11、mportant thing about a fairy was her beauty.In the fairy country，she was always laughed at.Every time she flew off to help a child or anyone else in trouble，before she could say a word they were already shouting，“Ugly!

20、itches wanted to live in the fairy countryA主旨大意题。文章第三段通过实例证明一个人的外貌并不重要，重要的是属于自己内心的强大的正能量。CWhen was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you？Not someone you knew，but a total stranger？Its happened to me a few times，but two instances really stand out.A few years ago，I was dining in
21、 a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself，completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery.It wasnt my friends talks that made me suffer.I was recovering from a broken heart，and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship.I could have burst int

26、pCTwo special experiencesDHelping others is worthwhileA标题归纳题。文章第一段“unexpectedly did something nice for you”引出主题，询问是否有陌生人曾经意外的帮助过你，然后下文讲述了自己的两段相关的经历，故文章的主要内容是讲述陌生人的帮助。9Why did the author suffer when dining out with a friend?ABecause she didnt like the dishes.BBecause she quarreled with her friend.CBe
27、cause her friend only talked about himself.DBecause she was sad for her last relationship.D细节理解题。从第二段的“It wasnt my friends talks that made me suffer.I was recovering from a broken heart，and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship.”可知答案。10According to the passage，the man in wh

29、 of energyD词义猜测题。由画线部分前面的“.I was out of gas.Runners call it.”可知，画线部分与“I was out of gas”表达相似的意思。DEarthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.Their designers say with these robots，rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.This robot，looking li

43、GBeing able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。孩子未来会从事什么样的工作呢？或许是目前尚不存在的工作。那么如何让孩子准备好将来的工作呢？文章给出了要让孩子做好准备的四个方面：好奇心、创造性、人际交往技巧和自我表达能力。16D根据文章开头第一句The jobs of the future have not yet been invented.“未来的工作尚未发明出来”并且结合16空后面的By helping them develop classic skills th
44、at will serve them well“通过帮助他们发展可以为他们很好的服务的经典技能”可知，16空应该是个问句，D项“那么我们该如何帮助孩子们为尚不存在的工作做好准备呢？”符合语境。17A根据该空后面提供的语境What ingredients(配料)can we add to make these pancakes even better next time？“下次我们可以添加什么配料来让这些薄煎饼更好吃呢？”可知与cook有关，故选A项(鼓励孩子跟你一起烹饪)。18C该空在2.Creativity之下，与“创造性”匹配的只有C项中的in new ways“用新的方法”，故C项为正确
45、选项。19F根据19空后面的几个问题：Why do you think shes crying？Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face？.我们很容易判断出与F项的ask questions关系密切。故此处要填入F项“我们可以在我们的实际生活中这样做或者就故事中的角色进行提问”。20GG项“能用有意义的方式交流想法是一项宝贵的技能”是对Self Expression“自我表达”技能的解释。expression“表达”与communicate“交流”是该题解答的关键。.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)Af

50、 began doing this，I found I became more welcome everywhere.【语篇解读】本文通过自己对遇到的每一个人微笑的经历告诉我们：微笑可以带给我们许多好处。21A.successBfriendshipCfailureDrewardC因为自己的表情必定会带来失败，所以作者才想办法改变。其他选项表达积极意义，故可排除。22A.wearBshowCchangeDseeC由第23空后的a complete change可知，因为作者总是带着忧虑的表情，所以要改掉这种表情并不容易。23A.made upBbrought inCresulted inDcal
51、led forDIt在这里指改变脸上的表情这件事，这需要完全改变作者对生活的看法，call for的意思是“需要”。make up“编造，占据”，bring in“引进”，result in“产生”，不符合文意。24A.determinedBhurriedCfailedDpretendedA每天早晨在十五分钟的洗浴时间里，作者决心培养一个开心的微笑。根据前后语境可知，hurry“匆忙”，fail“失败”，pretend“假装”，可排除。25A.thereforeBhoweverCinsteadDsoB前后为转折关系。虽然在培养笑容，但作者意识到那不能是强迫式的笑容。26A.opinionBho
52、norCbillDpocketD联系第一段中的I started to sell及空前面的putting dollars可以得此答案，意思是“把钱放进我的腰包”。27A.whenBhowCwhetherDwhyB本题考查宾语从句的引导词。下文所讲述的是每天早晨训练微笑是如何有助于作者一天的生活的，因此用how。28A.helpedBconcernedCsatisfiedDdisappointedA联系下文的内容可知，十五分钟的微笑练习对作者帮助很大。concern“担心，关怀”，satisfy“满足”，disappoint“使失望”，均不符合文意。29A.couldBmightCshouldD
53、wouldD在进办公室前，我会想起许多应感激的事情。would在这里表示“过去常常”。30A.readyBcertainCthankfulDfamousC因为对事情充满了感激，才会发出真心的微笑，故用thankful。其他选项可依据空后的and work up a big smile排除。31A.in peaceBin publicCin returnDin surpriseC因为作者对别人真心微笑，别人也会回报作者一个真心的微笑。“seldom did it fail to do.”是用双重否定表示肯定。in return“作为回报”。32A.greetedBpleasedCpuzzledD
54、welcomedB从下文作者向街上的人微笑可知，作者的微笑也让他们心情愉悦。33A.neverBjustCalreadyDeverD联系空前的the best smile可知，这个微笑是一生中曾经拥有的最好的微笑。34A.proveBappearCfeelDremainC联系空前的look我们可以得此答案。look侧重于外表，而feel侧重内心。35A.keepBstopChateDprotectB由下文的start living happily可知，此处指停止担心，与start living happily对应。.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1

59、conducted by an American professor是过去分词短语作定语，修饰 research，分词动作conduct与逻辑主语 research之间是被动关系。37higher本空与本空后的“more creative”构成并列，故填high的比较级。这里是将员工工作时间和人体的自然睡眠模式一致时与员工被剥夺了睡眠时间时相比较。38Thethe opposite是“the形容词”表示一类事物。39to makebe likely to do sth.意思是“很可能会做某事”。40Sadly空格中所填单词在句中修饰整个句子，需用sad的副词形式。41puttingputtin
60、g their work schedules in disagreement with their employees body clocks是现在分词短语作状语，分词动作put与逻辑主语many companies之间是主动关系。42pressure空格中所填单词在句中作along with的宾语且前有the，需用名词；由语境可知此处表示“压力”，故填pressure。43fromsuffer from表示“遭受痛苦”。44thatthat引导表语从句，在从句中只起连接作用，不充当任何成分。45adjusted/should adjust句型it is high time that后面从句中
