Dad is a reserved man of few words but is always strict. What’s more, he is quite different from others in ideas and     : beating or bringing to account his son in the presence of neighbors as he strongly believes in such a     : a dutiful son is the     of the rod, which is deeply impressed in his mind from his father. So I was emotionally upset and     in spite of just a 10-year-old kid, who thought, “I was randomly beaten, so I would bring blows on other smaller kids”. And Dad would deal me a heavier     the next time.

It     that I completely lost control of this blow and found it impossible for me to     on my lessons as I came to blows with other kids all day long. Everything went from bad to worse for me so much     I couldn’t write out the English alphabet,     could I do arithmetic (算术).     , I was sent into a reformatory school(劳教所) where I stayed guilty for two and a half years. This time Dad shed bitter tears, saying, “Son, it is not that I don’t love you but that I should not have been so angry at your failure to     my expectations!”

Retiring from the army, he gave me 10,000 US dollars for a trip around the world.     getting back from this trip, he said to me, “Book knowledge is     valuable but he who travels far and wide should know better at the time of your life. I guess you are now fully prepared to get started for work.” At 26, I started up Runhua Machinery Co., Ltd., which was later poorly     and went bankrupt(破产); it was not long     I started to engage in a dye-stuff plant which happened to be blown up. At all these, my father only gave me such words, “I will congratulate you on your god-given setbacks and failures, which will help you make     mistakes in life.”

The Ph.D. graduation ceremony was grandly started and my parents were     invited to     . Dad didn’t say a single word     me but cried bitterly again this time, and at this very moment, my mind was in a state of     emotions and I stood on the stage with warm tears in my eyes.

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文，一个儿子回忆父亲从小到大对他的教诲，严厉却充满了爱，在经历了一系列挫折和失败后，才渐渐领悟父亲的良苦用心，并最终取得了成功。

1.A 考查名词。A.practices实行；B.approaches方法；C.attempts尝试；D.promises承诺；后句举出了父亲的一些具体行为——在邻居面前打骂孩子，同时，根据前句中的ideas可知，此处所填的词应与idea“思想”相照应，故选A。

2.C考查名词。A.emotion情绪；B.regulation规则；C.principle原则；D.patience耐心；后文补充了说到了一条俗语，此外根据前面搭配的believe可知，此处该接principle，故选C。

3.B考查名词。A.relief救济,减轻；B.product成果；C.reminder暗示；D.process过程；前文交代了父亲是个严厉的人，经常打孩子，此句的rod便是对父亲这一行为的比喻，而前句说了这是父亲一直信仰准则，因此推断父亲认为只有打骂孩子才能教育好孩子，即孝子是棍棒下的产物，故选B。

4.A考查形容词。A.disturbed扰乱的；B.ashamed惭愧的；C.delighted高兴的；D.confused困惑的；后句说尽管我还是个10岁的孩子，但我会想既然我总被随意打骂，那我也可以去打其他孩子，可见父亲的一系列行为不仅让我难过，更是扰乱了我的正常思维，故选A。

5.D考查名词。A.blame责备；B.argument争论；C.strike打；D.blow打；前句说了我认为可以随便打别的孩子，此句又用了一个and来承接前句，根据逻辑推理可得我下次就会被父亲打得更惨，故选D。

6.B考查动词短语。A. made out理解；B.turned out结果是；C.carried out执行；D.came out出现；后句开始写我由于之前的经历开始的一系列不好的结果，因此该句应该是一个总起句，“It turned out that…”固定句型表“结果是…”，故选B。

7.C考查动词。A.contribute贡献；B.appeal吸引；C.concentrate集中；D.approve批准,赞成.；后句说因为我成天都在打其他小孩，因此肯定无法集中注意力学习，此外该处词应与on搭配，只有c选项符合要求，concentrate on 集中精力，故选C。

8.】D考查连词。A. now that既然,；B. as if犹如；C.only if只有；D.so that所以；前句说事情变得越来越糟，后句则细说哪些方面不好，可以推断两句是因果关系，故选D.so that。

9.A考查副词。A.nor也不；B.so所以；C.either任何一个；D.seldom很少；前文说事情越来越糟，我不会写英文字母，此处肯定是我不会算数，not…nor…表“既不，也不”，故选A。

10.C考查词组。 A.To tell the truth实话讲；B.Generally speaking通常来讲；C.To make matters worse更坏的是；D.What’s more更甚；后文说我被送入劳教所，对比前后文，此时情况变得更糟，故选C。

11.A考查动词短语。 A.live up to达到，做到；B.come up with提出；C.get down to着手处理；D.look back on回顾；根据前文得知，父亲对我期望很高，所以一定是我达不到父亲的期望才会被父亲打，故选A.live up to。

12.B考查介词。A.At 在；B.Upon一…就；C.By在附近；D.Through穿过；upon表示“一…就”，此处是说我一旅行回来，父亲就对我讲，故选B。

13.A考查副词。A.undoubtedly毫无疑问；B.abundantly大量地；C.eventually最终；D.unconsciously不知不觉地；后句运用了转折，说行万里路会帮助你更好的理解生活，根据逻辑可推父亲显示肯定了书本知识毫无疑问是有价值的，故选A。

14.D考查动词。A.represented代表；B.supported支持；C.guaranteed保证；D.performed表现；后句说公司最终破产，那一定是运营不善，即表现不佳。故选D。

15.C考查介词。A.after在…之后；B.since自从；C.before在..之前；D.until直到；前文说公司破产了，而后我有换了一份工作，因此应该是公司破产距我第二份工作之前没有多久时间，It’s not long before…表“没过多久”，根据句意故选C。

16.B考查副词。A.more更多；B.fewer更；;C.many很多；D.few很少；后文可得知我最终取得了不错的成就，可见父亲告诉我，生活中的障碍和失败会让你犯更少的错，所以选B。

17.D考查副词。A.apparently显然；B.appropriately适当地；C.relevantly相关地；D.honorably光荣地；在博士学位授予仪式上，父母被邀请，必然是一件光荣的事，故选。

18.A考查动词短语。A.show up露面；B.hold up举起；C.take up从事；D.call up召集；根据前句得知父母受邀参加毕业典礼，因此父母在毕业典礼上露面出席，故选A。

19.C考查介词短语。A.in honor of为庆祝；B.in favor of支持；C.in praise of歌颂,赞扬；D.in remember of纪念.；文章开头就介绍了父亲是一个沉默寡言的严父，后句又说这次他又哭了，因此父亲应该没有说任何赞扬我的话，故选C。

【名师点睛】

解这类完形填空时要注意：

1. 掌握几种逻辑关系词

考生在做这类题目是一定要很好地把握上下文逻辑关系，掌握常见的几种表示转折、让步、条件、因果、并列等逻辑关系的词，再根据上下文语境判断出最佳答案。

2. 准确把握逻辑关系

考生在做题过程中需要留意上下文，正确把握上下文之间的逻辑关系。逻辑关系涉及时间、条件、原因、转折等几个方面。正确理解文章的内容并把握逻辑关系有助于考生准确地解答试题。（如：小题18中根据前句得知父母受邀参加毕业典礼，因此父母在毕业典礼上露面出席，这里通过因果逻辑关系推断，选择A。）

3. 仔细体会作者的思想情感

在解题过程中，考生要仔细体会作者所要表达的思想情感，不能按自己的想法去揣测文章中人物的心理活动。（如小题20中，通过全文分析，可知在经历之前多次挫折和人生的起起伏伏后，作者此时内心一定五味陈杂，五味陈杂的情感的同义词为mixed混乱的，故选择B。）
