解析

试题分析:这是一个感人的故事:曾经有一名男子,他非常聪明、富有创造力而且有教养,但不幸的是,在一次事故中,他失去了双腿和左臂。他的人生将何去何从?是悲观失望,还是坚强面对?最后他选择了给犯人写信,以此给他们希望和鼓励。
小题1:C 从上下文可知,他通过环球旅行,获得了很多经验 (experience),同时从第三段中的提示也可知答案。wealth表示“财富”,faith表示“信念”,confidence表示“自信”,都与语境不符。
小题2:A 从上文可知,他失去了双腿和左臂,只剩下右手的拇指和另一个手指,所以他的情绪非常低落 (depressed)。embarrassed表示“尴尬的”,ashamed表示“惭愧的”,thrilled表示“激动的”,都不符合语境。
小题3:B 他很担心他的人生一直都会承受这种痛苦 (suffering)。
小题4:D 从上文提示可知,他担心自己再也不能过有意义的生活了。abnormal表示“不正常的”;regular表示“有规律的”;comfortable表示“使人舒服的”;meaningful表示“有意义的”。根据语境选D项。
小题5:C 从下文可知,他记得自己曾经非常喜欢收到信件 (letters),所以他决定给需要鼓励的人写信。
小题6:D 根据上下文可知,他意识到他的右手还有部分的功能 (function),还能够费劲地 (with difficulty)写点什么。其他选项都不符合语境。
小题7:C考查词组:with difficulty“困难地”
小题8:D 上文提到他决定给需要鼓励的人写信,这里指他想 (wonder)到哪里找这些需要鼓励的人。estimate表示“估计”,doubt表示“怀疑”,assume表示“假设”,都与语境不符。
小题9:C 从下文提示可知,答案选prisons(监狱)。
小题10:C 根据常识判断,对于监狱中的犯人来说,他们希望获得freedom(自由)。
小题11:B 为了他的计划,他觉得他必须得让犯人们收到他的信件,所以用reach(联系,到达)。Release表示“释放”,defend表示“辩护,保卫”,know表示“知道”,都与语境不
小题12:A 根据上下文可知,监狱官回信说写信给犯人是可以的、可接受的 (acceptable),但让犯人回信是违反监狱的规定的。reasonable表示“合理的”,prohibited表示“被禁止的”,considered表示“经过仔细考虑的”,均与语境不符。
小题13:B 有了这样的打算后,他开始给犯人写信,filled with表示“有了,充满”,根据语境选B项。
小题14:C 从上文可知,只能男子给犯人写信,犯人无法回信,所以说是one-way(单程的)。
小题15:D 固定词组to the limit表示“到……的极限”。
小题16:A 他全身心地投入到写信当中,与犯人分享 (share)自己的人生经验
小题17:B 对他来说,写这些信是很困难的,特别是在没有任何回信 (reply)的情况下。
小题18:D 他经常会感到很失落,有时候会想,实际上 (actually)是否有人会读他的信。curiously表示“好奇地”,patiently表示“耐心地”,carefully表示“仔细地”,都与语境不符。
小题19:A 但对他来说,这是他唯一的 (only)希望,所以他决定继续写下去。
小题20:B 实际上,他的信很受犯人的欢迎,他的信件在牢房之间被传递,由于纸张薄,以至于到最后信都快成碎片了 (fall to pieces)。
点评:本文讲述了一个失去双腿和左臂的人,他给犯人写信,以此给他们希望和鼓励。从本篇完型我们可以看出完形的考查趋势。突出考察学生词汇与结构,词汇与结构这部分既是整个考试的基础,也是本题考察的重点部分,在以后的复习中,要特别重视词汇与语法的复习,重视自己基础的夯实与提高,只有这样,才能以不变应万变,在高考中中立于不败之地。另外在答题注意上下文理解,同时结合逻辑推理进行答题,题目就能迎刃而解了。

Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood.When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the bird’s captivity my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.

A.He had just got a new cage.B.He liked its beautiful feather.
C.He wanted it to sing for him.D.He wanted a pet for a companion.
小题2:The mockingbird died because it ______.
A.was frightened to deathB.ate the poisonous food its mother gave it
C.refused to eat anythingD.drank the poisonous water by mistake
小题3:An ornithologist probably means ______.
A.a religious personB.a kind person
C.a schoolmasterD.an expert in birds
小题4:What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?
A.Freedom is very valuable to all creatures.
B.All birds put in a cage won’t live long.
C.You should keep the birds from their mother.
D.Be careful about food you give to baby birds.

I can’t count how many times people have complained, while shaking their heads in obvious disappointment,“just don’t know what is with teenagers today.”
The other day I was in my car on my way to the farmers market when I passed two teens standing by the side of the road with a car washing sign. My car was filthy and my heart was full, so I pulled over. There was a group directing the cars and another group spraying them down. As sponges(海绵) were wiped over every square inch of my dirty car, I sat enjoying the little water bottles. I was amazed at why forty to fifty teenagers had devoted their Saturday to washing cars.
After I handed them a twenty-dollar bill I asked what they were raising money for. They explained to me that a friend of theirs, C.T.Schmitz, had recently died of cancer. He was only fifteen years old. He had gone to school with a lot of the teenagers who were there that day and each of them had memories of a boy sweeter than any they had known. His friend Kevin had decided to put this car wash together because he wanted to honor his friend and also bring together his classmates with his boy scout troop(童子军). He told me that they wanted to plant a tree in front of their school and if they raised enough money they would put a plaque(纪念匾) there also. Both would be in memory of their friend C.T.
They handed me a bag of homemade cookies with my receipt(收据) saying“Thanks for helping us plant a tree of C.T.”
Yeah! I don’t know what is with teenagers today!

Tomorrow was his girlfriend’s birthday and the young man was having a difficult time deciding on a present for her. She already had more clothes than she knew what to do with them, so he couldn’t get any kind of apparel. She never ate sweets, so candy was out of the question. What then? He had a very special reason for wanting to impress her with just the right gift; tomorrow he was going to make an offer of marriage to her.
He finally decided on perfume(香水). All girls liked perfume. That raised another problem, however. What kind did she prefer? He couldn’t ask her because that would ruin the surprise.
At last the young man hit upon a brilliant idea. That afternoon, pretending to take his girlfriend’s fox terrier, a little dog for a walk, the young man and the dog went directly to the perfume counter of the town’s biggest department store. Good! There was a large array (长列) of perfume. He beckoned(招呼) a clerk, instructing her to open a large number of bottles and wave the stoppers under the dog’s nose.
Nestled in the young man’s arms, the terrier began to be restless and bored as this seemingly pointless game went on. Then Fritz suddenly became frisky, wiggling in the young man’s arms and barking excitedly, as the clerk waved one stopper under its nose.
“I’ll take that one,” said the young man to the clerk. The price was high, but it was worth it, he thought.
“My favorite perfume!” said the delighted girl the next evening as she unwrapped the package. “How did you know?” she asked, dabbing some perfume behind each ear.
“Intuition(直觉), I guess.” said the young man, deciding that it wasn’t exactly wrong to tell a lie under the circumstances. One day, after they were married, he would admit that his intuition had really been a little dog named Fritz.
小题1:Which of the following words best describes the young man in the story ?
A.Kind-heartedB.Curious
C.CreativeD.Mean
小题2:The underlined word “frisky” in Paragraph 4 means ______.
A.livelyB.angry

小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE ?
A.The young man wanted to give his girlfriend a pleasant surprise.
B.The pet dog Fritz knew what the young man wanted very well.
C.The kind of perfume the young man chose was expensive.
D.The young man told a white lie about his final choice of the perfume.
