　　This was my grandmother’s first Christmas without grandfather,and before he passed away we had promised grandfather that we would make this her best Christmas ever.When my parents and I 　1　 at her house,we found she had waited up all night for us.The house did seem a little 　2　 without grandfather. 

　　Grandfather had always said that the Christmas 　3　 was the most important decoration of all.So we immediately set to work on the beautiful artificial tree that was stored in grandfather’s closet (壁橱).Through our efforts,we finally stepped back to 　4　 our handiwork.It looked beautiful.　5　 something was missing. 

　　“Where’s your star?” I asked.

　　The star was my grandmother’s favorite part of the tree.

　　“Why,it 　6　 be here somewhere,” she said,starting to sort through the boxes again.“Your grandfather always 　7　 everything so carefully when he took the tree down.” 

　　As we emptied the boxes and 　8　 no star,my grandmother’s eyes filled with tears.Grandfather had given it to grandmother some fifty years ago on their first Christmas together.It brought them great happiness.Now,on her first Christmas without him,the star was 　9　,too. 

　　“Don’t worry,Grandmother,” I 　10　 her.“We’ll find it for you.” 

　　My mother and I formed a search 　11　.“Let’s start in on the closet where the ornaments (装饰品) were,” Mother said.“Maybe the star just fell out of the box.” 

　　That sounded 　12　,so I began to search the closet.I thought I tried every 　13　,but no star.I could see grandmother was 　14　,although she tried not to show it. 

　　“What’s in this wrapped box?” Mother suddenly called out.“It was at the bottom of grandfather’s closet.”

　　Grandmother took the box in 　15　 and opened it.Her face 　16　 when she unfolded the paper and pulled out a golden star.There was a(n) 　17　 attached. 

　　Don’t be angry with me,dear.I broke your star while packing the decorations,and I couldn’t 　18　 to tell you.Though it was time for a new one.I hope it brings you as much 　19　 as the first one.Merry Christmas! 

　　Love,

　　Bryant

　　So grandmother’s tree had a star after all,a star that expressed their everlasting love for one another.And we were glad we were able to make this Christmas 　20　 for her.

　　(2015郑州高三第一次模拟)【社会文化类】

　　“A photograph that one has taken of oneself,typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website” is the definition of “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary.In fact,it wasn’t even in the dictionary until August of last year.It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对……痴迷) selfies—we take them when we try on a new hat,play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven’t seen in a while.

　　But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession?Well,you should probably ask James Kilner,a neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) at University College London.

　　Through our lifetime we become expert at recognizing and interpreting other people抯 faces and facial expressions.In contrast,according to Kilner,we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them ?we just t feel them most of the time.

　　This has been proved in previous studies,according to the BBC.

　　Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture.This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are.To further test how we actually perceive our own faces,Kilner carried out another study.He showed people different versions of their own portrait ?the original,one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive ?and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them.They chose the more attractive verlesion.

　　But what does it say about selfies?Well,isn’t that obvious?Selfies give us the power to create a photograph—by taking it from various angles,with different poses,using filters(滤色镜) and so on — that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.

　　“You suddenly have control in a way that you don’t have in non-virtual(非虚拟的) interactions,”Kilner told the Canada-based CTV News.“Selfies allow you to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you’re happy with,”he explained.

　　5.What is the passage mainly about?()

　　A.The definition and fun of taking selfies.

　　B.A study of why people love taking selfies.

　　C.How taking selfies influences people’s daily lives.

　　D.How to interpret people’s facial expressions in their selfies.

　　6.The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “　”. 

　　A.interpret B.beautify C.choose D.explain

　　7.What did Kilner discover from his researches?()

　　A.People interpret others’ facial expressions worse than their own.

　　B.People tend to spend more time looking at their faces than at others’.

　　C.People tend to believe they look more attractive than they actually are.

　　D.People who like taking selfies know more about their facial expressions.

　　8.According to Kilner,people like taking selfies probably because they think 　. 

　　A.it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces

　　B.it is a way to respond to others’ facial expressions correctly

　　C.it enables them to interact with their friends in social media

　　D.it allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearances

　　【长难句子分析】

　　So grandmother’s tree had a star after all,a star that expressed their everlasting love for one another.

　　本句是一个主从复合句。主句为“主谓宾”结构,后面的a star是前面的宾语a star的同位语,起进一步解释说明的作用,其中包含一个关系代词that引导的定语从句,修饰后面的a star,that在定语从句中作主语。

　　于是,外祖母的圣诞树终究有了星星,一颗表示他们永久相爱的星星。
