完形填空（A）（2023·陜西中考）Dear

Helen

Keller,

My

name

is

Amelia

Grant.

I

live

in

a

small

city.

There,

my

father

has

an

oil

factory.

At

the

age

of

eight,

something

terrible

happened

while

I

.

.1.

.

playing

near

an

oil

well.

It

made

me

lose

most

of

my

hearing.

A

lot

has

changed

for

me

.

.2.

.

then.

For

one

thing,

I

cannot

hear

music

like

before.

I

used

to

love

listening

to

my

mother

sing

songs.

When

I

first

lost

my

hearing,

I

was

sad

that

I

.

.3.

.

never

again

hear

my

mother

sing.

But

now

I

put

my

ear

to

her

chest

.

.4.

.

the

vibrations（震動(dòng)）of

her

voice.

Now,

I

feel

music

instead

of

hearing

it.

Also,

I

have

to

go

to

.

.5.

.

different

school

in

another

city—Texas

School

for

the

Deaf.

It

is

over

300

kilometers

away

from

my

hometown.

The

teachers

there

are

kind,

.

.6.

.

I

can

only

see

my

parents

during

holidays.

I

miss

them

very

much.

During

.

.7.

.

last

winter

holiday,

my

daddy

gave

me

a

book

you

wrote,

The

Story

of

My

Life.

From

it,

I

learned

a

lot

about

you.

When

you

first

became

deaf

and

blind,

you

had

a

hard

time

showing

people

.

.8.

..

Because

of

this,

you

would

sometimes

get

mad

and

make

.

.9.

.

noises.

Now

I

know

your

feelings

and

I

.

.10.

.

by

your

book.

I'm

going

to

write

to

you

in

a

few

days

to

tell

you

more.Yours,

Amelia

Long

ago

and

far

away,

there

lived

an

old

man

and

woman.

One

day,

while

the

woman

.

.1.

.

clothes

in

the

river,

she

saw

a

great

big

orange

on

the

water

moving

slowly

towards

her.

Excitedly,

she

caught

the

orange

and

decided

.

.2.

.

it

home

to

eat.

When

the

woman

began

to

open

the

orange,

suddenly,

out

jumped

a

little

lovely

boy!

The

man

and

woman

didn't

know

.

.3.

..

But

they

felt

very

happy

and

named

the

boy

Bobonaro,

or

Orange

Boy.

As

time

went

by,

the

boy

became

very

strong

and

brave.

Life

was

wonderful

until

some

robbers（盜賊）moved

onto

a

nearby

island.

The

robbers

were

always

stealing

.

.4.

.

things

from

the

people.

Bobonaro

wanted

to

drive

all

of

them

away.

So

he

put

some

of

his

mother's

delicious

food

into

.

.5.

.

box

and

left

home

with

it

for

the

island.

Along

the

way,

he

met

a

dog,

a

monkey

and

a

bird.

Bobonaro

gave

each

of

.

.6.

.

some

food

and

helped

them

a

lot.

So

they

became

good

friends.

.

.7.

.

he

told

them

about

his

problem,

each

of

the

three

friends

said,

“I

will

help

you

get

the

robbers

away.”

.

.8.

.

the

help

of

his

three

friends,

Bobonaro

drove

the

robbers

away

successfully.

He

and

his

friends

returned

home

with

the

valuable

things

that

.

.

by

the

robbers.

All

the

people

in

Have

you

ever

heard

of

the

story

The

Lion

and

the

Mouse?

One

day

long

ago,

.

.1.

.

lion

lay

sleeping

deeply

under

a

big

tree.

He

was

having

his

.

.2.

.

dream

that

he

had

ever

dreamed.

In

his

dream,

he

was

eating

a

zebra

（斑馬）.

Then,

a

little

mouse

ran

across

his

paw

（爪子）

and

the

lion

.

.3.

.

by

the

mouse.

He

reached

out

and

caught

the

mouse.

When

the

lion

was

ready

to

eat

it

.

.4.

.

his

food,

the

mouse

said,

“Oh,

please,

great

lion,

don't

eat

me.

Someday

I

may

help

you.”

The

lion

thought

it

was

funny,

“.

.5.

.

help

me,

little

thing?”

And

he

thought

that

a

small

mouse

was

not

much

food

anyway.

So

he

let

the

mouse

go.

A

few

days

later,

several

animal

.

.6.

.

entered

the

woods.

They

caught

the

lion

in

a

net

and

tied

him

down

with

ropes.

Then

they

wanted

.

.7.

.

a

big

truck

to

carry

the

lion

away.

So

they

left.

While

these

people

were

away,

the

mouse

came

by

and

.

.8.

.

the

lion.

Right

away,

he

started

to

cut

the

ropes

with

his

teeth.

Very

.

.9.

.,

he

broke

the

ropes

and

set

the

lion

free.

“Thank

you,

my

small

friend,”

said

the

lion.

“You

did

help

me

after

all.”

If

you

were

ninety

years

old,

what

would

you

plan

to

do?

Few

people

want

to

have

new

challenges

（挑戰(zhàn)）.

that

age.

However,

an

old

man

named

Jing

Kui

did

something

that

surprised

a

lot

of

people.

As

a

man

of

93,

he

met

a

challenge.

day,.

came

to

him

and

asked

whether

he

wanted

to

act

in

his

movie.

movie?”

asked

the

old

man.

“You've

been

a

barber

（理發(fā)師）.

I

believe

you're

the

right

man

for

my

movie

The

Barber.”

The

old

man

read

the

script

（劇本）

before

accepting

the

invitation.

.

.4.

.

he

knew

the

story

well,

he

still

needed

to

keep

all

the

words

He

finally

made

it

and

took

home

a

silver

cup

for

a

special

acting

prize.

The

movie

also

.

.both

national

and

international

prizes.

Jing

became

a

barber

when

he

was

young.

He

loved

the

job,

so

he

practiced

hard.

better

one.

In

his

eighties,

he

was

still

doing

the

same

job.

That

was

why

he.

by

director.

While

the

film

was

being

made,

the

director

had

his

worries

because

he

didn't

know.

Mr.

Jing

could

keep

it

going.

At

last,

when

the

filming

was

done,

the

director

was

really

pleased.

solved

all

Tommy

was

a

lizard（蜥蜴）who

lived

between

rocks.

One

day,

some

children

caught

him

when

he

.

.1.

.on

a

stone.

He

had

no

other

choice

but

to

run

away

from

danger

.

.2.

.

losing

his

tail.

After

the

children

left,

Tommy

returned

and

started

looking

for

his

tail

everywhere.

.

.3.

.

he

couldn't

find

it.

He

didn't

want

to

give

up

so

he

went

on

looking

for

it.

Days

and

months

passed,

and

Tommy

kept

asking

everyone

he

met

.

.4.

.

they

saw

his

tail.

One

day,

someone

he

asked

replied

to

him

in

surprise,

“Why

.

.5.

.need

two

tails?”

Tommy

turned

and

found

that

he

had

got

a

new

tail.

Seeing

.

.6.

.

tail,

he

felt

surprised

and

excited.

Then

he

decided

to

go

back

home.

On

the

way,

he

saw

his

old

tail

on

the

ground.

It

.

.7.

.

behind

a

stone

by

the

children.

It

was

ugly,

but

Tommy

was

happy

to

find

it.

He

picked

it

up

and

continued

his

journey.

Soon

he

met

a

duck.

“Why

are

you

carrying

such

an

ugly

old

tail

.

.8.

.

you

have

had

a

lovely

one?”

the

duck

was

surprised.

“Because

I

spent

months

looking

for

it,”

replied

Tommy.

“I

don't

think

you

need

it

now,

though,”

said

the

duck.

“.

.9.

.

it,

and

you

will

have

a

new

life.”

The

duck

was

right.

Tommy

understood.

So

he

decided

to

drop

his

old

tail

and

all

his

past

worries

there.

He

felt

at

ease（釋然）

and

.

.10.

.

continued

his

journey.

All

he

took

with

him

were

thoughts

of

Helen

Keller,

I'm

glad

to

write

to

you

again

to

tell

you

how

your

book

has

influenced

me.

I

read

that

you

really

brought

your

parents

lots

of

.

.1.

.

and

they

didn't

know

what

to

do!

Then

they

found

a

great

.

.2.

.

for

you—Ms.

Sullivan.

With

great

patience,

she

showed

and

taught

you

that

there

was

a

word

to

describe

every

object

and

idea.

Because

of

Ms.

Sullivan,

you're

now

able

to

.

.3.

.

and

write

by

touch.

I

also

read

that

you

love

to

ask

questions.

So

now,

I

do

the

same

thing

as

you

do.

It

really

helps

me

a

lot

to

.

.4.

..

I

am

learning

more

now

than

I

ever

did

before

I

lost

my

hearing.

Maybe

my

mother

is

.

.5.

.

when

she

says

“every

cloud

has

a

silver

lining.*”

Even

when

something

seems

really

bad,

a

.

.6.

.

thing

can

come

from

it.

I

have

a

best

friend

Anna

Bailey

in

my

city.

When

I

lost

my

hearing,

I

.

.7.

.

I

would

lose

this

friend.

I

thought

she

might

want

to

play

only

with

people

who

could

hear.

But

I

was

wrong.

Anna

stayed

.

.8.

.with

me.

She

even

helped

me.

She

told

me

I

would

get

used

to

being

deaf.

“It

might

take

some

time,”

she

said.

“But

you'll

find

your

feet.**”

She

made

me

feel

.

.9.

..

When

I

first

heard

about

you,

I

was

really

.

.10.

.

and

interested.

Even

though

you

are

deaf

and

blind,

you

can

do

almost

anything!

You

even

went

to

college.

You

are

like

a

hero

to

me.

I

hope

that

one

day

I

can

visit

you.Yours,

Amelia

Grant

One

morning

when

Liu

Tao

woke

up,

he

jumped

out

of

his

bed

happily.

He

had

a

.

.1.

.

idea.

He

would

build

a

tree

house!

Liu

Tao

asked

his

dad,

“Is

it

OK

if

I

build

a

tree

house

in

the

old

tree

outside

the

.

.2.

.?”

“It's

not

only

OK,”

said

Dad.

“I'll

even

.

.3.

.

you

build

it.”

When

they

finished

breakfast,

both

of

them

went

out

to

the

.

.4.

.

in

their

garden

and

began

to

measure

（測(cè)量）.

Then

they

got

some

boardsand

started

to

.

.5.

.

them

with

a

saw

（鋸子）.

When

the

pieces

were

ready,

Liu

Tao

climbed

up

in

the

tree

and

Dad

handed

him

the

boards.

They

fixed

the

boards

to

some

.

.6.

.

branches.

Some

birds

were

singing

around

them

but

they

had

no

time

to

enjoy

the

.

.7.

.

of

the

birds.

Building

a

tree

house

was

much

work

and

lots

of

things

were

waiting

for

Liu

Tao

and

his

dad.

They

worked

the

whole

.

.8.

..

They

even

put

a

roof

over

the

tree

house

so

that

it

could

keep

.

.9.

.

in

the

rain.

At

last,

they

finished

just

before

dark.

Early

that

night,

Liu

Tao

asked

his

brother

if

he

could

borrow

a

sleeping

bag.

“Sure,”

said

the

brother.

“But

.

.10.

.

I

go

with

you?”

“Of

course,

you

can,”

Liu

Tao

smiled.

Then

they

both

ran

upstairs

to

get

ready.1.(

Long

long

ago,

there

was

a

young

man

called

Karim.

He

.

.1.

.

caps

to

make

a

living

around

several

villages.

One

day,

he

was

passing

through

a

forest.

He

felt

.

.2.

.

and

wanted

to

have

a

rest.

He

saw

a

tall

mango

tree

and

put

his

bag

of

caps

beside

him

and

slept

under

the

tree.

When

he

woke

up,

he

.

.3.

.

there

weren't

any

caps

in

his

bag!

“Oh,”

he

said

to

himself,

“did

anybody

.

.4.

.

all

my

caps?”

But

then

he

noticed

that

the

mango

tree

was

full

of

cute

monkeys

wearing

colorful

caps!

He

.

.5.

.

at

the

monkeys

and

they

shouted

back.

He

made

faces

at

them

and

then

the

monkeys

made

faces,

too.

He

.

.6.

.

his

own

cap

angrily

and

put

it

on

the

ground.

The

.

.7.

.

monkeys

threw

their

caps,

too!

Karim

didn't

waste

a

second,

collected

the

caps

and

was

on

his

way.

Fifty

years

later,

young

Abdul,

grandson

of

Karim,

who

also

sold

caps,

was

going

through

the

same

.

..

The

same

thing

happened

to

him—the

monkeys

took

all

of

his

caps

when

he

was

asleep

under

the

tree.

Abdul

didn't

know

.

.9.

.

he

should

do,

and

suddenly

he

remembered

the

story

his

grandfather

told

him.

Then

Abdul

waved

at

the

monkeys,

danced…

.

.10.

.,

he

threw

his

cap

on

the

ground.

Just

then,

one

monkey,

walked

up

to

Abdul,

laughed

and

said,

In

2007,

Jim

and

his

friend

Dylan

moved

into

their

new

apartment

on

22nd

Street

in

Manhattan.

The

previous

tenant

（之前的租戶）

told

them

something

“Every

over

Christmas,

for

But

in

Every

Once,

in

a

small

village,

lived

a

family

with

eight

children.

Two

of

the

children

loved

.

.1.

.

very

much,

but

the

family

was

so

poor

that

it

was

impossible

to

send

both

of

them

to

study

at

the

art

college

at

the

same

time.

After

many

discussions,

the

two

boys

finally

.

.2.

.

a

plan.

They

would

toss

（拋）

a

coin.

The

loser

would

go

down

into

the

mines

（煤礦）

and,

with

his

earnings

（賺的錢）,

.

.3.

.

his

brother

studying

at

the

college.

Then,

when

the

brother

who

won

the

tossfinished

his

studies,

after

four

years,

he

would

support

the

other

brother

studying

at

the

.

.4.

..

James

won

the

toss

and

Jack

went

down

into

the

mines.

James

worked

with

all

his

heart

and

his

paintings

were

much

.

.5.

.

than

those

of

most

of

his

teachers,

and

by

the

time

he

.

.6.

.,

he

was

beginning

to

make

a

lot

of

money

for

his

paintings.

When

James

returned,

the

family

held

a

big

dinner

for

his

great

success.

Soon

after

the

meal

began,

James

.

.7.

.

up

from

his

seat

to

drinka

toast

（敬酒）

to

his

dear

brother.

He

said,

“Jack,

now

you

can

go

to

the

art

college

and

your

.

.8.

.

will

come

true.

I

will

take

care

of

you.”

But

Jack

said

.

.9.

.,

“Brother,

the

four

years

in

the

mines

has

done

too

much

to

my

hands,

so

it's

too

late.

Now

I

can't

even

hold

a

glass.”

To

show

his

great

love

and

respect,

James

drew

his

brother's

.

.10.

.

with

fingers

towards

the

sky.

He

called

his

drawing

“The

Praying

Hands”,

which

became
