本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，由為孩子挑選圣誕節(jié)禮物討論了圣誕節(jié)禮物背后的文化與意義。

【1】考查時(shí)態(tài)。句意：再過(guò)兩天，就是圣誕節(jié)了，全世界的孩子們盼望這一天已經(jīng)有好幾個(gè)星期了。此處表示動(dòng)作從過(guò)去一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在，而且還有可能繼續(xù)下去，所以用現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)，故填have been looking。

【4】考查非限定性定語(yǔ)從句。句意同上，此處為非限定性定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞為Christmas morning，指時(shí)間，從句中不缺主賓表，缺少時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，故填when。

【5】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：挑選一份好禮物需要了解你要送給的人。require doing表示“需要做……”，故填knowing。

【6】考查定語(yǔ)從句。句意：通常明智的做法是提供一張收據(jù)，讓對(duì)方用它來(lái)?yè)Q禮物。此處為“介詞+關(guān)系代詞”形式的定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞為receipt，指物，exchange sth with sth表示“用……換……”，故填with which。

【7】考查連詞。句意：許多美國(guó)人并不認(rèn)為金錢(qián)是一種好禮物，因?yàn)樗恍枰魏嗡伎�。根�?jù)句意可知前后是因果關(guān)系，此處表示原因，故填because。

【8】考查定語(yǔ)從句。句意：送禮物反映了人們慶祝圣誕節(jié)的原因。此處為定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞為reason，從句中缺少原因狀語(yǔ)，故填why。

【9】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：當(dāng)他出生的時(shí)候，智者們帶著昂貴的禮物走了很多英里去看他。

wise men與bring之間是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，表示主動(dòng)，用現(xiàn)在分詞做伴隨狀語(yǔ)，故填bringing。

【10】考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。句意：我們需要上帝寬恕我們的惡行，這樣我們才能永遠(yuǎn)與他在一起�？蘸笫莿�(dòng)詞原形，此處需要填情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，表示“能”，“needed”表明用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，故填could。

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Where do you think the world’s happiest people live? Somewhere hot with sandy beaches? A country with a tradition of the fine food and culture? Not according to a recent study by the university of Leicester. Who are the happiest people on Earth? 【1】 Surprised? Well you’ll be more surprised when you hear that the Danes pay some of the highest taxes in the world. So what is the secret of their success?

Let’s start with all that tax they pay. The Danish government provides its people with one of the finest education and health systems in the world. It spends more on children and elderly people per capital than other country.

And there’s another advantage to those high taxes. Because a shop assistant’s final salary is not that much less than someone who works in a bank, for example, Danes don’t choose their careers based on money or status as people in other countries do. They choose the job they want to do. There’s a philosophy in Denmark known as “Jante-lov”, which translates as “you’re no better than anybody else.” 【2】 But workers in other countries are not used to looking at life in this way.

Money doesn’t seem as important in Denmark. It has been called a “post consumerist” society. 【3】 What is more important is the sense of society and it’s no surprise that Danes are very used to socializing. 92% of Danes belong to some kind of social club and these clubs are even paid for by the government.

【4】 They also show an amazing amount of trust in each other and their government. You can see sighs of this all over the country. You’ll find vegetable stalls with no assistant. You take what you want and leave the money in a basket. perhaps the bike is a good symbol for Denmark. The Danes can afford cars but they choose bikes—simple, economical, non-polluting machines that show no status and help keep people fit.

A. In a list ranking countries by the happiness of their citizens, it pm tropical Fiji 50 places below freezing Iceland.

B. The street sweeper can hold his head up high as he proudly does his job.

C. Danish people aren’t as suspicious as many other nations.

D. Most Danes are used to seeing between 50-70% of their salary going to the government!

E. Those 5.5 million people who call Denmark their home.

F. People have nice things in their houses, but they’re not mad about shopping and spending.

【3】 all this could be about to change, thanks to a simple 【4】 (invent) by a team at the UK’s Nottingham Trent University.

Professor Amin hit on the 【5】 (brilliant) simple idea of replacing some of the concrete with 【6】sealable plastic container which can be filled with water once the machine is in place. 【7】 doing this, the weight of a washing machine can 【8】 (cut) by a third.

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music

It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(憤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”

But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利爾交響樂(lè)團(tuán)) ?

A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.

We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.

But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.

They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(綠洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.

Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(認(rèn)知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.

【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(審美的) experiences can transform people.
