A British woman，Dr.Mantri，growing up in India started to notice his son，Dhruv，was struggling with simple arithmetic when he was in fifth-grade.After noticing this，she started employing an abacus （算盘） to help her son visually comprehend mathematics.
"I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 and he couldn't do it." said Dhruv's mom Dr.Mantri. "I decided to change the way he looked at numbers，" she said. "An abacus is a tried and tested method，and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid." In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become a whizz kid with numbers，with even his classmates' parents reaching out for help.
She never thought she would teach her son using an abacus，which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful.Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results.So dramatic was the turnaround，that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at an assembly，where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids.
IT specialist Dr.Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it's like a game. "It becomes a playing tool for younger children，for it feels like a game.I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them." She added.
By the age of 12，Dhruv was giving online cyber security seminars and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics.Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship （实习） at an international firm.During the four-year apprenticeship，he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. "He is so confident now and I am so proud，" she said，with Dhruv adding "I don't think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time."
4. Why did Dhruv have difficulty in learning mathematics？ ______
A. He was faced with language barrier.
B. He didn't find a proper way.
C. He suffered from eyesight problems.
D. He lacked academic support from the family.
5. What does the underlined word "whizz" in paragraph 2 mean？ ______
A. Careful. B. Diligent. C. Outstanding. D. Struggling.
6. Why do kids like learning on abacus according to the text？ ______
A. They find it appealing. B. They can calculate faster.
C. They enjoy playing games. D. They are eager for success.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph？ ______
A. Dhruv was addicted to the internet at 12.
B. Dhruv is teaching data science and analytics now.
C. Dhruv is a full-time student at Glasgow Caledonian University.
D. Dhruv's career choice was beyond his teachers' expectation.

The unusual day of February 29 comes up on the calendar only every four years.In American English，February 29 is called a leap day.And the entire 12-month period with a February 29 in it is called a leap year.The year 2020 is such a year.
As a verb，the word "leap" means to jump，or to move quickly. "Leap" can also be a noun，meaning a jump or a sudden move.In a leap year，the dates jump over one day of the week.In 2017，the last day of the year December 31，fell on a Sunday.In 2018，it fell on a Monday.In 2019，it fell on the Tuesday.But in 2020，December 31 will fall on a Thursday.It just leaps right over Wednesday. "Leap" is also an important word for two American expressions.One is a kind of warning.If you want someone to investigate a situation completely before taking action，you might say "look before you leap".The other expression is a phrase of hope.Urging someone to "take a leap of faith" invites the person to take action，even if not everything about a situation is known.
Interestingly，both phrases are completely reasonable to say to someone who is about to get married.
On that note，some people choose to many on February 29 because it is an unusual day.But some ancient people would likely tell couples not to do it.Leap years were believed to be difficult，and leap days were unlucky and a bad time to begin anything new.
Whatever you think about them，the changes in the calendar will be gone soon enough.Then we can return to normal，and leap over February 29 as usual.
8. If December 31，2121 is Wednesday，what day is December 31，2124？ ______
A. Thursday. B. Friday. C. Saturday. D. Sunday.
9. When can you use the phrase "take a leap of faith"？ ______
A. When you encourage someone to take action.
B. When you advise someone not to hold a wedding.
C. When you warn someone not to make a decision quickly.
D. When you want someone to investigate a situation carefully.
10. What did some ancient people think of leap days？ ______
A. They were good days to try new things.
B. They were normal days in leap years.
C. They were a bad time for getting married.
D. They were a good time for moving house.
11. What is the best title for the text？ ______
A. Lucky Days for Couples. B. Leap Days and Leap Years.
C. The Changes in the Calendar. D. The Importance of February 29.
D
According to a study done by University of Michigan，shopping to reduce stress was 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad than those only looking at items.
More than half of the 1，000 consumers surveyed by Credit Karma，head researcher of the study，said they have shopped to deal with feelings of stress or depression.About 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress shopping said they had purchased alcohol when stressed.About 82 percent of women spend on clothing compared to 52 percent of men.Women also lead shopping for jewellery，42 percent，compared to 22 percent for men.
In some sense，stress shopping can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered.The survey found 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood was long-lasting.However，stress shopping，for many，could grow into a drive that uses up money，causes conflict，and therefore adds great stress to life.
Despite the in-time joy from purchases，stress shopping never proves a long-lasting cure to stress or depression.Actually it needs to be avoided anyhow.Whether you're purchasing Christmas presents or buying groceries having the items you need written down will provide you with brightness while shopping.Reward yourself for sticking to your list and you'll be more likely to commit to it.
In addition always think about what you struggle with most financially.Do you spend too much money at the mall？Eating out？Vacations？Make a list of where your money is going and take necessary steps to resist your desire.For example，if you spend too much money on dining out on weekends，stuff your cupboard with food on Friday.So you'll be more likely to stay in and cook.And you need to give up the need to keep up with others.Everyone's financial situation is different and comparison may lead to debt and dissatisfaction with what you already have.
12. Why does the author mention those numbers in Paragraph 2？ ______
A. To support an idea. B. To attract readers.
C. To call for actions. D. To introduce a topic.
13. Which of the following may help deal with stress shopping？ ______
A. Stimulating desires. B. Recording spendings.
C. Turning to medicines. D. Comparing with others.
14. What is the author's attitude to stress shopping？ ______
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Negative.
15. What is a suitable title for the text？ ______
A. Does shopping benefit us？
B. More stressed，women or men？
C. Should we compare with others？
D. Can stress shopping reduce stress？
二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）
What exactly is the importance of teachers in the current educational landscape？The last few years have witnessed the rise of education technology and online tutoring firms. （1） Such people，however，have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.
The internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. （2） Knowing that 'tomato is a fruit' is information，and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom.This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day to day life.Books and the internet can give you information，but only a teacher can pass on wisdom. （3） Understanding the reason for the poor performance of a particular child and helping them overcome their weakness while also pushing the top performers to do better are things only a teacher can do.
You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing and interesting videos but it is never enough. （4） But videos are made for a general audience.They can hardly be sufficient for the problems that students face in their life outside the classroom.Only teachers who have spent time with their students can guide the students in a way that can help them figure a way out of any problem they might be facing in their life.
（5） While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article，these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.
A.Wisdom，however，is something that it badly lacks.
B.Every single student is unique in his or her own way.
C.Teachers are also important in shaping the future of the youth.
D.On this point，the importance of teachers should never be understated.
E.Everything people can possibly learn is freely available on the internet.
F.Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.
G.These are just two ways that teachers have a massive impact on their students.
16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G

Blake and Allison are twins.Every year，I gave them birthday presents.But they always felt unhappy about not receiving something on their wish list.
I knew I had somewhat spoiled（宠坏） them，but I had no idea it was this bad.I was in shock.How self-centered and unappreciative could my children be？
I was determined to do something.
I found a family living on a farm that badly needed help.There were four children in the family aged from three to eight.I began to visit them every two months.
Soon，Allison and Blake's birthday was drawing near.I decided to introduce them to the new friends.One day，I woke the kids early and drove them to the farm.
When we arrived，I told my children to take two bags off the car，of which one was filled with food and the other with many boxes full of presents my children would never be satisfied with.
We were welcomed inside with smiles and appreciation.Obviously，Alison and Blake were shocked by what they saw.I could guess they had never expected people would live such a difficult life.
"Look!Presents for you."Allison was trying to make the kids happier.
With their parents' permission，the kids began to pick the boxes up，shake them，and guess what was inside.They were so excited.Allison and Blake encouraged the kids to open the boxes.They did.And there were shouts of surprise and joy：a model car，chocolate…then laughter.Then grateful hugs and sincere"thank-yous".
At first Alison and Blake looked confused but soon joined the children.Before long，they were laughing，too，proud that they brought happiness there.
On the way home，Alison and Blake were a little quiet.When it was time to go to bed that day，my kids hugged me and said，"Thank you，Mum."

本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论压力购物是否能真的减轻压力。
一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。近年来，教育技术在线辅导公司崛起了。许多人认为他们可能有一天完全取代正规学校教育。文章就此进行论证，指出学校教育不会过时。
1. 上文The last few years have witnessed the rise of education technology and online tutoring firms.（过去几年见证了教育技术和在线辅导公司的崛起。）提到教育技术和在线辅导公司崛起了，空处应该承接上文，具体说明教育技术和在线辅导公司的崛起，F选项"许多人认为，它们可能有一天完全取代正规学校教育。"符合，指出许多人认为教育技术和在线辅导公司崛起了，有一天会完全代替正轨学校教育，同时和下文是转折关系，下文Such people，however，have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.（然而，这些人却完全忽视了一件事，那就是教师的重要性，而正是这一点使得在合适的课堂上学习变得不可替代。）中的"Such people"指代选项中的"Many"，故选F。
2. 上文The internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess.（互联网上关于任何特定主题的信息比任何一个人希望拥有的都要多。）指出互联网拥有的信息很多，下文Knowing that 'tomato is a fruit' is information，and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom.This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day to day life.Books and the internet can give you information，but only a teacher can pass on wisdom.（知道"西红柿是一种水果"是信息，而不把它放在水果沙拉是智慧。这个例子很好地说明了智慧在日常生活中的重要性。书籍和互联网可以给你信息，但只有老师才能传授智慧。）指出互联网能提供给我们信息，但是却不能传递给我们智慧，所以空处应该引起下文，指出互联网缺乏智慧，A项"然而，智慧是它严重缺乏的东西。"符合语境，引起下文，故选A。
3. 上文Books and the internet can give you information，but only a teacher can pass on wisdom.（书籍和互联网可以给你信息，但只有老师才能传授智慧。）指出只有老师才能传授给我们智慧，此处说明了老师的重要性，空处应该承接上文，D项"在这一点上，教师的重要性永远不应该被低估。"符合语境，对上文进行总结，故选D。
4. 上文You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing and interesting videos but it is never enough.（你可以开发最令人惊叹的在线辅导平台，并用令人惊叹和有趣的视频填充它，但这是永远不够的。）指出作为老师，你可以开发最令人惊叹的在线辅导平台，并用令人惊叹和有趣的视频填充它，但这是不够的，因为每个学生都会独一无二的，下文But videos are made for a general audience. （但是视频是为普通观众制作的。）说明了这一点，即为普通大众制作的视频是不适合所有学生的，因为每个学生都是独一无二的，B项"每个学生都是独一无二的。"符合语境，故选B。
5. 下文While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article，these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.（虽然说明教师重要性的理由列表有点太长，不能放在一篇文章里，但这两种方法足以让那些认为去学校接受合适的教师教育很快就会过时的人噤声。）指出文章提到的这两种方法足以让那些认为去学校接受合适的教师教育很快就会过时的人噤声，因此空处应该引起下文，提到这两种方法，G项"这只是教师对学生产生巨大影响的两种方式。"符合语境，故选G。

【小题4】comprehensively
【小题5】which
【小题6】by
【小题7】to admire
【小题8】description
【小题9】headed
【小题10】astonishing
【解析】（1）but/yet.考查连词。句意：西藏是一个我非常想去的地方，但它的偏远和我无法去耽误了我的旅程。根据句意可知，上下文为转折关系，应用but/yet连接。故填but/yet。
（2）were rewarded.考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：然而，一路上我们收获了最美的风景，交到了朋友，所有这些花费都比坐飞机便宜。空处为句子谓语动词，结合语境和下文and made判断为一般过去时，主语we和reward之间为被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是复数，故填were rewarded。
（3）lower.考查形容词比较级。句意：然而，一路上我们收获了最美的风景，交到了朋友，所有这些花费都比坐飞机便宜。结合句子结构和than可知，此处应用形容词low的比较级lower修饰名词cost。故填lower。
（4）comprehensively.考查副词。句意：我们开始了拉萨之旅，观看朝圣者进行晨祷，全面探索宫殿。修饰后文非谓语动词exploring应用副词。故填comprehensively。
（5）which.考查定语从句。句意：我们在拉萨最好的餐厅之一吃了一顿令人难以置信的午餐，那里可以俯瞰大昭寺的美景。空处引导非限制性定语从句修饰指物的先行词one of the best restaurants in Lhasa，从句缺少主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
（6）by.考查介词。句意：然后我们从拉萨出发，沿公路前往珠穆朗玛大本营。根据句意表示"沿公路，通过公路"用by road。故填by。
（7）to admire.考查动词不定式。句意：沿途我们停下来欣赏羊卓克湖。结合句意表示"停下来去做某事"为stop to do sth.。故填to admire。
（8）description.考查不可数名词。句意：它的美丽无法形容。此处应用名词作宾语，beyond description"无法形容，难以形容"，为固定表达。故填description。
（9）headed.考查时态。句意：我们住在大本营旁边的一家宾馆里，在放下行李后，我们径直走出去看珠穆朗玛峰。分析可知，空处和上文stayed是并列的谓语动词，也应用一般过去时。故填headed。
（10）astonishing.考查现在分词。句意：山顶直插云霄，以其难以置信的高度使我们吃惊。分析可知，逗号后部分是状语，空处应填非谓语动词，逻辑主语The tip of the mountain和astonish之间为主动关系，应用现在分词。故填astonishing。
本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和兄弟去年去西藏旅行的见闻。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用，做题时要首先明确短文大意，从词语搭配，固定句型，语法，时态等方面综合考虑，结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

A British woman，Dr.Mantri，growing up in India started to notice his son，Dhruv，was struggling with simple arithmetic when he was in fifth-grade.After noticing this，she started employing an abacus （算盘） to help her son visually comprehend mathematics.
"I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 and he couldn't do it." said Dhruv's mom Dr.Mantri. "I decided to change the way he looked at numbers，" she said. "An abacus is a tried and tested method，and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid." In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become a whizz kid with numbers，with even his classmates' parents reaching out for help.
She never thought she would teach her son using an abacus，which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful.Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results.So dramatic was the turnaround，that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at an assembly，where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids.
IT specialist Dr.Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it's like a game. "It becomes a playing tool for younger children，for it feels like a game.I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them." She added.
By the age of 12，Dhruv was giving online cyber security seminars and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics.Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship （实习） at an international firm.During the four-year apprenticeship，he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. "He is so confident now and I am so proud，" she said，with Dhruv adding "I don't think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time."
4. Why did Dhruv have difficulty in learning mathematics？ ______
A. He was faced with language barrier.
B. He didn't find a proper way.
C. He suffered from eyesight problems.
D. He lacked academic support from the family.
5. What does the underlined word "whizz" in paragraph 2 mean？ ______
A. Careful. B. Diligent. C. Outstanding. D. Struggling.
6. Why do kids like learning on abacus according to the text？ ______
A. They find it appealing. B. They can calculate faster.
C. They enjoy playing games. D. They are eager for success.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph？ ______
A. Dhruv was addicted to the internet at 12.
B. Dhruv is teaching data science and analytics now.
C. Dhruv is a full-time student at Glasgow Caledonian University.
D. Dhruv's career choice was beyond his teachers' expectation.

The unusual day of February 29 comes up on the calendar only every four years.In American English，February 29 is called a leap day.And the entire 12-month period with a February 29 in it is called a leap year.The year 2020 is such a year.
As a verb，the word "leap" means to jump，or to move quickly. "Leap" can also be a noun，meaning a jump or a sudden move.In a leap year，the dates jump over one day of the week.In 2017，the last day of the year December 31，fell on a Sunday.In 2018，it fell on a Monday.In 2019，it fell on the Tuesday.But in 2020，December 31 will fall on a Thursday.It just leaps right over Wednesday. "Leap" is also an important word for two American expressions.One is a kind of warning.If you want someone to investigate a situation completely before taking action，you might say "look before you leap".The other expression is a phrase of hope.Urging someone to "take a leap of faith" invites the person to take action，even if not everything about a situation is known.
Interestingly，both phrases are completely reasonable to say to someone who is about to get married.
On that note，some people choose to many on February 29 because it is an unusual day.But some ancient people would likely tell couples not to do it.Leap years were believed to be difficult，and leap days were unlucky and a bad time to begin anything new.
Whatever you think about them，the changes in the calendar will be gone soon enough.Then we can return to normal，and leap over February 29 as usual.
8. If December 31，2121 is Wednesday，what day is December 31，2124？ ______
A. Thursday. B. Friday. C. Saturday. D. Sunday.
9. When can you use the phrase "take a leap of faith"？ ______
A. When you encourage someone to take action.
B. When you advise someone not to hold a wedding.
C. When you warn someone not to make a decision quickly.
D. When you want someone to investigate a situation carefully.
10. What did some ancient people think of leap days？ ______
A. They were good days to try new things.
B. They were normal days in leap years.
C. They were a bad time for getting married.
D. They were a good time for moving house.
11. What is the best title for the text？ ______
A. Lucky Days for Couples. B. Leap Days and Leap Years.
C. The Changes in the Calendar. D. The Importance of February 29.
D
According to a study done by University of Michigan，shopping to reduce stress was 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad than those only looking at items.
More than half of the 1，000 consumers surveyed by Credit Karma，head researcher of the study，said they have shopped to deal with feelings of stress or depression.About 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress shopping said they had purchased alcohol when stressed.About 82 percent of women spend on clothing compared to 52 percent of men.Women also lead shopping for jewellery，42 percent，compared to 22 percent for men.
In some sense，stress shopping can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered.The survey found 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood was long-lasting.However，stress shopping，for many，could grow into a drive that uses up money，causes conflict，and therefore adds great stress to life.
Despite the in-time joy from purchases，stress shopping never proves a long-lasting cure to stress or depression.Actually it needs to be avoided anyhow.Whether you're purchasing Christmas presents or buying groceries having the items you need written down will provide you with brightness while shopping.Reward yourself for sticking to your list and you'll be more likely to commit to it.
In addition always think about what you struggle with most financially.Do you spend too much money at the mall？Eating out？Vacations？Make a list of where your money is going and take necessary steps to resist your desire.For example，if you spend too much money on dining out on weekends，stuff your cupboard with food on Friday.So you'll be more likely to stay in and cook.And you need to give up the need to keep up with others.Everyone's financial situation is different and comparison may lead to debt and dissatisfaction with what you already have.
12. Why does the author mention those numbers in Paragraph 2？ ______
A. To support an idea. B. To attract readers.
C. To call for actions. D. To introduce a topic.
13. Which of the following may help deal with stress shopping？ ______
A. Stimulating desires. B. Recording spendings.
C. Turning to medicines. D. Comparing with others.
14. What is the author's attitude to stress shopping？ ______
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Negative.
15. What is a suitable title for the text？ ______
A. Does shopping benefit us？
B. More stressed，women or men？
C. Should we compare with others？
D. Can stress shopping reduce stress？
二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）
What exactly is the importance of teachers in the current educational landscape？The last few years have witnessed the rise of education technology and online tutoring firms. （1） Such people，however，have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.
The internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. （2） Knowing that 'tomato is a fruit' is information，and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom.This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day to day life.Books and the internet can give you information，but only a teacher can pass on wisdom. （3） Understanding the reason for the poor performance of a particular child and helping them overcome their weakness while also pushing the top performers to do better are things only a teacher can do.
You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing and interesting videos but it is never enough. （4） But videos are made for a general audience.They can hardly be sufficient for the problems that students face in their life outside the classroom.Only teachers who have spent time with their students can guide the students in a way that can help them figure a way out of any problem they might be facing in their life.
（5） While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article，these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.
A.Wisdom，however，is something that it badly lacks.
B.Every single student is unique in his or her own way.
C.Teachers are also important in shaping the future of the youth.
D.On this point，the importance of teachers should never be understated.
E.Everything people can possibly learn is freely available on the internet.
F.Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.
G.These are just two ways that teachers have a massive impact on their students.
16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G

"Is this all I got？"asked my daughter，Allison."I asked for a new cellphone!"
"What kind of birthday is this？"asked my son，Blake.
Blake and Allison are twins.Every year，I gave them birthday presents.But they always felt unhappy about not receiving something on their wish list.
I knew I had somewhat spoiled（宠坏） them，but I had no idea it was this bad.I was in shock.How self-centered and unappreciative could my children be？
I was determined to do something.
I found a family living on a farm that badly needed help.There were four children in the family aged from three to eight.I began to visit them every two months.
Soon，Allison and Blake's birthday was drawing near.I decided to introduce them to the new friends.One day，I woke the kids early and drove them to the farm.
When we arrived，I told my children to take two bags off the car，of which one was filled with food and the other with many boxes full of presents my children would never be satisfied with.
We were welcomed inside with smiles and appreciation.Obviously，Alison and Blake were shocked by what they saw.I could guess they had never expected people would live such a difficult life.
"Look!Presents for you."Allison was trying to make the kids happier.
With their parents' permission，the kids began to pick the boxes up，shake them，and guess what was inside.They were so excited.Allison and Blake encouraged the kids to open the boxes.They did.And there were shouts of surprise and joy：a model car，chocolate…then laughter.Then grateful hugs and sincere"thank-yous".
At first Alison and Blake looked confused but soon joined the children.Before long，they were laughing，too，proud that they brought happiness there.
On the way home，Alison and Blake were a little quiet.When it was time to go to bed that day，my kids hugged me and said，"Thank you，Mum."

阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意，因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料；其次细读题材，各个击破，掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性，对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准。

本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论压力购物是否能真的减轻压力。
一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

5. 下文While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article，these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.（虽然说明教师重要性的理由列表有点太长，不能放在一篇文章里，但这两种方法足以让那些认为去学校接受合适的教师教育很快就会过时的人噤声。）指出文章提到的这两种方法足以让那些认为去学校接受合适的教师教育很快就会过时的人噤声，因此空处应该引起下文，提到这两种方法，G项"这只是教师对学生产生巨大影响的两种方式。"符合语境，故选G。

【小题5】which
【小题6】by
【小题7】to admire
【小题8】description
【小题9】headed

（8）description.考查不可数名词。句意：它的美丽无法形容。此处应用名词作宾语，beyond description"无法形容，难以形容"，为固定表达。故填description。
（9）headed.考查时态。句意：我们住在大本营旁边的一家宾馆里，在放下行李后，我们径直走出去看珠穆朗玛峰。分析可知，空处和上文stayed是并列的谓语动词，也应用一般过去时。故填headed。
（10）astonishing.考查现在分词。句意：山顶直插云霄，以其难以置信的高度使我们吃惊。分析可知，逗号后部分是状语，空处应填非谓语动词，逻辑主语The tip of the mountain和astonish之间为主动关系，应用现在分词。故填astonishing。
本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和兄弟去年去西藏旅行的见闻。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用，做题时要首先明确短文大意，从词语搭配，固定句型，语法，时态等方面综合考虑，结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

解题方法点拨
（1）品读原文，确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
