　　the summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a

　　__17__

　　. One of her colleagues needed a full-time

　　__18__.“You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to

　　__19__

　　Nick instead？” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a

　　__20__

　　child.

　　Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centers would not

　　__21__

　　him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left with equilibrium(平衡) problems. He couldn't

　　__22__

　　or run properly. I was

　　__23__

　　if I was to take the job when my mother

　　__24__，“Don't you want to

　　be

　　a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the

　　__25__.” Then I told her I was

　　__26__

　　for the job.

　　__27__， he was quite a mix.

　　At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy's face

　　__28__

　　up —

　　__31__

　　it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his

　　D. special 答案与解析： 16．D　根据本句中的“before my busy senior year”可知作者想在这个夏天“放松”一下。 17．B　do sb.a favour是固定搭配，表示“帮某人一个忙”。 18．A　下文提到Nick这个孩子与常人不同，由此可知作者母亲的同事需要一个全职“护士”。文章最后一段中的“being a nurse”也是线索提示。 19．C　作者的母亲建议作者志愿去“照顾”Nick。B项表示“帮助”，语意不太恰当。 20．A　根据下一段前半部分的叙述可推知他不是一个“正常的”孩子。其他选项在文章中没有信息支持。 21．C　结合上一句以及下一句的内容可推知正规的日托中心不“接受”他。此处强调的是主观愿望，因此B项不恰当；A项表示“承认”，D项表示“收养”，语意均不恰当。 22．D　结合空后的or run以及上一句的内容可知此处应用与run同类的walk，表示他不能正常地“走路”。 23．A　面对这样一个孩子，作者“犹豫不决”，不知是否应该接受这份工作。 24．C　根据作者的母亲所说的话可知她是在使用激将法“挑战”作者。A项表示“建议”，B项表示“争论”，D项表示“评价”，都不符合语境。 25．B　根据引号中的第一句话可知这里表作者的母亲怀疑作者是否有“勇气”接受这个挑战。A项表示“精力”，在文章中没有信息支持。 26．D　作者告诉母亲说自己做好了接受这份工作的“准备”。be eager for“渴望”，表示对成功的渴望或者对进取的热情，语意不太恰当。 27．B　此处用balance与第二段中的“equilibrium(平衡)problems”相呼应。这个孩子精力充沛，却几乎没有“平衡”能力。 28．C　light up表示“高兴起来”。cheer up表示“振作起来”，shut up表示“闭嘴”，都与所给语境不符。 29．B　根据常识可知让一个正常的孩子从滑梯上滑下来是非常“简单的”事情。A项表示“要求多的，吃力的”；C项表示“有趣的”；D项表示“灵活的”。 30．A　Nick不是一个正常的孩子，缺乏平衡性，而作者竟然想让他上滑梯，所以Nick需要面对“恐惧”。 31．D　make it是固定用法，表示“成功”，即他成功地走到了滑梯的顶部。如果选择A项，应去掉句中的it。 32．B　作者和他一起滑下滑梯后，等待着他的“反应”。下文中没有提到他的笑声，因此A项不恰当。 33．A　他当时显然不相信自己能够安然无恙地滑下滑梯，激动之情可想而知，所以此项最能显示他当时的兴奋之情。 34．C　“take...for granted”是固定搭配，表示“把……想当然，认为……是理所应当的”，即其他孩子认为爬上滑梯是很自然的事情。 35．D　上文提到Nick不是一个正常的孩子，所以此处强调的是他非常“特殊”。A项表示“悲惨的，痛苦的”，B项表示“聪明的”，C项表示“勇敢的”，都不符合语境。 Ⅲ.七选五 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Three quarters of old people live alone, and security is especially important to older people with poor eyesight. At the same time, old people tend to worry more about crime, and feel more vulnerable(易受伤害的)than others.

A. had he; Yes

　　B. did he; No C. do I; Yes

　　D. could he; No

　　答案与解析：B　句意：——我猜Jimmy在上周的期中考试中不可能做得挺好，对不对？——是的，他差点没及格。suppose后接否定概念时，应将否定提前，故后面的反意疑问句部分应该用肯定形式。从句中的could have done是对过去发生的事情的推测且从句中有明显的时间状语last week，故用一般过去时。根据答语可知第二个空应用no，表示否定。 Ⅴ.语法专练 1．(2010·北京朝阳区)Some teenagers ________ their health because they often expose themselves to so many electric products.
