题型：不详难度：来源：
A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting（诱人的）apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, 26 a bar of chocolate if given the choice, 27 , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the 28 he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
He stood on tiptoe(脚尖)，29 as high as he could, but even as his tallest 30 he was unable to touch it. He began to 31 up and down, as high as he could, at the 32 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of 33 .
Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to 34 on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to 35 the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking 36 , he hoped he might find an old box, a rock , or, 37 luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.
He had tried everything he could think to do, 38 seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk 39 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his 40 , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he 41 like this, the more unhappy he became.
42 , the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “ This isn’t 43 , I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s 44 more I can do to get the apple—hat is unchangeable—but we are supposed to be able to 45 our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?

试题分析：本文叙述了一个小男孩在放学回家的路上，看见树上有苹果，他非常想要那个苹果，因为自己个小，够不着，他又跳又是蹦，还是没有得到。小男孩开始理智地看待自己遇到的问题，觉得生气、失望、难过等都没有帮助，不能从根本上解决问题。这个故事提示我们面对无法解决的问题，我们可以做到的就是改变自己的情感态度。
小题1:考查非谓语动词及上下文的呼应。preferring喜欢； offering提供； receiving收到；allowing允许。根据前面的句子可知，男孩并不是很喜欢吃水果，因此如果要他选择的话，他更喜欢吃一块巧克力。故选A。
小题2:考查副词及上下文的呼应。so 表示前是因后是果； then 那么，然后； but 表示前后是转折关系； or表示前后是选择关系。根据下面的句子“禁果诱人”可判断，上下文之间是转折关系，所以选择but。故选C。
小题3:考查形容词及上下文的呼应。sadder更加伤心； angrier更加生气； hungrier更加饿； tastier更加美味的。根据下文第50个空所在的句子中出现的hungry一词可判断，此处选择hungrier，表示“他越看那只苹果就越觉得肚子饿”。故选C。
小题4:考查动词及上下文的呼应。为了够到那只苹果，小男孩踮起脚尖，尽可能把身体伸展到最高的程度。expand扩大，扩充，扩展；stretch伸展，舒展；swing摆动，摇动；pull拉，扯，拔。故选B。
小题5:考查名词及上下文的呼应。strength 力气； length长度； range范围； height高度。根据语境可知，小男孩是站着伸手去够苹果，因此此处指的是身体的高度，不是力量、长度或范围。故选D。
小题6:考查动词及上下文的呼应。jump跳； look看； walk 步行；glance瞥见。根据生活常识可判断，既然小男孩站着够不到苹果，他只能开始上下跳跃。故选A。
小题7:考查名词及上下文的呼应。tip 小费； stage舞台； top顶部； level水平。每次跳到最高的时候，小男孩就伸长了胳膊去够苹果。at the top of在……顶部或顶端。故选C。
小题8:考查固定短语及上下文的呼应。hope 希望； hand 手； sight视力； reach延伸。根据下文可知，小男孩最终没有摘到苹果。out of reach是固定短语，意为“手够不着, 达不到”。故选D。
小题9:考查动词及上下文的呼应。put放； stand 站； get到达； hold持有。根据下文内容可知，小男孩没有放弃，他想如果自己踩在某些东西上面就能够到苹果了。故选B。
小题10:考查动词及上下文的呼应。break弄坏，折断； shake摇动； take 拿走； strike打击。小男孩身上背着书包，可他不想弄坏里面装的东西。故选A。
小题11:考查短语及上下文的呼应。look up向上看；lookforward期望；lookdown 向下看；look around四处环顾。根据上下文内容可知，为了找到能踩在脚下的东西，小男孩四处环顾。故选D。
小题12:考查短语及上下文的呼应。小男孩希望自己能够找到一个旧箱子，一块大石头，或者，如果顺利的话，能找到一架梯子。for luck为了吉利，为了祈求好运；with luck如果一切顺利的话；其他两个介词不能与luck搭配。故选B。
小题13:考查介词及上下文的呼应。after在……之后； through 通过； without 没有； upon根据。小男孩尝试了所有的方法，在眼看没有任何其他选择的情况下，小男孩只好放弃了。故选C。
小题14:考查动词短语及上下文的呼应。walk back 向后走； walk away 走开； walk up 沿着……走； walk down沿着……走。没有办法摘到苹果，小男孩只好失望地走开。故选B。
小题15:考查动词及上下文的呼应。wish希望； beliefs 信念； efforts 努力； goals目标。根据上文可知，小男孩做了很多努力，因此耗尽了力气，觉得又累又饿。故选C。
小题16:考查动词及上下文的呼应。think认为，想； imagine想像； try尝试； claime声称。此处表示他越是这样想，就越觉得不开心。故选A。
小题17:考查副词及上下文的呼应。therefore因此； however可是； moreover而且； otherwise否则。根据上下文内容可知，此处存在的是转折关系，所以选择however“然而，可是”。故选B。
小题18:考查形容词及上下文的呼应。Skilful灵巧的； cheerful愉快的； harmful 有害的； helpful有帮助的。根据下文内容可知，小男孩开始理智地看待自己遇到的问题，觉得生气、失望、难过等都没有帮助，不能从根本上解决问题。故选D。
小题19:考查代词及上下文的呼应。结合上文内容可知，小男孩清醒地认识到自己已经没有其他法子可用了，苹果也不会得到了。故选D。
小题20:考查动词及上下文的呼应。Change改变； express 表达； forget 忘记； describe描述。小男孩的反省也是文章主题的升华：面对无法解决的问题，我们可以做到的就是改变自己的情感态度。故选A。 |

I sat next to my close friend，Tina，in my history class．Our teacher，Miss Turner announced a new 11 ．We were to create a 12 about cultures．As required，we wrote the names of two friends we wanted in our group．Miss Turner informed us that she would 13 our choices and let us know the result．I had no 14 that I would work with Tina because I knew we had chosen each other．

Halfway through the week, I 25 myself enjoying working with my partners．There was no need to 26 —I grew sincerely interested in learning something about then. Mauro, I found out, was 27 with English after he came to this country. Karina wanted to be a fashion designer and she had a lot of 28 ideas．They were the ones no one cared enough about to try to understand—except Miss Turner．
Miss Turner gave us an A on that newspaper. But I think she is the one who truly 29 it. I really 30 that Miss Turner gave me a chance to see other people in a new light.

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a 11 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it 12 from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles(弹珠), 13 everywhere. I tried to use a broom(扫帚), 14 with each sweep, they just rolled across the kitchen.
For the next week, every time I was in the 15 , I found a pea——in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept 16 . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and 17__ 12 frozen peas hidden underneath．
At the time I found those few remaining 18 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful __19 I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded 20 those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my 21 had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had scattered(分散). My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble 22 his new surroundings and the 23 of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered.
When life gets you 24 , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never 25 , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be 26 , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas 27 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them 28 you’ll start to feel whole again.
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to 29 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, 30 will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar（美洲豹）saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.
Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
“Tom, no!” shouted his father.
But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.
Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws（爪子）got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
“Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.
The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.
小题1:Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?| A．To get ready to fight. | B．To frighten it away. | | C．To protect the boy. | D．To cool down. |
小题2:What do we know about cougars?| A．They are afraid of noises. | | B．They hesitate before they hit. | | C．They are bigger than we think. | | D．They like to attack running people. |
小题3:Which of the following happened first?| A．The cougar jumped from the rock. | | B．Tom struggled free of his father. | | C．Jeb asked Tom to get the knife. | | D．Jeb held Tom across his body. |

While Christmas shopping in a jewelry store, I discovered a table of golden ornaments (饰品) on sale. So beautiful in 41 ,each had a personality of its own. I looked through hundreds of pieces, 42 a few and took them home.
I was afraid that they would disappear among other 43 gifts of a Christmas tree, 44 I used them to decorate wreaths (花环). When I stood back to 45 my work, a thought crossed my mind: Wouldn’t some of our family and friends like these, too?
I raced back to the jewelry store to discover that the piles of ornaments had been 46 even further. This time I bought dozens, as I 47 the many people who might enjoy one for the holidays.
I 48 began my creative project. While I tied lovely bows and glued golden ornaments, my mind 49 to Christmases past, how special each had been. I thought about others perhaps not so 50 . Some people in our community 51 had a family to share the joy of Christmas. Some didn’t 52 with holiday decorations.
I nodded my head in determined 53 . They would be at the top of my list to receive a little wreath. 54 the plan my husband showed great enthusiasm (热情) and we set out together to put it into 55 .
We visited the aged, the widowed (寡居的) and the lonely. Each one was 56 at our cheerful stop and 57 hung our small gifts — often the 58 signs of celebration in their homes.
After several days, I realized we had made and given almost two hundred wreaths. Decorated with 59 and delivered with delight, they filled many homes and hearts with the joy of Christmas. We were glad that our 60 did make sense and we found our Christmas spirit in doing and giving.

Kara’s strength and determination to live were strong. Eventually, she could go home. We all waited patiently for new technology that could give Kara a new heart. When she was eighteen months old, her parents took her to a famous surgeon who performed a series of operations. There was no guarantee she would make it through the operation, but she succeeded.
Kara grew stronger every day, and it was not long before she was well enough to be around people. She had an amazing character and always wore a sweet smile. When she fell asleep against my body, happy and content, I realized how valuable life really is. As I took her in my arms with her warm breath against my neck, I decided to live every day of my life to the fullest.
