　　名师点评

　　本篇是一个寓言故事，说的是一只牧羊犬，因为天冷，就睡在牧羊人给羊吃的干草上。结果，羊吃不着草，感到非常生气，他们认为狗太自私，自己又不能吃草，还不让能吃草的吃。

　　答案简析

　　B。从下文可知天是在下雪。

　　A。上文说天在下着大雪，所以地上应该被覆盖着“厚厚的”雪。

　　C。可能有同学会选go to the hill，但比较climb up the hill，后者更符合常理。意为“在这种天气下爬上山是很危险的。”

　　B。根据常理，羊在那儿也很难找到草。

　　D。天冷，牧羊人就想呆在温暖的房间里。英语里一般不用hot room。

　　C。后面是一个完整的句子，所以不可以用in order to或so as to。so that意为“以便”，后面得跟一个完整的句子。

　　A。全句意为“牧羊人把干草放在围栏里以便羊在饿的时候能吃”。

　　B。躺在软草上，用soft最恰当。

　　C。羊都很害怕狗。“三者以上的都”只有用all。

　　A。没有一只羊能接近它。

　　D。最终也只有最强壮的羊敢上前去。小的、弱的哪有这个胆量？

　　C。狗大声叫，是想警告羊。绝不是去问候它。

　　D。羊只好赶紧离开，其他副词都不妥当。

　　A。不敢去吃草，只好私下里很气愤地谈论。

　　D。本句可能有同学会选let，但注意后面有to eat ，没有let sb. to do sth的说法.，但是有allow sb to do sth.，意为“但还不允许能吃的去吃（草）。The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not IQ, a generally bad predictor of success.Instead, it’ s purposeful practice.Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’ d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’ t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or, shared the same birthday.

　　This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self.It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join.It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field.She’d be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.

　　Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and errorfocused. By practising in this way，she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors，pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems — how do I get characters into a room — dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.

　　The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’ s the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re “hardwired” to do. And it’s true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behavior.

　　Dear Sirs，

　　As a concerned parent, I am writing to protest your recent advertisement for ElectroRobo seen in local media in

　　California. Specifically, I am referring to newspaper and magazine ads (attached to this letter)published the week of November 15.

　　Children respond to your type of advertising in an immature way；that is, they are unable to understand how expensive some toys are for middleclass parents. Further, your product is violent in nature. Your advertisement gives children the impression that it’s fine to have“two guns and laser eyes. ”You also suggest that children need your toy to protect them“when you go outside. ”This is not a healthy attitude for children to have.

　　I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may harm our children.

　　Sincerely yours，

　　(Mrs.) Alma Hernandez　

　　President, Parents for Nonviolent Toys
