As I got up today, I smelt fresh coffee. I woke up to 36 a cup of it with some biscuits on my bedside table. This reminded me of 37 , the old school and college days, when mom used to wake me up by serving a 38 cup of coffee. The taste is still so 39 in my memories.
A 40 thought hit me, “I was in bed, so who prepared this coffee for me? Is it a dream?”
I pinched（掐）myself, ouch… that hurt, which meant I was not 41 . I walked out of the room with the cup of coffee, 42 my roommate. I asked him whether he prepared that for me, and the answer was YES.
I was relaxed 43 somehow my heart wanted him to say NO, because I wanted to be in a 44 that my mom prepared it for me. The whole 45 reminded me of mom and I 46 her at that moment.
On my way to my office, I was thinking about those days when mom used to cook my 47 meal. I could not 48 any single day when I slept without food. But now, I no longer 49 the food mom cooked.
This very thought 50 tears to my eyes and I decided to call up mom. I reached the office and gave her a call.
The first thing she asked was, “Is everything all right?” I was 51 . And I thought, “How the time has 52 ”.
When I was with her, I used to call her after every hour when I was out with my friends. In those days she 53 asked me what was wrong, as she knew that it was my habit. My call at this point of the day to her meant that I was in 54 .
Time has changed, she is still the same, and it is 55 who have changed.

名校练考卷期末冲刺卷系列答案科目：高中英语 来源： 题型：阅读理解
Some years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (美洲鳄) was swimming toward the shore.
His father working in the yard saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, he ran toward the water, yelling to his son as loudly as he could.
Hearing his voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U – turn to swim to his father. It was too late. Just as he reached his father, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the father grabbed his little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug – of – war (拔河) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the father was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his father’s fingernails dug into his fresh in his effort to hang on to the son he loved.
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my dad wouldn’t let go.”
You and I can identify with that boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friend, are because someone has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, someone has been there holding on to you.
If you have the scars of someone’s love on your arms, be very, very grateful. Someone in your life did not and will not ever let you go.
Never judge another person’s scars, because you don’t know how they got them.
Which of the following is the most closely related to the underlined word “passionate”?
A. determined B. anxious C. frightened D. courageous
When the boy told the newspaper reporter about the scars on his arms, he felt .
A. painful and fearful B. regretful and panic
C. proud and grateful D. excited and thankful
In the story the writer intends to tell us that .
A. scars always remind people of their past experiences
B. wounds in the mind are more painful than those in the body
C. a painful past always leaves scars on a person’s mind
D. scars do not necessarily mean pain at all times
Which of the following viewpoints will the writer most probably agree with?
A. Be grateful to a painful past, for you can always learn something from it.
B. Other people’s criticism or blame may hurt you, but if it is for your own good, you should take it thankfully.

He's an old cobbler （修鞋匠） with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris．When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: "I haven't time．Take them to the other fellow on the main street; he'll fix them for you right away．"
But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). "No," I replied, "The other fellow can't do it well."
"The other fellow" was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys "while-U-wait" -- without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) ,you might as well just throw away the pair.
My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron (围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, "Come back in a week."
I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boot off a shelf.
"See what I can do " he said with pride. "Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work."
When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, an old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his pride in his craft.
These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it "pays", when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period,it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.
Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?
A．He was equipped with the best repairing tools.
B．He was the only cobbler in the Marais.
C．He was proud of his skills.
D．He was a native Parisian.
The sentence "He was something out of an ancient legend." ( paragraph 7 ) implies that .
A．nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him
B． it was difficult to communicate with this man
C．the man was very strange
D．the man was too old
According to the author, many people work just to .
A．realize their abilities B．gain happiness

My most vivid memory Is being woken and brought down to sit o my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.

Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.
In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean rind a wait for rescue? Lest（以免）we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.
