VI.阅读理解  My name is Destiny, working at a Psychological Counselling Center. In my teens, there was nothing special about me. My older sister, Anita, is beautiful. My younger brother, Tye, is a talent at the age of 13. He completely skipped sixth grade. How do I compete with that? My mom and I were home alone one day. I went into the room where she was watching television and I blurted out (脱口而出), "Mom, is there anything special about me?" She thought about it for a moment and then turned down the TV. She took a deep breath, took my hand and exhaled (呼气). "You have the ability to say just the right thing at just the right time." "Really? Words?" I tried to keep my voice steady but I could hear the anger even as I fought to control it. " It's more than words, Destiny," my mom said. I know my mother meant well but I felt worse than ever. I burst into tears. The next day is when my whole life changed. I went to school earlier than before and noticed Darwin sitting across the room, which was strange because no one ever noticed Darwin. Suddenly, Darwin stood up and threw away all his books, shouting loudly. I could hear screaming and crying but the sounds seemed distant as I focused my full attention on Darwin, six feet in front of me. I felt the words swell up in me. "Darwin," I heard myself say with a calm, steady voice. "I have family and friends with so much talent and potential and I have none. There is nothing special about me." From the corner of my eye, I could see others staring at me in silence. I continued talking. "You are so smart. You can answer questions that the teacher hasn't even asked yet. Do you know that everyone in this class is envious of you?" Hearing my words, he calmed down and gave me a big hug. Then the teacher came. Learning about what happened, the teacher smiled, "That was a great job, you did, young lady. Superman could not have done a better job than you did here today." I couldn't believe that she compared me to Superman. I work at a Psychological Counselling Center now. There is a cork board over my desk filled with thank-you cards and letters from people who say they owe their lives, careers, or their families to my words. But to me, they are more than words. They are my super power! 1.Why does the author mention her sister and brother? A. She is envious of them. B. She feels really proud of them. C. She wants to show family love. D. She considers competing with them. 2.What is the author's reaction to her mother's words in paragraph 6? A. She said more words to her mother. B. She could hardly believe her mother. C. She understood her mother's white lie. D. She had doubt about her mother's love. 3.What do we know about Darwin from the text? A. He quarreled with his classmates. B. He lacked great talent and potential. C. He failed again in the examination. D. He suddenly lost control for some reason. 4.Which is a suitable title for the text? A. A Brave Superman B. The Power of Words C. A Strange Classmate D. The Future of a Career II. 完形填空  In a restaurant, I met a young man.

My younger brother, Tye, is a talent at the age of 13."提到姐姐很漂亮，弟弟是个天才。由此可得知，作者提到姐姐和弟弟是将没有什么特别之处的自己与他们进行对比，表达自己的羡慕之情，故选A项。 2.B 考查细节理解。根据第六段中的"I tried to keep my voice steady but I could hear the anger even as I fought to control it."以及"I know my mother meant well but I felt worse than ever. I burst into tears."可知，作者对母亲的话感到愤怒和伤心，几乎不敢相信母亲的话，故选B项。 3.D 考查推理判断。根据第七段中的"Suddenly, Darwin stood up and threw away all his books, shouting loudly."可知，Darwin突然情绪失控，扔掉所有的书并大声喊叫，故选D项。 4.B 考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者如何通过语言的力量帮助同学，以及后来在工作中如何通过语言帮助更多的人，因此"语言的力量"是最合适的标题，故选B项。 完形填空 1.A 考查形容词辨析。根据上文可知，那位男士一直在抱怨自己的工作，但当他被问到为什么不辞职时，他说"You know the situation is improving."，实际上，那位男士的工作并没有他说的那么"糟糕"，故选A项。 2.B 考查动词辨析。此处是指上文中的那位男士让作者"想起"Arthur Ashe，remind sb. of sth. 为固定搭配，意为"使某人想起某事"，故选B项。 3.B 考查名词辨析。根据语境，Arthur Ashe因输血感染艾滋病，他的粉丝们对此表示"关心"并指责医院，故选B项。 4.D 考查动词辨析。根据上下文，Arthur Ashe说"I would not ______"，结合文章主题"不抱怨"，可知此处应填"complain"，故选D项。 5.A 考查形容词辨析。根据上文可知，那位男士一直在抱怨自己的工作，但当他被问到为什么不辞职时，他说"You know the situation is improving."，实际上，那位男士的工作并没有他说的那么"糟糕"，故选A项。 6.B 考查动词辨析。此处是指上文中的那位男士让作者"想起"Arthur Ashe，remind sb. of sth. 为固定搭配，意为"使某人想起某事"，故选B项。 7.B 考查名词辨析。根据语境，Arthur Ashe因输血感染艾滋病，他的粉丝们对此表示"关心"并指责医院，故选B项。 8.D 考查动词辨析。根据上下文，Arthur Ashe说"I would not ______"，结合文章主题"不抱怨"，可知此处应填"complain"，故选D项。 9.C 考查动词短语。根据下文中的“I have no choice...when the day comes.”可知，此处是指有些事情无法“逃避”。故选 C。 10.B 考查动词。根据上文中的“...but I would not 8 because I know there is something we cannot...”可知，Arthur Ashe 表示，有些事情是无法逃避的，而是应该去面对。故选 B。 C 11.考查名词。根据上文中 Arthur Ashe 说的话可知，面对疾病，他没有抱怨，而是选择面对。由此可知，此处是指 Arthur Ashe 面对问题的“冷静”。故选 C。 12.A 考查名词。根据 complain 和 and troubles 可知，空处应与 trouble 的情感色彩一致，而且根据常理可知，人在遇到“困难”和麻烦时会抱怨。故选 A。 13.B 考查动词。根据上文中的“dissatisfaction goes away”可知，此处应与上文列举的情况保持一致，表示悲伤的“消失”。故选 B。 14.D 考查形容词。根据下文“...it confuses our minds and then drops us deeper and deeper in the mud.”可知，抱怨会混淆我们的思想，然后让我们在泥潭中越陷越深，所以此处指抱怨具有误导性。故选 D。 15.D 考查名词。根据“from 'ignorant' to 'mature'”可知，此处是指生活像是一个从无知到成熟的变化过程。故选 D。 技巧点拨 利用固定搭配解完形填空题 完形填空有时会考查一些固定结构或固定句式，熟练掌握它们后，完形填空会好做很多。比如：第 3 小题考查固定短语 be unhappy with...，“对……不满意”；第 6 小题考查固定短语 remind sb of...“使某人想起……” 词汇积累 名词: blood transfusion n. 输血 dissatisfaction n. 不满 maturity n. 成熟 动词: catch v. 抓住；把握；感染（疾病） improve v. 改善；改进 形容词: unjust adj. 不公平的 motivational adj. 有动力的 固定结构: happen to 遭到；遇到 be worth doing 值得做 a mass of 一团 run away from 逃离，逃避 长难句分析 The complaint is so misleading (that it confuses our minds and then drops us deeper and deeper in the mud). 句意: 抱怨是如此具有误导性，以至于它会混淆我们的思想，然后让我们在泥潭中越陷越深。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
