    A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.

    Walking up to a department store’s cloth counter, a(n)  26  young woman said,“I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?”

“Only one   27   per yard,” replied the smirking (自鳴得意的) male clerk.

Not to be  28    back by the funny words, the woman said,” That’s fine! I’ll take ten yards.”

With  29    written all over his face, the clerk 30      measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly(戲弄地 ),  31    forward to receive his “   32   ”.

The woman got the package quickly from the clerk and  33   to a little old man standing beside her. “Grandpa will pay the bill instead of me,” she  34  .

He was no  35    disappointed. But in the course of living, many people are 36   when others do not  37  their expectations. In order to be happy, some expectations must be  38  .These three particular  39   and unhealthy expectations are some of the main causes:

1.Expect too much  40  .When others say,“Thank you,” or in any way to show their gratitude, be  41  . It is a gift!

2.Expect others to make you happy. They simply cannot do that. Make yourself happy and  42   your joy with others.

3. Expect not to be  43   . At times, people will simply not come through for you in the way you need.  44  them and move on.

    Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations and you can begin to expect more  45  right away!

【解析】

試題分析:在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中,人們往往因?yàn)楹芏嗖磺袑?shí)際的期望而感到失望不開心。在文中,作者先是講述了一個小故事以此來證明在人們中普遍存在的這種現(xiàn)象,然后指出人們思想中的三種不現(xiàn)實(shí)不健康的期望,建議人們?nèi)绻胍_心快樂,就要擯棄這些不現(xiàn)實(shí)不該有的期望,那么幸?鞓否R上就會到來。

1.B形容詞辨析。A狡猾的,難對付的;B吸引人的,性感的;C 難看的;D慷慨大方的。從情理推測,男店員應(yīng)該是看到女顧客漂亮迷人所以才會有了這種不該有的荒唐念頭,所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

2.A名詞辨析。A 吻;B工資,薪水;C 美元;D 美分。文章中心是講人們不要有不現(xiàn)實(shí)的期望,由此推測男店員應(yīng)該是做出了超出常理的要求。故可以排除B,C,D選項(xiàng)。選A。句意:男店員自鳴得意的說“僅僅一個吻一碼”。

3.D動詞辨析。A移動,搬動;B強(qiáng)迫;C戰(zhàn)斗,打斗;D帶走。從故事發(fā)展可知女顧客并沒有因?yàn)槟械陠T的要求而退縮,所以從語義搭配上D選項(xiàng)正確。

4.C名詞辨析。A 幸福;B愉快,樂趣;C期望;D勇氣。從上文可知女顧客答應(yīng)了店員的非份要求,所以此時店員是滿懷期待,臉上寫滿了期望。故C選項(xiàng)正確。

5.A副詞辨析。A匆忙地;B緩慢地C耐心地;D好奇地。從情理推測可知男店員為了盡快獲得他所期望的,應(yīng)該是匆忙迅速地做完一切,然后滿臉期望的等待自己所要求的“吻”,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

6.C動詞辨析。A放;安排;B坐;C傾斜;D 帶,拿。forward意思為“向前”從該詞的提示和情理可知店員是前傾身體來接受到他所要求的支付布料的“吻”,所以男店員是湊上前去,故C選項(xiàng)正確。

7.B名詞辨析。A 回報;B支付,報償;C津貼,紅利;D錢。從上文可知他不要錢而是要求女顧客kiss 他來支付布料的錢,所以此處用“payment”表示女顧客該支付給他的東西,故B選項(xiàng)正確。

8.C動詞辨析。A傾向;B 支付;C 指向;D 點(diǎn)頭。從語境可知女顧客應(yīng)該是指著身邊的老人,向男店員說話,所以C選項(xiàng)正確。句意:那位女士迅速從店員手里接過包好的布料,然后指著站在她身邊的老人說。。。

9.A動詞辨析。A微笑;B 祈求;C 揮手;D想到。從故事可知女顧客自信成功而且不動聲色得給了這個男店員一個教訓(xùn),所以此時應(yīng)該是優(yōu)雅得體得微笑著和男店員說話,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

10.D名詞辨析。A 奇跡;B 用途;C好處;D 懷疑。此處的名詞應(yīng)該和句中no的進(jìn)行搭配,no wonder 難怪;no use沒用; no good沒好處; no doubt毫無疑問。所以從故事結(jié)果可知男店員沒有得到錢也沒得到他所期望的吻,他應(yīng)該毫無疑問的感到失望。故D選項(xiàng)正確。

11.B形容詞辨析。A 受到鼓勵的;B失望的;C惱火的;D驚訝的。文章開頭首句A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.就講了人們因?yàn)椴滑F(xiàn)實(shí)的期望而容易失望,然后用文中的小故事來作為例證,所以此處應(yīng)該是失望的,B為正確選項(xiàng)。

12.A動詞短語辨析。A 不辜負(fù);B 違背;C 沒有。。。而勉強(qiáng)應(yīng)付;D希望。從上文的故事和后面作者的建議可知,人們是因?yàn)閯e人不能滿足或者達(dá)不到自己的期望而失望,live up to one’s expectations意思是“達(dá)到某人期望,不辜負(fù)某人期望”,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

13.C動詞辨析。A 設(shè)置,放;B 使得,制作;C 放下,放棄;D完成。從下文Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations and you can begin to expect more…判斷作者應(yīng)該是建議人們?yōu)榱碎_心快樂要放棄不現(xiàn)實(shí)的期望,所以C選項(xiàng)正確。

14.D形容詞辨析。A合理的;B 恰當(dāng)?shù);C 不重要的;D 不現(xiàn)實(shí)的。從上下文可知作者在文中提到的就是人們因?yàn)椴滑F(xiàn)實(shí)的期望和不該有的期望而感到失望,如文章首句A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.和文章末句 Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations 。所以正確選項(xiàng)是D。

15.A名詞辨析。A利潤;B吻;C 感激,欣賞;D 失望。從上文可知此處是作者指出的不該有的期望,所以當(dāng)你幫助了別人時,不要期望得到回報,不要期望因你幫助了別人而獲益,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

16.A形容詞辨析。A高興的;B 難過的;C 生氣的;D 激動的。作者建議人們?yōu)榱丝鞓范鴳?yīng)該放棄那些不該有的不切實(shí)際的期望,所以哪怕是別人一句簡單的‘謝謝’也要感到快樂。A選項(xiàng)正確。

17.B動詞辨析。A 抽出,勻出;B分享,分擔(dān);C 使得,制作;D 控制。從詞的搭配上只有share與with搭配表示“與…分享,分擔(dān)”的意思。此處是指要讓自己快樂,并且要把快樂與別人分享。所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

18.B動詞短語辨析。A放下B讓人失望;C 寫下,拿下;D扔下。文章說的是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的期望是讓人失望的根源,只有l(wèi)et down 意思符合語境,句意:期望別人不要讓自己失望。所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

19.A動詞辨析。A 忘記;B懲罰;C責(zé)怪;D 表揚(yáng)。從上文可知作者建議人們要放棄那些不切實(shí)際的希望,所以對于沒能按照你心意和需要做事的人要忽略掉,忘記掉,這樣才可以使自己開心快樂,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

20.A名詞辨析。A 幸福,快樂;B 鼓勵;C 刺激,興奮;D 驕傲。文章中心就是講人們要為了開心快樂,而必須放棄不現(xiàn)實(shí)的期望,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so    36    at the time may cause us to smile years later.

     One such memory is a phone call I    37    when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local    38    show. Entrants(參加者)were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣誕老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(獎勵) the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

     Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then    41    the phone to me. I didn’t    42    the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a    43    connection to Santa, that was important.

     I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had    44    the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had    45    a wall with crayons(蠟筆). Even I knew that this was not the kind of    46    that Santa would approve.

     Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone(語氣)of    47   , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I    48    that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.

     I wonder what Santa has in    55    for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鯨魚)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(無知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(權(quán)威). To earn my respect, you have to be smart or  55   . I’ll never respect you just because you happen to be in charge or have a degree.
