On one special day. we were heading home. and again I was praying for the   sound of his offer. It    . "Would you like an ice cream today?" "That sounds great, Dad!" But then he said, "How would you like to      today?"
Twenty cents! My mind reeled(震惊). I could afford it. I got a weekly allowance of 25 cents. plus some      for odd jobs. But      it was my money, ice cream wasn"t a good use of it. In a fit of      , I said, "Well, in that case. I guess I"ll     ." My father just said, "Okay, Son."

试题分析：文章讲述了作者和爸爸经常在回家的路上买冰淇淋吃的故事。有一次，爸爸想让作者请客，但作者舍不得花20美分买冰淇淋，就拒绝了请客。对此，爸爸没有在意，作者却十分后悔。后来，又有一次旅行，作者下定决心要请爸爸吃冰淇淋。
小题1:根据文章上句中的often 和第二段开头一句中的again可知，我们常停下来买冰淇淋。Frequently经常，故选C。
小题2:根据文章文意可知，我作为孩子，渴望得到冰淇淋。Aexpect意为“（心理上的）期待、渴望”。Cwait为不及物动词，意思、语法上均不正确，其它选项意思不符。故选A。
小题3:根据上下文可知，从我们开始往家赶的“那一刻”，我就开始祈祷，希望能得到，故选D。
小题4:根据上文“go straight for the ice cream or…”和下文“go home empty-handed”可知，我们或者直接去买冰淇淋，或者空手而回。Cturn意为“转弯、掉头”，符合文意。故选C。
小题5:根据文章上下文和常识可知，在这里，我可以得到美味的冰淇淋，所以，这个拐角意味着(meant) 快乐或失望。故选B。
小题6:。根据 “mouth-watering excitement”和文意，得到冰淇淋我会快乐，否则就是失望。Disappointment失望，故选D。
小题7:根据文意，我希望听到父亲主动提出买冰淇淋，对一个孩子来说，这样的声音是“beautiful”（美好的），故选D最佳，其它选项意思不符。
小题8:根据文章上文，我期盼的声音终于来了（came），B项最佳。C项spoke的主语应该是人，而其它两项不符合文意。故选A。
小题9:根据文章结尾处“treat”，父亲这次让我“出钱请客”。注意Cbuy不正确，因为，我可以买冰淇淋，但不一定我出钱。其它两项意思不符。故选B。
小题10:根据文意和“plus”可知，我每个星期除了得到25美分，而且干零活得到“额外”的钱，故选A。
小题11:根据文意，我虽然有足够的钱，但当（when）让我拿来买冰淇淋时，我就舍不得。故选C。
小题12:根据下文可以推知，我出于自私（selfishness）而放弃了请客吃冰淇淋的念头，故选D。
小题13:根据文意，我既然不愿请客吃冰淇淋，就只好放弃了。注意pass在此意思是“免掉，不要”。故选C。
小题14:上文提到I realized how wrong I was，所以我后悔自己的自私，从而央求父亲掉转车头（turn back），故选A。
小题15:根据上文父亲的回答可知，他实际上委婉的拒绝了我的恳求，所以我感到awful（懊恼的、糟糕的），故选B。
小题16:根据文意，父亲对我的行为并不介意，甚至（even）没表现出失望。故选A。
小题17:根据文意，我从此事认识到慷慨是双向的。B learned意思是“认识到、意识到，从......得到教训”，为最佳选项。故选B。
小题18:根据文意可推知，我在想：如果我当时请客吃了冰淇淋，将是对父亲多年来的回报，也将是我所吃到的最好的冰淇淋。其它选项不符合文意。故选D。
小题19:考查固定短语。go on a trip为固定词组，“去旅行”。故选C。
小题20:根据上文可知，我已经做错了一次。当再次出游时，到拐角处时，我就主动提出请客，approach符合文意。故选D。
举一反三
My childhood and adolescence were a joyous outpouring of energy, an endless pursuit for expression, skill, and experience.        was only a background to the great delight of lessons in music, dance, and dramatics.
Then one night at a high school dance, a remark, not intended for my       , injured my youthful happiness: “That girl, what a pity she is blind.” Blind! A(n)        word that implied everything dark, blank and helpless.       I turned and called out, “Please don’t feel sorry for me, I’m having lots of fun.”      the fun was not to last.
In college years, I began to struggle with the problem of earning a living. Part-time teaching of piano and occasional giving concerts proved only        sources of economic support. In terms of time and effort involved, the financial return was       . Self-doubt and dark moods sparked within me.        to my misery was the repeated experience of knowing my sisters and friends dating excitedly. How        I was to my piano,        I could dissolve my frustration, accompanied by Chopin, Brahms, and Beethoven.
Then one day, I met a girl, an army nurse, whose faith was to change my life. As our acquaintance        into friendship, she sensed my       . She said, “Stop knocking on closed doors. I know your opportunity will come. You’re trying too hard. Why don’t you relax? And have you ever tried       ?” The idea was strange to me. I had always believed that if you wanted        , you had to go and get it for yourself. Yet, my sincerity and hard work had yielded poor returns, so I was       to try anything else. Self-consciously, I performed the daily practice of prayer. I said, “God, show me the        for which You sent me to this world.
In the years to follow, the answers began to arrive, satisfying        my most optimistic expectation. One of the answers was Enchanted Hills, where my        friend and I had the privilege of seeing blind children come alive in God’s out-of-doors.        are the sources of pleasure and comfort I have found in friendship, and most important of all, I        closer to God and, through Him, to immortality (永生).

The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn’t seen for many years. I couldn’t believe the change in him. As a matter of fact, he didn’t even seem like the    person.
When I first knew Bill, back in    , he was one of the most carefree(无忧无虑的) people I had ever    . He was always ready to have a   . He usually went out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or drove 50 miles to see an old    he really liked. Bill and I were in the same class in college, and    was never dull when he was    .

Back when we were in college, the   thing Bill cared about was possessions. Now they seemed to be his main  . Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow, I never    Bill changing so much. My image of him    the one I had formed    the time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’s    to expect people to remain the same, especially    I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he    the same way about me.
