I sat in the all-too-quiet waiting room of the cancer center, counting the minutes until my treatment. I thought I'd  36  it two years ago, but it was back. After my   37    diagnosis, Nom and Dad had driven more than l,200 miles from their home to be with me for three  38  while I was getting over from   39   and chemotherapy(化疗). When the cancer returned last, they, once again,   40    it here , too. They waited for hours while I received my treatments------Dad with his   41   and Mom with a magazine.

But now, they were   42   in Westlake.

My children are  43   and my four brothers live far from my home outside Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania.  I knew    44  of them would come if  asked, but I didn't want to  45   them,even with the intense    46  I felt.

I   47   picked one of the magazines on the end table beside me and couldn't help  wishing my  48   were there inside. One publication caught my   49  , a magazine I liked best and had   50    to ages ago. I couldn't tell you the last time when I'd read an issue. I   51   it up and I started right in with the letters to the   52  .

"I love  53   my copy every month," the first letter began. The author mentioned a daughter who  54    in Clinton, Pennsylvania. Huh, that's funny. I thought. That's my town! I read the letter to the end, where my    55   fell upon the author's signature:

"Thank you, Margie and Tom Parrish, Westlake, Louisiana"

Alone? Hardly. Margie and Tom-or as I call them, Mom and Dad-were right beside me,even now.

【解析】

试题分析:文章作者回忆了两年前得癌症住院期间父母陪伴左右,两年发现癌症病状最后又犯了,本以为孤身一人对抗疾病的时候,偶然从一本杂志获悉父母一直关注着她,从而感受到父母无微不至的爱的故事。

1.上下文串联。A治疗B战胜,击败C感染D做手术,操作。根据下文 but it was back说明我原本以为两年前我战胜了疾病。

2.上下文串联。从下文When the cancer returned last, they, once again可知此处是指两年前的第一次诊断。

3.上下文串联及常识。下文中提到手术及化疗,根据常识应该是三个月,而不是三天,三年,或三小时。

4.上下文串联。此处应和and后面的 chemotherapy(化疗)一词构成并列关系,故选D(手术)。

5.固定搭配。make it 意思是及时到达。It在此是虚指,无实义。上文提到两年前得癌症住院期间父母陪伴左右,根据once again说明当癌症病状最后又犯了,再一次,他们及时到达医院。           

6.上下文串联。从上文They waited for hours,可推断父母是拿着可以打发时间的东西,结合下文Mom with a magazine,故填Bible(圣经),其它几项均不合句意。

 7.上下文串联。上文作者回忆了手术住院时父母陪在身边,再根据转折信息词But now,说明父母回老家了。

8.上下文逻辑推理。下文提到只要我开口要求,他们(我的孩子们和我的四个兄弟)都会来医院(照看我)”,可以推断作者的孩子们已经长大成人。故选full-grown,已长成的,成熟的。

9.上文提到孩子们和我的四个兄弟。故首先排除CD。再结合转折连词but可得知此处指他们当中任何人都会来医院(照看我),只要我开口要求。故选A

10.上下文串联。从转折连词but 结合上文句意可知此处是指我不想麻烦他们。

11.上下文串联。从文中可知父母回到了westlake,又不想麻烦孩子和兄弟们,作者孤身一个人呆在医院,所以有着强烈的孤独感(loneliness),而B. pride自豪C. happiness快乐,幸福D. anger生气均不合语境。

12.上下文串联。从文中可知父母回到了westlake,作者孤身一个人呆在医院,因为百无聊赖,所以信手拿起一本杂志来看。A 半心半意地,符合语境。

13.上下文串联。上文作者回忆了癌症手术住院,化疗时父母陪在身边,而现在自己独自一人,所以看杂志时,情不自禁的希望看到父母在里面。

14.固定搭配。catch one’s eyes/attention吸引某人的眼球/注意力。而 A想法,思想;B头脑,心思;D手均不符合语境。

15.上下文串联。从上文a magazine I liked best及下文I couldn't tell you the last time when I'd read an issue(我记不得最后一次读期刊是什么时候)可得知作者已经订阅此杂志很多年了。

16.上文提到”一本订阅过多年的最喜爱的杂志吸引了我的注意”,所以“我拿起文章来看。”故选B. pick up拿起,捡起;而A举起;张贴,为...提供食宿;C建立D拆散,分解。不合句意。

17.上下文串联及常识。根据下文语境,是指杂志上一位读者写的信,当然是写给“编辑”的一封信。故选A编辑。BCD均不符合逻辑。

18.上文提及该本杂志是作者最喜爱的,可推断父母订阅了该杂志,因而父母在信上说’喜欢每个月收到一本/册杂志(copy)。体现了父母“托物思人”的挚爱深情。

19.上下文串联。从下文That's my town结合地点名词Clinton, Pennsylvania说明此处是指写信的人提及有个女儿住在Clinton, Pennsylvania。

20. 标志词法。从下文中signature(署名)可推断出是与“看”有关。故选gaze凝视,注视,盯。而B触觉C想法,思想;D意识均与“看”无关。句意:我读完这封信,在结尾处我看到了作者的署名。

考点:人生百味类记叙文。

Entrants(参加者)were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣诞老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(奖励) the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

     Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then    41    the phone to me. I didn’t    42    the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a    43    connection to Santa, that was important.

     I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had    44    the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had    45    a wall with crayons(蜡笔). Even I knew that this was not the kind of    46    that Santa would approve.

     Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone(语气)of    47   , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I    48    that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.

     I    49    down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime(罪行)had not    50    unpunished. Santa would    51    know that I’d been bad!

     It turned out that I did get a    52    present from the radio station and its sponsor(赞助商). And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a    53    mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not    54    a piece of coal(煤).

     I wonder what Santa has in    55    for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鲸鱼)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(无知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(权威). To earn my respect, you have to be smart or  55   . I’ll never respect you just because you happen to be in charge or have a degree.
