（2）考查名词。句意：我敲开了修女的房门去寻求帮助。A. direction“方向”;B. help“帮助”;
C. permission“许可”;
D. advice“建议”。因为当时作者还是个5岁的孩子,对于尿床不知该如何是好,所以只能寻求大人的帮助。故选B。
（3）考查名词。句意：他们反而让我去游行,提着打湿的床垫在宿舍走。A. pride“骄傲”；B. comfort“安慰”；C. shame“羞辱”；D. apology“道歉”。根据下文可知修女们在宿舍大声嚷嚷
给尿床的人让道"可知,他们是要羞辱作者。故选C。

巧”；B. tips“建议”；C. principles“准则,理念,原则”；D. methods“方法”。下文中的"my determination to keep 16 "（一定要坚持）是作者的原则或是座右铭。故选C。

（17）考查动词。句意：就在那个时候,我发现自己是个不错的商人。A. imagined“想象”；B. forgot“忘记”；C. discovered“发现”；D. suspected“怀疑”。根据上下文可知,此处用"发现"

3．阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出可以填入空白处
的最佳选项。
I come from one of those families where you have to yell at the dinner table to get in a word. Everyone has a strong 1 , and talks at the same time, and no one has a 2 leading
to heated arguments. We often talk or even debate with each other on different topics.
3 a family like mine has made me more
4 about the world around me, making me tend to question anything anyone tells me. But it has also made me realize that I'm not a good listener. And when I say "listening", I'm not
5 to the nodding-your-head-and-
6 -answering-Uh-huh-or-Ooh-I-see variety. I mean the kind of listening where you find yourself deeply
7 with the person you're speaking with, when his story becomes so
8 that your world becomes less about you and more about him. No, I was never very good at that.
I spent summer in South Africa two years ago. I worked for a good non-profit 9 called Noah, which works 10 on behalf of children affected by AIDS. But 11 you asked me what I really did in South Africa, I'd tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I 12 , but mostly listened.
And had I not spent two months 13 , I might have missed the 14 moment when
a quiet little girl at one of Noah's community centers, orphaned（孤儿）at the age of three, whispered after a long 15 , "I love you."
16 that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit down with anyone and hear their
17 and nod and respond at the 18 time-but most of the time I was 19 about the next words out of my own mouth. Ever since my summer in South Africa, I have noticed that
it's in those moments when my mouth is closed and my 20 is wide open that I've learned the most about other people, and perhaps about myself.

Back when he'd been fighting a war I wasn't alive to see, his young wife, Gee, had found herself living alone. Neighbors had taken the time to 8 her garbage cans so 9 didn't have to, and he 10 forgot. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us.

for her, how thankful we were to have 13 him. She wrote back and told us she still talked
to Tom every day.

the ladies who 17 Jim when their pool filter (过滤器) breaks and leave overflowing baskets for our kids on Easter. It's the police officer living directly across from us, who smiles and waves and makes me feel a little 18 when Jim is away.
The moving boxes are still neatly packed in our basement, but Jim and I agree to 19 until January. Maybe before leaving I'll talk to Tom, just as Gee still does. Thank you, I'll say,
for teaching us what it means to be a 20 .
