Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a
__16__
the summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a
__17__
. One of her colleagues needed a fulltime
__18__.“You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to
__19__
Nick instead？” Then she told me that this sixyearold boy was not a
__20__
child.
Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal daycare centers would not
__21__
him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left with equilibrium(平衡) problems. He couldn't
__22__
or run properly. I was
__23__
if I was to take the job when my mother
__24__，“Don't you want to
be
a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the
__25__.” Then I told her I was
__26__
for the job.
The day started at 7：00 a．m.. Nick was my wakeup call! With so much energy and very little
__27__， he was quite a mix.
At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy's face
__28__
up —
how he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be
__29__
to get a child to go down a slide(滑梯). Believe me, it wasn't! It took time, a lot of time. But with patience and support, Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his
__30__
and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.
Halfway through the summer, he
__31__
it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his
__32__. After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big
__33__
and asked, “ May I go down again, alone？” I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children
__34__ for granted.
This
__35__
child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.

D. special 答案与解析： 16．D 根据本句中的“before my busy senior year”可知作者想在这个夏天“放松”一下。 17．B do sb.a favour是固定搭配，表示“帮某人一个忙”。 18．A 下文提到Nick这个孩子与常人不同，由此可知作者母亲的同事需要一个全职“护士”。文章最后一段中的“being a nurse”也是线索提示。 19．C 作者的母亲建议作者志愿去“照顾”Nick。B项表示“帮助”，语意不太恰当。 20．A 根据下一段前半部分的叙述可推知他不是一个“正常的”孩子。其他选项在文章中没有信息支持。 21．C 结合上一句以及下一句的内容可推知正规的日托中心不“接受”他。此处强调的是主观愿望，因此B项不恰当；A项表示“承认”，D项表示“收养”，语意均不恰当。 22．D 结合空后的or run以及上一句的内容可知此处应用与run同类的walk，表示他不能正常地“走路”。 23．A 面对这样一个孩子，作者“犹豫不决”，不知是否应该接受这份工作。 24．C 根据作者的母亲所说的话可知她是在使用激将法“挑战”作者。A项表示“建议”，B项表示“争论”，D项表示“评价”，都不符合语境。 25．B 根据引号中的第一句话可知这里表作者的母亲怀疑作者是否有“勇气”接受这个挑战。A项表示“精力”，在文章中没有信息支持。 26．D 作者告诉母亲说自己做好了接受这份工作的“准备”。be eager for“渴望”，表示对成功的渴望或者对进取的热情，语意不太恰当。 27．B 此处用balance与第二段中的“equilibrium(平衡)problems”相呼应。这个孩子精力充沛，却几乎没有“平衡”能力。 28．C light up表示“高兴起来”。cheer up表示“振作起来”，shut up表示“闭嘴”，都与所给语境不符。 29．B 根据常识可知让一个正常的孩子从滑梯上滑下来是非常“简单的”事情。A项表示“要求多的，吃力的”；C项表示“有趣的”；D项表示“灵活的”。 30．A Nick不是一个正常的孩子，缺乏平衡性，而作者竟然想让他上滑梯，所以Nick需要面对“恐惧”。 31．D make it是固定用法，表示“成功”，即他成功地走到了滑梯的顶部。如果选择A项，应去掉句中的it。 32．B 作者和他一起滑下滑梯后，等待着他的“反应”。下文中没有提到他的笑声，因此A项不恰当。 33．A 他当时显然不相信自己能够安然无恙地滑下滑梯，激动之情可想而知，所以此项最能显示他当时的兴奋之情。 34．C “take...for granted”是固定搭配，表示“把……想当然，认为……是理所应当的”，即其他孩子认为爬上滑梯是很自然的事情。 35．D 上文提到Nick不是一个正常的孩子，所以此处强调的是他非常“特殊”。A项表示“悲惨的，痛苦的”，B项表示“聪明的”，C项表示“勇敢的”，都不符合语境。 Ⅲ.七选五 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Three quarters of old people live alone, and security is especially important to older people with poor eyesight. At the same time, old people tend to worry more about crime, and feel more vulnerable(易受伤害的)than others.

you
think somebody is trying to get into your home. __39__

A. had he; Yes
B. did he; No C. do I; Yes
D. could he; No
答案与解析：B 句意：——我猜Jimmy在上周的期中考试中不可能做得挺好，对不对？——是的，他差点没及格。suppose后接否定概念时，应将否定提前，故后面的反意疑问句部分应该用肯定形式。从句中的could have done是对过去发生的事情的推测且从句中有明显的时间状语last week，故用一般过去时。根据答语可知第二个空应用no，表示否定。 Ⅴ.语法专练 1．(2010·北京朝阳区)Some teenagers ________ their health because they often expose themselves to so many electric products.

[解题警示] (1)prefer是“比较喜欢，更喜欢”的意思，即like better，因此就不能再与better, more等比较级词语连用。 (2)注意比较prefer to do...rather than do与would rather do... than do的搭配不同，rather than do也可放到句首。 (3)要注意prefer...to...中的to是介词，不要误用作不定式符号。 (4)prefer后接宾语从句时从句要用虚拟语气。这时要注意宾语从句的动词形式。

1. What kind of lifestyle do you think the people have？你认为这些人会有什么样的生活方式？ 本句用到的句型为：特殊疑问词＋do you think/believe/imagine...＋其他。由于插入语的一般疑问句已经采用了疑问语序，故它后边的部分须用正常的陈述语序，这种结构被称为双重疑问句。常用于这种结构的动词有think，guess，suggest，suppose，hope，say，believe，imagine等。 What do you think has happened？你认为发生了什么事情？ Who do you suppose would believe that story？你想谁会相信那个故事呢？

Of course, I couldn't live this lifestyle without a good wife.当然，没有一个好妻子，我不可能过上这种日子。 without a good wife称作含蓄虚拟条件句，相当于if I didn't have a good wife，表达的情况与现在事实相反，因此句子使用couldn't＋动词原形。 We couldn't be happy without your help.(与现在事实相反) 如果没有你的帮助，我们现在不可能开心。 Without the air to hold some of the sun's heat, the earth at night would be freezing cold, too cold for us to live.

②引导目的状语从句时，从句中常带有can, could, may, might, would等情态动词，通常可以与in order that, in order to do sth.，so as to do sth.，to do sth.等进行句式的转换。其中in order to do sth., so as to do sth.，to do sth.后跟不定式，so as to do sth.不放于句首。

词 语 解 读 1.matter vi.重要，有重大关系 n．物质；问题；毛病 to make matters worse更糟糕的是 no matter不要紧，没关系 as a matter of fact实际上；不瞒你说；确实 It doesn't matter.没关系。
[解题警示] “他问我怎么回事”习惯上说：He asked me what was the matter. (此处因what作主语，故后边语序不变)，而有些学生惯用He asked me what the matter was.句子虽正确，但意思不同，此处是“他问我那物质是什么。”
[考试题] ①(武汉)Don't worry. It's only a(n) ________of money. We will try our best to collect enough. A. matterB. affair C. business
D. accident 答案与解析：A 考查名词辨析。短语a matter of表示“(仅仅、就)只是……的事而已”，如a matter of days/time“仅仅几天，只是时间的早晚”。句意：别担心，这只是钱的事情而已，我们会尽力募集够的。 。 [预测题] ②The thing that ________ is not whether you fail or not, but whether you try or not. A．mattersB．cares C．minds
D．considers
答案：A
2．relaxing与relaxed relaxing和relaxed均为形容词，两者都可以作定语，表语及补语成分。 (1)relaxing意思是“有助于休息的，令人放松的”；它修饰事物或说明事物的特征。 Joking before the exams is relaxing. 考前说笑是令人放松的。 After a day's hard work, I want a relaxing evening. 一天的努力工作之后，我需要一个轻松的夜晚。 (2)relaxed意思是“放松的，冷静的，镇定的，自在的”；它作表语时应是某人作主语。 He was relaxed and confident before the match. 比赛前，他显得镇定而自信。 3．suppose vt.认为，猜想 suppose＋that/to be认为，猜想 be (not) supposed to (do)(不)被期望，(不)应该 suppose/supposing that(与given, provided通用) 表示“假定……结果会怎么样？” I suppose so./No, I suppose not./No, I don't
suppose so.我认为这样。/不，我不认为这样。/ 不，我不认为这样。 [解题警示] ①think, believe, suppose, imagine, expect等动词用于否定转移，not实际上否定宾语从句的谓语。 I don't suppose she will agree. 我料想她不会同意。
注意以下用法区别：
I don't think/suppose/believe/expect so.＝I think/suppose/believe/expect not.而hope, guess, be afraid只能用： 而不能用I don't guess so./I don't hope so./I'm not afraid so. ②以上句子变反意疑问句时，反问在宾语从句上，且用肯定形式，但如果主句的主语不是第一人称则反问在主句上。如： I don't suppose he will come today, will he? You don't suppose he will come today, do you? ③当提问suppose等后面的宾语从句的某一成分，变特殊疑问句时，往往把主句变为一般疑问句，从句语序不变。 I suppose he has managed to prevent the accident. →What do you suppose he has managed to prevent?
