完形填空之夹叙夹议类
【2017年高考命题预测】
纵观近几年的高考完形填空的考查走势,全国18套卷中的完形填空中,夹叙夹议类完形填空出现的几率还是很高的。因此,夹叙夹议类完形填空将继续成为高考命题的热点。
【考点定位】2017考纲解读和近几年考点分布
英语考试大纲对考生完形填空的能力要求:通篇把握全文,根据上下文的逻辑关系,综合运用所学语言基础知识进行分析﹑推理﹑判断把握语篇特征,具有一定的语篇分析理解能力。完形填空检测考生在阅读理解的基础上对英语语言知识综合运用的能力。
不同体裁、不同主题的文章,其语段就会使用不同的写作模式。夹叙夹议完形填空的特点是篇幅略长,起点高,容量大,思路跳跃性强。记叙和议论在文中交错运用。有的是议论引出记叙;有的是在记叙的基础上发出议论。
近年来,夹叙夹议类文章在高考完形填空中出现的频率越来越高。此类文章题材较贴近考生生活实际,内容积极且有教育意义;结构清晰,脉络有序;以叙为主,叙议结合,叙述灵活,侧重语境。解答夹叙夹议类完形填空题时,思维要灵活,要随着记叙与议论的转换,及时调整思维方式。
高考完形填空的选材多为夹叙夹议的文章。文章较易读懂,所设选项多为基础题。每个空都需要考生逾越句子甚至段落,联系上下文语境和词汇的具体意义进行理解和推断,才能得出正确答案。题材广泛,涉及的内容丰富,重点考查实词,兼顾虚词。
夹叙夹议完形填空多知识性强,趣味性浓厚。根据今年的高考英语完形填空的命题特点,预测201年的完形填空题所选材料将更加贴近考生生活实际,内容更
【考点Pk】
英语完形填空在考查语法、表达法、词语搭配的基础上重点考查对语篇的整体理解、前后的逻辑关系的把握。经反复研究完形填空原题后,我们发现主要有以下考点:
考点1考杳语法规则
考考生语法知识的运用能力。近年来完形填空中单纯考查语法知识的题一般不考,只是偶尔有个别考题。例如:
“Can I? I don't think I can;' Tracy said with a laugh. “But I do have when things come to me for no reason.”
A. events B. chances C. feelings D. moments
【解析】由后面的when引导的定语从句可知,前面的先行词应是表时间的词,所 以先 moments。
2.考查固定搭配
考查考生对常见的英语固定短语和习惯用法的掌握情况。如动词与名词的搭配;动词与介词或副词的搭配;介词与名词的搭配等。这类搭配在完形填空中时有出现。如:
I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them ______ the telephone.
A. with
B. by
C. from
D. on
【解析】表示“通过电话”交谈,说 on the telephone 或 by telephone,这是习惯搭配。
考点3. 考查词语辨析
考查考生在特定语境中区别近义词的能力。四个选项词性相同,意义相近,要求我们在特定的语境中区分它们之间的细微差别。一般说来,其中的两个选项容易排除,难辨的是两个。如:
Although I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his ______ qualities. First of all…
A. basic
B. special
C. common
D. particular
【解析】根据句意很容易排除A和C;难辨是的B和D。special强调“与众不同的”,而particular指“值得注意的”,故选B。
考点4. 考查行文逻辑
考查考生对上下文逻辑关系的理解,如转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、递进关系、增补关系、比较关系、对比关系等。四个选项都是表示文章的起承转合、上下连贯等逻辑关系的词语。如:
Once he ______ sang a song in class in order to make a point clear.
A. also
B. nearly
C. even
D. only
考点5. 考查经验常识
考查考生在日常的学习和生活中所积累的经验和基本常识,以及一些基本的科学常识。如:
But we run so much that, afterwards, we had trouble ______.
A. speaking
B. moving
C. sleeping
D. breathing
【解析】跑得太多,其结果当然是上气不接下气,即呼吸困难了,我们一般都会有这样的生活经历。
考点6. 考查文章结构
考查考生对文章脉络层次的把握能力。如:
First of all, I respected his devotion to teaching…______, I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk…Finally, I was attracted by his lively sense of humor.
A. Later
B. Secondly
C. However
D. Therefore
【解析】本文的写作结构很清楚:开篇点题——难忘的哲学教授;诸条陈述——何以难忘:前有 First of all 提起, 后有 Finally 落脚,那么中间只有用 Secondly 来过渡了。
考点7. 考查逻辑推理
考查考生根据文意和所掌握的知识经验进行简单的逻辑推理来确定选项的能力。如:
He was reading my words out loud to the class…the whole class was laughing with open-hearted enjoyment. I did my best not to show ______, but what I was feeling was pure happiness…
A. shock
B. wonder
C. worry
D. pleasure
【解析】一个学生的作品被老师选中且在班上宣读时该会是怎样的心情?我们不难判断:愉快!
考点8. 考查前后语境
考查考生根据上下文提供的信息进行分析及推理的能力。完形填空题中绝大多数属这种题型。有的根据上文、有的根据下文、有的要上下文结合,甚至通篇看完并理解才能作出正确的选择。如:
“As a matter of fact, I’ve got someone in the office at this very moment who might ______.” She wrote down a number, and held it out to me, saying: “Ring up this lady. She wants a cook immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”
A. hire
B. accept
C. suit
D. offer
【解析】根据下文,这个妇女告诉他第二天可以去上班了,可见,她认为作者是适合(suit)的。

to which they have so quickly become
31 .
People often speak of trying a more satisfying path, and

38
everything in terms of dollars and cents, we learn form a young age to consider the costs of our

In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one. The

is that countries around the world have growing mountains of

of this throwaway lifestyle. Mountains of rubbish just keep getting bigger. To

the amount of rubbish and to protect the

Maybe there is another way out. We need to repair our possessions

It was a rainy morning and the children, mainly boys with various learning difficulties, refused to settle for the start of the lesson. As an inexperienced teacher, I tried every means to get them to be
36
, but in vain. my panic was rising and I could feel my heart beating wildly. This was the
37
of my job as a music teacher, I thought -- teaching was not for me. Then I had an idea. Hoping that no one would notice that I was
38
inside, I threw my voice as far as it would reach: "Put your heads on the desks and close your
39
! We are going on a journey."
40
, the children fell silent. "Now what should I do?" I thought to myself. Reaching over to my collection of CDs, I blindly

Where do you go when you want to learn something? School? A friend? A tutor? These are all
41
places of learning. But it may well be that the learning you really want
42
somewhere else instead. I had the
43
of seeing this first hand on a

My daughter plays on a recreational soccer team. They did well this season and so
45
a tournament, which normally was only for more skilled club teams. This led to some
46
experiences on Saturday as they played against teams
47
trained. Through the first two games, her
48
did not get one serious shot on goal. As a parent, I
49
seeing my daughter playing her best,
50
still defeated.
It seemed that something clicked with the
51
between Saturday and Sunday. When they
52
for their Sunday game, they were
53
different. They had begun to integrate (融合) the kinds of play and teamwork they had
54
the day before into their
55
. They played aggressively and
56
scored a goal.
It
57
me that playing against the other team was a great
58
moment for all the girls on the team. I think it is a general principle.

what they would have gotten in school, but are certainly more personal and meaningful, because they had to work them out on their own.

attitude.

I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me.I was a new 21 , and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting. 22 he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his 23 .
So when Simon’s mother entered the room, my palms(手掌心) were sweating. I was completely 24 for her lisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech. 25 me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he 26 me, he had began to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had 27 spent an afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the 28 I had nurtured(培养) in her son. She kissed me again and left.
I sat, stunned (惊呆), for about half an hour, 29 what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without 30 knowing it? What I finally came to 31 was one day, several months before, when some students were 32 reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke 33 , and to encourage her to raise her voice, L had sai, “Speak up. Simon’s the expert on this. He is the 34 one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the 35 of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, 36 more, and became happy. And it was all because he 37 to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed 38 was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most 39 lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came 40 and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.

【两年模拟】2015、201名校模拟题及其答案解析
1.【】
I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left
21 .Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other
22
?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s,
23
children from different races and religions played and studied
24
in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s__ 25
from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu-we just
26
our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well
27
or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we’d
28
the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to
29
the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his
30
.
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I 31
touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I
32
my destination. The driver acknowledged my
33
but did not move off. Instead, he looked
34
at me. “Raddar?”he said, using my childhood nickname(绰号). I was astonished at being so
35
addressed(称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two
36
we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something
37
to describe.
If we can allow our children to be
38
without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be
39
their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies build and
40
we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “we happy few, we band of brothers”.

I want you to know I'm not,”he told Tony,

Tony replied,“If it not be for the one

The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their ___26___, but also provide food for outside ___27___.Hotel guests have their meals free , so they ___28___ go to the free dining rooms to have their meals, and the ___29___ they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter.With such ___30___ check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to wine and dine free of ___31___.
Finnish workers are paid by the hour.If you work in Finland and have ___32___ the boss on the hourly rate, then you just say how many hours you have worked and you’ll be paid ___33___.
With so many loop holes in every day life, surely Finland must be a good country to those who ___34___ to take “petty advantages”.But the ___35___ thing is, all the taxi passengers always come back to pay their ___36___ after they have attended to their business; not a ___37___ outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms; workers always give the exact hours they have ___38___...As the Finns always act on good faith and always have a (an) ___39___ of “right is right” and “wrong is wrong” in every thing they do, so to live in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.

5.【安徽省“皖南八校”2016届高三第二次联考】Relationships are hard.
It doesn't matter whether it is a relationship 41
two workmates, a doctor and a patient,
a mother and her child or a couple. The fact is,
42
it
is a relationship involving people, there will always be conflicts once in a while because
43
human beings are complicated(复杂的).
I guess even in the animal kingdom there are complications, too. For instance, just last weekend l thought my neighbor's cows were
44
.
They like standing outside our gate where there is a huge tree they use to
45
themselves from the burning sun. Anyway, it was quite
46
that the grey cow was angry about something and since I didn't
47
“cows", I couldn't tell what she was complaining about. My guess was that one of the other cows had done/said something to
48
her because there was one cow she kept ”addressing".
I guess this goes to 49
tat as long as one is breathing (man or animal), misunderstandings and
50
will always happen, regardless of whether it is at home or at the office, until one is finally
51
.
The
52
is how you handle your displeasure. How do you conduct your arguments? What words do you use7 After the argument, do you ever sit back and probably
53
anything that you might have said in anger? I ask this
54
I know for a fact that when you are angry, the likelihood of having the best
55
you'll ever regret is very high. The words you speak to someone can either build them up, or break them down, or start
a
56
in their heart or put it out completely. That is how
57 words are. Words have the power to 58
or destroy.
If you do not want to hurt those you come into
59
with, remember to be careful with your words because once they are
60
,they can only be forgiven, not forgotten.

“Why is it so

that some people have it all?” I thought.

A few weeks later, this question was
50
for me. I was waiting at my usual spot and the lady’s husband came over to their car. He opened the door. The pretty woman
51
walked around to the passenger side—leaning on a walking cane. She
52
one leg with her hands and then the other. She had an artificial limb (假肢)on her left leg and a brace on her right one.
As they drove away, I began to cry. When my husband arrived, I told him about what had

. He said that he knew her husband and that, when the lady was twelve years old, she had been
54
in a car that got stuck on the railroad tracks. Unfortunately, both her parents were killed. The rail company made a large
55
with her because the crossing had no
56
. That’s
57
she owns such a nice car now.

We all often deal with people who complain about the failures and troubles of their daily lives. Life
41
to be full of problems for them. I would like to think such a life
42
unusual. If there were no problems in your job, then your
43
would hire a much less capable person than you to do the things that don’t
44
much thought. In the business world, those who are able to solve difficult problems are the ones who are the most
45
to the employer.
Many times the problems or challenges we face
46
us to grow and become more capable. The runner who
47
for the mile run in the Olympics by running downhill will have no chance of winning the medal
48
. The runner who trains by running uphill is far more likely to
49
the speed and endurance(忍耐力) needed to win the medal.
The
50
thing that ever happened to boxer Gene Tunney was that he
51
both hands in the ring. But at that time his manager felt that he could
52
again punch(重击) hard enough to be the heavyweight champion. Instead, Tunney
53
that he would become a scientific boxer and win the title as a boxer, not a slugger(重击者). Boxing historians will tell you that he developed into one of the best boxers who ever fought. They
54
will tell you that as a puncher, he would not have had a chance
55
Jack Dempsey, who was considered by many to be the hardest
56
in heavyweight history. Tunney would never have been champion
57
he had not had the problem of his broken hands.

A phone call reached me one cold winter day. I was
21 that my father was seriously ill.I had not seen my father since his divorce from my mom, and he had lived alone in a small trailer (拖车式活动房)in California, 300 miles away from me. The real
22
between us seemed much greater. I was in no hurry to change that, but 23 I promised to be there the next day.
The whole drive down,
24 flashed through my mind. I remembered my father, the proud Marine (海军陆战队队员). He snatched off the Christmas tree all the decorations the rest of us had put up and rehung them so there was 25
the same spacing between them. But we needn't 26 those military orders. I remembered clearly the battles he had with my mother. I remembered 27 to hear my father say just once, “I love you, Patty”, only to have him 28 at me, “You can't do anything right!”
Standing outside his trailer, I tried to
29 my courage to face him one more time. Slowly,I took a few steps inside, my hand and my whole body shaking, too 30 to believe my eyes. Sitting on the sofa, my father looked confused and frustrated. This wasn't the angry and 31 man I had known growing up. This man was 32 and seemed broken. Part of me felt sorry for him, but another part of me was thinking this was exactly the fate he 33
.
“God, what am I supposed to do now?” I wondered. But as soon as the words
34 me, a sense of sorrow
35 me, and I knew that I had to take him to my home.
It was the 36 part I struggled with. The days of looking after my father turned into weeks, then months. All the pain, the conflicted feelings I'd been 37 over the years came rushing out. One night, I sat there, talking to God, begging him to help me let go of the ugly feelings I had toward my father. When I was finished, I felt an incredible peace, as if every 38 had been lifted from me. 39 had cleaned all that from me and I felt free to start living the joyful life God wanted me to live.
It has been eight years since father died. Now when I think of him, those are the moments I remember, which are, as I put on Dad's headstone, God's amazing 40

The World Always Makes Way for the Dreamer
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler 36
everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling, I 37
there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to 38
people feel like that.” My father asked me 39
I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Zigler,” I replied. A(An)
40

Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others.
41
a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 Company
42
as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the height of my
43
. Many people were
44
that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked
45
I would risk everything for a dream.
I made my
46
to start my own company and leave my secure position after
47
a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a
48
that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a
49
to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a
50
?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that
51
I had accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help to become a motivational speaker. A motivational speaker was
52
.
Having made that decision, I was immediately
53
. One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job, and now we had no
54
. But I held fast to my dream. The wonder really began to happen. In a short time my husband found a better job. And I was able to book several
55
engagements with new customers. I discovered the incredible power of dreams.

The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
—— Thomas
Macaulay
About thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nanette O’Neill gave a math 26 to our class. When the papers were 27 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the
28
mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about
29
in exams. Perhaps that was
30
Mrs. O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to
31
after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs. O’Neill asked
32
questions, and she didn’t
33
us, either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the
34
words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 35
I can say: it was the most important single
36 of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they 37 seem to me the best yardstick (准绳 now because they give us a way to
38
ourselves rather than others.
39
of us are asked to make
40
decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called
41
daily to make a great many personal decisions. Should the wallet,
42
in the street, be put into a pocket or
43
to the policeman? Should the
44
change received at the store be forgotten or
45
? Nobody will know except you. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.

When he was a small boy, he had loved butterflies. Now a grown man with his first son to be born in a few weeks, he found
41
once again fascinated with a cocoon(茧).He had
42
it at the side of the park path. Somehow the twig(嫩枝)had been knocked from the tree and the cocoon had
43
undamaged and still woven to the branch.
As he had seen his mother do,he gently protected it by
44
it in his handkerchief and carried it home. The cocoon found a
45
home in a jar with holes in the lid. The man
46
it every day. One day, for the first time,the cocoon moved. He watched more closely and soon the cocoon was trembling with activity but nothing else
47
. The cocoon remained tightly glued to the twig and there was no
48
of wings.
Finally the shaking became so
49
,the man thought the butterfly would die from the
50
.He removed the lid on the jar,took a sharp pen knife from his desk drawer and
51
made a tiny slit(切口)in the side of the cocoon. Almost immediately,one wing appeared and then outstretched the other. The butterfly was
52
!
It seemed to
53
its freedom and walked along the edge of the jar. But it didn’t fly. At first the man thought the
54
needed time to dry but time passed and still the butterfly did not
55
.
The man was worried and called up his neighbor who
56
high school science. He told the neighbor
57
he had found the cocoon,placed it in the mason jar, and the terrible trembling as the butterfly struggled to get out. When he
58
how he had carefully made a small slit in the cocoon,the teacher stopped him, “Oh, that is the

the secret will win a life of rich rewards.”
The oldest son took the bundle in his
22
hands. He was strong,
and he used all of his23
to try to break the reeds, but they would not be broken. Finally he gave up, and his younger brother
24
the challenge. He balanced the reeds across the tabletop and used all of his weight to try to brea the
bundle,
25
it did not break.Finally, he gave up, and the youngest brother took the
26bound twigs in his hands.' He, too,
struggled with all of his strength to snap the bundle into two pieces, but it would not break.
Finally, the father took the bundle from them. He.untied the vine that
27the reeds together.
He then divided the bundle into three
28piles of twigs.¨Now break your twigs into two," he said. Each boy, ne _ 29
, did as his father asked. The task was easy. Each bundle broke with hardly any effort.¨When you divide your work, it is easy an you can

In Florida for Thanksgiving, I was surfing the channel guide for CNN, hoping to find out whether a decision had been reached in the Michael Brown case (the case of a police officer who shot an unarmed teenager Michael Brown on Aug. 9, 2017). I said, looking at the television screen, “I hope they
41
him.”
My mother’s tone pierced (刺破) the
42
. “Why, why would you hope for that?”
I exhaled (吐气), knowing I was about to have
43
uncomfortable conversation with my mother, the retired
44
.
“He was unarmed, ma,” I said to her. “
45
he was a kid.”
To her, even if only for a moment, I was just another asshole (混蛋) on the street. I
46
it in her face, and it was terrible. She said
47
, “You don’t know the whole story, you haven’t seen the evidence. Whether you like it or not, cops are innocent
48
proven guilty too.”
I stayed
49
as she continued.
“And he wasn’t a kid, he was
50
. What if that was me facing Michael Brown? I wouldn’t have
51
a chance.”
My5′8〞mother couldn’t have
52
a 6′4〞man without a weapon. I would want her to pull out her gun and fire until she came home to me because that’s my mom and it’s my job to get crazy when I think of her in
53
.
Just like when I
54
the man who slapped her in face and knocked her to the ground, bile (胆汁) rises in my throat.
This is my lived experience. I
55
in a household where my mother and stepfather wore guns and

; some we could hear, and some
58
in the kitchen. We gathered together at night with my two younger sisters to watch TV as a family: “Rescue 911,” “America’s Most Wanted,” “Law & Order,” all the 90s cops shows. We watched “Picket Fences” until the one

It’s easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so obvious? This story may have happened a while back, but it was a
41
which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.
It was Thanksgiving, and I was
42
with my parents at a shelter for the needy. We were standing behind the counter
43
hot food to whoever came in. Most of our
44
looked like they had been having hard times; their clothes were worn out and dirty.
45
, they looked needy! Then, a man came in, who looked
46
but needy. He was well-dressed, in a(n)
47
suit. I wondered what he was doing there, and my jaw (下巴) dropped in
48
when he joined the line for
49
. The closer he came to my
50
station, the more I muttered (嘀咕) to my self. What was this man doing? I wanted to know. Surely he wasn’t going to take food
51
for those who were really in need!
Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, “You have
52
that the needs of the people who come here must be purely
53
: for food, shelter, clothing, etc. And this gentleman doesn’t seem to have any of those problems.
54
what if his needs are emotional? What if he needs
55
, friends, or just to be among other human beings?” Her words hit me like a ton of bricks! I felt I should
56
to the man — but I didn’t.
About a week later the shelter received a large
57
from an anonymous(匿名的) source. I couldn’t help but
58
if it came from that man.
Now,
59
I meet someone I remember my mother’s lesson and try to keep an open mind, regardless of how they

What is the secret ingredient of tough people that enables them to succeed? Why do they the tough times when others are overcome by them? Why do they win when others lose? Why do they
37
when others sink?
The answer is very simple. It’s all in
38
they perceive their problems. Yes, every living person has problems. A problem-free life is an
39
, or a mirage in the desert. Accept that fact.
Every mountain has a
40
. Every valley has its low point. Life has its ups and downs. No one is up all the time, nor are they down all the time. Problems do end. They are all
41
in time.
You may not be able to control the times, but you can
42
your response. You can turn your pain into cursing, or into
43
. The choice is up to you. You may not have chosen your tough time, but you can choose how you will
44
it.
For instance, what is the positive reaction to a terrible financial
45
? In this situation would it be the positive reaction to cop out and run away?
46
through alcohol, drug, or suicide? No! Such negative reactions only
47
greater problems by promising a
48
solution to the pressing problem.
The positive solution to a problem may require courage to
49
it. When you control your reaction to the
50
un-controllable problem of life, then in fact you do control the problem’s effect on you. Your reaction to the problem is the last word! That’s the bottom line. What will you let this problem do to you? It can make you tender or tough. It can make you better or bitter. It all
51
you.
In the final analysis, the tough people who survive the tough times do so
52
they’ve chosen to react positively to their
53
. Tough times never last, but tough people do. Tough people stick it
54
. History teaches us that every problem has a lifespan. No problem is
55
. Storms always give way to the sun. Winter always thaws into springtime. Your storm will pass. Your winter will defrost. Your problem will be solved.
36. A. suspend
B. suspect
C. survive

A mother learned an unexpected lesson after she took her young daughter to a skatepark(滑板运动场), and she wrote about the experience titled “Dear teenage boy at the skatepark”.
You’re probably about 15 years old, so I don’t expect you to be
21
to a little girl on your skate ramp(滑道) for that matter.
What you don’t know is that I frequently had to
22
her that skateboarding wasn’t
23
for boys. But when we walked up to the skatepark and saw that it was full of teenage boys who were
24
and swearing(诅咒), she immediately wanted to
25
and go home.
I
26
wanted to go back too because I didn’t want to have to put on a mom’s
27
and exchange words with you. I also didn’t want my daughter to feel like she had to be
28
of anyone. So when she said, “Mom, it’s full of
29
boys,” I calmly said, “
30
? They don’t own the skatepark.” She then went down the ramp in spite of you and your friends who were
31
past her.
She only had two or three runs in before you
32
her and said “Hey, excuse me …” I immediately prepared to deliver my “She’s
33
to use this park just as much as you guys”
34
when I heard you say, “Your
35
are wrong. Can I help you?” You spent almost an hour with my daughter showing her how to 36
, and you held her hand and helped her get up when she fell down.
I want you to know that I am proud that you are a member of my community, and I want to thank you for being
37
to my daughter,
38
your friends made fun of you for it.
She left the skatepark with a sense of
39
and with the confidence that she can do
40
, because of you.
21. A. serious B. ashamed C. cautious D. considerate

I was 14 years old. I was angry and rebellious, with
41
regard for anything my parents had to say,
42
if it had nothing to do with me. Like so many
43
, I struggled to escape from anything that didn’t
44
my picture of the world. A “ brilliant without need of guidance” kid, I rejected any obvious
45
of love. In fact, I got angry at the
46
of the word “love”.
One
47
, after an extremely difficult day, I
48
into m room, shut the door loudly and fell down onto my bed heavily. As I lay down in the privacy of my
49
, my hands placed under my pillow. There was an envelope. I pulled it out and on the envelope it said, “To
50
when you’re alone.”
51
I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not. So I opened it. It said,“Mike,I know life is
52
right now, I know you are frustrated and I know we don’t do everything right. I also know that I love you
53
and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you if you ever need to talk. If you don’t, that’s also
54
. Just know that no matter where you go or whatever you do in your life, I will always love you and be
55
that you are my son. I’m here for you and I love you-that will never
56
.love you Mom.”
Every night as I went to bed, I would put my hands under my
57
, and I remember the
58
I felt every time I got a letter. During my teen years, the letters were the calm assurance that I still could be loved
59
my anger and rudeness. Just before I fell
60
I became grateful that my mom knew what I, an angry teenager, needed.

Sandy Greenberg came from a poor family. He went to Columbia University on a scholarship and there he met his roommate who also was receiving financial
41
.
Unfortunately, Sandy had a(n)
42
disease during his second year at Columbia University, and finally he became blind. But
43
for Sandy, something else also happened to him — his roommate would
44
his textbooks to him, every night after he lost his sight.
As a result, Sandy went on to
45
with honors. He went off to study at Oxford. He was still quite poor, but he had managed to
46
about five hundred dollars as he went along.
His roommate
47
went on to graduate school. One day, Sandy got a
48
from him at Oxford. His former roommate said, "Sandy, I'm really
49
. I really don't like being in graduate school, and I don't want to do this."
"Well, what do you want to do? " Sandy
50
.
His roommate told him, "Sandy, I really love to
51
. I have a high school friend who plays the guitar. And we would really like to
52
our hands in the music business. But we need to make a promo record, and in order to
53
that I need $500."
Sandy took all his life savings without
54
and sent it to his roommate. Well, his roommate was the
55
famous singer, Art Garfunkel, and he
56
up with another musician, Paul Simon. That $500
57
them make a record that finally became The Sound of Silence.
How we are able to deal with
58
in our lives will be influenced by how we deal with others
59
the way. What we get will depend a lot on what we
60
. And that's the end of the story of doing well by doing good.

It was in my high school science class. I was doing a task in front of the classroom with my favorite shirt on.
A
41
came. "Nice shirt," I smiled from ear to ear. Then another voice said, "That shirt belonged to my dad. Greg's mother works for my family. We were going to
42
that shirt away, but gave it to her
43
." I was speechless. I wanted to hide.
I
44
my shirt in the back of the closet and told my mom what had happened. She then dialed her

46
was something greater.
The next morning she
47
with the personnel manager at the Board of Education. He told her that without a proper education she could not teach. So Mom decided to

After the first year in college, she went back to the personnel manager. He said, "You are

the children and how they communicate with you and admire your hard-working

That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in
36
for seventeen years, I had no
37
about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my
38
for the literature of my mother tongue.
As I entered the room, I was
39
when the monitor shouted: “Stand up!” The entire class rose, and I was somewhat
40
about how to get them to sit down again. Once that awkwardness was over, I quickly
41
my calmness and began what I thought was an informed lecture, sure to gain their respect — perhaps
42
their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.
I asked my students to keep
43
as homework. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually
44
by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.
45
her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a
46
theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical
47
for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How
48
they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it
49
became clear that my ideas about
50
were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise
51
questions and provide enough background so that students could
52
their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide
53
information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
54 , I benefited a lot, for my experience with my Chinese students has made me a
55
American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.
