D.advised【答案与解析】本文主要讲我们即便身处劣境，也不要气馁，而应保持积极的心态，努力进取。同时作者也希望人们能给那些表现不很出色的人多一些鼓励。36.B。前句说“我〞在学校表现不好，故此处用useless表示校长认为“我〞是一个“无用〞的人。37.A。anythingbut是习语，意为“决不〞“根本不〞，与其前的否认词never构成双重否认，表示强调的肯定，即校长认为我肯定是一个失败的人。38.B。从下文来看，情况一直都不好，故用poor。39.D。对“我〞这样一个境况如此糟糕的人来说，能与averynicemiddle-classgirl谈恋爱，当然是一件最好的事了。40.B。此处指作者下决心(decide)要做一些积极的事情以改变自己的境况。41.C。此处指作者要向其女朋友证明不像别人所说的那样不行。42.A。指作者想证明，人们认为他不行的看法是错误的(wrong)。43.D。Let’sfaceit意为“咱们面对现实吧〞。44.C。根据下一句提到的myfirstnovel可知此处应填空C。45.C。comeout在此指“出版〞。46.A。与下文的eveningclass相对，处指用duringtheday。47.C。getadegree指获得学位。degree意为“学位〞。48.D。此处指作者想辞掉工作做一个专职作家，故用giveup。49.C。指就在那时作者得到了一份在大学兼职的工作，when意为“就在那时〞。50.B。此处here表示一种自豪的心态。51.A。leaveschool指“退学〞。52.D。下文中说作者出现在电视上，并且与rich并列，因此填famous。53.B。but表转折，即有钱和有名又能意味什么呢?54.A。/55.B。此句的意思是：“我〞只是想，要是那些曾经瞧不起我的人能说“我想信你，你会成功的〞该是多好啊。2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·北京卷DearLaura,Ijustheardyoutellanoldstoryofgiftgivingandunselfishloveinyourprogram.Youdoubtedthatsuchunselfishlovewouldhappenintoday’sworld.Well,I’mheretogiveyou___36___.Iwantedtodosomethingvery___37___formyfifteen-year-oldson,whohasalwaysbeentheperfectchild.He___38___allsummertoearnenoughmoneytobuyausedmotorcycle.Then,hespenthoursandhoursonit___39___itlookedalmostnew.Iwasso___40___ofhimthatIboughthimtheshiniesthelmetandaridingoutfit.Icould___41___waitforhimtoopenuphisgift.Infact,Ibarelysleptthenightbefore.Uponawakening,Iwenttothekitchento___42___thecoffee,tea,andmorninggoodies.Inthelivingroomwasabeautifulkeyboardwitha___43___:〞Tomywonderfulmother,allmylove,yourson.〞Iwasso___44___.Ithadbeenalong-standingjokeinourfamilythatIwantedapianosothatIcould___45___lessons.“Learntoplaythepiano,andI’llgetyouone〞wasmyhusband’s___46___.Istoodthereshocked,cryingariver,askingmyselfhowmysoncould___47___thisexpensivegift.Ofcourse,the___48___awoke,andmysonwasthrilled(冲动的)withmyreaction.Manykisseswere___49___,andIimmediatelywantedhimto___50___mygift.Ashesawthehelmetandoutfit,thelookonhisfacewasnot___51___whatIwasexpecting.ThenI___52___thathehassoldthemotorcycletogetmethekeyboard.OfcourseIwastheproudestmother___53___onthatday,andmyfeetneverhitthegroundforamonth.SoIwantedyoutoknow,thatkindoflovestill___54___andlivesevenintheever-changingworldofme,me,me!Ithoughtyou’dloveto___55___thisstory.Yours,HilaryP.S.Thenextday,myhusbandandIboughthimanew“used〞alreadyshinymotorcycle.36.A.hope

D.write【答案与解析】本文通过讲述一对母子互相为对方买礼物的故事，说明世界上仍有无私的爱的存在。36.A。针对Laura对“当今世界是否有无私的真爱〞的疑心态度，作者通过自己的亲身经历来说明无私的真爱是存的。比拟4个选项，同时结合下文的内容，只有A最正确。37.C。下文(51空处)讲，“我〞希望看到儿子冲动的表情，所以是想给儿子一个特殊的(special)礼物。38.D。因为要挣钱买摩托车，所以整个夏天都在work。39.D。此处指儿子在这辆二手摩托车上花费了很长时间，一直到(until)它看上去跟新车一样。40.C。从搭配上看，四个选项都是对的，即：besureof对……有把握，befondof喜欢，beproudof为……而骄傲，beconfidentof对……有信心(把握)。但根据文章意思可知，作者的儿子是一个优秀而且很懂事的孩子，所以作者应该是对他引以自豪。41.D。此处指母亲等不及希望儿子早点见到礼物，描述的是母亲的迫切的心情。hardly意为“几乎不〞。42.A。由于tea和morninggoodies无需cook，故排除B；而set和serve不合语境。start在此表示“开始准备〞。43.A。note在此指“字条〞“便条〞。44.C。没想到儿子会给自己买keyboard，所感到很吃惊。另外，根据下文的Istoodthereshocked也可推知答案。45.B。根据下文说的Learntoplaythepiano,andI’llgetyouone可知，作者还不会弹钢琴，此处用takelessons表示“上课〞，也就是学钢琴。46.D。作者想拥有一架钢琴，而她的丈夫的答复是Learntoplaythepiano,andI’llgetyouone。47.B。此处指作者想知道儿子是怎样弄到那么钱来买这个礼物的。afford指“付得起钱〞。48.D。家里人都醒了，也就是整个屋子的人都醒了，这是拟人的写法。49.A。指家人之间因快乐而互相亲吻。比拟：exchange交换，experience经历，expect期待，exhibit展览。50.B。此处用open表示翻开礼物的包装。51.D。此处指作者的儿子看到礼物后脸上的表情并不像作者所期待的那样兴奋(因为他把摩托车卖掉了)。exactly意为“确切地〞。52.A。根据作者儿子给她买的贵重礼物以及儿子收到礼物后的表情来看，此时作者意识到儿子是把摩托车给卖掉了。53.C。ever与最高级连用表示加强语气，ever的意思“一直以来〞，又如：Itwasthebestresultthey’veeverhad.这是他们历来取得的最好成绩。54.B。指作者想让Laura相信，无私的爱仍然存在(exist)。55.C。指作者认为Laura会与自己分享(share)这个故事。2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·福建卷AladyandherhusbandsteppedoffthetraininBoston.Theywalkedwithoutanappointment(预约)intotheouter___36___ofHarvard’spresident.Buttheywere___37___byhissecretaryandkeptwaiting.Forhours,thesecretarytooknonoticeofthem,___38___thatthecouplewouldfinallybecome___39___andgoaway.Buttheydidn’t.Thesecretaryfinallydecidedtodisturbthepresident,though___40___.Afewminuteslater,thepresidentwalkedtowardsthecouplewitha___41___face.Theladytoldhim,“Wehadasonthat___42___Harvardforoneyear.HelovedHarvard.Hewas___43___here.Butaboutayearago,hewasaccidentallykilled.MyhusbandandIwouldliketo___44___amemorial(纪念物)tohim,somewhereoncampus.〞Thepresidentwasn’t___45___Instead,hewasshocked.“Madam,〞hesaid,“wecan’tputupastatueforeverypersonwhostudiedatHarvardanddied.Ifwedid,this___46___wouldlooklikeacemetery(墓地).〞“Oh,no,〞thelady___47___quickly,“wedon’twanttoputupastatue.Wewouldliketogivea___48___toHarvard.“Thepresidentrolledhiseyesand___49___atthecoupleandthenexclaimed,“Abuilding!Doyouhaveany___50___howmuchabuildingcosts?Wehavespentover$7,500,000onthecampusbuildingatHarvard.〞Foramomenttheladywassilent.Thepresidentwas___51___,becausehecouldgetridofthemnow.Thentheladyturnedtoherhusbandandsaidquietly.“Isthatallitcoststostarta___52___?Whydon’twejuststartourown?〞Herhusbandnodded.___53___theirofferwasturneddown.Mr,andMrsStanfordtraveledtoCaliforniawheretheyfoundedtheUniversitythatbearstheir___54___,amemorialtoasonthatHarvardnolonger___55___about.36.A.Lab

C.picture D.sign55.A.talked B.knew C.beard D.cared【答案与解析】本文主要讲述了Stanford大学是怎样创立的。36.D。Stanford夫妇没有预约来找Harvard的校长，根据常识，他们应该是在校长办公室的外间。37.B。根据前文讲到的withoutanappointment和后文讲到的keptwaiting可知，此处指Stanford夫妇被秘书拦住(stopped)了。38.A。根据Forhours,thesecretarytooknonoticeofthem这一信息来看，秘书肯定是希望(hoping)他们最后变得失望而离开。39.B。分析见上题。40.D。秘书开始对Stanford夫妇不理不睬，是希望他们最后变得失望而离开。但是，他们的坚持最后使得秘书不得不去找校长，故此处用unwillingly最合语境。41.C。从下文可以看出，校长对Stanford夫妇一直很冷淡，而且拒绝了他们的要求。故此处填cold最正确。42.A。表示Harvard学习，要用studyinHarvard或attendHarvard。43.D。根据前文的HeloveHarvard可知，Stanford夫妇的儿子在Harvard很愉快。44.B。比拟：setabout着手工作；setup建立；takedown拿下，记下；takeover继承；接管。根据与其后宾语的搭配，只有setup最正确。45.C。此处指校长并没有被夫妇二人的话所感动。相反，他感到很震惊，并拒绝了他们的请求。46.D。Ifwedid在此的意思是“如果我们同意你们哈佛为你们的儿子建一个纪念物的话〞，故此处选place，thisplace指哈佛大学。47.A。根据后文Harvard夫人说的话来看，她是在作解释(explain)。48.A。根据下文提到的howmuchabuildingcosts可以推断出此处填building。49.C。此处指校长不相信Stanford夫妇有能力盖一座楼，所以他用轻蔑的眼光扫视他们，故用glance最贴切。50.B。haveanideaaboutsth意为“知道……〞。51.D。此处指的是校长感到很快乐，因为他认为现在可以摆脱掉他们了。52.B。从下文可知，Stanford夫妇想建立了一所属于自己的大学。53.C。因上下文为因果关系，故用since。54.A。bearone’sname意为“用……的名字〞“带有……的名字〞。55.D。比拟：talkabout谈论；knowabout知道，了解；hearabout听说；careabout在乎，关心。根据文章语境，选careabout最正确。2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·广东卷Somemythsarestoriestoldsinceancienttimestoexplainthecausesfornaturalhappenings.TheGreekmyththatexplainswhytherearechangesof___36___isaboutDemeter,thegoddessoftheharvest.Shehadadaughter,Persephone,whomshelovedverymuch.Hades,godoftheunderworld,fellinlovewithPersephone,andheaskedZeus,the___37___ofthegods,togivePersephonetohimashis___38___.ZeusdidnotwanteithertodisappointHadesortoupsetDemeter,sohesaidhewouldnotagreetothemarriage,butneitherwouldhe___39___it.Hades,therefore,decidedtotakethegirlwithout___40___.WhenPersephonewaspickingflowersinthegarden,heseizedherandtookhertotheunderworld.WhenDemeter___41___whathappenedtoPersephone,shebecameso___42___thatshecausedallplantsto___43___Peoplewerein___44___ofstarving.ButDemeterwasdeterminednottoletcropsgrow___45___herdaughter,Persephone,wasreturnedtoher.___46___,stillnotwantingtodisappointHades,decideduponaconditionforPersephone’s___47___.Shecouldgobacktohermotherifshehadnot___48___anythingwhileshewasintheunderworld.Demeter___49___itbecauseshedidnotknowthatPersephonehadeatenseveralpomegranate(石榴)seedsintheunderworld.WhenZeus___50___this,heagreedthatPersephonecouldspendpartoftheyearwithher___51___,butheaddedthatsinceshehadeatentheseeds,shemustspendpartoftheyearintheunderworld.Andsoit___52___thatwhenPersephoneisintheunderworld,Demeterissadandtherefore___53___notletthecropsgrow.Thatis___54___wehavewinterwhenplantsdonotgrow.WhenPersephonereturns,Demeteris___55___,itisspring,andplantsbegintogrowagain.36.A.periods

D.happy【答案与解析】本文通常一个希腊神话说明了四季变化的由来。36.B。根据文章最后几句话可知，文章讲的是季节(season)的更换。37.B。Zeus是宇宙之神，是众神的统治者。从下文可以看出，不仅Demeter和Hades之间的矛盾的需要Zeus的调解，而且他们的想法也要取得Zeus的同意。38.A。根据上文的Hades…fellinlovewithPersephone以及后文的…agreetothemarriage可知，Hades想娶Persephone为妻。39.A。此处指的是Zeus既不会同意这桩婚事，也不会禁止。40.D。根据下文可知，Hades是抢走Persephone，即没有得到允许。41.D。比拟：findout查明真相；letout放开，放出；workout算出；thinkout想出。只有选项D最符合语境。42.C。后文说Demeter决定要让所有植物停止生长，可见她很生气(angry)。43.C。根据第54空处的内容可知，此处指她使所有植物停止生长。44.A。比拟：indangerof处于……的危险中；inthehopeof怀有……的希望；inturn依次；incaseof以防万一。根据后文的starving可知，此题填空indangerof最正确。45.B。not...until意为“直到……才〞，此处指的是她要直到她女儿回来才让植物生长。46.B。根据其后的stillnotwantingtodisappointHades可知答案。47.A。此处指Persephone回到她母亲身边。48.C。根据下文的Persephonehadeatenseveralpomegranateseeds可知答案。49.D。根据上下文的语境看，Demeter接受了Zeus的条件。50.A。此处指“发现〞事情真相。51.B。根据下文的shemustspendpartoftheyearintheunderworld可知出此处应选withhermother。52.C。句中的it为形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。此处的意思是“……就这样发生了〞。53.D。比拟四个选项，只有will最合语境。54.C。That’swhy…的意思是“这就是为什么……〞“这就是……的原因〞。55.D。当Persephone回来时，Demeter很快乐，所以就是春天，植物开始生长。2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·湖北卷Youarenearthefrontlineofabattle.Aroundyoushellsareexploding;peopleareshootingfromahousebehindyou.Whatareyoudoingthere?Youaren’tasoldier.Youaren’t___36___carryingagun.You’restandinginfrontofa___37___andyou’retellingtheTV___38___whatishappening.It’sallinaday’sworkforawarreporter,anditcanbevery___39___.Inthefirsttwoyearsofthe___40___informerYugoslavia(前南斯拉夫),28reportersandphotographerswerekilled.Hundredsmorewere___41___.Whatkindofpeopleputthemselvesindangerto___42___picturestoourTVscreensand___43___toournewspapers?Whydotheydoit?“Ithinkit’severyyoungjournalist’s___44___tobeaforeignreporter,〞saysMichaelNicholson,“that’s___45___youfindtheexcitement.Sowhenthefirstopportunitycomes,youtakeit___46___itisawar.〞Buttherearemomentsof___47___.JeremyBowensays,“Yes,whenyou’relyingonthegroundandbullet(子弹)areflying___48___yourears,youthink:‘WhatamIdoinghere?I’mnotgoingtodothisagain.’Butthatfeeling___49___afterawhileandwhenthenextwarstarts,you’llbe___50___.〞“Noneofusbelievesthatwe’regoingto___51___,〞addsMichael.Buthealways___52___aluckycharm(护身符)withhim.Itwasgiventohimbyhiswifeforhisfirstwar.It’sacardwhichsays“Takecareofyourself.〞Doesheeverthinkaboutdying?“Oh,___53___,andeverytimeithappensyoulooktotheskyandsaytoGod,‘Ifyougetmeoutofthis,I___54___I’llneverdoitagain.’YoucanalmosthearGod___55___,becauseyouknowhedoesn’tbelieveyou.〞36.A.simply

D.crying【答案与解析】本文讲述了战地记者在战场上所遇到的各种艰难和危险并且描述了他们的思想斗争的情况。36.D。上句话说，“你〞不是士兵，接下来说的是“你〞甚至(even)没有枪，因为“你〞是战地记者。37.D。通读全文(尤其是第2段第1句话)可知，“你〞是战地记者(awarreporter)，那“你〞当然地站在camera前了。38.B。既然是战地记者站在摄像机前，那当然是给电视观众(TVviewers)作报道了。39.A。根据第1段中说的aroundyoushellsareexploding以及第2段中说的…reportersandphotographerswerekilled可知，只有选项A最适宜。另外，比拟四个选项，再结合常识，也可选出答案A。40.C。根据常识和后面的28reportersandphotographerswerekilled可知答案选C。41.A。根据文章意思和常识，战地记者死了28人，那么还有数百人应该是injured。42.A。比拟：bring带来；show出示，拿给……看；take带去，拿到；make制造。结合后面的picturestoourTVscreens，只有bring最正确。43.C。前面说给电视带来pictures，那么与之相对照，给报纸带来的应该是stories。44.B。根据下文可知，成为一名驻外记者是年轻记者的梦想。45.D。where引导地点状语从句，其意为“……的地方〞。46.D。前文说当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想，所以当实现梦想的时机出现的时候，他们就一定会抓住，即使(evenif)是战争也不畏惧。47.A。根据下文中的…andbullet(子弹)areflyingpastyourears…WhatamIdoinghere?I’mnotgoingtodothisagain可知，记者们也有“害怕〞的时候。48.C。子弹从耳边飞过，用past，即指从耳朵旁边飞过。注意不能用through，因为它是指“穿过〞“穿透〞。49.B。句中的but使句意发生转折，前面说有时也有害怕的时候，后面经but转折后，应该这种感觉一会儿就过去了。(答此题时要注意围绕“当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想〞这一主题。)50.A。此处指的是害怕的感觉过去后，当下一场战争爆发的时候，你又会出现在那里。(答此题时也要注意围绕“当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想〞这一主题。)51.C。由下文可知，他们随身带着护身符，所以他们不相信他们会死。52.D。比拟：hang悬挂；wear穿，戴；hold握住，拿住；carry带，携带。因其后的宾语是aluckycharm(护身符)，显然只有carry最适宜。53.B。比拟四个选项，再结合空格后的everytime，选B最正确。54.C。向上帝祈求，当然是说“我保证〞或“我发誓〞，应选C最正确。55.B。由于战地记者们在“退出〞这个问题上总是说话不算数，所以当上帝再次听到他们保证的时候，上帝便会“发笑〞了。2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·湖南卷WhenIwasthirteen,myfamilymovedfromBostontoTucson,Arizona.___36___themove,myfather___37___usintheliving-roomonafreezingJanuarynight.MysistersandIsataroundthefire,not___38___thattheuniversewouldsuddenlychangeitscourse.“InMay,we’re___39___toThewords,sosmall,didn’tseem___40___enoughtoholdmynewlife.ButtheworldchangedandIawokeonatrammovingacrossthecountry.Iwatchedthe___41___changefromgreentreestoflatdustyplainstohighmountainsasIsawstrangenewplantsthat___42___mysteries(奥秘)yettocome.Finally,wearrivedand___43___intoownnewhome.___44___myoldersistersweresadatthelossoffriends,I___45___explored(探索)ournewsurroundings.Oneafternoon,Iwasoutexploring___46___andsawanewkindofcactus(仙人掌).Icrouched(蹲)downforacloserlook.“You’dbetternot___47___that.〞Iturnedaroundtoseeanoldwoman.“Areyounewlothisneighborhood?〞IexplainedthatIwas,___48___,newtotheentirestate.“MynameisInaThorne.Haveyougotusedtolifeinthe___49___?Itmustbequitea___50___afterlivinginBoston.〞HowcouldIexplainhowI___51___thedesert?Icouldn’tseemtofindtherightwords.“It’svastness,〞sheoffered.“Thatvastness___52___youstandonthemountainsoverlookingthedesert—youcan___53___howlittleyouareincomparisonwiththeworld.___54___,youfeelthatthepossibilitiesarelimitless.〞Thatwasit.ThatwasthefeelingI’dbadeversinceI’dfirstseenthemountainsofmynewhome.Again,my___55___wouldchangewithjustafewsimplewords.“Wouldyouliketocometomyhometomorrow?Someoneshouldteachyouwhichplantyoushouldandshouldn’ttouch.〞36.A.DuringB.Until

D.family【答案与解析】文章讲的是作者13岁时与家人一起从美国的大城市波士顿搬到美国西南部的亚利桑那州，以及搬家后生活所发生的变化。36.D。表示在搬家前父亲把孩子们召集在一起说搬家的事情。37.A。比拟四个选项，再结合本段大意，只有gather最正确，指父亲把孩子们聚集在一起讲搬家的事情。38.C。通读全文可知，由于两地的地理环境差异很大，搬家给孩子们的生活带来了很大的变化，而当时只是听父亲说要搬家，孩子们并没意识到今后的生活发生变化。39.B。文章讲的是搬家的事，所以只有填空move最适宜。40.C。与前面的small形成比照，用big。41.C。指作者在火车上所观察到的景色(scene)的变化——从绿树到平原，再到高山。42.A。指作者在沿途看到了许多新的陌生的植物，这说明(suggest)他今后还会接触到更多新的奥秘。43.A。比拟：settleinto迁入(新居)，习惯于(新居、生活、环境等)；walkinto走进；stepinto步入，走进；hurryinto匆匆忙忙进入。由于其后的宾语是home，不是house，所以不能直接“走进去〞。settleinto表示“习惯于〞的例子：Ittakesafewmonthstosettleintolifeatcollege.要过几个月才能习惯大学的生活。44.D。while在此表示比照。句意为：姐妹们正在为失去朋友而伤心，而“我〞却急迫去探索周围的新环境。45.D。eagerly意为“渴望地〞“热切地〞。指作者来到新地方后那种渴望了解大自然的急迫心情。(做此题要注意结合下文讲的“我〞对探索大自然的热情。)46.B。asusual意为“像往常一样〞。〔这是作者热心探索大自然的表现之一。〕47.D。根据文章最后一句话Someoneshouldteachyouwhichplantyoushouldandshouldn’ttouch可知，此空应填空touch。48.B。infact意为“事实上〞，表示对前面情况的进一步强调。49.A。注意第51空后有提示。50.C。此处指作者以前住的大城市与现在的desert形成强烈比照，因此选shock。其余几项用于此处均讲不通。51.A。此处填空的find不是表示“发现〞，而是表示“感觉〞，又如：Howdoyoufindyournewjob?你认为你的新工作怎么样？52.B。句中的vastness意为“宽广〞或“空旷无际〞。句意为：这种宽广就是当你站在山上眺望其下沙漠的情景。53.C。此句的大意是：当你站在山顶上眺望这一片沙漠的时候，与这个世界相比，你会感觉到你自己是多么的渺小。sense在此表示“感到〞，其余几个动词填在此处均讲不能。54.D。比拟：however但是，然而；otherwise要不然；therefore因此，所以；meanwhile在此同时。结合上句话的意思，只有meanwhile最适宜。55.B。结合全文的意思，此处应是指作者的生活发生变化。2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·江苏卷OnMay27,1995,ourlifewassuddenlychanged.Ithappenedafewminutespastthree,___36___myhusband,Chris,fellfromhishorseasit___37___overafence.Chriswasparalyzed(瘫痪)fromthechestdown,___38___tobreathenormally.Ashewasthrownfromhishorse,weenteredintoalifeof___39___withlotsofunexpectedchallenges(挑战).Wewentfromthe“haves〞tothe“have-nots〞.Orsowethought.___40___whatwediscoveredlaterwereallthegiftsthatcameoutof___41___difficulties.Wecametolearnthatsomething___42___couldhappeninadisaster.Allovertheworldpeople___43___Chrissomuchthatlettersandpostcardspouredineveryday.Bytheendofthethirdweekina___44___centerinVirginia,about35,000piecesof___45___hadbeenreceivedandsorted.As___46___,weopenedletterafterletter.Theygaveus___47___andbecameasourceofstrengthforus.Weusedthemto___48___ourselves.Iwouldgotothepileoflettersmarkedwith“Funny〞ifweneededa___49___,ortothe“Disabled〞boxtofindadvicefrompeopleinwheelchairsor___50___inbedlivinghappilyand___51___.Theseletters,werealized,hadtobeshared.Andso___52___weofferoneofthemtoyou.DearChris,MyhusbandandIweresosorrytohearofyour___53___accidentlastweek.Nodoubtyourfamilyandyourfriendsaregivingyouthestrengthtofacethis___54___challenge.Peopleeverywherearealsogivingyoubestwisheseverydayandweareamongthosewhoarekeepingyou___55___.YoursSincerely,NancyReagan36.A.since

D.alive【答案与解析】文章讲的是Chris摔伤后，生活所面临的困难以及后来人们对他们的关心和鼓励。36.C。根据句意可知，“3点过几分〞正是事故发生的时间，故其后用when引导非限制性定语从句。when在此可译为“当时〞。37.D。因空格后是overafence，根据常识，马应该是“跳〞过栅栏，应选jump。38.B。因出事后Chris胸部以下瘫痪了，所以他不能(unable)正常地呼吸。其他几个词填在此处均讲不通。39.C。alifeofconvenience方便的生活。此句的大意是：即使是平常很方便的生活，我们也面临着很多意想不到的挑战。40.D。前面一段讲事故发生后我们面临的困境，而接下来一段那么讲到人们对Chris的关心。故用yet来表示转折。41.A。大家都关心Chris，给他寄来礼物，这显然是与我们sharingdifficulties。42.C。一人遇到不幸，众人伸手相帮，这当然是somethingwonderful。43.B。下文说每天有很多信和明信片寄给Chris，说明有许多人关心他。carefor意为“关心〞。44.A。由于Chris摔伤了，自然是在医院治病。amedicalcenter意为“医疗中心〞。45.D。根据前文的lettersandpostcards和空格后的hadbeenreceivedandsorted可知，答案只能选D。注意，由于mail表示“邮件〞时是不可数名词，所以其前用了pieces来修饰。46.B。此句的意思是：我们一家人拆的信是一封接一接——说明收到的信件很多。47.C。根据常识，人们给处于困境的人写信，应该是表示抚慰和鼓励。比拟四个选项，comfort最适宜。48.A。此处指的是我们利用这些好心人的来信来鼓舞我们自己。49.B。根据常识，要想laugh自然要去找markedwith“Funny〞的信件。50.C。用even(甚至)表示递进关系，即“我们想从坐轮椅的人甚至是生病卧床的人那儿得到些建议〞。51.D。与happily相并列的应是successfully。52.A。表示下文马上要提出的内容，用here。53.D。ridingaccident指骑马出的事故。类似地，caraccident指车祸。54.C。difficultchallenge指困难的挑战。其余三项无法不合题意。55.D。比拟四个选项，只有alive最适宜。2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·江西卷Inthesummervacationof1997,Iwasfixedwithajob.Iworkedasa(n)___36___atMr.Breen’sfruitshop.Thefruitshopdid___37___business.Mostofthetradecamefromthehousewiveswholivedintheneighbourhood,___38___healsohadregularcustomerswhoarrivedoutsidetheshopincars.MrBreen___39___themallbynameandtheysometimesevenhadtheirorderalreadymadeup,always___40___metocarryitouttotheircar.Theywereclearlylong-standingcustomers,andI___41___theymusthavestayedfaithfultohim___42___hehadpromisedtosellgoodquality___43___.Hehadawaywiththem—Ihadto___44___that.Hecalledeverywoman“madam〞forastart,___45___thosewhoclearlywerenot,butwhenhe___46___it,itdidnotsoundlikeflattery(奉承).Itjustsounded___47___inanold-fashionedway.Hewasagreatchatter___48___.Ifhedidnotknowthem,hewouldgreetthemwithafew___49___abouttheweather,___50___hedid,hewouldaskabouttheirfamiliesormake___51___,alwayscuttinghiscloth___52___hiscustomers.Whatevertheirbillscameto,be___53___gavethembackthefewoddpence(零钱),andIamsuretheythoughthewasverygenerous(慷慨).ButIthoughthewastheopposite.Henever___54___anythingaway.Hewasalwayslookingfor___55___fornothing.36.A.operator
