Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2009年湖北五市联考，A)
I shall never forget the night，a few years ago，when Marion J．Douglas was a student in one of my adulteducation classes.He told us how tragedy had struck at his home，not once，but twice.The first time he had lost his fiveyearold daughter.He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss；but，as he said，“Ten months later，God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”
This double bereavement was almost too much to bear.“I couldn’t take it，” this father told us，“I couldn’t sleep，eat，rest or relax.My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.”At last he went to doctors；one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip，but neither helped.He said，“My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大钳子)，and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension of grief (悲伤)—if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow，you know what he meant.
“But thank God，I had one child left—a fouryearold son.He gave me the solution to my problem.One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself，he asked，‘Daddy，will you build a boat for me？’ I was in no mood to build a boat；in fact，I was in no mood to do anything.But my son is a persistent little fellow！I had to give in.Building that toy boat took me about three hours.By the time it was finished，I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months！I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking.In my case，building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring.So I determined to keep busy.”
“The following night，I made a list of jobs that ought to be done.Scores of items needed to be repaired.Amazingly，I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention.During the last two years I have completed most of them.I am busy so that I have no time for worry.”
No time for worry！That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war.When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities，he said，“I am too busy.I have no time for worry.”
1．The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to________.
A．having lost a loved one
B．having lost a valuable article
C．having lost a profitmaking business
D．having lost a wellpaid job
2．Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because________.
A．he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family
B．he was suffering from sleeplessness disease
C．he couldn’t get out of mental pressure
D．he felt tired of adulteducation classes
3．Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because________.
A．he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend them
B．he wanted to kill his free time by repairing them
C．the items had actually been broken and needed attention
D．repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind
4．At the end of the passage，the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to________.
A．prove that he followed Churchill’s example
B．support his student’s solution to his problem
C．show that he was successful in his career
D．clarify how his conclusion was reached
答案：Ⅰ.单项填空
1．B 这是对help用法的考查。“can’t help (to) do”的意思是“不能帮助”；“can’t help doing”的意思是“情不自禁做某事”。
2．C “从某一点看到的风景”用view表示。
3．C stay away from远离，不接近(接触)，符合题意“他要求学生远离电子游戏，以防他们沉溺其中”。
4．C in all总共，符合题意。after all毕竟；above all首先，最重要的是；at all根本。
5．C forget it在这里表示“没关系，不必在意”。
6．A I owe you an apology.我该向你道歉。后面的I am so sorry to have put you through so much trouble(很抱歉给你带来这么多麻烦)是提示信息。
7．C 本题考查系动词用法的区别。句意为：正如交通规则所述，驾驶员要停车等待直到交通信号变绿。四个系动词都可接形容词表变化，但turn后常接表颜色的形容词。
8．D 句意为“那件事太严重，我别无选择，只好把警察叫来”。“have no choice but＋不定式”意为“别无选择，只好做……”。
9．C take off在句中作“成功；成名；(事业)起飞”解，符合语境。
10．D 句意为：警察说提供线索帮助找到失踪男孩的人可以得到5万美元的奖赏。reward报酬，奖金；price价格；prize表示各种竞赛中获胜者所得到的奖励；pay工资，常作不可数名词。
11．C on the air(通过广播、电视等)播出；in the air在空中；by air坐飞机。
12．A 句意为：“虽然(Although)”她是我最喜欢的女演员之一，但我并不认为她在这部电影中的表演很出色。
13．C live此处用做副词，意思是“现场地”，即不用录音或转播的形式。
14．B 句意为：她认为她的成功是由于勤奋加上一点儿运气而得来的。owe...to...把……归功于。
15．C make comments on...对……作出评价。
Ⅱ.完形填空
1．B 第二段中“Mommy，you used to give money to those people...”一句暗示“我”以前总是帮助穷人。
2．C feeling sorry for their hardship为现在分词短语作状语，表示原因。“由于我同情那些无家可归的人，我总是帮助他们”。
3．A 由下文可知，随着时间的推移，“我”的处境也和他们一样窘迫，因此前后句之间为转折关系，空白处应填But。
4．A run into沦落到，进入；run down撞倒，撞沉，走下坡路，垮掉；run over撞倒，撞翻并轧过；run to驱车(送某人)去，跑向。后面的宾语是the same situations，因此应填run into。
5．B 作者变成了一位single mother单身母亲，与下文她没有住房、负债累累，几乎没有收入的境况相呼应。
6．D hardly几乎没有，几乎不，表示否定，符合语境。
7．D mean吝啬的，自私的，下句说“我”不再给那些在路边等待的穷人以帮助，说明“我”变成一个吝啬的人了。
8．D 下句的“a home with a backyard for my daughter，and plenty of...”说明我的处境有所好转，事情有了变化(change)。
9．C have有，拥有。“我”拥有一个带后院的房子。
10．C 既然“我”有了家，也应该是有了充足的食物(food)。
11．B 上段谈到a huge debt，而现在“我”还清了债务(debt)。
12．A in need在危难中，贫穷。前文的“the homeless people”暗示此处选A。people in need需要帮助的人，穷人。
13．D respond回答，响应，与reply同义。女儿没有回答，说明她不同意妈妈的说法。
14．B on the corner在角落，在转角处。下文的“he ran over with enthusiasm”(他赶紧跑过来)说明他当时不在马路上(street)或路边(side)。上文“One day we saw a homeless person in the street”部分暗示应排除road。
15．C inside内心的，内部的，里面的。此处指“我”内心涌出一种帮助他人的欲望。
16．A 前文的“I was driving to pick up my daughter from school”可判断作者此时是在车上，因此她此时是摇下车窗(window)。
17．C 在我给他钱的时候，我感觉非常奇怪。介词and表示并列，因此该词应与strange近义。
18．D 从下文得知，他三年没有回家看妈妈了，因此现在有了路费可以回家了，他非常高兴(joy)，激动得热泪盈眶。
19．B 宾语是my mother，应填visit，表示“看望，探望”。
20．A giving给予，本文讲述的是“我”帮助别人的故事。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。故事的主人公的家庭接连遭受不幸的打击，两个孩子相继死去，他也走不出悲伤的圈子。一件偶然的事情让他明白，忙碌是疗伤的最好药物，让自己忙碌，就没有时间去悲伤和绝望了。对即将走进高考考场的我们来说，生活又何尝不是如此呢？忙碌使我们没有时间去患得患失，忙碌者是幸福的。
1．A 考查猜测词义。从语境看，画线词指代前面提到的道格拉斯失去5岁的女儿和10个月后刚出世5天的另外一个女儿夭折的痛苦，因此选A，“丧失亲人，丧亲之痛”。
2．C 考查推理判断。第二段说，他难以从这接连的打击中恢复过来，感觉自己的身体被一个大钳子包围着，这钳子夹得越来越紧。从语境判断，其含义是C，他无法摆脱精神压力。
3．D 考查推理判断。第三段说，他给儿子造船的那忙碌的三个小时使他感到心情轻松，于是他列举出需要修理的242件物品。显然这样做的目的是D，希望自己在忙着修理这些东西时能赶走心里的烦恼。
4．B 考查细节理解。作者在阐述“忙碌能使我们忘记烦恼与担忧”时，最后一段以英国首相丘吉尔为例进行说明，二战期间他一天要工作18个小时，“我太忙碌了，没时间担忧”，显然作者引用这个名人的事例是为了证明他的学生——本文故事的主人公的观点：忙碌能使我们忘记烦恼。
