Finally the wise man explained, “When two people are angry at each other, there is a distance between their ___34 . To cover that distance they must shout to be able to 35 each other.

The wise man 39 , “When they love each other even more, they do not _40 loudly , but only whisper私语and they get even closer to each other. Finally they 41 need not whisper. They only look at each other and that’s 42 . That’s how close people are when they love each other.”

解析
试题分析：一位智者通过看到的一件小事来教育弟子们，告诉他们一个道理：在人们交往过程中，甚至在争论时，都不要说伤害人的话，不要让心与心之间产生距离，否则会因跨越不了这种距离而疏远，甚至会反目成仇。
小题1:名词辨析。A 屋顶；B 站台；C 河岸，银行；D 街道。文章第一句话告诉我们智者在河里洗澡，所以看到的应该是岸上的人，所以正确答案为C。
小题2:动词短语辨析。A 提及，涉及；B 照料； C 向某人喊；D 转向。从下文智者的动作：smiled和 asked 可知，他应该是转向弟子们说话。所以D选项正确。
小题3:名词辨析。A 生气；B 兴奋；C 失望； D 惊讶。从前句中的 angrily 可知，他们应该是愤怒地朝彼此大嚷大叫。A选项正确。
小题4:动词辨析。A 想，认为；B 放松；C 听；D 等待。智者问了他们一个问题，从情理推断可知弟子们应该是想了一会，然后才回答，所以A选项正确。
小题5:动词辨析。A 控制，B打扰，扰乱；C 失去，输；D 欣赏，喜欢。按照常理，人们在头脑发热不冷静的情况下才会争吵，所以弟子认为是人们失去冷静而争吵。所以C 选项正确。
小题6:连词辨析。A 只要；B 万一； C 当。。时候；D 除非。从语境判断是指说话的场景，当对方离我们很近的时候，所以正确选项为C。
小题7:形容词辨析。A和气的，柔软的；B 印象深刻的；C 虚弱的，软弱的D负责任的；从上文angry ，in anger 等词判断，此处应该是意义相对的词，所以选A。
小题8:动词辨析。A 鼓励； B 使某人满意；C 招待，款待，助兴；D 打扰，麻烦。此处的but 表示前后句意的转折，前句弟子们给出不同的回答，所以后面的转折应该表达哪个回答都不能使彼此满意。故B
选项正确。
小题9:名词辨析。A 方向，操作指南；B 身体，尸体；C 目标；D 心脏。从下文their hearts are …The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small.”判断此处是指人们吵架时心的距离远了，所以正确
选项为D。
小题10:动词辨析。A 伤害，疼；B 进攻，攻击；C 理解；D 听，听说。从前面的动词 shout 判断喊的目的是为了让别人听到，所以D选项正确。
小题11:动词辨析。A 保持；B 测量；C 掩盖，涉及，支付，占地，走过。。路程；D缩短。从词义搭配上只有cover 能和 distance 搭配，意思为“走多远的距离”。此处是指声音要穿过心与心之间的距离，所以C选项正确。
小题12:动词辨析。A 有关系，要紧； B 发生；C 工作；D 成功。上文是说心灵疏远的人们之间会发生争吵，那么当人们相爱时候会有什么发生呢？所以从语境判断，应该选B选项。
小题13:形容词辨析。A 密切的，近的；B巨大的；C 特殊的，特价的；D 敞开的，开放的。The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small.”他们心灵之间的距离要么不存在要么很小，从情理可知心灵间没有距离的人们关系自然也是密切的，故A为正确选项。
小题14:动词辨析。A 怀疑；B 继续；C 回答；D 承诺，答应。上文智者说了一席话，下面还是他说的话，所以应该是他继续说道。正确答案选B。
小题15:动词辨析。A 经过，递给；B 大喊，哭；C 在乎； D 谈话，演讲。从上文可知当人们相爱的时候，他们轻声交谈，那么爱加深了的时候，就不再是谈话而是耳语，故正确答案为D。
小题16:副词辨析。A 有时； B仍然；C 甚至；D 曾经。在此表示情况的进一步深入，从轻声交谈到耳语，到不需要语言的交流，所以C选项正确。他们甚至不用说话。
小题17:不定代词辨析。A 没有什么； B 全部； C 一个；D 某物。从上文可知，他们甚至不用语言的交流，一个眼神就能彼此心意相通，所以彼此的对视就是所做的一切，故B选项正确。
小题18:动词辨析。A. 争吵，争论； B. 道歉；C.批评；D. 解释。从下文的两个否定祈使句“do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more.”判断，语境应该是在人们关系不好或者是争论的时候，所以A选项正确。
小题19:连接词辨析。A 更为糟糕的是；B 因此；C 否则；D 此外。前面两个否定祈使句告诫我们不要做什么，而且后面句子是指出了一种结果，所以中间用or，表示不听从警告会引发的结果，故C选项正确。
小题20:动词辨析。A 打败，打，心脏跳动；B 跟随；C 走路；D 回去，归还。从上下文可知，人们甚至会因为心灵间产生的距离而成为敌人，所以是再也回不到从前那种亲密状态。所以D选项正确。 |
举一反三
Renata Di Pietro was studying to be an opera singer. But at 23, while on a music scholarship at the University of Iowa in 1976, her sight began to fail. Soon, it became increasingly difficult to read scores and pick up hand signals from conductors, and the gifted singer was forced to drop out.
After moving to Cleveland, Georgia in 2005, Di Pietro relied on guide dogs to get around. Over the years, she became depressed when she’d lose one of the dogs, who had become her best friend, to old age or death. “It’s very painful, because you love each one,” she says.
In 2009, Di Pietro was intrigued by information from a friend that miniature horses typically live for at least 30 years and make calm and strong guides. She started with a male horse, but he was too hard to control. Angel came next, a mini white female horse Di Pietro has mostly trained herself. “Horses have the ability to avoid the things in the way,” she says. “If I am about to run into something, she slides her body in front of me.”
Di Pietro, now 59, has taught her guide horse to make some sounds with her hoof (马蹄)when she comes to stairs. “Angel can find a chair and locate the nearest door for me,” Di Pietro says. Currently, she’s training Angel to pull her wheelchair and to fetch.
Despite her disability, Di Pietro still sings, performing with her husband, musician Carl Hummer, at special events. Angel is always by her side. “I fight a battle every day to take courage to engage the world,” Di Pietro says. “Angel is my warhorse. We fight that battle together.”
小题1:Why did Di Pietro have to give up her studying in the university?| A．She disliked her major in music. | | B．She failed to get high scores. | | C．She couldn’t understand hand signals from conductors. | | D．She found it difficult to see things clearly. |
小题2:What does the underlined word “intrigued” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?| A．Puzzled. | B．Interested. | C．Satisfied. | D．Frightened. |
小题3:Angel can do a lot of things for Di Pietro now EXCEPT_________.| A．supporting her in case of her falling | | B．helping her find a chair to sit on | | C．keeping her company every day | | D．fighting with her against others |
小题4:Which of the following can best describe the author?| A．Caring and strong-minded. | B．Honest and responsible. | | C．Kind and helpful. | D．Ambitious and sensitive. |

A long time ago, there was an emperor(皇帝).

He 29 riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. Even when he was 30 or tired, he did not stop 31 he wanted to cover as much area as possible.

Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a 36 this summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a 37. One of her colleagues needed a full-time 38 . “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to 39 to Nick instead?” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a 40 child.
Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centres would not 41 him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium（平衡）problems.He couldn’t 42 or run properly. I was 43 if I was to take the job when my mother 44 , “Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the 45 .”
Then I told her I was 46 for the job.
The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little 47 , he was quite a mix.
At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy’s face 48 up—How he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be 49 to get a child to go down a slide. Believe me, it wasn’t! It took him a lot of time. But with patience and support. Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his 50 and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.
Halfway through the summer, he 51 it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his 52 . After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big 53 and asked, “May I go down again alone?”
I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children 54 for granted.
This 55 child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.

I pulled into the driveway of my Mum’s house and saw my two-year-old daughter’s smiling face staring out the window at me. Vanessa had stayed with her grandma for a week, while her mommy, Georgia ,was in hospital 36 complications(并发症) in her second pregnancy. Vanessa, who missed her room and toys, 37 awaited the arrival of daddy to pick her up and take her to see her mother. After the visit we’d go home where I had a surprise for her.
Vanessa and I spent an hour with Georgia and then 38 home.
I got Vanessa out of her snowsuit, 39 on the sofa and sat beside her. “Vanessa, you know you’re going to have a new brother or sister soon.”
“I know, Daddy. Mommy’s bringing it home with her.”
“That’s right .”I smiled. “well, the baby is going to need a 40 to sleep in. I hope you don’t mind, but I put your cradle in the new baby’s room.”
“Where will I sleep, Daddy?”
“ Follow me.” I led her down the hall to her room. “I have a 41 for you.”
When Vanessa turned the corner and screamed with pleasure. “It’s a bed ,Daddy! My very own bed!” She 42 up and down on the mattress with 43 happiness on her face.
“ I guess this means I’m growing up,” said Vanessa.
First beds are first milestones. For the first time we are free to get out of bed without 44 someone lift us from our cradles. We are trusted to handle the freedom with respect and are expected to 45 new rules. First days of school, first loves, firsts jobs，first homes or apartments, first child；they’re all 46 in life. Each comes with 47 and responsibilities and it all starts with the first bed..
