They held Hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their 40 and stepped together 41 the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped 42 for the two chairs. He politely 43 his lady in the knee-deep water and then sat down himself. All people around laughed and cheered. 44 appeared. He paused for just a second, walked into the water to 45 the table and take their 46 , and then walked back to the 47 cheers of the rest of his 48 .

I got quite homesick and 22 thought about going home.Although the 23 time for many students is getting 24 from home, my mailbox was fre-quently 25 . One day when I went to the mailbox, there was a postcard 26 out at me. I sat down to read it, 27 a note from someone back home. 28 I became increasingly puzzled （困惑）as 29 postcards were like this; It was a full news report about a woman named Mabeland her newborn baby. I took the card back to my room and 30 about it. Several days later I 31 another postcard, this one 32 news about Maybelline, Mabelscousin. Soon after, another card arrived and then another, 33 full of news of different people. I began to 34 look forward to the next one, 35 to see what this author would come up with 36 . I was never 37 . Finally, the cards 38 coming, right about the time I had begun to feel 39 about college life. They had been such a happy distraction（调剂）that I have 40 all the postcards and still bring them out to read whenever I need a lift. 21AIfBSoCAsDWhat22AoftenBcarefully CseldomDmerely23AhardBlastCbusiestDhappiest24AvisitorsBlettersCcallsDdirections25AemptyBfullCclosedDopen26ApouringBreachingCstaringDrolling27AdescribingBconsideringCenjoyingDexpecting28AButBThusCAlsoDEven29AanyBnoCsomeDsuch30AjokedBtalkedCforgotDcared31AmailedBacceptedCwroteDreceived32AdeliveringBdemandingCdiscoveringDdeveloping33AoneBeachCeitherDboth34AnearlyBpossiblyCusuallyDreally35ApromisingBsurprisedCinterestedDpretending36AbelowBlatelyCnextDbehind37AfrightenedBdisappointedCexcitedDpleased38AcontinuedBstoppedCstartedDavoided39AeasyBsafeCtiredDanxious40AlostBcollectedCtornDsaved21答案：C解析：as后接形容词意为“就像样子”。表示自己也像许多人那样想家。if用于引导条件状语从句，意为“如果”。so是并列连词，意为“因此”。what引导名词性从句，在从句中作主语、宾语、表语。22答案：A解析：often意为“经常”，上文中的I got quite homesick表明作者非常想家。carefully意为“小心地”。seldom意为“不常；很少；难得”，与上文的内容矛盾。merely意为“单；只；纯粹；全然”。23答案：D解析：happy意为“高兴，幸福”，常指伴随幸福感或满足感产生的快乐心情，这种心情可能是暂时的，也可能持续一段较长的时间。表示许多学生最高兴的时刻。hard意为“艰难的”。last意为“最后的”。busy意为“繁忙的”。24答案：B解析：letter意为“信件”，从下文中的mailbox可知，许多学生最高兴的时刻是收到家中的来信。visitor意为“访问者，参观者”。call意为“(电话)通话”。direction意为“指示，命令，吩咐；用法说明”。25答案：A解析：empty意为“空的”，这是一个让步状语从句，表示两个句子之间是转折对比关系，许多学生把收到家中的来信看作是最高兴的时刻，而作者的信箱里却是空的。full意为“满 的”，与短文内容矛盾。closed意为“关闭的”，不符合实际情况。open意为“开着的”。26答案：C解析：stare意为“盯着看，目不转睛地看 (at), 凝视；瞪眼看得；瞪眼看，张大眼睛看”。这是一种比喻，比喻一封明信片像人人一样盯着作者看。pour意为“注，倒，灌，泻”，指大批的信件从邮箱中流出来。显然不符合实际情况。reach意为“到达”。roll意为“滚动”。27答案：D解析：expect意为“期待”指期待得到某种东西或发生某种情况。上文讲述了作者的邮箱里经常是空的，现在当他发现有一张明信片时，就迫不及待地坐下来读了起来，期待着家中的人给他写的东西。describe意为“描写”。consider意为“考虑”。enjoy意为“享受的乐趣”。28答案：A解析：but意为“但是”，表示两个句子之间是转折对比关系。比较前后的内容可以判断出这两个句子是转折对比关系，作者本来期待着家中的来信，但信的内容却是一个名叫Mabel的事。thus意为“因此”。also意为“也”。even意为“甚至”。29答案：B解析：no意为“没有”。表示没有像这样的明信片。any意为“任何一个”。some意为“某个”。such意为“这样的”。30答案：C解析：forget意为“忘记”。因为Mabel与作者无关，所以他很快就把这封明信片忘记了。joke意为“开玩笑”。talk about意为“谈论”。care about意为“关心”。31答案：D解析：receive意为“收到”，表示接收者客观地收到，并不表示愿意接受与否，指作者收到了另外一张明信片。mail意为“邮寄”。write意为“写”。accept意为“接受”，表示收到者经过考虑，主观上愿意接受所接之物。32答案：A解析：deliver意为“传达，传(话等)”，表示这封明信片讲述了有关Maybelline的事。demand意为“要求，请求；需要，询问，盘问，追究”。discover意为“看出，发现，看到”。develop意为“使发达，使发展；使发生；使进化”。33答案：B解析：each意为“每一个”，作者共收到了三封明信片，每一封都是不同人的事。one意为“一个”，指代上文提到的事。either意为“（两者）中的任意一个”。both表示“两者都”。34答案：D解析：really意为“真，真正，实在”，由于接连不断地收到明信片，使得作者真的盼望着再收到下一封明信片。nearly意为“几乎”。possibly意为“可能地”。usually意为“平常地”。35答案：C解析：interested作状语，表示“感兴趣的”，根据上文中的look forward to可判断出作者对明信片中的事感兴趣。promising作状语，表示伴随情况，意为“答应”，promise指给出诺言，正面、积极地许可、答应一件事，往往含有让人有肯定的感觉，但又几乎不保证结果会完全符合他人期望的意味，即只指意图，不指义务，只指美好的愿望，不指坏的意图。surprised意为“吃惊的”。pretending作状语，意为“假装”。36答案：C解析：next意为“下一个”，因为每一封明信片讲述了不同人物的事，所以作者期待着明信片的作者讲述下个人物。below意为“在下面，向下；在下方”。lately意为“近来，最近”。behind意为“在后，在后面，向后”。37答案：B解析：disappointed意为“失望的”，因为作者已经收到了三封明信片，所以他在盼望下一封明信片寄来时，从来没有感到失望。frightened意为“感到害怕的”。excited意为“激动人心的”。pleased意为“满意的”。38答案：B解析：stop doing sth意为“停止做某事”。根据right about the time可判断出明信片不再寄来。continue意为“继续”。start意为“开始”，与上文的内容矛盾。avoid意为“避免”。39答案：A解析：easy意为“舒服的，安乐的”，作者在短文中讲述了他在开始上大学时，感到想家，经过一段时间，他已经习惯了大学的生活，所以感到舒服和安逸。safe意为“安全的”。tired意为“疲劳的”。anxious意为“忧虑的，担心的；挂念的，焦急的”。40答案：D解析：save意为“保存”，根据所提供的情景still bring them out to read whenever I need a lift可判断出作者把这些明信片都保存下来。lose意为“丢失”，与下文的内容矛盾。collect意为“收集”。tear意为“撕毁”。2006年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英 语（北京卷）第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从第每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Learning to AcceptI learned how to accept life as it is from my father. 36 , he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy, but rather when he was 37 and ill.My father was 38 a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 39 all that away. Now he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is 40 . One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started 41 about life, and I told them about one of my 42 . I said that we must very often give things up 43 we grow - our youth, our beauty, our friends - but it always 44 that after we give something up, we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 45 up. He said, “But, Peter, I gave up 46 ! What did I gain?” I thought and thought, but I couldnt think of anything to say. 47 , he answered his own question: “I 48 the love of my family,” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness.I was also 49 by his words. After that, when I began to feel irritated (愤怒的) at someone, I 50 remember his words and become 51 . If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be 52 to give up my small irritations. In this 53 , I learned the power of acceptance from my father.Sometimes I 54 what other things I could have learned from him if I had listened more carefully when I was a boy.

A. awardB. giftC. lessonD. word这篇文章又是一篇感人至深，具有较好教育意义的精品小文。整篇文章又一个标题“Learning to accept”（学会接纳或宽容），这非常有利于考生在一定程度上把握文章的主旨。作者以倒叙的形式讲述了发生在他身上的故事。作者认为：有失必有得，要学会放弃，包括个人的青春、美丽和朋友在内的一切；如果失去，必然有相应的事物来代替。而作者年老多病的父亲却交给了他这样一个道理：他放弃了一切却一无所获，得到的只是家人的爱不要斤斤计较，要以爱心来对待一切，面对生活，使自己的内心平和。从文体上看，本文属于学生非常熟悉的记叙文。多数学生读能看懂文章，体现了完型填空重点考查词在真实的语境中的灵活应用。36C.爸爸教给我这个道理不是在他健康强壮的时候，而是在体弱多病的事后。语气转换。根据however的语法特征也能选中。37B根据全句的逻辑意思和下文的提示（he can no longer walk），选择一个与ill并列意义的词。38D爸爸以前是一个健康积极的人。39Atake away使（感情，感觉等）消失，带走；throw away丢弃某物（因不用或不需要）；send away把送往另一地方；put away收好。40B由上文爸爸体弱多病和下文他说的话，得知爸爸甚至讲话都困难。Impossible过于绝对，只失去说话能力；hopeful没有指望的，绝望的；stressful产生压力的。41C开始交谈，谈论生活，不是笼统地讲担心谁的生活（worry about）,关心谁的生活（care about）,询问谁的生活（ask about）.42D我跟他们讲了我的一个信条（我个人相信的事）(belief).由下文可知不是我的一个什么经验(experience);抱负（ambition）或某个决定（decision）43A.随着（as)我们长大，我们常常放弃一些东西。44C总的看起来是这样的，因为是一个人的看法及一般情况，语气不是特肯定，又不是某个人的建议或要求，故其他三个选项不可取。45Aspeak up（爸爸）突然大声说，说到；turn up拧大，开大；出现；sun up归纳，总结；判断，估量（此前，爸爸并没说话，故不能选）；open up开拓，开辟；开始畅谈，倾吐心事（不是一两句话，更不能突然开始）。46。D根据上下文及作者爸爸当时的状况，所谓“美好的事”一无所有了；从外表看只是一个体弱多病，非常难过的老年。故give up everything.47.A.爸爸提出一个问题，我以为让我来回答，我正在冥思苦想的时候，他却自己给出了答案，这出乎我的意料。48C回答针对上面爸爸提出的那个问题：What did I gain?49A我深受启发，所以改变了我以后的为人处事的方法。50Cwould 表示习惯性的行为。51B一想到爸爸的话，我的内心就平静下来，控制情绪；而不是保持安静(quiet)，放松（relaxed）或高兴(happy).52.D一想到爸爸既然能够用对别人的爱来代替他巨大的疼痛或痛苦这件事，我就必然能够（be able to do）放弃自己的不值一提的易怒情绪。53D这样(in this way),我就从爸爸身上学会了宽容的力量（power of acceptable）。Method指解决某个具体问题的科学的，符合逻辑的方法，通常搭配是with this/that method.54.B.现在我想知道，如果我从小的时候起，就认真地听我爸爸的，我还会学到其他什么东西呢？要注意该句用的是虚拟语气。55B即便如此，我也不是特别的遗憾，我很感谢我爸爸送给我的这个礼物（gift）。2006年高考（上海卷）III.
