12.There is a happy truth to be shared with all who would notice.The truth has been expressed as:April (1)showersbring May flowers.This is a truth that promises light would burst from darkness,strength would be born from(2)weaknessand if one dares to believe this,he would(3)succeedin doing what he plans to do.
Farmers all over the world know the(4)importanceof the seasons.They know that there is a season to plant and a season to(5)harvest;everything must be done in its own time.Although the rain pours down,stopping all(6)outdooractivities,farmers lift their(7)facesto the heavens and smile.Despite the inconvenience,they know that the rain(8)providesthe nourishment ( 營養(yǎng)) their crops need to grow and flourish (繁榮).The rains in the month of April give rise to the beautiful flowers in the month of May.
But this ancient truth tells us more than that-it is a valuable message of(9)hope   to all who experience tragedy in life.A broken relationship with one can(10)open up  the door to a new friendship with another.A(11)lost  job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there.A(12)broken  dream can become the foundation of a wonderful future.(13)rememberthis:Darkness may last for a night,but it will never overcome the  (14)lightof the morning.When you are in a(15)season of sorrow,don't be depressed,because a season of joy may be just around the corner.

分析 跟大家分享一個令人愉快的真理:四月的雨帶來五月的花.這一真理預示了光明來自黑暗,剛強源于脆弱.如果你相信的話,生命就來源于死亡.世上的農民都知道季節(jié)的重要性和永恒性.他們知道,在哪個季節(jié)播種,在哪個季節(jié)收獲,萬事都要在合適的時間去完成.
  盡管外面的瓢潑大雨阻止了一切勞作,但農民依舊微笑著.因為他知道,雨水提供了作物生長必備的滋養(yǎng).四月的大雨如注,帶來了五月的繁花似錦.
   這個古老的真理同樣給生命中飽經(jīng)滄桑的人以暗示,與某人的關系破裂會為你打開與另一人發(fā)展出新關系的門,工作的丟失會為你帶來更好的工作;一個夢想的破滅會帶來更加美好的將來;請記住,黑暗也許會持續(xù)一整夜,但它永遠無法戰(zhàn)勝清晨的陽光,可知當你處在悲傷的季節(jié)中,不要沮喪,因為快樂的季節(jié)也許就在轉角處.

解答 1:由下文 The rains in the month of April       the beautiful flowers in the month of May 可知"四月的雨會帶來五月的鮮花",showers 有"陣雨"之意,可代替 rains.wind 意為"風",labor 意為"勞動力",seed 意為"種子",均不符合文意.故正確答案為C.
2:根據(jù)上文,"四月的陣雨會帶來五月的鮮花","光明會從黑暗中掙脫而出",均暗示不好的事物孕育著美好,此處"優(yōu)勢(strength)誕生于弱點(weakness)"符合邏輯.sadness 雖屬于不好的方面,但是不能與 strength 形成對應關系,不符合上下文邏輯.happiness 意為"快樂,幸福",calmness 意為"鎮(zhèn)定,平靜",均不符合文意.故正確答案為A.
3:結合上文所述的是積極向上的觀點,可知一個人若敢于相信這個事實,他就會在進行所計劃的事情時成功(succeed).succeed in (doing) sth."成功做某事",符合題意.fail in 意為"失敗",believe in 意為"相信",result in 意為"導致",均不符合文意.故正確答案為B.
4:結合下文 everything must be done in its own time 可知"(農民們知道)所有的事情都要在各自的時間來做",意即"世界上所有的農民都知道四季的重要性(importance)".change 意為"變化",difference 意為"不同",choice 意為"選擇",均不符合文意.故正確答案為D.
5:結合句意,"他們知道有種植的季節(jié),有收獲(harvest)的季節(jié)".harvest 與 plant 形成對照,符合題意.rest 意為"休息;靜止",sow 意為"播種"與 plant 重復,gather 意為"收集",均不符合文意.故正確答案為B.
6:結合上下文,大雨傾盆(the rain pours down)與 stopping all      activities 是因果關系,根據(jù)常識,大雨會阻止所有的戶外(outdoor)活動.usual 意為"通常的",normal 意為"正常的",favorite 意為"最喜愛的",均不符合文意.故正確答案為C.
7:結合上下文可知,大雨傾盆,農民卻笑了(smile),說明他們以樂觀的心態(tài)看待這場大雨,lift their faces to the heavens 意為"面朝天空"與 smile 形成順承關系,符合題意.hand 意為"手",eyebrow 意為"眉毛",arm 意為"手臂",均不符合文意.故正確答案為A.
8:結合前文 Despite the inconvenience 可知盡管大雨帶來很多的不方便,但農民知道它給作物提供(provides)生長所需的營養(yǎng).make 意為"做;制造",take 意為"拿,。缓馁M",均不合文意.produce 意為"生產",大雨可以提供營養(yǎng)物質,但大雨不能直接生產營養(yǎng)物質,D項錯誤.故正確答案為B.
9:結合上文,它告訴"我們"的不止這些,暗示下文繼續(xù)闡述它所帶給"我們"的東西,對于所有經(jīng)歷悲劇者來說它是希望的訊息,高興(joy).courage (勇氣),hope (希望),decision(決心)",均不符合文意.故正確答案為C.
10:結合上文,它給所有經(jīng)歷悲劇者帶去希望的訊息,暗示悲劇過后會有希望,與某人的關系破裂會為你打開(open up)與另一人發(fā)展出新關系的門.hold up 意為"支撐,舉起",set up 意為"建立",make up 意為"彌補",均不符合文意,故正確答案為B.
11:結合上文的邏輯關系,與某人的關系破裂會為你打開與另一人發(fā)展出新關系的門,在這里丟了(lost)工作,會為你提供在別處覓得更好工作的機會.good  job 意為"好工作",part-time job 意為"兼職",permanent job 意為"穩(wěn)定的工作",均不符合文意.故正確答案為D.
12:結合上文,"與某人的關系破裂會為你打開與另一人發(fā)展出新關系的門","在這里丟了工作,會為你提供在別處覓得更好工作的機會","破碎的(broken)夢想可以變成美好未來的基礎"三句為并列關系,句子內部的邏輯性相同,故應為"破碎的"夢想.wonderful 意為"美好的",wild 意為"狂熱的;野生的",pleasant 意為"令人愉快的",均不符合文意.故正確答案為C.
13:Suppose"假定;猜想";Imagine"設想";Mind"介意";Remember"記住".
結合上下文,作者想要人們記。╮emember)這個道理,故正確答案為A.
14:結合上文,可知"黑暗也許會持續(xù)一整夜,但它永遠無法戰(zhàn)勝清晨的陽光(light)".peace 意為"和平;安寧",arrival 意為"到來",戰(zhàn)勝的對象不能是"到來",darkness 意為"黑暗",均不符合文意.故正確答案為D.
15:結合下文 a season of joy 可知當你處在悲傷的季節(jié)(season)中,不要沮喪,因為快樂的季節(jié)也許就在轉角處.a season of joy 與 a season of sorrow 前后對應.sense 意為"感覺;觀念",situation 意為"處境",mood 意為"情緒",均不符合文意.故正確答案為B.

點評 本文講述了生活中的哲理性問題,題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題,做題時結合原文和題目,有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析,結合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷也是在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

3.There was once a family of three sons.The boys were not kind to one.another.In fact,they (11)B   constantly,each one trying'to outdo the others in'some  sort of sport. (12)A,if one boy were building a raft,(13)Dhad to build a canoe.

17.When Jeff Sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes with colored pencils,he often has to ask other people to tell him what color his masked men turned out to be because he's color-blind.Now,a new smart phone application (app) can help him figure out what colors he's using and how the picture looks to most everyone else.
The DanKam app,available for iPhone and Android for 2.99dollars,is an application that turns the vague colors that one percent of the population with color-blindness sees into the"true"colors as everyone else sees them.In America,an estimated 32 million color-blind Americans-95% are males-can soon have their life improved.
"DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phone's camera and changes the colors slightly so they fall within the range that people who are color-blind see,"developer Dan Kaminsky told CNET.He came up with the idea after watching the 2009film Star Trek with a color-blind friend.
It was then that he got to know more about colorblindness like its varying types and degrees.A vast majority,for instance,have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect(遺傳缺陷).Blue-yellow colorblindness,however,is rarer and develops later in life because of aging,illness or head injuries,etc.He started experimenting with one of the most common representations of points in the RGB color model.What the DanKam app attempts to do is to clean up the color space of the image or video signal so that colors can be visible to those suffering from viewing problems."You can adjust the app to fit your needs.There is a range and not everyone who is color-blind sees things the same."Says Kaminsky.
Sparkman,a copy editor at CNET,tried out the app and was pleased with the results."It would be useful for dressing for a job interview,"he said.But using it for his art is"the most practical application."It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets,which means Sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display as green.

61.According to the first two paragraphs,we can know that DanKamA.
A.is designed to help people with colorblindness
B.can turn vague colors into real ones
C.is a phone used to help drawing pictures  
D.appeared in the movie Star Trek
62.How does DanKam's app work?D
A.It puts LED and other lights on electronic gadgets.
B.It shows common representations of points in the RGB color model
C.It checks color-blind people's types of degrees of colorblindness.
D.It changes the colors so that color-blind people can see them.
63.It can be inferred from the passage that colorblindnessB.
A.cannot be cured by any methods   
B.is not necessarily inborn disease
C.is more commonly seen in women  
D.makes people unable to tell any colors
64.The underlined word visible in Paragraph 4is closest in meaning toD.
A.recognizable    
B.enjoyable    
C.adjustable    
D.portable
65.Which of the following is NOT included in the things that DanKam helps Sparkman with?B
A.Choosing clothes.
B.Playing computer games
C.Drawing his pictures.
D.Handling electronic gadgets.
