3 enough, when Nicholas met kids at the shelter, he 4 realized that they were living in circumstances that were different from his own.
\"I saw other kids who looked just like me. The only 5 was that they were wearing 6 shoes that were falling apart. Some didn't have a pair of shoes to call their own,\" said Nicholas, now 15. \"I've been 7 to grow up in a family that is able to provide me with whatever I need. A lot of kids here in the U. S. don't have the same 8 .\"
That first shelter 9 left a strong impression on Nicholas, who started 10 all the shoes he'd outgrown to local shelters. But he soon 11 that his donations weren't that helpful.
\"It 12 me that I only had used shoes to give to them 13 new shoes that fit right,\" he said. \"No two people's feet are exactly the same, and 14 you are wearing someone else's worn shoes, your feet aren't going to be comfortable.\"
So at the age of 12, Nicholas started a program that donates 15 shoes to homeless children. 16 , his efforts were part of a community service project.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，Nicholas在5岁时随妈妈拜访了无家可归者的收容所，住在里面的孩子穿着破旧的鞋给他留下了深刻的印象。长大之后，他发起了一个为无家可归者捐鞋的活动来帮助他们。他还鼓励其他年轻人也去做相同的事情。
（1）考查形容词。A. disappointed“感到失望的”；B. puzzled“感到困惑的”；C. excited“兴奋的”；D. surprised“感到吃惊的”。根据下文“to show off his new lightup sneakers”可推知，Nicholas为可以炫耀他的能发光的新运动鞋而感到兴奋。故选C。
（2）考查动词。A. explaining“解释”；B. expecting“期盼，预测”；C. deciding“决定”；D. judging“判断”。根据上文“But his mom warned him against doing so”可知，Nicholas的妈妈警告他不要这么做，并向他解释了原因，因为收容所里的孩子可能没有这样的东西。故选A。
（3）考查副词。A. Terribly“可怕地，糟糕地”；B. Sure“确信，当然”；C. Strangely“奇怪地”；D. Fair“公正地”。根据下文“... living in circumstances that were different from his own”可知，果然如妈妈所说，Nicholas发现收容所里的孩子们过着跟他不一样的生活。sure enough固定短语，“果然，果真”，故选B。
（4）考查副词。A. actually“事实上”；B. possibly“可能地”；C. quickly“迅速地”；D. simply“简单地”。根据第一段最后一句和空格后的内容可知，Nicholas来到收容所后，很快就意识到收容所里的孩子们的生活环境和他自己的有所不同。故选C。

（10）考查动词。A. donating“捐献”；B. posting“张贴”；C. selling“卖”；D. delivering“递送”。根据上文可知，收容所里的孩子们穿着破旧的鞋子给Nicholas留下了很深的印象，于是他开始将自己穿小了的鞋捐给当地的收容所。下句中的“donations”也是提示。故选A。 （11）考查动词。A. remembered“记得”；B. admitted“承认”；C. doubted“怀疑”；D. realized“意识到”。根据下文“No two people's feet ... to be comfortable.”可知，Nicholas很快意识到他的捐赠对那些无家可归的孩子们不是那么有帮助。故选D。
（12）考查形容词。A. delighted“感到高兴的”；B. bothered“感到困扰的”；C. amazed“惊讶的”；D. astonished“吃惊的”。根据下文可知，因为每个人的脚并不完全相同，所以旧鞋穿到别人脚上可能会不舒服。而自己只有旧鞋而没有新鞋可以捐赠，这一点让Nicholas很烦恼。故选B。

I was 17 ! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 18 .

【解析】【分析】本文属于夹叙夹议类短文，以“我”在电话中与Rani的交流中发现，她比较“冷漠”，甚至有了换人的想法。后来实际生活中的一次接触让我发现原来的看法完全是错误的。
(1)D 考查上下文串联。动词accept接受；notice注意；hear听说；听见；meet遇见；根据第一句可知很多人只是通过电话了解你，你们也许从来都没有见过面，只是通过电话交流。故D正确。
(2)A 考查动词短语。动词move移动；run奔跑；develop发展，开发；短语come from来自于....；他们对你的了解来自于电话，因为你们之间的距离通常非常遥远，甚至在千里之外。，与BCD三项的动词语义不搭配。故A正确。
(3)B 考查上下文串联。虽然你们之间的距离很远，但是他们只要通过你的声音，就可以了解你。上下文之间是转折关系，所以使用副词yet串联前后语义。故B正确。
(4)C 考查副词辨析。副词rather相当地；also也；just只是；already已经；本句使用just表示强调，别人只要通过声音就可以了解你。故C正确。
(5)A 考查上下文串联。根据26空后“only by phone”可知本文介绍的是电话，人们可以通过电话了解你。故A正确。
(6)D 考查上下文串联。形容词direct直接的；useful有用的；easy容易的；accurate准确的；本空前的but说明上下文之间是转折关系，电话虽然很强大，但是也并不是很准确。与ABC三项语义不搭配。故D正确。
(7)A 考查介词辨析。介词in person亲自，by myself靠自己；in public当众；on purpose故意地；A项与空前的faceless形成呼应，Rain是代理人，但是我们从来没有碰过面。故A正确。
(8)A 考查上下文串联。空前的cold voice可知Rani在电话里的声音很冷漠，这让我很不高兴，甚至想过要另外找一个代理人。说明我对他的声音很反感。故A正确。
(9)C 考查上下文串联。动词promote提拔；train训练；find寻找，找到；know知道；正是因为Rani的声音让我很不舒服，所以我曾经想过另外找代理人取代他。故C正确。 (10)D 考查动词辨析。动词arrange预定；postpone推迟；confirm确认；book预定；因为家庭中的紧急事情我要立刻预定回家的航班。动词book与flight相搭配。故D正确。 (11)A 考查介词短语。短语for the first time第一次；at any time随时；from time to time时而不时；in good time及时，迅速；因为情况紧急，所以我第一次亲自来到Rini的办公室。故A正确。
(12)B 考查动词辨析。动词expect期待，预料；see看见；test检测；avoid避免；她看到了
我的着急，Rani非常同情我，给了我安慰的笑容。动词see与上下文搭配一致。 (13)B 考查形容词辨析。形容词shy害羞的；comforting安慰的；familiar熟悉的；forced被迫的；她看到我很着急，笑着安慰我。故B正确。
(14)C 考查上下文串联。根据30空可知我要预定回家的航班的机票，本句中Rani很快帮我把机票打印出来。故C正确。
(15)C 考查上下文串联。副词hopefully充满希望地；disappointedly感到失望地；gratefully感激地；regretfully遗憾地；对方如此迅速地帮我把机票打印出来，而且一直面带微笑，这让我心存感激。故C项正确。
(16)D 考查上下文串联。形容词careful细心的；serious严肃的，认真的；nervous紧张的；pleasant令人愉快的；现实生活中的Rani富有同情心，待人热情大方。是一个令人愉快的相处对象。所以当我转身时，看见的是与电话中完全不一样的Rani。故D项正确。 (17)D 考查上下文串联。现实生活中的她是如此的体贴大方，而我之前却认为她很冷漠，甚至有了要另找代理的想法，我真是无话可说。说明电话中得到的印象有时很不准确。故D项正确。
(18)B 考查上下文串联。在文章28空前“cold”以及前句“...she was cold”之前我因为Rani很冷漠，但却没有想到实际生活中的Rani是如此的美好善良。故B项正确。
(19)C 考查名词辨析。名词forgiveness谅解；eagerness急切；friendliness友好；skillfulness熟练；从52-54空内容可知Rani对我非常友好善良，并没有电话中的那种冷漠的感觉。故C项正确。
(20)B 考查名词辨析。名词explanation解释；attitude态度；concept概念；behavior行为；Rani的善良友好的态度并没有从电话线中传递过去。B项指Rani接待我的友好的态度。故B项正确。

I stood on my grandmother's front porch with my son. He had a bottle of bubbles. You know the 1 it's basically soapy water with a plastic loop on each end. You dip the loop in the bottle, pull it out, and blow it to make bubbles. My son understood the principle but was 2 trying to blow bubbles. He 3 dip and dip and blow and blow, but alas, no bubbles.

After several fruitless 11 , I changed strategies. 12 puffing on the loop of soapy water, I gently 13 on it. My son screamed with delight as a big beautiful bubble formed and 14 away. He grabbed the loop, dipped and blew. No bubbles. I 15 to him, \"Son, you can't blow hard. You must ever so gently breathe on the loop to make bubbles.\" He contained his urgent 16 to make big bubbles by blowing hard and 17 my advice. Big bubbles. There are some things that you can get with 18 force, but other things like love or respect only 19 the gentleness of a soft breath.
