题型:不详难度:来源:
This was my grandmother"s first Christmas without grandfather, and before he passed away we had promised grandfather that we would make this her best Christmas ever. When my parents and I             at her house, we found she had waited up all night for us. The house did seem a little           without grandfather.
Grandfather had always said that the Christmas           was the most important decoration of all. So we immediately set to work on the beautiful artificial tree that was stored in grandfather"s closet (壁橱). Through our efforts, we finally stepped back to             our handiwork. It looked beautiful.           something was missing.
"Where" s your star?" I asked.
The star was my grandmother" s favorite part of the tree.
"Why, it           be here somewhere," she said, starting to sort through the boxes again. "Your grandfather always           everything so carefully when he took the tree down."
As we emptied the boxes and          no star, my grandmother"s eyes filled with tears. Grandfather had given it to grandmother some fifty years ago on their first Christmas together. It brought them great happiness. Now, on her first Christmas without him, the star was          , too.
"Don" t worry, Grandmother," I           her. "We"ll find it for you."
My mother and I formed a search          . "Let" s start in on the closet where the ornaments (装饰品) were," Mother said. "Maybe the star just fell out of the box. "
That sounded         , so I began to search the closet. I thought I tried every        , but no star. I could see grandmother was          , although she tried not to show it.
"What"s in this wrapped box?" Mother suddenly called out. "It was at the bottom of father"s closet. "
Grandmother took the box in           and opened it. Her face           when she unfolded the paper and pulled out a golden star. There was a(n)           attached.
Don" t be angry with me, dear. I broke your star while packing the decorations, and I couldn"t           to tell you. Thought it was time for a new one. I hope it brings you as much         as the first one. Merry Christmas!
Love,
Bryant
So grandmother"s tree had a star after all, a star that expressed their everlasting love for one another. And we were glad we were able to make this Christmas           for her.

举一反三
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in the blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. The airline had announced her        and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, “I love you. I wish you enough.” She        said, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.” They kissed and she left.
He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to       . I tried not to interrupt him, but he        me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?”
“Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” “I am        and she lives much too far away. I have        ahead, and the reality is, the next trip back will be for my funeral” he said.
“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?”
He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been        for many generations within my family. My parents        say it to everyone.”
He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it       , and then he smiled and        the following:
  “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
  I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
  I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
  I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much       .
  I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
  I wish you enough        to appreciate all that you possess.
  I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you enough the final ‘Good-byes’.”
  Then he walked away, leaving me lost in thought.

It was a perfect day, just the right kind of day to go fishing
My 13-year-old son Jonathan and I had been     this trip for weeks, and now we were sitting on the shore of a beautiful lake.
We     and talked, and then, suddenly, I saw small waves     my float(浮子)had been. I waited, thinking it would pop right back up again, but the float stayed     the water and my heart started to beat    .After a few more seconds, my fishing rod was suddenly pulled off the stick it was leaning on    me and it was being     towards the water.
I firmly caught hold of the fishing rod and lifted it up. This fish was    ! Slowly, my son balanced on two rocks and leaned down to get the giant off the fishhook.
For just one second, he lost his     and reached up with his right hand to steady   . At that moment, our huge fish got off the fishing line and started to swim    
I saw teas streaming down Jonathan"s face. "Dad, I"m sorry. I"ll never be able to   this up to you." I reached out and put my hands on his shoulders. I said the following     almost without thinking. "Jon, how did you feel    I was reeling(往卷轴上绕起)that fish in? Were you excited?" He nodded and said,"Dad,I"ve never been so   in my whole life!”I repied,
"Jon, wasn’t that about the most fun we"ve ever had together?" He nodded his head in    
Then I said, "So, why should we let a fish getting away     possibly the best experience we"ve ever had? Let’s be happy about the fun we did have."
My son,     his arms around me, said,"Dad, I love you so much!”1     him back and said softly into his ear, "I love you too, Jon."
We     did catch that big fish. But I"ve known ever since that I didn"t let the most important thing get away that day.

I always remembered the first time I took part in an English composition competition. “Right! Dean would be the        of our class to participate in the English composition competition,” my classmates said. (Applauding)
I was too       to speak when I heard what my classmates said. In order not to    short of my classmates’      , I trained myself very hard for the hope of being the      of the competition, which would take place a month later. I     a lot of vocabulary, sentence structures and        rules and read many good or renowned articles. Not having I       pretty well, the day came. Every candidate     me looked so well – prepared and       . “Only 1.5 hours. Start,” a supervisor suddenly said. Seeing the      “What do most teenagers concern nowadays?” I was nervous and got     block. What’s worse, other candidates had begun writing. Moments later, I        myself, took a deep breath, and began brainstorming ideas      the topic. I quickly wrote down the composition structure, central theme, and     necessary elements. As the finishing time was     , I tried my best to accelerate my writing. Unfortunately,       my failure of time management, I left my composition incomplete. My final draft looked like a robot      legs were broken.
The result came out two weeks later. To my surprise, I got the second prize! All my classmates cheered for me. This encouraged me a lot.       I was not the first prize winner, I could still      the scent of pride and happiness spreading around me.

“How lucky you are to be a doctor…” Anyone who’s a doctor is right out of luck, I thought. Anyone who’s studying medicine should have his head examined.
You may think I want to change my job. Well, at the moment I do. As one of my friends says-even doctors have a few friends-it’s all experience. Experience! I don’t need such experience. I need a warm, comfortable, undisturbed bed of my own. I need it badly. I need all telephones to be thrown down the nearest well, that’s what I need.
All these thoughts fly round my head as I drive my Mini(微型汽车) through the foggy streets of East London at 3:45 a.m. on a December morning. I am a ministering angel in a Mini with a heavy coat and a bag of medicines. As I speed down Lea Bridge in the dark at this horrible morning hour, the heater first blowing hot then cold, my back aching from the car-seat, I do not feel like a ministering angel. I wish I were on the beach in southern France. Call me a bad doctor if you like. Call me what you will. But don’t call me at half past three on a December morning for an ear-ache that you have had for two weeks.
Of course, being a doctor isn’t really all bad. We do have our moments. Once in a while people are ill, once in a while you can help, once in a while you get given a cup of tea and rock-hard cake at two o’clock in the morning-then you worry if you have done everything. But all too often ‘everything’ is a repetitious rule: look, listen, feel, tap, pills, injection, phone, ambulance, away to the next.
And then there is always the cool, warm voice of the girl on the switchboard of the emergency bed service who will get your patient into hospital for you-the pleasant voice that comes to you as you stand in the cold, dark, smelly, dirty telephone box somewhere in a dangerous section of town. Oh, it has its moments, this life does.
小题1:According to the sentence “Anyone who’s studying medicine should have his head examined,” we know that ___________.
A.a medical student should have a very good memory
B.a doctor must be mentally strong so that he can meet any difficult situation
C.the writer thinks that those who want to be doctors are crazy
D.to be a doctor is a challenge for people’s mental health
小题2:Which of the following statements is NOT true?

B.One of his friends says that being a doctor helps one gain all sorts of experience.
C.He hates the telephone as a modern means of communication.
D.He is not happy with the small and uncomfortable car he is driving.
小题3:The statement “We do have our moments” could best be replaced by “___________”.
A.we doctors are called at a moment’s notice to see people who need medical treatment
B.usually we are glad that we can do something to help the sick
C.sometimes we find people are thankful for our help
D.there are chances that doctors find their work rewarding and satisfying
小题4:From the whole passage we know that the writer _____________.
A.is a bad doctor, unwilling to make a house call during the night-time
B.is so dissatisfied with his job that he wishes to find a new one
C.is satisfied with his job but he hates to be called out unnecessarily
D.thinks a doctor can enjoy certain special rights whether he felt lucky or not
小题5:We can conclude that        .

B.the author is annoyed to be called out at such an horrible morning hour for an ear – ache patient
C.the author is now heading for the beach in Southern France for his holidays

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another      was on the way, she did what she could to help her three-year-old son, Michael,        for a new life. They found out that the new baby was going to be a girl, and every day Michael sang to his        in Mommy’s tummy.
The days went by. The little girl got        after the birth. The doctor told the parents, “There is very        hope. Be prepared for the worst.” They had fixed up a special         in their home for the new baby, but now they        a funeral.
Michael kept begging his parents to let him see his sister. “I want to        to her,” he said. If he didn’t see sister now, he might never see her     . She dressed him in an oversized suit and marched him into ICU, but the head nurse        him as a child and shouted. “Get the kid out of here now! No children are     .” The mother rose up strong, and the       mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed into the head nurse’s face. “He is not leaving     he sings to his sister!” Karen towed Michael to his sister’s bedside. He gazed at the tiny infant         the battle to live, and he began to sing. In the pure        voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang:
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray....”
Instantly the baby girl        . The pulse rate became calm and steady.
“You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my        away.”
“The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I        I held you in my arms.....”
Michael’s little sister relaxed.
The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of God’s       !
NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. LOVE IS SO        POWERFUL.
