试题分析:我的儿子琼尼的双脚先天畸形。医生说他走能行但是跑不好。3岁之前一直在接受治疗。七八岁的时候,走路看起来和正常人一样。他和邻居的小孩子们一起跑玩,我们从没告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑 。因为我们不对他说,所以他不知道。我们从没有对他说他不会成功。是的,从没说起过……所以他不知道,但他却做到了!
小题1:考查名词的用法辨析。句意:我的儿子Joey生下来时,他的双脚严重扭曲。Hands手;mouth嘴;body身体;feet脚。根据后面的walk和run 判断与脚有关。故选D。

小题3:考查名词的运用辨析。句意:Joey3岁之前一直在接受治疗,和支架、石膏模子打交道。treatment治疗;school学校;dark黑暗;silence沉默。前文提到Joey的脚先天畸形,所以要和正常人一样走路跑步一定是经过治疗。故选A。

I pulled into the driveway of my Mum’s house and saw my two-year-old daughter’s smiling face staring out the window at me. Vanessa had stayed with her grandma for a week, while her mommy, Georgia ,was in hospital 36 complications(并发症) in her second pregnancy. Vanessa, who missed her room and toys, 37 awaited the arrival of daddy to pick her up and take her to see her mother. After the visit we’d go home where I had a surprise for her.
Vanessa and I spent an hour with Georgia and then 38 home.

“Where will I sleep, Daddy?”

My friend Jenny from Germany spent some time traveling in India. She   36  the country so much that she always got attracted to it.

It was very difficult for her to   38  in this new environment and culture that had so many subtle (细微的)  39  from her own country.
One day, a   40  thing happened. Along with Leela, she went to visit an orphanage. All the children there were tiny; each one fell   41  between the ages of fifteen days to one-and-a-half years old.
After some initial(最初的)   42 , Jenny slowly went to the kids and sat beside them. After some time, one of the kids smiled at her. She felt   43  a little, and she was immediately   44  towards that child.
She slowly held the child and started singing a rhyme in   45 . The small child continued to smile and started   46  after her. The words that escaped the little mouth were much different from those that Jenny hummed, but the   47  was the same.      
Wanting to join in the   48 , another kid went up to Jenny and started humming the rhyme. They shared a million   49  together.
  50  Leela's eyes on her, she blurted( 脱口而出) an explanation straight from her heart: “See, I don't have                 
  51  problems here. We speak; we communicate!”
And she continued with her rhyme   52  she didn’t want to disturb the child’s smile.
That day, it was   53  for Leela and the others in the orphanage to see such a heartwarming scene. In that moment, she understood: we're all simply human, and we have the ability to   54 with each other; it's   55 , and comes from deep inside.

On Friday morning, I was waiting in the corridor with my class for the physics exam. Glancing back from the front of the queue, I found my best friend Terry, who was treating me like I didn’t exist during the past two weeks,   36  all my calls and messages.
With all the students seated in the exam room, Mr. Reed, our physics teacher, talked to the class and announced the exam. I hated physics and felt it hard to   37  my paper. I was just looking up when a    38  caught my eye. I could hardly believe it! Terry had her phone on her left knee and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good    39  ? I almost put my hand up to tell the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her? However, it wasn’t   40   ! So I nodded to Mr. Reed. He walked   41   down the row of tables. Terry was busy with her phone so that she didn’t even find Mr. Reed had   42   her. She looked up from her phone with a frightened expression. Before she had a chance to explain, Mr. Reed took her   43   and told her to leave the room. Terry started crying as she walked to the door, looking back over her shoulder at me, sad and ashamed.
After the exam, I received a text message from Terry, saying “I’m really   44  that I’ve been avoiding you lately but it’s been the hardest two weeks of my life. My dad has a heart attack and he’s been in hospital. He has a(n)    45   today and I am really worried. I know it is stupid, but I was trying to send a text message to my mum to see how it was going. Then Mr. Reed caught me and thought I was   46   . I wish I’d told you what’s been happening. I know I shouldn’t   47  who my friends are. Will you forgive me?” At these words, from my deep heart sprang up a burst of guilt along with the belief: Friendship is an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure.

Recently I fully understood that a little favor could really make a big difference. My daughter and I were, accidentally, in time to catch a falling heart just before it hit the ground.
It all started when Charlene, one of my co-volunteers at the library, asked if I could do her duty on Tuesday since her doctor appointment had been unexpectedly changed. I agreed, which meant I  was home on Friday instead of volunteering as previously planned.
My daughter, Mary, managers a book store in town. Mid-morning, she called to ask me for help. Would I buy a fifty dollar gift card, birthday card, and cake for one of Mary’s assistant managers, Cindy?
Mary explained she had to call Cindy in to take the place of another assistant manager who was sick, but felt terrible about it when she discovered it was Cindy’s birthday. Cindy insisted that it was just fine. But that was not what Mary thought, so she gathered enough money from other employees to throw a surprise party for Cindy. Since neither Mary, nor any of the other employees, could leave to pick up the goodies, they were turning to me for help. Days later, Mary told me the wonderful rest of the story, “Cindy cried and cried when we surprised her. After the party, Cindy told us that her boyfriend had chosen that morning to break up with her. To top that off, she only had 26 cents left in her bank account.”
We were surprised at the series of unexpected events that took place in order to circle Cindy with love and catch her falling heart just before it hit the ground.

I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭)was  36 to me.

We were in love nevertheless-that 40 teenage love.I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会).It was understood that we had  41 about where we would dance and drink and party together.
This meant one thing to my parents-panic.And it grew as the  42 letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to,nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University-the Ivy League college   43 in historic Providence,Rhode Island.
There was no  44 that I was drawn to Brown,but Billy (who had joined the army)was  45 down south and I had offers   46 for me there,too. I was torn between my love for him and my family  47

In August,I  52 and drove north to Providence.It took several months to  53 that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy's,Brown changed my life,opening doors and giving me the  54 I now use to think,to learn and to write. Life is always about  55 it seems,and the older I get,the more I understand this. Still,there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.

A mother isdevastated, crying, yelling all she can in that dark corner. There was nobody tohear her yell and not a soul to calm her, because outside her house is a long winding lonely road.The wind was at rest and the leaves didn't rustle, silence filling the air. Loneliness was alreadykilling her, but no one knows what made her cry?
Losing something you love with all your heart isn't really the pain you can ever overcome.Radha lost her baby, her only means to live. She saw her child getting killed and the accidentwas terrible. One lonely night, she was walking down the street to get a breath of fresh air withher child hugged tight in her arms.
The whole time she walked with her child in her arms, the only thing that worried her wasAryan's future. She was imagining and feeling every day of the child's growthand figuringwhat she would have in store for him. But who knows what's in store for us tomorrow, life canchange in a second.
On that deserted road, were a few streetlights barely enough? It was this one light that couldbe seen from a distance,but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter. That light changedRadha's life into darkness forever. A speeding car came down that road. The driver came with a full speed throwing beer bottles out of his half open window. He was definitely drunk,and the speed took, everything in its path. Just then, there was a loud cry, and silence set in again.
But the mother wasn't hurt. She opened her eyes, unable to focus her eyes, and didn't seeAryan. After a few minutes when her sight cleared up she looked all over in a panic for her baby,but alas! ... The child hadn't even seen life.
