20．Christmas Eve was tomorrow．I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree．It was the only thing I wanted．I had been  dropping hints to my parents．I love taking photos．My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom's old camera．I'm always trying to capture （捕捉） those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene，but my camera has always seemed to fall short．
I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning，so I went on a hunt in my mom's room．I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor-a big pink cat．I felt so disappointed．
Mom seemed to notice that，and she tried to cheer me up．"Stacy，I got your present today．I am so excited to surprise you!""I can't wait，"I said．The next day I couldn't wait any longer．I needed to tell her．
"Mom，may I talk to you for a second？"
"Sure，dear．What do you need to talk about？"she asked．
And so it came-how upset I was that I was getting a cat．
"Stacy，that cat is for your sister Julia!"she said with a smile．
"Then what am I getting？"I asked．
She just smiled．"You'll have to wait and see．"
The next morning，I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree．I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find…
My camera!"Thank you!"I said to both Dad and Mom．
Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia，Mom and me．It has become one of my favorite pictures．Just on that Christmas morning，I took lots of photos with my camera-my little sister making a face，my parents giving me a soft smile-and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me：love．

1．The underlined phrase"dropping hints"in Paragraph 1meansB．
A．talking often        B．suggesting indirectly
C．sending presents     D．taking pictures
2．Why did Stacy feel disappointed at first？D
A．Her mother couldn't understand her at all．
B．Her mother didn't buy her any Christmas gift．
C．She didn't find her present in her mom's room．
D．She mistook her sister's Christmas gift for hers．
3．We can infer from the passage thatD．
A．her mother bought Stacy a camera after discovering her disappointment
B．Stacy finally got her gift on Christmas Eve
C．Stacy thought it's OK to have an old camera
D．her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted for Christmas
4．What would be the best title for the passage？A
A．A Christmas gift as wished．
B．Love is more important than gifts．
C．A wonderful Christmas．
D．Love can not be bought．

分析 本文敘述Stacy在圣誕節(jié)時想要一個禮物就是一部相機，可一次偶然的機會他看見了父母還沒有來得及包裝的禮物-粉紅的小貓玩具，他誤認為是父母給他的禮物，他很失望，結(jié)果等到打開禮物時，一看是自己想要的相機，高興極了，于是他給他的家人拍了許多照片，他感覺他收到了父母的愛．

解答 1．答案：B．詞義猜測題．dropping hints暗示；根據(jù)上下文可知作者一直想要一個相機，總是暗示父母他的愿望，故選B．
2．答案：D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor-a big pink cat．I felt so disappointed．他把給他的妹妹的禮物當成是給自己的，因為他先要的是相機而他看到的是一只粉紅色的小貓玩具，所以他很失望，故選D．
3．答案：D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)She just smiled．"You'll have to wait and see．"他的母親笑著說的，可知母親知道他想要什么禮物，故選D．
4．答案：A．主旨大意題．閱讀全文，根據(jù)整篇短文的大意可知，本文主要圍繞禮物而展開的，故選A．

點評 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀，題目涉及詞義猜測題，主旨大意題，細節(jié)理解題．做題時學生應仔細閱讀原文，把握文章主要內(nèi)容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測．

9．I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people．Actually，most people experience nervousness at some time or another．
If you are feeling anxious，my advice is to first find the cause or causes．Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about．Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control．
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable（可控制的） and uncontrollable causes，so things they can's control become a big reason for nervousness．Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind．
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness．You might be worried about the weather on a big day，an accident or an attack on the train，or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work．The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can't control any of these things．Accept that you can't control everything．Once you understand this，it becomes easier not to worry．
If a situation，such as swimming，is causing you to be anxious，try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it．
It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous-then close your eyes and imagine it going well．Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it．This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen．
51．Who wrote this passage？A
A．A professor．
B．A sportsman．
C．A patient．
D．A reporter．
52．The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness becauseC．
A．most are not very important      
B．they are not the real causes of the problem
C．they cannot be controlled by people
D．it's better to deal with one cause at a time
53．If swimming makes you nervous，what should you do according to the writer？A
A．Go swimming often to get used to it．
B．Avoid going to the swimming pool．
C．Find a swimming teacher．
D．Imagine watching others swim．
54．What is true about nervousness according to the passage？D
A．It usually has only one cause．
B．It is usually caused by people．
C．People can easily manage it．
D．Most people suffer from it．
55．What is the main purpose of this passage？B
