答案与解析　
1．should have/were to have/had　if引导的条件句表示对将来状况的虚拟，故谓语动词用should have/were to have/had。
2．in　in particular“特殊地；尤其地”。
3．to spend　invite后用带to的动词不定式作补足语。
4．to visit　依据“主语＋be＋adj.＋to do”结构可推断该空填不定式。
5．a　泛指“一个格外秀丽的地方”用不定冠词。
6．places　依据上文可知，度假时她领我参观的地方不止一处，故可数名词place用复数形式。
7．was discovered　由时间状语in the 1770s可知句子用一般过去时，再由Hawaii是discover这一动作的承受者可知用被动语态，故填was discovered。
8．eventually　所给词在句中作状语，修饰全句，故填其副词形式eventually“最终”。
9．But　句子表示“但是现在它已经是世界有名的风景点”，故连词用but。
10．yourself　enjoy oneself“玩得快活”。
语 篇 提 能

The Gift (Harper, 320 pp., $19.99)
What it's about: Business executive Lou Suffern is an insufferable go­getter who brushes aside (不顾) his wife and kids to jockey for a promotion at work. He often wishes he could be in two places at once so he can keep up with his demanding schedule at home and work. He forms an unlikely friendship with a mysterious homeless man, Gabe, who grants him his wish. But is that what he really wants?
Holiday cheer level: This modern­day tale is a delightful read with plenty of fun twists and turns.
— Korina Lopez
The Christmas Box (Simon & Schuster, 368 pp., $19.99)
What it's about: After ruthless (无情的) realestate mogul James Kier is wrongly declared dead in a car accident, he reads the gloating comments posted online under his obit, some by colleagues. He tries to make apologies to five people he hurt but finds that saying sorry isn't enough.
Holiday cheer level. Nobody irrigates tear ducts more effectively than the author of The Christmas Box. If only real life worked this way!

Ⅴ.阅读理解七选五
As is known to all, many things can be measured in terms of data. Sometimes data can indeed tell the truth. With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match. __1__ What is more important, data seem to be fairer than words or statements. If the data are true, we don't have to worry about being cheated. Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us would rather believe data.
On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so－called specific research, aren't we a little too narrow－minded? Many people often treat the so－called specific data unwisely just to make sure that they are making the right decisions. __2__ For example, how can you tell that somebody isn't a good student just because he or she doesn't get high marks in the final examination?
__3__ For example, the degree of your feeling happy in your life, the depth of love between you and your friends, and the faith you have in your country. We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data.
There is no doubt that analyzing the exact data is important to assessment of an actual event. But data should be dealt with wisely. We often get wrong data which mislead us. __4__ Remember, data have no feeling but we humans have. Data do not mean much to people if we do not have the abilities to analyze the data with the knowledge and confidence to judge whether they are true or false. __5__
Data are data after all. Life is much more colourful than the pale data. So give the cold data a warm heart and we'll find that the world is far more wonderful than the pale data can describe.
A．We should try our best to be wise thinkers.
B. Data can make our life easier and more comfortable.
C. But sometimes we may find that data aren't everything.
D. Sometimes our hearts and mind are more sensitive than data.
E. Now and then the so－called specific data puzzle us very much.
F. The exact data should come from assessment of an actual event.
G. There are many things in our life which cannot be measured by data.

答案　1.B　2.C　3.G　4.D　5.A
