years Tom Anderson’s life was withered up 枯萎by the memory of his part in a fraternity 友爱,互助会adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates.He and his wife separated after six years of marriage.Then the news about Tom changed.His wife Betty came back;he earned a fine position.One day he told me what had changed his life.“I used to think,‘Nothing can undo what I have done.’ The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake.It put a wall between my wife and me.”“Then I had an unexpected visit from the person I was most afraid to see—the mother of the college classmate who died.‘Years ago’,she said,‘I found it in my heart,through prayer,to forgive you.Betty forgave you.So did your friends and employers.’She paused,and then said seriously,‘You are the one person who hasn’t forgiven Tom Anderson.Who do you think you are to stand out against the people of this town and the Lord Almighty?’I looked into her eyes and found therea__kind__of__permission__to__be__the__person__I__might__have__been__ if__her__boy__had__lived.For the first time in my adult life I felt worthy to love and be loved.”It is only through forgiveness of our mistakes that we gain the freedom to learn from experience.But forgiving our shortcomings doesn’t mean denying that they exist.On the contrary,it means facing themhonestly,realistically.Can a person be all-forgiving and still be human?A scientist I know spent four years as a slave laborer in Germany.His parents were killed by Nazi street bullies;his younger sister and older brother were sent to the gas chambers.This is a man who has every reason to hate.Yet he is filled with a love of life that he conveys to everyone who knows him.He explained it to me the other day:“In the beginning I was filled with hatred.Then I realized that in hating I had become my own enemy.Unless you forgive,you cannot love.And without love,life has no meaning.”Forgiveness is truly the saving grace.1.Tom Anderson and his wife separated after six years of marriage probably because________.A.he had killed one of his classmatesB.he had cared more for his adventure than for his wifeC.his wife looked down upon his poor positionD.his life had been made in a great mess by his deep guilt2.The key reason for which Tom’s life changed back to normal may be that________.A. his wife Betty came back to himB.the mother of his college classmate asked Betty to forgive him for his guiltC.he eventually learned to face his guilt honestly,realistically and forgave himselfD.he earned a fine position and finally made a lot of money3.The underlined part in the second paragraph means that________.A.the mother of my college classmate permitted me to be a real person B.even my college classmate would permit me to be what I used to beC.I wouldn’t be a person unless my college classmate permitted me toD.I might have been a successful person if my college classmate had lived4.The best title for this passage could be________.A.Forgiveness:the saving graceB.Hatred:unrealistic way of livingC.Love:a meaningful worthy lifeD.Guilt:unforgivable mistake2011·检测二Fear is an emotion like others such as happiness,anger,hurt,sadness.We need emotions to process information we receive and decide how to respond.Being afraid of fast cars,for example,is something that might protect us from harm.Being afraid of the consequence of a choice may prevent us getting into trouble.Fears in young children commonly center on certain animals likesnakes or big dogs.Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others,and at times,the media.Many normal fears during the early years,like men with beards,or large dogs,disappear with age.Those relating to personal failure and ridicule 嘲笑 remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome.Children’s fears are often small,but that doesn’t mean they should be dismissed as trivial 微不足道的.They need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child.Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to settle them.Research shows that as a child grows up,the center of his fears changes a lot.Things like divorce,a teacher who “shouted at me”,people with guns,bullies,big boys,or “making fun of me” top the list of childhood fears.”We cannot always prevent these experiences from happening,but it is essential that children be allowed to freely express their emotions without judgment.Sympathy and a caring listener will help ease pain of these fears.Read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar fears.This helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope.With all emotions,fears become less of a problem for children as they gain self-confidence and they find that fear is normal and can be dealt with.5.According to Paragraph 2,we can know that fears in young children________.A.only center on frightening animalsB.are not born but learnedC.can make sure of their safetyD.need special help to deal with6.Children’s fears are often ignored because________.A.they exist widely in the worldB.they will disappear with ageC.people thought they are not worth consideringD.they are often imaginary7.In dealing with children’s fears,the final goal of the parents is to________.A.stop unpleasant experiences happening to childrenB.let children know about the nature of fearC.create an environment where there is nothing to fearD.de velop children’s ability to treat their fears on their own 8.From the passage we can learn that________.A.some childhood fears may have a lasting influenceB.children should avoid the media to reduce their fearC.fears can be judged according to the environmentD.children with similar fears can communicate easily9.What’s the best title for this passage?A.Children’s fears.B.How to overcome children’s fears.C.The kind of children’s fears.D.The bad effects of fears.Ⅲ.短文改错2011·一中月考Dear Sally,Now I’d like to tell you something about my part-time job in this1.________summer vacation,in which I worked like a guide in a travel agency.2.________The work was

句意:一些青少年没意识到的是他们染上毒瘾后生活有多么艰难。

“________some teenagers don’t realize”为主语从句,该从句中缺少主语且表“事物”,故第一空填what,排除C、D两项;“________difficult life can be after they get addicted to drugs.”为表语从句,该从句中life作主语,difficult作表语,设空处后为形容词,故用how引导。

如选A项,表语从句应改为...what a difficult life they can live/have after...。

答案:BⅡ.阅读理解A(2010·福建省厦门市质检)Kids in a Sudanese refugee(难民) camp stir up acloud of dust as they kick around a football.NBAsuperstar Tracy McGrady watches from a distance beforeoffering to buy the kids a grass pitch for 1,000.Perhaps he sees a Ronaldinho rising up out of the African soil.Or maybe he just wants to do something—anything—to give these children some hope.But he is told,politely,that grass is not what the kids need.This scene appears in 3 Point,a new documentary,which shows the Houston Rockets star coming face­to­face with the reality that life is more than sport.McGrady,29,writes on his website that he traveled to Africa because he was tired of only reading about it in news.“Who were the faces behind the statistics?”He said. “I needed to see it for mysel f.”And he did.He stepped out of his large house and flew to a place torn to bits by war and famine.He slept in a tent.He kept away from minefields.He talked with people who have been suffering.And he swallowed his pride.But no one should blame McGrady for wanting to buy the kids a pitch of grass.Sport gave him a chance,so perhaps he thought it would do the same for the refugees.McGrady was eyed by NBA managers as a teenager and he didn't bother going to college.Instead,he leaped right into the NBA.Since that move,basketball has given him a handsome living,but one very far removed from the lives of ordinary people.As McGrady would learn in Africa,most people see sports as just a break from life's difficulties.They don't mistake it for life itself.Only McGrady knows how this Africa trip changed him,but I'd bet that,at the very least,it has given him a new sense for what is truly meaningful.McGrady doesn't own an NBA championship ring.He hasn't risen to the heightsof Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan.But,perhaps,now he knows he doesn't have to in order to truly make a difference in the world.1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.While in Africa,McGrady behaved considerately.B.The trip to Africa has changed McGrady's life totally.C.McGrady should be blamed for wanting to buy kids grass.D.McGrady suffered as much as the African kids in his childhood.解析:考查具体细节。

根据文章第一段可知A项正确。

B项错在change his life totally;C项错在should be blamed;文中并没说他童年的不幸遭遇,故D 项错误。

答案:A2.What does the underlined word “eyed” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?A.Witnessed. B.Selected.C.Examined. D.Researched.解析:考查词义猜测。

根据原文,麦克格雷迪在少年时就被NBA负责人(eye)选中,因此他并没上大学,而是直接跃入NBA。
