试题分析：文章大意：文章讲述了作者的儿子因车祸而受伤，这令他很难过。但他的同样遭受过车祸的儿时的同学海伦的生活态度感染了他，给他了希望，最后他的儿子奇迹般的康复了。
1.
2.lived生活；survived幸存；existed存在；escaped逃跑。从后半句“(Helen)从腰部以下全部瘫痪”可知，Helen从车祸中幸存了下来。survive the accident是常用搭配，表示“从事故中幸存下来”。故选B
3. one’s mind意为“在某人的心目中”。 句意是以一个13岁孩子的思维认为从此她不可能再正常生活了。故选A
4.equally平等地；calmly平静地；quietly安静地；normally正常地。作者认为Helen成为残疾人之后很难再过正常人的生活，因此这里用normally。故选D
5.句意是几年后我离开了，并且古语海伦再没想那么多。故选B
6.suffering遭受；causing导致；bearing忍受；catching抓住。儿子被汽车撞了，导致了严重的脑损伤。故选B
7.
8. off挂断电话。从前句的作者的情绪可知，她应该是挂断了电话。句意是我无原因的流泪了并挂断了电话。故选B
9.因为是坐着轮椅所以用roll，滚动。坐着轮椅不可能是跑进、走进或是移进房间，而应该是滚动轮椅进入房间的。故选C
10.tissues纸巾；presents礼物；pills药片；candies糖果。由后面的“She smiled, handed me the tissues and hugged me.”可知Helen来的时候带着纸巾。故选A
11.realized意识到；knew知道；recognized认出；reminded记得。虽然16年没见，但作者还是认出了Helen，用recognized。故选C
12.
13.clear清晰的；smoothed使平静；cleaned干净的；opened打开。smooth the path for sb．固定搭配，“为某人铺平道路”。 句意是她使那些比她更不幸的人平静下来。故选B
14.fortunate幸运。作为残疾人，Helen能结婚、生子、获得学位，是很幸运的事，因此她这样做就为那些生活比她还要不幸的人铺平了生活道路。故选D
15. learned that where there is life, there is hope可以推出答案。海伦给作者的应该是精神上的安慰，希望。故选B。
16.
17.admitted承认；beaten打击；hurt受伤；hospitalized住院。从上文提到的“my oldest son was hit by a car while riding his bike, 6 (causing) a terrible brain injury”可知这里作者指的是儿子在意外中受伤，用hurt，而其他的词性不符合语境。故选C。
18.
19. north可知，这里应指的是作者儿子康复，用recovered而不是treated治疗，worsened恶化，relieved减轻。故选D
20.a debt债务，这里应指人情债，句意是我欠海伦一个永远都无法偿还的人情债。此句意为“但是我欠Helen一笔永远偿还不了的债”。故选C
考点：考查记叙文
发散思维新课堂系列答案If we agree that the function of education is to prepare us for life, then there is very little time to waste. So, while we can, we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really useful. Here is what our schools should teach.
Politeness is a mark of civilization. The sooner children learn this, the better. In any case, a lot can be accomplished by a smile and good manners.
Like it or not, our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money, but we don’t make an effort to teach children how to manage it. So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning.
We’re likely not to accept something we are told, but that’s not what educated people do. Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts. If our schools teach nothing else, they should at least teach critical（批判性的）thinking.
Children should learn to take care of their health. They should know that if they eat junk food（垃圾食品）, they will become fat and unhealthy. They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke.
All of us are part of society. We have rights and responsibilities. We ought to understand what they are. We have to know a little bit of history and geography, because we need to have an environment in which to relate to the people around us.
How will we test students on these? We can’t. But that’s not a reason to avoid teaching what is important. Our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children: “This is life, this is what you are going to face, and this is how you deal with it.”

Introduction | Education should be a 2. for life. |
