Back in the fifteenth century in Nuremberg lived a family with eighteen children. They were so poor that two children, who wanted to pursue their talent for  26 knew their father would never be   27  able to send  either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
So they tossed (擲) a coin. Albrecht Durer, the younger, 28   the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous  29  and for the next four years, financed his brother, who did so well that his works were even better than those of most of his  30 . By the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn  31  fees by drawing for wealthy people. When the young artist returned home, at dinner he drank a  32 to his beloved brother for the years of  33 that had enabled him to fulfill his  34 .He said, “Albert, my blessed brother, now it is your 35 to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you.”
With tears in his eyes, Albert held his hands close to his right cheek and said, “No, brother, I cannot go. Look... look what four years in the mines have done to my  36  !The bones in every finger have been  37 at least once. Lately I have been suffering from arthritis (關(guān)節(jié)炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a  38  to return your toast, much less make delicate (細(xì)膩的)lines with a pen or a brush. No, brother..., for me it is too  39  .”
Deeply moved, Albrecht painstakingly drew his brother’s  40  hands with palms(手掌) together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his powerful drawing  41 “Hands”, to which the entire world  immediately opened their hearts and later they  42 it “ the Praying Hands”.                                  
The next time when you see a copy of that  43  creation, take a second look. Let it be your  44  , if you still need one, that no one ever makes it  45  !

試題分析:本文講述了為了讓弟弟去學(xué)習(xí),哥哥到煤礦里打工,最后弟弟成名歸來,報(bào)答哥哥的恩情時(shí)卻發(fā)現(xiàn)哥哥的雙手已經(jīng)不能再拿起畫筆了,所以他就把哥哥的手畫了下來。
小題1:B考查語境化選詞。下文,尤其是第6空所在的句子告訴我們,Albrecht畢業(yè)后以畫畫(drawing)謀生可知答案。their talent for art意思是“他們的藝術(shù)天賦”。
小題2:C 副詞辨析。A基礎(chǔ)地B頻繁地C經(jīng)濟(jì)上D靈活地;在經(jīng)濟(jì)上他們的父母無法送他們?nèi)uremberg學(xué)習(xí)。
小題3:A 動(dòng)詞辨析。A贏得B失去C結(jié)束D開始;兄弟贏得了這次擲硬幣,而得到了去Nuremberg的機(jī)會(huì)。
小題4:D 名詞辨析。A山B海洋C沙漠D礦;指哥哥到礦里打工掙錢給弟弟學(xué)習(xí)。
小題5:C考查語境化選詞。這里要表達(dá)的意思是,他的作品甚至比大部分老師的都要出色。classmates(同學(xué))有很大的干擾性,但比大部分同學(xué)出色,無法表達(dá)出好到能為有錢人畫畫賺錢的程度(drawing for wealthy people)。
小題6:B考查形容詞辨析。considerable是“大量”的意思。由下文可知,他要為哥哥提供學(xué)習(xí)的費(fèi)用,由此可以看出,他通過給人畫畫賺了很多錢。considerate“體貼的,考慮周到的”,由于和considerable極其形似,所以極易誤選。
小題7:D考查語境化選詞。Albrecht學(xué)成歸來,向?yàn)閹退麑?shí)現(xiàn)藝術(shù)夢想而犧牲了許多的哥哥敬酒致謝。toast在這里是可數(shù)名詞,意思是“(向某人)敬酒”。
小題8:C考查名詞辨析。由語境可知,哥哥為了弟弟放棄了自己學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì),并去了危險(xiǎn)的煤礦打工賺錢。這都是為弟弟所做的犧牲“sacrifice”。而donation“捐贈(zèng)”;education“教育”;experience“經(jīng)驗(yàn),體驗(yàn)”。均不符合句意。
小題9:B考查名詞辨析。這里指的是第一段所說的藝術(shù)夢想。見7。ambition在這里指遠(yuǎn)大的理想。下一句也有提示:pursue your dream。
小題10:A考查名詞辨析!癐t is one's turn to do sth.”意思是“輪到某人做某事”。句意為:(我的夢想已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)),現(xiàn)在該你去實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢想了。turn指“(依次輪流時(shí)各自的)一次機(jī)會(huì)”。
小題11:D考查語境化選詞。該段第一句有暗示。眼含淚水,他把雙手收放到臉的右側(cè),說:“我不能去了?,四年來,在煤礦里,我的手(hands)怎么了!毕乱痪湟灿刑崾。
小題12:A考查動(dòng)詞辨析。在這四個(gè)詞中,只有injure“傷害”才能使手發(fā)生這樣的變化。句意為:每只手指的骨頭至少受傷過一次。strengthen“加強(qiáng),使有力”有很大的干擾性。
小題13:C 名詞辨析。A刀B勺子C杯子D筆;我甚至都無法拿起杯子來回應(yīng)敬酒。
小題14:D 形容詞辨析。指這一切一切都太晚了,我已經(jīng)沒有機(jī)會(huì)再去學(xué)習(xí)繪畫了。
小題15:A 形容詞辨析。A過度使用B黑色C寬的D易碎的;他就把哥哥過度使用的手畫了下來。
小題16:B考查副詞辨析。由他為自己的畫取的名字來看,是非常簡單的。句意為:他把這幅偉大的作品簡單地(simply)稱為“雙手”,然而,全世界的人都立刻敞開心扉,瞻仰這幅杰作,把這幅愛的作品重新命名為“祈禱之手”。seriously“認(rèn)真地”;carefully“謹(jǐn)慎地;仔細(xì)地”;gently“溫和地”。
小題17:D考查語境化選詞。因?yàn)樽髌芬延辛艘粋(gè)名字,這是再次取名,所以要用rename。
小題18:B考查形容詞辨析。由上文的介紹可以看出,這幅作品是非常感人(touching)的。倒數(shù)第二段的第一句話也有提示。longing“渴望的,極想得到的”;challenging“有挑戰(zhàn)性的”;disturbing“引起煩惱的,令人不安的”。都不符合句意。
小題19:A考查名詞辨析。這里要表達(dá)的意思是:提醒你明白“if you still need one,that no one­no one ever makes it alone!”reminder在這里意思是“提醒物”。句意為:如果你也需要這么一幅畫,就讓它成為你的提醒。aid“幫助”,guide“指導(dǎo)”,coach“教練;家庭教師”。
小題20:C考查語境化選詞。句意為:沒有人——沒有人能單槍匹馬地獲得成功!alone意思是“單獨(dú)地,獨(dú)自地”。由上文的介紹可知,這位藝術(shù)大師的成功,不是自己獨(dú)自奮斗的結(jié)果,是他哥哥作出了巨大的犧牲,才使他學(xué)業(yè)有成的。
點(diǎn)評:本文講述了為了讓弟弟去學(xué)習(xí),哥哥到煤礦里打工,最后弟弟成名歸來,報(bào)答哥哥的恩情時(shí)卻發(fā)現(xiàn)哥哥的雙手已經(jīng)不能再拿起畫筆了,所以他就把哥哥的手畫了下來。本文要求考生具有扎實(shí)的英語詞組、短語、習(xí)慣用法等英語搭配的知識(shí),這對于理解文章的邏輯關(guān)系特別有利。文章的邏輯關(guān)系不外乎列舉、原因、結(jié)果、讓步、對照、補(bǔ)充、目的、條件等關(guān)系。解題時(shí)應(yīng)聯(lián)系上下文尋找相關(guān)線索,如某一個(gè)詞的原詞、指代詞、同義詞、近義詞、上義詞、下義詞和概括詞等。但由于我們在做題時(shí)不可能總是重復(fù)地閱讀文章,因此,在做完形填空時(shí)要培養(yǎng)一種捕捉并記憶相關(guān)信息的能力。

I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a big company, I told him honestly that the principal reason that I was interviewing with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife had recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some pain for my 16-year-old daughter and me. It was important to me to keep her present high school.
Bruce, the interviewer, was politely kind, but he didn’t search any further. He acknowledged(承認(rèn)) my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of interviews, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had 3 children. I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had and it was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a loved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, should I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help.
From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea if we could ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of life’s greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview process into an act of caring and supporting for another person in a time of extreme need.
小題1:According to the passage, the interviewer, Bruce, was very _______.
A.generousB.kindC.happyD.mean
小題2:The underlined word "principal" in the first paragraph probably means _____.
A.mainB.unimportantC.necessaryD.possible
小題3:Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A.The writer’s daughter was studying in Boston at that time.
B.Both the writer and the interviewer experienced the same pain.
C.Bruce was a senior manager of a big firm.
D.Bruce wanted to make friends with him because he gave him his business card and home phone number.

One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when someone hit him hard on the back of his neck. He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before.
“How dare you hit me like that?” shouted Wilson.
The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing.
This insult(侮辱) made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once decided to bring the young man before a judge.
Now , the judge who heard the case was a friend of the young man’s father’s, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking about what he could do to protect the young man from being punished while at the same time not to be appearing unfair.
Finally he said to Wilson, “I understand your feelings in this matter very well. Would you be satisfied if I let you hit the young man as he hit you?”
Wilson said he would not be. The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished.
“Well, then,” said the judge to the young man, “I order you to pay ten coins to Wilson.”
Ten coins was very little for such a crime, but the young man did not have it with him, so the judge allowed him to go and get it.
Wilson waited for him to return with the money. He waited an hour, and then two hours, while the judge took care of other business.
When it was nearly time for the court to close, Wilson chose a moment when the judge was especially busy, came up quietly and hit him hard on the back of the neck.

Streit was an experienced safecracker who never used force —either against people or safes (保險(xiǎn)箱). He was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most difficult safe he had ever encountered. In about 10 years, helped by his brother Stefan and two friends, he took about $330,000 —from the safes of 28 banks in Austria. On his last job, early in 1999, he left the safe door open and $80,000 behind. With the money ws a note, "We don’t need all that much."
     A witness (目擊者) recognized his car and Streit was caught by the police. Then he was sent to Austria’s Stein Prison to serve a six-year sentence. He boasted (吹噓) at his trial that he would continue breaking the law, "I am a thief and I shall use every opportunity." Despite the warn-ing, prison officials moved Streit to the prison’s blacksmith (鐵匠) shop. One day during the week before Christmas, Streit disappeared. Searchers found all his doors were well locked. Streit had managed to make a set of keys and let himself out.
     Not to freedom, though. After crossing into Bavaria, Streit attracted the suspicion (懷疑) of German customs police on purpose and got himself arrested. "I want to be in a German prison,"he explained to the surprised police. "As German courts give much milder (溫和的) sentences for crimes like mine and will reduce the time I would otherwise have served in Stein Prison."
     In prison, Streit persuaded his keepers to let him make a Christmas Eve telephone call to his former keeper, Karl Schreiner of Stein Prison. "I’m sorry if I caused trouble. I didn’t want to embarrass anybody by escaping. Conditions weren’t that bad. In fact the food was better than it is here."

小題3:What helped Streit escape from prison?
A.His living alone in prison.
B.His good relations with the prison officials.
C.His cooperation with other prisoners.

Henry found work in a bookstore after he finished middle school. He wouldn’t do anything but wanted to get rich. Mr. King thought he was too lazy and was going to send him away. Henry was afraid and had to work hard.
It was a cold morning. It was snowing and there was thin ice on the streets. Few people went to buy the books and the young man had nothing to do. He hated to read, so he watched the traffic. Suddenly he saw a bag fall off a truck and it landed by the other side of the street.
“It must be full of expensive things,” Henry said to himself. “I have to get it, or others will take it away. ”
He went out of the shop and ran across the street. A driver saw him and began to whistle (鳴笛), but he didn’t hear it and went on running. The man drove aside, hit a big tree and was hurt in the accident. Two weeks later Henry was taken to court (法庭). A judge asked if he heard the whistle when he was running across the street. He said that something was wrong with his ears and he could hear nothing.
“But you’ve heard me this time.” said the judge.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Now I can hear with one ear.”
“Cover the ear with your hand and listen to me with your deaf (聾的)one. Well, can you hear me? ”
“No, I can’t, Sir.”
