never having to say those words, because they convey regrets, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.my father is famous in our family for saying，“take the extra minute to do it right.” i always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. when my children were young and likely to cause accidents, i always thought about what i could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (襯墊) to the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.i dont only avoid those “if only”moments when it comes to safety. its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. we all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had forgone an opportunity to say “i love you” or “i forgive you” . when my father announced he was going to see the eye doctor across from my office on good friday, i told him that it was a holiday for my company and i wouldnt be here. but then i thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and i realized that i shouldnt miss an opportunity to see him. i called him and told him i had decided to go to work on my day off after all.i know there will still be occasions when i have to say“if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. and even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, i know that im doing the right thing. im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional wellbeing.【解題導(dǎo)語】“我”認(rèn)為英語中最悲傷的兩個詞是“if only”，因為它們表達(dá)了遺憾。父親在“我”小時候經(jīng)常告訴我們花費額外的時間也要把事情做好來避免遺憾，“我”聽從父親的建議并認(rèn)為這樣做是對的。1why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the english language?abecause people use them when they feel sad.bbecause they express regrets and disappointment in life.cbecause they remind the writer of some sad experiences.dbecause they mean sadness in the english language.b解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段中的“two of the saddest words in the english language are if only. because they convey regrets, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.”可知，“我”認(rèn)為英語中最令人傷心的兩個詞是“if only”，因為這兩個詞表達(dá)了后悔、錯失的機(jī)會、錯誤和失望，故選b項。2whats the meaning of the underlined word “forgone” in paragraph 3?agiven up. bcome across.cgot through. dheld back.a解析：詞義猜測題。該詞所在的句子表達(dá)的意思是：我們都認(rèn)識這樣的人，他們在失去所愛之人后會后悔錯失了說“我愛你”或“我原諒你”的機(jī)會。所以畫線詞表示“失去了”，和短語give up意思接近。故選a項。3the author decided to go to her office on good friday to _asee a doctorbfinish her workcjoin a celebrationdaccompany her fatherd解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干中的關(guān)鍵信息“decided to go to her office”對應(yīng)原文中的“i had decided to go to work”，由此定位到倒數(shù)第二段。從倒數(shù)第二段可以看出，“我”知道父親要去自己辦公室對面看眼科醫(yī)生時，本來打算按原計劃休假，但突然意識到父親已經(jīng)84歲了，所以“我”決定即便是自己的休息日，為了陪父親，也會去上班。故選d項。4what is the best title for the passage?aadvice from my fatherbavoidance of saying “if only”cthe “extra minute” ruledthe importance of emotional wellbeingb解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)首尾段的第一句話及文章大意可知，本文主要是針對避免說英語中最傷心的兩個詞“if only”進(jìn)行闡述的，所以b項“避免說if only”符合全文內(nèi)容。 語法填空i have never liked my english name. my parents didnt know that cindy was short for cynthia, or that cindy brady was the cindy of the moment. they 1._ (choose) it because it

eating”也為提示。4traditional解析：考查形容詞。然而關(guān)于名字的風(fēng)俗是非常傳統(tǒng)的。此處應(yīng)用形容詞作表語。5ones解析：考查代詞。根據(jù)下文中的“a coupling of two words out of thousands of possibilities expressing the familys hopes for the child”的提示可知，此處為泛指，且與下文中的“two words”相呼應(yīng)，所以此處用代詞 one的復(fù)數(shù)形式表示泛指。6were expecting解析：考查時態(tài)。那是在三月份的時候，作者的哥哥和他的妻子一直期待著他們第二個兒子的出生。此處敘述的是發(fā)生在過去的事情，應(yīng)用過去時態(tài)，且表示過去某一階段持續(xù)的動作，故用過去進(jìn)行時。7in解析：考查介詞。表示用某種語言用介詞in。8which解析：考查定語從句。此處用which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，且在從句中作主語，修飾先行詞“the wordshi，or world”。9sixth解析：考查序數(shù)詞。此處表示第六個字。故應(yīng)用序數(shù)詞，表示“第六個”。10sons解析：考查名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)。此處指給祖祖輩輩的子孫起名。根據(jù)語境可知，此處應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)。 短文改錯three weeks ago i bought the electronic
