完形填空。     Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each
passing day, everyone became more   1  , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its   2  , everyone would run
for their coats and go home, everyone except David.
     David was a small boy in ragged (破旧的) clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had,
and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so inappropriately for the cold winter months,
without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David   3 . I can still remember he was always   4   a
smile and willing to help. He always   5   after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked
much. He   6   just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly
head for home.
     Weeks passed and the   7   over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of   8   before
the holiday break. I smiled in relief (欣慰) as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around, I saw
David   9   standing by my desk.
     "I have something for you," he said and  10  from behind his back a small box.  11  it to me, he said anxiously,
"Open it." I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped (打开) it. I lifted the lid and to my  12
saw nothing. I looked at David"s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it"s
empty."
     "Oh, no, it isn"t," said David. "It"s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you
couldn"t see or touch unless you know it"s there."
     Tears filled my eyes  13  I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given  14  to. After that Christmas,
David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning  15  the little empty box set on my desk

     Mary and Peter were having a picnic with some friends near a river when Mary notice an object overhead.
"Look!" she shouted to her friends. "That"s a spaceship up there and it"s going to land here."
     Frightened by the strange silver-colored spaceship, most of the young people got in their cars and drove
away quickly. Peter was fond of Mary and always stayed close to her. They, more curious than frightened,
watched the spaceship land and saw a door open. When nobody came out, they went to the spaceship and
entered inside. Peter followed Mary into the spaceship and did not hear the door closed behind him. The
temperature fell rapidly and the two young people lost consciousness.

see a spaceship?"
     "Yes," said Mary. "And we both went into it. Then..." she looked at her wrist. "That"s funny. My watch
has stopped. Oh, well, come on. It"s time to go home."
     Driving about fifty meters, they found their way blocked by a thick wall made of something like glass.
They got out of the car and tried to find their way round the wall but discovered that they were inside a
circular wall. It was like a mirror and prevented them from seeing through it.

     On a recent morning in Clearwater, Florida, Maja Kazazic jumped down into water. From a distance, the
dolphin seemed friendly enough. Still, Kazazic felt a little panic slide into her excitement. In spite of her fear,
she felt strong wearing her new leg.
    In second grade in Bosnia, Kazazic lost her cousin, Jasmina. Kazazic promised she would honor Jasmina
by swimming with a dolphin, an animal that both girls loved. "Jasmina never got the chance to do it," says
Kazazic,"so I decided that someday I"d do it for her."
     However, in 1993, during the Bosnian civil war, Kazazic was badly injured. Her left leg was cut just below
the knee and she received her first artificial (人工的) leg in the US. Because there was so little bone left, and
with her right leg also damaged, walking was rather painful, but she managed to graduate from college. She
was able to play golf or tennis.
    Then one day a young dolphin, Winter, who had lost her tail, caught Kazazic"s eye. Trainers were fitting
Winter with a high-tech tail. When they were done, Winter dashed off through the water.
     Kazazic was excited. If she can do this, there"s no way I can"t, she thought. Within ten days, she had a
new leg with the help of the inventor. Eight months later, Kazazic was ready to keep the promise. "After being
in a war, this should be a piece of cake," Kazazic said as she lowered herself into the tank. Then and there the
two went on an hour-long swim around the pool.
     When Kazazic climbed out, she quietly said, "I feel like I owed (欠) somebody something, and now I"ve
paid my debt." Out in the parking lot, she got into her car and cried till she lost her voice.

1. Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?

[ ]

A. Kazazic"s Promise.
B. Jasmina"s Death.
C. Kazazic"s Debt.
D. A Dolphin"s Tail.

2. What does the underlined word "panic" mean in the first paragraph?

[ ]

A. Fear.
B. Surprise.
C. Excitement.
D. Satisfaction.

3. Which is the correct order of the following events?
    a. Kazazic was treated and received a new leg in the US.
    b. Kazazic made a promise to swim with a dolphin.
    c. Jasmina died in Bosnia when Kazazic was in second grade.
    d. Kazazic overcame difficulties and carried out her promise.
    e. Kazazic was badly injured in her legs during the war.

[ ]

A. b, c, e, a, d
B. b, e, c, d, a
C. c, b, e, a, d
D. c, e, b, d, a

4. Kazazic cried in her car after she swam with the dolphin because _____.

[ ]

A. she was sad her cousin couldn"t do it with her
B. she was excited her promise had come true
C. she was afraid she would lose the other leg
D. she was proud she didn"t owe money to anybody
