On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book.
During his talk, Jack 41 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?” 42 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 43 . But I jumped up, ran up the 44 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, 45 raced through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 46 security guards and take me from the stage? 47 my desire for bold (大膽的)action was louder than any 48 voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the 49 to come to us. We must take 50 to create what we want!’’
After his talk, I 51 to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next months, I sent him emails 52 my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy 53 other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant arrow that would show me the way.
I e-mailed him, and then again — but got no 54 . As I sat down at my computer to 55 my e-mails, I 56 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 57 that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs.
Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We 58 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 59 way. So we don’t try. We 60 . But as Wayne Gretzky said,“You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.

【解析】
試題分析:作者通過(guò)講述了參加成功人士jack的一次講座的難忘經(jīng)歷及講座結(jié)束后作者通過(guò)兩人的交往心得,說(shuō)明一個(gè)道理:機(jī)會(huì)稍縱即逝,不要去被動(dòng)的等待機(jī)會(huì),而是應(yīng)該主動(dòng)去抓住機(jī)會(huì)。
1.上下文串聯(lián)。從下文中提到他拿出一張100美元的支票可以推斷出此處是指他伸手去掏錢(qián)包,故填reach for伸手去夠,伸手去拿。 bring in引進(jìn),賺錢(qián);take over負(fù)責(zé),接管;handed in上交,均不符合題意。
2.上下文串聯(lián)及常識(shí)。上文提到 他拿出一張100美元的支票問(wèn)誰(shuí)要,根據(jù)常識(shí)肯定很多人都會(huì)快速的舉起手要,與shot up連接起來(lái)表示“迅猛舉起手來(lái)”。故應(yīng)填hands.Cheers歡呼聲;Shouts叫喊聲;Heads頭均與shot up 搭配不當(dāng)。
3.上下文串聯(lián)。上文提到很多人都舉手要那100美元,因此他們探著身子想知道Jack會(huì) choose(選擇)誰(shuí)。offer提供;trust信任;like 喜歡.

5.從破折號(hào)后面的一連串的疑問(wèn)句,從內(nèi)容上看都是作者的內(nèi)心想法。故此處是指作者很多想法在腦海中縈繞。故選A。thoughts想法,思想;opinions觀點(diǎn);ideas主意,辦法;plans計(jì)劃。
6.根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境,此處是指作者懷疑他們會(huì)打電話給保安過(guò)來(lái)把他拉走。故應(yīng)該使用call。ask問(wèn),要求ask sb to do sth 要求某人做某事。demand要求;order命令
7.上下文串聯(lián)。從下文 I got the bill from his hand說(shuō)明作者的行動(dòng)戰(zhàn)勝了懷疑,故此處與上文作者的懷疑態(tài)度構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故選C
8.上下文串聯(lián)。從上文一連串的疑問(wèn)句可以看出作者當(dāng)時(shí)猶豫,矛盾的心理,但最終他內(nèi)心渴望大膽的行動(dòng)聲音戰(zhàn)勝了懷疑的聲音。故選doubtful懷疑的;noisy吵鬧的;meaningful有意義的;helpful有益的,有幫助的。
9.原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。從文章最后一段You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!可以看出此處是指:我們不能等著機(jī)會(huì)自己找上門(mén)來(lái)。故選opportunities機(jī)會(huì)。Consequences結(jié)果; results結(jié)果;aims目的。

13.固定搭配。be busy with sth 或be busy in doing sth忙于做某事。根據(jù)后面所接的詞為other things.故填with。About和over不與be busy搭配。

I once heard someone say, “We don’t remember days; we remember moments.” However, in today’s busy life we often forget to enjoy small pleasures while we make big plans.
In the race to be better or best, we sometimes lose sight of “just being”. And just being and enjoying a beautiful moment can provide some of life’s greatest pleasures. A fire on a cold winter night, a good book, an impressive sunset, a great meal, or a timeless moment with your child or a friend ... these moments, if we stop long enough to enjoy, are the essence (本質(zhì)) of life.
I love to fish, especially for large-mouth bass (鱸魚(yú)). About three years ago I was watching television late at night and got this crazy idea to go fishing in the lake behind my house. Of course, my wife thought I was nuts. It was almost midnight! I told her I was fine and took off.
I walked out to a warm summer breeze and looked up at the starry sky and breathtaking full moon. I allowed my senses to soak (浸泡) in every second — the sweet smell of flowers, the sound of every cricket (蟋蟀), the moon’s reflection dancing off the water — it was a perfect night.
After walking across a small field, I took out a flashlight, and selected a lure (餌). On my first cast I got a bass weighing over five pounds, one of the largest I had ever caught. I gently put it back into the water and continued my midnight adventure. During the next two hours I caught seventeen bass, all between two and five pounds. Although I’ve fished for almost fifty years, no fishing memory can top that night.
But that night provided far more than a fishing memory. It was a life memory. It provided me a picture of what life could be like if I just slowed down enough to enjoy the moments. On my way back to the house, as I walked through the tall grass, I took one last look at the sky and stopped to say, “Thank you, God, for giving me this night.”
The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. suggest people should make big plans
B. tell people to do what they like
C. advise people to enjoy beautiful moments
D. encourage people to follow their dreams
What does the underlined word “nuts” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Determined. B. Ill. C. Tired. D. Crazy.
The fourth paragraph is mainly about ______.
A. the description of the night
B. the author’s fishing experience
C. the author’s attitude towards life
D. what the author did that night
We can learn from the passage that night the author ______.
A. caught fewer fish than before
B. enjoyed real small pleasures
C. went to bed around 1:00 am
D. went fishing with his wife

For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news.
As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England.
However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub’s landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.
That’s how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信貸緊縮) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.
This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm. Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.
In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Men's Clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.
