My father brought home a sailboat when I was ten, and almost each Sunday in summers we would go sailing. Dad was quite skilled in sailing, but not good at   36  . As for me, I  37  both before twelve because of living close to Lake Ontario.

The last time Dad and I set sail together is really   38   . It was a perfect weekend after I graduated from university. I came home and  39  Dad to go sailing. Out we set soon on the  40  lake. Dad hadn’t sailed for years, but everything  41  well with the tiller（舵柄）in his hands.

When we were in the middle of the lake, a   42   wind came all of a sudden. The boat was hit  43  . Dad was always at his best in any  44 , but at this moment he  45  .“John!   46 !” he shouted in a trembling voice, with the tiller still in his hands.

In my memory he could fix any   47 . He was the one I always  48  for strength and security. Before I could respond, a   49   of water got into the boat. I rushed to the tiller   50  it was too late. Anther huge wall of water   51  the boat in a minute. We were thrown into the water, and Dad was struggling aimlessly. At that moment, I felt fiercely  52  of him.

I swam to Dad   53  and assisted him in climbing onto the hull（船殼）of the boat. Upon sitting on the hull, Dad was a little awkward about his flash of   54  . “It’s all right, Dad. We are safe now,” I comforted him.

That was the first time Dad had counted on me in a moment of emergency. More importantly, I found it was my turn to start  55  for my father.

【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文，關(guān)于父子情的，著重講述了作者在一次航海中救起落水的父親的故事。

36. C根據(jù)第5段I swam to Dad可以確定是C(swimming)，父親精通航海術(shù)，卻不會(huì)游泳。

37. D根據(jù)下文，作者陪父親一同去航海，而且還救了落水的父親，可知作者在很小的時(shí)候就學(xué)會(huì)了(learned)航海和游泳。

38. B上次作者跟他父親一起去航海，但卻遇到了意外，作者好不容易才救起了落水的父親，當(dāng)然是十分難忘(unforgettable)。

39. C下文敘述了作者跟其父親一起去航海的經(jīng)歷。根據(jù)Dad hadn’t sailed for years,可知作者在大學(xué)畢業(yè)回家后，邀請(qǐng)(invited)父親一同前往，去航海。

40. A根據(jù)下文When we were in the middle of the lake, a  42  wind came all of a sudden.可知，作者他們到了湖心，突然起風(fēng)。自然出發(fā)的時(shí)候應(yīng)該是風(fēng)平浪靜(calm)，也才能夠去航海。

41. B盡管父親多年沒(méi)有航海，但在父親的掌控中，一切都進(jìn)展順利(go well)。

42. A根據(jù)下文，他們的船隨風(fēng)顛簸，到處亂撞(violently)，而且父親還被卷落水中，可知一定是狂風(fēng)大作(strong)。

43. D參考上一題。

44. A想想當(dāng)時(shí)，肯定他們是遇險(xiǎn)了，在作者記憶中，父親應(yīng)該是能處理好一切的險(xiǎn)情(danger)，但這一次，卻害怕了。(也許是老了吧，呵呵。)

45. C根據(jù)he shouted in a trembling voice，可知父親是害怕了，手也不聽(tīng)使喚了，顫抖的聲音在那向作者求救。

46. B父親害怕了，自己不能處理這一切了，當(dāng)然是向作者求救(Help)，希望作者幫他一把。

47. A參考44，父親應(yīng)該是能夠處理好一切的問(wèn)題。

48. A在作者記憶中，父親一直是作者的偶像，是一位隨時(shí)向他尋求力量和保護(hù)的英雄。turn to sb. for sth.向某人求助什么的。

49. D根據(jù)下文Anther huge wall of water，可知在作者還沒(méi)反應(yīng)過(guò)來(lái)，一個(gè)巨浪(wave)拍打過(guò)來(lái)。

50. D作者撲過(guò)去抓舵柄，卻是遲了一步。

51. C緊接著，又是一個(gè)巨浪，將船掀翻(turned over)。根據(jù)下文，兩人都落水了，當(dāng)然是船翻了呀。

52. B父親在水中無(wú)助的掙扎，作者當(dāng)然應(yīng)該去保護(hù)(protective)他，拯救他。這個(gè)時(shí)候，不應(yīng)該為父親不會(huì)游泳而感到羞愧(ashamed)，更不能害怕(afraid)呀，不然，大家都亂了，那不玩完了呀。

53. B此時(shí)父親正在水中掙扎，當(dāng)然是飛快(quickly)的向父親游了過(guò)去，慢了(slowly)，就晚啦。注意當(dāng)時(shí)的作者是大學(xué)畢業(yè)了，也是一大小伙子了，父親遇險(xiǎn)，應(yīng)該緊急施救，不能彷徨無(wú)助(helplessly)，認(rèn)為一切都無(wú)望的(hopelessly)。

54. C剛剛救起的父親，當(dāng)然還心有余悸(fear)，注意作者的安慰“It’s all right, Dad. We are safe now,”強(qiáng)調(diào)一個(gè)safe，讓父親不要害怕啦。

55. D以前是作者指望(counted on)父親，現(xiàn)在作者已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)大成人，當(dāng)然應(yīng)該反過(guò)來(lái)照顧(look out for)父親了。

【評(píng)析】今年的完型在選材上仍然走溫情敘事路線，一篇講述父子情的記敘文，題目設(shè)置以實(shí)詞為主、虛詞為輔。嚴(yán)格遵守首行不設(shè)空的高考命題要求。要在完型拿下高分，考生需保持思維的一貫性及注重前后文聯(lián)系。切記不能像做單選一樣，做一道扔一道�，F(xiàn)在的完型已經(jīng)不考語(yǔ)法，大大增加了上下文推理出題的比例。如此次的開(kāi)篇第36題，要讀到第5段I swam to Dad才能確定是C，swimming。攻克完形填空，考生如果想節(jié)省時(shí)間并保證正確率，那建議讀文章兩遍。僅讀一次不易拿下高分，讀三遍過(guò)于消耗時(shí)間。

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
【小題1】What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?

A．He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.
B．He criticized (批評(píng)) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
C．He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D．He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
【小題2】Why did her father listen to her quietly?
A．Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B．Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show
this by keeping silent for a while.
C．Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D．Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
【小題3】Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A．Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B．The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C．My Father
D．My Childhood

D
My father’s family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could
make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to
be called Pip.
As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first imagination regarding what they were like, were unreasonably from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father’s gave me a strange idea that he was a square, dark man , with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the words, “Also Georgiana Wife of the Above,” I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled（長(zhǎng)雀斑的）and sickly.
Ours was wet country, down by the river, within, as the river wound, twenty miles of the sea. My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things, seems to me to have been gained on an unforgettable cold afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for certain, that this place overgrown with nettles（蕁麻）was the churchyard（墓地）;and that Philip Pirip, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children to the aforesaid, were also dead and buried. Suddenly I began to feel lonely and sad and afraid. I began to cry.
"Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. "Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!"
A fearful man, all in grey, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. A man who had been shivered; and whose teeth chattered in his head as he seized me by the chin.
"Oh! Don't cut my throat, sir," I pleaded in terror. "Pray don't do it, sir."
"Tell us your name!" said the man.  "Quick!"
"Pip, sir."
"Once more," said the man, staring at me.  "Give it mouth!"
"Pip. Pip, sir."
“Show us where you live ,” said the man. “Point out the place!”
I pointed to where our village lay, among the alder-tree, a mile or more from the church. The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned mw upside down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a  piece of bread. When the church came to itself—for he was so sudden and strong that he made to go head over heels before me, and I saw the steeple（尖塔）under my feet—when the church came to itself, I say, I was seated on a high tombstone, trembling, while he ate the bread hungrily.
“You young dog,” said the man, licking his lips, “what fat cheeks you have got.”
I believe they were fat, though I was at that time undersized for my years, and not strong.
“Darn me If I couldn’t eat them,” said the man, with a threatening shake of his head.
I carefully expressed my hope that he wouldn’t, and held tighter to the tombstone on which he had put me; partly, to keep myself upon it; partly, to keep myself from crying.
“Now look here!” said the man. “Where’s your father?”
“There sir!” said I .
He started, made a short run, and stopped and liked over his shoulder.
“There sir!” I explained. “That’s his grave.”
“Oh!” said he, coming back.
“And mother’s there too, sir. And my five little brothers.”
67．Who do you think Alexander is?
A．Pip’s friend.                    B．Pip’s father.
C．One of Pip’s little brothers.     D．The fearful man.
68．It can be learned from the passage that               .
A．Pip’s mother was freckled and ill.
B．Pip imagined what his parents liked through their photographs.
C．Pip’s parents and little brothers were killed by the man.
D．Pip was probably shorter or thinner than most children of his age.
69．What is the fearful man most likely to be?
A．An escaped prisoner.       B．A minister of the church.
C．A tower watcher.           D．Pip’s parents’ enemy.
70．Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A．It was the words on the tombstones that made mw know of my parents’ appearance.
B．The man was so hungry that he wanted to cut his throat and eat his fat cheeks.
C．Pip’s parents were buried together in the churchyard 20 miles from the village.
D．He called himself Pip just because he was too young to pronounce his long name clearly.

A
If I were writing a history of my family, some of the darkest moments recorded would be those surrounding Christmas trees．One would certainly think otherwise; selecting and putting up our trees have always been filled with risk．For example, one afternoon dangerously close to Christmas Eve my mother bought what she thought to be a bargain, a glorious tree that was so full and tall that we could hardly get it onto the house．Once we did, my father immediately realized that we would have to hire a carpenter to build a stand for it．Another December, perhaps the very next one, we bought a tree earlier than we ever had before．We were happy with its shape and delighted that its size was manageable．We easily placed it in a stand, decorated（裝飾）it from top to bottom, and then self-satisfiedly sat back by the fire in its soft light．Two or three days passed and the truth could not be hidden; we had bought a tree cut so long ago that its needles were coming off．There was nothing to do undecorated it, take it down, and begin treeshopping again．Our most recent Christmas tree offered still another difficult task．When we brought it home, once again it seemed larger than it had in the great outdoors．To complicate matters, we had bought a new stand, one whose nuts and bolts worked more mysteriously than those of our old stand．I persuaded two young neighbors to stop playing basketball and to help us get the tree into the house and set it correctly in the stand．Unfortunately, no one noticed the mud on our helpers’ shoes, so only after removing several reddish brown spots from the carpet were we able to discuss the question of where the lights and ornaments（裝飾）were stored．Perhaps those who cut their own trees have tales more painful than these．I don’t care to hear them, as my family’s experiences are enough to cause me to make the following suggestion：“Let’s forget the tree next Christmas．Let’s simply hang some flowers on the front door and over the mirror in the hall．”
41．The darkest moments in the writer’s family were with the fact that________．
A．the family bought big Christmas trees
B．they had problems decorating their Christmas trees
C．they had problems picking suitable Christmas trees
D．they had problems finding carpenters for putting up Christmas trees．
42．We can learn from the passage that the writer would like to________．
A．forget about Christmas
B．get the neighbors to put up their trees
C．buy a better tree
D．make some other decorations to celebrate Christmas rather than the tree
43．When the writer said“mother bought what she thought to be a bargain”, he means________．
A．she bought the tree at a cheap price
B．she didn’t really want to buy it
C．she had to bargain hard with the salesman
D．she couldn’t afford a more expensive one
44．Which of the following can be the best for the passage?
A．How to Select a Christmas Tree     B．No More Christmas Tree for US
C．Dark Moments of Life            D．Christmas without Trees

I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.
One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength masking its way by face strokes (猛力地劃)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys.” Do you know what you have done?” they said, “It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor.”
I was frightened and felt ashamed.
