Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down,  3  to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of  4 with lots of unexpected challenges(挑战).

 5  what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of  6  difficulties. We came to learn that something  7 could happen in a disaster . All over the world people  8 Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a  9 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of  10 had been received and sorted.

As  11 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us  12  and became a source of strength for us. We used them to   13 ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with “Funny” if we needed a  14 , or to the “Disabled” box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or 15 in bed living happily and 16 .

These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so  17  we offer one of them to you.

Yours Sincerely,

Nancy Reagan

3. B unable不能。从上文的paralyzed可看出,由于Chris从马上摔下来,高位截瘫,不能正常呼吸。

4. A  life of disability 无能为力的生活。

5. D yet然而。上文讲述了由于Chris从马上摔下来,使生活充满了意想不到的挑战,下文讲述了正是这些挑战使作者一家人学到了很多东西。两段是转折关系。

6. A  share共同承担。由于共同承担遇到的困难,而使这种磨难成了礼物

7. C  wonderful奇妙的。根据上文的gifts可判断出作者从生活的磨难中找到了奇妙的东西。

8. B  care for关心。从下文letters and postcards poured in every day可以看出全世界的人们都在关心着Chris

9. A  medical医疗的。根据上文Chris瘫痪了这件事可判断出这是发生在医疗中心。

10. D mail邮件。根据上文的letters and postcards可判断答案。他们收到了35 000封邮件。

11. B 从这句话的主语we可以看出,全家人一起把一封又一封的信打开。

12. C  comfort安慰。因为Chris瘫痪了,他们全家人受到了磨难,大家都来安慰他们。

13. A  encourage鼓励,鼓舞。大家的关心和安慰给了Chris一家很大的鼓舞。

14. B  根据上文的Funny可判断出当作者一家需要大笑时,作者去阅读标有“Funny”的信件,寻求笑料。

15. C even甚至。even在这里表示情况更糟糕。借助于轮椅生活的人还可以活动,躺在床上卧床不起的人情况更加严重。

16. D  successfully成功地。作者到标有“Disabled”的信件中寻找那些在轮椅里甚至卧床不起但生活幸福和成功的人们的建议。

17. A  here在这里。指在这篇短文里。

18. D 根据上文fell from his horse可判断出这里说的是骑马造成的事故。

19. C difficult challenge困难的挑战。瘫痪使生活充满困难。

20. D alive精力充沛。使作者一家精力充沛。

My name is Ralph and I am 42 years old. I work in a factory that I enjoy very much. On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.

Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty.

This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes. Someone started a rumor that I had dropped a pack of cigarettes and reached down to pick them up and that is how I lost my finger. This is not true. This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson.

We can ruin a person’s life by just a few bad words. There is an old saying that I will never forget: “Words and water are easily poured, but impossible to recover.” So please remember to watch what you say.

1.According to the author, his index finger on his right hand is almost as long as ________.

A. his middle finger on his right hand

B. his middle finger on his left hand

C. his thumb on his right hand

D. his thumb on his left hand

2.From the second paragraph, we know that the author ________.

A. was not happy with a short finger

B. had a good relationship with his wife

C. didn’t want to work any more in the factory

D. wanted to find an important job

3.The rumour about the author is that he lost his finger ________.

A. when he was picking up a pack of cigarettes that had fallen into the machine

B. because he was not careful and smoked when running the machine

C. because he was too sleepy to operate the machine properly 

D. when he was reaching down to fix something wrong in the machine

4.Which of the following can match the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A. Nothing is really beautiful but truth.
