On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book.
During his talk, Jack 41 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?” 42 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 43 . But I jumped up, ran up the 44 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, 45 raced through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 46 security guards and take me from the stage? 47 my desire for bold (大胆的)action was louder than any 48 voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the 49 to come to us. We must take 50 to create what we want!’’
After his talk, I 51 to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next months, I sent him emails 52 my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy 53 other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant arrow that would show me the way.
I e-mailed him, and then again — but got no 54 . As I sat down at my computer to 55 my e-mails, I 56 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 57 that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs.
Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We 58 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 59 way. So we don’t try. We 60 . But as Wayne Gretzky said,“You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.
Now what are you waiting for?

解析试题分析:作者通过讲述了参加成功人士jack的一次讲座的难忘经历及讲座结束后作者通过两人的交往心得,说明一个道理:机会稍纵即逝,不要去被动的等待机会,而是应该主动去抓住机会。
【小题1】上下文串联。从下文中提到他拿出一张100美元的支票可以推断出此处是指他伸手去掏钱包,故填reach for伸手去够,伸手去拿。 bring in引进,赚钱;take over负责,接管;handed in上交,均不符合题意。
【小题2】上下文串联及常识。上文提到他拿出一张100美元的支票问谁要,根据常识肯定很多人都会快速的举起手要,与shot up连接起来表示“迅猛举起手来”。故应填hands.Cheers欢呼声;Shouts叫喊声;Heads头均与shot up 搭配不当。
【小题3】上下文串联。上文提到很多人都举手要那100美元,因此他们探着身子想知道Jack会 choose(选择)谁。offer提供;trust信任;like 喜欢.
【小题4】根据下文stage(舞台)可以得知是在较高处,因此作者是跳上台阶(steps)。Path小路,小道 road 道路; steps台阶;route路线。
【小题5】从破折号后面的一连串的疑问句,从内容上看都是作者的内心想法。故此处是指作者很多想法在脑海中萦绕。故选A。thoughts想法,思想;opinions观点;ideas主意,办法;plans计划。
【小题6】根据上下文语境,此处是指作者怀疑他们会打电话给保安过来把他拉走。故应该使用call。ask问,要求ask sb to do sth 要求某人做某事。demand要求;order命令
【小题7】上下文串联。从下文 I got the bill from his hand说明作者的行动战胜了怀疑,故此处与上文作者的怀疑态度构成转折关系,故选C
【小题8】上下文串联。从上文一连串的疑问句可以看出作者当时犹豫,矛盾的心理,但最终他内心渴望大胆的行动声音战胜了怀疑的声音。故选doubtful怀疑的;noisy吵闹的;meaningful有意义的;helpful有益的,有帮助的。
【小题9】原词复现。从文章最后一段You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!可以看出此处是指:我们不能等着机会自己找上门来。故选opportunities机会。Consequences结果; results结果;aims目的。
【小题10】考查固定搭配。Take steps/measures/action to do sth 采取措施做某事,故选D. Way方法,手段,不与take搭配。
【小题11】上下文串联。从下文可以看出作者和Jack有了交往,说明此处是指设法成功的会见了jack。Manage to do sth 设法做成功某事。Expect to do sth期待做某事;try to do sth 努力做某事;permit 不能直接接不定式,permit sb to do sth允许某人做某事。
【小题12】固定搭配。Share sth with sb 与某人分享某事。根据语境,此处是指作者通过电子邮件与Jack一起分享他的观点和梦想。State陈述;describe描述;present呈现,展示;share分享。
【小题13】固定搭配。be busy with sth 或be busy in doing sth忙于做某事。根据后面所接的词为other things.故填with。About和over不与be busy搭配。
【小题14】上下文串联。前段提到作者每次都会写邮件Jack,谈论他的观点和梦想,jack每次都 kindly e-mailed back,而本段中提到我再次写邮件给他时,用了转折词but,说明是他没有回复我,故选择response(回应,回复)。news消息;message消息,口信;reaction反应
【小题15】check意为“检查;核对”,强调检验事物是否与预料中的现象或者标准一致examine意为“仔细检查;心细查看”,以找出线索或发现问题。此外,它意为“对…进行考试”, inspect 检验;视察review复习。
【小题16】上文提到作者一直在等待着Jack回邮件,而当他坐在电脑旁查邮件的时候,他想起当年听Jack讲座时那一百美元的事儿,他顿悟了。故此处应该使用suddenly突然。gradually逐渐地;immediately 立刻,马上;slowly慢慢地。
【小题17】上下文串联。前后呼应。文章第二段提到很多听讲座的人都举手,说明他们都渴望那张百元支票。故选desire渴望; claim声称,要求;beg乞求;dream做梦。
【小题18】下文提到“会100%的错过机会,说明“认为一切事情都会以想当然的,自然的方式到来而不去尝试”是错误的认识,故选C。Particularly特别,尤其;honestly老实说;correctly正确的
【小题19】从下文So we don’t try我们不去尝试,可以推断:是因为我们认为一切事情都会以想当然的,自然的方式到来,即我们存在等待的心理。故选择D自然的。 difficult困难的; impressive给人印象深刻的;early早的
【小题20】从前文So we don’t try可以推断出我们放弃了。故选give up(放弃)。put up举起,张贴;take up从事,占据;set up建立。

Embroidering(刺绣)
When I was a little boy living in New York, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the 36 and ask what she was doing. She 37 me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the underside I watched her work within the 38 of the little round hoop(铁环)that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked 39 from where I sat.
She would smile at me, look down and 40 say, "My son, you go about your 41 for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my 42 and let you see it from my side."
I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the 43 ones and why they seemed so jumbled(混乱的)from my 44 . A few minutes would pass and then I would hear Mother's voice say, " Son, come and sit on my knee." This I did only to be surprised and 45 to see a beautiful flower or a sunset. I could not 46 it, because from underneath it looked so messy.
Then mother would 47 to me, "My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realize that there was a 48 plan on the top. It was a 49 . I was only following it. Now look at it from my side 50 you will see what I was doing."
Many 51 through the years, I have 52 up to my Heavenly Father and said, “ Father, what are You doing? ” He 53 , “ I am embroidering your 54 . ”I say, " But it looks like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright ? " The Father seems to tell me, " My child, you go about your business of doing My business, and one day I will bring you to 55 and put you on my knee and you will see the plan from My side. "

Since my family were not going to be helpful, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one.
I had seen an agency (中介机构) advertised in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the 61 in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as 62 as if I were going on the stage. Finding the 63 quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”
The simple atmosphere of the office 64 me. The woman looked carefully at me 65 through her glasses, and then 66 me in a low voice. I answered softly. All of a sudden I started to feel rather 67 . She wondered why I was looking for this sort of 68 . I felt even more helpless when she told me that it would be 69 to get a job without 70 . I wondered whether I ought to leave, 71 the telephone on her desk rang. I heard her say: “ 72 , I’ve got someone in the 73 at this very moment who might 74 .” She wrote down a 75 , and held it out to me, saying: “ Ring up this lady. She wants a 76 immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”
“ Oh yes,” said I — 77 having cooked for more than four in my life. I 78 her again and again, and rushed out to the 79 telephone box. I collected my thoughts, took a deep breath, and rang the number. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for. I spent the next few hours 80 cook books.
