问题 完形填空
I was sitting at the bar of a local restaurant having __36__ and taking a break. A pretty girl who looked about 25 walked in and sat down in a booth(饭馆的小隔间) __37__ for her friend. It didn’t take long __38__ I saw she was trying to stay __39__ from other people’s gazes(注视) and my heart sank. You could see her hair was __40__ and, at such a young age, she was receiving chemo(化疗).
I sat there watching her trying to remain composed(镇静的) and she was having a __41__ time of it. I __42__ for her, imagining what it must be like to go through this and yet I know some of her __43__.
You see I __44__ my wife, the love of my life just a few short years ago and watched her slowly fade away. I needed to give a message of __45__ to this girl. But how? What could I do?
Then it __46__ to me! I called over her waitress and explained that I wanted to buy the girl and her friend’s lunch but I also told her not to tell her it was me. I also __47__ the waitress a note to give to the girl.
The note __48__ as follows:
“ Someone today thought you were beautiful; someone today thought your smile glowed __49__ excitement; someone today thought your eyes __50__ up the world; someone today cared and wanted you to know this. Enjoy the rest of your day, pretty young lady.”
About 15 minutes later, the young girl asked for her __51__ and I watched as she was told it was paid for. She asked why? Who? What for? The waitress simply handed her the note and __52__ to her the gentleman who did it left.
I watched as she slowly read the note. Her eyes tore up, for only a moment, and then came the smile! A huge, beautiful, hopeful smile! She lit up the room and then sat up straight, not __53__ who saw her.
It’s not __54__ we look or what we have; it’s not our houses or how many cars we have; nor is it how much money we can earn. It’s all about how much we care and what we do, __55__ it’s making someone feel pretty only for a moment.

题目分析:

小题1:根据I called over her waitress and explained that I wanted to buy the girl and her friend’s lunch but I also told her not to tell her it was me.可以知道小女孩在吃午饭,故选B

小题2:search for和look for两者都是“寻找”;hope for“期待”;wait for“等候”;根据上下文的语境应是小女孩在等她的朋友吃饭。故选D

小题3:It didn’t take long before…“没过多久”,这是固定句型。故选B

小题4:hidden “躲藏的”; stubborn “顽固的”; focused “集中的,聚焦的”; sighted “目光短浅的”;从下文可知小女孩由于做化疗头发都掉了,自己不愿让别人看见所以躲着别人的目光。故选A

小题5:fall in“集合,跟随”; fall over“摔倒”; fall out“脱落,离队”; fall behind“落在后面”,小女孩的头发在脱落,故选C

小题6:have a good/great time“过得愉快”; have a tough time“过着煎熬的日子” ;have an easy time“过着安逸的日子”;根据上下文小女孩有病在身,过着煎熬的日子,故选C

小题7:sink “下沉,消沉”; ache “疼痛”; trust “信任”; puzzle “困惑”,从下文可知作者同情这个小女孩要给她和她的朋友买单,所以看到小女孩这个样子作者心痛,故选B

小题8:idea “想法,主意”; view “观点,风景”; trouble “烦恼”; pain

“疼痛”,上文一直在说小女孩的心理的痛,所以作者理解的也是她的痛,故选D

小题9:leave “离开”; desert “放弃”; bury “埋葬”; value“看重,珍惜”,根据下文the love of my life just a few short years ago and watched her slowly fade away.可以看出作者很爱他的妻子,但是妻子离开了人世。故选C

小题10:dream “梦想”; hope“希望,信心”; energy “能量,精力”; wish “希望,愿望”。

hope用作名词的基本意思是有可能实现的“希望”或“期望”,也可表示“有希望的人或事物”。作“希望,期望”解时,既可用作可数名词,也可用作不可数名词; 作“有希望的人或事物”解时是可数名词,常用于单数形式。hope常与介词of或for连用,其后可接名词、动名词或动名词的复合结构。其后还常接由that引导的同位语从句。

wish的基本意思是“希望”“想要”,指对未曾达到、难以达到或不可能达到的目标极其渴望。wish还可作“祝愿”解。

dream的基本意思是“梦”,指人在睡眠时在大脑中形成一种幻觉。dream还可指“梦想,理想”,指在人的头脑中形成的某种愿望; 用于口语中还可指梦一般美好的人或物,即“好极了,太美了”。引申可指“幻想”。

energy的基本意思是“活力”“干劲”“能力”,多用作不可数名词,在指人的“精力”时多用复数形式。引申可表示“能”“能量”“能源”。

energy作“能力”解时,其后面可用动词不定式作定语,但不可用 v -ing形式。

这里作者要给小女孩可以实现的愿望,选B

小题11:strike to sb “给某人一打击”; happen to sb“发生在某人身上”; occur to sb“某人突然想到”; hit“打击”。根据I called over her waitress and explained that I wanted to buy the girl and her friend’s lunch but I also told her not to tell her it was me. “我”突然有了一个想法,故选C

小题12:hand  sb sth“把某物递给某人”; present sb with sth “把某物赠给某人”; provide sb with sth “为某人提供某物”; bring sb sth“带给某人某物”。根据下文The waitress simply handed her the note,作者递给服务员一张便条,故选A

小题13:tell “告诉”; speak “讲”; read “写着”; write“写”。 便条上写着以下内容,故选C

小题14:这是固定短语with excitement激动地,故选D

小题15:tear up “撕碎”; light up “照亮”; cheer  up “振作起来”; lift up “举起”。根据下文She lit up the room可知答案,故选B

小题16:根据I watched as she was told it was paid for.可知小女孩要结账付钱,故选A

小题17:explain to sb “向某人解释”; inform sb. of sth. “告知某人某事”; warn sb. of sth. “告诫某人某事”; remind sb. of sth. “提醒某人某事”。根据上下文语境及短语搭配, 故选A

小题18:根据Her eyes tore up, for only a moment, and then came the smile! A huge, beautiful, hopeful smile! She lit up the room and then sat up straight,可以看出小女孩非常高兴,只顾高兴了,没有去在乎是谁在看她。故选D

小题19:根据…we look or what we have可以看出这里look不及物动词,它后不缺宾语故排除A,根据It’s all about how much we care and what we do及上下文的语境可以看出应选D。

小题20:even though “即使”; as though “好像”; as if “好像”; if only “只要”。…即使我们那样做使某个人感到一时的快乐,根据句意故选A

点评:讲述作者在一次饭馆里遇见了一位身患重病的女孩,看到她的痛苦,自己不留姓名的去帮助她的故事,使小女孩无比高兴,作者心理得到了一丝安慰。这篇文章对于考生有一定的教育意义,是一篇很好的教育素材。本文考了名词、形容词、动词等考查的固定短语比较多,但是考查都是在一定的语言环境下,所以必须了解上下文之间的语境才能很好的完成阅读。
