Two weeks before Christmas, Mother told me we were going to my grandmother's house for the holiday. Grandma and Uncle Henry lived on a farm some 15 miles out of town They had no electricity or running water and _      what I considered the "good things" in life. They     made no plans for Christmas When Christmas Eve arrived, Mom told me in her best "I-mean-it" voice to _       all the decorations from our tree. She packed those up    all the materials for a _    turkey dinner.
Christmas morning       perfectly with the sun shining brightly across a fresh blanket of snow. _   I was angry silently in the backseat of the car as we made our _   to grandma's. This was going to be the  _    Christmas ever! Grandma was  _    to see us as we walked up to her door. "What on earth are you doing here?" she said." We weren't expecting     . It's Christmas, and I don't even have a turkey to cook for you." "I knew     ." Mom said as we set boxes of goodies(好吃的) on the kitchen table. "That's _    we brought all with us." "We _    have a tree" Mom insisted. "       what will we do with all these decorations?" Uncle Henry quickly caught Mom's spirit. He called me to join him, and we found a perfect Christmas tree in the woods. Soon the house _     fresh and piney as we decorated the pine tree, and the day           a festive air . The turkey dinner was very good, too. I was actually beginning to enjoy this unusual Christmas day!
Dessert was almost forgotten _      Mom came out with the final surprise-a flaming (色彩鲜明的)pudding! "Merry Christmas, mother," Mom said. "Dear me!" Grandma said with her mouth wide open. "I haven't seen a flaming pudding since I left England before I was married." Tears of        filled her eyes. I could not keep the tears .       my eyes, either. I knew then that Mom had also given me the best Christmas present ever.
She had taught me what a beautiful thing it is to give.

试题分析:本文讲述了在圣诞节时,妈妈送给了奶奶最好的圣诞礼物,奶奶非常感动。
小题1:考查动词。根据该句前半句的意思可知,奶奶家没有电,没有自来水,没有“我”认为的生活中的好东西。第一个谓语和宾语had no...和本空白处应该填的词意思相同。故选B。
小题2: 考查副词。:用also表示“附加”。still表示“依然还”,在此可表示现在还没计划,可能晚些时候会做,很显然不符合上下文的意思。故选A。
小题3:考查动词。remove“取代,拿下”,此处指把自己家的圣诞树上挂着的饰物取下来。replace“取代,替代”,collect“有选择地搜集”。故选C。
小题4:考查短语。along with“一起,一块儿”。此处指母亲把圣诞树上及做一顿完整的火鸡正餐所需要的全部材料一块包装齐备。故选C。

小题7:考查连词。景色迷人,一切是如此美好,但主人公的心情非常不好。but表示语气上的转折,天气的晴朗反衬出主人公心情的阴郁。故选A。
小题8:考查短语。make one’s way to固定短语,“朝……走去”。其他三个选项均可以和make构成搭配,但不符合语境。故选B。
小题9:考查形容词。“预料这个圣诞节将会是所度过的最糟糕的圣诞节。”句尾的even意为“曾经”,该句相当于This is going to be the worst Christmas we have ever had.故选D。
小题10:考查形容词。从下文的谈话中可以看出奶奶见到他们非常吃惊,她没有料到这个时候,会有人到她家来。故选C。

小题12:考查代词。that代表上文奶奶说的内容。that常用来代替上文所提到的内容,this指下面要说的内容,it可以指代某个具体的事物。故选C。
小题13:考查表语从句。why引导的句子作表语,意为“这就是我们带了一只火鸡的原因”。
故选B。
小题14:考查情态动词。从语境和insist这个词来看,需用must,表示“一定要,必须”。故选D。
小题15:考查副词。全句的意思是:我们必须有一棵圣诞树,不然的话,这些装饰物往哪儿放呢?otherwise“否则,不然的话”,meanwhile“同时”,therefore“所以”,however“但是”。故选D。
小题16:考查动词。屋子里放上刚砍来的圣诞树,装饰物被挂在了树上,很快屋里散发出一股清新的气味。smell作不及物动词有“发出……的气味”之意,become,change都有“变化”的意思,become后可跟形容词,但此处意思不符。故选B。

小题19:考查名词。妈妈做的冒着火苗的布丁让奶奶想起了她的过去,她的家乡,所以奶奶高兴得流出了眼泪。joy“快乐,高兴”。其他选项均不合题意。故选B。
小题20:考查短语。我也禁不住流下泪来。keep the tears from one’s eyes相当于keep the tears back from one’s eyes,“阻止泪水流下来”;keep tears back“抑制住眼泪”,但在此和eyes无法连接。故选D。

In December of l 992.I was a happy husband and father of two young children.A month later,I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia(急性白血病).
After two years of chemo(化疗)that helped control the disease,my body was weak and lifeless.I felt as if I were a puppet who needed help to lift his arms or hold up his head.
I began to run.After six months my strength had come back.On one of my runs,one where I felt I could run forever,I decided I was going to try to run a marathon.
After telling my Dad about my plan,he told me of a program that trains people to run a marathon,while raising funds for Leukemia research at the same time.So that summer,through the Leukemia Society’s Team in Training program,I started to train for the Marine Corps Marathon.During mile after mile of uncertainty,the day finally came to run the marathon.
On October 27,1996,at 8 A.M.,along with l9,000 other brave souls I started on a 26.2-mile journey that I will never forget.
I first saw my wife Patty at the six-mile mark . She seemed happy that I was still looking as if I knew what I was doing,and having a good time doing it.At Mile l7,my mind was going back to those two horrible years that tried to bring my family and me down.I saw her again.The concern in her face told me she knew I was starting to struggle.I felt as if we were thinking the same,nine more miles and these last few years will be behind us.
That thought alone pulled me forward.Mile 22,23,slowing but going,24,25,then there it was.The Iwo Jima War Memorial.I have seen nothing so grand and inspiring in my life.Three hours and forty-one minutes after I started,I crossed what I think has to be the most fitting finish line in all of road racing!
That night the Leukemia Society gave me a pin at a post-race party that simply says,“Leukemia 26.2”.
If God wills,my cancer may once again take away my hair and my strength,maybe even my life.But it can never take away my pin,or the fact that I am a marathoner .
小题1:The writer decided to run a marathon because __________ .
A.he wanted to raise money for Leukemia research

小题3:Why does the writer think the finish line is the most fitting?
A.Because running a marathon is the most suitable sport for him.
B.Because the memorial is the most powerful construction he has seen.
C.Because he considers it a victory over his disease to finish the race.
D.Because 26.2 miles is the most reasonable distance for road racing.

My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via the telephone for a well-known company. One day, I was put through to a man who sounded a bit out of breath. I started with my normal pitch (音高), expecting to hear the normal reply —"I don’t want any."
Instead, he spoke in a faint, weak voice and told me how he wished to take a vacation I was offering, but he couldn’t because he was dying of illness. He explained how he was lacking in oxygen then, and it took almost all his energy to answer the call. He asked if I smoked, which I did, and begged me to stop. He told me smoking was what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them how much I love them. At this point, I couldn’t control myself. We ended the call, but I held on my phone to prevent another call coming in so I could collect myself.
I wrote down his name and address, and sent him a card appreciating his advice and praying for him and his family. Shortly after, I received a letter from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We continued to write back and forth over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was.
About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I started to read, tears came to my eyes. She told me how Frank’s battle with the disease had finally come to an end, and he passed away shortly before the Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters to Frank, and explained how Frank touched many lives over the years. At his funeral, to show just that, they read the 1st letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old he’d never met.
小题1: The author was then probably working for ______.
A.a travel agencyB.a cigarette company
C.an e-shopping storeD.a vacation school
小题2:The underlined part "collect myself" in the second paragraph probably means "_______".
A.gather togetherB.comfort myself
C.relax myselfD.calm down
小题3: What can we infer from the text?
A.Frank was in hospital while answering the phone.
B.Frank is actually the author’s grandfather.
C.There was something wrong with Frank’s lung.
D.The author asked Frank to travel and he took his advice.
小题4: We can learn from the text that the author ________.
A.took down Frank’s name and address to visit him in person
B.was warmly welcomed by her customers when she called them
C.didn’t stop smoking even though Frank asked him to
D.kept in touch with Frank through letters until he died
小题5:At Frank’s funeral the author’s 1st letter to Frank was read in order to ____.
A.encourage people to fight against disease and live bravely
B.indicate that Frank touched many people’s hearts
C.show the good relationship between Frank and the author
D.praise Frank and give thanks to the author

Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. The airline had announced her        and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, “I love you. I wish you enough.” She        said, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.” They kissed and she left.
He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to       . I tried not to interrupt him, but he        me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?”
“Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” “I am        and she lives much too far away. I have        ahead, and the reality is, the next trip back will be for my funeral” he said.
“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?”
He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been        for many generations within my family. My parents        say it to everyone.”
He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it       , and then he smiled and        the following:
  “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
  I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
  I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
  I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much       .
  I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
  I wish you enough        to appreciate all that you possess.
  I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you enough the final ‘Good-byes’.”
  Then he walked away, leaving me lost in thought.

Robert Ballard was born in 1942. From an early age, he loved the sea. Ballard grew up in Southern California. He spent his free time at the beach near his home. He enjoyed fishing and swimming. He even learned to dive.

When Ballard wasn’t at the ocean, he loved reading about it. At age 10, he read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a book which describes the undersea adventures of Captain Nemo. Ballard decided he wanted to be like Captain Nemo when he grew up. His parents helped him follow his dream.
Ballard was a hardworking student. He spent many years learning all he could about the ocean. By the age of 28, he was an expert. In 1970, he took a job as a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts. There he studied underwater mountains of the Atlantic Ocean. He came up with ways to predict(预知)volcanoes under the oceans. Working with other scientists, Ballard also found previously(以前)unknown sea animals. These animals lived far below the ocean’s surface, where scientists had believed no animals could live.
By the 1980s, Ballard’s interests changed. He developed unmanned(无人的)vehicles to explore the ocean bottom. His first find, the well-known ship Titanic, made Ballard famous. He was not happy with just one big find, however. He looked for — and found — other well-known ships. One was the German battleship Bismarck. Another was the U.S.S. Yorktown, an aircraft carrier (航空母舰) that sank during World War II.
Today Robert Ballard is still an underwater explorer. He also heads an organization that encourages students to learn about science. Ballard hopes that some of the students will follow in his footsteps. After all, the world’s huge oceans are mostly unknown. Who knows what remains to be discovered under the sea?
小题1:What was Ballard’s dream when he was young?
A.To be a science teacher.B.To be an underwater explorer.
C.To be an animal expert.D.To be a famous writer.
小题2:When Ballard worked at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, he _____.
A.explored the undersea world by ship
B.thought of ideas to predict underwater volcanoes
C.found some unknown sea animals alone
D.set up an organization to teach students science
小题3:Which is the correct order of the events mentioned in the text about Ballard?
a. He found the German battleship Bismarck.
b. He read a book about Captain Nemo.
c. He found the famous ship Titanic.
d. He became an expert in science.
A.b-c-d-aB.d-b-c-aC.b-d-c-aD.d-c-a-b
小题4:What can we learn from the text?
A.Ballard’s parents felt disappointed at his undersea adventures.
B.Ballard didn’t like fishing and swimming in his childhood.
C.Ballard was greatly influenced by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
D.Human beings have explored more than half of the sea.

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee      your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed      the airport. We were driving in the right lane      suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly      the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started      at us.
My taxi driver just      and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really     . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.
He       that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of     , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage      up, they need a place to dump (倒) it and sometimes they’ll dump it on     . Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be more     . Don’t take their garbage and      it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets, Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with     . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s       in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you       bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories rather easily, and you      them more frequently.
So...Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you       it!
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by       go of the bad. Have a Garbage Free Day!Have a marvelous, garbage-free day!The seeds you plant today      the harvest you reap tomorrow.

The other night as I was leaving my son's room. I noticed a hockey puck(冰球)sitting on his desk. It      me not only of an exciting hockey game he and I had      several years ago. but of a life lesson he had learned      .
During spring vacation from school,a friend gave us two      to a New York Rangers hockey game at Madison Square Garden. My son was very      because he is an avid Rangers fan,so we attended it.
The roar of the crowd was right from the moment the puck was      dropped. When the Rangers      first, the crowd cheered. My son got caught up in the moment and      joined in the crowd. When the Rangers scored a second time, it seemed as if the building would      from the noise. Three young men      in the row in front of us, probably in their early 20s, caught my      as my son sang along with the crowd. They smiled at us. We were all one happy and excited hockey      .
For my son, the victory was exciting. But that is not what he remembers about that night,      that's not his primary recollection. After the winning goal had been scored,the losing team's goalkeeper      the hockey puck out of the net behind him, and      it into the crowd. One of the three young men before us caught the puck and,      in one motion after catching it, threw it back to my son.
My son looked at the puck as if he had been given a golden     . "Why did that man give me the puck?"  I explained to my son that the man had given him the puck be­cause he knew how      it would make him to have a souvenir from the game, and not just any souvenir, but the puck that had been the      goal in a shootout. It was obvi­ous that he knew it would      more to my son than it would to him.

My dear boys,
I am dreadfully busy this year一it makes my hand more shaky than ever when I think of it一and not very rich; in fact awful things have been happening, and some of the presents have got spoilt, and I haven't got the North Polar Bear to help me, and I have had to move house just before Christmas, so you can imagine what a state everything is in, and you will see why I have a new address, and why I can only write one letter between you both.
|K] It all happened like this: one very windy day last November my hood blew off and went and stuck on the top of the North Pole. I told him not to, but the North Polar Bear climbed up to the thin top to get it down一and he did. The pole broke in the middle and fell on the roof of my house, and the North Polar Bear fell through the hole it made into the dining room with my hood over his nose, and all the snow fell off the roof into the house and melted and put out all the fires and ran down into the cellars where I was collecting this year's presents, and the North Polar
Bear's leg got broken.
He is well again now, but I was so cross with him that he says he won't try to help me again一I expect his temper is hurt, and will be mended by next Christmas.
I send you a picture of the accident and of my new house on the cliffs above the North Pole(with beautiful cellars in the cliffs).
That's all. Good Bye!
