.阅读理解(建议用时7′)
Once there was a young woman who didn’t like her job.Everyday when she came home from work，she told her husband how terrible her day had been，how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss.“Leave that job，” her husband told her.
“Oh，I will，” she said.“But not yet.I have too many friends there for me to leave.”And so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children.“Leave that job，” her grandchildren told her.“Oh，I will，”she said.“But not yet.There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire.So I can’t just yet.”
I know this woman.And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on a porch of a general store，moaning and groaning in the sun.“Why is your dog acting that way？” a customer asked the store owner.“Oh，” answered the man，“He’s lying on a nail.” “Well，why doesn’t he move？”“Because it’s not hurting him bad enough.”
That’s true for people，too.We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know.But we’re wrong.Prolonged work pain is continuing.Some work pain damages our selfesteem，kills our passion or destroys our dreams.
Wilbur Wright once commented，“We could hardly wait to get up in the morning.I know that exhilarating feeling of being so passionate about something I was working on that I couldn’t wait to get back to work.And people who are winning at working know that kind of passion，too.”
They get excited about work.They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly.And when things don’t change as they sometimes will，they refuse to let environment hijack their selfesteem，passion or dreams.
36．The woman complained to her husband every day because ________.
A．she didn’t have enough money to support her family
B．her boss criticized her for what she had done
C．she was not satisfied with her job at all

37．From the second paragraph we can know that the woman ________.
A．liked making friends with others
B．loved all of her children very much
C．left her tiring job at last
D．did exactly the same job all along
38．The author mentioned the old dog in order to tell us that ________.
A．it was deeply hurt by its owner
B．the woman is like the dog on the nail
C．it is tied firmly to a nail by its owner
D．it should be injured badly enough
39．The underlined word “Prolonged” (in Paragraph 4) means ________.
A．lasting
B．slight
C．serious
D．hard
40．People who are getting along well with their work ________.
A．have to get up early every day
B．are not willing to go to work
C．need more unique gifts and talentsD．are likely to change with the situation.单项填空1．A [with＋宾语＋宾补，作原因状语。]

得分策略
[经典例题] With his work ________ on time，he felt very excited. A．to be finished
B．to finish
C．finishing
D．finished
错因分析 许多考生会认为“工作”与“完成”之间为动宾关系，从而误选A项。其实，不定式表示要做的事情，而过去分词表示已经完成的事情。根据句子语境可知，工作已经完成，故选D项。
[得分笔记] 在“with ＋ n．＋非谓语动词”结构中，非谓语动词可以是不定式、动词ing形式、动词ed形式等。不定式主动形式表被动意义，暗含将要做的事情；动词ing形式表示名词(宾语)发出的动作(主动)；动词ed形式表示名词(宾语)承受的动作(被动)，暗含过去已经完成。.完形填空16．C [由第一空后面的an educator and health care provider可知，前面缺少表示“作为”的介词来连接后面的双重职业身份，因此用as。]
17．D [从下文可知，“我”特别了解到了Tyler这个弱小的家伙身上有着巨大的勇气(courage)。]
18．B [be born infected with HIV表示“出生时携带HIV”，从后半句his mother was also infected和后一句可以推知答案选B。]
19．B [从上文提示可知，他依赖药物治疗，这使他能(enable)活下去。]
20．A [从该句中的oxygen(氧气)可知，他需要额外的氧气来支持他的呼吸(breathing)，其他选项不符合语境。]
21．B [根据下文语意可知，Tyler不愿意放弃他童年的快乐时光，此处语意表示他的心理状态，用be not willing to不乐意，不愿意，符合语境。]
22．B [所以“我们”经常(not unusual)可以看出Tyler背着装满药物的背包，后面小车中拖着(drag)氧气瓶，在后院玩耍、跑步。]
23．A [参见22题解析。从常识可知，车在后面，应该是拖着(drag)，而不是carry“携带”；push推；take带走。]
24．B [从上下文可知，“我们”都对Tyler的那种努力活下去的纯真快乐(joy)印象深刻。]
25．C [从常识判断，他母亲也是苦中作乐，常取笑(tease)他，告诉他跑得太快(fast)了，以致于他需要穿红色衣服，以便她透过窗户看他的时候能够很快发现(spot)他。]
26．D [参见25题解析。slowly和happily不符合语境，quickly强调动作迅速、敏捷，而fast则强调速度快。]
27．B [参见25题解析。spot在这里表示“发现，看见”。]
28．C [从上下文可知，这致命的病最终消耗了Tyler的生命。wear down(使)消耗，损耗；break down作“垮掉”讲时应表达为Tyler’s health broke down。]
29．B [此处是so引起的倒装结构，表示“他感染了HIV的母亲也如此”。]
30．A [apparent明显的，显然的；hopeless无望的；sure跟从句时不能是it作主语；terrible可怕的，糟糕的。语境表示“很明显Tyler活不了了”。]
31．D [他母亲跟他聊起了死亡(death)的话题。由后面一句可知答案选D项。]
32．C [他死前几天示意(sign)“我”到他病床边。]
33．A [由常识判断，他濒临死亡，肯定很虚弱，只能轻轻地对“我”说(whisper)。]
34．C [Tyler说他不害怕(scared)死亡，但他死后，要给他穿红色(red)衣服，这样在天堂他母亲就能很容易地认出他来。根据语境选C项。]

完形填空试题做完后，有没有必要逐空检查？
只需要对自己觉得模棱两可的选项仔细推敲，对于完形填空题的检查问题，可从以下几方面核查：语法、惯用法对不对；是否符合上下文的逻辑；是否符合科学道理；是否符合故事情节的发展；是否符合文章的主题、作者的态度和意图。
另外，万一有个别空格实在无法确定，千万不要空着不填，应根据语境和上下文推测此空所要填的词。.阅读理解36．C [细节推断题。根据第一段中的“Everyday when she came home...”可知，她对自己的工作很不满意。]
37．D [推理判断题。根据第一段中的内容以及第二段中的“...until the years became decades...There are only seven more years...”等信息可知，她一直没有换工作。]
38．B [细节理解题。联系全文的语境，再根据第三段对狗的情况的描述可知，文中提到的这位年轻女士和这里描述的狗的情况是一样的，由此推知B为正确答案。]
39．A [词义猜测题。根据上下文的意思可知，该词的意思是“持久的”。]
40．D [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“And when things don’t change as they sometimes will...”可知，这些人工作顺利，是因为他们能随着环境的变化而作出改变。]

面对较难的阅读材料，该如何下手？(一)
阅读材料难的阅读理解，其题目设置往往不难。
首先，碰到阅读材料太难的文章，考生应采用先看题后阅读全文的方法。把所有的题目了解之后，考生就能够大概了解全文的内容和考查的问题了，然后带着问题去原文中找答案。
其次，要认真理解首段和尾段，因为文章的主题思想往往在开头部分或文章结尾总结时提出。最后，抓住关键词汇来确定作者的语气和态度。作者的语气和态度总是要通过词汇来明确表达或暗示出来的。
