解析

试题分析:文章讲述了童年时期的无忧无虑,而到了长大后就不得不为生活和工作努力,这样才能过上幸福的生活。
小题1:根据句意,童年是一个无需承担任何责任的时期。用when来引导定语从句,在从句中做时间状语。
小题2:It作为形式主语,that所引导的从句作为主语,所引导的从句为主语从句。
小题3:根据本句句意,在他的人生中不可能有别的时期能像这个时期一样被给与很多,而无需做任何事情来回报。句中要用被动形式,故填be given
小题4:前文讲到孩子也有自己的痛楚,他是不自由的,不能做他想做的事情。
小题5:根据句意,他被不断的叮咛不要做一些事情,或者是因为做了事情而受到惩罚,故填for表原因。
小题6:如果他想过的舒服的话就必须工作努力的自己奋斗,comfortably舒适地
小题7:如果他花费很多时间像以前孩子的时候那样玩,spend  some time doing sth 花费时间做某事。
小题8:他会变得很饥饿,go hungry 变得饥饿,系表结构。
小题9:keeps与本句中的谓语动词works,has构成并列谓语动词,都用第三人称单数形式。
小题10:在社会上赢得自己的地位,society社会,名词形式;social社会的,形容词。

When I was learning calligraphy my teacher told me a story.
A calligrapher taught handwriting. One of his students who often practised handwriting with old sheets of newspapers complained that he made very little progress though he had learned it with the calligrapher for a long time. His teacher said to him, “Try to use the best paper. Maybe you’ll write better. ”
 The student did as he was told. It really worked. He made headway not long afterwards and felt curious. He asked his teacher about the reason. The calligrapher answered, “When you used old newspapers to practice handwriting,you would think you were writing a draft(草稿).  It didn’t matter if you wrote badly as old newspapers were plenty in supply. In that case you wouldn’t pay much attention to it. Now you use the best paper you’ll treasure it. Each time you write you feel strongly about the rarity (稀少) of chances and you’ll devote to it with all your heart and soul; you’ll do the handwriting much more attentively than otherwise practising it. Of course you’ve made rapid progress.”
Indeed,we spend our ordinary days just as they are worthless “old newspapers”. We don’t care if we scrawl and waste them, thinking that they will come endlessly --- those “old newspapers” are inexhaustible. In such a mood we may each day pass by opportunities but fail to catch any of them.
Life is not a military exercise but an actual war in which real weapons are used. In everyday life there’s no chance for us to draw a draft. That’s because what we call “draft” actually is the answer sheet we write that cannot be changed. Every day of our life is something new. Let us take every day as a sheet of best paper.
小题1:The calligrapher in the story told the student to write on the best paper because he thought _______.
A.the student would practice more carefully on the best paper
B.it was comfortable to write on the bet paper
C.the student had enough money to buy the best paper.
D.the student could write more on the best paper.
小题2:The student didn’t make much progress at first because _________.
A.he regarded his writing on old newspaper just as a draft
B.he was too poor to buy better paper to write
C.he didn’t follow his teacher’s advice
D.he was not used to the calligrapher’s teaching manner
小题3:We learn from the passage that _________.
A.the student finally gave up
B.the student made rapid progress by persisting more carefully
C.the calligrapher was strict with his students
D.old newspaper is not useful
小题4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.What teachers say is always true.
B.Success calls for attentiveness.
C.Handwriting is easy to practice.
D.New things are always better than old ones.
小题5:The writer wants to tell us that _________.
A.there are some good ways to practice handwriting
B.life is like old newspaper
C.we should learn from the student in the story
D.life will not give us a chance to draw a draft

In the next hour my father   47  the shoebox into an impressive valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts   48  to what I considered all the right places.

I answered him with a hug.

Minimalism (简约主义) is a term that describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is reduced to its most basic features.
As for me, minimalism functions well not in art or design, but in my daily life.
When I was packing for university, I found it extremely difficult to let go of some of the things I owned. I knew I couldn’t take everything with me, but I kept asking myself “how could I possibly throw this away?”, “what if I need it one day?”, and “what about all of the memories?” Now that I’ve moved, and left that stuff behind, I don’t even miss it. Whether or not I got rid of it, it barely makes a bit of difference to me now.
I’ve learned that over time people forget, or their need for a particular object eventually disappears. Either they store it away or they get rid of it.
You might think nostalgically(怀旧的) about the toys you cared about when you were a child, but what is making you smile now is not the thing itself but the memory of it. 1’ve heard it a hundred times, “you don’t need things to make you happy.” It takes something life-changing like moving across the country to realize how true this is.
Speaking of which, for a lot of people, minimalism is about able to move. It’s about being able to go almost anywhere at any time because you don’t have many possessions to carry. When you keep things you don’t need they become a burden that ties you to a place. Moving to university was a good time to let go of a lot of stuff. And when I visit for the holidays, I’ll probably get rid of even more, to lighten the burden.
Of course there are exceptions. There are some things that are irreplaceable, very rare or expensive or we simply love and cherish for some reason or another, since we are humans. But after we keep those, how much is left that we don’t really need?
Hence, minimalism. And why does minimalism bring happiness? That was a bit of a roundabout way of saying that, it’s because what really makes me happy is freedom. And the key to freedom is minimalism because minimalism reduces our attachment to things.
Attachment to too many objects creates a great mess and can severely hold back our freedom to do whatever we want, while minimalism helps us start new projects, move, travel, learn new things, work, expand, be debt-free, be healthy – really living life to our full potential.
I left the nest to fly onwards and upwards, I can’t do it with old things weighing me down. And that is why I have adopted minimalism with open arms.
小题1:In paragraph l, the writer gives the definition of minimalism to      .
A.introduce a topicB.present his own idea
C.describe a sceneD.offer an argument
小题2:Many people don’t want to let go of some of their belongings because       .
A.they haven’t had any life-changing experiences
B.they fear their memories will be gone with the thrown-away stuff
C.they hope to live life to their full potential by storing things away
D.they may have to change their lifestyle because of the loss of them
小题3:Which of the following is NOT the reason why the writer favors “minimalism” in life?                          
A.It takes the burden off her while she is moving.
B.It reduces her attachment to her personal things.
C.It enables her to gain the freedom that she desires.
D.It helps her to realize how true life is.
小题4:By saying “there are exceptions”, the writer means       
A.little is left if we keep what we cherish most in our life
B.minimalism should be practised accordingly in different situations
C.minimalism is a method difficult to employ in reality
D.life is full of exceptions so it’s difficult to preserve what we value
小题5:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Minimalism brings happiness.
B.Minimalism is applied in many fields.
C.Minimalism makes people think nostalgically.
D.Minimalism is about able to move.
