【題目】 To this day, I remember my mum’s letters. It all ______ in December 1941. Every night she wrote to my brother Johnny, who had been ______ that summer. We had not heard from him since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

Mum claimed that there was a direct ______ from the brain to the written word that was just as strong as the light God has granted us. She trusted that this light would ______ Johnny. I don’t know if she said that to ______ her mind or all of ours. But I do know that it helped us ______ together, and one day a letter from Jonny really did arrive. Johnny was alive on an island.

I had always been amused by the fact that mum ______ her letters, “Cecilia Capuzzi”, and I ______ her about why she didn’t just write “Mum”. I hadn’t been aware that she ______ thought of herself as Cecilia Capuzzi. Not as Mum. I began seeing her in a new light, this small _____ yet strong woman. We often sat recalling the days when our family was filled with laughter of four boys. They had all moved away from home to work, enrolled in the ______, or got married. All except me. Around next spring mum had got two more sons to ______. Little by little, the rumour about mum’s letters ______. One day a small woman knocked at our door. She opened her bag and ______ a pile of airmail letters, begging mum to read them from her son who was a soldier in Europe. Mum read the letters one by one. The woman’s eyes ______ with tears. A few days later the woman returned with a friend, then another one and yet another one—they all needed letters. Mum had become the _______ in our town.

“All people in this world are here with one particular ______,” Mum said. “______, mine is to write letters.” She tried to explain why it ______ her so much. “A letter_______ people like nothing else. It can make them cry, it can make them laugh and it makes the world seem very small. My dear, a letter is life itself!”

【解析】

這是一篇散文。作者回憶了母親喜歡寫信，信中充滿著母親對(duì)孩子的愛，這種愛能觸摸到的溫暖從指尖到作者的心里。母親寫信的事漸漸傳開了，很多人都來(lái)找母親幫忙，她已經(jīng)成為一名“通訊員”。母親告訴作者信起到了連接感情紐帶的作用，無(wú)可替代地把人與人連在一起，信就是生命本身。

【1】考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. gathered聚集；B. disappeared消失；C. started開始；D. happened發(fā)生。句意：事情要從 1941 年 12月說(shuō)起。作者在回憶，開始的時(shí)間是1941 年 12月。故C選項(xiàng)切題。

【2】考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. called呼叫；B. drafted 征兵；C. arrested逮捕；D. trained訓(xùn)練。句意：母親每晚都給我弟弟約翰寫信，那年夏天約翰應(yīng)征入伍。由下文“ We had not heard from him since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor”可知，自從日本襲擊珍珠港以后，他就一直杳無(wú)音信。所以約翰是一名軍人，那年夏天約翰應(yīng)征入伍的。故B選項(xiàng)切題。

【3】考查名詞辨析。A. link 聯(lián)系；B. signal信號(hào)；C. route路線；D. result結(jié)果。句意：她深信思想和文字是直接相連的，這種聯(lián)系就像上帝賦予人類的光芒一樣強(qiáng)大。母親把自己對(duì)兒子的掛念，都用文字表達(dá)了出來(lái)。所以她深信思想和文字是直接相連。故A選項(xiàng)切題。

【4】考查形容詞辨析。A. warm 使暖和；B. guide指導(dǎo)；C. tell告訴；D. find發(fā)現(xiàn)。句意：這道光芒終會(huì)照耀到約翰的身上。由上文可知，約翰杳無(wú)音信，母親寫信給兒子，并相信上帝能夠幫助她找到自己的兒子。所以這里用光芒比喻上帝的幫助，照在約翰身上，實(shí)際上就是找到了約翰。故D選項(xiàng)切題。

【5】考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. focus（使）集中；B. calm 使安靜；C. broaden 擴(kuò)大；D. strengthen 使穩(wěn)固。句意：雖然我不肯定她是否只是在安慰自己，或是我們。母親對(duì)兒子的掛念只能通過(guò)信的形式表達(dá)出來(lái)，可見這也是在安慰自己或者家人。這更是一種希望。故B選項(xiàng)切題。

【6】考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. swing 搖擺；B. struggle掙扎；C. stick 釘住；D. settle解決。句意：但我們一家人卻因此更加親密。而最終我們終于等到了約翰的回信。母親的信是情感的紐帶，所以家人也因此而更加親密。故C選項(xiàng)切題。

【7】考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. began開始；B. answered回答；C. signed在…上簽字；D. sealed 封上。句意：母親總以“塞西莉婭卡普奇”署名，每每令我忍俊不禁，還要嘲笑她幾句。根據(jù)常識(shí)可以判斷出，寫信要在信封上寫上寄信人的姓名和地址。所以signed “在……上簽字”符合句意。故C選項(xiàng)切題。

【8】考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. teased 取笑，調(diào)侃；B. persuaded說(shuō)服；C. reminded提醒；D. informed 告知。句意：母親總以“塞西莉婭卡普奇”署名，每每令我忍俊不禁，還要嘲笑她幾句。因?yàn)槟赣H以“塞西莉婭卡普奇”署名，所以作者忍不住會(huì)“嘲笑”她。這種“嘲笑”即使孩子的一種天性，也是一種母親和孩子之間的一種特別的愛。故A選項(xiàng)切題。

【9】考查副詞辨析。A. never決不；B. seldom 很少；C. ever曾經(jīng)；D. always一直。句意：以前我一直沒(méi)有留意到她把自己當(dāng)成塞西莉婭卡普奇，而不是母親。always是含有肯定意義的程度副詞,其基本意思是指某個(gè)行為發(fā)生頻率的百分之百或某種狀態(tài)存在的自始至終。這里表示以前作者一直沒(méi)有留意到母親把自己當(dāng)成塞西莉婭卡普奇。故D選項(xiàng)切題。

【10】考查形容詞辨析。A. liberal 慷慨的；B. delicate雅致的；C. reliable可依靠的；D. uneducated 未受過(guò)良好教育的。句意：我不禁以新的眼光打量自己的母親，她是多么優(yōu)雅，又是那么矮小，但是又很堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。作者以新的眼光打量自己的母親，此時(shí)母親時(shí)優(yōu)雅的。所以 delicate“雅致的”符合句意。故B選項(xiàng)切題。

【12】考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。A. cater to 迎合；B. relate to與...有關(guān)；C. write to 寫信給……；D. subscribe to 同意。句意：第二年春天，母親也要開始給另外兩個(gè)兒子寫信了。由上文“wrote to”可知，本空處是原詞再現(xiàn)。說(shuō)明母親也要開始給另外兩個(gè)兒子寫信了。故C選項(xiàng)切題。

【13】考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. circulated 傳播；B. arose 產(chǎn)生；C. faded 逐漸消失；D. ceased 停止。句意：母親寫信的事漸漸傳開了。由下文可知，很多人來(lái)找母親讀信或者寫信，所以母親寫信的事漸漸傳開了，很多人才會(huì)找她來(lái)幫忙。故A選項(xiàng)切題。

【18】考查副詞辨析。A. Apparently明顯地；B. Gradually逐漸地；C. Initially 最初；D. Eventually最終地。句意：每個(gè)人來(lái)到這個(gè)世界都有一個(gè)目的。顯然，我就是來(lái)寫信的。由“mine is to write letters.”可知，我就是來(lái)寫信的，這是很明顯地。故A選項(xiàng)切題。

How to Think Outside the Box with Creativity Exercises

Encouraging creative thinking inspires students to ask questions, try new things and apply ideas to practical situations. Use individual and group based activities to open the door to innovation and build individual confidence. Incorporate creativity activities into everyday subject matter like English, science and art. The result will be increased interest in learning and the opportunity for each student to believe in her power to be creative in a variety of situations. Three creativity exercises are suggested as follows.

Use a mind-mapping exercise to help students overcome mind blocks to creativity.

Joyce Wycoff, author of the book “Mindmapping,” explains that a mind map encourages creativity by stimulating the brain to think in different patterns. Put a concept in the center of a large piece of paper and have your students surround the paper, each holding a marker. Ask them to brainstorm ideas and write them as offshoots (分支) to the concept. Have them add images and draw connections between ideas. You can use this to help them create a project, study for tests or organize a research paper.

Play a game of charades to empower students to use their minds and bodies to help their team win the game.

Select words that apply to a new topic you wish to introduce to the class. For example, if you want to discuss the history of your state, pick words that illustrate historical events your class will study. Divide the class into teams and ask volunteers to act out the words. Have students guess what the words are, and write the words on the board after students guess them correctly so they can see a complete list at the end of the game. Go back and forth between teams until all words have been used. When the game is over, ask the class to guess what the words have in common.

Invigorate (鼓舞) your students and stimulate creative thinking by facilitating a sentence relay race.

The goal of the race is to see which team can compose a sentence on a given subject. Begin by taping large pieces of paper to the wall and line up student teams about 5 feet from the wall. Give the teams one marker and a subject for the sentence. Tell them the object of the race is to build a sentence, one word at a time. The first student in each team will begin the sentence with a word. He will then run the marker to the next teammate and continue the process until each student has added a word to the sentence. The sentence relay will encourage quick thinking and stimulate creativity. Use the race to introduce a social studies concept or to reinforce the plot of a story for English class.
