Alicia was a young woman who liked to exercise for her health. In fact, she walked five kilometers before 26 every morning, and went swimming once a week at the swimming pool. She didn’t smoke and never 27 . She didn’t eat chocolate. She didn’t eat sweet and
fatty food, 28 . She weighted herself every day.
One day Alicia was on her daily walk when she saw a 29 sitting in a rocking chair under a tree. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking, 30 he looked very happy.
He smiled at her and said, “Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”
He had a wide smile 31 his face, and his eyes shone with happiness. But Alicia saw that he did not have teeth.
“Good morning!” replied Alicia. “Yes, it is a lovely day.”
Alicia thought he 32 very old and wise. She thought he must be at least 90 years old! She decided to ask him about the 33 of a happy old age.”
“I hope you don’t 34 me asking,” she said, “but what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do 35 I am your age.”
The man in the rocking chair said, “My secret for 36 ? I smoke twenty packets of cigarettes every week, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers and chocolates whenever I want. I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit at home every day.”
Alicia was 37 . She didn’t expect the man to give her an answer like that. She wondered how the man got to be so old when he did 38 wrong. She thought he should be 39 and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong. Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life 40 eating well or doing lots of exercise.
“How old are you?” she asked.
“It’s my birthday today,” said the man. “I’m forty-seven!”

解析
【主旨大意】本文讲述一个注重饮食健康、也爱好晨炼的女孩见到一个"老人"，年龄虽大，看起来却很快乐的。通过交谈得知，这位不注重饮食和锻炼的"老人"却只有47岁。
小题1: B由时间状语"every morning"及常识可知，她是在每天早饭前进行散步五公里。
小题1: B第一段中介绍Alicia健康的生活方式和饮食习惯，所以这一句的意思是"她不吸烟也不喝酒"。
小题1: C either用于否定句句末;too用于肯定句句末;also用于肯定句句中。故选C。
小题1: A从下文的描述可知，he is a man。
小题1: B由上文：他看起来又瘦又弱，并且手一直在晃动，与后文的"happy"形成转折关系。
小题1:D on one’s face在某人的脸上，是固定词组。
小题1: B look系动词，看起来，old and wise 做系动词look的表语。句意"他看起来年纪很大而且很博学。
小题1: A从下文"but what is your secret for being so happy at your age?" 可以判断用secret。
小题1: B句意：我希望你不要介意我的提问。mind sb.doing sth.介意某人做某事。stand意为"忍受、站立"， allow 意为"允许"，enjoy意为"享受"，这三项都不符合句意。
小题1: A 【句意：我希望当我在你这个年龄时。when 当……时候，引导时间状语从句；since后面一般跟"过去时间"；"for+时间段"往往用于完成时； though引导让步状语从句。
小题1: C根据上一段第二句话"what’s your secret for being so happy at your age?"可以看出是"快乐的秘密"。happy的名词形式为happiness.故选C。
小题1: A由下文两句话可知，对于"老人"的回答，她很惊奇。
小题1: C词义辨析。根据倒数第四段中这位老人说的话，可以知道Alicia 认为他做的每一件事都对身体不好。
小题1: D Alicia认为这位老人的这种生活方式、饮食习惯会使他生病或不高兴。angry 生气的，serious严肃的，quiet 安静的，sick生病的。
小题1: C Alicia以为他90岁左右，她误以为不用吃的很好或不用进行很多的锻炼就能够生活长寿、快乐。 |
举一反三
Mr. Williams had a lot of boats, and the fishermen borrowed them from him. Mr. Smith and his son, Daniel, borrowed one yesterday. They fished in some places, but caught nothing. Then they found a very good place, and caught about thirty fish there in an hour.
Then it was late, and Mr. Smith said, “Go back now, Daniel.”
Daniel said, “I’m going to come here again tomorrow.”
“Me, too,” said his father, “But how are we going to find the place again?”
Daniel said, “That’s easy. Look! I’ve made a mark on the side of the boat.”
His father laughed and said, “No, that’s foolish! Mr. Williams doesn’t lend us the same boat every time!”

小题1:Mr. Smith went fishing with his son yesterday.
小题2: At first, Mr. Smith and his son caught only a few fish.
小题3:After they found a new place, they caught about twenty fish in an hour.
小题4: Daniel made a mark on the boat in order to find the same place the next day.
小题5:Not only the son but also the father was foolish. |
