Question

I was sitting at the bar of a local restaurant having __36__ and taking a break. A pretty girl who looked about 25 walked in and sat down in a booth(饭馆的小隔间) __37__ for her friend. It didn’t take long __38__ I saw she was trying to stay __39__ from other people’s gazes(注视) and my heart sank. You could see her hair was __40__ and, at such a young age, she was receiving chemo(化疗).

I sat there watching her trying to remain composed(镇静的) and she was having a __41__ time of it. I __42__ for her, imagining what it must be like to go through this and yet I know some of her __43__.

You see I __44__ my wife, the love of my life just a few short years ago and watched her slowly fade away. I needed to give a message of __45__ to this girl. But how? What could I do?

Then it __46__ to me! I called over her waitress and explained that I wanted to buy the girl and her friend’s lunch but I also told her not to tell her it was me. I also __47__ the waitress a note to give to the girl.

The note __48__ as follows:

“ Someone today thought you were beautiful; someone today thought your smile glowed __49__ excitement; someone today thought your eyes __50__ up the world; someone today cared and wanted you to know this. Enjoy the rest of your day, pretty young lady.”

About 15 minutes later, the young girl asked for her __51__ and I watched as she was told it was paid for. She asked why? Who? What for? The waitress simply handed her the note and __52__ to her the gentleman who did it left.

I watched as she slowly read the note. Her eyes tore up, for only a moment, and then came the smile! A huge, beautiful, hopeful smile! She lit up the room and then sat up straight, not __53__ who saw her.

It’s not __54__ we look or what we have; it’s not our houses or how many cars we have; nor is it how much money we can earn. It’s all about how much we care and what we do, __55__ it’s making someone feel pretty only for a moment.

【解析】

试题分析:

1.根据I called over her waitress and explained that I wanted to buy the girl and her friend’s lunch but I also told her not to tell her it was me.可以知道小女孩在吃午饭，故选B

2.search for和look for两者都是“寻找”；hope for“期待”；wait for“等候”；根据上下文的语境应是小女孩在等她的朋友吃饭。故选D

3.It didn’t take long before…“没过多久”，这是固定句型。故选B

4.hidden    “躲藏的”； stubborn “顽固的”； focused “集中的，聚焦的”； sighted “目光短浅的”；从下文可知小女孩由于做化疗头发都掉了，自己不愿让别人看见所以躲着别人的目光。故选A

5.fall in“集合，跟随”； fall over“摔倒”； fall out“脱落，离队”； fall behind“落在后面”，小女孩的头发在脱落，故选C

6.have a good/great time“过得愉快”； have a tough time“过着煎熬的日子” ；have an easy time“过着安逸的日子”；根据上下文小女孩有病在身，过着煎熬的日子，故选C

7.sink “下沉，消沉”； ache “疼痛”； trust “信任”； puzzle “困惑”，从下文可知作者同情这个小女孩要给她和她的朋友买单，所以看到小女孩这个样子作者心痛，故选B

8.idea “想法，主意”； view “观点，风景”； trouble “烦恼”； pain

 “疼痛”，上文一直在说小女孩的心理的痛，所以作者理解的也是她的痛，故选D

9.leave “离开”； desert “放弃”； bury “埋葬”； value“看重，珍惜”，根据下文the love of my life just a few short years ago and watched her slowly fade away.可以看出作者很爱他的妻子，但是妻子离开了人世。故选C

10.dream    “梦想”； hope“希望，信心”； energy “能量，精力”； wish “希望，愿望”。

hope用作名词的基本意思是有可能实现的“希望”或“期望”,也可表示“有希望的人或事物”。作“希望,期望”解时,既可用作可数名词,也可用作不可数名词; 作“有希望的人或事物”解时是可数名词,常用于单数形式。hope常与介词of或for连用,其后可接名词、动名词或动名词的复合结构。其后还常接由that引导的同位语从句。

wish的基本意思是“希望”“想要”,指对未曾达到、难以达到或不可能达到的目标极其渴望。wish还可作“祝愿”解。

dream的基本意思是“梦”,指人在睡眠时在大脑中形成一种幻觉。dream还可指“梦想,理想”,指在人的头脑中形成的某种愿望; 用于口语中还可指梦一般美好的人或物,即“好极了,太美了”。引申可指“幻想”。

energy的基本意思是“活力”“干劲”“能力”,多用作不可数名词,在指人的“精力”时多用复数形式。引申可表示“能”“能量”“能源”。

energy作“能力”解时,其后面可用动词不定式作定语,但不可用 v -ing形式。

这里作者要给小女孩可以实现的愿望，选B

11.strike to    sb “给某人一打击”； happen to sb“发生在某人身上”； occur to sb“某人突然想到”； hit“打击”。根据I called over her waitress and explained that I wanted to buy the girl and her friend’s lunch but I also told her not to tell her it was me. “我”突然有了一个想法，故选C

12.hand sb sth“把某物递给某人”； present sb with sth “把某物赠给某人”； provide sb with sth “为某人提供某物”； bring sb sth“带给某人某物”。根据下文The waitress simply handed her the note，作者递给服务员一张便条，故选A

13.tell “告诉”； speak “讲”； read “写着”； write“写”。 便条上写着以下内容，故选C

14.这是固定短语with excitement激动地，故选D

15.tear up “撕碎”； light up “照亮”； cheer  up “振作起来”； lift up “举起”。根据下文She lit up the room可知答案，故选B

16.根据I watched as she was told it was paid for.可知小女孩要结账付钱，故选A

17.explain to sb “向某人解释”； inform sb. of sth. “告知某人某事”； warn sb. of sth. “告诫某人某事”； remind sb. of sth. “提醒某人某事”。根据上下文语境及短语搭配， 故选A

18.根据Her eyes tore up, for only a moment, and then came the smile! A huge, beautiful, hopeful smile! She lit up the room and then sat up straight,可以看出小女孩非常高兴，只顾高兴了，没有去在乎是谁在看她。故选D

19.根据…we look or what we have可以看出这里look不及物动词，它后不缺宾语故排除A,根据It’s all about how much we care and what we do及上下文的语境可以看出应选D。

20.even though “即使”； as though “好像”； as if “好像”； if only “只要”。…即使我们那样做使某个人感到一时的快乐，根据句意故选A
