1．who　先行词是his son，空格后面的从句中缺少主语，故用关系代词who引导定语从句。
2．asked　所填词在句中作谓语，又空格前一分句谓语为一般过去时，故本空应填一般过去式asked。
3．a　依据句意“我会训练你的儿子变成一个真正的男人”，可知该空填不定冠词a，表泛指。
4．to pick　不定式作状语表目的。
5．between　该空填between，指孩子和他的教练之间的竞赛。
6．was repeated　所填词在句中作谓语，表过去的动作，且repeat与this为被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，填was repeated。
7．performance　依据句意“你认为你孩子的表现不是一个男人的表现吗？”及名词全部格后面应接名词的用法可知该空填perform的名词形式performance“表现；表演”。
8．him　这个父亲说“我为他而感到耻辱”，该空填宾格代词him，指代the child。
9．months'　三个月的训练应表达为three months' training。
10．that　空格及后面的从句作动词regret的宾语，从句在句意及结构上均完整，故用that引导宾语从句。语 篇 提 能

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Call me old­fashioned or just plain old, but one of the things I like about airline travel is being required to shut off cell phones during the flight.
The reason I like it is simple. People who aren't attached to devices (装置) are somewhat more likely to have nice conversations with strangers near them.
Usually, in my experience, getting to know someone I've never met and will most likely never meet again is fun.
One time, I sat next to Sasha — young, 17, polite and full of life.
We started with the question we were both dying to ask: the beautiful eyelashes (睫毛) of the flight attendant — real or not?
“When you get a chance，” I whispered. “Ask her.”
Sasha smiled. “I will.” Sasha told me that she was on her way to Las Vegas to spend her spring holiday.
“Where do you go to school？”
“Monterey High，” she said.
I laughed. “Do you know Randall Gym？”
“Yes, sure，” she said.
“It's named for my late husband，” I said. “He taught and coached there for years. Our three children all went to school there, too.”
With that, Sasha pulled out her yearbook and we compared notes on how some things had changed while other things had stayed the same. Isn't that always the way life goes?
She told me she's not sure yet, but she might like to become a writer.
I smiled. “I bet you're a wonderful writer.”
Just then, the flight attendant came down the aisle (走廊) and Sasha asked politely, in a whisper: “Your lashes — are they real？”
The attendant smiled, batted (刺眼) her eyes and shook her head no.
After she left, Sasha said: “I might try fake lashes for the prom (舞会)．”
I thought, I might try them tomorrow. At my age, you can't wait for a prom.
For a moment, I recalled the tall skinny girl I was at Sasha's age, when my life lay before me, a blank page.
Suddenly, we were landing and it was time to go.
In the taxi on my way home I wondered: what will Sasha do with her life? What will I do with mine?
Every morning, at any age, we wake to another blank page.
It's a small and wonderful world, with or without killer lashes (迷人的睫毛) — especially when we shut off the distractions (消遣) once in a while and turn strangers into friends.
1．What about airline travel does the author like?
A．The chance to meet new friends.
B. The uncertainty of the experience.
C. The good service flight attendants usually offer.
D. The quieter atmosphere with cell phones shut off.
答案与解析　A　从文中的前三段可知，作者宠爱飞机旅行的地方在于，飞机上大家都要关闭通信设备，这样就更有可能相互聊起天来。而作者觉得跟从未谋面并且很有可能再也不会见面的人谈天是件快活的事。
2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
A．Sasha knew the author's late husband.
B. Sasha was an experienced and wonderful writer.
C. The author and Sasha enjoyed each other's company.
D. Both Sasha and the author were jealous of the flight attendant's beautiful eyelashes.
答案与解析　C　从文中作者和Sasha“grinned”“laughed”和“smiled”这些动作可知，她们俩的相处很开心，答案为C。
3．We can conclude from the article that the author is a(n) ________ person.
A．shy B. patient
C. determined D. encouraging
答案与解析　D　当Sasha告知作者她想当一名作家以后，作者的反应是：“I smiled. ‘I bet you're a wonderful writer.’”，这里我们可以看出作者在鼓舞她。
4．Which best describes the author's overall tone in this article?
A．Joyful. B. Sad.
C. Nostalgic (怀旧的). D. Mysterious.
答案与解析　A　全文作者谈到她跟Sasha对空姐睫毛真假的疑问，谈到她们都知道的一个体育馆等等，总体的语气是开心的。
Ⅳ.阅读理解七选五
Autumn blues? Let the sunshine in.
Falling leaves, dead flowers, cold winds, faint sunshine. __1__ Spirits can be low.
People who suffer from “the autumn blues” often are extremely exhausted, lack energy, need more sleep, feel increased appetite and gain weight.
“The exact cause of this condition, often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is not known yet，” says Chen Jue, associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Centre. “But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight.”
One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock that controls mood, sleep, and hormones is delayed, running more slowly in winter. __2__ Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit (传输) information between nerves may be changed in individuals with SAD. It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.
“__3__ Remember, spring always lives in your heart，” Chen says.
Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.
·Go outdoors and get some sunlight. Move around. Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory(呼吸)system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system. Thus, exercise is calming and relieves one's mood.
·Relax at work. Stretch, breathe deeply. Take a tea break. Think of your next vacation.
· __4__ Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.
·Look at bright colours, such as red and orange. Colour therapy improves mood.
·Listen to your favourite music. You can dance to it, or just lie on a cozy couch, reading a novel.
· __5__ Blooming plants are cheering.
·Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed. Recall some happy memories.
A．Exposure to light may reset the biological clock
B. Decorate your room and work space with flowers.
C. It is a sad season, but you can try to make it happy.
D. That is the way you can use to lighten yourself.
E. Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.
F. For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression (抑郁)．
G. Autumn always gives us a beautiful scene.
答案　1.F　2.A　3.C　4.E　5.B

I'm very glad to hear you are coming to visit me the next Friday. Fortunately, I won't be able to meet you at the airport although I have classes in the afternoon. You won't find difficult to get to the city centre. The airport bus leaves every 30 minute and will take you right to the Friendship Hotel. My class will be over by then or I will pick you up here. I will bring you to a hot­pot restaurant for dinner and we'll talk with our plan for the weekend over dinner.
Having a pleasant trip and see you Friday.
Yours，
