I was sitting at the bar of a local restaurant having __36__ and taking a break. A pretty girl who looked about 25 walked in and sat down in a booth(飯館的小隔間) __37__ for her friend. It didn’t take long __38__ I saw she was trying to stay __39__ from other people’s gazes(注視) and my heart sank. You could see her hair was __40__ and, at such a young age, she was receiving chemo(化療).

I sat there watching her trying to remain composed(鎮(zhèn)靜的) and she was having a __41__ time of it. I __42__ for her, imagining what it must be like to go through this and yet I know some of her __43__.

You see I __44__ my wife, the love of my life just a few short years ago and watched her slowly fade away. I needed to give a message of __45__ to this girl. But how? What could I do?

Then it __46__ to me! I called over her waitress and explained that I wanted to buy the girl and her friend’s lunch but I also told her not to tell her it was me. I also __47__ the waitress a note to give to the girl.

The note __48__ as follows:

“ Someone today thought you were beautiful; someone today thought your smile glowed __49__ excitement; someone today thought your eyes __50__ up the world; someone today cared and wanted you to know this. Enjoy the rest of your day, pretty young lady.”

About 15 minutes later, the young girl asked for her __51__ and I watched as she was told it was paid for. She asked why? Who? What for? The waitress simply handed her the note and __52__ to her the gentleman who did it left.

I watched as she slowly read the note. Her eyes tore up, for only a moment, and then came the smile! A huge, beautiful, hopeful smile! She lit up the room and then sat up straight, not __53__ who saw her.

It’s not __54__ we look or what we have; it’s not our houses or how many cars we have; nor is it how much money we can earn. It’s all about how much we care and what we do, __55__ it’s making someone feel pretty only for a moment.

2.search for和look for兩者都是“尋找”；hope for“期待”；wait for“等候”；根據(jù)上下文的語境應(yīng)是小女孩在等她的朋友吃飯。故選D

3.It didn’t take long before…“沒過多久”，這是固定句型。故選B

4.hidden    “躲藏的”； stubborn “頑固的”； focused “集中的，聚焦的”； sighted “目光短淺的”；從下文可知小女孩由于做化療頭發(fā)都掉了，自己不愿讓別人看見所以躲著別人的目光。故選A

5.fall in“集合，跟隨”； fall over“摔倒”； fall out“脫落，離隊(duì)”； fall behind“落在后面”，小女孩的頭發(fā)在脫落，故選C

6.have a good/great time“過得愉快”； have a tough time“過著煎熬的日子” ；have an easy time“過著安逸的日子”；根據(jù)上下文小女孩有病在身，過著煎熬的日子，故選C

7.sink “下沉，消沉”； ache “疼痛”； trust “信任”； puzzle “困惑”，從下文可知作者同情這個(gè)小女孩要給她和她的朋友買單，所以看到小女孩這個(gè)樣子作者心痛，故選B

8.idea “想法，主意”； view “觀點(diǎn)，風(fēng)景”； trouble “煩惱”； pain

 “疼痛”，上文一直在說小女孩的心理的痛，所以作者理解的也是她的痛，故選D

9.leave “離開”； desert “放棄”； bury “埋葬”； value“看重，珍惜”，根據(jù)下文the love of my life just a few short years ago and watched her slowly fade away.可以看出作者很愛他的妻子，但是妻子離開了人世。故選C

10.dream    “夢想”； hope“希望，信心”； energy “能量，精力”； wish “希望，愿望”。

hope用作名詞的基本意思是有可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的“希望”或“期望”,也可表示“有希望的人或事物”。作“希望,期望”解時(shí),既可用作可數(shù)名詞,也可用作不可數(shù)名詞; 作“有希望的人或事物”解時(shí)是可數(shù)名詞,常用于單數(shù)形式。hope常與介詞of或for連用,其后可接名詞、動(dòng)名詞或動(dòng)名詞的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)。其后還常接由that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句。

wish的基本意思是“希望”“想要”,指對未曾達(dá)到、難以達(dá)到或不可能達(dá)到的目標(biāo)極其渴望。wish還可作“祝愿”解。

dream的基本意思是“夢”,指人在睡眠時(shí)在大腦中形成一種幻覺。dream還可指“夢想,理想”,指在人的頭腦中形成的某種愿望; 用于口語中還可指夢一般美好的人或物,即“好極了,太美了”。引申可指“幻想”。

energy的基本意思是“活力”“干勁”“能力”,多用作不可數(shù)名詞,在指人的“精力”時(shí)多用復(fù)數(shù)形式。引申可表示“能”“能量”“能源”。

energy作“能力”解時(shí),其后面可用動(dòng)詞不定式作定語,但不可用 v -ing形式。

這里作者要給小女孩可以實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望，選B

11.strike to    sb “給某人一打擊”； happen to sb“發(fā)生在某人身上”； occur to sb“某人突然想到”； hit“打擊”。根據(jù)I called over her waitress and explained that I wanted to buy the girl and her friend’s lunch but I also told her not to tell her it was me. “我”突然有了一個(gè)想法，故選C

12.hand sb sth“把某物遞給某人”； present sb with sth “把某物贈給某人”； provide sb with sth “為某人提供某物”； bring sb sth“帶給某人某物”。根據(jù)下文The waitress simply handed her the note，作者遞給服務(wù)員一張便條，故選A

17.explain to sb “向某人解釋”； inform sb. of sth. “告知某人某事”； warn sb. of sth. “告誡某人某事”； remind sb. of sth. “提醒某人某事”。根據(jù)上下文語境及短語搭配， 故選A

18.根據(jù)Her eyes tore up, for only a moment, and then came the smile! A huge, beautiful, hopeful smile! She lit up the room and then sat up straight,可以看出小女孩非常高興，只顧高興了，沒有去在乎是誰在看她。故選D

19.根據(jù)…we look or what we have可以看出這里look不及物動(dòng)詞，它后不缺賓語故排除A,根據(jù)It’s all about how much we care and what we do及上下文的語境可以看出應(yīng)選D。

20.even though “即使”； as though “好像”； as if “好像”； if only “只要”。…即使我們那樣做使某個(gè)人感到一時(shí)的快樂，根據(jù)句意故選A

考點(diǎn)：本文是一篇記敘文

點(diǎn)評：講述作者在一次飯館里遇見了一位身患重病的女孩，看到她的痛苦，自己不留姓名的去幫助她的故事，使小女孩無比高興，作者心理得到了一絲安慰。這篇文章對于考生有一定的教育意義，是一篇很好的教育素材。本文考了名詞、形容詞、動(dòng)詞等考查的固定短語比較多，但是考查都是在一定的語言環(huán)境下，所以必須了解上下文之間的語境才能很好的完成閱讀。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Motherhood is a career to respect

　　A WOMAN renewing her driver’s license at the CountyClerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

　　“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a...”

　　“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”

　　“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.

　　One day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.

　　The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate (研究員) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”

　　The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.

　　I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement (聲明) was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

　　“Might I ask,” said the clerk with interest, “just what you do in your field?”

　　Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”

　　There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.

　　As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (激勵(lì)) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants – ages 13, 7, and 3.

　　Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.

　　I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”

　　Motherhood... What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.

How did the female clerk feel at first when the writer told her occupation?

　　A. Cold-hearted.　　　　B. Open-minded.

　　C. Puzzled. 　　　　　　D. Interested.

How many children does the writer have?

　　A. 3　　　 B. 4 　　　C. 7　　　 D. 13

Why did the woman clerk show more respect to the writer?

　　A. Because she thought the writer did admirable work.

　　B. Because the writer cared little about rewards.

　　C. Because the writer did something that she had little knowledge of.

　　D. Because she admired the writer's research work.

What is the point of the article?

　　A. To show that how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.

　　B. To show that the writer had a grander job than Emily.

　　C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career.

　　D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
