试题分析:
小题1:考查短语的用法。be for赞成； be against反对； with sb和某人在一起。根据but don"t understand you.可知答案。句意：一些人总是和你在一起但是并不了解你。
小题2:考查形容词的意义。根据Many people will step in your life， but only…. 可知后面是转折，强调留在心中的少。所以只有真正的朋友，才能留在心中。
小题3:根据A young girl, standing in the wind, was__10____ in playing her violin. 可知小女孩带着小提琴。sound 声音；song 歌曲；play 游戏，玩；violin小提琴
小题4:根据It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves….和I liked walking alone in the leaves,可知这是秋天当然根据我们已有的知识，在这个季节金黄的树叶在秋风中随风飘动。shake震动，摇动；hang悬挂；fall落下；float飘动。又因为后面有on the cool ___5_故选D
小题5:根据on the cool这是秋天当然根据我们已有的知识可知叶子是在风中飘动。秋天不可能下雪故排除B，on the air 在广播 。根据A young girl, standing in the wind可知当时的天气是有风的。故选A
小题6:现在分词用作伴随状语 。现在分词的逻辑主语就是句子的主语，它们之间是主动关系所以用现在分词
小题7:秋天本是收获的季节，但是此处“我”却独自一人漫步在落叶之上，与下文的生活的无趣相对应。Lively活泼的；lovely可爱的；harvest收获的；lonely寂寞的。
小题8:get up起床； get off下车； get sb. down意为“使人泄气；沮丧， 使人疲倦”； get over克服。根据life is uninteresting可知，本是一个收获季节作者应高兴才对，而他却感到生活的无趣，故选C
小题9:grow into成长为；enter当“进入“讲时不跟into连用；run into撞到。琴声像山涧溪流一样，流进(flow into)“我”的耳畔,故选A
小题10:grow into成长为；enter当“进入“讲时不跟into连用；run into撞到。Lost in the music“沉浸在琴声中” be lost in sth.意为“陷入……之中”。 be interested in对……感兴趣.此处指小姑娘正在聚精会神地拉小提琴。琴声像山涧溪流一样，流进(flow into)“我”的耳畔，又根据 Lost in the music, I didn"t know that I had been ___12….故选A
小题11:once 从前；often经常； usually常常； never从未。根据we didn"t know each other….可知两人以前从未见过面。
小题12:根据I had been ___12___ there for so long 因为有for so long所以排除BD，因为它们不能与持续性动词连用。“我”沉浸在优美的琴声中，不自觉地在风中伫立。故选C
小题13:从下文可知，“我”并不是听到琴声才下楼，而是因为两人心有灵犀，每次几乎是在小姑娘拉琴的同时，“我”也到了楼下。因此这里应用when。故选C
小题14:moving动人的；encouraging鼓舞人的；exciting激动的，令人兴奋的与上文的“生活无趣”相对，琴声让“我”觉得“生活有趣”。 故选C
小题15:从句子结构来看，这里缺少连词，故排除C；but 和however都表转折。从整个句意来看，这里是一个让步状语从句。though表“尽管”，合乎文意。故选D
小题16:begin开始； change改变。根据when I was listening carefully,和the girl came over to me.所以可知女孩停止了拉琴。与平日不同，琴声突然停止，小姑娘朝“我”走来，让“我”惊讶。故选A
小题17:trange 奇怪的；surprised惊奇的；happy高兴的；sad 伤心的。
根据I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave可知小姑娘即将离开，故脸上闪现出悲伤的神色。故选B
小题18:urprise惊奇的；excite高兴；interest感兴趣；encourage鼓舞 。在小姑娘眼中，“我”每天来听琴对她是一种无声的激励。根据I once played very badly.小女孩曾经弹的不好，在“我”的鼓励下有了进步。此处是一个强调句型，强调的是主语your listening every day，故选C
小题19:此处是一个强调句型，强调的是主语your listening，故选A，判断强调句型的方法是把it be that去掉整个句子是成立的。
小题20:song歌曲；fire火；sister姐或妹；dream梦。结合全文的意思可知，在“我”看来，小姑娘就像一个梦，让“我”久久难忘。
点评：讲述了作者在一年秋天自己心情不好，在楼下邂逅了一位小女孩在拉小提琴，作者被她的琴声所吸引，就每天来听琴，作者的心情好了，小女孩的演奏也进步了。小女孩走后，作者念念不忘这个小女孩。这篇完形描述了作者遇见小女孩的前后的思想情绪的变化，所以答题前一定要先通读短文认真分析上下文之间的关系，弄清作者的心态变化，以防掉进命题人给设计的陷阱。答完后再通读一遍文章，看看所选选项能不能使语句通顺，语意连贯。 |

Three boys and three girls were going to Fort Lauderdale and when they boarded the bus，they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags，dreaming of golden beaches as the gray cold of New York vanished behind them.
As the bus passed through New Jersey，they began to notice Vingo, He sat in front of them，dressed in a plain，ill-fitting suit，never moving，his dusty face masking his age. He kept chewing the inside of his lip a lot，frozen into some personal cocoon of silence.
Deep into the night，outside Washington，the bus pulled into Howard Johnson"s，and everybody got off except Vingo. He sat rooted in his seat，and the young people began to wonder about him，trying to imagine his life：perhaps he was a sea captain，a runaway from his wife，an old soldier going home. When they went back to the bus，one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.
"We"re going to Florida,” she said brightly, “I hear it"s really beautiful.”
“It is，”he said quietly，as if remembering something he had tried to forget.
"Want some wine?" she said. He smiled and took a swig. He thanked her and once again returned to his silence. After a while，she went back to the others，and Vingo nodded in his sleep.
In the morning，they awoke outside another Howard Johnson"s．And this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He seemed very shy, and ordered black coffee and smoked nervously as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus，the girl sat with Vingo again，and after a while, slowly and painfully，he told his story. He had been in jail in New York for the past four years，and now he was going home.
“Are you married?”
“I don"t know.
“You don’t know?” she said.
“Well，when I was in jail I wrote to my wife，”he said. “I told her that I was going to be away a long time，and that if she couldn"t stand it．if the kids kept asking questions，if it hurt too much，well she could just forget me, I"d understand. Get a new guy，I said she"s a wonderful woman，really something and forget about me. I told her she didn"t have to write me for nothing. And she didn"t. Not for three and a half years.”
"And you’re going home now，not knowing?”
“Yeah，”he said shyly. “Well，last week，when I was sure the parole (假释) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick，just before Jacksonville，and there’s a big oak (橡树) tree just as you came into town. I told her that if she"d take me back，she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree，and I"d get off and come home, If she didn"t want me, forget it, no handkerchief，and I"d go on through.”
"Vow,” the girl exclaimed. "Wow.”
She told the others，and noon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick，looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children. The woman was handsome in a plain way，the children still unformed in the much-handled snapshots.
Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seat on the right side，waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. The bus acquired a dark，hushed mood，full of the silence of absence and lost years. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-con"s mask, as if fortifying himself against still another disappointment.
Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then，suddenly，all of the young people were up out of their seats，screaming and shouting and crying，doing small dances of joy. All except Vingo.
Vingo sat there stunned，looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs，20 of them，30 of them，maybe hundreds，a tree that stood like a banner of welcome billowing in the wind. As the young people shouted，the old rose and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also be very happy, When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

“You will never walk again．You will have to use a wheelchair．” I heard his 36 fall heavily on my ears, numbing my soul．If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then．
The car accident has left me unconscious．When 37 , I found both legs in casts（石膏）．While I had other serious injuries, my 38 were my first concern．Working as a special needs teacher and busy and active by nature, I couldn’t imagine being 39 in a wheelchair．
Lying in my bed, I wondered how I 40 give my ten-year-old son hope that mom would 41 ．He’d been cheerful on every visit, but I saw 42 in his eyes． He needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever．
Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach him what to do when misfortune 43 ．
It didn’t take me long to become 44 with my limited movements and even with the pace the doctors were willing to go with me．I was determined to learn everything they showed me．
Every night in my private room, as soon as I knew I wouldn’t be 45 or discovered, I would move myself from the bed to the floor, 46 on to the bed rail（床栏杆） for dear life, and slowly putting my weight 47 my feet．After several weeks of such difficult 48 , my strength and confidence continued to 49 ．
It came the time to share my accomplishments with the person most 50 to me．One night, when I heard my son greet the nurses at the station, I 51 myself up．As he opened the door, I took a few small steps． 52 , he could only watch as I turned and started back to bed．All of the pain, the fear, and the struggle 53 as I heard the words I had longed to hear, “Mommy, you can walk!”
I am now able to walk alone, sometimes using a stick．I am able to take public transportation to shop and visit friends．My life has been blessed with many 54 of which I am proud．But none has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy 55 by those four little words of my son．

A firm handshake is key to interview success. As any serious job-hunter knows, it helps to dress smartly and smile at that all-important interview. But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes to impressing potential employers.
The US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock (模拟) interviews with businesses. As each undergraduate was graded on their overall performance, five "handshake raters" also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact.
Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers. Students with " wimpy" shakes were judged to be more timid and less impressive.
The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.
Professor Stewart said: "We"ve always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview. But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We don"t consciously remember a person"s handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal clues we get about the person"s overall personality, and that impression is what we remember."
Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.
Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, - as an over enthusiastic "bone crusher" handshake can indicate self-importance, a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness.
The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons.
小题1:The passage is probably intended for ______.| A．job-hunters | B．an undergraduate | C．employers | D．handshake raters |
小题2:From the first paragraph we know that in an interview ______.| A．dressing smartly is more important than a firm handshake | | B．smile has no effect on impressing potential employers | | C．a firm handshake is more important than dressing smartly, and smile | | D．dressing smartly, smile and a firm handshake are of the same importance |
小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?| A．The firmer your handshake is the better impression you leave. | | B．The undergraduates without a firm handshake are thought to be less impressive. | | C．Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others. | | D．It"s said that the handshake dates back to medieval Europe. |
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?| A．Women with a firm handshake were likely to leave a better impression than men. | | B．A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake. | | C．Dressing, smile and a firm handshake are all important to a successful job interview. | | D．Job interview success depends on interviewees" body language. |

I was late for the school bus and rushing to get ready. My dog, Tippy, got to the front door and lay down in front of it – his way of asking to be petted. I___36___his begging for affection (喜爱), hurdled over him and ran for the waiting bus.

When I got off the bus the next day, the___44___at home was deafening. Finally, my sobs (哭泣) bubbled up and erupted (喷发) like lava (熔岩) from a volcano. I couldn’t stop___45___. I hadn’t even petted him when I left.___46___could I have known that was my last chance? I cried until I felt empty inside.
Time passed, and against my will, I started to___47___some things. I realized what little control any of us have over what happens ___48___ a dog. We can do everything right, but___49___things can still happen. But good things can happen too. That’s___50___. The best way to deal with the hard times is to___51___what you need to do to get through them when they come, and to remember that hard times always___52___.
I now deeply understand the “circle of life”. Everyone is born, everyone___53___, and that’s the way it is. If dogs never died, there would be no___54___for others like Belle – my new dog.
