Question

【題目】 As the proverb says, “Your tongue has the power of life and death.” This means that your words have power to finally cause things to happen, even life or death.

We may all experience the power of words in our life, even when we were very young. A child is blamed ( 責(zé) 備 ) by teachers or parents, and after that, he might probably think of himself as a bad child. Most kids have that experience. They say it is important to praise children four times for each negative ( 負(fù) 面 的 ) word. Blaming will make things worse, while positive words are helpful especially when being in trouble or in need. When we fail the exam, encouraging words from our teachers or parents make us work harder at our lessons. Encouraging words can go quite a long way. They lift people up. For example, encouraging words to someone who is sad can help them make it through the day. Words can have a powerful effect on your brain. And it will in turn ( 相 應(yīng) 地 ) have a great influence on your action.

Everything you do depends on what you choose to do. It’s not your parents, your past relationships or your job, but you and only you that are responsible for every goal you set. If you have dreams in life, write them down and speak them out. Your words are likely to bring you out something amazing.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】After

【2】pass

【3】sad

【4】greatly

【5】choice/choices

【解析】

你相信嗎，語(yǔ)言是有力量的？鼓勵(lì)的話會(huì)讓一個(gè)人振作起來(lái)，繼續(xù)努力學(xué)習(xí)和工作；而責(zé)備的話會(huì)讓一個(gè)人萎靡不振，甚至失去信心。語(yǔ)言對(duì)大腦也會(huì)產(chǎn)生影響，這樣又會(huì)影響你的行動(dòng)。因此如果你有夢(mèng)想，把它寫(xiě)下來(lái)并且說(shuō)出來(lái)，你的語(yǔ)言可能會(huì)給你帶來(lái)驚喜。

【1】由原文中第二段第二句 A child is blamed(責(zé)備) by teachers or parents, and after that he might probably think of himself as a bad child.可知，這里應(yīng)用after，意為“在…之后”，注意首字母大寫(xiě)，故填After。

【2】由原文第二段中When we fail the exam, encouraging words from our teachers or parents make us work harder at our lessons.可知，不能通過(guò)考試的孩子，應(yīng)鼓勵(lì)他們，使他們更加努力地學(xué)習(xí)。fail the exam=can’t pass the exam ，是同義轉(zhuǎn)換。故這里填pass，意為“通過(guò)”。

【3】由原文 第二段For example, encouraging words to someone who is sad can help them make it through the day. 可知，鼓勵(lì)的話語(yǔ)可以讓難過(guò)的人撐過(guò)艱難的日子。因此這里應(yīng)填sad，“傷心的”。

【4】由原文第二段Words can have a powerful effect on your brain. And it will in turn(相應(yīng)地) have a great influence on your action. 可知，言語(yǔ)可以對(duì)人的行為有很大影響。原文使用了great 形容詞，題目中修飾動(dòng)詞influences，故轉(zhuǎn)換為副詞，填greatly。

【5】由原文第三段 Everything you do depends on what you choose to do. 可知，這里應(yīng)表示“你的選擇”，原文是choose 動(dòng)詞，這里應(yīng)轉(zhuǎn)換為名詞，故填choice/choices。
