　　(一)

　　It was a test all of us would hope to pass, but none of us really wants to take. A masked gunman points his weapon at a Christian and asks “Do you

　　__1__ God？” She knows that if she says “yes，” she’ll pay for her belief. But unfaithfulness to her Lord is unthinkable.

　　So, with what would be her last

　　__2__， she calmly answers “Yes, I believe in God.”

　　As you may have guessed, the event I’m describing took place last Tuesday in Littleton, Colorado.

　　As the Washington Post __3__， the two students who shot 13 people, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, did not choose their victims at random(随意)—they were __4__ out of ugly prejudices(偏见)．

　　Media coverage has focused on the killers’ hostility(敌意) toward racial minorities and athletes, but there was another group the pair __5__ every bit as much, if not more: Christians. And, there were plenty of them to hate at Columbine High School. According to some __6__ eight Christians—four Evangelicals and four Catholics—were killed.

　　Among them was Cassia Bernall. And it was Cassia who made the dramatic __7__ I’ve just described —fitting for a person whose __8__ movie was Brave Heart, in which the hero dies a martyr’s(殉教的) death.

　　Cassia was a 17­year­old junior with long blond hair that she wanted to __9__ and have made into wigs(假发) for cancer patients who had lost their hair through chemotherapy(化疗). She was __10__ in her youth group at West Pool’s Community Church and was known for carrying a Bible to school.

　　Cassia was in the school library reading her Bible when the two young killers __11__ . According to witnesses, one of the killers pointed his gun at Cassia and asked, “Do you believe in God？” Cassia __12__ and then answered, “Yes, I believe in God.” “Why？” the gunman asked. Cassia did not have a chance to respond. The gunman had already shot her dead.

　　Since I have been in my new neighborhood, I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of my neighbors. My __13__ idea was to make small fruit baskets and leave them on each of my neighbors’ front porches(门廊) the night of Christmas Eve for them to find. I signed the cards: “Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”

　　I __14__ the friendly lady for last, since I was still not exactly sure where she lived. I __15__ decided upon a house down about where I met her each morning and felt relatively sure that it was hers.

　　This morning I noticed a small __16__ inside the mailbox. It was addressed simply—Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road. I opened the __17__ and took out a thank­you card.

　　About a year ago I remember getting a call from the school just as I came home after having driven 20 minutes to the school and 20 minutes back. “Mrs. Brown, your son

　　__25__

　　us to call. He forgot his sports clothes. Can you come back to the school and drop them off？” I got very

　　__26__

　　! I had already spent 40 minutes in the busy weekday morning traffic. I replied, “Sorry, I’m working at the moment. I’m afraid that my son needs to learn to be

　　__27__ .” Ouch. Yes, it was tough to do so, but I hated it that my son thought my only

　　__28__

　　in life was to always be ready to do what he wanted.

　　So today, about a year later, the school called me again. This time my son got on the phone. “Mom, I’m really sorry but I forgot my sports clothes. Would you

　　__29__

　　if you dropped them off for me？” His

　　__30__

　　was genuinely sweet and unassuming(谦逊的). I decided to say

　　__31__

　　. I had some flexibility in my schedule and more importantly, my son had the right

　　__32__

　　—he was not assuming anything. When I arrived at the school and got to the main office, the school secretary

　　__33__

　　that my son had been very reluctant to call me. While passing the clothes to my son, I told him that I would

　　__34__

　　to do that sort of thing—__35__

　　he forgets something, I won’t come back to the school to drop it off.

　　Being a good parent requires delivering tough love sometimes because kids need to learn to be

　　__36__

　　and manage things on their own. If you always do everything they want for them, they’ll never learn to look after themselves, and probably fail in today’s competitive world.

　　A person began reflecting on the people who had a positive effect on his life. In particular he remembered a woman teacher who had

　　__37__

　　to instill(灌输) in him a love of poetry. He had not seen or spoken to her for many years and took a moment to remember the effect she had on his life. He

　　__38__

　　found her address and sent her a letter of thanks. A short time later, he received this

　　__39__

　　：

　　“I cannot tell you how much your letter

　　__40__

　　to me. I am in my eighties, living alone in a small room and cooking my own meals. You will be interested to know that I taught school for 50 years and yours is the first note of appreciation that I ever

　　__41__

　　. It came on a cold morning, and it

　　__42__

　　me as nothing has in many years.”

　　The

　　__43__

　　that were written back to the person brightened his day.

　　We never know who we are “touching” in our lives. We can say one word or maybe a short conversation with someone that can

　　__44__

　　change their life.

　　__45__

　　we all have a great effect on each other, yet we do not always get recognized for our efforts.

　　Therefore, appreciate someone today.

　　__46__

　　some people who have had a positive effect on your life and send them a sincere thank­you or appreciation card today. Find their address and mail them a greeting card, letting them know how they have

　　(一)

　　全文讲述了宗教仇恨主义者枪杀了几名宗教信仰者。在这里面就有Cassia，她是一个充满爱心的初中生，面对杀人魔鬼，她勇敢地说出自己的信仰，为信仰而殉难。

　　1．A　 联系下文“Yes, I believe in God.”我们知道，别人问是否信仰上帝。其他选项中，care for照顾，喜欢；fight against与……战斗； rely on依靠。

　　2．B　 由短文最后两句Cassia did not have a chance to respond. The gunman had already shot her dead.我们知道，“我相信上帝”是她说的最后一句话。

　　3．A　 联系空前的the Washington Post我们知道，《华盛顿邮报》对此事进行了报道。

　　4．C　 联系空后的out of ugly prejudices我们知道，他们是出于丑恶的偏见才采取这样的行动的。A有一定的干扰性，联系前面我们知道，kill为及物动词，因此后面要跟宾语。

　　5．D　 联系空前的hostility和空后的as much，我们知道，他们对基督徒的仇视一点也不少。

　　6．A　 空后是具体的数字，因此这里讲的是统计数字。

　　7．B　 the dramatic decision在这里指的是宁愿被杀死，也要说自己信奉上帝的生死抉择。

　　8．A　联系下文in which the hero dies a martyr’s(殉教的) death，我们知道，因为《勇敢的心》的主人公为教义而死，与自己有同样的信仰，因此这是她最喜欢的电影。

　　9．C　 联系空后的have made into wigs for cancer patients我们知道，她把自己的头发留起来，以准备将来把它剪下来留给癌症病人。dress up装扮，打扮；put up 举起，张贴，建立；make smart弄整洁。

　　10．A　因为她有很深的宗教信仰，再联系空后的at West Pool’s Community Church我们知道，她在教会是非常积极活跃的。

　　11．D　 burst in意思是“冲进来”，说明暴徒的疯狂。

　　12．A　 paused意思是“稍微停顿”，符合此时她在考虑是说假话保全性命还是说真话维护自己的信仰。其他选项都不是危急时刻的反应。

　　23．C　作者本想把那篮子水果送给那位女士，可她没有“收到”，作者有些怨恨。

　　24．A　作者通过上述事情认识到人生没有“失误”，有时会有出人意料的结果。

　　(三)

　　儿子第一次忘记带运动衣的时候他请求老师打电话通知“我”给他送过去，“我”拒绝了；儿子第二次忘记带运动衣的时候他自己打电话有礼貌的请求“我”给他送过去，“我”同意了。 是的，对孩子的教育，有时家长要学会运用“严厉的爱”。

　　25．C　学生叫老师做事自然是礼貌地“请求”了，故选C。

　　26．B　根据“我”所说的话可推断“我”对儿子的行为生气了，故选B。

　　27．D　儿子忘记了带运动衣，“我”不帮他送衣服就是希望他今后学会做事有安排、有条理，故选D。

　　28．A　“我”不喜欢儿子认为“我”唯一的人生目的就是随时准备为他做事，故选A。

　　29．C　根据“His … was genuinely sweet and unassuming(谦逊的)可推断此处儿子正在有礼貌地请求“我”帮他做事，故选C。Would you mind if…？是一个礼貌地请求他人做事的句型，符合语境。

　　44．B　根据we all have a great effect on each other中“great”的提示可判断选B。

　　45．C　尽管我们彼此之间影响极大，但我们并不是总能意识到我们的努力。即：我们无意之中就对他人施加了影响。根据前后的让步关系可判断选C。

　　46．B　该空是根据上文所描述的内容得出的议论，故根据上文In particular he remembered a woman teacher中remembered的提示可判断选B。

　　47．D　根据上文We never know who we are “touching” in our lives中“touching”的提示可判断选D。
