Will this hurt my fame? Should I even be worrying about my fame? Finally,I decided that it was more important to contribute something to the world than it was to protect myself from criticism.The truth about criticism is that its almost always in your head.It is natural for most people to hold onto negative criticism.According to a research paper titled “Bad Is Stronger Than Good” by Roy Baumeister and researchers at Florida State University,we are more likely to remember negative criticism than praise.Baumeister found that even happy people are more likely to remember more negative events than positive ones.In fact,Baumeister and his team say that when it comes to your brain,it takes about five positive events to make up for one negative one.5.What prevented the author from getting started on writing?A.Her own fears.B.Her lack of experience.C.Peoples judgment on her works.D.Peoples different opinions on writing.6.Which word can best replace the underlined word “validated” in Paragraph 4?A.Judged.B.Helped. C.Studied.D.Praised.7.What kind of feeling do the questions in Paragraph 4 show?A.Shock.B.Worry. C.Regret.D.Sadness.8.What can be learned from Roy Baumeisters research?A.We should try to avoid negative events.B.Criticism can bring about positive influence.C.We remember negative criticism more strongly.D.Criticism helps people know more about themselves.二、完型填空My dog Chi Chi always has a smile on her face.However,before my family adopted her,her life was pretty1.Its hard to believe this sweet dog was once left in a dustbin.Her 2 was injured and she was in pain.But when the rescuers got to her,her eyes shone with 3 and she was trying to get to them.Her rescuers drove her to the closest hospital to get her 4.The vets there 5 her by fitting her with a prosthesis (假肢) and shared her 6 on the Internet.Thats how my parents and I first7 her.For weeks,we 8 Chi Chis story and discussed adopting her.We 9 had three dogs.My mom wanted to know who would10 her,because it might be a lot of work to take care of a dog that was 11.We had a lot of12 about Chi Chi.Her rescuers sent us photos and videos.After we adopted her,we made her try different prostheses so she could move around more13.Shes made a lot of progress with her 14,and now she can even jump up on the sofa.Chi Chi has a great attitude15 shes been through something hard,which encourages me to be the best I can be,like she is every day.1.A.normalB.hard C.funD.strange2.A.eyeB.ear C.legD.head3.A.imaginationB.responsibility C.happinessD.dissatisfaction4.A.waterB.food C.courageD.help5.A.savedB.protected C.freedD.examined6.A.priceB.story C.characterD.desire7.A.worried aboutB.cared aboutC.dreamed about D.heard about8.A.copiedB.wrote C.followedD.doubted9.A.alreadyB.never C.alsoD.even10.A.look atB.look for C.look afterD.look into11.A.unsafeB.disabled C.usualD.lonely12.A.ideasB.opinions C.feelingsD.questions13.A.slowlyB.comfortably C.quietlyD.patiently14.A.listeningB.sitting C.eatingD.walking15.A.becauseB.so C.althoughD.unless参考答案一：专题词汇英译中1.月亮的；阴历的2.起源3.周年纪念4. 鞭炮；爆竹5.灯笼6 自助餐7.节日；宴会8.烛光9.糖果10.团圆二：专题词汇中译英1.festival 2.holiday 3.arrange 4.symbol5.decorate 6.invitation 7.gather 8.unite 9.typical 10.harvest 三：专题短语过关1.fall on 2.with the Spring Festival drawing near/around the corner/approaching 3.exchange gifts 4.extend greetings to sb 5.enjoy oneself/have a good (great) time/have fun 6.attend a ceremony 7.be on holiday/vacation 8.celebrate an anniversary 9.date back to 10.dress up 11.watch the dragon boat race 12.consist of/be made up of 13.date from 14.racial discrimination 15.traditional festivals 16.share sorrow as well as happiness with sb17.lead a happy/miserable/simple life 18.set a good example to 19.devote oneself to education 20.become the first agricultural pioneer in the world四：阅读专项训练A1.A由第一段中的“when it comes to nature,the island is one of the most important places on the planet.That is the message of Cuba!”以及第二段中的“The biodiversity of Cuba is part of Cuban identity”可知,Cuba!是在纽约的美国自然历史博物馆举办的一次展览,主要展示了古巴丰富的生物多样性。2.C由划线词后的“6,500 species of plants,161 kinds of reptiles,65 types of amphibians,42 species of mammals,and 367 bird species”可知,古巴拥有6500种植物、161种爬行动物、65种两栖动物、42种哺乳动物和367种鸟类,这也照应了上文中提到的古巴丰富的生物多样性。3.D由倒数第二段中的“But that also creates great challenges for conservation”可知,保护古巴的野生动植物是一大挑战。4.D通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了在纽约的美国自然历史博物馆举办的展览Cuba!展示了古巴丰富的生物多样性。D项作标题符合文章主旨。B5.A由第二段中的“It was my worries about what they would think if I wrote about the things I cared about.”可知答案。6.D由下一句中的“everyone wants to be respected and appreciated to some degree”可知,每个人都希望被尊重、赞扬和认可,因此画线词可以替换为praised(赞扬)。7.B这三个问题是作者在内心问自己的。每个人都想获得他人的肯定,维护自己的声誉,作者也不例外,因此会担心自己的决定影响自己的声誉。8.C由最后一段中的“we are more likely to remember negative criticism than praise”可知答案。二、1.B由本句中表示转折的副词However和下文中的“this sweet dog was once left in a dustbin”可知,在被作者一家收养之前,这只小狗的生活很“艰难(hard)”。2.C由下文中的“by fitting her with a prosthesis”可知,这只小狗的“腿(leg)”受了伤。3.C由上文中的“she was in pain”和本句中的转折连词But以及下文中这只小狗的乐观精神可知,这只小狗在看到救援人员时,眼中流露出“欣喜(happiness)”。4.D由下文中的“The vets there.her by fitting her with a prosthesis”可知,救援人员把这只小狗带到附近的医院接受“帮助(help)”。5.A兽医通过给小狗安装假肢“救助(saved)”它。6.B下文中的Chi Chis story对本空有提示。7.D由下文中的“discussed adopting her”可知,这是作者一家第一次“听说(heard about)”这只小狗。8.C作者一家通过网络“密切关注(followed)”这只小狗的故事。9.A由上文中的discussed和下文中的“My mom wanted to know who would”可推断,作者家“已经(already)”有三只小狗了。10.C由本句中的“because it might be a lot of work to take care of a dog”可知,作者的妈妈想要知道谁想 “照顾(look after)”这只小狗。11.B由上文中的“by fitting her with a prosthesis”可知,这只小狗有“残疾(disabled)”。12.D由下文中的“Her rescuers sent us photos and videos.”可推断,作者一家在收养这只小狗之前有一些“问题(questions)”需要询问。13.B由上下文语境可知,作者和家人给小狗尝试不同的假肢以使它能走得更“舒服(comfortably)”。14.D由上文中的move around和下文中的jump up可知,此处指这只小狗在“走路(walking)”方面进步很大。15.C空格前后两部分构成让步关系,故用although。
