(2019·天津卷)
I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night,when fear seized me.My wallet was gone.I could only have left it on the G9 bus,which was now speeding in the dark to some __1.C__ station.
The __2.D__ moment was quickly followed by mental math.How much time and money would it cost to replace the __3.B__ of that little wallet?The credit cards,the driver's license,the cash,all lost to the bus.
Two hours later,back at my house,I heard a knock on the door.My husband __4.B__ it while I was on the phone in the dining room.“Does Jennifer live here?” I heard a lady say.In my husband's hand was my wallet,with not a penny __5.A__.She left before I could __6.D__ make it to the door to offer my thanks.
After sharing the story online,I heard from someone,who __7.C__ the lady as Erin Smith.Without __8.A__,I called to thank her.She said she __9.D__ my wallet on a bus seat.She __10.C__ that going to a stranger's house was a __11.B__ move,but she decided to take the chance.“If I were in that __12.C__,I would want someone to try to find me,”she said.
This one stranger responded beautifully to my small __13.A__,but she actually wasn't the only one.Right after Erin __14.D__ my wallet on the bus,she posted a picture of my driver's license to an online forum(论坛),trying to see __15.A__ anyone knew me.No sooner did she leave my doorstep than I had emails from two women whose kids go to my son's nursery and who recognized my face.I've never __16.B__ words with those moms beyond small talk,but they wanted to help.I read that people are more divided than ever,but that's not how the people I __17.A__ tend to act.
__18.C__,I feel blessed someone had wanted to help a stranger.Erin had gone __19.D__ what almost anyone would have done,finding my house on a bitterly cold night,and for that I was extremely __20.D__.
文章大意:主题:人与自我(做人与做事);话题:拾金不昧。本文是一篇记叙文,文章讲述了一位素不相识的女士在公交车上捡到作者的钱包,并根据钱包内的信息在寒冷的黑夜把钱包送到作者家中的故事。
1.A.accessible B.hidden
C.unknown D.convenient
解析:上文语境题。作者发现自己的钱包不见了的时候,G9公交车正在夜幕中(in the dark)快速行驶(was now speeding),这里表示公交车正驶向某一个(some)未知的(unknown)车站,因此选C。accessible可进入的;hidden被隐藏的;convenient便利的,均不符合此处的语境。
2.A.face-saving B.brain-washing
C.eye-catching D.heart-stopping
解析:上文语境题。前文说作者发现自己钱包丢失的时候感到害怕(fear seized me),复合形容词heart-stopping表示“令人非常害怕的”,与前文的fear在含义上是一致的,因此选D。face-saving保全面子的;brain-washing洗脑的;eye-catching引人注目的,均不符合此处的语境。
3.A.parts B.contents
C.details D.ingredients
解析:下文语境题。由后面提到的信用卡、驾照和现金可知,这里说的是作者在想,要把那个小钱包里的东西都更换需要花多少时间和金钱。这里用contents表示“所容纳之物”,指作者丢失的钱包里装的那些物品。part部分;detail细节;ingredient成分,均不符合此处的语境。
4.A.ignored B.answered
C.examined D.interrupted
解析:下文语境题。根据下文内容可知,这里说的是作者在餐厅打电话的时候有人来敲门,作者的丈夫去开的门(answer the door),因此选B。ignore忽视,不理睬;examine检查;interrupt打扰。
5.A.missing B.returned
C.remaining D.abandoned
解析:下文语境题。根据下文的陈述可知,此处表示“一分钱都没有少”,用形容词missing“丢失的”。
6.A.still B.ever
C.yet D.even
解析:上下文语境题。此处表示还没等作者到门口对来送钱包的人道谢,对方就已经走了,用副词even“甚至”强调出乎意料。
7.A.selected B.appointed
C.identified D.defined
解析:上下文语境题。当作者在网上分享了这个故事之后,她收到了某个人的来信,这个人确认了那位女士是Erin Smith。用identify表示“识别,认出”。
8.A.delay B.alarm
C.regret D.invitation
解析:下文语境题。当作者知道捡到自己的钱包并送到自己家的这位女士是谁之后,就毫不犹豫地给对方打电话表示感谢。without delay毫不耽搁地,符合此处的语境。alarm惊恐,惊慌;regret遗憾,后悔;invitation邀请,请柬。
9.A.moved B.placed
C.opened D.spotted
解析:上下文语境题。根据语境“在公交车的座位上”判断选spotted表示“看见,发现”。
10.A.disagreed B.complained
C.calculated D.recommended
解析:下文语境题。由文章最后一段中的on a bitterly cold night可知,那天晚上非常冷。同时,Erin又不认识作者,由此推知,对方当时在考虑是否要把钱包送到失主家,因此用calculate表示“预测,估计”。
11.A.selfless B.risky
C.slow D.personal
解析:下文语境题。下文中短语take the chance表示“冒险”,由此可知,这里说的是她觉得到陌生人的家里去会有点儿危险,因此选B项 risky “有危险的”。
12.A.site B.direction
C.situation D.atmosphere
解析:上下文语境题。Erin在为失主设身处地地考虑,用in that situation表示“处于那种境遇”,因此选C。site场所,地点;direction方向;atmosphere氛围。
13.A.crisis B.danger
C.threat D.failure
解析:上文语境题。本空指前文提到的作者丢失钱包这件事,从前文的fear判断这里用crisis表示“危机,危难”。danger危险;threat威胁;failure失败。
14.A.got rid of B.made use of
C.had control of D.took possession of
解析:上下文语境题。Erin在公交车上捡到作者丢失的钱包,因此用take possession of表示“拥有”。get rid of摆脱;make use of利用;have control of控制。
15.A.if B.where
C.how D.when
解析:上下文语境题。这里用if“是否”引导宾语从句表示疑问:Erin把作者的驾照照片发布到网上论坛中,看看是否有人认识作者。
16.A.recalled B.exchanged
C.repeated
C.whispered
解析:下文语境题。作者说自己跟那些妈妈们除了闲聊之外从来没有深入地交谈过。exchange words表示“交流,交谈”。recall回想起;repeat重复;whisper耳语。
17.A.encounter B.follow
C.consult D.accompany
解析:上下文语境题。作者说自己遇到的这些人与前面提到的那些人不一样,用动词encounter表示“遇到,遭遇”。follow跟随;consult咨询;accompany陪同。
18.A.Going away B.Turning around
C.Looking back D.Coming along
解析:上文语境题。作者在这里发表自己的感慨,用look back表示“回顾”。go away走开;turn around转身;come along一起来。
19.A.into B.against
C.over D.beyond
解析:上文语境题。根据文意,这里选介词beyond,go beyond表示“超出,超越”。Erin的所作所为已经超越了几乎任何人都会做的事情。
20.A.longing B.enthusiastic
C.concerned D.grateful
解析:上文语境题。由上文提到的offer my thanks和called to thank her可知,作者心存感激,因此选grateful。longing渴望的;enthusiastic热情的;concerned关心的。

9.A.gift B.skill
C.concern D.reputation

wanted to learn chess.And,even if I weren't _3.A__ enough about free credits,news about our _4.D__ was appealing enough to me.He was an international grandmaster,which _5.D__ I would be learning from one of the game's _6.C__.I could hardly wait to _7.B__ him.
Maurice Ashley was kind and smart,a former graduate returning to teach,and this _8.D__ was no game for him;he meant business.In his introduction,he made it _9.C__ that our credits would be hard-earned.In order to _10.B__ the class,among other criteria,we had to write a paper on how we plan to _11.C__ what we would learn in class to our future professions and,_12.A__,to our lives.I managed to get an A in that _13.C__ and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the _14.B__.

The Homeless Hero
For many,finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source(来源) of temptation(诱惑).But the _1.C__ would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money.All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith _2.B__ more remarkable.
After spotting a _3.A__ on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down,he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the _4.C__ to return.
After hours in the cold and wet,he _5.D__ inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact(联系) the driver,only to _6.A__ it contained £400 in notes,with another £50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after _7.B__ a note behind to let the owner know it was safe.When the car's owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth £35,000—in Glasgow city centre,they were _8.D__ to find
two policemen standing next to it.The policemen told them what Mr.Smith did and that the wallet was _9.A__.
The pair were later able to thank Mr.Smith for his _10.C__.
Mr.Anderson said:“I couldn't believe that the guy never took a penny.To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight _11.A__ he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in.This guy has nothing and _12.B__ he didn't take the wallet for himself;he thought about others _13.D__.It's unbelievable.It just proves there are _14.A__ guys out there.”
Mr.Smith's act _15.D__ much of the public's attention.He also won praise from social media users after Mr.Anderson _16.B__ about the act of kindness on Facebook.
Now Mr.Anderson has set up an online campaign to _17.B__ money for Mr.Smith and other homeless people in the area,which by yesterday had received £8,000.“I think the faith that everyone has shown _18.D__ him has touched him.People have been approaching him in the street;he's had job _19.C__ and all sorts,” Mr.Anderson commented.
For Mr.Smith,this is a possible life-changing _20.C__.The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another.
文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。主题是“人与社会”。一个无家可归的人,面对钱包中唾手可得的现金,做出的选择却是在寒冷和雨水中守候,最后将钱包交给警察,此举真的令人感动,让人肃然起敬。选材旨在告诉考生平凡的善举却蕴含着人性的光辉,要做好事,行善举。
1.A.hope B.aim
C.urge D.effort
解析:下文语境题。根据下文的greater以及if...with little food and money可知,应该选C项,这是作者做的假设:如果你露宿街头,食不果腹又几乎没有什么钱,那么看到那么多的钱时,对钱的欲望(urge)无疑会更大。
2.A.still B.even
C.ever D.once
解析:下文语境题。所选单词作状语,修饰比较级,表示more remarkable的程度,结合此分析可知应该选B项even“甚至”。
3.A.wallet B.bag
C.box D.parcel
解析:上下文语境题。根据第一段第一句中的wallet和第三段中的he_________ inside and pulled the wallet out可知,此处指发现一个“钱包”,应该选A项,汤姆·史密斯发现在开着车窗的汽车的前排座位上有个钱包。
4.A.partner B.colleague
C.owner D.policeman
解析:上下文语境题。由空格后面的to return并结合下文he could contact the driver和第四段中的the car's owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car可知,汤姆·史密斯在雨中等候钱包的“主人”(owner)回来,故选C项。
5.A.turned B.hid
C.stepped D.reached
解析:下文语境题。根据空后的inside可知,是指车内,再结合下文的pulled the wallet out可知,应该选D项,汤姆·史密斯“伸”(reach)手往车里够,拿出了那个钱包。
6.A.discover B.collect
C.check D.believe
解析:上下文语境题。汤姆·史密斯想在钱包里找到一些能够证明主人身份的东西,却“意外发现”(only to discover)钱包里有400英镑的纸钞和50英镑的零钱,选项中的discover是find的同义词。
7.A.taking B.leaving
C.reading D.writing
解析:下文语境题。根据空格后面的to let the owner know it was safe可知,汤姆·史密斯拿走了钱包并且给车主“留”(leave)了言,告诉车主钱包是安全的。
8.A.satisfied B.excited
C.amused D.shocked
解析:下文语境题。根据空格后面的to find two policemen standing next to it可知,车主看到警察站在车旁边应该是感到“震惊”(shocked)。
9.A.safe B.missing
C.found D.seen
解析:词汇复现题。前面提及汤姆·史密斯留言给车主,说钱包是安全的。此处表示警察告诉了车主汤姆·史密斯的所作所为,并且说钱包是“安全的”(safe)。
10.A.service B.support
C.kindness D.encouragement
解析:上文语境题。根据上文汤姆·史密斯保护车主钱财安全的感人举动可知,车主后来对汤姆·史密斯的“善举”(kindness)表达了谢意。下文的“...Mr.Anderson _________ about the act of kindness on Facebook.”也是很好的佐证。
11.A.when B.if
C.where D.because
解析:上下文语境题。根据句意尤其是空前的时间状语tonight可知,汤姆·史密斯本来可以偷走这些钱,花钱找个地方住下,而不用露宿街头,但是他并没有这样做。when在此处表示让步,意为“虽然,尽管”。
12.A.rather B.yet
C.already D.just
解析:语意逻辑题。汤姆·史密斯身无分文,但是他并没有偷走钱包,此处在语意上是转折关系,故用yet(可是,但是)。
13.A.too B.though
C.again D.instead
解析:语意逻辑题。汤姆·史密斯虽然一无所有,但并没有把钱包据为己有,“而是”(instead)为他人着想。instead与前文的not相呼应。
14.A.honest B.polite
C.rich D.generous
解析:上文语境题。上文说汤姆·史密斯虽然一无所有,但遇到钱财,毫无私心,这是“诚实的”(honest)表现。generous“大度的,慷慨的”,汤姆·史密斯本身一无所有,谈不上“慷慨”。
15.A.gave B.paid
C.cast D.drew
解析:下文语境题。根据后面一句“He also won praise from social media users...”可知,汤姆·史密斯的善举“引起”(draw)了公众的极大关注。
