5．There is no success without ______（努力）.

【答案】

1．kindness    2．mistakes    3．disappointed    4．woke up    5．effort

【解析】

1．句意：你应该为他的好心向他表示感谢。根据句意和所给单词的汉语意思可知，这里考查kindness“善良，好心”，空前是形容词性物主代词his，故应填名词kindness。

2．句意：我的一些错是非常滑稽可笑的。根据句意和汉语意思可知，这里考查名词mistake。空前有some修饰，且be动词are用于主语是复数时，故这里应填名词复数mistakes。

3．句意：当我听到这个坏消息时，我是很失望的。根据句意可知，这里表示：“某人感到失望的”，应用形容词disappointed，在句中作表语。

4．句意：当我醒来的时候，我发现在我的床上有一个礼物。根据句意可知，这里考查wake up这一固定短语，意为“醒来”，根据主句中I found a gift可知，该句表示过去的事情，使用了一般过去时态，故这里填过去式woke up。

5．句意：没有努力就没有成功。根据句意和单词的汉语意思可知，这里考查effort，意为“努力”，是一个名词。

7．句意：请把这本书给我。句中谓语动词为give，意为“给”，常用于短语give sth. to sb.把某物给某人。故这里填to。

8．句意：他们没有嘲笑你。根据句意可知，这里考查的是固定短语laugh at…意为“嘲笑某人”，故这里填at。

9．句意：在我的床边，我发现了一个美丽的手提包。空后bedside意为“床边”，常和介词at搭配，表示具体的小地点。故填at。

【分析】这则小故事讲了圣诞节临近但David却丢失了班级的名单，写卡片时忘记同学姓名，妈妈帮助指导他最后终于靠自己努力把同学名字包括自己的名字全部想起来的故事。

11．句意：他打开了包朝里面看了看。A.外面B.里面C.下面D.上面，打开书包后肯定是朝里面看看，故选B    

12．句意：Ross女士给了我们一份我们全班人员的清单。A.清单B.笔记C.书D.账单。从后面的I don t have my list得知这里他是在找清单，故选 A    

13．句意：把每件东西都拿出来我们一起看看。A.某物B.每件东西；一切C.更多D.更少。这里是妈妈的建议，从后面看出他们把书包里的书都倒出来了，所以这里的建议是把每件东西都倒出来，故选 B

15．句意：不要如此轻易地放弃。A.上车B.下车C.放弃D.送回，这里是妈妈的鼓励，故选C   

16．句意：我不会把他们都记住的。A.记得B.理解C.接受D.相信，这是David的回答，他是回忆不起所有的同学的名字的，故选A    

17．句意：她写下了他们的名字。A.规则B.数字C.名字D.地址，这里是在妈妈问完David经常玩耍的朋友后写下的东西 ，应该是他们的名字，故选 C    

18．句意：David尽力记起他的教室的样子以及谁坐在那里。A.卧室B.书房C.学校D.教室，这里是在回忆他的教室及其人员布局，故选D

21．句意：可能你会在你写的时候想起那个遗忘的名字。A.忘记的B.有趣的C.普通的D.奇怪的，这时只有16张卡片，所以还有一个遗忘的名字，妈妈劝他边写边想，故选A。

23．句意：谁是忘掉的那个呢？A.什么B.谁的C.哪一个D.谁，这里是他内心的思考，在想是“谁”被忘记了，故选 D

点睛：本篇完形填空的第9题是关于人数的计算，第一次遇到本题可能会去直接到前文中寻找已经完成了多少个人名的回忆和书写，但是发现怎么找也数不到四个选项中的人数，这个时候说明之前采取的策略有误，完形填空的答案一定是有依据的，这说明之前的依据有错，这是再进行仔细寻找，发现了Who had he missed?这句话，这就说明一定是忘了谁，然后再结合文章末尾，发现忘记的是自己，所以那时应该是只有16个人的名字，答案就能出来了。这说明完形填空需要结合文章意义，不能无中生有。

四、阅读单选

Mycoskie started the first of many companies at the age of 18 as a young man."But it wasn't until I started TOMS that I felt like I had my calling," he says. The shoe company, founded in 2006, uses a One to One business model that gives away a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair that a customer buys.

Why are you encouraging people to go "one day without shoes" today?

A lot of people asked, why shoes? People who try going one day without shoes could know what the experience is like. Their feet would be tired and painful after a day without shoes. We find this is a really great way for people to understand millions of people around the world who go barefoot every day.

Do you have any advice for urban people who want to join but are worried about riding the subway shoeless?

You don't have to go shoeless all day long. Wear your shoes to work, or to school or to wherever you' re going, and when you get there you can join inside. You can just walk around your office barefoot, because that's going to get just as many people asking about it, which is the whole purpose.

Why did you choose to found TOMS a for-profit （盈利的）business instead of a charity?

A charity is really dependent on donations, and sometimes donors don't always show up. But as a business，there's a lot more stability（稳定性）, especially if you build a successful business.

26．Which of the following statements is TURE?

A．TOMS is Mycoskie's first company. B．TOMS gives shoes to customers for free.

C．TOMS was founded to sell shoes. D．TOMS was set up when eighteen.

27．By saying "I had my calling" (in Paragraph 1), Mycoskie means that       .

A．his long-time dream finally came true B．he received support from his friends

C．he found what he really wanted to do D．TOMS would become successful soon

28．We can learn from the passage that Mycoskie is a(n)        person.

A．brave B．honest C．talented D．kind

29．What is the purpose of writing this passage?

A．To share this story with us. B．To introduce Mycoskie to us.

C．To play a big joke on others. D．To amaze people in the city.

【答案】

26．C    27．C    28．D    29．A

【分析】

这篇短文讲述了Mycoskie建立的一家鞋业公司，该公司采用一对一的商业模式，顾客每买一双鞋，就要捐赠给有需要的孩子一双。短文采用问答的方式，让我们对Mycoskie的这一做法有了更多的了解。

26．细节理解题。根据短文第一段的内容Mycoskie started the first of many companies at the age of 18 as a young man. "But it wasn't until I started TOMS that I felt like I had my calling," he says. The shoe company, founded in 2006, uses a One to One business model that gives away a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair that a customer buys.可知，TOMS是一个鞋业公司，故C选项是正确的。同时也可以排除其他选项。

27．推理判断题。根据短文第一段Mycoskie started the first of many companies at the age of 18 as a young man."But it wasn't until I started TOMS that I felt like I had my calling," he says.以及文意可知，Mycoskie在18岁的时候就开办了第一家公司，但是文章中主要介绍的TOMS这个公司可以帮助有需要的人，这才是Mycoskie真正想要做的事情。故应选C。

28．推理判断题。根据文意和短文第一段The shoe company, founded in 2006, uses a One to One business model that gives away a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair that a customer buys可知，Mycoskie创立的TOMS公司，可以帮助有需要的孩子们，由此可见，他是一个很善良的人。故应选D。

29．推理判断题。根据文意可知，这篇短文给我们介绍了Mycoskie创立的鞋业公司TOMS，采用一对一的商业模式，顾客每买一双鞋，该公司就给有需要的孩子捐一双鞋，并利用问答的形式，对该项目有了更多的了解。由此可知，文章的主要目的是给我们分享这个事情，故应选A。

【点睛】这篇短文是一篇记叙文，短文中介绍了由Mycoskie创办的TOMS公司，采用一对一的商业模式，顾客每买一双鞋，该公司就给有需要的孩子捐一双鞋。文章叙述清楚，结构清晰，比较容易理解。题目设置有细节理解题和推理判断题，细节题考查学生们对文章事实信息的理解，答案常可以直接在原文找到。例如第1小题，主要涉及文章第一段的内容，根据The shoe company, founded in 2006, uses a One to One business model that gives away a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair that a customer buys.可知，TOMS是一个鞋业公司，故应选C。推理题考查学生们更加文章事实信息，进行合理的推测和判断的能力，难度稍大。做题时，应仔细阅读短文，理清上下文的逻辑关系，结合选项作答。例如第3小题，根据文意和短文第一段The shoe company, founded in 2006, uses a One to One business model that gives away a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair that a customer buys可知，Mycoskie创立的TOMS公司，可以帮助有需要的孩子们，由此可见，他是一个很善良的人。故应选D。
