Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2015·湖北省黄石市示范三校元月联考) Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance. I have forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it stays in my memory, for she taught me a lesson of forgiveness that I shall never forget.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the leaning roof of the old lady's house from a spot near her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the roof's edge and shot out into the yard. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone, however, slipped from my hand and headed straight for a small window on the old lady's back porch. At the sound of fractured glass, we knew we were in trouble. We ran as fast as possible.
I was too scared about getting caught to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence.
I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and after three weeks I had the seven dollars that I
thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost.
I put the letter through the letter slot in her door. My soul felt redeemed and I could have the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old lady's kind eyes. The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. She gave me a bag of cookies. I thanked her and felt an envelope in it.When I opened the envelope, inside it were the seven dollars and a short note reading, “I'm proud of you.”

答案与解析
这是一篇记叙文。

作者讲述了发生在圣诞节的故事：为了参加妹妹的毕业典礼，作者在圣诞节将自己快递给妹妹，给了她一个惊喜。

1．A作者忙于学业而不能去参加妹妹的毕业典礼，妹妹肯定会觉得失望(disappointed)。

2．C作者说会错过妹妹的毕业典礼。

miss “错过”，符合语境。

3．B根据空前的“notorious(声名狼藉的)”可知，这里表示院方从来不愿意让学生请假，故用deny 表示“拒绝，不允许”。

4．D尽管如此，作者还是决定去试试，或许院方会因为圣诞节而准许作者请假。

这里说的是作者的想法，因此选D项，表示作者抱着一线希望。

5．C结果，院方出乎意料地给作者批了假期，因此这里表示唯一的“解释”。

6．B这里用strike 与heart 呼应，表示圣诞精神深入她的心了。

7．A学院对于批假从来都很吝啬，这次却例外地批准了，这真是令人难以置信的好消息，因此选A项，表示“极好的”。

8．D从下文的“surprise her”可判断，应选D项，表示就在作者准备给妹妹打电话告诉她这个好消息的时候，作者停了下来。

9．B这里说的是作者想象的画面，因此选B项，表示“想象，设想”。

10．C前面的“showing up, knocking at her door”表明，本题应选C项，表示“到达，到来”。

11．A作者的到来一定会是给妹妹的最好的圣诞礼物。

这里用presence 与后面的arrival 呼应。

12．D这里用point out “指出，指明”表示对方指出拒绝作者请求的原因。

13．C圣诞节是快递业最忙碌的时候，他不可能专门安排一名快递员来满足作者的请求。

这里用spare 表示“抽出，拨出”。

14．C作者被装在箱子里，因此看不到妹妹开门时的表情，但是(but)从她的声音作者能听出她很困惑。

15．B参见上题解析。

confused “困惑的”，符合语境。

16．C be lost for words 表示“语塞了，不知道说什么”，
为固定搭配，故选C项。

17．A把一个大活人装在快递箱子里当作礼物送到妹妹的门口，这可谓是“独一无二的”礼物了。

故选A项。

18．B这是一件已经发生的事，因此选B项，表示“回忆”。

19．A这件事也提醒作者，永远不要低估圣诞精神的力量。

reminder “起提醒作用的东西”，符合语境。

20．A根据本文的最后一句可知，圣诞精神的力量不可低估。

因此选A项。
