Several weeks later, threw a party at the for the children who had birthdays that month．They decorated, served cake, and danced with 50 kids．Alex helped presents．

that first party, the couple have turned their simple idea Birthday Blessings, a non-profit that hosts monthly parties at 10 shelters．

To date, Birthday Blessings （birthday blessings．org．） has thrown more than 500 at different shelters and handed out 22,000 party to nearly 4,000 homeless children in and around their community．

Birthday Blessings is entirely by volunteers．The charity（慈善）will take almost anything — toys, clothing, candy, baby items— it’s not used．“These kids never get anything new．” John said, “It makes a big to them psychologically．”

1.考查系動(dòng)詞辨析。句意為：當(dāng)他們的孩子艾力克斯三歲時(shí)。表示年齡的變化使用turn,這是turn的固定用法。故選擇A。

2.考查名詞辨析。通過上下文可知夫婦倆想讓孩子能夠關(guān)愛他人。所以選擇D，意為夫婦。選項(xiàng)A意為避難所；選項(xiàng)B意為鄰居；選項(xiàng)C意為朋友。故選D。

3.考查代詞辨析。根據(jù)句意：夫婦倆想盡辦法去教育孩子給予他人。選項(xiàng)A意為另一個(gè)人；選項(xiàng)B意為又一個(gè)人；選項(xiàng)C意為其他人；選項(xiàng)D意為互相。根據(jù)句意，選擇C。

5.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。通過上文the couple were brainstorming ways to teach Alex about giving to others.可知這對(duì)夫婦是希望孩子有所影響，那么他們自然希望自己的孩子也能加入這一事情中。故選擇A。構(gòu)成短語：participate in，意為參加，參與。

6.考查副詞辨析。根據(jù)下文The next day, we called a local shelter可知這對(duì)夫婦打電話給收容所。那么，自然可推斷出本句意思為：我們開始想知道那些不幸的孩子們?cè)谧约旱纳諘r(shí)在做些什么。故選擇B，表示不幸的。

7.考查形容詞辨析。根據(jù)上文，這對(duì)夫婦打電話給收容所可知這些孩子既然呆在收容所，也就說明他們無家可歸。選項(xiàng)A意為沒有錢的；選項(xiàng)B意為沒有工作的；選項(xiàng)C意為無家可歸的；選項(xiàng)D意為沒有希望的。根據(jù)句意選擇C。

12.考查介詞辨析。這道題容易誤選成C，意為在第一次生日聚會(huì)后。但是這道題有個(gè)關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)就是主句the couple have turned their simple idea中所使用的時(shí)態(tài)為現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，而能這樣使用則要求時(shí)間狀語應(yīng)該是由since引導(dǎo)的。故選擇D。

The elephant and the fly

An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came，flying and buzzing (嗡嗡叫) near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again, and the elephant waved it away once more.

This was repeated several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can’t you stay for a while in one place? ”

The fly answered, “I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them．What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?”

The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule my attention. Whatever I do, I get involved in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely absorbed in eating. In this way I can enjoy my food and chew it better. I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around. So when you are in charge of your five senses and attention, your mind will become calm too.”

科目：高中英語 來源：2014-2015學(xué)年陜西西安臨潼區(qū)華清中學(xué)高三第一次模擬考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：其他題

A. How inner beliefs can help

B. Why are habits so important

C. How to develop positive habits

D. Improve your life

E. You can do it

F. Action plan

The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run.

1._________________________________

Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won’t see a big difference in your life. However, if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run.

2._________________________________

There’s nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.

3.__________________________________

If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits. For example, your old belief was: “I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed. I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed.” If you keep this belief, you won’t be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body. Yoga makes me happy.” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won’t stop you from changing your habits. The same is true when you try to form positive habits. If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: “Healthy food is very good for my health. It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good.”

4.____________________________________

It’s now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits. Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of. For each positive habit, write down exactly what actions you’re going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit. For each negative habit, write down exactly what actions you’re not going to take in the next weeks. Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc.. Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc..

5._____________________________________

Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and commitment. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action right now! Don’t be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to quit, success will be yours.
