5、nge this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination,it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others; nobody loves them,and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect.This frequently puts the

16、ure考查词性转换。结合语境和冠词a的提示可知，此处应用名词形式。4happier考查形容词的比较级。否定词与比较级连用表达最高级含义，与上文的joy呼应。5was talked考查动词的时态和语态。由语境可知，Every person和talk之间是被动关系；再由前一句的时态可知，应用一般过去时的被动语态。6is考查动词的时态。由附加问句“isnt she？”可知，此处应用is。7how考查宾语从句的连接词。how引导宾语从句且在从句中修饰形容词wonderful。8them考查代词。介词about后应跟代词的宾格形式且表示“他们”，故填them。9toward(s)/to考查介词。atti
17、tude toward(s)/to sb. 意为“对某人的态度”，符合语义。10thankful考查词性转换。be动词后一般跟形容词作表语，故此处用形容词形式。*完形填空My mother was a gift giver.The occasion never _1_ Christmas，birthdays，anniversaries or no occasion at all.She was always thinking about who might_2_ what.Creativity and _3_ went into the gifts she gave，and she _4_ a

24、播了生活的美好。1A根据空后的“Christmas，birthdays，anniversaries or no occasion at all”可知，母亲的给予是不分场合的，即给予的场合不重要。故A项符合语境。2C根据该句“She was always thinking about who might _2_ what”并结合常识可知，送礼物要根据别人的喜好，所以作者的母亲会想别人喜欢什么。故选C项。3A根据“She was always thinking about who might _2_ what”和空前的“Creativity”可知，作者的母亲经常思考，所送的礼物既要有新意又要很体贴
25、。thoughtfulness意为“体贴，关切”；sympathy意为“同情”；justice意为“公平”； authority意为“权威”。故选A项。4B根据第一段的第一句“My mother was a gift giver”可知，作者的母亲是一个给予者；结合该句中的“Creativity and _3_ went into the gifts she gave，and she_4_ a thankyou note”可知，她很欣赏感谢便条。故B项正确。5C根据该句中的“Once she sent out notes to her own children and grandchildren
26、 who had not acknowledged gifts，_5_ that they were now on herFecal Roster(黑名单)”可知，有一次她给收到礼物却没有表达感谢的孩子和孙子发了纸条，纸条上说他们现在在她的“黑名单”上。assume意为“假设”； abuse意为“滥用”；state意为“陈述，说明”；correct意为“纠正”。故选C项。6D根据该句中的“she had received a proper thank you”并结合上文可知，母亲不会将孩子们(的名字)从“黑名单”上删除，直到她收到一句谢谢。故选D项。7A根据上文可知，作者的母亲送礼物的时候，希
27、望得到一句谢谢。send意为“发送”；purchase意为“购买”；conduct意为“进行”；obtain意为“获得”。故选A项。8B根据第一段第二句中的“Christmas，birthdays，anniversaries or no occasion at all”可知，不只是在节假日，母亲在很多情况下都会准备礼物；结合该句中的“shed give you another gift the next_8_ she had”可知，她会在下一次有机会时赠给你另一件礼物。B项意为“机会”，符合语境。9B她认为没有礼貌是你的问题，而不是她的问题。得到礼物不回谢应该是没有礼貌的行为，故B项符合语境。
28、10C根据空后的“all of us would gather in the driveway as they unloaded luggage”可知，作者的父母是开车过去的。drive over意为“驱车前来”，符合语境，故选C项。11A根据该句中的“There was always something for the kids”及下文可知，他们总是给孩子们带一些东西，通常是一些小玩具或者是自制的饼干。故选A项。12C根据该句中的“a couple of little toys or a big _12_ of homemade cookies”及常识可知，饼干是放在盒子之类的容器(cont
29、ainer)里的。tank意为“(贮放液体或气体的)箱”，cage意为“笼子”，holder意为“持有者”，均不符合语境。故选C项。13D根据该句和前一句“They werent gifts for particular occasions”可知，它们不是为特殊场合而准备的礼物，只是(simply)关于“难道生活不美好吗？”的礼物。“Isnt life great？” gifts可以理解为“彰显生活美好的礼物”。故选D项。14D一个春天，当作者的父母来拜访时，母亲递给作者一个礼物包。结合第一段中的“My mother was a gift giver”可知，这里指“礼物包”。故选D项。15A根
30、据空后的“A Special Daughter.Youve.and Love”并结合该句可知，礼物包里面是一幅画，画上写着下文中的几句话。read“写着”，符合语境。16D此处表示，你为我们的生活带来欢笑和欢乐，对我们的爱如此之深。由常识可知，此处表示孩子为父母带来欢声笑语。故选D项。17B根据该句中的“The most precious things we can _17_ for you are the things you have given us”可知，父母希望子女得到的是子女给予他们的，即欢声笑语和爱。故选B项。18C根据上文中的“Youve _16_ laughter and j
31、oy to our lives and so much love to our hearts”及空后的“Love”并结合选项可知，孩子可以为父母带来幸福和爱。assistance意为“援助”；privilege意为“特权”；happiness意为“幸福”；satisfaction意为“满意”。故选C项。19D根据本文第一句“My mother was a gift giver”并结合上下文可知，母亲是一个极好的礼物赠送者。故选D项。20A根据该句中的“but the best gifts we will always remember her for were her love for_20_
32、 and her love for us”可知，此处表示我们永远记得她给的最好的礼物是她对生活的热爱和她对我们的爱。从文中作者母亲的行为可以看出作者的母亲对生活的热爱。故A项符合语境。*短文改错Li Ming is a friend of mine. Im glad he changed greatly in the past two years.

35、 take exercise, made him very upset. Later, he realized he went on like that, he would end up nothing. So he made up his to make a change. He went running every morning and played basketball every afternoon. Besides, he followed a diet of more vegetables less meat. Gradually he began to lose weight.
36、 He is now an energetic boy in good health. So when faced with problems, we should overcome with great determination and strong willpower.难项分析：第一处：changed前加has考查动词的时态。根据时间状语in the past two years可知，此处表示从过去开始发生的动作，并对现在造成了影响。因此，应用现在完成时。故在changed前加has。第二处：beforeago考查副词。before指从过去某刻起若干时间以前，常与完成时连用，ago指从此刻起若干时间以前，常与过去时连用。根据上下文可知，此处讲述的是过去的事情，故将before改为ago。第五处：unlessif考查连词。“he went on like that (他继续像那样)”是“he would end up . nothing”的条件，因此应用if引导条件状语从句。故将unless改为if。* 8
