Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping paper on his birthday present. He was so 36  ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball 37 , Chuck Hart. 38_ Hart was criticized for his poor sportsmanship and infamous 39_ , he was a great player. In fact, Travis wasn’t thinking about Hart’s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s 40 on the side of the box. He realized that something was 41 as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was  42  for his amazing work in the community.
Travis’s hands 43 ; his heart stopped. It wasn’t that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think?
They were the wrong shoes and Travis would be 44   by the other players. When he looked up into his dad’s eyes, however, Travis knew he 45 tell him. “Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes,” Travis said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
Next morning his dad drove him to school. When they 46  in front of his destination, Travis slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Travis, wait a minute…” his dad said 47 “Travis, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)  48  . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Travis’s feet, “is someone I 49 . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in 50 ? ”
“ No,” Travis said.
“ Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a(n) 51   when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Travis,  52 you were polite and made the best of it. You have honor, like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I’ m hoping that someday, your  53 will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
When Travis looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes 54  . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful 55   .

解析試題分析:Travis 一直希望能有一雙和隊友們一樣的印有球星Chuck Hart名字的運動鞋,生日那天他卻失望地發(fā)現父親買給他的是另一位球星代言的運動鞋,但是Travis仍然盡力表現得很高興。后來他父親的一番話讓他的思想有了改變,對鞋有了新的認識。
【小題1】C形容詞辨析。A 驚訝的;B 羞愧的;C 激動的;D 擔心的。從情理推斷當Travis一直盼望著能有一雙和隊友們同樣品牌的運動鞋時,他看到生日禮物是雙鞋的時候心情會非常激動,C選項正確。
【小題2】B名詞辨析。A 團隊;B 運動員;C 教練;D 比賽。從下文Hart was criticized …h(huán)e was a great player.判斷B選項正確。
【小題3】D連詞辨析。A 除非;B 如果;C 因為;D 盡管。從語境可知前句他因為體育道德差和聲名狼藉的行為受到人們指責和后面他是個偉大的運動員是轉折關系,所以D選項正確。
【小題4】C名詞辨析。A 技能,技巧;B 表演,表現;C 行為;D 行動。從下文In fact, Travis wasn’t thinking about Hart’s behavior;可知他不在乎Hart的行為,只想要他的名字出現在自己的鞋上。正確答案是C 。
【小題5】A名詞辨析。A 名字;B 照片;C 標識;D 模型。從下文Travis, I know…, but I saw the names of the two guys 可知鞋上印有球星的名字。A選項正確。
【小題6】B形容詞辨析。A奇怪的;B 錯誤的;C 真實的;D 滑稽的。從上文可知他開始非常興奮,但是這時意識到不是他想要的球星的鞋子,所以是感到事情不對頭。故B選項正確。
【小題7】A形容詞辨析。A 出名的;B 受到鼓舞的;C 收養(yǎng)的;D 受到影響的。從下文父親的解釋可知這個球星也是非常有名的。所以A選項正確。
【小題8】B動詞辨析。A掉下,摔倒;B 僵住;C搖晃;D 折疊。從下文his heart stopped可知Travis此時心情復雜,思索著如何去面對隊友們,所以手也停止了動作,故B選項正確。
【小題9】C動詞辨析。A 質問,審問;B 發(fā)現,注意到;C 恥笑,戲弄;D 攻擊。從上下文可知隊友們都穿這個品牌的運動鞋,出于青少年攀比的心理,如果他沒有這樣的鞋隊友們應該是笑話他,所以C選項正確。
【小題10】D情態(tài)動詞辨析。A 禁止;B 沒必要;C 不會;D 不能夠。從文章的敘述可知Travis是個懂事的孩子,怕父親傷心,所以他覺得不能讓父親知道他的失望。所以D選項正確。
【小題11】A動詞短語辨析。A 車減速停下;B 舉起,搭建;C 占據,從事;D 出現,調大。從Travis slowly opened the car door.可以判斷他是到了學校,車子停下來。所以A選項正確。
【小題12】B 副詞辨析。A 和平地;B 猶豫地;C 高興地;D 自然地。從父親說的話“Hey, Travis, wait a minute…”中的省略號判斷父親此時在想如何給孩子解釋這件事,故B選項正確。
【小題13】A名詞辨析。A 選擇;B 努力;C 評論;D 錯誤。從下文可知父親是從Travis喜歡的鞋子和他自己喜歡的鞋子中選了一雙,所以此處應該是make a choice 做出了選擇。A選項正確。
【小題14】C動詞辨析。A 相信;B 想念;C 欽佩,贊賞;D 記住。從下文He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight可知Ryann是個品質高尚有團隊精神的運動員,父親希望Travis也成為這樣的人,所以父親應該是欣賞Robert Ryann,故C選項正確。
【小題15】D名詞辨析。A危險;B生氣,憤怒;C難過;D麻煩。從下文可知Robert Ryann從不和教練頂嘴,從不打架而且合作意識強,所以是從不惹麻煩。所以D 選項正確。
【小題16】C名詞辨析。A隊友;B成年人;C 小孩;D 學生。按情理推測孩子生日時收到不喜歡的禮物,一般會表現出來,但是Travis卻表現的非?酥疲z毫沒有表現出失望的樣子,句意:當你收到你不喜歡的鞋子時,本來可能會表現的像個小孩子一樣,所以C選項正確。
【小題17】C連詞辨析。A 所以,于是;B 并且;C 但是;D或者,否則。從語境可知此處you were polite and made the best of it.和上文是轉折關系。所以C選項正確。
【小題18】C名詞辨析。A榮譽; B 勇氣;C 名字;D 信仰,信念。從上下文可知運動鞋上是球星的名字,所以父親希望Travis有一天也會因為優(yōu)秀而使自己的名字出現在運動鞋上。
【小題19】D副詞辨析。A 清楚地;B 仔細地;C 耐心地;D不同地。從上文可知父親的話使Travis改變了認識,所以看鞋時的心態(tài)不一樣了,D選項正確。
【小題20】A名詞辨析。A禮物;B微笑;C 愿望;D 課,教訓。從第一段可知鞋子是作為生日禮物送給他的,此處的禮物既指鞋子也指父親對孩子推心置腹的一席話。A為正確選項。

When I walk through the streets of San Francisco’s business districts, white people stare at me as if I were a circus clown.
Their staring eyes don’t see that I get ____1____ A’s in school, or that I am a captain of the football team, or that I belong to ___2____youth organizations. All they see is that I am 6-foot-4, young ,black, and male-----a potential ____3____to them.
White men look at me as if I am up to no good, or as if they are ____4____to me. White women just look at me with____5____, say, sometimes they cross the street when they see my friends and me coming, or walk in the street and only get back on the sidewalk after we ____6____.
Many people come to San Francisco to get away from the stereotypes(成見) of the cities they were born and ____7_____ in. The majority of the blacks and Latinos who live in this city don’t have that luxury.
How can you feel at home when people are_____8_____telling you to get back to Africa or Mexico ----or just back to “where you belong”?
My way of dealing with this kind of thing has _____9_____over the years. In the past, when my friends and I would walk the streets and a hundred pairs of white eyes would look at me as if we were the lowest form of dirt, it would make us angry enough to hurt or ____10____them.
Now I’m more likely to use ____11____ to defend myself against those eyes. To women who clutch their purse in terror, I’ll say, “Man, I ain’t gonna do anything to you, I got money in my pocket!” My cousin has even started wearing a T-shirt ____12_____ in big letters, “NO, WHITE LADY, I DON'T’ WANT YOUR PURSE.” 
The most painful thing is when we get those___13____ stares from black people, especially elderly ones. I want o say to them, “We’re black too. Why would we do something to you?”
Usually I react more ____14____to all of this than a lot of my friends do. Some of them, so brainwashed, just think it’s part of life and that there is nothing you can do.
But for me, that’s not good enough. I just can’t stand it when every day a hundred pair of eyes tell you you’re not_____15_____.

A daughter thought life was unpromising to her and complained to her father about it. She did not know how she was going to   21  and wanted to give up. She was   22  of fighting and struggling. It seemed as if one problem was just solved before a new one   23 .
Her father, a cook, took her to the   24 . He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high   25 . Soon the pots came to a   26 . In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter sucked her teeth and   27  waited, asking repeatedly what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the   28  . He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he spooned the coffee out and placed it in another. Turning to her he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”
“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to   29  the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the   30 , she observed the hard-boiled egg! Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. She smiled   31  she tasted its rich flavor. She humbly asked, “What does it mean, Father?”
He explained that each of them had faced the same   32 , boiling water, but each   33   differently. The carrot went in   34  and hard. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it   35  and became weak. The egg had been   36 . Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after sitting   37  the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique,   38 . After they were in the boiling water, they had   39  the water.
“Which are you?” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door,   40  do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?”

Not too long ago, a story that happened at Walt Disney touched me greatly. A guest  46 out of our Polynesian Village resort(度假勝地) at Walt Disney was asked how she  47 her visit. She told the front-desk clerk she had had a(n)  48 vacation, but was heartbroken about  49 several rolls of Kodak color film(膠卷) she had not yet  50 . At that moment she was particularly  51 over the loss of the pictures she had shot at our Polynesian Luau,  52 this was a memory she especially treasured.
Now, please understand that we have no written service rules  53 lost photos in the park.  54 , the clerk at the front desk  55 Disney’s idea of caring for our  56 . She asked the woman to leave her a couple rolls of  57 film, promising she would take care of the rest of our show at Polynesian Luau.
Two weeks later the guest received a  58 at her home. In it were photos of all the actors of our show,  59 signed by each performer. There were also  60 of the public procession(游行隊伍) and fireworks in the park, taken by the front-desk clerk in her own
  61 after work. I happened to know this  62 because this guest wrote us a letter. She said that  63 in her life had she received such good service from any business.
Excellent  64 does not come from policy(政策性的) handbooks. It comes from people who  65 —and from a culture that encourages and shapes that attitude.
