Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp(流浪汉)has passed. This special sign-language is frequently   50   by tramps to inform their    51   whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to   52   them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.
Quite   53   one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.
But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a   54   in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger,    55   a funny turn, laid a small parcel    56   the front gate, and began   57   a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been   58  , for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate   59   and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat   60   couldn’t hear his words. The   61   was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.
I felt   62   for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake.   63   deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried   64  , whistling as he went along.

解析试题分析:流浪汉们常将他们所使用的特殊符号画在住户的墙上,告知同行这家主人是否友好,可否去拜访.本文讲述一个流浪汉根据符号的指引去一户人家乞讨,结果却吃了闭门羹.后来他发现是符号错了。
【小题1】考查动词及上下文的呼应。employ使用;雇佣; make制造; take拿走; put up举起,张贴。这种特殊的符号常被流浪汉用来告知同行是否可以进入该户人家乞讨。put up张贴,据下文,符号是画在墙上,故不可选。故选A。
【小题2】考查名词及上下文的呼应。coaches教练; classmates 同学; fellows同行; friends朋友。据上下文是指告知同行。同行不一定都是朋友,故排除D项,所以选C。
【小题3】考查动词及上下文的呼应。share分享; save节省; give给 ;urge催促。据上文知,有了这种符号,流浪汉们就可省下做一些不必要的拜访的麻烦,故选B。
【小题4】考查介词短语及上下文的呼应。从后半句came across得知为巧遇by chance。故选D
【小题5】考查名词及上下文的呼应。success成功的人; care 关心; failure失败的人; responsibility责任。那个人看起来非常高兴好像不是一个失败的人,故选C。
【小题6】考查动词及上下文的呼应。give 给; launch开始,发射; set树立; make a turn转一圈。他滑稽地转了一个圈”。故选D。
【小题7】考查介词及上下文的呼应。by 在附近; behind在……后面。流浪汉把包放在前门的旁边,故选A。
【小题8】考查动词及上下文的呼应。draw画; kiss轻拂;  correct改正; study研究。据上下文知这里是“研究”,“仔细看”那个符号,想弄清它代表的意思。故选D。
【小题9】考查形容词及上下文的呼应。sad伤心的; strange奇怪的; funny 滑稽的; exciting令人兴奋的。根据下文for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction.指符号有帮助的,提供了好消息。故选D。
【小题10】考查副词及上下文的呼应。confidently自信地; innocently天真地; consequently 因此; consciously自觉地。他自信地走到前门摁响了门铃。故选A。
【小题11】考查连词及上下文的呼应。and表示前后是顺承关系; but表示前后是转折关系; however表示前后是转折关系; therefore表示前后是因果关系。我看见他举起帽子但是听不清他说的话。故选B。
【小题12】考查名词及上下文的呼应。conversation谈话; introduction 介绍; argument论证; greeting问候。流浪汉与主人之间的谈话。故选A。
【小题13】考查形容词及上下文的呼应。Happy高兴的; frightened害怕的; capable 能干的; sorry难过的。看到他悲伤地走出来,我为他感到难过。故选D。
【小题14】考查动词及上下文的呼应。dig挖,插; steal偷; put放; look看。把手插到口袋里去找东西。故选A。
【小题15】考查名词及上下文的呼应。step 脚步; position 职位; pace 步法,步速; situation形式。pace这里指步伐节奏.流浪汉迈着不紧不慢的步伐,吹着口哨继续往下家去乞讨。故选C。
考点:这是故事类的文章。
点评:一般情况下完形填空题语篇的第一句话和最后一句话都是完整的。针对这个特点,考生应该重点阅读这一头一尾的两个句子。快速阅读全文,掌握全文的大意和主题。? 
 在阅读全文时千万不要急于看文章后每个题目的选项,应该对空格所在的上下文仔细阅读,预测可能出现的答案。对于难以确定答案的题,要根据上下文语境,运用语法和词汇知识,反复推敲以求得解答。对于同义词和近义词的选项,在充分考虑到上下文具体语境下特别注意这些同义词和近义词搭配。完成全部问题后应该将答案带入文章再通读全文,核查答案是否合适、正确、尽量少出错误。

As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.

Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads. It had a “Slow” sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.

At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at the crossing.” “But the sign there doesn’t say “Stop”,” answered Mr. Williams. “It just says “Slow”, and I did go slow.” The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’ll be blowed. I am in the wrong street!”

Which of the following statements is correct? ?

A. Stop signs can be found at every crossroads.

B. At crossroads with a “Slow” sign, drivers never have to stop.

C. At crossroads with a “Slow” sign, drivers have to stop and then go slow.

D. At some crossroads, drivers needn’t stop or go slow.

What do you think the policeman would do in the end?

A. Fine Mr. Williams.                    B. Take him to the police station.

C. Apologize to Mr. Williams.           D. Give Mr. Williams his notebook and pencil.

Which might be the best title for this passage?

A. Signs at the crossroads                 B. A careful driver

C. A policeman and a driver               D. Policeman in the wrong street[来源:Z&xx&k.Com

You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate(交际)with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears(眼泪)in your eyes tell others that you are sad.

Dear manager,
I am a student of senior three. Last Sunday I went to shopping in your supermarket. Your service was very good, and I felt worried because there are some problem there. First, the windows of the walls are tightly closed so the fresh air cannot move in, that can easily lead to all kinds illnesses. Second, there is large quantities of goods on the third floor, but they are in a mess. It is not easy to find which I want to buy. In addition, the EXIT signs can’t be see easily, so if something terribly happened, it would be difficult for people to get in quickly. I hope you can make some improvements.

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.

For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if the weather is fine, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.

Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.

1.Which is true about weather forecasting?

A.Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.

B.Weather forecasting is a report about the weather.

C.Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.

D.People can change the weather forecasting.

2.Which of the following can be used here to replace the underlined phrase “on the way”?

A.continuing         B.reducing.          C.coming.           D.disappearing.

3.Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?

A.Some birds fly high.

B.A rainbow appears in the morning.

C.The sunset is mostly red in colour.

D.Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.

4.The best title of the passage is _______.
