11.Many books have been written about"the art of giving".But what about the art of receiving?Sometimes,receiving a gift can be difficult,e(81)specially when someone buys you a gift you don't want!
"I remember when I was about twelve years old,my parents b(82)ought me a purple purse,"laughs Guo Xiaojing."It really made me feel embarrassed (尷尬),because I thought the purse was really ugly!Still,I pretended (假裝) that I l(83)iked it because I knew it would make my parents happy!"
Han Ling a(84)grees."That sounds like my grandparents!A few years ago,my grandparents gave me an orange sweater for my birthday.I used to wear it every time I visited t(85)hem,but when I left their house,I took it off!Of course,this made me feel sorry.It was a very nice thought,but my grandparents have different t(86)oughts from me!I think it's hard to buy clothes or other personal things for people."
To make things easier,some people would rather just give money.In some cultures,
h(87)owever,receiving money can make people uncomfortable."When someone gives me money,it just makes me think they're being lazy,"says John Wilson."In England,we have a saying:It's the thought that counts.If someone gives me money,I feel they don't think at
a(88)ll.I prefer to receive a gift that has some thoughts b(89)ehind it.I don't mind if it's something I don't need.If someone has thought about a gift for me,it always makes me happy."
Different people have very different thoughts on this subject!So maybe the art of receiving is e(90)ven more difficult than the art of giving!What do you think?

分析 文章大意:本文講述了許多書(shū)里會(huì)寫(xiě)給予的藝術(shù),但其實(shí)接受也需要藝術(shù),有時(shí)接受一個(gè)禮物也是一件難事,特別是有人買(mǎi)了你不想要的禮物時(shí),但還是要假裝喜歡,因?yàn)榕聜怂投Y人的心,所以有的人為了方便,干脆送錢(qián),但這會(huì)讓人不舒服,很多人覺(jué)得當(dāng)別人買(mǎi)禮物,至少用了心去想的,但直接送錢(qián)就會(huì)讓人覺(jué)得他們很懶.每個(gè)人都有不同的看法,所以接受的藝術(shù)比給予的藝術(shù)更難.

解答 81.especially 考查副詞與對(duì)語(yǔ)境的理解.分析語(yǔ)境可知when someone buys you a gift you don't want是對(duì)receiving a gift can be difficult情況的特別補(bǔ)充,表示特別是當(dāng)有人給你買(mǎi)了你不想要的禮物時(shí),用especially表示特別是.
82.bought 考查動(dòng)詞與時(shí)態(tài).由I thought the purse was really ugly可知此處表示我的父母給我買(mǎi)了一個(gè)紫色的錢(qián)包,由when I was about twelve years old可知時(shí)態(tài)是一般過(guò)去時(shí),填buy的過(guò)去式.
83.liked 考查動(dòng)詞與時(shí)態(tài).由because I knew it would make my parents happy可知此處表示我假裝我喜歡它,用pretended可知時(shí)態(tài)是一般過(guò)去時(shí),填like的過(guò)去式.
84.a(chǎn)grees 考查動(dòng)詞與時(shí)態(tài).由That sounds like my grandparents可知此處表示韓靈贊同,用agree表示贊同,此處僅表示她贊同這一客觀事實(shí),要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),主語(yǔ)Han Ling是第三人稱單數(shù),所以謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要填agree的三單形式.
85.them 考查代詞.分析語(yǔ)境可知空格處指的是Han Ling's grandparents,前面已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)過(guò),可用代詞來(lái)表示,此處作賓語(yǔ),所以要用they的賓格形式them來(lái)表示.
86.thoughts 考查名詞與對(duì)語(yǔ)境的理解.由but可知此處表示但我的祖父母與我有不同的想法,用thought表示想法,它是可數(shù)名詞,有different修飾要用復(fù)數(shù)形式.
87.however 考查副詞與對(duì)語(yǔ)境的理解.分析語(yǔ)境可知receiving money can make people uncomfortable與some people would rather just give money間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,有逗號(hào),可用副詞however表示然而.
88.a(chǎn)ll 考查固定搭配.not at all表示一點(diǎn)也不,根本不.此處表示我覺(jué)得他們根本沒(méi)有去思考,填all即可.
89.behind 考查介詞與對(duì)語(yǔ)境的理解.結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知此處表示我更喜歡接受它背后有著想法的禮物,用behind表示在…后.
90.even 考查副詞與對(duì)語(yǔ)境的理解.more difficult是形容詞的比較級(jí),結(jié)合首字母可聯(lián)想到填even,它修飾形容詞的比較級(jí),此處表示所以也許接受的藝術(shù)甚至比給予的藝術(shù)還難.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查對(duì)文章大意的理解和平時(shí)詞匯量的積累,此類題需要結(jié)合語(yǔ)境和首字母來(lái)聯(lián)想出正確的單詞,并注意詞形的變化.
