试题分析:我的儿子琼尼的双脚先天畸形。医生说他走能行但是跑不好。3岁之前一直在接受治疗。七八岁的时候,走路看起来和正常人一样。他和邻居的小孩子们一起跑玩,我们从没告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑 。因为我们不对他说,所以他不知道。我们从没有对他说他不会成功。是的,从没说起过……所以他不知道,但他却做到了!
小题1:考查名词的用法辨析。句意:我的儿子Joey生下来时,他的双脚严重扭曲。Hands手;mouth嘴;body身体;feet脚。根据后面的walk和run 判断与脚有关。故选D。
小题2:考查副词的用法辨析。句意:医生向我们保证说经过治疗,小Joey可以像常人一样走路,但像常人一样跑步的可能性则微乎其微。freely自由地;fluently流利地;normally正常地;strangely奇怪地。结合后面的走路正常判断,故选C。
小题3:考查名词的运用辨析。句意:Joey3岁之前一直在接受治疗,和支架、石膏模子打交道。treatment治疗;school学校;dark黑暗;silence沉默。前文提到Joey的脚先天畸形,所以要和正常人一样走路跑步一定是经过治疗。故选A。
小题4:考查动词的运用辨析。句意:八岁的时候,他走路的样子已让人看不出他的腿脚有过毛病。study学习;walk走路;read读书;stand站立。全文都在围绕他的脚能走能跑说,故选B。
小题5:考查名词的运用辨析。句意:邻居的小孩子们玩的时候总是跑过来跑过去。小Joey就会马上加进去跑啊闹的。holiday假期;rest休息;winter冬天;play玩耍。先朋友们在一起做的事当然是玩。故选D。
小题6:考查副词的运用辨析。句意:我们从没告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑,never从不;often经常;always总是;still仍然。结合其他段落中相似的这几句话判断,选A。
小题7:考查动词用法的辨析。句意:我们从没告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑。talk谈论;study学习、研究;read读书;run跑步。故选D。
小题8:考查动词短语的用法辨析。句意:七年级的时候,Joey决定参加跑步横穿全美的比赛。
break out爆发;go out出去,熄灭;give out散发,分发;runout用完。go out for 努力成为其中一员。故选B。
小题9:考查动词用法的辨析。句意:每天他和大伙一块训练。trained训练;struggled挣扎,斗争;fight战斗;study学习。train为参加某一活动所做的训练,故选A。
小题10:考查名词的运用辨析。句意:也许是意识到自己先天不如别人,他训练得比任何人都刻苦。scores分数;abilities能力;standards标准;dreams梦想。该句很复杂,第一个that从句是宾语从句,空后的定语从句that seemed to come naturally to so many others修饰这里的名词,带入四个选项判断,别人天生就有的能力他没有。故最佳选B。
小题11:考查形容词的运用辨析。句意:训练队的前7名选手可以参加最后比赛,为学校拿分。last上一个;strongest最强壮的;top最好的;number数量。根据常识判断应该是前七名有机会为学校赢得分数。故选C。

举一反三
A daughter thought life was unpromising to her and complained to her father about it. She did not know how she was going to   21  and wanted to give up. She was   22  of fighting and struggling. It seemed as if one problem was just solved before a new one   23 .
Her father, a cook, took her to the   24 . He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high   25 . Soon the pots came to a   26 . In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter sucked her teeth and   27  waited, asking repeatedly what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the   28  . He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he spooned the coffee out and placed it in another. Turning to her he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”
“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to   29  the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the   30 , she observed the hard-boiled egg! Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. She smiled   31  she tasted its rich flavor. She humbly asked, “What does it mean, Father?”
He explained that each of them had faced the same   32 , boiling water, but each   33   differently. The carrot went in   34  and hard. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it   35  and became weak. The egg had been   36 . Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after sitting   37  the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique,   38 . After they were in the boiling water, they had   39  the water.
“Which are you?” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door,   40  do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?”

Pete Richards was the loneliest man in town on the day that little Jean Grace opened the door of his shop.
Pete"s grandfather had owned the shop until his death. Then the shop became Pete"s. The front window was full of beautiful old things: jewelry of a hundred years ago, gold and silver boxes, carved figures from China and Japan and other nations.
On this winter afternoon, a child stood there, her face close to the window. With large and serious eyes, she studied each piece in the window. Then, looking pleased, she stepped back from the window and went into the shop. Pete himself stood behind the counter. His eyes were cold as he looked at the small girl. “Please,” she began, “would you let me look at the pretty string of blue beads in the window?” Pete took the string of blue beads from the window. The beads were beautiful against his hand as he held the necklace up for her to see.
“They are just right,” said the child as though she were alone with the beads. “Will you wrap them up in pretty paper for me, please? I"ve been looking for a really wonderful Christmas present for my sister.”
“How much money do you have?” asked Pete.
She put a handful of pennies on the counter. “This is all I have,” she explained simply. “I"ve been saving the money for my sister"s present.”
Pete looked at her, his eyes thoughtful. Then he carefully closed his hand over the price mark on the necklace so that she could not see it. How could he tell her the price? The happy look in her big blue eyes struck him like the pain of an old wound.
“Just a minute,” he said and went to the back of the shop. “What"s your name?” he called out. He was very busy about something.
“Jean Grace,” answered the child.
When Pete returned to the front of the shop, he held a package in his hand. It was wrapped in pretty Christmas paper.
“There you are,” he said. “Don"t lose it on the way home.”
She smiled happily at him as she ran out of the door. Through the window he watched her go. He felt more alone than ever.
Something about Jean Grace and her string of beads had made him feel once more the pain of his old grief. The child"s hair was as yellow as the sunlight; her eyes were as blue as the sea. Once upon a time, Pete had loved a girl with hair of that same yellow and with eyes just as blue. And the necklace of blue stones had been meant for her.
But one rainy night, a car had gone off the road and struck the girl. After she died, Pete felt that he had nothing left in the world except his grief. The blue eyes of Jean Grace brought him out of that world of self-pity and made him remember again all that he had lost. The pain of remembering was so great that Pete wanted to run away from the happy Christmas shoppers who came to look at his beautiful old things during the next ten days.
When the last shopper had gone, late on Christmas Eve, the door opened and a young woman came in. Pete could not understand it, but he felt that he had seen her before. Her hair was sunlight yellow and her eyes were sea-blue. Without speaking, she put on the counter a package wrapped in pretty Christmas paper. When Pete opened the package, the string of blue beads lay again before him.
“Did this come from your shop?” she asked.
Pete looked at her with eyes no longer cold. “Yes, it did,” he said.
“Are the stones real?”
“Yes. They aren"t the best turquoise(绿松石), but they are real.”
“Can you remember to whom you sold them?”
“She was a small girl. Her name was Jean. She wanted them for her sister"s Christmas present.”
“How much were they?”
“I can"t tell you that,” he said. “The seller never tells anyone else what a buyer pays.”
“But Jean has never had more than a few pennies. How could she pay for them?”
She paid the biggest price one can ever pay,” he said.
For a moment there was no sound in the little shop. Then somewhere in the city, church bells began to ring. It was midnight and the beginning of another Christmas Day.
“But why did you do it?” the girl asked.
Pete put the package into her hands.
“There is no one else to whom I can give a Christmas present,” he said. “It is already Christmas morning. Will you let me take you to your home? I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas at your door.”
And so, to the sound of many bells, Pete Richards and a girl whose name he had not yet learned walked out into the hope and happiness of a new Christmas Day.
