1.选C。Helen是因为追赶公交车而不小心滑倒在公交车后车轮底下的,因此选running表示“追赶”。
2.【解析】选B。从后半句“(Helen)从腰部以下全部瘫痪”可知,Helen从车祸中幸存了下来。survive the
accident是常用搭配,表示“从事故中幸存下来”。
3.【解析】选A。in one’s mind意为“在某人的心目中”。
4.【解析】选D。作者认为Helen成为残疾人之后很难再过正常人的生活,因此这里用normally。
5.【解析】选B。从后一句可知,作者从Ohio搬到了Florida。因此选moved。
6.【解析】选B。儿子被汽车撞了,导致了严重的脑损伤。
7.【解析】选B。儿子出了车祸对母亲来说是一件非常难受的事情,因此选particularly“特别”;normally“正常地”,necessarily“必要地”,essentially“重要地”,均不符合语境。
8.【解析】选B。ring off挂断电话。从前句的作者的情绪可知,她应该是挂断了电话。
9.【解析】选C。坐着轮椅不可能是跑进、走进或是移进房间,而应该是滚动轮椅进入房间的。

13.【解析】选B。smooth the path for sb.固定搭配,“为某人铺平道路”。
14.【解析】选D。作为残疾人,Helen能结婚、生子、获得学位,是很幸运的事,因此她这样做就为那些生活比她还要不幸的人铺平了生活道路。
15.【解析】选B。由下文中的I learned that where there is life, there is hope可以推出答案。
16.【解析】选A。在一名身残志坚的朋友面前,作者感觉到自己的渺小,因此用small,而不是weak(软弱的),pitiful(同情的),shameless(无耻的)。
17.【解析】选C。从上文提到的“my oldest son was hit by a car while riding his bike, 18.(causing) a terrible brain injury”可知这里作者指的是儿子在意外中受伤,用hurt,而其他的词性不符合语境。
19.【解析】选D。与前文提到的Helen不会过正常人的生活相对应,作者曾经以为Helen在身体残疾后,她的生活质量不会很好,而不是没有用处或没有意义。
20.【解析】选D。从前面的修饰词miraculously及后面的moved north可知,这里应指的是作者儿子康复,用recovered而不是treated治疗,worsened恶化,relieved减轻。
50选C。此句意为“但是我欠Helen一笔永远偿还不了的债”。

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.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
