【语篇解读】我的狗Beans领着我沿着一条不熟悉的小路散步而迷路了，结果好不容易才回到家。但从冒险经历来看，我断定Beans可能一直知道回家的路，他只是喜欢探险新的路径罢了。

37. 答案：C
解析：根据全文最后一句 “He was just having too much fan exploring new trails.”可判断选C

语篇解读：本文记述了作者一次因开会去拉斯维加斯时，飞机因沙尘暴而延时降落，在不断延长的等待中，成人焦急、害怕，唯独不知恐惧的婴儿在享受着过山车一样的颠簸。作者也深受启发，体验了一次孩子的享受。
21. 答案：B
解析：根据 “High desert winds…to close all but one runway”可知因沙尘暴关闭所有的跑道，只留一条，故应为延时降落。
22. 答案：A
解析：因为沙尘暴迫使机场关闭跑道。 B为“警告”；C意为“打扫，席卷”；D意为“提醒”，均不符合题意
23. 答案：C
解析：飞机在等待降落的过程中应该是绕城市盘旋。故应选C。 A. watch用于着动态的场面； B. visit意为“参观，拜访”； D. cross意为“横穿”
24. 答案：D
解析：根据上下文句意可知，飞机要绕城市盘旋几分钟以便等待着陆
25. 答案：C
解析：句意为；“我们被告知仍在座位上坐好，系好安全带，因为飞机可能有颠簸。”此处应为because引导的原因状语从句
26. 答案：B
解析：make…pale by comparison “使……相形见绌”，此处用以强调飞机在空中极不稳定
27. 答案：A
解析：句意为：“象过山车一样的巨烈运动使旅客恶心而不得不用呕吐袋。A. sick 意为“恶心的”；B. nervous意为“紧张的”； C. angry 意为“生气的”；D. afraid意为“害怕的”。
28．答案Bw_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m

30. 答案：A
解析：根据后面的 a sense of anxiety and fear可知，人们都很紧张、焦虑，在这种情形下飞机上的人一定是静悄悄的。
31. 答案：D
解析：飞机上的焦躁不安，应该是能够很明显的被感觉到，故选clearly
32. 答案：B
解析：从后文中的 “he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried…Those are what we grown—ups have learned …”他不知道害怕和着急……，那是我们成年人……，可推测出应该是孩子
33. 答案：D
解析：应是飞机的每一次颠簸让孩子体验坐过山车一样的感受，孩子发出咯咯的笑声
34. 答案：A
解析：句意为我意识到孩子不知道他应该害怕和担心
35. 答案：B
解析：应是为他的安全担心
36. 答案：C
解析：成人都是从孩子时代过来的。是成人的亲身经历让他们知道孩子不知道什么是害怕和担心
37. 答案：D

38. 答案：A

39. 答案：C
解析：句意应为：“我坐回到我的座位上，假装真地坐上了过山车。”A项意为“几乎”；B项意为“最后”，D项意为“突然”，均不合题意。

The gentleman said no and told me that he 42 to go to the nursing home on eat breakfast with his 43 .He told me that she had been 44 for a while and that she had a special disease, I asked if she would be 45 if he was a bit late. He replied that she 46 knew who he was ,that she had not been able to 47 him for five years now. I was 48 and asked him,” And you 49 go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?”
He smiled and said .”She doesn’t know me, but I know who she is” I had to hold back 50 as he left.
Now I 51 that in marriages, true love is 52 of all that, The happiest people don’t 53 have the best of everything; they just 54 the best of everything they have .55 isn’t about how to live through the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

36-40 CDBCD
41-45 AABDB
46-50 CACDB
51-55 ACABD
36. C seat
解析：关键名词就在后面waiting room。这个词break有可能选，但是break之前一定要很紧张才行，这里老汉没有紧张。
37. D telling
解析：护士对一个老汉能做的动作，最符合逻辑的是telling，告诉。 promising 表示许诺，有可能选，再看宾语就可以排除，at least 40 minutes 没有一个承诺是这样子的，我保证你至少要等四十分钟，不是承诺这是诅咒。
38. B before
解析：在医生诊断他之前要等待。
39. C look at
解析：看动作的发出者，一个焦急的老汉会做的动作，肯定是look at 看手表这个选项。
40. D not
41. A turn up
解析：词组，表示“出现”的意思。这里要注意破折号表示解释说明，我不是很忙，因为我的病人在appointed hour 里面没有出现。appoint 这个词除了任命的意思，还有约时间的意思。B. show off 是“炫耀”的意思。
42. A needed
解析：考察动词搭配，用排除法。B forget是“忘记”，他忘记了回去吃饭这样的事情，不算一个appointment。C agree to do是“同意做某件事情”，在文中没人提要求，所以不存在同意不同意。D happen to do“碰巧做某事”。
43. B wife
解析：名词找重复，这里重复再后面，刚做的时候放一放，第五段的第一句出现了marriage,表示他们俩曾经有一段，那么选老婆这个选项。
44. D there
解析：she had been there 表示的是她已经在那个nursing home 里面有一段时间了，有难度，其他几个选项的中文意思比较模棱两可， A. late 要迟到的是老头子，不是他老婆。 B. well 她老婆身体很健康。 C.老婆曾经在他身边。
45. B worried
解析：根据词义辨析。lonely“孤独的”，worried 是“焦虑的，担心的”的意思，doubtful“怀疑的”，hungry“饥饿的”。
46. C no longer
解析：结合后文，49空那句话给出了很好的对应。neither 表示否定2者。
47. A recognize
解析：之前见过，现在认不出来。
48. C surprised
解析：表示惊讶。选项moved干扰度比较大，需要对全文的态度进行把握，文中进行到这里并没有很明显的作者的正面态度出现，证据就在于他的那个问句：你知道她不认识你，还是每天早上要去陪她？这句话显然不是一个正面态度的体现，而真正的态度转正的地方在倒数第二段，他忍住泪水，所以这里不能选moved这个表示正面态度的词语。
49. D still
解析：表示状态的持续，B. then 表示时间先后，C. thus 表示因果。
50. B tear
解析：关键在前面的动词hold back忍住，忍回去。忍回去的只有泪水。
51. A realize
解析：realize表示主观意识到。
52. C acceptance
解析：真爱就是对于所有一切的接受。本题点明了文章的主旨，老人不管妻子患病与否都始终不离不弃，所以是接受了一切，无论好坏。
53. A necessarily
解析：这个词的意思是必要地，这句话的意思是最幸福的人并不一定是一个拥有所有最好东西的人。
54. B make
解析：考查动词和名词的搭配， make the best of充分利用，就是说他们可以没有最好的东西，但是他们充分利用了他们所拥有的东西。C选项favor 不能选，因为表示的意思是偏好，在这里没有比较爱人认得你还是不认得你，所以不选。
55. D Life
解析：生活并不是要经历暴风雨，而是要学会苦中作乐。

busker(街头艺人)，with a hat in front of him. I had some 28 in my pocket, but I would not give them to him, thinking to myself he would 29 use the money to feed his addiction to drugs or alcohol.

I then 32 I had no right to place myself above 33 just because he was busking.
I 34 and dropped all the coins into his 35, and he smiled at me, I watched for a while. As 36 as it sounds, I expected something more to come from that moment—a feeling of 37 or satisfaction, for example. But nothing happened 38 , I walked off. “It proved to be a waste of 39 ,”I thought.
On my way home at the end of the 40, I saw the busker again and he was 41 . I watched him pick up the hat and walk 42 a cafe counter. There he poured the 43 contents into a tin collecting 44 an earthquake fund-raising(募捐) event. He was busking for charity(慈善)！

The passengers on the bus watched with sympathy as Susan made her way carefully up the steps. She paid the driver and then, using her hands to 31 the seats, settled in one of them.

今年的完形填空的文章原型来源于一片叫作“The Blind Bus Passenger”的文章。讲的是一个盲人乘客的故事。20道题的设置基本考察了学生对于文章的理解能力，和根据上下文理解单句的能力。期间也涉及到一些基本语法问题，比如从句，被动语态，固定搭配以及动词短语的选择。
比如31题，考生要知道盲人是看不见的，所有的动作都是靠摸索的，其实这是常识问题，据此可知应该选择“feel”(摸索，感知),而不应该是“有目的”地去“touch”（触碰）；
32 盲人陷入到黑暗的世界，这种表达在中文里面我们也使用，所以明显应该是“a world of darkness”；
33 单纯考察词汇，sink into hopeless , 描述人陷入到绝望之中，“sink”表示下沉，和人陷入绝望的状态是符 合的。[Ks5u.com]
34 be determined to do sth. 这是新概念二册中的重点句型，下决心做某事，当然你也可以用 make up one’s mind to do sth.
35 人残志不残，她想回到工作之中去，作返回来讲return 是一个不及物动词，因为选D。
36. 考察形容词。Frightened表示恐惧
37. volunteer表示志愿去帮助Susan，现在很流行志愿者，所以大家不会对这个词感到陌生。
38. Until在这里是连词，引导时间状语从句。状语从句是重点语法，大家要注意学习了
39. accompany表示“陪伴”，既然Mark是来帮助Susan的，显然就来陪伴她的
40. 盲人失去的是 “sight”实力，其它的sense（感觉）还是存在的
41. 简单的词汇辨析题，盲人需要适应的是新的environment（环境），而不是新的position（ 位置）等到
42. on one’s own表示“靠某人自己”本文一直都是在表扬这位盲人的毅力和坚持，希望能够靠自己来维持自己的正常生活。
43. 试想，拥抱自己的丈夫，而且是在分别的时候，感慨万千的时候，应该有的动作当然是 “tightly”（紧紧的），而不是其它的类似于politely（礼貌的）
44. 在接受了别人的帮助后，Susan终于要独自一人登上旅程了。他们各自走各自的路， “separate”表示“分别的”，其实她的背后有很多默默支持她的人，显然不是 “lonely”（孤独的）这样的词
45. take hold of（吸引）； take place of（代替）；take charge of（掌管）；take advantage of（利用）
46. as usual（像往常一样），表示经常发生的动作再次发生
47. envy（嫉妒，羡慕）仔细阅读下面的文章，不难发现，司机是准备告诉Susan一个秘密。也就是要告诉她有很多人在默默地支持和关怀她。所以，根据上下文的理解，可以知道此刻司机是要表达一种羡慕嫉妒之情，也是对Susan的一种宽慰
48. 几个疑问词的选择，不难。
49. 在过于的几个星期中，英文应该是 “for the past week” “next”表示的是下周，还没发生的事情是不可能用完成时的，而且 “for”+一段时间，是现在完成时的时间状语标志
50. sight表示“视力”。文中指的是，Susan虽然失去了视力，但是获得了更多宝贵的东西。

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was __36___to see that it was an English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary._37___it was a dictionary intended for non—native learners, none of my classmates had one __38__, to be honest, I found it extremely __39_ to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and _40__ not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the __41__ bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are _42__ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt __43_ to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I _44__ that monolingual dictionaries are __45_ in learning a foreign language
As I found out, there is __46_ often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two _47___ in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to 48___ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the __49___ meaning of a word in English! ___50_ , she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a world in a monolingual dictionary __51___ I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. ____52__, I have come to see what she meant.
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 53 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 54 exposed to（接触）the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 55 this, I can express myself more easily in English.
36.A．worried B ．sad C ．surprised D ．nervous
这是一篇记叙文，作者主要描写自己从最初接触英英词典的惊异，到习惯使用英英词典以及使用英语词典的好处。
36.C 。 通读全文可知，作者是一个中国大学生，中国人学英语，尤其是初学者习惯使用英汉词典。当作者看到英英词典的时候，他感到“吃惊”。
37.A．Because B ．Although C ．Unless D ．If
37.B. 前后两句在意义上是让步关系，所以用although引导让步状语从句。而A项because引导原因状语从句；Unless和if’引导条件状语从句。
38.A．but B ．so C ．or D ．and
38.A. 此空格处是一个并列连词，连接前后两句。而前后两句之间存在的是转折关系，所以用but。
39.A．difficult B ．interesting C ．ambiguous D ．practical
39. A. 最初用英英词典，不习惯，所以作者感觉用起来“很难difficult”。interesting是“有趣味的意思”，根据下文not fully understand the meaning不可能是这个答案；ambiguous是“不明确的”；practical是“实用的”，这两个词也不符合语境。
40.A．thus B ．even C ．still D ．again
40.C. 句子中有否定词not，有副词fully，所以用still，表示“仍然不能够完全”的意思。
41.A．new B ．familiar C ．earlier D ．ordinary
41.B. be used to 表示“习惯……，对作者来说习惯了双语词典，或者说是英汉词典。这里指双语词典的使用对他来说是熟悉。
42.A．explained B ．expressed C ．described D ．created
42.A. 此句是一个in which引导的定语从句，其中words是主语，根据常识在词典中单词的意思是被“解释出来”的，所以用explained.
43.A．offered B ．agreed C ．decided D ．happened
43.C. 我真想知道我姑妈为什么决定这么为难我。其他三个词虽然都跟动词不定式，但是在这里意思都不恰当。
44.A．imagine B ．recommend C ．predict D ．understand
44.D. 过去不理解，经过一段时间后，“明白了understand”；imagine是“想象”的意思；recommend是“推荐”的意思；predict是“预测”的意思。
45.A．natural B ．better C ．easier D ．convenient
45.B. 此句中monolingual dictionaries和bilingual dictionaries比较，A和D项没用比较级，better强调更好，更实用，而easier则不可能。
46 A．at best B ．in fact C ．at times D ．in case
46.B. 常见的情况是实际上两种语言之间的两个词没有完全的对应。in fact表示“实际上，事实上”。at best是“至多；充其量”；at times是“有时”；in case是“万一，以防”，显然A、C、D项不合语境。
47.A．words B ．names C ．ideas D ．characters
47.A. 词典上重点的内容应该是单词。
48.A．hope B ．declare C ．doubt D ．tell
48.B. 我姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语单词的确切意思。
49.A．exact B ．basic C ．translated D ．expected
49.A. 前面的a Chinese equivalent和the meaning of a word in English对应，所表明还是对应不准确的问题，所以用exact。
50.A．Rather B ．However C ．Therefore D ．Instead
50. C. 此空后面的句子和前面表示的是一种“因果”关系，所以用therefore。
51.A．when B ．before C ．until D ．while
51. A. 表示“当……时候”，用when引导时间状语从句。而before通常指“在……之前”；until指“直到……时候”；while指“在……的同时”。
52.A．Largely B ．Generally C ．Gradually D ．Probably
52. C. 该句的谓语have come to see是表示“变化过程”，所以用gradually表示“渐渐地”。
53.A．extra B ．average C ．total D ．limited
53. D. 从后面的around 2,000可知词典中用于解释词义的词是限制在2，000左右。
54.A．repeatedly B ．nearly C ．immediately D ．anxiously
54. A. 在有限的范围内，查阅阅读释义的话，就会反复接触基本词汇、学会这些词汇怎样用来解释事物和观点，所以用repeatedly表示“反复地，经常地”，
55.A．According to B ．In relation to C ．In addition to D ．Because of

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. www.ks5u.com/gaokao/beijing
B eing 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 . www.ks5u.com/gaokao/beijing

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，说明这话是她的motto座右铭。迷惑性较大的C选项saying是谚语的意思，往往是人们长期形成的对生活及经验的总结，强调群体性及时间性，故不合适，message 信息，suggestion 建议，不合题意。
44.D 考察副词及篇章理解。本题难度较大，解题关键词是介词“over”，表覆盖。选择later 可以理解为“如果没有画好，稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上。” more更多， Instead 代替， 不合题意。迷惑性最大的是again.表示“再一次、又一次”但是放在这里与over意思重复，paint over it later相当于 paint it again, 故不选A。
45.D 考察名词及篇章理解。take risks 固定搭配，冒险。通读全文发现作者是开始很不自信，第四段开头也提示了作者“shy” ,“quiet”,因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险，是自我突破的过程，文章最后一段也提到了take chances冒险，因此选D。take steps是采取措施、步骤的意思，与文章主题不搭，control 和 charge 都有控制的意思，不合题意。
46.A 考察动词及句子理解。Improve upon 改进。线索是本段开头的座右铭“试试吧，我们永远可以重画一次。”因此不存在失败，只存在改进。Act upon按照、对…起作用，look upon 看待、考虑，reflect upon  考虑、回顾，均不符题意。
47.C 考察副词及篇章理解。本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程，根据前文提示作者曾很不自信，后来在Mrs. Neidl的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔，因此选confidently. A easily 容易的。作者超越自我的过程并不容易。B carefully 小心地。创作并不是个小心翼翼的过程。D Proudly 骄傲地。文章中没有任何体现。
48.B 考察动词。Be recognized as“被公认为、被承认”。 Introduce 介绍、引入，be identified as“ 被确定是”，有验证身份的意思，be considered as “被认为、被当作”。其中 be recognize as 有“被大家承认、被普遍接受”的意思，表意更准确。
49.C 考察动词。解题关键词是“want ”。作者意识到自己想要的是什么，所以用realized. 迷惑项是decided 决定。可以说决定要什么，但不可以说决定想什么，因为想法是不可控制的。Confirm 证实 acknowledge 承认，与题意差别较大。
50.A 考察介词。Being with sb 与某人在一起。这里不能选of是因为全文第一句话，Mrs. Neidl是“ one of the directors”，所以不能说是她的团队。Below 和 by 搭配错误。
51.B 考察动词。发现了一项爱好和一个未知的世界，选discovered. 迷惑项是developed , 这个词可以与interest 连用表示形成了某种爱好，但是不可以与world连用表示“形成一个未知世界，”故排除。Take interest 取利，foster 培养，均不合适。
52.B 考察动词及篇章理解。“她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做”，care 在乎，符合文意。Accept 接受，judge 判断 ，wonder 怀疑 均不合文意。
53.D 考察形容词及句意理解。Be afraid害怕。前面说Take chance 冒险，后面理所当然说不要怕（失败），而且前文反复出现了afraid 这个词，是全篇的关键词。Bored 无聊的，lazy 懒惰的，sad 伤心的，在文中均无体现。
54.A 考察名词及篇章理解。Trust 信任。通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs. Neidl对作者的信任，并在第三段明确使用了trust这个词，因此推断出答案。Patience 耐心，curiosity好奇心，interest兴趣，文中均无体现。
55.C考察形容词及篇章理解。“她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不可能的事情”， “never imagined possible” 等于 “imagined impossible.” 认为不可能的，贴合文意。Accessible 容易取得的 enjoyable 有趣的 favorable 有利的赞同的 均不合文意。

(2010﹒浙江)
I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be _21_ Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 22 ?” Just when I started to 23 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 24 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 25 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t 26 . Somebody had thought 27 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 28 Christmas there special and memorable, I 29 remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 30 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 31 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 32 with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were 33 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 34 them that they couldn’t open their presents 35 every child had come forward. Finally the 36 they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 37 up the room. The 38 in the room was obvious, and 39 wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew 40 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

第四部分：完形填空
完形填空还是秉承一贯的风格，记叙文体。本文选自一个短篇故事‘ A Village on the Road'(沿途上的村庄）中的前5段。和2008年陕西高考完形风格类似，不断出现角色呼应等结构。咱们日新学员只需用课堂上讲过的技巧，抓住首段中主调色彩，必备角色的心理活动到具体行为的合理过度，再加上联系选项中词语辨析，感情色彩辨析，词语搭配修饰，应对今年的完形填空应该比较轻松。具体分析如下：
26题选problems,与首句中的poverty行成合理替换。
27题根据从句语境，以及第42空后面的 travelling结构在现，应该选travelling.
28题根据文章主调色彩选poor.
29题典型因果关系，选so
30题代词指代加动词短语share sth out，选they指代前面的gold and jewels.
31题根据平行结构，就可知poverty是worrying situation.
32题复现原则加呼应结构选 the villagers.
33题根据他的行为可以判断选情态动词could表能够。
34题根据他给这些村民食物和饮品就可判断出他能够明白钱对这些村民几乎无用。
35.题词汇辨析，村民收到东西，选 received.
36题词汇辨析，last维持，够用。稍有难度。
37题短语辨析加动作顺序选speeded up.
38题具体环境选village.
39题貌似纯粹考语法了，选how.
40题语境，色彩对比，第三个富人缺乏同情心（lacked sympathy), 他们两个人提供帮助了肯定好（good).
41题其他选项风马牛不相及，正常一点，选 met。
42 题副词辨析选still.
43题根据此句后半句were now full of farming tools and bags,应该选instead of.
44题词汇辨析加主语判断，这里的 they指富人们，所以只能选carrying.
45题 and并列原则，根据farming tools(农具），选seeds(种子）最合适。

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 36 otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “53” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 54 raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
36. A. as B. until C. unless D. though
37. A. hoped B. agreed C. meant D. chose
38. A. continued B. changed C. settled D. started

The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, 36 a bar of chocolate if given the choice, 37 , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the 38 he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
39 as high as he could , but even as his tallest 40 he was unable to touch It. He began to 41 up and down , as high as he could, at the 42 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple . Still it remained out of 43 .
Not giving up , he though , if only he had something to 44 on . His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to 45 the things inside , like his lunch box , pencil case , and Gameboy . Looking 46 , he hoped he might find an old box , a rock , or , 47 luck , even a ladder , but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use .
He had tired everything he could think to do . 48 seeing any other choices , he gave up and started to walk 49 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his 50 , and how he really wanted that apple . The more he 51 like this , the more unhappy he became.
52 ,the boy of our story was a preetty smart guy,even if he cloudn’t always get what get he wanted .He started to say to himself .,This isn’t 53 ,I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well.There’s 54 more Ican do to get the apple_that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to 55 our feelings.

36. A 根据前面的句子可知，男孩并不是很喜欢吃水果，因此如果要他选择的话，他更喜欢吃一块巧克力。
37. C 根据下面的句子“禁果诱人”可判断，上下文之间是转折关系，所以选择but。
38. C 根据下文第50个空所在的句子中出现的hungry一词可判断，此处选择hungrier，表示“他越看那只苹果就越觉得肚子饿”。
39. B 为了够到那只苹果，小男孩踮起脚尖，尽可能把身体伸展到最高的程度。expand扩大，扩充，扩展；stretch伸展，舒展；swing摆动，摇动；pull拉，扯，拔。
40. D 根据语境可知，小男孩是站着伸手去够苹果，因此此处指的是身体的高度，不是力量、长度或范围。
41. A 根据生活常识可判断，既然小男孩站着够不到苹果，他只能开始上下跳跃。
42. C 每次跳到最高的时候，小男孩就伸长了胳膊去够苹果。at the top of在……顶部或顶端。
43. D 根据下文可知，小男孩最终没有摘到苹果。out of reach是固定短语，意为“手够不着, 达不到”。
44. B 根据下文内容可知，小男孩没有放弃，他想如果自己踩在某些东西上面就能够到苹果了。
45. A 小男孩身上背着书包，可他不想弄坏里面装的东西。break在此处表示“弄坏，折断”。
46. D 根据上下文内容可知，为了找到能踩在脚下的东西，小男孩四处环顾。look around四处环顾。
47. B 小男孩希望自己能够找到一个旧箱子，一块大石头，或者，如果顺利的话，能找到一架梯子。for luck为了吉利，为了祈求好运；with luck如果一切顺利的话；其他两个介词不能与luck搭配。
48. C 小男孩尝试了所有的方法，在眼看没有任何其他选择的情况下，小男孩只好放弃了。
49. B 没有办法摘到苹果，小男孩只好失望地走开。walk away走开。
50. C 根据上文可知，小男孩做了很多努力，因此耗尽了力气，觉得又累又饿。
51. A 此处表示他越是这样想，就越觉得不开心。
52. B 根据上下文内容可知，此处存在的是转折关系，所以选择however“然而，可是”。
53. D 根据下文内容可知，小男孩开始理智地看待自己遇到的问题，觉得生气、失望、难过等都没有帮助，不能从根本上解决问题。
54. D 结合上文内容可知，小男孩清醒地认识到自己已经没有其他法子可用了，苹果也不会得到了。
55. A 小男孩的反省也是文章主题的升华：面对无法解决的问题，我们可以做到的就是改变自己的情感态度。

依然是往年惯例--记叙文。文章通过作者记叙自己在社区图书馆的经历，来劝告人们通过尝试与陌生人交流来增进彼此之间的关系，符合了当下"和谐社会"的大环境。
　　36.答案C: change. 考察动词。根据文意，作者在思考了社区内人与人之间距离逐渐疏远这一现象后，决定改变之前的行为。值得注意的是，后文即对作者的行为进行描述，会发现第三段的最后一词即为change，符合前后对应原则，难度等级：中；
　　37.答案D: opportunity. 考察名词。一天早上，当我在社区图书馆的时候，我的…出现了。可以通过理解得出答案，但也简单按照完形名词解题法寻找重复，第四段第三个词即为答案，难度等级：易；
　　38.答案B: dropped. 考察动词。对应后文pick up，可知小女孩之前是将书掉落，选dropped，难度等级：易；
　　39.答案C: go back. 考察短语。根据文意，作者后来发现没人帮助小女孩，说明作者必定重新返回原来的地方，难度等级：易；
　　40.答案C: help. 考察动词。前文someone else和后文的no one对应，所以动作也应该对应，所以选help，难度等级：易；
　　41.答案A: sitting. 考察动词。后文so是解题点，说明作者的动作也男人的动作一致，故选sitting，难度等级：易；
　　42.答案D: conversion. 考察名词。名词寻找重复后发现，第44题后面一个词chat即为本题答案，因此选chat的同义词conversion，难度等级：易；
　　43.答案B: response. 考察名词。文章说我的新朋友的每个…中都显示出怀疑的语气。首先joke，cry，和story文中均未提及，直接排除，选response。另外，此题也对应上义词必选技巧，难度等级：中；
　　44.答案B: unprepared. 考察形容词。文章说，人们对于一个陌生人并不习惯于进行…的交谈。此句是由前文作者对于陌生人的反应而总结出来的。前文作者对陌生人的交谈很不顺利，如何开始如何结束都显得十分困难，因此本题应选择与困难相近的词。纵观备选项，unprepared,未准备好的，即兴的较符合文意。此题考察文章归纳总结能力，难度等级：难；
　　45.答案A: Desperately. 考察副词。文章说，无论和陌生交谈方式改变的需要无论是…，它都不会发生。此题单纯从文意理解比较困难，建议用排除法。frequently, simply, widely这三个选项均不是文章讨论的内容，可以排除，剩下答案desperately:十分，非常地，修饰这种需要的迫切程度。考生无法直接选出此题的原因在于不知道此单词的这种用法。难度等级：难；
　　46.答案D: advise. 考察动词。最后一段作者针对与陌生人疏远这种情况，建议人们努力改善，答案容易得出。难度等级：易；
　　47.答案C: closer。对应第一段的apart，此处应选择相对应的反义词，closer。难度等级：易；
除44，45个别难题外，整体选择题型的完形难度适中，建议考生多做历年完形真题熟悉巩固考察点与做题法。

36. 答案C
【解析】根据第5段I swam to Dad可以确定是C(swimming)，父亲精通航海术，却不会游泳。
37. 答案D
【解析】根据下文，作者陪父亲一同去航海，而且还救了落水的父亲，可知作者在很小的时候就学会了(learned)航海和游泳。
38. 答案B
【解析】上次作者跟他父亲一起去航海，但却遇到了意外，作者好不容易才救起了落水的父亲，当然是十分难忘(unforgettable)。
39. 答案C
【解析】下文叙述了作者跟其父亲一起去航海的经历。根据Dad hadn’t sailed for years,可知作者在大学毕业回家后，邀请(invited)父亲一同前往，去航海。
40. 答案A
【解析】根据下文When we were in the middle of the lake, a 42 wind came all of a sudden.可知，作者他们到了湖心，突然起风。自然出发的时候应该是风平浪静(calm)，也才能够去航海。
41. 答案B
【解析】尽管父亲多年没有航海，但在父亲的掌控中，一切都进展顺利(go well)。
42. 答案A
【解析】根据下文，他们的船随风颠簸，到处乱撞(violently)，而且父亲还被卷落水中，可知一定是狂风大作(strong)。
43. 答案D
【解析】参考上一题。
44. 答案A

50. 答案D
【解析】作者扑过去抓舵柄，却是迟了一步。
51. 答案C
【解析】紧接着，又是一个巨浪，将船掀翻(turned over)。根据下文，两人都落水了，当然是船翻了呀。
52. 答案B
【解析】父亲在水中无助的挣扎，作者当然应该去保护(protective)他，拯救他。这个时候，不应该为父亲不会游泳而感到羞愧(ashamed)，更不能害怕(afraid)呀，不然，大家都乱了，那不玩完了呀。
53. 答案B
【解析】此时父亲正在水中挣扎，当然是飞快(quickly)的向父亲游了过去，慢了(slowly)，就晚啦。注意当时的作者是大学毕业了，也是一大小伙子了，父亲遇险，应该紧急施救，不能彷徨无助(helplessly)，认为一切都无望的(hopelessly)。
54. 答案C
【解析】刚刚救起的父亲，当然还心有余悸(fear)，注意作者的安慰“It’s all right, Dad. We are safe now,”强调一个safe，让父亲不要害怕啦。
55. 答案D
【解析】以前是作者指望(counted on)父亲，现在作者已经长大成人，当然应该反过来照顾(look out for)父亲了。
【评析】今年的完型在选材上仍然走温情叙事路线，一篇讲述父子情的记叙文，题目设置以实词为主、虚词为辅。严格遵守首行不设空的高考命题要求。要在完型拿下高分，考生需保持思维的一贯性及注重前后文联系。切记不能像做单选一样，做一道扔一道。现在的完型已经不考语法，大大增加了上下文推理出题的比例。如此次的开篇第36题，要读到第5段I swam to Dad才能确定是C，swimming。攻克完形填空，考生如果想节省时间并保证正确率，那建议读文章两遍。仅读一次不易拿下高分，读三遍过于消耗时间。

I 38 . Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose 39 that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.
His 40 still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.

【点评】
2011年高考英语浙江卷完形填空部分原文节选于读者文摘（Reader'sDigest)澳大利亚版，考题略有删节，并替换掉原文中超过高考范围的词汇，采取同义词替换的手段使原文表述通畅。所选文章延续历年出题模式，以记叙文为题材，选取作者在生命中不平凡的阶段受到陌生人帮助的事实，歌颂和赞扬人间真情和助人的美德。
【解析】
21题，属于上文提示法，首句中出现ill，此选项应是ill的同义表达，故选D.sickness。
　　22题，属于上文提示法，上句出现病情可以manageable，所以作者应该是享受那段过去的美好时光，故选B.enjoyed。此选项在2009年全国一卷完形填空部分第41题出现过，且也为正确选项。
　　23题，属于下文解释法，下文出现发生改变，结合首句作者生病，可推出作者表达的是不幸的情绪，故选C.unfortunately。此选项为高考完形填空中的的高频选项。
　　24题，属于转折对比法，上文出现yearsago和changed，因此推出此题应回归现实，故选A.now。此选项在2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第37题出现过，且也为正确选项。
　　25题，属于固定搭配法，addupto总计，makeupfor弥补，补偿，getridof处理，摆脱，takeadvantageof利用，此题应选B.makeupfor。此选项考生不应陌生，2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第21题D选项曾出现过此词，可见背历年考题中的选项部分的重要性。
　　26题，属于逻辑关系法，此法多用于句子与句子之间，解决连词的问题。此题因为作者下午需要睡觉，所以受到限制。故选B.As。
　　27题，属于上文解释法，第三段首句提到作者打算做某事，但由于病情，下午需要睡觉，所以选择受限，故选C.choices。
　　28题，属于前后照应法，上文提到过几年之前唱歌的事实，此处再次出现要去唱歌，故选D.goingback。
　　29题，属于中文代入法，全家都是音乐家，所以走进音像店会被认出，故选A.recognized。
　　30题，属于AandB法，这是并列结构，要求前后词性与词义要相似，几乎在每年的高考完形中都会考查这个知识点。本题and之前说东西很贵，之后理应推出没有足够的钱，故选A.money。
　　31题，属于反义多一对，即四个选项中有一组反义词，答案多在这组反义词中出现。此题C和D构成反义结构，根据文章信息，故选D.often。
　　32题，属于中文代入法，实际上一张光盘里的十首歌也只有三/四首可以用，故选A.actually。
　　33题，属于上文提示法，上文中作者有提到过想再次唱歌的这个想法，故选C.idea。
　　34题，属于同义辨析法，此考查点多在四级考试完形填空部分中出现，在2008年高考英语浙江卷第26题也曾考查过，当年的难度系数约为0.32。此题中的B.view强调的是眺望风景，C.look强调看的眼神，D.sight强调视力，本文店主深深地看了作者，属于眼神之间的交流，故选C.look。
　　35题，属于固定搭配法，店主带领作者穿过拥挤的店铺，从空间穿过，故选D.through。
　　36题，属于感情色彩法，此法多用于解决形容词或副词。下文出现treasure，因此可以推出店主对自己的宝物爱不释手，心爱地触摸，故选B.lovingly。
　　37题，属于固定搭配法，takeyourpick，美国俚语，随你挑选的意思，故选A.pick。
　　38题，属于语法识别法，近几年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化语法点考查，一般只会涉及一道。C.shouldhavecried,本应该做的事情而没有做，放在原文中过于牵强，而本题是作者受到店主的感激，非常感动，本可以哭但没有哭，故选D.couldhavecried。
　　39题，属于寻找重复法，31题与32题之前曾出现onlythreetofoursongscanuse，对应couldsing,故选B.theones。
40题，属于主旨概况法，即所选选项要与原文中心相一致。本文详细描述店主对作者的帮助，店主的善举感动作者，故选C.kindness。

This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle. My 36 Tony,had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year.

Instead of 39 them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year, 40 , I decided to let him 41 for himself.
We went into a big shop,but Tony was very particular about 42 . Although I tried to show him toy after toy,he was not to be 43 . Then I saw he suddenly became 44 ; he had discovered something he really liked: a large tin dram. I was quite happy too 45 I thought what Tony’s mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any 46 for weeks! I led Tony away 47 , saying that the dram was too expensive.
Tony asked for permission to go off 48 and I made the most of my chance to sit down end 49 my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get 50 and got up to look for him. I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a grey suit. She looked 51 her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many 52 in grey suits. I was just going to call the police for help,when I saw a strange 53 dressed in strange orange clothes. He was wearing a false beard and had a caveman’s axe(斧子)in one hand,and a space gun in the other. It was, of course,Tony, who informed me 54 that he was the first 55 to fly into space.

The entire class of 30 girls was told to call the new assistant to find what time their class would be. The teacher must have given them the wrong number __31__ ！”
Until about 9：00 pm, the phone __32__ rang from time to time. Each time, it was a little girl wanting to know what time the class was! Some girls, even after hearing they had the wrong __33__ , would anyway ask if I knew the time! I would just __34__ . It had turned into a joke now!

.【要点综述】如果你总是接到陌生人不停打来的电话，一定会感到很苦恼。本文的作者就经历了这样一件事。当她了解到具体的真相时，真有些忍俊不禁。
16．B　根据语境分析，作者一开始还是很有耐心的，因此用Sorry符合交际场合。 句意：抱歉，您打错了。
17．C　由语境可知，尽管作者做了解释，但对方还是打电话过来。由此可以看出，前后是转折关系，所以用But。
18．A　由语境可知，这里表示的是对方一个电话接着一个电话的打过来。此处是固定搭配，表示“打电话”，用make a call。
19．D　因为作者误认为是同一个人打来的电话，并惹得自己的孩子老是哭，因此十分恼火，lose one's temper，意为：发火。hope 希望； interest兴趣； sense感觉，知觉。
20．C　作者把电话从话机上拿开，想用电话不通的方式阻止对方再次打电话。表示“离开、远离”，用off。
21．A　显然作者把电话拿开的目的是使对方泄气，不至于再次打电话。所以用discourage。frighten 使……害怕；puzzle使……迷惑；connect联系，连接。
22．B　由语境可知，这里表达的意思是：作者刚把话筒放回到话机上，电话又打过来了。四个选项中只有called有“打电话”之意。
23．D　根据语境分析，作者此时已经十分气恼，警告对方，如果再打骚扰电话，她就会报警。
24．C　作者觉得已经没有必要再向对方解释，因此作者拿起话筒保持沉默(silent)。在这之前都是十分生气的，因此，如果选A，显然和前面表示转折的but相矛盾；而calm指的是心里的平静，很显然，作者此时的心情并不平静，也不符合语境。
25．B　前面告诉我们，对方只是一个“it was the voice of a little girl.”，根据语境分析，作者认为对方的父母对孩子没有管教好，因此B项符合语境。
26．D　从后文可知，作者忍无可忍，直接找对方的母亲讲话，demand to do sth.表示“强烈要求做某事”，符合作者当时的心情。refuse拒绝； start开始； prefer更喜欢。
27．A　to one's surprise 意为：让某人惊讶的是。“我”以为小女孩的恶作剧会遭到她妈妈的批评，所以她不敢让她妈妈接电话，但是她却让她妈妈接了，这一点很出乎“我”的预料。to one's disappointment 让某人失望的是； to one's joy让某人高兴的是；to one's satisfaction让某人满意的是。
28．C　从前文“It was three in the afternoon”以及“At 6：30 pm, the phone rang for about the 25th time.”可知，作者一下午都在不停地接听电话。
29．A　根据此处的语境可知，作者把几十个女孩打电话误以为是一个女孩打电话，因此对方的母亲向作者解释：这绝对是女儿给作者打的第一个电话。
30．B　后文“the new assistant”有原词复现，老师把新来的助教的电话给全班同以便于及时沟通。
31．C　老师把电话号码给错了，因此用by mistake“错误地”，符合语境。
32．A　因为老师给错了电话号码，因此全班30个女生电话还没有打完，到了晚上九点还在打电话。still意为：仍然。
33．D　上文已经有说明，老师给错了电话号码。
34．B　由下文的“It had turned into a joke now！”可以看出，作者已经知道事情的缘由，因此她现在不生气，而是觉得可笑。
35．D　作者当时绝对不会想到原来是一个班所有的女生给她打电话。这里使用了虚拟语气。
(2012﹒潍坊期末)

As the old man unwrapped the package, he saw a portrait (画像)of his son. Though the world would __36__ consider it the work of a genius, the painting featured the young man's face __37__ striking detail.
Overcome with emotion, the man __38__ the soldier. After the soldier had left, the old man put the painting above the fireplace, pushing __39__ thousands of dollars worth of art. His task completed, the old man sat in his chair and spent Christmas gazing at the __40__ he had been given.

【要点综述】一位酷爱艺术品收藏的老人，一生搜集艺术珍品无数，却没有一件能比自己为国捐躯的儿子的画像珍贵。
21．C　由上下文的描述“a passion for art collecting”，“they traveled around the world”可以推测出，他们周游世界是在搜集世界上“最好的”艺术珍品。
22．D　由该段最后一句话“The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a doctor.”可以看出，这里表达的意思是：有一年，随着冬天的来临，战争吞没了整个国家，小伙子离开家乡到前线报效国家。所以选war，意思是：战争。
23．C　这里指的是年轻人参军保卫国家，所以选serve。serve the country意为：报效祖国。save 挽救；help帮助；build建设。
24．A　下一句告诉我们，这位父亲在等待更多的关于儿子的消息，担心再也见不到自己的儿子，由此可以看出，电报上只是说儿子失踪了，所以选missing，意为：失踪的。
25．B　收到了儿子在战场上失踪的电报，害怕再也见不到儿子，在等待更多消息的心情应该是“不安的”，所以选B。calmly 冷静地；quietly 安静地； secretly秘密地。
26．A　句意见上一题。
27．D　由下一句可以看出，他所担心的事情真的发生了，也就是说他的儿子真的牺牲了。所以选D，意为：(得到)证实。complete 完成； double 加倍； remove移开。
28．C　儿子去世了，父亲感到很孤独，所以选lonely，意为：孤独的。A项的干扰性很大，但是该词意为：不安的，和and前的upset意思上重复。
29．A　上一句中有选项的名词形式sadness复现。句意：圣诞节的上午，敲门声唤醒了这位(因失去儿子)伤心的老人。
30．B　由他自我介绍中的“I was the one he was ____ when he died. ”可以看出，这位来客就是老人的儿子牺牲时救的那个人，再结合第二段的“The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a doctor.”可以看出，他也是一位士兵。故选soldier。下文中“the soldier told of how…”也提示了答案。
31．D　能够舍身相救，四个选项中只有friend符合语境。
32．A　由第二段的最后一句话可知答案。rescue挽救。
33．C　由语境以及下文的told可以看出，这两个人进行了一些谈话，所以选talk。
34．B　对应第一段的“a passion for art collecting”，所以选love。句意：战士告诉老人，他儿子生前告诉大家他非常热爱艺术品，更不用说他的父亲了。
35．A　好的艺术作品都是艺术家创作的，而战士带来的礼物是战士自己画的，所以他要表达的意思是：我知道你很喜欢艺术珍品，我虽然不是艺术家，但是我画了一幅您儿子的肖像，送给您。所以选artist。
36．B　尽管这幅画画得不是多么好(也就是文章所表达的：世界上绝对不会有人认为这是一位天才画家的作品)，但是却细致地勾画出了小伙子的面部特征。所以选never。
37．C　in detail为固定搭配，意为：详细地。
38．A　收到了别人精心准备的礼物，自然应该感谢，所以选A。
39．C　push aside 把……向旁边推。句意：老人把以前收藏的价值连城的艺术品放到了一边，而把儿子的画像挂到了最显眼的位置。其他各词都能和push搭配，但不符合语境。
40．B　这里指的就是老人收到的礼物，也就是战士送的画像，所以选gift。

【要点综述】“我”小时候很叛逆，父母不喜欢花草，我却偏要喜欢，我在当时的年龄表现出来的是一种叛逆，虽然这种喜好让父母很不高兴，但“我”的执着却改变了他们。后来“我”的花展让父母很有面子，因此“我”改变了父母的成见。
36. C　开始喜欢花草不是因为热爱自然，而是当时的“我”很叛逆，由于父母不喜欢种植花木，我这样做只是为了和父母作对，惹他们生气。intention在此表示“初衷”。
37. D　见上题解析。
38. A　由空前的a beautiful maple tree及后面的Those golden leaves seemed like tons of rubbish to her…可以推出母亲在看着这件大自然的工艺作品时，是充满疑虑的。
39. C　母亲认为那些金黄色的叶子是一堆垃圾，所以应该清除。
40. D　该空所在的句子和下一句表示“我”在那个年龄的逆反心理，家长反对的“我”偏要做。
41. C　upsetting和opposite形成信息互补。
42. A　come up在此表示“发芽，开花”。该句用表示转折的连词but来引出不能发芽开花的结果。
43. B　“with＋名词”结构作状语。
44. D　自己的坚持和劳作终于有了结果，用eventually来表示结果来之不易。
45. B　尽管“我”的花园有了满园春色，但根据该题后的my parents showed no interests可知此处表示转折。
46. A　因为花草影响了父亲开车，父亲很生气地冲“我”大喊大叫(shout at)。
47. B　花草满地使父亲开车进出不方便。
48. B　母亲也不喜欢花草，“我”把“我”种的花放在她的花瓶里，她也只是把它们当成了草。sadness表示伤感，与母亲的喜好无关。
49. C　rather than此处表示“而不是”， other than意思是“除了……没有”，more than和less than分别表示“多于”，“少于”。
50. A　regardless of表示让步，此处意思是“尽管父母不喜欢，我仍然坚持摆弄花草”。
51. C　continue在此表示“执着和坚持”。
52. C　花草有情，对“我的爱心”有反应和回报。
53. D　“我的坚持”对父母是挑战。

【要点综述】本文为记叙文，叙述了在一场雷雨引发房屋火灾之后，Sibson如何自救，以及他的邻居Huggons帮他脱离险境的惊心动魄的故事。
21. A　此句句意为：在Sibson还不知道发生什么事情的时候，便被一声雷震醒。此处before表示“还来不及……就……”。
22. D　“暴风雨直袭他的两层木屋”，暴风雨应该是从房屋上方袭来，故用over。
23. C　根据后文“他打开通向地下室的门”可以判断Sibson冲下楼梯的目的是“查看一下”到底发生了什么事情。
24. D　他打开地下室的门，火焰从里面喷发出来。此处explode out意为break out(突然爆发)。
25. A　根据此句中“因为这个房间有一个通向屋外的独立的楼梯”可知，他当时感觉应该是“安全的”。
26. B　当他正想通过那个楼梯出去的时候，却被一堵火墙阻拦(stop)，故用B。
27. B　根据前面“three kilometers”及后文“so well hidden by trees”可知他的房子应该是离开主干道有三公里。故用介词off。
28. C　由于离开主干道三公里且被树所遮蔽，因此呼救是没有结果的(fruitless)，故选C。
29. A　突然他听到了像烟雾警报器之类的声音。strike one’s ears“传进某人的耳朵；突然听到”。
30. D　根据后文Huggons拨打911可知，他是带上了他的电话。故选D。
31. A　Huggons应该是朝着他所听到的声音方向而去。故选A。
32. B　警察应该是警告Huggons不要进入Sibson的房子。故选enter。
33. C　Huggons说他无论如何都不能听Sibson在拼命呼喊，死在火中。应使用scream。
34. A　Huggons进入房子，但由于烟雾很大，他很快不得不跑回来“喘口气”。此处catch one’s breath意为“喘口气”，故答案选A。
35. D　在又一次打算进入房子的尝试之后，Huggons最后还是放弃了，绕着圈子回来了。此处应使用attempt(尝试)。
36. B　由于烟雾很大，Huggons应该是绕圈子从房子里面出来的，故选B。
37. C　当风将烟雾吹得足够的分散，以至他能够看到Sibson。此处part表示“将……分开”，因此不能用open，因此答案选C。
38. D　他用手电筒往丛林中照。此处shine the flashlight为固定说法，意为“用手电筒照”。故选D。
39. C　Huggons将梯子搭在房子上，将Sibson从二楼拽下来。此时二楼房子就要倒了，为了形容动作之快，故用pull。
40. D　根据后文Sibson自己所说的话“我当天晚上是一个人。然后我听到了我生命中最美丽的声音，是Huggons的。”可知，他对Huggons心存感激。故选D。

【要点综述】文章讲述一对德国夫妻十几年如一日地对柏林街头的无家可归者提供无私帮助，为他们提供膳食、衣物，甚至将自己的房子对流浪者开放，并且不计回报，他们的善举赢得了社会的广泛支持和赞誉。
36．B　很多人认为，无家可归者都在发展中国家。事实上，无家可归者无处不在。很显然，描述的是一个客观的事实，所以用truth。result“结果”；reason“原因”；idea“想法，观点”。
37. D　对应上文以及常识可知，发展中国家都是比较贫穷的，而德国是发达国家，所以应该选D，意思是“富裕的”。句意：比如，我们有多少人想到会在一些像德国这样富裕的国家看到人们流落街头呢？traditional“传统的”；developing“发展的”；typical“典型的”。
38. C　句意：Kurt Muller 和他的妻子Rita花了11年时间为德国首都柏林那些无家可归的人做饭。本段最后一句也有暗示。make meals“做饭”。
39. A　句意：当大部分的德国人外出度假时，他们首先开始了一个很长的炎热的夏天。根据下文“他们呆在家里为无家可归的人做三明治”和本句中的first看出，是“开始”的意思。meet“遇见”；call“叫”；leave“离开”。这三个词与one long hot summer不搭配。故选A。
40. D　be away on holiday“外出度假”。asleep意为“睡着的”，是形容词；alone意为“单独的”，是形容词；across意为“穿过”，作副词或介词。
41. B　set up a table 摆桌子。句意：Kurt和他妻子呆在家里，做三明治，在街上摆一张桌子，给那些无家可归的人提供食物。bring up“抚养”；put aside“储存”；give away“泄露，分发”。
42. A　由下文的“What these people also need is warmth and ______”可以看出，这里表达的意思是：Muller夫妇意识到仅仅为这些无家可归者提供食物和衣服是不够的，他们还需要温暖和关心。所以选 enough“足够的”。
43. D　语意见上一题。fame“名誉，名声”；freedom“自由”；courage“勇气”； caring“关心；关爱”。该空要根据连词and和其所连接的“warmth”判断。“温暖”和“关爱”并列，故选D。
44. A　句意：Muller夫妇马上把他们的电话号码给街上的人们，并告诉他们在任何时候都可以给他们打电话。don't hesitate to do sth.意思是“毫不犹豫做某事”，符合语境。 agree“同意”；pretend“假装”；intend“打算”，都不符合语境。
45. C　make sure“确保”。这里表达的是这对夫妇为无家可归者服务的真诚。句意：Rita确保家里有人接(无家可归者打来的)电话，并且他们的家门总是为无处过夜的人敞开着。make sense“有意义”；find out“发现”；work out“计算出”。
46. A　语意见上题。open“开着的”；crowded“拥挤的”；noisy“嘈杂的”；near“附近的”。故选A项。
47. D　这对夫妇24小时都在为无家可归者服务，很快花完了他们所有的时间和金钱……句中宾语为all their time and money，故用spend，意为“花费”。
48. B　由于花完了这对夫妇的所有金钱，因此Kurt拜访一些食品和服装公司，请求他们的捐助。后面的donations也是提示。pay for“为……付款”；ask for“请求，要求”；look into“调查”；carry out“执行”。只有B项符合题意。
49. C　句意：如今，有三十多个公司定期为之捐赠食物和其他的物品。四个选项中只有regularly“定期地”符合语境。completely“完全地”；calmly“平静地”；roughly“差不多，大致”。
50. C　deliver“传送，交付”。此处指由志愿者把所捐赠的食物和物品分发给无家可归的人。advertise“做广告”；sell“卖”； lend“借给”。
51. A　句意：人们还把衣服和钱送给他们，一家制鞋商捐赠新鞋子。故选donate，意思是“捐助”。前面句子有该词名词形式出现。produce“生产”；design“设计”；collect“搜集”。
52. B　payment“报酬”。由下文Rita所说的话可知，这里表达的意思是： Kurt和Rita助人的辛勤劳动不求任何回报。permission“允许”； direction“方向”；support“支持”。
53. D　这里他们把无家可归的人当做自己的孩子，把自己当做他们的父母，而父母不应该希望通过帮助自己的孩子来赚钱。 故选D。borrow “借”；raise “筹集”；save “节约”。
54. C　句意：尽管Rita承认自己经常感到疲劳，但是她愿意继续她的工作。从上文中Kurt和Rita为那些无家可归的人所做的一切可知，他们付出很多，她一定很劳累。根据语境选C项。
55. B　他们的行为已经使受助者的生活发生了变化。make a difference“有影响，产生变化”，符合题意。

21. B　从后面的“I could not find…work”知道，虽然作者有丰富的工作经验并且拥有硕士学位，但是仍然找不到令人满意的工作，是一个表示转折的让步状语从句。
22. C　与前面的从句呼应，指作者经验丰富、学历高，但是仍然找不到令人满意的工作。
23. A　结合后面的“a school bus”以及“As I pulled the bus over to…a little girl…”可知作者是开校车来谋生的。
24. D　后面的“for I had lost my flat”说明了作者没有房子住了，因此只能和朋友住在一起，所以选living。
25. B　根据后面的“five interviews (面试) with a company”和“they called to say I did not…the job”知道作者参加了五次公司的面试，但是被告知没有被录用，因此选B。

29. C　saying作前面的handed这个动作的伴随状语，指小女孩一边递给作者一个耳环，一边说。
30. A　结合后面的“somebody claimed (认领) it”可知是小女孩告诉作者把这个耳环保存好，以防有人认领。
31. B　hit在这里表示“突然想到”，其他的词无此用法。

36. C　结合下文的“She asked me”可知是那天晚上有人给“我”打电话。

【要点综述】 本文是记叙文。全文记述了在危难时刻一只猫救了主人的故事。Inky是Glen Kruger领养的一只猫。一天夜里，Kruger去地下室关闭炉子时摔伤，Inky叫醒了自己的女主人，将Kruger送到了医院，从此他们再也不能分开了。
36. C　联系空后的Inky以及下文作者提到这只猫时用Inky我们可以知道，Inky是Glen Kruger给猫起的名字。
37. B　联系空后的playmates我们知道，Kruger生活在农场，一直以这些猫作为玩伴。
38. C　联系空前的My hearing was damaged我们知道，是机器的噪音让Kruger的听力受到了严重的损害。其他三个选项也都表示声音，但是sound指一切事物发出的声音，不是指噪音；alarm表示“发出的警报或者提醒”；voice指“人说话发出的声音”。
39. A　联系前文had only cats…playmates我们知道，Kruger只有这些猫为伴，因此他必须学会与这些动物沟通。
40. A　联系空后的house以及with five other cats我们知道，Inky与其他五只猫同居一室，因此这里用sharing一词。
41. C　联系后文我们知道，Inky救了Kruger一命，这让它有别于其他的猫，因此说它做了点事情让它不同于其他普通的猫。
42. C　联系空前的set her apart以及空后的cats，再结合Inky所做的事情我们知道，它可不是一只普通的猫。因此我们可以得出答案。其他三个选项均有一定干扰性。familiar熟悉的；lovely可爱的；outstanding出类拔萃的。
43. B　联系空后的the wood stove for the night以及下文他的妻子已经熟睡可知，夜深了，他去地下室把炉子灭掉。其他三个选项都是shut构成的短语。shut out关在外面；shut down关低，调小；shut up闭嘴，不说话。
44. D　联系空后的to the top of the stairs我们知道，他从地下室向上爬楼梯，到了楼梯顶部。其他三个选项：march前进，行军；fly飞行；struggle挣扎。
45. B　联系空前的he slipped以及空后的against an old shelf我们知道，他滑了下来了，撞到了一个旧的架子上，伤了后背。其他三个选项：bend弯曲；shake摇动；pull拖，拉。
46. B　联系空后的going into shock我们知道，架子把他砸伤了，他躺在血泊中。
47. D　结合前文他让架子砸倒在地，以及后面的going into shock我们知道，他感到自己快休克了。
48. B　空前讲到He shouted for help，空后讲到他的妻子在对面的卧室内睡得很沉，没有听到他的呼救，因此前后为转折关系。
49. C　联系空后的内容我们知道，在呼救无果后，Kruger注意到Inky正在从台阶的顶部看着自己。其他三个选项：thus表达因果关系，otherwise表达转折，rather意思是“而不是”。
50. B　ran一词最能表达Inky看到主人处于危险时的焦急心情。它赶紧跑到卧室门口。其他三个选项：walk走；return回来；withdraw后退。
51. C　情急之下，Inky赶紧跑到了卧室门口，用爪子疯狂地挠门。其他选项：rapidly快速地；suddenly突然地；urgently急切地。这些都不能表达Inky救主人的心切。
52. B　联系前文的…in a pool of blood on the basement floor我们知道，Kruger躺在地下室，因此Inky把女主人带到地下室。
53. A　联系前文的on the basement floor我们知道，到了地下室，女主人发现自己的丈夫就躺在地下室的地板上。其他三个选项：in the middle of 在……中部；at the top of在……顶端；in the front of在……的前面。
54. D　联系前文的to the hospital以及spent six months我们可以知道，Kruger在医院住了六个月，然后康复了。其他三个选项：regret遗憾，惋惜；rest休息；relax放松。
55. A　联系空后的Kruger’s side我们知道，有了这次经历后Inky再也没有离开Kruger的左右。

Inspiration
“Mama, when I grow up, I'm going to be one of those！”I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three. It was the first time that my __36__ took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training. As I grew older and was __37__ to more, my interests in the world of dance __38__varied but that little girl's dream of someday becoming a __39__ in the company never left me. In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a __40__： I became a member of the company __41__ back to 1925.
As I look back on that day now, it surely __42__ any sense of reality. I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief __43__ I was halfway through rehearsals(排练) on my first day. I never actually __44__ to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely __45__. I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the chance, it did not come without its fair share of __46__. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to __47__ up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme __48__ to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us __49__. To then follow those high­energy rehearsals __50__ a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new __51__ of the words “hard work”. What I thought were my physical __52__ were pushed much further than I thought __53__. I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great __54__ of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a __55__ that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow—and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.

【要点综述】本文为记叙文。从一个女孩儿时的梦想开始写起，到后来被舞蹈公司录取，然后经历严格训练，成为舞蹈队长。梦想支撑女孩成长，舞蹈公司也发展壮大，一切来源于公司长期以来的传统——每天鼓励人们去追寻梦想。

“Just sign here, sir，” the deliveryman said as he handed Oscar Reyna a package.

Oscar was 16 when he first saw the __25__ umbrella. He had gone to a concert with his grandparents. As they were leaving, he noticed an umbrella on an empty seat. Impressed by its __26__， Oscar felt a strong desire to find its __27__ .
Oscar __28__ the manager to look in the record of advance ticket sales. Just as he thought, a name matched the seat __29__ Oscar had found the umbrella. The name was Mrs. Katie O'Brien.
Oscar talked his grandparents into going by Mrs. O'Brien's __30__ on their way home. He rang the bell, the door opened, and an elderly woman appeared.“May I __31__ you？”she asked.
“I'd like to return it if it's yours，”Oscar said, __32__the umbrella as if presenting a __33__ that had long been wished for.
“Why, yes! It's mine，”replied Mrs. O'Brien with a __34__ smile and shining eyes.“It was given to me by my father years ago. Thank you so much for returning it. May I offer you a reward for your __35__？”
“No, ma'am，”he said, “My grandmother says that a good deed is its own reward.”
“Well, that's __36__ what my father used to say. What is your name, young man？”
Years later Oscar was staring at the finely carved handle of the umbrella as he remembered Mrs. O'Brien. It was in perfect condition, considering how __37__ it was. Why had it arrived here today?

【要点综述】常言说“勿以善小而不为，勿以恶小而为之”。本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Oscar收到了一个包裹，包裹里面是一把雨伞，看到雨伞，Oscar回忆起了20多年前，当时他还是个16岁的少年时，在听完音乐会后，发现了一把Katie夫人遗忘的雨伞，他不辞辛苦地去她家归还雨伞的经历。而在20多年后，Katie夫人又把这把雨伞通过包裹的形式赠送给了Oscar，以感谢他当年的善举。
21. B　从上下文知，这个包裹很重要，所以是用褐色纸张小心(carefully)包裹起来的一个长的盒子，strictly表示“严格地”；roughly表示“粗略地”；casually表示“随意地”；都与语意不符合。
22. A　从上下文知道，Oscar打开了这个盒子，发现里面是一把雨伞，所以此处用open表示“打开……”，其他都不符合语意。
23. D　从语境知，虽然(Although)Oscar已经有快20多年没再见过这把雨伞，但是他马上(immediately)就认出了它，此处根据上下句可知，语意表示“转折”，所以用Although，其他都不符合语境。
24. C　参见上题解析。clearly表示“清晰地”；fully表示“完全地”；suddenly表示“突然地”，根据句意选C项。
25. B　从下文知，这把雨伞对于老妇人而言是非常珍贵的，所以应该是“不同寻常的”，故用unusual；average表示“平均的”；plain表示“平淡的，平凡的”；typical表示“典型的”；都不符合语境。
26. A　从上文知，此伞不同寻常，同时从下文知，这伞非常珍贵，由此Oscar必定是对这伞的“美丽之处”印象深刻，第二段也提到伞的美丽，所以用beauty。shape表示“形状”；origin表示“起源”；history表示“历史”；都不符合语意，故选A项。
27. D　上文提到“he noticed an umbrella on an empty seat”，由此推断知Oscar要找到的是该伞的主人，所以选owner。designer表示“设计师”；seller表示“销售商”；user表示“使用者”；都不符合语境。
28. A　从下文知，Oscar说服了剧院经理去查先前的售票记录，如他所料，有一个名字对上了，她是Katie女士。这里convince表示“说服”。force表示“强迫”；encourage表示“鼓励”；advise表示“建议”；都与语境不符，根据句意选A项。
29. D　这里是定语从句考点，先行词是the seat，在从句中作地点状语，所以用where，因此选D项。
30. C　从全文知，Oscar说服了他的祖父母顺便去一下Katie女士家里(house)。family表示“家庭”时，侧重于家庭成员；theater表示“剧院”；neighborhood表示“邻里”；都不符合上下文，根据句意选C项。
31. B　从下文知，Katie女士没想到会有人来还伞，所以开门看到一个陌生人的第一反应就是“我可以帮你什么忙吗？”，所以用“May I help you”这样的交际用语，其他选项都无此用法，因此选B项。
32. D　从上文return知，Oscar是要还雨伞，所以他是伸出(hold out)手去把雨伞交给Katie女士，好像是那渴望已久的礼物(gift)一样。put up表示“张贴，竖起”；turn out表示“证明是，表明是”；pick up表示“接收，拾起”；都不符合语境。
33. C　参见上题解析。这里可以从下文的wish for推断出，表示长久渴望得到的东西，应该用gift才能表达此意义，故答案选C项。
34. A　从下文知，Katie女士拿到雨伞后很开心，所以会笑得很灿烂，故用a wide smile来表示。confident表示“自信的”；proud表示“骄傲的，自豪的”；shy表示“害羞的”；都与语境不符，根据句意选A项。
35. B　Katie女士认为Oscar这样的善举(kindness)应该得到一定的报偿，因为这伞对她来说是非常珍贵的。patience表示“耐心”；courage表示“勇气”；determination表示“决心”；都不符合语境。
36. C　从下文知，Oscar祖母说过的话也正是(exactly)Katie女士的父亲所讲过的，故用exactly表示“正是，就是”。obviously表示“明显地”；naturally表示“自然地”；probably表示“可能地”；都不符合语境。
37. A　结合全文知，这把伞已经有些年头了，应该是很旧(old)了的，但保存得相当好。该空选项可以从前文in perfect condition推断出。
38. D　从前文“Why had it arrived here today”知，Oscar感到很疑惑，为什么Katie女士要把伞送给他，而似乎是对他疑问的一种回应，他发现纸上还有张便条掉了下来，所以用in answer。in contrast表示“作为对比”；in return表示“作为回报”；in exchange表示“用于交换”；都不符合语境。
39. B　从便条知，Katie女士希望Oscar能接受(accept)这把雨伞作为对他的无私(unselfish)之善举的一种馈赠。possess表示“拥有，占有”；carry表示“携带”；value表示“珍惜”；都不符合语境。
40. C　参见上题解析。Oscar能把伞送还给Katie女士，这本身就是一种无私的行为，所以用unselfish。


(2013﹒四川)
“Look, it’s Baldy!” A boy shouted in my direction across the playground. Even though I was used to regular insults (侮辱) because of the 11 on my head, it was 12 horrible to hear. I sighed as I was headed back to the class.
When I was just 20 months old, I suffered serious 13 after a bowl full hot oil fell on my head. I was 14 to hospital and had to stay there for weeks while the doctors 15 to save my life. “Holly’s very 16 to be alive,” they told Mum and Dad. “But she’ll be 17 with scars on her head, and of course her hair won’t grow there.”
As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I 18 wore a scarf to cover them up when I left home. 19 I didn’t, people would call me horrible names like Baldy. Although my friends were always comforting me, they never 20 understood how it felt.
Then through the hospital I was 21 to a children’s burns camp, where children like me can get any help. There, I 22 14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious than mine. But she is so 23 that she never lets anyone put her down. “You shouldn’t 24 what people say about what you look like because we’re not different from anyone else, Holly,” she 25 me. “And you don’t need to wear a scarf because you look great 26 it!” For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who’d been through something 27 . So weeks later, at my 13th birthday party, 28 by her bravery, I gave up my scarf and showed off my scars. It felt amazing not having to 29 away behind my scarf.
Now, I am 30 of what I look like and much happier, because I have realized it is your personality (个性) that decides who you truly are.

[定文体抓主旨]：
本文是一篇记叙文。作者因儿时的一次意外事故，头部留下了大片的疤痕而且不能再长头发，成了光头。为了不被人嘲笑讥讽，她总是用头巾把头部遮盖起来。后来她遇到一位与自己有相似经历的一位女孩，在她的鼓励下她摘下了围巾，开始勇敢面对现实。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们，真正的你是由你的个性而不是外貌决定的。文章最后一段点出文章主旨大意。
本篇难度：中等。

大意推测
第一部分（para.1）

作者所面临的困境
第二部分（para.2--3）
a bowl full hot oil fell on my head; save my life; with scars on her head; hair won’t grow; people would call me horrible names like Baldy
事故发生的原委及对作者后来的生活造成的影响
第三部分（para.5）
much happier; it is your personality that decides who you truly are.
作者用自己的经历告诉我们：你的个性决定了你是什么样的人
[解析]：
11. C。根据首句baldy（秃头）和第二段with scars on her head可知作者头上能看到的应该是‘疤痕’，因此选项C正确。
12. A。根据句首的even though（即使），此处应为转折关系。 根据句意：‘即使已经习惯了被人这样侮辱，但听到时仍旧会感到伤心难过’，可推知A项正确。
13. D。根据a bowl full hot oil fell on my head，可知作者受的是‘烫伤’，因此D选项正确。
14. A。根据上句作者‘受了严重烫伤’，推断出应该被‘迅速’送往医院，因此A选项正确。
15. B。根据句中to save my life，可知‘挽救生命’如同一场‘战斗’，因此B选项正确。
16. B。根据上一句‘医生在全力抢救生命’可知，作者能够活下来应该是‘很幸运的’，因此B选项正确。
17. C。第二段提到‘一碗热汤倒在了头上’，那么肯定会‘留下’疤痕了，所以选项C正确。
18. B。因为‘在乎头上的疤痕’，所以应该‘总是’戴上头巾来遮掩，所以选项B正确。
19. C。根据前一句可知，作者出门总是会‘戴上头巾’，这里的didn’t显然是指‘不戴’，所以可知本句的意思应该是：‘如果’不戴，人们就……，因此选项C正确。

20. D。从第4段的For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who’d been through something similar（在我的生活中第一次可以和一个与我有相似经历的人交谈）可以得知之前没有人能够‘感同身受地、真正地’理解她。因此可知正确选项为D。
21. B。根据固定搭配。be introduced … to … 意思是‘把……介绍给……’，根据句意：通过医院，我被介绍参加了一个儿童烧伤营，可知选项B正确。
22. A。根据前句可知作者去了一个儿童烧伤营，所以，她在那里应该是‘遇到’了一个女孩，因此可知选项A正确。
23. B。根据句中she never lets anyone put her down （她从来不让任何人将她击败）可知她是个‘意志坚强’的女孩，因此选项B正确。
24. D。考察短语词义。根据what people say about（人们说什么），可知是不要‘听’，因此选项D正确。
25. B。根据上下文中的句子we’re not different from anyone else（我们同其他人没有任何不同）和you look great（你看上去棒极了）可知，Stephanie是在鼓励作者，因此选项B正确。
26. C。根据you don’t need to wear a scarf（你没有必要戴头巾）可知Stephanie要表达的是‘不戴’头巾看上去也很棒，因此选项C正确。
27. A。根据上下文可知作者是在儿童烧伤营，这里都是有着类似经历的孩子，因此可知选项A正确。
28. D。根据上下文可知作者受到了Stephanie的激励，下决心勇敢地接受自己，因此选项D正确。
29. A。根据前句show off the scars （亮出疤痕）和not having to … behind my scarf可知应该是‘不必再躲藏在围巾的后面’因此选项A正确。
30. D。考查短语词义。be proud of , 意思是‘为……感到骄傲、自豪’，根据上下文可知作者不再为自己的容貌感到自卑，因此选项D正确。选项B be aware of （意识到……），选项A be sick of（讨厌……）和选项C be tired of （厌倦……）均与句意不符。

【要点综述】 本文为一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者2012年到佛罗里达奥兰多出席作者会期间受到热心人帮助的感人故事。
36．A　根据该段首句以及下文的“…might be just what the doctor ordered…”可知选A。根据常识可知医生给刚刚康复的病人的建议自然是“度假”。
37. B　本句为部分倒装结构，将作状语的off前置了。正常的结构为so I went off。go off＝ leave off出发；keep off远离，(使)不靠近；drop off落下，减少；knock off将……击打出来，完成，降低。根据上文“…I received an invitation to a writer's conference in Orlando, Florida.”可知，作者是“出发”去参加作者会。故选B。
38. C　intend意图；promise答应，许诺；manage设法；deserve值得。manage to do sth意为“设法做成某事”。句意：到达佛罗里达州(又称阳光州)是非常累人的，但我还是成功地搭乘出租车到达我的住处并安顿下来。故选C。
39. D　根据语境可知，作者是到达住处并安顿下来。下文“At the end of the day, she…to take me back to my accommodation.”也是提示。故选D。
40. D　外出搭乘“出租车”，本句的another taxi承接上句的a taxi。句意：第二天上午，我坐另一辆出租车到购物中心买了一些纪念品。故选D。
41. C　instead相反；first首先；later之后，随后；once一旦。根据语境可知，作者是在购物中心买了几件纪念品之后去一家咖啡屋吃午饭，故选C。
42. B　classify分类；occupy占用；decorate装饰；paint油漆。根据but可推知，咖啡屋的桌子坐满了人。故选B。
43. A　根据下段首句可知，作者是和对方“分享”一张桌子。故选A。
44. A　根据本段的“I'm retired…”可知，这应是位老纪大的女士，故选A。
45. B　根据上文两次出现的lunch可知，他们是在同一张桌子上吃饭。此处使用meal指代lunch。故选B。
46. C　作者来此地开会和旅游，出行自然需要“租用”小汽车。故选C。

The fitting­in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her.She was really small for her age of 12.The boys in my class often__36__ about her and laughed their heads off.She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan(孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who __37__ that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids.I looked down at this__38__girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her __39__in with us? There had to be a __40__．
One day，when I went into the classroom，I saw that Suzy had __41__ her geography book to a picture of a train，and in her notebook, she had made a(n) __42__copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming __43__show.So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker，and showed her what Suzy had __44___. “Why, it's wonderful，” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted __45__ the talent show.“I need more of these, but I just don't have enough __46__．Could you help me, Suzy？”
On the day of the talent show, Suzy's __47__ were everywhere—all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And finally，” said Mr Brown，the schoolmaster，at the end of the show, “we have a(n)__48__ award.I'm sure you've all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded.“One of our own students __49__ them.”
I could hear everyone whispering.“Who in our school could draw __50__ well？”
Mr Brown waited a while before saying，“__51__ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a __52__， too.Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student—Suzy Khan！”
Mr Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist's set.“Thank you，” she cried.
I__53__， at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she'd probably never __54__ anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to __55__ their hands.Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening.I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.

【要点综述】 本文讲了一个来自非洲的儿童Suzy被美国家庭收养，为了让孩子了解美国生活，他们把孩子送进学校和美国孩子一起学习，但那些美国孩子却经常嘲笑她。一次偶然的机会，“我”发现了她的绘画才能，并把她介绍给艺术老师。艺术老师也认同她的绘画才能，让她帮自己制作才艺秀的海报。在才艺秀结束的时候，校长颁发给Suzy一个特殊的奖项，同学们也接纳了她。
36. A　班里的男孩子会拿她开玩笑，然后就是哄堂大笑。而她也只好眼含泪水地假装看书。joke about 拿……开玩笑；care about介意，在乎；forget about忘记；worry about为……担忧。根据语境可知选A。
37. B　这个非洲孤儿被美国家庭收养，美国家庭决定(认定)和美国孩子在一起才能让她学会美国的生活方式。decide这里是“认定，断定”的意思。report报告，报道；complain抱怨，投诉；question质疑，提问。
38. C　根据上文叙述，这个女孩比同龄12岁的孩子都要瘦小，所以“我”低头看着这个小小的女孩子，下决心无论如何都要帮助她。rich富有的；proud骄傲的；popular流行的，受欢迎的。A、B、D三项显然都不符合语境。tiny ＝very small。故选C。
39. C　“我”打算帮助这个女孩与大家融洽相处。文章标题已给出提示。fit in with(与……)合得来，适应。
40. D　根据上文“我”决定帮助小女孩与大家融洽相处，所以“我”必须寻找一个方法。manner做事或行为方式，多指行动的特殊方式或独特的方法；pattern模式，花样，图案；choice选择；way“方式，方法，手段”，可指一般的方法，有时也指个人的方法或方式。因为这里没有谈到什么方法，所以只能用笼统的方法way。
41. C　Suzy把书打开到火车图片那里。open…to“把……翻到”，to是介词，表达“到……地方”。
42. B　根据下文提示“‘Why, it's wonderful…’”可知，她对火车图的复制，效果非常好，与此题选项中的perfect意思相近。
43. D　根据后文提示the talent show可知这是一个才艺秀。
44. D　根据上文可知Suzy在画火车，所以“我”把她画的东西展示给艺术老师看。colour涂色和染色；write书写；carve雕刻；draw画。
45. C　根据文章内容，这里是老师拿出一张为“才艺秀”做的海报。for意为“为……”。
46. B　由该空前面的more和空后的help两个词可知，老师还需要更多的海报，但老师“没有足够的时间”，所以才请Suzy帮忙制作。
47. D　艺术老师想让Suzy帮忙制作一些海报，所以，才艺秀当天应该到处都能看到Suzy制作的海报。
48. A　才艺秀当天大家都表演了，还要颁发一个特殊的奖项给制作海报的人，因为制作海报原本不是才艺秀的内容。
49. A　句意：我们一个学生画了这些海报。可以使用paint一词，表示绘画。
50. B　so表示“那么，那样”，修饰形容词或副词，也可以使用that，两者意思相近。that well＝so well。
51. D　因为这位同学如此努力地画了这些海报，所以值得奖励。since＝now that/because。
52. A　因为努力画了这些海报，这位同学值得奖励。prize奖励；rank等级，秩序；rest休息；place地点，位置。
53. B　作者意识到Suzy从来没有拥有过什么，这些成就和别人的承认第一次让她意识到自己的重要性。reply回答；realize意识到；remember回忆；regret后悔，遗憾。
54. C　因为是外来的移民，没有融入大家的生活中，这次活动让大家看到了Suzy拥有的东西。
55. A　因为Suzy画得好，得到了校长表扬，也得到了大家的认可，所以大家为她鼓掌。clap one's hands鼓掌。

Building a successful business and then losing it had left very little time for building a successful __47__. For a time after our business __48__ I thought I might lose my family as well.
Living in the tiny __49__ with no television, we sat close together reading and talking. One evening, standing under a jewelled sky, I found myself __50__ for all the hardships. We had walked the trails and climbed the canyon walls. We had become a family!

【要点综述】 本文讲述了一个生命的奇迹的故事，Simon和Joe一起攀登安第斯山脉的Siula Grande峰，Joe摔断了腿，摔进了冰裂缝，最后他顽强地爬回到了几英里之外的营地。文章告诉我们只要我们遇到困难不放弃，一切都有可能。
41. C　根据“Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula Grande…”和on their way back可知他们成功地到达了山顶。
42. A　根据but表示转折，与前面的成功攀登构成对比，以及“Joe fell and broke his leg.”可知在回来的途中，他们陷入了困境。
43. D　根据“…he would probably get back…”可知，如果Simon一个人继续走的话，他可能会回去。
44. B　根据“…he would probably get back…”可知，Simon可能会安全地返回。
45. D　根据“…and try to lower Joe down the mountain on a rope…”可知Simon 试图用绳子把Joe送到山下去，这表明他要冒着生命危险，尽全力帮助朋友下山。
46. C　在他们继续往下走的过程中，天气变得越来越糟糕。
47. D　根据下文的“…Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice(峭壁)．”可知，因为看不清、听不清对方，Simon把Joe送到了一个悬崖边上，说明他们又遇到了另一个麻烦。
48. A　根据“They couldn't see or hear each other…Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice(峭壁)．”可知，由于失误Simon把Joe送到了悬崖边上。
49. D　Joe再爬上来或者Simon把他拽上来都不太可能。
50. B　根据“…was pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice.”可知，由于Joe在悬崖下面悬着，因此他的体重也把Simon往悬崖下面拖拽着，即他们两个都有可能掉下悬崖，丧失生命。
51. A　根据“…after more than an hour in the dark and the icy cold…”和“…he cut the rope.”可知，经过在黑暗和寒冷中一个多小时的挣扎，Simon最终做出了决定。
52. C　见上题解析。
53. B　根据cut the rope和into a huge crevasse可知Joe掉了下去。
54. A　根据but和“…to get out of the crevasse and started to…”可知他虽然不能走路了，但是还是设法从裂缝中爬了出来，向着营地移动。
55. C　见上题解析。
56. B　营地大约有10千米远。
57. D　Simon已经安全地返回了山脚。
58. A　根据上文Simon割断绳子，Joe掉下悬崖等，和“He thought that Joe must be…”可知，Simon认为Joe一定死了。
59. C　虽然Simon认为Joe死了，但是他并不想立即离开营地。
60. B　Simon认为Joe已经死了，所以三天后，半夜他听到了Joe的声音，他简直不敢相信。

One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 38 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 39 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 40 person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 41 Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 42 to deal with was that the day before the 43 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 44 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 45 It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 46 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47 everything so harshly ( 刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 48 as well.
Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, 49 when we're honest, we can be sharply 50 of the world. I'm not suggesting you 51 problems, or that you pretend things are 52 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are— 53 most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big 54 .
Train yourself to "bite your tongue" , and with a little 55, you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.

Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head—to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 out local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19 it. The team practice, 20 was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23 to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go .
From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t 25 a single practice. She had a 26 intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten—year—old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 29 ---ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.
Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , “The highest honor goes to Cathy!” Looking around, he continued, “Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33 skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart.”
It was the greatest 34 of my daughter’s life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).

44.A 考查形容词辨析。形容词automatic自动的；slow缓慢的；independent独立的；changing不断变化的；Kurt告诉我成长并不是一个自动的过程，一定要有计划性，有计划的个人成长才是有效的成长。从那以后我意识到自己在这方面的缺乏并作出改变。BCD三项与语义不搭配。

【答案】36-40. DDACB 41-45. ADCBD 46-50. AACBC 51-55. ADBBC
37. D考查上下文串联。根据“ __37__at school for practice hours __38__ anyone else”可知，学习音乐的同学需要比不学音乐的早到学校几个小时，为了练习弹奏乐器，turn up原意“调高(音量)”，在此意为“出现”，符合语境。
38. A 考查上下文串联。“anyone else”指不学音乐的学生，学习音乐的要比规定的到校时间早到几个小时，before anyone else had to be there比规定的到校时间早几个小时。这也是Gabriel不想学习音乐的原因之一。
39. C考查上下文串联。本题需要结合语境进行选择。根据“as he hated getting to school extra early”可知，Gabriel讨厌过早到校，因此他对自己发誓“不音乐，A背叛；B接受；C避免，避开；D欣赏。注意单词在文章中的灵活翻译，只有C项符合语境。
40. B考查上下文串联。本段讲Gabriel在一次音乐课上意外发现自己很喜欢音乐，与上一段是转折关系，
故选B。
41. A考查名词辨析和句意理解。that was __41__of his school’s standard curriculum是定语从句，音乐课是学
校的标准课程的一部分，言外之意就是说，每个学生都得上这门音乐课。
42. D考查上下文串联。根据下句“actually tried to hide pleasure”等词或词组可以看出，Gabriel在音乐中找到了乐趣，并试图隐藏这份愉悦，由此可知，第38空的意思是“演奏音乐很容易”。只有D项符合语境。
43. C考查上下文串联。根据actually可知，Gabriel对音乐的看法有了变化，他实际上是喜欢音乐的，A/B/D都是有否定倾向的词，不符合语境。
44. B考查近义词辨析和上下文串联。Gabriel不想让音乐老师看到自己表露出来的很明显的喜悦之情，transparent指(谎言、借口)易看穿的；obvious明显的，显然的，故选B。
45. D考查动词辨析。A.run 跑，经营；B.jogged慢跑；C.jumped跳；D.wandered漫游，闲逛，徘徊。音乐老师在教室里来回走动，听到Gabriel弹奏钢琴的声音，就走过来聆听。wander符合语境。
48. C考查词组辨析。A.occur to sb某人突然想起；B.take to开始喜欢；C.appeal to有吸引力，引起兴趣；D.hold to抓住。老师让Gabriel找一件自己喜欢的乐器。
49. B考查名词辨析和上下文串联。A.change改变，零钱；B.chance机会，可能性；C.mission任务；D.function功能。Gabriel准备试一下大提琴。给大提琴一次机会，即尝试拉一下大提琴，其余不符合语境。
50. C考查上下文串联。根据But可知，前后是转折关系，下句说Gabriel发现自己很喜欢大提琴，说明前一句是说他只是随便拉一下。
51. A考查固定搭配和上下文串联。be committed to sth/ doing sth致力于；be used to doing sth某人习惯于做
某事；be limited to被限制在；be admitted to被录取，允许进入某地。根据“so that within a couple of months
he was playing reasonably well”可知，花了几个月的时间练习之后，Gabriel的大提琴已经拉得非常好了。
52. D考查上下文串联。本段与第一段呼应。学习音乐意味着早到学校，要把沉重的乐器背来背去，meant在此意为“意味着”，构成句型It/This means that这就意味着。
53. B考查上下文串联。开始学习音乐之后，Gabriel不得不拖着沉重的乐器早早地到学校练习拉琴。drag指吃力地拖、拉某物，符合语境。
54. B考查上下文串联。根据“non-musicians”可知，这里指不学音乐的学生的表情，根据第一段可知，不学音乐的学生对学音乐的投去同情的目光，故选pitying。

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了76岁的Paul Wilson八年来免费接送低收入的学生上学的感人事迹。
11.C
根据第一段可知，Paul Wilson确保低收入的学生按时到达 上分享了这个故事之后，作者收到了某个人的来信，这个人确认了那位女士是Erin Smith。C选项(identify)切题：确认，认出，识别。
23.
找到了那位拾金不昧的女士，作者当然要“马上，毫不耽搁地”打电话去感谢对方。A选项（delay）切题：耽搁，延迟。
24.
作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上，Erin是在一个座位上发现了它。该空表示“发现”，故选D选项(spot)：发现，认出。
25.
根据文章最后一段中的“a bitterly cold night”可知，这件事发生在一个寒冷的晚上。同时，Erin又不认识作者。由此推知，该句应指：Erin估计去一个陌生人的家是一个冒险的举动。C选项（calculate）正确：估算，估计，预料。
26.
根据下文中的转折词but可知，该句和she decided to take the chance（她决定冒险）是转折关系。那么该句应指去一个陌生人家是一个冒险的举动。故B选项（risky）正确：冒险的。
27.
该句叙述的是Erin当时的想法：“如果我处在那种情况下（指丢了钱包这种情形），我希望有个人努力地找到我”。该空表示“情况，情形”，故选C选项（situation）：情况，情形。
28.
作者丢了钱包，对于作者来说，这是一个“危机，危难时刻”。故选A选项（crisis）：危机，危难时刻。
29.
Erin捡到了作者的钱包，在归还作者之前，钱包在Erin的手里，Erin暂时“拥有，占有”作者的钱包。故D选项正确。take possession of意为“拥有，占有”。
30.
Erin把作者的驾照图片发到一个论坛里，想看看是否有人认识作者。该空表示“是否”，故选A选项（if）：是否。
31.
根据后面的转折词but可知，该句和后面一句（她们想帮忙）转折关系，由此推知，该句指：除了闲聊，作者和那两位妈妈从来没有说过话，即：从未和她们“交换过词语”。B选项（exchange）正确：交换，互换。
32.
作者曾经读到这样的说法：人们比以往更加四分五裂，即：人们不像以前那样团结，不像以前那样互相帮助了。但是，作者遇到的这些人的行为方式不是那样的。上文中提到的Erin，two moms都是作者遇到的人。故A选项（encounter）正确：偶遇，遇到，邂逅。
33.
回顾发生的这件事，作者感到很幸运：有人想帮助一个陌生人。C选项（look back）正确：回顾，追忆。
34.
根据倒数第二段中提到的“people are more divided”可以推知，一般人在捡到别人的钱包后，都不会像Erin那样亲自归还失主。因此该句指：Erin的所作所为远远超越了其他人的行为。该空表示“超过，超越”，故选D选项（beyond）：超过，超越。
35.
Erin在寒冷的黑夜亲自登门归还作者的钱包，作者对此非常感激。D选项（grateful）正确：感激的。
