Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been c
题型：不详难度：来源：
A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the 18 . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five-member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup(替补). 19 , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a 20 and the top eight scorers(得分者) would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a 21 way to decide.
Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up(阵容). Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a few hours, all the 22 on the team were chosen except one. Carla and I tied(打成平手) for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition 23 the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.
Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead(领先). 24 I saw the look on Carla"s face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted 25 even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla 26 , just by a little bit. She felt sorry for my not being on the team as she 27 she would be on the show. And since I will go as backup, I’ll still have the fun of 28 the show up close.
Was I cheating(欺骗) by not trying as hard as I could? I don’t think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn’t 29 it. It won’t hurt the team 30 Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是作者和最好的朋友Carla都喜欢Smart Aleck这个比赛，他们的学校正好有机会可以去参加这个比赛。但是报名的人数太多，需要进行一次比赛来挑选。在最后我和Carla要竞争一个名额的时候，我故意把这次机会让给了她。作者觉得让自己的好朋友快乐，她做得对。
小题1:考查代词及语境的理解。句意：几周前，我们的校长Gaudi先生告诉我们，我们学校被选去参加一个比赛，这是我和我最好的朋友Carla都喜欢的一个游戏比赛。all 三个或三个以上都；both 两者都；neither 两者都不；none三个或以上都不。根据句意可知，Carla和我都喜欢这个比赛。故选B。
小题2:考查名词及语境的理解。句意：Carla想象力很丰富，我知道很多历史方面的知识，因此我们认为我们是参赛队中的好的选择。choice 选择；friend 朋友；leader 领导；fan迷。根据前面这句话的意思可知，Carla和我都喜欢这样的游戏比赛，而且我们也都有各自擅长的方面，所以我们觉得我们可以被选到队中。故选A。
小题3:考查名词及语境的理解。句意：几天后，Gaudi先生跟对这次比赛感兴趣的人开了一个会。course 课程；work 工作；trip 旅行；show表演，竞赛。根据上文中a game show which my best friend Carla and I…可知，这里说的是我们学校将要参加的这次游戏比赛。故选D。
小题4:考查副词及语境的理解。句意：Gaudi先生告诉我们，这次比赛需要一支五人一组的队，还需要三名替补。不幸的是，很多同学都参加了会议。unluckily 不幸的是；luckily 幸运的是；sadly 悲伤的是；hopefully 充满希望地。根据句意可知，参加比赛的人只需要八个，但是想参加这次比赛的人数非常多。所以应该是不幸的是。故选A。
小题5:考查名词及语境的理解。句意：Gaudi先生说，我们将会进行一个竞争，前八名将会组成参赛队和替补。direction 方向，指导；discussion 讨论；competition 竞赛，竞争；conference 会议。根据上文的内容可知，现在有很多人都想参加这次比赛，但是只需要八个人。所以这里要进行一次竞赛，决出前八名。故选C。
小题6:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：大家都同意这是一个选人的公平的办法。special 特别的，特殊的；hard 艰难的，努力的；fair 公平的；funny有趣的，滑稽的。根据文意可知，这种选人的办法是公平的。故选C。
小题7:考查名词及语境的理解。句意：几小时后，还差一个，队里的成员就都选出来了。member成员； rule 规则；name 名字；order命令。根据文意可知，这个竞赛是选择参赛的队员。故选A。
小题8:考查介词及语境的理解。句意：我和Carla之间要进行一场一对一的比赛。of ……的；on 在……上面；between 在两者之间；among在三者或以上中间。根据文意可知，我和Carla两个人要进行一场比赛，应该是两人之间。故选C。
小题9:考查副词及语境的理解。句意：这时，我看到了Carla脸上的表情。still 仍然；never 从不，从来没有；then 当时，那时，然后；again再一次，又。根据句意可知，在我就要领先的时候，我看到了Carla的表情。故选C。
小题10:考查代词及语境的理解。句意：我想参加Smart Aleck这个比赛，Carla更想。us 我们，宾格形式；it 它；me 我；her她，她的。这里的it代指的就是上面所说的Smart Aleck这个比赛。故选B。
小题11:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：因此，当我下一个问题开始的时候，我退缩了，让Carla赢了。wait 等待；turn 转，转向；move 搬走，移动；win赢。根据这句话的意思可知，我知道Carla 比我更想参加这个比赛，因此我故意退缩，让Carla赢了。故选D。
小题12:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：她意识到她将能去参加这个比赛了，同时她也为我没能在这个参赛队中表示抱歉。accept 接受；realize 意识到；consider 考虑，认为；decide决定。根据句意可知选B。
小题13:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：因为我可以做替补，所以我仍然可以近距离的看这场比赛。see 看见，看；refuse 拒绝；ask 问，请；hear听见。根据句意可知，作者虽然没能被选到参赛队中，但是作为替补，她仍然可以近距离的去观看比赛。故选A。
小题14:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：没有人注意，Carla和我也没有说。mean 意思；plan 计划；need 需要；say说。根据文意可知，我故意输给Carla的事情，谁都没有注意到，我和Carla两个人也都没有说这件事。故选D。

举一反三
Here is some advice on how to build up reflexes when you only have basic words and grammar.
Relax!
No one is checking you except yourself! Look at each communication experience as an adventure. Try to relax first when you speak English. You will pick up on small details.
Context(上下文) is your friend.
What is context？ It means the situation in which something happens and that helps to understand it. (2)We can make good guesses about what is being said by using the context. It will be easy when you think about the context. You will feel much more comfortable and confident if you remember that.
Ask questions what you want to know.
After you have proudly asked for tickets at the train station, the booking-office clerk (售票员) spoke a long sentence to you about the place and the time. You may be a little unclear or have only understood a part of it. However, you can ask questions about what you want to know, such as, “Did you say…?” and “Would you repeat that more slowly?”. So that you can easily move the communication forward. Use body language.
Use body language to go with your words when you __(1)___ to learn a __(1)_____ language. The person you are speaking to only wants to understand you and will be carefully listening to you. As you become more proficient (熟练的) in your second language, you will depend(依靠) more on the language and less on body language. But there is no shame for a beginner.

In fact, we insisted so much that my father had no choice but to agree. “Yes!” he finally said.“This year we will have a Christmas tree.” Our mouths dropped open at the thought of having our own tree. Then Dad said,“I’ll do it myself.”
We followed him around the house as he gathered up the materials he would need, We all sat close to him, carefully watching everything he did. He passed the thread around the first nail on the corner of a box, then back down to the second nail on the box, and up again to the nail, until right there before our eyes a green Christmas tree began to take shape. He carefully did the same with all of the 50 nails in the box and when he had finished, he said,“Now you can decorate it.”
I don’t remember where the decorations came from, but they were red and small and to us they just looked so beautiful and perfect for our tree. When we finished decorating it, we proudly invited all our friends over to see our Christmas tree. We were so happy, not only because it looked so pretty, but because my father had made it himself. It truly was the most beautiful Christmas tree we had ever seen.
Years later, things got better and Dad was able to buy a proper Christmas tree which we would happily decorate. However, my sisters and I will never forget the night when we got our first Christmas tree.

The study was carried out by Professor Joseph Forgas at the University of New South Wales.“People in a bad mood paid more attention to the people and things around them than happy people .Happy people were more likely to believe anything they were told,”said Forgas
For the study, Forgas and his team did a lot of experiments. During the experiments, they made the participants(参加者) feel happy or sad by watching films and thinking about good or bad things of the past.
In one of the experiments, happy and sad participants were asked to judge whether some wrong things were true or not. The results showed that people in a bad mood were less likely to believe that these things were true.
People in a bad mood were also less likely to make mistakes when they were asked to remember the things that they saw.
