【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
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
40. B 另一种选择 choice

two. He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs. He 48 to communicate

“different” from others, and learn how to fight against the misfortune he’ll 52 as I myself, his
grandfather, did. I just 53 if I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life.

In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman
remembered the first meeting of an introductory__36__course about 20 years ago.
The professor __37__the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans
（豆）, and invited the students to _38_how many beans the jar contained. After __39__shouts of

went on saying, ”You have just __41__an important lesson about science. That is: Never__42__
your own senses.”
Twenty years later, the __43__could guess what the professor had in mind. He
__44__himself, perhaps,as inviting his students to start an exciting __45__into an unknown world
Invisible（无形的）to the 46 ,which can be discovered only through scientific 47 .But the
seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even 48 the invitation. She was just 49 to
understand the world. And she 50 that her firsthand experience could be the 51 .The professor,
however, said that it was 52 .he was taking away her only 53 for knowing and was providing her
with no substitute. “I remember feeling small and 54 ,”the women says, “and I did the only thing I
could do. I 55 the course that afternoon, and I haven’t gone near science since.”

52.C 53.B 54.A 55.A
march into 是含义是“行军、走过”。【解析】考查名词，学生对未知世界开启的是一次航程，而非“运动”、“改变”亦或者
“匆忙冲进”，于是选择 A。
46.【答案】B
【解析】考查名词，解题关键是 invisible，并且给出了中文注释。中文注释是必须关注
的，给出中文注释的词未必是大家不认识的，但必须是解题的关键，本题就是完全的体
现，对于什么而言是无形的，形状自然是眼睛看到的，于是选择 B 本题难。
47.【答案】D
【解析】考查名词，因为我们说过三段开始由“二十年后”引出，说明前后段逻辑紧密，
而前一段说明的事情是我们不能相信自己的感觉做科学，于是本题中能够发现那个肉眼
无法识别的无形未知世界的绝不是“感觉”或者“精神”，排除 B、C；而 model 的含义
是“模型”，显然的无关选项，排除；最终选择 D，科学的方法。
48.【答案】A
【解析】考查动词，even 是一个强烈的递进关系词，那么根据语义，相比不能接受这些邀请更加强烈的情况是不去听这些邀请。
55.【答案】A
【解析】考查动词，被教授伤害后，我对这个科目能做的动作显然不是“开始学习”或
者“通过”，于是排除 B、C；而 missed 的含义是“失去”，无关选项；选择 A，“放
弃”。

【要点综述】一个沿街乞讨的乞丐遇到了财富女神，财富女神给了乞丐许多金币，同时
告诫乞丐，金币掉到地上则化为灰尘。贪婪的乞丐不听劝告，导致金币撑破钱包化为灰尘，乞丐又变得一无所有。故事告诫人们面对金钱不要贪得无厌。
16．D 根据第一段最后一句，为什么那些人如此有钱却从不满足，还想得到更多。可
知乞丐对此百思不得其解，“keep wondering”(一直想知道)符合句意。
17．B 还想得到更多，所以不满足，B 项符合句意。
18．C 由常识可知，乞丐最重要的是要解决吃和穿的问题。eat(吃)对应下面提到的
“穿”，符合语境。learn 学习；watch 看，观察；play 游戏；均不符合语境。
19．A 根据第一段，乞丐在沿街乞讨，所以财富女神降落到大街上才能看到乞丐。
street(街道)符合语境。bridge 桥；yard 院子；forest 森林；均不符合语境。
20．C 根据下文，“打开你的钱包，我要给你一些金子”，可知财富女神在帮助乞丐。
所以选 help，意为：帮助。praise 表扬；forgive 原谅； comfort 安慰；均不符合语境。
21．D 根据第三段中“All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold”(所有进入你钱包的都
是纯金)可知乞丐打开的是一个钱包，所以选 wallet，意为“钱包”。
22．D 只有在这种条件下，“我”才会去做。“All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold;
but every piece falling upon the________shall become dust” 指 上 文 提 到 的 这 种 条 件 。
condition“条件、状况”，符合句意。
23．C 句意：每一枚金币掉到地上都会变成尘土。ground(地面)符合语境。
24．A 根据下文财富女神告诫乞丐不要装得太重，提醒乞丐注意、当心。所以选 look
out。look after 照顾；look up 仰视，向上看；look down 俯视。
25．C 上文中“With an old wallet in his hand”表明这是一个旧钱包，所以选 worn，意思
是：用旧的。
26．B could hardly wait to do sth.意为：迫不及待做某事。句意：激动的乞丐早已迫不
及待地想拿到金子。
27．A 根据倒数第三段中提到“golden stream”可知答案。
28．C 通过乞丐告诉财富女神钱包现在还很结实，可知不要为钱包担心。Never fear.
不要害怕。
29．D 句意：钱包装了如此多的金币，乞丐的手开始发抖。shake(发抖)符合语境。spread
伸展；close 关闭；loose 放松；均不符合语境。
30．A 乞丐希望金子源源不断地流出，四个选项中只有 pour(流出)能形象地描绘出乞
丐的贪婪。
31．B 对应前文的“Just a little more，”可知，这里表达的意思是：贪婪的乞丐想再
往钱包中多装一两把金子。add(添加)符合句意。take 拿，携带；lend 借出； send 发送；均
不符合语境。最后一段的第一句话也有原词复现：One more piece was added and the wallet
split。
32．B 钱包已经装满了，而且是一个旧钱包，继续装可能会裂开。所以选 burst“破
裂”。下文中的“split”为同义词复现。
33．D 贪婪的乞丐认为钱包还能多装一点。hold“容纳”，符合语境。
34．C treasure(财宝)这里指代金币。钱包破裂后金币自然会掉到地上。present 礼物；
food 食物；metal 金属；均不符合句意。
35．A 句意：贪婪的乞丐除了破裂的钱包一无所有。nothing 什么也没有。

took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to El Capitan, a
__16__ rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew __17__ I wanted to
climb it. That has been my life's passion (钟爱) ever since — __18__ the rocks and mountains of
Yosemite. I've long made Yosemite my __19__.
About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of __20__， like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty
boxes, around the area. It's __21__ me why visitors started respecting the place __22__ and
treated such a beautiful homelike place this way.
I tried __23__ trash (垃圾) myself, but the job was too big. I would __24__ an hour or two
on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so __25__ it that I decided something had to change.
As a rockclimbing guide, I knew __26__ about organizing any big event. But in 2004 ，
together with some climbers, I set a date for a __27__. On that day ， more than 300 people
__28__. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we
were able to __29__. I couldn't believe the __30__ we made—the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people
picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and __31__ 132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people __32__ about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the
only way to change things is by __33__ rather than complaining. We need to teach by __34__.
You can't blame others __35__ you start with yourself.

It was a __53__ to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a __54__ if one has good

horn？” he then asked. “Look, this horn is no larger than a matchbox and has many __46__.”
Attracted by these functions, I bought the horn.
“You can't leave the back part __47__” noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with
buttons __48__ the seat, and said, “Is there anything better than this oven when you feel __49__

感叹现代消费者要想掌控自我消费行为是何其的艰难！
31．C 与此空后面一句 For fear that…of the consumer society 相呼应，因此选 C 项。
32．B “我”应该是产生了一个念头，不想被复杂的现代生活所累，决定立刻行动去
买一辆简单的自行车，其他均不符合题意。

44．B 安装了里程表而没有速度计就像吃饭有了叉而没有刀一样。fork 符合题意。
45．D attach sth to sth 将……系或缚到……上。attach 为最佳选项。
46．C “看，这个喇叭只有火柴盒大小，但它有很多功能。”“我”最终被它的功能

47．C bare 赤裸的，光秃的。此时店老板又说服“我”不要让车后边空荡荡的，应该

behind 在……后面。

If we can allow our children to be __53__ without prejudice, they'll build friendships with

A Leap（跳跃）to Honor
Leaping on a narrow balance beam （ 平 衡 木 ） is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old
gymnast, is an expert at it.

championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That’s especially impressive. 37 she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes
her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t 38 how far away things are.
When she was little, her mom 39 that even though she couldn’t see 40 , she was
fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the 41

Though learning gymnastics has been more 42 for her than for some of her tournaments, she
has never quit. She doesn’t let her 43 stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest 44 is the balance beam.
Because she has double vision, she often sees to beams. She must use her sense of touch to help
her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to 45 your mind that
it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most 46 for anyone
because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall 47 the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be 48 differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions,
the judges don’t know about her vision 49 . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think
they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her 50 attitude.
Lola never thinks about 51 . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in
gymnastics. Her 52 is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass
down what she’s learned to other kids 53 she grew up.
Lola is 54 of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in
her life outside gymnastics, too. Her 55 for others is “just believe yourself”.

I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭)，credit cards,
success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 36 chasing the same
thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell 37 . I found myself homeless and
alone. I had my truck and $56. I 38 the countryside for some place I could rent for the 39
possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road 40 the
Potomac River in West Virginia. It was 41 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the
owner, rented it, and 42 a corner to camp in.
The locals knew nothing about me, 43 slowly, they started teaching me the 44 of
being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 45 around to
chat. They started to teach me a belief in a 46 American Dream—not the one of individual
achievement but of 47 .
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were 48 for a civilized life, were
nonexistent in this place. 49 on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my 50
with my neighbors.
Four years later, I moved back into 51 . I saw many people were having a really hard time,
52 their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to 53 a handful of people.
There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to
other places. We’d all be in 54 if we hadn’t banded together.
The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for
myself; it’s about 55 we can all get by together.

can all get by together.
作者对美国梦的全新认识：美国梦
不是仅仅实现个人的成功，而是关
于我们如何通过共同奋斗都能获
得成功。
[解析]：
36．A。结合文章主旨和上文语境。由此句 “I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone
else.”作者过去曾经坚信的美国梦就是大家都在共同的追求中实现个人的成功。separately 单
独地，个别地；equally 相等地；平等地；
37．B。根据语境和固定短语。由第二段 “a series of unhappy events”，一系列的不幸使得作
者的梦想破碎。fall apart 崩溃，破碎；fall off 减少；跌落；变坏；fall over 被…绊倒；意外
地从…上跌落；fall out 争吵；结果；解散。
38．D。语义和词组搭配。在穷困潦倒时，作者只得到乡村找个便宜的居所，此处搭配为
search…for… 其余均不符。
39．D。语境和语义。“I had my truck and $56”，因为作者已经到了几乎身无分文的地步，带
着身上仅有的 56 美元，作者只能租下最便宜的花费的住所（some place I could rent）。
40． C。根据句意和搭配。作者找到了可以租赁的一个破旧房子，不过要沿着横跨波托马
克河的蜿蜒山路向上行走 4 英里。” a winding mountain road”横跨 “the Potomac River”，over
在…上面,由一边到另一边，其余均不符。
41．B。由上下文信息和词义。 “a shabby house”这是一个破旧的房子，“full of broken glass and
rubbish”到处都是破碎的玻璃碎片和垃圾，所以看出这里早已被遗弃多时，occupied 已占用
的，在使用的；abandoned 被放弃的，被遗弃的 ,其余两项被清空的和被抢劫的语境不符。
42．C。把握上文语境。作者找到房主租下房子后，“to camp in”必须先进行清理才能住宿，
所以作者先清理了房主的一个角落。clear 扫除，使干净；approach 接近，走近，靠近; turn
旋转；使改变方向；cut 剪切；切成。这三项与语境不符。
43．A。根据语句间的逻辑关系。尽管当地人对我是一无所知，但是，他们却教我与邻居相
处的艺术。很显然是一种转折关系。although 尽管；虽然位置应该放在 “The locals knew
nothing about me”之前。otherwise 否则，不然；for 因为，由于。它们都不符合。
44．D。根据句意和词汇。邻居们教作者应该如何与邻居们相处的艺术。art 艺术，技巧；benefit
利益，好处；lesson 教训，训诫；nature 自然；天性；天理；后三项与语境不符。
45．A。根据句意和词组。“to chat” 邻居们开始停留下来与作者聊天。stick around 逗留，停留；look around 骋目四顾；四顾；swing around 使转过；turn around 使）转身；（使）好转；
改变意见。
46．C。 根据上下文语境解题。文章第一段讲到了“the American Dream，which meant a job, a
mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success”，空格后提示“not the one of individual achievement”，可
知这是一个不同的（different）American Dream。
47．A。 根据上下文语境解题。本段前面讲到邻居们教他做邻居的艺术，给他提供了很多
帮助，由此可知选 neighborliness 友善，睦邻友好。其余三项分别意为：幸福；友好，亲切；
仁慈，好意。neighborliness 侧重指邻里关系。
48．D。根据上下文语境解题。根据第一段所描述的美国梦的内容“a job, a mortgage (按揭),
credit cards, success”，可知作者原来认为这些东西是文明生活必须的（necessary）。其余三项
分别意为：野生的，野蛮的，狂野的；真实的；偏僻的，遥远的，均不符合语境。
49. A。根据上文提示和语法知识解题。由第二段中“I came upon a shabby house four miles up a
winding mountain road”可知房子在山上，可知选 up。
50．B。根据上下文语境解题。句意：在这个山上，我最珍贵的财产是我和邻居们的关系
（relationships）。其余三项分别意为：合作；满意；约会，均不符合语境。
51．C。 根据上下文语境解题。根据第二段的“I _38_the countryside for some place”可知作者
到乡村找地方租住，现在是“I moved back into”，当然是搬回到城里（town）了。其余三项
分别意为：现实；社会；生活，均不符合语境。
52．B。根据句内逻辑关系解题。前面说“many people were having a really hard time”，许多
人正过着相当艰难的生活，可知是失去（losing）了工作和家。creating:创造；offering：提
供，明显不符合语境；quitting 只能和 jobs 搭配，不能和 homes 搭配。
53．C。根据语法知识解题。本题考查动词词组含义。四个选项分别意为：放进，提交，申
请；上交，拐入，告发；让…进入，接受，理解，吸入，欺骗；进入，到达，收获，被录取。
此处说作者设法租了一个足够大的房子来让一些人住进来，因此选 C。get in 是主动进入，
不符合语境。
54．B。 根据上文语境和语法知识解题。此处说：如果我们不团结在一起，我们都会流落
到住收容所（shelters）的地步。其余三项分别意为：庭院；帐篷；小屋，村舍，均不符合
语境。
55．D。 根据语法知识和语境解题。句意：美国梦不是关于我能为自己得到什么，而是关
于我们所有人如何能够一起度过难关。about 后面的从句不缺主语、宾语、表语，因此不选 what；
也没有是否(whether)的意思；也没有涉及时间问题（when），因此只能选 how.

[解析]：
36．C。 利用语境解题。本题的提示词是 usually, 根据语境这里应该表示一个小女孩的个
人习惯，句子的意思是：通常她会在那个小花园里玩耍。
37．B。根据句间逻辑关系解题。主句是 she desired to live in such a house, 从句是 she loved her
parents and her family, 主句和从句的关系应该是让步关系，虽然她深爱着自己的父母和家人，
但还是渴望住在那栋房子里。所以选择 Although。
38．A。利用语境解题。desired to live in such a house 和______ all day about how wonderful and
exciting…之间是并列关系。解题关键在于 desired, 既然渴望，就会有梦想，所以选择
dreamed。 dream about doing sth 梦想做…，所以选择 dreamed。
39．C。 根据上下文语境解题。本题的解题关键在于介词 about 后面的宾语从句 how wonderful
and exciting _________ must be to live there.这个句子如果用陈述句型表达应该是：_____ must
be wonderful and exciting to live there. 经分析可知，本题考查的是 it 做形式主语，代替后面
的不定时 to live there。鉴于此，答案为 C。
40．D。 根据下文提示解题。下文提到恳求妈妈之后才被允许骑自行车围着花园转一转，
说明小女孩刚刚学会些基本的（basic）技能和识别力，所以选择 D。
41．A。根据生活常识和上下文提示解题。上一段提到 desired, dreamed 等动词，说明了小女
孩渴望的心情，后面有提到 “Her mother finally allowed her to go”,由此可知小女孩“恳请”妈
妈答应自己的请求，所以选择 A。
42．B。 根据下文词汇复现解题。下文提到了 keeping close to the house（在房子周边，附
近），说明这里表达的是在花园周围骑车。所以答案是 B。
43．A。根据上下文语境解题。前面提到妈妈答应了小女孩的要求，但是这是有条件的，那
就是妈妈坚持(insisting on)要她不要远离自家的房子，不要骑太远。这个答案表明妈妈的态
度，所以选择 A。
44．C。根据下文词汇复现解题。上文提到 begged her mother for a bike ride, 所以这里应该是
表明妈妈对她的要求，不要骑(riding)太远，所以答案选择 C。
45．C。根据上下文语境解题。小女孩早就梦想着一饱花园的美丽，当得到妈妈允许骑车的
时候，她心里“确切”地知道她要去哪里。所以答案选择 C。
46．B。根据生活常识和上下文提示解题。文章的开始就提到 A little girl lived in a simple and
poor house on a hill. 明确告诉我们小女孩住在山上，所以这里是骑车下山，答案是 B。
47．D。根据下文词汇复现解题。由下段的开始句 she got off her bike and put it against the gate
post, 可知小姑娘骑车到金色的房子的门口，所以答案为 D。
48．B。根据句间逻辑关系解题。本句的解题关键在于主句中的谓语 focused on the path 和从
句谓语 got off the bike 之间的逻辑关系。先下车再专心研究/看…，由此可知要选的从属连词
为引导时间状语从句的，但是 got of f her bike 为瞬间动词，而 while 引导的时间状语从句的
谓语动词应该是延续性的，所以否定 C 答案，选择 B。
49. C。根据固定搭配解题。get to 到达；introduce… to 介绍…给…；lead to 通向； move
to 朝…移动。本句要表达的是道路与房子的关系，应该是这条路通向那所房子，所以选择C。
50．D。根据上下文语境解题。上句提到她 focused on the path and then on the house itself，
说明她仔细观察了这条道路和那所房子。仔细观察后应该有所发现，这里是指小女孩亲眼见
到的一切，所以选择 D。
51．C。根据句间逻辑关系解题。前面说到 she was very disappointed 和下面提到 very dirty，
这些都是选择本题答案的依据，既然 disappointed， 就说明这所房子远没有她当初想象得好，
很一般，很普通。所以选择 C。
52．D。根据上下文语境解题。上段提到了小女孩 disappointed, 本句中又有 heart-broken,由
此可推断小女孩很伤心和难过(sad),所以选择 D。
53．A。根据下文提示解题。下文提到 There on the other side of the valley…可知这里指“小女
孩转过身，回头看”，所以选择 A。
54. D。根据上下文语境解题。下文提到 There on the other side of the valley was a little house
and its windows were golden. 这是小女孩回头所看到的的景象，所以选择 D。
55.C。根据生活常识和上下文提示解题。这里指小女孩通过自己的亲身经历明白了一个道理，
原来自己一直住在一座充满了关爱的金色的房子里。也就是她意识到了这一点，所以答案选
择 C。

I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have

I think I am a much 52 person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not 53 these

As I held my father's hands one night, I couldn't help but notice their calluses(老茧) and roughness.

One summer. I remember, a drought（旱灾）hit Ontario, turning it into a 17 desert. On one of
those hot mornings I was picking sweet com with my dad to fill the last 18 from the grocery

however, the process didn't 20 quickly. After forty minutes of aimlessly walking in the field,
we 21 needed twenty dozen. I was completely frustrated and 22 . Dropping the basket

and hero
从父亲那里学到的很多，将伴随自己一生；
是父亲，是老师，是朋友，更是自己心目
中的英雄。
16．C。前面的句子提到父亲的手上满是老茧很粗糙，推测他的职业是农民最合适，更重要
的是，下文中说到了父子在田里摘棉花，更加印证了是农民的判断。四个选项的意思分别是
老师，园丁，农民，杂货商。
17．D。根据句意，既然发生了严旱灾，那么用 burning 来修饰 desert 最合适不过了。A，
B，C 三个选项的意思分别是暴风雨的，生动的，消失的，均与句意不符，排除。
18．A。fill an order 是一个固定短语，意思是“交付订货”，此句的意思是，我跟父亲正在
田里摘玉米，以便交付杂货店定的货。
19．B。此题需要结合后面一句话去做，后一句的意思是“然而这一次，这个过程进展不
快”，说明前面的二十分钟是“通常情况”下所需要的时间，因此应该用副词 normally。
20．A。事情进展如何，常用动词 go，而不用 begin, occur, change。21．B。平时只需要二十分钟，可是这次，四十分钟过后，还没结束，“仍然”还需要二十
分钟。其他三个选项均不能表达此意。
22．C。由于这次摘玉米用的时间太长，太辛苦，所以“我”很泄气也很“生气”，这个可
以结合后面“我”说的话来推断出来：重重的摔篮子，然后说“如果杂货店还要那他们可以
自己摘玉米”，这些都可以印证“我”很生气，而不是 A 吃惊，B 紧张，D 害怕，
23．D。看到“我”生气的样子，爸爸“笑”着安慰我。
24．B。本句意思是：我们每人“仅仅”需要摘十打，然后我们就结束了。be done 是固定
用法，意思是“结束，做完了”。
25．A。本句意思是：无论他“遇到”什么难题，他都不会放弃。四个选项的意思分别是：
遇到，抚养，解出（难题），考虑，只有选项 A 符合句意。
26．C。本句的意思是：这次干旱的灾难性影响在全国都能感受得到。这是坏事，所以应该
用 unfortunately. 其他三个选项的意思分别是：谢天谢地；满怀希望地；很奇怪，均与句意
不符。
27．D。句子的前半部分说旱灾对于每个人都是一种挑战，后半部分说父亲保持乐观，两者
之间显然是一种转折关系，应该用连词 but。
28．C。根据文章的主题可知，父亲对待生活持乐观态度，乐观的人会感激生活和所拥有的
一切。上句 Dad remained optimistic 提示，在艰难的日子里，父亲“依然乐观”，“继续”感
恩已有的东西，如健康和盘中食物。选项 A“似乎”，选项 B“似乎”，选项 D“目的是”不
合主题和句意。
29．B。句子意思是：就是在那时，我才开始“感激”父亲以及他引导我们走过艰难岁月的
信念。四个选项的意思分别是：面对 感激 检查 质问，只有选项 B 符合句意。
30．A。这句话是本段落的主题句，从下文可以看出，“父亲”对于家庭无私的风险已经对
子女无私的爱，所以选择 love 是最合适的。其它三个选项的意思分别是：自豪，友谊，诚
实，均不符合句意。
31．A。句子的意思是：父亲每天工作很长时间来“养家”，所以应该选择 support。其他三
个选项的意思分别是：安置，开始，使……有印象，均不符合句意。
32．B。句意为：他总是把我们的幸福放在他自己的“前面”，而且……。
33．A。长时间工作之后，“尽管”很累，也从不忘记在我参加比赛的时候为我打气加油。
“累”和“给我打气加油”之间是转折关系，所以应该用 in spite of。其它三个选项的意思
分别是：在……的条件下，在……的控制下，取代，均不合句意。
34．C。句子的意思是：他的爱和无私激励着我更加富有同情心和“更体谅人”，把别人放
在前面考虑。解题关键是“putting others first”，这其实就是对 considerate 的解释。
35．D。句中的 I have learned from you 是一个定语从句，空处就是它所修饰先行词，从句
中的谓语动词 learned 缺少宾语，空处就是它的宾语，这样就是 learn … from you，从四个选
项中找一个词填到这个省略号中做宾语，lessons 是最合适的，意思是“我从你那里学习到
的生活上的一些经验教训”。其它三个选项的意思分别是：历史，箴言，模式，放到句中均
不符合句意。

A recital __36__I had to practise a boring piece of music and perform before strangers. Each year
I __37__ask my father if I could skip the recital “just this once”. And each year he'd shake his
head, muttering(嘀咕) __38__about building selfconfidence and working towards a __39__．
So it was with really great__40__that I stood in church one recent Sunday, video camera in
hand, and __41__my 68yearold father sweating in his shirt __42__rising to play the piano in his
very first recital.
My father had longed to play music since childhood, but his family was poor and couldn't
__43__lessons. He could have gone on regretting it, __44__too many of us do. But though he was
rooted in his past, he wasn't __45__there. When he retired three years ago, he __46__ his church
music director to take him as a student.
For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard, he __47__stared down at his fingers.
Has he forgotten the __48__？ I worried, remembering those split seconds__49__ago when my
mind would go blank and my fingers would __50__. But then came the beautiful melody(旋律)，
from the __51__fingers that once baited(装饵于) my fishing lines. And I__52__he had been doing
what music teachers always stress：__53__the music and pretend the others aren't there.
“I'm __54__of him for starting something new at his age，” I said to my son Jeff.
“Yeah, and doing it so__55__，” Jeff added.
With his first recital, my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the
words he used those 30plus years ago.

【要点综述】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲述了作者小时候为了表演好钢
琴独奏而不得不勤加练习，而在练习的过程中其父亲经常告诉他一些人生真谛。原来作者的
父亲自小也非常希望能够演奏音乐，但限于家庭贫困而无法学习。退休后，父亲说服了教堂
的音乐主管收他为徒并成功进行了钢琴演出。
36．C reflect 反映，反射，反省；explain 解释，说明；mean 意思是，意味着，意欲，
想要；prove 证明。钢琴独奏会就“意味着”“我”要进行很多练习。
37．A would“将要，过去常常”，可表示过去经常进行的动作。结合后面的“…he'd shake
his head…”可知选择 A 项。could 能够；might 可能；should 应该。
38．D nothing 没什么；everything 一切，万物；anything 任何事；something 值得重视
的事。父亲嘀咕一些有关树立自信、实现“目标”的“重要的事情”。
39．A goal 目标，球门；stage 舞台，阶段；journey 旅行，行程；chance 机会，机遇，
可能性。根据语境可知选择 A 项。
40．B trouble 麻烦，烦恼；satisfaction 满足；strength 力量，力气，长处；disappointment
失望，沮丧。最近的一个星期天，“我”“非常满意地”站在教堂里，手里拿着摄像机。
41．C keep 保持，遵守，饲养；send 发送，发射，派遣；watch 观察，注视，警戒；feel
感觉，触摸。“我”“观察到”68 岁的父亲第一次进行钢琴独奏时，在他起身去弹钢琴之“前”，
汗水就已经浸湿了他的衬衫。
42．D through 穿过，通过；from 来自，从；against 反对，倚靠；before 先于，在……
之前。根据语境可知选择 D 项。
43．B miss 错过，想念；afford 负担得起，买得起；select 挑选，选拔；understand 理
解。父亲家里很穷，负担不起音乐课程的费用。
44．A as 因为，尽管，和……一样；once 一旦；if 如果，是否；while 然而，当……
的时候。和我们中的许多人一样，他本来可能一直遗憾下去。45．C educate 教育，培养；protect 保护；stick 刺，戳，粘贴；spoil 溺爱，糟蹋，破
坏。父亲没有“停留”在过去。三年前他退休的时候，他“说服”了教堂的音乐主管收他为
徒了。
46．D allow 允许，认可；invite 邀请；inspire 激发，鼓舞，启示；persuade 说服。persuade
sb to do sth/into doing sth 是固定短语，意为“说服某人做某事”。 根据语境可知选择 D 项。
47．B roughly 粗略地，大致上；simply 仅仅，简直；merrily 愉快地，高兴地；curiously
好奇地。父亲在钢琴前坐下了好一会儿，他只是低头“盯着”他的手指。难道是他忘记“音
符”了？
48．C word 单词，话语；video 视频，影像资料；note 备注，说明，音符；lesson 课
程，经验教训。根据语境可知选择 C 项。
49．A decade 十年；week 周；hour 小时；moment 片刻。根据后面的“…when my mind
would go blank…”以及最后一段中的 those 30plus years ago 可知，作者弹琴是在“多年
前”，故选择 A 项。
50．B play 玩，演奏；freeze 冷冻，冻结，僵硬；click 点击；adjust 调整，校准。脑
袋一片空白的时候，弹钢琴的手自然就会“僵住”。
51．A same 相同的；warm 温暖的；different 不同的；dirty 脏的。此处想要表达的是
弹钢琴的手和装鱼饵的手是“相同的”。
52．B predict 预测，预言，预知；realize 意识到，实现；imagine 想象，猜想，臆断；
insist 坚持，强调。“我”“意识”到父亲正在按照音乐老师们一直强调的做——“专注于”
音乐，假装其他人不存在。
53．D pass over 越过，忽略，经过；turn up 出现，发生，调大；bring in 引进，生产，
增加；concentrate on 专心于，全神贯注于。根据语境可知选择 D 项。
54．D ashamed 羞愧的；aware 意识到，知道的；tired 厌倦的；proud 骄傲的，自豪的，
得意的。“我”对“我”的儿子说，父亲在这样的年纪还要学习新的东西，“我”为他感到
“骄傲”。“我”的儿子补充说，的确是应该感到骄傲，况且爷爷做得“这么好”。
55．C casually 随意地，偶然地；anxiously 不安地，忧虑地；nicely 令人满意地，很好
地；frequently 频繁地，屡次。根据语境可知选择 C 项。

couldn't read his own handwriting.__22__ he was a bright student.He discussed adult subjects
with nearly adult comprehension.His work in no way reflected his __23__.
So when Simon's mother entered the room, my palms ( 手 掌 心 ) were sweating.I was
completely __24__ for her kisses on both my cheeks. “ I came to thank you ， ” she said,
surprising me beyond speech.__25__ me, Simon had become a different person.He talked of how

__27__ spent an afternoon at a friend's house.She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the

I sat, stunned(惊呆), for about half an hour，__29__ what had just happened.How did I make
such a lifechanging difference to that boy without __30__ knowing it？What I finally came to

of the class. Jeanne spoke __33__， and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak
up.Simon's the expert on this.He is the __34__ one you have to convince, and he can't hear you in

【要点综述】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议类文章。常言说“小小的善举意义重大”，在文章中，
作者作为一位新老师，在一次课堂中的无心之举，使得班级里的后进生 Simon 旧貌换新颜，
以至于他母亲亲自到学校来道谢。通过这件事，作者感慨万分，有时候小小的无心善举也能
发挥巨大的作用。
21. D 从下文提到的 the students' work 以及最后 my teaching career 知，作者的身份是
一名教师。cleaner 清洁工；reporter 记者；monitor 班长。
22. C 从上下文知，前面提到 Simon 成绩很低，但后面又提到他是一个很聪明的学生，
由此知这里表示转折关系，故用 but。
23. B 从语境和上文的“He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension.”知，
Simon 是一个理解力很强的学生，故用 abilities 表示他的能力。
24. C unprepared “未准备好的”，符合句意。 desperate 绝望的；responsible 负责任的；
unsuitable 不合适的。
25. A 从上文的 I came to thank you 和下文的 Simon had become a different person 知，
此处 Simon 母亲来对作者表示感谢，因为作者的缘故，Simon 与以前大不相同了。所以选
because of 表示“因为”。
26. A 根据下文知，Simon 对于“我”这位新老师非常喜欢，所以用 loved 来表示他对
“我”的爱。envy 嫉妒；please 使高兴；criticize 批评。
27. C 根据上下文知，Simon 现在交了很多朋友，最近还在一个朋友家待了一下午。
gradually 逐渐地；constantly 不断地； recently 最近；obviously 明显地。根据句意选 C 项。
28. A 从 上 下 文 知 ， Simon 的 母 亲 感 谢 “ 我 ” 对 Simon 自 尊 心 的 培 养 ， 故 用
selfrespect，意为“自尊”。 selfdoubt 自我怀疑；selfpity 自怜自哀；selfdefense 自卫。

Powerful, yes, but not always 26 . For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani,
my faceless agent whom I’d never met 27 , got me rock-bottom prices on airfares, cars, and
hotels. But her cold voice really 28 me. I sometimes wished to 29 another agent.
One morning, I had to 30 an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into
Rani’s office 31 . The woman sitting at the desk, 32 my madness, sympathetically jumped up.
She gave me a 33 smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the 34

Rushing out 35 I called out over my shoulder, “By the way, what’s your name?” “I’m Rani,”
she said. I turned around and saw a 36 woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a
safe trip. I was 37 ! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 38 .

【解析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上，Erin 捡到了作者的钱包，在寒
冷的黑夜亲自登门归还钱包。作者深受感动。文章叙述了事情的来龙去脉和作者的感受。【16 题详解】
根据前文的“fear seized me. My wallet was gone.”可以推知，作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上，
而汽车正在开往某个作者未知的地方，这使得找回钱包的希望渺茫，因此作者心生“恐惧”。
故 C 选项(unknown)切题。
【17 题详解】
根据上一段中的“fear seized me”可以推知，作者在发现丢了钱包之后的第一感觉是“害
怕”。之后，作者开始在内心计算找回钱包里的那些东西所需要的时间和钱数。故该空应和
fear 表达的意思相近，D 选项（heart-stopping）切题：令人心跳停止的，惊心动魄的。
【18 题详解】
该空指下文中提到的“the credit cards， the driver’s license, the cash”，这些都是钱包里装
的东西。故选 B(content)：所含之物，所容纳之物。
【19 题详解】
两小时后有人敲门，丈夫去应门。B 选项（answer）切题：应（门）；接（电话）；应答。
20 题详解】
结合下文的陈述可知，那位女士捡到了作者的钱包，她拾金不昧，将钱包完璧归赵。由此可
以推知，该处指“钱包里的钱一分也没有丢失”。故A 选项（missing）切题：不见的，丢失
的。
【21 题详解】
作者甚至还没有来得及到门口感谢那位女士，她就离开了。该空表示“甚至”，故选D 选项
（even）：甚至。
【22 题详解】
在网上分享了这个故事之后，作者收到了某个人的来信，这个人确认了那位女士是 Erin
Smith。C 选项(identify)切题：确认，认出，识别。
【23 题详解】
找到了那位拾金不昧的女士，作者当然要“马上，毫不耽搁地”打电话去感谢对方。A 选项
（delay）切题：耽搁，延迟。
【24 题详解】
【作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上，Erin 是在一个座位上发现了它。该空表示“发现”，故选D
选项(spot)：发现，认出。
【25 题详解】
根据文章最后一段中的“a bitterly cold night”可知，这件事发生在一个寒冷的晚上。同时，
Erin 又不认识作者。由此推知，该句应指：Erin 估计去一个陌生人的家是一个冒险的举动。
C 选项（calculate）正确：估算，估计，预料。
【26 题详解】
根据下文中的转折词 but 可知，该句和 she decided to take the chance（她决定冒险）是转折
关系。那么该句应指去一个陌生人家是一个冒险的举动。故 B 选项（risky）正确：冒险的。
【27 题详解】
该句叙述的是 Erin 当时的想法：“如果我处在那种情况下（指丢了钱包这种情形），我希望
有个人努力地找到我”。该空表示“情况，情形”，故选C 选项（situation）：情况，情形。
【28 题详解】
作者丢了钱包，对于作者来说，这是一个“危机，危难时刻”。故选A 选项（crisis）：危机，
危难时刻。

作者的钱包。故 D 选项正确。take possession of 意为“拥有，占有”。
【30 题详解】
Erin 把作者的驾照图片发到一个论坛里，想看看是否有人认识作者。该空表示“是否”，故
选 A 选项（if）：是否。
【31 题详解】
根据后面的转折词 but 可知，该句和后面一句（她们想帮忙）转折关系，由此推知，该句指：
除了闲聊，作者和那两位妈妈从来没有说过话，即：从未和她们“交换过词语”。B 选项
（exchange）正确：交换，互换。
【32 题详解】
作者曾经读到这样的说法：人们比以往更加四分五裂，即：人们不像以前那样团结，不像以前那样互相帮助了。但是，作者遇到的这些人的行为方式不是那样的。上文中提到的 Erin，
two moms 都是作者遇到的人。故 A 选项（encounter）正确：偶遇，遇到，邂逅。
【33 题详解】
回顾发生的这件事，作者感到很幸运：有人想帮助一个陌生人。C 选项（look back）正确：
回顾，追忆。
【34 题详解】
根据倒数第二段中提到的“people are more divided”可以推知，一般人在捡到别人的钱包后，
都不会像 Erin 那样亲自归还失主。因此该句指：Erin 的所作所为远远超越了其他人的行为。
该空表示“超过，超越”，故选D 选项（beyond）：超过，超越。
【35 题详解】
Erin 在寒冷的黑夜亲自登门归还作者的钱包，作者对此非常感激。D 选项（grateful）正确：
感激的。
