A trip to the bookstore with my granddaughter is always a big event. She __36__ in it for hours, touching the books, running her hands over the covers, looking at a few ___37___ here and looking at a few pages there. I never ___38__ the full importance my five-year-old Grand Angel placed on these trips, until the day I suggested she pick the book she liked best, __39____ we could go home for dinner. Her response(答复) was __40___. “But Grammy, I ___41___ them all the best. All the covers are be-yoo-tiful and all the pictures are bee-yoo-tiful and they’re all __42___. Just like people. Remember when you told me about people?” I most certainly __43___ when I told her about people. I had explained that we are all __44___ in our own different way. Each of us has a story to ___45___ and no two stories are similar. We learn by ____46__ our stories and listening to the stories of others. Difference is the thing that makes each and every one of us __47___. I had no idea that she’d connected the lesson with ___48___. Actually, no one book was ___49___ than any other book. They were equally beautiful and equally special(特别的). With dinner still ___50___ and our stomachs beginning to make noise, ___51___ time was finally at hand. But how to choose? I suddenly ___52___ the right question when I asked, “Which book wants to go home the most with you today?” After a short moment of ___53___, her eyes lit up. She ran to a specific book and ___54___ it from its place on the shelf. The main __55____ was the picture on the cover, a turtle with sad eyes. “We need to find out why the turtle is sad,” she said.

解析
小题1:考查动词辨析。根据句意可知,作者的孙女在书店里待几个小时,在那里以翻书为乐,并不是学习。故选D。 小题1:考查前后文的联系。根据后半句looking at a few pages there可知,她一会儿这里翻几页,一会儿那里翻几页。故选B。 小题1:考查动词辨析。 realize“意识到”;ask“询问”;support“支持,供养”;approve“通过”。直到作者让孙女挑选最喜欢的书,作者才意识到孙女有多看重这些“旅行”。故选A。 小题1:这里的so是so that的省略,意为“为了,以便于”。为了回家吃晚饭,作者让孙女挑出喜欢的书。故选C。 小题1:考查词义辨析。 important“重要的”;great“很棒的”;independent“独立的”;fluent“流利的”。根据后文的意思可知,作者对孙女的回答很满意。故选B。 小题1:根据孙女的回答“所有的封面和图画都很漂亮”可知,她喜欢所有的书。故选D。 小题1:根据“Just like people.”可知,每本书都是不同的。故选A。 小题1:这一句是对孙女的疑问的回应。作者记得何时给孙女讲有关人的故事。故选C。 小题1:根据上文孙女把书比做人,每本书都很漂亮,每个人都有自己的优点。故选B。 小题1:考查固定搭配。tell a story“讲故事”。我们每个人都有一个故事。故选D。 小题1:“我们通过倾听他人的故事和分享自己的故事来学到知识。”by“通过”,是介词。故选A。 小题1:考查固定用法。make sb. +形容词作宾补,“使某人怎么样”。不同的经历使每个人变得不同。故选C。 小题1:作者没想到的是孙女会把这个道理与书联系起来。故选B。 小题1:作者从让孙女挑选喜欢的书为切入点,其实,每本书都同样漂亮,同样特殊,而无所谓哪一本更好。故选D。 小题1:作者一直在书店里陪孙女看书,耽误了吃晚饭的时间,结果肚子开始咕咕叫起来。应该是家人在等他们吃晚饭。故选C。 小题1:at hand“即将到来”。做决定的时间到了。decision“决定”。故选A。 小题1:thought of“想起”;left out“忽视”。作者突然想到了一个很好的问题。故选C。 小题1:孙女思考了一会儿。of是介词,后用动词的ing形式,即thinking。故选B。 小题1:作者的孙女把那本书从书架上拿下了。remove...from...“把......从......拿走”。故选D。 小题1:选这本书的原因是封面的那幅画。故选A。 |

Ellen and Bill County are both teachers. They met in college and became good friends because of their shared love for children. Two years after the couple got married, Ellen saw a huge change in the life of one of her students, a 9-year-old girl. Three years ago both of the little girl’s parents had died and there was no one to take care of her. She was taken away to live in a government office. But finally she was taken in and adopted by a family and became their daughter. Ellen said that she noticed the difference in the child’s life after she was placed in a permanent home and thought that maybe she and her husband could help a child in a similar way. They decided to become temporary parents and to take a child into their home on the weekends when the real parents could not take care of him or her.

Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years.

I decided that I would consider 23 to singing in restaurants. My family are all musicians, so I was 24 when I went into our local music store. I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of 25 to get started. And 26 you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can 27 use. When I told the owner of the shop about my 28 ; he gave me a long thoughtful 29 . “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?” he said. “Come with me.” He led me 30 the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand 31 on his treasure and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your 32 and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.” I 33 . Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose 34 that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help. His 35 still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.
