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 at 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—that 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：本文叙述了一个男孩在放学回家途中，他看到一个大的、诱人的苹果挂在一株大树的分枝上，他越看那苹果越觉得饿，越想吃掉那苹果。于是他想尽了所有的办法，还是不能够拿到苹果，自己感觉很伤心，后来转念一想，既然拿不到苹果是无法改变的，但我们总能够改变自己的感受。假如能这样的话，我可以做些什么令自己觉得好过一点呢?
小题1:考查动词及上下文的呼应。prefer喜欢； offer提供；.receive收到；allow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:考查连词及上下文的呼应。so因此； then接着； but但是； or或者。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更难过的； angrier更生气的； hungrier更饿的； tastier较美味的。根据下文句子中出现的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:考查非谓语动词及上下文的呼应。expanding扩展；stretching伸长； swinging摇摆； pulling拉。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一瞥。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:考查名词及上下文的呼应。hope希望； hand手； sight；视力；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抓住。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，打破； shake摇动； take 拿走； strike罢工。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:考查动词短语及上下文的呼应。lookup查阅； lookforward盼望；look down俯视；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:考查介词及上下文的呼应。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。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:考查副词及上下文的呼应。没有办法摘到苹果，小男孩只好失望地走开。walk away走开。故选B。
小题15:考查名词及上下文的呼应。wishes希望； beliefs信仰； 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想象；try尝试；claim要求。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熟练的； cheerful愉快的；harmful有害的； helpful有帮助的，有益的。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。something 某事； anything任何事；everything一切事情； nothing没有事情。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变化； 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。
点评：完型做这题要看清上下文，找准定位词。充分利用文章的上下文和前后句，找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。这些词有时可能是同义词或反义词。通顺逻辑，寻求搭配。注意固定的搭配，包括动词与介词的搭配、动词与名词的搭配以及形容词与名词的搭配等，同时要根据内容选择正确的短语。扎实基础，搞清辨异。看清执行者，确定所选词。寻求上下逻辑，从容确定关系。了解生活常识，确定相关知识。 |

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list anything in our past that we felt 16 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very 17 process, but there"s always some brave soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then 18 that we find ways to 19 people, or take some action to right any wrongdoings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 20 my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 21 , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff none of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies(老兄) and I decided to play a 22 on him.”
“After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a FOX. The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 23 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 24 found out.”
"Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name 25 on my list. I didn"t even know if he was still 26 . Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few 27 , I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused “Yes”. “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it.” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a 28 discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you because your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for calling me … for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 29 all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It"s never too late to 30 the past wrongdoings.

Here’s an unusual story: a diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician, Liu Qian, discovered it in front of an audience of million at CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. Liu’s magic tricks have made the centuries-old art of magic fashionable once again, and made him the hottest magician in China.
As a seasoned magician from Taiwan, Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States, Japan, South Korea and the UK.
Witnessing(见证) something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people’s love for magic.
Liu is known for his interaction with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship.
“It’s actually thinking rather than one’s performing skills that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively, to make them appear more interesting,” Liu said.

Yet, Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese Literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a proper job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.
