第一節 單項（共15小題；每小題1分，滿分15分）
1. — I’m sorry I made a mistake!
— ______ . Nobody is perfect.
A. Take your time B. You’re right
C. Whatever you say D. Take it easy
答案：D. Take it easy
解析：
本題考查日常用語。
Take your time. 別著急，慢慢來。
You’re right. 你說的對。
Whatever you say. 無論你說什么；你說了算；隨便你。
Take it easy. 別緊張；別著急；不要放在心上。
譯文：“對不起我錯了。” “別太在意。人無完人。”
2. Would you like to _______ with us to the film tonight?
A. come along B. come off C. come across D. come through
答案：A. come along
解析：
本題考查動詞短語。
come along 一起來；出現；進展；
come off 離開；實現；舉行；
come across 走過來；出現于；偶然碰到；
come through 經歷；傳出；脫險；
譯文：今晚你想要和我們一起去看電影嗎？
3. I was glad to meet Jenny again, _______ I didn’t want to spend all day with her.
A. but B. and C. so D. or
答案：A. but
解析：
本題考查連詞。
but conj. 但是，表示轉折關系；
and conj. 并且，表示并列關系；
so conj. 所以，表示因果關系；
or conj. 或者，否則，表示選擇關系；
譯文：我很高興再次見到Jenny，但是我不想整天都和她呆在一起。
4. When I arrived, Bryan took me to see the house _______I would be staying.
A. what B. when C. where D. which
答案：C. where
解析：
本題考察定語從句關系詞。
本題的定語從句先行詞the house表示地點，I would be staying后面需要加一個地點狀語，應使用關系副詞where引導，也可以用in which引導，這里where = in which。
譯文：我抵達之后，Bryan帶我看了我將暫住的房子。
5. I got to the office earlier that day, _______ the 7:30 train from Paddington.
A. caught B. to have caught C. to catch D. having caught
答案：D. having caught
解析：
本題考查非謂語動詞。
通過句義可知，由于趕上了7:30來自Paddington的火車，那天我較早地到達了公司。所以，趕火車的動作發生在到達辦公室這個動作之前，非謂語動詞用分詞的現在完成形式，表原因，所以本題選D。
譯文：由于趕上了7:30來自Paddington的火車，那天我較早地到達了公司。
6. Since nobody gave him any help, he ______ have done the research on his own.
A. can B. must C. would D. need
答案：B. must
解析：
本題考查情態動詞。
根據Since引導的從句“既然沒人給過他任何幫助”可以肯定推斷出他“一定是”自己獨立完成研究的。本題考生很可能會選擇選項C. would，但是仔細觀察時態，用的是過去式，而主句用現在完成時，可知主句的動作已經完成，若使用would，would +動詞的現在完成時表示虛擬語氣“本應該……”，與題意不符。
譯文：既然沒人給過他任何幫助，他肯定是獨自完成了這項研究。
7. We _______ very early so we packed the night before.
A. leave B. had left C. were leaving D. have left
答案：C. were leaving
解析：
本題考查動詞時態。
根據句義，可知本題想表達的意思是“因為我們第二天要一早出發，所以我們前一晚就整理了行李。”題干后半句用的是過去式，所以選項A和D明顯錯誤。選項B用的是過去完成時，表示已經出發了，與句義不符。所以選C，表示移動性質的動詞可以用進行時態表示將來。
譯文：因為我們第二天要一早出發，所以我們前一晚就整理了行李。
8. The watch was very good, and he _______ 20 percent down for it.
A. paid B. cost C. bought D. spent
答案：A. paid
解析：
本題考查詞組固定搭配。
固定搭配pay… for sth.意思是“為…支付…錢”；一般是人做主語，
cost v. 花費；價值為，物作主語；
buy v. 買；采購；
spend v. 花費，人作主語，固定搭配：spend… on sth.；
譯文：這塊手表非常不錯，并且他只支付了20%的定金。
9. It may not be a great suggestion. But before _______ is put forward, we’ll make do with it.
A. a good one B. a better one C. the best one D. a best one
答案：B. a better one
解析：
本題考查形容詞比較級。
根據句義可知，現在已經有了一個建議，盡管不那么好，但是在未提出更好的建議之前，我們可以先勉強采納現有的建議。短語make do with意為“勉強對付，湊合著用”。所以，本題將還未提出的建議與現有的建議進行對比，應該用形容詞比較級a better one。
譯文：這可能并不是一個好的建議。但是在提出更好的建議前，我們先勉強采納它。
10. It was only after he had read the papers _______ Mr. Gross realized the task before him was extremely difficult to complete.
A. when B. that C. which D. what
答案：B. that
解析：
本題考查強調句型It is/was … that …。
這句話的正常語序為Mr. Gross realized … only after he had read the papers. 從句the task before him was extremely difficult to complete是動詞realized的賓語。本題的題干是一個強調句，強調時間狀語only after he had read the papers。所以答案為B. that。
譯文：就當Gross先生完那些文件后，他才發現他面臨的這個任務極難完成。
11. A serious study of physics is impossible _______ some knowledge of mathematics.
A. against B. before C. beyond D. without
答案：D. without
解析：
介詞辨析題。
against prep. 反對，違反；
before prep. 在…之前，先于；
beyond prep. 超過；越過；
without prep. 沒有；在……外面；
譯文：不掌握一定的數學知識是沒有辦法對物理學進行系統地研究的。
12. Only by increasing the number of doctors by 50 percent _______ properly in this hospital.
A. can be the patients treated B. can the patients be treated
C. the patients can be treated D. treated can be the patients
答案：B. can the patients be treated
解析：
本題考查倒裝句。
Only位于句首修飾狀語需要部分倒裝，即將助動詞放于主語之前。
譯文：只有將醫生的數量提高50%，這個醫院的病人才能被完全地治療。
13. Four and _______ half hours of discussion took us up to midnight, and _______ break for cheese, chocolate and tea with sugar.
A. a；a B. the；the 不填；the D.a；不填
答案：A. a；a
解析：
本題考查冠詞的用法。
前一空a表示一個，相當于one，并且four and a half hours四個半小時，固定搭配；后一空a表達一次。
譯文：我們進行了長達四個半小時的討論直到午夜。中間休息時吃了一些乳酪、巧克力，喝了加糖的茶水。
14. It's an either-or situation —we can buy a new car this year or we can go on holiday but we can't do _______.
A. others B. either C. another D. both
答案：D. both
解析：
本題考查不定代詞。
others pron. 其他人或事；
either pron. （兩者中）任一；
another pron. 再一個；另一個；
both pron. 雙方都；兩者都；
根據句義，前半句“It's an either-or situation”已經指出這是一個二選一的情況，即意味著后半句的選擇中只能選一，而不能兩項都選擇。
譯文：我們只能二選一——要么我們今年買一輛新車，要么我們去度假，但是我們不能兩項都做。
15. — Are you sure you won’t come for a drink with us?
— _______, if you insist.
A. Not at all B. It depends C. All right then D. I don’t care
答案：C. All right then
解析：
本題考查日常用語。
Not at all. 一點也不；別客氣。
It depends. 看情況而定。
All right then. 那么好吧。
I don’t care. 我不在乎。
譯文：“你確定不和我們一起去喝一杯嗎？” “那好吧，如果你堅持的話。”

總評：
這是一篇講述人物事跡的記敘文，主要內容是介紹一位名叫Michael Greenberg的紐約人在冬天的時候會為窮人發手套，并因此為人熟知。文章整體難度不大。前兩段引入人物的介紹，其次敘述了他具體是如何幫助窮人、為他們送手套的，最后交待了他這么做是因為受到家庭的影響，他相信幫助窮人自己也會感受到快樂。
16. 答案：A. know about
【解析】考查短語辨析。know about“知道，了解”；learn from“向……學習”；cheer for“為……歡呼”；look after“尋找”。根據上文可知Michael Greenberg是個很出名的紐約人，他不是體育或者藝術名人，但是街上的人都認識他。know about“知道，了解”符合文意，因此正確答案為B。
17. 答案：D. poor
【解析】考查上下文理解。根據文章下文的內容，Michael Greenberg一直是在幫助窮人，為他們送去手套，所以poor“窮困的”符合文意，因此正確答案為D。
18. 答案：B. name
【解析】考查上下文理解。前一句中“對那些人來說，他是‘手套’Greenberg”，所以這一句問的是他是怎么得到這個稱號的，name“名稱”符合文意。因此正確答案為B。
19. 答案：B. different
【解析】考查上下文理解。上文說“他看上去跟其他商人一樣，穿西裝拎公文包”，在but轉折之后，后一句說“他的公文包里總有幾雙手套”，說明是跟其他人不一樣，different“不同的”符合文意。因此正確答案為B。
20. 答案：A. act
【解析】考查上下文理解。act“表現，行動”；sound“聽起來”；feel“感受”；dress“穿著”。下文中具體描繪了一些行為，所以act符合文意。因此正確答案為A。
21. 答案：C. hurry down
【解析】考查詞組辨析。cross over“穿過”；drive along“沿著……行駛”；hurry down“沿著……匆忙走”；keep off“遠離……”。根據上下文的描述，其他的紐約人都是看著人行道，行色匆匆地走，所以hurry down“沿著……匆忙走”符合文意。因此正確答案為C。
22. 答案：B. people
【解析】考查上下文理解。上文中說其他紐約人都是看著人行道，而Greenberg先生則不一樣，下文又提到了他會給人手套，所以他看的應該是people“人”。因此正確答案為B。
23. 答案：D. sees
【解析】考查上下文理解。上文中說他看著四周的人，所以橫線所在的句子應該是當他看到有人沒有手套的時候就會停下來，橫線處應該用see表示看見。因此正確答案為D。
24. 答案：C. moves on
【解析】考查詞組辨析。hold up“舉起，阻擋”；hang out“掛出，閑逛”；move on“繼續前進”；turn around“轉身”。根據上下文的意思，他在幫助了別人之后應該是繼續前進，尋找更多沒有手套的人。move on“繼續前進”符合文意。因此正確答案為C。
25. 答案：A. hands
【解析】考查上下文理解。根據上下文，Greenberg是給沒有手套的人送手套，所以說的是手冷，而不是其他部位。hands“手”符合文意。因此正確答案為A。
26. 答案：C. gives away
【解析】考查詞組辨析。search for“搜尋”；store up“貯存”；give away“贈送，分發”；put on“穿上”。根據上下文，在冬天，Greenberg先生是贈送手套，give away符合文意。因此正確答案為C。
27. 答案：D. buys
【解析】考查上下文理解。上文說他在冬天送手套，所以在別的時候，他去買手套更加合理，因為要保證冬天有送出去的手套，他就需要擁有足夠多的手套，所以排除sell“賣”和return“歸還”，而因為手套是送出去的，不會收回來，所以也不可能是borrow“借”，buy“買”符合文意。因此正確答案為D。
28. 答案：B. send
【解析】考查上下文理解。后一句說他現在公寓里有很多手套，說明聽說過他的人們是給他送手套，send“寄送”符合文意。因此正確答案為B。
29. 答案：C. began
【解析】考查上下文理解。句子是一般過去式，所以說明的是一個發生在過去的動作，根據文章意思，他是從21年前開始做這件事的，began“開始”符合文意。因此正確答案為C。
30. 答案：A. understand
【解析】考查上下文理解。根據上下文，橫線句子的意思應該是許多紐約的窮人認識他，而且理解他的行為，understand符合文意，dislike“討厭”，study“學習”，excuse“原諒”都不符合文意。因此正確答案為A。
31. 答案：D. surprised by
【解析】考查短語辨析。sorry for“為……感到抱歉”；satisfied with“對……感到滿意”；proud of“為……感到驕傲”；surprised by“因為……而吃驚”。根據上下文，認識他的人理解他的行為，而不認識他的人有時候會很驚訝，所以surprised by符合文意。因此正確答案為D。
32. 答案：D. happy
【解析】考查上下文理解。下文中提到了幫助窮人會讓每個人都更開心幸福，所以橫線處的意思是說，他們（不認識他的人們）沒有意識到，他只是想讓他們開心。所以happy符合文意。因此正確答案為D。
33. 答案：B. family
【解析】考查上下文理解。下文中提到了他的父親，所以可以判斷橫線處說的是家庭family，run in the family是習慣表達，意為“為一家人所共有，世代相傳”。因此正確答案為B。
34. 答案：C. same
【解析】考查上下文理解。這句話說明了Michael Greenberg做好事的原因，根據上文中的It runs in the family.和他父親相信幫助窮人能讓每個人都更幸福，可以理解他也有同樣的感受，same符合文意。因此正確答案為C。
35. 答案：A. small
【解析】考查上下文理解。下文用but表示轉折，并且提到了make a big difference“有很大的影響”，說明橫線處應該是與big形成對比的，small符合文意，表示一雙手套雖小，但卻能在冬天派上很大的用場。因此正確答案為A。
第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節，滿分40分）
第一節（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn’t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (機組資源管理)，or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot, He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架）down, unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, “We need to put the landing gear down now!” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from "landing gear up".
36. What does the author say about doctors in general?
A. They like flying by themselves.
B. They are unwilling to take advice.
C. They pretend to be good pilots.
D. They are quick learners of CRM.
37. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when _______.
A. he saved the plane by speaking up
B. he was in charge of a flying task
C. his boss landed the plane too late
D. his boss operated on a patient
38. In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means
A. following flying requirements
B. overreacting to different opinions
C. listening to what fellow doctors say
D. making a mistake that may cost lives
39. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe
B. Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor
C. The Making of a Good Pilot
D. A Pilot-Turned Doctor
36. 答案：B
【解析】信息推斷題。題目問的是作者對普通醫生（doctors in general）的看法。從文中第一段的第一、二句“Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all."可知，作者認為醫生一般都不愿意聽取意見，所以答案選B。
37. 答案：A
【解析】信息推斷題。題目問的是作者在什么時候加深了對CRM的作用的認識。文中第二段句首提到“I first read about CRM in 1980.”這是作者首次接觸CRM，此后不久，在一次飛行事故中，作者的老板在操作飛機降落時忘記把起落架放下來，這時作者向老板提出“我們現在需要把起落架放下來”，從而拯救了機組成員。這個事件讓作者對CRM有了更深刻的認識，所以答案選A。B項錯誤，因為作者并不是這次飛行任務的負責人；C項“他的老板使飛機降落時已太遲了”；D項“他的老板在給一個病人做手術”，均不符合題意。
38. 答案：D
【解析】語義推斷題。“landing gear”在文中給出了中文釋義，意為“起落架”，“landing gear up”意為“把起落架收起來”，結合該詞組在文中出現的語境，可以知道在飛機降落時把起落架收起來是有生命危險的，所以keep me from landing gear up即讓我避免犯此類會帶來生命危險的錯誤。
39. 答案：B
【解析】主旨大意題。文中第一段提到，“but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon”，在第二段中作者講述了其在一起飛行事件中的經歷和從中得到的教訓：即不論職位高低，在必要的時候需要勇于發言，作者將這一經驗應用到手術室中，在手術室中咨詢他人的意見并鼓勵他人發表意見，從而使他成為一個更好的醫生，所以B項正確。本文的重點并不是在討論使飛行變得安全的CRM，所以A項錯誤；也不是在講“如何才能造就一個好的飛行員”，所以C項錯誤；D項意為“一個此前做過飛行員的醫生”，本文的主旨并不是關于作者本人，而是在說醫生要聽取別人的意見，從而成為一個更好的醫生。
B
In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交響樂團). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
40. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?
A. To bring Europe together again.
B. To honor heroes of World WarⅡ.
C. To introduce young theatre groups.
D. To attract great artists from Europe.
41. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?
A. They owned a public house there.
B. They came to take up a challenge.
C. They thought they were also famous.
D. They wanted to take part in the festival.
42. Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?
A. Popular writers
B. University students.
C. Artists from around the world.
D. Performers of music and dance.
43. We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival______.
A. has become a non-official event
B. has gone beyond an art festival
C. gives shows all year round
D. keeps growing rapidly
總評：這是一篇介紹愛丁堡音樂節形成和發展的說明文。文章按照時間順序，從創設目的，參與群體，發展規模等方面進行了簡要而準確的敘述，回顧了愛丁堡音樂節的發展歷程。
細評：
40. 答案：A. To bring Europe together again.
【解析】細節題。本題考查愛丁堡音樂節的創設目的。文章第一段最后一句指出：“the idea was to reunite the Europe after the Second World War”，即：（人們創設愛丁堡音樂節的）想法是團結二戰后的歐洲。選項A表達的與此意相同。bring together 把……團結起來。所以，答案為A。
41. 答案：D. They wanted to take part in the festival.
【解析】推斷題。由第三段第二句，“Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform...”，可知八個樂隊不請自來的原因是他們認為每個人都應有權利來音樂節上參加表演。選項D，他們想要參加表演，與文章表達的意思相符。所以，答案為D。
42. 答案：B. University students
【解析】細節題。由關鍵詞Fringe定位到第三段，但是本段不能推斷出答案，所以繼續看第四段，第四段提到很多大學生參加了愛丁堡音樂節，所以答案為B。
43. 答案：D. keeps growing rapidly
【解析】細節題。選項A文中未提及。選項B也未提及。選項C，由倒數第二段第一句“...music and dance on very one of the 21 days it lasts.”可知，愛丁堡音樂節并不是全年都有。選項D，愛丁堡音樂節發展迅速，由文章最后一段“and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself”可知其規模不斷變大。所以，答案為D。
C
Given that many people's moods (情結) are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of almost always in the jar of sweets.
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored (味道) chocolates.
The CRF’s produce is "green"，made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series - with Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆)，cheese and other flavors - also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs, who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela, and Ghana, among others.
44. What is good about chocolate?
A. It serves as a suitable gift.
B. It works as an effective medicine.
C. It helps improve the state of mind.
D. It strengthens business relations.
45. Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?
A. He knows the importance of research.
B. He learns from shops of similar types.
C. He has the support of many big names.
D. He has a lot of marketing experience.
46. Which line of the CRF produce sells best?
A. The Connoisseur Series.
B. The Exotic Series.
C. The Alcohol Series.
D. The Sichuan Series.
47. The words "chocolate snobs" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who _______.
A. are particular about chocolate
B. know little about cocoa beans
C. look down upon others
D. like to try new flavors
【總評】本文介紹了一個類似電影《查理和他的巧克力工廠》那樣的，擁有一百多種巧克力的CRF。文章第一段先從巧克力的好處引出CRF及其創始人Chris Lee。第二段則從Chris Lee豐富的銷售經驗說明他的想法會是一個聰明的好點子。第三段則介紹了CRF中的不同巧克力系列。讀完全文，會發現該文選材新穎，結構清晰，難度并不大。
44. C. It helps improve the state of mind.
【解析】細節題。本文的關鍵詞為chocolate，根據出題原則，首先看第一段。發現第一段第一句話Given that many people's moods are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate... (人們的情緒由巧克力的化學作用調節)，可知，巧克力的好處是能夠提高情緒。因此正確答案為C. It helps improve the state of mind.注意選項中的state of mind其實為原文中moods的同義詞。選項B為強干擾，雖說第三行提到了drugstore，但是句意是有人會把巧克力店開得類似中藥房，并沒有指出巧克力就是一種有效藥。
45. D. He has a lot of marketing experience.
【解析】細節題。由關鍵詞CRF和idea定位到第二段。根據that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as... 可知，Chris Lee不僅是個老道的銷售人員，還是個銷售部的主管，且該銷售部與知名品牌有工作聯系，可見Chris Lee的銷售經驗豐富正是能發展他想法的原因所在。本題的C選項為干擾項，雖然文中出現big names，但是只是作為他經驗豐富的有利說明，而并沒有指出這些大品牌為他的這個理念提供支持。
46. C. The Alcohol Series.
【解析】細節題。由關鍵詞CRF和line定位到第三段。大家注意題干中的關鍵詞best，它提示了我們也要在文中找到表示最高級含義的短語和句子，而句子...with the Alcohol Series being the most popular中的being the most popular正好含有最高級含義。所以正確答案為C。
47. A. are particular about chocolate
【解析】釋義題。根據關鍵詞chocolate snobs和Paragraph 3，定位到第三段And for chocolate snobs, who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others，我們可以發現who引導的從句正是對chocolate snobs的解釋，即chocolate snobs指那些自認為比他人更懂得巧克力的人。縱觀選項，答案B說他們幾乎不懂咖啡豆，不符合文意，因為本句后面還說為了這些chocolate snobs，“鑒賞系列”特地用了來自多哥、古巴等地的咖啡豆；答案C說他們看輕別人，文中并沒有提及；答案D說他們喜歡嘗試新口味，也未在本句定義中提及，所以正確答案為A。A選項中的be particular about解釋為“對……特別講究的”，符合他們自認為更懂巧克力的特點。
D
Low-Cost Gifts for Mother’s Day
Gift No. 1
Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor’s visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need," but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor’s visit. The best part? This one is free.
Gift No. 2
Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. “Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother’s life,” Dr. Marie Savard said.
Gift No. 3
Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep,” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”
Gift No. 4
Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother’s Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善機構). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things - many of which are “green” - and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.

Public Speaking Training
Get a coach?
_______, so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
Focus on positives?
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. ____52___, so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.
___53____?
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. ___54____. As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a clone.?
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. ____55___. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A. You aren’t like anybody else
B. You already do lots of things well
C. Turn your back on too many rules
D. Check the rules about dos and don’ts
E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
F. The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep
G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
答案：
51. E
52. B
53. C
54. G
55. A
【解析】
該類題型考查段落銜接和整段理解。本文論述了進行公共演講的訓練要點。
縱覽全文，F選項與文意無關，可以先行去除，將難度降低為從六個選項中選擇五個。
51. E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
【解析】本題與后句so get help. 形成因果關系，只有選項E可以作為原因。
52. B. You already do lots of things well
【解析】本題位于段中，通過上下文得出選項。后一句so good public speaking training should develop those與空格形成因果關系，所以空格中應表達“你已經做得很好了”的含義，所以B選項是正確答案。
53. C. Turn your back on too many rules
【解析】本題位于段首，為整段的主旨大意。從該段第一句可知，要對條條框框說不，所以C選項是正確答案。
54. G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
【解析】從前句Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about, 可知后一空與前一空形成因果關系，腦子里裝滿了條條框框只會使情況變得更糟。
55. A. You aren’t like anybody else
【解析】段落標題是You are a special person not a clone (克隆)，A選項呼應了主題。
