My brother and I were brought up in a town in Scotland. Our father was a struggling       , but I always knew he was      . He never criticized us, but used       to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them water, they die.” I     as a child I said something         about somebody, and my father said, “        time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best       people, I would get the best     .From then on I’ve always tried to      the principle in my life and later in running my company.
Dad’s also always been very      . At 15, I started a magazine. It was       a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a       :stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.
I decided to leave, and Dad tried to sway me from my decision,    any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind,  he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad       me to go into law. And I’ve     __regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist,    _  I didn’t pursue my      .You know what you want. Go fulfill it.”
As       turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national       for young people in the U.K.My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad       me.

解析試題分析:父親是一名勤奮的律師,他對(duì)孩子們從來(lái)不指責(zé)批評(píng),而是用自己獨(dú)特的教育方式去引導(dǎo)孩子們,讓孩子們?nèi)グl(fā)現(xiàn)別人身上閃光的地方,從而培養(yǎng)自己的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)。對(duì)于孩子們的夢(mèng)想,父親也給予理解和支持,在本文中作者通過(guò)回憶表達(dá)了對(duì)父親的感激之情。
【小題1】. B.名詞辨析。A. 生物學(xué)家;B. 律師;C. 經(jīng)理;D. 園藝師。從下文“my dad persuaded me to go into law”可知作者的父母親從事的是法律工作,應(yīng)該是一個(gè)律師,答案選B。
【小題2】. D.形容詞辨析。A.嚴(yán)格的;B. 誠(chéng)實(shí)的;C. 博學(xué)的;D. 特別的。根據(jù)上下文可知父親雖是一個(gè)為生計(jì)而奮斗的律師,但他對(duì)孩子們從不批評(píng),而是贊揚(yáng),通情達(dá)理并且允許作者棄學(xué)辦雜志,所以作者說(shuō)父親教育孩子的方式卻很特別,選D,其他選項(xiàng)不符合語(yǔ)境。
【小題3】 C.名詞辨析。A.力量;B. 勇氣;C.表?yè)P(yáng);D. 溫暖。前一句說(shuō)他從不批評(píng)我們,后一句用but進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)折,顯然要選的詞應(yīng)該與criticize詞義相反,故選C。
【小題4】. B.動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 思考,認(rèn)為;B. 記得;C想象;D. 猜想。從情理可知對(duì)于小時(shí)候說(shuō)過(guò)的話作者只是記得,而不是認(rèn)為的,也不是想像或猜想。故答案選B。
【小題5】.A .形容詞辨析。A. 不友好的; B. 不必要的;C.不重要的;    D. 不尋常的。根據(jù)下文you say something unpleasant about somebody else判斷作者說(shuō)了令人不愉快的話,由此判斷要選的詞與unpleasant同義, unkind“使人不愉快的,苛刻的”,故答案選A。
【小題6】 B.代詞辨析。A. 另一個(gè);B.任何; C. 一些;D.其他的。由情理可知人們?nèi)魏螘r(shí)候說(shuō)別人不好的話,都是自己內(nèi)心或品質(zhì)的反映,故答案選B。
【小題7】C 介詞辨析。A在……之上;B. 在;C.在……內(nèi); D. 關(guān)于。從語(yǔ)境判斷父親教育作者要去發(fā)現(xiàn)或者尋找別人身上最好的東西,on強(qiáng)調(diào)物體的表面,而in則側(cè)重內(nèi)在,故答案選C
【小題8】. B.短語(yǔ)辨析。A.以防萬(wàn)一; B. 作為回報(bào);C.碰巧;D. 輪流,依次。根據(jù)上下文可知父親認(rèn)為如果去發(fā)現(xiàn)別人身上最好的東西,那么反過(guò)來(lái)別人的品質(zhì)也會(huì)影響到自己,答案選B。句意:如果你從別人身上尋找最好的東西,那么同樣你也會(huì)得到最好的東西。
【小題9】D .動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 修訂;B.設(shè)置;C. 復(fù)習(xí);D. 遵循。從語(yǔ)境判斷作者聽從了父親的建議,follow the principle“遵循這一原則”,故答案選D。
【小題10】 C.形容詞辨析。A.嚴(yán)重的;B. 有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的; C. 諒解的,通情達(dá)理的;  D. 要求。從下文父親最終允許“我”棄學(xué)辦雜志看,父親是通情達(dá)理、善解人意的,故答案選C,其他不符合語(yǔ)境。
【小題11】 D.動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。A.繼續(xù),維持;   B.編造,組成; C.撿起,接收(節(jié)目),接人等;    D.占據(jù)(時(shí)間或空間)。根據(jù)情理判斷辦雜志會(huì)占去作者很多的時(shí)間,故答案選D。
【小題12】C.名詞辨析。A.建議;B. 決定;C. 選擇;D. 通知。從下文“stay in school or leave to work on my magazine”可知校長(zhǎng)讓我作出一個(gè)選擇,答案選C。
【小題13】 C.連詞辨析。A.并且;B. 即使;C.因?yàn)椋?D仿佛。根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容判斷前后句是因果關(guān)系,故答案選C。句意:因?yàn)槿魏我晃桓赣H都會(huì)這樣。
【小題14】A 動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 說(shuō)服;B.允許;C.幫助;D.建議。從下文可知父親后悔遺憾他沒(méi)能去實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢(mèng)想,由此推斷父親的父親已經(jīng)成功地說(shuō)服了父親從事法律行業(yè),故答案選A。
【小題15】D .副詞辨析。A. 幾乎;B.從不;C.很少;D. 總是。因?yàn)楦赣H的夢(mèng)想是成為一個(gè)“biologist,”卻被說(shuō)服當(dāng)了一個(gè)“l(fā)awyer”,所以父親在這里表達(dá)的意思是他總是因此而后悔遺憾,故答案選D。
【小題16】 A詞語(yǔ)辨析。.A但是;B.而不是;C. 因?yàn)椋籇. 因此。上句提到自己曾經(jīng)想當(dāng)biologist,而根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知父親沒(méi)有實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢(mèng)想,所以前后句之間應(yīng)為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故選A。
【小題17】. C.名詞辨析。A. 承諾; B. 任務(wù); C. 夢(mèng)想;D. 信念。父親本來(lái)想當(dāng)一個(gè)生物學(xué)家,但是結(jié)果在家長(zhǎng)的勸說(shuō)下成了一名律師,由此可知他沒(méi)有去追隨自己的夢(mèng)想,故答案選C。
【小題18】 B.代詞辨析。A.這個(gè);B.這,那,它;C.他;D. 那個(gè)。固定結(jié)構(gòu):as it turned out “結(jié)果是,正如結(jié)果那樣”,it 代替后面的那句話,答案選B。
【小題19】. A.名詞辨析。A.雜志;B報(bào)紙;C.程序;D項(xiàng)目,計(jì)劃t。根據(jù)前文已提到的At 15, I started a magazine. 判斷答案選A。
【小題20】C. 動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 控制;B. 撫養(yǎng),飼養(yǎng);C. 提醒;D.安慰。從語(yǔ)境判斷作者對(duì)于父親的教育方式非常感激并欣賞,所以他也想用父親培養(yǎng)他的方式去培養(yǎng)自己的孩子們。而且根據(jù)the same way判斷空格處要選的詞應(yīng)該與bring up 同義,故選B。

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 whom 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 stammer. 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   ."

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this       .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and       . All the students were working        a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no        of stopping. I walked down the row and found        was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my       , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on        I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to       .
After another ten minutes, the students were        to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox.Then Donna      hers. She put the lid(蓋子) on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel(鐵鏟) from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to       . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the        of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt.At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and        your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼詞). “Friends, we gathered here today to        the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is        by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’.May ‘I Can’t’ rest in       . Amen!”
She turned the students        and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the        of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student        and said, “I Can’t,” Donna       pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

“A” for Attitude
English was always my favorite subject. In my freshman year of high school, I could write a killer composition. In my second year, my teacher        me to give spelling tests to the class. I had a      time of my junior year. Mrs Alexander        me to sit at her desk and take over the class when she had to leave the room. Only my senior English class was       , as we had a teacher right out of college who expected       work. Every student received a "C" or "D" grade the first quarter. But English was still my favorite subject.
I graduated from high school,      early and had children.       about my English, I often helped my kids with their English homework. And I wrote long articles and beautiful poetry as a columnist for a newspaper. Fifteen years later, I went to college, and because I had been an "A" student, I remained an "A" student. I       up to my own expectations.
Yesterday, I        my high school report cards when I was reading old papers. That bundle of report cards        back the old days.

I was not an "A" student in high school English! Somehow, I had         myself of this, when the grades clearly reflected an average student with an       "A" or "B" but mostly "C” S.
Had I lived up to those grades and       myself according to those letters, I would have never confidently sought my writing career. Had I       my early grades instead of myself, I would have allowed my fear of failure to       enthusiasm and damage my creativity. Instead, I       my younger self as an "A" English student, except for that undeserved "D".

Joshua, my son, is fifteen years old. He was born with Down Syndrome (唐氏綜合癥). In the last fifteen years. I have experienced many difficult and      stories. However, right now I want to just stick to the topic of     . When Joshua was born, they      us not to “waste our time, energy or money". They claimed that our son would never accomplish anything. They told us he would never walk, talk or learn to use the toilet.     , we were not about to accept the words. However, we weren’t really sure what to expect.
Therefore, we expected him to develop at his own pace, with a lot of help and encouragement, but only to develop little. We decided that      we saw progress we could never give up. Very early on, we knew in our hearts that we had to have high expectations, but how high? We could not set goals for him that he could not ever possibly reach.     , if we did not have high hopes, the chances would be very slim for him to work to his potential.
When Joshua was four and a half years old, his younger sister, CJ, was three and attended the same preschool in a younger class. The school      an art contest and all the children in it presented pictures. The pictures were hung on the wall and the president of the local church, who was not personally      with the children, was appointed to be the     .
On the day of the contest, I made my      through the crowded parents to see CJ’s picture,      it was likely to be hung there, but Joshua's class pictures were not yet up and I didn’t think twice about seeing his picture      leaving the building. You see, I had no expectation that Joshua would win; it was      for me to know that he was able to draw a picture and have it      with those of the other children.
Well, when I returned to      the kids, you can image my      when I discovered that Joshua was the winner from his class! Proud and excited, he told everyone, “I won the contest! I      it! ”
CJ kept insisting that she had won too and it was certainly a      feeling to know that Joshua had achieved something that his  sister had not. After that I decided to keep my expectations     . It seems that most people work to whatever expectations are set for them. Why should Joshua be any     ?
