Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His 4 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 5 answered questions — he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his 6 . But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, all 7 her very much.
One morning, we were working on math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 8 the problems with pains-taking tidiness. Pleased with his progress, I 9 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 10 . He'd missed the third problem.
My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 11 . From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.
"Look, Donnie," she said, kneeling beside him and gently 12 the tear-stained (弄脏的) face from his arms. "I've got something to 13 you." She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.

She kissed him and stood up. "Here," she said, "I'll leave one of these pencils on 17 desk so you'll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 18 teachers." Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.

I discovered that the minor complaint of an annoying coworker, or a flat tire pales in 7 with the beauty of sincere laughter, the 8 of a bakery. There were moments of 9 laughter, and tenderness in every day. I found I could train myself to see beauty 10 bother.
In the days after Bill's diagnosis and brain surgery, being his caregiver also meant being fully 11 as much as possible. During his last weekend, when we had dinner together a relative visited. I 12 that she'd changed her appearance, and not in a good way. It was the kind of 13 I'd usually keep to 14 . Just then, Bill voiced 15 what I'd been thinking, in that truthful way he had, and I found myself 16 out loud. I thought I could live with this man forever, but he 17 in four days.
Eleven years later, I haven't made much achievements. 18 every day, I try to be the person I became during those seven months. I try to be a little less judgmental, a little more generous, a little more 19 for the small moments in life.
I am a better person for having been Bill's caregiver. It was his last, best 20 to me.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者的丈夫患了癌症。在照顾丈夫的七个月里,作者受益颇多,感触很深。
(1)考查名词。routine“常规”;course“过程,课程”;event“事件”;basis“基础”。在七个月的过程中,Bill经历了从轻松地在网球中获胜到需要我的帮助才能去洗手间的过程。over the course of“在……过程中”是固定搭配。故选B。
(2)考查动词。win“赢”;hit“击中”;strike“罢工,撞,碰”;beat“打败”。该句叙述的是作者丈夫患癌之后的转变。from…指的是作者丈夫身体很好的状况。to…指的是作者丈夫生病之后的状况。因此该句应指丈夫原本身体强壮,可以轻松地在网球比赛中“获胜”。故选D。
(3)考查动词。believe“相信”;mean“意味着,意思是”;think“认为”;decide“决定”。这是我生命中最好的七个月。也许我不是那个意思。但那是我感到最有生气的时候。选B。
(4)考查形容词。句意:这是我生命中最好的七个月。也许我不是那个意思。但那是我感到最有生气的时候。alive“有生气的,活的”;awake“醒着的”;afraid“害怕的”;alone“单独的”。根据上文中的"It was the best seven months"可知,作者认为这是自己人生中最好的七个月。故该空应该选一个褒义词。故选A。
(5)考查动词。hope“希望”;admit“承认”;understand“理解”;accept“ 接受”。我逐渐地明白了这一点:不管在生活中我做什么事,没有什么比照顾我的丈夫更重要。即:照顾丈夫是最重要的事情。故选C。

(7)考查名词。conflict“冲突”;comparison“比较”;conversation“谈话”;touch“接触”。我发现,与真诚的笑声、烘焙店的气味相比,同事的小抱怨,或者是一个瘪了的轮胎都相形失色。in comparison with固定短语,“和……相比”。故选B。
(8)考查名词。taste“品尝”;meaning“意思”;smell“气味”;sense“感觉”。the beauty of sincere laughter和the ________ of a bakery是并列关系,都应该指好的事物,故该处应该指“烘焙店的(好闻的)气味”。选C。
(9)考查名词。句意:每天生活中都有高兴,大笑,温柔的时刻。sadness“悲伤”;fear“恐惧,害怕”;panic“惊慌”;joy“高兴”。该空和laughter,tenderness并列,应该都指好的事物,故选D。
(10)考查固定短语。other than“除了”;rather than“而不是”;more than“超过,不仅”;less than“少于”。上文提到,作者明白了生活中有美好的时刻。所以,她发现自己能够训练自己看到生活中的美而不是烦恼。选B。
(11)考查形容词。responsible“负责任的”;absent“缺席的”;present“出席的,存在的”;informed“了解情况的”。在Bill确诊和脑部手术后的几天里,作为他的护理者意味着尽可能多的陪伴他。陪伴丈夫即:要在他身边,在场。选C。

"You have two ears and one mouth. Rememberto listen more and speak less." That was the advice I 1 from a communications expert before, which gotme thinking about listening. It's not 2 that most of us are good at. Even those of uswho write for a living and are supposed to 3 how to do an interview and listen, often getit wrong and miss the rule: "Don't interrupt or try to 4 other people's sentences" and the rule: "Focusfully on the person speaking 5 focusing on your next comment."
I found this out recently after following thatcommunications expert's 6 . I was part of a grouplobbying (游说) politicians about the importance of old buildings and mainstreets. One gentleman 7 a very large district made up of small townscomplained that the main street was too 8 and there wasn't enough parking and there wasno 9 to widen the roads, which is exactly what ourorganization 10 for. We want walkable streets, not parkingspaces. Instead of arguing the point, I just 11 for a change and let him talk. Before our timewas up he was 12 how his son is a carpenter restoring a church,and how 13 building preservation was to him and hisfamily. Had I not 14 practiced listening, wemight have left his office earlier.
It has taken me a very long time to learn how to 15 . I might have been more 16 had I listened more. Nowthat I write and teach, I have 17 often about how important hearing is to ourconnection with others, and what a 18 my hearing has made in my life. 19 , hearing is different fromlistening, and, interestingly, there isn't any hardware that can help youlisten; you just have to sit down, shut up and 20 it.

20.For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Is Helicopter Parenting Necessary?
We've all heard the dangers of helicopter parenting. Remaining too 1 in a kid's life, especially throughout college, can lead to depression, lack of self-reliance and feelings of entitlement.
Superficially, this wisdom is sound. But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling backlash(反冲). The concern: warnings that moms and dads should 2 “the over parenting trap”—are discouraging parents from getting involved at all.
Yes, parents can be intrusive. 3 , there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when students genuinely need their family. One mom kept 4 about her son's signs of depression until right before he failed a semester. She did not want to “helicopter in.”
That means colleges, which have spent the past decade learning to 5 parents who get too involved, now have a different 6 . But the solution to both is the same: devising ways to channel moms and dads into the right kind of 7 role.
Much of this began because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students 8 with their parents like never before, thanks to smartphones. And with 9 in education soaring, university leaders have started to view parents as investment partners. Most of them have paid for this education for their children or gone into debt for this education. And in some sense, they're entitled to know and be assured that colleges are 10 their children's welfare.
Crucially, parent-outreach programs have also served as buffers(缓冲), 11 students—or worse, their professors—the discomfort of the nagging. At the University of Maryland, for example, the parent office has handled 12 for weekly academic-progress reports, which do not exist in higher education. Parents just want to know they have a place to go where someone will listen to their concerns.
But now, with some moms and dads cautious of even contacting the school in the first place, those same programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach, often via blogs, email and Facebook. Parents are now advised to be a guide, while acknowledging that the 13 owns the journey. That means asking questions, listening to answers, being patient and trusting kids to resolve their own problems. But if issues 14 , or if a student is in serious mental or physical danger, it also means hopping in the chopper, at least for a little while. “When you think about it, helicopters are useful tools,” says Chelsea Petree, who is launching a parent-outreach program. “They can see things we on the 15 can't see and get to emergencies quicker than we can. They can swoop in when needed. The key is that they go back up.”
