I went to a group activity, “Sensitivity Sunday” which was to make us more 36
题型：不详难度：来源：
I went to a group activity, “Sensitivity Sunday” which was to make us more 36 the problem faced by disabled people. We were asked to “ 37 a disability” for several hours one Sunday. Some member 38 chose the wheel chair. Other wore sound-blocking earplugs (耳塞) or blindfolds (眼罩).
Just sitting in the wheelchair was a 39 experience, I had never considered before how 40 it would be to use one. As soon as I sat down my 41 made the chair begin to roll. Its wheel were not 42 . Then I wondered where to put my 43 , It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest into 44 , I took my first uneasy look at what was to be my only means of 45 for several hours. For disabled people, “adopting a wheelchair” is not a temporary(临时的) 46 .
I tried to find a 47 position and thought it might be restful, 48 kind of nice to be 49 around for a while. Looking around, I 50 would have to handle the thing myself! My hands started to ache as I 51 the heavy wheels, I came to know that controlling the 52 of the wheelchair as not going to be 53 task,
My wheelchair experiment was soon 54 . It made a deep impression on me. A few hours of “disability” gave me only a taste of the 55 , both physical and mental, that disabled people must overcome.

解析
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者参加了一次周日残疾体验活动，通过对自己几个小时使用轮椅的详细记叙，说明了残疾人生活的不易。文章的最后给我们这样的启示：残疾人必须要克服心理和身体上的挑战。
小题1:根据空白处后面的the problems faced by disabled people可知，活动的目的是为了“意识”到残疾人面临的问题。curious about … 好奇……；aware of… 意识到……； interested in… 对……感兴趣； careful with… 注意……；照顾……。
小题2:根据下文some members chose…others wore…可知作者被要求“挑选”一种残疾，而不是“治愈、阻止或分析”。
小题3:根据最后一段第一句中的my wheelchair experiment可知，作者选择使用轮椅。有些同学显然是“像我”选择了轮椅。
小题4:根据后句I had never considered before how… 和这段最后一句的感慨，可知作者认为坐在轮椅上就是一次“学习”的经历，而不是工作经历或令人满意、令人放松的经历。
小题5:根据第二段的全段描述，活动前作者从未意识到使用轮椅有多么的“笨拙”，而不是使用轮椅有多么方便、讨厌或兴奋。很多学生选择了A，一是因为没读懂全文，二是不熟悉awkward的意思。
小题6:状语从句部分as soon as I sat down提示，轮子动起来发生的时间是当作者一坐下去的时候，显然能让轮子动起来的不可能是作者的身高或技巧，而是作者的体重。force也有“力”的意思，但表示可以做功的各种力，范围太大，所以最佳答案是D，因为重量也是重力，使句子意思更清楚、更生动。
小题7:后句then提示：本句是对上句轮子为什么会转动的解释，显然因为轮子未被锁住，而不是“修理或抓住”，更不是因为轮子没动力装置。
小题8:根据下文“费了好长时间我才让金属footrest （脚蹬）归位可知，这时的作者不知道把自己的脚放在哪里，毕竟是健康人在模拟残疾人的生活。
小题9:put …into place有“把……归位”的意思。作者是健康人，他/她刚坐到轮椅上不会驾轻就熟，所以即便将脚蹬归位这样简单的动作，竟然用了很长时间。
小题10:作者参加的是使用轮椅几小时的体验活动，而轮椅是一种交通工具，故最佳答案是C。means of transportation 交通工具。
小题11:根据第一段可知，作者参加的是残疾体验活动，使用轮椅只不过是个实验，但对残疾人而言，使用轮椅可不再是个实验，而是一辈子的生活，更不是临时的“探索、教育或娱乐”。
小题12:根据and后面的thought it might be restful可知，作者努力要找一个舒服的姿势，从而被人推着四处逛逛是件让人放松的事，所以要找的不是“灵活的、安全的或开始的”的姿势。我努力找一个舒服的姿势，并想着这样被带着去四处逛一会也许会让人感到宁静，甚至有些美妙。
小题13:相比空白处前面的restful，空白处后面的kind of nice显然递进了一步，所以最佳答案是even，意思是“甚至”。yet 然而；just仅仅；still仍。这三个选项显然不合乎前后的逻辑关系。
小题14:上文的“adopting a wheelchair”提示，作者坐着轮椅，自然希望被人推，而不是开车接送或引导，更不会是被人带领四处逛逛。本题学生易错选A，是因为句中的around给人的show sb. around…是固定短语的错觉。
小题15:通过四下张望，“我”自己得搞定这件事是作者意识到的，而不是“建议、同意或承认”的。
小题16:上句中提到作者意识到没人帮他推轮椅，只能自己搞定这件事。言外之意是，作者得让轮椅动起来。轮椅的轮子自然得转动，而不是被拎起、摁压或抓住。作者的手在轮椅转动起来的同时，开始疼，因为用手拨动轮椅才能转啊。
小题17:轮椅是一种交通工具，而交通工具最重要的是掌控方向，这是生活常识。所以，本题的正确答案是C。
小题18:上句提到，拨动沉重的轮子的时候，作者的手开始疼。既然轮子重，手又疼，可推断拨动轮椅不是件容易的工作。
小题19:本题出现在最后一段的第一句话，这段正是文章的总阶性的段落，作者要感慨残疾人的不易，自然要到体验结束，而不是实验被遗忘、重复或很快实施的时候。
小题20:A：弱点；B：焦虑；C：挑战；D：疾病。“我”只是“品尝”了一下残疾人必须要克服的心理和身体上的挑战。 |
举一反三
The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby. Almost from the moment it is born, the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large, warm, and soft object in its environment, particularly if that object also gives it milk. After a week or so, however, the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother” ---- the real mother or the mother-substitute(母亲替代物）.
During the first two weeks of its warmth is perhaps the most important psychological（心理的） thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes ---- one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire. If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth model was cool, for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites. Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother
Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact（接触的） comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers’ skins, putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can. Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body. Wire doesn’t“rub”as well as does soft wire cloth. Prolonged（长时间的）“contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.
According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a baby’s love for its mother is trust. If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be. It screams in terror and curls up into a fury little ball. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the bay rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes back for a deep embrace（拥抱）as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding on to its “mother.”
50. Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life?
A. Warmth B. Milk C. Contact D. Trust
小题1:After the first two weeks of their life, baby moneys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is __. | A．larger in size | B．closer to them | | C．less frightening and less disturbing | D．more comfortable to rub against |
小题2:What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”?| A．Attention | B．Softness | C．Confidence | D．Interest |
小题3:It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure,_____________.| A．it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys | | B．it spends more time screaming to get rewards | | C．it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting | | D．it cares less about whether its mother is still around |
小题4:The main purpose of the passage is to______________.| A．give the reasons of the experiment | | B．present the findings of the experiment | | C．introduce the method of the experiment | | D．describe the process of the experiment |

When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.
For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的).
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated (复杂的).
My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.
I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband come home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this what satisfied her.
We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’re so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.
Happiness isn’t about what happens to—it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have , but enjoying what we do possess.
小题1:As people grow older, they ____.| A．feel it harder to experience happiness | | B．associate their happiness less with others | | C．will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness | | D．tend to believe responsibility means happiness |
小题2:What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 5 and 6?| A．She cares little about her own health. | | B．She enjoys the freedom of traveling. | | C．She is easily pleased by things in daily life. | | D．She prefers getting pleasure from housework. |
小题3:What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?| A．Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness. | | B．Psychologists’ opinion is well proved by Grandma’s case. | | C．Grandma often found time for social gatherings. | | D．Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life. |
小题4:People who equal happiness with wealth and success ______.| A．consider pressure something blocking their way | | B．stress their right to happiness too much | | C．are at a loss to make correct choices | | D．are more likely to be happy |
小题5:What can be concluded from the passage?| A．Happiness lies between the positive and the negative | | B．Each man is the master of his own fate. | | C．Success leads to happiness. | | D．Happy is he who is content. |

There is a virtue (美德)in China－Respecting the 36 and care for the young”. About the above two aspects, we will discuss the former one in this passage.
Why should we 37 the old? because they are ahead of us in age, in wisdom and in experience. Our elders have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 38 everything to their kindness and love.
When we show them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 39 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 40 our own love and gratitude to them. 41 , elders have also been through all the years you are 42 and know a little more about the world than you do.
It is 43 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 44 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 45 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 46 .
With changing times and 47 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 48 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 49 their voices.
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 50 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 51 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 52 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 53 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 54 disadvantage.
When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 55 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.

This Mother’s Day will be the 8th year I have spent without my own mother. She passed away less than a month before Mother’s Day in the year 2000. She had been ill for almost two years, and I didn’t cry when she died, or at her funeral, but on that first Mother’s Day without her. On that day, I realized that this person I loved and depended on was gone forever.
She still lives in family memories, in the thoughts of her friends and co-workers, in the values she had instilled(灌输) in her children, and in the lovely flower gardens that she had so carefully tended.
She loved her gladioli and irises. Each fall she would dig the bulbs out of the soil and carefully wrap them in paper. The bulbs would be stored until the following spring when they would be replanted. It seemed like a lot of effort to me, but each year her flower garden was more glorious than the year before. She put the same hard work into caring for her family, instilling in her children a sense of justice and fair play, compassion, and strong moral values so that we blossomed.
Share anecdotes about your mother’s life at your Mother’s Day party. Too often, we avoid speaking of those loved ones who have passed away, fearful that we will unearth sad feelings. It doesn’t have to be that way. Sharing fond memories and stories of the life we shared with her can be a healing process that binds（捆绑）the family together.
My mother passed away when her oldest grandchild was only eight years old. Children will enjoy sharing pictures and stories of the grandmother they may have never known or have little memory of. Sharing anecdotes to pass on to the next generation will give children a feeling of family history and continuity, and may be one of the best ways to honor our mothers and grandmothers who have gone before us.
小题1:What does the underlined words “passed away” ( in Paragraph 1)mean?| A．died | B．continued | C．started | D．lasted |
小题2:On the first Mother’s Day after mum died the author realized_______ .| A．mum had been dead for a long time | B．mum had suffered a lot from the illness | | C．it was true that mum had been dead | D．it was impossible to depend on mum |
小题3:From the third paragraph we can infer that mum_______ .| A．loved her gladioli and irises | B．showed kindness to all her children | | C．taught the children to plant patiently | D．had a good influence on the author |
小题4:At the Mother’s Day party people don’t mention their lost mums only because_______ .| A．they are simply afraid of causing sad feelings | | B．they have forgotten their mums completely | | C．they don’t love their mums any longer | | D．they think their mums have passed away |
小题5:In order to show honor to our mothers and grandmothers we can _____ .| A．spend the Mother’s Day with our children | | B．share the stories of them with the children | | C．hold the Mother’s Day party every year | | D．plant beautiful flowers in the family garden |

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity(永恒),” God smiled, “What questions do you have（1）_________for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they (2)__________ bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children（3）_________.

And then I asked, “(8)__________ a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to(9) ___________?” He answered, “To learn they （10）__________make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves love（11）____________. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that it only（12）___________ a few seconds to open profound（深的） wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal （13）__________. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is the one who need the （14）___________. To learn that there are people who love them（15）____________, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their(16)___________. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and （17）___________ it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one（18）____________, but they must also forgive themselves.”
“Thank you for your（19）___________,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like（20）_____________ to know?” God smiled and said, “Just to know that I am always here.”
