Question

When he was 12, his parents       . He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed       him. No one showed kindness (友善) to him. His only friend was a dog named Tige.

One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped       , she dropped other bags. He came to help her.“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”She said kindly, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. These were       kind words he had ever heard. He watched her       she went far away, and he whistled（吹口哨）to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.

“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low

      he said to his dog,“You are a nice little dog!”Tige raised       ears as if（似乎）it understood.

“Uh! Even a dog likes it!”he said,“Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.”Tige waved its tail happily.

The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw       but a dirty boy. He washed his face       . Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed (震惊). From then on, he had a new life.

After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said,“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed (种子) of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness.       a great power it has!” If you show kindness to others, you will be an able man.

1.

2.

3.那位女士的包掉了，所以她停下来去捡，故排除A和B；pick up是一个固定的短语，当它的后面跟代词做宾语时，代词只能放在他们中间。故选D。

4.

5.那位女士走远。故选A。

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.连词及语境的理解。句意：我们大家都应该学会善良，它有着多么大的力量啊！这里考查的是一个感叹句，what的句型是what a/an +形容词+名词；而how的用法应该是how +形容词+a/an +名词；D选项的意思是好像……，不符合句意。故选A。

考点：故事类短文。
