When I was in the 8th grade in Ohio, a girl named Helen in my class had a terrible accident. As she was   31  to the bus in order not to miss it, she slipped on the ice and fell under the back wheels of the bus. She   32  the accident but was paralyzed from the waist down. I went to see her, in my 13-year-old   33  thinking that she wouldn’t live   34  from then on.
Over the years, I   35  and didn’t think much about Helen after that. Three years ago, in Florida, my oldest son was hit by a car while riding his bike,   36  a terrible brain injury. While I was looking after my son, a lady who said she was the hospital’s social worker called. It was a (an)   37  trying (難受的) day. I burst into tears for no reason and rang   38 .
A short time 1ater, a beautiful woman, in a wheelchair,   39  into my son’s room with a box of   40 . After 16 years, I still   41  Helen. She smiled, handed me the tissues and hugged me. I told her who I was, and after we both went through the shock of that, she began to tell me about   42  since we last saw each other. She married, had children and got her degree so that she   43  the path for those people who were less   44  than her. She told me that if there was anything she could give me, it would be   45 .
Looking at this wonderful, giving person, I felt   46 . But I also felt the first hope I had since learning that my son was   47 . From this person that I thought would have no   48  of life, I learned that where there is life, there is hope. My son miraculously (神奇的)   49  and we moved north, but I owe Helen   50  that I can never repay.

解析【小題1】Helen是因為追趕公交車而不小心滑倒在公交車后車輪底下的,因此選running表示“追趕”。
【小題2】從后半句“(Helen)從腰部以下全部癱瘓”可知,Helen從車禍中幸存了下來。survive the  accident是常用搭配,表示“從事故中幸存下來”。
【小題3】in one’s mind意為“在某人的心目中”。
【小題4】作者認為Helen成為殘疾人之后很難再過正常人的生活,因此這里用normally。
【小題5】從后一句可知,作者從Ohio搬到了Florida。因此選moved。
【小題6】兒子被汽車撞了,導致了嚴重的腦損傷。
【小題7】兒子出了車禍對母親來說是一件非常難受的事情,因此選particularly“特別”;normally“正常地”,necessarily“必要地”,essentially“重要地”,均不符合語境。
【小題8】ring off掛斷電話。從前句的作者的情緒可知,她應該是掛斷了電話。
【小題9】坐著輪椅不可能是跑進、走進或是移進房間,而應該是滾動輪椅進入房間的。
【小題10】由后面的“She smiled, handed me the tissues and hugged me.”可知Helen來的時候帶著紙巾。
【小題11】雖然16年沒見,但作者還是認出了Helen,用recognized。
【小題12】“當我們從驚訝中緩過神來以后,Helen開始向我講述我們最后一次見面之后她的生活——結(jié)婚、生子、獲得學位”。B、C、D三項都不全面。
【小題13】smooth the path for sb.固定搭配,“為某人鋪平道路”。
【小題14】作為殘疾人,Helen能結(jié)婚、生子、獲得學位,是很幸運的事,因此她這樣做就為那些生活比她還要不幸的人鋪平了生活道路。
【小題15】由下文中的I learned that where there is life, there is hope可以推出答案。
【小題16】在一名身殘志堅的朋友面前,作者感覺到自己的渺小,因此用small,而不是weak(軟弱的),pitiful(同情的),shameless(無恥的)。
【小題17】從上文提到的“my oldest son was hit by a car while riding his bike,   6  (causing) a terrible brain injury”可知這里作者指的是兒子在意外中受傷,用hurt,而其他的詞性不符合語境。
【小題18】與前文提到的Helen不會過正常人的生活相對應,作者曾經(jīng)以為Helen在身體殘疾后,她的生活質(zhì)量不會很好,而不是沒有用處或沒有意義。
【小題19】從前面的修飾詞miraculously及后面的moved north可知,這里應指的是作者兒子康復,用recovered而不是treated治療,worsened惡化,relieved減輕。
【小題20】此句意為“但是我欠Helen一筆永遠償還不了的債”。

There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so    36    at the time may cause us to smile years later.

     One such memory is a phone call I    37    when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local    38    show. Entrants(參加者)were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣誕老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(獎勵) the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

     Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then    41    the phone to me. I didn’t    42    the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a    43    connection to Santa, that was important.

     I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had    44    the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had    45    a wall with crayons(蠟筆). Even I knew that this was not the kind of    46    that Santa would approve.

     Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone(語氣)of    47   , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I    48    that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.

     I    49    down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime(罪行)had not    50    unpunished. Santa would    51    know that I’d been bad!

     It turned out that I did get a    52    present from the radio station and its sponsor(贊助商). And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a    53    mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not    54    a piece of coal(煤).

     I wonder what Santa has in    55    for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鯨魚)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(無知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(權(quán)威). To earn my respect, you have to be smart or  55   . I’ll never respect you just because you happen to be in charge or have a degree.
