　　There was once a young man who,after some small achievements,began to feel self-satisfied.

　　One day,the young man took a walk with a wise man from the town.On the way the young man was bragging(吹牛) about himself,　1　 the wise man didn’t say a word. 

　　“Look downward,what do you see?”asked the wise man once they got to 　2　 peak. 

　　“I see trees,farmland,houses and people as small as ants 　3　(work) in the fields,”the young man said. 

　　“What do you feel?”the wise man asked.

　　“Everything is below me.I feel like I rule the Earth.”The young man answered.The wise man said 　4　.But he seemed 　5　(think) about something.After a minute,then he asked the young man to look up.“What do you see this time?”the wise man asked. 

　　“I see birds flying around high mountains,the white clouds on the mountains and the blue sky above the white clouds,”the young man answered.

　　Then he asked the wise man’s 　6　(feel). 

　　“I feel small and 　7　(power),”the wise man answered.“A person who knows to look upward can clearly understand his position.A person who knows the blue sky is always overhead won’t be 　8　 foolish as to believe he rule over the Earth or any other people.” 

　　The young man felt 　9　 (shame) of himself.From then on,　10　 he began to feel as if the world owed him something,he looked up at the sky and remembered how small he really was. 

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解【说理议论类】

　　Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind.According to a recent survey,sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy.Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness.It is not predictable,nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy.The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.

　　A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness.Though both may contribute,they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.

　　The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes.People with college education are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school,and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives.Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.

　　Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain.Learning to handle a health problem can contribute to happiness.Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than those who live alone.Love has a closer relationship with happiness than any other factor.

　　It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have,and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.

　　Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods,but are not necessarily happier adults.

　　The best rule for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble),to have a personal involvement and commitment,and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.

　　1.It can be inferred from the passage that 　. 

　　A.happiness is neither predictable nor apparent

　　B.a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happy

　　C.the rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group

　　D.happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation in society

　　2.According to the article,happiness is greatly dependent upon 　. 

　　A.a happy childhood in which one can do whatever he likes

　　B.great wealth with which one can buy anything

　　C.a feeling that conditions are becoming better

　　D.a college degree that can help one achieve great success

　　3.The letters AQ in the last paragraph most probably mean 　. 

　　A.ambition to defeat others in a severe competition

　　B.ability to overcome difficulty and get out of embarrassing situation　

　　C.methods of solving difficult problems and challenges in life

　　D.attitudes towards severe competition especially in trouble

　　4.The best title of this passage may be 　. 

　　A.What Does Happiness Consist in B.Happiness and Unhappiness

　　C.Different Kinds of Happiness D.Causes of Happiness and Unhappiness

　　Then suddenly I saw a little girl in the hospital,who was 　3　 from a critical disease and needed blood from her six-year-old brother.Yes,from her younger brother,why?

　　I felt 　13　,when that young boy,　14　 the fact of blood donation,got ready to give his blood,thinking that he will lose his life but save his sister’s life.And I,being a mature person,know that this will not 　15　 my life.I certainly will not lose my life,　16　 save others’ lives.However,I was hesitant of doing this. 

　　That moment 　17　 my thoughts and I became enthusiastic about doing this important duty and felt that true 　18　 by helping save that little girl’s life.

　　活页综合提升练(五)

　　Ⅰ.语法填空

　　语篇解读:一位智者用自己独特的方法使一个骄傲自满的年轻人学会了如何定位自己。

　　1.but/while　考查连词的用法。那个年轻人在自吹,而那个智者却不语,前后为转折关系,故用but/while。

　　2.a　考查冠词的用法。此处不定冠词a表示泛指。

　　3.working　考查非谓语动词的用法。此处working in the fields在句中作定语,修饰people。

　　4.nothing　考查代词的用法。由语境可知,听了年轻人的回答,智者什么也没说,故用nothing。

　　5.to be thinking　考查非谓语动词的用法。seem的主语为sb.时,seem后接to do不定式,由语境可知此处应用不定式的进行式to be thinking。

　　6.feelings　考查名词的用法。由空格前面的所有格man’s可知此处应用名词,且feeling表示“感觉,感情”时常用作复数。

　　7.powerless　考查派生词的用法。由句意可知,智者说自己感觉渺小无力,故用形容词powerless。

　　8.so　考查副词的用法。“so+adj./adv.+as to do sth.”为固定句型,意为“如此……以至于……”。

　　9.ashamed　考查形容词的用法。feel ashamed of...意为“为……感到羞愧”,为固定搭配。

　　10.whenever　考查连词的用法。此处whenever引导状语从句,且在从句中作时间状语。

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　语篇解读:幸福是一种积极的情绪和愉快的心态。那么,幸福的最佳原则是什么呢?

　　1.D　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It is not predictable,nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy.The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings”可知A、B项错误,D项为推断得出的信息;C项可从第三段第一句直接获得信息。

　　2.C　细节理解题。根据第五段“It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have,and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.”可知,答案为C项。

　　3.B　猜测词义题。根据AQ后面括号中的内容“Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble”可知,AQ指的是“面对逆境时的处理能力”,所以答案为B项。

　　4.B　主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,答案为B项。

　　Ⅲ.完形填空

　　语篇解读:作者目睹了一个6岁的男孩为救和自己生同样疾病的姐姐而为姐姐输血的故事,作者深受感动,从而改变了自己不愿为那个女孩献血的想法。

　　1.D　由语境可知,他急需与女儿同血型的血以挽救女儿,故好奇地询问(asked)我的血型。

　　2.B　由下文的so I was afraid of doing this and didn’t know what to do可知,我以前从没(never)献过血。

　　3.A　由语境可知,一个小女孩正在遭受(suffering)一种严重疾病的折磨。

　　4.D　由上下文内容可知,女孩的弟弟也(also)得了同样的病。

　　5.C　由空格后面的by developing the anti-bodies needed to fight for the disease可知,弟弟体内产生了同疾病作斗争的抗体,故能幸免于难(survived)。

　　6.D　医生问男孩是否乐意(willing)给姐姐输血。

　　7.C　由下文内容可知,小男孩对于献血一无所知,所以我看见他犹豫(hesitate)了一小会儿。

　　8.C　当他看到姐姐的脸上有了血色(colour),他笑了。

　　9.B　由上下文内容可知,男孩的脸色苍白,脸上的微笑(smile)不见了。

　　10.A　由语境可知,小男孩以为自己会死,所以很害怕,他用颤抖的(trembling)声音问医生。

　　11.D　因为年龄太小,男孩误解(misunderstood)了医生。

　　12.C　他原以为他要把全部的血给姐姐,为此他也会失去(lose)生命。

　　13.A　由上下文内容可知,看到这个场景,我感到羞愧(ashamed)。

　　14.C　由语境可知,小男孩根本不知道(unknowing)献血是怎么回事。

　　15.A　而我,作为一个成年人,知道献血不会影响(affect)我的生命。

　　16.B　我当然不会丢了命,但却(but)会救别人的性命。

　　17.A　那一刻改变了(changed)我的想法。

　　18.A　通过救那个女孩的命,我感觉到真正的幸福(happiness)。

　　19.C　如果病人因为血液缺失而送命,那不是医生的过错(fault)。

　　20.D　因为现在不能人工造血,所以只有我们通过(by)献血才能救别人的性命。

　　【疑难词汇解读】

　　1.critical adj.重要的,关键的,危险的;评判性的

　　Your advice is of critical importance to me.

　　你的建议对我至关重要。

　　The patient is in critical condition now.

　　那位病人现在病情危急。

　　2.hesitant adj.犹豫(不决)的;有顾虑的

　　The economist was hesitant to comment on government policy.

　　那个经济学家不大愿意对政府政策作出评论。

　　【长难句子分析】

　　I felt ashamed,when that young boy,unknowing the fact of blood donation,got ready to give his blood,thinking that he will lose his life but save his sister’s life.

　　这是一个主从复合句,主句为I felt ashamed,从句为when that young boy got ready to give his blood。unknowing the fact of blood donation在句中作定语,修饰that young boy,而thinking that he will lose his life but save his sister’s life在从句中作状语且与主语that young boy之间为主动关系。

　　当那个不知道献血是怎么回事的小男孩准备献血的时候,他认为他会失去自己的生命但却能救他姐姐的命,我感到羞愧。
