完形填空。 "Are you too stupid to do anything right?" These words-said by a woman - 高中英语试题 - 超级试练试题库

完形填空。     "Are you too stupid to do anything right?" These words-said by a woman to a little boy who
was obviously her son-were   1   because he had walked away from her. The boy returned, his
eyes downcast (沮丧的).
     Not a    2   moment, perhaps.     3   small moments sometimes last a very long time. And a
few words -though they mean    4  at the time to the people who say them-can have great   5  .
     I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff. For the last 24 years he has
been a professional   6  . Here is what he told me:
     As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly    7  . He had few    8    and no self-confidence
(自信心). One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brauch, gave the class an assignment(作业). The
students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Now they were to write their own chapter that
would    9   the  last chapter of the novel. Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it 10   . Today he
can not recall(回忆起) anything 26about the chapter he wrote, or what    11  Mrs. Branch gave
him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs. Brauch wrote in the margin (空白处) of the
paper: "This is    12  writing."
     Four words. They     13   his life.
     "  14     I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or   15    I was going to be," he said.
     "After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been
16  of doing but never believed I could do."Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many
short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs. Brauch to evaluate (评价). She was
  17   , tough and honest. "She was just what I   18  ," Dalkoff said.
     His confidence   19   . Dalkoff believes that none of this would have happened, had that woman
not written those four words in the margin of his paper.(     )1. A. talked

     One night, as Diaz stepped off the train and onto a nearly empty platform, a teenage boy approached
and pulled out a knife.
     "He wanted my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, "Here you go "" Diaz says.
     As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, "Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you"re
going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm."
     The robber looked at him puzzled, saying, "Why are you doing this?"
     Diaz replied, "If you"re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then you must really need the
money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me….."
     Diaz says he and the teen went into a diner and sat in a booth.
     "The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi," Diaz says.
     The kid said, "You know everybody here. Do you own this place?"
     "No, I just eat here a lot," Dias said. "But you"re even nice to the dishwasher," he said.
     Diaz replied, "Well, haven"t you been taught you should be nice to everybody?"
     "Yea, but I didn"t think people actually behaved that way," the teen said.
     When the bill arrived, Diaz said, "You"re going to have to pay for this bill because you have my
money and I can"t pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I"ll gladly treat you."
     The teen returned it immediately. "I gave him $20…I figure maybe it"ll help him." Diaz says he asked
for something in return--- the teen"s knife--- "and he gave it to me."
     Afterwards, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, "You"re the type of kid that if
someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch."
     "I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right. It"s as simple
as it gets in this complicated world."

1. What did Diaz do to the teen?

A. He gave the teen a new wallet
B. He treated the teen to dinner
C. He gave his coat to the teen
D. He taught the teen a lesson

2. From the passage we can infer that the boy _______.

     Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this
from a musical soul.
     The other day I was feeling quite   1  , having just been laid off from my job. With so many   2
to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.
I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the   3  . I walked a
bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the   4   I saw a young lady sitting at
a piano with a box next to her.
     She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice   5   me a bit. Then I stood there watching
her playing, thinking that it must take   6   to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she
didn"t know.
     She might have felt my   7   for she occasionally looked in my direction.
By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked   8   and put
some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.
     I asked her   9  , "Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?"
     She explained to me that she sees so many   10   people in the world that she is trying to relieve the
pain by   11   motivational music.
     Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, "I have been going through a   12   time lately, but
you"ve made me   13   again."
     "I"m happy that I could be   14   to you," she replied. "Why are you so sad?"
     I told her my story and said, "I"m not so   15   about what to do…."
     "You see, here"s the   16  ," she responded. "When you were walking, your head was down." She
looked me in the eyes and went on, "Don"t look defeated, because   17   comes in different ways and
if your head is down you might never see it. You should   18   more …lift your head up."
I was really   19   by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.
So   20   in trouble, just face it bravely and you are sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later.

     The silent young woman in bed number six is called Jasmine. So am I, but names are only superficial
things, floats on the surface of the water, and we share deeper connections than that. That is why she
fascinates me-why I spend my off-duty time sitting beside her.
      Today is difficult. The ward (病房) is full of patients and I am kept busy emptying bed-pans, filling
out forms, changing dressings. Finally, late in the afternoon, I get a few moments to make coffee, to take
it over to the orange plastic chair beside her bed. I am thankful to be off my feet, glad to be in her
company once again.
      "Hello, Jasmine," I say, as if greeting myself.
      She does not reply. Jasmine never replies. She is down too deep.
      She has been sea-damaged. I too am the daughter of a fisherman, so I choose my words like
fish-hooks, cast them into her ears, imagine them sinking down through cold, dark water. Down to
wherever she may be.
      "I have little time today," I tell her, touching her hair.
      With Jasmine, it is always difficult not to touch. She is that rare thing, a truly beautiful woman.
Because of this, people invent reasons to walk by. I catch them looking, drinking her in, feeding on her.
They are barracuda (梭鱼), all of them.
      Great beauty is something Jasmine and I do not share. I am glad of it.
      "Your father may be here soon," I say. "Last week he said he would come."
      Jasmine says nothing. Her left eyelid flickers, perhaps.
      It is two months since the incident on her father"s fishing boat, since she fell overboard, sank, became
entangled in the nets. It was some time before anyone noticed, then there was panic. Her father hauled
her back on board and sailed for home. When he finally arrived, he carried ashore what he thought was
his daughter"s body.
      "Jasmine," I whisper. I want her to take our baited (用作诱醒的) name. I want her to swallow it.
      Fortunately, there was a doctor in the village that morning, a young man visiting relatives. It was he
who brought this drowned woman back from the brink, he who told me her story. She opened her eyes,
he said, looked up at her father and spoke a single word-then sank again, this time into coma.
      Barracuda. That is what Jasmine said.
      When her father visits, he touches her hair, kisses her cheek, sits in the orange plastic chair at the
side of her bed and holds her hand. Like my own father, he has the big, brown, life-roughened hands
of a fisherman. He too smells of the sea, and pretends he is a good, simple man.
      Jasmine. We share so much, we are almost one.
      I remember early mornings, my hair touched to wake me, my father lifting me half-asleep from my
bed, carrying me, dropping me into his boat. His voice rough in my ear, his hands rough on my skin. I
never wanted to go, but I was just a child. He did as he wished.
      I remember salt water, hot sun, my mother shrinking on the shore. I remember the rocking of the
boat, the screams of the seagulls.
      "Jasmine, you have a life inside you. Can"t you hear it calling?"
      Nothing.
      The ward door bangs, and I see Jasmine"s father walking towards us, carrying flowers. He smiles
at me. Even in death, my own child had my father"s smile, and Jasmine"s will have this man"s. I know it.
He stops by her bed and touches her hair. Something stirs deep inside me. I watch Jasmine"s eyelids,
waiting for her to bite.

1. Why does the author show special sympathy for Jasmine?

A. They share the same name.
B. Jasmine looks very fascinating.
C. They have much in common.
D. Jasmine"s father is very pitiful.

2. From the passage we can learn that Jasmine"s father _________.

A. comes to see his daughter every day
B. is a good and simple man in the author"s eyes
C. took his daughter out to the sea against her will
D. thought his daughter dead when back to the shore

3. What kind of situation is Jasmine in now?

A. She is unconscious.
B. She is nearly dying.
C. She is completely deaf.
D. She is in a bad mood.

4. We can learn from the story that __________.

A. ihe author enjoys her early life on the sea
B. Jasmine was pulled out of water without delay
C. the author spends her duty time attending Jasmine
D. it was a young doctor who happened to save Jasmine

     My little angel, you are teaching me how selfless real love is!
    My wife called, "How long will you be with that   1  ? Will you come here and make your darling
daughter eat her food?" I threw the paper away and   2   to the place. My daughter, Sindu, sat there,
tears welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a big bowl of rice.
     I   3   the bowl and persuaded: "Sindu, why not take a few mouthfuls of this rice?"
     "Ok, Dad. I will eat - not just a few mouthfuls,   4   the whole lot of this. But…" Sindu hesitated.
"Dad, if I eat this entire rice, will you give me   5   I ask for?"
     "Promise." I   6  .
     After eating the rice painfully, Sindu came to me, her eyes wide with   7  . Now I became a bit   8  .
"Dear, you shouldn"t insist on   9   a computer or any such   10   things. Dad does not have that kind of
money right now."   11  , "I want to have my head shaved off(剃掉), this Sunday!" was her demand
(要求), which was far   12   my belief.
     On Monday morning, I   13   Sindu at her school and watched her walking towards her classroom.
She turned around and   14  . I waved back with a smile. Just then, a boy, who just got out of a car,
shouted, "Sindu, please wait for me!" What   15   me was the hairless head of that boy.
     "Sir, your daughter is   16   indeed!" Without introducing herself, a lady standing beside me continued, "That boy is my son, who lost all his   17   because of a disease. He   18   to come back to school
fearing the unintentional(无意的)but   19   teasing(取笑)of the schoolmates. Sindu visited him last week,
and promised him that she would take care of the teasing issue. But, I   20   imagined she would sacrifice
her lovely hair for my son!"
