The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat's days were 31 . The doctor had said there wasn't anything more that could be done, that he should take the Cat home and make him as 32 as possible.
The man put the Cat on his lap and 33 .The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear
34 down the Man's cheek and 35 on the Cat's forehead. The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.
" Why do you cry, Man?" the Cat asked. "Because you can't 36 the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?" The Man 37 "yes".
"And where do you think I'll be 38 I leave you?" the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. " 39
your eyes, Man," the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.
"What color are my eyes and fur?" the Cat asked. " Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown," the Man replied.
"And where is it that you most often 40 me?" asked the Cat. “I see you. . . on the kitchen window
41 the birds …,on my favorite chair. . . on my desk lying on the papers I need. . . on the pillow next to my
42 at night. " "Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes," said the Cat.
“Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my ‘toy’ .” he Man opened his eyes, then 43 over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to 44 himself
for hours with it. '"Now take each end of the string in one hand," the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
"The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my 45 . Now bring the two ends together," the Cat said. The Man obeyed.
"You have made a continuous 46 ," said the cat. "Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?" The Man inspected the string and then 47 his head " no".
The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the 48 , then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and 49 his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held in his hand.
One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was lovely and white…very different from his earlier 50 Cat and very much the same.

解析试题分析:原来很深奥的道理不一定需要很复杂的语言去解释。本文就是一个范例。文章通过猫和主人简单的一问一答告诉我们:当身边的人离去时,他们其实活在我们的心里;告诉我们:生命原本是一个无所谓开始更无所谓结束的圆圈;告诉我们:每一段生命的结束都意味着新生命的开始。只要心中还有爱,有思念,我们就可以笑对生死,珍惜人生。
【小题1】A 根据上文“男人非常伤心”可以推测“他知道猫余下的日子不多了”。选numbered有限的,时日不多的;accounted解释,导致,报账;decreased减少,减小;figured计算在内,估计,推测,认为。本题最大的干扰项为C项。根据常识“对于任何生命来说时日都在减少”,用“decreased(减少,减小)”不符合常理。而这儿所说的意思却是“猫很快就要死了即剩下的时日不多了”。
【小题2】A comfortable舒服的;impressive给人印象深刻的,感人的,引人注目的,可观的;considerate体贴的,体谅的;excitin激动的。句意:医生说已经没法治了,他应该把猫带回家,并尽可能地让他在剩下的时间里过得舒服些。
【小题3】根据上文的描述“猫已经病入膏肓,无法救治,他感到很悲伤”,所以他此时最不可能“开怀大笑(laughed)” 。对比其余三个选项“frustrated(挫败的,失意的,泄气的)、complained(抱怨)和sighed(叹气,叹息)”,还是D项最符合语境:男人把猫放在腿上,叹了口气。
【小题4】D一滴眼泪从男人的脸颊上滚落下来(rolled down),……。put down放下;记下;rush down泻,奔泻(一滴眼泪是不会出现这种情况的);curl down把身子蜷做一团躺着。
【小题5】C根据上文“一滴眼泪从男人的脸颊上滚落下来”可以推断眼泪“落在了(landed)猫的额头上”。 “landed 降落”用在这儿非常形象。appeared出现,似乎,seemed看上去,似乎;dried哭叫。
【小题6】D根据上文“你为啥哭啊,伙计?”和下文“……因为你认为永远都没有什么能代替我?”我们可以推断这儿应该与“bear承受,忍受”有关:“因为一想到将要失去我,你就无法承受?”。think认为;imagine想象;remember记得,记住。
【小题7】B 根据下文的回答“yes”就可以得出答案:男人点了点头(nodded):“是的。” smiled微笑(这时候男人是笑不出来的);shook摇头表示“否定”;cried哭叫。
【小题8】A 根据上文“你认为我会到到什么地方去呢?”说明不可能“在我离开你之前(before)”,也不可能“直到(until)我离开你”;上下文更没有因果(becuase)关系,故排除BCD选项。只有A项(when)符合语境。这里“when”表示条件,相当于if ,引导条件状语从句。如:How can I get a job when I can't even read or write?如果我连读和写都不会,我怎么能找到工作呢?句意:“如果我离开了你,那么你认为我会到什么地方去呢?”猫问道。男人无望地耸了耸肩。
【小题9】B根据下文“男人疑惑地看了他一眼”说明男人的眼睛当时是睁着的,所以上文应该是猫叫他“闭上眼睛”。下文中也有提示。“闭上眼睛吧,伙计。”猫说。男人疑惑地看了他一眼,但还是听话地闭上了眼睛。Open睁开;Close闭;Turn转动;Fix盯住。
【小题10】A根据下文回答“I see you. . . on the kitchen window… ”我们可以推断上句的问话是“那你最常在什么地方见到我呢?”原词(see)重现。accompany陪伴;observe观察;adore崇拜,爱慕。
【小题11】根据文中“the birds”可以排除“catching抓住,逮住”,因为一只猫不可能在同一时间逮住一群鸟。根据常识猫喜欢“watching观看,看”鸟,试图逮住其中的一只;interviewing采访;admiring赞赏,钦佩。“我经常见到你……在厨房的窗台上看鸟……”
【小题12】D根据上文“on the pillow(在枕头上)”顺理成章推出与“头(head)”有关。foot脚;body身子,身体(如果选这个选项为答案的话,就显得非常笼统,概念扩大);arm手臂。句意:“我经常见到你……在厨房的窗台上看鸟……在我最喜欢的椅子上……躺在桌子上我需要用的文件上……晚上睡在我脑袋边的枕头上。”
【小题13】B 根据上文“Pick up that piece of string from the floor—there, my ‘toy’ .(把地上的那段绳子捡起来——那里,我的‘玩具’)”可以判断是要“reached over (伸出手来拿)”的。walk over 穿过,走到另一地方;run over撞倒,溢出;turn over翻过来,接管。句意:男人睁开眼睛,伸手捡起了绳子。
【小题14】A 因为上文说“那段绳子是我的‘玩具’”,故可以推断“绳子是用来娱乐(entertain)的” devote奉献,使致力于;concern关心,关注;disappoint使失望。句意:绳子大约两英尺长,猫曾经能够抓着绳子自娱自乐。
【小题15】D与上文的“birth(出生)”相对应的应该是“death(死亡)”。life生命,生活;home家;family 家,家庭。句意:“你左手捏着的那端就是我的出生,而右手的那端就是我的死亡。现在把两端连在一起。”猫说道。男人又照做了。
【小题16】C根据上文“把绳子两端连在一起”和常识判断就会形成一个“circle(圆圈)”。wave波浪;string绳子;point点。句意: “一个连贯的圆圈,”猫说,“这个绳子上的任意一点同其它点有什么不同吗?比绳子的其它部分更好或者更差吗?”
【小题17】B 根据下文的“no”说明男人摇摇头(shook)表示“这个绳子上的任意一点同其它点没有什么不同。也不比绳子的其它部分更好或者更差”。turned转;raised抬起,升起;hit击中,击打。句意:男人审视着那根绳子,然后摇了摇头,“没有啊。”
【小题18】A 与上文“I see you. . . on the kitchen window the birds …,on my favorite chair. . . on my desk lying on the papers I need…”相呼应。答案为A. window。desk办公桌;door门;pillow枕头。文意:男人用力闭上了眼睛,泪如泉涌。他看到猫蹲在窗台上,然后是他的床上,然后躺在他的重要文件上。他看到猫在他脑袋边的枕头上,看到他明亮的金黄色的眼睛,还有鼻子和耳朵上深褐色的毛发。
【小题19】B句意:他睁开眼睛,透过泪水看向他依然捏在手里的绳圈。over越过,through透过,穿过;with用,伴随;under在……下(面)。
【小题20】A 从第一段的描述来看,男人对那只先前的猫是“深爱的(beloved)”。acquainted了解的,熟悉的;bothered厌烦的;compromised妥协的,退让的。文意:不久以后的某一天,他的膝上有了一只新的猫咪。她是一只可爱的白色花斑猫——与之前那只他深爱的猫是那么的不同,然而又是那么的相同。

Then I told her I was 46 for the job.
The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little 47 , he was quite a mix.
At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy’s face 48 up—How he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be 49 to get a child to go down a slide. Believe me, it wasn’t! It took him a lot of time. But with patience and support. Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his 50 and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.
Halfway through the summer, he 51 it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his 52 . After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big 53 and asked, “May I go down again alone?”
I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children 54 for granted.
This 55 child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had 36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was 37 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 38 afford a dream.
My dream was to be a 39 . When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety – mile – per – hour fastball. I was also 40 : my high – school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 41 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular 42 with him changed my life forever.
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 43 . This meant a chance for my first income – cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 45 at it.
Then I realized I would have to 46 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was 47 about this.
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 48 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your 49 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”
I stood before him with my head 50 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth 51 his disappointment in me.
“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.
“$ 3.25 an hour,” I replied.
“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a 52 ?” he asked.
That 53 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to 54 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the 55 of my dreams.

As a father, I greatly valued the moments 36 my son and I could be together, and that day was really special.
Louisville, Kentucky was a place where basketball was an important part of life, and 37 taking my son to an NBA exhibition game was one of those special moments. But little did I realize how special that evening was going to be! It was blowing some mean wind. Josh 38 my hand as we crossed the parking lot and 39 for the famous Freedom Hall. 40 eight years old, he still felt it was okay to hold his father’s hand, and I felt grateful, knowing that this kind of moments would pass 41 .

It 52 really well, and he was really focused attentively as he carefully made a double square knot to keep it secure. On this special 53 I realized the significance of the moment.

The summer of 1975 I’d just graduated from college in Southern California and received a Ford Car for a 36 present. I had my first job, in Los Angeles. One Sunday night, thinking myself a very 37 gown-up, I 38 my uncle’s place in South Laguna after a visit, 39 admitting to him that I had less than an eighth of a tank of gas and no 40 to buy more on the way to L.A. I pulled onto the Pacific Coast Highway and watched the 41 move down as I headed north. When the engine started giving off strong smells, I 42 into a gas station. There was no self-serve then; there were no credit cards, no ATMs.
I 43 the guy at the station. I could write him a check for gas, I said, or I could 44 in my car and try to walk to a town with a 45 the next morning.

“Really?” I said. 50 bloomed. “Oh, thank you. Thank you. But please. I just need two 51 worth. I just need to get home.”
“Fill it,” he 52 to the attendant. Then he turned to me, “You’ll do the same one day, for someone else.”
I keep looking for someone unlucky, hoping to save her 53 on the road. Meanwhile, in case she never shows up, I try for other acts of 54 kindness. That quiet driver is always at the pump a few feet away, instructing the attendant to fill mine 55 .
