On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three,  36   my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it  37  over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (癱瘓) from the chest down,   38   to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of  39   with lots of unexpected challenges( 挑戰(zhàn)). We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.

        40   what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of   41  difficulties. We came to learn that something  42   could happen in a disaster . All over the world people  43   Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a  44  center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of  45   had been received and sorted.

     As   46  , we opened letter after letter. They gave us   47   and became a source of strength for us. We used them to  48   ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a  49  , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or  50  in bed living happily and  51  .

    These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so   52   we offer one of them to you.

Dear Chris,

      My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your  53   accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this   54   challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you   55  .

Yours Sincerely,

解析:

36.解析:when當(dāng)……的時(shí)候。表示動(dòng)作緊接著發(fā)生。while強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生,一般延續(xù)時(shí)間較長(zhǎng)。從馬上摔下來時(shí)間較短,不能用while。

37.解析:jump跳。根據(jù)賓語a fence可確定答案。

38.解析:unable不能。從上文的paralyzed可以看出,由于Chris從馬上摔下來,高位截癱,不能正常呼吸。

39.解析:a life of convenience指為一種特定目的而進(jìn)行的生活。

40.解析:yet然而。上文講述了由于Chris從馬上摔下來,使生活充滿了意想不到的挑戰(zhàn),下文講述了正是這些挑戰(zhàn)使作者一家學(xué)到了很多東西。兩段是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

41.解析:share共同承擔(dān)。由于共同承擔(dān)遇到的困難而使這種磨難成了“禮物”。

42.解析:wonderful奇妙的。根據(jù)上文的gifts可判斷出作者從生活的磨難中找到了奇妙的東西。

43.解析:care for關(guān)心。從下文letters and postcards poured in every day可以看出全世界的人們都在關(guān)心著Chris。

44.解析:medical醫(yī)療的。根據(jù)上文Chris癱瘓了這件事可判斷出這是發(fā)生在醫(yī)療所。

45.解析:mail郵件。根據(jù)上文的letters and postcards可判斷答案。他們收到了35 000封郵件。

46.解析:從這句話的主語we可以看出,全家人一起把一封又一封的信打開。

47.解析:comfort安慰。因?yàn)镃hris癱瘓了,他們?nèi)胰耸艿搅四ルy,大家都來安慰他們。

48.解析:encourage鼓勵(lì),鼓舞。大家的關(guān)心和安慰給了Chris一家很大的鼓舞。

49.解析:根據(jù)上文的Funny可判斷出當(dāng)作者一家需要“大笑”時(shí),作者去閱讀標(biāo)有“Funny”的信件,尋求笑料。

50.解析:even甚至。even在這里表示情況更糟糕。借助于輪椅生活的人還可以活動(dòng),躺在床上臥床不起的人情況更加嚴(yán)重。

51.解析:successfully成功地。作者到標(biāo)有“Disabled”的信件中尋找那些在輪椅里甚至臥床不起但生活得幸福和成功的人們的建議。

52.解析:here在這里。指在這篇短文里。

53.解析:根據(jù)上文fell from his horse可判斷出這里說的是騎馬造成的事故。

54.解析:difficult challenge困難的挑戰(zhàn)。由于癱瘓使生活充滿困難。

55.解析:alive精力充沛。使作者一家精力充沛。

科目:高中英語 來源:2015屆江蘇阜寧縣溝墩中學(xué)高一下期期末考試英語卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

My name is Ralph and I am 42 years old. I work in a factory that I enjoy very much. On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.

Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty.

This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes. Someone started a rumor that I had dropped a pack of cigarettes and reached down to pick them up and that is how I lost my finger. This is not true. This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson.

We can ruin a person’s life by just a few bad words. There is an old saying that I will never forget: “Words and water are easily poured, but impossible to recover.” So please remember to watch what you say.

1.According to the author, his index finger on his right hand is almost as long as ________.

A. his middle finger on his right hand

B. his middle finger on his left hand

C. his thumb on his right hand

D. his thumb on his left hand

2.From the second paragraph, we know that the author ________.

A. was not happy with a short finger

B. had a good relationship with his wife

C. didn’t want to work any more in the factory

D. wanted to find an important job

3.The rumour about the author is that he lost his finger ________.

A. when he was picking up a pack of cigarettes that had fallen into the machine

B. because he was not careful and smoked when running the machine

C. because he was too sleepy to operate the machine properly 

D. when he was reaching down to fix something wrong in the machine

4.Which of the following can match the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A. Nothing is really beautiful but truth.

B. Bad words are meaningless.

C. Lies having short legs can do harm.

D. Words cut deeper than swords.
