第二节  语法填空(共10小题,每题2分,共20分)

仔细阅读下面短文,短文中有10个空格。请按照语境以及括号里的具体要求完成语法填空、词形变化等。答案填写在答题卡标号为16—25的对应位置。

The holiday’s upon us. After months of study, you have some time to yourself. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, ‘Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and 16        media that offer a lot more 17       (colour) programs. Books are history!”

But don’t be fooled. There’s still a lot to be said for reading and reading as widely as possible.

One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection 18       words and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article 19        it is from the TV or the Internet.

But an even more important point is 20        books give you something that modern media simply can not: The webpage is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible.

Though “easy” may be welcome, 21       (luck) it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level. For that, there’s still no substitute(替代品) for a book.

But perhaps the best single reason is that simply 22       (choose) what you read and doing it by yourself 23        (mean) that it’s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It’s hard work, 24        while you are reading, you’ll find that what once 25        (seem) like a duty is now a pleasure.

某网站推出“Who is my angel ?”栏目,以下是有关该栏目中奖者的来信:

A. From Morgan Dunnivan

Hi, I’m 7 years old and my special angel is my mommy. She takes care of me and our house, works with troublesome teens as a volunteer, takes me to gymnastics every week, and works two jobs. My mommy is my best friend and we are angels for each other. She always thinks of others first. I think she should be the Angel among Us winner. Please pick my mommy. It would be a great Christmas gift for her since I can’t buy her a present.

B. From Michael Allen, Greer Uniontown

Whether I am having a good day or in more cases a really bad day, she never seems to fail me, no matter what the circumstances are. Moreover, she’s by far one of my biggest fans. Mom is a really good-hearted person with a beautiful spirit that always shines through even during my darkest days. She definitely earns her angel wings.

C. From Brianna Callahan, Smock

My special angel is my mother. She is there whenever I need her. In my opinion, she deserves the gift. This gift would surely brighten up her day. She is the one who I can count on to help me or have a hot meal ready for dinner. Moms do that but no one really appreciates them as much as they should be. I just want to make her feel special. There may be a lot of special angels out there, but I think my mom is the only special angel in my heart.

D. From Renee Wheeler, Smithfield

We have been blessed with an angel in our family. I don’t even know if she knows the number of lives she has touched. She just goes on with her everyday tasks and never even realizes the wonderful love that flows from her every move. She is known by so many different titles, like, mom, aunt, sister, friend, neighbor, etc.

E. From Nicole Baughman, Smock

My special angel is my daddy. He is always there for me. He is a very hard-working man. And I’m proud of him to be my daddy. He loves me very much. He’s the one who gives us our allowance. He puts food on the table. He is the best daddy in the world. I love him very much. He stands up for us and he cares for all of us. He picks me up because I am still really too short to pick something up.

F. From Sharon Williams, Uniontown

   I met my special angel 32 years ago starting my first job. She trained me as a friend. She introduced me to one of her sons to whom I’ve been married for 20 years. She lovingly raised seven children, and after retiring helped to raise a grandchild who is now in college. Living next door she was always there to help with our two sons, babysitting, fixing them snacks, or teaching them how to make peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
