Question

【題目】The Gift of Forgiveness

The summer I turned 16, my father gave me his old 69 Chevy Malibu convertible. What did I know about classic cars? For me, the important thing was that Hannah and I could _______ around Tucson with the top down.

Hannah was my best friend, a year younger but much _______. That summer she _______ with a modeling agency, doing catalog and runway work.

A month after my birthday, Hannah and I went to the movies. On the way home, we _______ at the McDonald’s drive-through, putting the fries in the space between us to _______. “Let’s ride around awhile,” I said. It was a clear night, hot, full moon hanging low over the desert. Taking a curve (彎) too _______, I ran over some dirt and fishtailed. I then moved quickly through a neighbor’s landscape wall and drove into a full-grown palm tree. The front wheel came to rest halfway _______ the tree trunk.

There were French fries on the floor, the dash (儀表盤) and my lap. An impossible amount of _______ was on Hannah’s face, pieces of skin hanging around her eyes. We were taken in separate ambulances. In the emergency room, my parents spoke quietly: “Best plastic surgeon (整容醫(yī)生) in the city…but it is more likely the _______ of her modeling career…”

We’d been wearing lap belts, ________ the car didn’t have shoulder belts. I’d broken my cheekbone on the steering wheel; Hannah’s ________ had split wide open on the dash. What would I say to her?

When her mother, Sharon, came into my hospital room, I started to cry, preparing myself for her ________. She sat beside me and took my hand. “I drove into the back of the car of my best friend when I was your age,” she said. “I completely ________ her car and mine.”

“I’m so sorry,” I said.

“You’re both ________,” she said. “Everything else doesn’t matter.” I started to explain, and Sharon stopped me. “I ________ you. Hannah will too.”

Sharon’s forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to get back in the car together that summer, to stay ________ throughout high school and college, to be in each other’s weddings. I think of her gift of forgiveness every time I tend to feel angry about someone for a perceived（可感知到的）________, and whenever I see Hannah. The scars (傷疤) are now ________ and no one else would notice, but in the sunlight I can still ________ the faint, shiny skin just below her hairline—for ________, a sign of forgiveness.

這是一篇記敘文。作者16歲那年，開著爸爸給她的車，跟好友Hannah看完電影后還想兜風一會，卻不料拐彎太急，最后撞到了一棵棕櫚樹上，導致好友額頭上留了一塊傷疤。在作者最自責的時候，好友的母親卻原諒了作者，這個原諒讓作者和Hannah能繼續(xù)作為好朋友。作者很感激這次原諒。

【1】考查動詞辨析。句意：對我來說，最重要的事情是我和Hannah可以敞著篷子在Tucson周圍逛。A. drive開車；B. run跑步；C. wander徘徊，漫步；D. march前進，行軍。上句講作者爸爸給了一輛車，所以這里應該指開車閑逛。故選A。

【2】考查形容詞比較級。句意：Hannah是我最好的朋友，比我小一歲但是比我高一些。A. stronger更強壯；B. healthier更健康；C. taller更高；D. smaller更小。由下句中她在模特經(jīng)紀公司做模特，可知她應該很高，故選C。

【3】考查動詞辨析。句意：那個暑假它與一家模特經(jīng)紀公司簽約，在那里做編目工作與時裝模特。A. competed競爭；B. chatted聊天；C. signed簽約；D. bargained討價還價。由于是在公司上班，所以是要與公司簽約的。故選C。

【4】考查動詞辨析。句意：回家的路上，我們停在肯德基免下車的車道上，把薯條放在我們倆都能夠找的地方。A. stopped停下來；B. ate吃；C. aimed目標；D. stood站起來。我們要在肯德基買薯條，所以一定需要把車停在免下車的通道上一會，故選A。

【5】考查動詞辨析。句意同上。A. catch抓��；B. share分享；C. hold持有，擁有；D. spare備用的，多余的。根據(jù)句意，我們把薯條放在我們都能夠著的地方以便分享。故選B。

【6】考查副詞辨析。句意：拐彎太急，我轉到了泥土里并且車尾開始搖晃起來。A. fast快；B. seriously嚴重地；C. softly溫柔地；D. slow慢的。由車尾開始搖晃起來，以及下句中沖過鄰家的景觀墻，可知他們拐彎太急太快，才會發(fā)生失控。故選A。

【7】考查介詞辨析。句意：車的前胎一半停在樹樁的上邊。A. across從……的一邊到另一邊；B. up在……之上；C. below在……下面；D. along沿著。由于他們是裝在一棵長大的樹上，所以車胎可能是半卡在空中。故選B。

【8】考查名詞辨析。句意：Hannah的臉上有很多血，眼角掛著蹭起來的幾片皮膚。A. blood血；B. petrol汽油；C. water水；D. sweat汗。由蹭掉的皮膚可知，Hannah的臉上應該是有血。故選A。

【9】考查名詞辨析。句意：可能是她模特生涯的結束。A. path 道路；B. base 基底；C. point要點，得分；D. end結束。由前邊父母悄悄說的話“這是市里最好的整容醫(yī)生”可知，Hannah臉上傷的不輕，可能會留下傷疤，影響到她的模特生涯。故選D。

【10】考查并列連詞。句意：我們都系了安全腰帶，但是沒有系肩帶。A. and并且；B. but但是；C. or或者；D. so因此。由下文中的，我傷到了顴骨，Hannah傷到了額頭可知，他們沒有系肩帶，導致他們頭碰到了前邊。前后句之間是轉折關系。故選B。

【11】考查名詞辨析。句意：Hannah的前額在猛沖中被撞破了一個大口。A. shoulders肩膀；B. arms雙臂；C. chest胸；D. forehead前額。此空格與全文最后一句中的“just below her hairline（剛好在發(fā)際線下邊）”呼應，說明撞破的是前額。故選D。

【12】考查名詞辨析。句意：當她媽媽Sharon來到醫(yī)院的房間時，我開始哭了，準備好了迎接她的憤怒。A. anger憤怒；B. regret后悔；C. sorrow悲傷；D. concern擔心，憂慮。由于Hannah是坐作者的車受傷了，所以作者以為Hannah的媽媽會很氣憤。故選A。

【13】考查動詞辨析。句意：她說“在你們這樣的年紀，我開車與我最好朋友的車追尾了，我徹底毀壞了我們倆的車。” A. attacked攻擊，侵害；B. dragged制動，拖動；C. damaged毀壞；D. removed轉移，排除。由兩個車追尾可知，是毀壞了兩個車。故選C。

【17】考查名詞辨析。句意：每當我想對別人犯了可感知的錯誤而生氣的時候，我就會想起她的原諒。A. need需要；B. effort 努力；C. wrong錯誤；D. threat威脅。由常識可知，別人犯了錯誤時才會生氣，故選C。

【18】考查動詞辨析。句意：傷疤慢慢地褪盡了，其他人都注意不到了。A. left離開；B. marked標記；C. shown表露；D. faded漸弱。由下文中別人看不到，但是我能注意到可知，傷疤沒有完全消失，只是變得越來越淺了。故選D。

【20】考查代詞辨析。句意：對我來說，那是原諒的標志。A. them 它/她/他們；B. you你（們）；C. me 我；D. her她。因為故事發(fā)生在我身上，所以只有我能注意到那個傷疤，對于我它是原諒的標志。故選C。
