It was pouring outside. We all stood there   26   , some patiently , others annoyed   27   nature messed up (弄糟) their hurried day . I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens  28    away the dirt and dust of the world.

“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice    29  me.

“No, honey. We’ll wait until it   30   down a bit,” Mom replied.

The young girl waited about another minute and    31  : “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”

“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.

“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she  32    her Mom’s arm.

“This morning?   33   did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”

“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,” If God can get us through this, he can get us through   34  .”

The entire crowd turned   35  . Mom paused and thought for a moment about    36  she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being   37   . But then we heard, “Honey, you are   38  . Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then    39  they ran.

We all stood    40 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were   41   by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the   42   to their cars. Circumstances (境况) or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your   43  . But no one can ever take away your precious   44  . So, don’t forget to make time and take the   45   to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

【解析】

试题分析:

1.B。外面下雨了,人们都在躲雨,等候雨停。下文母亲的话“We’ll wait until...”也给出了提示。从后半句看,一些人耐心,一些人有些恼怒,所以不能说大家都在抱怨。

2.C。别的人恼怒,当然因为大自然的突然降雨打乱了他们正常的工作生活节奏。

3.D。雨水冲刷走了世界上的尘土和脏物。

4.A。catch me相当于catch my attention,“引起了我的注意力”,因为此前我正沉醉于雨水带来的感受中。并没有让我恼怒,也谈不上给我留下了很深的印象。

5.A。slow down指雨下得缓和一点,不能说stop a bit,停止不存在程度上的一点。6.B。此句话和前面说的话一样,所以是重复了一遍。

7.A。小孩子想让母亲一起在雨中走,而母亲又没有答应,所以孩子要拉着母亲的手往外走。

8.C。从女儿的回答“When you were talking ...”可知母亲是问小孩自己是什么时候说那话的。

9.C。如果上帝能让小孩的父亲度过这一难关,则能让他们度过任何“难关”。

10.B。still一动不动;silent沉默,不出声。对于小孩的这一天真美好的愿望,大家显然都事先没有想到,所以都在沉默,并静观下面事情的发展。

11.A。what引导宾语从句,what在句中充当say的宾语,母亲在考虑要和女儿怎么说。

12.B。母亲知道,孩子说出的话,在一些人看来肯定会是有点傻的,因为上帝是不存在的,这种愿望只是一种幻想。dishonest不诚实的,欺骗的。孩子的说法是一种美好愿望,当然算不上是欺骗。

13.A。母亲不愿破坏孩子的童真,所以表示赞同“你是对的”,是肯定孩子的话就是自己讲过的话,而不是说孩子聪明。

14.A。run off跑开。此处强调off,故把这个词提前。

15.D。上文的silent以及下文的smiling,laughing可以看出母女的行为已引起了人们的关注,他们都在看着母女俩在雨中跑。

16.A。从定语从句可知,母女的行为也感染了其他的人,又有几个人也加入她们的行列,在雨中奔跑。follow跟着。

17.B。all the way一路上。way和后面的to搭配。这几个人一边跑一边又叫又笑,很兴奋。

18.C。母女的美好愿望是源于小孩的父亲得癌症了,所以说境况可以带走人们的健康。

19.B。从下文“… make memories every day!”可知,自己创造的美好记忆是不会被带走的。

20.C。take the chance / opportunities to do …抓住机会做某事,为固定搭配。该句的意思是“抓住创造美好记忆的机会

考点:考查人生百味类完型填空

点评:本文是从一对母女躲雨是的对话,和大家在雨中快乐的奔跑,说明我们要抓住创造美好记忆的机会,文章内容浅显,主要考查在上下文中对词义的辨析理解,要求考生有一定的思维转换能力。对于文章的上下文串联有较强的理解,语法规则的使用和辨析要求较高。

When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter(炼铜厂),and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest.One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area.Paul knocked him down.From then on, something happened inside him.

Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office.He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back.The answer from that big industry was “No”.

Paul then went to college to study the science of plants.Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren't any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds.It would be a waste of his life to try to do it.Everyone knew that, he was told.Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted.

Paul later got married and had some kids.But his dream would not die.And then one night he did what he could with what he had.As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote.Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.

And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass.For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense.Slowly rabbits appeared.Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.

Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has.It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child.

When Paul was a boy,______________.

       A.he had decided never to leave his hometown

       B.the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelter

       C.no laws were made to protect the environment against pollution

       D.he had determined to stop the copper smelter polluting the area

Why did Paul go to college to study the science of plants?

       A.Because he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself.

       B.Because he was interested in planting trees since he was young.

       C.Because he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help him.

       D.Because he thought his knowledge would make his advice more persuasive.

What does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense” probably refer to?

       A.That it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.

       B.That his normal work and life would be greatly affected.

       C.That no one would like to join him in the efforts.

       D.That he had to keep everything he did secret.

The company hired Paul to plant trees and grass because___________.

     A.they realized the importance of environmental protection

Over the past 20 years, AIDS and war have claimed the parents of 2.4 million Ugandan children.When Alexis Hefley first visited the country,, in 1993, she saw the children's sorrow, but the former Texas banker also spotted "a world of possibility".She watched as they danced for tourists to earn money, and she had a thought: If people in America could see them perform, they'd support them too.                   

The children's passion and talent inspired Hefley to work with the kids at an orphanage(孤儿院)in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda, to organize a traveling dance troupe(团).The goals: to give the problems in Uganda a human face, to raise awareness and to raise money.

The first tour touched down at six American cities in 1994.Today, the 22-member troupe, known as the Spirit of Uganda, travels across America every two years.The young performers bring their energy and joy to audiences across the U.S.and help support hundreds of Ugandan orphans back home.Among the young dancers, some earn scholarships to attend the U.S.colleges, and then return to their country to help rebuild it.

Photojournalist Douglas Menuez first photographed the troupe in 2006 -?a project that led to his new book, Transcendent Spirit, from which these images are drawn.At each performance, the dancers' faces show pure joy, quite an achievement given the hardships they've faced."They look to the future, not the past," explains Menuez."They embrace beauty and good in the world." As one dancer puts it, "People think we have lost our parents.We've had so many problems.But then they see us perform.They see our smiles.And they learn that life goes on."

What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?     

       A.How miserable Ugandan orphans' life is.       

       B.How the dance troupe was set up.

       C.How the young dancers earned money.        

       D.How the orphans lost their parents.|

What do we learn about the Spirit of Uganda?            

       A.It was started by a journalist.

       B.It travels across the U.S.annually.

       C.It consists of two dozen performers.

       D.Its dancers have chances to study in the U.S.

In the eyes of Menuez, the young performers are_____. 

       A.beautiful            B.talented    C.optimistic      D.humorous

What might be the most suitable title for the passage?      

       A.Ugandan orphans turn tragedy into dance         

       B.Transcendent Spirit: A close look at Uganda           

       C.AIDS and war are claiming people's lives                 

       D.Lots of people are helping Ugandan orphans
