完形填空

In a class I teach adults.I gave the task to “Go to someone you love, and tell them that you love them.”At the beginning of the next   1  , one of the students began by saying, “I was   2   with you last week when you gave us this   3  .But as I began driving home my conscience(良心)started talking.Then I knew   4   who I needed to say ‘I love you’to.Five years ago, my father and I had a   5   and never really resolved it.We   6   seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at family gatherings.We hardly   7   to each other.So by the time I got home, I had   8   myself I was going to tell my father I loved him.Just   9   that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest.At 5∶30, I was at my parents’house ringing the doorbell, praying that Dad would   10   the door.  11   luck would have it, Dad did answer the door.I didn’t   12   any time-I took one step in the door and said, ‘Dad, I just   13   over to tell you that I love you.’It was as if a change came over my dad.Before my   14   his face softened, the wrinkles(皱纹)seemed to   15   and he began to cry.He   16   out and hugged me and said, ‘I love you too, son, but I’ve never been able to say it.’But that’s not   17   my point.Two days after that visit, my dad had a heart attack and is in the hospital.I don’t even know if he’ll   18   it.So my   19   to all of you is this:Don’t wait to do the things you know need to be done.What if I had waited to tell my dad?Take the   20   to do what you need to and do it now!”

The “Doorman”
On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked toward the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a   36  beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench and opened the door for us.Regardless of his   37 , he greeted us in a friendly way.
Once inside, my daughters whispered, "Mom, he   38   " After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look   39  the dirt.We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many   40  him.Seeing this rudeness truly upset me.The day I became a mother, I had decided to set a good   41  for my children.Yet sometimes when things didn't go right, being a good example was   42   When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the car-sick pills in the truck.With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I   43  myself from the meal and went to get them.
Just then, the "doorman" was opening the door for a couple.They rushed past him without even acknowledging his   44   . Letting them in first, I said a loud "thank you" to him as I 45

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中,选出最佳选项。
A
Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course," she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Morn was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped(缠绕) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted(猛冲) upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend(超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary(遗传的). I prayed to be a balloon.

On the first day of school I brought my camera to school. I gave the students a piece of 8 ×11 cardboard(纸板), and asked them to write their names on both sides. As they finished, I asked them to get into groups of three to four students and took photographs of them holding their name cards.
After school, I developed the film and printed two sets of photos. That evening, I started to match the names with the faces. I kept one set of pictures at home for about a week so that I could review their names each night. On the second day of school, I put up the other set of photos as a bulletin board (公布栏), with a title such as "Presenting Room 108, ..."
The kids loved it! After I had learned all of their names I brought the second set back to school and stuck them onto an 8 ×11 sheet of paper. I placed it in the classroom for other teachers.
The cardboard name cards that were made on the first day were collected and put on a shelf. From time to time, they were given back to the students and placed on their desks so that guests or supply teachers (代课老师) could identify all of the students.
I’ve been doing this with my grade 7 students for the last nine years and they liked it. It’s fun to bring the photos out again at the end of the school year to see how much they have all changed in ten months.
【小题1】The cardboards were used to ______.

A.play some kind of game B.decorate the classroom
C.identify the students D.print the photos on
【小题2】The writer of the passage might be a ______.
A.head teacherB.monitorC.photographerD.supply teacher
【小题3】Why did the writer leave the second set of the photos at home?
A.To memorize the students’ names at home.B.To make cardboard name cards for supply teachers.
C.To make a bulletin board in the classroom.D.To match the students’ names with their faces
【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The students didn’t have to use the cardboard name cards to identify each other.
B.Other teachers couldn’t identify the students without the cardboard name cards.
C.The writer kept the cardboard name cards as a souvenir for nine years.
D.The guests will know the students’ names by reading the cardboard name cards.
【小题5】The passage mainly tells us ______.
A.a method of identifying studentsB.a method of decorating classrooms
C.the development of photographyD.the importance of cardboard name cards
