I believe in miracles because I’ve seen ...

I believe in miracles because I’ve seen so many of them.One day,a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old.“There’s a  36  in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it’s nothing,but he  37  I come to see you.”

Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would  38  to add something,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything hereslf.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the  39 of her mouth.A careful examination later  40  that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.

During her next appointment,I explained to her the  41  of the problem.She clasped my hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just  42 .”

I thought otherwise.After considerable  43  on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to  44  me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected,  45  treatment.

About six months later she retarned to my office,still energetic and  46 .

“How are you?”I asked.

“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded  47  high spirits.“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”

Surprised to see her at all,I answered  48  ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had  49  nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness  50 .

I had read of such things happening,but had  51  seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I’ve seen many others,because they keep getting  52  to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are a miracle, 53  through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to  54  the miracles of one another.

Since my first miracle,I’ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is  55 we choose to find it.

1.A 2.C 3.D 4.B 5.C     6.B 7.D 8.B 9.C 10.C    11.C 12.B 13.C 14.B 15.D    16.C 17.A 18.A 19.C 20.B 【解析】 1.A考查名词。下文告诉我们,老太太患的是癌症,而不是受了伤,由此可见,这位老太太是因为上颚痛才来看病的,所以选pain。 2.C考查动词。句意为:“我”告诉“我”的牙医这没什么,但是他却坚持让我来看看。由第二段中的“I found a large cancer that spread over much of the ____ of her mouth.”可以看出,她的病情很严重,所以应该是她的私人医生坚持要她来,因此要选择insist“坚决主张”,后面从句要用虚拟语气。declare宣布;suspect怀疑;promise承诺。 3.D考查动词。陪同老太太来的是她80岁的儿子,他试图补充点什么,但被老太太给阻止了。这里attempt to do sth.相当于try to do sth.意思是“试图做某事(但没有成功)”。而manage to do sth.意思是“成功做成某事”; continue to do sth.意思是“继续做某事”,显然都不符合语境。 4.B考查名词。上文提到,老太太感觉上颚(upper jaw)有点痛,所以应该选择roof,49空所在的句子也有暗示。roof在此处的意思是“牙床,上颚”。corner角落;区域;bottom底部;surface表面。 5.C考查动词。confirm确认。句意为:后来的检查确认这是一种严重的癌症。convince(使)信服,说服;consider考虑;conclude推断,得出结论。 6.B考查名词。由40空后的“a particularly bad sort of cancer”可以看出,在下次来看病时,我向她解释了病情的严重性(seriousness)。possibility可能性;importance重要性;resolution决心,解决。 7.D考查形容词。由语境可知,老太太一直以为自己身体很健康,所以要选fine,意思是“(身体)好的”。下文的“I’m just fine,honey,”也是暗示。 8.B考查名词。作为医生,“我”一直在劝说老太太去找一位治疗癌症的外科医生。老太太最终答应是因为两方面的原因,一方面是我的努力(effort),另一方面是老太太的善良,因为她想让我高兴,她才答应去的。permission允许;support支持;approval同意,赞同。 9.C考查动词。please意思是“使……高兴;取悦某人”。解析见上题。persuade说服;encourage鼓励;astonish(使)震惊。 10.C考查动词。因为老太太去看外科医生也是出于照顾“我”的面子,所以拒绝治疗也在“我”的预料之中。根据前面对老太太的描述(kindness)可知,“婉言拒绝”符合语境,因此选declined。provide提供;receive收到;require需要。 11.C考查形容词。解答此题的关键是空前的still,前文告诉我们,老太太一直很乐观,认为自己的病没什么大碍,并拒绝了大夫的治疗,所以应该选optimistic,意思是“乐观的”。。 12.B考查介词。in high spirits为固定用法,意思是“兴高采烈”。 13.C考查副词。一个病入膏肓的病人在六个月后竟然精力充沛、神采依然,“我”很吃惊,也很困惑,所以选择confusedly,意思是“困惑地”。worriedly担心地;patiently有耐心地;confidently有信心地。 14.B考查动词。cover覆盖。句意为:几乎覆盖整个牙床的癌症已经消失了,只留下一小片红。 15.D考查动词。这里指的是癌症症状消失后留下的东西,所以选择remained,语意见上题。 16.C考查副词。由上文“Surprised to see her at all”,“I couldn’t believe my eyes.”以及“That was my first miracle.” 可以看出,这里的意思是:我读过类似的故事,但这之前从没有亲眼看到这样的事情发生。所以选never。 17.A考查形容词。从那以后我看到了很多其他类似的奇迹。这说明奇迹在变得越来越容易让人看到,由此可以看出,easier符合语境。rare稀少的;happy幸福的;close接近的。 18.A考查连词辨析。第二个分句是前一个分句的原因。句意为:并且人们都是奇迹,因为通过他们我们有机会了解我们自己,看见一个又一个的奇迹。for用来引出原因。 19.C考查语境化选词。这一部分重点讲的是看见身边的奇迹,所以要选see。该段的前两句都有暗示。 20.B考查语境化选词。对应前面的place,选择wherever,句意为:从第一次奇迹之后,我逐渐明白:奇迹发生的时间和地点就在我们选择发现它的地方。

Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.

Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of "Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new hobbies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.

Not content with a big house, a  loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource(资源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(独特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.

1.Children who have read "Max and Martha" picture books may know ______.

A.how to deal with affairs at school

B.what to do if Max and Martha die

C.what to do when new babies are born into their families

D.how to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes

2.One of Danielle Steel's achievements is that ______.

A.some TV plays were based on her books

B.her picture books attracted a lot of young men

C.one of her books became a best-seller in 1998

D.she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records

3.We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel _____.

A.lives an exciting life

B.value her readers a lot

C.writes about quiet women

D.is pleased with her achievements
