Ⅲ .完形填空

Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a __1__ the summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a __2__. One of her colleagues needed a full－time __3__. “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital; why not volunteer to __4__ Nick instead？” Then she told me that this six－year－old boy was not a __5__ child.

Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day－care centers would not __6__ him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium(平衡)problems. He couldn't __7__ or run properly. I was __8__ if I was to take the job when my mother __9__， “Don't you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the __10__.”
Then I told her I was __11__ for the job.
The day started at 7：00 a．m. Nick was my wake－up call! With so much energy and very little __12__ , 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 __13__ up—How he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be__14__ to get a child to go down a slide(滑梯). Believe me, it wasn't! It took time, a lot of time. But with patience and support, Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his __15__ and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.

Halfway through the summer, he __16__ it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his __17__. After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big __18__ and asked, “May I go down again, alone？”
I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children __19__ for granted.
This __20__ child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.

答案及解析：

1. D。由空格后的busy可知作者想在繁忙的高中開(kāi)始前度過(guò)一個(gè)放松的假期，所以用relaxation，與busy形成對(duì)比。

2. B。句意為：“母親請(qǐng)求我給她幫一個(gè)忙”，固定短語(yǔ)：do sb. a favour “幫某人一個(gè)忙”。

3. A。結(jié)合下文作者照料那個(gè)小孩可知，作者母親的同事需要一個(gè)專職的保姆。

4. C。句意為：“既然你選擇了在醫(yī)院里做志愿者，那么為什么你不可以去照料Nick呢？”attend意為”照料”，符合句意。

5. A。 句意為：“然后母親告訴我那個(gè)六歲的男孩不是一個(gè)正常人?！眓ormal正常的。

6. C。句意為：“Nick是一個(gè)可愛(ài)的小男孩，但是他患了很多疾病，以至于日常護(hù)理中心不愿意接受小Nick?！?/p>

7. D。因?yàn)橛衅胶鈫?wèn)題，所以小Nick在走路或者跑步上都有麻煩，也就是說(shuō)他不能像正常人一樣去活動(dòng)。

8. A。 句意為：我正在猶豫著是否要接受這個(gè)工作時(shí)，母親說(shuō)道：“難道你將來(lái)不想成為一名護(hù)士嗎？我想你根本就沒(méi)有勇氣。”hesitate猶豫。

9. C。 為了讓作者接受這個(gè)工作，母親采用了激將法，所以用challenge來(lái)表示“挑戰(zhàn)性地說(shuō)”。

10. B。 作者的猶豫讓母親知道了作者最初不接受這個(gè)工作的原因，那即是作者被小孩子的狀況嚇壞了，沒(méi)有了勇氣，所以該空用courage.

11. D。 在母親的挑戰(zhàn)下，我說(shuō)我準(zhǔn)備好了，愿意接受。be ready for sth.準(zhǔn)備好了去做某事。

12. B。 該句講述Nick的狀況：精力多但是又不能自己保持平衡。

13. C。 小Nick看到別的孩子在玩耍，自己的臉上也放出了光，變得興奮了。light up發(fā)光，變興奮；cheer up高興起來(lái)(尤指從悲傷中變得高興)。

14. B。 一般人會(huì)認(rèn)為讓一個(gè)孩子從滑梯上滑下來(lái)是一件極其簡(jiǎn)單的事情，但是對(duì)小Nick而言，卻絕非簡(jiǎn)單。

15. A。句意為：“我們一起來(lái)面對(duì)Nick感到害怕的東西以及擔(dān)心的東西?！?/p>
