On this day I learned the true lesson of        and witnessed the only        I had ever seen . I was in the kitchen when I saw my son, Billy,        toward the woods. He was walking with effort, trying to be as        as possible . Minutes after he        into the woods, he came running back . I went back to make sandwiches ,        that whatever he had been doing was completed. Moments later,        , he was once again walking slowly toward the woods. This activity went on for an hour .        I couldn’t help following him and saw the most amazing        .
Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them . I almost        for him to get away . A huge deer was        close .        the deer didn’t even move as Billy knelt down. I saw a tiny deer lying on the ground , obviously suffering from        , lift its head to lap up the water cupped in Billy’s hands. When the water was        , Billy ran back to get more .

I stood on the edge of the woods, watching the        boy working so hard to save another life. As my tears began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops.

试题分析:文章大意:极度干旱的季节,农田里的庄稼几乎就要干旱而死。在这个季节最炎热的一天,作者的儿子比利不顾炎热,一次次从家里取来水去拯救一只因干渴而即将死亡的小鹿。儿子的行为感动了作者,似乎也感动了老天,天终于下雨了,庄稼也有救了。
小题1:解析:从前面的the hottest days of the dry season可知,一个月没有下雨了。
小题2:解析:每天,我和我丈夫忙着浇地。go about 着手做,忙于某事;take over接管;try on试穿;seek out找出。
小题3:解析:除非我们看到下雨,否则我们就会失去一切。unless“除非”。
小题4:解析:从后文中儿子为小鹿送水,和小鹿一起分享水源,可以推测出用sharing。
小题5:解析:miracle“奇迹”;lesson“教训”;wildlife“野生动物”;virtue“美德”。从后文可知儿子用一点点的水救活了小鹿,并且天也下了雨,故是个奇迹。
小题6:解析:从后文的He was walking with effort可知,这里是他向树林走去。
小题7:解析:从后文知,这里他费力地走着,尽量身体不动。从后文可知,儿子去树林时,手里拿着水,因此走起来很小心,怕把水弄洒了。still“不动的”;silent“沉默的”;secret“秘密的”;sacred“神圣的”。
小题8:解析:前面说他向树林走去。这里说,几分钟后,他消失在树林里。
小题9:解析:前文说,儿子消失在树林里,又跑了回来,下文又说“我”去做三明治,显然认为儿子的任务已经完成。think“认为”;wonder“想知道”;worry“担心”。calculate计算。
小题10:解析:这里上下文构成转折关系,原以为儿子的任务完成了,没想到他又回到了树林里。故用however。
小题11:解析:最后我禁不住要跟着他。finally“最后,终于”。
小题12:解析:sign“迹象,符号”;scenery“景色”;sight“视野,视力”;scene“场面,场景”。我忍不住跟踪他并且目睹了令人惊讶的一幕。
小题13:解析:scream“尖叫”;rush“奔跑”;burst“爆发”。我差点尖叫着喊他离开。
小题14:解析:mildly“温顺地”;powerfully“强大有力地”;dangerously“危险地”;aggressively “有攻击性的”。这里指一只大鹿距他近得很危险。
小题15:解析:前文看出作者的担心,这里表示转折,但是当Billy跪下时那只鹿一动也没动。
小题16:解析:前文提到天气干旱无雨,后文也提到给小鹿喝水。这里的意思是“我看见一只小鹿躺在地上,显然是渴坏了”。
小题17:解析:从Billy ran back to get more.可知,这里是水喝光了。gone“没有了,喝光了”。只有当表示“丢失了”这个意思时,gone才可以相当于lost, missing。
小题18:解析:作者明白了一切。
小题19:解析:作者看到了善良的儿子挽救了一个生命。
小题20:解析:当我感动的眼泪落在地上时,天突然下起了雨,好像上帝感动得哭了。那场雨救了我们的农场就像一个小男孩救了另一个生命。weep哭泣;chant咏唱。
举一反三
When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you ? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “ Your meal was already paid for .” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you .” It felt like an angel was saying “I see you, honey. It’s going to be okay.”
Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?
小题1:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.The kindness of strangers.B.Valuable friendship .
C.Two special experiences .D.Helping others is worthwhile
小题2:Why did the author suffer when dining out with a friend?
A.Because she didn’t like the dishes.
B.Because she quarreled with her friend
C.Because her friend only talked about himself.
D.Because she was sad for her last relationship.
小题3:The underlined expression in the passage means “______”.
A.being hurt by the wallB.winning the game
C.taking a deep breathD.running out of energy

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn"t work out, you"ll have something to rely on.” Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls. 
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom, “I don"t know how to use a computer,” she admits. 
Unlike her 1995 autobiography(自传), After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says. “I didn"t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we"re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.” 
But she hasn"t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up ---again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet. 
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, "why me?" about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn"t do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I"ve come to realize the importance of that as I"ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”
小题1:Why did Mary feel regretful? 
A.She didn"t achieve her ambition.
B.She didn"t take care of her mother.
C.She didn"t complete her high school.
D.She didn"t follow her mother"s advice.
小题2:We can know that before 1995, Mary __________.
A.had two books published
B.received many career awards
C.knew how to use a computer
D.supported the JDRF by writing
小题3:Mary"s second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her__________ . 
A.living with diabetesB.successful show business
C.service for an organizationD.remembrance of her mother
小题4:When Mary received the life-changing news, she_____________ . 
A.lost control of herself B.began a balanced diet
C.tried to get a treatment D.behaved in an adult way
小题5:What can we know from the last paragraph? 
A.Mary feels pity for herself.
B.Mary has recovered from her disease.
C.Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D.Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

“Grandmother made this?” I said,       . My grandmother was a        at making quilts. This didn"t certainly look like any of the quilts she had made.
“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home last year and made some       ,” she said. “I’m still working on it. See, this is        I’ve done so far.”
I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched a piece of cloth        those words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn"t get all line       . But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”
“Oh, this is so nice, mom,” I said. It        to me that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was        her own mother. I realized I held in my hands a family       . It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another,        two generations.

The 30-mile road that runs through the mountains of Willie Valley makes most drivers′ hands sweat. But Andersen, a 46-year-old father of four, wasn’t expecting any trouble on the road last New Year’s Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear Mountains with nine-year-old daughter Mia, four-old son Baylor, and nine-year-old neighbor Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Valley hundreds of times over the years.
The weather was fine. But the higher they drove, the more slippery the road became. Rounding a sharp U-turn, Andersen saw a heavy truck off the road and immediately hit his brakes. In a minute, the car was going at 25 miles per hour down the mountain before falling down from a ten-foot dam into the extremely cold Logan River.
The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the car was filled with water. “It was frightening that we were going fast into deep water,” remembers Andersen, a soft-spoken manager.
Having lost all sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldn’t find her. “I thought, if I don’t get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. That’s when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they rushed down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “Who else is in the car?”
Andersen says respectfully, “It was like the sight of angels.”

小题2: Andersen didn’t expect any trouble on the road because _____.

A.Andersen lost consciousness in the water.
B.Strangers helped Andersen out of the car.
C.Andersen liked Mia most among the children.
D.Strangers teamed together to save three children.
小题4:The underlined sentence is to express Andersen’s feeling of being _____.
