Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson that little things still mean a lot. I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I started my car and I  1 down at the roadside, a piece of paper caught my eye. I picked it up and  2 it carefully.
The form turned out to be a  3 from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’  4 of their vehicle’s registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their  5 and figured:no one would throw this out,  6 if it was current.
Although the form had been blown here,  where in the busy,parking lot would I find the owner? So I checked the date and noted the name of the  8 , who must be in our town. I thought that the best and easiest step to  9 was to put the form in an envelope addressed to the couple and  10 it by post. So I did it.
On the weekend, a  11 couple called at my house and brought me a big  12 . They said they had panicked and searched for the receipt(收據(jù))   13 everywhere before giving up. Without it they would 14 $8, 000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone  15 a major trouble by doing something which at first glance seemed minor.

解析試題分析:
【小題1】A動詞辨析 A.glanced 一瞥, 掃視B. went 去C. broke 打破, 折斷, 弄壞D. set放, 擱置 由上下文串聯(lián)可知:主人公往公路兩旁瞥了一眼。固定短語:glance at---瞥--
【小題2】A 動詞辨析A. read讀; 看懂, 理解B. cleaned  (使)清潔; 變干凈 C.touched 接觸;觸摸D.看見; 由句意和動賓搭配可知:主人公是仔細閱讀了紙條上的內(nèi)容,結(jié)合下文也可知道。    
【小題3】D名詞辨析 A.report報告,報道 B. decision 決定,決心 C. message 信息 D.receipt 收據(jù),發(fā)票 由后文可知:作者撿起來的是一個電動車戶主丟失的發(fā)票
【小題4】B 名詞辨析A.development發(fā)展B.payment支付,付款C.permission允許,許可D. plan計劃 方案 上下串聯(lián)可知:發(fā)票就是費用的證明和依據(jù)。故payment為最佳答案
【小題5】C 名詞辨析A.clothes 衣服,衣物B. hat帽子 C. shoes 鞋子 D. shirt襯衫,襯衣
此題為一個固定搭配:put oneself in one’s shoes 站在某人的角度思考問題。以固定短語的形式考查名詞的詞義,對考生來說較難。平時應(yīng)注意多積累相關(guān)短語。
【小題6】A 副詞辨析A.especially尤其B.occasionally偶爾,間或C.usually慣常地D.generally一般地 作者在想:沒人會把發(fā)票扔掉,尤其是現(xiàn)金的話就更沒有人會扔了。四個選項中,A選項符合題意,表示一種遞進關(guān)系。
【小題7】.D 形容詞辨析 A.lonely孤獨的,寂寞的B. narrow狹窄的C.empty空的 D.crowded 擠得滿滿的 此題可根據(jù)單詞排列相似性原則破解,從句意可以看出,應(yīng)為熱鬧擁擠的停車場,故D為最佳選項
【小題8】B 名詞辨析A.guest 客人,賓客 B.owner 物主C.partner同伴,搭檔 D. host東道主,主辦人 由上下文串聯(lián)可知,記錄著車主的姓名
【小題9】C 動詞辨析A.have 有;持有 B. get 得到C. take 帶(去),攜帶 D. bring帶來, 拿來
根據(jù)句意和動賓搭配關(guān)系可知:會采取的措施 take step(s)/measure
【小題10】B 動詞辨析A.sell 賣;售;銷 B. mail郵寄 C. carry 運送, 搬運 D. fly飛,飛行
由by post可知:肯定是郵寄。B選項符合題意,為最佳選項。
【小題11】D形容詞辨析A.worried焦慮的,煩惱的 B.disappointed 失望的C.lucky 幸運的D.happy 愉快的 由上文可知:作者把發(fā)票寄給了失主,一周后,一對夫婦找過來感謝她,可以推斷:夫婦找回了自己丟失的發(fā)票,失而復(fù)得,應(yīng)該是心情很高興,而且給作者帶了了一個很大的禮物以表感謝。
【小題12】 C名詞辨析A.surprise驚奇,驚訝B. form組成,結(jié)構(gòu)C.gift 禮物, 贈品 D. joy歡樂, 高興  由句意可知:夫婦帶去的肯定不是驚喜,因為結(jié)合上文的描述,夫婦是特此過來感謝作者的,通常感謝一個人會帶一份禮物以表謝意,所以禮物更符合情景和語境的意義。
【小題13】 D副詞辨析A.quickly迅速地 B. slowly緩慢地;悠悠地C.curiously 好奇地 D. madly 發(fā)瘋似地 通常:一個人丟失了自己重要的物件,肯定會拼命的找回來。同樣,這對夫婦到很多的地方發(fā)瘋似的尋找。
【小題14】C動詞辨析A.drop(使)落下, 投下,物品的落下B.earn賺得C. lose 遺失; 失去 可引申為你損失 D. get 得到, 收到  由題意可知:如果找不回來,夫婦會(失去)損失$8, 000,故lose為最佳選項
【小題15】A動詞辨析A.avoid 避免, B. meet 遇見,碰見,相見 C.overcome戰(zhàn)勝;克服D.defeat 擊敗, 戰(zhàn)勝 因為作者的一個不經(jīng)意的小舉動,卻幫助了這對夫婦避免了大麻煩,從句意和搭配上看,麻煩應(yīng)與避免搭配,最佳選項為A。
考點:記敘性文章
點評:本文講述了作者在準備開車時,意外發(fā)現(xiàn)路邊有一張不起眼的紙條,結(jié)果是一張州電動車營業(yè)部開出的一張發(fā)票,發(fā)票上記錄著車主電動車上戶所交的費用。后來,一對夫婦找上門核實和認領(lǐng)了該張票據(jù)。作者認為,一個不經(jīng)意間小小的舉動也可能給別人帶去很大的幫助,同時呼吁我們要對眼前的小事多加留意,注意細節(jié)。解答記敘文體的完形填空時,   應(yīng)著重把握以下幾點:
1、了解文章的結(jié)構(gòu)形式。
2、明確作者的寫作目的。就事論事肯定不是記敘的目的,而通過敘述闡明一個道理,同是作者必須考慮的。只有心中有了目的,在情節(jié)選擇和細節(jié)描寫上才會作出合理的安排。明晰了寫作目的,就能抓住文章的主題。
3、知曉文章所記敘的一件事的起因、經(jīng)過和結(jié)局,作者就有必要在記敘文中將事件、人物、時間、地點、原因(why)和結(jié)果等要素講清楚。這六個要素是記敘文的基本組成部分,一般不能缺少。弄清了這六個要素,基本上就理解了整篇文章。
4、弄清文章是以第幾人稱的視角展開記敘的。通常英語記敘文展開記敘的視角有兩個:
第一人稱和第三人稱。用第一人稱就是從“參與者”的角度進行記敘,讀者可從字里行間感受到作者親切的態(tài)度和深厚的感情。用第三人稱就是以“觀察者”的身份展開敘述,作者的語氣客觀,與讀者保持著一定的距離,讀者的注意力更多集中在故事本身。了解了作者的寫作角度有助于我們走進作者的思維,深入理解文章的意義。

Sometimes, people are required to fill in personal information when they register online, which may lead to some unexpected trouble. Recently, the BBC is reporting that a 17-year-old girl in Australia posted a(n) 【小題1】  of her grandmother at home counting a large sum of cash that she  【小題2】  hidden in the house. Just eight hours later, two armed men  【小題3】  the girl’s house. They demanded to speak to her to find out where the grandmother’s house was,   【小題4】  they could get the money they had seen.   【小題5】 , the girl was not home at the time, so the robbers 【小題6】 a small amount of cash from the mother and left.
Because the 【小題7】 is still under investigation(調(diào)查), local police aren’t saying 【小題8】 else about it. It’s not known yet whether the girl had used privacy setting on the Facebook profile page, and even whether the robbers 【小題9】 the girl in the past.
Two other 【小題10】 were at home then, a 58-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy, the girl’s father and brother. Luckily, no one was 【小題11】 . The robbers left peacefully after  【小題12】  that the girl was not home and that no one else there knew anything about the  【小題13】  that had appeared in the photo.
Police in both Britain and Australia are using the case to 【小題14】  citizens of the dangers of posting personal information on social networks and to suggest users of websites  【小題15】   doing so. The police say it is  【小題16】  that the girl posted a comment in the past that gave clues to the address,    【小題17】  that the robbers knew the girl in another way.    【小題18】  , they suggest, a posting by a friend on their site could have   【小題19】  such information. To find it, the robbers would only have had to search for those posting on other pages that  【小題20】  the girl’s name.

My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the   36  of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then    37  the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on   38  his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he   39  belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be   40  , I didn’t think much of it, but I had   41  to warn my neighbors of the drawings   42  appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the   43  to do so, because I was a little busy recently.
On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I   44  Mary, my elderly neighbor,   45  at her mail box. She said, “Jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?” I was at once   46 , “Oh yes, Mary, it is. I’m sorry. I meant to tell you…” She cut me off, “Jodie, I just love his mail. I’ve   47  every item he has sent. You don’t know how much   48  the letters has made my day. I just love them.” While I was walking down to school after our   49 , many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days,   50  she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small   51  of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought   52  to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should   53  this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most   54  make their day.
It’s doing the little, simple things that can often make a big   55  in someone’s life.

China has become Volvo's third largest market, with more of its car models to go on sale in the world's largest auto(汽車) market this year, Chief Executive Office (CEO) of Volvo Cars China said in Tianjin.
Alexander Klose, CEO of Volvo Cars China, told Xinhua at the Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show, being held from Friday to Wednesday.
Klose said Volvo Cars had entered a new time of fast development, adding that its sales volume in China roared in 2010.
Up to the end of September, Volvo's global sales volume was up 12.5 percent year on year(同年比), compared with 52 percent year-on-year rise in China, he said.
Two new Volvo sales centers opened in Beijing within merely one week in early October, about two months after east China's ZhejiangGeely Holding Group Co acquired(購得)the Swedish brand from the US auto giant Ford for $1.5 billion in early August.
Klose said he was confident of seeing tremendous(巨大的) growth in China's auto market in the next five years. "As the Chinese government has increased the tax rate for large displacement (排量)cars already, we now have a lot of cars below three liters(升), and I think we'll stick to that strategy, as you can see now the XC60 which was introduced today is just two liters," he said.
"As the technology advances, we'll probably even see 1.6 liter engines or 1.5 liter engines in the future," he added.
Volvo Cars is not the only automaker hoping to take advantage of China's rapidly growing auto market.
Bentley, the famous British luxury(豪華) carmaker, will open a new sales center in China at Tianjin Thursday, which is the 11th one in China, according to a press release(新聞發(fā)布) by Shanghai-based Zenith Integrated Communications Corp (Zenith) Saturday at the auto show.
Zenth is the public relations agent of Bentley in China. The automaker has sold 421 limousines(大型豪華轎車) to China in 2009, and the goal for 2010 is 777, the release said.
【小題1】The word underlined in the third paragraph would probably be___.      

A.shouted loudlyB.increased in large numbers
C.reduced rapidlyD.burned brightly
【小題2】From this passage we can infer that ___.                       
A.The Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show was held from Friday to Wednesday.
B.Volvo Cars is a world-famous carmaker in Britain.
C.Of all the auto sales volume Volvo sales volume is only number one in China
D.Volvo sales centers are developing very fast in China recently
【小題3】The text is mainly about____.                       
A.China Becomes Volvo's 3rd largest market
B.Volvo Cars in China
C.Volvo Sales Volume in China
D.Carmakers in China
【小題4】How many carmakers are mentioned in this passage which opened and will open new sales centers in China recently?                                 
A.OneB.TwoC.ThreeD.Four
