　　(2017·海口市调测)

　　Before I spoke to his school, Matt was waiting for me. He sat in his wheelchair unable to move. As soon as he saw me he started smiling. He could not talk but his laugh melted the hearts of everyone walking by.

　　One of the teachers told me that he was actually very smart. He just could not control his muscles due to a childhood disease. He was happy and very popular at his school—his parents' love and encouragement made all the difference. On the contrary, at a book signing session, I met a girl by the name of Anne. She walked up with her mom with a bright smile. Anne asked about my book with a slur in her speech indicating a slight head injury. I told her about it and she smiled the whole time and asked me to sign one for her. I did.

　　Five minutes later, I heard a voice from Anne's father, “You know you will not understand the book. You aren't smart enough.” He said it so loudly that people were staring in their direction. She was absolutely crushed and her bright smile was now replaced with a look of total despair(绝望). He brought the book back to me and asked me to take it back. I asked him if he would allow me to purchase the book for Anne. He said no with a heartless response. I thought back to Matt. He could not speak, walk, run or play but was actually very happy and even doing well in school because of the love and encouragement of his parents. Anne, on the other hand, had a slight learning problem and may never know happiness or success because of a serious and disapproving father.

　　What kind of parent are you? The truth is that whatever you are telling your kids makes the difference between their success and failure in life.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。通过对两个孩子的对比，作者告诫父母在爱和鼓励中长大的孩子能战胜一切困难并获得幸福，而在批评指责中长大的孩子体会不到成功的喜悦和生活的乐趣。

　　1．According to the author, Matt's happy life mainly lies in ________.

　　A．the teachers' help

　　B．the author's appreciation

　　C．his parents' support and encouragement

　　D．the friendly attitude of all the people around

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“He was happy and very popular at his school—his parents' love and encouragement made all the difference.”可知，他的快乐来源于父母的爱和鼓励。故选C。

　　2．The author wanted to buy the book for Anne in order to ______.

　　A．show how generous she was

　　B．help her to improve her reading ability

　　C．teach the father how to educate children

　　D．save her from feeling uncomfortable

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据第二、三段内容可知，Anne想买这本书，但父亲的话打击了她，让她感到伤心绝望。作者想给她鼓励，所以主动提出给她买书。故选D。

　　3．What can we infer from the conditions of the two children?

　　A．They need more people to help them.

　　B．What parents do plays an important part in their success.

　　C．They are suffering different difficulties to some extent.

　　D．The children with disability are well worth sympathizing.

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据文章最后一句及文中对两个孩子的对比可知，孩子成功和幸福与否和父母对待他们的方式有很大关系。如同Matt一样，即使身有残疾，但只要有父母的爱和鼓励，一样可以获得成功和幸福。故选B。

　　D．quarreled

　　答案：B　这就是西蒙变化的转折点。他坐得更直了，注意力更集中了，微笑更多了，变得快乐了。与 sit up straighter, pay more attention，become happy并列的只能是smile，而非sleep(睡觉)，shout(大声喊), quarrel(吵架)，故B项正确。

　　17．A．intended

　　B．pretended

　　C．refused

　　D．happened

　　答案：D　前面提到，我让詹妮说话大点声，因为坐在后面的同学听不见，而恰好西蒙就是坐在最后一排的最后一名同学。happen to be碰巧是，符合语境。

　　(2017·贵州省六校联盟第二次联考)

　　Alfred Alder, a famous psychiatrist, had __1__ interesting experience. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic(算术). His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents __2__ she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isn't __3__ too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic？” He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, __4__(feel) that it was useless to try, and that he was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.

　　One day he became very angry at the teacher and the other students because they laughed when he said he saw how to do a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve.

　　Adler succeeded

　　__5__

　　solving the problem. This gave him __6__(confident). He rejected the idea that he could not do arithmetic and was

　　__7__(determine) to show them that he could. His anger and his new found faith stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became __8__(extraordinary) good at arithmetic. He not only proved that he can do arithmetic, but he learned early in life from his own experience，__9__ a person goes at a job __10__

　　determination and purpose, he may astonish himself as well as others by his ability.

　　文章大意：本文叙述了著名的精神病专家Alfred Alder的一次经历。他从小被他的老师认为是学不好的人，可有一次，他解决了其他的人都解决不了的问题，从此，他自己有了自信，再加上他的决心，使他认识到：人只要有信心和决心就能成功。

　　答案：

　　1．an　experience在此意为“经历”，是可数名词，在此表泛指，所以填不定冠词；interesting是以元音音素开头的，所以填an。

　　2．what　宾语从句中thought缺少宾语，所以填连接词what。

　　3．it　it指代that Alfred can't do arithmetic。

　　4．feeling　feel与句子主语he构成逻辑上的主谓关系。所以用其­ing形式。

　　5．in　succeed in doing sth.“成功做成某事”。

　　6．confidence　这给了他自信。confidence“自信，自信心”。

　　7．determined　be determined to do“下定决心做某事”。

　　8．extraordinarily　修饰形容词good用副词形式。

　　9．if　如果一个人有毅力和目标去做一项工作，那么他一定会让自己和他人都会大吃一惊的。if表示条件。

　　10．with　with表示拥有，带有。
