二、完形填空先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出

可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）“Mr Mazzella, what is the difference between a period (句号) and a comma (逗号)?” I was a young substitute teacher (代课老师) in a middle school English class. The regular teacher had called in sick and left a lesson plan going over the rules of 15 . I hated these rules and hardly understood them myself, even though I was a writer. The English language is one of the most 16 subjects in the world. As I looked at the textbook, I knew that even if I told this student all the different 17 about commas, he wouldn’t remember them.

I was also in no mood for a long lesson. My mom had died just a few short weeks ago. I missed her so much. I wandered (徘徊) around feeling half 18 inside. All I wanted to do was to stay in bed, but my young family was struggling to get by and I knew I had to take every day of work I could. I looked at the textbook again but couldn’t 19 it because my eyes were so watery. All at once, however, I remembered the rule of thumb (经验法则) I used whenever I was writing something.” A period is the end of a sentence or a thought.” I said. “a comma, on the other hand, is just a brief pause (暂停) before the sentence continues on.” When I finished saying this, my heart suddenly felt 20 . I smiled and thought of my mom continuing on in a place much brighter and happier than ____21 I was in now.

That little moment of light helped me as I continued to miss my mom over the months and years to come. Recently, I remembered it once again when I saw this quote (引用) in a book I was reading: Death is not a(n) 22 , only a comma.”

Our lives are a sentence and a 23 that goes forever. Our 24 here is only a part of it. Our death here is only a comma. Write your story with love.

15. A. spelling B. pronunciation C. grammar D. classroom

16. A. difficult B. interesting C. important D. popular

17. A. forms B. roles C. examples D. rules

18. A. alive B. touched C. awake D. dead

19. A. read B. see C. carry D. find

20. A. emptier B. colder C. heavier D. lighter

21. A. how B. where C. which D. who

22. A. period B. end C. loss D. result

23. A. song B. circle C. game D. story

24. A. time B. trip C. vacation D. visit
