解析
试题分析：本文讲述了在圣诞节时，妈妈送给了奶奶最好的圣诞礼物，奶奶非常感动。
小题1:考查动词。根据该句前半句的意思可知，奶奶家没有电，没有自来水，没有“我”认为的生活中的好东西。第一个谓语和宾语had no...和本空白处应该填的词意思相同。故选B。
小题2: 考查副词。:用also表示“附加”。still表示“依然还”，在此可表示现在还没计划，可能晚些时候会做，很显然不符合上下文的意思。故选A。
小题3:考查动词。remove“取代，拿下”，此处指把自己家的圣诞树上挂着的饰物取下来。replace“取代，替代”，collect“有选择地搜集”。故选C。
小题4:考查短语。along with“一起，一块儿”。此处指母亲把圣诞树上及做一顿完整的火鸡正餐所需要的全部材料一块包装齐备。故选C。
小题5:考查形容词。complete“完整的，完全的”，此时表现了母亲考虑问题周到、细致，把所需要的东西一应俱全准备完备。故选B。
小题6:考查动词。dawn动词，意为“天开始亮，破晓（begin to grow light），开始显露出来”。圣诞节的黎明来的完美，阳光照在刚下的雪上，熠熠生辉。故选A。
小题7:考查连词。景色迷人，一切是如此美好，但主人公的心情非常不好。but表示语气上的转折，天气的晴朗反衬出主人公心情的阴郁。故选A。
小题8:考查短语。make one’s way to固定短语，“朝……走去”。其他三个选项均可以和make构成搭配，但不符合语境。故选B。
小题9:考查形容词。“预料这个圣诞节将会是所度过的最糟糕的圣诞节。”句尾的even意为“曾经”，该句相当于This is going to be the worst Christmas we have ever had.故选D。
小题10:考查形容词。从下文的谈话中可以看出奶奶见到他们非常吃惊，她没有料到这个时候，会有人到她家来。故选C。
小题11:考查代词。anyone用在否定句中表示“任何人”。故选A。
小题12:考查代词。that代表上文奶奶说的内容。that常用来代替上文所提到的内容，this指下面要说的内容，it可以指代某个具体的事物。故选C。
小题13:考查表语从句。why引导的句子作表语，意为“这就是我们带了一只火鸡的原因”。
故选B。
小题14:考查情态动词。从语境和insist这个词来看，需用must，表示“一定要，必须”。故选D。
小题15:考查副词。全句的意思是:我们必须有一棵圣诞树，不然的话，这些装饰物往哪儿放呢？otherwise“否则，不然的话”，meanwhile“同时”，therefore“所以”，however“但是”。故选D。
小题16:考查动词。屋子里放上刚砍来的圣诞树，装饰物被挂在了树上，很快屋里散发出一股清新的气味。smell作不及物动词有“发出……的气味”之意,become,change都有“变化”的意思，become后可跟形容词，但此处意思不符。故选B。
小题17:考查短语。take on意为“开始具有，呈现”。“房子里到处呈现出节日的气氛。”show up“显眼，突出”；carry on“继续执行”；light up“（表情）开朗起来”。故选C。
小题18:考查连词。until用在肯定句中表示动作一直进行到时间状语从句所表示的时间结束。此句意为:直到妈妈带着最后的惊喜进来，我们才想到吃甜点。故选A。
小题19:考查名词。妈妈做的冒着火苗的布丁让奶奶想起了她的过去，她的家乡，所以奶奶高兴得流出了眼泪。joy“快乐，高兴”。其他选项均不合题意。故选B。
小题20:考查短语。我也禁不住流下泪来。keep the tears from one’s eyes相当于keep the tears back from one’s eyes，“阻止泪水流下来”；keep tears back“抑制住眼泪”，但在此和eyes无法连接。故选D。

The man thought to himself: “What a !” So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and began to it. But after he tried a few pieces, he screamed: “Oh, my God!” His eyes watered, his mouth burned, and his face turned . He coughed and choked and gasped for breath.
But despite his , he continued to stuff the fruits into his mouth! Onlookers their heads and laughed. One man yelled: “You’re , man! Those are chilies! People use them as a condiment (佐料). You don’t just eat them by the handful like that; they’re not fruit!” But the man replied: “No, I can’t ! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”
You probably think this man was pretty , right? Nevertheless, I bet you or someone you know makes the same on a daily basis. People invest money, time and effort into a relationship, business or job.

It is no different than being the man who continued eating chilies because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid for them.
Losing something is difficult, but it is important to the loss and move on. you’ll just keep burning your mouth on hot chilies.

Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person— her name was Information Please and there was nothing she did not know. Information Please could supply anybody’s number.
My first personal experience with Information Please came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. I accidentally hit my finger with a hammer. The pain was terrible, but there didn’t seem to be any reason in crying because there was no one home to give sympathy. I walked around the house sucking my hurting finger, finally arriving at the stairway—the telephone! Climbing up I unhooked the receiver and held it to my ear. “Information Please,” I said.
A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear, “Information.”
“I hurt my finger…” I cried. The tears came readily enough now that I had an audience. “Isn’t your mother home?” came the question. “Nobody’s home but me.” I sobbed. “Are you bleeding?” “No,” I replied. “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.” “Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could. “Then chip off a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger.”
After that I called Information Please for everything. I asked her for help with my geography and she told me where Philadelphia was. And there was the time that Petey, our pet canary (金丝雀) died. I called Information Please and told her the sad story. She listened, and then said the usual things grown-ups say to comfort a child. But I was unconsoled. Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a heap of feathers, feet up on the bottom of a cage?
She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, “Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.” Somehow I felt better.
Another day I was on the telephone. “Information Please.” “Information,” said the now familiar voice. “How do you spell fix?” I asked.
All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. Then when I was 9 years old, we moved to Boston. I missed my friend very much. Information Please belonged to that old wooden box in former home, and I somehow never thought of trying the tall, shiny new phone that sat on the hall table.
Yet as I grew into my teens, the memories of those childhood conversations never really left me; often in moments of doubt and sadness I would recall the sense of security I had then. I appreciated now how patient, understanding, and kind she was to have spent her time on a little boy.
A few years later, on my way west to college, my plane put down in Seattle. I had about half an hour or so between planes, and I spent 15 minutes or so on the phone with my sister, who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown operator and said, “Information Please.”
Unexpectedly, I heard again the small, clear voice I knew so well, “Information.” I hadn’t planned this but I heard myself saying, “Could you tell me please how to spell fix?” There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, “I guess that your finger must have healed by now.”
I laughed, “So it’s really still you,” I said. “I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time.”
“I wonder,” she said, “if you know how much your calls meant to me. I never had any children, and I used to look forward to your calls.”
I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again when I came back to visit my sister.
“Please do; just ask of Sally.”
Just three months later I was back in Seattle…. A different voice answered Information and I asked for Sally.
“Are you a friend?” “Yes, a very old friend.” “Then I’m sorry to have to tell you. Sally has been working part-time the last few years because she was sick. She passed away five weeks ago.” But before I could hang up she said, “Wait a minute. Did you say your name was Paul?”
“Yes!”
“Well, Sally left a message for you. She wrote it down. Here it is. I’ll read it. “Tell him I still say there are other worlds to sing in. He’ll know what I mean.”
I thanked her and hung up. I did know what Sally meant.
小题1:According to the text, Information Please is actually ________.
| A．a robot | B．the author’s mother | C．a telephone operator | D．the telephone itself |
| A．call his mother who was visiting a neighbor |
| B．call the doctor for his wounded finger |
| C．find out what exactly lived in the telephone |
| D．find someone to give him sympathy |
| A．too sad to have a talk | B．difficult to deal with somebody |
| C．hard to communicate with somebody | D．unable to accept comfort |
| A．The author didn’t need to feel sad for her death. |
| B．She went to another place to make a living as a singer |
| C．The world without her would still be good to the author. |
| D．The author should explore new worlds for his new life. |
| A．He hadn’t got used to the line service in Boston yet. |
| B．There was something wrong with the new phone. |
| C．He missed Information Please in the old phone so much. |
| D．He didn’t like the tall and shiny style of the new phone. |
He was kind to me, but I had no that he took particular notice of me. There were other kids in the class, and soon I fell back into my usual and thought that I was just a little over average in most things. Near the end of the term, we began to read the play--Macbeth. Believe me, this is not an easy play for high school students to understand, I spent a lot of time reading it. After working till the night before it was due, I wrote a paper about the — the first paper I typed on a typewriter — and turned it the next day.
I got a good on it, and below the grade Mr. Wilson wrote, “Sure you become a writer.” That was it. Those six words were written in his clear and neat handwriting. It was the first time he or anyone had in any way that writing was a option for me. We’d never had any writers in our family line, and we didn’t know any writers personally, even , so writing for a living didn’t seem something to me. But then, just like that, Jay Wilson tapped my hidden and let me see a wider world.
Over the next 10 years, I often about Mr. Wilson’s six words. Whenever I felt discouraged, it was those six words that came back to me and gave me . When a few instructors in college gently and not-so-gently tried to tell me I had no talent, I held Mr. Wilson’s before me to protect myself. I didn’t what anyone else thought. Mr. Wilson, head of the whole English department at Lake Forest High, I could be a writer. So I put my head down and struggled forward. 396

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."

Bryant

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.
