【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇哲理性記敘文。通過(guò)一個(gè)年輕人與一伙老年人在叢林中砍樹的故事闡明了一個(gè)道理：磨刀不誤砍柴工。

1.考查形容詞辨析。A弱的；B聰明的；C勤奮的；D好看的。從下文中年輕人從來(lái)都不休息的事實(shí)可知：他是一個(gè)極其“勤勞的（hard?working）”人。故選C。

2.動(dòng)詞辨析。A欽佩；B抱怨；C提醒；D預(yù)測(cè)。在他看來(lái)，那些老人經(jīng)常浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，一天當(dāng)中要休息好幾次去閑聊，這一切都讓他看不慣，因此他總是“抱怨（complained）”。故選B。

3.動(dòng)詞辨析。A計(jì)劃；B出現(xiàn)；C工作；D休息。由wasting time及several times a day to drink and chat可知，這里指一天當(dāng)中要休息好幾次去閑聊。故選D。

4.連詞辨析。A盡管；B只有；C因?yàn)�；D除非。從邏輯上來(lái)判斷：“盡管（even though）”他辛勤勞作，但那些老人砍的樹跟他一樣多，有時(shí)比他砍得還多。故選A。

5.考查名詞辨析。A照片；B休息；C步驟；D洗澡。由and前worked through break time可以推斷出，這個(gè)年輕人在休息時(shí)間也工作，從來(lái)不休息。故選B。

6.考查名詞辨析。A重量；B高度；C數(shù)量；D價(jià)格。根據(jù)事實(shí)可知：老人們砍的樹跟他的“數(shù)量同樣多（same amount）”。故選C。

7.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A失敗；B假裝；C同意；D決定。這里說(shuō)于是他“決定（decided）”第二天更加辛苦地勞作。故選D。

8.考查名詞辨析。A標(biāo)志；B結(jié)果；C影響；D條件。這里說(shuō)不幸的是，第二天的“結(jié)果（results）”更糟糕。故選B。

9.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A邀請(qǐng)；B指責(zé)；C感謝；D原諒。本空后for a drink提示：其中一位老人“邀請(qǐng)（invited）”他一起喝一杯休息一會(huì)。故選A。

10.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A懇求；B爭(zhēng)論；C點(diǎn)頭；D拒絕。他以自己沒(méi)有“多余的（extra）”時(shí)間來(lái)休息為借口“拒絕了（refused）”他的邀請(qǐng)。故選D。

11.考查形容詞辨析。A錯(cuò)誤的；B有價(jià)值的；C額外的；D精確的。由小題10分析得到，他以自己沒(méi)有多余的時(shí)間為由。故選C。

12.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A介意；B避免；C實(shí)踐；D保持。不磨斧子而“連續(xù)（keep）”砍樹就是在做低效率的事。故選D。

13.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A加速；B放棄；C當(dāng)心；D關(guān)掉。如果繼續(xù)這樣不休息地勞作，用不了多久你就會(huì)支持不住而“放棄（give up）”。故選B。

14.考查名詞辨析。A精力，體力；B錢；C生活；D技能。由be so tired可知，由于這位年輕人耗費(fèi)了太多的體力而非常勞累。故選A。

15.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A警告；B預(yù)期；C意識(shí)到，明白；D宣布。聽到老人的話，年輕人突然“明白了（realized）”這個(gè)道理。故選C。

16.考查副詞辨析。A也；B幾乎不；C很少；D絕不。他發(fā)現(xiàn)他們?cè)谛菹r(shí)，同時(shí)“也（also）”在磨自己的斧子。故選A。

17.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A談；B砍；C走；D攀登。他終于明白他們“砍（chop）”樹比他快的原因了。故選B。

18.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A放棄；B介紹；C需要；D教。這里指我們所需要的是我們的技術(shù)效率。故選C。

19.考查副詞辨析。A快速地；B好奇地；C認(rèn)真地；D巧妙地。把這兩者“巧妙地（intelligently）”結(jié)合起來(lái)。故選D。

20.考查名詞辨析。A時(shí)間；B工具；C工作；D耐心。否則的話，我們總會(huì)低效率地忙個(gè)不停，說(shuō)自己沒(méi)有“時(shí)間（time）”。故選A。

“Wow, you got an A without even studying.”

“Your drawing is wonderful –you’re my little Picasso.”

If you’re like most parents, you offer praise to your children, believing it is the key to their success. (No. 1) But according to a new study, praise may do more harm than good.

For the study, after a simple IQ test, one group was told it did really well and must be very smart. The other group was told it did really well and must have worked hard. One group was praised for intelligence and the other was praised _______________.

Asked if they wanted to take a slightly harder test, the kids praised for their intelligence were unwillingly. Of those praised for their effort, however, 90 percent were eager for a more challenging task. And on a final test the effort group performed significantly better than the group praised for its intelligence.

Many of the kids who had been labeled “smart” performed worst of all. The “hard workers” got the message that they could improve their scores by trying harder, but the “smart” kids believed they should do well without any effort.(No.2) Thus, kids who get too much praise are less likely to take risks, are highly sensitive to failure and are more likely to give up when faced with a challenge.

Tips for Parents:

Avoid labels. (No.3) Praising for effort sends the message that your child has the power to improve and change. Be mindful of labeling yourself and others.

Teach kids from an early age that the brain is a muscle that can be strengthened with practice. This sends the message that kids can directly affect their intelligence.

Parents often praise their kids to make themselves feel good, or to protect their kids from failure. But it’s very important for parents to help their kids to learn to deal with setbacks (挫折) and to help them focus on ways to improve.

1.Please fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (within 4 words)

One group was praised for intelligence and the other was praised __________________________________.

2.Which sentence (No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3) in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

As a result of much praise, kids will lack enough courage to risk and face failure and a challenge.

_________________________________________________

3. How many pieces of advice does the writer give to parents?

_______________________ （within one word）

4.What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

_________________________________________________

5.Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.

_________________________________________________

_________________________________________________.

In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便車).

I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.

Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”

I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

3.The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .

A. she realized he was Gordon

B. she had known him for decades

C. she was going to the nearby town

D. she wanted to repay the favour she once got

4.What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?

A. Giving sometimes produces nice results.

B. Those who give rides will be rapid.

C. Good manners bring about happiness.

D. People should offer free rides to others.
