第二节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)
A boy walked along Carver Street, singing a sad song. He walked with his head down. Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street, painted on the side of an old house. On the sign a big woman with yellow hair and a five-mile smile held out a big bottle. “Coca-Cola. Drink-Cola-Cola,” the sign said.
“Boy!” the silence was cut by a sudden cry. He turned around quickly to see who had called.
An old woman was standing at her door.
“You boy! Come here this minute!”
Slowly the boy 21 onto the cold flat stones leading to the old woman’s house. When he arrived at her house, she 22 out her hand and wrapped(缠住)her 23 old fingers around his arm.
“Help me inside, boy,” she said. “Help me 24 to my bed. What’s your name?”
“Joseph,” he said.
The old woman on the bed tried to 25 up, raising herself on her elbow(肘). Water 26 from her eyes and mouth. The sight of her made Joseph feel 27 .
“I’m dying, Joseph. You can see that, can’t you? I want you to write a 28 for me. There’s paper and pencil on the table there.”
Joseph looked down at the 29 , and then looked out of the window. He saw the sign again, “Coca-Cola. Drink Cola-Cola.”
“I want my silver ring to 30 to my daughter.”
Joseph bent his small body over the table and 31 the pencil slowly across the paper.
“There’s my Bible(圣经),” the old woman said. “That’s for my daughter, too. I want a 32 Christian burial(基督葬礼)with lots of singing. Write that down, too. That’s the last 33 of a poor old woman.”
The boy laboured over the paper. Again he looked out of the window.
“Here. Bring it here so I can 34 it.”
Joseph found the Bible, and, 35 the paper inside, laid it next to the bed.
“ 36 me now, boy,” she sighed. “I’m tired.”
He ran out of the house.
A cold wind blew through the 37 window, but the old woman on the bed 38 nothing. She was dead. The paper in the Bible moved back and forth in the wind. 39 on the paper were some childish letters. They 40 the words, “Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola.”
