It was 4 o"clock in the morning when I received the phone call. “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 36 in with severe burns on his face,neck and arms.We have called for a(n) 37 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college,so we knew immediately this was 38 . The doctor described the 39 ,which caused the burns.At 6 am,our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment.When they 40 the charcoal(木炭),it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol).The flames 41 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head. 42 ,one of the boys was quick-minded,grasped my son,and 43 him on the grass.While it saved his life,it was not in 44 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤). After he 45 from the treatments,the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months 46 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.So,he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns. When I was a child, my mother told my sister,who had a 10-inch, very 47__ scar on her arm,“Nancy,if you ignore the scar,other people will ignore it.It does not mean they will not 48 it,but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.’’ I 49 this wisdom on to my son.He took my advice to 50 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive. By the end of the six-month waiting period,he decided that the scars did not 51 , sohe made the 52 to give up any plastic surgery. We all have “scars” that we believe 53 people to keep away from us.And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked different,or dressed differently,people would like us better. But you see,people will only judge you by your looks,or your clothes,if you are judging yourself by these same 54 standards.Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 55 yourself,and your beauty will shine through.

解析
试题分析:作者的儿子在一次意外事故中被严重烧伤,在作者的劝说下,他昂首挺胸地返回了学校,并主动放弃了整容手术。诚然,外表只是虚假的东西,真正重要的是人的内心。 小题1:A 对方给作者打电话,说作者的儿子被“送进”了急诊室。turn in表示“归还”,不符合语境。 小题2:C 根据本句后半部分的“fly him to the burn unit in Seattle”可知对方已经联系好了“飞机”,打算 把作者的儿子送往西雅图治疗。 小题3:A 结合上文提到的内容可知作者立刻意识到了事态的“严重性”。 小题4:D 根据下文内容可知作者的儿子被烧伤是“意外事故”。A项常用来表示重大事件。 小题5:B 根据本句后半部分的内容可知是“点燃”木炭时。 小题6:C 浇有过多汽油的木炭喷出的火苗烧着了作者儿子的衬衣,此处catch可理解为“着(火)烧 着”。 小题7:A 当时,作者的儿子身上火势熊熊,“幸运的是”,其中一个孩子反应敏捷,及时采取行动, 从而挽救了作者儿子的生命。 小题8:D 那个孩子的目的是想扑灭作者儿子身上的大火,由此可推断他是让作者的儿子在草地上“滚 动”。 小题9:D 那个孩子虽然救了作者儿子一命,却没能“及时”挽回大火对作者的儿子造成的肉体伤害 的局面。 小题10:B 上文提到作者的儿子被送往西雅图救治,所以此处是作者的儿子经过治疗后“康复”。 小题11:C 根据本句后半部分的内容可知这里说的是六个月之内不能进行整容的原因。 小题12:C 根据常识可知如果胳博上有一条10英寸长的伤疤,一定非常“明显”。 小题13:B 如果自己不把伤疤放在心上,其他人也会这么做,但这并不意味着他们没有“注意到”伤 疤的存在。 小题14:D pass on表示“传递”,即作者把这种智慧传给自己的儿子。 小题15:A 作者的儿子将作者的建议牢牢地记在“心”中,昂首挺胸地返回了学校。 小题16:B 经过六个月的漫长等待,作者的儿子认为自己的伤疤无关紧要,决定放弃整容手术。matter表示“要紧,有关系”。 小题17:C 上文提到医生告诉作者的儿子六个月后才可以实施整容手术,而此时的他发生了思想转变, 作出“决定”——不再进行任何整容手术。 小题18:B 此处是cause sb. to do sth.结构,表示“导致某人做某事”。定语从句中的we believe可看做 是插入语。 小题19:A 在作者看来,外表和衣着只是“虚假的”评判标准。后三项分别表示“严格的”“道德的” “一般的,大体的”,都不符合语境。 小题20:D 本句的前半部分提到要把外表和衣着等外在表现抛在脑后,由此可知作者强调的是内在美。 点评:本文主要是测试学生综合运用语言的能力,即从语篇的角度综合测试阅读理解能力、词汇的掌握和对英语习惯用语的熟悉程度、以及语法规则的灵活运用。考生做题时必须时刻从上下文考虑,不应该只看到所添的词在短语或句子内是否可行。因此,在做题时最好将全文通读一下,了解了全文的意思以后再作答。 |

I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always not enough, but we had a 36 over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always 37 . Not knowing we were poor, my kids (孩子们) just thought I was 38 . I’ve always been glad about that. It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t enough 39 for a lot of gifts, we planned to hold a family party. And the big 40 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 41 . They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 42 what they wanted for Christmas. Luckily, I had saved $120 for them to buy 43 . The big 44 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 45 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would 46 again at the “Santa’s Workshop”. Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 47 my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually 48 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies — fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything 49 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, ready to be 50 again. This is what she told me. “I was looking 51 , thinking of what to buy, and I 52 to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she 53 for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and 54 the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.” I never felt so 55 as I did that day.

Whenever we do something wrong, Jesus Christ sees it. He loves us and doesn’t say it. Perhaps he’s wondering how long we’ll keep our mind suffering. A little boy named Johnny was visiting his grandparents on their farm and he was given a slingshot(弹弓) to play with out in the woods. He 36 for some time but he could never hit the target he had set for himself. Getting a little 37 , he walked back to the farmhouse for dinner. As he was _ 38 back, he saw Grandpa’s pet duck. Just out of 39 , he let the slingshot fly , hitting it in the head ,and killed it. In a panic, he 40 the dead duck in the woodpile, only to see his sister Sally 41 be watching him. Sally had seen all this, but she said _42 . After lunch that day Grandma said, “Sally, it’s your turn to wash the dishes.” But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.” And then she spoke _43 to him, “Remember the duck?” So Johnny did the dishes. Later that day, Grandpa asked if 44 wanted to go fishing, but Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Sally to help me make supper.” But Sally just smiled and said, “Well, that’s all right because Johnny told me he was too 45 to help you. And she whispered again, “Remember the duck?” So Sally went fishing and Johnny 46 to help make supper. After several days of doing both his 47 and Sally’s, Johnny finally couldn’t 48 it any longer. He came to his Grandma and told her that he had killed the duck .Grandma smiled and gave him a big 49 . “Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was watering the flowers at the window 50 I saw you shoot my duck with the slingshot, and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I 51 you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally 52_ of you.” In reality, no matter how 53__or how uncomfortable it is to admit our wrongdoing, we should always choose to 54 it and work it through instead of running away from it. Hard as it is, it 55 us and makes us who we are.

Few people ever took notice of Mr. Jimmy Tan whenever he entered a room. He was a shy, quiet and simple man who preferred to keep to himself in public. On the other hand, Mr. Thomas Kim, a fellow scientist, was a man everyone would notice on the streets. He wore bright outfits with huge flower prints, spoke with a booming voice, and his laughter could be heard from all corners of a room. In addition to the differences in their characters, Mr. Kim and Mr. Tan were also great rivals at work in the Institute of Future Science. On Christmas Eve, everyone left work early to celebrate the special occasion, except for Mr. Tan and Mr. Kim. They were in their laboratory analyzing the results of their latest experiments. Mr. Tan realized that something special was taking place in his experiment —the bacteria he had cultured were growing extremely quickly under high pressure and at a very low temperature. After noting down the findings in his notebook, he left the room to prepare for another round of tests. Shortly after, Mr. Kim entered. “Hey Jimmy,” Mr. Kim called out, “do you have an extra copy of the laboratory booking form?” There was no reply, so Mr. Kim looked through Mr. Tan’s things. He soon found Mr. Tan"s notebook and was horrified to see that Mr. Tan had managed to make one of the most important discoveries in modern science. He then looked into the deep-freeze cupboard where a dish containing the bacteria was kept. He put them into his pocket and returned to his own laboratory. Mr. Tan came back an hour later to find his notebook and the dish missing. He knew that Mr. Kim had taken them and went to Mr. Kim"s laboratory to find out. When he opened the door, he found Mr. Kim lying on the floor motionless. His face was pale and his skin had turned black. The deadly bacteria had been handled improperly. He shook his head and left. 小题1:From the first paragraph we know Mr. Kim was a quite person.A.famous | B.hardworking | C.wealthy | D.outgoing | 小题2:The underlined word "rivals" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to .A.enemies | B.colleagues | C.competitors | D.friends | 小题3:What does the underlined word “them” refer to in the 4th paragraph?A.the most important discoveries | B.the notebook and the dish | C.the cupboard and the bacteria | D.the dish and the bacteria | 小题4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Mr. Kim was afraid Mr. Tan might succeed ahead of him. | B.Mr. Tan"s bacteria grew very fast in a warm container. | C.Mr. Tan worked much harder than Mr. Kim. | D.Mr. Kim was so tired that he fell down into sleep. | 小题5:What happened to Mr. Kim in the end?A.He died on Christmas Eve. | B.He was arrested by the police. | C.He shared the success with Mr. Tan. | D.He succeeded ahead of Mr. Tan. |
