Recently, we went on a vacation for a week that involved visiting four different ports in the sunny and warm climate of the Caribbean. There were         of laughter, fun and great food. It’s a        thing when you go away that each day of the vacation also        to the end and a return to work.
It was twelve years since we went on a vacation, so this vacation was viewed with        of a great break away from my daily routine. And we weren’t        .
But there was something very different about this vacation compared to those when we worked in a corporative environment. The main       was that when we returned, when the vacation was rapidly drawing to a close, we didn’t have the same feeling of     stress, anxiety and fear.
In this recent vacation, it wasn’t that we        enjoyed the various fun and new activities, the break away from routine, the pleasure of touring different countries and cultures, the         to do what we wanted when we wanted or the leisurely      of each day that was significant. What was significant was that we didn’t       fear the last day of vacation. You see, we know that we were        what we love to do not what we had to do.
The feelings experienced in the last couple of days of vacation were viewed with the same joy as the very first days. In the previous times, the last days of vacation were terrible. We experience an increasing        of stress      we knew that a return to our field of employment was “work” and not        that we loved and thoroughly enjoyed.
The        is this: If you do what you love, it doesn’t matter       that a vacation has to end. If you love what you do you will not        yourself wishing for even a few more days of vacation, or wishing that you could      enjoying this vacation for much, much longer. A love of what you do        you back like a magnet.

解析試題分析:文章大意:外出旅行時人們在行程即將結(jié)束時往往會產(chǎn)生恐懼感,其原因是他們又要重新回到自己不喜歡的工作崗位上。但如果所從事的是自己很喜歡的工作,那么人們會不會還有這種恐懼感呢?
【小題1】A名詞辨析。那是有歡笑、快樂和美食的時光,所以用moments。possibility可能性;situation形勢,情況;way方法,手段。
【小題2】D上下文連串。作者認(rèn)為外出度假本來是一件令人愉快的事情,但人們往往由于對度假結(jié)束以后重新走上工作崗位的恐懼而不能充分享受這種快樂,這是一件很奇怪的事情。funny在這一語境中的含義為“奇怪的,難以解釋的”。
【小題3】B動詞短語辨析。count down倒計時。人們在度假的同時在倒數(shù)距離假期結(jié)束,重新上班的天數(shù)。本句旨在表明人們對假期結(jié)束后重新上班所表現(xiàn)出的恐懼感。
【小題4】A名詞辨析。expectation期望。因此,這次度假被視為脫離我日常工作的一種期盼。
【小題5】C上下文連串。由下文內(nèi)容可知,作者對最近的這次旅行感到很滿意,沒有失望之情。
【小題6】C上下文連串。根據(jù)上文的something very different判斷,此處應(yīng)使用difference(差異,區(qū)別)。
【小題7】A動詞辨析。當(dāng)假期結(jié)束回來的時候,我們沒有以往那種走近壓抑和恐懼的感覺。approach(時間或空間上的)接近,靠近。
【小題8】B。副詞辨析。thoroughly在文中的含義為“徹底地,完全地”。
【小題9】A 名詞辨析。做我們想要做的事情的機(jī)會。opportunity機(jī)會。
【小題10】B。上下文連串。。根據(jù)上文的leisurely(悠閑的,慢悠悠的)判斷,此處所傳達(dá)的信息為“每天悠閑的生活節(jié)奏”。
【小題11】D副詞辨析。重要的是,甚至在假期的最后一天,我們也沒有感到恐懼。even含義為“甚至”。
【小題12】A 短語辨析。結(jié)束旅行后重新回到……,所以用return to。submit to屈服于;turn to求助于;head for朝……前進(jìn)。
【小題13】C名詞辨析。我們越來越感到壓抑。a sense of是固定短語,含義為“……感覺”
【小題14】C 連詞辨析。根據(jù)上下文判斷,空格后面陳述的是原因。
【小題15】D上下文連串。根據(jù)所處語境判斷,此處是說“而不是我們所喜歡并且能得到充分享受的事情”,所以用something。
【小題16】C 名詞辨析。文章接下來對全文進(jìn)行總結(jié)。point在這一語境下的含義為“關(guān)鍵”。
【小題17】A 短語辨析。如果做自己喜歡的事,假期結(jié)束一點(diǎn)兒關(guān)系也沒有。in the least用于否定句中表示強(qiáng)調(diào),含義為“一點(diǎn)兒也不”。
【小題18】B 動詞辨析。如果喜歡自己所做的事,你就不會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在不知不覺地期望假期能多幾天。find oneself doing sth.是固定搭配,用于表達(dá)“發(fā)現(xiàn)自己不知不覺地在做某事”。
【小題19】C 上下文連串。本句根據(jù)下文的for much,much longer進(jìn)行判斷。keep doing sth.繼續(xù)或持續(xù)做某事。
【小題20】A 上下文連串。根據(jù)下文的like a magnet(像磁鐵一樣)判斷,此空應(yīng)使用draw,像磁鐵一樣把你吸引過來。

Do you know how much your children sleep?
According to the National Sleep Foundation,       should sleep twelve to eighteen hours       of every twenty-four. With a gradual        to twelve to fourteen hours for toddlers(初學(xué)走路的孩子) one to three; eleven to thirteen hours for        three to five; and ten to eleven hours for schoolchildren        five to ten.
But things get really      at adolescence.

Sleep studies have shown that the typical teenager does not fall asleep readily before 11 p. m. or later.       many have to get up by 6 a. m. or         to get to school for a class         starts at 7:30 or 8 a.m. More than a few        off during that class, and often the         one as well. Even if awake, they're in no condition to learn much of anything.
In one study, more than 90 percent of teenagers        they slept less than the          nine hours a night, and 10 percent said they slept less than six hours.
      _ James B. Maas, a Cornell University psychologist and Leading sleep researcher, has observed, most teenagers are "walking zombies(僵尸)"        they get far too little sleep.

The world has never faced so much trouble before. People are        within themselves about natural resources, territories and especially religions. In my opinion, laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to       humanity without religions. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world      . The idea may sound over-ambitious, and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep       that laughter and only the laughter can unite the world, holding up a       sense of brotherhood and friendship.
Studies also show that laughter helps your body to do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart,       for those who are unable to perform       exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body—because it’s good for you.

Are supermarkets designed to persuade us to buy more? When you enter a supermarket, the manager knows         than you do how you will behave — which        you will walk, where you will        , what will make you      one product rather than another. When customers go into a shop, they      look to their left       move  towards the right. So supermarket entrances are usually on the left of the building, and the arrangement is to take shoppers       the store ,aisle after aisle, from left to right. Then shoppers will pay attention to all the      .

This gives the        that only healthy food is sold in the shop.       foods that everyone buys, like sugar and tea are put near each other. They are kept in different aisles so customers are taken past other attractive foods        they find what they want. In this way, shoppers are      to buy products that they do not really       .
People walk quickly through      aisles, but they move more slowly in wide aisles and give more attention to the products. One best-selling       for products is at the end of aisles, because shoppers        to turn into the next aisles.
Sweets are often placed at children’s        level at the checkout. While parents are waiting to pay, children        the sweets and put them in the trolley.
Customers buy more when shelves are      than when they are half empty because they feel there is something wrong with those products that are there.

It is a true story behind a well­known piece of art.
In a village near Nuremberg lived a family with eighteen children. Merely to keep food on the table, the father worked eighteen hours a day. Despite their ___ condition, two of the children had a dream to seek their talent for ____ but they knew well their father would never be able to send ____ of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
The two boys finally worked out an agreement. They would toss (扔) a coin. The ____ would work in the nearby mines to support his brother. Albrecht ____ the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, financed his brother, ____ work at the academy was almost a(n ) ____ success. Albecht's woodcut and oils were much ____ than those of his professors and he soon was earning considerable fees ____ his works.
When the young ____ returned home, the family held a festive dinner. Albrecht rose to toast to his beloved brother, “Now, Albert, it is your ____ to seek your dream and l will support you”.
All heads turned to the far end of the table, where Albert sat, tears streaming down his pale face, while he ____ and repeated, “No...no.” Finally, Albert rose and ____  the tears from his cheeks. He said softly, “I ____ go to Nuremberg, brother. It is too late for me. Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and I cannot even hold a glass to ____ your toast.”
Today, Albrecht's masterful works ____ in every great museum in the world, but chances are great ____ you, like most people, are familiar with only one of them. Albrecht drew his brother's abused hands with palms together and the ____ stretched skyward. He called it simply “Hands”, but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and ____ his tribute (敬意) of love “The Praying Hands”.
