Gift from a stranger
My local supermarket is always busy. The first parking space I found was convenient, but I'd noticed a woman in a blue car circling for a while. I was in a good mood, I let her have it. On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot—it was a tight fit.
Pretty soon I'd made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air. Feeling good, I (empty) my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse park（倒车）.
Just as I approached my car, 1 saw the woman I'd let have my car space earlier. She was giving me odd look—half puzzled, half intent (热切的). I smiled and wished her a pleasant day. As I squeezed back into my car, I spotted the same lady (look) in at me. "Hello," she said, hesitantly. "This sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mother's things off at the charity bins.” You are just so much her.” You helped those people, I noticed, and you seemed so happy.” She looked at me meaningfully and passed a box in through the window. “I think she would like you to have it.” (shock), I took it from her automatically. She smiled and walked away.
After a pause, I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful gold necklace with a large grey pearl. It was (nice) gift I'd ever received, and it was from a complete stranger. The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.
【答案】As/Because/Since；emptied；an；looking；might/may；like；Shocked；the nicest
【解析】
1.小题1】根据句子成分分析，句子有两个谓语（was 和let ),其中let sb do sth 是固定用法，所以得出所填空格为连词。根据划线部分后的句意“我心情很好，我让她用这个”分析，前后句子构成一种因果的关系，所以答案为Because。又因为As和since作为连词时也可以表示因为，所以答案也可以是As 和Since。此外，也要注意大写首字母。
2.根 据句子结构分析，空格前面的I是主语，划线部分填写的是谓语的形式。根据句意“心情很好，我清空了钱包的零钱给一个无家可归的男士以及帮助了一个女士倒 车”以及中间的连词and后面的谓语helped，可以知道该空填的是一般过去式，又由于empty单词最后一个字母y，要进行变化，所以答案是 emptied.
3.本句的句意是她给了我一个奇怪的表情，一半困惑，一半热切。根据句子的结构形式分析：破折号后面是一个解释说明的作用。结合划线部分后面是一个形容词加名词的情况，可以知道该空，应该是填写冠词。又由于形容词odd是以元音开头，所以答案是an.
4.】该句前面As I squeezed back into my car是一个状语从句，根据句子成分分析，主句已经有了谓语形式saw,所以判断空格应该是一个非谓语的形式。由于see有一个用法是see sb doing,用于看到正在进行的事情。结合句意“当我倒车的时候，我看到同样这个女性在看着我”，综合可以得出答案。
5.本题难度较大；细心观察分析可以看到本句（This (29) _____sound crazy）中sound为原形，后面所使用的谓语形式是过去式was，那么可以判断该空应该是填写情态动词。在这里面是表示一种可能的猜测而且可能性不大，所以答案是might/may
6.分析该空的句子结构，You为主语 are为系动词，just so much为状语，me为宾语，可以得知，划线部分应该是填一个介词，构成主+be+介词+宾语的结构。根据句意，你和她非常的像。可以知道该空的答案是like.
7.划线部分后接逗号，单独一个词作状语。该词在句中能作状语修饰谓语动词或整个句子，根据句意“非常震惊，我自动从她手中接过。”由于是用于指我震惊，所以用词是ed结尾，另外，shocked分词的形式是作为形容词，它常用作状语。
8.根据划线部分后的表达“gift I'd ever received”,意为我曾经收到的礼物。其中隐含的一个意思就是收到礼物中最好的一个，隐含一个最高级。整一个句子的意思是，这是我收到的最好的一个礼物。另外最高级的形容词前面还需要一个the，所以答案是the nicest.

请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意: 请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 每个空格只填一个单词。
People select news in expectation of a reward. This reward may be either of two kinds. One is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle, the other to what he calls the Reality Principle. For want of better names, we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward.
In general, the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news of crime and corruption, accidents and disasters, sports, social events, and human interest. Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs, economic matters, social problems, science, education, and health.
News of the first kind pays its rewards at once. A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or stresses involved. He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder, shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane, identify himself with the winning team, laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.
News of the second kind, however, pays its rewards later. It sometimes requires the reader to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance — as, for example, when he reads of the threatening foreign situation, the mounting national debt, rising taxes, falling market, scarce housing, and cancer. It has a kind of “threat value.” It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared. When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind, he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.
For any individual, of course, the boundaries of these two classes are not stable. For example, a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem, rather than for its immediate reward. A coach may read a sports story for its threat value: he may have to play that team next week. A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting, not for its delayed reward, but very much as his wife reads an account of a party. In any given story of corruption or disaster, a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience, but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness. Therefore, while the division of categories holds in general, an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another, or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward.
