According to legend, a young man while wandering the desert came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water. The water was so sweet, he   21  his leather container so he could bring some   22  to a tribal elder who had been his teacher.
After a four-day journey he   23  the water to the old man who took a deep drink,   24  warmly and thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy   25 .
Later, the teacher let another student   26  the water. He spat it   27 , saying it was awful. It   28  had been no longer fresh and   29  unpleasant to drink because of the old leather container.
The student challenged his teacher: “Master, the water was smelly. Why did you   30  to like it?”
The teacher replied, “You only tasted the water. I tasted the   31 . The water was simply the container for an act of loving-kindness and nothing could be   32 .”
I think we understand this lesson best when we receive   33  gifts of love from young children.   34  it’s a tray or a bracelet, the   35  and proper response is   36  and expressed thankfulness because we love the idea within the gift.
Gratitude doesn’t always come naturally.   37 , most children and many adults value only the thing given   38  the feeling embodied in it. We should remind ourselves and   39  our children about the beauty and purity of feelings and expressions of gratitude.   40 , gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.

試題分析：本文通過講述一位部落長老收到一個年輕的男子在漫游沙漠途中找到的甘泉，深切感激學(xué)生贈予他甜美的水。其實，水因為在陳舊的皮革容器里，變得不再新鮮。從而告訴我們一個道理：我們當(dāng)從別人那里收到愛的禮物時，我們應(yīng)該欣賞，并表示感激，因為發(fā)自內(nèi)心給予的禮物才是真正的禮物。
小題1:考查動詞辨析。A.packed打包B. Filled裝滿，填滿，灌滿C.took拿，��；采取；D. Carried裝載（沉重的物品），根據(jù)句意，因為水的味道非常甜美，于是他灌滿了他的皮水壺。故選B
小題2:考查動詞短語。bring sth back帶...回去,bring in；引入，賺（錢）bring up教育，培育 bring away 帶著...離開。句意這樣就可以帶一些回去，送給曾經(jīng)是他老師的部落長老。
小題3:考查動詞辨析。present to,意思是 “出現(xiàn)在 ”;“送給”;“把……呈現(xiàn)給”，句意是他把水呈獻(xiàn)給老人而mail是指郵寄，deliver是指遞送；投遞；傳送，均不合題意
小題4:考查動詞辨析。 從下文thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water可推斷老人應(yīng)該是和藹的微笑著。
小題5:根據(jù)語境，年輕人得到老人的感激，當(dāng)然是懷著愉快的心情回到了村莊。heart 心，感情B.mind，智力，智慧， 意志，記憶C. Moment時刻D.occasion機(jī)會，時機(jī)；場合，故選A

小題7: 根據(jù)下文saying it was awful，水很難喝，故學(xué)生吐了出來。Spit out吐出…；唾。
小題8:根據(jù)句意，水顯然已經(jīng)因為陳舊的皮革容器而變得不再新鮮。A. Apparently顯然地；似乎；顯而易見B. Still仍然C. Sadly悲傷地D. Quickly快速地。故選擇A
小題9:聯(lián)系上下文。水已經(jīng)變得不再新鮮，因此不好喝。故選D。A.however可是，然而B. Instead正相反 C. nevertheless 然而；盡管如此；不過；仍然D. Therefore因此。
小題10:句意;學(xué)生質(zhì)疑他的老師：“師父，水是臭的，你為什么要假裝喜歡它？”A. Changeg改變="B." pretend假裝C. determine決定 D.agree同意，根據(jù)語境，B最合題意。
小題11:聯(lián)系下文（重現(xiàn)） gifts of love from young children，可知正確答案是gift.句意為：你只品嘗了水的味道，我卻是在品嘗禮物的味道。
小題12:考查形容詞的比較級。句意：水僅僅是裝載善與愛之行為的容器，而沒有什么東西比善與愛更甜美了。”A. clearer更 干凈B. fresher 更 新鮮C. sweeter更甜美D. purer更純潔
小題13:根據(jù)常識，形容孩子應(yīng)該用“天真無邪”，故選B。A. Simple簡單的B. innocent天真無邪的C.worthless無價值的，不值錢的；卑微的D.meaningless無意義的。
小題14:從下文because we love the idea within the gift，所以，無論它是一個陶瓷托盤或通心粉手鐲，我們都應(yīng)該欣賞并感激。whether…or…:不管…還是…
小題15:考查形容詞。收到別人送的禮物，我們自然而恰當(dāng)?shù)姆磻?yīng)是欣賞，并表示感激。A. Pretended假裝的B.lovely可愛的C.abnormal正常的，均不合題意。D.natural自然的為正確答案。
小題16:由and連接并列結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空格和expressed thankfulness為并列關(guān)系，故選D. Appreciation欣賞，感激。
小題17:根據(jù)語境，此處表達(dá)：不幸的是，大多數(shù)兒童和成人只看重被贈予的東西本身，A. Unfortunately不幸地是B.Frankly坦率地C.Strangely奇怪地D. Possibly可能地，故選A。
小題18:根據(jù)句意，大多數(shù)兒童和成人只看重被贈予的東西本身，而不是它體現(xiàn)的情誼。故選B。A.other than不同于；非；除了(="but,expect)B.rather" than（要）…而不…，與其…倒不如…;而不是C.better than比…更好D.more than不只是；很；超過；在…次以上。
小題19:A. persuade勸說，規(guī)勸B. Teach教育，教誨C. Improve提高，改善D.advise建議。根據(jù)句意：我們應(yīng)該提醒自己，并教導(dǎo)我們的孩子，感情和對感激之情的表達(dá)是美麗而純潔的。選擇B答案。
小題20:A. In a word總之，一句話B. Otherwise否則，要不然C. Thus因此D. After all畢竟，終究。根據(jù)上下文的關(guān)系，句意為：畢竟，發(fā)自內(nèi)心給與的禮物才是真正的禮物。故選D
點評：本文是屬于夾敘夾議型記敘文。通過敘述長老收到學(xué)生贈與的已經(jīng)不再甘甜的水后表示欣賞，感激的這樣一件事，從而告誡人們一個道理：發(fā)自內(nèi)心給予的禮物才是真正的禮物。，夾敘夾議類文章在高考完形填空中出現(xiàn)的頻率越來越高。此類文章題材較貼近考生生活實際，內(nèi)容積極且有教育意義;結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，脈絡(luò)有序;以敘為主，敘議結(jié)合，敘述靈活，側(cè)重語境。解答夾敘夾議類完形填空題時，思維要靈活，要隨著記敘與議論的轉(zhuǎn)換，及時調(diào)整思維方式。

Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to perform euthanasia(安樂死)—that’s to say, doctors are permitted to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. Word that the law was passed by the vote of 15 to 10 immediately flashed on the Internet and was picked up by John, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada, who posted it on the group’s homepage online, saying, “This isn’t merely something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”
The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical influence. Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the law. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia--where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law. In the U. S. and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米諾骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to end suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the disturbing fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I' m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.
小題1:According to the text, which of the following statements is TURE?
A．Patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia if they are afraid of illness.
B．Australia, Canada and the US speak highly of the law of euthanasia.
C．All people in Australia don’t share the positive attitude to euthanasia
D．If a patient requests death, he should sign a certificate after 48 hours.
小題2:The underlined sentence in Para 2, “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.” means that observers are prepared to learn the news that         .
A．some other countries pass similar laws
B．Australia has to put an end to euthanasia
C．people begin to change attitudes to euthanasia
D．different effects result from the game of dominoes
小題3:Which is NOT the reason for Australia to become the first country to pass the law of euthanasia?
A．Australia has advanced technology of extending life.
B． Australians realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than death.
C．Australia is faced with a growing ageing population.
D．Australians find it easy to deal with the moral and practical influence.
小題4:It can be inferred from the text that          .
A．Australia passed the law of euthanasia by the vote of 15 to 10
B．John and his group are in favor of the law of euthanasia in Australia.
C．a(chǎn)n adult patient can request euthanasia by a deadly injection or pill
D．Lloyd has seen many people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen.
小題5:What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia?
A．NegativeB．CriticalC．DoubtfulD．Positive

The Hand
Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class fun work to draw a picture of  36  for which they were thankful.
Most of the class might be  37   to be economically(經(jīng)濟(jì)上) poor, but still many would  38   a big holiday dinner with turkeys and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the   39   of most of her students’ art. And they really were.
But Douglas made a   40   kind of picture, for Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of pity and love,  41  and unhappy. As other children played at break, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess the pain Douglas felt  42   those sad eyes.
Yes, his picture was different. When he was  43  to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a  44  ---nothing else. Just an empty hand.
His picture brought out the heated  45  of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer because farmers  46   turkeys. Another suggested a police officer’s because the police protect and  47   people. And so the discussion went --- until the teacher   48   forgot the young artist.
  49 the children had gone on to do other work, she   50 Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said in a very low voice, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She recalled the  51    when she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there and how  52   she had said, “Take your hand, Douglas, and we’ll go outside.” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” or “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most   53   for his teacher’s hand.
Brushing aside tears, she went on with her work.
In fact, people  54   not always say “Thanks”. But they would remember the hand that  55   .

The month of May is not only a graduation month in the US, but also a month when some families hold reunions．Have you ever considered why it is important that families get together in one place for a particular time? I believe the reason is honor．
Family reunions are a time we can take out of our busy schedules and spend quality time with our extended families（大家庭）．It is a time when we can make our sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and others we love a priority （首要事情）in our life．
Some reunions take place over a picnic lunch and some last a whole weekend．They can be costly and are sometimes crazy．But the truth is, when people you love grow up and move away, getting together for a family reunion and holding that family bond together is so important．
Family reunions build a renewed closeness as we mix with our relatives．We sit and talk about old times and listen to the stories that our older and wiser relatives love to share．As the children run and play and get to know each other, we sit and revisit our childhood memories and enjoy the short time we have together．
The best part of a family reunion is the time spent simply being around the people you care about A reunion shows how important it is to take time for each other．When you receive a family reunion invitation, make it a priority in your life．It's a great chance to see your relatives once again, give them a big hug and enjoy the time you have with them．Life is too short not to!
小題1:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．How to attend a family reunion?B．What is a family reunion?

Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact(交流，溝通) these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals(個人，個體) and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?
In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立)us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected—helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people — at the same time!
小題1:The underlined phrase “networked individualism” probably means that by using computers people ________.
A．stick to their own ways no matter what other people say
B．have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest
C．do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people
D．a(chǎn)re able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people
小題2:According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?
A．NetworksB．FriendsC．PhonesD．Parents.
小題3:It can be inferred from the Pew study that _______.
A．people have been separated from each other by using computers
B．the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely
C．the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication
D．a(chǎn) lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing
小題4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
A．We’re Alone on the Internet.
B．We’re Communicating on the Internet.
C．We’re Alone Together on the Internet.
D．We’re in the Imaginary World of the Internet

The quest for success always begins with a target. As Berra once said, “You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.”
Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers．Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, “What am I doing with my life?” and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals．
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction．Begin with a clear conception of what you want．Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them．Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need．
It’s important to visualize（想象）yourself accomplishing your goal．While losers visualize the penalties（不利）of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success．I’ve seen it among athletes, statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference．I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly．I had programmed myself, without realizing it, to stay off planes．
Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort；I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation．So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing．
When the day arrived, I was eager to go．To everyone’s surprise, I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day．

There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular（土話）—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane（車道）, and explore new ways of living “green”.
Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan （about US $700）.
The life of a green collar may go something like this; Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged. 
Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief（擺脫貧困）projects in China.
“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.
