When Joe was about to start school, all signs pointed to success. Yet things turned out to be quite    . The fourth grade even found him at the     of the class. Joe struggled day and night, but it did not      until one stormy afternoon.
On that afternoon,      the math teacher started to introduce difficult concepts, dark clouds covered the sky, and the storm set in. Hard though she tried to make the kid    , the thunder won the battle for their attention. No one    the concepts, except for Joe. He understood them and answered all the questions correctly. The teacher patted him on the back, and told him to go around to the others and explain how he had managed it.     by his newfound success, Joe moved quickly throughout the room. Soon math time was followed by the time for      . All children naturally drew    pictures on such a day. Except for Joe.
Since then, Joe started       . Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always       and curious about the change: Why had that stormy day changed Joe? On the day Joe graduated, he presented the teacher with his most      possession—the picture of a bright yellow sun. On the picture Joe had written: This is the day I      my brightness.
It is easy to overlook the role that your body plays in influencing your mood(情绪). When you are      , you may find yourself blaming work pressures or an unknown future. However, it could just be that you've been sitting behind your desk too long.
One way to improve your mood is     . Psychologically, it provides you with a break from the stresses in your life. Also, in the process, you may aim for    goals, like a new personal running record or a better body shape. The achievement of a particular goal makes you feel good and contributes to your       . That is why exercise has been shown to      your self-respect.
You do not have to train yourself      to feel the psychological benefits of exercise. What really matters is      , not intensity(强度) of your exercise. You can try walking for 30 minutes five times per week or simply gardening on weekends.

试题分析:本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Joe虽然曾是个好学生,但是突然情况急转直下,虽然他努力过,但是没有成效。一场雷雨却改变了Joe的学习轨迹。在别的同学不能集中注意力的情况下,Joe却掌握了老师讲的所有的概念,于是老师鼓励他给同学们讲解他是如何做到这一点的。在一个阴雨天,Joe却看到了希望的阳光,而充满阳光的画也成了他最珍贵的记忆。最后一段点出文章主旨大意。
小题1:考查形容词辨析:A. unfair不公平的,B. boring令人厌烦的,C. disappointing令人失望的, D. dangerous危险的,利用上下文语境。根据上文all signs pointed to success, 和yet可知情况发生了变化,不是朝向成功的方向,而是令人失望,所以选择C
小题2:考查名词辨析:A. center中心,B. top顶部,C. beginning 开始,D. bottom底部,利用上下文的语境。如果能确定36题答案,确定本题答案难度不大。因为情况是令人失望的,可知Joe的成绩在班里是排在最后,所以答案选择bottom, at the bottom of意为“在…底部”。选D
小题3:考查动词辨析:A. happen发生,B. work工作,奏效,C. finish完成,D. last持久,把握句内的逻辑关系。本句中Joe struggled day and night说明他很努力,后面的but提示虽然努力了,但是没有见效(work),所以答案为B
小题4:考查连词辨析:A. until直到,B. since自从,C. because因为,D. as正如,因为,当…时候,把握句子间的逻辑关系。本句中表达的是在数学老师解释概念的时候发生的事情,所以用as引导时间状语从句,所以选择as。D

小题6:考查动词辨析:A. challenged挑战,B. grasped抓住,掌握,C. doubted怀疑,D. admitted承认,根据上下文推断。上句中说到学生不能把注意力集中在老师讲的内容上,所以没有人能够掌握那些概念。选B
小题7:考查形容词辨析:A. Relieved宽慰的,B. Surprised惊讶的,C. Encouraged受到鼓励的,D. Puzzled困惑的,根据生活常识和上下文推断。上句中提到只有Joe能正确回答这些问题,所以老师拍拍他的背,让他向同学解释他是怎样做到的。本句中说的是Joe受到鼓励,在教室里来回穿梭。由此确定答案为选C
小题8:考查名词辨析:A. class班级,B. sports运动,C. art艺术,D. tea茶,根据上下文语境。下句中all children drew pictures可知数学课之后是美术课。所以答案选C

“How lucky you are to be a doctor…” Anyone who’s a doctor is right out of luck, I thought. Anyone who’s studying medicine should have his head examined.
You may think I want to change my job. Well, at the moment I do. As one of my friends says-even doctors have a few friends-it’s all experience. Experience! I don’t need such experience. I need a warm, comfortable, undisturbed bed of my own. I need it badly. I need all telephones to be thrown down the nearest well, that’s what I need.
All these thoughts fly round my head as I drive my Mini(微型汽车) through the foggy streets of East London at 3:45 a.m. on a December morning. I am a ministering angel in a Mini with a heavy coat and a bag of medicines. As I speed down Lea Bridge in the dark at this horrible morning hour, the heater first blowing hot then cold, my back aching from the car-seat, I do not feel like a ministering angel. I wish I were on the beach in southern France. Call me a bad doctor if you like. Call me what you will. But don’t call me at half past three on a December morning for an ear-ache that you have had for two weeks.
Of course, being a doctor isn’t really all bad. We do have our moments. Once in a while people are ill, once in a while you can help, once in a while you get given a cup of tea and rock-hard cake at two o’clock in the morning-then you worry if you have done everything. But all too often ‘everything’ is a repetitious rule: look, listen, feel, tap, pills, injection, phone, ambulance, away to the next.
And then there is always the cool, warm voice of the girl on the switchboard of the emergency bed service who will get your patient into hospital for you-the pleasant voice that comes to you as you stand in the cold, dark, smelly, dirty telephone box somewhere in a dangerous section of town. Oh, it has its moments, this life does.
