Do you know some people who just have all the luck? They seem to get all the       and you ask yourself: “Why don’t I get    ? Why don’t I get a great education?” But the real reason why most people are successful or lucky is that they’ve learned how to       themselves in a place so they can be lucky. They’ve learned how to, in a way,       their own luck!
I’m not       about dishonest or illegal ways. I’m talking about hard,       work. But successful people work smart. They keep improving and making the most of their abilities. Yet they also learn to      for help in things they themselves are not that good       doing. So we not only must make the most of our own special strengths, we must also learn our       and weaknesses.
A man recently got his lucky big break. Everyone said, “That guy’s so lucky!” But that man created his own luck       by arriving at the office early. He apologized and       when he was wrong. He even shared the credit and reward with others       he had done much of the work. He was never satisfied just to get       and do average work. He always       the extra effort to do his very best.
We have to work hard and do what it      to be on the way to luck and success when it comes.        , weMI miss it because we aren’t ready. You never know when the right opportunity will come your way, and when the right, important person is watching your excellent        and work. That’s when you’ll get your lucky break! But when you put your life in Jesus Christ’s         , the right important person is always         you and all that you do. Then he will      and bless vour life in manv wavs as vou do vour very best to please him in every thina every dav.

試題分析:有些人總是鴻運(yùn)當(dāng)頭,占盡了機(jī)緣。你不禁會(huì)想:“為什么我沒有這種福氣?”其實(shí)大多數(shù)人成功或走運(yùn)的真正原因是他們知道如何為自己“創(chuàng)造”好運(yùn)。成功者不僅努力工作,還富有智慧。他們不斷地豐富并充分利用自己的資源,而且對(duì)自己不擅長(zhǎng)的事,他們也知道如何去尋求幫助。
小題1:C上句“Do you know some people who just have  all the luck?”暗示“有些人總是吉星高照”,所以此處指“他們似乎占盡了機(jī)緣”。這里用break表示  “運(yùn)氣”。第三段第一句句末的break也有暗示。qualification“資格,條件”; occupation“工作,職業(yè)”;license“批準(zhǔn),許可,執(zhí)照”。
小題2:Blucky“幸運(yùn)的,僥幸的,吉利的”。你會(huì)問自己:“為什么我沒有這種好運(yùn)氣呢?”前文的have all the luck和下文的“But the real reason why most people are successful or lucky is that...”也有暗示。
小題3:A put themselves in a place“使他們自己處于有運(yùn)氣的地方”。成語“設(shè)身處地”可譯為:put oneself in other's position。
小題4:C create“創(chuàng)造,創(chuàng)作,創(chuàng)建”。第三段的第三句“But that man created his own luck...”有暗示。語境為:在某種程度上,他們(那些成功的人們)學(xué)會(huì)了如何 “創(chuàng)造”自己的好運(yùn)。
小題5:C talk about“談?wù)摗。下句“I'm talking about hard,honest work”有暗示。
小題6:B practical“實(shí)際的,實(shí)踐的,實(shí)用的”;adequate“充分的,適當(dāng)?shù)模瑒偃蔚摹;meaningful“有目的的,有意義的”;honest“誠實(shí)的,可靠的,直率的”。前句“I'm not talking about dishonest or illegal ways”暗示此處應(yīng)填honest。
小題7:D下句中的“they themselves are not good at doing”表明這里填ask,短語ask for help表示“尋求幫助”。
小題8:A習(xí)慣搭配be good at表示“擅長(zhǎng)”。然而,對(duì)自己不擅長(zhǎng)的事情,他們學(xué)會(huì)     了向別人求助。
小題9:B limit“局限,界限,限度”;pressure“壓力”;strength“力量,優(yōu) 點(diǎn)”;ability“能力,才智”。前句說“我們不僅要充分地發(fā) 揮自己的特長(zhǎng)”, 因此本句是說“我們還必須知道自己的局限和弱點(diǎn)”。our limits and weaknesses 對(duì)應(yīng)our own special strength。
小題10:A always“總是,一直”,表示頻度非常高。由語境“那個(gè)人靠總是早早地來到辦公室創(chuàng)造了自己的好運(yùn)”可知,這里應(yīng)選always。而不是“偶爾、很少、從不”早到辦公室。
小題11:A realize“認(rèn)識(shí)到,了解”;promise“允諾,答應(yīng)”;admit“承認(rèn)”; convey“運(yùn)輸,表達(dá)”。根據(jù)空后的“when he was wrong”(當(dāng)他犯錯(cuò)誤的時(shí)候)可推斷,他勇于“承認(rèn)”(admit)錯(cuò)誤。
小題12:B上一空后的when...狀語從句有暗示。語境為:當(dāng)他做了大部分工作的時(shí)候,他仍然與他人分享榮譽(yù)和獎(jiǎng)賞。
小題13:B get by“混過,湊合,勉強(qiáng)應(yīng)付”。get over“克服,忍受,痊愈”。語境為:他永不滿足于僅僅做普通的工作,不會(huì)得過且過,他總是追求盡善盡美。
小題14:Dmake the extra effort“付出額外的努力”。名詞effort總是與make搭配。
小題15:C take“花費(fèi)”;afford“買得起,承擔(dān)得起”;obtain“獲得,得到”;  adapt“(使)適應(yīng)”。句式it takes...to do sth.表示“做某事需要……”。語境為:我們必須努力工作,盡一切努力走到運(yùn)氣和成功降臨的路上。
小題16:B  otherwise“否則,要不然”,引出相反的結(jié)果。語境為:否則,我們就會(huì) 因?yàn)闆]有準(zhǔn)備好而錯(cuò)失良機(jī)。
小題17:C approach“途徑,方式,方法”;administration“管理,經(jīng)營,支配”;  action“行動(dòng),活動(dòng),行為”;attitude“態(tài)度,看法”。語境為:你從不會(huì)知道適當(dāng)?shù)臋C(jī)遇何時(shí)來臨,那個(gè)關(guān)鍵的人物何時(shí)注視著你出色的態(tài)度和表現(xiàn)。
小題18:A短語in the hands of sb./in sb.'s hands表示“命運(yùn)掌握在某人的手中”。語境:如果你讓自己的生活處于上帝的掌控之中……
小題19:D watch“保護(hù),留心,注視”;adopt“采用,采納,收養(yǎng)”;affect“影響”;catch“逮住,捉住,抓住,追上”。重要的人物(上帝)一直在注視你和你所做的事情。本段第二句中“when the right,important person is watching your...”部分有暗示。
小題20:C 根據(jù)下句bless your life in many ways可推測(cè)本空填reward“報(bào)酬,報(bào)答,獎(jiǎng)賞,報(bào)償”。語境為:你時(shí)時(shí)、事事都盡力使他(上帝)愉悅,上帝就會(huì)用很多   方式(好運(yùn)氣)來獎(jiǎng)賞你。

Today we spent the morning going through our personal belongings .We were looking for items to __      for free at a local park. Not just any items but things people really       . Our aim was not to find things we no longer        but things we use every day that would be        to others.
We packed these things        boxes and added some small toys. We added a list of local addresses and phone numbers of local        agencies. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed. It       : “Please take these items and know that your life is important.      are difficult but these days will pass. We share what we have believing that it will matter. Use the food to nurture your         ; use the blankets to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human        can overcome anything. Do not hold your head        for having a need to stay warm. Someday please do the same when you can.”
This kind        was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was        because it was the right to do. We have often seen        people at the park where we left the belongings. I        that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was        about it and she just replied that it had a hood (兜帽) . Her answer told me why it is I who love her. She liked the coat but knew the hood could        someone from the rain.
Who knows where these gifts of sympathy will       ? How many uses can a blanket serve        what it was designed to do? We never go back and see what happens. It is unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that       .

All of these      were important and necessary so that she could remain     . Our focus was just that -    her to remain living independently.

pillow after she had      got into bed. I observed tears running from her eyes. She said, “It’s been such a long time since I’ve had      sheets; I love the      of fresh clean sheets. I couldn’t      the sheets myself anymore. Thank you so much for changing my sheets. ”
Such a simple      as smelling clean sheets brought such great joy to her life. That was the day I      unconditional care. The next day we sat down and      what was important to her, what she liked, and how she had done things all these years. I never knew how much I would enjoy and learn from her      her life experiences with me. She was the sunshine in my life.

I once had a teacher whose husband died suddenly of heart attack.About a week after his death, she    some of her thoughts with a classroom of students.As the late afternoon sunlight shone    the classroom windows, and when the class was nearly over, she    a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down.
With a    look on her face,she paused and said,“  class is over,I’d like to share with all of you a deep    which I feel is very important.Each of us is put here on    to learn,share,love,appreciate and give of ourselves.  of us knows when this fantastic experience will   .It can be taken away at any moment.Perhaps this is the God’s    of telling us that we must make the     of every single day.”

The class was completely   .We all picked up our books and went out of the room silently.That   ,I observed many more beautiful things on my way home from school than usual.

Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers, whistling and clapping.
It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement.
Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown(方帽長(zhǎng)袍).
Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(對(duì)美國的忠孝宣誓).
Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.
To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.
A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.
小題1:What’s the article mainly about?
A.An American high school’s graduation ceremony.
B.The opening ceremony of a sports meeting.
C.A presentation of college diplomas.
D.A US college’s farewell party.
小題2:Which of the following statements about the author is FALSE?
A.She was one of the graduates.
B.She was a foreign exchange student.
C.She was excited to receive her diploma.
D.She felt it great to be at the ceremony.
小題3:The right order of the following events is________.
a. Diplomas were presented to graduates.
b. Students gave farewell speeches.
c. The US national anthem was played.
d. The principal gave a short, warm speech.
e. Seniors went into the stadium.

A.a(chǎn) diploma ensures a good job
B.a(chǎn) diploma guarantees a bright future
C.the commencement symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in life

I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage, credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us   51  chasing the same thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell   52 . I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I   53  the countryside for some place I could rent for the   54  possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road over the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was   55 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and   56  a corner to camp in.
The locals knew nothing about me, but slowly, they started teaching me the   57  of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began sticking around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a   58  American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness.
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were   59  for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place.   60  on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my   61  with my neighbors.
Four years later, I moved back into   62 . I saw many people were having a really hard time,
  63  their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to   64  a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in shelters if we hadn’t banded together.
The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about   65  we can all get bytogether.

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外部的) result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language--- all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to be faced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow.
These feelings of insecurity and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.
