  Two weeks before Christmas, mother told me we were going to my grandmother’s house for the holiday.Grandma and Uncle Henry lived on a farm some 15 miles out of town.They had no electricity or running water and   1   what I considered the “good things” in life.They   2   made no plans for Christmas.When Christmas Eve arrived, mom told me in her best “I-mean-it” voice to   3   all the decorations(装饰物)from our tree.She packed those up,   4   all the trimmings(材料)for a   5   turkey dinner.

  Christmas morning   6   perfectly, with the sun shining brightly across a fresh blanket of snow.  7   I sulked(生气)silently in the backseat of the car as we made our   8   to grandma’s.This was going to be the   9   Christmas ever!

  Grandma was   10   to see us as we walked up to her door.“What on earth are you doing here?” she stammered.“We weren’t expecting   11  .It’s Christmas, and I don’t even have a turkey to cook for you.”“I knew   12  ,”Mom said as we set boxes of goodies on the kitchen table.“That’s   13   we brought one with us.”“We   14   have a tree,” Mom insisted.“  15  , what will we do with all these decorations?”

  Uncle Henry quickly caught mom’s spirit.He called me to join him, and we found a perfect Christmas tree in the woods.Soon the house   16   fresh and piney as we decorated the tree, and the day   17   a festive air.The turkey dinner was very good, too.I was actually beginning to enjoy this unusual Christmas Day!

Dessert was forgotten   18   mom came out with the final surprise-a flaming(燃烧的)pudding!“Merry Christmas, mother,” Mom said.“Dear me!” Grandma gasped.“I haven’t seen a flaming pudding since I left England before I was married.”Tears of   19   filled her eyes.

  I could not keep the tears   20   my eyes, either.I knew then that mom had also given me the best Christmas present ever-she had taught me what a beautiful thing it is to give.

(1)

根据上半句的“have no electricity or running water”得知,此处缺少(lack)“我”认为的好东西。

(5)

complete“完整的”。

(6)

dawn“(天)刚亮;开始出现”。

(8)

make one’s way to“去往……的路上”。

(9)

前文提到I sulked(生气)所以作者认为这可能是最不好的(worst)圣诞节。

(10)

根据下文“What on earth are you doing here?” she stammered.(她结结巴巴地说:“你们到底在干什么?”)我们可以推知grandma对我们的到来感到非常吃惊。be surprised to do sth.“吃惊地做某事”。

(11)

我们没想到会有人来。

(12)

that代指“we were not expecting anyone…to cook for you”。

(13)

That’s why…“那就是为什么我们……”。

(14)

(过圣诞节)我们必须有一棵(圣诞)树。

(15)

otherwise“否则”。

(16)

smell“闻起来”。

(17)

take on“呈现……气氛/气象”。

(18)

until“直到……为止”。

(19)

根据文中意思判定grandma很高兴,因此为tears of joy。

(20)

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be   1  to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2  wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负)others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right   3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4 .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be   5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is   6  acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into  7 .

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know   8  what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is   9  to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and   10  be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.

Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

1.                A.kind           B.sensitive        C.fair  D.generous

 

2.                A.equally         B.slightly         C.clearly   D.increasingly

 

3.                A.suggestions      B.conclusion      C.turns D.choices

 

4.                A.accidents       B.mistakes        C.falls  D.deaths

 

5.                A.interesting      B.vital (重要的)     C.easy D.valuable

Finally, I felt my     31      at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what    32      me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house    33      did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and   34      asked him to leave me alone.

Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago,   35    I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed.

Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me     38     so important?

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health,or advice about how to behave and   33  yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ,leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title.Therefore,the scissors would stay before they start,    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your   39   .You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be   39   up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind.Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad.How come nice    42  and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   43    greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other.

In fact that is what   44   is like;we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  46    like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another.The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s   49 :“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不经意的)    50   may not be a bad one.
