Everyone has his own attitude 61 getting old. The night before her eighth birthday, I found my daughter Lizzy sat on her bed 62 (weep).“I love being seven,”she cried.“I don’t want to be eight!”I held her in my arms and explained that 63 was going to be even better to be eight than being seven. I told her how much I loved her and 64 a wonderful birthday she was going to have. 65 (eventual) she was comforted. It’s always strange 66 (tell) that you are a year older, even when you aren’t very old. Now I’m in my early 60s, and I don’t always recognize the face in the mirror, 67 something has changed the way that I think. The process of aging increasingly interests and amazes me, annoys and irritates me, and sometimes still makes me 68 (frighten), too, but much, much less than it used to. There is 69 ongoing sadness at the absence of the friends and family members 70 have died before me.

1.towards/to

2.weeping

3.it

4.what

5.Eventually

6.to be told

7.but

8.frightened

9.an

10.who

【解析】

試題解析：本文講述作者對(duì)于變老的態(tài)度。

1. an antitude to/toward… 對(duì)…有態(tài)度，根據(jù)句意是每個(gè)人都對(duì)變老有自己的態(tài)度，故填towards/to；

2. sb.doing sth.發(fā)現(xiàn)某人正在干某事，根據(jù)句意是我發(fā)現(xiàn)女兒坐在床上正在哭，故填weeping

3. was going to be even better to be eight than being seven.后半部分to be eight than being seven.應(yīng)是真正的主語(yǔ)，因此用it做形式主語(yǔ)，故填 it

4.

5. was comforted 要修飾動(dòng)詞，只有用副詞，故要將eventual 變?yōu)楦痹~形式，故填Eventually

6. always strange 66 (tell) that you are a year older 應(yīng)是被告知長(zhǎng)大了一歲，另固定句型it is…to do …故將to do變?yōu)閠o be done表示被動(dòng)，故填to be told

7. has changed the way that I think 一些事改變了我的想法，可知前文與后文應(yīng)是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，應(yīng)用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞，故填but

8. still makes me 68 (frighten)使我感到驚恐，此處應(yīng)用形容詞，故將動(dòng)詞frighten變?yōu)樾稳菰~，故填frightened

9. is 69 ongoing sadness 用在ongoing前面修飾sadness，應(yīng)用an，故填an

10. members 70 have died before me 后句做family members的定語(yǔ)從句，在從句中做主語(yǔ)，表示…的人，故填who

考點(diǎn)：考查固定短語(yǔ)，定語(yǔ)從句，詞形變換等

How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses （感覺(jué)） how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track（跟蹤） your performance on your phone.

The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless （無(wú)線的） connection.

The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.

The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications （設(shè)備）on your phone, so developers could, for example, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart and fun,” Serval says.

Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.

The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, from $99 to $199, and the U.S. is the first target market. ( 目標(biāo)市場(chǎng))

1.All of the following statements are wrong except ____________.

A. It can sense how users brush their teeth.

B. It can track users’ school performance.

C. It can check users’ fear of seeing a dentist.

D. It can help users find their phones.

2.What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3?

A. You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.

B. You should see your dentist on a day-to –day basis.

C. You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.

D. You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.

3.What can we infer about Serval’s children?

A. They were unwilling to brush their teeth

B. They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.

C. They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.

D. They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.

The winter holiday season is the busiest time of the year in the US, and Thanksgiving is the one holiday this time of year that doesn’t get the attention it deserves — it is often overshadowed by Christmas. However, I still feel the festive atmosphere in my family.

Each year, I attend not just one Thanksgiving dinner, but typically between three and four. Thanksgiving lasts all throughout the second half of the week. I travel to different houses to spend time with different parts of my family. We usually eat a giant amount of traditional Thanksgiving foods such as deviled eggs, ham, green beans, potatoes, and breads. We don’t eat the traditional turkey like many families do, but we have just about everything else that someone would want to eat.

After eating, we sit around and chat. Usually someone has brought a guest, such as a new boyfriend/girlfriend or a new baby, so there’s always a chance to get to know the new family member, as well as catching up with family that I haven’t seen for a long time.

My extended families are very different, which makes for different holiday experiences. My other’s family is very polite and quiet, and that makes the dinner with them seem very formal. My father’s family is the opposite. They’re loud and don’t even try to control what words come out of their mouths. Their Thanksgiving usually includes yelling at whatever football game is on the television. It’s very casual and relaxed. Either way, it’s nice to be able to see my family and spend time with them.

In my eyes, Thanksgiving is a holiday based on being thankful for what you have, spending tine with family, and eating a lot more food than you probably should. Not all these things go with its history, but it makes for a nice tradition.

1. The underlined word“overshadowed”in the first paragraph probably means ________.

A. compared

B. celebrated

C. related

D. made to feel less important

2.How does the author usually celebrate Thanksgiving?

a. eating turkey.

b. chatting with her family.

c. watching the annual Thanksgiving shows on TV.

d. attending several Thanksgiving dinners with different parts of her family.

A. a, b.

B. a, c.

C. b, d.

D. c, d.

3.What does the author think of her parents’families?

A. She thinks that her parents’families have a lot in common with each other.

B. She believes that her mother and father’s families should learn from each other.

C. She prefers her father’s family’s casual way of celebrating Thanksgiving to her mother’s family’s way.

D. She enjoys spending time both of her parents’families although they are quite different.

Family traditions were important in our house, and one was more appreciated than our annual trip to the woods for the perfect Christmas tree.

“Dad, can we watch when you trim(修剪) it?” my eldest son ,John ,asked on the way home.

“I won’t be cutting this year,” my husband said.” You and your brother Dan are old enough to measure things, fit the tree to the stand and do it by yourselves. Think you boys can handle it?”

They seemed to grow six inches in their chairs at the thought of such an amazing responsibility. “We can handle it,” Dan promised. We won’t let you down.”

A few days before Christmas, Dan and John rushed in after school. They gathered the tools they’d need and brought them out of yard, where the tree waited. I left the older boys to their work and brought David inside for his early supper. A moment later I heard the happy sounds as the boys carried the trees into the living room. Then I heard the sound become dead silence. I hurried out to them. The tree was too short. John crossed his arm tight across his chest. His eyes were filled with angry tears.

The tree was central to our holiday, but it was not what I worried about. I didn’t want the boys to feel ashamed every time they looked at it. We had a terrible problem on our hands. I couldn’t lower the ceiling, and I couldn’t raise the floor either. There was no way to repair the damage. If I couldn’t fix the problem, maybe I could get creative with it. A thought came to my mind, which turned to the solution.

I followed them back into the living room.. “We can’t make the tree taller,” I said. “But we can put it on a higher position.” Dan turned his head sideways, measuring the distance with his eyes . “We can put it on the coffee table and put the lights and decorations on before we lift it up . Thus, we won’t need a ladder. It just might work! Let’s try it!”

When my husband got home and looked at the big tree on top of the coffee table, Dan and John held their breath.

“What a good idea!” he declared, as if the boys had gone beyond all his expectations. “Why didn’t I ever think of such a thing ?”

John broke into a grin. Dan’s chest swelled with pride. David squealed.

1.Who trimmed the Christmas trees this year?

A. David B. The writer

C. The children D. The writer’s husband

2.By “ grow six inches” ( Paragraph4), the writer means that the children might feel _____.

A. excited B. nervous C. terrible D. worried

3.What was the writer worried about according to Paragraph 6?

A.The Christmas tree B. The husband’s health

C. The holiday D. The boys’ pride

4.How was the short tree turned into a perfect one?

A. By making it taller B. By lowering the ceiling

C. By placing it on a table D. By raising the floor

5.What the writer’s husband said in the end shows that ________.

A. he expected too much of the children

B. he was satisfied with what the children had done

C. it was stupid of the children to think of such an idea.

D.the children shouldn’t have given up the responsibility

The wedding（婚禮） took place in a Birmingham hotel. The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sports car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time.

Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station’s competition. The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine, 23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered for a particular “experiment” organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham, England. Greg and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on radio. They took a lie detector （測(cè)謊儀）test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The competition judges included an astrologer（占卜家）who declared that they were suited.

The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine’s mother looked anxious through-out the wedding and Mr. Cordell’s parents are reported to be less than delighted.

Organizations, including the marriage guidance service Relate, have criticized the marriage. As one expert put it, “we have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously. Marriage should always be about love.”

A. to spend their honeymoon wherever they like.

B. to use an apartment free for some time.
