One of us was always in Ollie’s hospital room—either me, or our grown children, Bruce and Karen. One day, in his broken and weak speech, Ollie told Bruce, “Go home. You should be with Gwen.” Gwen was Bruce’s wife. They had been married for six years and lived hundreds of miles away. Gwen was about to have a baby. We felt an extra sadness, knowing Ollie would never see his first grandchild.
“I don’t want to leave you, Dad,” Bruce said. Ollie repeated, “You should be with Gwen.” Reluctantly, Bruce left. “When the baby comes,” he promised Ollie, “you will be the first to know.” A few days later, around 2 p.m., Ollie awoke from a sleep. He turned and looked at me. I sat close to hear his weak words. “The baby is coming now. It’s a boy,” he said. For a moment his eyes were filled with tears. Then he went back to sleep again. Not long after that, Karen ran into the room. “Bruce called,” she said, a smile lighting her face. “Gwen gave birth to a healthy baby boy around two o’ clock.”
Ollie smiled; he had been the first to know. That night, Ollie died in his sleep.

答案

小题4:D
解析
试题分析:小题1:A 细节题。根据第一段第二行Then he was terribly ill and became very weak, hardly able to speak.说明他病重是原因。故A正确。
小题2:C 推理题。根据第二段第四行Gwen was about to have a baby.第三段第一行“I don’t want to leave you, Dad,” Bruce said. Ollie repeated, “You should be with Gwen.说明Ollie行为儿子能多陪陪要生孩子的Gwen,故C正确。
小题3:B 推理题。根据第三段第一行“I don’t want to leave you, Dad,” Bruce said. Ollie repeated, “You should be with Gwen.” Reluctantly, Bruce left.说明Bruce不想离开Ollie。故该词意为不愿意,故B正确。
小题4:D 推理题。根据文章最后一段Ollie smiled; he had been the first to know. That night, Ollie died in his sleep.说明他很去世的时候知道了孙子出世了,很安静的死去了。故D正确。

举一反三
Mario 33 the bet without hesitation. However, he wasn’t sure how to test 34 his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandfather. The old man answered, “Wait a minute.” Then the old man left, 35 soon as though carrying something in his hands, but Mario could see 36 there.
“Take it. It’s a very special chair because it’s invisible (看不见). It’s rather 37 to sit on it, but if you take it to school and 38 to sit on it, you’ll activate (激活)its magic and you’ll be able to 39 who your real friends are. ”
Mario, brave and determined, took the 40 and set off for school. At break time he asked everyone to form a(n) 41 , and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. Having difficulty seeing it, Mario tried to sit on it and 42 straight onto his backside. Everyone around him had a pretty good laugh.
“Wait!Let me try again,” Mario said. But again, he missed the seat, 43 more surprised looks and a few catcalls (尖叫,喝倒彩). Mario didn’t 44 and kept trying to sit on the magic chair. But he kept falling onto the ground…until, 45 he tried again but didn’t fall. Looking around, Mario saw three of his best friends 46 him up. Meanwhile, many others he had 47 as friends had done nothing but make 48 of him.
And there, the show 49 to an end. Mario understood that true friends were those who 50 for him, and not just the companions that happened to be passing by. And someone who took joy in his misfortunes (不幸) was even less of a friend.

Many obese(overweight)people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin means being loved, being special, and being cherished. We imagine what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally realize its promise of happiness, and of course, love.
It took me a long while to know that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards are different with culture. In Somoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us try hard to change our body, but with no result. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
小题1:The passage tries to tell us the importance of ______.
A.body size |
B.attitudes toward life |
C.culture difference |
D.different beauty standards |
A.All the problems. | B.All the bodies. |
C.The whole world. | D.The truth. |
A.The author is a Samoan. |
B.The author succeeded in losing weight. |
C.The author has been troubled by her/his weight. |
D.The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents. |
A.They feel angry about the regained weight. |
B.They don’t care about the regained weight. |
C.They feel optimistic(乐观的)about future plans on weight control. |
D.They think they should give up their future plans on weight control. |
In an instant, I realized what I had done.I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be.I hated what I saw in myself.This incident re-awakened my belief in humility(谦恭), even though I’d lost it for a moment.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant.I left Honduras and arrived in the U.S.at the age of 15.I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother.Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.
In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice (偏见).I remember a time, at age 17 —— I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me.I have also witnessed the same treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.
But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the streets of Washington, D.C., cured me of my blindness.She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open.By the way, I helped that lady to the post office.And in writing this essay, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.
小题1:We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _______.
A.the author regretted his act of prejudice |
B.the blind woman needed the money badly |
C.the author was as poor as the blind woman |
D.the author was a native American |
A.rather hurt | B.very excited |
C.deeply moved | D.greatly inspired |
A.be nice to the elderly and the disabled |
B.try to experience different kinds of life |
C.treat others equally with love and respect |
D.think about one’s past as often as possible |
A.Learn from your past |
B.How my dream comes true |
C.A Belief that will never change |
D.A priceless lesson in the street |
made him a depressed man, often complaining that others had been playing tricks on him. One day he told his wife he was so 16 with the city that he had to leave.
So his family moved to 17 city. It was in the evening of aweekend when Tom and his wife were busy 18 up their new home
19 the light suddenly went out. So they had to 20 work. Tom was regretful to have forgotten bringing along candles and had to wait 21 in a low mood. Just then he heard slight, hesitant knocks on his door that sounded clear in the 22 night.
“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Tom had no 23 in the new city.
And this was the moment he especially disliked being disturbed. 24 , he went reluctantly to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have 25 ? I’m your neighbor.” “No,” answered Tom in anger and shut the door violently. “What a nuisance!” he complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down 26 the neighbor came to 27 things.” After a while, the door was knocked 28 . He opened it and found the same girl outside. But this time she was holding two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She 29 me here to give you these.” Tom was very 30 by what he saw. When he became fully aware, he said, “Thank you and your 31 . God bless you!”
At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his 32 in life. It
was his 33 and harshness(刻薄)with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was 34 nobody else but himself, for he had fallen for his unsympathetic 35 .

I had to walk home since all the 36 had stopped after the earthquake. On my way home I 37 an old lady at a bakery shop(面包店) who was giving out free bread, which made my heart 38 . A man was holding a sign(招牌) that said, “Please use our 39 .” He was 40 his house for people who were homeless to have a rest .
My friend wanted to 41 others. He stood in the cold with a sign “If you’re okay with a motorcycle, I will 42 you to your house.” And then I saw him take one gentleman home, all the way to a faraway place!
Then next day I drove to 43 my car with gas. There is a lack (缺乏) of 44 now after the quake and many gasoline stations are either closed or have very 45 lines. I got 46 , since I was behind 15 cars. Finally, when it was my 47 , the man smiled and said, “ 48 this bad situation after the quake , we are only giving $30 worth gas to each person. Is that all right?” “ 49 . I’m just glad that we are all able to 50 with each other .” I said. His smile gave me so much comfort.
I saw a man at the evacuation (疏散) center burst into 51 when people brought food to him. It was the first time in three days that food was brought to their center. However, after he wiped the tears, his next 52 surprised me. “I am very 53 that we are provided with food. But people in the city next to us haven’t 54 any food at all. Please go to that center as well.” And when hearing that, I realized there is a bright future on the other side of this terrible 55 .
