试题分析：母爱是伟大的。它深藏在母亲的内心--不会轻易表露出来--和表现在母亲为孩子所作出的牺牲中--它给母亲自己却带来了疤痕。文章中的这个小男孩后来认识到了这一点。
小题1:B 前后照应逻辑推理词义比较 小男孩邀请妈妈去参加学校的第一次家长会。从后文不难看出孩不想要他妈妈去，因为他妈妈脸上有疤痕，可他妈妈却愿意去，这事使得小男孩不快乐(enjoyment)，不激动(excitement)，不吃惊(surprise)，而是很失望(disappointment)，因为这样会让他尴尬，让他蒙羞。
小题2:A 语法规则 此句考查过去将来时态(would)。
小题3:B 常识运用前后照应词义比较 小男孩因为他妈妈的外表--脸上有块疤痕--而感到羞愧(ashamed)，而不是恶心(sick)，害怕(afraid)，疲惫(tired)。后文的the little boy was still embarrassed (尴尬) and hid himself from everyone有所暗示。
小题4:C 词义辨析常识运用逻辑推理 妈妈的整个右脸上是一块明显的疤痕。疤痕在脸上不是包住(include)脸面，不是通过(pass)脸面，也不是遮蔽(shade)脸面，而是直接覆盖/铺在脸面上。include包住, 关住，包含, 包括；pass经过，通过；cover覆盖，铺，往往是物体与物体之间直接接触；shade遮蔽，使变暗，往往强调与物体之间有一定的空隙，使光变暗而形成遮蔽。
小题5:A 前后照应逻辑推理常识运用 小男孩很在乎(care about)，也想过(think about)，但没有听人说过(hear about)，从来就不愿谈论(talk about)妈妈为什么又怎么得上的疤痕。
小题6:A 词义比较逻辑推理 家长会上，妈妈的自然的美貌和亲切的举动给到会的人留下了深刻的印象(impress)。impress使得深刻印象，打动；surprise使惊奇/惊讶；excite使兴奋, 使激动；comfort安慰, 使舒适。
小题7:A 逻辑推理词义比较 但小男孩仍然感到尴尬难堪，而把自己藏(hide)起来，以免被大家看见。hide隐藏，掩饰，强调不被他人看见、发现；protect保护，强调不被他人伤害；separate分开, 隔离，使之不聚在一起；escape逃避, 避免，强调不被他人逮住而免去责任。
小题8:C 词义比较逻辑推理常识运用 他真的躲避了起来，却听到(hear)了妈妈和老师之间的一段对话。注意within(在……的范围内, 不超出……的范围)的意义。hear是先决起始动作，先有了hear，而后才会有understand(明白，了解)、learn(获悉)和remind(提醒，使想起)。
小题9:A 常识运用逻辑推理词义比较 老师询问的是妈妈脸上的疤痕，就肯定是小心谨慎地(carefully)，而决不是、也用不着严肃认真地(seriously)，紧张不安(nervously)，忧虑不安地(anxiously)。
小题10:D 句法结构 此题考查too…to do sth.的结构。
小题11:A 逻辑推理固定搭配 因为火控制不住(out of control)，所以大家就都不敢闯进去救人。out of control不受控制，失去了控制；under control被控制住；in control在控制之下；over不与control搭配。
小题12:C 词义比较逻辑推理 妈妈被坠落的木头撞得失去了知觉(senseless)。helpless无助的, 无能的, 没用的；hopeless没有希望的, 绝望的, 不可救药；senseless不省人事的, 无感觉的；useless无用的, 无效的, 无益的。
小题13:B 词义比较逻辑推理 这个疤痕很丑(ugly)，很严重(serious)，很恐怖(frightening)，这都没有关系，问题是它会持久(lasting)而再也抹不去。
小题14:D 词义比较逻辑推理常识运用 可即便是这样，且直到今天，我忘不了(forget)，我也考虑(consider)了，我也认可(recognize)了，但我从来没有后悔(regret)过我所做的一切。
小题15:B 词义辨析逻辑推理 小男孩把妈妈楼在怀里，他感到了妈妈为他作出的牺牲的重大意义(sense)。honor尊敬，敬意，荣誉，光荣；sense意义，意味，意思；happiness幸福，快乐；pride自豪，骄傲。
点评：母爱是伟大的。它深藏在母亲的内心--不会轻易表露出来--和表现在母亲为孩子所作出的牺牲中--它给母亲自己却带来了疤痕。文章中的这个小男孩后来认识到了这一点。答题前一定要读懂全文，弄清文章要表达的思想，注意前后段落之间的关系。答题中，一定要认真分析，注意选项与上下文的关系，与前后单词的关系。对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成，因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来。答完后再通读一篇文章，看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺，语意连贯。 |
举一反三
One Saturday afternoon, my daughter Alice asked me, “Are all people the same even if they are different in color?”
I thought for a minute, and then I said, “I’ll explain, 36 you can just wait until we make a quick 37 at the grocery store（杂货店）. I have something 38 to show you. ”
At the grocery store, we 39 some apples --- red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Alice, “It’s time to 40 your question.” I put one apple of each 41 on the table. Then I looked at Alice, who had a 42 look on her face.
“People are like apples. They come in all 43 colors, shapes and sizes. On the 44 , some of the apples may not 45 look as the others. ” As I was talking, Alice was 46 each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled（削皮）them, 47 them back on the table, but 48 a different place.
“Okay, Alice, tell me which is which.”
She said, “I 49 tell. They all look the same now. ” “Take a bite of 50 . See if that helps you 51 which one is which. ”
She took 52 , and then a huge smile came across her face. “People are 53 like apples! They are all different, but once you 54 the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside. ”
She totally 55 it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.

“The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.
A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy, they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness makes error a fault.”
To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “begins with foolishness and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.
If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking too.
小题1:What’s the main idea of the passage?| A．Self- control is important for a man | | B．We should learn to be strong. | | C．A man who keeps cool won’t lose any game. | | D．The great heroes in history knew how to control themselves. |
小题2:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?| A．If you are mad, the gods will fail you. | | B．If you lose your temper first, gods will fail you first. | | C．If you can’t control yourself, you will be crazy. | | D．If the gods want to fail you, they will make you mad first. |
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true, according to passage?| A．The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself. | | B．You will make a small mistake serious if you don’t keep cool. | | C．You must measure a man’s strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him. | | D．Anger begins with foolishness and ends with regret. |
小题4:Which of the following can’t help you avoid anger, according to the passage?| A．Being calm in arguing | | B．Checking your temper or anger by speaking low. | | C．Keeping your mouth shut | | D．Trying to make the other angry first. |
小题5:If a man lacks self-control,______________________________| A．He will always be controlled by all the people all the time. | | B．He will began with foolish everything every day and lack the strength. | | C．Moral strength and nerve of character will lack as well. | | D．He will have power of gover himself. |

A well-known speaker started his speech by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, “What is this piece of 1 and is it worth anything?”
Hands started going up. “It is a $20 bill, encashable(可兑现的) in international and national 2 .”replied one of the 3 who raised their hands.
The speaker continued, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He continued to crumple the 20 dollar bill using both his hands. He then 4 it and asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.
“Well,” he said, “what if I do this?” He dropped it on the 5 and started to step on it. He picked up the crumpled and 6 bill and said, “Now, who still wants it?”
7 went back into the air. “I think this bill is still 8 its value”, said a young man in an unsure 9 . “We can still use the bill to 10 goods worth 20 dollars,” said the other people.
“My friends, you have all learned a very 11 lesson in this exercise that we are just through with. You’ve 12 that I can crumple the $20 bill during the process as the effects can be seen clearly. 13 , no matter what I did to the piece of paper, you were 14 in your mind that my actions did not actually decrease its 15 . It was still worth $20.”
“Many times in our lives, we feel like as if we are 16 , crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are 17 ; but no matter what happened or what will happen, please 18 , you will never lose your value.” Values that you keep in your heart will always 19 you from a difficult situation.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or not, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE.” “You are 20 — don’t ever forget it.”

It is said that usually people learn from their experiences and the mistakes they make throughout their lives. This is correct because life teaches us what is correct to do and what is not.
Let’s consider a mistake that one has made while trying to learn to drive. It is true that, for a beginner, it is common to make mistakes, but after doing something wrong once, twice or three times, it is quite impossible to make the same mistake a fourth time. Everyone tries their best in order to improve their skills and they will be very pleased to notice that these improvements really happen.
On the other hand, being successful in everything he does, one cannot know what failure means. He would always see only the best side of things and it would be difficult for him to face the difficulties to come in the future. Here we can mention the case of a very successful football player, who has known what fame (名声) is from the very beginning of his career. We have to admit that most of his luck originates from the great talent that he was born with. But some fellow players can also work to achieve the same thing because they make mistakes in their games and they learn from each mistake that they make.
In the end, we can say that one needs to make mistakes in life in order to better appreciate things. And at the same time, mistakes teach us how important it is to fight for something we wish for in life. Of course, moments of happiness will come in return when we see the changes or improvements.
小题1:The author mentions learning driving in the second paragraph to ______________.| A．make a comparison | | B．explain that learning is a slow process | | C．show that driving is a very difficult skill | | D．prove that success results from failure |
小题2:What is the author’s attitude towards someone that is always successful at something?| A．He thinks they are lucky. | B．He is bored with them. | | C．He wants to learn from them. | D．He believes their success is a bad thing. |
小题3:Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage? |
