The men talked for hours, of their wives, families, their homes and their jobs. And every afternoon when Alan, in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers. Trees and skyline could be seen in the distance. As he described all this, Henry, on the other side of the room, would close his eyes and imagine the scene.
One warm afternoon Alan described a parade (游行) passing by. Although Henry could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind. Unexpectedly, an alien though: entered his head: why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never got to see anything? It doesn’t seem fair. Henry felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sight, his envy grew and soon let him down. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window ---- and that thought now controlled his life.
Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling. Alan began to cough. He was choking. Henry watched in the dim room as the struggling man tried hard to reach for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence ---- deathly silence.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, Henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he struggled to take his first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He looked out, but faced a black wall.
小题1:Judging from the passenger, the meaning of the underlined word “alien” in Paragraph 3 is ______.
A.disappointing | B.sudden | C.new | D.strange |
A.He was moved to another room. | B.He died. |
C.He switched his bed with Henry. | D.He was very sick. |
A.to see the blank wall |
B.to feel the joy of seeing the outside world |

小题3:B
小题4:A
解析
试题分析:
小题1:D 推理题。根据Unexpectedly, an alien though: entered his head: why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never got to see anything?说明他脑海里有了一个奇怪的想法:为什么他可以看见如此美丽的景色?说明该词指奇怪的,故D正确。
小题2:B 推理题。根据第四段最后两行In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence ---- deathly silence.说明最后Alan死掉了。故B正确。
小题3:B 推理题。根据第三段最后两行可知他渴望到窗户旁边的床位上去看到外面的世界。故B正确。
小题4:A 推理题。根据文章最后一段说明外面什么都没有,Alan描述的那些美景都是他幻想出来的,以鼓起室友活下去的勇气和信心。故他是一个心肠善良,且想象力丰富的人。故A正确。
点评:文章介绍了两个病友主住在一个房间里,其中的一个向另外一个描述窗外美丽的景色,引起了另外一人的嫉妒,最终另外一人发现这一切不过是病友想象出来的。以推理题的考查为主,最主要的方法是根据词义关系推断具体细节。

Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole, with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.
Sometimes we are perfect when we lost something. A man who has everything is a poor man in some ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something better. He will never know someone is loving him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.
We couldn’t be perfect, but we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always live a wonderful time in our lives.

D.could go everywhere |
A.perfect | B.poor | C.happy | D.strong enough |
A.nobody loves us if we give nothing |
B.a man who has everything is the happiest |
C.losing something may not be a bad thing sometimes |
D.we are not whole when we lose something |
I was waiting for my train home at the station when a boy 17 at my side. His beautifully-curved face, his fashionable clothing and everything else about him, was so 18 that I just couldn’t help gazing (注视) at him. What was more 19 was that, he was also stealing some 20 at me, which made me blush (脸红) to the ends of my ears! Still, I tried to be calm and 21 that nothing had happened. However, once again when our eyes met, I could hear my heart 22 wildly, with an inner voice yelling, “Oh, my goodness, he is driving me 23 !” Shortly, I lowered my head to 24 his eyes, but my thoroughly red face had revealed (泄露) 25 .
To my pleasant surprise, my 26 came true this time, as the handsome guy was drawing
27 ! “Oh, please! Don’t 28 . Look at me. I am so sweaty and sloppy (多情的). Please don’t 29 my telephone number. You know I will give it to you without 30 , and that is so unladylike!” I was still struggling and trembling when he 31 right in front of me. “Excuse me...” he said with a slight hesitation. His voice was so nice, but I wish I had not 32 it, for in the end, he said: “I am sorry, but could you please give me my 33 back? Yours is over there.” Oh, my God! Nothing could have been more 34 when I handed his bag back to him, as shame almost brought me to tears.
From that, I drew a big 35 : never imagine too much if someone gives you a few glances.

The kids shifted to face the empty seats, which would be filled in a few days for the church play.“Perfect,” the director said. “Now, Grandma, read to your grandchildren.” A pang of sadness hit me. If" only I could read to my real grandchild!
I had a granddaughter, but I"d never met her. Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly. But out of" it came a blessing: a baby girl named Lena. I hoped to be a grandmother to her-but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left. Over the years, I asked around town to try and find my son’s ex-wife (前妻),but it seemed that she didn’t want to be found.
I"d just joined this new church a week earlier and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play. At least now I could pretend to be a grandma. The rehearsals went well, and finally the day of" the show arrived. The performance was great. “You all looked so natural up there, ”one of" my friends said.
Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments (茶点).I walked over to one of the girls in the play. Rehearsals had been such a whirlwind (一片忙乱) that we never really got to talk. “How"s my granddaughter? ” I joked.
“Fine !” she answered. Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name.
I wasn"t sure I heard the girl"s answer correctly. But it made me ask her another question.“What"s your mother"s name? ”
She told me, I was still in shock.“And what"s your father"s name? ”I asked. She told me.It was my son.
She"d only started going to that church a week before I did. Since that day of "the play, we"ve stayed close. Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma.
