Ⅲ.阅读理解
Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays a pivotal role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward(不归路) and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care; they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others’ feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others’ face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same. We have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So_the_only_alternative_is_to_work_hard_today,_so_that_we_will_enjoy_a_better_tomorrow.
24.In the passage, the author compares life to ________.
A.a package B.joy and sorrow
C.failure and success
D.hope and despair
25.In which section can readers probably read the passage?
A.Opinions.

C.Education.
D.Lifestyles.
26.How is the passage organized?
A.In order of rules.
B.In order of frequency.
C.By making comparison.
D.In order of importance.
27.What’s the general meaning of the last sentence of the whole passage?
A.If you work hard, you’ll have a better life in the future.
B.When choosing between “today” and “tomorrow”, you’d better enjoy tomorrow.
C.What you only can choose is to work hard today rather than tomorrow.
D.Enjoying a better tomorrow is your only choice.

A.To encourage people to love each other.
B.To tell people how to deal with happiness and sorrow.

课时作业(二十七)
Ⅰ.1.C chances are that…为固定句型,意为“很有可能……”,that引导同位语从句。
2.C 本题考查动词短语辨析。contrary to表示“和(我们所害怕的)相反”。in line with成一直线;in defence of保卫;concerned about担心。
3.D 考查动词词义辨析。句意:临床证据开始增多,而这些证据表明,与之前在动物身上进行试验的预期(的效果)相比,这种新药可适用于更加广泛的有益的活动。strengthen加强;approve赞成;operate动手术,操作。根据语境只有D项“积累”符合语义表达。
4.B 本题考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知,题干为强调句型,被强调部分为what引导的主语从句。句意为:并非我们偶尔为之的事情塑造我们的生活,而是我们一贯之行造就我们的生活。
5.C 考查非谓语动词。此处为非谓语动词作主语,故用动名词结构。
6.C 考查动词辨析。句意为:那个外科医生在手术中展示了他的精湛的技能。A.“代表”;B.“指示”; C.“展示,演示”;D“陈列,展出”。
7.C 考查非谓语动词和be of+抽象名词结构。第一空为分词短语作原因状语,因与其逻辑主语Li Hua是被动关系,故用过去分词;根据“be of great importance=be very important”,可判断第二空可用of great importance或very important。
8.C 考查动词词义辨析。句意为:“就好像一个人穿什么,吃什么,以及和什么样的人交往能反映人的个性一样,一个人的住房也是如此。”要选一个表示“反映”的词,就是reflect .“resemble”=look like; “strengthen”表示“加强,巩固”;“shape”作动词表示“塑形”.
9.D 此空引导定语从句且在从句中作地点状语,故选D。
10.A 考查名词辨析,句意为:令居民们大为放松的是,除312个已证实的病例外,没有别人受H1H2的感染,relaxation意为“放松”,符合题意,disappointment意为“失望”,relief意为“(痛苦,负担等)缓和;轻松”;surprise意为“惊讶”。
11.C 考查日常交际用语。此处表示祝贺他人找到工作。
12.B 考查非谓语动词。句意为:据报道被告已经承认他抢了那位老太太的金项链。由句意可知,“承认”这个动作发生在“was reported”之前,故用不定式的完成式。
13.A 考查动词时态的用法。句意为“那个在孤零零的房子里独居了10年的老人现在已经搬进了养老院。”独居10年是过去的动作,和现在搬进养老院进行对比,所以使用一般过去时,故选A。
14.C 考查副词辨析。otherwise意为“否则,要不然”。句意为:她没有和拉斯金教授提自己的麻烦,要不然拉斯金教授或许能帮她。
15.A 考查句型be devoted to doing sth.专心致志于,献身于,忠于。可将题干理解为she is how devoted to defending the rights and dignity of women.

17.dealt 需要被处理的家庭杂事。deal with 对待,对付,处理。

26.C 文章结构题。考查短文是怎样组织的,从几个小标题Happiness and Sorrow ,Failure and Success 和Hope and Despair可以看出,作者使用的是“对比或比较”的方式写作的。
27.A 句意猜测题。句中alternative是“选择”的意思,整句意思和A项接近。
28.D 主旨大意题。推测作者写这篇文章的意图,A、B和C三项显然只涉及文中的部分内容,不能概括全文的目的,只有D项比较全面,体现了作者的意图。
