题目内容
Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson that little things still mean a lot. I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I started my car and I 1 down at the roadside, a piece of paper caught my eye. I picked it up and 2 it carefully.
The form turned out to be a 3 from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’ 4 of their vehicle’s registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their 5 and figured：no one would throw this out, 6 if it was current.
Although the form had been blown here, where in the busy, 7 parking lot would I find the owner? So I checked the date and noted the name of the 8 , who must be in our town. I thought that the best and easiest step to 9 was to put the form in an envelope addressed to the couple and 10 it by post. So I did it.
On the weekend, a 11 couple called at my house and brought me a big 12 . They said they had panicked and searched for the receipt(收据) 13 everywhere before giving up. Without it they would 14 $8, 000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone 15 a major trouble by doing something which at first glance seemed minor.

考点：记叙性文章
点评：本文讲述了作者在准备开车时，意外发现路边有一张不起眼的纸条，结果是一张州电动车营业部开出的一张发票，发票上记录着车主电动车上户所交的费用。后来，一对夫妇找上门核实和认领了该张票据。作者认为，一个不经意间小小的举动也可能给别人带去很大的帮助，同时呼吁我们要对眼前的小事多加留意，注意细节。解答记叙文体的完形填空时， 应着重把握以下几点：
1、了解文章的结构形式。
2、明确作者的写作目的。就事论事肯定不是记叙的目的，而通过叙述阐明一个道理，同是作者必须考虑的。只有心中有了目的，在情节选择和细节描写上才会作出合理的安排。明晰了写作目的，就能抓住文章的主题。
3、知晓文章所记叙的一件事的起因、经过和结局，作者就有必要在记叙文中将事件、人物、时间、地点、原因(why)和结果等要素讲清楚。这六个要素是记叙文的基本组成部分，一般不能缺少。弄清了这六个要素，基本上就理解了整篇文章。
4、弄清文章是以第几人称的视角展开记叙的。通常英语记叙文展开记叙的视角有两个：
第一人称和第三人称。用第一人称就是从“参与者”的角度进行记叙，读者可从字里行间感受到作者亲切的态度和深厚的感情。用第三人称就是以“观察者”的身份展开叙述，作者的语气客观，与读者保持着一定的距离，读者的注意力更多集中在故事本身。了解了作者的写作角度有助于我们走进作者的思维，深入理解文章的意义。

My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the 36 of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then 37 the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on 38 his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he 39 belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be 40 , I didn’t think much of it, but I had 41 to warn my neighbors of the drawings 42 appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the 43 to do so, because I was a little busy recently.
On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I 44 Mary, my elderly neighbor, 45 at her mail box. She said, “Jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?” I was at once 46 , “Oh yes, Mary, it is. I’m sorry. I meant to tell you…” She cut me off, “Jodie, I just love his mail. I’ve 47 every item he has sent. You don’t know how much 48 the letters has made my day. I just love them.” While I was walking down to school after our 49 , many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days, 50 she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small 51 of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought 52 to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should 53 this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most 54 make their day.
It’s doing the little, simple things that can often make a big 55 in someone’s life.

China has become Volvo's third largest market, with more of its car models to go on sale in the world's largest auto（汽车） market this year, Chief Executive Office (CEO) of Volvo Cars China said in Tianjin.
Alexander Klose, CEO of Volvo Cars China, told Xinhua at the Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show, being held from Friday to Wednesday.
Klose said Volvo Cars had entered a new time of fast development, adding that its sales volume in China roared in 2010.
Up to the end of September, Volvo's global sales volume was up 12.5 percent year on year（同年比）, compared with 52 percent year-on-year rise in China, he said.
Two new Volvo sales centers opened in Beijing within merely one week in early October, about two months after east China's ZhejiangGeely Holding Group Co acquired（购得）the Swedish brand from the US auto giant Ford for $1.5 billion in early August.
Klose said he was confident of seeing tremendous(巨大的) growth in China's auto market in the next five years. "As the Chinese government has increased the tax rate for large displacement （排量）cars already, we now have a lot of cars below three liters（升）, and I think we'll stick to that strategy, as you can see now the XC60 which was introduced today is just two liters," he said.
"As the technology advances, we'll probably even see 1.6 liter engines or 1.5 liter engines in the future," he added.
Volvo Cars is not the only automaker hoping to take advantage of China's rapidly growing auto market.
Bentley, the famous British luxury（豪华） carmaker, will open a new sales center in China at Tianjin Thursday, which is the 11th one in China, according to a press release（新闻发布） by Shanghai-based Zenith Integrated Communications Corp (Zenith) Saturday at the auto show.
Zenth is the public relations agent of Bentley in China. The automaker has sold 421 limousines（大型豪华轿车） to China in 2009, and the goal for 2010 is 777, the release said.
【小题1】The word underlined in the third paragraph would probably be___.
| A．shouted loudly | B．increased in large numbers |
| C．reduced rapidly | D．burned brightly |
| A．The Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show was held from Friday to Wednesday. |
| B．Volvo Cars is a world-famous carmaker in Britain. |
| C．Of all the auto sales volume Volvo sales volume is only number one in China |
| D．Volvo sales centers are developing very fast in China recently |
| A．China Becomes Volvo's 3rd largest market |
| B．Volvo Cars in China |
| C．Volvo Sales Volume in China |
| D．Carmakers in China |
| A．One | B．Two | C．Three | D．Four |
