完形填空。     Tired and exhausted, I come back home from work. I found the front door was   1   open and I felt a little
scared. Did I carelessly forget to lock it after I left? I looked around   2 to see what could be   3 . Why would
someone come into my home only to   4   with nothing? After searching every inch, I realized that everything
was   5   I had left it. No   6   cushions, broken lamps, or   7 emptied out on the carpet. Feeling much   8 , I
looked out my oversized window of my dinning room at Ms. Sullivan"s house. Jimmy, the little boy next door
was visiting her. Jimmy cared a lot about Ms. Sullivan and was very concerned with her health after she became
ill. She used to   9   Jimmy when he was just a baby.
    Forgetting about the  10  with my front door, I decided to walk over to Ms. Sullivan"s house to see how she
was  11 . With a warm hello, she invited me into her home. I noticed twelve beautiful roses delicately presented
on the table next to her bed. They looked exactly like the  12  on my dinning room table in front of my oversized
window. With a pleasant smile, she told me Jimmy brought them to her as a "get-well gift". Suddenly Jimmy
13  out of his seat in an instant and said that he had to go home for a while to do some homework but he
promised to be back to  14  up on Ms. Sullivan.
     Talking for a while, Ms. Sullivan began to get very tired so I gave her my phone number in case she  15
needed help, and left her home. I thought about how  16  it was for little Jimmy to be so concerned for Ms.
Sullivan. I got home, laughing at how  17  I was that morning about what had happened over  18 . I walked
passed the dinning room and noticed my roses  19  in the vase were missing. Without a second  20 , I glanced
out the window at Ms. Sullivan"s house and with a smile on my face I turned off the light in the room and went
to sleep.
     The next morning my door bell rang. I opened the door and Jimmy was there...

     I had looked forward to this day for a long time. Finally I, Kirsty Stuart, would stand on the top of Mount
Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps. Although I climbed often in my native Scotland, this was my first trip
to the Alps. My companions-Jean-Pierre Barton, Maurice Gautier, and Mary Sargent-and I left our camp early
and planned to reach the top by late morning.
     As we neared the top, large clouds gathered and it began to snow. We found shelter and decided to wait
for the snow to stop. After three hours, however, we decided to go back and try again the next day. We started
down the mountain in the thick snow. Jean-Pierre forgot his sunglasses and went back to look for them. As
he was returning to us, he started to fall. His fall started an avalanehe (雪崩) and it was falling towards us! I
was swept away by the heavy snow. Jean-Pierre hurried down to me. "Are you OK?" he asked.
     "I think I broke my leg," I answered.
    "I"d better radio for help!" he said."Where are the others?" We couldn"t see Maurice or Mary anywhere.
     Jean-Pierre called the emergency radio number, and the police said they would send help right away. It
seemed like hours, but only minutes later we heard the welcome sound of a helicopter. The helicopter couldn"t
land on the mountainside, so they lowered two men, two dogs and a stretcher (担架). One man ran to me, but
I told him to search for the others. The dogs were trained for avalanche rescue and soon began to dig crazily
in the snow.
     Bernardo, the lead dog, found Mary"s scarf and led the rescuers to her. Maurice was nearby. The men gave
us hot drinks and warm blankets and then prepared to lift us into the helicopter. Two men inside the helicopter
pulled us up with the ropes. I went first on the stretcher.
     Once we were safely inside, the helicopter flew to the hospital in Chamonix Our poor rescuers and their
dogs had to climb all the way back down the mountain. Later we would find these brave men and thank them
for saving our lives.

1. What prevented the climbers from reaching the top?

A. The terrible weather.
B. The loss of the sunglasses.
C. The injury of the team members.
D. The unexpected height of the mountain.

2. How did the writer break his leg?

A. The road was covered with snow.
B. His companion knocked into him.
C. The heavy clouds blocked his view.
D. The avalanche caused a fall for him.

3. How did the writer feel while waiting for help?

A. Anxious.
B. Crazy.
C. Sorry.
D. Annoyed.

4. What do we learn from the passage?

A. Mary was the leader of the team.
B. The team was upset about their failure.
C. It was several hours before the rescue team arrived.
D. The writer was excited thinking of climbing Mount Blanc.

     When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized
from my dad"s office. When he told me that he was laid off, I thought he was joking. Then I noticed his
seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker. He has prided
himself on his career. 1_____ I guess I had taken his work for granted.
     2_____ For starters, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up,
and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer
searching for jobs. 3_____ He seemed down, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and
me to spend less. I gave up my spending money, which wasn"t much. I also found a part-time job.
     4_____ He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business.
Day by day, I watched him build it. One evening I asked if he needed help. "Only if it doesn"t affect school,"
he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months.
     5_____ The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that
through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B. I can ask for help and take risks. What I have
learned from my dad"s understanding of business and his work ethic (信条) are two of the most important
lessons I will ever learn. And they will be my principles for success.

A. Providing for our family has been his joy.
B. I made every effort to solve his problems.
C. I began to notice how losing his job had affected him.
D. My father"s unemployment created many changes in our lives.
E. After months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction.
F. His courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career.
G. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action influenced me a lot.

     No one else knew about the extra club in Zach Nash"s golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot
it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament (锦标赛) last summer in Wisconsin, US.
     The 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with his grandparents who had come from a long way
to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something
wrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teenager.
     Fifteen-one more than allowed. Zach"s eyes filled with tears.
    If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation
after the win, it would not have mattered. It is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw
fouls (假摔以使对方犯规).
     Golf is different. In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. Golf isn"t a game
where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so
officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call penalties (处罚) on themselves.
     "It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They care about doing the right
thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.
     Honesty became a medal of honor. When one of the game"s early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for
calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied:"You might as well praise a man for not robbing
a bank."
     So even the error had no effect on Zach"s final score-he has never used the extra club, the teenager packed
up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this is golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he
said.
     Then came another tournament. Before teeing off (开球), Zach counted his clubs-four times.

1. What can we infer from the text?

A. A friend put an extra club in Zach"s bag.
B. Zach returned the medal that he had won.
C. Zach"s grandparents encouraged him to play fair.
D. Zach regretted meeting with the professional player.

2. According to Robert, golf is different from other sports in that _____.

A. honor comes before victory
B. players are superior to coaches
C. referees have to watch each shot
D. players needn"t care about medals

3. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?

A. One should be praised-for not robbing a bank.
B. Bobby looked down upon bank robbers.
C. Little did Bobby care about the penalty.
D. Observing rules demands no praise.

4. Why did Zach count his clubs four times before the following tournament?

A. He remembered the lesson.
B. He lacked self-confidence.
C. He felt a little too nervous.
D. He was no good with numbers.

     It"s a typical Snoopy card: cheerful message, bright colors, though a little yellow and faded now. Although
I"ve received fancier, more expensive cards over the years, this is the only one I"ve   1 . One summer, it spoke
volumes to me.
     I received it   2 the first June I faced as a widow to raise two teenage daughters alone. In all the emotional
confusion of this sudden single   3 , I even had difficulty in the simplest housework: leaky taps, oil changes,
even barbecues. Those had always been my husband"s   4   I was embarrassed every time I   5   my thumb with
a hammer. My uncertain attempts only   6   the fear inside me: How could I be both a father and mother to my
girls? Clearly, I   7   the tools and skills.
     That morning, my girls pushed me into the living room to see something. (I prayed it wasn"t   8   repair job.)
The "something" turned out to be an   9 and several wrapped things on the carpet. My  10  must have been
plain as I stared from the colorful packages to my daughters"  11  faces.
     "Go ahead! Open them!" they urged. As I  12  the packages, I discovered a small barbecue grill and all the
necessary  13  including a green kitchen glove.
    "But why?" I asked.
    "Happy Father"s Day!" they shouted together.
     "Moms don"t get presents on Father"s Day," I said.
    "You forgot to open the  14 ," Jane reminded I pulled it from the envelope. There sat Snoopy, merrily wishing
me a Happy Father"s Day."Because," the girls said, "you"ve been a father and mother to us, why shouldn"t you
be  15  on Father"s Day?"
    As I fought back tears, I realized they were  16 . I wanted to be a "professional" dad, who had the latest tools.
The girls  17  wanted a parent they could count on to be there, day after day,  18  repeatedly the tasks of basic
care and love.
    The girls are grown now,  19  they still send me Father"s Day cards, but none of those cards means as much
to me as that first one. Its simple message told me being a great parent didn"t require any special  20  at all-just a
willing worker.
