【武汉市2013届高中毕业生二月调研测试】
The Johnson family from England believe they are lucky to be alive after surviving an incredible incident off the coast of Australia. The Johnsons had been 31_____ that they might see some whales when they were 32_____ a yacht — a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing 33_____ around the Whitsunday Islands. 34_____, they had no clue just how 35_____ their viewing would be. Two hours into their journey a nine-meter-long humpback whale 36_____ out of the ocean and crashed into their boat before returning to the water.
Mark Johnson，the eldest son，was sailing the yacht when he heard an immense bang and a thud(重击声).He 37_____ thought the yacht had hit a rock. However, when he looked up, he saw the whale 38_____ down the deck of the boat. He told the reporters, “ We were staring into its right eye. It was a very 39_____ moment. The eye was about the 40_____ of a dinner plate. It was huge.“
41_____ for the Johnson family, no one was hurt, but the yacht suffered 42 damage. The whale had ruined the mast and rigging — the pole and ropes which hold the 43_____ ——and so the family was left 44_____ at sea, 10 miles from the shore. The 45_____ equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help.
Why the whale jumped onto the yacht is a 46_____ ，but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not 47_____ sailed between the whale and its baby calf. Perhaps the whale was trying to 48_____ its calf when it jumped, hit the yacht by chance.
Whatever the reason, people are completely 49_____ that this incident happened. There is over 135 million square miles of ocean ’ so what are the 50_____ of a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht? The chance of something like this happening is miniscule, but it just shows that life is full of surprises.

【文章大意】本文讲述了约翰逊一家到澳大利亚海上观看座头鲸并经历冒险的故事，庆幸的是他们劫后余生。途中一头座头鲸不小心跳到了他们租借的大型帆船上，砸断了桅杆，弄断了控制方向的绳索，致使他们不能前进，所幸他们没有人员伤亡。最后他们用手机求援，平安归来。
31.C 约翰逊一家事先被告知如果他们租船出海，则有可能在海上看到鲸鱼。由下文they had no clue just how...可知别人并未给他们提示（clue）,这与told呼应。explain解释，语法上用在这里要加to。learn学习，了解。用这里语态不对。teach教导，教，这里意思不合。
32.A 由后文的a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing...及two hours into their journey ...可知他们是旅行；另外第二段首句Mark Johnson，the eldest son，was sailing the yacht告诉读者驾船的是他们的长子，可知这是租船之后的自驾游，否则开船的就该是船舶公司的人了。
33.D 下文的journey与这里的trip呼应，其它选项不当。
34.D 前文说到了美好的一面——出海可能见到座头鲸，但没提示潜在的危险，意思出现了对比，所以however适合这一空。
35.B 有上文可知他们租船开始十天的旅程10-day sailing，但出发两小时后Two hours into their journey 他们就碰到了鲸鱼，体现了how close。wide宽的。close近的; vivid栩栩如生的； tense紧张的。
36.B leap out of意思为jump out of。这与空后的crash into以及第50空后面的a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht呼吁，所以B正确。swim游泳，游动；slip滑动，滑倒； stretch伸展，张开。
37.C 前面说到他们家族的长子听到一声巨响和撞击声，他怀疑船触礁了，根据常识应该是立刻去查看受损情况。Immediately立即，立刻。Suddenly突然 occasionally偶尔，间或； accidentally偶然
38.D 既然前面说到已经听到撞击声和一声闷响，鲸鱼落在甲板上是既成的事实，不再可能是看到在falling或jumping过程中。鲸鱼在甲板上滑动slid合理，所以D对。
39.C 这是个让人想起来都毛骨悚然的时刻，试想，如果庞大的鲸鱼落地时刚好撞到人了，那会是多大的危险啊。frightening令人恐惧的；surprising令人吃惊或惊喜的，此词不含恐惧的意思；而astonishing意思是very surprising.
40. A 这头巨鲸眼睛有进餐的盘子那么大，这符合事实，所以A正确。
41. B 此处用Luckily与后文no one was hurt.相呼应，过渡自然。Certainly当然，必定。 Definitely明确地，肯定地。
42. A 整条船（由于鲸鱼的撞击而)受到严重的破坏。severe严重的，严厉的，剧烈的。Severe damage严重的破坏。 Extreme极端的，偏激的。 actual 实际的；special特别的，专门的。
43. C 句意：鲸鱼已经破坏了桅杆和控制杆，以及拉住船帆的绳索。Sail 船帆，hold the sail拉住船帆。所以C正确。
44. D 句意：（由于船的动力系统和桅杆损坏），因此约翰逊一家在海上进退不能。By all means尽一切办法; in no time立即；from then on从那时起； with no way没办法。
45. A 船的无线电设备也遭到了破坏，但幸运的是他们带有一部手机，并能借此求助。radio equipment(船上的)无线电设备。radio无线电； craft手艺，太空船； edition版本； compass指南针。因为此刻他们不是找不到方向，而是没办法进退，借助无线电发sos求助才是要做的事，后面的 but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help可知A正确。
46. B 句意：为何鲸鱼能正好跳到他们船的甲板上，这任然是一个迷。but the family thinks that maybe...中maybe提示了问题的不确定性，只是猜测，所以B正确。Problem问题；mystery（未解之）谜；suspect怀疑，嫌疑犯；question疑问，问题。
47. C 句意:他们猜测可能是船不经意间驶到这头鲸鱼和她的幼鲸之间，因此她想跳过船去抵近她的幼崽。not deliberately不经意间，无意间。所以C正确。其它各项不符合情景。
48. D 母鲸鱼想抵近幼崽（以便于提供保护）。reach到达，抵达。touch触摸;see看到；tend倾向于。所以A正确。
49 .A 不管原因是什么，人们都惊奇于这样（这样小概率的）事件（居然)发生了。试想一下，广袤的海洋.鲸鱼能跳到船上！amazed惊奇的，吃惊的； worried担心的； interested感兴趣的； touched感动的。所以A正确。
50. B 此处chances相当于possibilities,机会，可能性。鲸鱼落到夹板上这种概率很小。所以B正确。marvel奇迹（指成就）；prediction预言；result结果。

I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying something. The sorrow of 36 my husband of 37 years was still too painful. And this grocery store held so many sweet 37 .

【文章大意】作者丈夫去世了，处在极度的悲痛中。她到一家食品杂货店购物，那里有太多关于她和丈夫的美好回忆。其间她见到一位穿绿衣服的女士为丈夫购牛排时的犹豫，告诫她不要犹豫了，要珍惜与丈夫在一起的时光。后来，这位女士送了作者黄玫瑰，让她很感动。她觉得这位女士就是丈夫化身的天使，她并不孤独。
36 A 由后方的My husband passed away eight days ago可知作者的丈夫去世了，与losing my husband吻合。所以选A。
37 C 下文的Bob often came with me and almost every time ....and look for something special以及前面讲到的丈夫去世，可知她们常来这家食品杂货店购物，这里有太多甜美的回忆。所以选C.
38 D 每次我们两个一起购物时，他都找借口离开，（以便为我）去找些特别地东西（----黄色的玫瑰花)，有后面的I'd always see him walking down the walkway... three yellow roses in his hands可知答案为D.
39 B 鲍勃沿着人行道走回时，手里老是拿着几只黄玫瑰。With three yellow roses in his hands是with复合结构。由Bob knew I loved yellow roses也可知道这一点。
40 B 想到这些的时候，心里充满了悲痛，be filled with...被...充满。此处作宾语补足语，与heart是被动关系，所以B正确。
D 感动于心里的是鲍勃对我的好，我也不由自主地在货架上寻找当初他喜欢的牛排，只有用perfect才能体现我对他给予的爱love的思念及此时我内心的痛pain。
A 句意：当她拿起又犹豫，让后放下，这个过程我一直都注视着她。Watch注视，看；而see看到，强调看到的结果。所以A正确。
C 由后面的hesitated, and then put them back可知C正确。.
D 她看到我在注视她，就跟我解释说，她丈夫喜欢吃T字排骨，但这价格，她不知道该不该买，她在犹豫。Honestly坦诚将，相当于honestly speaking或to be honest,所以D对。
A 由前方的My husband passed away eight days ago可知她在劝说那位女士不要犹豫，要珍惜与丈夫在一起的每一个时刻。所以A正确。
B 听完我的话，他笑了。眼中带着柔情，将牛排放进篮子里。B比较合理。
D 由后文的I turned and pushed my cart forward too可知她是将自己的手推购物车推走了。Wheel away推走。
B 此处的green suit与前文的green suit都代指那位女士，自然是我认出recognise她了。
C 句意，她朝我走来，脸上挂着（最）灿烂的笑容。Bright明媚的，灿烂的。这个用语也与她的爱心相映成趣。
B 由后文的these are for you和place the roses in my arms以及place a gentle kiss on my cheek可知我被感到了，眼泪往下滑落，D是正确答案。
C 由后方的but still unable to speak...可知还没等我问她为什么送我这三只黄玫瑰，她就转身离开了。Mean意思是。此处理解为为什么。
A 眼泪模糊了我的视线，由空前的tears clouded in ...及常识可知这里应该填vision或sight。
C 面对他送来的鲜花，我觉得太美丽了，几乎不敢相信这是真的。Almost unreal几乎不是真实的。所以C正确。
D 由前面的还没等我问她为什么送我这三只黄玫瑰，她就转身离开了，知道此处填puzzle以及上文的how did she know?可知答案。
B 冥冥之中她感到鲍勃仍然跟她生活在一起，陪伴着她，没让她失望。由she was his angel可知答案。

【江西重点中学协作体2013届高三第一次联考】
That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in 36 for seventeen years, I had no 37 about my ability to hold their attention and to 38 on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, " 39 !" The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 40 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly 41 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect—perhaps 42 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.
My students 43 diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 44 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. 45 her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 46 theme. "Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 47 for all the works we’ll study in class," I complained." How _48 they say I didn’t teach them anything?"
It was a long term, and it 49 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as_50 of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 51 questions and provide enough background so that students could 52 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide _53_ information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
_54 , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a 55 American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.
36. A. the UK B. the US C. China D. Australia
37. A. worry B. idea C. doubt D. experience
38. A. impress B. put C. leave D. fix

【文章大意】作者是一位从教十七年的美国老师，教授美国文学，经验丰富。因此，当他面对七十五名中国学生时，他是自信的：美国文学，启迪式教育方式，应该可以很吸引学生的。但实践证明他错了，他没有注意到不同文化里教育方式的差异。
B 文章最后的American teacher,提示此处B是正确选项。
C 前方的Having taught for seventeen years表明作者从教时间长，因此有相当丰富的经验，他对此是深信不疑的，have no doubt about my ability正确。
A 给某人留下印象的结构是Impress on sb sth.此处指他确信能给学生留下深刻的映象！所以A正确。
D 中国学生班长喊起立，与后面的The entire class rose as I entered the room呼应，所以D对。
A 看到他们这样严肃认真的样子，我一时有点不知道如何反应，如何让他们落座。Puzzled困惑的，be puzzled about...对...困惑。符合情景，所以A对。
C 全文的but once that awkwardness was over提醒读者他开始见到那情景有点局促不安，到很快又重新获得平静calmness。Regain正确。
B admiration是在respect基础上的递进，所以用even符合这一空，B正确。
D 学生们写日记，我从中看出他们对我的看法。Keep diaries记日记，所以D正确。
A 读到学生的日记，原来萦绕在我心头的自我好感很快褪色了，取而代之的是悲伤。Be replaced by...被...取代，所以A正确。
B 学生对我的下一次课的一种期望，但也不肯定。Perhaps也许，是最佳答案。
C 每个同学都在日记中表达一个相似的想法，那就是他们没学到东西，或者一无所获。所以C正确。
D 前方讲I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought描述了整个西方哲学思想的框架，后面跟着讲其历史背景，也就是说第一次课我从宏观角度讲述了我们往后要学习的内容。其它几个选项偏重于微观方面，所以D正确。
A 考查情态动词用法，should在此处作“竟然”讲，与前面学生和我的相反反映是吻合的，所以A对。
D 问题的清晰是要时间的，后面的become clear表明了一个过程，gradually逐渐地，所以D正确。
C 前方出现的my ideas在后方用those去代替。所以C正确。
B 在我看来，教师的工作就是提出有趣的问题并提供必要的背景知识，然后学生通过思考得出自己的结论。要启迪学生思考，问题应该要有吸引力，所以B正确。
A draw a conclusion得出结论，为固定搭配。
C 而我的中国学生的观念是，老师应该直接将确切地知识信息教给他们，不是去自己摸索。后文的as directly and clearly as possible是提示。
B 虽然这中间我很纠结，但我也懂得了一些东西。这里有转折对比的意思。所以B正确。
D 我与我的中国学生的经历使我成为了一个更好的老师，一个知道在不同文化背景下如何教书的老师。D是正确答案。

First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸).First-time failure, 35 ____ . is expected; it is the natural order of things
Failure is how we learn.

They knew how much credibility (信誉)their 40 ____ gave them.
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am 41 ____ that one column is going to be the worst column of the week. I don’t set out to write it; I try my best every day. 42 ____, every week, one column is inferior (较差的)to the others, sometimes extremely so.
I have learned to 43 ____.that column ,A successful column usually mean that I am treading (踩踏)on 44 ____ground, going with the tricks that work, or dressing up popular ideas in fancy words. Often in my inferior columns，I am trying to 45 ____ something I’ve never done before, something I’m not even sure can be done.
My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to 46 ____ her. But I will also, I hope, 47 ____ her of what she learned, and how she can do whatever it is 48 ____ next time. I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a(n) 49 ____ you can learn when you’re five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the 50 ____ .

【文章大意】作者以自己的进行专栏创作的经历，悟出一个道理：失败是一件好事，失败是学习的过程，是事物的自然法则。所以他在言语上祝自己的小孙女成功的同时，其实他的内心是希望她经历挫折的，从发展的角度看，一帆风顺不一定是好事。接着作者以自己写作历程来阐述这一道理。
B 句意：按常理，我预祝她成功。conventional传统的。As is conventional,按传统或惯例，as引导的非限定定语从句。usual平常的，惯例的.as usual像往常一样。Expected期望的；contradictory矛盾的，反驳的。所以B正确。
A. 实际上我撒了慌，我真正对她的希望是失败，因为我相信失败的力量。I was lying对后方进行了进行了提示，他事实不是真心希望她成功。后方的I believe in the power of failure再次印证了答案failure，同时也揭示了文章的主旨。
C 成功是令人厌烦的。第一自然段揭示了作者的态度，对小孩子就应该多些挫折。如果他们开始就成功，这是作者不愿看到的，甚至是非常讨厌看到的结果。所以C正确。convincing 令人信服的；demanding要求高的；worthwhile值得的。D项很有迷惑性，但与作者不希望看到小孩子太顺利是不一致的。
B （而）这通常是一次有问题的成功。often通常；seldom几乎不； always总是； never从不。这与后面的First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸)吻合，尤其是这句中的usually。
D by contrast相比之下，相反；句意：相反地，第一次的失败恰恰是值得期待的。这是事物的自然法则。失败是学习的过程。on purpose故意地；at length详细地，最终；in turn依次，反过来。所以D对。
C describe...as把...描述为，形容为，认为。句意：我听说过一个在非洲用来形容大厨的词语，好厨师就是 “那个炒坏了很多锅的”。describe与后方的as呼应。define定义，规定。 classify 分类；view看待。
B 如果你花了足够时间在厨房，炒坏了无数锅，那你也就掌握了大量烹饪方面的知识。厨师的工作当然是在厨房里，kitchen符合实际，所以对。
B 前面的a good cook as “she who has broken many pots” If...为这里提供了参考。只有多实践，体味失败，才能成就一个好厨师，从而了解更多关于cooking的知识。
D 句意：有次我和厨师们共进晚餐，他们一直在比较刀伤和烫伤疤痕的多少，因为他们知道曾经的失败为他们带来了无上的信誉。wounds and bum scars的数量与how much credibility是一致的。他们比挫折的多少即知信誉度的高低。
B 见上句。Failure失败，挫折。
A 根据后面every week, one column is inferior (较差的)to the others, sometimes extremely so但每周都还是会有一个专栏比其他的差，有时候差距还挺大。这样的经历使我知道即将有一个专栏会成为本周最差的。
C still (但）仍然。前面的try my best 与后方的every week, one column is inferior有转折对比意思。所以C为正确答案。
C 我现在学会了去珍惜那个较差的专栏。Cherish珍惜。与作者看重失败的意义符合，所以为正确答案。
D treading on familiar ground循规蹈矩。后面的dressing up popular ideas in fancy words用漂亮的辞藻包装流行的大众观点，而非自己的观点。这就是”循规蹈矩”的意思。
B I am trying to get through something I've never done before我时常会去尝试一些之前没做过的事情。get through做完（一定量的任务）。
B 追求完美的五岁的小孩失败了，我当然会去安慰，也帮她分析提醒，所以B对。
A 根据后面的and how she can do whatever it is better next time.可知是提醒她下次注意什么。
C 从失败中学习，争取下次做得好些，所以better符合题意。
D 由前面的“我可能不会直接跟她说失败是件好事”可知，对一个孩子来讲那不是容易吸取的教训，符合孩子的认知特点。
A 此处用beginning与前方的 not the end of the world呼应。

【文章大意】这篇材料讲的是亲生父母与养父母对孩子的优先权利问题。第一段只是一个引篇，主要向人们传达一个信息，即很多由养父母监护下的孩子比亲生父母照料下的孩子更加健康也更加快乐。而后举了一个例子加以说明。第二段开始进入主题。
36.C healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them——deal做及物动词时是“给予”的意思。由后文的It's also true of 可知答案为C.
37.D 这与前方的...healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them...呼应，因为法律盲目地保护亲生父母。这是因果关系，所以D正确。
38.C 根据根据前方的also后方的because of parents who can't or won't care for them可知寄养在别人家里的孩子也是没有收养的孩子幸福的,所以suffer符合情景，是正确答案。
39.B 亲生父母不能照料孩子，但是又不想放弃对孩子的监护权。由此空前的but和后文的an angry custody battle between the man who raised her and her biological parents, with whom she has never lived...可知文章是讲了生父母与养父母争夺孩子监护权的斗争。所以B正确。
40.C 第二段和第三段举例说明两个监护权的法律纠纷。第二段中 Kimberly Mays不符合第一段提到的两种情况，既不属于寄养又不属于领养，而是错养，可参照后文的Kimberly Mays and another baby were mistakenly switched and sent home...，fit符合，所以C正确。
41.B 但是Kimberly Mays近期的法庭胜利最终会对其他有类似情况的孩子起到帮助作用，让他们能更好的维护自己的幸福，因为这个判决颠覆了生理联系对家庭关系的首要决定作用。所以B更接近文章主旨。
42.B the object of...是...的对象，此处指愤怒的监护权之争所争夺的对象。B为正确答案。
43.A 法官与裁定搭配，后面是裁定的内容。rule裁定，管理。实际上这个裁定是有利于孩子的，这与前方的 her recent court victory could ... help children who do一致。所以A正确。
44.D no legal claim on her，即“没有合法要求”，换句话说，就是对她的监护权要求是非法的，也就是不应要求监护权，当事人可以继续和养父生活在一起。Claim要求，声称，认领。符合情景，与后文Biological parentage does not mean an absolute ownership吻合，是正确答案。 45.A 根据常识，应该是刚出生时婴儿外表特征相似，在医院这样的公共场所错误的保养了，所以A正确。
46.D 此处wrong与前面的mistakenly呼应，所以是正确选项。
47. D 后来May的生父母的孩子死于心脏病，但医学检查表明那个孩子不是他们亲生的，而Kimberly May才是的，因此一场争夺监护权的纠纷就此上演。Show表明。所以D对。
48.A 根据前面42空后面的an angry custody battle可知A正确。
49.C 1989年双方父母达成一致意见，由养父母行使监护权，而生父母则拥有探视权。这符合文章的主旨。Agree同意，赞成。
50.C visiting参观，探视。生父母不能获得监视权退而求其次，获得探视权。所以C对。
51.A 由Those rights were ended可知一定是发生了某些不愉快的事，或者一定有被对方终结权利的理由出现，探视可能会打扰他们的生活，给Kimberly May造成一定得心理伤害，所以harm为正确选项。
52.B 前方的the teenager can remain with the only father she's ever known裁决与此处呼应，leave留下，leave sb with ...让...和...一起，此处decision指法官的裁决。所以B项正确。
53.C 由这个女孩可以为自己的利益自行提出起诉（Kimberly did have standing to sue on her own behalf）。On one’s behalf为...自己的利益或名义。所以C正确。
54.A 由后文does not mean 可知more than符合句意。所以A选项正确。
55.C 小孩子也有为自己幸福进行申辩的权利。血缘关系并不意味着亲生父母可以剥夺孩子全部的权利。文章的最后点题。所以C正确。

B 他的身份是水果商贩，到处卖水果的，后面的slowly也告诉我们他是pass the street slowly才好到处兜售水果，所以B对。
A由前面的when he looked at her，she ran away可知，我的女儿跑开是由于害怕眼前的这个陌生人。Scared害怕的。
D 他们became friends成了朋友，自然也就经常一起 hang out一起闲逛，还有说有笑，所以D正确。
B 女儿的这位特殊朋友会用他为数不多的钱给她买些糖果和板栗。从词的搭配上只有spend 和waste符合，但只有spend ....on符合文意。
C 全面的Mini did not understand this 提示后面用puzzled合适。
36. A 由后文的Rahmum had struck him.，他被判入狱，以及后来的从监狱获释可知他是“被警察带走”，所以A正确。
37.D owe sb money欠某人钱，后文可看出一位顾客想讹他一件披肩，欠钱而不给，他一气之下行刺了他，所以D正确。
38 B 空前的falsely虚伪地，假地。可知那位顾客虚假地谎称他给了钱，假装他出了钱。
39 C 由前面的On a charge of murderous attack提示可知是被判入狱。
40 D 前面的 Mini grew up 和后面的for her wedding提醒读者作者的女儿长大了，自然是为她安排出嫁事宜了，make arrangements for为...张罗/做安排。后文the wedding feast也是提示。
41 A 从后文他的悠闲和从容可知，女儿出嫁前，Rahmum从监狱获释了，而不是逃跑。
B 从女儿五岁到女儿出嫁，这中间的时间有十多年，人的变化自然很大，“我”都几乎认不出来他了。Seldom几乎不
C 句意：他要求见见我的女儿，因为在监狱的那些年里，我的女儿让他想起了他自己的女儿，所以C正确。
D 他相信我的女儿还是原来的样子，后面的 ...running to him calling “Cabuliwallah!”.提示，在监狱的岁月里，他内心想象着女儿跑向他，喊他的样子 。Picture想象，勾画。
B 由后方的in paper可知是用纸包起来的nuts and grapes，他带来女儿吃的。Wrap up包好。
A 多年之后，这两位先前的“朋友”再度重逢，但已经不能恢复当时的友谊。Reunite重逢。
由前面的once more及father-in-law可知，他再次跟Mini 开玩笑，这是长大的Mini已经不再puzzled了，知道father-in-law的意思，羞红了脸。
D 作者给了他一些钱bank note,让他回去找自己的女儿，并祝愿他见到自己女儿的快乐能给作者的孩子带来幸福。may 祝愿，如may you succeed祝你成功！
A 送给了他钱之后，作者就不得不压缩开支，取消了彩灯和军乐队表演。give up取消。
C had meant for原本为...准备的，供...使用的。后文的the ladies in the house were disappointed是提示。

When the 36 started, he went to one end of the tightrope, 37 straight at the goal ahead, with open arms, walking slowly step by step to the opposite side of the mountain. Immediately, the audience 38 loud applause.
“If my hands are tied, do you also believe ! can 39 ？” he asked the audience.
40 , some people didn’t believe, but in order to know the 41 , they said, “We believe you !”
Then, he had his hands tied with a rope and walked past 42 .
He looked around and said, “If I’m blindfolded（蒙着眼睛的）with my hands tied, do you ___43 believe I can go past?”
This time, the people said without 44 , “We believe you!”
In this way, his eyes were 45 with a black cloth. He moved slowly to the tightrope and
walked along it inch by inch. This time, he went past once again. The audience burst into 46 .
Then, he 47 a child and asked all the people, “If I put him on any shoulders 48__ I’m blindfolded with my hands tied as well, do you still believe I can make it?”
All the people replied before 49 , “We believe you!”
“I ask you again, do you really believe me?”
“Yes, we believe you completely !”
Then, he said, “Well then, since you believe me, 50 my child with yours. Who will?”
All of a sudden, the audience fell 51 . The silence lasted for nearly ten minutes.
After ten minutes, the acrobatic master said nothing, just put the child on his shoulders and walked past along the tightrope. Sure enough, this time he 52 once more.
Faced with things far from their own 53 , people can often make judgments easily and quickly, but once involved in（牵涉）it, most of people “cannot 54 it clearly”. Only those who are really confident, like the master in the tightrope walk, can stay 55 at any time.

【文章大意】本文讲述了一位走钢丝表演的艺术大师，他以不同的方式成功走过架于两座山之间的钢绳。难度每次加大，人群激情沸腾。当他问在场的观众，他能否以一种比上次更难更危险的方法通过时，人群都好不怀疑。最后一次他问观众，他能否把他们的孩子抗在肩膀上通过，人群寂静了，犹豫了。故事告诉我们这样一个道理：当我们不用涉及自己的切身利益时，做决定是简单的，反之则不然，人们都不愿拿自己的孩子去冒险。
D 由文章第一句话的perform可知这是现场表演，所以D对。
B 他目光直视对方的目标，stare at凝视。形容精力高度集中。所以B对。
A 当他第一次成功通过时，人群爆发出热烈的掌声。Break into破门而入，突然爆发；give off发出光，热等。所以A正确。
C 句意，如果我的双手被绑住，你们相信我也能通过吗？Get across通过（到达对面）；get through（从立体空间）通过，所以C正确。
B 根据后面的some people didn’t believe, but in order to know知道，事实上，人们是不信的，但为了检验结果，他们说了谎话，说他能过。Actually与后文but呼应，所以B正确。
A 能与不能是一种未来的结果，所以A正确。
C walk smoothly顺利地走过。所以C正确。
D 有了第二次，他问人们他是否仍然能在加难度的基础上，再次通过。此处用still是相对于上一次而言的“仍然”。所以D正确。
B 人们毫不犹豫地回答without hesitation意思是“毫不犹豫”，符合场景，所以B正确。
C 根据上文的If I’m blindfolded（蒙着眼睛的）with my hands tied, do you...可知这里选C。
A 他这次是以更高难度通过的，所以人们是爆发出热烈的欢呼声，burst into cheers爆发出欢呼声；burst into tears 突然大哭；burst into laughter突然笑起来。所以A正确。
D 他抱住一个孩子问观众...hold抓住，握住。符合后文的情节，他这一次是带孩子一起过的。所以D正确。
C 带孩子走钢丝已经很危险了，然而他还要求蒙住眼睛。While然而，但是。用在这里表示出乎意料，有转折意思。所以C正确。
B before thinking不假思索。体现了人们对大师的信任。所以选B。
A 此处为文章最后一段的议论埋下伏笔，开始引导人们思考换位思考，再做决断。Exchange ...with...用...换...,所以A正确。
A 后文的silence for ten minutes提示这里填silent，fall silent陷入寂静。所以A对。
D 后文的Sure enough和once more提示这又是一次成功的表演。所以D正确。
C 作者开始点题议论了：面对与自己利益毫不相干的事情时，做决断是简单的事情，反之则不然。都不舍得拿自己的孩子去冒险！
B 大部分人都不能清除的看到这一点指的就是can’t see it clearly.所以B正确。
D 只有像这位钢丝表演大师那样真正自信的人，才能做到任何时候都专注和冷静。Focused专注的，聚精会神的。所以D正确。

【文章大意】本文讲述了一只只有一只耳朵和一只眼睛的丑陋的猫对“我”给予的爱，即使是在它生命最后的时刻，忍着剧痛，它都不忘允吸我的耳朵，以示对我的感情。正是这样一只猫教会了我很多爱和给予别人爱的道理，一只满身伤疤的畸形猫如何改变了我对纯净心灵的理解-去爱得如此不顾一切、如此真诚，也正因如此我将永远心存感激
B 句意：他只有一只眼睛，另一侧成立一个大窟窿（眼睛已经没有了）。由于眼睛缺失而形成的一个大窟窿hole。

D 后面引号里的内容“That's one UGLY cat!!” ：每当人们看到这只猫时会做相同的心理反应:这真是一只丑八怪。response反应。

D 一天丑八怪将爱分享给了邻居家的狗们，可对方却并没有报以慈悲。Share sth with sb与某人一起分享...
B 根据and Ugly was badly bitten可知ugly被邻家的狗咬了，这是不够kind的行为，所以B对。
C 由rush to one’s aid跑去帮某人可知答案为aid。在听到ugly的惨叫声后，我迅速跑去帮它。所以C对。
A 由Ugly's sad life was almost at an end,和I could feel him struggling可知ugly明显apparent不行了，生命即将终结。A正确。
D 由前方可知猫已经严重受伤，生命奄奄一息，我将它抱起（pick up）带回家,所以D正确。
D 猫的允吸是可以感觉到的，此时此刻感受到以前那样相同的温暖，所D正确。
B 这只猫在生命的最后时刻忍着剧痛给予我爱，但其向我所央求的却只是一点点的慈爱（affection）,B正确。ABBDC
