A Love Note To My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modelling 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 went 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 could 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 43 in my ears. I watched as you faced the 44 of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a 45 and a Mom with five kids. I was exhausted just watching you in action. With your words of wisdom in my youthful mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world 46 . I set out to live my life filled with 47 , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I constantly found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) or 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 48 , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and 49 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m 50 it. So, get to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

解析
小题1:B 多年之后作者终于明白了当模特在妈妈的生活中起着怎样的作用。由空前的what role可知此处应用动词played与之搭配,构成短语play a role in,含义是“起作用,扮演角色”。故选B项。
小题1:A save“节省”;make“挣得,制作”;donate“捐赠”;receive“收到,得到”。由空后的every penny you earned可知此处应用saving表示“节省你挣的每一个便士”。故选A项。
小题1:C 由第二段第22个空后的you were in law school可知,此处应用law表示“上法律学校”。故选C项。
小题1:A what与which是代词,在句子中作主语、宾语或表语;that引导宾语从句时,不作任何成分;where是副词,在从句中作状语。由于本句中told me后缺少直接宾语,所以排除B项和D项。which多用于有选择范围的时候,因此此处应用what表示“我非常感谢你在我九岁那年的一个秋天的下午和我说的那番话。”故选A项。
小题1:C 由下面的问句以及第22个空后的I was more puzzled可知此处应用puzzled表示作者的困惑。amused“愉快的,开心的”;worried “担心的”;puzzled“迷惑的”;disappointed“失望的”。故选C项。
小题1:B 由空前的Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying可知,作者的妈妈正和小时候的作者一样,为考试而背课本和学习。孩子们背课本和学习当然是为了考试。故选B项。
小题1:A ring“回响”,常与in one s ears搭配,表示“在耳边响起”;blow“吹”;fall“摔倒,跌落”;beat“击败,击打”。根据空后的in my ears可知ringing为最佳答案。
小题1:C choice“选择”;chance“机会”;challenge“挑战”;change“变化”。由上文作者的妈妈学习的样子可知,要完成学业并和作者的爸爸创办公司等对她来说是挑战。故选C项。
小题1:D 由短文第一句中的modeled可知作者的妈妈是一名模特。故选D项。
小题1:B in danger“处于危险中”;in action“在积极活动中,在运转中”;in trouble“处于困境”;in charge“负责,掌管”。此处用in action表示“只是看着妈妈不停地忙活,作者就很疲惫了。”故选B项。
小题1:D come back“回来”;close down“停业,关闭”;go by“(时间)过去,经过”;open up“开启,开创”。听了妈妈的话,作者的整个世界豁然开朗。故选D项。
小题1:A 由下文的seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements可知此处应用hope表示“作者满怀希望去生活”。故选A项。
小题1:B description“描述”;statement“陈述”;praise“赞美,表扬”;introduction“介绍”。由第三段第一句中的that statement可知此处应选择statement。故选B项。
小题1:D secretly“秘密地”;curiously“好奇地”;carelessly“粗心地”;eagerly“热切地,渴望地”。由于妈妈话语的激励,所以作者也渴望接受挑战。故选D项。
小题1:A 由上文的You did it.可知此处应选择doing与did呼应。故选A项。 |

Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes mostly because they misunderstand the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion.” or “I’ll be happy when I earn that extra 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could add if you want.
This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you prepare to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “I’ll be happy when…”
It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response — rather, it is a stimulus.
Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives. For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want — we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy.
I have made only one simple rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. Therefore, I tend to have a lot of good (and happy) days continually.
小题1:The second paragraph mainly tells us that people seek happiness_______.A．in the same way | B．in different ways | C．by working hard | D．by taking drugs |
小题2: What does the underlined phrase “This thinking” refer to?| A．The thinking of being promoted. | | B．The giving up of happiness. | | C．The process and journey of finding happiness. | | D．The misunderstanding of happiness. |
小题3:The underlined word “stimulus” in para.4 probably means_______.| A．something causes an action | B．somethin g helps to expand | | C．attention | D．improvement |
小题4: The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to________.| A．tell people how to enjoy happiness | | B．encourage people to seek happiness | | C．express his attitude towards happiness | | D．criticize the wrong ideas about happiness |

I suppose that having been brought up in the countryside and close to animals，it wasn’t remarkable(不平常的)when I decided to become a vet(兽医)．Luckily I was also good at all the necessary science subjects. So after the college entrance examination I found myself at a veterinary college，training to look after animals in all kinds of situations. I hoped that I would be able to work in the research field so that I could find cures for animal diseases.
Much to my surprise，I found public health care was a very important aspect of my course. This is an area of animal medicine where a vet’s work has many things in common with the work of a doctor of human diseases. I particularly liked it because I recognized that the study of animal diseases can help human medicine. As we know，many infectious diseases come from animals—including SARS and bird flu.
Some of the infections have only been understood after carefully analytical work in labs by animal doctors. They helped identify the animal source for diseases such as SARS. They were also the first to identify various kinds of viruses. Sometimes vets are also able to suggest a cure for human illnesses. When I found this out I was determined to make public health medicine my chosen career.
After graduation，I applied for a job in public health. Soon I found myself concerned with the problem of bird flu. This is an illness that attacks birds，but humans can catch the disease if they are in close contact with infected birds. Though the job is dangerous，it makes me proud that vets and other animal disease researchers are in the front line helping to fight these unknown human diseases
小题1:The writer wanted to become a vet mainly because______.| A．he did well in all necessary subjects | | B．he wanted to help animals | | C．he was close to animals in his early life | | D．he wanted to find cures for human diseases |
小题2:What made the writer particularly like the course of public health care was that________.| A．it was both important and interesting | | B．it could help him connect many human diseases with animals | | C．it made a vet’s work very much like a doctor’s | | D．it could help human medicine by studying animal diseases |
小题3:What can be followed if this passage continues?| A．The writer’s happy family life. | | B．How the writer did research work in studying bird flu. | | C．How the writer dealt with the relationship with other workmates. | | D．What difficulty the writer met in the research work. |
小题4:Which of the following is implied in the passage?| A．Animals with infectious diseases should be killed. | | B．Keeping animals is dangerous to humans. | | C．Dangerous as a vet’s job is，it is significant to the human race. | | D．Animal researchers work in the same way as human doctors. |
小题5:Which of the following statements is NOT true?| A．Being a vet is helpful to both animals and humans. | | B．Vets can cure both animals and humans. | | C．Vets helped identify animal resources for SARS. | | D．Both SARS and bird flu are infectious diseases coming from animals. |

When I was fourteen I was hit by a car and I felt almost senseless from the waist down．I spent the next four years 36 a back support．I began running seven days a week to 37 my muscles （肌肉）．It was exhausting but I 38 before I graduated from high school．
When I was thirty-one, I was in 39 car accident in which my legs were seriously injured．The 40 told me that their goal was to get me to walk "__41 " but that I would never run again．Stubborn and _42_ , however, I set out to rebuild my leg muscles to support my knees through my own personalized 43 program． The fact was that it took me two years to learn how to walk and nine and a half years to run again．

Finally, my hard efforts 52 ．I crossed the finish line of the LA Marathon, strong and solid．
I’m often asked why I run, to which I always 53 ,"I run because I can．" I 54 myself that the aches and pains I experience while training and racing are 55 , compared to the suffering those whom I admire must bear．This is why I run．

My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that 21 men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them, 22 , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life 23 the fullest.
Recently, John lost his 24 Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last 25 . One day John took out a folded piece of 26 from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he 27 up some drawers at home.
It was a 28 love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地写，乱涂) about her dream guy. 29 the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who 30 only had a few months left to live.
It was 31 a beautiful recipe (处方，食谱) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s 32 of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”
“Helped me when I was ill.” The next 33 reads. After that she turned 34 the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has 35 with and loved most in her life. “ 36 there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote 37 all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”
I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to 38 as Janet was to him. I need to 39 what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.
“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness? How do I know 40 I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”
“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”
