After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.

Dear son,

I want to thank you for teaching me a very __21__ lesson in life by the great example you __22__. When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had __23__ his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any __24__, you went over and put the __25__ $2 into his hand.

When we were leaving, you __26__ threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said __27__ like, “Some kid will really enjoy __28__ this.”

Last week, a young man __29__ me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have __30__ money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much __31__ is he?” She told  me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car __32__ he had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15 __33__, which came to just over __34__. That is an easy mistake __35__ both gauges run fast.

Something made me think of you and __36__ you did that night at the café in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so __37__ and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.

Thank you, son, for teaching me that “It’s __38__ to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the __39__ and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it __40__, just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.

Love always,

Mum

[答案]

本篇完形填空是一封书信,通过母亲给儿子的一封信,说明儿子的善举打动了母亲,使得母亲在自己的生活中也把这种善举继续发扬下去。

21.D。根据前文“I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.”可以推测,作者被儿子的善举打动,也就是儿子给她上了非常宝贵的一课。

22.C。根据前文内容可知,作者的儿子给作者树立了很好的榜样,故选C。

23.A。根据前句内容以及常识可知,在餐馆里吃饭,应该先点吃的东西。

24.A。根据前文内容可以推测,作者的儿子很慷慨,自然是毫不犹豫地把两美元放到了那个人的手里。

25.C。根据逻辑以及后文的“When we were leaving, you __26__ threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement”可知,作者的儿子很慷慨,那自然是他把额外的两美元放到那个人的手里,而不是最后的两美元。

26.D。根据上下文以及语法可得出答案。儿子先把额外的两美元放到那个人的手里,然后又把一枚五分的硬币扔在人行道上,而again表示“又一次”。

27.D。从后面他说的内容可知应用something。

28.A。根据文章最后一段最后一句“...just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it”的内容,可以得出答案。

29.C。根据上下文及常识可知,C项正确。

30.D。根据上下文内容以及逻辑可知,那个年轻人没有足够的钱加油。

31.C。根据句后的内容可以推测,那个年轻人没有足够的钱加油,所以“我”问收款人他差多少钱。

32.B。前后句内容有转折关系,所以用转折连词but。

33.A。根据句意以及常识可知,加油时,计量表显示的是金额与公升数,他看错了计量表,误把公升当成了金额。

34.B。根据下文作者给了那个年轻人6美元可知,应是刚超过了20美元。

35.B。前后句内容有因果关系,所以用as表示“因为”。

36.A。and连接两个宾语,第一个宾语是代词you,第二个宾语是由what引导的宾语从句。

37.B。根据后面的答语可知,那个人对此感到很惊讶。

38.B。根据文章前后文内容可知答案,“It’s better to give than receive”意为“施舍胜过受惠”。

39.C。由前文“When we were leaving...onto the pavement”可得出答案。

40.A。根据上下文及逻辑可知,应该是把那枚五分的硬币留在那儿。
