【分析】短文主要写了中国是世界上吃西瓜最多的国家，原因是中国是世界上最大的西瓜生产国和消费国，而且价格相对较低。此外，中国的土地面积较大，适宜种植西瓜。而一些国家由于种植西瓜较晚，当地人更喜欢其他水果。此外，一些外国的西瓜口感可能不好。而中国的科学家吴明珠通过努力改良种植技术，使得我们能够享受到更美味、更便宜的西瓜。
【解答】（1）细节推理题。根据上文It's nt because freigners dn't like watermelns but "they can't affrd them" D yu knw why？（不是因为外国人不喜欢西瓜而是"他们买不起"？你知道为什么吗？）可知询问外国人为什么买不起西瓜，结合选项，应说那是因为在大多数国家它们太贵了。故选D。
（2）细节推理题。根据上文It's reprted that a kil f US watermeln is abut ＄6.91 in New Yrk，which is abut ￥46 in China.（据报道，一公斤美国西瓜在纽约售价约为6.91美元，在中国售价约为46元。）可知说的是美国的西瓜价格昂贵，结合选项，应说西瓜在日本和韩国也因价格昂贵而出名。故选F。
（3）细节推理题。根据下文And the weather is just right fr planting watermelns.With the large utput（产量），the price is naturally much lwer.（而且天气正好适合种西瓜。产量大了，价格自然要低得多。）可知说的是天气正好适合种西瓜以及产量大，结合选项，应说首先，中国的土地面积很大。故选A。
（4）细节推理题。根据上文The lcal peple prefer ther fruits that were knwn earlier t watermelns.（当地人更喜欢其他更早知道的水果，而不是西瓜。）可知说的是当地人更喜欢其他更早知道的水果，结合选项，应说因此，西瓜不如其他水果受欢迎。故选C。
（5）细节推理题。根据上文Thirdly，accrding t sme reprts，watermelns frm freign cuntries may nt taste gd.（第三，根据一些报道，来自外国的西瓜可能味道不好。）可知说的是来自外国的西瓜可能味道不好，结合选项，应说然而，在中国，我们很少吃味道不好的西瓜。故选E。

【分析】短文主要讲了作曲家肖邦创作的一首钢琴曲《前奏曲第15号》，这首曲子因其像雨滴一样的音符而被昵称为"雨滴前奏曲"。
【解答】（1）考查名词。句意：他为钢琴创作了二十四首名为前奏曲的短曲。piece"首"，可数名词，twenty﹣fur后面加可数名词复数。故填 ：pieces。
（2）考查动词。句意：最长的一首《第15号前奏曲》因其昵称"雨滴前奏曲"而更为人所知。固定短语be knwn by"被…….所熟知"，固定短语。故填：knwn。
（3）考查动词。句意：当他在等待桑德的时候，他写了第15号前奏曲。主句he wrte Prelude n.15.是一般过去时，while引导的时间状语从句应用过去进行时，he做主语，要用was+动词ing。故填：was waiting。
（4）考查代词。句意：当桑德回来时，肖邦为她演奏了音乐。play动词，后面加代词宾格，she的宾格是her"她"。故填：her。
（5）考查动词。句意：她让肖邦听雨点落在屋顶上的声音。固定句式let sb d sth"让某人做某事"，固定用法。故填：listen。

（他坚持说他从来没有注意过那些声音，也没有抄袭过它们。）语境可知肖邦很不高兴，unhappy"不高兴的"，make sb+形容词，使某人……。故填：unhappy。
（7）考查动词。句意：这让肖邦很不高兴。他坚持说他从来没有注意过那些声音，也没有抄袭过它们。根据上下文语境可知，句子应用一般过去时，故动词应用过去式。故填：cpied。
（8）考查副词。句意：这首曲子开始时很轻柔，但声音越来越大，就像雨越下越大。根据句子结构可知，空处的词是修饰动词，故应用副词sftly"轻柔地"。故填：sftly。
（9）考查连词。句意：这首曲子开始时很轻柔，但声音越来越大，就像雨越下越大。前句The piece starts （8）（sft），（这首曲子开始时很轻柔，）和后句it gets luder，like rain getting heavier.（声音越来越大，就像雨越下越大。）可知，空处表示转折，故应用but"但是"。故填：but。
（10）考查动词。句意：然后音乐变得很安静，最后结束，就像雨停了一样。根据空后句like rain when it stps时态可知，空处所在的句子也应用一般现在时，主语music是第三人称单数，故动词要用第三人称单数。故填：ends。
【点评】语法填空题要根据上下文语境，运用语法和词汇知识，反复推敲以求得解答。对于同义词和近义词的选项，在充分考虑到上下文具体语境下特别注意这些同义词和近义词搭配。

（8分）Scientists wh study happiness have evidence （证据） t shw that being kind t thers can result in happiness.Acts as simple as buying a cup f cffee fr smene can lift a persn's md，fr example.Everyday life is full f chances fr such actins，yet peple d nt always make the mst f them.
In studies，behaviral scientist Nichlas Epley and I examined a pssible explanatin：peple wh d kind acts underestimate （低估） hw much the nes receiving kindness value their behavir.
In the experiments （实验），abut 1 ，000 peple were asked t d sme actins t make smene else feel gd，We asked bth the persn perfrming （执行） the kind act and the ne receiving it t answer sme questins.The perfrmers were asked t reprt their wn experience and t guess hw the receivers might feel，We wanted t understand hw valuable peple cnsidered these acts t be，s bth the perfrmer and receiver had t rate （评分） hw "big" the act seemed.In all cases，we cmpared the perfrmer's expectatins f the receiver's md with the receiver's actual （实际的） experience.
Fr ne，bth perfrmers and receivers experienced mre psitive （积极的） mds.Fr anther，the receivers felt much better than the kind perfrmers expected.The receivers als rated these acts as "bigger" than the peple perfrming them did.
At first，we studied acts f the kindness dne fr familiar peple，such as friends，classmates r family.But we fund that perfrmers underestimated their psitive influences n strangers as well.In ne experiment，perfrmers in a public park gave away ht chclate n a cld winter's day t peple that just happened t be nearby.Again，the kind act brught mre happiness than the perfrmers expected.
These findings suggest that what might seem small culd matter a great deal t the persn we d it fr.Cnsidering these warm actins can imprve ur wn md and brighten the day f anther persn，why nt chse kindness when we can？

【分析】短文主要讲了作曲家肖邦创作的一首钢琴曲《前奏曲第15号》，这首曲子因其像雨滴一样的音符而被昵称为"雨滴前奏曲"。
【解答】（1）考查名词。句意：他为钢琴创作了二十四首名为前奏曲的短曲。piece"首"，可数名词，twenty﹣fur后面加可数名词复数。故填 ：pieces。
（2）考查动词。句意：最长的一首《第15号前奏曲》因其昵称"雨滴前奏曲"而更为人所知。固定短语be knwn by"被…….所熟知"，固定短语。故填：knwn。
（3）考查动词。句意：当他在等待桑德的时候，他写了第15号前奏曲。主句he wrte Prelude n.15.是一般过去时，while引导的时间状语从句应用过去进行时，he做主语，要用was+动词ing。故填：was waiting。
（4）考查代词。句意：当桑德回来时，肖邦为她演奏了音乐。play动词，后面加代词宾格，she的宾格是her"她"。故填：her。
（5）考查动词。句意：她让肖邦听雨点落在屋顶上的声音。固定句式let sb d sth"让某人做某事"，固定用法。故填：listen。
（6）考查形容词。句意：这让肖邦很不高兴。他坚持说他从来没有注意过那些声音，也没有抄袭过它们。根据后句He insisted that he never paid attentin t thse sunds r （7）（cpy） them.
（他坚持说他从来没有注意过那些声音，也没有抄袭过它们。）语境可知肖邦很不高兴，unhappy"不高兴的"，make sb+形容词，使某人……。故填：unhappy。
（7）考查动词。句意：这让肖邦很不高兴。他坚持说他从来没有注意过那些声音，也没有抄袭过它们。根据上下文语境可知，句子应用一般过去时，故动词应用过去式。故填：cpied。
（8）考查副词。句意：这首曲子开始时很轻柔，但声音越来越大，就像雨越下越大。根据句子结构可知，空处的词是修饰动词，故应用副词sftly"轻柔地"。故填：sftly。
（9）考查连词。句意：这首曲子开始时很轻柔，但声音越来越大，就像雨越下越大。前句The piece starts （8）（sft），（这首曲子开始时很轻柔，）和后句it gets luder，like rain getting heavier.（声音越来越大，就像雨越下越大。）可知，空处表示转折，故应用but"但是"。故填：but。
（10）考查动词。句意：然后音乐变得很安静，最后结束，就像雨停了一样。根据空后句like rain when it stps时态可知，空处所在的句子也应用一般现在时，主语music是第三人称单数，故动词要用第三人称单数。故填：ends。
【点评】语法填空题要根据上下文语境，运用语法和词汇知识，反复推敲以求得解答。对于同义词和近义词的选项，在充分考虑到上下文具体语境下特别注意这些同义词和近义词搭配。
