Question

Recently I was invited to attend a party that helps children seriously injured in the big earthquake that happened this May. I went because I  31  .

At the party, all the children were given paints in bright, beautiful colors. After a short time, as I  32 , I saw blue clouds, orange sunrises and purple flowers. The 33 were all bright.

The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was  34  and lifeless. It lacked (缺乏) the bright colors that his fellow (同伴) “_35_” had used.

I thought maybe he took the only paint that was  36  and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his  37  was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was very  38 . He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is  39  anyone can do that will help.”

I certainly  40  why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t  41  that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be  42  to make you recover better…but we can do things  43  giving bear hugs (拥抱), which will  44  when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one  45  he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would burst with the  46  I felt for this sweet boy.

As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to  47  home. I turned around and found that standing there with  48  on his face was the little boy. He said, “My heart is  49  colors. It is getting brighter. Those  50  really do work.” On my way home I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too.

【解析】

1.考查动词。根据文意可知作者去参加晚会是因为作者关心在地震中受伤的那些孩子。

2.考查动词短语。根据语境可知作者环顾四周，看那些孩子画的东西。look around环顾四周；look up向上看，（在词典等中）查找；look down俯视；look over检查，查看。

3.考查名词。结合上文的all the children were given paints in bright, beautiful colors及下文The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart可知此处是孩子们画的pictures。

4.考查形容词。根据本句中的转折连词but可知小男孩的画与别人的画不一样，又根据本空后的“and lifeless”可知填空词的意思是“消极的”。小男孩所画的心暗淡，无生命。

5.考查名词。根据语境可知小男孩所画的心缺乏同伴所采用的那些明亮的色彩。因为那些孩子都画画了，所以作者称他们为artists。

6.考查动词。根据“I thought maybe he took the only paint that was _______and it just happened to be dark. ”可以推断出作者原以为只剩下那种暗淡的颜料了。

7.考查名词。根据文中的“The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, ”, “My heart is ______ colors. . . I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too. ”可知小男孩讲他的心是那种暗淡的颜色。

8.考查形容词。根据上下文语境可以推断出小男孩病得很严重。

9.考查代词。根据下文“I said, ‘It isn’t ______that there is nothing anyone can do to help. . . ’”的提示可知小男孩认为任何人都无法帮助他。

10.考查动词。根据语境以及作者去参加这个晚会的原因可推知作者能理解小男孩伤心的原因。

11.考查形容词。根据作者后面的做法以及他的想法可知作者认为小男孩的看法不对。

12.考查形容词。根据后文可判断出作者对小男孩表达的是即使其他人不能帮助他恢复得更好, ……。

13.考查介词。根据语境可知作者举的是一个例子。

14.考查动词。根据上文提到的help可知作者此处表达的是在难过的时候做一些像拥抱似的事情会对小男孩有用。

15.考查连词。根据语境可知作者将很高兴给小男孩一个拥抱以便小男孩理解他的意思。so that以便；as though仿佛，好像；even if即使，虽然；in case如果，万一。

16.考查名词。这里指作者对那个可爱的小男孩的一种爱。

17.考查动词。根据下文“On my way home I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too. ”的提示可知本句表达的是作者准备回家。head作动词时，可意为“朝向，前进”。

18.考查名词。小男孩的心变得明亮了，他的脸上应该是有微笑的。

19.考查动词。根据文章最后一句“. . . I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too. ”可知本句小男孩在讲他的心改变颜色了，变明亮了。
