(1)The half-empty coffee cups, still standing next to their plates, tell of a morning like others. And yet, that grey covering of dust that everything wears tells a different story: it tells of screams, tears, confusion, terror and blood.

   (2)Now the restaurant in the World Trade Center will never again serve breakfast. And never again will all those people go there to eat or work --- those people of America whose faces have entered our hearts. So many people whose faces we associate with life and liveliness _______ tonight. So many words remain unsaid, and so much happiness has been destroyed. In their places are tear-stained faces. My generation has seen this. On Monday, a fight with my sister and a bad grade seemed to be the biggest problems in the world. Tonight, so many people across the country know that America’s pain is at its worst ever. We have read about World War II, and we have seen the black-and-white pictures. But to most students, that’s an event on a textbook page that would never happen today.

  (3) After all, this was a time of peace and wealth --- the United States was powerful and successful. There would be no more wars, and we were lucky to live in such a time. But when those planes hit; when firefighters with terror on their faces ran among the parts of the buildings that had fallen; when people screamed for their family members; when history was unfolding before our eyes, in full, clear colour ---- then we knew the world had been changed.

  (4) Everything that had happened in the past seemed to take on new life through September 11, 2001. And when they say this is the worst wound in American soil, I say, I thought this place was an empire. And I say, I thought this was a time of peace. And I say, I thought we were safe.

  (5) Knowing how many human beings turned to ashes in a second, and seeing some jumps from the buildings, I know that my generation is growing up in a world where mankind can still be evil. But seeing those heroes risk lives among the castle-like ruins, and seeing the eager blood donors at the hospitals, my generation has learned that tears are allowed, that mankind can also be beautiful, and that the ghost of evil will never defeat the spirit of good.

【解析】

試題分析：

1.主旨推斷題。文章第一自然段采用情景再現(xiàn)的描寫手法，第二自然段，通過對(duì)情景的回憶，講到世貿(mào)中心將不再供應(yīng)早餐，很多的幸福都被毀壞了，第四自然段降到在911之后過去發(fā)生的一切都似乎呈現(xiàn)出了新的面貌。最后一段作者通過美與丑，罪惡與善良的對(duì)比，作者深信邪惡永遠(yuǎn)戰(zhàn)勝不了正義，所以整體可知，這篇文章是用來紀(jì)念911襲擊的，即in honor of September 11 attack.

2.細(xì)節(jié)題。最后一段seeing those heroes risk lives among the castle-like ruins, and seeing the eager blood donors at the hospitals可知，作者看到那些英雄們冒著生命危險(xiǎn)在廢墟中展開營(yíng)救行動(dòng)，看到在醫(yī)院里絡(luò)繹不絕的獻(xiàn)血者時(shí)，作者相信這個(gè)世界仍然是美好的。

3.從第一段And yet, that grey covering of dust that everything wears tells a different story: it tells of screams, tears, confusion, terror and blood.

可知，那些布滿灰塵的灰色覆蓋物，講述著一個(gè)不同的故事：它講述是尖叫，眼淚，困惑，恐懼和鮮血。故可知，it指上文的布滿灰塵的灰色覆蓋物。

4.通過后文，So many words remain unsaid, and so much happiness has been destroyed.很多話還未說出口，很多的幸福都以毀滅，可知前文提到有這么多人，通過他們的臉，我們?nèi)阅苈?lián)想起他們的生活和熱情，這些人在今夜都不復(fù)存在了。故填are gone.

5.第二段We have read about World War II, and we have seen the black-and-white pictures.可知，作者提到了第二次世界大戰(zhàn)，和黑白照片，這些對(duì)于很多學(xué)生來說，只是教科書上永遠(yuǎn)都不可能再發(fā)生的事情。第三段，作者講到作者認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)和平?jīng)]有戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的年代，所以由此可知，911讓作者想起了第二次世界大戰(zhàn)。

考點(diǎn)：抒情散文

點(diǎn)評(píng)：文章作者通過911之前的情形和現(xiàn)在情形的對(duì)比，同時(shí)通過自己對(duì)人生的感悟，將自己所表達(dá)的“邪不壓正”的中心思想表達(dá)的很形象。答此類題目，因結(jié)合題目在文章找準(zhǔn)位置，盡量用文章的語句回答，同時(shí)如果字?jǐn)?shù)不多，可以采用只寫主謂賓，將修飾成分去掉的方法答題。
