A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had 36 a beautiful sports car in a show room, and knowing his father could well 37 it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day came near, the young man awaited 38_ that his father had bought the car. 39 , on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his 40 study room. His father told him how 41 he was to have such a fine son, and told him how 42 he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully 43 gift box.
Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and 44 a lovely, leather- bound (皮纸封面) Bible(圣经), 45 the young man"s name pressed in gold. 46 , he raised his voice to his father, and said "With 47 your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in 48 . He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very 49 , and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him 50 that graduation day.
Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram（电报） 51 him his father had passed away, and willed（立遗嘱） all his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and 52_ things.
When he arrived at his father"s house, sudden 53 and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father"s important papers and saw the still gift - wrapped Bible _54__as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.
Suddenly, a car key dropped from the back of the 55 . It had a tag (标签) with the date of his graduation on it, and the words PAID IN FULL.

点评：由于完形填空的文章是一个意义相关联的语篇，围绕一个话题论述，因此在行文中词语的重复、替代、复现和同现现象是不可避免的。根据这个原则，某一个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现或同现的相关词，考生可以根据这些词之间的有机联系来确定答案。所以，解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。 |
