Question

Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment－to draw a picture of something for which they were __31__.

Most of the class might be considered economically __32__，but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies of the season. These，the teacher thought，would be the __33__ of most of her students’ art. And they were.

But Douglas made a different kind of __34__.Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery，weak and __35__.As other children played at break，Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the __36__ Douglas felt behind those sad eyes.

Yes，his picture was __37__.When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful，he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an __38__ hand.

His abstract image __39__ the imagination of his peers. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer，because farmers __40__ turkeys. Another suggested a police officer，because the police protect and __41__ people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God，for God feeds us. And so the __42__ went－until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself.

When the children had gone on to other assignments，she __43__ at Douglas’desk，bent down，and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and __44__，“It’s yours，teacher.” She __45__ the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there，__46__ she had the other students. How often had she said，“Take my hand，Douglas，we’ll go outside.” Or，“Let me show you how to __47__ your pencil.”O(jiān)r，“Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.

Brushing aside a tear，she went on with her work.

The story speaks of __48__ thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing __49__，and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks，but they’ll remember the hand that __50__.

【解析】

1.A。由下文可知，老師布置的作業(yè)是畫出他們想感謝的東西。

2.選 A。由后面表示轉(zhuǎn)折的 but 可知這里指經(jīng)濟(jì)上不富裕的，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有 A 項(xiàng)“不利的”符合文意。

3. D。老師認(rèn)為像火雞或一些傳統(tǒng)的食品會(huì)成為孩子們繪畫的主題，subject“主題”，符合文意。

4.選 D。上文提到老師讓大家畫一幅畫，故選 D 項(xiàng)。

5.選 B。由 misery“不幸”和 weak 及下文可知他是個(gè)不開(kāi)心的孩子，故選 B 項(xiàng)。

6.選 C。由句中的 sad eyes 可以判斷 pain 符合句意，前后照應(yīng)，為正確答案。

7.選 C。照應(yīng)上段的第一句話，答案應(yīng)為 C 項(xiàng)，他的畫確實(shí)與眾不同。

8.選 C。從上下文可知，他只畫了一只手，沒(méi)有別的，empty 意為“空的”，最符合語(yǔ)境。

9.選 A。他的這種抽象的圖像讓他的同學(xué)們浮想聯(lián)翩。raise“引起，激起”，此處指引起了大家的好奇心。

10.選 B。結(jié)合句意，顯然 feed 符合語(yǔ)境，意為“飼養(yǎng)，撫養(yǎng)”。rise“升高，站起來(lái)”；bring“帶來(lái)，造成”；plant“種植”。

11.選 D。結(jié)合 protect 和警察的身份可知，care for“關(guān)心，照料，喜歡”符合句意。look for“尋找”；fight for“為……而戰(zhàn)斗”；compete for“為奪取……而比賽”。

12.選 A。照應(yīng)上下文，大家的“討論“繼續(xù)進(jìn)行，直到老師幾乎忘了這個(gè)孩子了。

13.B。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境分析，老師應(yīng)是在道格拉斯的桌子旁停了下來(lái)。

14.C 從上文對(duì)道格拉斯的描述， look away“把臉轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)去”，及可知他比較內(nèi)向，怯于言辭，故 whisper“小聲說(shuō)”符合語(yǔ)境。

15.選 D。她想起那些次她抓住這個(gè)孩子的手，帶著他到處走，就像對(duì)其他孩子那樣。顯然 D 項(xiàng)符合句意。

16.選 A。結(jié)合上題的講解可知應(yīng)選 A 項(xiàng)，as 用做連詞，表示“像……一樣”，而其他選項(xiàng)則無(wú)此用法。

17.選 D。老師教小孩子當(dāng)然是如何“握”筆了，故 hold“拿，握住”符合句意。

18.B。 other than“除了”；more than“超過(guò)，不只是”；ratherthan“而不是”；less than“少于”。根據(jù)句意“這個(gè)故事談到的不僅僅是感恩”，可知 B 項(xiàng)符合句意。

19.選 A。照應(yīng)前半句中的 teachers teaching 和 parents parenting可知，應(yīng)選擇 friendship 與 friends 呼應(yīng)。

20.B，考查詞組辨析：give out分發(fā)，散發(fā)，用盡，reach out伸出，和句意符合，他們不會(huì)總是說(shuō)謝謝，但是會(huì)記住伸出的手。
