感恩之心即满足之心，满足之心即简单之心；感恩打开了通往简单生活的大门，但是我们生活在产生不满的文化中。本文主要介绍了四个找回感恩之心的方法。1．G [根据空前一句并结合下文介绍的四个找回感恩之心的方法可知，空处承上启下，故G项符合语境。]2．D [根据空前一句可知，感恩从不是你下次的成功或成就的结果，感恩是现在在你内心可找到的，所以选D项。]3．E [空前列举的都是美好的事，E项中的“wonderfulthingsinyourlife”与此呼应，故选E项。]4．C [根据空处所在位置可知，空处为该段的主题句，本段主要讲述的是世界上有很多悲苦大众，我们应该看到他们，所以选C项。]5．F [根据空后一句中的“Butitcanbemoredifficultduringthetrialsoflife”可知，空处与空后一句形成对比，应是说明万事顺利时感恩是很容易做到的，所以选F项。]Ⅲ.语法填空(2020·郑州市高中毕业年级第一次质量检测)Ifyou'veeverriddenpublictransport，you'veprobablyheardsnores(打鼾声)andfoundsomeonesleepingintheseatacrossfromyou.Thenaturalvibration(震动)ofbusesandsubways1.________(make)usfeelsleepy，accordingtoanewstudyinScienceAlert.Why?It'sallaboutsensoryinput—informationgoingtoyourbrain.Onabus，yoursensesgiveyou2.________(continue)andrepeatinginformation.Forexample，theairconditionerandtheenginecreateconstantnoise.Meanwhile，you'resittingstillandyour3.________(surrounding)don'tchange.Thevibrationsoftheenginearealsoongoing.Yourbrainhasalmostnonewinformationtoprocess.Repeatinginformationwillbe4.________(ignore)eventuallyandyourbrainwillenteralowenergystate.Thefactthatyoufallasleepquicklywithyoureyes5.________(close)onabusisbecauseyourbraingetsusedtoalltherepeatinginformation.“Whenyou'retired，itdoesn'ttakemuchtime6.________(start)noddingoff.Andwe'vefoundthatthegentlevibrationsmadebycarseats7.________youdrivecanrelaxyourbrainandbody，”saidStephenRobinson，8.________researcherfromtheRMITUniversityinMelbourne，Australia.Robinson'steammonitored15volunteers'heartratevariability—awellknownindicatorofsleepiness.Thisresearchcanassistinthedevelopmentofpracticaland\nrelevantguidelinesforlimiting9.________(expose)tovibrationsinthecarindustry.Robinsonbelievedthattheresearchcouldbehelpful10.________improvingroadsafety.“Wehopethatfuturecarseatdesignscanbuildinfeaturestodisturbthisrelaxingeffectandfightvibrationinduced(震动引起的)sleepiness，”hesaid.【语篇解读】 我们乘坐公共交通工具时，经常会看到有人打瞌睡。一项新的研究发现造成此现象的原因是交通工具的正常震动。1．makes [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处为句子的谓语，此处陈述的为客观情况，应用一般现在时；又句子主语表示单数概念，故用其一般现在时的单数形式makes。]2．continuous/continuing/continued/continual [考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，空处应为形容词，修饰名词information，所以填continuous或continuing或continued或continual。]3．surroundings [考查名词。分析句子结构可知，空处被形容词性物主代词your修饰，应用名词形式，所以填surroundings“环境”。]4．ignored [考查动词的语态。分析句子结构可知，此处与句子主语Repeatinginformation构成被动关系，故应用被动结构，即be＋done；另句中已有be，所以填ignored。]5．closed [考查非谓语动词。with复合结构为“with＋名词/代词＋分词/形容词/副词/介词短语/名词”在句子中作状语。youreyes和动词close构成逻辑上的动宾关系，所以填closed。]6．tostart [考查非谓语动词。此处考查固定句型“ittakessometimetodosth.”，其中it作形式主语，不定式短语为真正的主语。]7．when/as/while [考查状语从句。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，空处引导一个状语从句，意为“当……的时候”，所以填when或as或while。]8．a [考查冠词。researcher是可数名词，又是第一次在语境中出现，表泛指，故用不定冠词修饰，又researcher的发音以辅音音素开头，故用a。]9．exposure [考查名词。分析句子结构可知，空处应为名词，作动词limit的宾语，所以填exposure。]10．in [考查介词。behelpfulindoingsth.“有助于做某事”是固定用法，所以填介词in。]Ⅳ.短文改错(2020·贵阳市适应性考试)DearSir/Madam，Iwholeheartedlywanttobeavolunteerofyours.Hereissomethingaboutyou.I\namastudentwhowillgraduateseniorhighschool.Ialwaysregardmyclassasmyfamilyorsacrificemypersonallyinterestswhenevernecessary.Besidestakeanactivepartinclassactivities，Iworkresponsiblytobuildareputationfortheteam.IrespectedallthepeoplearoundmeandI'malwayswillingtogiveahandtothoseinneed.I'mstrictinmyself，makingeveryefforttoachieveanallrounddevelopment.Atthetimeofdifficult，Ialwayskeepstrongminded.Inaddition，IamgoodatEnglishinbothspeakingandinwriting.IwasinanAmericanhostfamilyfor20daysinthesummercampandknowhowtogetalongwellwithforeigners.Lookingforwardtoyourearlyreply.Sincerelyyours，LiHua[答案]
