Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled 38 from behind me. A man got out and offered to 39 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（纹身）on his arm, I became 40 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But 41 I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the 42 . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had 43 me.
Then, without 44 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I 45 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much 46 when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my 47 , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you 48 with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he 49 at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.
The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he 50 it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they 51 . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my 52 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same 53 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I 54 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a 55 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

解析
试题分析：作者的车在途中瘪胎，一名陌生的男子主动提供帮助。他的外貌让作者提心吊胆，后来作者才发觉对方并无恶意，而且他还帮作者换好了轮胎，作者深深为自己以貌取人的做法感到羞愧。
小题1:C上句提到车胎瘪了，所以作者不得不停下来用工具解决这个问题。此处fix表示“修理”。
小题2:B作者穿着白色的衬衣和套装，处理这样的问题当然不“容易”。
小题3:A突然一辆车在作者身后停了下来。此处pull up表示“(使车)停下”。
小题4:D一名男子从车里走出来，主动“帮助”作者。7空后面的内容是线索提示。
小题5:B作者看到他那令人讨厌的外貌和胳膊上的文身后，脑海中闪现出打劫的场景，开始“害怕”起来。A项表示“气馁的”，C项表示“失望的”，D项表示“吃惊的”，均不符合语境。
小题6:D作者还“没有来得及”说任何话，他已经开始接过工具忙碌起来。before表示“在……之前”。
小题7:A文章开头部分提到作者的车胎瘪了，所以那位男子是在更换“车胎”。
小题8:B作者看到男子的第一反应是抢劫，此时又注意到车中还坐着另外一个人，自然感到非常“担心”。此处concern 表示“让(某人)担忧”。
小题9:A随后，没有任何“先兆”，天开始下雨。warning“先兆”。
小题10:D根据作者见到这名男子后的反应可推测作者“不情愿地”同意了对方的建议。
小题11:C作者原以为会遭遇抢劫，想不到车中坐的是一位老太太，因此感到非常“宽慰”。
小题12:C上一句提到作者猜想这位老太太一定是男子的妈妈，此处指出她是男子的邻居，由此可知作者感到非常“惊讶”。
小题13:D老太太告诉作者当Jeff看到作者“吃力地”修理车胎时，就坚持要停下来。struggle“吃力地进行”。
小题14:D根据上一句中的内容可推测男子是“自愿”在教堂从事义务劳动。另外，本句后半部分提到的他对贫困学生的帮助也是线索提示。
小题15:A上一段的后半部分提到他免费帮助老太太，还经常做义务服务，由此可知他理所当然地“拒绝”了作者给他的酬劳。
小题16:C第二段的前半部分提到作者是在看到他的外貌和胳膊上的文身后才联想到了抢劫，所以此处是为自己以“貌”取人感到羞愧。
小题17:B作者根据Jeff的外貌判断他是想抢劫，想不到对方是在真心帮助自己，所以作者为自己的“愚蠢”道歉。
小题18:C作者见到男子的第一想法是抢劫，由此可知男子经常经历同样的“反应”。
小题19:B男子说外貌看起来像他那样的人不做好事，他“实际上”考虑过改变这种形象。
小题20:A由下文男子留给人们的问题可知男子把这看做是一次证明一种看法的机会，此处point表示“看法，观点”。
点评：本文要求考生具有扎实的英语词组、短语、习惯用法等英语搭配的知识，这对于理解文章的逻辑关系特别有利。文章的逻辑关系不外乎列举、原因、结果、让步、对照、补充、目的、条件等关系。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、上义词、下义词和概括词等。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。

举一反三
Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials — unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.
Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and down-to-earth. Read his Facebook and you realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed bore. He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it.
Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to lull. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He’s doing well — level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies — and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?
Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.
In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.
I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine lunatic(狂人)on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t up to his standards?
小题1:Who is opposed to the H1N1 vaccine in the text?
| A．Fred. | B．Andy. | C．Liz. | D．Chris. |
| A．He’s running his company. |
| B．He’s playing golf all day. |
| C．He’s looking for another job. |
| D．He’s playing computer games. |
| A．present another side of people |
| B．offer some food for free |
| C．show endless advertisements |
| D．get you to more parties |
| A．giving examples | B．following the time order |
| C．listing figures | D．raising questions |
| A．what is Facebook | B．what happened to golf |
| C．who is my real friend | D．who can help me |
Late one morning in 1984, headed for lunch in San Francisco, I drove toward a booth. I heard loud music. It sounded like a party. I looked around. No other cars with their windows open. No sound trucks. I looked at the toll booth. Inside it, the man was dancing.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I"m having a party," he said.
"What about the rest of the people?" I looked at the other toll booths.
He said, "What do those look like to you?" He pointed down the row of toll booths.
"They look like……toll booths. What do they look like to you?"
He said, "Vertical coffins. At 8:30 every morning, live people get in. Then they die for eight hours. At 4:30, like Lazarus from the dead, they reemerge and go home. For eight hours, brain is on hold, dead on the job. Going through the motions."
I was amazed. This guy had developed a philosophy, a mythology about his job. Sixteen people dead on the job, and the seventeenth, in precisely the same situation, figures out a way to live. I could not help asking the next question: "Why is it different for you? You"re having a good time."
He looked at me. "I knew you were going to ask that. I don"t understand why anybody would think my job is boring. I have a corner office, glass on all sides. I can see the Golden Gate, San Francisco, and the Berkeley hills. Half the Western world vacations here……and I just stroll in every day and practice dancing."
小题1:According to the first paragraph, in most cases, how do you describe the relationship between drivers and toll booth?
| A．most intimate | B．very tense | C．pretty ordinary | D．extremely hostile |
A. To attend a party
B. B. To have a meal
C. To dance with the worker in the toll booth
D. To hand in the repair fee of his car
小题3:The underlined name “Lazarus” mentioned in the eighth paragraph probably refers to a person___________.
A. who was very active in his life
B. B. who was dead and revived from death
C. who was going to San Francisco
D. who liked dancing at work
小题4:According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
| A．The author passed by the toll booth every day. |
| B．The worker enjoyed his work very much. |
| C．Only western people like to spend their holidays in the Berkeley hills. |
| D．The dancing worker was getting badly along with his colleagues. |
| A．go to the worker’s senior to complain about his bad attitude towards job. |
| B．go climbing the Golden Gate and the Berkeley hills to have a vacation. |
| C．learn to take a positive attitude to job and appreciate valuable things in life. |
| D．go back home instead of wasting time traveling to San Francisco. |
"Isn"t it beautiful?" said my wide-eyed 7~year-old daughter. I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really was not that beautiful, but I did not want to disappoint Sarah. Everything children see for the first time is elementary to their sense of beauty and creativity. They see only merit (忧点) and excellence in the world.
"Why does it do this?" Sarah asked. I like to teach my children that there is something else going on besides what they see in front of them. "Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves," I explained.
"Why do they need to renew themselves?" Sarah asked. "We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with," I said to my now absorbed daughter. "We outgrow some things and find other stuff unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too old, and the snake probably doesn"t think it looks as smart in the skin as it once did. Like buying a new suit. "
Of course, I"m sure this explanation won"t suit naturalists. But Sarah got the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, and rooms and schoolwork and creativity, and she began to see what we need to keep and what need to cast off. I was careful to point out that this is a natural process, not one to be forced.
"Snakes don"t peel off their skin when they feel like it," I explained. "lt happens as part of their growth. "
"I see, Dad. " said Sarah. She then jumped off my lap, grabbed the snakeskin, and ran off.
I hoped she would remember this. Often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture we are cloaked (掩饰) in year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless, unnecessary, or flawed (有缺陷的); or at best, remember the things we discard（丢掉）to teach us how we can improve.
小题1:When Sarah asked the author whether the snakeskin was beautiful,___________
| A．he was shocked and jumped |
| B．he tried to understand her point of view |
| C．he thought that telling the truth was a merit |
| D．he decided to teach her something about the garden |
| A．Confused. | B．Boreci | C．Satisfied. | D．Excited. |
| A．By reflecting on ourselves, we can better ourselves. |
| B．It is necessary to force others to remove some things. |
| C．The community and culture force us to change. |
| D．It is natural to keep some old clothes. |
| A．does not like nature much |
| B．takes the chilcl"s feelings lightly |
| C．is both a logical and thoughtful person |
| D．loves to see his daughter excited about animals |
| A．The things we should cast off | B．A shed snakeskin in Sarah"s eyes |
| C．A natural part of our growth | D．Renewal for snakes and us |
The turning point of my life was my decision to give up a promising business career and study music. My parents, sharing my love of music, _16_____ of it as a profession. This was understandable in view of the family __17____. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years and earned barely enough to __18____ for his large family. My father often said it was only the hardheaded thriftiness of my grandmother that helped the family live a life. As a(an) __19___ of this example in the family, my mention of music as a profession carried with it a picture of an existence with __20____ financial rewards. My parents insisted upon college instead of a conservatory of a career of music, and so finally I went to college quite happily.
Before my graduation from Columbia, the family met with severe financial problems and I felt it my duty to __21____ college and take a job. Thus was I started a business career – which I always think of as the wasted years.
Now I do not for a moment mean to disparage business. My whole point I is that it was not for me. I went into it for __22___, and apart from the satisfaction of being able to help the family, money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by. From being merely dissatisfied I became really ___23___. I knew what I wanted is to save enough to __24____ and go to Europe to study ___25__. I used to get up at dawn to practice before I left for “downtown”, disappointing my poor mother by eating a hurried breakfast at the last minute. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, saved enough to __26____ me to go abroad. And, by now, the family didn’t need my help any longer. I ended my business career, feeling like a man released from prison, and sailed for Europe. I stayed four years, worked harder than ever and ___27___ every minute of it.
“Enjoyed” is too mild a word. I walked on air. I really lived. I was a __28____ man and I was doing what I loved to do and what I was meant to do.
If I had stayed in business, I might be a __29____ man today, but I do not believe I would have made a success of living. I would have given up all those inner satisfactions, which money can never buy.
When I broken away from business, it was against the advice of all my friends and family. Most of us are so accustomed to the association of success with money__30___the thought of giving up a good income for an idea seemed rather crazy. If so, all I can say is “Ah! It’s great to be crazy.”

Five or six years after high school graduation, I was reading carefully the shelves of a local auto supply shop when I noticed someone familiar enter the store. I knew him. He was in my graduation class and although he was not a good friend of mine, we had shared many classes and knew each other well. I began to feel an increasing sense of foreboding（预感）and quickly hid behind the nearest shelving unit. I should have known his name. How many times had I heard it during class role call? How many conversations had we had in the hallways?
I easily remembered his surname, “Ricca”. His was a large, well know family in the town of my childhood. I couldn’t have just acknowledged him using his surname. I might as well have admitted forgetting his name, which was not a choice. One’s name is important to every person’s identity. Not remembering an old acquaintance’s name is similar to forgetting your wife’s favourite flower, an embarrassing mistake of the highest order.
I quickly ran through the alphabet (字母表), a strategy I developed for just such an occasion. Abe? No, Adam, Andy, Bob? No, Bill? Yes! Bill sounded right. Of course, his name is Bill. I confidently made my way around the shelves and spoke to him as he was studying some cans of motor oil.
“Bill, how are you doing?”, I said offering him my hand which he took with a friendly shake. We talked a bit, some amusing remarks about our college experiences and such. I took his hand again, said how good it was to see him and gave him a happy wave, calling him by name again, as I left.
I was so pleased that I avoided yet another awkward encounter(相遇) that I could feel a big smile on my face as I paid the cashier and exited the store. As I marched merrily across the parking lot, an awful thought came into my mind. John, his name is John! Where did Bill come from? Was that one of my brothers? The sudden realization of what I did made me stop in my tracks. My head dropped when I realized my mistake. There was no way Mrs. Ricca would name one of her sons “Bill”. “Billerica” was the name of a town just north of Boston.
小题1:Which one can show the charge of the writer’s feelings?
a. guilty b. anxious c. embarrassed d. happy e sure
| A．a-d-b-e-c | B．d-e-b-a-c | C．c-b-e-d-a | D．b-c-d-e- |
| A．Forgetting your wife’s favourite flower is a very serious mistake. |
| B．It is common to call an old acquaintance his given name. |
| C．The writer was in his twenties when he met John in the store. |
| D．John and the writer studied in the same college. |
| A．accept | B．greet | C．thank | D．admit |
| A．The writer must have experienced such embarrassment many times |
| B．The writer had difficulty remembering names because he was getting old |
| C．Running through the alphabet was always an effective way of remembering an acquaintance’s name for the writer |
| D．Mrs. Ricca would have named one of her sons “Bill” if Billerica was not the name of a town north of Boston |
