8．re you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix？
In 1969，the pollution was terrible along the Guyahoga River near Cleveland，Ohio．It（61）was（be）unimaginable that it could never be cleaned up．The river was so polluted that it（62）actually （ctual） caught fire and burned．Now，years later，this river is one of （63）the most understanding examples of environmental cleanup．
But the river wasn't changed in a few days （64）or even a few months．It took years of work 
（65）toreduce （reduce） the industrial pollution and clean the water．Finally，that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is （66）cleaner（clean） than ever．
May be you are facing an impossible situation．Maybe you have a habit （67）that/whichis drivi ng your family crazy．Possibly you drink too much or don't know how to control your credit card use．When you face such an impossible situation，don't you want a quick fix and something to change immediately？
While there are （68）amazing（amaze） stories of instant transformation，for most of us the （69）changes（change） are gradual and require a lot of effort and work，like cleaning up a polluted river．Just be （70）patient（patience）．

分析 本文主要論述了當我們面對比較棘手的困境時，不要急于求成，需要耐心地付出努力，這樣情況會逐漸得到好轉(zhuǎn)．

解答 61．was 考查動詞時態(tài)．根據(jù)上文中的時間狀語In 1969表示過去時間，要用一般過去時態(tài)，因it是單數(shù)三人稱形式，謂語動詞用was．
62．a(chǎn)ctually 考查副詞．catch是動詞，要用副詞修飾，形容詞actual的副詞是actually．
63．the 考查冠詞．形容詞最高級前要加定冠詞the．
64．or 考查連詞．根據(jù)句意：但是這條河流的改變不是幾天或者幾個月的事情．本句中的or"或者"表示選擇的意思．
65．to reduce 考查動詞不定式．It takes sb some time to do sth意為"做某事花了某人…時間"，句中的不定式to reduce the industrial pollution and clean the water是句子真正的主語．前面的it是形式主語．
66．cleaner 考查形容詞比較級．根據(jù)句意：最后人們的努力得到了回報，現(xiàn)在這條河比以前更干凈了．橫線后面有than，說明橫線上應該使用比較級的形式．
67．that/which 考查定語從句．分析句子結構可知這是一個定語從句，先行詞是a habit，定語從句中使用關系動詞that/which指代先行詞在從句中做主語．
68．a(chǎn)mazing 考查現(xiàn)在分詞．現(xiàn)在分詞轉(zhuǎn)換的形容詞常常修飾事物，過去分詞轉(zhuǎn)換的形容詞常常修飾人或者與人有關的事物．橫線后面是名詞story，說明應該使用現(xiàn)在分詞轉(zhuǎn)換的形容詞．
69．changes 考查名詞．本句中謂語部分是系動詞are，說明主語應該是一個復數(shù)形式的名詞，用changes．
70．patient 考查形容詞．系動詞be后用形容詞用表語，說明本句是一個祈使句be patient耐心一點．

點評 在一篇200詞左右的語篇（短文或?qū)υ挘┲辛舫?0處空白，部分空白的后面給出單詞的基本形式，要求考生根據(jù)上下文填寫空白處所需的內(nèi)容或所提供單詞的正確形式，所填寫詞語不得多于3個單詞．要做好語法填空題，理解短文是解題的前提，扎實的詞匯、句型和語法知識是基礎，英語國家的背景知識是必要的補充．考生須靈活運用語法知識，如單詞詞性、單詞時態(tài)、名詞單復數(shù)、連接詞、代詞、冠詞等判斷各空白處應填寫的內(nèi)容．答完后，還要通讀全文，核對所填單詞形式是否正確，是否符合語境．

13．Homeschooling is the education of children at home，typically by parents but sometimes by tutors，rather than in public or private school．As a matter of fact，most childhood education occurred within the family or community．
Homeschooling is a legal choice for parents in developed countries to provide their children with a learning environment at home．Parents see many reasons for homeschool，including better test results，improved instruction，to help the public system with fewer kids，poor public school environment，religious reasons，improved character development，the expense of private education，and objection to what is taught locally in public school．

17．Another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about：space．Every person feels himself have a sort of invisible protection surrounding his physical body．When someone comes too close，he feels uncomfortable．When he bumps onto someone，he feels obliged to apologize．But the size of a person's"comfort zone"depends on his cultural ethnic origin．For example，in casual conversation，many Americans stand about four feet apart．In other words，they like to keep each other"at an arm's length"．People in Latin or Arab cultures，in contrast，stand very close to each other and touch each other often．If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation，the Americans may feel uncomfortable and back away．
When Americans are talking，they expect others to respond to what they are saying．To Americans，polite conversationalists understand by showing expressions of excitement or dislike，shock or sadness．People with a"poker face"，whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan（無表情的） expression，are looked upon with suspicion．Americans also show their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows，nodding，smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact．However，some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening．Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty．If a person doesn't look you in the eye，American might say：you should question his motives---or suppose that he doesn't like you．Yet with all the concern for eye contact，Americans still consider staring---especially at strangers---to be rude．
58．What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably aboutD．
  A．classification of nonverbal communication
  B．the reasons why people should think about space
  C．the relationship between communication and space
  D．some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication
59．How far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with theirB．
A．race      
B．culture         
C．custom      
D．nationality
60．When a person from Latin America talks to an Arabian on informal occasions，A．
A．he stands about four feet away            
B．"comfort zone"does not exist
C．keeping close enough is preferred             
D．communication barriers （障礙） may appear
61．In a conversation between friends，Americans regard it as honest and truthful toA．
A．maintain direct eye contact                   
B．hide emotions with a deadpan expression
C．display excitement or dislike，shock or sadness

18．A handsome man can earn a fifth more than an average-looking colleague but a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her average-looking colleague，new research has shown．
The study by senior economists（經(jīng)濟學家）found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22percent more than average-looking colleagues．Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar advantage．
Andrew Leigh，a former economics professor at the Australian National University who co-authored the report，said："Beauty can be a double-edged sword for women．"
"Some people still believe good looks and intelligence are incompatible（矛盾的）in women，so a good-looking women can't be that productive，but it doesn't affect-men's pay．"
He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more，the research did not support his theory．
The research found that handsome men in all jobs，from manual labour（手工勞動）to highly-paid professional careers，can earn 22percent more than their colleagues doing the same work．
Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office，with ugliness reducing a man's earnings by 26percent compared to an average-looking worker．
Former male model，lan Mitchell，28，who has a first class degree in history from Edinburgh University and now works for a cosmetics company，told the Sunday Times：'It gives you confidence，and I suspect people tend to warm to you more quickly．"
The study，named Unpacking the Beauty Premium，was the largest exercise of its kind and repeated a survey from 1984to see if the beauty premium（美貌價）had changed．
Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were"lookist（以貌取人的）"and he hoped the findings would encourage employers to remove their prejudice．
32．What has the research found？B
A．Male workers pay more attention to their appearance
B．Handsome men have an advantage in their jobs
C．Appearance plays an important role at work．
D．The more beautiful a female is，the lower their intelligence is
33．What is Andrew Leigh's opinion？B
A．Beauty is a double-edged sword for workers
B．Gook-looking females are likely to earn more
C．Employers have prejudice in employing workers
D．More attention is paid to appearance now than before
34．We can learn from the text that men who are below average in appearanceD
A．earn26%less than handsome men
B．earn 22%less than average-looking men
C．earn as much as average-looking men
D．earn 26%less than average-looking men
35．What is the main idea of the text？C
A．Employees should pay more attention to their appearance
B．Males and females should be treated equally in interviews
C．Good-looking men tend to earn more
D．Beautiful female interviewees aren't popular in interviews．
