Years ago I had the opportunity to meet a girl who strengthened my understanding of the power of belief. She was __36___ the most powerful person I had ever met. I met Chris for the first time while taking the Dale Carnegie __37___ in California.
Our class had already been going for quite some time when ___38___, supported by metal crutches(拐杖), ___39__ herself in. Chris had cerebral palsy(大腦性麻痹). She had much ___40___ in communicating with others. This was not because of ___41___ of desire, but because most of her twenty-one years of life she had been kept in a room with no more than Elvis records and tapes to __42___ her. No one had taken the time to help her develop the ability to ___43___. It was Bonnie, her present caretaker, who ___44___ there was much more to Chris than anyone else could see.
When asked by the instructor what her goal ___45___ the twelve-week course was, Chris struggled to respond and became impatient and ____46___ in the process. For most of her ___47___ nobody would listen to her. The only way she knew to get someone to ___48___ was through temper outbursts(發(fā)脾氣). With Bonnie as her interpreter, Chris conveyed that her ___49___ was to be able to stand by herself in front of forty-five people and tell us about herself.
On the twelfth week, Chris stood in front of the room and ___50___ with us, in her own words, what her life had been like. It was one of the most beautiful and enlightening experiences I had ever ___51____. Though as a girl who had in many ways been ____52___, she believed that she could ___53___ more in her life and she did. And she also had the love and support of forty-five friends, who, just weeks before, had been ____54___ strangers.
What we all witnessed through Chris’ courage is that life is ____55___ moment by moment, based on our beliefs, which are related to both our personal and professional direction and have the power to make our wildest dreams come true.

試題分析：本文講述的我所見過的一個殘疾的女孩，雖然在生活中有很多的困難，但是不向命運低頭，努力實現(xiàn)人生目標(biāo)的故事。
小題1:B 副詞辨析。A幸運地B也許C正式D自然；也許她是我見過的最堅強的人。
小題2:D 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)45空后the twelve-week course說明我們這是一個培訓(xùn)的課程班。
小題3:D 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)文章第一行meet a girl可知本文講述的是一個有堅強意志的女孩子，故使用she。
小題4:C 固定搭配。Drag sb in拖著進(jìn)來；因為她是拄著拐杖的，所以該詞表示她走的很慢，很拖拉。
小題5:A 固定句式。Have some difficulty in doing sth做某事有困難；在和別人交流方面她有很大的困難。
小題6:A 名詞辨析。A缺少B需要C通知D歡呼；這不是因為他缺少交流的欲望，而是她缺少這樣的機(jī)會。
小題7:D 動詞辨析。A留有印象B惱怒C使鎮(zhèn)定D娛樂；她唯一的娛樂工具就是收音機(jī)和磁帶。
小題8:C 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)上文所說他缺少與人交流的機(jī)會，這個課程班就是為了發(fā)展自己與人交流的能力。
小題9:A 動詞辨析。A知道B詢問C說D要求；只有現(xiàn)在的監(jiān)護(hù)人才知道她有比別人看見多得多的東西。
小題10:B 固定搭配.the goal for…指…的目的；老師詢問她來參加這個課程班的目的是什么。
小題11:A 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)impatient和trough temper outbursts(發(fā)脾氣). 可知A正確。她在平時通過trough temper outbursts(發(fā)脾氣)來引起別人的注意，所以老師問她的時候，她不耐煩且生氣了。
小題12:B 名詞辨析。A方法B人生作D過程；在她的人生過程中，很少有人會聽她說什么。
小題13:C 上下文串聯(lián)。她唯一讓別人聽她的方式就是發(fā)脾氣，只有發(fā)了脾氣以后別人才會聽她的意見。
小題14:B 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)45空前的what her goal說明她是在回答這個問題，目標(biāo)是什么？
小題15:D 動詞辨析。A開始B同意C發(fā)現(xiàn)D分享；她和我們一起分享她的看法。
小題16:C 動詞辨析。A爭論B參加C見證D接受；這是我曾經(jīng)見證過的最美好的人生經(jīng)歷之一。
小題17:B 短語辨析。A發(fā)現(xiàn)B擯棄C撫養(yǎng)D堅持；盡管她是一個在很多方面都被人摒棄的女孩。
小題18:C 動詞辨析。A給予B花費C完成，實現(xiàn)；D陪伴；她相信在人生中她可以實現(xiàn)更多的目標(biāo)。
小題19:A 形容詞辨析。A完全B必要C足夠D典型的；2個星期之前我們是完全的陌生人，現(xiàn)在我們是好朋友。
小題20:D 動詞辨析。A打電話B攜帶C尋找D創(chuàng)造；生活是根據(jù)我們的信念，一步一步創(chuàng)造出來的。
點評：本文講述的是一個殘疾的女孩，雖然在生活中有很多的困難，但是不向命運低頭，努力實現(xiàn)人生目標(biāo)的故事。考生在選擇答案時要根據(jù)上下文的復(fù)現(xiàn)或同現(xiàn)以及這些詞之間的有機(jī)聯(lián)系來確定答案。由于完形填空的文章是一個意義相關(guān)聯(lián)的語篇，圍繞一個話題論述，因此在行文中詞語的重復(fù)、替代、復(fù)現(xiàn)和同現(xiàn)現(xiàn)象是不可避免的。根據(jù)這個原則，某一個空格所對應(yīng)的答案很可能就是在上下文中復(fù)現(xiàn)或同現(xiàn)的相關(guān)詞：原詞、同義詞、近義詞、反義詞等。

William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (繼承) excellent taste in art from his family — both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry. 
Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama. 
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition. 
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's Death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines: 
Earth, receive an honoured guest:
        William Yeats is laid to rest. 
        Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
        Emptied of its poetry.
小題1:Which of the following can describe Yeats's family?
A．It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter.
B．It was shocked by Yeats's choice.
C．It was a typically wealthy family.
D．It had an artistic atmosphere.
小題2:According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats's life?
A．Yeats founded the first Irish theater.
B．Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.
小題3:What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden's lines?
A．EnvyB．SympathyC．EmptinessD．Admiration
小題4:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Yeats's literary achievementsB．Yeats's historical influence
C．Yeats's artistic ambitionD．Yeats's national honor

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I'm so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuseme too... I wasn't  36  watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went  37  our way after saying goodbye.
But at  38 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I  40  knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皺眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41_ . I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地) I had spoken.
That night, when I lay   42  in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While  43  with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite... Go look around on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the  44 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She  45  them herself-- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the  46 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 47 : “Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I  48 them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you'd like them, especially the  49 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today... And I  50  have fussed（慌亂）at you that way.”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay... I still love you 51 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the  52  you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave _53  will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our  54  than into our families--an unwise investment indeed.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

As a substitute teacher, my daily routine involves driving to a new school almost every day so I’m usually unable to anticipate the day’s events, good or bad!
On one particular day, I was teaching in a very difficult classroom. I was managing behavior all morning and by lunch time, I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon. So on my lunch break, I drove to a nearby plaza（購物中心）to get a cup of coffee. Upon returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4 or 5-minute drive away. I contemplated  (思考）sprinting（沖刺）back, but it being winter, I thought a nasty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.
So I ran into a McDonald’s which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter who happened to be the manager to please call me a cab. I briefly explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes, that he empathized. He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.
The manager returned only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not yet been able to request the cab yet. My expression, I assume, began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear.
Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell!
Upon arriving at the school, I thanked this man endlessly. His calm demeanor（舉止）and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for, and also a wonderful human being to have on this earth. This experience makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to transpire（發(fā)生）, which can have an unimaginable impact on those who receive them.
小題1:Why did the author go to get a coffee?
A．Because he needed to eat something as lunch.
B．Because he was very thirsty.
C．Because he had to refresh himself for the classes in the afternoon.
D．Because he wanted something hot to drink.
小題2:What happened to the author after he got a cup of coffee?
A．He fell on the icy road.
B．He realized his keys and phone were locked inside the car.
C．His car was broken.
D．He lost his keys and phone.
小題3:How long probably had the author stayed in the McDonald’s?
A．For about 15 minutes.B．For about 10 minutes.
C．For about 8 to 9 minutes.D．For only 2 minutes.
小題4:What kind of person is the manager?
A．Kind-hearted.B．Active.C．Good-mannered.D．Thoughtful.

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi was born in Budapest on September 16, 1893. In 1911 he entered his uncle’s laboratory where he studied until the outbreak of World War One, when he joined the army. He served on the Italian and Russian fronts, and he was permitted to leave the army in 1917 after being wounded in action. He completed his studies in Budapest before he went to Hamburg for a two-year course in physical chemistry. In 1920 he became an assistant at a university in Leiden, the Netherlands and from 1922 to 1926 he worked with H. J. Hamburger at the Physiology Institute, Groningen, the Netherlands.
In 1926, Szent-Gyorgyi was ready to end his own life after an embarrassing problem in his career. The scientist, thirty-two, had written a paper and handed it to his boss for approval to publish. His boss threw it in the dustbin. Concluding his life was a failure, the young researcher quit. Unable to support his wife and child, he sent them home to her parents. His final wish was to attend one last scientific meeting, to be among scientists, to have one last good time. So he went to the 1926 International Physiological Society Congress in Sweden.
Sitting in the audience, lost in self-pity, Szent-Gyorgyi listened to the president of the society, Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, refer to the fine work of a researcher: Szent-Gyorgyi! After the speech, collecting his courage, he introduced himself to Hopkins. The great man invited the young scientist to Cambridge to do further work.
Szent-Gyorgyi’s life changed. He discovered the oxidation-preventing (防氧化的) action of vitamin C. He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937. He accounted for his success by saying that discovery is seeing what everyone else has seen but thinking what nobody else has thought.
