She looked(74)disappointed(disappoint).I had a customer discount (折扣) card and it was still active.I told the girl(75)gently(gentle),"Hang on,don't worry,you'll have the money to buy the book."I put in my password.
She gave me a(76)thankful(thank) smile.With a dollar left,she and her boyfriend left the store.I believed that I would never see(77)them(they)again.
I don't remember(78)howlong it was,but they did return later that evening just to bring me(79)abeautiful card that said"It's people like you who make the world a(30)better(good) place to live in."
I'm deeply moved by the little girl and her boyfriend.Infact,they have also made the world a little brighter.

分析 【文章大意】本文讲的是一美元的价值.故事说的是书店售货员为顾客支付了一美元的购书款,顾客非常激动,并专门回访,留下一张卡片,上面写着:正是有你这样的人,才使这个世界变得更加美好.

解答 71.to be.考查seem to do(be)句型.句意为:他们似乎是通常给商店员工出难题的那种人.分析句子成分可知,空格前面为系动词seem,故填不定式.seem to be 看上去是;似乎是.故填to be.
72.workers.考查名词复数.句意为:他们似乎是通常给商店员工出难题的那种人.分析句子成分可知,空格处为间接宾语,故填名词.worker为可数名词,要用其复数形式workers表示"工人"这个集体.mall workers商店员工.故填workers.
73.buying.考查动名词.句意为:当他们到收银台时,她却缺少一、两美元购书款.分析句子成分可知,空格处为介词of的宾语,故填动名词.buy为动词,意思是"买",其动名词为buying.故填buying.
74.disappointed.考查形容词.句意为:她看上去很失望.分析句子成分可知,空格前面为系动词look(looked),故填形容词.disappoint为动词,而disappointed为形容词,意思是"感到失望的".looked disappointed看上去很失望.(注意:disappointing也是形容词,但其意思是"让人失望的").故填disappointed.
75.gently.考查副词.句意为:我轻声地告诉那个姑娘.分析句子成分可知,空格处为状语,故填副词.gentle为形容词;gently为副词,意思是"温柔地".故填gently.
76.thankful.考查形容词.句意为:她感激地对我微笑着.分析句子成分可知,空格处为定语,故填形容词.thank为动词;thankful为形容词,意思是"感激的".故填thankful.
77.them.考查人称代词.句意为:我相信,我再也不愿见到他们.分析句子成分可知,空格处为宾语,故填人称代词的宾格.they为主格,them为宾格,意思是"他们".see them 看到他们.故填them.
78.how.考查宾语从句.句意为:我不记得过了多久.分析句子成分可知,空格后面是宾语,即宾语从句,需填一个词来引导.根据从句中的long,确定填how. how long多久.故填how.
79.a.考查不定冠词.句意为:但是,后来那天晚上他们确实又回来过,仅仅是为了给我带来一张美丽的卡片.分析句子成分可知,空格之后的名词card为直接宾语,且为可数名词单数,故填不定冠词来修饰它.a beautiful card一张精美的卡片.故填a.
80.better.考查形容词比较级.句意为:上面写着:正是那些像你一样的人使这个世界变得更加美好.分析句子成分可知,空格处为定语,故填形容词.根据句意,正是由于有好人,才改变了世界,使之更美好.故填good的比较级better,意思是"更好的".故填better.

点评 首先要通读短文,掌握大意,特别要注意上下文之间的联系,或根据所给单词,或根据首字母提示,选择恰当单词的恰当形式来填空,就可以确定答案.

5.Everyone gets sick of hearing."Put on your seat belt!"But it's good advice.People who wear seat belts are 45percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car.
The US government wants more seat belt laws.It says children aged 4to 15are often killed in car accidents.In 2005,there were 1,627children aged 4to 15killed in car accidents.More than 1,000of those children were not wearing seat belts.If they had been wearing seat belts,500of those children could be alive today.
These children are too old to be in car seats,but they often sit in the back seat.Seat belt laws in many states,including Wisconsin,only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts.Children who aren't wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car.The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car.
New laws could require children aged 4to 8to be in booster seats in the car.Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly.Right now,only 5percent of children aged 4to 8are seated in booster seats(儿童座椅).
While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not,children are too young to make that choice.Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt,make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats.It's the law and it will save their lives.
34.The underlined sentence"Everyone gets sick of hearing"in the first paragraph means"C".
A.there is something wrong with everyone's ears
B.all people fall ill when they hear something
C.many people don't pay attention to wearing seat belts
D.none of the people knows it is a piece of good advice
35.More than two-third of 1,627children were killed becauseA.
A.they weren't using seat belts
B.they were too careful when they walked on the road
C.they were not old enough to sit in the car
D.they wore seat belts
36.You must get your children to put on seat belts in order toB.
A.keep them comfortable in the car seat
B.keep them safe
C.keep them awake in the car all the time
D.prevent all kinds of traffic accidents
37.What would be the best title of this passage?A
A.Children Should Put on Seat Belts.
B.Too Many Traffic Accidents Happened Recently.
C.Traffic Laws Are Very Important.
D.Parents Are Important to Children.
