Years ago I had the opportunity to meet a girl who strengthened my understanding of the power of belief. She was __36___ the most powerful person I had ever met. I met Chris for the first time while taking the Dale Carnegie __37___ in California.

Our class had already been going for quite some time when ___38___, supported by metal crutches(拐杖), ___39__ herself in. Chris had cerebral palsy(大腦性麻痹). She had much ___40___ in communicating with others. This was not because of ___41___ of desire, but because most of her twenty-one years of life she had been kept in a room with no more than Elvis records and tapes to __42___ her. No one had taken the time to help her develop the ability to ___43___. It was Bonnie, her present caretaker, who ___44___ there was much more to Chris than anyone else could see.

When asked by the instructor what her goal ___45___ the twelve-week course was, Chris struggled to respond and became impatient and ____46___ in the process. For most of her ___47___ nobody would listen to her. The only way she knew to get someone to ___48___ was through temper outbursts(發(fā)脾氣). With Bonnie as her interpreter, Chris conveyed that her ___49___ was to be able to stand by herself in front of forty-five people and tell us about herself.

On the twelfth week, Chris stood in front of the room and ___50___ with us, in her own words, what her life had been like. It was one of the most beautiful and enlightening experiences I had ever ___51____. Though as a girl who had in many ways been ____52___, she believed that she could ___53___ more in her life and she did. And she also had the love and support of forty-five friends, who, just weeks before, had been ____54___ strangers.

What we all witnessed through Chris’ courage is that life is ____55___ moment by moment, based on our beliefs, which are related to both our personal and professional direction and have the power to make our wildest dreams come true.

試題分析：本文講述的我所見過的一個(gè)殘疾的女孩，雖然在生活中有很多的困難，但是不向命運(yùn)低頭，努力實(shí)現(xiàn)人生目標(biāo)的故事。

1.B 副詞辨析。A幸運(yùn)地B也許C正式D自然；也許她是我見過的最堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的人。

2.D 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)45空后the twelve-week course說明我們這是一個(gè)培訓(xùn)的課程班。

3.D 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)文章第一行meet a girl可知本文講述的是一個(gè)有堅(jiān)強(qiáng)意志的女孩子，故使用she。

4.C 固定搭配。Drag sb in拖著進(jìn)來；因?yàn)樗侵糁照鹊�，所以該詞表示她走的很慢，很拖拉。

5.A 固定句式。Have some difficulty in doing sth做某事有困難；在和別人交流方面她有很大的困難。

6.A 名詞辨析。A缺少B需要C通知D歡呼；這不是因?yàn)樗鄙俳涣鞯挠撬鄙龠@樣的機(jī)會(huì)。

7.D 動(dòng)詞辨析。A留有印象B惱怒C使鎮(zhèn)定D娛樂；她唯一的娛樂工具就是收音機(jī)和磁帶。

9.A 動(dòng)詞辨析。A知道B詢問C說D要求；只有現(xiàn)在的監(jiān)護(hù)人才知道她有比別人看見多得多的東西。

10.B 固定搭配.the goal for…指…的目的；老師詢問她來參加這個(gè)課程班的目的是什么。

11.A 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)impatient和trough temper outbursts(發(fā)脾氣). 可知A正確。她在平時(shí)通過trough temper outbursts(發(fā)脾氣)來引起別人的注意，所以老師問她的時(shí)候，她不耐煩且生氣了。

12.B 名詞辨析。A方法B人生作D過程；在她的人生過程中，很少有人會(huì)聽她說什么。

13.C 上下文串聯(lián)。她唯一讓別人聽她的方式就是發(fā)脾氣，只有發(fā)了脾氣以后別人才會(huì)聽她的意見。

14.B 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)45空前的what her goal說明她是在回答這個(gè)問題，目標(biāo)是什么？

考點(diǎn)：考查故事類短文閱讀

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文講述的是一個(gè)殘疾的女孩，雖然在生活中有很多的困難，但是不向命運(yùn)低頭，努力實(shí)現(xiàn)人生目標(biāo)的故事�？忌谶x擇答案時(shí)要根據(jù)上下文的復(fù)現(xiàn)或同現(xiàn)以及這些詞之間的有機(jī)聯(lián)系來確定答案。由于完形填空的文章是一個(gè)意義相關(guān)聯(lián)的語篇，圍繞一個(gè)話題論述，因此在行文中詞語的重復(fù)、替代、復(fù)現(xiàn)和同現(xiàn)現(xiàn)象是不可避免的。根據(jù)這個(gè)原則，某一個(gè)空格所對(duì)應(yīng)的答案很可能就是在上下文中復(fù)現(xiàn)或同現(xiàn)的相關(guān)詞：原詞、同義詞、近義詞、反義詞等。

If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonner and say, “Hey, Butterfly Man,” his face would break into a smile. The title suits him. And he loves it.

Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back — thanks to him. But years ago if you’d told him this was what he’d be doing someday, he would have laughed, “You’re crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “a little tough guy on the streets”. At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.

“I knew it had hurt my mom,” Bonner said after he got out of prison. “So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.”

One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.

“I saw the sign ‘Butterfly Habitat’ and asked, ‘How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?’” Bonner recalls. “Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大鏡), ‘Look at the leaves.’ I could see all these caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼蟲) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, ‘Without the plant, there are no butterflies.’”

Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly which needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he’s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragals, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.

The butterfly’s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.

For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.

When he was young, Arthur Bonner _______.

A. broke the law and ended up in prison

B. was fond of shooting and hurt his mom

   C. often laughed at people on the streets

   D. often caught butterflies and took them home

Bonner came to know the Palos Verdes blue after he _______.

A. found the butterfly had died out       

B. won many prizes from his professor

C. met Dr. Mattoni, a professor of biology  

D. collected butterflies and put them into a lab

From the last sentence of the text, we learn that raising butterflies has ________.

A. made Bonner famous              B. changed Bonner’s life

C. brought Bonner wealth             D. enriched Bonner’s knowledge

What does the underlined phrase “put through” mean in the 3rd paragraph?

A. hurt                         B. recall                  C. remember                    D. experience

Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. A Promise to Mom                B. A Man Saved by Butterflies

C. A Story of Butterflies              D. A Job Offered by Dr. Mattoni

Britain’s symbolic red phone boxes have become out of date in the age of the mobile, but villages across the country are stepping in to save them, with creative intelligence. Whether as a place to exhibit art, poetry, or even as a tiny library, hundreds of phone boxes have been given a new life by local communities determined to preserve a typical part of British life. In Waterperry, a small village near Oxford, the 120 residents have filled the phone box next to the old house with a pot of flowers, piles of gardening and cooking magazines, and stuck poems on the walls.

They took control of the phone box when telecoms operator BT said it was going to pull it down, an announcement that caused such dissatisfaction that one local woman threatened to chain herself to the box to save it. “I’d have done it, “ insisted Kendall Turner. “It would have been heartbreaking for the village. “ Local councilor Tricia Hallam, who came up with the idea for the phone box’s change, said quite a few people would have joined her, adding, “ We couldn’t let it go because it’s a British symbol.”

Only three feet by three feet wide, and standing 2.51-meter tall, the phone boxes were designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1936 for the 25th anniversary of the reign of King George V. Painted in “Post Office red” to match the post boxes, they were once a typical image of England and the backdrop(背景) to millions of tourist photographs.

Eight years ago there were about 17,000 across Britain, but today, in a country where almost everybody has a mobile phone, 58 percent are no longer profitable and ten percent are only used once a month. “On average, maintaining them costs ￡800 a year per phone box-about ￡44 million annually,” said John Lumb, general manager for BT Payphones.

Some red phone boxes in Britain have been used for ____.

a. selling flowers    b. cooking   c. reading  d. exhibiting art or poetry

A. a, b   B. c, d   C. a,b,c  D. b,c,d

Why do the villagers want to keep the red phone boxes?

A. Because millions of people visit Britain to see the red phone boxes.

B. Because the local people could earn a lot of money from the red phone boxes.

C. Because the red phone boxes have already become a symbol of Britain.

D. Because the red phone boxes may be useful for some people in emergency.

What is the color of the British post boxes according to the passage?

A. Green   B. Red     C. Black    D. Yellow

What is John Lumb’s attitude towards pulling down the red phone boxes?

A. supportive   B. Opposed   C. Neutral    D. Indifferent.

About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college in New York, I was working as a practice student at my University's Museum of Natural History. One day while I was working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in wheelchair.

As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was seated on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and the trunk of the human body. She was wearing a little white dress with the patterns of red roses and yellow dots.

As the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼示意). As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the most beautiful, largest smile I have ever seen

All of a sudden her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. I immediately felt full of hope and confidence. She took me, a poor, unhappy college student, into her world, a world of smiles, love and warmth.               

That was ten years ago, but I still remember it clearly as if it happened just yesterday. I'm a successful business person now and whenever I get down and think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that she taught me.

What was the writer a decade ago?

A. A worker working in a university.

B. A teacher teaching in a college.

C. A clerk working in a museum.

D. A university student who had not yet taken a degree.

What does the underlined world “handicap” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Life difficulty.    B. Troublesome problem.

C. Failure in work.   D. Physical disability. 

How did the writer probably feel before meeting the disabled girl?

A. She felt full of hope.

D. She felt life was beautiful.

Which of the following title suits this passage best?
