Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans.With each passing day everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell.Upon its    36   everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David
David was a small boy in ragged clothes.I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so   37   for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves.But something made David   38 .I can still remember he was always   39   a smile and willing to help.He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor.We never talked much.He   40   just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home
Weeks passed and the   41   over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break.I smiled in   42   as the last of them hurried out of the door.Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk.
"I have something for you." he said and   43   from behind his back a small box.  44   it to me, he said anxiously, "Open it." I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it.I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw nothing.I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it’s   45 ."
"Oh no it isn’t" said David."It’s full of love.My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there."
Tears filled my eyes   46  I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to.After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning   47  the little empty box set on my desk.

解析
这是一篇记叙文,情节简单,寓意深刻。情节和语境,是记叙文完形填空的重要依据,
小题1:. B。按情节,本题中its指的是school bell,所以只能和ring搭配。
小题1:. D。在语境中辨析副词词义。inappropriately 意思是“不适当地”, 根据下文中的without a coat, boots, or gloves可知戴维穿得不合季节。题中所给的四个副词都是加前缀或后缀变来的,且平日练习时的呈现频率都较低,故词义生疏,增加了选择的难度。
小题1:. C。考查形容词的词义辨析,special意思是“特殊的;特别的”,上文情节说到戴维穿得不好,下文说到作者能记得的是戴维脸上一直挂着微笑,总是乐于助人。上下文的对比描写,说明他与众不同。
小题1:. C。在语境中辨析动词意义,wear常见的意思是“穿着,戴着”,可在这里意思是“呈现,显现”, 描绘戴维脸上经常挂着灿烂的笑容。
小题1:. A。考查情态动词。would在这里的意思是“老是,总是”。
小题1:. B。考查名词辨析。argument意为“争论”,excitement意为“激动”,movement意为“运动”,judgment意为“判断”。按语境,应选 excitement,指学生期待已久的圣诞到来时的兴奋之情。
小题1:. A。在语境中确定名词。该题前后都在渲染孩子们盼望节日来临的急切心情,又提到“before the holiday break”,显然是指在校的放假前最后一天。
小题1:. A。在语境中确定名词。该空的前边是介词in,与所给的四个选项都可以构成搭配,in relief意为“由于宽慰”,in return意为“作为报答”,in vain意为“徒劳地”,in control意为“在控制过程中”。从前面几个名词如excitement ,restlessness所描绘的语境可以看出,面临节日,放假前的孩子们已经心猿意马。放假后看到最后一个孩子离校,老师宽慰地露出笑容。故选A。
小题1:. D。在语境中确定动词。searched意为“搜找”,found意为“发现”,raised意为“举起”,pulled意为“拉出”。按情节,此处戴维的动作应是从身后把那个盒子拉出来。故选D。
小题1:. B。考查动词的搭配。戴维从背后拿出盒子,紧接下一个动作就是把盒子递给老师。hand sth to sb 意为“把……交给某人”。
小题1:. B。考查形容词。由上文中的saw nothing可知盒子是空的,故选B。
小题1:. A。考查连词的用法。这一句的意思是:戴维脏兮兮的脸上洋溢着自豪的神情。我看着这张平时很少关注的脸蛋,泪水在眼眶里打转。这里需要as来引导时间状语从句。
小题1:. B。介词的意义辨析。该句的意思是:我从未忘记至今还放在我桌子上的那只小空盒子背后所赋予的深意。由语境可知,这儿是指“空盒子背后”的意义。

A long time ago, there was a seed and because he was only a seed, nobody noticed him.Thus, feeling inferior (低等的), the seed gave no importance to his existence (存在).
Then one day, a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun.Later, he was given rain.
Years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side.“Thank God for this.I really need some rest,” he heard the traveler say.

“Really?”
“Yes! Why else do you think people come here?”
“What do they come here for?”
“To feel your shade (树荫)! Don’t tell me you didn’t know you had grown over time.”
A moment passed before the traveler’s words brought him pride.
The seed thought and smiled for the first time in his life.The years of torture (折磨) by the sun and the rain finally helped him grow up.

Years ago while lying in my hammock (吊床)and drinking JD from the bottle, I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence.Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door neighbor" s 10 - year - old daughter" s rabbit.For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard.I knew that day would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.
The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower.Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as "natural caused".
Back to the hammock and JD.Within the hour the neighbor" s Volvo palled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage.Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed: " D - A - D - D – Y!!!"
Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage.Being the good neighbor that I am, I rushed to fence and asked if there was anything I could do.
