第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
My father died in December. He had spent the last several years in hospital, and my mother spent a lot of her time 41 him. That is without doubt, a 42 situation for any family. And the 43 was a team of fairly frustrated family members.
My biggest frustration was trying to 44 why he didn’t make choices that would 45 him to be involved more fully in the lives of his grandchildren. Yet he 46 each and every one of them. Every morning he asked my mother which of his grandbabies was going to 47 that day. He had frequent visits from his collection of loving grandkids. Kids would have the place 48 up instantly—toys everywhere, cushions off the couches and the TV channel 49 to their station. Every visit was a kid invasion into his space. Interestingly, he was not at all bothered by the _50 or chaos at all. He was never 51 with them and he certainly never shouted at any child. Visits ended with 52 and kisses.
I felt that relationship wasn’t good enough because he didn’t actually do anything 53 my children. My dad didn’t read to the children, and certainly 54 played a board game or did a puzzle with them. He didn’t take them out for 55 or do any of the other things I saw active grandparents doing with their grandchildren. It made me sad that he was 56 to get on with the kids.
A couple of weeks after his death, my 9-year-old daughter turned up in my bedroom at midnight to share a
57 of him done by herself. Included in the picture were several messages and 58 —one for each day since he had died. The most striking one to me was“I loved EVERYTHING about you, Grandpa”.
Apparently, I was 59 . All that time I thought he wasn’t doing anything with his grandchildren, but he was very actively doing the thing that was most _60 to them. He loved them. And it was all they needed.
41. A. preparing for B. taking care of C. believing in D. looking forward to

Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.
On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.
I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.
“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly.
“No,” I said.
“We are going to volunteer at a children’s shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit
you,” she explained.
When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldn’t stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.
As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi. You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reach ed up and held mine, as if to comfort me.
My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I strive to instill (逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.

A study shows that nearly ninety percent of teens report that they have tried alcohol. That’s an increase of 23 percent in just four years!
Each year, 1.1 billion cans of beer are drunk by students aged 15-19 years old. Beer is the most common alcoholic drink among teens—81 percent of the drinkers had tried it. Beer is followed by wine with 63 percent, hard liquor(烈酒) with 53 percent and wine coolers with 35 percent.
When the young people are asked why they drank, the most common answer is that drinking is “something to do”. If a teen’s parents drink alcohol, the teenager is more likely to start drinking at an early age. Also, tens see all of their friends drinking alcohol so they think it is the must-to-do thing. Peer pressure is probably the hardest thing teens have to deal with. What’s more, teens often drink alcohol because it makes them feel older and cooler.
Researchers asked 56,000 students about their drinking habits and grades, to see how drinking might affect their grades in school. The results seem to be clear. Students who got a C level or lower tend to use three times as much alcohol as those who got B’s or A’s.
Alcohol use can be deadly. About 8,100 young people are killed per year in alcohol-related accidents. Eight young people die per day as a result of a drunk-driving accident. Between 50 and 65 percent of all teen suicides (自杀) occur after the young people drink.
So you see, drinking the alcohol doesn’t always end up with a good time. The next time you try to push someone to drink or someone tries to push you to drink, please remember this. One drink can set the habit for life. Why not throw it away?
68. The reasons for teens’ drinking alcohol are mentioned EXCEPT that _______________.
A. they think it is cool to drink alcohol
B. their parents set a bad example to them
C. alcohol can make them happier
D. peer pressure plays an important role
69. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Drinking alcohol makes students stupid.
B. Good students never try alcohol.
C. Drinking habits have something to do with IQ.
D. Students with poor grades tend to use more alcohol.
70. The passage was written mainly to ______________________.
A. show the bad effect of drinking alcohol
B. show how many teenagers drink alcohol
C. tell teenagers not to try alcohol
D. tell the reasons why teenagers drink alcohol.
D
As I was busy working on my work plan in my bedroom, I could hear my four children playing upstairs. Suddenly, I heard the children running down the stairs and shouting, “Freddie, Freddie.”I heard the word “window” and rushed outside, heart in mouth. My three-year old son Freddie was lying on his side on the ground.
I cried for my husband Simon to dial 999 and within minutes the air ambulance arrived. They quickly took him in the helicopter. During the flight, Freddie was looking at me and I remember thinking was a good sign, but then his eyes began to roll. As the doctors tried to stabilize(稳定) him, I couldn’t believe what was happening.
When we arrived at the hospital in Portsmouth, there were some doctors and nurses waiting for us and they immediately set to work on Freddie. I was hopelessly wishing everything would be alright, but Freddie had broken his skull in two places and blood clots were forming in his brain. He needed surgery(外科手术), and only a surgeon at another hospital in Bristol could do it. This meant another helicopter ride, but we couldn’t go with Freddie because there was no enough space. Simon and I drove the long 130 miles from our home in north Devon in silence. Neither of us dared say what we were thinking, “What if we get there and he’s dead?”“Is he going to be brain-damaged?”
Freddie was just coming out of surgery when we arrived. The surgeon said it had gone well. When I finally saw him, I hardly recognize my child—he was covered in tubes and there were wires coming out of his head.
On the third day, Simon went home to see our three girls and to pick up some clean clothes for us. While he was gone, the pressure in Freddie’s brain suddenly increased. He was taken into theater again and this time I fell apart. Luckily, the surgery managed to stabilize Freddie. After almost a week, Freddie was finally woken up. When he opened his eyes, he looked at me. He didn’t say anything, but I knew straight away that it was my old Freddie, and that he was going to be alright. Over the next two weeks, his recovery went well. After help with learning to swallow again and encouragement with speaking, he was soon playing with his Gruffalo cards and eating meals by himself.
I still don’t know how the accident happened, but we got some idea from our girls. Clearly Freddie and Minnie had been sitting on the window ledge, and Freddie must have opened it to look out and fallen 20 feet onto the ground below.
The guilt I feel is awful—for weeks I was full of “if onlys”, and we put window locks everywhere. Six months later, although the accident seems a lifetime ago, it has changed me. I feel differently about life now. I’ve left my job to put my children first. I want to spend every minute with them.
71. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 shows the author was ______________.
A. hopeless
B. worried
C. curious
D. puzzled
72. Why did the author’s son have to be moved to another hospital in Bristol?
A. Because no surgeons were on duty in the first hospital that day.
B. Because the author wanted his son to stay in a hospital nearer her home.
C. Because no surgeons in the first hospital knew the injuries to the author’s son.
D. Because no surgeons in the first hospital could do surgery on the author’s son.
73. When the author finally saw her son, she could hardly recognize him probably because his
face_____________.
A. was seriously injured
B. was filled with small pipes
C. was too pale to be recognized
D. was covered by a piece of cloth
74. On the third day after being taken to the hospital, _____________.
A. the author’s son finally opened his eyes.
B. the situation of the author’s son suddenly worsened
C. the author’s son was finally out of danger
D. the author’s son did not need any more surgery
75. After the accident, what did the author probably learn?
A. Life is full of “if onlys”.
B. Being a single mother is not easy.
C. Children are more important than work.
D. Accidents can happen to every kid.

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

The concept of homeschooling is not a new one. Homeschooling means educating children at home instead of sending them to public or private schools. Nowadays, homeschooling has become popular in many countries for a variety of reasons. One of them is poor quality of education in public schools and it’s also because private schools are quite expensive. Some parents believe that because they know their child’s strengths and weaknesses, they can teach him or her better. Some parents prefer homeschooling so as to prevent their children from getting into bad company. There is another group of people who choose to educate their children at home because they want them to learn spirit and values of the family and also their religious beliefs. They also think that homeschooling would help in development of strong family bonds(家庭纽带).
However, there are some negative effects of homeschooling on students as well as parents.
Homeschooling is a full-time job and not fit for parents who have their own careers. It takes a lot of time for parents’ side to make homeschooling a success. Other family members’ responsibilities may also be affected. They may give their full attention to the needs of their children. Besides, a parent may have high educational qualifications, but that does not make him or her a good teacher. Teaching is an art, which requires the ability to understand the needs of the children. It is likely that the parent might have forgotten what he or she has learned, and the curriculum(课程) of the children would also be different. This would make it difficult for the parents to explain the concepts to their children. Parents also have the responsibility of designing the curriculum of students.
In today’s world, competition(比赛) is seen in every field, and school prepares children to face these competitions. However, homeschooling does not give the children a chance to compare with other kids. They will also not be aware of where they stand in educational position among their classmates. This may affect their future lives. Education is not the only thing that the children need to become successful human beings. It is necessary that they learn to communicate in the society, and public school provides them with such an environment, where they meet many people. Schools also provide children with a chance to take part in various activities to improve their overall development.
It is true that it has many benefits, but one must realize that school teaches children skills to face and survive.
