题型:不详难度:来源:
Tess was a precocious(早熟) eight-year-old girl when she heard her Mom and Dad taling about her little brother,Andrew.____ __she knw was that he was very sick and they were completely _____money. They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn’t have the money for the doctor’s bills and their house .Only a(n) _____could save him now.
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly(果冻) jar from its hiding place. She poured all the     out on the floor and counted carefully. Three times,even.The total had to be absolutely exact. No      here for mistakes. After carefully placing the coins back in the jar, she slipped out of the back door, and     her way six blocks to a chemist’s.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some     ,but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a noise. Nothing. She cleared her       with the most awful sound she could muster. No good.
Finally the pharmacist asked in an      tone of voice, “What do you want? I’m talking to my brother from Chicago      I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “His name is Andrew and he has something bad      inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry,        I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, his voice        a little.
There was a man there whose clothes were admirable. He asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know” Tess replied with tears in her eyes. “I just know he"s        sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay       it, so I want to use my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered.
“A dollar and eleven cents ― the       price of a miracle for your little brother,” smiled the man, “Take me to        you live. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery (神经外科). The operation was completely        charge and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again and did well.
Mom and Dad were happy but they wonder how much the operation would have       . Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost…one dollar and eleven cents…plus the        of a little child.

小题2:C 考查短语辨析 in need 需要;in short 简而言之;out of 摆脱;sort of 这种。根据下文提到They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn’t have the money for the doctor’s bills 他们将到搬到小公寓去,因为没有钱会账单了,所以他们没有钱了,out of money,没有钱了。
小题3:A 考查名词辨析 miracle 奇迹;doctor 医生;God 上帝;operation 手术。根据第五段提到His name is Andrew and he has something bad        inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him now只有奇迹才能救得了他,所以选A项。
小题4:A 考查名词辨析 change 零钱;jellies果冻;cnadies 糖果;cookies饼干。根据下文提到After carefully placing the coins back in the jar, she slipped out of the back door当她仔细把所以硬币放回罐子,她溜出家。所以她倒出所以零钱,仔细的数。所以选A项。

小题8:D 考查名词辨析 mouth 嘴;eyes 眼;ears 耳朵;throat 咽喉。根据上文提到Tess twisted her feet to make a noise 她动了动脚发出一点噪音,不管用。然后她清了清嗓子,使大劲发出难听的声音,没有用。所以选D项。
小题9:C 考查形容词辨析 anxious 忧虑的;exciting令人兴奋的;annoyed 恼怒的;tired累的。根据下文提到What do you want? I’m talking to my brother from Chicago医生说,你想干什么,我正在和从芝加哥来的弟弟说话,所以医生的态度不耐烦,所以C项符合语境。
小题10:A 考查代词辨析及语境理解 句意 我正在我来自芝加哥的弟弟说话,我们很多年没有见面了。考查定语从句,先行词是my brother ,定语从句是I haven’t seen in ages,seen缺少宾语,故用who来引导。
小题11:D 考查动词辨析 finding 发现;planting 种植;showing展示;growing生长。句意 我的弟弟叫Andrew,在他的大脑时长了一个不好的东西,我父亲说只有奇迹才能救他,奇迹多少钱呢?根据语境得知是soemthing bad growing 分词做后置定语。
小题12:C 考查连词辨析 and 和;or else否则;but 但是;or 否则。句意 我们这不卖奇迹,对不起,我不能帮到你。but不可以省略,因为英文中两个句子是不可直接相连接的。必须用连词连接所以选C项。

小题15:B 考查介词辨析及语境理解 。句意:但是我的爸爸没有钱了,因此我想用我的钱。根据上文提到为了给弟弟治病家里几乎没有钱了,pay for sth 支付…的费用,所以选B项。
小题16:B 考查形容词辨析 actual 实际的;exact确切的;average 平均的;true真的。根据上文提到小女孩说她只有一美元十一美分。所以这个男人笑着说,一美元十一美分就是奇迹的价格,这点钱恰恰就是奇迹的价格,所以选B项。
小题17:D 考查名词辨析 the place 地点;the apartment 公寓;the complex 联合体。句意:带我去你住 的地方,让我看看你需要什么样的奇迹。根据上文提到They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn’t have the money for the doctor’s bills得知她住在the complex,所以选D项。
小题18:B 考查短语及语境理解 句意:这位身穿深色西装、佩戴红色领带的人就是神经外科专家卡尔顿·阿姆斯特朗医生。安德烈斯的手术完全免费,他在芝加哥住院期间也没有被收取任何费用。Free of charge 免费。
小题19:C 考查动词辨析 spent a花费;paid 支付;cost 花费;took 花费。句意:爸爸妈妈很高兴但他们想知道手术花了多少钱。cost的主语必须是某物sth.cost (sb.) some money,所以选C项。

核心考点
试题【Tess was a precocious(早熟) eight-year-old girl when she heard her Mom and Dad tal】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Twelve years ago, when I was 50,I wondered what 60 or 70 would be like? I looked around and saw only one style of living. It’s not fair, I thought. Young people have so many styles to choose from, but older people have just one choice. So I decide to do something about it , something practical.
I worked on my fitness by joining exercise classes in town. A few years later, my husband and I moved to a retirement community, and I wanted to teach aerobic(有氧运动的)classes. The community center wouldn’t give me a room to teach in, so I had to walk around and find any available empty room.
One day, the community center staff came to me and asked if I would help with the entertainment for a Hawaiian luau(夏威夷式宴会)they were putting on. I said yes. Then I talked five other ladies into dancing with me. We performed the hula(呼啦舞)and a war chant and brought the house down. Someone had a camera and took pictures, and then sent them to our local paper. We got requests for more engagements, which in turn led to more publicity and yet more engagements. Soon we had invitations from all over the country. The Dancing Grannies were born!
I think the real secret of the Dancing Grannies is out attitude. I was raised extremely poor ---no-food poor. If we wanted toys we had to make things up to play with ,so I learned early to be very creative. And you know,I think being poor was one of the best things that ever happened to me because I learned to look for treasures.
That’s what I’m still doing today—looking for the treasure in growing old. I’m getting better and better.
It’s true that antiques have to be treated a bit differently, with a little care, but they still have a beauty of their own. 
小题1:What did the writer think of the living style of the older people when she was 50?
A.UnsatisfyingB.FavorableC.PleasantD.Practical
小题2:Why did the writer have to walk around and find an empty room?
A.Because she couldn’t offer an expensive room.
B.Because she wasn’t given a room to teach in by the community center.
C.Because she wanted to find a better one.
D.Because she wanted to keep fit by walking.
小题3:What can we infer from the writer’s performance?  
A.It was just so-so.B.It was a failure.
C.It was average.D.It was a success.
小题4:What made the writer learn to look for treasures?
A.Being activeB.Being creative
C.Being richD.Being poor
小题5:What does the underlined word “antiques” (in the last paragraph) refer to?  
A.Ancient treasuresB.Poor children
C.Old peopleD.The Dancing Grannies

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this      .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and      . All the students were working       a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no       of stopping. I walked down the row and found       was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my      , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on       I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to      .
After another ten minutes, the students were       to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox. Then Donna     hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to      . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the       of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and       your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to       the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is       by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in      . Amen!”
She turned the students       and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the       of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student       and said, “I Can’t,” Donna       pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

But when it came to     of their problems, things got a little strange. They all claimed to have headaches, but the headaches weren’t       by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still.
Something was wrong. Our hospital policy,       , was not to turn away any patient. I explained it might be a little while       a doctor saw her. She responded immediately, even a bit       “Take your time,” and then added, “It’s warm in here.”
Then, I checked their registration form out of curiosity. No address—they were      .The waiting room was warm.

Jerry was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.” I reflected on what Jerry said. Later, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life.
Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, he forgot the password, nervous. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments(碎片) of the bullets still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.” “Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?” I asked. Jerry continued, “The doctors and nurses were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. I knew I needed to take action.”
“What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a big, strong nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic (过敏的)to anything. “Yes,” I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, “Bullets!” Over their laughter, I told them. “I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.”
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
