解析
本文讲述的是一个小男孩学校要开家长会，他本来不愿妈妈去，但妈妈却答应了，小男孩很失望，为什么呢？原来妈妈脸上有一块小男孩认为很丑陋的疤痕。但当得知此疤是妈妈为救他而留下的时，小男孩很惭愧。从此文章中我们也感到了母爱的伟大。
小题1:B。从语法角度看四个选项都对，但根据下文来看，小男孩不愿妈妈参加学校家长会，因此当听到妈妈说她将去时，他感到很“失望”。
小题2:A。讲述故事用过去时，会议还未开，是将来时，因此用“would + 动词原形”，表示过去将来。
小题3:D。根据语境可知这将会是他的老师和同学们第一次“见”他的妈妈。
小题4:B。be sick of 意为“厌恶，厌倦”；be ashamed of 意为“感到羞愧，惭愧”；be afraid of 意为“害怕，担忧”；be tired of 意为“厌烦”。根据语境可知答案为 B。小男孩对妈妈的相貌感到羞耻。
小题5:C。cover 意为“遮盖”。严重的疤痕几乎全部遮住了她的右脸
小题6:A。talk about 意为“谈论，讨论”；think about 意为“考虑”；care about 意为“关心”；hear about 意为“听说”。根据语境可知，小男孩从来不想谈论疤痕的原因及疤痕是如何留下的。
小题7:A。be impressed by 意为“被深深打动 / 感动”。在会上，人们都被他妈妈的善良和自然美所感动。
小题8:D。in sight of 意为“临近；可被……望见”；by means of 意为“依靠”；by way of 意为“经由”；in spite of 意为“虽然；尽管……仍”。根据句意可知答案为 D。
小题9:A。hide 意为“躲避，躲藏，避开(某人的视线)”，特指出于羞愧或悲痛。但是小男孩还是感到困窘，因此他避开每一个人。
小题10:C。根据下文内容可知，小男孩是听到了他妈妈和老师之间的谈话，因此答案为 C。
小题11:A。carefully 意为“小心地，谨慎地”；seriously 意为“认真地，真诚地”；nervously意为“胆怯地”；anxiously 意为“忧虑地，不安地”。问别人的“疤痕”应该是“谨慎地问”，故答案为 A。
小题12:B。as, when 和 while 这三个词都可以引出时间状语从句，它们的区别是：when 从句表示某时刻或一段时间；as 从句表示进展过程；while 从句只表示一段时间。根据语境“我儿子小时候，他住的房子找了火”应该是指时间点，因此答案为 B。
小题13:D。too...to... 意为“太…以至于不能”。大家都太害怕了以至于不敢进那房子。
小题14:A。out of control 意为“不受控制”；under control 意为“被控制住”；in control 意为“在控制之下”。根据语境“因为火势无法控制”可知答案为 A。
小题15:C。helpless 意为“无助的”；hopeless 意为“没有希望的，绝望的”； senseless 意为“不省人事的，无感觉的，无意识的”；useless意为“无用的，无效的”。根据语境可知是被燃烧木头敲击得失去知觉，因此答案为 C。
小题16:D。touch 意为“触摸”。她触摸着烧伤的那边脸。
小题17:B。lasting 意为“永久的，永恒的”。“这疤痕将是永恒的。”
小题18:D。“但直到今天，我从未后悔我所做的”，这便是母爱的伟大之处。
小题19:B。他感到了一种伟大的母亲为他所做的牺牲意识。
小题20:C。那天其余的时间他一直紧紧地握着妈妈的手。 |
举一反三
I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and 36 asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not 37 them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step 38 on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I 39 something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been 40 to a lamppost. This was just one of the 41 things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop 42 passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated 43 I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would 44 a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to 45 my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
46 on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them 47 making a fool of myself. I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.

A Love Note to My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled (T台展示) for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling 36 in your life. Little did I know you were 37 every penny you earned to go to 38 school.
I cannot thank you enough for 39 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried 40 piles of law books. I was 41 . Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for 42 ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms 43 be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was, that statement kept 44 in my ears. I watched as you faced the 45 of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a 46 and a Mom of five kids. I was exhausted just watching you 47 . With your words of wisdom in my 48 mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world 49 . I set out to live my life filled with 50 , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I 51 found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) 52 one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said, “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your 53 , I have forged ahead(毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and 54 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m 55 it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

People always say that if God closed a door in front of you, there must be a window opened for you. Yes, people always say that, but 36 is the window for me?
I am not disappointed, just a little worried 37 as my roommate said, “ Why are you angry with yourself once you 38 to do anything?” I have no idea. I just can’t 39 me if I can’t understand some easy things. Currently, I just feel__ 40 _with myself because I couldn’t finish the assignment on the lab, and what was 41 worse was that actually I did not understand what the 42 was! Fiona asked me why I didn’t 43 for help. The problem is that if I have to ask some silly questions, I will feel 44 .
Before I came here I was confident. But I have totally lost it. Sometimes I can’t__ 45 find the right words; sometimes I am too shy to 46 others. I have to admit that I am 47 .
The wisest people are always 48 who can take advantage of others’ wisdom. But I was so stupid as to close myself and 49 a lot of time soaking inside the workbook, 50 made me more confused. Why can’t I follow the sentence? I am 51 to get help the next time I have any questions. I can 52 I am not smart, but I shouldn’t hide it. I must 53 it as soon as possible. 54 I will have to waste much more time on it—just like tonight.
Difficulties always go with me. Go 55 ! I can make it.

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people"s rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar( 奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature. And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail -- that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
小题1:A friend of the writer"s drew the horses ____. | A．very well | | B．in the way of western rule | | C．in the way of his own rule | | D．all of the above |
小题2:The writer was surprised because ____. | A．the artist began to draw at the head of the horse | | B．the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse | | C．the artist made his own rule | | D．the artist did not follow other people"s rule |
小题3:You are not yet experienced because ____. | A．you don"t know where to begin | | B．you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail | | C．you always asked question | | D．you do not trust to your own powers |
小题4:when you become more experienced you will ____. | A．never ask question | | B．often begin at the tail | | C．should write the end of the story | | D．should think of the beginning |
小题5:The topic of the passage is | A．How to draw a horse | | B．How to write a story | | C．How to make your own rules | | D．Trust to your own powers |
