I believe in miracles because I’ve seen so many of them.One day,a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old.“There’s a 36 in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it’s nothing,but he 37 I come to see you.”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would 38 to add something,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything hereslf.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the 39 of her mouth.A careful examination later 40 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment,I explained to her the 41 of the problem.She clasped my hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just 42 .”
I thought otherwise.After considerable 43 on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to 44 me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected, 45 treatment.
About six months later she retarned to my office,still energetic and 46 .
“How are you?”I asked.
“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded 47 high spirits.“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all,I answered 48 ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had 49 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness 50 .
I had read of such things happening,but had 51 seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I’ve seen many others,because they keep getting 52 to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are a miracle, 53 through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to 54 the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle,I’ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it.

【解析】
1.A考查名词。下文告诉我们，老太太患的是癌症，而不是受了伤，由此可见，这位老太太是因为上颚痛才来看病的，所以选pain。
2.C考查动词。句意为：“我”告诉“我”的牙医这没什么，但是他却坚持让我来看看。由第二段中的“I found a large cancer that spread over much of the ____ of her mouth.”可以看出，她的病情很严重，所以应该是她的私人医生坚持要她来，因此要选择insist“坚决主张”，后面从句要用虚拟语气。declare宣布；suspect怀疑；promise承诺。
3.D考查动词。陪同老太太来的是她80岁的儿子，他试图补充点什么，但被老太太给阻止了。这里attempt to do sth.相当于try to do sth.意思是“试图做某事(但没有成功)”。而manage to do sth.意思是“成功做成某事”； continue to do sth.意思是“继续做某事”，显然都不符合语境。
4.B考查名词。上文提到，老太太感觉上颚(upper jaw)有点痛，所以应该选择roof,49空所在的句子也有暗示。roof在此处的意思是“牙床，上颚”。corner角落；区域；bottom底部；surface表面。
5.C考查动词。confirm确认。句意为：后来的检查确认这是一种严重的癌症。convince(使)信服，说服；consider考虑；conclude推断，得出结论。
6.B考查名词。由40空后的“a particularly bad sort of cancer”可以看出，在下次来看病时，我向她解释了病情的严重性(seriousness)。possibility可能性；importance重要性；resolution决心，解决。
7.D考查形容词。由语境可知，老太太一直以为自己身体很健康，所以要选fine，意思是“(身体)好的”。下文的“I’m just fine，honey，”也是暗示。
8.B考查名词。作为医生，“我”一直在劝说老太太去找一位治疗癌症的外科医生。老太太最终答应是因为两方面的原因，一方面是我的努力(effort)，另一方面是老太太的善良，因为她想让我高兴，她才答应去的。permission允许；support支持；approval同意，赞同。
9.C考查动词。please意思是“使……高兴；取悦某人”。解析见上题。persuade说服；encourage鼓励；astonish(使)震惊。
10.C考查动词。因为老太太去看外科医生也是出于照顾“我”的面子，所以拒绝治疗也在“我”的预料之中。根据前面对老太太的描述(kindness)可知，“婉言拒绝”符合语境，因此选declined。provide提供；receive收到；require需要。
11.C考查形容词。解答此题的关键是空前的still，前文告诉我们，老太太一直很乐观，认为自己的病没什么大碍，并拒绝了大夫的治疗，所以应该选optimistic，意思是“乐观的”。。
12.B考查介词。in high spirits为固定用法，意思是“兴高采烈”。
13.C考查副词。一个病入膏肓的病人在六个月后竟然精力充沛、神采依然，“我”很吃惊，也很困惑，所以选择confusedly，意思是“困惑地”。worriedly担心地；patiently有耐心地；confidently有信心地。
14.B考查动词。cover覆盖。句意为：几乎覆盖整个牙床的癌症已经消失了，只留下一小片红。
15.D考查动词。这里指的是癌症症状消失后留下的东西，所以选择remained，语意见上题。
16.C考查副词。由上文“Surprised to see her at all”，“I couldn’t believe my eyes.”以及“That was my first miracle.” 可以看出，这里的意思是：我读过类似的故事，但这之前从没有亲眼看到这样的事情发生。所以选never。
17.A考查形容词。从那以后我看到了很多其他类似的奇迹。这说明奇迹在变得越来越容易让人看到，由此可以看出，easier符合语境。rare稀少的；happy幸福的；close接近的。
18.A考查连词辨析。第二个分句是前一个分句的原因。句意为：并且人们都是奇迹，因为通过他们我们有机会了解我们自己，看见一个又一个的奇迹。for用来引出原因。
19.C考查语境化选词。这一部分重点讲的是看见身边的奇迹，所以要选see。该段的前两句都有暗示。
20.B考查语境化选词。对应前面的place，选择wherever，句意为：从第一次奇迹之后，我逐渐明白：奇迹发生的时间和地点就在我们选择发现它的地方。

阅读下面的短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Middle and high school days are both fun and busy. Students spend their days in class, listening to the interesting and sometimes boring words of the teacher. They spend the short breaks running, playing, and shouting happily before going back to the classroom again. But how should students spend their free time outside school?
In Western countries, it is common for students to have a part-time job after school and at weekends. Students can earn their own money and learn more about the “real world”. They enjoy the extra independence and money, and parents enjoy the quiet house. However, it seems that, in China, parents worry so much about their children’ studies that they would prefer to see their children spending most of their free time studying and preparing for all those exams.
It is natural for parents to feel that way, but I believe the answer lies in balance. Sometimes, Western school children work long hours after school to make money, and so they become too tired to listen in class or have no time for homework. But Chinese students spend so much time on their studies that all else becomes less important until they want that new MP4 player.
So, find a good and healthy balance! If you have a part-time job, you’ll be happy, and your parents will also be happy because you’re spending your hard-earned money and not theirs!

阅读下面的短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
“Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. The bundle(婴儿包)was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped-the baby has been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance.
One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother’s arms, he cried out bitterly, “A boy, a big boy… called me a f-…freak.” She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks.
He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift for literature and music.
The boy’s father had a talk with the family doctor. Could nothing be done? “I believe we could graft(移植)on a pair of outer ears, if they could be donated,” the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice a young man. Two years went by. Then, “You’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’s a secret,” said the father.
The operation was a brilliant success. His talents blossomed (开花)into genius. School and college became a series of successes. Later he married and entered the diplomatic（外交）service. “But I must know!” he urged his father. “Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him.”
“I do not believer you could,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know….not yet.” The years kept the secret, but the day did come…. one of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材).Slowly and tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to let out the secret.

科目：高中英语 来源：2010年黑龙江省高二上学期期中考试英语卷 题型：阅读理解
The other day at the supermarket, I saw a naughty child of about six crying loudly, falling to the floor and refusing to move. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed. A little smack (掴打) on his bottom would have done the job, I thought.
Teenagers also cause discipline problems. As a teacher I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant. In fact, she had left home to stay with him. So we decided to put her in the school hostel. She refused. When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel she turned round and said: “Why don’t you stay in the hostel if you like it so much?”
My palms were itching to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her, hoping that gentle persuasion would work wonders. It did not. The last I heard, she had run away from home again.
The list goes on and on. Could it be that today’s parents are softer and believe that they must not rod (棍棒惩罚) their children for fear of the bad result? Or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older? I beg to disagree. I believe it is the parents’ duty to discipline the children even at a young age.
My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary. Later when they went abroad, they related to their British university friends on how they were disciplined. Their friends abroad were filled with horror and told my daughter that I could be charged for child abuse (虐待). However, my daughter paid me the greatest compliment when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline.
1. According to the passage, the author would probably _______.
A. beat the children every day B. punish the children when necessary
C. 1eave the children as they are D. treat the children in a softer way
2.The underlined word “to cajole” (in Paragraph 3) probably means _______.
A. to persuade B. to scold C. to forgive D. to punish
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The naughty boy’s mother hit him on the bottom at last.
B. The teenager’s mother lived together with her daughter in the school then.
C. The author was charged for child abuse by her daughter’s friends abroad.
D. The author’s daughter was very thankful for her parent’s strict discipline.
4. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Respect Parents B. Spoil Kids C. Value Discipline D. Protect Kids
