A Love Note to My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled (T台展示) for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling 1 in your life. Little did I know you were 2 every penny you earned to go to 3 school.
I cannot thank you enough for 4 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried 5 piles of law books. I was 6 . Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for 7 ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms 8 be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was, that statement kept 9 in my ears. I watched as you faced the 10 of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a 11 and a Mom of five kids. I was exhausted just watching you 12 . With your words of wisdom in my 13 mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world 14 . I set out to live my life filled with 15 , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I 16 found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) 17 one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said, “Yes, I’11 try that.”
Encouraged by your 18 , I have forged ahead(毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and 19 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m 20 it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

1.B 注意搭配。一般高考英语完形填空会把原来的短语分开,通过一些句式来考查。
2.A 注意动宾意义上的结合,后面是penny 与金钱有关,所以选 save。
3.C 瞻前顾后,联系上下文,选项(20)的后面有law books 题(23)后有lawyers 作为提示,因此填 law 为正确答案。
4.A 此题考查语法知识,属于功能性考查。tell sb. something,句子缺少宾语,所以填what这个代词。考查语法功能在高考英语完形填空试题中所占比例很轻。
5.D 此题考查语法知识,属于功能性考查。埋头读书,很形象。所以选择under。
6.C 自己不理解,为什么妈妈像自己的孩子一样去记忆繁琐的知识。考查过去分词化形容词。
7.B for 介词 表目的 学习的目的就是为了考试,所以选tests,符合题意。
8.D could 表示推断,“有可能”之意。属于语法功能考查。
9.A 选项后面的in my ears 是提示性的短语,在耳边回荡,选ringing 发出声响之意,非常恰当。
10.C 后面讲到与爸爸一起创办公司,实属不易,所以面临诸多困难与挑战。
11.D still 是提示词,后面要填的肯定是前面所出现的,身为五个孩子的母亲,还有本身的工作要做。母亲原来做的就是模特,所以填model。
12.B 母亲什么事情都身体力行,所以选in action. in charge是管理 负责的意思,没有协作,共同之意。
13.C 受到妈妈的勤奋好学的思想的积极影响,作者的脑海中也充满了一种激情浩荡,蓬勃向上的朝气,所以选youthful,意思是有朝气的。本文从前至后洋溢着一种进取上进的思想,所以解题时要全文把握,抓住主流。
14.D 高考英语完形填空一般都会有一到两题考查词组。除了掌握词组的本意以外,还要了解它的引申义,比如turn up 本意是把音量开大,引申义是出现的意思。想掌握一个词组,要做到借助句子语境去理解,这样记忆才能牢固。open up 打开,展现 的意思,就是作者的整个世界就像一扇门一样的打开了,从此开始了自己的追梦之旅,取得成就无数。本题解题时要注意前后搭配及其全文整体思想。
15.A 后面的achievements 是个提示词,没有hope就没有achievements,所以选hope,指作者无论做什么事情都满怀希望,持有梦想。准确找到提示词是决定答案的关键。
16.A 考查副词词义。选项前面的Your words became my motto. 是含有提示性的一句。作者经常把妈妈的富有进取的话语当作自己做事的座右铭,时刻激励着自己。
17.C 瞻前顾后。前后是并列关系,表选择。
18.B 表白 之意,考查名词词义,容易区分,较简单。
19.D 考查副词词义。这里选eagerly, 表现了作者迫不及待的心情,时刻准备着去迎接每一个挑战。
20.A you did it 是提示语,did 是做事的意思,所以后面选doing 是非常合理的。找对提示用语或提示词是作出正确判断的关键。

John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose.
When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin((空白处). The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner’s name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell.
He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army. During the next year,they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed. John requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what
she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested-7:00 p.m. at the Grand Central Station in New York.
She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose.
As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose stood nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split(劈开) in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and supported him.
The woman looked gentle and sensible. John went to her, saying, “I’m Captain John Blanchard. You must be Miss Maynell. I am glad to meet you here. May I take you to dinner?”
She replied with a smile, “I don’t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, I’d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”

Electric ears are dirty.In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about "zero-emissions vehicles", but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. Generators are fueled by something---usually coal, oil,but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It's just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are. covering their eyes---"If I can't see it, it's not happening." Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it.But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat---at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far---so electric cars bum more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes; or geothermal,or hydro, or solar, or wind,then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical,and economic reasons,we don't use much of those energy sources.
In addition,electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill.And finally, When cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
