完形填空系列1
1．It is interesting to observe the way in which children so often react against their parents’ ideas, while at the same time 36 their parent’s characteristics. This is to say, the children grow up to have different 37 from their parents, yet to have 38 personalities. There is a 39 going on in the toy world at present over 40 children should be encouraged to have war toys. I do not see any 41 in forbidding them when I think of the 42 of my friend Henry.
Henry is the son of strict parents who were against war. He was never 43 toy soldiers or guns as a 44.
Henry 45 and went into the army, becoming a first-class soldier and 46 all sorts of honors in the army. In that way he became the 47 of what his parents might have 48 of their son. And yet there is a gentleness about Henry which shows a
49 personality. His sympathies(同情) which I can see must have come from his 50.
51 doing things differently from our parents, a lot of the 52 gets passed on.
Parents have to 53 their children what they believe to be right; but it is not much your ideas that the children 54 your example. Perhaps the best way to teach one’s child gentleness is not to forbid toy guns, but to be 55 in one’s own everyday life.

Yesterday was my stepmother’s birthday. I haven’t been home for a long time, so I wanted to stop by the house to
36
her on this special day. I have been
37
on a low income so I was afraid that I couldn’t afford the long
38 . Gas is so expensive nowadays!

I
40
at a shopping mall and found a present. It was the

gift and I knew she would love it.
42
when I got to the cashier, my card was
43
!
I didn’t have enough money to
44
the gift!
So I thought about the

for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something
46 , but I knew there was

else in the store she would have liked as much. So, I transferred some money from my saving account and was able to buy the gift. It took a
48
part of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
It turned out that she loved the gift and I
49
that even though I had spent almost all my money, my stepmother
50
the best. I was glad I gave her the best I could.
Before I
51
my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret handshake, he gave me some money. I hadn’t
52
anything to him about my financial
53
, but I guessed my dad just knew. When I got to the car, I saw the
54
he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift! It shows that doing the right thing always comes with great

with customers who complain about their food andwhere they are
38
is too big or too small. Little things like that tend to
39
a lot of us
40
but we manage to deal with it.
Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. It happened to be the very
41
near where I keep the dirty
42
in the boxes. Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and
43
running all over the house, it was crazy．
44
these elderly women were watching
45
I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers.
When they
46
their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what
47
I was in and what I planned to do in the future.
48
they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a
49
and gentle voice, “You are going places.（你前途无量） And that was it.” They left the
50
and I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me
51
to believe in myself．They
52
my spirit from being down and gave me a
53
to keep on working hard.
People used to tell me that I couldn’t have a career in
54
until I had a degree. I'm now a co-anchor (联合主持人) of a student-produced television
55
. And the best thing is: I'm only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school.

【解析】作者是一位17岁的中学生，利用业余时间打工。一天，在身心疲惫打工的时候，一个人一句话使作者对自己的前途重燃希望。那句话是：You Are Going Places（你前途无量）。
我去上班的时候心情非常不好。feeling down 是现在分词作伴随状语，意为“闷闷不乐”。倒数第二段的They 47 my spirit from being down也说明了该题答案。
43．B词义辨析。A帮助B应付，处理C谈论D遇见
deal with表示“对付”；help with帮助某人做......；talk with和......交谈；meet with遇到，经受。应付那些抱怨食品、座位等的顾客是大大小小的事情。
44．A seat是使动词，表示“使坐下”，be seated意为“坐下，就座”；sit是不及物动词，应为where they sat。顾客抱怨他们就座的位置。
45．C词义辨析。A吸引B避免C使生气D适应
annoy表示“使生气”。因为作者前面提到了顾客的种种抱怨，因此只能导致雇员的烦恼、生气。诸如此类的小事容易造成我们雇员的烦恼。
46．B词义辨析。A顾客B雇员C老板D雇佣者
剧中的our和下文的we给答案做了提示。employees表示“受雇者，雇工”。诸如此类的小事容易造成我们雇员的烦恼。
根据后面的where I keep the dirty 37 in the boxes句子，排除B项；不可能把脏盘子放在客人用餐的桌子上，故排除A；kitchen不会与客人用餐的地方处于同一个位置，故排除D。他们碰巧坐在我存放过用过的盘子附近的地方。spot表示“地方，地点”。
the dirty dishes指客人用过的盘子。因为作者是在餐厅打工的学生，所以“端盘子”才能与文章主题相符。
49．D上下文辨析。A男人B女人C人们D服务员该空指服务人员在餐馆的来回走动，穿梭服务。顾客们是来这里就餐的，不能来回走，故排除D，A，B两项太片面。顾客们的进进出出、服务人员的穿梭走动。
50．C连词辨析A和B或者C但是D因此 句意：虽然餐馆处于一片忙乱的状态，但是这三位妇女在专心的看着我。该空前的crazy给该空提出了暗示。
51．A特殊疑问词辨析。句意：注视着我为了确保每张桌子是干净的去迎接下一位顾客，而多么努力的工作。how相当于how hard。
52．B词义辨析。A完成的B完成的C订购D得到
句意：她们吃晚饭的时候。根据下文的I took their plates back to the kitchen排除C、D选项；complete往往用于完成“建筑物”、“工程”、“书籍”等；而finish制作完手中的事情，如：“用完”、“吃完”等。
53．A词义辨析。A年纪B地方C分数D职位
句意：她们询问我上哪个年级。
通过上下文，可知作者是个打工的学生，故B项符合文章。
当她们离开的时候，她们走过我身边。
as引导时间状语从句时，表示主从句的动作同时发生。由句意排除A、D选项；while引导时间状语从句时，从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词。
55．A词义辨析。A自信的B大声的C低的D令人愉快的
句意：她们从我身边走过时，有一个人用自信和温和的语调说。
由下文的You are going places.（你前途无量）推测说话者语气。因为说话人在鼓励作者，所以只有A项符合语境。
客人说完后就离开了餐馆。由下文知道，they指three elderly ladies，她们来餐馆用餐。
57．A 词义辨析A勇气B能力C想象D时间
根据文意可知，别人给予了作者自信的“勇气”，作者才得以重新振作起来。
58．B短语辨析。pick up表示“使恢复精神”。put down放下，镇压；take over接管；point out指出。她们让我振作起来。

When we read books we seem to enter a new world.
This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very
1
.
Some stories are told
2
they were true.
Real people who live in a normal world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do.
Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not
3
.
They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be
4 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this.
If we think about it, even realistic writing is only
5
.
How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real?
For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we do seem to learn something about the real world.
And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than
6
.
Reading, like writing, is an action.
It is a way of
7
.
When we read or write something, we do much more than simply look at words on a page.
We use our
8
--- which is real --- and our imagination ---which is real in a different way --- to make the words
9
in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy use the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think.
When we read
10
realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we know that we are real and they are not.
It sounds
11
, but it works.
When we read, we fill in missing information and
12
about the causes and effects of what a character does.
We help the writer by pretending that what we read is like real life.
In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our
13
when we are reading.
We
14
a book and lose ourselves in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next.
Knowing how we feel
15
we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.
