【文章大意】本文介紹一位殘疾人在熱心人的幫助下重新開始自己心愛的歌唱事業(yè)的情感故事。
小題1:由下文disability pension (殘疾撫恤金）可知作者是一個殘疾人。選sickness。
小題2:由文章知道作者熱愛唱歌，所以選enjoyed。
小題3:由下文可知I live with my mother on a country farm .形成轉折，作者殘疾了。當然是Unfortunately。
小題4:現(xiàn)在作者和他的母親住在一個農(nóng)場了。
小題5:作者殘疾了，決定做額外的工作來彌補殘疾補償金的不足。
小題6:考查連詞。as引導時間狀語從句。當……時候。
小題7:因為作者要睡覺，所以找的工作的機會就少了。
小題8:因為工作機會少，作者原先在飯店唱歌，現(xiàn)在他想返回去唱歌掙錢。
小題9:因為我的家庭都是音樂人，作者本身帶有音樂人的那些特指，當作者去當?shù)氐囊魳飞痰辏捅徽J出來了是音樂人。
小題10:屬于AandB法，這是并列結構，要求前后詞性與詞義要相似，幾乎在每年的高考完形中都會考查這個知識點。本題and之前說東西很貴，之后理應推出沒有足夠的錢，故選A.money。
小題11:屬于反義多一對，即四個選項中有一組反義詞，答案多在這組反義詞中出現(xiàn)。此題C和D構成反義結構，根據(jù)文章信息，故選D.often。
小題12:屬于中文代入法，實際上一張光盤里的十首歌也只有三/四首可以用，故選A.actually。
小題13:屬于上文提示法，上文中作者有提到過想再次唱歌的這個想法，故選C.idea。
小題14:屬于同義辨析法，此考查點多在四級考試完形填空部分中出現(xiàn)，在2008年高考英語浙江卷第26題也曾考查過，當年的難度系數(shù)約為0.32。此題中的B.view強調(diào)的是眺望風景，C.look強調(diào)看的眼神，D.sight強調(diào)視力，本文店主深深地看了作者，屬于眼神之間的交流，故選C.look。
小題15:屬于固定搭配法，店主帶領作者穿過擁擠的店鋪，從空間穿過，故選D.through。
小題16:屬于感情色彩法，此法多用于解決形容詞或副詞。下文出現(xiàn)treasure，因此可以推出店主對自己的寶物愛不釋手，心愛地觸摸，故選B.lovingly。
小題17:屬于固定搭配法，takeyourpick，美國俚語，隨你挑選的意思，故選A.pick。
小題18:屬于語法識別法，近幾年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化語法點考查，一般只會涉及一道。C.shouldhavecried,本應該做的事情而沒有做，放在原文中過于牽強，而本題是作者受到店主的感激，非常感動，本可以哭但沒有哭，故選D.couldhavecried。
小題19:屬于尋找重復法，31題與32題之前曾出現(xiàn)onlythreetofoursongs...canuse，對應...couldsing,故選B.theones。
小題20:屬于主旨概況法，即所選選項要與原文中心相一致。本文詳細描述店主對作者的幫助，店主的善舉感動作者，故選C.kindness。

A Full-Time School Called Life
You are enrolled in a full-time school called “l(fā)ife”. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.
Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors overlooked, however, is there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.
Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is a key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life.
As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others don’t have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you specifically need to learn; whether we choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you.
The challenge here, therefore , is to align（與…保持一致）yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be faced with in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be completely different from others. But, remember, don’t compare your path to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.
Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity—the assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult lift path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out the comparing phrase of “it’s not fair”. Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feeling of bitterness and anger.
小題1:.According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?
A．Having the same opinions as others.
B．Taking the distinct path from others.
C．Learning the lessons presented to you.
D．Doing the different things from others.
小題2:. From the passage we can conclude ______.
A．everyone has his own track to follow
B．the same thing usually happen to the peers
C．a(chǎn) painful divorce must lie in financial problems
D．a(chǎn) wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage
小題3:. In your lifetimes, the lessons you are faced with ______.
A．a(chǎn)re beyond your powerB．keep you from growth
C．limit your developmentD．help you with your success
小題4:. Which of the following is TRUE?
A．All things are equal and justice will always prevail.
B．You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness.
C．One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances.
D．The teachers have designed the lessons as part of your curriculum in the life school..
小題5:. Life is called a full-time school, because ______.
A．it is full of all lessons to learn
B．you have plenty of time to learn lessons
C．you meet with specific lessons every day
D．there are so many subjects for you to choose

For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many weight – conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize（夢想）about what it will be like when we reach the long – awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self–worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us work hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortable inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
小題1:The passage tries to tell us the importance of          .
A．body sizeB．a(chǎn)ttitudes
C．culture differenceD．different beauty standards
小題2: What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．All the problems.B．All the properties
C．The whole worldD．The absolute truth
小題3: What can be inferred about the author?
A．The author is a Samoan
B．The author succeeded in losing weight
C．The author has been troubled by her/his weight.
D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
小題4:. According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?
A．They feel angry about the regained weight
B．They are indifferent to the regained weight
C．They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.
D．They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.

Count Me Out
Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new Internet world.
I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.
Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they are seeking a cure for their illness?
There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn’t interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness.’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”
If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude to computers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.
