One such memory is still with me to this day. We were doing math problems while Mrs. Gross walked through the classroom checking on our work. I finished first and raised my head up just as Mrs. Gross walked up behind me. In fact, I was not sure whether I was right or wrong. She looked at my work and smiled. Then she said, “This is really good work, Joe. You are a very smart boy.” As she walked on, she gently touched my shoulder and I felt encouraged (鼓励) in my heart. It felt so good to be seen. It felt so good to be praised (表扬). From that moment on, I always tried my best. I always worked hard to be as smart as she thought I already was.

Stand-up comedy is becoming popular among the young in China. One person, man or woman, stands on stage and tells funny stories, or funny people or funny things that happened to them. The performers will try their best to make people laugh.
Stand-up comedy is different from other forms (形式) of acting. Unlike an actor, a stand-up performer is showing himself or herself but not creating characters. An actor usually has a script (剧本) and a team of other actors to work with. However, a good stand-up comedy often depends on performers’ own talent. It usually takes days or even weeks of hard work to make people laugh for a few minutes. That’s why stand-up comedy is seen as one of the hardest acts.
Stand-up comedy can take many forms. It can be a monologue (独白) on funny things that may form a story. It can be simply a series of jokes. It can also be performed almost anywhere-clubs, bars or parties.
Stand-up comedy has come a long way in the west, but it is a new art form in China. Today the most popular stand-up comedy show in China is Rock&Roast. The show is such a big success that it has opened a new door to the golden age of stand-up comedy. More and more young people are becoming interested in watching stand-up comedy, and some even start doing it part-time. They say it’s a great way to relax.

【点睛】技巧一
完型在"填空"的时候,切忌用中文的"搭配"去感觉,也就是所谓三大出题伎俩之一的"中文代入"。要思考英语的搭配,不要死记,要理解和搜集。
技巧二
首段首句不出题,是主旨句(2001年除外),除首句外基本每句话都要出题,首段首句没有读懂就不要做下去;
技巧三
考验完型填空里面名词、动词、形容词,这些实词的考点往往被给出明确的线索,存在于改填空的前后,对该填空进行前后联系(名词前面adj。后面从句;形容词前面adv。后面n.;动词前面主语后面宾语等等)指示,考生如果能够判断出前后的关键而又是少量的信息,可以保证题目做对
技巧四
如出现陌生的选项词汇,而我们又不认识的时候,这里注意,蒙也有技巧,一般来说选择相对简单的词汇,不要选择偏的怪的词汇。
技巧五
答案分布规律: 每篇完形填空中A、B、C、D作为正确选项的个数各在4—6个之间;A作为正确选项的个数最多;没有连续三个答案都一样的情况,连续两个答案都一样的情况为0—3个; 在五个一组的答案中,最少要出现三个字母作为正确的选项;
技巧六
在四个选项中,有两个实词互为同义词时,答案往往在其中; 在四个选项中,有两个虚词互为同义词时,答案往往都不选;当四个选项有一个共同意义时,该意义往往不能入选,要看选项的特殊含义
四、语篇填空。第一节阅读短文,从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填空,使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词,每词限用一次。

I still can’t forget my first grade teacher even years later. Her name was Mrs. Gross and she had such a sweet and kind smile. I wasn’t sure what her age was at that time, but she already looked very grandmotherly. Throughout all my years of school, I always remembered the time I spent in her class.
One such memory is still with me to this day. We were doing math problems while Mrs. Gross walked through the classroom checking on our work. I finished first and raised my head up just as Mrs. Gross walked up behind me. In fact, I was not sure whether I was right or wrong. She looked at my work and smiled. Then she said, “This is really good work, Joe. You are a very smart boy.” As she walked on, she gently touched my shoulder and I felt encouraged (鼓励) in my heart. It felt so good to be seen. It felt so good to be praised (表扬). From that moment on, I always tried my best. I always worked hard to be as smart as she thought I already was.
She woke up a strong desire in me to be the best person I could be. With her gentle love and encouragement, I started down a wonderful path that I am still on today. The good words were powerful (有力量的) and helped me to share my own good words with others. The love and kindness she showed me helped me return them to others.

Stand-up comedy is becoming popular among the young in China. One person, man or woman, stands on stage and tells funny stories, or funny people or funny things that happened to them. The performers will try their best to make people laugh.
Stand-up comedy is different from other forms (形式) of acting. Unlike an actor, a stand-up performer is showing himself or herself but not creating characters. An actor usually has a script (剧本) and a team of other actors to work with. However, a good stand-up comedy often depends on performers’ own talent. It usually takes days or even weeks of hard work to make people laugh for a few minutes. That’s why stand-up comedy is seen as one of the hardest acts.
Stand-up comedy can take many forms. It can be a monologue (独白) on funny things that may form a story. It can be simply a series of jokes. It can also be performed almost anywhere-clubs, bars or parties.
Stand-up comedy has come a long way in the west, but it is a new art form in China. Today the most popular stand-up comedy show in China is Rock&Roast. The show is such a big success that it has opened a new door to the golden age of stand-up comedy. More and more young people are becoming interested in watching stand-up comedy, and some even start doing it part-time. They say it’s a great way to relax.
