　　二、七选五阅读

　　(2016·河北唐山模拟)

　　In our comparison­soaked (攀比成风的) culture, it's hard to avoid slipping into “Why can't I？” mode. When one of my colleagues who I think is not better than me published a new book, I couldn't help complaining how unachievable it seemed to me and what bad luck I had. Negative feelings like this made life dark for us. __1__ Here's what I learned：

　　Don't compare your insides to someone else's outsides.

　　The first time I heard this excellent advice, I was suffering from terrible envy. My professor's warning shocked me that “You have no idea what it took for them to get there. Don't just owe it to pure luck. __2__”

　　She was absolutely right, yet it's much easier to envy what they've got than to ask the serious questions: What are they modeling for me? What have they done to get where they are today? __3__

　　Transform comparison into celebration.

　　Admiration and envy are responses pointing us toward what we value most. __4__ If you notice yourself admiring people who take creative risks, bring your full attention to the part of you that wants to be braver.

　　__5__

　　Next time you catch yourself admiring or envying someone's success, take a moment to consider: What qualities in them inspire me? Where do I presently display these qualities? Remember the light we see in others can help us see our own!

　　A. Use the success of others as a mirror.

　　B. Learn to appreciate others' shining points.

　　C. How to get rid of the harmful effects of comparison needs exploring.

　　D. However, there is no doubt that good luck can't be ignored.

　　E. Instead, you should find out what's really going on behind the scenes.

　　F. And once we become aware of what we value, we are much better positioned to create a richly satisfying life.

　　G. When we reflect on these questions, we shift immediately out of comparison mode and turn inwards.

　　答案与解析　

　　语篇解读　这是一篇议论文。作者建议大家不要去和别人攀比，因为攀比会给人带来一些负面影响。

　　1．C　根据空前的“Negative feelings like this made life dark for us.”可知，像这样的负面情绪会让我们的生活灰暗，由此可判断出，C项“如何摆脱攀比的不良影响需要探究”与其衔接。

　　2．E　根据空前的“Don't just owe it to pure luck.”可知，不要把它归功于纯粹是运气，由此可知，E项“相反，你应该弄清楚其背后究竟是怎么回事”符合语境。

　　3．G　结合空前“What are they modeling for me? What have they done to get where they are today？”可知，G项“When we reflect on these questions...”与其呼应，符合语境。

　　4．F　根据文中的“Admiration and envy are responses pointing us toward what we value most.”可知，羡慕和嫉妒是对我们最为看重的事情的回应，那么后文就会谈到一旦我们意识到这点后的表现，显然F项符合语境。

　　5．A　根据最后一段中的“you catch yourself admiring or envying someone's success”可知，当你羡慕或嫉妒别人的成功时，想想他们身上有哪些激励自己的品质，以及你怎样把这些品质发挥出来，也就是说，要把别人的成功当作一面镜子，故选A。

　　三、语法填空

　　(2016·辽宁五校联考)

　　Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo (冰屋) hotel.

　　__1__ (build) in a small town, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over. In two weeks' time Bergqvist's ice creation __2__ (be) nothing more than a pool of water. “We don't see it as a big problem，” he says. “We just look forward to __3__ (replace) it.”

　　Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was __4__ successful that he designed the present one, __5__ measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks __6__ (pile) 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base __7__ (remove)．

　　After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. __8__ no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0 ℃， it may seem more like a survival test __9__ a relaxing hotel break. “It's great fun，” Bergqvist explains. “As well as a good start in survival training.”

　　The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists __10__ all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms.

　　答案与解析　

　　语篇解读　文章介绍了冰屋旅馆。

　　1．Built　考查非谓语动词。it指代the world's first igloo hotel，与build为动宾关系，且非谓语所表示的动作已完成，故应用过去分词作状语；且该词位于句首，首字母应大写。

　　2．will be　考查时态。由“but soon the fun will be over”及“In two weeks' time”可知，此处应用一般将来时，故填will be。

　　3．replacing　考查固定用法。look forward to表示“盼望”，to是介词，后跟动名词。

　　4．so　考查固定搭配。so...that...表示“如此……以至于……”，是固定句式。

　　5．which　考查定语从句。先行词是the present one，关系词在非限制性定语从句中作主语，应用which。

　　6．piling　考查动词搭配。spend some time doing(sth.)表示“花费……时间做某事”，是固定搭配。

　　7．was removed　考查时态和语态。remove与主语the base之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态，再结合语境可知，此处应用一般过去时，故填was removed。

　　8．With　考查介词。此处应用介词with表示原因，with作“有，带有”解，且位于句首，首字母应大写。

　　9．than　考查固定搭配。more...than...表示“与其……倒不如……”。

　　10．from　考查介词。from all over the world表示“来自世界各地”，是固定表达。
