It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along   36   the song playing on the radio. I   37    at the intersection(交叉路口) and looked both ways. The road was   38  . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came straight at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car  39  the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾馳) past my dead car  40   me by inches without even slowing down.

  41   I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips,   42   after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me   43  . With a red face and a(an)   44   smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home.

Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain  45  words coming from my son’s bedroom. He was replaying the   46   over and over in his mind. Too   47   I realized the   48   of those words that had   49   from my lips in that moment of anger. It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the   50   of that incident.

That  51   , however, did teach me just how strong words  52   be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒罵) in my own life and to start using words uplifting and    53    instead. I slowly realized that language is a gift from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned   54  that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a   55   spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light.

試題分析:試題分析:作者在自己的一次親身經(jīng)歷中,無意中表露的惡劣態(tài)度和語言對孩子產(chǎn)生了不良的影響,由此意識到了語言的重要性和影響力。提醒人們要在生活中使用美好的語言給人帶來愉快,使人振作,給人安慰;而不要惡語相加。

1.A介詞辨析。A 隨著,朝向;B 通過,憑借;C 通過;D在。。。上方。根據(jù)詞的用法可知隨著音樂唱歌或跳舞,應該使用介詞to,故正確答案為A。

2.B動詞短語辨析。A靠邊停車;B停車,停止;C 離站;D撤退,毀約。 從下文可知作者要轉(zhuǎn)彎,根據(jù)常識可知作者應該是在十字路口原地停下車,去看道路交通狀況,而A選項強調(diào)靠路邊停車,所以選B。句意:我在十字路口停下向道路兩邊看。

3.C形容詞辨析。A干凈的;B輕的;C無障礙的;D繁忙的。從上文的Traffic was light.判斷此時馬路上車輛稀少,應該是道路暢通無阻,所以作者才轉(zhuǎn)彎,所以正確選項是C。

4.B動詞辨析。A慢;B,使。。停止,殺死;C運轉(zhuǎn),跑;D開火,解雇。從作者的敘述可知那輛肇事車徑直飛速開過來,按情理推測為了避免撞車作者猛踩剎車讓車子停下來,故B選項正確。

5.B動詞辨析。A離開;B錯過;C敲;D 接近。從下文可知狀況雖然危險但是沒有發(fā)生意外,所以是沒碰到作者的車上,所以應該是錯過。B選項正確。

6.C連詞辨析。A當。。。時候;B 在。。。之后;C 在。。。之前;D通向。從情理推斷作者當時險些被撞,所以應該是氣急敗壞,不由自主的咒罵起來,故C選項正確。

7.A動詞辨析。A追逐;B狩獵;C看;D 尋找。從上文The speeder zoomed (疾馳) 。。。without even slowing down. 可知肇事汽車疾馳而過,作者的咒罵只能是在司機身后,所以A選項正確。

8.B副詞辨析。A及其,很壞地;B 天真無邪地;清白無辜地;C 勇敢地;D典型地。孩子是單純,天真無邪的,而且由下文作者的敘述可知孩子受到影響回家后也學會了咒罵,所以此處填B。

9.B形容詞辨析。A高興的;B 尷尬的;C 驚訝的;D 擔心的。根據(jù)With a red face和下文mistake一詞的出現(xiàn)可知作者意識到在孩子面前犯了一個錯誤,對孩子產(chǎn)生了不好的影響,所以此處應該是尷尬的表現(xiàn),故B選項正確。

10.B形容詞辨析。A 嚴重的;B不愉快的;C精確的;D 極好的。從下文可知兒子在學作者的咒罵,所以應該用令人不快的話語,所以B選項正確。

11.D名詞辨析。A音樂;B 故事;C 語言;D事件,事變。從情理可知作者險些被撞應該是不好的事件而且下文出現(xiàn)的to undo (消除)the 。。。of that incident.也是此空的提示,所以答案選 D。

12.D副詞辨析。A 抱歉;B差得;C很快;D 遲到,晚。從上下文可知此時已經(jīng)對孩子造成了不好的影響,所以作者現(xiàn)在意識到已經(jīng)太遲了,故正確選項應該是D。

13.A名詞辨析。A力量;B力氣,體力;C 大自然;D潛力。從故事的敘述中我們可以知道這篇文章講述的就是語言對于人的影響,而且how strong words 。。。 be.也是明顯的提示,所以A選項正確。

14.C名詞辨析。A恐懼,害怕;B 擔心;C 生氣;D 后悔。從上文可知作者當時差點被撞,當時是憤怒地咒罵,所以此處C選項正確。

15.A名詞辨析。A損壞;B課,教訓;C 形象,影像;D步驟;進程。從故事可知在事件當中作者的語言給孩子的純真友善帶來了影響。所以選A

16.A名詞辨析。A 錯誤;B意外;C 碰撞;D 現(xiàn)象。從上下文可知作者的語言給孩子造成了不良影響,這是作者犯的錯誤,此處是意識到了自己錯誤,故正確答案是B。

17.B情態(tài)動詞辨析。A應該;B 能夠;C需要;D 將。從語境可知此處是指語言的力量能夠有多大,所以B選項正確。

18.C動詞辨析。A 考慮到;B 有前途的;C 激勵人的;D 有動機的。從前面的uplifting和下文a few loving words can help a hurting heart,。。。and lighten a heavy load.可以判斷此處是和uplifting同類的,能夠鼓舞人的,讓人振作的話語。所以C選項正確。.

19.C副詞辨析。A或者;B 否則;C 也;D 然而。從上句I slowly realized that language is 。。。作者意識到了。。。,此處又講的是作者的感悟,所以C選項正確。

20.B形容詞辨析。A有挑戰(zhàn)性的;B 奮斗的,努力的;C 上升的;D 關心他人的。從語境可知美好的語言能激勵一個人,撫慰一顆受傷的心靈,所以此處應該是與hurting,heavy等相似意義形容詞,故B選項正確。

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鯨魚)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(無知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(權威).
