My brother and I were brought up in a town in Scotland. Our father was a struggling , but I always knew he was . He never criticized us, but used to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them water, they die.” I as a child I said something about somebody, and my father said, “ time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best people, I would get the best .From then on I’ve always tried to the principle in my life and later in running my company.

試題分析:父親是一名勤奮的律師,他對孩子們從來不指責(zé)批評,而是用自己獨(dú)特的教育方式去引導(dǎo)孩子們,讓孩子們?nèi)グl(fā)現(xiàn)別人身上閃光的地方,從而培養(yǎng)自己的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)。對于孩子們的夢想,父親也給予理解和支持,在本文中作者通過回憶表達(dá)了對父親的感激之情。

1.. B.名詞辨析。A. 生物學(xué)家;B. 律師;C. 經(jīng)理;D. 園藝師。從下文“my dad persuaded me to go into law”可知作者的父母親從事的是法律工作,應(yīng)該是一個律師,答案選B。

2.. D.形容詞辨析。A.嚴(yán)格的;B. 誠實(shí)的;C. 博學(xué)的;D. 特別的。根據(jù)上下文可知父親雖是一個為生計而奮斗的律師,但他對孩子們從不批評,而是贊揚(yáng),通情達(dá)理并且允許作者棄學(xué)辦雜志,所以作者說父親教育孩子的方式卻很特別,選D,其他選項(xiàng)不符合語境。

3. C.名詞辨析。A.力量;B. 勇氣;C.表揚(yáng);D. 溫暖。前一句說他從不批評我們,后一句用but進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)折,顯然要選的詞應(yīng)該與criticize詞義相反,故選C。

4.. B.動詞辨析。A. 思考,認(rèn)為;B. 記得;C想象;D. 猜想。從情理可知對于小時候說過的話作者只是記得,而不是認(rèn)為的,也不是想像或猜想。故答案選B。

5..A .形容詞辨析。A. 不友好的; B. 不必要的;C.不重要的;D. 不尋常的。根據(jù)下文you say something unpleasant about somebody else判斷作者說了令人不愉快的話,由此判斷要選的詞與unpleasant同義, unkind“使人不愉快的,苛刻的”,故答案選A。

6.A. 另一個;B.任何; C. 一些;D.其他的。由情理可知人們?nèi)魏螘r候說別人不好的話,都是自己內(nèi)心或品質(zhì)的反映,故答案選B。

7.A在……之上;B. 在;C.在……內(nèi); D. 關(guān)于。從語境判斷父親教育作者要去發(fā)現(xiàn)或者尋找別人身上最好的東西,on強(qiáng)調(diào)物體的表面,而in則側(cè)重內(nèi)在,故答案選C

8.. B.短語辨析。A.以防萬一; B. 作為回報;C.碰巧;D. 輪流,依次。根據(jù)上下文可知父親認(rèn)為如果去發(fā)現(xiàn)別人身上最好的東西,那么反過來別人的品質(zhì)也會影響到自己,答案選B。句意:如果你從別人身上尋找最好的東西,那么同樣你也會得到最好的東西。

9.A. 修訂;B.設(shè)置;C. 復(fù)習(xí);D. 遵循。從語境判斷作者聽從了父親的建議,follow the principle“遵循這一原則”,故答案選D。

10.A.嚴(yán)重的;B. 有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的; C. 諒解的,通情達(dá)理的;D. 要求。從下文父親最終允許“我”棄學(xué)辦雜志看,父親是通情達(dá)理、善解人意的,故答案選C,其他不符合語境。

11. D.動詞短語辨析。A.繼續(xù),維持;B.編造,組成; C.撿起,接收(節(jié)目),接人等;D.占據(jù)(時間或空間)。根據(jù)情理判斷辦雜志會占去作者很多的時間,故答案選D。

12.A.建議;B. 決定;C. 選擇;D. 通知。從下文“stay in school or leave to work on my magazine”可知校長讓我作出一個選擇,答案選C。

13.A.并且;B. 即使;C.因?yàn)椋?D仿佛。根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容判斷前后句是因果關(guān)系,故答案選C。句意:因?yàn)槿魏我晃桓赣H都會這樣。

14.A. 說服;B.允許;C.幫助;D.建議。從下文可知父親后悔遺憾他沒能去實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢想,由此推斷父親的父親已經(jīng)成功地說服了父親從事法律行業(yè),故答案選A。

15.A. 幾乎;B.從不;C.很少;D. 總是。因?yàn)楦赣H的夢想是成為一個“biologist,”卻被說服當(dāng)了一個“l(fā)awyer”,所以父親在這里表達(dá)的意思是他總是因此而后悔遺憾,故答案選D。

16. A詞語辨析。.A但是;B.而不是;C. 因?yàn);D. 因此。上句提到自己曾經(jīng)想當(dāng)biologist,而根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知父親沒有實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢想,所以前后句之間應(yīng)為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故選A。

17.. C.名詞辨析。A. 承諾; B. 任務(wù); C. 夢想;D. 信念。父親本來想當(dāng)一個生物學(xué)家,但是結(jié)果在家長的勸說下成了一名律師,由此可知他沒有去追隨自己的夢想,故答案選C。

18.A.這個;B.這,那,它;C.他;D. 那個。固定結(jié)構(gòu):as it turned out “結(jié)果是,正如結(jié)果那樣”,it 代替后面的那句話,答案選B。

19.. A.名詞辨析。A.雜志;B報紙;C.程序;D項(xiàng)目,計劃t。根據(jù)前文已提到的At 15, I started a magazine. 判斷答案選A。

20.A. 控制;B. 撫養(yǎng),飼養(yǎng);C. 提醒;D.安慰。從語境判斷作者對于父親的教育方式非常感激并欣賞,所以他也想用父親培養(yǎng)他的方式去培養(yǎng)自己的孩子們。而且根據(jù)the same way判斷空格處要選的詞應(yīng)該與bring up 同義,故選B。

Five Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence

Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus. Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter.

1._______

This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity or allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.

When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.

2._______

I used to think that I’d learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you feel invigorated and can concentrate more easily.

3.______

Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren’t mentally stimulating. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to the author’s style.

4._______

Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation (剝奪睡眠). You’ll be most energetic if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate(彌補(bǔ))by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic(無精打采) and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most tranquil and productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes (使……最大化)your mental acuity(敏銳) all day.

If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will refresh you.

I hope you aren’t disappointed that none of the techniques I’ve proposed are revolutionary. But simple, unexciting answers are often the most valid. The challenge is having the will to adhere to them. If you succeed in following these 5 tips, you’ll be rewarded with increased mental acuity and retention of knowledge.
