一、完成句子1.makefulluseof2.Tobehonest3.Itseemsthat4.sharethestrategies5.encouragechildrento二、阅读理解1.B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“ButMoorewassickofmissingoutoncandies.Soshedesiredtogetroundthewarning,‘Whycan’tImakeahealthycandythat’sgoodformyteethsothatmyparentscan’tsaynotoit?’”及下文她想方设法最终制作出了叫CanCandy的糖果可知,她对父亲的警告的反应是:她试图找到一个方法,解决问题。故选B项。2.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Consequently,shesucceededinmakingakindofcandyonlyusingnaturalsweeteners,whichcanreduceoralbacteria.”可知,这种糖只使用天然甜味剂,可以减少口腔细菌,因此它对牙齿有利。故选A项。3.B细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Moorewantstouseheruniquetalenttohelpothersfindtheirsmiles.”可知,Moore想用她独特的才能帮助其他人找到自己的笑容。故选B项。4.C推理判断题。文章主要讲述了Moore的创业故事,她之所以能成功,是因为面对问题和困难时,她乐观地看待问题,积极地想方设法去解决问题。因此,通过她的故事让我们懂得积极的思考和行动会带来成功。故选C项。三、阅读七选五1．G根据下文Herearefourreasonswhyself­improvementisimportantregardlessofyour

age.可知，G项(也就是说，无论你多大，自我提高都很重要)符合文意。G项importance和nomatterhowoldyouare与文中important和regardlessofyourage同义。2．F根据上文Self­awarenessisanongoingjourney.可知，自我意识是一个持续的过程。故F项(随着生命的进展，你会遇到不同的经历和挑战)符合文意。F项中Aslifeprogresses符合上文中anongoingjourney，且空后的定语从句中which指代的是F项中的differentexperiencesandchallenges。3．C根据上文Itgivesyouabetterunderstandingofwhatyouareseekingandwhereyouarelikelytobemoreexcellent.可知，C项(它也会帮助你设定人生目标，并让它们实现)符合文意，都说得knowingyourstrengths的好处。上下句中的it指的都是knowingyourstrengths。4．E根据本段小标题Overcomeweaknesses可知，本段讲述克服弱点。E项(尽管知道自己的长处是自我提高的重要方面)与空后句youshouldcometotermswithyourweaknesses承接自然，且符合本段语境。5．B空处是段落小标题。根据下文Choosingtoworkonimprovingyourselfrequiresyoutotakeyourtripoutofcomfortableareas.Itletsyoufaceyourfears,trynewthings,takerisksandchallengeyourself.可知，本段主要讲述走出舒适区。B项(走出舒适区)适合作为本段小标题。四、语法填空1.how。考查副词。句意:在很小的时候,欧德里拉·巴苏不知道如何与自然相处。根据第一段第二句可知,她会像其他孩子一样,为了好玩就爬树或破坏鸟巢。由此可知她在年纪很小的时候还不知道如何和自然相处。howtolivewithnature意为“如何与自然相处”,符合语境。故填how。2.t
