    试题分析：本文讲述的一个很有诚信的擦皮鞋的小男孩，在被躲雨的人冲散以后仍然等到半夜归还我的皮鞋，而且把皮鞋保护得很好。
    小题1:C短语辨析。A穿上（表示动作）B穿着（宾语是人）C穿着（表示状态）D穿坏了。句意：我穿着一双刚买的皮靴。表示我进入咖啡店的时候的状态。故A正确。
    小题2:A 上下文串联。根据下文He looked about eleven or twelve.可知他是一个擦皮鞋的小男孩。
    小题3:D 语法分析。动词look与句子主语he之间构成主动关系，故使用现在分词looking做状语。
    小题4:A 语法分析。No sooner…than…一…就…；其中的no是否定句放在句首要使用部分倒装的形式。而且根据句意我一开始说话他就给我擦皮鞋，前面使用过去完成时的时态。
    小题5:B 语法分析。Take off脱掉。本句的三个动作是并列的，都应该使用一般过去时的时态。
    小题6:B 固定搭配。Pour down倾倒。指大雨倾盆而下。
    小题7:C 上下文串联。根据上文heavy rain可知下雨了，人们都到咖啡店里躲雨了。
    小题8:A 动词辨析。A分开B联系C参加D分开（分成几部分）；这里是指人很多，把我们分开了。
    小题9:C 考察语法。在英语中只有it可以指代天气，时间等。这里的It就是指天，天黑了。
    小题10:B 上下文串联。我和他被人群分开了，我想知道他会在那里。
    小题11:D 动词辨析。A擦亮B清洁C转身D归还；我以为他不会再归还我的鞋子了。
    小题12:C 上下文串联。我的鞋子在他那里，我只能赤脚走回家了，故C正确。
    小题13:C 动词辨析。A/B开始C结束D来；到了半夜的时候，大雨停止了，咖啡店也要关门了。
    小题14:B 语法分析。本句的be to do sth表示的将来时，而且表示的是被动语态的形式。
    小题15:A 介词辨析。Lean against依靠着….他的头靠着盒子他睡着了。
    小题16:B 动词辨析。A覆盖B摇晃C/D抓住;我轻轻地摇他，把他唤醒。
    小题17:C 词义辨析。A感谢B理解C认出D经过；因为他睡着了，在认出我之前他在揉眼睛。
    小题18:D 名词辨析。A钱包B手臂C鞋子D包裹；根据下文可知他用衬衫把我的鞋子包着。
    小题19:C 考察时态。他用衬衫包裹我的皮鞋这件事情发生在这之前，故使用过去完成时。
    小题20:C 固定搭配。On one’s way home在回家的路上。其中的home是副词，要单独使用。
    点评：本文讲述的一个很有诚信的擦皮鞋的小男孩，在被躲雨的人冲散以后仍然等到半夜归还我的皮鞋，而且把皮鞋保护得很好。做完型填空的时候：关注文章首句，领会大意。通过理解文章的首句，我们可以明确短文话题，了解篇章结构，预测全文内容。通过理解段落的首句，也可明确每段的大意，根据前后语境，上下联系。有时只需从空格所在句子的上文或下文考虑；有时需要从空格所在句子的前后2-3句考虑；还有的可能要从整个段落或整篇文章给予考虑，才可选出正确选项。上下文提供的信息对应关系以及词语的重复使用，对解答完形填空也非常有用。对于文中生词的处理，有的可以通过句法分析判断词性，根据上下文猜测其大意；对不影响文章理解和解题的生词可以跳过不管。根据词语辨析，挑选答案。理解句子含义，判断句义关系，从词汇的意义、用法和搭配考虑，把握整体意思，寻找答题线索。

    It was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch bank on the West Side. I had come to   1  a checking account. The only officer on   2  was a fortyish black man, standing   3  a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I thought I was especially   4  of the boy because he looked more like from a prep school than a   5  in a West Side bank.
    The boy continued to   6  my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and   7  an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I   8  any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking.
    “I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not   9  to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.
    Suddenly I noticed the   10  had a series of small deposits (存款) and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you   11  that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked   12 . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very   13 .” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting   14 ,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come here and protest.” The boy looked destroyed.   15 , he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.
    The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got   16 .” I couldn’t believe what he was saying. “We were   17  this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲诈) this boy for more than a month. The guy was   18  him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was   19  too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n)   20  today.”
    “You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?”
    “Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”

    Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲豹)saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.
    Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
    “Tom, no!” shouted his father.
    But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.
    Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws(爪子)got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled（吼叫）and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
    “Knife, Tom” shouted Jeb.
    The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb stated shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
    The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.
    小题1:Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?
    A．To get ready to fightB．To frighten it away
    C．To protect the boyD．To cool down
    小题2:What do we know about cougars?
    A．They are afraid of noises
    B．They hesitate before they hit
    C．They are bigger than we think
    D．They like to attack running people
    小题3:How did Jeb try to hold the cougar’s attention?
    A．By keeping shouting and hitting
    B．By making a wall out of his arms
    C．By throwing himself on the cougar

My brother leaned over and shouted something in my ear, but I couldn’t 45  what he was saying. The first song was already starting and the music was as 46  as a jet engine. I could 47  the drum beats and bass notes in my stomach.
    I can’t recall any of the songs that the band played. I just 48  that I really enjoyed the show and didn’t want it to 49 . But in the end, after three encores (加演), the show finished.

    After the 53  , I became a Black Wednesday fan too for a few years before getting into other kinds of music. Once in a while, 54 , I listen to one of their songs and 55  I’m back at that first show.

    When I was seven years old my mom was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer. For this type of cancer the survival rate was low. My family was extremely upset and shocked. I was too young to understand. I had no idea that everyday with my mom had to be the absolute best because we didn’t know if it would be our last. I didn’t understand why everyone was suddenly taking time out of their busy lives to come over and sit on our couch.
    The doctors told us my mom might survive with surgery(外科手术). But it could also kill her. She agreed to have it. The surgery was scheduled for the day after the Columbus Day. The day before the surgery I had off from school, and my mom planned the best day of my life. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was happy. Really happy.
    The day passed and the next day, it was time for the surgery. There were no tears; I think I understood that I could lose my mom, because they did tell me she could die. We waited all day for news from the doctor. Everyone jumped when a door opened or anyone walked into the waiting room. Finally the doctor came in, and the news was what we had prayed (祈祷) for.
    The experience that my family went through was truly a roller coaster. I will never forget that day together, and how her illness pulled our family closer. I understand now how lucky we were. I truly appreciate life and honor my mom for being so strong.
