Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list __16__ in our past that we felt __17__ of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very __18__ process, but there’ s always some __19__ soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then __20__ that we find ways to __21__ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever __22__ my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my  _23__, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff __24__ of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a __25__ on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a sob.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious __26__. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one __27__ found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name __28__ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still __29__. Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few __30__, I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it?”Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a __31__ discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you __32__ your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it __33___ all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to __34__ all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to __35__ the past wrong doings.

试题分析:作者是参加一个交际培训班,教员要求我们把我们过去感到羞愧后悔或未完成的任何事情,然后去补救。在两年里Jimmy鼓励了我消除在我的表上的所有做错了事情。
小题1:根据下文可知句意为:教员要求我们把我们过去的任何事情(anything)都列成表,这些事情是我们感到羞愧(ashamed)、后悔或未完成的,然后大声读出。若填something只表示一些事情,与句意不符。选B
小题2:ashamed 意为“羞愧的”,根据后面列举的几项,不应该是“害怕的(afraid)”的事情。A。
小题3:private 意为“私人的、保密的、不让人知道的”。上述事情都属于个人隐私,不宜公开。A。
小题4:brave 意为“勇敢的”,尽管是隐私不宜公开,但在自愿者中也有勇敢的人。D。
小题5:suggested 意为“建议”,句子谓语用的动词原形,是虚拟语气,可先排除expected;从说话者语气看,不是“命令”,所以可排除ordered和demanded。B。
小题6:这里教员建议要做以下几件事情:to make apologize to people“向人们道谦”,(to) take some actions right any wrong doings“采取措施纠正错误的所作所为”。 C。
小题7:本来作者是参加一个交际培训班,而现在教员所要学员做的一切似乎与培养交际能力无关,所以作者很纳闷这是否能提高(improve)他的交际能力。选A。
小题8:make a list 意为“列表、造表”。选B。
小题9:none of us kids liked是定语从句,前面省略了关系代词whom / that(代替Sheriff),选none表示Jimmy(由短文最后可知此人是Jimmy)和他的少年伙伴都不喜欢那位郡长(Sheriff),与下文吻合。选C。
小题10:play a trick on sb 意为“捉弄某人”。选C。
小题11:sign 意为“记号、标记、符号”,指Jimmy他们写的字。选B。
小题12:ever用于否定句表示“在任何时候、从来”,由于Jimmy说了谎话,所以“从来就没人查明事实真相(found out)”。与下文“几乎20年后再提及此事”相呼应。选D。
小题13:appear 意为“出现”,指Sheriff Brown的名字被列在表上。选A。
小题14:alive 意为“活着的”,此时Jimmy还不知道Sheriff Brown是否活着,与后面他们接通电话,证实了Sheriff Brown还活着。所以此处不宜用其他形容词。选D。
小题15:ring 意为“铃声”,这里指电话被拨通。选B。
小题16:由we had a good laugh 可知 Sheriff 和 Jimmy 进行的是热烈的(lively)讨论。所以不宜选其他形容词。选D。
小题17:后面的句子说明原因,故选 because 引导原因状语从句:因为你的伙伴都把他们做的错事给忘了。选D。
小题18:around 意为“大约”,此句表示:而 Jimmy 却这些(nearly20年)年来一直把他所做过的错事记在心头。选A。
小题19:clear up 意为“消除、解除”,此句意为:在两年里Jimmy鼓励了我消除在我的表上的所有101项(做错了事情)。选C。
小题20:right 意为“纠正”,此句意为:纠正过去的不道德行为还为时不晚。选C。
点评:完型填空要精读短文析文章: 1多掌握一些固定搭配包括固定短语和习惯语法等。 2词语辨析表面上是语境中词语的语意选择其实是考查词汇的运用能力。 3熟练的语法知识。尽管近年来单纯考查语法知识的题目很少但熟练的语法知识不但可以有助于快速理解文章的句子结构和大意对解题也很有帮助。

12-year-old John Thomas Robertson is a born train fan. "I’ve liked trains probably from the day I was born," he told Good Morning America. "When I was very little," he said, "my grandpa got me a train model. I would just watch it go round for hours and hours."
When Robertson finally had the opportunity to ride on a train, he felt great.

When he found that some of his classmates couldn’t pay the fare, he collected cans (罐子) and bottles and raised more than $1,000 for them.
That trip was such a happy one that he made it a yearly action. "It never gets boring for some reason; it’s just fun," he said. "It really lets people get away from their busy life and have fun.
Every October, Robertson takes a new group of children to ride on the train —but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible (可用的) to disabled people. "He was angry to think that children of his own age couldn’t ride a train," his mother said.
But he wouldn’t say no: he recently sent a letter to the train office for help. To his surprise, the leader, Ty Pennington, accepted the letter in person. He said that he and his workers would work on making a train accessible to disabled people.

Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29,1958 in Gary, Indiana. Being the seventh child in his family, Michael was often physically abused (虐待) by his father, beaten up and also orally abused. But Michael also owed his success to his father’s strict discipline.
Michael was always an entertainer. Even when he just started school, he would perform in front of his friends and classmates. He started his professional music career at the age of 11, as a member of The Jackson Five.
He is well-known for increasing the popularity of MTV through his music videos. Before this, music videos were made just to promote the album. But Michael’s videos managed to change that by making them an art and a big business. Some of the music videos that are good examples of this are Beat It, Billie Jean, and thriller。Through these works the world got caught onto the idea of music videos and focused on music video channels.
Michael enthralled his fans and audience with his style of singing, dressing, and his complex dance moves, especially the moonwalks all around the world to show their love for him.
Through his work and various foundations(基金会), Michael raised and donated millions to charity, which is much more than any showman. He supported 39 charities in all. Apart from that, he had a great love for children, especially the poor ones, and he felt that children were the best thing than God.
Michael planned to start a 50-concert tour in July 2009. Sadly  on June 25th, 2009, Michael passed away at home. Besides a great performer, showman and entertainer, he was a good and charitable person. Nobody can be another graeter entertainer like Michael Jackson ever again.

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘Dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─ to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
小题1:The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A.earlyB.sweetlyC.quicklyD.smoothly
小题2:Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.
A.they are cold to each other
B.they look away from each other
C.they misunderstand each other’s signals
D.they are introduced at an early age
小题3:What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
A.They eat and sleep together.
B.They observe each other’s behaviors.
C.They learn to speak each other’s language.
D.They know something from each other’s voices.
小题4:It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ______.
A.have common interests
B.are less different than was thought
C.have a common body language
D.are less intelligent than was expected
小题5:What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
A.We should learn to live in harmony.
B.We should know more about animals.
C.We should live in peace with animals.
D.We should learn more body languages.

Philip was a nine-year-old boy in a Sunday school class of 8-year-old girls and boys. Sometimes the third graders didn’t welcome Philip into their group and usually tricked him. This was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downs’s Syndrome. This made him “different”, with his facial characteristics, slow responses and mental problems.
One Sunday after Easter, the Sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. The teacher gave one to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs.
After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another was a butterfly…. When the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “That’s stupid,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “It’s mine. I did it. It’s empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was heard in class at all. From that day on, Philip became a real part of the group. They welcomed him, and whatever made him different was never mentioned again.
Philip’s family knew he wouldn’t live a long life, for there were too many things wrong with him.
