Three days later, I was driving to  42 my daughter from school. A man was standing on the corner, and something deep  43 me said, “Just help the guy.” So I  44 down my window, and he ran over excitedly. He said, “God bless you, I only need 77 cents.” I  45 into my ashtray (煙灰缸) and strangely enough, there  46 three quarters and two pennies.
I picked them up and gave them to him. He  47 with joy and tears in his eyes. “Wow, you just made it  48 for me to see my mom for Christmas!

試題分析：本文講述的是我之前給窮人很多錢(qián)，但是后來(lái)在自己的經(jīng)濟(jì)情況發(fā)生變化以后就不再施舍別人。不過(guò)后來(lái)發(fā)生的一件事情讓我改變了自己的看法，讓我認(rèn)為幫助別人仍然是我們應(yīng)該做的事情。
31. C。上下文串聯(lián)。從上文我給窮人很多錢(qián)說(shuō)明我很同情他們。feel sorry for sb.為(某人)難過(guò)；同情(某人)。
32. D。上下文串聯(lián)。從第41空后面的out of debt可以推斷此處選A。
33. B。上下文串聯(lián)。從前面一句中所講的“我”沒(méi)有了家、負(fù)債、幾乎沒(méi)有收入可以推斷后來(lái)“我”“停止”給路邊的人錢(qián)了。
34. B�！拔摇币郧敖�(jīng)常給路邊的人錢(qián)，但后來(lái)“我”沒(méi)有了家、負(fù)債、幾乎沒(méi)有收入，因此變得“憤憤不平的(bitter)”。
40.A 形容詞辨析。從接下來(lái)的描述指可以看出情況在“慢慢”改善。
41.B 動(dòng)詞辨析。用動(dòng)詞pull顯示出我償還債務(wù)的艱難。
42.B 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)will work for food說(shuō)明是打著“牌子”來(lái)說(shuō)明自己的目的。
43.C 我無(wú)意幫助那些人，使用用pass by（經(jīng)過(guò)）能恰當(dāng)?shù)乇硎疚业男睦頎顟B(tài)。
44.C 名詞辨析。A危險(xiǎn)B愛(ài)C需要D悲哀；固定搭配。In need需要幫助，說(shuō)明我當(dāng)時(shí)處于困境之中，需要?jiǎng)e人的幫助。
45.D 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)bad things可以判斷這里是指不好的事情，用smoking正確。
46.C 連詞辨析。但是恰好那里有77美分。這里表示的是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
47.C 短語(yǔ)辨析。Pick up是指開(kāi)車接某人。Bring up撫養(yǎng)；carry out執(zhí)行；take out取出，拿出；
48.B 上下文串聯(lián)。本句話是指“在我內(nèi)心深處”所以使用介詞inside。
49.A 動(dòng)詞辨析。A搖；B推C吹D拿走；roll down my window搖下車窗。
50.A 固定搭配。reach into my ashtray把手伸進(jìn)煙灰缸里。
46. C。動(dòng)詞辨析。A躲藏B站立C坐D睡覺(jué)。sit在這里的意思是“坐落在，被放在”。
47. A。固定搭配。burst out突然激動(dòng)地喊叫。B出現(xiàn)C出發(fā)D站立；burst out with joy開(kāi)心地大叫。
48. C。上下文串聯(lián)“我”的幫助使得被幫助者“有可能”在圣誕節(jié)回家看望母親。
49. D。從上下文內(nèi)容可排除C、D兩項(xiàng)；對(duì)于一個(gè)需要接濟(jì)的人來(lái)說(shuō), 坐飛機(jī)的可能性并不大, 況且“我”給他的錢(qián)也很少。故選B項(xiàng)。
50. B。上下文串聯(lián)。與后面的won’t forget對(duì)應(yīng)。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文講述的是我之前給窮人很多錢(qián)，但是后來(lái)在自己的經(jīng)濟(jì)情況發(fā)生變化以后就不再施舍別人。不過(guò)后來(lái)發(fā)生的一件事情讓我改變了自己的看法，讓我認(rèn)為幫助別人仍然是我們應(yīng)該做的事情。本篇完形設(shè)空科學(xué)合理，考生很容易從中領(lǐng)會(huì)大意，從而下手會(huì)比較順利，從選項(xiàng)中可以看出，本大題主要還是考查了詞匯的辨析與運(yùn)用，但更加注重綜合語(yǔ)言能力的運(yùn)用，需要根據(jù)故事情節(jié)，了解詞匯用法的同時(shí)，結(jié)合語(yǔ)境，做出準(zhǔn)確的判斷。

A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer’s hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery （火紅的） ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.
The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. “It’s getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.”
She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.
It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold, too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on— it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed deserted. She couldn’t understand what was going on.
She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said, “Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking.” Ellen was her mother but — where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents’ room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn’t slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different... she wasn’t in her mother’s room and she wasn’t wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her snug bed in her pajamas （睡衣）.
It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, “Are you feeling better now? You know you got us very, very scared.”
小題1:What does “This thought” in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A．The feeling of being warm in her favorite sweater.
B．Her worry about her parents.
C．The idea of going back home.

小題2:Her father didn’t take care of the garden because _______.
A．he had to look after his wife

C．he was not strict in his job
D．he no longer enjoyed working there
小題3:How did Jennifer probably feel when she came back home?
a. worried    b. crazy    c. tired     d. disappointed     e. shocked     f. excited
A．a(chǎn), c, eB．a(chǎn), b, c C．b, c, eD．d, e, f
小題4:What can we conclude from this passage?
A．In fact Jennifer’s mother had been sick for days.
B．As Jennifer walked towards home, she became increasingly scared.
C．Having experienced a lot outside, Jennifer felt home was really warm and safe for her.
D．When she found the garden deserted, she realized she got cross.

With her eyes wet and her voice tight from  23 the tears, she responded,“Heart trouble.”Her eyes lowered as she  24 . “I've already lost my mum, so I don't think I can stand losing him.”
I couldn't respond. I was  25 . My heart ached for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great  26 my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was,   27 still is, for her. I wouldn't like anyone to go  28 that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn't only a bus driver. That was  29 her job. She had a whole world of family and concerns too. I had never thought of her as  30 but a driver.

Prince Roman was a Polish nobleman, a captain in the army of Czar Nicholas of Russia. When his young wife died, the prince left the army and returned in sorrow to his native Poland.
In time, love for his country and its people took the place of his lost love. He joined a Polish rising against the Russians. The rising was crushed, and Prince Roman was taken prisoner. His relatives and friends begged the military court to have mercy on him.
The president of the court received these appeals kindly. He was a good Russian, but he was also a good-natured man. Russian hatred of Poles was not as fierce at that time as it became later; and the Russian felt sympathetic as soon as he saw the prince's thin, tired, sun-burnt face.
The court of three officers sat in a bare room, behind a long black table. Some clerks sat at the two ends, but no one else was there when the guards brought in the prince.
Those four walls shut out from Prince Roman all sights and sounds of freedom, all hopes of the future, all comforting thoughts. How much love for Poland remained in him then? How much love of life? He stood before his judges alone, having refused their permission to sit. He answered their first formal questions — his name and so on — clearly and politely although he felt too weary to talk.
Then the president of the court seemed to suggest how the young man could best help himself. He asked questions in a way that almost put the right answers in the prisoner's mouth.
“Didn't your wife's death drive you to despair? Wasn't your mind unbalanced by that sad event ?”
Prince Roman was silent.
"You were not fully responsible for you conduct, were you?"
Prince Roman was silent.
"You made a sudden blind decision to join the rising. You didn't realize that your actions were dangerous and dishonourable. Isn't that the truth of this unfortunate matter?"
The judges looked at the prisoner hopefully. In silence the prince reached for a pen and some paper. He wrote, "I joined the rising because I believe it was just." He pushed the paper towards the president, who took it and read it in silence.
Prince Roman was sentenced to hard work for life in the Siberian salt mines. It was a sentence of delayed death.
When Czar Nicholas read the report and sentence, he added in his own handwriting, "Make sure that this prisoner walks in chains every step of the way to Siberia."
