解析

小题1: C
解析 由句意可知,这位女舞蹈演员在很小的时候就接受舞蹈训练。故选C项。
小题2: B
解析 由句意可知,因为在一次事故中失去了整个左臂,她在之后的几年当中陷入一种消沉沮丧的状态,depression沮丧,消沉,符合句意。
小题3: C
解析 根据下文“...she started to do some of her old routines...”可知,她不能离开和忘记舞蹈。
小题4: B
解析 根据下文“...could even make simple turns and spins without ____.”可知,在舞蹈中做出旋转动作需要身体保持平衡,因为她失去了一只胳膊而无法保持平衡。
小题5: D
解析 因为失去胳膊,即使是简单的旋转,她也要练习一段时间才不致于失去平衡摔倒在地。
小题6: A
解析 根据下文她决定去找这个男人可知,她应该是先听说了这个失去一条腿的男人。hear of听说,符合语境。
小题7: D
解析 根据下文这个男人不愿意跳舞可知,她要说服他和她一起跳舞。
小题8: B
解析 根据上文“He had never danced.And to dance with one leg...”可知,男士认为她在和自己开玩笑。
小题9: B
解析 前面提到男士不同意跟她一起跳舞,之后又同意考虑,因此可知她一直没有放弃说服男士。
小题10: A
解析 根据上文可知,这个男人完全不会跳舞,所以她要教他跳舞。
小题11: A
解析 下面的内容提示因为男士没有舞蹈基础,所以他们在合作的时候会出现各种问题。根据下文中“...lost patience with him,he would walk out.”可推测,这一对组合分开过几次,所以选broke up解散,分开。
小题12: D
解析 男士之前没有受过舞蹈培训,因此不知道如何在跳舞时控制自己的身体。

小题18: C
解析 由句意可知,他能够在一条腿的支撑下做出俯身的动作。
小题19: D
解析 因为把注意力集中在只有一条腿的男舞蹈演员身上,作者甚至都没有意识到女演员失去了一只胳膊。
小题20: A

举一反三
It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.
“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals (凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I saved them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
“Am I rich? Pity, no!”
I looked at my worn-out slipcovers (椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer (茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.

Although his       prevents him from going to school, he gives himself an education by studying at home. Being unable to      himself, he uses a special typewriter to write letters to his friends and beautiful poems which      the true depth of his thoughts and character. Another reason why I admire Gary is that he never feels sorry for himself. He says, for instance, that being unable to move around       gives him more time to think. In fact, he always      to see the bright side of any situation, so instead of needing his friends to       him, he actually cheers us up when we are       or depressed.

Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let’s face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn’t come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.
Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.
When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.
When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you’re undertaking at the moment. Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted by ambition.
Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.
小题1:How can we live with contentment?
A.To change our lifestyle.
B.To have a motivation in life.
C.To give less attention to what we are grateful for.
D.To realize the difference between needs and desires.
小题2:What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.Make wise decisions.B.Know the present situation
C.Let go of regrets.D.Remember the past.
小题3:The underlined word “elide”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “__”.
A.enjoyB.changeC.createD.neglect
小题4:What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?
A.Make time for simple pleasures.
B.Learn from successful people.
C.Focus on your future goals.
D.Create chance to learn more.

Long long ago, a circle missed one piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its       piece. But because it was       and therefore could roll only very slowly, it       the flowers along the way. It       with the worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but       of them fitted. So it left them all by the side of the road and       searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted      . It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll.       it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast,       fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. After it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it      , left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The       of the story, I suggest, is that in some strange       we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has       is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it       like to nourish his soul with the dream of something      . When we accept that       is part of being human and when we can continue rolling       life and appreciate it, we will have       a wholeness that others can only desire, which , I believe, is _    God asks of us — not “Be perfect”, not “Don’t even make a mistake”,       “Be whole”.
