【答案与解析】
【本文要点】本文为记叙文,叙述了在一场雷雨引发房屋火灾之后,Sibson如何自救,以及他的邻居Huggons如何帮他脱离险境的惊心动魄的故事。
21. A 此句句意为:在Sibson还不知道发生什么事情的时候,便被一声雷鸣震醒。此处before表示“还来不及…就…”。
22. D “暴风雨直袭他的两层木屋”,暴风雨应该是从房屋上方袭来,故用over。
23. C 根据后文“他打开通向地下室的门”可以判断Sibson冲下楼梯的目的是“查看一下”到底发生了什么事情。
24. D 他打开地下室的门,火焰从里面喷发出来。此处explode out意为break out(突然爆发)。
25. A 根据此句中“因为这个房间有一个通向屋外的独立的楼梯”,因此他当时感觉应该是“安全的”。
26. B 当他正想通过那个楼梯出去的时候,却被一堵火墙给阻拦(stop),故用B。
27. B 根据前面“three kilometres”及后文“so well hidden by trees”可知他的房子应该是离开主干道有3公里。故用介词off。
28. C 由于离开主干道3公里且被树所遮蔽,因此呼救是没有结果的(fruitless),故选C。
29. A 突然他听到了像烟雾警报器之类的声音。strike one’s ears“传进某人的耳朵;突然听到”。
30. D 根据后文Huggons拨打911可知,他是带上了他的电话。故选D。
31. A Huggons应该是朝着他所听到的声音方向而去。故选A。
32. B 警察应该是警告Huggons不要进入Sibson的房子。故选enter。
33. C Huggons说他不能听到Sibson的拼命叫喊。应使用scream。
34. A Huggons进入房子,但由于烟雾很大,他很快不得不跑回来“喘口气”。此处catch one’s breath意为“喘口气”,故答案选A。
35. D 在又一次打算进入房子的尝试之后,Huggons最后还是放弃了,绕着圈子回来了。此处应使用attempt(尝试)。
36. B 由于烟雾很大,Huggons应该是摸索着绕着从房子里面出来的,故选B。
37. C 当风将烟雾吹得足够的分散,以致他能够看到Sibson。此处part表示将…分开,因此不能用open,因此答案选C。
38. D 他用电筒往丛林中照。此处shine the flashlight为固定说法,意为“用电筒照”。故选D。
39. C Huggons将梯子搭在房子上,将Sibson从二楼拽下来。此时二楼房子就要倒了,为了形容动作之快,故用pull。
40. D 根据后文Sibson自己所说的话“我当天晚上是一个人。然后我听到了我生命中最美丽的声音,是Huggons。”可知,他对Huggons心存感激。故选D。

【点评】
2011年高考英语浙江卷完形填空部分原文节选于读者文摘(Reader'sDigest)澳大利亚版,考题略有删节,并替换掉原文中超过高考范围的词汇,采取同义词替换的手段使原文表述通畅。所选文章延续历年出题模式,以记叙文为题材,选取作者在生命中不平凡的阶段受到陌生人帮助的事实,歌颂和赞扬人间真情和助人的美德。
【解析】
21题,属于上文提示法,首句中出现ill,此选项应是ill的同义表达,故选D.sickness。
22题,属于上文提示法,上句出现病情可以manageable,所以作者应该是享受那段过去的美好时光,故选B.enjoyed。此选项在2009年全国一卷完形填空部分第41题出现过,且也为正确选项。
23题,属于下文解释法,下文出现发生改变,结合首句作者生病,可推出作者表达的是不幸的情绪,故选C.unfortunately。此选项为高考完形填空中的的高频选项。
24题,属于转折对比法,上文出现yearsago和changed,因此推出此题应回归现实,故选A.now。此选项在2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第37题出现过,且也为正确选项。
25题,属于固定搭配法,addupto总计,makeupfor弥补,补偿,getridof处理,摆脱,takeadvantageof利用,此题应选B.makeupfor。此选项考生不应陌生,2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第21题D选项曾出现过此词,可见背历年考题中的选项部分的重要性。
26题,属于逻辑关系法,此法多用于句子与句子之间,解决连词的问题。此题因为作者下午需要睡觉,所以受到限制。故选B.As。
27题,属于上文解释法,第三段首句提到作者打算做某事,但由于病情,下午需要睡觉,所以选择受限,故选C.choices。
28题,属于前后照应法,上文提到过几年之前唱歌的事实,此处再次出现要去唱歌,故选D.goingback。
29题,属于中文代入法,全家都是音乐家,所以走进音像店会被认出,故选A.recognized。
30题,属于AandB法,这是并列结构,要求前后词性与词义要相似,几乎在每年的高考完形中都会考查这个知识点。本题and之前说东西很贵,之后理应推出没有足够的钱,故选A.money。
31题,属于反义多一对,即四个选项中有一组反义词,答案多在这组反义词中出现。此题C和D构成反义结构,根据文章信息,故选D.often。

35题,属于固定搭配法,店主带领作者穿过拥挤的店铺,从空间穿过,故选D.through。
36题,属于感情色彩法,此法多用于解决形容词或副词。下文出现treasure,因此可以推出店主对自己的宝物爱不释手,心爱地触摸,故选B.lovingly。

38题,属于语法识别法,近几年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化语法点考查,一般只会涉及一道。C.shouldhavecried,本应该做的事情而没有做,放在原文中过于牵强,而本题是作者受到店主的感激,非常感动,本可以哭但没有哭,故选D.couldhavecried。
39题,属于寻找重复法,31题与32题之前曾出现onlythreetofoursongs...canuse,对应...couldsing,故选B.theones。

完形填空还是秉承一贯的风格,记叙文体。本文选自一个短篇故事‘ A Village on the Road'(沿途上的村庄)中的前5段。和2008年陕西高考完形风格类似,不断出现角色呼应等结构。咱们日新学员只需用课堂上讲过的技巧,抓住首段中主调色彩,必备角色的心理活动到具体行为的合理过度,再加上联系选项中词语辨析,感情色彩辨析,词语搭配修饰,应对今年的完形填空应该比较轻松。具体分析如下:
26题选problems,与首句中的poverty行成合理替换。
27题根据从句语境,以及第42空后面的 travelling结构在现,应该选travelling.
28题根据文章主调色彩选poor.
29题典型因果关系,选so
30题代词指代加动词短语share sth out,选they指代前面的gold and jewels.
31题根据平行结构,就可知poverty是worrying situation.
32题复现原则加呼应结构选 the villagers.
33题根据他的行为可以判断选情态动词could表能够。
34题根据他给这些村民食物和饮品就可判断出他能够明白钱对这些村民几乎无用。
35.题词汇辨析,村民收到东西,选 received.
36题词汇辨析,last维持,够用。稍有难度。
37题短语辨析加动作顺序选speeded up.
38题具体环境选village.
39题貌似纯粹考语法了,选how.
40题语境,色彩对比,第三个富人缺乏同情心(lacked sympathy), 他们两个人提供帮助了肯定好(good).
41题其他选项风马牛不相及,正常一点,选 met。
42 题副词辨析选still.
43题根据此句后半句were now full of farming tools and bags,应该选instead of.
44题词汇辨析加主语判断,这里的 they指富人们,所以只能选carrying.
45题 and并列原则,根据farming tools(农具),选seeds(种子)最合适。

36. A 根据前面的句子可知,男孩并不是很喜欢吃水果,因此如果要他选择的话,他更喜欢吃一块巧克力。
37. C 根据下面的句子“禁果诱人”可判断,上下文之间是转折关系,所以选择but。

42. C 每次跳到最高的时候,小男孩就伸长了胳膊去够苹果。at the top of在……顶部或顶端。

49. B 没有办法摘到苹果,小男孩只好失望地走开。walk away走开。
50. C 根据上文可知,小男孩做了很多努力,因此耗尽了力气,觉得又累又饿。
51. A 此处表示他越是这样想,就越觉得不开心。
52. B 根据上下文内容可知,此处存在的是转折关系,所以选择however“然而,可是”。
53. D 根据下文内容可知,小男孩开始理智地看待自己遇到的问题,觉得生气、失望、难过等都没有帮助,不能从根本上解决问题。
54. D 结合上文内容可知,小男孩清醒地认识到自己已经没有其他法子可用了,苹果也不会得到了。
55. A 小男孩的反省也是文章主题的升华:面对无法解决的问题,我们可以做到的就是改变自己的情感态度。

第三节 完形填空
【总体评析】最近几年来的完形填空试题材料选材上,都力图选取一篇有教育意义和现实实用价值的文章。受到更多先进快捷媒体比如internet
的冲击的现状,作者通过回顾和现状事实的对比描述,也表达了自己的担忧:未来书信何去何从?通常来讲,这样的文量均会是一篇记叙文或者一个与生活有关的一些经历描述:这篇文章就是亦属于与生活相关:这是一篇教育性或倡导性文章:通过描述自己与哥哥的交往变化来倡导书信在交流中的重要性作者措述了一个有趣的事实:在相聚中,自己与哥哥相处不好,忽视了它的优点:但是分开后.多亏了没有现代化的交通工具…电话、email.所以只能写信.再次展现哥哥的品质,所以连作者本人都发出感叹: “Because we live in an age of easy communication(通讯),people often forget that they don’t always have to phone or email. They have a choice . And that is to write.”(因为我们生活在通讯工具便捷的时代,人们难免会忘掉我们不必总得用电话或电子邮件联系,我们还有另一种选择,那就是写信。)
这样的记叙思路恰好是全国卷高考英语命题的潜在思想,达到了教育性
启迪性的目的。
该试题的难度和前几年相比,难度相当;用词选项方面,都间接考查了构词法:reread, deepem等,类似于去年的acceptance,难度上略微有所增加。
详细解析
21. D
解析:前文有enjoy, read,不可能是received 或 returned, 只能是“重读”。Rewritten表示“重写”
22. C 表示保持两人的友谊
23. A 根据后文举例说明,故用give an example
24. C get through通过,完成; get together 聚会,聚焦; get along 相处; get away走开,离开
25. B Children 与后面的grow apart呼应
26. C 根据后文的our conversation was filled with arguments and quarrels,推理出“不愉快”,选择pleasant
27. A 根据情感变化是“加深误解”,故选用deepen,该题主要考构词法
28. D 搬家,迁居,move to some place
29. A 失去联系lose touch with sb.
30. B 根据上下文,鼓励我写信 encourage me to write
31. A. drive 驾驶;驱动;驱赶。这里是为他的语言文字所驱使或驱动之意。
32. D 忆往昔,曾几何时,这些品质恰是我尊重哥哥的原因。Once 曾经
33. C 但“认为”他不再具备这些品质。Thought说明过去的想法
34. A 强调写信的好
35. D 我们再一次成为朋友。Again“再一次,又”
36. D 整句话是虚拟语气,“如果哥哥去的地方不是因为没有电话,他将不会给我写信”是哥哥的身上发生的事高考 资 源网
37. C 同36题
38. B 当代是通讯发达的年代,故选easy,表示便捷的意思。
39. D 根据文章,人们忘掉了这一点(参考总体评析)。此处提醒人们要记得并非必须用电话、电子邮件才能交流

So I 31 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 32 with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were 33 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 34 them that they couldn’t open their presents 35 every child had come forward.

“Early on I decided not to allow the 36 of others to stop me from becoming a musician. I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began 37 piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion (酷爱) for music grew. But I also began to gradually lose my 38 .Doctors concluded that the nerve damage was the 39 and by age twelve, I was completely deaf.

I play in my stocking feet and can 43 the pitch of a note (音调高低) by the vibrations (振动) I feel through my body and through my 44 .My entire sound world exists by making use of almost every 45 that I have.”
“I was 46 to be assessed as a musician, not as a deaf musician, and I applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London. No other deaf student had 47 this before and some teachers 48 my admission. Based on my performance, I was
49 admitted and went on to 50 with the academy’s highest honours.”
“After that, I established myself as the first fulltime solo percussionist. I
51 and arranged a lot of musical compositions since 52 had been written specially for solo percussionists.”
“I have been a soloist for over ten years. 53 the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didn’t 54 that my passion couldn’t be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be 55 by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart. They will lead you to the place you want to go.”

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could 36 tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he 37 in class.
When I took the first exam, I was 38 to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, 39 English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained_ 40 .

One more test before the final exam. One more 44 to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, 45 the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my 46__ did no good and everything 47 as before.
The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what 48 I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 49 goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 50 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have 51__with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He 52__ to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you 53 , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”
I stared at him, 54 that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head 55 , as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything 49 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, 50 to be angry again. This is what she told me:
“I was looking 51 thinking of what to buy, and I 52 to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees’.One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she 53 for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and 54 the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”

50 quarters and a dollar and said, “75 cents makes four dollars, plus one dollar makes five.” Things went more 51 after that.
By the end of the day, I could remember orders, 52 the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. I was even a little 53 when the sun came out and dried up business.

highway at 85mph 17 we realized we were 18 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $ 20 bill. I was so 19 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 20 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 21 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table.

This reflects (反映) the saying, “A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “ 35 ” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

Now, on the road, I played Mother’s game again. I took in the all-green 39 . Thick forests lined both sides of the highway. The long hill pines and spruce were seen 40 . Maple leaves danced in the gentle wind. I felt like a little girl again— 41 by beautiful things.
Later in the 42 , after we crossed the Upper Peninsula and drove into Canada, I found the bright 43 plants I had been looking for. But by then I’d already seen a million shades of __44 , the infinite variety and beauty that only our heavenly Father can 45 . And that we can always find—if we look closely enough.

Dash of Hope
"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we've spent alive on earth.Therefore, how you spend your "dash" is important.
Recently I 36 about a little girl named Hope.After learning more about her life, I couldn't help but feel it was not by 37 , nor happenstance, that she had been named "Hope".The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity 38 in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others. 39 I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had.It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special.
Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was 40 a "wish" in early December 2010 by the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation after being 41 that she had a rare type of bone cancer.However, when she found out that more than 150 42 in her area were waiting for their wishes to be granted (实现) , she unselfishly used her wish to 43 that those children have their wishes granted.She also asked tW it be done 44 January 16, 2011.Unfortunately,
however, the organization informed her that her 45 request could not be granted as the funds (资金) were simply 46 .They calculated that they would need to raise more than one 47 dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish. 48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring 49 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually 50 as well.Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51 the story of this caring young girl who had 52 the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged.Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 53 money to help make Hope's dream come true.
Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 54 , but spiritually and emotionally as well.At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January 16, 2011 , the 55 was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars.Her wish had been granted!

A few years ago I was days away from the world trip I had been planning for 6 months. I decided to go out with two of my friends to have a 31 drink. The first half of the evening was filled with them 32 me about safety in foreign countries and telling me to be 33 in all the dangerous places I was visiting. As the night progressed we all got very drunk and rude 34 it was the last time we would see each other for some time. Come closing time at about 1 am, we walked 35 out of the pub and began to make our way home.
As we were making our way through the risky neighborhood, five random robbers jumped out of a lane and for no apparent reason began to 36 me and my friends. Luckily a large group of slightly nicer individuals appeared on the scene and came to our aid, 37 the robbers away.
Apart from a few cuts and stolen mobile phones, no one was too badly hurt and within a few minutes we were 38 about the whole suffering. However, what happened next wasn’t so funny (for me at least).
As we 39 our walk home a police car pulled up and a group of officers 40 and surrounded us. We began to explain that we were all right and there was no need to give any statement, but we were all told to 41 up. Two particularly large officers then 42 me and threw me in the back of the car, before ordering my friends home. I was still a little drunk and before I could 43 what was happening I was in a police station being told to empty my pockets. Following some brief questions and being informed that I was 44 for attack, I was thrown in a cell and told I would be 45 tomorrow.
I spent the night worrying that in my 46 confusion I had hit and hurt someone, however these worries were put to rest in the morning when a kind elderly officer entered my cell with a blanket and a cup of tea. A few minutes later I was being handed back my 47 and having antiseptic cream(消毒膏) put on my black eye. It turned out that one of the gang who jumped me and my friends resembled me and was wearing 48 clothes, leading the police to 49 me for him when looking at CCTV footage. After a few awkward 50 I was told that they needed the cell space so I had to leave. They didn’t even offer me the bus fare home. The funniest part? I still have the arrest document that says:

Like most July days, it was hot. I stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to 36 with a chocolate ice-cream. It was a very 37 store with little round tables and chairs.

The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident(进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question 36 more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded, was 37 . When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just 38 or better than any other surgeon” — then, and not until then, you are 39 a surgeon. I was 40 that point.
41 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night. The first few months of the year I had 42 the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decision to be 43 . Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular 44 , I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d 45 all the facts of the case and, often, wonder 46 I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the 47 , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of 48 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only 49 I could find the 50 of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency, 51 was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to 52 this as a constant problem for a surgeon. I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I’d made was bound to be a 53 one. It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited(自负的) and I guess it is — 54 a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothered by the 55 and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he’s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit — call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.
36. A. at B. in C. on D. for
37. A. self-service B. self-centered C. self-reliant D. self-confidence
38. A. as good as B. as well as C. as far as D. as long as

When I was about five years old, I used to watch a bird in the skies of southern Alberta from the Blackfoot Blood Reserve in northern Montana where I was born.I loved this bird; I would 36 him for hours.He would 37 effortlessly in that gigantic sky, or he would come down and light on the 38 and float there beautifully.Sometimes when I watched him, he would not make a sound and liked to move 39 into the grasses.We called him meksikatsi, which in the Blackfoot language 40 “pink-colored feet”; meksikatsi and I became very good friends.
The bird had a very particular significance to me 41 I desperately wanted to be able to fly too.I felt very much as if I was the kind of person who had been born into a world where 42 was impossible.And most of the things that I 43 about would not be possible for me but would be possible only for other people.
When I was ten years old, something unexpected 44 my life suddenly.I found myself become an 45 child in a family I was not born into; I found myself in a 46 position that many native Americans find themselves in, living in a city that they do not understand at all, not in another culture but 47 two cultures.
A teacher of the English language told me that meksikatsi was not called meksikatsi, even though that is what 48 people have called that bird for thousands of years.Meksikatsi, he said, was really “duck”.I was very 49 with English.I could not understand it.First of all, the bird did not look like “duck”, and when it made a 50 , it did not sound like “duck”, I was even more 51 when I found out that the meaning of the verb “to duck” came from the bird.
As I 52 to understand English better, I understand that it made a great deal of 53 , but I never forgot that meksikatsi made a different kind of meaning.I 54 that languages are not just different words for the same things but totally different 55 , totally different ways of experiencing and looking at the world.

Last weekend, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car.My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 31 other people’s cars as well.It was pretty 32 outside and I had no plans to 33 being in the bright sun.She 34 wanted to give lemonade(柠檬汽水)to passers-by for free.I had seen little kids 35 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free.Although I felt 36 , I decided to help her.
37 she asked me, “What if we 38 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and 39 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 40 ideas.While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n) 41 with beautiful images of smiles.They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the 42 of their exercise was “smile”.It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 43 to do something for others.
All that seemed 44 and came right from their heart.Nothing seemed to 45 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 46 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 47 to help clean cars.Passers-by were 48 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused.A pretty heartwarming 49 !
I feel blessed by being 50 by such wonderful and loving souls.

Blogs allow readers to post comments. There were millions of blogs out there, so I 36 expected anyone to read mine, 37 respond. But almost immediately they did. Twelve messages were 38 after my first entry. I went to the library five times that day—each time there were more.
The next morning I couldn’t wait to get up and hurry to the library. 39 I told my story. It gave structure and a purpose to my day.

A young woman in a 32 suit was coming toward him, her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as flowers.

He did not hesitate and said, "I’m John, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so 36 you could meet me; may I take you to 37 ?"
The woman smiled, “I don’t know what this is about, son,” she answered, “but the young lady in the green suit begged me to 38 this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me

“I am so proud of you and all you have achieved. I 21 your opinion from. The L. A. Times with my family and thought about you as my student at Hibbing High School.”
It was 22 Margarel Leibfried, — a teacher who helped me believe that I could become 23 .
Thirty years ago, in Hibbing, I 24 high school as a bookish introvert(内向)made all the more shy because I was the school’s only non—while student. I always felt 25 being swept away by a sea of golden hair schoolmates. By 10th grade, I’d developed strange behavior, hoping to 26 being laughed at as a “brain”. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories.
Ms. Leibfried taught composition grammar, as well as the usual – memorizing vocabulary and reading 27 .
Exciting to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my 28 in both reading and writing, and she took the time to draw me out; she 29 offered reading suggestions.
That year’s big task was a book report, to be read aloud to 30 . 31 , Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report. I was to 32 a passage from a book, memorize it and reeite it in front of the class.
The morning of the presentations, I remember 33 sweating(出汗)so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I held my hands 34 in prayer(祈祷)formation, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my shirt. I finished and, 35 , the class broke out in applause(鼓掌). “As a writer and a good reader, Marie has 36 a particularly sensitive part of novel and 37 it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident.
I can now appreciate how much 38 it must have taken for those teachers to let me move away so 39 from the lesson plan. With today’s pressure on teachers to “teach to the test,” I wonder if any would or could take the time to find the potential(潜力)in a single, 40 student. Good teaching helps make productive and fully realized adults – a result that won’t show up in each term’s test scores.

LAST weekend, I helped my friend Alex get money for poor children at Crossroads Mall He 36 needed volunteers, especially of the female. I decided that this was a pretty good 37 , so the next day I got ready to go.
I arrived at Crossroads about five minutes 38 , and helped Alex and 39 of the volunteers.

I did not 43 asking people for donations. In fact, I’m usually one of those people who try to 44 those boring stands and ask you for a little contribution. For heaven’s sake, I can contribute to a few, 45 I cannot alone 46 every single cause in the world!
I really didn’t like the idea of asking anyone for donations to our cause. 47 , I watched my friends speak to the strangers, and noticed that they were extra polite to everyone—no matter whether they 48 . I realized that 49 I wasn’t pushy(强求的), it would be okay, and my conscience could be 50 .
I pasted on a large smile, and started asking people passing by. My mouth tripped over words, and I continually said “um” while I thought of the correct terms. 51 I talked to more and more people. Not only improved, but also started noticing small 52 . Instead of saying “donate”, which made most people walk away 53 .I started suing the word “contribute”. I added the phrase “every little bit counts”, and people started to donate small amounts in larger quantities. As the day went on, I learned how to pull on the hearts of the 54 , and I became a successful fundraiser.
At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and 55 how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.

I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I've seen so many of them.One day,a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old.“There’s a 36 in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it's nothing,but he 37 I come to see you”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would 38 to add something,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything herself.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the
39 of her mouth.A careful examination later 40 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment,I explained to her the 41 of the problem She clasped my
hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just 42 .”
I thought otherwise.After considerable 43 on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to 44 me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected, 45 treatment.
About six months later she returned to my office,still energetic and 46 .
“How are you?”I asked.
“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded 47 high spirits.“When can I get stared on fixing
my dentures(假牙)?”

see about it. ”
I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had 49 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness 50 .
I had read of such things happening,but had 51 seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I've seen many others,because they keep getting 52 to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are n miracle, 53 through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to 54 the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle,I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it.

Nikko told me that Diane had 37 everything about her dad on her blog, so I 38 right up from bed and got to her blog instantly. Her blog, always so 39 and nice, is suddenly filled with sorrow and grief.
She must have been writing with 40 streaming down her cheeks, with eyes so 41 from the sleepless night, and with a heart so 42 and regretful and yet, she wrote the post, full of determination and will, 43 strength and love.

Passage 10
(拉萨中学2010届高三第七次月考试题)
In February 2006, I flew into Beijing from Shanghai to watch a performance by Iceland’s Bjork and to interview her.
Some people find it difficult to 36 Bjork’s music. Her sound is an acquired taste, but 37 you get into it, you’re hooked. After the 38 press conference, I was 39 to a room where we did a one-on-one 40 for radio. I was surprised at how intelligent and pleasant she was. And fun.
The 41 at Worker’s Stadium was unbelievably wonderful. Barefoot for most of the show, Bjork 42 the audience’s interest with her music and her spirit.
However, an incident gave me an impression that she was unusual and moody.
The next day I was invited to go to the Great Wall with a lot of 43 who were to take pictures of Bjork. She was with her son and did not seem to be in the 44 for the photographers. She stood and stared at the ground, not facing the 45 .
Then suddenly, she ran off to the 46 , out to her waiting bus, and sped back to Beijing. It was strange to see since she had been so 47 with the press a few days before.
After leaving Beijing, she went on to perform in Hong Kong and Thailand. In a story that 48 around the world, she jumped on and attacked a female reporter at the Bangkok airport who 49 said, “Welcome to Thailand!”
You may have seen her at the Academy Awards a few years ago when she 50 in that usual swan costume, 51 perhaps her performance of Oceania at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Greece Olympics. Bjork does demand attention.
She’s 52 a new album, Volta. She challenges us to enter her own world with every album, and this one is no 53 .
Working with a variety of producers, including Timbaland, she takes us into her music again with an artistic 54 . It is 55 to digest, but if you can appreciate her unusual efforts, you will have a lot to get into.

(江西省重点中学盟校2010届高三第二次联考)
Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I 36 teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I 37 the same things thousand and one times, do not 38 me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story 39 you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a 40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I 41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my 42 little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you 43 to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the 44 of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you 45 to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well 46 I need to and when not. When my 47 legs do not allow me to walk, give me your 48 , the same way I did when you gave your first 49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to 50 any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, 51 my mistakes, I always wanted the 52 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me 53 you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 54 living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and 55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son

Oh God! I think I was about seven when my sisters and I pulled this stupid stunt(惊险动作).
I remember we were watching TV when we heard my 36 , Chris, shouting from the backyard. We all 37 out to see what happened. 38 we finally located him, he was in a tree 39 from the highest tree branch. Crying, he explained he had climbed up the tree and couldn’t get down. One of us should climb up but we couldn’t 40 to get him moving down.
Luckily, my youngest sister, Ka, five then, had seen a(n) 41 situation. She suggested we grab a 42 , hold it under the branch, and tell him to 43 so we could catch him. My other sister, Yams, one year younger than me, looked at me eagerly to 44 her idea and I said “Yeah, let’s try that.”
Immediately we 45 a sheet and held it beneath the tree. Now mind you, the ages holding this blanket were 46 from seven to five, thus the sheet was probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. But we were 47 it could work.
Chris, my brother, aged four, looked down at us with hesitation, asking in a 48 voice, “Are you sure I’ll land on the blanket?” But because of a problem at 49 with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out like this, “Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?” “Yup!” I told him, “We’re sure!” and he let go.
How 50 he was to trust us! And no matter how 51 we held, Chris fell right 52 that sheet and landed on his stomach. This tiny seventy-pound boy had made a big 53 right in the sheet!
Because he wasn’t moving, we bent down to sense if he was still alive. Slowly, he u
ttered these five words, “Ah stee hi da flow!”, 54 , “I still hit the floor!” Poor little man!
Now Chris is fourteen and he still blames us about it. 55 , he wants to be a fireman when he grows up.

I ran as fast as I could. And the 46 I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet. I wouldn’t blame her for treating me like this for she was such a (an) 47 lady. She seemed even somewhat 48 at his leaving her alone, trying many ways to 49 the pains of losing him.
She 50 his pictures and clothes, she redecorated the whole house. Now I was the only 51 thing to remind her of him. 52 later, I am pretty sure that she would realize how mad she was to do this...

Passage 10
(陕西省宝鸡中学2009届高三第四次模拟考试)
I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember
something about the 21 celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not 22 much from the war there, though, like most children of my age, I often saw 23 houses in the streets and the very big 24 lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become 25 to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously, 26 had been better, though I was too young to understand why, 27 there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had 28 heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very 29 to me. I did not remember what London was like.
What I remember now 30 V-Day was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting 31 and building an enormous bonfire. We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and 32 myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.
It was May and still broad 33 when my mother arrived, and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to 34 the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street.

Passage 11
(北京市101中学2009届高三三模)
My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this 36 .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and 37 . All the students were working 38 a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no 39 of stopping. I walked down the row and found 40 was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my 41 , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on 42 I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” …… I felt it best not to 43 .
After another ten minutes, the students were 44 to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna
45 hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to 46 . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the 47 of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and 48 your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to 49 the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is 50 by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in 51 . Amen!”
She turned the students 52 and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the 53 of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student 54 and said, “I Can’t,” Donna 55 pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

“If you’re okay,” I said, “I think I’ll turn in.” Before I 30, I made sure the baby monitor was working.
“Good night, Nan,” I said. I 31 my stick and headed out the door. “See you tomorrow,” Nan called behind me. I locked the door and 32 my way home.
Several minutes 33 I heard a sound. It was Nan on the 34 . “Jim! Jim!” I heard over the monitor. “The house is 35 ! Help! ”
I went as 36 as I could to Debbie’s. I got to the front door. I could 37 a heavy, thick smoke. I put my hand on the doorknob(门把手), and reached for my key and 38 the door. “Here, Jim. Help!” Her voice was weak.
“Let’s get out of here!” I shouted. Grabbing her hand, I started to move on. I tapped with my cane 39 we found the front door. We felt our way down the steps, 40 in the sweet, fresh summer air, and to the gate of her yard. Thank you, Lord. We’re all safe.

Passage 19
(江西省师大附中2009届高三三模试卷)
It was a cold evening and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora did. She wasn’t even four, but she 36 at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, 37 we take him home?”
I don’t remember my reply. But I do remember a sudden 38 feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her 39 , whether it was 40 in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing 41 and beggary.
A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and 42 it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I 43 us up. Nora was 44 about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how 45 our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to 46 myself to leave the house. On the way to the school, I fought an urge to turn 47 . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting at home. Why do this? 48 , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She 49 us right over.
The building was in a sad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed. 50 inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged, I walked home in tears.
Professionals call such a(n) 51 “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities, I’ve
come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have opportunity to do something 52 that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve to needy people and 53 clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve 54 her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has 55 more?
