Before my daddy lived in the rest home, an elderly 37 was sent there. Since there wasn’t a double room 38 , they were forced to separate the couple. The gentleman, Mr.West, was 39 in the bed beside Daddy. His wife, Mrs.West, shared a room with several other ladies down the hall.
When I went to see Daddy that morning, I 40 Mr.West. Three employees were working with him. He hadn’t eaten a bite of food 41 he was sent several days earlier. I could 42 by the expression on the nurses’ faces that they were worried about him. Mr.West 43 to open his mouth for any of them.

考點：考查夾敘夾議類短文
點評：本文的描寫很有特點，在文章第開頭和結(jié)尾都突出了主題。所以考生對首段應(yīng)該給與足夠的重視，因為往往它就是文章的中心，它體現(xiàn)的觀點往往決定了全文的觀點，所以多花一點時間看首段是永遠是值得的。同時考生在選擇答案時要根據(jù)上下文的復(fù)現(xiàn)或同現(xiàn)以及這些詞之間的有機聯(lián)系來確定答案。由于完形填空的文章是一個意義相關(guān)聯(lián)的語篇，圍繞一個話題論述，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)這個原則，某一個空格所對應(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。

At Blossom End Railroad Station, 22-year-old Stanley Vine sat, waiting for his new employer. The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France. After four horrible years as an army private fighting in Europe, Stanley had returned to England in February 1946. Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England, he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada. Two months later he was on his way.
When the old car rumbled (發(fā)著轆轆聲) toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame. The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and complained, “You’re a skinny thing.” On the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids. “Money is tight. You’ll get room and board. You’ll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again. Ten dollars a week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm before, but he took the job.
From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed and talked. He could do nothing right. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake. The oldest son, 13-year-old Armand, constantly played tricks on him. But the kind-hearted Stanley never responded.
Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spend his nights alone in a tiny bedroom. However, each evening before retiring, he lovingly cared for the farmer’s horses, eagerly awaiting him at the field gate. He called them his gentle giants. On Saturday nights he hitch-hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm.
Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only six months as his farmhand. The railway station master, when questioned later that week, said he had not seen him. In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again. That is, until one evening, almost 20 years later, when Armand, opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline, “Millionaire jockey (賽馬騎師), Stanley Vine, ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion, began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.”
【小題1】Stanley Vine decided to go to Canada because ___________.
| A．he wanted to escape from war-torn France |
| B．he wanted to serve in the Canadian army |
| C．he couldn’t find a job in England |
| D．he loved working as a farmhand |

| C．The Lapine family were very rich but cruel to Stanley. |
| D．Stanely read about the job offer in a newspaper. |
| A．Hitch-hiking to different towns. |
| B．Caring for the farmer’s horses. |
| C．Wandering around the farm alone. |
| D．Preparing meals on the farm. |
| A．He didn’t know Stanley had been a British soldier. |
| B．He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man. |
| C．He didn’t know his father paid Stanley so little money. |
| D．He didn’t expect Stanley to become such a success. |

科目：高中英語 來源：2010屆湖北省高三上學(xué)期模擬考試（三） 題型：閱讀理解
A train sped up through the countryside at 60 mph as a“traveller”relaxes with his newspaper. But this is no businessman taking it easy—the driver of the passenger express（快車）is doing the reading.
A Sunday Express reader caught this Virgin employee on film as the train sped through Derbyshire on its way to Plymouth from Newcastle.
Virgin，which has come under repeated criticism over their rail service, yesterday fired the driver after being shown the photograph. A spokesman said an inquiry（調(diào)查）was under way to make sure exactly what he was doing and why he appeared to have taken his eyes off the track ahead.
The picture comes in the week that the public inquiry into the Southall rail disaster, which claimed seven lives, heard that the driver at the centre of that case had earlier been spotted with his feet on the control button of his cab.
Larry Harrison，who worked for Great Western Trains，drove through two warning signals before crashing at 60 mph into a waiting train.
The reader who took this picture was standing on a bridge outside Chesterfield early one summer’s evening. He said，“I only realized what I’d got when I had the pictures developed. I couldn’t believe it.”
“As far as I could see，there was no one else in the cab with the drive，unless they were hiding, The person with the paper open was certainly sitting in the driver’s normal seat.”
The photographer works on the railways and does not want to be named，but he added，“I’ve seen many drivers with their feet on the control panel but I’ve never seen them reading papers like this. There is an automatic warning system and driver’s safety device which reminds him when he passes yellow and red signals. But you should never take your eyes off the track and rely only on sounds because you could have unexpected objects on the line or suddenly have speed limits given.”
63．Who is the“traveller”mentioned in the first paragraph？
A．A train driver. B．A businessman.
C．A passenger. D．A newspaper reader.
64．The train ______________when the picture was taken.
A．was driving to Plymouth
B．was ready for a picture
C．had seven people on it
D．crashed into another train
65．Who took the picture of the driver of the passenger express？
A．A professional photographer.
B．A newspaper reporter.
C．Another train driver.
D．A member of the railway staff.
66．According to what we have read，we may find this passage most probably______________.
A．a(chǎn)t a train station
B．from a news report
C．from a driver’s safety guide
D．from the police inquiry
