In order to improve relationship with others, you need to be aware of several sensible ways to complain.1, you need to be specific. Don’t say, “Boy, did you2like a fool at the party?” Instead, say, “You embarrassed me by getting3and loud and telling offensive jokes to my parents.” Secondly, stick to the present. Don’t mention old offences from last month or last year. By doing this, you4attention from the problem at hand. Moreover,5you complain, don’t add insults. If you start calling the other person names, that will6create anger and hurt any chance of getting the person to really7you. A last point to remember is to complain privately. Never criticize the other person in front of friends, parents, children, or anyone else, for that8. Criticizing in front of a third party has the same effect as9. This shames the person being criticized and makes it very likely that the person will want to attack you orally rather than listen to you.

本文作者論述怎樣發(fā)牢騷,在生活中我們不要直接的朝別人抱怨,要講究方法,作者給我們提出幾條建議,大家不妨試試。
1.考查語境的理解。從上下文分析知道,這里是作者提到的第一個建議,所以用To start with表示“首先”;frankly speaking坦白地說;anyway無論如何, 總之;needless to say不必說。
2.考查形動詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。從語境知道表示在宴會上的行為,表現(xiàn)。
3.。考查形容詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。從上文說道的宴會和下文的不禮貌舉止,知道是喝醉了。
4.考查動詞詞組意思辨析和語境的理解。take away 取走;set off出發(fā), 動身, 使爆炸, 引起,;draw up草擬, 停;catch up追上, 吸住。從語境知道,當(dāng)談?wù)摤F(xiàn)在的事情時,最好不要涉及到以前的事,因?yàn)槟菢訒稚κ诸^上事情的注意力。
5.考查連詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。從上下文知道這里表示時間,即:當(dāng)抱怨時,不要侮辱人。
6.考查副詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。如果你在抱怨時,開口罵對方,將僅僅增加憤怒和失去別人聆聽你的話的機(jī)會。
7.考查動詞詞組意思辨析和語境的理解。綜合上文,這里表示“聽”。
8.考查固定搭配和語境的理解。for that matter (="for" the matter of that)關(guān)于那一點(diǎn), 就此而言, 對此, 就那件事而論。
9.考查名詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。在第三者面前批評別人等于在罵他。
10.考查語境的理解。這里是對上文建議的總結(jié),從整體文章的大意以及上面的總結(jié):形式要特殊;只說現(xiàn)在的事情;私下抱怨,可以推測這里是說“不要有辱罵性的語言”。

B
It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. The man who is too lazy to work is the man who is generally most ready to beg or to steal. Every boy, when he is young, should learn how to do some useful work.
But it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work. He should put his heart and soul completely into his work, and not waste his spare time. “Work while you work and play while you play” is as good a rule for young people as for the old!
There is no better help to diligence (勤奮) than the habit of early rising, and this, just like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth. There is an English saying, “Lost time never returns”. This means that everybody must be diligent and make good use of his time. One must study hard when one is young so that one may make great progress, succeed in life and become useful to one’s country. Those who are diligent will never become beggars. Therefore, we can say that diligence is the mother of success.
【小題1】From the passage, we know that those who are too lazy to work will_________.

A.waste their time
B.help others
C.become beggars or thieves
D.make progress some day
【小題2】In order to learn to be diligent, it’s important for young people to _________.
A.form the good habit of getting up early in youth
B.learn about some good habits
C.work while they work and play while they play
D.work all the time without playing
【小題3】One can’t be successful in life unless he _________when he is young.
A.is diligent in his study
B.loves life
C.spends some time learning something
D.makes up for his lost time

Don't believe all of the stereotypes (模式化的形象) you may have heard about Americans.Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large part of the population.For example,although Americans tend to be louder than people from other cultures(especially at athletic events),many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite.Some people may be intolerant,but most will be pleasant and welcoming.Remember that American films and television exaggerate(夸張)in order to generate excitement,and so present a rather false picture of what 1ife in the United States is really like.Therefore,tourists in the US are not always on their best behavior.
Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries.It is common for Americans to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name.However,good manners and politeness are always appreciated.If you are polite,and dress a little more formally than your American friends,it will not be poorly thought of.
However,some businesses require their employees to wear a uniform or a suit.It would be improper to wear a T-shirt and blue jeans to a job interview.Some of the more prestigious restaurants require a coat and tie.Americans tend to dress up for cultural events(the opera,theater and ballet)and to dress down for athletic events.Formal wear is required at weddings and funerals,or any other event with religious event.If you rely on the stereotypes,you will likely put yourself into an embarrassing situation

D
There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously. I don’t mean while you’re unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.
That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world, mother tongue. I just pick them up. But the problem is that some of them may be misunderstood. Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.
The 5% mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least frequently used words, as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of the misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without knowing that we got them wrong.
Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game. “There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,” They will say. “You have to practise guessing what the word means from the context.”
This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.
And what’s more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.
Don’t guess! Look it up!
67. It is certain that the best way to learn new words is________.
A. to learn them by oneself                           
B. to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequently
C. to guess them from the context
D. to get more separate meanings of each word^
68. The underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to_______.
A. the 30,000 words                        B. English teachers
C. misunderstood words                  D. frequently used words
69. Which of the following is most likely NOT true?
A. Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.
B. Most of the 30,000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.
C. How many words the writer got wrong are not known.
D. All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.
70. It can be inferred that_____________.
A. when somebody is conscious, he or she usually can’t learn new words by heart.
B. We must use the words as often as possible in order to master them.
C. It’s the best way to learn new words that one should only guess their meanings from the context
D. Only dictionaries can help us learn language well.

(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
A priest(牧師) had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The priest persuaded, offered warm milk, et The kitty would not come down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did so, checking his progress in the car frequently, then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke.
The tree went “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air —out of sight. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty.
So, he prayed, “God, I just give this kitty to your keeping,” and went on about his business.
Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Now this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”
She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if God gives you a cat, you can keep it.” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her.” 
【小題1】The priest drove his car to bend the tree in order to ________. 
A. get his kitty down from the tree
B. persuade his kitty to come down
  offer the kitty some warm milk
D. see if the rope was strong enough
【小題2】The underlined sentence probably means that the priest _______.
A. was happy he didn’t have to care for the kitty
B. hoped his neighbors would look after his cat
  thought his kitty might be lost or killed
D. didn’t want to see his kitty any more
【小題3】 Why was the priest amazed when he saw the woman had bought much cat food?
A. Because he couldn’t imagine she had her own cat.
B. Because the woman was his church member.
  Because he thought she would live on cat food.
D. Because he knew clearly she didn’t like a cat.
【小題4】Which may be the best title of this passage?
A. A flying cat                           B. A lucky girl
  God sent her a cat                   D. An unlucky priest
