試題分析：本文敘述了學(xué)校因?yàn)閷?shí)驗(yàn)室在周末時(shí)著火了，作者和他的同學(xué)認(rèn)為講第一手消息使他們成為同學(xué)中的英雄，就決定去看看現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，結(jié)果被一位老師發(fā)現(xiàn)，把他們交給了Johnson老師，這位老師看到他們嚇得直哆嗦，沒(méi)有對(duì)他們發(fā)脾氣，而是很關(guān)心他們怕他們受傷。作者也受到了感動(dòng)，更加喜歡Johnson老師。

1.考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。confirm確認(rèn) ； believe 相信； hear聽(tīng)說(shuō)； study學(xué)習(xí)。前文提到rumor 后文有explain 因此此處老師應(yīng)該是確認(rèn) (confirm) 這個(gè)謠言，然后對(duì)學(xué)生解釋 (explain) 它。故選A。

2.考查固定短語(yǔ)及上下文的呼應(yīng)。in spite of盡管； due to由于； in terms of依據(jù)； other than除了，不同于。用于大火實(shí)驗(yàn)課將被取消，故選B。

3.考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。remind提醒； inform告知； warn警告； convince 說(shuō)服。他也警告我們不要 那個(gè)房間，故選C。

4.考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。pretend假裝； aske問(wèn)； promise許諾； decide決定。我們兩個(gè)"決定"去查看一下。故選D。

5.考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。enter進(jìn)入； find發(fā)現(xiàn)； examine檢查； reach到達(dá)。我們"到達(dá)"了實(shí)驗(yàn)室，此處容易誤選found找到，通過(guò)第一段說(shuō)實(shí)驗(yàn)課取消可以判斷同學(xué)們以前是上過(guò)實(shí)驗(yàn)課的，因此是知道實(shí)驗(yàn)室在哪里的，不需要去尋找。選enter 和examine 的同學(xué)請(qǐng)注意他們并沒(méi)有進(jìn)到實(shí)驗(yàn)室，而是扒著窗戶在往里看。

6.考查連詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。as因?yàn)椋?while當(dāng)……時(shí)候； when這時(shí)突然； since既然。我們踮著腳尖，通過(guò)窗子向里看試圖看看里面是什么樣子這時(shí)突然一只手抓住了我們的肩膀阻止了我們，故選 C。

7.考查副詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。curiously好奇地； patiently耐心地； silently沉默地；       angrily生氣地。我扭過(guò)頭發(fā)現(xiàn)一位老師正生氣地瞪著眼看我們并大聲叫著，故選D。

8.考查名詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。thoughts想法； excuses借口； words話語(yǔ)； feelings感情。

此題線索在下文，我的腦海中閃過(guò)很多的想法，下文用虛擬語(yǔ)氣講了如果父親知道母親知道會(huì)怎樣，這些是想法，所以選擇thoughts。故選A。

9.考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。help幫助； stop阻止，停止； hate 恨； seize抓住。父親會(huì)殺了我，更糟糕的是，連母親也不幫我阻止他，故選B。

10.考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。fly飛； beat 敲擊； sink下沉； move移動(dòng)�？梢员硎敬粒�(yáng)下山和精神情緒上的降低，如"心往下一沉"或者"陷入某狀態(tài)"，這里也是這種用法，表示情緒低落。故選C。

11.考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。whistling吹哨； chatting聊天； whispering低語(yǔ)； shaking揮動(dòng)。留下我們?cè)诩s翰孫面前發(fā)抖，故選 D。

12.考查名詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。delight高興； surprise驚奇； regret遺憾； sorrow傷心。之前抓到我們的老師很兇，我腦中也閃過(guò)了很多可怕的想法，而Johnson老師并沒(méi)有大喊大叫也沒(méi)有生氣，讓我們感到很驚訝。此處容易誤選delight 高興，按照主人公當(dāng)時(shí)的心里推測(cè)，Johnson 老師沒(méi)有生氣，第一反應(yīng)肯定是驚訝，然后才會(huì)慶幸，所以surprise更合適。故選B。

13.考查副詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。However可是； Therefore因此； Instead反而； Otherwise要不然的話。上下文邏輯可判斷，老師沒(méi)有生氣，"反而"慢慢蹲下來(lái)看著我的眼睛。故選C。

14.考查名詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。concern 擔(dān)心； guilt 內(nèi)疚； comfort 安慰； complaint抱怨。老師在沒(méi)見(jiàn)到孩子之前可能會(huì)有擔(dān)心的情緒，故選A。

15.考查形容詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。frightened害怕的； puzzled困惑的； disappointed失望的； discouraged灰心的。在第53空前， The thought of disappointing Mr. Johnson... 可見(jiàn)Johnson老師是disappointed,故選C。

16.考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。burn燒； hurt受傷； lose失去； blame責(zé)備。實(shí)驗(yàn)室周末著火，周一的時(shí)候老師由于安全考慮取消了實(shí)驗(yàn)課，因?yàn)楹⒆觽內(nèi)?shí)驗(yàn)室很可能被殘留下來(lái)的東西碰到受傷，而不是因?yàn)榕潞⒆觽儽粺�，因�(yàn)榛鹪谥苣┮呀?jīng)被撲滅了。故選B。

17.考查名詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。consequences后果； destructions 破環(huán)； influences影響；     surroundings環(huán)境。我看著那個(gè)人的眼睛使我無(wú)法想象回家后的后果，故選A。

18.考查形容詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。shocked震驚； confused困惑； bored煩人的；shamed 羞愧的。讓Johnson老師失望的感覺(jué)使我羞愧，故選D。

19.考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。care關(guān)心； hope希望； love 愛(ài)； desire要求。老師在我讓他失望后仍然喜歡我，因此那一刻我對(duì)他的愛(ài)增加了，故選C。

20.考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。behavior行為； freedom 自由； dignity 尊嚴(yán)； safety安全。上文提到老師說(shuō)我可能會(huì)因此受傷，因此安全更為合適，故選D。

考點(diǎn)：故事類短文。

點(diǎn)評(píng)：完形填空是一種既要求有正確的閱讀理解能力，有要求有扎實(shí)的語(yǔ)法、詞匯和文化知識(shí)積累，是一種全面考查考生全面語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用能力的題型。因此考生要扎實(shí)自己的語(yǔ)言基礎(chǔ)。只有過(guò)硬的語(yǔ)言基礎(chǔ)和細(xì)微的細(xì)節(jié)處理得當(dāng)才能在完形填空中拿高分。人生百味類的文章一般是通過(guò)生活中經(jīng)歷的一些小事而得出相應(yīng)的人生哲理。這類題考生可根據(jù)自己的人生體驗(yàn)進(jìn)行做題。

But,  41  , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very   42  city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he   43   to tell me all about his friend.
His friend’s main  44  in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he  45  had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming  46  , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several   47  like that, including my brother, who was doctor in California. He    48  that maybe there were more private courts in the country, than he   49  but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me   50  my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence 51 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a   52 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I  said I felt that really was a coincidence because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had   53  the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.
“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He   54  and said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my  55   to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.

"Hey, Tahlia! How's the model?"
I had just taken a bite of my hot dog __21__ I heard a familiar voice yelling at me from across the crowded school yard. I saw a group of popular girls who were all __22__.
"What kind of __23_ are you going to do? An ad for a Frankenstein movie?" More laughter. My stomach twisted into a tight knot. How could they humiliate (羞辱) me like this, __24__ the entire school? As I walked into the cafeteria, I __25__ the dark scars on my right hand.
At 9 months old, I knocked over a tea pot and dumped boiling water allover my hands and stomach. My parents __26__ me to the hospital, but I had to have skin graft (移植) operation. I was in so much pain! But what __27__ me most were the cruel things people said about how I looked, __28__ that day at lunch.
The girls were being supermean to me because they'd heard I was considering doing some modeling. A close friend had suggested that I shouldn't let my scars limit me and that I might __29__ a good model.
But after that __30__ at school, I was sure I'd made a huge mistake. Upon arriving home, I covered the mirror with a blanket, fell on my bed and sobbed.
The next day, I __31__ myself to go to school. At lunch my best friend Jesse tried to encourage me: "You can't __32_ forever, Tahlia. So what if you have a few scars? Just go outside and show them that you're just as good as they are." Although I knew he was right, I couldn’t __33__ standing up for myself like that.
However, that night as I sat on the bed, my friend's words replayed in my mind. I'm __34__ hiding from myself, I thought. How stupid! Slowly, I stood up, walked over to the __35__, and tossed the blanket aside. There, in the mirror I saw a slim, dark-haired, blue-eyed girl, looking just fine, __36__ with a few scars.
The next day I wore a comfortable T-shirt to school. What's more, I had lunch outside the cafeteria, __37__ beside those mean girls. They were shocked that I should dare to walk into their territory. I felt __38_ too—free and happy.
Sometimes people still look at me strangely. They __39_ and stare, but I don't let it get to me. I have applied to several modeling companies, and at least one company is considering me for jobs. Maybe I'll never __40_ posing on the runway, but I do know one thing: I'm done.
