4．Learning to Accept
I learned how to accept life as it is from my father．However，he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and （46）C，but rather when he became older and had illness．
My father was once a strong man who loved being active，but a terrible disease took all that away．Now he can no longer walk，and he must sit quietly in a chair all day．Even talking is（47）B．One night，I went to visit him．with my sisters．We started talking about life，and I told them about one of my（48）A．I said that we must very often give things up as we grow-our youth，our beauty，and our friends-but it always seems that after we give something up，we （49）D something new in its place．Then suddenly my father spoke up．He said，"But，Peter，I gave up everything!What did I get？"I thought and thought，but I couldn't think of anything to say．（50）B，he answered his own question："I won the love of my family，"I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes，along with hope and thankfulness．
I was also （51）Aby his words．After that，when I began to feel irritated （憤怒的）at someone，I would remember his words and become （52）B．If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others，then I should be able to give up my small irritations．（53）D，I learned the power of acceptance from my father．
Sometimes I （54）Awhat other things I could have learned from him if I had listened more carefully when I was a boy．For now，though，I am grateful for this one（55）C．
46．A．confidentB．a(chǎn)ttractiveC．healthyD．positive
47．A．impossibleB．difficultC．stressfulD．hopeless

分析 這篇文章又是一篇感人至深，具有較好教育意義的精品小文．整篇文章又一個標(biāo)題"Learning to accept"（學(xué)會接納或?qū)捜荩�，這非常有利于考生在一定程度上把握文章的主旨．作者以倒敘的形式講述了發(fā)生在他身上的故事．作者認為：有失必有得，要學(xué)會放棄，包括個人的青春、美麗和朋友在內(nèi)的一切；如果失去，必然有相應(yīng)的事物來代替．而作者年老多病的父親卻交給了他這樣一個道理：他放棄了一切卻一無所獲，得到的只是家人的愛-不要斤斤計較，要以愛心來對待一切，面對生活，使自己的內(nèi)心平和．

解答 46．答案 C  考查形容詞辨析  根據(jù)前面strong 一詞可以得知，此空所填單詞應(yīng)該與strong 相近，故填healthy，故答案為C
47．答案：B．考查形容詞詞義辨析．difficult意為"困難的"，從上文中的but a terrible illness took all that away可判斷出父親甚至說話都很困難．impossible意為"不可能的"，表示連話也不會說了，與下文中的He said矛盾．stressful意為"緊張的，壓力重的"．hopeless意為"沒有希望的；絕望的"．故選B．
48．答案：A．考查名詞詞義辨析．belief意為"信念；信仰，信心"，指內(nèi)心承認某事是真實的，側(cè)重于主觀上的信任，但不以觀察和經(jīng)驗為基礎(chǔ)，也不涉及是否有根據(jù)．下文的內(nèi)容表達了作者的信念．decision意為"決定"．experience意為"經(jīng)歷"．expectations意為"期望"．故選A．
49．答案 D 考查動詞辨析  句意是作者認為似乎我們丟棄一些東西后，得到（gain）一些新的東西代替了原來的東西．gain 與give up 相對應(yīng)，故答案為D
50．答案：B．考查副詞詞義辨析．surprisingly意為"令人吃驚地"，比較父親前后所說的話可以看出，父親所說的話的確令人吃驚．故選B．
51答案：A．考查形容詞詞義辨析．touched意為"受感動的"，表示聽了父親的話作者感到感動．故選A．
52．答案 B．考查形容詞詞義辨析．calm意為"冷靜"，用于人，指心理平靜，沒有情緒波動，如大海風(fēng)平浪靜．表示當(dāng)作者想起父親的話時就變得冷靜下來．relaxed意為"放松的"．happy意為"高興的，幸福的"．故選B．
53．答案：D  考查名詞詞義辨析．in this way表示"用這種方法，以這種方式"．故選D．
54．答案：A．考查動詞詞義辨析．A．wonder意為"想知道"，后接賓語從句表示想知道的內(nèi)容． doubt意為"懷疑"． recall意為"回想"． remember意為"記得"．故選A．
55．答案：C．考查名詞詞義辨析．C．gift意為"禮物"．這篇短文講述了作者的父親因為生病而失去了活動甚至于說話的能力，但是他仍然認為自己獲得了家庭的愛，表現(xiàn)了對生活的正確態(tài)度，所以作者把父親所說的I gained the love of my family．作為父親送給自己的禮物． award意為"獎勵"．  lesson意為"教訓(xùn)"．honor意為"榮譽"．故選C．

點評 非等距離挖空的命題方式是完形填空的最大特色．短文首句不挖空，以便為考生理解全文留下足夠信息，命題者根據(jù)考查目的進行挖空，造成信息鏈中斷，這就要求考生依據(jù)上下文的文意捕捉到空白處的缺詞．從近幾年高考完形填空題看，純語法知識幾乎不考，主要考查考生靈活運用所學(xué)詞匯的能力，尤其是以考查實詞或信息詞為主，著重考查考生對文章的內(nèi)在邏輯和整體把握能力．因此，把握句間和段落之間的內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系，通過上下文暗示，對篇章、段落或句意的整體把握；再則，干擾項的設(shè)置與語法結(jié)構(gòu)無甚關(guān)系，重在文意干擾．因此，把握文意和具體語境，通過對詞義的辨析，是解完形填空的最好手段．

9．We don't know how different our future will be in the future．We can only try to imagine it．
At first we think about human relationship．In the year 2050，we will use computers almost every day．We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way．It will be much faster and easier for us．On the other hand，our relationships with people won't be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely．
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050．For example，they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier．In addition，there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers，like robots which will do the housework for us．
Spending holidays will also be completely different．Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone．Means of transport will，of course，change，too．We will be using solar-powered cars，which will be much more environmentally friendly．
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more pollution environment．But it isn't true．We will pay more attention to protecting the environment．And，scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases，like cancer or AIDS．Therefore，our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition．
Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world，we often think about them．We worry about our and our children's future； we have expectations，hopes as well as fears．But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future．We should be happy and believe good things will happen．

21．Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050？B
A．Because the number of people will become much smaller．
B．Because there will be less face-to-face communication．
C．Because people won't like making friends with each other．
D．Because people won't communicate with each other much often．
22．According to the passage，which of the following will happen in 2050？C
A．The relationship between people will be more important than today．
B．The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today．
C．It won't be difficult for people to travel to other planets．
D．Our environment will be much more polluted with a growning number of cars．
23．What does the passage mainly talk about？B
A．How people will communicate in the year 2050
B．What our life will be like in the year 2050
C．How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050
D．What high technology will appear in the year 2050．
