I believe in miracles because I’ve seen so many of them.One day,a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old.“There’s a  36  in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it’s nothing,but he  37  I come to see you.”

Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would  38  to add something,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything hereslf.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the  39 of her mouth.A careful examination later  40  that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.

During her next appointment,I explained to her the  41  of the problem.She clasped my hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just  42 .”

I thought otherwise.After considerable  43  on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to  44  me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected,  45  treatment.

About six months later she retarned to my office,still energetic and  46 .

“How are you?”I asked.

“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded  47  high spirits.“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”

Surprised to see her at all,I answered  48  ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had  49  nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness  50 .

I had read of such things happening,but had  51  seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I’ve seen many others,because they keep getting  52  to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are a miracle, 53  through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to  54  the miracles of one another.

Since my first miracle,I’ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is  55 we choose to find it.

【解析】

1.A考查名詞。下文告訴我們,老太太患的是癌癥,而不是受了傷,由此可見,這位老太太是因為上顎痛才來看病的,所以選pain。

2.C考查動詞。句意為:“我”告訴“我”的牙醫(yī)這沒什么,但是他卻堅持讓我來看看。由第二段中的“I found a large cancer that spread over much of the ____ of her mouth.”可以看出,她的病情很嚴(yán)重,所以應(yīng)該是她的私人醫(yī)生堅持要她來,因此要選擇insist“堅決主張”,后面從句要用虛擬語氣。declare宣布;suspect懷疑;promise承諾。

3.D考查動詞。陪同老太太來的是她80歲的兒子,他試圖補(bǔ)充點什么,但被老太太給阻止了。這里attempt to do sth.相當(dāng)于try to do sth.意思是“試圖做某事(但沒有成功)”。而manage to do sth.意思是“成功做成某事”; continue to do sth.意思是“繼續(xù)做某事”,顯然都不符合語境。

4.B考查名詞。上文提到,老太太感覺上顎(upper jaw)有點痛,所以應(yīng)該選擇roof,49空所在的句子也有暗示。roof在此處的意思是“牙床,上顎”。corner角落;區(qū)域;bottom底部;surface表面。

5.C考查動詞。confirm確認(rèn)。句意為:后來的檢查確認(rèn)這是一種嚴(yán)重的癌癥。convince(使)信服,說服;consider考慮;conclude推斷,得出結(jié)論。

6.B考查名詞。由40空后的“a particularly bad sort of cancer”可以看出,在下次來看病時,我向她解釋了病情的嚴(yán)重性(seriousness)。possibility可能性;importance重要性;resolution決心,解決。

7.D考查形容詞。由語境可知,老太太一直以為自己身體很健康,所以要選fine,意思是“(身體)好的”。下文的“I’m just fine,honey,”也是暗示。

8.B考查名詞。作為醫(yī)生,“我”一直在勸說老太太去找一位治療癌癥的外科醫(yī)生。老太太最終答應(yīng)是因為兩方面的原因,一方面是我的努力(effort),另一方面是老太太的善良,因為她想讓我高興,她才答應(yīng)去的。permission允許;support支持;approval同意,贊同。

9.C考查動詞。please意思是“使……高興;取悅某人”。解析見上題。persuade說服;encourage鼓勵;astonish(使)震驚。

10.C考查動詞。因為老太太去看外科醫(yī)生也是出于照顧“我”的面子,所以拒絕治療也在“我”的預(yù)料之中。根據(jù)前面對老太太的描述(kindness)可知,“婉言拒絕”符合語境,因此選declined。provide提供;receive收到;require需要。

11.C考查形容詞。解答此題的關(guān)鍵是空前的still,前文告訴我們,老太太一直很樂觀,認(rèn)為自己的病沒什么大礙,并拒絕了大夫的治療,所以應(yīng)該選optimistic,意思是“樂觀的”。。

12.B考查介詞。in high spirits為固定用法,意思是“興高采烈”。

13.C考查副詞。一個病入膏肓的病人在六個月后竟然精力充沛、神采依然,“我”很吃驚,也很困惑,所以選擇confusedly,意思是“困惑地”。worriedly擔(dān)心地;patiently有耐心地;confidently有信心地。

14.B考查動詞。cover覆蓋。句意為:幾乎覆蓋整個牙床的癌癥已經(jīng)消失了,只留下一小片紅。

15.D考查動詞。這里指的是癌癥癥狀消失后留下的東西,所以選擇remained,語意見上題。

16.C考查副詞。由上文“Surprised to see her at all”,“I couldn’t believe my eyes.”以及“That was my first miracle.” 可以看出,這里的意思是:我讀過類似的故事,但這之前從沒有親眼看到這樣的事情發(fā)生。所以選never。

17.A考查形容詞。從那以后我看到了很多其他類似的奇跡。這說明奇跡在變得越來越容易讓人看到,由此可以看出,easier符合語境。rare稀少的;happy幸福的;close接近的。

18.A考查連詞辨析。第二個分句是前一個分句的原因。句意為:并且人們都是奇跡,因為通過他們我們有機(jī)會了解我們自己,看見一個又一個的奇跡。for用來引出原因。

19.C考查語境化選詞。這一部分重點講的是看見身邊的奇跡,所以要選see。該段的前兩句都有暗示。

20.B考查語境化選詞。對應(yīng)前面的place,選擇wherever,句意為:從第一次奇跡之后,我逐漸明白:奇跡發(fā)生的時間和地點就在我們選擇發(fā)現(xiàn)它的地方。

閱讀下面的短文,然后按要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

   Middle and high school days are both fun and busy. Students spend their days in class, listening to the interesting and sometimes boring words of the teacher. They spend the short breaks running, playing, and shouting happily before going back to the classroom again. But how should students spend their free time outside school?

In Western countries, it is common for students to have a part-time job after school and at weekends. Students can earn their own money and learn more about the “real world”. They enjoy the extra independence and money, and parents enjoy the quiet house. However, it seems that, in China, parents worry so much about their children’ studies that they would prefer to see their children spending most of their free time studying and preparing for all those exams.

It is natural for parents to feel that way, but I believe the answer lies in balance. Sometimes, Western school children work long hours after school to make money, and so they become too tired to listen in class or have no time for homework. But Chinese students spend so much time on their studies that all else becomes less important until they want that new MP4 player.

So, find a good and healthy balance! If you have a part-time job, you’ll be happy, and your parents will also be happy because you’re spending your hard-earned money and not theirs!

科目:高中英語 來源:2010-2011學(xué)年廣東省中山市實驗高中高三上學(xué)期12月月考英語卷 題型:書面表達(dá)

閱讀下面的短文,然后按要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

“Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. The bundle(嬰兒包)was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped-the baby has been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance.

One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother’s arms, he cried out bitterly, “A boy, a big boy… called me a f-…freak.” She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks.

He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift for literature and music.

The boy’s father had a talk with the family doctor. Could nothing be done? “I believe we could graft(移植)on a pair of outer ears, if they could be donated,” the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice a young man. Two years went by. Then, “You’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’s a secret,” said the father.

The operation was a brilliant success. His talents blossomed (開花)into genius. School and college became a series of successes. Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交)service. “But I must know!” he urged his father. “Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him.”

“I do not believer you could,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know….not yet.” The years kept the secret, but the day did come…. one of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材).Slowly and tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to let out the secret.

科目:高中英語 來源:2010年黑龍江省高二上學(xué)期期中考試英語卷 題型:閱讀理解

The other day at the supermarket, I saw a naughty child of about six crying loudly, falling to the floor and refusing to move. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed. A little smack (摑打) on his bottom would have done the job, I thought.

Teenagers also cause discipline problems. As a teacher I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant. In fact, she had left home to stay with him. So we decided to put her in the school hostel. She refused. When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel she turned round and said: “Why don’t you stay in the hostel if you like it so much?”

My palms were itching to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her, hoping that gentle persuasion would work wonders. It did not. The last I heard, she had run away from home again.

    The list goes on and on. Could it be that today’s parents are softer and believe that they must not rod (棍棒懲罰) their children for fear of the bad result? Or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older? I beg to disagree. I believe it is the parents’ duty to discipline the children even at a young age.

    My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary. Later when they went abroad, they related to their British university friends on how they were disciplined. Their friends abroad were filled with horror and told my daughter that I could be charged for child abuse (虐待). However, my daughter paid me the greatest compliment when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline.

1. According to the passage, the author would probably _______.

   A. beat the children every day        B. punish the children when necessary

   C. 1eave the children as they are      D. treat the children in a softer way

2.The underlined word “to cajole” (in Paragraph 3) probably means _______.

   A. to persuade      B. to scold       C. to forgive      D. to punish

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

   A. The naughty boy’s mother hit him on the bottom at last.

   B. The teenager’s mother lived together with her daughter in the school then.

   C. The author was charged for child abuse by her daughter’s friends abroad.

   D. The author’s daughter was very thankful for her parent’s strict discipline.

4. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

   A. Respect Parents   B. Spoil Kids   C. Value Discipline  D. Protect Kids
