本文是记叙文。“我”两次车祸,医生说他们可以让“我”像正常人一样行走,但是“我”不能跑了。在这样 的情况下,“我”仍然顽强、意志坚定地锻炼自己。“我”有了参加马拉松长跑的想法,结果“我”的努力得到了回报,“我”终于实现了自己的梦想。
1.B 联系前文的senseless from the waist down以及空格后的a back support,我们知道,在“我”腰部以下失去知觉 后,“我”四年的时间里都戴着背部支撑器。A有较大干扰性,dress作“穿衣”讲时,宾语是人,而不是物。
2.D 联系空格前的running seven days以及空格后的muscles我们知道,一周“我”跑了七天,目的是增强“我”的肌肉。
3.A 选择此空答案时我们要注意空格前的but,尽管锻炼让“我”筋疲力尽,但是在高中毕业前“我”康复了。
4.C 联系文章第一句When I was fourteen I was hit by a car我们知道,14岁时,“我”经历了一场车祸,现在又一次经历车祸,因此用another。
5.A 联系空格后的their goal was to get me to walk我们知道,这是在“我”治疗时,医生答应要实现的目标。
6.B 本空格的引号对我们选择答案起了很重要的提示作用,显然医生认为“我”正常行走的希望也是渺茫的。其他选 项中,frequently频繁地,attractively吸引人地,carefully小心谨慎地,显然不能体现医生们的推测。
7.A and表明了此空格与前面的stubborn为顺接关系, 再联系后面的I set out to rebuild my leg muscles to support my knees我们知道,没有听医生的诊断,而是倔强地、顽强地坚 持自己的锻炼。C、D都不能与空前的stubborn形成顺接关系,也不能说明自己的不服输。
8.C 从空格前的I set out to rebuild my leg muscles to support my knees我们知道,“我”开始了自己的训练计划。
9.D 联系后文I could run the LA Marathon我们知道,“我”花了九年半的时间学会了跑,现在想去参加马拉松比赛, 因此说是一个疯狂的想法。
10.A 联系后文我们知道,“我”想参加马拉松比赛,因此说“如果我能参加马拉松比赛将会怎样?”what if为固定 句型,意思是“如果……将会怎样?”
11.D 联系空格后的the prized finish line我们知道,“我”想体会一下穿过终点线时的感觉。
12.A 空格前的even if对本题起了很好的指导作用,不能跑着穿越终点,即使那意味着爬过终点,“我”也想参加。
13.B 联系空格前的I spent almost all my time training以及表达比喻的as if我们知道,“我”全身心投入到准备中,就 像“我”的存在就是依赖着这次比赛。
14.B 联系空格后的内容我们知道,这是“我”的认识,因此用knew。
15.C 联系空格前的if I didn’t train to my fullest以及后文的the doctors’ diagnosis (诊断) would win我们知道,如果“我”不全力以赴,“我”的身体就会垮掉,医生的诊断就会 灵验。其他选项中,look out当心;come out出现,出版;fall down跌倒。
16.C 联系空格前的achieve我们知道,“我”要跑马拉松,实现人生的最大目标之一。
17.D 联系空格后的I crossed the finish line of the LA Marathon我们知道,最终“我”的付出得到了回报。pay off在这里是“得到回报”的意思。其他选项中,work out 弄清 楚,计算出;turn out结果是;pay back返还。
18.B 联系空格前的I’m often asked why I run我们知道,当别人问起“我”为什么要跑马拉松时,“我”就这样回答。
19.C 联系空格后的内容我们知道,“我”时常提醒自己。
20.D 联系空后的compared to the suffering those whom I admire must bear我们知道,与那些“我”尊敬的人所承受的痛苦相比,“我”的痛苦算不了什么。

Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once __41 __, such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.
Several years ago, I spoke at a school about how we were surrounded by “___42___ ” if we could only recognize them. A man stopped by to see me, and I remembered him as somebody who had suffered through a(n) ___43___ divorce (离婚) and was examining what was most important to him. He took a small ___44___ out of his pocket. Here is what he said to me that day.
“I ___45___ on this stone when I was leaving church last Sunday. You had spoken about ___46___ opportunities—diamonds. I put the stone in my ___47___ to remind me to look for those “diamonds” that I need. I have been trying to sell my business . On Monday morning, a man who seemed interested in ___48___ some of my stock (股票) stopped by. I thought, ‘Here’s my diamond—don’t let it ___49___!’ I sold the entire stock to him by noon. Now my next diamond is to find a new ___50___ !”
Not long afterward, he did find a new and better job. From then on, he decided to keep his stone with him all the time as a ___51___ to look for “diamonds” as he dug through the ___52___ of life.
Richard DeVos is right when he points out. “This is an exciting world. It is filled with opportunities. Great moments wait around every corner.” Those moments are diamonds that, ___53___ left unrecognized, will be forever lost.
Are you looking for “diamonds” every day? If not, you may ___54___ pass them by! Perhaps there is a diamond of opportunity hidden in the difficulty you’re ___55___ now.

请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 31 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 32 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 33 for years—often from 34 childhood. These stories may have no 35 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 36 my development? I was never 37 to work on cars or be around 38 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, 39 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I 40 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 41 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 42 and told him about my 43 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 44 is it that you can solve 45 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 46 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 47 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 48 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 49 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 50 we choose.
