解析語篇解讀  本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。生活中我們常常會(huì)遇到這樣的情況,明明喝的是咖啡卻非常在意裝咖啡的杯子,殊不知咖啡杯只是一個(gè)器具,杯中的咖啡才應(yīng)該是真正的旨趣所在。
【小題1】解析: 考查名詞辨析。根據(jù)本句的“stress”及下文第二段末句中的“problems and stress”可知,此處應(yīng)該是抱怨生活和工作中的壓力。
答案: B
【小題2】解析:    考查名詞辨析。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知,學(xué)生們來看望教過自己的大學(xué)教授,對(duì)于教授來說這些學(xué)生就是客人。
答案: C
【小題3】解析:    考查動(dòng)詞辨析。因?yàn)榍拔奶岬揭o學(xué)生們咖啡喝,那么教授去了廚房之后應(yīng)該是又返回客廳。
答案: B
【小題4】解析: 考查名詞辨析。從破折號(hào)的解釋可看出,教授拿來許多不同的咖啡杯。如果選擇A項(xiàng)則意為“一種杯子”,與下文的敘述相悖。a variety of cups意為“各種各樣的”,符合語境,故選C。
答案: C
【小題5】解析: 考查動(dòng)詞辨析。help oneself to是固定搭配,意為“隨便用(或吃)”。教授拿回不同的杯子和咖啡讓學(xué)生自便,從而引出下文教授的評(píng)價(jià)與教導(dǎo)。
答案: C
【小題6】解析: 考查動(dòng)詞辨析。教授拿出許多不同的咖啡杯,這是教授引起學(xué)生注意的方式,所以教授說:“你們都注意到了”。因此答案選D,noticed意為“注意,關(guān)注”。
答案: D
【小題7】解析: 考查動(dòng)詞短語辨析。句意為:價(jià)錢貴,樣子又好看的杯子你們都用上了,放在一旁的都是一些不好看的便宜貨。taken up意為“占用”,符合句意,故選D。take  in意為“吸入”;take back意為“退回”;take out意為“切除,獲得”。
答案: D
【小題8】解析: 考查形容詞辨析。此空所填詞應(yīng)該與plain構(gòu)成并列關(guān)系,所以選擇A項(xiàng),另外cheap與本句中的“expensive”也是相對(duì)的。
答案: A
【小題9】解析: 考查連詞辨析。根據(jù)下文可知。“the best”和“problems and stress”形成對(duì)比,故此處應(yīng)該選擇表示轉(zhuǎn)折意味的詞語。while意為“雖然”,符合語意語境,故答案選B。
答案: B
【小題10】解析: 考查名詞辨析。句意為:雖然你只想給自己選擇最好,這是人之常情,但是這也正是你們的問題和壓力的根源所在。根據(jù)句意可知,應(yīng)選擇B項(xiàng),source意為“根源”。
答案: B
【小題11】解析:    考查動(dòng)詞辨析。add to意為“增加”,即教授認(rèn)為杯子本身不會(huì)增加咖啡的質(zhì)量。故答案選D。increase一般表示具體數(shù)量上的增加;expand意為“擴(kuò)大,增加,增強(qiáng)(尺碼、數(shù)量或重要性)”;extend意為“使伸長(zhǎng),擴(kuò)大,擴(kuò)展”,均不符合題意,故排除。
答案: D
【小題12】解析: 考查介詞短語辨析。in most cases意為“在大部分情況下”,與本句中的“in some cases”相呼應(yīng)。
答案: B
【小題13】解析: 考查動(dòng)詞辨析。根據(jù)語境可知,此處指“我們所喝的咖啡”,what引導(dǎo)賓語從句,在從句中作賓語,指代咖啡。
答案: A
【小題14】解析: 考查副詞辨析。選擇咖啡杯是有意識(shí)地選擇。
答案: C
【小題15】解析: 考查動(dòng)詞辨析。自己已經(jīng)選擇了自認(rèn)為是最好的杯子,選好之后還要打量別人的杯子。eye用作動(dòng)詞,意為“注視,審視,細(xì)看”,符合語境。suspect一般不用于進(jìn)行時(shí),意為“懷疑”;envy意為“嫉妒”;consider意為“考慮”,均不符合語境。
答案: D
【小題16】解析: 考查名詞辨析。本段教授開始做總結(jié),將故事加以升華,挖掘出其深刻的寓意。與工作,社會(huì)地位能夠并列的只能是錢財(cái)。
答案: A
【小題17】解析: 考查動(dòng)詞辨析,與and后面的“contain”是同義詞,并且能夠接賓語life的只有D項(xiàng),hold意為“容納”。
答案: D
【小題18】解析:    考查動(dòng)詞辨析。句意為:我們使用的杯子的類型不能限定也改變不了我們的生活質(zhì)量。根據(jù)上下文可知,杯子并不能使杯中的咖啡發(fā)生任何改變,故C項(xiàng)符合語意語境。
答案: C
【小題19】解析: 考查動(dòng)詞辨析。句意為:有時(shí)候人們只關(guān)注盛咖啡的杯子,而沒能品嘗出咖啡的味道。言外之意是人們過于關(guān)注生活的外在表現(xiàn)形式,而忽略生活的真正內(nèi)涵。fail to do sth.意為“不能做某事”,符合語境,
答案: D
【小題20】解析: 考查動(dòng)詞辨析。本句是全文的結(jié)束句,也是對(duì)全文的總結(jié),即不要讓杯子牽著你走,應(yīng)該享受咖啡本身。drive此處表示“迫使,驅(qū)使”,符合語境,故選B。
答案: B

The train had started moving. It was      with people of all ages, mostly with the middle-aged workers and young students. Near the      sat an old man with his thirty-year-old son. As the train moved by, the son was overjoyed with the        outside. “See, dad, the scenery of green trees moving        is very beautiful.”
This behavior from a        son made the other people feel strange about him. Everyone was       about the son. “This person seems to be       ,” a newly-married man whispered to his wife.
Suddenly it started   . Lots of drops fell on the travelers through the open window. The son excitedly said to his father, “See, dad, how      the rain is, too.” The man’s wife was annoyed by the rain drops spoiling (弄壞) her      suit. The young man said to the father, “Can’t you see it raining yourself? Your son        be mentally ill. Get him to a hospital!”
The old man        at first, feeling rather hurt and then replied, “We are on the way back from the       . My son was        from birth. He just recovered from an eye operation yesterday. The rain and nature are all new to his eyes. Please      us for the inconvenience that we may have caused.”
The things we see may be right from the outside      we know the truth,      the lesson learnt may be too late. Imam Ali once said: A fool’s mind is at the mercy of his tongue and a wise man’s tongue is under the control of his      . So try to understand the problem better before taking a(n)     action. As the saying goes, “It is better to light up a candle instead of blaming the       .”

The elderly Chinese man in the small booth (售票口) behind the thick glass shook his head. I didn't need to know a word of Chinese to understand there were      beds available for the Thursday night train from Beijing to Shanghai. I had a Friday morning
    with my college friend. I must be on that train. Desperate times      desperate measures. So I squatted(蹲下). I assumed that this was the international      for “Are there any hard seats available?”
    , there were. It was seat 109. Very quickly, I found it. The Chinese man sitting in it, however, seemed to beg to differ.
I panicked. I am a man who usually avoids conflicts(沖突) and so I      my seat, as if still looking, to buy myself more time. I had two options: The first is to be a      and ask for what was rightfully mine. The second was to   23  and spend the next 13 hours staying in a corner.
Well, nine out of ten times I choose the second option. But at that moment, every square inch of          had already been claimed. There wasn’t      a corner in which to cower(退縮). So, I mustered up(聚集) some      and presented the man with my proof of ownership. He looked at my ticket and     .
About midnight my     became heavy and I was ready for the lights to dim and my date      
Ms ZZZZ to start. But the room      bright and hot. I tried to persevere and was even able to work     into a sleeping position.
It is here I must admit: I have a     bladder (膀胱). The man next to me drank a Coca-Cola, a bag of milk and a bottle of water and      the course of 13 hours he did not move once. I drank      but finally, I made my way to the bathroom at 3:02 am.
After waiting in a thick cloud of cigarette smoke, I finally used the bathroom. The philosophy(原則) of my sleeping      was right: if you get a seat on a train, don’t move.

Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are ____. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to ____ it. Creativity isn’t always ____ with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time ____ think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
Making connections  This technique involves taking ____ ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words ____ with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ____ to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original ____; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.
No limits!  Imagine that normal limitations don’t ____. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new ____. If your goal is to learn to ski, ____, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now ____ this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.
Be someone else!  Look at the situation from a ____ point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the ___ in their books.
