【答案】

1.選C。Helen是因為追趕公交車而不小心滑倒在公交車后車輪底下的,因此選running表示“追趕”。

2.【解析】選B。從后半句“(Helen)從腰部以下全部癱瘓”可知,Helen從車禍中幸存了下來。survive the

accident是常用搭配,表示“從事故中幸存下來”。

3.【解析】選A。in one’s mind意為“在某人的心目中”。

4.【解析】選D。作者認為Helen成為殘疾人之后很難再過正常人的生活,因此這里用normally。

5.【解析】選B。從后一句可知,作者從Ohio搬到了Florida。因此選moved。

6.【解析】選B。兒子被汽車撞了,導(dǎo)致了嚴重的腦損傷。

7.【解析】選B。兒子出了車禍對母親來說是一件非常難受的事情,因此選particularly“特別”;normally“正常地”,necessarily“必要地”,essentially“重要地”,均不符合語境。

8.【解析】選B。ring off掛斷電話。從前句的作者的情緒可知,她應(yīng)該是掛斷了電話。

9.【解析】選C。坐著輪椅不可能是跑進、走進或是移進房間,而應(yīng)該是滾動輪椅進入房間的。

10.選A。由后面的“She smiled, handed me the tissues and hugged me.”可知Helen來的時候帶著紙巾。

11.【解析】選C。雖然16年沒見,但作者還是認出了Helen,用recognized。

12.【解析】選A!爱斘覀儚捏@訝中緩過神來以后,Helen開始向我講述我們最后一次見面之后她的生活——結(jié)婚、生子、獲得學(xué)位”。B、C、D三項都不全面。

13.【解析】選B。smooth the path for sb.固定搭配,“為某人鋪平道路”。

14.【解析】選D。作為殘疾人,Helen能結(jié)婚、生子、獲得學(xué)位,是很幸運的事,因此她這樣做就為那些生活比她還要不幸的人鋪平了生活道路。

15.【解析】選B。由下文中的I learned that where there is life, there is hope可以推出答案。

16.【解析】選A。在一名身殘志堅的朋友面前,作者感覺到自己的渺小,因此用small,而不是weak(軟弱的),pitiful(同情的),shameless(無恥的)。

17.【解析】選C。從上文提到的“my oldest son was hit by a car while riding his bike,   18.(causing) a terrible brain injury”可知這里作者指的是兒子在意外中受傷,用hurt,而其他的詞性不符合語境。

19.【解析】選D。與前文提到的Helen不會過正常人的生活相對應(yīng),作者曾經(jīng)以為Helen在身體殘疾后,她的生活質(zhì)量不會很好,而不是沒有用處或沒有意義。

20.【解析】選D。從前面的修飾詞miraculously及后面的moved north可知,這里應(yīng)指的是作者兒子康復(fù),用recovered而不是treated治療,worsened惡化,relieved減輕。

50選C。此句意為“但是我欠Helen一筆永遠償還不了的債”。

Mrs. Claus would award(獎勵) the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鯨魚)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(無知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(權(quán)威).
