It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along 36 the song playing on the radio. I 37 at the intersection and looked both ways. The road was 38 . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came 39 at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car killing the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾驰) past my dead car 40 me by inches without even slowing down.
41 I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips, 42 after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me 43 . With a red face and a(an) 44 smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home.
Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain 45 words coming from my son’s bedroom. He was replaying the 46 over and over in his mind. Too 47 I realized the 48 of those words that had flown from my lips in that moment of 49 . It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the 50 of that incident.
That 51 , however, did teach me just how strong words 52 be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒骂) in my own life and to start using words that uplift and inspire instead. I slowly realized that language is a 53 from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned 54 that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a 55 spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light.

解析
试题分析：作者在自己的一次亲身经历中，无意中表露的恶劣态度和语言对孩子产生了不良的影响，由此意识到了语言的重要性和影响力。提醒人们要在生活中使用美好的语言给人带来愉快，使人振作，给人安慰；而不要恶语相加。
小题1:A介词辨析。A 随着，朝向；B 通过，凭借；C 通过；D在。。。上方。根据词的用法可知随着音乐唱歌或跳舞，应该使用介词to，故正确答案为A。
小题2:B动词辨析。A推动；B停车；C 张贴，搭建；D强迫。 从下文可知作者要转弯，根据常识可知作者应该是在十字路口停下车，去看道路交通状况，所以选B。句意：我在十字路口停下向道路两边看。
小题3:C形容词辨析。A干净的；B轻的；C无障碍的；D繁忙的。从上文的Traffic was light.判断此时马路上车辆稀少，应该是道路畅通无阻，所以作者才转弯，所以正确选项是C。
小题4:B副词辨析。A艰难地；B径直地；C遥远地；D高得。从作者的叙述不难想象当时非常危险，差点撞到作者的车子上，所以应该是径直就开了过来，故B选项正确。
小题5:B动词辨析。A离开；B错过；C敲；D 接近。从下文可知状况虽然危险但是没有发生意外，所以是没碰到作者的车上，所以应该是错过。B选项正确。
小题6:C连词辨析。A当。。。时候；B 在。。。之后；C 在。。。之前；D通向。从情理推断作者当时险些被撞，所以应该是气急败坏，不由自主的咒骂起来，故C选项正确。
小题7:A动词辨析。A追逐；B追求；C看；D 寻找。从上文The speeder zoomed (疾驰) 。。。without even slowing down. 可知肇事汽车疾驰而过，作者的咒骂只能是在司机身后，所以A选项正确。
小题8:B副词辨析。A及其，很坏地；B 天真无邪地；清白无辜地；C 勇敢地；D典型地。孩子是单纯，天真无邪的，而且由下文作者的叙述可知孩子受到影响回家后也学会了咒骂，所以此处填B。
小题9:B形容词辨析。A高兴的；B 尴尬的；C 惊讶的；D 担心的。根据With a red face和下文mistake一词的出现可知作者意识到在孩子面前犯了一个错误，对孩子产生了不好的影响，所以此处应该是尴尬的表现，故B选项正确。
小题10:B形容词辨析。A 严重的；B不愉快的；C 强有力的；D 极好的。从下文可知儿子在学作者的咒骂，所以应该用令人不快的话语，所以B选项正确。
小题11:D名词辨析。A音乐；B 故事；C 语言；D事件，事变。从情理可知作者险些被撞应该是不好的事件而且下文出现的to undo (消除)the 。。。of that incident.也是此空的提示，所以答案选 D。
小题12:D副词辨析。A 抱歉；B差得；C很快；D 迟到，晚。从上下文可知此时已经对孩子造成了不好的影响，所以作者现在意识到已经太迟了，故正确选项应该是D。
小题13:A名词辨析。A力量；B重要性；C 大自然；D潜力。从故事的叙述中我们可以知道这篇文章讲述的就是语言对于人的影响，而且how strong words 。。。 be.也是明显的提示，所以A选项正确。
小题14:C名词辨析。A恐惧，害怕；B 担心；C 生气；D 后悔。从上文可知作者当时差点被撞，当时是愤怒地咒骂，所以此处C选项正确。

小题18:C名词辨析。A 证据；B 捐赠；C 礼物；D 天赋。从上下文a few loving words can help a hurting heart,…lighten a heavy load.以及作者的写作意图可知，语言能对我们产生很大的影响，是上帝赐予我们的礼物，我们要好好利用，让我们的生活更加美好。
小题19:C副词辨析。A或者；B 否则；C 也；D 然而。从上句I slowly realized that language is 。。。作者意识到了。。。，此处又讲的是作者的感悟，所以C选项正确。
小题20:B形容词辨析。A有挑战性的；B 奋斗的，努力的；C 上升的；D 关心他人的。从语境可知美好的语言能激励一个人，抚慰一颗受伤的心灵，所以此处应该是与hurting，heavy等相似意义形容词，故B选项正确。 |
举一反三
For most people, graduation is an exciting day, but my graduation day was not.
I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to 36 the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the 37 turn from bad to worse in my senior year. Almost all of us graduates had degrees, but very uncertain 38 .
The weeks ahead weren’t 39 . I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, 40 I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a 41 dragged into two, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same 42 as I was before.
You know that feeling when you wake up in 43 ? That feeling became a constant in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months, and those many months felt like everlasting 44 . And the most annoying part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any 45 .
So what did I do to keep my good sense? I decided to 46 . Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer — a little brighter. Something about writing gave me 47 . And if you want something 48 enough, sometimes a little hope is all you 49 !
I put my thoughts into a children’s book. Beyond the River was the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish, who 50 to give up his dream.
And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world — just a lot of hard work and determination —I was offered a 51 contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into 52 . I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was 53 shortly after.
Don’t give up. Even if things look 54 now, don’t give up. If you work hard, things will always get better. Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream ... all we need is the 55 to push beyond the river.

One weekend afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting．I was looking forward to a quiet 36 of the splendid artwork．
A young 37 viewing the paintings ahead of me 38 nonstop between themselves．I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking．I admired the man"s 39 for putting up with her 40 stream of words． 41 by their noise, I moved on．
I met them several times as I moved 42 the various rooms of art．Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away 43 .
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a 44 when the couple approached the 45 ．Before they left, the man 46 into his pocket and pulled out a white object．He 47 it into a long stick and then 48 his way into the coatroom to get his wife"s jacket．
"He"s a 49 man, " the clerk at the counter said．" Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age．During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn"t change．So, as before, he and his wife come in 50 there is a new art show．"
"But what does he get out of the art?" I asked．"He can"t see．"
"Can"t see! You"re 51 ．He sees a lot．More than you and I do," the clerk said．"His wife 52 each painting so he can see it in his head．"
I learned something about patience, 53 and love that day．I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without 54 and the courage of a"" husband who would not 55 blindness to change his life．And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined．

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). One day he told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and 26 as much land area as he liked, he would give him the area of land he had covered. 27 enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and 28 as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. 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.
