  That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother 26 me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. __27_ , on this special morning, I felt like getting up early.

I stood by my window overlooking(眺望,俯视) the _28_, having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something _29_ in life.

As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and drive off, I 30 an old man on a bicycle with a bucket(水桶) _31_ on its handle(把手) and pieces of old and used cloth in a basket and bottles on its back-carriage(后座). He 32 from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already 33 washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.

Several thoughts 34 my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) 35 T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern 36 would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed 37 with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, 38 passers-by(过路人) and stopping to have a free talk now and then 39 elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.

There was a noticeable sense of 40 in the way he seemed to be doing things— 41 the windscreen (挡风玻璃), then standing back to look at it proudly; scrubbing (擦净) the wheels and 42 , standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.

It was a 43 to learn, I felt. One doesn’t have to beg for a 44 at any age if one is in good health and willing to work hard. For a while I felt 45 of myself. Though I am young —just sixteen, and there was this old man before me who must have got up very early and been busy working so hard and actively.

【考点】日常生活类—夹斜夹议

【难度】中等。

【文章大意】一个假日的早上,作者偶然的早起,发现了对自己的人生有益的事——一个衣着朴素,骑着一辆不入时的自行车的老者,在自食其力,而且对自己的所做非常自豪。这一刻,作者感觉自己羞愧了,因为他自己还没有认识到过生活的真谛。整个完形填空大题,设空科学合理,考生不难从中领会大意,从而下手会比较顺利,整篇难度与去年几乎持平,比较适中。从选项中可以看出,本大题主要还是考查了词汇的辨析与运用,但更加注重综合语言能力的运用,需要根据故事情节,了解词汇用法的同时,结合语境,做出准确的判断。

26.【答案】B

【考点】动词

【试题解析】这里要注意Mother这个身份,父母是允许自己的孩子不上学的假日里多睡觉的, sleep in睡个懒觉.

27.【答案】C

【考点】副词

【试题解析】前面是谈自己会好好利用一下母亲的许可:睡个懒觉,后面又是在谈自己想早起,中间是明显的转折。

28.【答案】A

【考点】名词

【试题解析】此题可以从下午的提示“several people go by, get into their car and drive off”可以得知:是停车的地方。

29.【答案】D

【考点】形容词

【试题解析】此题是主题设空,从后面的作者体会可以看出是对自己的生活有用的一些东西。区别比较各选择,本题难度不大。

30.【答案】A

【试题解析】前面的动词“watched”是提示,这里表示注意到。

31.【答案】C

【试题解析】这里考察了hang的用法,在表状态时,是不及物动词。指水桶挂在前车把上。

32.【答案】C

【试题解析】从后面的清洗车辆可以看出,是在一辆辆车之间移动。

33.【答案】D

【试题解析】此题要注意前后的提示:“already”和“a dozen or more cars”,所以这里表示老人工作时间早,已经清洗了很多车子了。

34.【答案】A

【试题解析】这里是一个固定的表示方式:cross one's `mind (of thoughts, etc) come into one's mind (指想法等)出现, 掠过:,其他选项明显错误。

35.【答案】C

【试题解析】这里是考察对老人形象的判断,前面谈到he wasn`t well-dressed,从后面的自行车描述可以看出,老人是一个朴素之人。

36.【答案】D

【试题解析】从后面的riding on 可以得知是骑自行的人。

37.【答案】B

【试题解析】but是表示转折,前面提到他的穿着和所骑的车子都不时尚,后面又提到和他自己时而不时的和路人闲聊可以看出他自己是对这一切都是满意的,老人的精神世界很丰富,be satisfied with对……满意。

38.【答案】A

【试题解析】这里要注意连词and所表示的平行关系,后面动词是停下来闲聊,那么前面的动词不能仅表示look,因为他当时是在洗车,不可能洗车而视线在别的地方,这里应该是表示有时候他朝路人招手示意,还会有闲聊。

39.【答案】C

【试题解析】这里考察动词短语与介词的搭配,have a free talk with sb.与某人闲聊。

40.【答案】D

【试题解析】从后面的解释语句:洗完后总要站在一旁看看,可以看出老人对所做之事是自豪的,这样才会去欣赏自己的事。

【难度】中等

41.【答案】A

【试题解析】后面的scrubbing是一个提示,这里和52空的两个并列句都是句式结构相同,这样的考查也是完型填空的一个固定设题。

42.【答案】C

【试题解析】对应上一个分句中的then,这里是表示重复一个相同动作。

【难度】中等

43.【答案】A

【试题解析】这里是作者在发表感叹:这是要学习的一课。

44.【答案】B

【试题解析】beg for a living乞讨为生,这里是指老人虽然清贫,但是自己能自食其力,身体健康而且乐于工作,所以没有必要去乞讨。

Entrants(参加者)were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣诞老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(奖励) the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak.

But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(权威).
