whose hand could it be? one child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers _46_ turkeys. another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and _47_ people. and so the

应该是求学，所以应去college(大学)。22c：studying含义为学习，前面提到作为学生主业应该是与学习相关，其他选项与此不符。23d：爷爷与教授最大的差别应该是年龄，所以选old。本句含义是：尽管他的年龄是教授的两倍，d选项更符合文章主题。24b：know的含义是知道，学习就是为了知道更多的知识，其它选项与题意不符。25a:example的含义是榜样，比其它选项更符合文章主题。26c:同为学生我和爷爷的关系应该是比赛竞争的关系，其它选项说法不恰当。27a:

before his class with some items on the table in front of himstudents were curious but the professor without looking at them 23 a very large and empty jarand then he started to 24 it with small rocks25 the jar appeared full, the professor asked his students whether the jar was fullthe entire class 26 that jar was indeed fullnext, the professor picked up some 27 and began pouring them into the jarthe moment pouring was 28 , he shook the jar lightlyas a result of that, all the small rocks 29 the open areas between the rocks comfortably professor again asked the students if the jar is fullsame 30 from the class like beforeprofessor 31 a bit but silently, and this time he picked up a box of sandhe poured the box into the jar and sand filled the entire 32 spacesat the same time, professor 33 his question to the class, if the jar was full? yes again professor now 34 towards the class and said, this jar 35 your lifeall the things in the jar i poured mean some important lessonsthe rocks are the most important things, 36 is family, your partner, health and your 37 even if everything else in your life goes away but the rocks remains there, your life would still be full 38 the most important things are still present in your lifepebbles represent other significant things like car, house and job etcand the sand is the small stuff or everything else if your time and 39

51b52c53a54a【小题1】c【解析】文章大意：人生有很多大事和小事构成，每天都会有很多事情要处理，应该如何处理它们呢？教授用一个鹅卵石的例子，告诉我们，应该将精力用在主要的事情上。36a教授的工作室给学生上课，这里lecture表示“讲课”。37d没有给学生授课，他在桌子上放了一些别的东西。instead表示“代替，反而”。though尽管；虽然表让步；besides除了还；otherwise否则。38b根据下文的empty jar可知教授在动这个缸，因此选b，他拿起这个缸。39a根据下文的the jar appeared full，可以推断教授往缸中注入小石头。40b instantly用作连词，表示“一就”，下文的the moment pouring was给出了暗示。41d下文的答语that jar was indeed full表明学生们都同意教授的问话。42a下文的as a result of that, all the small rocks给出了提示43b倾倒鹅卵石结束/完成。complete是形容词，表示“结束，完工”。44a鹅卵石滑落到石块的缝隙间，并没有与石块融合，roll into表示“滚入”。45b听到教授的问题，学生们在回答。response相当于answer，表示“响应, 答复”。46d句中的silently说明教授没有说话。 47d remaining用作形容词，表示“剩余的，剩下的”。left是过去分词，常做后置定语；remain是不及物动词。48c教授又一次问了学生们这个问题，故这里指重复以上的问题。49a根据上文的he poured the box into the jar可知此时此刻教授面朝缸，因此他转过身来问学生。50b这个缸象征着人的生命，而并不意味着生命，因此排除b。represent表示“代表, 象征”； compete竞争, 对抗；match和相配, 较量。51b该空后的内容在解释the most important things，故选that is是插入语。52c文中的your partner, health都不属于家人，因此排除a、b选项；children与partner都属于家人。53a because在解释生命依然充实的原因。54a作者在委婉的建议把时间精力花在重要事情上。energy表示人的精力、活力。【小题1】c把时间和精力花在小事情上，就没有重要事情的空间了。room在这里用于比喻。 阅读下面短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从 1-20各题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项.seven loyal readers came to the teens office two weeks
