看第二篇閱讀，這是一個故事，這篇閱讀里面的標(biāo)題叫做Grandparents Answer a Call，講的就是奶奶爺爺們接電話。更多的爺爺奶奶開始跟兒子們或者孫子們搬在一起生活的事。第一題叫做為什么移動是一個成功。我們先定位，定位到文章，第一次出現(xiàn)的地方是這里Garza，這里還出現(xiàn)了Garza，但是我知道第二段這個地方的Garza已經(jīng)錯了，因為他說like Garza，像他一樣的。我們看第一段，最近三代人都把這個看成很成功的事，給他們一個更近的關(guān)系，這個地方是朋友聚會的情態(tài)動詞的考察，給他們一個更靠近，更親密的關(guān)系。祖父和祖母之前跟小孩們，他們是生活在較遠的地方，但是現(xiàn)在老奶奶到了這個地方去幫助她的小孩們一起生活。所以說這個題選A是很簡單的。也會出現(xiàn)一個問題，叫strengthened，就是把東西加強的意思，ties是聯(lián)系，加強了家庭之間的聯(lián)系，選A。
咱們來看27題，說這個人是怎么說的，直接定位在這里，1960。IN the 1960年代，我們都是有點狂野的，不能離家足夠的遠，去證明我們能夠靠自己生活。在六十年代的時候我們都是一些內(nèi)心心懷狂野的，美國經(jīng)濟大蕭條過后的那批小孩，他們心里面很迫切的想要離開家越來越遠，并且能夠過快的離開家，證明他們能自食其力。這個地方要看我們現(xiàn)在認(rèn)識到了家庭的重要性，說明在當(dāng)時其實大家是想遠離家的，走得越遠越。所以這個題咱們基本上也能選到正確答案，他們希望遠離他們的父母。
28題，這個題很多人會做錯。我也給我好幾個班上的同學(xué)看了，他們這個題選的很怪，最后一段要求祖父母，他們需要去干什么，這個選項有，更多的認(rèn)識自己，你們都選了同一個錯誤答案了。那更多的去認(rèn)識自己錯的，選C的也有，為他們的小孩進行一些犧牲。我們來看看28題的最后一段說什么，他說moving is not for everyone…。讓你的孫子輩們在遙遠的地方，尤其是知道你的這些成年的小孩正在掙扎，但是放棄你已有的生活會變得更痛苦。我們在這個地方不是去糾結(jié)到底是哪一個問題，咱們這段討論的問題是什么？并不是每一個老人都合適搬到去跟他的小孩們住，有些時候你可能愿意做一些犧牲，但是有些時候可能你們?nèi)ピL問，不在一起住也是更好的，讓你的小孩們在遙遠的地方看著他們掙扎著生活很困難的，但是放棄你現(xiàn)有的生活也會變得更困難，我們現(xiàn)在糾結(jié)的問題在于對，就是這個A選項。而這個同學(xué)已經(jīng)了還的像一個托一樣。后面給了大家，給了讀者一個開放性的話題，說你搬過去住不容易，但是你在遠方看著你的小孩們掙扎也很難，但是意味著你要放棄現(xiàn)有的生活，也是很困難的一件事情。所以說這是一個兩難的東西，你需要自己去抉擇，這個才是最后一段的意思，所以我們會涉及到A選項，有感興趣的意思，這個地方的本意叫做利益。你要考慮到最有利的那一方，兩邊都很難，你要衡量一下取最有利的地方，應(yīng)該選A。28題出現(xiàn)了一個開放性的段落，給了你一個開放性的說法，讓你去選擇一個答案的時候有兩個疑惑。最后一段這兩個地方，看著自己的小孩掙扎是十分痛苦的，但是放棄自己的生活也是很困難的，這是一個選擇的問題，不是去了解你自己的問題。一個選擇的問題，你到底是愿意放棄你現(xiàn)有的生活去幫助你小孩，還是愿意看著你小孩受苦，但是現(xiàn)在過著比較舒適的生活，所以說并不是只有了解你自己，而是去考慮兩害相加取其輕者。這就是現(xiàn)在覺得全國卷相對來說，考察的東西我覺得真的是一種應(yīng)試的東西在減少，更多的是給大家思考。

C
I am peter Hodes， a volunteer stem courier。 Since March ， I‘ve done 89 trips of those ， 51 have been abroad， I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干細胞）in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that‘s how long they last， in all， from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor（捐獻者） to the time they can be implanted in the patient， we’ve got 72 hours at most， So I am always conscious of time。
I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America。 I picked up the stem cells in Providence， Rhode Island， and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London。 But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence， the lady on the desk said：” Well， I’m really sorry， I’ve got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington�！� So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said： ” In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please， please， you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom�！� She just dropped everything。 She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me， re-routed（改道）me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled。
For this courier job， you’re consciously aware than that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life。

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups。 Silences may be thoughtful， or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say。 A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness， or worry。 Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable； therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap（間隙）with conversation。 Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person‘s needs。
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people， just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do。 Therefore， when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops， what maybe implied（暗示） is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing。 In these cultures， silence is a call for reflection。
Other cultures may use silence in other ways， particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power。 For example， Russian， French， and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion。 However， Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her。 In still another use， persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect， particularly to an elder or a person in authority。
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing。 Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily。 A nurse who understands the healing（治愈） value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures。
32。 What does the author say about silence in conversations？
A。 It implies anger。
B。 It promotes friendship。
C。 It is culture-specific。
D。 It is content-based。
33。 Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought？
A。 The Chinese。
B。 The French。
C。 The Mexicans。
D。 The Russians。
34。 What does the author advice nurses to do about silence？
順便把這個答案也給說了，Make use of its healing effects。幫助更好的解決患者的問題，有的患者說了話你要好好想。這篇文章的最佳標(biāo)題是什么，這就是說明文的標(biāo)文寫法，第一段總起，沉默的意義有很多，下面一些人認(rèn)為沉默是什么，另一些人認(rèn)為沉默是什么，護士需要注意什么。這個不說了。

Secret codes （密碼）keep messages private。Banks， companies， and government agencies use secret codes in doing business， especially when information is sent by computer。
People have used secret codes for thousands of years。 36 Code breaking never lags（落后） far behind code making。 The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography。
There are three main types of cryptography。 37 For example， the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me�！�
38 You might represent each letter with a number， for example； let’s number the letters of the alphabet， in order， from 1 to 26。 If we substitute a number for each letter， the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5�！�
A code uses symbols to replace words， phrases， or sentences。 To read the message of a real code， you must have a code book。 39 For example，”bridge“might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me�！� The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me�！� 40 However， it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long。 So codes must be changed frequently。
A。 It is very hard to break a code without the code book。 B。 In any language， some letters are used more than others。 C。 Only people who know the keyword can read the message。 D。 As long as there have been codes， people have tried to break them。 E。 You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out。 F.With a code book， you might write down words that would stand for other words。 G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet。
Larry works with Transport Drivers。 Inc。 One morning in 2019。 Larry was __41__along 165 north after delivering to one of his 42 。 Suddenly， he saw a car with its bright lights on。 43 he got closer， he found 44 vehicle upside down on the road。 One more look and he noticed 45 shooting out from under the 46 vehicle。 Larry pulled over， set the brake and 47 the fire extinguisher （滅火器）。 Two good bursts from the extinguisher and the fire was put out。
The man who had his bright lights on 48 and told Larry he had 49 an emergency call。 They 50 heard a woman’s voice coming from the wrecked （毀壞的） vehicle。 51 the vehicle， they saw that a woman was trying to get out of the broken window。 They told her to stay 52 until the emergency personnel arrived， 53 she thought the car was going to 54 。 Larry told her that he had already put out the fire and she should not move 55 she injured her neck。
Once fire and emergency people arrive， Larry and the other man 56 and let them go to work。 Then， Larry asked the 57 if he was needed or 58 to go。 They let him and the other man go。

當(dāng)這個火被撲滅的時候，讓專業(yè)的人員去救火。后面有一個題非常難，破的人很多，police，他是否被需要怎么樣呢？這個問題就在于大家并沒有把情感色彩給代入到完形填空當(dāng)中，我閱讀的時間多一些，并沒有把具體的感情代入到當(dāng)中。就像剛剛說那個車到底是怎么回事，你想現(xiàn)在你走在路上有一個人受傷了，你把他扶起來了，這個時候警察來了，你是不是特別擔(dān)心警察問這是不是你干的。那這個時候你如果有事，你要走，你要問警察能不能走了，你不會問警察，你們會不會讓我走，這個是作賊心虛才會問的，你們讓我走嗎，還是要求我留下，就感覺他跟這個事故有一定的關(guān)聯(lián)，并沒有。你站在人的角度，他做了好事，這時候警察來接手了，好人不留名，我就問警察，警察叔叔還有沒有我什么幫忙的，沒什么我就走了。所以說free to go，這是情感的一個代入。所以說這個題可以著重講一下。59題和60題就送分了，一定是通過他的努力拯救了這個婦女的生命。
