"I…I thought you could use it for something."Susan's (36)Cdid nothing to help us understand why a dark blue carpet remnant(零頭布料)was being (37)Das a birthday gift.The murmured"thanks"could be barely heard as Holly tried not to allow her disappointment to show.
Holly's disappointment didn't become (38)Auntil the following evening when she came downstairs to say good night."Well,I guess we know how much my best friend (39)Bme,huh,Mom?"she said (40)C,with her head down.
"I'm so sorry,honey,"was all I could manage to say.
The next morning,I carried a garbage bag outside.My heart sank as I (41)Athe lid of the garbage can and saw Susan's carpet lying there. (42)Bonly a moment,I picked it up and brought it into the house.
"Susan (43)Cyou and me to go over to her house after school tomorrow."Weeks later Holly announced as she arrived home from school. (44)Aher voice carried a so-what attitude,I sensed she was pleased by the invitation.
The next day we (45)Bto the destination along the winding country road.A tall woman stood in the doorway to (46)Dus as we approached the small farmhouse.The house was (47)Cbut neatly decorated with used furniture.From the (48)Awith the woman we knew Susan had long been separated from her parents and she was Susan's stepmother.
A warm light shone in her eyes as she (49)Cto me her fondness for Susan.I came to respect this (50)Bwoman who had opened her home to a young girl and attempted to make a difference in her life.
As daylight began to (51)D,we offered our thanks and said goodbye.Holly sat quietly in the car leaning her body forward as if willing the car to move faster.No sooner had we come to a stop than she (52)Aopened the car door and walked purposefully toward the garbage can.
After pulling the car into the garage,I went inside.By this time,Holly was sitting at the kitchen table staring out of the window."Is this what you were looking for?"I held out the piece of (53)C."Thanks,Mom."A tear or two (54)Dfrom her eyes and fell onto the dark blue remnant that,as if (55)C,had become the most precious birthday present in the whole world.

解答 36-40 CDABC    41-45 ABCAB    46-50 DCACB    51-55 DACDC
36.C
A項(xiàng),adaptation"適應(yīng);改編";B項(xiàng),negotiation"談判;轉(zhuǎn)讓";C項(xiàng),explanation"解釋;說(shuō)明";D項(xiàng),assumption"假定;設(shè)想".
由下文可知,Susan 的解釋(explanation)依然不能讓人理解為什么她會(huì)送一份破舊的生日禮物給 Holly.其他項(xiàng)均不符合句意.故正確答案為C.
37.D
A項(xiàng),value"重視;認(rèn)為…有價(jià)值";B項(xiàng),desert"遺棄;放棄";C項(xiàng),describe"描述";D項(xiàng),present"呈現(xiàn);介紹;贈(zèng)送(禮物)".
由句意可知,一小塊地毯的零頭布料被當(dāng)作生日禮物贈(zèng)送(present)給了 Holly.故正確答案為D.
38.A
 由上文可知,Holly 竭力不讓自己的失望情緒顯露出來(lái),直到晚上才變得明顯(evident).strange 意為"奇怪的;陌生的",slight 意為"輕微的;少量的",absent 意為"缺席的",均不符合句意.故正確答案為A.
39.B
 A項(xiàng),go against"違反;反對(duì);不利于";B項(xiàng),think of"想起;思考";C項(xiàng),learn from"從…中學(xué)習(xí)";D項(xiàng),pay for"支付;賠償;為…付出代價(jià)".
本句中 think much of 為固定搭配,意為"高度評(píng)價(jià)某人".結(jié)合句意,Holly 傷心地問(wèn)"我"她最好的朋友到底是怎么看待和評(píng)價(jià)(think how much of)她的.故正確答案為B.
40.C
A項(xiàng),apparently"顯然地;表面上";B項(xiàng),regularly"定期地;有規(guī)律地";C項(xiàng),miserably"可憐地;可悲地";D項(xiàng),consistently"一貫地,一致地".
由上文中的 disappointment 可知,小 Holly 對(duì)最好的朋友送的生日禮物感到很失望,很傷心.因此此處應(yīng)為她低著頭可憐地(miserably)向媽媽表達(dá)自己的想法.故正確答案為C.
41.A由下文中"我"在垃圾箱內(nèi)看到 Susan 的禮物可知,此處應(yīng)為"我"拿起(lift)了垃圾箱的蓋子.throw 意為"扔",close 意為"關(guān)閉",repair 意為"修理",均不符合句意.故正確答案為A.
42.B由句意可知,"我"看到 Susan 的禮物后僅僅猶豫(hesitate)了一下,就把它撿起拿回屋中.pause 意為"暫停",last 意為"持續(xù)",均不符合句意,故排除;think 意為"思考",因文中并未提及"我"的顧慮究竟是什么,即思考的內(nèi)容是什么,故與 hesitate 相比,后者更佳.故正確答案為B.
43.C
A項(xiàng),expect"期待,期望";B項(xiàng),convince"說(shuō)服;使…信服";C項(xiàng),invite"邀請(qǐng)";D項(xiàng),permit"允許;許可".
由句意及本段最后一句中的 invitation 可知,Susan 邀請(qǐng)(invite)Holly 和"我"去她的家中.其他項(xiàng)均不符合題意.故正確答案為C.
44.A 由句意可知,盡管(although)她的語(yǔ)調(diào)中有一種隨意的態(tài)度,但可以看出她很開心收到邀請(qǐng).由前面的 so-what 與后面的 pleased 可以推斷出前后有轉(zhuǎn)折與讓步關(guān)系,故選用 Although.since 意為"自從;既然",because 意為"因?yàn)?,once 意為"一旦;曾經(jīng)",均不符合題意.故正確答案為A.
45.B 由文章倒數(shù)第二段中的 car 可知,母女兩人是開車(drive)去 Susan 家的.move 意為"移動(dòng)",walk 意為"步行",return 意為"返回;歸還",均不符合文意.故正確答案為B.
46.D由句意可知,當(dāng)我們接近那所鄉(xiāng)村住所時(shí),Susan 的母親站在門廊中迎接(greet)我們.direct 意為"管理,指揮",defend 意為"防御",arrest 意為"拘捕",均不符合題意.故正確答案為D.
47.C由句意可知,Susan 家的房子雖然很破舊(shabby),但用使用過(guò)的家具布置得很整潔.由后文可以看出,Susan 的家境并不富裕,因此房子是破舊的.messy 意為"混亂的",noisy 意為"吵鬧的",smelly 意為"味道難聞的",均不符合題意.故正確答案為C.
48.A由文意可知,從與女人的交談(chat)中"我"了解到她是 Susan 的養(yǎng)母,而非轉(zhuǎn)換(switch)、交換(exchange)和辯論(debate).故正確答案為A.
49.C由句意可知,當(dāng)她向"我"透露(reveal)對(duì) Susan 的喜愛時(shí)眼睛里閃爍著光芒.clarify 意為"澄清;闡明";declare 意為"宣稱",均不符合語(yǔ)境,故排除;admit 意為"承認(rèn)",雖符合句意,但并不存在 admit to sb.的用法,故排除.故正確答案為C.
50.B
 A項(xiàng),light-hearted"輕松的,無(wú)憂無(wú)慮的";B項(xiàng),generous-hearted"慷慨的,無(wú)私的";C項(xiàng),soft-hearted"心腸軟的;仁慈的";D項(xiàng),cold-hearted"無(wú)情的;冷淡的".
由上文可知,這個(gè)女人作為 Susan 的養(yǎng)母對(duì)待 Susan 竟然與對(duì)親生女兒一樣,允許她走進(jìn)自己的生命并愿意嘗試為她的人生做出改變,因此是慷慨無(wú)私的(generous-hearted).故正確答案為B.
51.D 由句意可知,當(dāng)日光漸漸減弱消失(fade),我們就準(zhǔn)備告別了.end 意為"結(jié)束",drop 意為"掉落",均不符合題意,故排除;darken 意為"變暗,使變暗",與主語(yǔ) daylight 搭配不當(dāng),故排除.故正確答案為D.

52.A結(jié)合上下文,Holly 急于找回自己扔掉的 Susan 的禮物,故快速(quickly)打開車門下車.carefully 意為"認(rèn)真地",quietly 意為"安靜地",skillfully 意為"有技巧地",均不符合句意.故正確答案為A.
53.C結(jié)合上下文及 the piece of 可知,"我"拿出了女兒正在找尋的 Susan 的禮物:那塊地毯(carpet)的零頭布料.gift 意為""禮物,不能與 the piece of 搭配,故排除;garbage 意為"垃圾",bag 意為"袋子",不符合句意,故排除.故正確答案為C.
54.D由前面的 a tear or two 可知,一兩滴眼淚從 Holly 的眼中滑落(slip).flood 意為"涌出";pour 意為"傾瀉;流出";stream 意為"流動(dòng),涌出",均不符合句意.故正確答案為D.
55.C
A項(xiàng),by nature"天生地;天性";B項(xiàng),by luck"僥幸地";C項(xiàng),by magic"用魔法地";D項(xiàng),by accident"偶然;意外地".
由句意可知,Holly 的眼淚落在那塊地毯碎布上之后,像施了魔法(by magic),它變成了世界上最珍貴的生日禮物.其他三項(xiàng)均不符合題意.故正確答案為C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 記敘文是"完形填空"中?嫉奈捏w,其內(nèi)容涉及人物傳記、事件敘述等方面,也有少數(shù)記敘文在記人、敘事的同時(shí)也發(fā)表作者對(duì)人物或事件的看法.在做此類題目時(shí)要把握文章主旨,善于從上下文去尋找答案.

2.SYDNEY-Australia's economic boom is encouraging a steady stream of unexpected visitors looking for work:Americans.
U.S.citizens are heading to Australia in small but growing numbers as near-10% unemployment at home drives more to look for jobs Down Under,where China's thirst for iron ore (礦石 ) and energy is transforming the Pacific nation into an economic powerhouse.
A bricklaying student from Silver Trowel,a leading provider of quality education and training in the building and construction industry,apprentices (當(dāng)學(xué)徒) on a building project in Western Australia,where workers are in short supply.
Daniel Davila,a 23-year-old floorer from Camarillo,California made the 14-hour move across the Pacific two years ago.He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for﹩8.90 an hour when he couldn't get work fixing floors.
On a good day in Australia,he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars (US﹩50.21)an hour-about twice the amount for a typical flooring job in the U.S.He plans to start his own flooring business.
"I can make what I did in a week in the U.S.in less than a day here,"said Mr.Davila,who lives near a mining boom town in Western Australia.
Australian government figures show just under 7,000Americans currently working on long-term visas,an 80% jump over the past five years.U.S.citizens are now the third-largest group applying for so-called 457work visas,after British and Indian nationals.Americans with degrees in areas such as accounting or mine engineering,as well as other skilled workers,can obtain a nonrenewable(不可續(xù)期的) permit for as much as a three-year stay.After that,they can apply for the renewable 457,which allows up to a four-year stay.
The need for workers is particularly pressing in Western Australia.The mining state's unemployment rate was 4.5% in November,below the national average of 5.2%.Drivers of heavy trucks can pull in six-figure salaries while experienced crane (起重機(jī)) operators can earn hundreds of thousands a year.Attracting skilled workers is a shift for Australia,which historically sent many of its most highly educated to the U.S.a(chǎn)nd Europe,according to migration data.

60.A growing number of Americans go to work in AustraliaC.
A.a(chǎn)s a result of the encouragement of Australia
B.out of their ambition of finding valuable resources
C.a(chǎn)s a result of high unemployment in the U.S.
D.out of their determination to realize their dreams
61.It can be inferred from the passage that 457work visas areD_.
A.for students on the building project       B.especially for American workers
C.especially for those out of work           D.for skilled workers in some fields
62.According to the passage,how many Americans worked on long term visas in Australia five years ago?B
A.About 3,200.      B.About 3,900.
C.About 5,600.      D.About 7,000.
63.It is implied in the passage that _C_.
A.foreigners have to give up their original professional jobs when working in Australia
B.there are more U.S.citizens hoping to work in Australia than from other countries
C.foreign skilled workers may earn more money in Australia than in their own countries.
