解析試題分析:本文講述了教育中非常重要但又被人們忽略了的一個(gè)方面,即自我發(fā)現(xiàn)的藝術(shù)。因?yàn)槲覀兯械母镄潞桶l(fā)現(xiàn),我們所有的創(chuàng)造力,都出自一個(gè)來(lái)源:就是能夠首先看清那里是什么,不是什么,聽(tīng)清說(shuō)的是什么,不是什么。這就是教會(huì)學(xué)生自我發(fā)現(xiàn)的重要性所在。
【小題1】B形容詞辨析。A技術(shù)性的;B重要的;C 嚴(yán)肅的;D常見(jiàn)的,共同的。由下文的敘述可知自我發(fā)現(xiàn)的藝術(shù)是非常重要的。所以B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題2】D動(dòng)詞辨析。A 負(fù)擔(dān)得起;B 告訴;C 重復(fù);D 問(wèn)。此處用兩個(gè)相同的how to do結(jié)構(gòu)強(qiáng)調(diào)前后的對(duì)比,由answer可以判斷后面填ask ,D選項(xiàng)正確。句意:我們現(xiàn)在的大學(xué)造就的是怎樣給答案的學(xué)生,而不是怎樣提問(wèn)題的學(xué)生。
【小題3】C動(dòng)詞辨析。A參加;B 進(jìn)入;C 離開(kāi);D 欣賞,喜歡。從后句with skills for the workplace,可以判斷是畢業(yè)后去工作崗位,故C選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題4】C名詞辨析。A 學(xué)習(xí);B 工作;C 生活;D 思考。從with no knowledge of how to live可知此處仍然指的是生活,句意:沒(méi)有怎樣生活的知識(shí),或者為什么而生活的知識(shí)。C選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題5】A名詞辨析。A藝術(shù);B 主題;C 主意;D 風(fēng)格,文體。文章開(kāi)頭提出 the art of self-discovery,自我發(fā)現(xiàn)的藝術(shù),傾聽(tīng)的藝術(shù),從內(nèi)容的平列可知后面應(yīng)該是服從的藝術(shù),A為正確選項(xiàng)。
【小題6】C名詞辨析。A聽(tīng);B 說(shuō);C讀;D寫(xiě)。從下句True reading is not just passing…可知此處指的是閱讀,故C選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題7】D名詞辨析。A嘴唇;B 胳膊;C 手;D眼睛。從常識(shí)可知閱讀時(shí)目光掠過(guò)文字, 所以D 選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題8】A動(dòng)詞辨析。A收集;B遞送,發(fā)布;C 送; D 傳遞。從常理可知人們閱讀的目的是為了獲取信息,了解情況。所以A選項(xiàng)正確。閱讀不僅僅是目光掠過(guò)文字,或者收集信息,或者是理解所讀的內(nèi)容。
【小題9】B形容詞辨析。A本地的;B有創(chuàng)造性的;C 偵探;D敏感的。從下文內(nèi)容可知閱讀時(shí)大腦要對(duì)所讀到的東西進(jìn)行加工處理,得到一些新的東西,這是一個(gè)創(chuàng)造性的過(guò)程,所以B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題10】B名詞辨析。A感激,欣賞;B想象力;C 呈現(xiàn);D指示。根據(jù)常識(shí)人們?cè)陂喿x時(shí),會(huì)運(yùn)用想象力使所讀的內(nèi)容以畫(huà)面的形式出現(xiàn)在眼前。所以B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題11】A名詞辨析。A 行業(yè),散步;B 種類(lèi);C 邊,面;D物件。All walks of life 是固定短語(yǔ)“各行各業(yè)”,所以選A。
【小題12】C副詞辨析。A一般說(shuō)來(lái);B 顯然;C 實(shí)際上;D 故意地。從下文They only read what is。。。判斷可知此處指人們盡管專(zhuān)業(yè),但是實(shí)際上也沒(méi)有真正地讀眼前的東西。所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題13】D副詞辨析。A 甚至;B 永遠(yuǎn);C仍然;D已經(jīng)。從上文可知他們讀的僅僅是字面的意思,沒(méi)有運(yùn)用想象力創(chuàng)造性的讀出新內(nèi)容來(lái),所以D選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題14】B名詞辨析。A 主題;B 頁(yè);C 科目,話題;D 書(shū)。從語(yǔ)境可知作者指的是人們?cè)谧x這篇文章時(shí),所以B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題15】A名詞辨析。A創(chuàng)造力;B可能性;C 程序;D 項(xiàng)目。由上文innovations, our discoveries可以推斷此處應(yīng)該是和革新、發(fā)現(xiàn)同類(lèi)的褒義詞,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
考點(diǎn):考查教育類(lèi)短文。

Soon it became   42  that we were getting nowhere. I began to picture the rest of the day in the   43  without food or drink. We had walked about ten miles. But Beans seemed totally   44 . The sniffing and exploring was going well for him.
Finally, we   45 a crossroad near a highway. Lady Luck suggested I should turn left. We did and  46   reached a cottage beside a field. I knocked on the door and explained my situation to an old man. He laughed and then drove us home.

It was a cold winter. The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just  1 any November day. His   2 , when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it   3 . One morning, I walked slowly   4  and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman clearing my walk. I dropped to my knees and crawled back upstairs,  5 those good people would not see me. I was   6 . My first thought was, how would I ever  7 them? I didn’t have the  8 to brush my hair,   9 clear someone’s walk.
Before Jon’s death, I felt proud that I   10 asked for favors. I identified myself by my competence and  11 . So who was I if I was no longer capable? How could I   12 myself if I just sat on the couch every day and watched the snow fall?
Learning to receive the love and   13 from others wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried. Finally, my friend Kathy said, “Mary, cooking for you isn’t a   14 for me; it makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard   15 words from the people who supported me during those  16 days. One wise man told me, “You aren’t doing nothing because being fully open to your  17 may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
I am not the person I   18 was, but in many ways I have changed for the   19 . I’ve been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom coming form  20 one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.

Kids have their own ideas about money---some are sensible and others are not so wise.
Twelve-year-old Amanda thinks it’s        to save and not blow your money right away  “ so you can         other things”.
When it comes to credit cards, eight-year-old Jeremie says when the monthly        comes in “ you sign it and then you give it back” ---leaving out the part about actually        it.
These kids are        far away from the working world, but the ideas they’re forming about        could affect how much they save, how they use credit cards and how much debt they finally take on in later life.
High school business teacher Jeff Balch said his students had        knowledge about money other than spending. “ They don’t know most things because        talks to them about them---as in their parents,” said Balch, “The discussions tend to be in terms of kids        too much money, but no one tells them why, where their money goes.
Mitch Murphy said students’ message to the task force was to “ make it       ”. “ It may be difficult to have a 14-or 15-year-old student get too        about retirement planning, ” Murphy said, “ But if you want to talk about a cellphone contract or a debt card,they will be engaged in.” Murphy said learning financial literacy (能力)     ,  well        getting into the work force, should stay with Canadians for life and        the country as a result.
Sandra Martin said children can start learning about money when they learn to       . “ Sit down with the flyers and look at how much things cost,” Martin said. Babysitting and birthday money could be        and there would be a(n)        as to how much could be debited(借) every month, she said.
“ The reality is that we’re not spending with cash anymore. If you’re always in         of your child’s money, then they’re never going to learn what it means to save for something that’s      .”
Balch said he tries to make his students realize the differences between needs, wants and priorities(優(yōu)先權(quán)). If they haven’t learned self-control and if they haven’t learned how to        money, they can easily spiral(螺旋上升) out of control.

       positive through the cold season could be your best         against getting ill, new study findings suggest.
In an experiment that         healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers found that people with a         sunny characteristic were less likely to         ill. The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help         the common cold and other illnesses.
Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness increasing immune(免疫的) function and subjective as in happy people being less         by a scratchy throat or runny nose. “People with a positive emotional style may have different immune         to the virus,” explained the lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may         their illness as being less severe.”
Cohen and his colleagues had found in a         study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional tendency itself had the effect.
For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with complete standard measures of personality tendency, health-consciousness and emotional “style”. Those who         be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style,         those who were often unhappy, tense and unfriendly had a negative style. The researchers gave them drops through their noses         either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the         reported on any aches, pains, sneezing they had, while the researchers collected         data, like daily mucus(黏液) production. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes(鼻部的不適), happy people were less likely to develop a cold.

America’s Beauty Is in Its Diversity
America is built on the idea of freedom, and there is no exception for Muslim women. I     the freedom of religion and speech. But mostly, I believe it’s OK to be      , and to stand up for who and what you are. So I believe in wearing the hijab.
The hijab is a religious head covering, like a scarf. I am Muslim, and keeping my head covered is a       of maturity(成熟)and respect toward my       and to Allah’s will.      , I also like to wear it to be different. I don’t usually like to do what everyone else is doing. I want to be a(n)      , not just part of the crowd. But when I first wore it, I was also afraid of the       that I’d get at school.
I      on my own that sixth grade was the       I should start wearing the hijab. I was      about what the kids would say or even do to me. I thought they might make fun of me, or       be scared of me and       my headscarf. Kids at that age usually like to be all the same, and there’s little or no       of differences.
On the first day of school, I put all those       thoughts behind my back and walked in with my head held high. I was holding my breath a little, but       I was also proud to be a Muslim, proud to be wearing the hijab, proud to be different.
I was       about everything I thought the kids would say or even do to me. I actually met a lot of people because of wearing my head covering. Most of the kids would come and ask me questions —    — about the hijab and why I wore it.
I did hear some kid was making fun of me,       there was one girl—she wasn’t even in my class, and we never really talked much–and she spoke       me, and I wasn’t even there! I made a lot of new friends that year, friends that I still have until this very day, five years later.
Yes, I’m different, but everyone is different here, in one way or another. This is the      of America.

Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is  36   , but leaves out important information that should be     37  , he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just    38    a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and     39   it for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner,    40  ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred     41    , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big     42   !
He didn’t say anything that was    43   , but he deliberately left out some important  44  . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically     45  , but they are just as not   46    .
Untrustworthy candidates in     47    campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and   48   three million jobs. Then she    49    another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement   50  , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true.    51   , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of   52   million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s    53   the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the    54   . An advertisement might boast (吹噓), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It     55   to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of cheat happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

Scores of people queued up to use a cash machine after it started giving out double the money requested.
The cash machine, outside a Sainsbury’s store in Barham Road, Hull, attracted a big crowd of people hoping to take advantage of the fault, on Tuesday night. Police officers were eventually sent in to guard the machine and prevent anymore money from being withdrawn. The fault is thought to have affected cash machines at supermarkets across the city. It is not yet known whether the customers will have to repay the cash or how much money was taken out.
A spokeswoman for Humberside Police said, “Officers were sent to the cash machine to prevent anyone else from withdrawing anymore money. We have also tried to make contact with the owners of the machine.” The spokeswoman said those who benefited from the fault could be traced and could face theft charges, but investigations would only take place if the operator made a complaint.
The cash machine is owned by a company called Payzone, a spokesman later confirmed. He said the fault was due to the machine being filled with notes of the wrong denomination(面值). An investigation is underway into the incident and the machine had been taken out of service, he added.
The Payzone spokesman said, “The transit company(轉(zhuǎn)運(yùn)公司)which is contracted to service this ATM has filled it up with the wrong denomination of notes, meaning it is paying out double what it should have. ” He could not say how much money had been taken out of the machine, or whether it would have to be paid back. It was understood that a number of cash machines in Hull owned by other companies had also been affected by this problem, he added.

A.people queued up inside the store to buy things

A.the police traced their theft
B.the operator complained to the police
C.they got more money after the police came
D.the police contacted the owner of the machine
