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 (大胆的)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.
Now what are you waiting for?

解析
试题分析:作者通过讲述了参加成功人士jack的一次讲座的难忘经历及讲座结束后作者通过两人的交往心得,说明一个道理:机会稍纵即逝,不要去被动的等待机会,而是应该主动去抓住机会。
小题1:上下文串联。从下文中提到他拿出一张100美元的支票可以推断出此处是指他伸手去掏钱包,故填reach for伸手去够,伸手去拿。 bring in引进,赚钱;take over负责,接管;handed in上交,均不符合题意。
小题2:上下文串联及常识。上文提到他拿出一张100美元的支票问谁要,根据常识肯定很多人都会快速的举起手要,与shot up连接起来表示“迅猛举起手来”。故应填hands.Cheers欢呼声;Shouts叫喊声;Heads头均与shot up 搭配不当。
小题3:上下文串联。上文提到很多人都举手要那100美元,因此他们探着身子想知道Jack会 choose(选择)谁。offer提供;trust信任;like 喜欢.
小题4:根据下文stage(舞台)可以得知是在较高处,因此作者是跳上台阶(steps)。Path小路,小道 road 道路; steps台阶;route路线。
小题5:从破折号后面的一连串的疑问句,从内容上看都是作者的内心想法。故此处是指作者很多想法在脑海中萦绕。故选A。thoughts想法,思想;opinions观点;ideas主意,办法;plans计划。
小题6:根据上下文语境,此处是指作者怀疑他们会打电话给保安过来把他拉走。故应该使用call。ask问,要求ask sb to do sth 要求某人做某事。demand要求;order命令
小题7:上下文串联。从下文 I got the bill from his hand说明作者的行动战胜了怀疑,故此处与上文作者的怀疑态度构成转折关系,故选C
小题8:上下文串联。从上文一连串的疑问句可以看出作者当时犹豫,矛盾的心理,但最终他内心渴望大胆的行动声音战胜了怀疑的声音。故选doubtful怀疑的;noisy吵闹的;meaningful有意义的;helpful有益的,有帮助的。
小题9:原词复现。从文章最后一段You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!可以看出此处是指:我们不能等着机会自己找上门来。故选opportunities机会。Consequences结果; results结果;aims目的。
小题10:考查固定搭配。Take steps/measures/action to do sth 采取措施做某事,故选D. Way方法,手段,不与take搭配。
小题11:上下文串联。从下文可以看出作者和Jack有了交往,说明此处是指设法成功的会见了jack。Manage to do sth 设法做成功某事。Expect to do sth期待做某事;try to do sth 努力做某事;permit 不能直接接不定式,permit sb to do sth允许某人做某事。
小题12:固定搭配。Share sth with sb 与某人分享某事。根据语境,此处是指作者通过电子邮件与Jack一起分享他的观点和梦想。State陈述;describe描述;present呈现,展示;share分享。
小题13:固定搭配。be busy with sth 或be busy in doing sth忙于做某事。根据后面所接的词为other things.故填with。About和over不与be busy搭配。
小题14:上下文串联。前段提到作者每次都会写邮件Jack,谈论他的观点和梦想,jack每次都 kindly e-mailed back,而本段中提到我再次写邮件给他时,用了转折词but,说明是他没有回复我,故选择response(回应,回复)。news消息;message消息,口信;reaction反应
小题15:check意为“检查;核对”,强调检验事物是否与预料中的现象或者标准一致examine意为“仔细检查;心细查看”,以找出线索或发现问题。此外,它意为“对…进行考试”, inspect 检验;视察review复习。
小题16:上文提到作者一直在等待着Jack回邮件,而当他坐在电脑旁查邮件的时候,他想起当年听Jack讲座时那一百美元的事儿,他顿悟了。故此处应该使用suddenly突然。gradually逐渐地;immediately 立刻,马上;slowly慢慢地。
小题17:上下文串联。前后呼应。文章第二段提到很多听讲座的人都举手,说明他们都渴望那张百元支票。故选desire渴望; claim声称,要求;beg乞求;dream做梦。
小题18:下文提到“会100%的错过机会,说明“认为一切事情都会以想当然的,自然的方式到来而不去尝试”是错误的认识,故选C。Particularly特别,尤其;honestly老实说;correctly正确的
小题19:从下文So we don’t try我们不去尝试,可以推断:是因为我们认为一切事情都会以想当然的,自然的方式到来,即我们存在等待的心理。故选择D自然的。 difficult困难的; impressive给人印象深刻的;early早的
小题20:从前文So we don’t try可以推断出我们放弃了。故选give up(放弃)。put up举起,张贴;take up从事,占据;set up建立。

Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to 34 on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to 35 the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy.

For the next week, every time I was in the 15 , I found a pea——in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept 16 . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and 17__ 12 frozen peas hidden underneath.
At the time I found those few remaining 18 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful __19 I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded 20 those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my 21 had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had scattered(分散). My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble 22 his new surroundings and the 23 of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered.
When life gets you 24 , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never 25 , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be 26 , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas 27 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them 28 you’ll start to feel whole again.
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to 29 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, 30 will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
“Tom, no!” shouted his father.
But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.
Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws(爪子)got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
“Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.
The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.
小题1:Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?
A.To get ready to fight. | B.To frighten it away. |
C.To protect the boy. | D.To cool down. |
A.They are afraid of noises. |
B.They hesitate before they hit. |
C.They are bigger than we think. |
D.They like to attack running people. |
A.The cougar jumped from the rock. |
B.Tom struggled free of his father. |
C.Jeb asked Tom to get the knife. |
D.Jeb held Tom across his body. |
