Mary had her own special kind of joy. and she knew exactly how to spread it around. She lifted children from 1 into laughter，love，and belonging.
Each time she found a new 2 for a child，she gave the family one of her little homemade paper roses. It had become a 3 for her,and the families didn’t’ever forget it．
One evening，Mary was 4 a meeting for adoptive parents．0ne of the 5 fathers stood up to introduce himself. But before he spoke,he reached into his coat pocket and held up a 6 ，red paper rose.
“Twenty years ago today, I felt alone and 7 .I didn’t know the talents inside me or what was possible for me.
Then Mary 8 two wonderful people into my life. They taught me what it was like to feel 9 .They not only loved me 10.They opened a world of 11 that I didn’t know existed．My new parents told me，‘Reach for your dreams!’
I did, and today I’m 12 to be giving that chance to a child who 13 just like me. My mother gave me this little rose. By now，all of you 14 where she got it so long ago.
Mary sent me a new rose just yesterday. And my new rose 15 a new spring，a beautiful new 1 6 for my own little girl. It 1 7 me to show her what unconditional love is，and to teach her to reach for her own beautiful dreams.

解析
一朵小小的由纸折叠的玫瑰花，把许多有意义的事情联系
到了一起，使世间一种无条件的爱得以传递和发扬，使众多绝
望孤独的孩子摆脱孤独，获得希望……
1．A．poverty B．10neliness C．misery D．suffering
剖析：名词辨析。由下文主要人物的谈话可以看出，玛丽一
直从事的事业就是通过为那些没有人爱的孩子找到新家的
方式，让他们拥有父母，获得爱和希望，也就是让他们摆脱孤
独(10neliness)，而不是poverty贫穷，misery不幸，suffering
痛苦。
2．A．home B．place C．school D．1ife
剖析：名词辨析。由后面的the family以及下一段的for
adoptive parents(养父母)可以看出．她是在为无家可归的孤
儿找一个新的家．所以应选home。
3．A．glory B．favor C．habit D．tradition
剖析：名词辨析。由语境可知．这些年来．玛丽每一次为孤儿
找到一个新家的时候都要送给那家人一朵纸做的玫瑰花。
所以要用tradition意思是“惯例”．指因长久奉行而形成的习
惯做法。glor5，“光荣”；favor“喜爱”；habit“习惯”，只用于表示个人习惯，强调习·赁成自然。
4．A. organizing B. planning C. hosting D. attending
剖析：动词辨析。由语境可知．这里指的是她正在主持(host)
一个想收养孩子的父母参加的会议。干扰项attend一般指
参加会议，通常不在组织会议中发挥作用。
5．A．new B．grateful C．kind D．active
剖析：形容词辨析。这是为孤儿找新家的会议，所以这些父
母就是刚刚收养孩子的，因此应选new(新的)。
6．A．broken B．faded C．treasured D．dried
剖析：形容词辨析。由14空后的SO long ago，可知应选faded
“褪色的，(花)凋谢了的”。句意为：他把手伸进衣兜，拿出了
一朵褪色的红色的纸玫瑰花。
7．A．tasteless B．powerless C．priceless D．worthless
剖析：形容词辩析。worthless意为“没有价值的，没有用的”；
由下文的“I didn’t know the talents inside me”可知。他当时
流浪街头时．认为自己没用，认识不到自己的价值。priceless
意为“无价的，贵重的”，与表达的意思正好相反；powerless
“无力的”；tasteless“没味道的”。
8．A．directed B．introduced C．brought D．accepted
剖析：动词辨析。句意为：然后玛丽把两个好人带进了
(bring…into)我的生活。也就是说，他当年也是一个孤儿．
是玛丽为他找到了养父母。注意introduce和into连用。表示
引进，而不是介绍。
9．A．10ved B．protected C．cared D．cheered
剖析：动词辨析。由下文的They not only loved me…可知。
1 0．A. silently B. continuously
C．unintentionally D．unconditionally
剖析：副词辨析。由上文的“wonderful people”可以看出，他
的养父母对他的爱应是无条件的(unconditionally)。silently
“沉默地”；continuously“持续地”；unintentionally“非故意地、
非存心地”。
1 1．A．necessities B.possibilities C. beauties D．riches
剖析：名词辨析。由上文7空后的“I didn’t know…what
was possible for me”可以推出，这里要表达的意思是：我的
养父母用鼓励我的方式(“Reach for your dreams”)为我敞开
了一个“我”以前不知道存在的“我”潜力无穷的世界。
possibilities发展前途，潜在价值。
1 2．A．eager B．willing C．proud D．1ucky
剖析：形容词辨析。由上文的描述可以看出，他认为收养一
个孩子，用无条件的爱鼓励他成为一个有价值的人是很伟
大的。所以得到这个机会他感到很自豪(proud)。
13．A．started out B．came up C．turned out D．grew up
剖析：动词短语辨析。a child who started out(开始)just like
me意思是：开始和我一样的(是个没人疼爱的)孤儿。come
up“出现”；turn out“结果是”；grow up“长大”，都不符合
语境。
1 4．A．understand B．guess C．tell D．know
剖析：动词辨析。句意为：大家都知道(know)了很久以前．
我妈妈是从哪里得到这朵玫瑰花的。
1 5．A．replaces B．symbolizes C．equals D．creates
剖析：动词辨析。作者认为玛丽送给他的这朵玫瑰花象征
着(symbolize)一个美丽的春天．自己收养的一个女孩的新
生活的开端(beginning)。因为当年自己就是这样开始美好
的生活的。
1 6．A．chance B．mystery C．challenge D．beginning
剖析：名词辨析。见15题答案剖析。
1 7．A．reminds B．helps C．accompanies D．drives
剖析：动词辨析。remind sb．to do sth．使某人想起。前文提
到·我的养父母给了我无条件的爱，这朵玫瑰花提醒我要和
他们一样给我收养的小女孩提供无条件的爱。
18．A．fix B．close C．tie D．gather
剖析：动词辨析。tie…together把……连接在一起。句意
为：玛丽。谢谢您，因为您送的玫瑰花把我们的生活连接在
了一起。文章最后一句也有暗示。
19．A．cause B．push C．put D．1cave
剖析：动词辨析。leave sb．in quiet．使某人处于安静状态。
20．A．Yet B．Besides C．Otherwise D．Therefore
剖析：连词辨析。该句和上文是转折关系。所以要用yet意
思是“可是．却，然而”。句意为：一个简单的事情可以使我
们的精神飞扬或使我们安静下来考虑一个新的开端。然而
像玛丽的玫瑰花一样的小东西，也可以把有意义的东西连
接在一起。 |

A few days ago, I got a letter from a student. In his letter, he told me, “I have this friend at school. She’s one of my good friends but lately she has been ___36__ strange. When I talked to her the other day, she said coldly, ‘Do I look like I care?’ She was being all strange to me.

Or, on the day you talked to her, she could have been having a bad day and didn’t realize she was very cold to you. I could list a few more __41__for you, but you know, __42__, the only person who knows why your friend reacted that way is your friend. My__43__ to you is to tell her how you feel. Let her know she hurt your feelings and ask why on some days she’s nice to you, and on other days she isn’t __44__ nice. It could be that your friend is making some other new friends at school and is having difficulty __45___ her old relationships. Whatever her reasons are, you should let her know that you are a unique, caring person who certainly deserves a good friendship at school, _46__ you wouldn’t have taken the time to write me. If your __47__ with this person fades a bit, it’s OK, because you will develop may other friendships.
36. A. proving B. thinking C. showing D. acting
37. A. before B. if C. until D. in case

Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers, I had, without telling anyone, tried to 36 my studies in literature at evening classes.

They wanted to know if I was 54 , and if I knew what it meant and 55 I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me, and they asked about the matter no further.
