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 (疾驰) 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 (咒骂) 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.

试题分析:试题分析:作者在自己的一次亲身经历中,无意中表露的恶劣态度和语言对孩子产生了不良的影响,由此意识到了语言的重要性和影响力。提醒人们要在生活中使用美好的语言给人带来愉快,使人振作,给人安慰;而不要恶语相加。

1.A介词辨析。A 随着,朝向;B 通过,凭借;C 通过;D在。。。上方。根据词的用法可知随着音乐唱歌或跳舞,应该使用介词to,故正确答案为A。

2.B动词短语辨析。A靠边停车;B停车,停止;C 离站;D撤退,毁约。 从下文可知作者要转弯,根据常识可知作者应该是在十字路口原地停下车,去看道路交通状况,而A选项强调靠路边停车,所以选B。句意:我在十字路口停下向道路两边看。

3.C形容词辨析。A干净的;B轻的;C无障碍的;D繁忙的。从上文的Traffic was light.判断此时马路上车辆稀少,应该是道路畅通无阻,所以作者才转弯,所以正确选项是C。

4.B动词辨析。A慢;B,使。。停止,杀死;C运转,跑;D开火,解雇。从作者的叙述可知那辆肇事车径直飞速开过来,按情理推测为了避免撞车作者猛踩刹车让车子停下来,故B选项正确。

6.C连词辨析。A当。。。时候;B 在。。。之后;C 在。。。之前;D通向。从情理推断作者当时险些被撞,所以应该是气急败坏,不由自主的咒骂起来,故C选项正确。

7.A动词辨析。A追逐;B狩猎;C看;D 寻找。从上文The speeder zoomed (疾驰) 。。。without even slowing down. 可知肇事汽车疾驰而过,作者的咒骂只能是在司机身后,所以A选项正确。

8.B副词辨析。A及其,很坏地;B 天真无邪地;清白无辜地;C 勇敢地;D典型地。孩子是单纯,天真无邪的,而且由下文作者的叙述可知孩子受到影响回家后也学会了咒骂,所以此处填B。

9.B形容词辨析。A高兴的;B 尴尬的;C 惊讶的;D 担心的。根据With a red face和下文mistake一词的出现可知作者意识到在孩子面前犯了一个错误,对孩子产生了不好的影响,所以此处应该是尴尬的表现,故B选项正确。

10.B形容词辨析。A 严重的;B不愉快的;C精确的;D 极好的。从下文可知儿子在学作者的咒骂,所以应该用令人不快的话语,所以B选项正确。

11.D名词辨析。A音乐;B 故事;C 语言;D事件,事变。从情理可知作者险些被撞应该是不好的事件而且下文出现的to undo (消除)the 。。。of that incident.也是此空的提示,所以答案选 D。

12.D副词辨析。A 抱歉;B差得;C很快;D 迟到,晚。从上下文可知此时已经对孩子造成了不好的影响,所以作者现在意识到已经太迟了,故正确选项应该是D。

13.A名词辨析。A力量;B力气,体力;C 大自然;D潜力。从故事的叙述中我们可以知道这篇文章讲述的就是语言对于人的影响,而且how strong words 。。。 be.也是明显的提示,所以A选项正确。

15.A名词辨析。A损坏;B课,教训;C 形象,影像;D步骤;进程。从故事可知在事件当中作者的语言给孩子的纯真友善带来了影响。所以选A

16.A名词辨析。A 错误;B意外;C 碰撞;D 现象。从上下文可知作者的语言给孩子造成了不良影响,这是作者犯的错误,此处是意识到了自己错误,故正确答案是B。

17.B情态动词辨析。A应该;B 能够;C需要;D 将。从语境可知此处是指语言的力量能够有多大,所以B选项正确。

18.C动词辨析。A 考虑到;B 有前途的;C 激励人的;D 有动机的。从前面的uplifting和下文a few loving words can help a hurting heart,。。。and lighten a heavy load.可以判断此处是和uplifting同类的,能够鼓舞人的,让人振作的话语。所以C选项正确。.

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(海绵), 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.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鲸鱼)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.

__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(权威).
