My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree 16 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 17 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 18 scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or 19 we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 20 I, consider this 21 .
We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness 22 nonsense. As an old saying 23 :“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not 24 anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that 25 one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 26 about Beckham’s good looks.
If we close our eyes, 27 in deep thought, we can find that the things 28 us to be in truth happy, sad or moved 29 a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial things, 30 we will find that we have not really gained anything 31 our first impression has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant 32 we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great 33 .If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it 34 us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have 35 .

试题分析：文章叙述了认为人们应该深刻思考，而不应该被表面现象所迷惑。通过讲述“盲目追星”这一事例，阐明了“看问题不要只看表面，而要‘Go Deep’注重内含”这一论点。作者首先通过分析日常现象引出中心论点，然后分析论证。
小题1:考查介词及语境的理解。agree to some degree在一定程度上"同意"。作者先说在一定程度上"同意"上述人对贝克汉姆相貌和球技的看法，为下一步阐述自己的观点做好铺垫。故选A。
小题2:考查动词短语及语境的理解。A. learn from向某人学习； B. learn学习； C. know知道，认识； D. know about了解。根据下文and how much they know about football 可知这里用的是know about；从后面的how much看，作者是在"质问"对方对贝克汉姆和足球究竟知道多少。故选D。
小题3:考查短语及语境的理解。 A. rather than而不是； B. except for除了； C. except除了； D. apart from除了。“除……外，还有……”，具有“附加性质”。 其他选项具有“排他性质”。从上文中也能找到相同的短语。apart from his appearance有些人喜欢贝克汉姆仅仅是因为他的外貌。对足球除了进球还究竟知道多少呢，故选D。
小题4:考查定语从句及语境的理解。此题为“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句，about 与be uncertain搭配。uncertain和前面的unfamiliar相互补充，说明人们对待事情的盲目性。此处主要是把握前面be unfamiliar with对后文的限制作用，前面是"对……不熟悉"，后面应是"对……不肯定"。故选C。
小题5:考查副词及语境的理解。 A. not不； B. as well as和，表并列； C. rather than而不是； D. but但是。从上文中的we all判断，“不仅仅是我，还有我的朋友”。故选B。
小题6:考查短语及语境的理解。Sorrow伤心；one of life’s regrets 生活中的遗憾。从结构上判断，此句含有宾语和宾补结构，宾语为this，后用单数。从下文的意义上判断，为“生活中的乐趣之一”。 人们把盲目追星当作生活的乐趣之一，故选A。
小题7:考查连词及语境的理解。 A. nor 也不； B. and 和，用在肯定句中； C. or 或者； D. or else否则，要不然的话。否定句中用or连接。“不要达到疯狂和胡闹的程度”。故选C。
小题8:考查动词及语境的理解。 “正如俗语所说的”，此四个选项都有“说”之意，然而它们都有自己的搭配，A. speaks“说语言，演讲”；B. talks “交谈”；C. tells“告诉”；如用says是正确的，此题中的goes与says同义。故选D。
小题9:考查动词及语境的理解。 A. take 拿走； B. judge判断； C. accept 接受； D. conclude推断。judge…by… 或judge… from…“根据……判断”，从上句中能找到相同的意义。我们不应该以貌取人。故选B。
小题10:考查动词及语境的理解。 A. makes sb sb使某人成为某人； B. causes促使； C. builds建造； D. creates创造。“是一个人好的品德和贡献才得以成为明星”。make 之后接复合宾语。明星最重要的东西是他们的"性格"和对社会的贡献，这个能使他们成为一个明星或者令人难忘的一个人。故选A。
小题11:考查形容词及语境的理解。 A. more更多的； B. much多； C. worse更坏的； D. less更少的。从上下文意义上判断，“在外貌上要少说”。故选D。
小题12:考查动词及语境的理解。falling in deep thought当"陷入沉思"讲从句子结构上分析，用现在分词形式作伴随状语。如果用谓语动词必须用and表并列。如果我们闭上眼睛，陷入沉思，故选C。
小题13:考查定语从句及语境的理解。从句子结构上分析，此处为定语从句，that代替先行词things，所以谓语用复数形式，关系代词在从句中作主语，that 不能省略。故选A。
小题14:考查动词及语境的理解。 A. lack缺乏； B. have有； C. include包括； D. cover覆盖。此句的句子结构较复杂，主语是前面的the things ，此题要填谓语动词，由于主语和谓语之间有一个定语从句，造成了句子的复杂性。意义为“……有明确的意义”。故选B。
小题15:考查短语及语境的理解。 A. in fact事实上； B. indeed的确； C. in a while一会儿； D. sooner 迟早。or later从意义上判断，“如果我们不注重内含，满足表面的东西，迟早会发现我们将一无所获”。
故选D。
小题16:考查连词及语境的理解。 A. so因此，表示前后是因果关系； B. even though即使；C. because 因为； D. although尽管。 从句子的连接上分析有“因果”关系。故选C。
小题17:考查连词及语境的理解。 A. even if即使； B. although尽管； C. unless 除非； D. if如果。从意义上判断，“除非我们意识到这点并做某些改变，否则的话……”。 故选C。
小题18:考查名词及语境的理解。A. joy高兴； B. progress 进步； C. effort努力； D. work工作。从意义上判断，“更注重内含是一个人进步（成熟）的象征”。故选B。
小题19:考查动词及语境的理解。A. cares关心； B. pains费心； C. worries担忧； D. minds思想。pains在此为及物动词，意为“费（苦）心”，这种意义与上下文是相通的。如果我们对一切事情深入思考的话，无论是多么的使我们费心，我们将最终证明我们已经长大，故选B。
小题20:考查动词及语境的理解。A. come来； B. made 使； C. had 有； D. become成为。根据句子结构判断，应该用系动词。如果我们对一切事情深入思考的话，无论是多么的使我们费心，我们将最终证明我们已经长大，我们已经成为多么的敏感、多么的成熟和多么的聪明的人，故选D。 |

题材分类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he 36 from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months 37 it took long for the skin to stop shrinking (收缩). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch 38 on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaton, 39 will pay any more attention to your scar 40 you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother 41 .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head 42 high — glad he was alive.
43 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better, 44 you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer 45 .
But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your 46 , or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false 47 .
One of my friends in college was very 48 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his 49 for about 10 seconds. This man felt 50 about himself and spent most of his time 51 about other people’s comfort and welfare(幸福). 52 , people ignored his looks. What people 53 was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.
Therefore, concentrate on what you value 54 yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same 55 .

One of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their goals is how they measure success. I see individuals getting frustrated as they struggle hard for success.
One of the main reasons that cause this frustration is that people allow their definition of success to be determined by someone or something else. Another is that they become frustrated at their own apparent lack of success when comparing themselves to other people.
We are individuals with individual wants, skills and experiences. We should look at our own skills to determine what is successful to us. We should look inwards to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone else’s.
Evaluating a successful person needs to look at his pathway to success, his actions ，his determination and translate that into his own experience to see how he can improve himself.
You must set your own course of action, and stay on your course. You alone must determine what success means to you. Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself. For example, I believe that I am successful but I am not a millionaire! Others may not see me as successful in their eyes but that does not matter. It is how I see myself that is important to me and my life.
Here is the truth. Being a success is doing your best, not being the best. Success is not something you become; it is something you continue being.
When we get to that point, we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less frustration. And that sounds good to us!
Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill, “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”
小题1:What’s the best title of this passage?| A．Frustration Determines Success | | B．The Importance of Frustration to Success | | C．How to Measure Success | | D．Evaluations of a Successful Person |

小题4:According to the passage the writer advises us to_____.| A．attach the importance to others’ attitude and evaluation | | B．learn from others ，failure | | C．set a proper goal and strive to realize it | | D．look at others’ skills to determine what is successful to us |

I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not 36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much 37 than others.
I hated going to school and I hated 38 at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing 39 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the 40 and seeing an ugly and hunchback(驼背).
My friends found me 41 because I didn’t let other get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life 42 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school—a spot where no one would
43 me. That’s when I first heard your voice.
“Hi. Can I sit down?”
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
“What are you looking at?” you asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No 44 .”
“I bet they’re playing games and make friends. Don’t you think so?”
That was how our 45 started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche(处境)—until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, you saw my 46 . She just stared.
My heart 47 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would 48 me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know 49 your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be 50 . I begged in my heart for her to 51 , but you just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered 52 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is bunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was 53 . I looked into your eyes and her 54 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to 55 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind – hearted friend.
