I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary(傳教士). When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of them laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm      .
"I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very    , I will do!"
When it was possible, he would spend an hour     to chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons,     himself to be the person in the speech.
"In the beginning, the chickens looked so        , then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been        by my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me       . Gradually, the effect of this practice became more and more   and I had a better understanding of the exact      of my stammer, so I found the ability to speak more."
"You may not know that my father was always tyrannical(專橫的). He        believed in the old saying: 'Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not      much.' During the whole childhood,   I spoke or commented, he criticized me seriously, which    my shy personality. I used to worry about being  at, so I became a stammerer. From then on, I kept     in front of everyone because they didn't want to see my embarrassment. But later I found myself talking in front of chickens, stammers disappeared      , therefore I regained my   ."
Now, the previous boy is the best at speaking and one of the most   missionaries. You can hardly imagine he used to have a serious language    . So when you come across disadvantages, you should believe you can     them by yourself.

解析試題分析:
一個從小口吃的男孩,因為有夢、想成為最好的傳教士,刻苦練習(xí),最終戰(zhàn)勝了口吃并成為成功的傳教士。
【小題1】A. sincerely:真誠地; B. impolitely:無禮地、粗魯?shù)兀?C. strangely:奇怪地;D. privately:私下地、背地里。題意:當(dāng)男孩向親朋敘說自己的愿望時,有些人粗魯?shù)卮驌羲臒崆。故B項正確。
【小題2】A. frequently:經(jīng)常地、頻繁地;B. fluently:流利地;C. obviously:明顯地;D. completely:完全地、徹底地。題意:男孩相信自己能克服口吃的毛病,把話說流利。故B項正確。
【小題3】A. contribute to:為……做貢獻、捐贈;B. see to:照看、照管; C. turn to:轉(zhuǎn)向(某人尋求幫助) D. speak to:對著……說話。題意:為練習(xí)說話、克服口吃,男孩一有機會就會對著雞群說話。故D項正確。
【小題4】A. imagine:想象;B. consider:認(rèn)為、將……看做……;C. declare:宣布、宣稱;D. find:發(fā)現(xiàn)。題意:男孩將雞群看成活人,而將自己想象成演講人。consider指“觀點、看法”,涉及對某人或某事的評價。與題意不合。故A項正確。
【小題5】A. satisfied:滿意的;B. pleased:高興的;C. frightened;害怕的;D. surprised:驚訝的。題意:男孩剛開始對著雞群說話時,雞仔們自然的反應(yīng)就是“害怕”。后來被逐漸吸引。“驚訝”、“滿意”、“高興”等都不能用來描述雞仔們的反應(yīng)。故C項正確。
【小題6】A. attracted:被吸引;B. beaten:被擊敗、沮喪;C. bothered:被打攪;D. influenced:被影響。題意:雞仔們放下口中食物,傾聽男孩的話,似乎被他有力而有效的語言所吸引。故A項正確。
【小題7】A. casually:隨意地;B. carefully:仔細(xì)地;C. luckily:幸運地;D. cautiously:謹(jǐn)慎地。題意:從上文“放下口中食物傾聽”可知,雞仔們在“仔細(xì)地”聽男孩說話。故選擇B項。
【小題8】A. obvious:明顯的;B. slight:輕微的;C. crucial:至關(guān)重要的;D. common:常見的。題意:練習(xí)的效果越來越明顯。后文也說明,男孩最終擺脫了口吃的毛病,正是找到口吃原因以及練習(xí)的緣故。故A項正確。
【小題9】A. effect:效果、影響;B. benefit:好處、益處;C. cause:原因、起因;D. harm:害處、壞處。從下文可知:男孩的父親專橫,認(rèn)為“男孩子可博學(xué)但不可多話”,整個孩提時代,只要他說話或發(fā)表看法,他父親就會嚴(yán)厲批評他。這正是造成男孩口吃的原因。故C項正確。
【小題10】A. originally:起初;B. personally:親自;C. doubtfully:猶豫不決;D. stubbornly:固執(zhí)地。題意:男孩父親固執(zhí)地信奉“男孩子要博學(xué)少言”的古訓(xùn)。從男孩一說話父親就嚴(yán)厲批評來看,其態(tài)度是堅定的。故D項正確。
【小題11】A. think:認(rèn)為;B. listen:聽;C. play:玩耍;D. talk:談話、說話。古訓(xùn):男孩要博學(xué)但不可多話。D項正確。
【小題12】A. since:因為;自從;B. before:在……之前;C. whenever:無論何時;D. unless:除非。題意:無論何時,只要男孩說話,都會受到父親嚴(yán)厲指責(zé)。故選擇C項。
【小題13】A. apply to:申請;B. lead to:導(dǎo)致;C. refer to:指;參看;D. owe sth. to sb.:欠某人某物。 題意:父親的嚴(yán)厲指責(zé)“造成”男孩害羞的性格。B項正確。
【小題14】A. amaze:使 ……驚奇;B. study:研究、學(xué)習(xí);C. laugh:大笑;D. look:看。題意:因為害羞,過去總是擔(dān)心被人“嘲笑”,所以變成了口吃。laugh at sb. 嘲笑某人。C項正確。
【小題15】A. silent:沉默的;B. active:活躍的;C. noisy:吵鬧的;D. upset:難過的。題意:因為害羞、怕人嘲笑,所以在人前保持沉默。A項符合題意。
【小題16】A. logically:邏輯上;B. typically:典型地;C. equally:平等地;D. naturally:自然地。題意:對著雞仔說話,不必?fù)?dān)心被嘲笑,口吃“自然”也就消失了。D項正確。
【小題17】A. strength:力量、力氣;B. dream:夢想;C. confidence:自信;D. freedom:自由。題意:口吃消失了,自然獲得了“自信”。C項正確。
【小題18】A. successful:成功的;B. intelligent:聰明的;C. modest:謙遜的;D. responsible:有責(zé)任心的、需負(fù)責(zé)的。男孩的夢想是成為傳教士,他做到了,且很成功。他現(xiàn)在能言善辯,這與“聰明”、“謙虛”、“有責(zé)任心”等沒有關(guān)系。故選擇A項。
【小題19】A. gift:禮物、天資;B. barrier:障礙;C. ability:能力;D. study:學(xué)習(xí)。題意:看到他現(xiàn)在能言善辯,很難想象過去的他曾有語言障礙。B項符合題意。
【小題20】A. arrange:安排;B. exchange:交換;C. reduce:減少;D. change:改變。題意:遇到劣勢,要相信自己能夠“改變”劣勢。D項正確。

Mrs. White lost her dog. After searching place after place, she placed a “Lost Dog” advertisement in the local newspaper.
The following morning her phone rang and a       voice began, “I’m calling about your   __  .” Then the caller coughed and cleared her voice a few times. She       that she wasn’t feeling well and that, in fact, she hadn’t felt well       her husband died three years ago. She went on to tell that her parents had passed away, and her sister was       with a deadly illness. Even her friends were not doing well.
After 30 minutes of      , sympathizing and even trying offers of help, the dog owner   __   the conversation back to the       subject. “About the dog,” she said.
“Oh,” the caller      , “I don’ t have him. I just thought I’d call to       you up.”
Maybe her technique needed improving, but her       were right on. And though “cheering up” may not be exactly what we      , we certainly need encouragement ---       --- at times. The need for sincere       is basic among human beings.
Do you need encouragement? There’re those who will support your side. Educator Booker T. Washington observed, “There’re two ways of       one’s strength: one is pushing down;   __   is pulling up.” There’re people ready to pull you up when others are pushing down. We need those people in our lives - those who use their strength by pulling us up.
I believe these people can be found      . I believe that we can all become “    ”, lifting one another from dark pits of discouragement to the light of      . And when that happens, the world will never be      .

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after     thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head       his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a       person, he had been       to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a       collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays      .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our      ,” said Laurence. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant       bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be       there happily reading our newspapers, when       so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd       with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the       of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too      . “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.”      , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet      . Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't       him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his       from now on. And what of James McKay?       he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “     the most exciting birthday      !” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”

My dream is to become an orthodontist, fly to new heights, and impact the world. Ever since the day I got braces(牙箍), I have thought about how    it would be for me to become an orthodontist and make other    like me have more beautiful smiles.

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after     thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head       his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a       person, he had been       to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a       collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays      .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our      ,” said Laurence. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant       bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be       there happily reading our newspapers, when       so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd       with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the       of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too      . “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.”      , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet      . Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't       him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his       from now on. And what of James McKay?       he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “     the most exciting birthday      !” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”
