【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了用一些植物、水果和鲜花装饰中国新年的寓意。

1．考查名词。句意：中国新年是一个庆祝冬天的结束和春天的开始。不定冠词a后接名词形式。故填celebration。

2．考查主谓一致。句意：这就是为什么用植物、水果和鲜花装饰具有特殊意义的原因。这是一个表语从句，从句主语为动名词短语decorating with plants, fruits and flowers，所以谓语动词用单数形式。故填carries。

3．考查非谓语动词。句意：它们代表着大地的复苏和对新开端的美好祝愿。句中谓语动词为represent，所以这里为非谓语动词。名词earth与come back to之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填coming。

4．考查短语。句意：桔子树不仅仅是装饰品；more than不仅仅，不只是。故填than。

5．考查非谓语动词。句意：它们是很好的礼物，你会经常看到它们装饰着红包和好运的信息。句中them指代前句中的orange trees，与decorate之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填decorated。

6．考查副词。句意：当然在假期期间，这种植物是绝对必要的事物。介词短语做时间状语，因此只有改变成副词才能复合句子结构，用副词形式做状语。故填Certainly。

7．考查短语。句意：竹类植物与健康、富足和幸福的家庭联系在一起。be associated with与……相联系。故填with。

8．考查非谓语动词。句意：它们很容易照顾，也很适合作为礼物。这里考查“be +形容词 + to do”结构。故填to care。

9．考查形容词。句意：美丽的长枝上覆盖着粉红色的花蕾，做成漂亮的装饰。修饰名词branches，用形容词形式。故填beautiful。

10．考查冠词。句意：雪还在融化时，梅花是第一个开花的。这里表示特指，所以序数词first前要加定冠词the。故填the。

第二节 阅读理解

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.

The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.

You cannot be successful without first developing your self­esteem. Your level of self­esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self­esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.

You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.

Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.

If you associate with positive­thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.

In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.

1．People with low self­esteem are compared to leaves because they ________．

A．are ready to change their minds     B．are easily affected by windy weather

C．don't have the power to face their fate    D．can't exercise control over themselves

2．The last paragraph serves as ________．

A．the proof of the author's points   B．the conclusion of the argument

C．an introduction to another topic   D．a comparison between two views

3．Which is the best title for the text?

A．Success is a choice     B．The secrets of success

C．Develop our confidence    D．How to achieve success

【参考答案】

不要再浪费时间去考虑失败的原因了，成功的关键在于你的态度。只有以积极的心态面对生活，你才能让成功的种子发芽。

1．D　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句They are leaves tossed by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.可知：自尊心弱的人就像风中的叶子不能掌控自己。故选D。

2．B　推理判断题。根据标志词In short以及后面的内容可知，作者是在总结得出结论。

3．A　主旨大意题。根据文章的主题句Success is a choice and not a chance.及全文内容可知选A。

B

In my dual profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.

Tyler was born infected with HIV; his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medication to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were fastened to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.

Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine­laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at(大为惊讶) his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.

This deadly disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little of a dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV­infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.

A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned(示意) me over to his hospital bed and whispered, “I might die soon. I'm not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she's coming to heaven, too. I'll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”

4．What happened to Tyler in his early age?

A．He was independent on medication to survive.

B．He got a tube in his chest.

C．His mother was infected with HIV.

D．He had inserted a pump on his back.

5．Why did Tyler wear a backpack?

A．Because he thought it was cool and fashionable.

B．Because there was a pump in it, which could help with his disease.

C．Because the doctor and his mom asked him to wear it.

D．Because he had no right to choose but to wear it.

6．After reading Paragraph 4, we can know ________．

A．the relationship between Tyler and his mom is not good

B．Tyler's mom loved him and was unwilling to tell him about the disease

C．Tyler's mom is as weak as him because of the disease

D．Tyler loved his mom very much

7．What does the author want to tell us by writing this passage?

A．People who are infected with HIV will die soon.

B．Having a positive attitude will keep you from the deadly disease.

C．Even a child can teach us a lot and be respected.

D．Everyone should have great courage to face the problems.

【参考答案】

 [文章大意] 这是一篇记叙文。身为教育者和医生的作者给我们讲述了Tyler的故事。Tyler一出生就被感染上了艾滋病，他的妈妈也感染了艾滋病，Tyler短暂的一生，是靠药物来维持的，在生命的最后时刻，妈妈告诉他病情，他和妈妈都能勇敢地面对死亡。

4．B　细节理解题。从文章第二段的Tyler was born infected with HIV; his mother was also infected.

6．C　推理判断题。从第四段的He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV­infected mother. 和She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven. 推出答案。
