When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other — but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen. We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back — he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words. 4. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first? A. Paul Newman wanted it. B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent. C. He wasn’t famous enough. D. The director recommended someone else. 5. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship? A. They were of the same age. B. They worked in the same theater. C. They were both good actors. D. They han similar charactertics. 6. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Their belief. B. Their care for children. C. Their success. D. Their support for each other. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show his love of films. B. To remember a friend. C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share his acting experience. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者与Paul Newman之间的深厚友情。当制片人不想让我参演电影时，Paul Newman站出来为我说话，两人因此而建立了深厚的友谊。在此后的很多年里，两人一直相互扶持，相互鼓励，因此两人的深厚友情维系了很多年。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul”制片人不想要我，他想要当时比较出名的演员Paul,因此，可知作者当时还不是很有名。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen”可知，作者与Paul之间有着相似的性格特征，这让他们的友谊天长地久。故选D。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back”，我们都有这个信仰：如果你有幸获得成功，你应该有所回馈。下文“he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival”是作者举的例子，因此“sharing that brought us together.”that指代前面提到的信仰。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it”可知Paul已经去世了，再结合前文“I first met Paul Newman in 1968”，可推断作者写文章是为了怀念这位朋友。故选B。 【点睛】在完成推理题时，要特别注意排除干扰项。 如小题1中的A项“Paul Newman wanted it.”属于“颠倒黑白”类干扰项，根据“When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul”可知制片人不想要我，他想要当时比较出名的演员Paul，说明A项明显错误。 干扰项的设置方法除了“颠倒黑白”之外，通常还有以下几种方式： 1. 张冠李戴。命题者把文章作者的观点与他人的观点混淆起来，题干问的是作者的观点，选项中出现的却是他人的观点；或者题干问的是他人的观点，却把作者的观点放到选项中去。 2. 偷梁换柱。干扰项用了与原文相似的句型结构和大部分相似的词汇，却在不易引人注意的地方换了几个词汇，造成句意的改变。 3. 无中生有。干扰项往往是生活的基本常识和普遍接受的观点，但在原文中并无相关的信息支持点，这种选项的设置往往与问题的设问毫不相干。 4. 以偏概全。考生在做猜测文章中心思想、给文章添加标题或判断推理题时，往往会犯以偏概全的错误。产生这类错误的原因是考生受思维定势的影响或考虑不周，以局部代替整体。其具体表现为合理关联与不合理关联、准确概括与不准确概括之间的错位。不合理关联就是表层理解与深层理解相混淆。表层理解是对文章中客观事实的感知和记忆，往往是文章直接表述的结论；深层理解则是对文章中的客观事实进行逻辑推理、总结或概括后得出的结论。不准确概括是指不能准确地按题目要求概括或提取文中的表层或深层信息。 C Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely leading to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem. Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass. Like running, race walking is physically tough, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is about twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about1,000 or more calories per hour. However, race walking does not beat on the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step. As a result, she says, some of the injuries related to running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first turn to a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice. 8. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes? A. They must run long distances. B. They are qualified for the marathon. C. They have to follow specific rules. D. They are good at swinging their legs. 9. What advantage does race walking have over running? A. It’s more popular at the Olympics. B. It’s less challenging physically. C. It’s more effective in body building. D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries. 10. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking? A. Getting experts’ opinions. B. Having a medical checkup. C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Doing regular exercises. 11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking? A. Doubtful B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Concerned. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍竞走的运动规则、与跑步相比的优劣，以及运动注意事项，客观展现了这项运动的特点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.(但是这项运动的规则要求竞走者在摆腿的大部分过程中膝盖保持伸直，并且一只脚始终与地面保持接触。)”可知，竞走必须遵守特殊的专门规则，因此竞走者是受过专业训练的运动员。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“As a result, she says, some of the injuries related to running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers.(因此，她说，一些与跑步相关的损伤，比如跑步膝，在竞走者中并不常见。)”可知，和跑步相比，竞走更不容易造成膝盖受伤。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first turn to a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says.(她说，事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该先向教练或有经验的选手学习正确的技术。)”可知，诺伯格博士建议想尝试竞走的人要听取专业人士的意见。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely leading to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.(研究表明，竞走和跑步一样有许多健身益处，同时造成的损伤可能更少。然而，它也有自己的问题。)”以及下文介绍的竞走的运动规则和与跑步相比的优劣可知，文章既客观介绍了竞走的优势，也如实指出了它存在的问题，全文只是陈述事实，不带有偏向性的赞扬或批评，因此作者对竞走的态度是客观的。故选B项。 D The search for beauty spans centuries. Paintings of Egyptians dating back to 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance. There is at least one good reason for the desire (渴望) to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier. But what exactly is beauty? It’s difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones. The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists (心理学家) , men show a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously (无意识地) tells men and women that these features — the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders — equal health and genetic well-being. Not everyone thinks the same way. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin, but is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists’ answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and changes around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures. For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical features considered universally attractive, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder (观看者). 12. People’s ideas about beauty ________. A. can be easily described B. are based upon strict standard C. have existed since ancient times D. have little influence on a person’s success 13. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study ________. A. were rated for their appearance B. showed a preference for women with larger eyes C. were shown photos of a group of college students D. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones 14. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. the ideas of beauty change as people grow up B. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches C. the search for beauty is the power to inspire the beholder D. the understanding of beauty is rooted in cultural backgrounds 15. What can probably be the best title for this passage? A. The History of Beauty B. The Mystery of Beauty C. The Standards for Beauty D. The Attitudes toward Beauty 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人类对美的追求由来已久，探讨了美的普遍性判断与文化差异，说明美没有统一标准。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The search for beauty spans centuries. Paintings of Egyptians dating back to 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup.(对美的追求跨越了数个世纪。追溯到4000年前的埃及画作显示，男女都会涂指甲、化妆。)”可知，人类对美的看法从古时候就已经存在了。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.(在研究中，婴儿注视有吸引力面孔的时间比没有吸引力的面孔更长。)”可知，研究中的婴儿能够区分有吸引力和没有吸引力的面孔。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another.(在一种文化中被认为有吸引力的事物，在另一种文化中可能并非如此。)”可知，人们对美的理解根植于不同的文化背景之中。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical features considered universally attractive, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard.(但很难准确描述是什么让一个人对另一个人有吸引力。尽管某些身体特征似乎被普遍认为有吸引力，但美并不总是遵循单一统一的标准。)”可知，文章围绕“美”展开，探讨了美的起源、本能判断、文化差异与标准不一，揭示了美的神秘之处，因此“美的奥秘”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Study for a Test or Final The end of the term is drawing near, and that means final exams are on the way. ____16____ The most important thing you can do is give yourself plenty of time to prepare.

Since our house is big, we rent some rooms to the patients. One evening, a truly ugly old man came. Extremely politely, he said, “Good evening. I’m wondering if you have a room for just one night. I came for treatment from the eastern shore (海岸), and there’s no bus till the morning.” He told me he’d been searching for a room since noon, but failed because of his face. For a moment, I hesitated (犹豫), not only because there was no room left. But his following words convinced (说服了) me: “I could sleep on the floor. I’ll leave early in the morning.” By chatting with him, I knew he fished for a living to support a big family. But what touched me most was that instead of complaining, he was grateful that his disease didn’t bring him terrible pain. At bedtime, we put a bed in the children’s room for him. The next morning, he got up early and asked if he could come again. I told him he would be welcome. 46. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项. ignore accept agree strong sleep hard change welcome polite complaint move ask An ugly old man came to my house and ________ for a room to stay for a night.

Extremely politely, he said, “Good evening. I’m wondering if you have a room for just one night. I came for treatment from the eastern shore (海岸), and there’s no bus till the morning.” (一天晚上，一个非常丑陋的老人来了。他彬彬有礼地说：“晚上好。我不知道你们是否有一晚的房间。我从东海岸来治疗，早上才会有公交车。”)”可知这位老人正在找住的地方，所以空1考查ask for，描述过去的事情，ask用一般过去时； 空2表明老人很礼貌，修饰动词spoke，用副词politely；根据第三段“For a moment, I hesitated (犹豫), not only because there was no room left. But his following words convinced (说服了) me: “I could sleep on the floor. I’ll leave early in the morning.” (我犹豫了一会儿，不仅因为没有地方了。但他接下来的话说服了我：“我可以睡在地板上。我明天一大早就走。”)”可知空3为接受，接在want后，用不定式作宾语，所以是to accept，空4为改变，为动词change，描述过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以是changed，空5为动词同意，为动词agree，描述过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以是agreed；根据第四段“By chatting with him, I knew he fished for a living to support a big family. But what touched me most was that instead of complaining, he was grateful that his disease didn’t bring him terrible pain. (通过和他的聊天，我知道他以捕鱼为生来养活一个大家庭。但最让我感动的是，他没有抱怨，而是感激他的病没有给他带来可怕的痛苦。)”可知空6为困难的，用形容词hard，空7为抱怨，应用动词complain，描述过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以是complained，空8为感动，应用动词move，应用一般过去时，并且主语和谓语是被动关系，用被动语态，所以是was moved；根据最后一段“At bedtime, we put a bed in the children’s room for him. The next morning, he got up early and asked if he could come again. I told him he would be welcome. (睡觉的时候，我们在孩子的房间里给他放了一张床。第二天早上，他起得很早，问能不能再来。我告诉他欢迎他。)”可知空9为睡觉，为动词sleep，描述过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以是slept，空10为欢迎，应用名词作宾，所以是welcome；故填asked；politely；to accept；changed；agreed；hard；complained；was moved；slept；welcome。 【47题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第二段“Extremely politely, he said, “Good evening. I’m wondering if you have a room for just one night. I came for treatment from the eastern shore (海岸), and there’s no bus till the morning.” (他彬彬有礼地说：“晚上好。我不知道你们是否有一晚的房间。我从东海岸来治疗，早上才会有公交车。”)”和第四段“By chatting with him, I knew he fished for a living to support a big family. But what touched me most was that instead of complaining, he was grateful that his disease didn’t bring him terrible pain. (通过和他的聊天，我知道他以捕鱼为生来养活一个大家庭。但最让我感动的是，他没有抱怨，而是感激他的病没有给他带来可怕的痛苦。)” 可知这个老人是负责的，努力的，积极的，感恩的，故填He is responsible /hardworking, positive and grateful/thankful. 【48题详解】 考查推理判断。根据最后一段“The next morning, he got up early and asked if he could come again. I told him he would be welcome. (第二天早上，他起得很早，问能不能再来。我告诉他欢迎他。)”可知有两种可能性，一种是老人认为作者很善良，也真诚地欢迎他来，另一种是老人认为作者太善良，不好意思来再次打扰，故填Yes, he will. Because he thinks the writer is very kind and will sincerely welcome him./No, he won’t. Because he thinks the writer is so kind that he can’t bother the writer anymore. 【49题详解】 考查推理判断。通读全文，可知作者被老人的积极乐观所感动，所以作者认为认识老人是幸运的，开心的或者受到鼓舞的，因为她从老人身上学到了感恩和积极乐观的态度，故填She may feel lucky/happy/inspired to know him, because she learned how to be thankful/grateful and positive from him. 第五部分 写作（满分20分） 50. 新学期开始后，你已经了解了一些高中生活和学习的情况。请根据下面提示，写一篇英语短文，介绍你就读的学校及学校里的生活和学习。 内容包括： 1.校园、教室、操场等设施； 2.主要的学习课程； 3.个人感受和感想等。 要求： 1.词数80左右； 2.可以适当地增添细节以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 This term, I’m studying in a new high school with the most beautiful campus in our city.

When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other — but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen. We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back — he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words. 4. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first? A. Paul Newman wanted it. B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent. C. He wasn’t famous enough. D. The director recommended someone else. 5. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship? A. They were of the same age. B. They worked in the same theater. C. They were both good actors. D. They han similar charactertics. 6. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Their belief. B. Their care for children. C. Their success. D. Their support for each other. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show his love of films. B. To remember a friend. C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share his acting experience. C Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely leading to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem. Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass. Like running, race walking is physically tough, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is about twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about1,000 or more calories per hour. However, race walking does not beat on the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step. As a result, she says, some of the injuries related to running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first turn to a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice. 8. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes? A. They must run long distances. B. They are qualified for the marathon. C. They have to follow specific rules. D. They are good at swinging their legs. 9. What advantage does race walking have over running? A. It’s more popular at the Olympics. B. It’s less challenging physically. C. It’s more effective in body building. D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries. 10. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking? A. Getting experts’ opinions. B. Having a medical checkup. C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Doing regular exercises. 11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking? A. Doubtful B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Concerned. D The search for beauty spans centuries. Paintings of Egyptians dating back to 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance. There is at least one good reason for the desire (渴望) to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier. But what exactly is beauty? It’s difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones. The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists (心理学家) , men show a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously (无意识地) tells men and women that these features — the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders — equal health and genetic well-being. Not everyone thinks the same way. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin, but is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists’ answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and changes around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures. For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical features considered universally attractive, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder (观看者). 12. People’s ideas about beauty ________. A. can be easily described B. are based upon strict standard C. have existed since ancient times D. have little influence on a person’s success 13. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study ________. A. were rated for their appearance B. showed a preference for women with larger eyes C. were shown photos of a group of college students D. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones 14. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. the ideas of beauty change as people grow up B. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches C. the search for beauty is the power to inspire the beholder D. the understanding of beauty is rooted in cultural backgrounds 15. What can probably be the best title for this passage? A. The History of Beauty B. The Mystery of Beauty C. The Standards for Beauty D. The Attitudes toward Beauty 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Study for a Test or Final The end of the term is drawing near, and that means final exams are on the way. ____16____ The most important thing you can do is give yourself plenty of time to prepare.

Since our house is big, we rent some rooms to the patients. One evening, a truly ugly old man came. Extremely politely, he said, “Good evening. I’m wondering if you have a room for just one night. I came for treatment from the eastern shore (海岸), and there’s no bus till the morning.” He told me he’d been searching for a room since noon, but failed because of his face. For a moment, I hesitated (犹豫), not only because there was no room left. But his following words convinced (说服了) me: “I could sleep on the floor. I’ll leave early in the morning.” By chatting with him, I knew he fished for a living to support a big family. But what touched me most was that instead of complaining, he was grateful that his disease didn’t bring him terrible pain. At bedtime, we put a bed in the children’s room for him. The next morning, he got up early and asked if he could come again. I told him he would be welcome. 46. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项. ignore accept agree strong sleep hard change welcome polite complaint move ask An ugly old man came to my house and ________ for a room to stay for a night.
