"What's it like to have a gap between your teeth?" a girl asked me one day.
Nobody had ever 36 before. My hand unconsciously rose to cover my mouth. But as she looked at me, sincerely waiting for 37 , I realized she was not trying to be rude. "I never think about it," I truthfully replied. She nodded and turned away. I was left wondering if
people 38 me and saw only gappy teeth.
Later that day at home, I began to 39 my teeth again. I felt upset. I thought my life would be somehow better if my teeth were not gappy. How I wanted the perfect teeth that everyone else seemed to have!
Of course, Mom 40 everything. She has lived her entire life with gappy teeth, and tried to convince me that there was nothing to 41 . When I refused to listen, she told me I could get the surgery to close the gap if it was that important. "Let's be 42 , though," she said.

Her 43 made me consider my teeth seriously. The thought of losing my gap was more terrible than the reality that people were going to notice it. I realized how important it was to me.
It's part of my 44 .
Nowadays many people do ridiculous things to realize their dream of "perfection." The 45 is that no one is perfect. When all potential for ugliness is removing, so is all of the potential

[2012湖南高考真题]
参考答案：36-47 CBDAB ACADC DB
考点与详解：
36. C. 上下文。上句a girl asked可知。
37. B. 上下文。上面指的是问我问题，所以等待的是我的回答。
38. D. 上下文句子逻辑。本句后面为saw，所以是look at的结果。
39. A. 上下文逻辑。后面为I thought，可想答案应为―思考‖有关，但认为不好，所以又排除了D，只有A符合―考虑‖。而且下文made me consider my teeth seriously有暗示。
40. B. 段落之间的关系。上一段说的是我为gappy teeth伤心，而下句为mom劝我，所以应是mom发现了我的忧虑。
41. A. 同上题。
42. C. 因果关系。从下文妈妈所说：If everyone got surgeries to become pretty, everyone would be exactly the same. There is beauty in differences.可知，妈妈反对虚假的东西。（本文指―人造美女‖）
43. A. 段落之间的关系。上句为妈妈所说的话。
44. D. 句子逻辑。上句how important it was to me可以我已不想失去我的gap了，因为这是我的―特色‖。

46. D. 与上句ugliness相对的。
47. B. 第一段已问过她，所以用again。

【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文。文章就有天赋的学生是不是应该进特殊班的问题进行了讨论，调查表明被分在特殊班的学生并没有人们想象的好效果，特殊班里的学生过分依赖老师的引导，反而对学习失去了兴趣。
1.C 考查名词辨析。根据文意可知分班的争论依据是：普通班会阻碍有天赋学生的发展。
2.C 考查现在分词的用法。这里指为普通学生设计的普通班的学习环境。
3.D考查形容词词义辨析。后文指为普通学生设计的普通班。与前面的gifted相对的是average(普通的，一般的)。故选D。
4.B 考查形容词的词义辨析及语境理解。特殊班能帮助学生早毕业，尽早的走进生活。
5.A 考查语境理解。根据上文可知：此处指有天赋的孩子们。把有天赋的孩子们从普通班分出来产生了严重问题。
6.A考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。此处intelligent意为：聪明的，有天赋的；它与gifted 同意。
7.B考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。把特殊班里的有天赋的学生放到普通班里进行调研。后文有提示：In the regular class。
8.D 考查副词的词义及语境。在特殊班里的学生没怎么表现出运用自己的判断力的能力，相反，他们过分依赖老师的引导。
9.C考查副词词义及语境理解。由having no worry about keeping up可知：在普通班有天赋的学生不必担心跟上课程的问题，所以他们就会自动的思考许多问题。此处voluntarily意为：自愿地，主动地。
10.B考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。许多人担心他们会感到厌烦从而对学习失去兴趣。
11.A考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。这种担心更多来源于老师和家长而不是学生。
12.B考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。根据上文的parents and teachers可知，一些老师有了应该为那些有天赋的学生设立特殊班的想法，因为老师比家长更了解学校的情况。
13.A 考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。根据上文应为有天赋的学生。此处talented与gifted 同意。
14.D考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。他们为什么会有这样的感觉是因为不适应学校的课程。
15.C考查形容词词义及语境理解。根据上文Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious可知此处选C。
2.（2011·上海卷）Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that fits the context.
Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining(留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, ___50__, words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often __51___ the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business ---___52___ that the customer remains a customer.
___53__ to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing __54___ , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the __55___ implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big ___56___ in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting(流失的) customers led to __57__ increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.
In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and __58__ never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in __59__ profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
The logic behind cultivating customer ___60___ is impossible to deny. ―In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to __61__ them‖, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’School of Management. ―Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. __62__ customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price __63__ , and may provide free word-of –mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it __64__ for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.
50. A. in particular B. in reality C. at least D. first of all
51. A. emphasize B. doubt C. overlook D. believe
52. A. denying B. ensuring C. arguing D. proving

Passage 2
(10·北京)
I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of
the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking, 36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.
Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs. Neidl's 43 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 44 !"I began to take 45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing--only things to be 46 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 47 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the program
as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in. It was that year that I 49 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.
Being on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 51 a strong interest and a world I hadn't known existed. She taught me not to 52 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset.
Her 54 in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 55 .
36. A. and B. yet C. so D. for
37. A. opinion B. impression C. information D. intention
38. A. make B. keep C. handle D. change
39. A. anything B. something C. everything D. nothing
40. A. questions B. comments C. explanations D. remarks
41. A. hold B. follow C. evaluate D. form
42. A. happy B. lively C. reliable D. punctual
43. A. message B. motto C. saying D. suggestion
44. A. again B. more C. instead D. later
45. A. steps B. control C. charge D. risks
46. A. improved B. acted C. looked D. reflected
47. A. easily B. carefully C. confidently D. proudly
48. A. introduced B. recognized C. identified D. considered
49. A. confirmed B. decided C. realized D. acknowledged
50. A. with B. below C. of D. by
51. A. developed B. discovered C. took D. fostered
52. A. accept B. care C. judge D. wonder
53. A. bored B. lazy C. sad D. afraid
54. A. trust B. patience C. curiosity Do interest
55. A. accessible B. enjoyable C. possible D. favorable
36.B考察连词及句子理解。前面unpleasant voice 和direct way of speaking是消极意向,后面encouraging 和inspiring是积极意向,因此需填转折连词,四个选项中A表并列,C表结果，D 表原因，只有B选项yet表转折。
37.A 考察名词及篇章理解。第二段第二句话“她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事情”直接提示了这个空应该选观点opinion这个词. 第二段倒数第四句话中也出现了这个词从而验证了其正确性。B. impression 印象、C. information 信息、D. intention 意图均不符合题意。38.C 考察动词及篇章理解。根据文章主线选择“处理”事情。考纲要求考生掌握handle 的两种意思，名词是“柄、把”，动词是“处理”，这里考察后者。A, 做、创造 B 保持D 改变均不符题意。
39.D 考察代词及句子理解。开始我不知如何回答是因为我对舞台设计“一无所知”。know nothing about sth 对某事一无所知。
40.A 考察名词及篇章理解。解题关键词是本句的‖respond 回答、响应‖, 线索是第二段第一句中的―ask 提问‖及第四句中的“answer 回答”，因此这里填―question 问题‖这个词。BD选项是评论，C是解释，不符题意。
41.D 考察动词及篇章理解。本句的them指代opinions 。form opinion形成观点。hold opinion 持有某种观点，form 是个变化的状态，hold是个持续的状态，根据文意推断作者开始并没有观点，由于她相信我有观点所以我形成了观点，强调形成这个过程，另外Begin to后接有变化感的词，故选form不选hold. B. follow 遵照,C .evaluate评估与题意差别较大。
42.C 考察形容词及句子理解。解题线索在后半句“so I began to show up to paint more and more ‖作者做的事情变多是Mrs. Neidl信任的结果，说明我是个可信赖（reliable）的人,C 选项符合题意。其他三个选项happy 高兴的lively活泼的和punctual 准时的都不能表达出这种合理的因果关系。另外迷惑性较大的lively通常用来形容物。
43. B考察名词及句子理解。引号里是一句鼓励性质的话，而且前面“that year‖也是线索，
