I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care. What I 36 most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 37 ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to 38 his family as cold. When we got into the 39 to go home, his father suddenly appeared. 40 , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he was a caring man through the glass. I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 41 me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant 42 or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his 43 me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 44 morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 45 him. When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 46 . For example, I always return phone calls 47 and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the 48 : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 49 as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I 50 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 51 at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 52 . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends. Far too often, I ignored their 53 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 54 . Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 55 other persons, love signs.

解析
本文为夹叙夹议文。表达关爱的方式因人而异,作者起初总是以自己跌标准和方式评价别人关爱与否,由此产生了一系列的误解和烦恼。生活中一次次的经历最终让她明白我们要互相理解,因为表达关爱的方式因人而异。 小题1:根据上下文得知作者起初以自己的方式评价别人的爱,以为别人的方式都不正确、不合理,包括男朋友父母的、自己父亲的和朋友的,因此此处提到男朋友父母的表达方式应为作者起初不欣赏和不喜欢的,故排除B、C、D三项。句意为:“对于拜访我男朋友的父母,我记忆(remember)最多的是起居室闹钟的滴答声。” 小题1:由后面的“With so little conversation”可知,我们吃饭时很少说话,故用silently。 小题1:regard…as…意为“把……看作/当作……”。由于方式不一样,作者把男朋友家人的少言寡语当成冷漠。 小题1:由后文父亲为儿子“wash windscreen”可知他们是开车回去的,故选C项。 小题1:punctually“准时地”;carefully“细心地,耐心地”;proudly“自豪地”;coldly“冷漠地”。作者原来以为男朋友父亲很冷漠,而现在却感受到了他的caring“有爱心的,关爱人的”,能够改变其看法的应该是细心地(carefully)擦车这一动作,故选B项。 小题1:根据后文“when I answered the phone”得出答案。 小题1:父亲电话中指导作者如何买东西而没有令人愉悦的问候(greeting),曾经这也是作者对父亲的误解原因。meeting“开会”;apology“道歉”;explanation“解释,说明”,均不符合语境。 小题1:从前面的 No pleasant 42 or inquiry about my life, 说明爸爸的方式让我生气.从后文“we often quarreled”也可以看出。选B 小题1:从上文父亲的电话可知电话很短(short),故排除A,也没有温暖的话,排除C项,更没有礼貌,排除D,选B. 小题1:根据上句I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 44 morning calls.得知下次他让我买股票我自然要感谢(thanked)他了.选D. 小题1:由前句When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends得知作者的社交方式和朋友不同而失望.选D 小题1:从下面的句子:I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails.说明朋友和作者的表达方式不一样,所以作者是及时(without delay)回电话.选C 小题1:从后面的: She wasn’t a good friend!说明是作者对朋友做出的评价.选C 小题1:“My anger 49 as the holidays approached”与But then…构成转折关系,But then…所在的一句及后文说明作者改变了对朋友的看法,故前面作者的观点依然是否定的,“My anger disappeared/helped/declined”都说明作者不再生气,和后文构不成转折关系,故选B项。 小题1:朋友通过参加作者举办的聚会一事改变了作者的看法,此处动词的宾语为a gathering,A、D两项搭配不合理,B项不符合事实,故C项准确。 小题1:作者的朋友通过自己的方式表现出了其独特的关爱,让作者吃惊(shocked),从而改变了他的看法,故选D项。 小题1:一旦改变了看法,作者便对自己以前认为朋友是“没爱心的”(uncaring)感到后悔和愧疚了,故选A项。 小题1:概括上文,作者回忆自己以前没有注意到人人都有独特的(unique)关爱方式(way),后文中however也对本题答案起到了提示作用。 小题1:参考53题解析。 小题1:由起初的误解他人到最后学会领会/读懂(read)人们传达爱的方式,回应文章的开头,总结全文,故答案为B项。 |

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other 36 , including her "sixth sense", that she rarely gives the impression she’s 37 anything. Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, 38 that she doesn’t push too hard on them, 39 really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, she moves around so fast that often 40 don’t realize she’s blind. I 41 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very 42 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was 43 excited about her finger-painting project."Mom, guess what?" said Kayla, all smiles. "I learned how to 44 colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle 45 with us. To my great 46 , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, "Michelle told me my 47 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really 48 what I was doing!" Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt 49 Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper. I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never 50 in conversation. When I told her, she was 51 for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. "But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!" Kayla 52 . And I knew my child was 53 because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla’s 54 in her work. We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, "You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my 55 ." Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

“Where is the bus? Why is it always late?” I asked myself. I was going to be late 36 the manager wasn’t going to be pleased. “Thank God, here it is!” The bus came round the corner and I got on. Ten minutes later I was walking into the 37 where I work. “Twenty-five past nine. I 38 the manager doesn’t notice.” But I was not 39. “Smith!” shouted the manager. “Late again. What’s your 40 this time?” “I am afraid the bus was late, Mr. Brown.” “41 up earlier tomorrow! Anyway, go to your place at the counter(柜台). We’ll be opening in a few minutes.” My first customer was a pretty girl wearing a red dress. 42 her was a young man of about 23. He seemed very 43 , and every few seconds he looked towards the main entrance. The girl drew some money and 44 about opening an account.
