A bigger cause of my new__46__, however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease became my__47__ .

20.B

【解析】

1.根據(jù)前文，以前曾是一個(gè)以自我為中心的人，但過去兩年已經(jīng)開始改變。因此我已經(jīng)開始為他人考慮了。為他人考慮就應(yīng)該在考慮自己之前，故選before。

2.我非常高興，以為我正變成一個(gè)與以前那個(gè)以自我為中心的人不一樣的人了。故選different。A,著名的，B，簡(jiǎn)單的，D，訓(xùn)練有素的。都不符合題意！

3.我認(rèn)為我的變化是開始于就讀Palomar大學(xué)的時(shí)候。用change“變化”。而education教育，career職業(yè)生涯，tour旅行，觀光    明顯不符合。

4.起初，我只是想要得到我的學(xué)歷，所以單獨(dú)呆著。故選C學(xué)歷。A. balance平衡C. homework作業(yè)D. interest興趣，顯然不符！

5.語境：我以為我比其他人都聰明，所以我很少跟班上的人說話。故選A。B. wrote寫作；C. lied撒謊D. reported作報(bào)告

6.根據(jù)后文：除了我每個(gè)人都交了朋友，都很快樂。因此，我確實(shí)很孤獨(dú)。故選B。而A仔細(xì)的；C好奇的；D為內(nèi)疚、有罪的意思。

7.根據(jù)后文，我開始詢問周圍的人怎么樣，可知我開始嘗試與人交流。此處experiment“實(shí)驗(yàn)”，表示我開始嘗試一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)。Argument為爭(zhēng)論，game游戲，defence辯護(hù)、防御等明顯語意不符。

8.offer to help“主動(dòng)提出幫助”，根據(jù)前后文語境，作者詢問他人是否有他可以幫忙的麻煩。

9.對(duì)我來說，那確實(shí)是一個(gè)很大的進(jìn)步。step“步伐，邁步”。此處意為我有了一次很大的邁步。而夢(mèng)想，問題，責(zé)任等其他選項(xiàng)則不合適。

10.此題辨析并列句和關(guān)系從句。根據(jù)兩句間連詞and可知兩句關(guān)系為并列，故使用人稱代詞；根據(jù)句意：我交了幾個(gè)新朋友，其中兩個(gè)至今也是我最好的朋友。

11.根據(jù)本段的敘述，我在Vista Nursing Home做兼職的時(shí)候所遇到的一件事是使他有了徹底轉(zhuǎn)變以前態(tài)度的動(dòng)機(jī)。故此處選attitude（態(tài)度）別的選項(xiàng)的意思依次為愛好、希望和運(yùn)氣。

12.一個(gè)有阿爾茨海默氏病的老人成為了我的朋友。從后文可以看出她們的關(guān)系很好。此題很好的考差了做完形填空題要前后文聯(lián)系的方法，別的選項(xiàng)，搭檔、向?qū)Ш涂腿孙@然文不達(dá)意。

13.因?yàn)槔先苏J(rèn)為我是她女兒，所以每次我去她房間的時(shí)候，她很高興（happy）。語境考察，A禮貌；C陌生、奇怪；D自信。

14.她的女兒從來都沒來看望（visit）她，因此我就取代了她女兒的位置。A、B、D依次為打擾、回答和信任的意思。

15.她讓我明白，讓他人心情愉快同時(shí)也會(huì)讓自己心情很好。此處see的意思為明白的意思，而不是作看見講。

16.當(dāng)她去世的時(shí)候，我很傷心。經(jīng)常相處的老人去世了，我應(yīng)該很傷心（heartbroken）。別的選項(xiàng)的意思依次為：無家可歸、壞脾氣和無望，用在此處不合適。

17.比起以前，我覺得我現(xiàn)在是一個(gè)更好的人。Better為比較級(jí)，表示更好，別的選項(xiàng)也都是比較級(jí)，但是意思不符合此處語境，此題比較簡(jiǎn)單。

18.因?yàn)檫@些經(jīng)歷對(duì)我來說意義非凡，所以我希望不會(huì)忘記（forget）。B、C、D依次為面對(duì)、提高和分析的意思。

19.這些經(jīng)歷教會(huì)（taught）我更多地關(guān)注他人而不是自己。此處比較而言，只有taught更符合題意！

20.我是喜歡現(xiàn)在的我，而在幾年前我卻不能這么說。Miss錯(cuò)過，wonder想知道，expect期望，這三個(gè)選項(xiàng)不符合題意和語境

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter（痛苦的） about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

1.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?

A．He was silent most of the time.             B．He was too proud of himself.

C．He did not love his children.               D．He expected too much of her.

2.When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel         .

A．nervous          B．sorry             C．tired             D．safe

3.What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?

A．More critical.                          B．More talkative

C．Gentle and friendly.                      D．Strict and hard-working.

4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to         .

A．the author’s son                       B．the author’s father

C．the friend of the author’s father           D．the café owner

下面文章中有4處需要添加小標(biāo)題。請(qǐng)從以下選項(xiàng)（A、B、C、D和E）中選出符合各段意思的小標(biāo)題, 選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)是多余選項(xiàng)。

A. Early to Bed, Early to Rise

B. Read Challenging Books

C. Relax yourself

D. Minimize Television Watching

E. Take Time to Reflect

Five Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence

Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus.  

Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter.

1. __________-This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.

When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.

Exercise- I used to think that I'd learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you feel invigorated（精力充沛）and can concentrate more easily.

2. __________-Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren't mentally stimulating. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to the author’s style.

3. __________-Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You'll be most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic（無精打采）and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most tranquil and productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity（敏銳）all day.

If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will refresh you.

4. __________-Often our lives get so hectic that we become overwhelmed without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone in reflection gives you a chance to organize your thoughts and prioritize your responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better understanding of what's important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less encumbered.

Conclusion-I hope you aren’t disappointed that none of the techniques I've proposed are revolutionary. But simple, unexciting answers are often the most valid. The challenge is having the will to adhere to them. If you succeed in following these 5 tips, you’ll be rewarded with increased mental acuity and retention of knowledge.

I like eating fruit and vegetables what are of great benefit to our healthy. Not only do they prevent us from falling into ill, but they help us lose weight. I used to hate vegetables, but follow the doctor’s advice, I gradually kicked the bad habit. Just as an old saying going, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. However, there are still many children dislike fruit and vegetables. On contrary, influenced by this or that kind of advertisement, many were crazy about junk food. Consequently, they become weaker and weaker instead of getting strong. In my opinion, we must take action to change them.
