Question

Back in the fifteenth century in Nuremberg lived a family with eighteen children. They were so poor that two children, who wanted to pursue their talent for1knew their father would never be 2 able to send  either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
So they tossed (擲) a coin. Albrecht Durer, the younger, 3 the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous 4 and for the next four years, financed his brother, who did so well that his works were even better than those of most of his 5. By the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn6 fees by drawing for wealthy people. When the young artist returned home, at dinner he drank a 7to his beloved brother for the years of8that had enabled him to fulfill his 9.He said, “Albert, my blessed brother, now it is your10to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you.”
With tears in his eyes, Albert held his hands close to his right cheek and said, “No, brother, I cannot go. Look... look what four years in the mines have done to my11 !The bones in every finger have been12at least once. Lately I have been suffering from arthritis (關(guān)節(jié)炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a 13 to return your toast, much less make delicate （細(xì)膩的）lines with a pen or a brush. No, brother..., for me it is too 14 .”
Deeply moved, Albrecht painstakingly drew his brother’s15 hands with palms（手掌） together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his powerful drawing16“Hands”, to which the entire world  immediately opened their hearts and later they17it “ the Praying Hands”.                                  
The next time when you see a copy of that18 creation, take a second look. Let it be your 19 , if you still need one, that no one ever makes it 20 !

試題分析：本文講述了為了讓弟弟去學(xué)習(xí)，哥哥到煤礦里打工，最后弟弟成名歸來，報答哥哥的恩情時卻發(fā)現(xiàn)哥哥的雙手已經(jīng)不能再拿起畫筆了，所以他就把哥哥的手畫了下來。
1.B考查語境化選詞。下文，尤其是第6空所在的句子告訴我們，Albrecht畢業(yè)后以畫畫(drawing)謀生可知答案。their talent for art意思是“他們的藝術(shù)天賦”。
2.C 副詞辨析。A基礎(chǔ)地B頻繁地C經(jīng)濟上D靈活地；在經(jīng)濟上他們的父母無法送他們?nèi)�Nuremberg學(xué)習(xí)。
3.A 動詞辨析。A贏得B失去C結(jié)束D開始；兄弟贏得了這次擲硬幣，而得到了去Nuremberg的機會。
4.D 名詞辨析。A山B海洋C沙漠D礦；指哥哥到礦里打工掙錢給弟弟學(xué)習(xí)。
5.C考查語境化選詞。這里要表達(dá)的意思是，他的作品甚至比大部分老師的都要出色。classmates(同學(xué))有很大的干擾性，但比大部分同學(xué)出色，無法表達(dá)出好到能為有錢人畫畫賺錢的程度(drawing for wealthy people)。
6.B考查形容詞辨析。considerable是“大量”的意思。由下文可知，他要為哥哥提供學(xué)習(xí)的費用，由此可以看出，他通過給人畫畫賺了很多錢。considerate“體貼的，考慮周到的”，由于和considerable極其形似，所以極易誤選。
7.D考查語境化選詞。Albrecht學(xué)成歸來，向為幫他實現(xiàn)藝術(shù)夢想而犧牲了許多的哥哥敬酒致謝。toast在這里是可數(shù)名詞，意思是“(向某人)敬酒”。
8.C考查名詞辨析。由語境可知，哥哥為了弟弟放棄了自己學(xué)習(xí)的機會，并去了危險的煤礦打工賺錢。這都是為弟弟所做的犧牲“sacrifice”。而donation“捐贈”；education“教育”；experience“經(jīng)驗，體驗”。均不符合句意。
9.B考查名詞辨析。這里指的是第一段所說的藝術(shù)夢想。見7。ambition在這里指遠(yuǎn)大的理想。下一句也有提示：pursue your dream。
10.A考查名詞辨析�！癐t is one's turn to do sth.”意思是“輪到某人做某事”。句意為：(我的夢想已經(jīng)實現(xiàn))，現(xiàn)在該你去實現(xiàn)自己的夢想了。turn指“(依次輪流時各自的)一次機會”。
11.D考查語境化選詞。該段第一句有暗示。眼含淚水，他把雙手收放到臉的右側(cè)，說：“我不能去了�？�，四年來，在煤礦里，我的手(hands)怎么了�！毕乱痪湟灿刑崾尽�
12.A考查動詞辨析。在這四個詞中，只有injure“傷害”才能使手發(fā)生這樣的變化。句意為：每只手指的骨頭至少受傷過一次。strengthen“加強，使有力”有很大的干擾性。
13.C 名詞辨析。A刀B勺子C杯子D筆；我甚至都無法拿起杯子來回應(yīng)敬酒。
14.D 形容詞辨析。指這一切一切都太晚了，我已經(jīng)沒有機會再去學(xué)習(xí)繪畫了。
15.A 形容詞辨析。A過度使用B黑色C寬的D易碎的；他就把哥哥過度使用的手畫了下來。
16.B考查副詞辨析。由他為自己的畫取的名字來看，是非常簡單的。句意為：他把這幅偉大的作品簡單地(simply)稱為“雙手”，然而，全世界的人都立刻敞開心扉，瞻仰這幅杰作，把這幅愛的作品重新命名為“祈禱之手”。seriously“認(rèn)真地”；carefully“謹(jǐn)慎地；仔細(xì)地”；gently“溫和地”。
17.D考查語境化選詞。因為作品已有了一個名字，這是再次取名，所以要用rename。
18.B考查形容詞辨析。由上文的介紹可以看出，這幅作品是非常感人(touching)的。倒數(shù)第二段的第一句話也有提示。longing“渴望的，極想得到的”；challenging“有挑戰(zhàn)性的”；disturbing“引起煩惱的，令人不安的”。都不符合句意。
19.A考查名詞辨析。這里要表達(dá)的意思是：提醒你明白“if you still need one，that no one­no one ever makes it alone！”reminder在這里意思是“提醒物”。句意為：如果你也需要這么一幅畫，就讓它成為你的提醒。aid“幫助”，guide“指導(dǎo)”，coach“教練；家庭教師”。
20.C考查語境化選詞。句意為：沒有人——沒有人能單槍匹馬地獲得成功！alone意思是“單獨地，獨自地”。由上文的介紹可知，這位藝術(shù)大師的成功，不是自己獨自奮斗的結(jié)果，是他哥哥作出了巨大的犧牲，才使他學(xué)業(yè)有成的。
考點：考查故事類完型填空
點評：本文講述了為了讓弟弟去學(xué)習(xí)，哥哥到煤礦里打工，最后弟弟成名歸來，報答哥哥的恩情時卻發(fā)現(xiàn)哥哥的雙手已經(jīng)不能再拿起畫筆了，所以他就把哥哥的手畫了下來。本文要求考生具有扎實的英語詞組、短語、習(xí)慣用法等英語搭配的知識，這對于理解文章的邏輯關(guān)系特別有利。文章的邏輯關(guān)系不外乎列舉、原因、結(jié)果、讓步、對照、補充、目的、條件等關(guān)系。解題時應(yīng)聯(lián)系上下文尋找相關(guān)線索，如某一個詞的原詞、指代詞、同義詞、近義詞、上義詞、下義詞和概括詞等。但由于我們在做題時不可能總是重復(fù)地閱讀文章，因此，在做完形填空時要培養(yǎng)一種捕捉并記憶相關(guān)信息的能力。
