David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school 【1】 (dress) so inappropriately for the cold winter months. But something made David special. He always stayed after school 【2】 （straighten） chairs and mop the floor. He would just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for 【3】 (let ) him stay and slowly head for home.

On the last day of school before Christmas holiday break, I saw David 【4】 (quiet) standing by my desk.“I have something for you.” he said and 【5】 (pull )from behind his back a small box. Handing it to me, he said anxiously, “【6】 it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw 【7】 . I looked at David’s smiling face and said, “The box is nice, David, 【8】 it’s empty.”“Oh no, it isn’t.” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”

Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the proud dirty face that I 【9】 (rarely give) attention to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot 【10】 meaning behind the little empty box set on my desk.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】dressed

【2】to straighten

【3】letting

【4】quietly

【5】pulled

【6】Open

【7】nothing

【8】but

【9】 had rarely given

【10】the

【解析】

试题分析：一个孩子虽然穿着很破旧，但是他总是帮助老师整理桌子打扫教室。他告诉老师妈妈在死前说过，爱是看不见摸不着的除非你知道它就在那儿。

【1】穿衣服用dressed，不用dressing。

【2】这里用动词不定式to straighten表目的。

【3】介词for后用动词的-ing形式：letting。

【4】用副词quietly修饰动词sat。

【5】and连接前后两个动词的过去式，所以这里用pulled。

【6】西方人的习惯是当面打开礼物，所以这里填 Open。

【7】后面说empty，所以这里什么都没有看到，填nothing。

【8】这里表转折，用but。

【9】根据句意可知，用过去完成时had rarely given表示以前不知道，那时才知道。

【10】这里是特指，用定冠词the。
