题目
题型:不详难度:来源:
One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. "This boy has lost his family," he wrote. "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I"m very worried about him. Can you help?" "
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn"t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.
The first two times we met David didn"t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon - in complete silence and without looking at me. It"s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering." Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
"It"s your turn," he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, an d about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one - without any words – can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry" on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.

试题分析:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者用倾听的方法和有心理疾病的David进行交流,最终使得他康复。文章告诉我们:有时无声的倾听和交流能起意想不到的效果。
小题1:考查推理判断。根据文章第一段中的He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly.可知,David来回不停的走动,脸色苍白,手微微颤抖。这些现象表明他有些紧张。故选C

The other night as I was leaving my son"s room. I noticed a hockey puck(冰球)sitting on his desk. It      me not only of an exciting hockey game he and I had      several years ago. but of a life lesson he had learned      .
During spring vacation from school,a friend gave us two      to a New York Rangers hockey game at Madison Square Garden. My son was very      because he is an avid Rangers fan,so we attended it.
The roar of the crowd was right from the moment the puck was      dropped. When the Rangers      first, the crowd cheered. My son got caught up in the moment and      joined in the crowd. When the Rangers scored a second time, it seemed as if the building would      from the noise. Three young men      in the row in front of us, probably in their early 20s, caught my      as my son sang along with the crowd. They smiled at us. We were all one happy and excited hockey      .
For my son, the victory was exciting. But that is not what he remembers about that night,      that"s not his primary recollection. After the winning goal had been scored,the losing team"s goalkeeper      the hockey puck out of the net behind him, and      it into the crowd. One of the three young men before us caught the puck and,      in one motion after catching it, threw it back to my son.
My son looked at the puck as if he had been given a golden     . "Why did that man give me the puck?"  I explained to my son that the man had given him the puck be­cause he knew how      it would make him to have a souvenir from the game, and not just any souvenir, but the puck that had been the      goal in a shootout. It was obvi­ous that he knew it would      more to my son than it would to him.

Immediately I got up and dressed, I stuck my violin under my jacket and went out into the streets to try my    . I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely     , feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I      at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
I felt tense and     . It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that I was about to       myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the       before me, the violin under my chin.
The first notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest, then they settled down and began to run more _   and to stay more or less in tune. To my     ,I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any     at all. Then an old man, without stopping at all, dropped a penny into my       as though getting rid of some guilty evidence.
I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually obtaining the truth of the       by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money---the sight could      a kind-hearted man; nor was it wise to      it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to      his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a       practice and I made sure, between tunes, to take off most of the earnings, but always leaving two      behind.
Old      were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls and barmaids.  As for men, heavy drinkers were always willing listeners and so were big guys with muscles. But      a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog: respectable types were the least      of all.  Except for retired army officers, who would shout "Why aren"t you     , young man?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.
