It was pouring outside. We all stood there   26   , some patiently , others annoyed   27   nature messed up (弄糟) their hurried day . I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens  28    away the dirt and dust of the world.

“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice    29  me.

“No, honey. We’ll wait until it   30   down a bit,” Mom replied.

The young girl waited about another minute and    31  : “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”

“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.

“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she  32    her Mom’s arm.

“This morning?   33   did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”

“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,” If God can get us through this, he can get us through   34  .”

The entire crowd turned   35  . Mom paused and thought for a moment about    36  she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being   37   . But then we heard, “Honey, you are   38  . Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then    39  they ran.

We all stood    40 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were   41   by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the   42   to their cars. Circumstances (境況) or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your   43  . But no one can ever take away your precious   44  . So, don’t forget to make time and take the   45   to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

試題分析:

1.B。外面下雨了,人們都在躲雨,等候雨停。下文母親的話“We’ll wait until...”也給出了提示。從后半句看,一些人耐心,一些人有些惱怒,所以不能說大家都在抱怨。

2.C。別的人惱怒,當然因為大自然的突然降雨打亂了他們正常的工作生活節(jié)奏。

3.D。雨水沖刷走了世界上的塵土和臟物。

4.A。catch me相當于catch my attention,“引起了我的注意力”,因為此前我正沉醉于雨水帶來的感受中。并沒有讓我惱怒,也談不上給我留下了很深的印象。

5.A。slow down指雨下得緩和一點,不能說stop a bit,停止不存在程度上的一點。6.B。此句話和前面說的話一樣,所以是重復了一遍。

7.A。小孩子想讓母親一起在雨中走,而母親又沒有答應,所以孩子要拉著母親的手往外走。

8.C。從女兒的回答“When you were talking ...”可知母親是問小孩自己是什么時候說那話的。

9.C。如果上帝能讓小孩的父親度過這一難關,則能讓他們度過任何“難關”。

10.B。still一動不動;silent沉默,不出聲。對于小孩的這一天真美好的愿望,大家顯然都事先沒有想到,所以都在沉默,并靜觀下面事情的發(fā)展。

11.A。what引導賓語從句,what在句中充當say的賓語,母親在考慮要和女兒怎么說。

12.B。母親知道,孩子說出的話,在一些人看來肯定會是有點傻的,因為上帝是不存在的,這種愿望只是一種幻想。dishonest不誠實的,欺騙的。孩子的說法是一種美好愿望,當然算不上是欺騙。

13.A。母親不愿破壞孩子的童真,所以表示贊同“你是對的”,是肯定孩子的話就是自己講過的話,而不是說孩子聰明。

14.A。run off跑開。此處強調(diào)off,故把這個詞提前。

15.D。上文的silent以及下文的smiling,laughing可以看出母女的行為已引起了人們的關注,他們都在看著母女倆在雨中跑。

16.A。從定語從句可知,母女的行為也感染了其他的人,又有幾個人也加入她們的行列,在雨中奔跑。follow跟著。

17.B。all the way一路上。way和后面的to搭配。這幾個人一邊跑一邊又叫又笑,很興奮。

18.C。母女的美好愿望是源于小孩的父親得癌癥了,所以說境況可以帶走人們的健康。

19.B。從下文“… make memories every day!”可知,自己創(chuàng)造的美好記憶是不會被帶走的。

20.C。take the chance / opportunities to do …抓住機會做某事,為固定搭配。該句的意思是“抓住創(chuàng)造美好記憶的機會

考點:考查人生百味類完型填空

點評:本文是從一對母女躲雨是的對話,和大家在雨中快樂的奔跑,說明我們要抓住創(chuàng)造美好記憶的機會,文章內(nèi)容淺顯,主要考查在上下文中對詞義的辨析理解,要求考生有一定的思維轉(zhuǎn)換能力。對于文章的上下文串聯(lián)有較強的理解,語法規(guī)則的使用和辨析要求較高。

When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter(煉銅廠),and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest.One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area.Paul knocked him down.From then on, something happened inside him.

Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office.He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back.The answer from that big industry was “No”.

Paul then went to college to study the science of plants.Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren't any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds.It would be a waste of his life to try to do it.Everyone knew that, he was told.Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted.

Paul later got married and had some kids.But his dream would not die.And then one night he did what he could with what he had.As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote.Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.

And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass.For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense.Slowly rabbits appeared.Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.

Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has.It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child.

When Paul was a boy,______________.

       A.he had decided never to leave his hometown

       B.the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelter

       C.no laws were made to protect the environment against pollution

       D.he had determined to stop the copper smelter polluting the area

Why did Paul go to college to study the science of plants?

       A.Because he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself.

       B.Because he was interested in planting trees since he was young.

       C.Because he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help him.

       D.Because he thought his knowledge would make his advice more persuasive.

What does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense” probably refer to?

       A.That it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.

       B.That his normal work and life would be greatly affected.

       C.That no one would like to join him in the efforts.

       D.That he had to keep everything he did secret.

The company hired Paul to plant trees and grass because___________.

     A.they realized the importance of environmental protection

     B.What Paul was doing moved them

       D.many hands make light work

Over the past 20 years, AIDS and war have claimed the parents of 2.4 million Ugandan children.When Alexis Hefley first visited the country,, in 1993, she saw the children's sorrow, but the former Texas banker also spotted "a world of possibility".She watched as they danced for tourists to earn money, and she had a thought: If people in America could see them perform, they'd support them too.                   

The children's passion and talent inspired Hefley to work with the kids at an orphanage(孤兒院)in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda, to organize a traveling dance troupe(團).The goals: to give the problems in Uganda a human face, to raise awareness and to raise money.

The first tour touched down at six American cities in 1994.Today, the 22-member troupe, known as the Spirit of Uganda, travels across America every two years.The young performers bring their energy and joy to audiences across the U.S.a(chǎn)nd help support hundreds of Ugandan orphans back home.Among the young dancers, some earn scholarships to attend the U.S.colleges, and then return to their country to help rebuild it.

Photojournalist Douglas Menuez first photographed the troupe in 2006 -?a project that led to his new book, Transcendent Spirit, from which these images are drawn.At each performance, the dancers' faces show pure joy, quite an achievement given the hardships they've faced."They look to the future, not the past," explains Menuez."They embrace beauty and good in the world." As one dancer puts it, "People think we have lost our parents.We've had so many problems.But then they see us perform.They see our smiles.And they learn that life goes on."

What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?     

       A.How miserable Ugandan orphans' life is.       

       B.How the dance troupe was set up.

       C.How the young dancers earned money.        

       D.How the orphans lost their parents.|

What do we learn about the Spirit of Uganda?            

       A.It was started by a journalist.

       B.It travels across the U.S.a(chǎn)nnually.

       C.It consists of two dozen performers.

       D.Its dancers have chances to study in the U.S.

In the eyes of Menuez, the young performers are_____. 

       A.beautiful            B.talented    C.optimistic      D.humorous

What might be the most suitable title for the passage?      

       A.Ugandan orphans turn tragedy into dance         

       B.Transcendent Spirit: A close look at Uganda           

       C.AIDS and war are claiming people's lives                 

       D.Lots of people are helping Ugandan orphans
