Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans．With each passing day everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell．Upon its    36   everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David
David was a small boy in ragged clothes．I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so   37   for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves．But something made David   38 ．I can still remember he was always   39   a smile and willing to help．He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor．We never talked much．He   40   just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home
Weeks passed and the   41   over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break．I smiled in   42   as the last of them hurried out of the door．Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk．
"I have something for you．" he said and   43   from behind his back a small box．  44   it to me, he said anxiously, "Open it．" I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it．I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw nothing．I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it’s   45 ．"
"Oh no it isn’t" said David．"It’s full of love．My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there．"
Tears filled my eyes   46  I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to．After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning   47  the little empty box set on my desk．

這是一篇記敘文,情節(jié)簡(jiǎn)單,寓意深刻。情節(jié)和語(yǔ)境,是記敘文完形填空的重要依據(jù),
小題1:. B。按情節(jié),本題中its指的是school bell,所以只能和ring搭配。
小題1:. D。在語(yǔ)境中辨析副詞詞義。inappropriately 意思是“不適當(dāng)?shù)亍? 根據(jù)下文中的without a coat, boots, or gloves可知戴維穿得不合季節(jié)。題中所給的四個(gè)副詞都是加前綴或后綴變來(lái)的,且平日練習(xí)時(shí)的呈現(xiàn)頻率都較低,故詞義生疏,增加了選擇的難度。
小題1:. C。考查形容詞的詞義辨析,special意思是“特殊的;特別的”,上文情節(jié)說(shuō)到戴維穿得不好,下文說(shuō)到作者能記得的是戴維臉上一直掛著微笑,總是樂(lè)于助人。上下文的對(duì)比描寫,說(shuō)明他與眾不同。
小題1:. C。在語(yǔ)境中辨析動(dòng)詞意義,wear常見的意思是“穿著,戴著”,可在這里意思是“呈現(xiàn),顯現(xiàn)”, 描繪戴維臉上經(jīng)常掛著燦爛的笑容。
小題1:. A。考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。would在這里的意思是“老是,總是”。
小題1:. B�？疾槊~辨析。argument意為“爭(zhēng)論”,excitement意為“激動(dòng)”,movement意為“運(yùn)動(dòng)”,judgment意為“判斷”。按語(yǔ)境,應(yīng)選 excitement,指學(xué)生期待已久的圣誕到來(lái)時(shí)的興奮之情。
小題1:. A。在語(yǔ)境中確定名詞。該題前后都在渲染孩子們盼望節(jié)日來(lái)臨的急切心情,又提到“before the holiday break”,顯然是指在校的放假前最后一天。
小題1:. A。在語(yǔ)境中確定名詞。該空的前邊是介詞in,與所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都可以構(gòu)成搭配,in relief意為“由于寬慰”,in return意為“作為報(bào)答”,in vain意為“徒勞地”,in control意為“在控制過(guò)程中”。從前面幾個(gè)名詞如excitement ,restlessness所描繪的語(yǔ)境可以看出,面臨節(jié)日,放假前的孩子們已經(jīng)心猿意馬。放假后看到最后一個(gè)孩子離校,老師寬慰地露出笑容。故選A。
小題1:. D。在語(yǔ)境中確定動(dòng)詞。searched意為“搜找”,found意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)”,raised意為“舉起”,pulled意為“拉出”。按情節(jié),此處戴維的動(dòng)作應(yīng)是從身后把那個(gè)盒子拉出來(lái)。故選D。
小題1:. B�？疾閯�(dòng)詞的搭配。戴維從背后拿出盒子,緊接下一個(gè)動(dòng)作就是把盒子遞給老師。hand sth to sb 意為“把……交給某人”。
小題1:. B�？疾樾稳菰~。由上文中的saw nothing可知盒子是空的,故選B。
小題1:. A。考查連詞的用法。這一句的意思是:戴維臟兮兮的臉上洋溢著自豪的神情。我看著這張平時(shí)很少關(guān)注的臉蛋,淚水在眼眶里打轉(zhuǎn)。這里需要as來(lái)引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。
小題1:. B。介詞的意義辨析。該句的意思是:我從未忘記至今還放在我桌子上的那只小空盒子背后所賦予的深意。由語(yǔ)境可知,這兒是指“空盒子背后”的意義。

A round of applause, please, for the Indian man who recently sang for 80 hours straight, setting a new Guinness world record. It’s an impressive feat, to be sure, but let’s just hope he still has a voice. According to Indian newspapers, Rajesh Burbure has been told to keep silent for several days so his vocal cords (聲帶) can heal.
It was reported that Burbure and his family are in a celebratory mood. “It’s a proud moment for all of us,” his wife told DNAIndia.com.
I, on the other hand, am unable to share their enthusiasm. Don’t get me wrong: I hope the 35-year-old Burbure lives forever, sells a million records and becomes an international celebrity. But his record–singing for 80 hours straight–is about as meaningful as most of the other curious but crazy feats listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Granted , I’m not qualified to speak on the subject. I’ve got no world records to my name– and I never expect to have any. Then again, maybe I am qualified to speak for those of us who have better things to do than train for years to sing an 80-hour medley (混合曲) of pop songs.
But let’s not just pick on poor Burbure. He’s not the only person chasing meaningless accolades. The Guinness Book of World Records is full of the names of people who at one time grew the longest hair, or built the biggest bicycle, or baked the largest cheesecake.
To all of these enterprising (有進(jìn)取心的) souls I ask, simply, “What was it all for?”
Congratulations! For all of your painstaking effort, you became a footnote in a thick book that no one reads, except for you and the person who will eventually surpass you–with one more hour of singing, a few more centimeters of steel or a few more pounds of cheese.
After all, records are made to be broken.
小題1:From the text, we can learn that the author         .
A．has no Guinness records, so he admires Burbures’ feat
B．feels it is a pity he was not invited to share the happiness with the Burbures
C．thinks singing for 80 hours straight is completely meaningless
D．is quite worried about Burbure’s vocal cords
小題2:Before someone wins a Guinness record, he or she has to         .
A．become an international celebrity
B．know all about Guinness record
C．practice a great deal
D．bear great stress for fear of injury
小題3:We can infer from the article that        .
A．a(chǎn)fter the 80 hours of singing, Burbure could no longer speak
B．Burbure’ wife didn’t support his attempt to make a Guinness record
C．many have criticized Burbure for his stupid behavior
D．challenging a Guinness record may be harmful to the health
小題4:The author’s attitude to the Guinness world records mentioned in the passage is         .
A．positiveB．impressed
C．negativeD．touched
小題5:What is the best title for the passage?
A．What Was the Point?
B．Records Are Made to be Broken
C．A New Indian Guinness Record
D．The Guinness Book Is Boring

A morning rarely began so perfect. I took in the fresh air and felt my heart run into an enthusiastic rhythm. Though cool, the sun warmed my back as it rose over the horse from not far from my house. The slightest wind danced on my skin. Just enough to keep a runner form overheating. My ever-faithful jogging partner, a black dog named Nika pulled my leg with her mouth, mirroring my eagerness to start our run.
We raced forward with determination, ready to leap tall buildings and race against speeding trains. We pushed harder and ran faster, demonstration our skill and impressing passing motorists and neighbors.
We kept on running until we hit the Beast, a name for a very difficult, nearly two-mile long steep climb.
Only a few paces into the Beast, I gasped for air. Far short of superhero status, my enthusiasm and active steps were lost somewhere at the base of the hill. A vision of the newspaper and a cup of coffee waiting in my kitchen appeared, attracting me to turn back toward home.
With a glance I noticed Nika wasn’t doing any better. She continued to faithfully follow me, putting one paw in front of the other, but without her former eagerness. Her tiredness touched me. And in that moment, I felt a sudden spark of renewed determination to press on. I couldn’t allow this mountain to get the better of us. To improve both our spirits, I managed to shout, “Good girl, Nika! Keep going…you can do it!”
“I’m encouraging a dog, for heaven’s sake!’’ I needed to pull myself together. With a few simple words, I changed our course. One moment we were on the edge of quitting. The next, our feet picked up the pace and we continued. Though tired and discouraged myself, with a few kind words I impacted a dog’s ability to go further. I’m sure I could have completed the opposite with ill-chosen comments and an unpleasant tone. Instead, the Beast was defeated and we flew like heroes the rest of the way home.
Life is full of beasts to conquer. For some, it is the seemingly impossible climb of cancer. For others, their beast takes the shape of parenting a child or a teenager. Uphill climbs come in all shapes and sizes, common only in their ability to defeat, discourage and tempt tired travelers to quit. Sometimes all that’s needed is a few spoken, well-timed words of encouragement from a fellow runner – someone who sees the struggle, dares to jogs alongside, and cares enough to say, “Keep going! You can do it! You’re not alone. I believe in you!”
小題1: The writer starts the text by describing________.
A．the beautiful scene of the morning
B．his or her preparations for a jogging
C．a(chǎn) lively dog named Nika
D．the growth of crops at the farm
小題2: The writer mentioned the newspaper and coffee to suggest that he or she _______.
A．liked reading newspapers while drinking coffee
B．had an intention to give up running
C．would treat himself or herself to coffee after running
D．might appear on the newspaper for the long running
小題3: The writer decided to continue running _______.
A．a(chǎn)fter he or she found the dog was still energetic
B．because they came near the top of the hill
C．when he or she noticed the tired dog
D．before they arrived at the bottom of the hill
小題4: What does the writer expect to show by telling the story?
A．Words are powerful than deeds.
B．Beasts in life aren’t easily to conquer.
C．Dogs are the best friend of humans.
D．Try it one more time before giving up.

To son, Cecil,
Just a quick note before I start in earnest. When I wrote this, you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the war on Terrorism (恐怖主義). On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at your little faces and couldn’t help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience. When I was a little boy aged 6, my dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the war there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how rough it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn’t happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don’t make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mom. You will be the man of the Cawley family. Be good my son and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again.

Years ago while lying in my hammock （吊床）and drinking JD from the bottle, I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence．Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door neighbor' s 10 - year - old daughter' s rabbit．For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard．I knew that day would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast．
The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower．Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as "natural caused"．
Back to the hammock and JD．Within the hour the neighbor' s Volvo palled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage．Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed: " D - A - D - D – Y�。�！"
Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage．Being the good neighbor that I am, I rushed to fence and asked if there was anything I could do．

If you dream in color, you’re not alone: the majority of people today claim to have colorful dreams. But it wasn’t always thus. Research conducted in the early part of the last century consistently found that people reported dreaming most often in black and white.
According to Eva Murzyn at the University of Dundee, there are at least two possible explanations for this strange situation.
The first is the methods used in the researches. The early studies tended to use questionnaires（問(wèn)卷）, while more modern studies use dream diaries (filled in upon rising in the morning) or so-called “REM-awakening”, which involves interrupting people’s dream-filled periods of sleep to find out what they were dreaming about. People’s memories of their dreams are likely to be less accurate by using the questionnaire approach and they are more likely to reflect their beliefs about the form dreams generally take in an unclear way.
The second explanation has to do with black and white television and film. It's possible that the sudden increase in black and white film and television during the first half of the last century either affected the form of people’s dreams at that time, or affected their beliefs about the form dreams generally take.
According to Murzyn’s findings, it’s the explanation based on media exposure that carries more weight. She used both questionnaire and diary methods to study the dreams of 30 older (average age 64) and 30 younger people (average age 21).
The methodological technique made no difference to the type of dreams people reported. However, the extremely important thing was that, across both questionnaires and diaries, the older participants (who had had significant early life exposure to black and white media) reported experiencing significantly more black and white dreams over the last ten days than the younger participants (22 per cent vs. 4 per cent).
Another finding was that older participants reported black and white dreams and colorful dreams to be of equal clearness. By contrast, the younger participants reported that the quality of black and white dreams was poorer. This raises the possibility that the younger participants didn’t really have any black and white dreams at all, but were simply regarding poorly remembered dreams as black and white.
小題1:We learn from the text that ______.
A．people in the first half of the last century never had colorful dreams
B．older people are more likely to have black and white dreams
C．the dreams of younger people are always colorful
D．people today don’t have white and black dreams any more
小題2:What did Murxyn do to find out the explanations for the colors in people’s dreams?
A．She applied both questionnaire and diary methods to study people’s dreams.
B．She used diary methods to record people’s dreams.
C．She chose 60 people to answer her questions about their dreams.
D．She woke people up to record the colors of their dreams.
小題3:What does the underlined expression “carry more weight” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．be heavierB．be more powerfulC．be more importantD．be more useful
小題4:From Murxyn’s findings we can infer that ______.
A．both older people and younger people could report colorful dreams clearly
B．young people don’t have any black and white dreams in fact
C．the color of a person’s dream is decided by one’s age
D．it is probably the color of media that affects the color of one’s dream

Sooner or later, many families will face the situation of moving. The experience can be very bad for kids, who may not be a part of the decision to move and may not understand it. You can take steps to make the whole process (過(guò)程) easier for everyone.
Many kids like to stay in familiar places. So as you consider a move, weigh the benefits (好處) of that change against the comfort that neighborhood, school, and social life give your kids. If your family has recently dealt with a big life change, such as death, you may want to put off a move to give your children time to accept the fact.
The decision to move may be out of your hands, perhaps because of a new job or money problems. Even if you’re not happy about the move, try to keep a positive (積極的) attitude to it. During the move, a parent’s attitude can greatly influence kids.
No matter what the results are, the most important way to prepare kids to move is to talk about it. Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible. You can ask kids to join in the planning such as house-hunting or the search for a new school. This can make the change feel less like it’s being forced (被迫) on them. If you’re moving across town, try to take your children to visit the new house and the new neighborhood.
A move can have many problems, but good things also come from this kind of change. Your family might grow closer and you may learn more about each other by going through it together.
小題1:According to the text, a move can be a bad experience for kids because ________.
A．they may feel they’re forced to do soB．they often feel lonely in a new school
C．they don’t like their busy parentsD．they are tired of the moving process
小題2:In which situation does the author advise to put off a move?
A．The child’s birthday is coming.B．A family member has died.
C．The new neighborhood isn’t safe.D．The parents have money problems.
小題3:Which is the most important when making the move easier for children?
A．Allowing them to choose a school by themselves.
B．Trying not to show them the bad parts of a move.
C．Offering them as much information as possible.
D．Promising to choose a new house with them.
小題4:The author wrote this text mainly to tell us ________.
A．what we should do before a move
B．how to prepare children for a move
C．how a move can change the family
D．why parents should talk to children often
