The Power of Story

When my dog Gracie disappeared six years ago, I really learned what I believe. Gracie escaped from our backyard around 2:00 p.m. We searched the neighborhood for hours but had no ______. We put up advertisements, and by dark, we returned home, exhausted (精疲力竭).

On the second day, I called my animal doctor, the SPCA, and the animal shelter (收容所). Nothing. I felt lost.

If I knew Gracie had been ______, I would have been heartbroken. If I knew she was caught somewhere, I would save her. If I knew she had found a better home, I would be ______ yet relieved (放心的). But how do I deal with the unknown? Wait patiently? Search endlessly? Give up?

The third day, while I was searching in the woods with my friend Rhea, I told her losing Gracie was like losing faith (信任) in everything. Rhea smiled and said, “You know, maybe Gracie’s on a great adventure.” It seems ______, but I felt better then. Rhea’s words ______ me what, as a writer, I surely have faith in: the power of story.

As one writer said, all we have is stories. It’s what holds our life together. We call stories science, some stories myth (神話), but imagine hearing for the first time that the world may be round. Such stories only become real when we ______ them. And some stories are never supported with scientific facts, but they still seem to hold true.

For example, ten years earlier, I’d dreamt that I should get a ______, and by that evening, Gracie came into my life. When people would ask what kind of dog she was, I would say Muppet wolf terrier (小獵狗). It was something I ______ because I believed Gracie was half dog, half wolf.

So why not imagine now that she was off on an adventure exploring her wolf side?

The fourth day started with me finding a ______ on the sidewalk, I’d always thought of finding money as a good sign. And I was sure Gracie would come home on the fifth day. I guess it was another story to hold on to.

On Day Five, I was at a friend’s house when her phone rang. I knew immediately it was news about Gracie. And I was right. When I finally saw her in my hallway, I cried. “My wolf days are ______.” Gracie seemed to say. “I’m back to being a dog”.

【1】C 考查名詞及語(yǔ)境的辨析 A. Luck幸運(yùn)；B. Reason原因；C. Good好的；D. Problem問(wèn)題 。根據(jù)文章when I had my class write something ahout themselves, 可知作者讓學(xué)生們寫(xiě)一寫(xiě)關(guān)于自己的東西，可是Vincent卻坐在那里動(dòng)也不動(dòng)，作者就上前去告訴他可以寫(xiě)任何自己想寫(xiě)的東西。故選C。

【2】A考查名詞及語(yǔ)境的辨析 A. Kept保持；B. Sold買(mǎi)；C. Stolen偷；D. Killed殺死 。根據(jù)后文The more he tried to do the mings on his terms, the more we forced him to do the things on our terms and the angrier he got可知答案為A。故選A。

【3】B考查名詞及語(yǔ)境的辨析 A. Mad生氣的；B. Worried擔(dān)心的；C. Sad悲傷的；D. Moved移動(dòng)；在很多年之后，作者和Vincent又聯(lián)系上了，在短信交流后他們見(jiàn)面了，Vincent給作者講述了他自己的故事。故選B。

【4】C考查名詞及語(yǔ)境的辨析 A. Right正確的；B. Strange奇怪的；C. Reasonable負(fù)責(zé)人的；D. Real真得 。Vincent和其他的孩子不一樣，他不能安靜地坐在那里靜靜地做事。所以對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)安靜地坐著聽(tīng)課對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)根本就不起作用。故選C。

【5】D考查名詞及語(yǔ)境的辨析 A. Ordered命令；B. Warned警告；C. Reminded記��；D. Suggested建議。 作為老師的作者強(qiáng)迫Vincent安靜地坐在那里上課，讓他變得更煩躁反而起了負(fù)作用。故選D。

【6】D考查名詞及語(yǔ)境的辨析 A. Hear聽(tīng)見(jiàn)；B. Know知道；C. Believe相信；D. Read讀。Vincent卻從不責(zé)怪老師，因?yàn)樗�自己知道自己的表現(xiàn)很糟糕，所以自己負(fù)責(zé)。故選D。

【8】A考查名詞及語(yǔ)境的辨析 A. looked up查閱；B. built up建造；C. set up建立；D. made up構(gòu)成 。但這并不意味著作者什么事情都沒(méi)有去做，沒(méi)有努力。他也與孩子有無(wú)數(shù)次的談話，也努力嘗試著去理解他，走進(jìn)他。故選A。
