B.Inspired.C.Exhausted. D.Sorrowful.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“AndI’mthankfultohavemyfamilytoleanonduringthisdifficulttime”及文章最后一段可知,作者感恩困难时期家人的支持,从另外一方面讲,是痛苦和苦难让作者明白了生活的意义,所以选A项。26.Whatdoestheauthorprobablyagreewith?A.Lifeismorefragilethanexpected.B.Somethingniceweighslight.C.Painandsufferingoftengohandinhand.D.Weshouldtreattheoldinanabnormalway.答案A解析推理判断题。在作者眼里一直强壮能干的父亲,在做了心脏手术之后,认不出作者了。由此可推断,作者可能认同这种观点:生命比预想的更脆弱。故选A项。27.Whatdoestheauthoraimtoexpressinthispassage?A.Painandsufferingareboundtopass.B.Painandsufferingbringusbeneficialexperiences.C.Wecannotalwaysavoidfacingpainandsuffering.D.Wewillnoteventuallybedefeatedbypainandsuffering.答案B解析主旨大意题。作者首先讲述了父亲手术之后的情况,在最后两段里,作者感慨痛苦与苦难让我们吸取教训,给我们机会去思考生命中真正重要的是什么,并让我们认识到生活的意义。也就是说,痛苦与苦难会带给我们一些有益的东西,所以选B项。CIthinkadultsareaffectedbymedia,songsandtheInternet,andthatishardenough.Afterreadingallofthemagazinesandlookingatthemodels,myfriendsandIagreethatourleastfavouritedayoftheyeariswhenwewearswimsuits!Itaffectsyourwholemoodandself-imagefortheday.Thinkabouthowharditisforyounggirlsiftheybelieve“howhotyoulook”ishowvaluableyouare.Herearesomewaysparentscanbeproactiveinencouragingahealthyself-imageintheirchildren.First,teachwhatrealvalueis.Ithinkkidssometimesareconfusedaboutvalue.Howvaluableyouareisnotmeasuredbyhowprettyyouareontheoutsideandsuccessisnotmeasuredbyhowfamousyouare.WewerewatchingtheOscarsandmy6-year-oldsonsaid,“Sheissopretty,”andthenquicklylookedatmeandsaid,“Youareprettier,Mom.”AndIsaid,“It’sokay.Therearemanypeopleprettierthanmeontheoutside.Iknowthat’snotwhyyouloveme.”Itisimportanttoteachchildrenthisfromanearlyage.Second,tellyourkidsabout“thegrassisalwaysgreenersyndrome.”Itisveryeasyforallofustoseetheglamour(魅力),whetheritisinafamoussingerorthemostpopulargirlintheschool.Donotdehumanize(使失去人性)andjudgefamouspeople.Talkaboutwhatproblemstheymighthavethataredifferentfromtheproblemsyourchildhasandmaybesomeofthesamestruggles,likemaybewantingacceptancefrompeers.Atlast,useyourmouth.Don’tbeafraidtohaveconversationswithyourchildabouthowthey’refeelingaboutads,songs,etc...Boystoo!Youaretheparent!Kidsofallageswantandneedboundarieswhethertheyadmititornot.Takeastandandhaveconfidenceenoughnottobefollowersandnottopurchaseclothing,music,ormagazinesthatyoudon’tbelievesendtherightmessagetoyourchildren!【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述了家长应如何帮助孩子树立正确的价值观和人生观。28.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“It”inParagraph1referto?A.Singingwithfriends.B.Learningswimmingskills.C.Showingimperfectfigures.D.Readingfashionmagazines.答案C解析推理判断题。由划线词上文的“allofthemagazinesandlookingatthemodels...whenwewearswimsuits”及划线词下文的“howhotyoulook”可推断,划线词指代“(穿上泳衣后)展示出不完美的身材”。29.Theauthor’ssonsaid“Youareprettier,Mom.”probably.

答案与解析【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者因身体原因不得不辞去了自己心爱的工作,丈夫充满爱意和鼓励的话语让作者重新振作起来,最后重返工作岗位。56.wasforced考查动词时态和语态。根据时间状语Afewyearsago以及主语与动词force之间的关系可知,此处要用一般过去时的被动语态。57.Staying考查非谓语动词。该句的主语I与动词stay之间为主动关系,故用动词-ing形式作状语。58.confidence考查名词。形容词性物主代词my后接名词在宾语从句中作主语。59.sweetly考查副词。修饰动词said,应该用副词形式。60.a考查冠词。teacher是可数名词,且good是以辅音音素开头的,表示泛指意义,所以用不定冠词修饰
