Terry因不滿他的生活和妻子搬到了另一個城市。突然一天停電了，他們沒有帶蠟燭，一個小女孩給他們送來了蠟燭。從這件事上Terry明白了他生活失敗的原因，并不是因為別人，而是因為他自己，因為他對別人的不友好。

【1】句意：一天他告訴他的妻子他對一切是如此的失望，以至于他不得不離開城市，所以他的家搬到了另外一個城市。love愛；leave離開；light點亮；visit參觀。根據(jù)下句話so his family moved to another city可知，Terry和妻子去了另一個城市，因此這里是“離開”的意思，故選B。

【2】句意：Terry很抱歉忘記了帶蠟燭。want 想要；decide決定；forget忘記；remember記得。根據(jù)句中Terry was sorry以及下文She said，“My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles可知，Terry忘記了帶蠟燭。故應選C。

【3】句意：Terry在這個新城市里不認識任何人，而且這是他特別討厭被打擾的時刻。followed跟隨；遵循；troubled打擾；惹麻煩；talked談話；laughed笑。根據(jù)文意可知，Terry生活失敗來到了新的城市，這一天又停電了，他們沒有蠟燭，因此Terry的心情是很糟糕的，他不愿被打擾。故應選B。

【4】句意：門口是一個小女孩，害羞地問：“先生，你有蠟燭嗎？”sweets糖果；toys玩具；lights燈；candles蠟燭。根據(jù)下文She said，“My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles可知，小女孩給Terry送來了蠟燭，由此可知，這里小女孩是問Terry有蠟燭嗎，故應選D。

【5】句意：他重重地把門關上了。easily容易地；worriedly擔心地；happily開心地；heavily重重地。根據(jù)上文“No’’, answered Terry angrily可知，Terry很生氣，所以應該是“重重地關門”，選D。

【6】句意：但這次她拿著一支放著紅光的蠟燭。carrying攜帶重物；seeing看到；holding拿著，握著；drawing畫畫。根據(jù)下句話She said，“My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles可知，小女孩是來送蠟燭的，所以這里應該是“拿著”，選C。

【7】句意：是他對別人的不友好（導致了他生活的失�。�。sadness 傷心；unkindness不友好；unhappiness不開心；shyness害羞。根據(jù)上文的敘述可知，Terry對那個小女孩非常的不友好，下文for his eyes had been ___8___ by his cold mind提到“他冷酷的頭腦”，因此這里應選B。

這篇短文給我們講述了一個小故事，Terry一直對自己的生活不滿意，總是埋怨周圍的人。而他搬家之后發(fā)生的這件小事讓他意識到了，一切其實是他自己的不友好導致的。文章敘述清晰，線索明顯，比較容易理解。題型是完形填空，考查學生們在具體語境中運用語言的能力，綜合性較強。做題時，應先通讀短文，了解大意；然后根據(jù)上下文語境做題，注意辨析選項中四個單詞的意思和用法；最后將答案代入原文，再讀一遍，檢查答案。例如第1小題，考查動詞辨析，love愛；leave離開；light點亮；visit參觀。根據(jù)下句話so his family moved to another city可知，Terry和妻子去了另一個城市，因此這里是“離開”的意思，故選B。再如第5小題，考查副詞辨析，easily容易地；worriedly擔心地；happily開心地；heavily重重地。根據(jù)上文“No’’, answered Terry angrily可知，Terry很生氣，所以應該是“重重地關門”，選D。
