 课时作业(四十)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

[2017·广西贵阳一中月考]

Are you the type of person who always says “yes”？ I've come to learn that it is very important to learn to say NO! It's okay.People are still going to like you.They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.

I don't intend to make you say “no”  to someone who really needs your help.I'm talking about refusing that meeting which you really do not want to attend or that birthday party which you don't want to be a guest at.

Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don't want to do.If you're like I once was，you can't sleep at night and you think about it too much.

It weighs on your mind.You try to find ways out.Whatever you're saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn't have all of these thoughts.

So，why not just say NO from the beginning? Maybe you feel like if you don't show up at the meeting (by the way，it is not one you must attend)，your boss isn't going to like you or your coworkers won't respect you.Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won't love you as much if you don't do everything for them that they ask every occasion.

If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what.People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you're someone who always says “yes”，then that's what they're expecting.

You need to do what is right for you.Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.

1．Which statement do you think the writer would agree with?

A．Always saying “yes” means you are dishonest.

B．Always saying “no” means you are brave.

C．We should help others in need.

D．We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.

2．The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.

A．something you're unwilling to do

B．saying “yes”

C．something you think difficult to do

D．a friend's birthday party

3．Through the passage，if you say “no” to your family members，you'll ________.

A．have a loose relationship with them

B．have the same relationship with them as before

C．upset them

D．disappoint them

答案：[解题导语]作者主张对于那些自己极不愿意参加的活动，要大胆拒绝，不要为难自己。

1．C　解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句I don't intend to make you say “no” to someone who really needs your help.可知，作者所说的大胆说“不”并非针对那些真正需要你帮助的人，即作者也支持帮助那些真正需要帮助的人。故选C项。

2．A　解析：词义猜测题。结合上一段内容可知，此处是讲自己答应做自己根本就不愿意做的事情而带来的烦恼，由此可推测，it指代“自己不愿意做的事”。故选A项。

3．B　解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段第一句．..they will like or love you the same no matter what.可知，即使对你的家人说“不”，家人也还是会一样爱你的。故选B项。

答案：[解题导语]在作者每天收到的成千上万封信件中，忧虑是最经常被提及的话题。本文通过几条谚语来说明如何应对内心的恐惧和忧虑。

1．A　解析：根据语境可知，作者给出的几条谚语都是有助于战胜忧虑的。gain意为“获得”，符合语境。

2．B　解析：根据第20空后的a confident approach to your anxiety可知选B项。此处为原词重现。句意：因此我们能够自信地说：“爱和感激是我们的助手；我将不会害怕；其他人能对我做什么？”

3．C　解析：此处承接上文，呼吁人们要心中有爱，懂得感恩。这样，别人就不能真正地伤害你了。此处指精神和身体上的“伤害”。故选C项。

4．D　解析：根据设空前的We do not stand alone in this world...及Fill your mind with thoughts of love and appreciation可知，此处指与别人和睦相处。故选D项。get in harmony with...意为“与……和谐相处”，为固定短语。

5．B　解析：根据第4空前的Fill your mind with thoughts of love and appreciation...可知，此处指消除与爱相对立的情感。equal意为“相同的；同等的”；contrary意为“相反的；对立的”；familiar意为“熟悉的”；similar意为“相似的”。故选B项。

6．D　解析：此处承接上一句Practice thinking less about your worries and more about love.由此可知，此处是建议不要想你的问题有多难(difficult)，而是要想爱的力量有多大。故选D项。unfair意为“不公平的”；different意为“不同的”；strange意为“奇怪的”。

7．A　解析：句意：这样做就会改变你的态度，不仅如此，这样做还会把精神的力量传递到你的心灵深处。more than意为“不仅，不只是”，符合语境。rather than意为“而不是”；less than意为“不足；少于”；better than意为“比……好”，均不符合语境。

8．A　解析：根据设空后的．..meet your situations brightly and creatively可知，此处指这样的人生观能够(enable)使你自信且有创意地去面对各种各样的问题。故选A项。order意为“命令；订购”；urge意为“迫使”；push意为“推”。

10．D　解析：由语境可知，后半句与前半句Have no anxiety about anything...形成转折关系。句意：不要担心任何事情，而是对一切事情(everything)都怀一颗感恩的心。故选D项。

11．B　解析：句意：包含在这句格言中的方法是用爱和感激驱走焦虑。此处呼应前文的worries和problem，故选B项。根据上一段最后一句的谚语也可知答案。sorrow意为“悲痛；不幸”；regret意为“遗憾”；taboo意为“禁忌；忌讳”。

12．C　解析：根据本段第一句中的．..casting out__11__is to love and to appreciate及本段最后．..thus expressing your appreciation to life.可知，此处指不要情绪化地去思考问题。stop doing sth.意为“停止做某事”，符合语境。remember意为“记得”；enjoy意为“喜欢；享受”；warn意为“警告”，均不符合语境。

13．A　解析：根据全文主旨及本段中的．..to love and to appreciate可知，此处指让爱把你从恐惧中解放出来。relieve意为“缓解；解除”，符合语境。accuse意为“指责”；remind意为“提醒；使想起”；inform意为“通知”。

15．B　解析：根据第一段中的The following sayings及设空后引号内的话可知，此处指另一条谚语(saying)。故选B项。

16．A　解析：根据设空后的．..you will have only superficial sleep...及．..anxieties are disturbing you in the deep minds可知，这样的睡觉方式是因为大脑中“充斥着”恐惧。filled with意为“充满……的”，在句中作定语，修饰mind。covered意为“被覆盖的；被包含的”；disappointed意为“失望的”；bored意为“无聊的”。

17．B　解析：根据设空后的．..in the deep minds.可知，此处指“表面下的内心深处”。故选B项。

18．D　解析：根据语境，“对自己说这句谚语”发生在“睡觉”之前，故用before引导时间状语从句。句意：每天晚上睡觉前，你可以对自己说这句谚语。

19．C　解析：此处呼应上一段的fearful thoughts，故选C项。

20．B　解析：文章最后一句呼应第一段，总结全文。句意：然后，取代你内心的恐惧，爱和感激将发展成为一种自信的应对你内心焦虑的方式。require意为“需求；要求”；develop意为“发展；培养；养成”；advocate意为“主张”；allocate意为“分配；分派”。根据语境可知选B项。

Ⅲ.语法填空

[2017·辽宁沈阳教学质量检测]

Hardly can you succeed 1.________doing something perfectly the first time you do it.2.________when you do something for the first time，it is time to give up the idea of perfection.

I remember the first time I 3.________(drive)  a car in traffic after getting my driver's license.I was very nervous in that heavy traffic－my driving style showed that I wasn't a very confident driver.Now I'm much more 4.________(experience) as a driver.5.________I still don't consider myself a perfect one，I'm much more confident behind the wheel than 6.________I was when I started.

In general,7.________is useless to work hard for doing something perfectly when you do it for the first time.You are setting the bar so high that you just feel bad when you are 8.________(able)to meet the level you have set.

Also，perfection is just another way 9.________(delay)，so trying to be perfect is just 10.________waste of time.You should work hard for excellence instead.

答案：[解题导语]本文利用自己的经历来说明第一次做某事的时候不要追求完美，追求完美不仅会耽误事情，也会浪费时间。

1．in　解析：考查介词。句意：第一次做某件事的时候是几乎不可能做到完美的。succeed in doing sth.意为“成功做某事”，为固定搭配，故填in。

2．Therefore/Thus　解析：考查副词。句意：因此，当你第一次做某事的时候，也就是你要放弃完美的时候。根据两个句子之间的关系可知，此处应是表示结果的副词，又因为空格后面的标点符号是逗号，故填Therefore或Thus。

3．drove　解析：考查动词的时态。句意：我记得在我拿到驾照后第一次开车。句中的the first time引导的时间状语从句描述的是过去发生的事情，所以要用一般过去时，故填drove。

4．experienced　解析：考查词性转换。句意：现在我开车熟练多了。分析句子结构可知，此处应是形容词作表语。故填experienced。

5．Though/Although/While　解析：考查连词。句意：虽然我现在仍然认为自己不完美，但是现在比刚开始开车的时候自信了很多。句子前后两部分是转折关系，所以此处应填引导让步状语从句的连词，故填Though/Although/While。

6．what　解析：考查表语从句。句意见上一题解析。根据句子结构及句意可知than后面的句子中缺少表语，故填连接代词what。

7．it　解析：考查代词。句意：通常情况下，当你第一次做某事时，努力要做到完美是没有用的。It is useless to do sth.意为“做某事是没有用的”，为固定句型，it是形式主语，后面的动词不定式是真正的主语，故填it。

8．unable　解析：考查词形转换。句意：你设定的目标太高，以至于当你不能达到这一标准时，你会感到难过。根据句意可知，此处应该是表示否定的意思，所以要用able的反义词，故填unable。

9．to delay　解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：而且，完美是另外一种耽误时间的方式。way意为“方式，方法”时，后面常用动词不定式作定语，故填to delay。

10．a　解析：考查冠词。句意：……所以，努力想要达到完美只是浪费时间。a waste of time意为“浪费时间”，为固定搭配，故填a。

Ⅳ.短文改错

 There was a rich man who carried many treasures to the distance to look into happiness.But after a long march，he fails to find happiness.Annoyed，he sat by a path of a mountain while a farmer carrying a large bunch of firewood came down from the mountain.The rich man said，“I'm a wealth man.Can you tell me that why I'm unhappy？” The farmer put down the heavy firewood，wiped the sweat pleasant and said，“Happiness is very simple: put down and you'll be happy！”The rich man inspired suddenly.Anxious and tiring all day，he carried that heavy jewelry，afraid of being robbed or murdered.How could you be happy?

答案：One possible version：

Cellphones, Social or Anti­social?

Cellphones, which are now universally recognized as a must, have greatly impacted us. But using our cellphones can have both a social and anti­social effect.

We are being social when we are using our cellphones to connect with others and plan social events. We may be anti­social when we use our cellphones in front of other people.Most people do not realize they are being anti­social when they are using their cellphones around others.Although cellphones can bring us great convenience, we should be wise enough to use them. Anyway, they are invented to make us social, not to keep us away from others.
