I never thought about the dangers of growing up during
the war because I was only six then. My parents were 36 and
both were busy with their work at a hospital. I was often left in the care of
my grandmother. Grandma gave Aunt Tracy and I the 37 of
taking lunch to my grandfather, her estranged (分居的) husband, who lived 38
in an apartment at the other side of the village.
As usual, 39 we left,
Grandma repeated, "There may be war at any time, so stay on the side of
the road. Be 40 not to spill (溢出) the food." Aunt Tracy and I 41
the lunch box and hurried to Grandpa’s place.
"Keep down and take cover!"
Tracy cried out as we heard some 42 . As we squatted (蹲) at the roadside, I started to feel
43 . Grandpa preferred his food served 44 . If we
couldn’t get there on time, his lunch would turn cold! Not wanting the war to
slow us down, I said, "Let’s just run for it!"
We tried all the ways we could think of to
cross the road, but 45 seemed to work. Suddenly Tracy said,
"Bullets travel in a straight line, so we can run in a zigzag (之字形)."Taking a deep breath, we
set off again and ran wildly back and forth across the road., 46 we
managed to reach Grandpa’s apartment.
As an adult, I now know what my young mind
couldn’t understand then: it’s impossible to go through life without 47
. We may come across difficulties in our life, but we need to be brave,
face the problem and carry on.

点评：由于完形填空的文章是一个意义相关联的语篇，围绕一个话题论述，因此在行文中词语的重复、替代、复现和同现现象是不可避免的。根据这个原则，某一个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现或同现的相关词，考生可以根据这些词之间的有机联系来确定答案。所以，解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。
Nothing says love like a dozen long – stemmed roses on Valentine’s Day. More than a million roses will be sold during this festival for lovers, the biggest day of the year for the nation’s rose industry. It’s going to remain the most popular flower because love never goes out of style.
Yes, a rose is a rose is a rose. But selling them is no longer a beautiful experience for traditional flower shops. Supermarkets now offer convenience to the busy and discount rose shops help those hopelessly in love save money. Roses only is a good example of a discount rose retailer that was transformed from a traditional shop to answer the challenge in the’ 90s.
Inside this store on Sixth Avenue near 40 th Street, contemporary white furniture and wall – to – wall mirrors give it an expensive look. Customers move about freely among the counters, looking eagerly at the roses in more than 50 colors from shelf to shelf. Some customers say it’s the high quality of the roses that attracts them there. “I spent $ 20 but the flowers looked like I paid 60 or 70 dollars,” says one customer.
Studies show more people are buying roses in ones, two and threes these days. In fact, more than half of all roses are sold in bunches of fewer than a dozen. But Roses Only's low prices encourage people to spend. Even on Valentine's Day, when the price of a dozen roses and delivery can soar as high as $150, 12 of Roses Only's most expensive flowers sell for just $35. The company's key to success is to hold prices down by controlling every link in the rose chain. It grows its own roses in the sunshine of the Andes Mountains. In addition, the company also sells other items such as ballons and stuffed animals.
While discount rose retailers are witnessing their business bloom, U.S. rose growers aren’t able to compete with the fierce foreign competition. More than 57% of roses sold in the USA are grown in other countries. The biggest foreign producers are Colombia and Ecuador, which accounted for almost 90% of the total imported last year. The trend has hurt domestic rose growers such as Johnson Flowers of California, considered to be this country's leading producer.
Now, instead of fighting overseas rivals, the Johnsons are trying to work with them. "We have a few big fighting overseas rivals, the Johnsons are trying to work with them. “We may also widen our business to include the service area and be a representative for overseas flower producers.”
As a result of severe competition, those in the rose business long for the good old days, whereas ordinary people benefit from the low price.
