Mark Mills once worked as a cook．He decided to leave his job and turn to farming．He says his （44）A was based on two things：a strong interest in agriculture and his lack of knowledge about what it takes to be a（n） （45）C．Mark Mills was a history major in college．All he knows about （46）A food comes from growing plants in his home garden and 26years of working in restaurants．
In recent years，many Americans have developed a taste for （47）D，locally grown fruits and vegetables．The number of farmer's markets has （48）B over 50percent in the past 10years．Mr．Mills'first year in farming was successful．The hardest part was not growing the crops，he says．The problem has been （49）C them，namely in exchange for money．Mr．Mills says his farm probably lost more money than it earned．（50）A，his wife has a non-farm job and can provide financial support，at least for now．

分析 本文通過(guò)介紹最近的一項(xiàng)研究結(jié)果（即只有百分之二的人口從事農(nóng)業(yè)工作）以及介紹Mark Mills廚師離職并轉(zhuǎn)向務(wù)農(nóng)的情況，說(shuō)明由于許多新農(nóng)民缺乏或沒(méi)有農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，使得他們損失了很多錢(qián)，因此他們還需要有另一種收入來(lái)源養(yǎng)活自己．

解答 答案：
42-46BDACA   
42．B   考查上下文句意理解以及動(dòng)詞詞義辨析      A．不見(jiàn)，消失； B．出現(xiàn)； C．培養(yǎng)，陶冶，耕作； D．執(zhí)行；完成；根據(jù)本句中的Yet 可知，本句的意思應(yīng)與上一句"只有百分之二的人口從事農(nóng)業(yè)工作"表達(dá)的意思相反，即然而，小農(nóng)場(chǎng)似乎出現(xiàn)在了許多領(lǐng)域，來(lái)滿(mǎn)足當(dāng)?shù)厣a(chǎn)的日益增長(zhǎng)的食品的需求；此處的意思應(yīng)是：出現(xiàn)；故選B．
43．D    考查上下文句意理解以及名詞詞義辨析    A．競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，奮斗；B．證詞，證據(jù)；C．耐心，耐性； D． 經(jīng)驗(yàn)，經(jīng)歷；根據(jù)下文舉例講到Mark Mills對(duì)農(nóng)業(yè)非常感興趣，但是由于缺乏種植經(jīng)驗(yàn)，而損失了很多錢(qián)，可知此處指的應(yīng)是：經(jīng)營(yíng)這些農(nóng)場(chǎng)的人往往很少或沒(méi)有農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)；故選D．
44．A     聯(lián)系上下文   根據(jù)上文講到Mark Mills決定離職并轉(zhuǎn)向務(wù)農(nóng)，以及下文講到了他做該決定的依據(jù)，可知此處指的應(yīng)是：他的決定基于以下兩件事；故選A．
45．C    聯(lián)系上下文     根據(jù)下一句"Mark Mills was a history major in college"可推測(cè)出，由于Mark Mills 大學(xué)學(xué)的是歷史專(zhuān)業(yè)，因此此處指的應(yīng)是：他缺乏作為一個(gè)農(nóng)民所需要的知識(shí)；故選C．
46．A   考查上下文句意理解以及動(dòng)詞詞義辨析     A．生產(chǎn)，制作； B．破壞； C．創(chuàng)造； D．貢獻(xiàn)；根據(jù)上文"Mark Mills once worked as a cook"可知，Mark Mills曾經(jīng)是一位廚師，因此這里指的應(yīng)是：他只知道制作的食物是來(lái)自于他家花園里種植的作物；故選A．
47---51DBCAB   
47．D   考查句意理解     本句的意思是：近年來(lái)，許多美國(guó)人已經(jīng)開(kāi)始品嘗新鮮的，當(dāng)?shù)胤N植的水果和蔬菜；此處指的是：新鮮的；故用D．
48．B    聯(lián)系上下文     根據(jù)上一句：許多美國(guó)人都喜歡品嘗新鮮的，當(dāng)?shù)胤N植的水果和蔬菜，可推測(cè)出此處指的應(yīng)是：農(nóng)貿(mào)市場(chǎng)的數(shù)量在增加；故選B．
49．C   考查上下文句意理解以及動(dòng)詞詞義辨析    A．釋放，發(fā)布；B．買(mǎi)； C．賣(mài)； D．揭露，暴露；根據(jù)下一句"namely in exchange for money也就是換成金錢(qián)"解釋了本句的意思，可知此處指的應(yīng)是：賣(mài)東西，也就是換錢(qián)；故選C．
50．A   聯(lián)系上下文    根據(jù)上文"Mr．Mills says his farm probably lost more money than it earned"提到Mills先生的農(nóng)場(chǎng)損失的錢(qián)要多于賺的錢(qián)，以及下文"his wife has a non-farm job and can provide financial support，at least for now．他的妻子有一份非農(nóng)業(yè)工作，至少現(xiàn)在可以提供資金支持．"可推測(cè)出，此處的意思是：幸運(yùn)的是；故選A．
51．B   聯(lián)系上下文     根據(jù)上文講到Mark Mills經(jīng)營(yíng)的農(nóng)場(chǎng)損失的錢(qián)要多于賺的錢(qián)，還需要妻子的資金支持，可知本句的意思應(yīng)是：專(zhuān)家說(shuō)，許多新農(nóng)民需要用另一種收入來(lái)源養(yǎng)活自己；故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做本題時(shí)，首先應(yīng)在瀏覽全文的基礎(chǔ)上，把握故事大意；其次根據(jù)上下文以及句子之間的句意關(guān)系，推測(cè)出每一小題的句意，然后選出符合句意的單詞．做完形填空題，不但需要培養(yǎng)良好的閱讀習(xí)慣，提高閱讀理解能力；而且還應(yīng)注意詞匯量的積累，做好各類(lèi)短語(yǔ)或各類(lèi)詞的詞義辨析．

5．We're in the middle of winter．It's cold and we're suffering from cold wind and rain．The sun，even when it does show its face，is setting at 4p．m．It's no wonder people in the street look sad．
But according to most of the research on the connection between weather and mood（情緒），they shouldn't be．Weather has little effect on mood．
When you tell people this，though，they don't believe it．Most of us think the weather has quite a strong effect on our mood．Many think that the rain and cold weather dejects us and the sun and warmth cheers us up．
So why don't we see this effect in the research？That's the question a new study by Klimstra et al．tries to answer with a group of young people and their mothers．In fact，Klimstra et al．found four different groups：
1．Unaffected：about half the people in their study fell into this group．For these people it didn't matter that much whether it was raining  or sunny，hot or cold，their mood was mostly unaffected．
2．Summer lovers：here's the group you'd expect．For these people，their mood improved with less rain，more sun and higher temperatures（15% of young people and 30% of their mothers）．
3．Summer haters：here's the group of people you hear less about．These were the exact opposite of the summer lovers so they were happier when there was more rain，less sun and lower temperatures （27% of the young people and 12% of their mothers）．
4．Rain haters：this group's mood didn't change with the temperature，sunshine or the wind；they just hated the rain（8% of young people and 12% of their mothers）．
This helps explain why studies keep finding that weather doesn't have much effect on mood：it's because we're different and these differences are mostly being averaged out．
