　　In my early childhood, my parents and teachers taught me to be persistent(执着的)in every task I devoted myself to. I was　1　that persistence is the only way towards success. But a small　2　made me change my mind.

　　One day my two-year-old son, 　3　at a dozen of“stood”color marker-pens, cheered excitedly, “Mummy, look! I did it. ”Afterwards, he collected some ballpoint pens, 　4　to do the same. Hard though he tried, the ballpoint pens just lay　5　. He turned to me for help. Noticing they had either sharp or round ends, I said　6　, “Mummy can’t help you. ”To my surprise, he wouldn’t listen and continued trying. . . I was dumbfounded by his persistence.

　　My son’s behaviour reminded me of George who was always　7　in his work and rarely talked to anyone. To him, 　8　, there was no such thing called weekends or holidays. Our boss praised　9　about him and　10　us to look up to him as a role model.

　　One day I met George. “Gonna work late again tonight? ”

　　“Probably I can’t leave till midnight, ”he said.

　　“How many hours have you put in here each week, eighty or ninety? ”

　　“　11　. ”

　　“Don’t you have time to be with your family at all? ”

　　He shook his head slowly and　12　a sigh. “It’s not what I wanted. But I have worked on it for so long. It’s much too　13　to even think about letting go. ”

　　A year later I resigned. The　14　thing I heard about him was that his wife divorced him. Since then I’ve never seen him. But occasionally his aged　15　would come to my mind.

　　Until that day, 　16　knowing why the ballpoint pens couldn’t stand up, the two-year-old son had　17　the impossibility after many failures. He put aside all the ballpoint pens and kept only those marker-pens for his“game”. 　18　, he already learned to let go of his previous　19　attempts.

　　In our daily life, many headaches can be avoided if we know how to　20　them and then decisively let them go immediately.

　　【文章大意】作者自小就被父母和老师教育: 做任何事都要执着, 但一次两岁的儿子试图将圆珠笔竖起来, 结果却没能成功, 这让她想起一个名叫George的朋友, 他是个工作狂, 心中只有工作, 没有家人, 结果妻子与他离婚。这让作者意识到生活中有许多自己不能做的事, 该放手时就放手, 这样生活才能有乐趣。作者欣慰地看到自己的儿子在玩笔的游戏中已经学会了这一点。

　　1. A. confident B. consistent

　　C. conscious

　　D. convinced

　　【解析】选D。前后照应题。因为小时候, 父母和老师教育“我”做每件事时都要执着。所以“我”一直相信(I was convinced)执着是成功的唯一途径。

　　2. A. event B. incident

　　C. accident

　　D. affair

　　【解析】选B。词义辨析题。event多指重要、有意义的大事件; incident指平常小事; accident指意外事故; affair泛指事件, 事务。此处语境指儿子玩记号笔, 应为平常小事。

　　3. A. pointing B. shouting

　　B. silent

　　C. still

　　D. quiet

　　【解析】选A。背景知识题。根据Hard though he tried(尽管他费了很大的劲试着将圆珠笔竖起来)可知结果没有成功, 圆珠笔仍然没有竖起来。因为这些圆珠笔要么是尖头, 要么是圆头。lie flat意思是“平躺着”。

　　6. A. deliberately B. casually

　　C. unintentionally

　　D. enthusiastically

　　【解析】选B。前后照应题。看到这些圆珠笔要么是尖头要么是圆头, 我不加考虑地(casually)说: “妈妈帮不了你。”但儿子不听, 继续坚持做下去。

　　7. A. interested B. busy

　　C. devoted

　　D. buried

　　【解析】选D。前后照应题。be buried in his work专心致志地忙于他的工作。这由后文的“他很少和任何人讲话”可知。

　　8. A. therefore B. however

　　C. otherwise

　　D. though

　　【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。因为他总是忙于自己的工作, 因此(therefore)对他来说没有周末或假日这样的概念。

　　9. A. high B. highly

　　D. much

　　【解析】选B。固定搭配题。因为他一心扑在工作上, 所以老板对他高度赞扬。

　　10. A. promised B. demanded

　　11. A. At random B. At times

　　D. At least

　　【解析】选D。前后照应题。因为作者的朋友George是个工作狂, 所以每周至少工作80或90小时。

　　12. A. let off B. let out

　　C. sent off

　　D. sent out

　　【解析】选B。前后照应题。根据shook his head slowly(慢慢摇头)可知此处他发出(let out)一声叹息。

　　13. A. encouraging B. comfortable

　　C. painful

　　D. ashamed

　　【解析】选C。前后照应题。根据George讲的话可知“他心中只有工作, 没有家人”, 所以“他认为即使想(在工作方面)放手也是很痛苦的(painful)”。

　　14. A. latter B. later

　　C. last

　　D. lately

　　【解析】选C。前后照应题。根据后面一句“Since then I’ve never seen him. ”可知此空填last, 说明“这是我听到有关他的最后一件事”。

　　15. A. picture B. figure

　　C. reflection

　　D. image

　　【解析】选D。前后照应题。根据come to my mind可知此处选image。虽然后来我再也没见到过他, 但他年迈的形象还会出现在我的脑海中。

　　16. A. for B. with

　　C. without

　　D. besides

　　【解析】选C。前后照应题。直到那一天, 我两岁的儿子虽然并不知道为何圆珠笔竖不起来, 但是在多次失败后学会了接受这种不可能。

　　17. A. received B. accepted

　　C. refused

　　D. rejected

　　D. Obviously

　　【解析】选D。前后照应题。儿子将不能竖起来的圆珠笔放在一边, 只留下可以站起来的记号笔用来玩游戏。很明显(obviously), 他已经学会了对以前无用的(useless)尝试选择放弃。

　　19. A. useless B. endless

　　C. hopeful

　　D. meaningful

　　【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。上文中的many failures已提示, 可推知他做了一些无用的尝试。useless无用的。

　　20. A. clarify B. distinguish

　　C. identify

　　D. acknowledge

　　【解析】选C。前后照应题。在我们的日常生活中, 很多令人头疼的事是可以避免的, 只要我们知道如何鉴别(identify)它们并果断地做出放弃的决定。

　　My son Joey was born with club feet(天生特厚的畸形脚). The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk

　　He

　　to run four to five miles a day, every day —even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was

　　49

　　, so I went to look for him after school. I found him

　　50

　　all alone. I asked him how he felt. “Okay,” he said. He had two more

　　51

　　to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever.

　　52

　　he looked straight ahead and kept running.

　　Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were

　　53

　　. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in

　　54

　　grade —the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn’t

　　One cold night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco．There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a

　　36

　　practice at the theatre With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having

　　37

　　handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about

　　38

　　both acting and San Francisco. I had

　　39

　　too much of city life.

　　As I walked down the

　　40

　　streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began

　　41

　　both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out

　　42

　　a few homeless people under blankets.

　　About a block from my

　　43

　　, I heard a sound behind me. I

　　44

　　quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me

　　45

　　so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I

　　46

　　what the noise had been. It had been my wallet

　　47

　　to the sidewalk.

　　Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk

　　48

　　for 15 minutes, my wallet was

　　49

　　to be found.

　　Just as I was about to quit the

　　50

　　, I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to

　　51

　　. When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an

　　52

　　look in his eyes. “Is this

　　53

　　you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up something like a wallet.

　　It was already 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I couldn’t get much sleep, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some

　　54

　　of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place

　　55

　　people were willing to help each other.

　　【2017届·广东省湛江一中高三10月模拟考试】完形填空

　　阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1~15各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　The aim of writing a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state

　　1

　　the job you want，and should tell what your abilities are and what you have . It should be simple，human，personal and brief without out any necessary fact.

　　In writing a letter of application，bear in mind that the things a possible employer is most

　　to want to know about are your qualifications，your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. If the first few sentences fail to

　　the reader’s attention，the rest of the letter may not be

　　at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not to your own need or desires. For example，instead of beginning with “I saw your in today’s paper.” You might say, “I have made a careful study of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives

　　8

　　your product and why they like it.”

　　Try to

　　9

　　generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now

　　10

　　. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I

　　11

　　in a letter？Employers want experience，which，naturally，no

　　1has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is

　　13

　　. It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.

　　14

　　a specific request for an interview of giving the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent

　　15

　　is to enclose a stamped，self­addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

　　1．A. clearly

　　B．carefully

　　C．obviously

　　D．easily

　　2．A. found

　　B．done

　　C．known
