Although his passing was very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken forgranted, and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. One day, when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma.I suppose grandmas primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpas quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor.Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest. When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn. My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.26. What did grandma learn from grandpas death?A. Good health was not there for everyone.B. She should take dance lessons.C. She had to struggle to live a better life.D. She should wear beautiful dresses.【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。根据good health was not to be taken forgranted，对于大家来说好的健康已经不在了，故选A。27. How did the authors family feel when Grandma decided to take dance lessons?A. Hopeless. B. Helpless. C. Embarrassed. D. Proud.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。根据we rolled our eyes in embarrassment可知作者的家人都感到尴尬，故选C。28. Normal grandmas usually _ in the authors point of view?A. took dance lessonsB. did some exercises at homeC. took care of grandchildren at homeD. did some housework at home【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did.在作者眼中祖母就是能在家做做家务，故选D。29. The author felt _ when he was invited to watch grandmas match.A. happy B. proud C. excited D. uninterested【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point,作者对于祖母的邀请他去看比赛感到没有兴趣，故选D。30. The text is mainly aboutA. my grandmas confidence B. my dancing grandmaC. my grandmas dancing D. my grandmas gold cup【答案】B【解析】主旨大意题。根据全文的内容可知关于祖母的事情，故选B。语法填空。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。阅读下面材料, 在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。Every day has the potential to be a good and, in some cases, a great day for you. Few of us get up in the morning1(think)that we want this to be a bad day. Yet in many cases the day turns that way because of a person or an event2we worry about.Think about those small events which can throw you off balance and affect your whole day3(negative). Who stole your day? Was4a boss, an unruly child, an erratic driver on the way to work, getting5“F”on a history paper, 6an impolite waiter at lunch that did?Every day numerous people or events can prevent us from having a good day, if we let them. The key is that we should adopt a positive attitude towards life. We cannot control7happens to us in many cases, but we can control how we react8these events.Lao-tzu, a Chinese philosopher, 9(say), “He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers10is mighty. ”【文章大意】每一天既可能会朝着好的方面发展, 也可能会朝着坏的方面发展, 关键是看我们对生活采取的态度。虽然我们不能控制会发生什么事, 但我们可以控制我们对所发生的事情的态度。1. 【解析】thinking。考查现在分词。think和逻辑主语few of us之间是主动关系, 应用现在分词作伴随状语。2. 【解析】that。考查关系代词。that引导定语从句修饰先行词a person or an event, that在从句中作介词about的宾语, 先行词中既有人也有事物, 不可用which。3. 【解析】negatively。考查副词。修饰动词(affect), 应用副词。4. 【解析】it。考查代词。本句是强调句, 句中缺少it。5. 【解析】an。考查冠词。F表示的是学业成绩中的F级别, 是一个可数名词, 此处是泛指“一个F级别”, 应用不定冠词; F是以元音音素开头的, 应用不定冠词an修饰。6. 【解析】or。考查并列连词。an impolite waiter和“F”on a history paper是并列关系, 表示的是一种可能性, 应用or, 意为“或者”。7. 【解析】what。考查宾语从句。control后跟的是一个宾语从句, 从句中缺少主语, 应用what引导。8. 【解析】to。考查介词。react to sth. 对某事做出反应, 是固定搭配。9. 【解析】said。考查时态。表述过去发生的事情, 应用一般过去时。10. 【解析】himself。考查代词。由He who conquers others is strong可知, 此处指的是“征服自己的人才是强大的”。主语是he, 所以反身代词用himself。【2020届云南省玉溪一中高一下学期期末考试】完形填空（共20小题;每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。There was a store a half hours walk from my apartment, and it was the cheapest place to buy food for us students studying abroad in France, 41 there was always a long checkout line.
