We can only show mercy to the    4   man who had to stop his car soon after setting out from a country village to drive to London. Hearing a strange noise from the

On learning this, the man drove away as quickly as possible. After an hour's    10  driving, he arrived safely in London, where he parked his car outside a    11   and went in.

Very thankful to the driver for this unexpected gift, the bee-keeper took the queen and her thousands of followers home in a large box.

试题分析:本文讲述了一个人的后车轮附近藏着一只蜂王,导致一群蜜蜂追随它的汽车的故事。最后他给养蜂人打电话,让他把蜜蜂给取走了。
小题1:考查名词。connection连接; difference不同; communication 交流,通讯; similarity相似。这里指的是人与昆虫的区别,注意下文提到的the former(前者)和the latter(后者)是在对两者的不同作比较。故选B。
小题2:考查名词。passengers乘客; insects昆虫; former前者; first第一。根据下文the latter quickly,所以与它相对应,故选C。
小题3:考查动词。give给; keep保持; pay花费; draw attention 引起注意。句中的while 表对比。前面说偷乘车辆或船只的人通常都会尽量不让人发现,而“偷”乘车辆或船只的昆虫则不同,怎么个不同?那就是它们会draw attention (引起注意)。故选D。
小题4:考查形容词。unfortunate不幸的; careless粗心的; unpleasant讨厌的,令人不快的; hopeless没有希望的。根据下文可知,这个人很不走运。故选A。
小题5:考查名词。front前面; back后面; left左边; right右边。根据文章最后一段倒数第2句He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back. of the car 可知,此处应填 back。故选B。
小题6:考查动词。drive开始; continue继续; push推; forc强迫。既然通过检查没有发现什么问题,所以他就继续(continue)赶路。故选B。
小题7:考查副词。normally正常地; gently轻轻地; quietly安静地; immediately立刻。由于是一种奇怪的声音,并且他几次下车查看,说明这种声音不算normally;又由于后面说…became even louder,说明它不gently;actually 在此不合语境。故选D,指车一开动,又马上出现了那种声音。故选D。
小题8:考查形容词。black黑色的; beautiful漂亮的; white 白的; colorful彩色的。根据下文可知,跟在车后的是一群蜜蜂,作者把它形容成一团乌云,故用black。故选 A。
小题9:考查介词。below在……下面; ahead向前; nearby在附近; behind在后面。
根据上下文语境可知,这群蜜蜂不是在车底,是在附近,也不是前面,也不是在车后面。故选C。
小题10:考查形容词。boring烦人的; careful仔细的; exciting令人高兴的;  hard难的。司机尽量把车开快希望能甩掉其后的蜜蜂,这样的的驾驶肯定很hard。故选D。
小题11:考查名词。hotel旅馆; museum历史博物馆; hospital医院; school学校。根据下文提到a customer 可排除B、C、D。故选A。
小题12:考查动词。break打破; move移动; hurry匆忙; drop下降。因为这位看见他停车的顾客发现他的车上满是蜜蜂,所以就匆忙匆忙(hurried)进来告诉他。故选C。
小题13:考查形容词。be crowded with 挤满了……;be covered with 被……所覆盖;be filled with装满……;be equipped with 由……所装备。根据语境,只有B较合适。故选B。
小题14:考查动词。advis建议; require要求; order命令; request请求。advise sb that… 意为“建议某人……”,此处用的是该结构的被动式,其意为“有人建议他……”。故选A。
小题15:考查名词。bee-keeper养蜂人; policeman警察; waiter服务员;repairman修理工。要对付这批蜜蜂,显然只有bee-keeper(养蜂人)最合适。故选A。
点评:完形填空所用的短文一般不给标题,但短文的主题句,往往在每段文章的首句,有时也出现在文章的中间或结束处。主题句提供全篇的性质、大意等,这是深入了解全文的“窗口”,甚至能以语句为立足点,从该句的时态、语气推测全文的主要内容。

So I backed up and waved her into my place in the front of the line.
To my surprise, this young girl did not say thanks. I was cool with it because I thought that I had done something nice for a change. After the girl received her food and pulled away, I pulled into the ordering spot, not mad, but hungry, and the employee said, “Hi, that girl just paid for your food.”

Abraham Lincoln was born into poverty 200 years ago. At any other time and place, this lowly origin would have dictated his future, but in Lincoln’s case, his self-determination and force of will made it possible for him to secure his seat in his country's history. He has become a role model in the self-made America.
If you want to learn about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. Abraham Lincoln had two business ventures failed, and the second one made him bankrupt, so he had to spend the next 17 years of his life paying for the debt. He also lost 8 different elections. It seemed that he had never done things right at the first time: the first time he ran for state legislature for Congress, for land officer, for Senate, all of these failed, and the first time he sought the vice-presidential nomination, he got less than 100 votes nationally. But he never found it too shameful to carry on his mission. Then later in 1860, on such a rough road, he made it to the White House. He lived up to his famous saying, “Always bear in mind that your own determination to success is more important than any other.”
He could have quit many times-—-but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit,he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of America. One important way Lincoln influences present society is that we look back on his lifeas a role model for future generations. Lincoln’s high character influences us because we compare present-day politicians to the example Lincoln set. A major influence Lincoln has on the united States today is simply through the good example he set when it came to honesty, persistence and leadership.
小题1:According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is true?
A. Lincoln was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
B. Like Lincoln, a poor origin leads to a bright future.
C. America is considered self-made because of Lincoln.
D. Self-determination and will contributed to Lincoln’s success.
小题2:What is Paragraph Two mainly about?
A. How Lincoln made his way to the White House.
B. Lincoln suffered various failures.
C. Lincoln was a man who never quit.
D. Lincoln once lost two business ventures.
小题3:Which is the correct order of what happened to Lincoln?
a. He was paying off his debt.  b. He failed in the run for land officer,
c. He got less than 100 votes nationally. d. he stuck to his mission, e. He went bankrupt.
A.b-c-c-d-aB.e-a-b-c-dC.e-c-a-b-dD.d-c-a-b-c
小题4:What’s the function of Lincoln’s famous saying in Paragraph Two?
A. To tell us that determination is the most important to success.
B. To attract readers1 attention.
C. To show why Lincoln was able to carry on in hard times.
D. To summarize Lincoln’s story.
小题5:Why does the writer consider Lincoln as one of the greatest presidents in America?
A. Because he still influences America as a role model.
B. Because he set a good example to the present politicians.
C. Because of his great personalities.
D. Because he went through diverse difficulties.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race.

I 49 that I would not give up running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare 50 and one day I would be one of those 70-year-old persons who were still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my 51 .
