【主旨大意】本文是一篇议论文。通常情况下，当所有的活动以常规方式进行的时候就会变得无聊。最初的期待和信心也许会在很短的时间里消褪。这个规律对于各个年龄阶段的人都是一样的。文章通过几个事例说明了这一观点。
1．【答案】A
【解析】根据文章第一句可知，作者提出的是一般性的规律。而这一规律适合各个年龄段的人。principle 意为“原则；准则”；habit意为“习惯”；way意为“方法”；power意为“权力”。故选A项。
2．【答案】D
【解析】根据下文所提到的不同年龄段的事例，可以推断此空应为“年龄”。故选D项。
3．【答案】C
【解析】根据语境可知，圣诞节早上，孩子们应该是玩新玩具。play with 为固定搭配，意为“玩，玩弄”。故选C项。
4．【答案】B
【解析】根据语境可知，孩子们圣诞节早上在玩玩具，但很快这样的兴致就渐渐消褪了。confidence意为“信心”；interest意为“兴趣”；anxiety意为“焦虑”；sorrow意为“悲伤”。故选B项。
5．【答案】A
【解析】根据文章主旨和语境可以推断出，孩子们应该是对这些玩具失去了兴趣，玩具被放到了地下室中。故选A项。
6．【答案】D
【解析】根据文章主旨和本句前后逻辑关系可知，人们经常会留下一些放了一半邮票的集邮册和未完成的模型；另外根据并列连词and可知，其后应为与unfinished同类意义的词汇，故选halffilled(半充满的)。wellorganized意为“有条理的”；colorfullyprinted意为“彩印的”；newlycollected 意为“新收集的”。故选D项。
7．【答案】B
【解析】根据语境可知，人们常常因为失去兴趣而使一些事情半途而废，因此每一个没有完成的集邮册或者模型都是人们一时兴趣的证明。passing interest 意为“一时的兴趣”。故选B项。
8．【答案】C
【解析】根据文章主旨可知，人们对待新事物都是充满好奇心的。因此，孩子们应该是非常乐于给新宠物洗澡。故选C项。
9．【答案】B
【解析】根据语境可知，很短的时间内，孩子们就失去了对宠物的兴趣，对于宠物的照顾就变成了负担，并将这项负担转移到了父母那儿。故选B项。
10．【答案】D
【解析】根据常识可以推断，青少年对于读高中肯定是非常兴奋的。courage 意为“勇气”；calmness 意为“平静”；confusion意为“困惑”；excitement意为“兴奋”。故选D项。
11．【答案】A
【解析】根据文章主旨可知，这些青少年对高中生活的新鲜感会很快过去，之后就期盼毕业。故选A项。
12．【答案】C
【解析】根据下文中提到的抱怨开车上班，可以推断此空应该是成年人。故选C项。
13．【答案】B
【解析】根据文章主旨和语境可推断，人们拿到驾照的那一刻应该是急切地想要开车。carefully意为“小心地”；eagerly意为“急切地”；nervously意为“紧张地”；bravely意为“勇敢地”。故选B项。
14．【答案】B
【解析】根据语境可知，开车肯定要先获得驾照。require 意为“要求”；obtain意为“获得”；notice意为“注意”；discover意为“发现”。故选B项。
15．【答案】D
【解析】根据语境可知，此处是指人们在退休前对退休后的生活进行规划。故选D项。
16．【答案】A
【解析】根据语境可以推断，退休前的计划肯定是一些工作时一直渴望去做却无法实施的事情。对于他们来说一定是一些重要的或者是极好的事。故选A项。
17．【答案】A
【解析】人们在工作时与退休后相比，工作的时候缺少的不会是钱、技术和知识，而应该是时间。故选A项。
18．【答案】D
【解析】根据文章主旨可以推断，退休后不久，人们对一些消遣活动的兴趣便很快消褪了。故选D项。
19．【答案】C
【解析】根据语境，此空应该是指人们退休后不再做的工作。lose意为“失去”；choose意为“选择”；leave意为“离开”；quit 意为“辞职”。故选C项。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2015课标全国，A)
My color television has given me nothing but a headache.I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventyfive dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed_off for the night.Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing allnight movies or I would never have gotten to bed.
Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise.For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds.Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound.I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.
When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether.My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.
()1.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?
A．He got an older model than he had expected.
B．He couldn't return it when it was broken.
C．He could have bought it at a lower price.
D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.
()2.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?
A．ended all their programs B．provided fewer channels
C．changed to commercialsD．showed allnight movies
()3.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?
A．By shaking and hitting it.B．By turning it on and off.
C．By switching channels.D．By having it repaired.
()4.How does the author sound when telling the story?
A．Curious.
B．Anxious.
C．Cautious.
D．Humorous.
【主旨大意】本文讲述了 “我”在购买彩电时受售货员的误导，买了一台自认为便宜的彩电，结果不久，故障频发，在采用包括抱起电视晃动在内的方式解决无果后，最后不得不求助维修店。
1．【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第四句“…when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventyfive dollars less than I had paid.”可知，当看到报纸广告上这款电视机的价格更低的时候，“我”感觉上当了。故选C项。
2．【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。此处描述的是彩电刚买回来时，性能非常好以至于晚上常常到电视台停止播放节目，“我”才关上电视。由此可以看出，画线短语意为“停止广播”。下一句“Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing allnight movies or I would never have gotten to bed.”也对此做了解释，故选A项。
3．【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now…”可知，作者花费62美元才修好电视，故选D项。A项是在作者维修电视之前所采用的办法，而不是最后的方法，故为干扰项。
4．【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中最后一句“Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing allnight movies or I would never have gotten to bed.”以及倒数第二段最后一句“I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.”和最后一段最后一句“…but I keep expecting more trouble.”可知，作者语调幽默，故选D项。

One possible version：
Dear_Wang_Lei，
I've_read_your_blog_and_understand_your_situation.As_your_best_friend,_now_I'd_like_to_offer_you_some_advice.
First of all, you should have enough sleep at night because staying up too late is bad for your health.Second, it doesn't make sense to compare yourself with others in class because everyone is different from others physically and mentally.More importantly, it is beneficial to develop a positive attitude towards life.Although we attach importance to the College Entrance Examination, it is equally significant to improve our overall qualities.Therefore you should take regular exercise in order to keep fit.I know you are learning under great pressure especially when the College Entrance Examination is drawing near.Only by relieving stress and pressure properly can you make full use of your time and achieve your goal.It's normal to experience anxieties which motivate us to move forward instead of dragging us down.Just believe in yourself that you can make it.
I do hope my advice will be of a little help to you and improve your learning.
Yours,_
Li_Hua
