9、脚)踝”；direction “方向”；altitude “高度”。2C句意：然后事实震撼了我，他是个盲人，他最后看见的一件事就是他女儿的出生。上文的“blind”已暗示。3Ablank“空白的”。根据句意可知，眼睛失明后，什么也看不到了，所以就是一片空白。最大的干扰项empty，强调事物内部空洞无物。4CDavid多灾多难，母亲死于癌症，虚弱的父亲只得把他交给政府来养。give upto“把交给”。5A祸不单行，与他相依为命的导盲犬为了救他也遇难了。from bad to worse“每况愈下”，故A项正确。6B根据句意可知，两年前，他心爱的导盲犬把他从一辆行驶的卡车下拉开。结果，他得救了，
10、而爱犬却不幸遇难。path“道路(the space in front of sth as it moves)”。7C根据句意可知，狗遇难了。A项如表示遇难应用be killed；B项不符合语境；D项所描述的和前面的境况不一致，故应选C。8B根据上下文可知，“obstacles(障碍)”应为空格内所填词的宾语，所以空格处应表示“克服(overcome)”。9B根据倒数第三段的倒数第二句中“Since this is an emergency room”可知，应选B。an emergency room“急诊室”。10Dcome by“设法得到”。根据句意可知，完成这项工作相当难。11A句意：这是
11、一个为帮助盲人而创建的组织。be intended to do“用来；为而准备”。12A句意：他想做一份冲洗X射线胶片的工作，因为这份工作大家都必须在黑暗中完成。根据常识可知，空格处应表示“每个人”。“_12_，not just he，must do”是定语从句，修饰先行词something。13C根据句意可知，做这份工作要在黑暗中进行，包括视力正常的人。normal“正常的”。14. D根据上下文可知，这家组织给好几家医院打了电话，尽管那些医院愿提供前三个月的薪水，但是都没有下文。此处应用even though(尽管)引导让步状语从句。15B句意：David独自在一间充满化学品气味的房间工作
12、。16C句意：他不能戴手套，否则他就无法感觉。otherwise“否则”。17Aat risk“处于危险中”与out of danger “脱离危险”对应。18B句意：他每年赚2万美元，但是他的动机远远超越了金钱。根据上下文可知，此处应表示“超越(beyond)”。19C句意：通过工作，我可以实现我的价值，那才是最重要的。actualize my own value“实现个人的价值”。blindness“失明”；income“收入”；experience“经历”。20D句意：他是一个多么伟大的值得我们学习的榜样啊！followexample“以为榜样”。.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，

16、the time came for me to say goodbye to my friends in the village，I wanted to reward the old woman9._the trouble I had caused10._.【答案与解析】1broke本文讲述的是已经发生的一个故事，根据上文“was setting”的时态，可知break应用过去时。注意它的拼写形式。2who他们就谁能荣幸招待“我”争论不休。这是一个宾语从句，who在从句中作主语。3asreceive招待，这里指把“我”作为一个客人招待。as作为，常见的短语有consideras；regarda
17、s；treatas等等。4settledsettled此处是过去分词，表示“我”被安置到一个虽小但整洁的房间。5a此处考查的是冠词，二十千米远的一个小镇，表泛指。6where本题考查的是定语从句，town是先行词，关系副词where在从句中作状语。村长用他的马把“我的”车拉到了20千米远的小镇上，在那里有一个汽车修理厂。7Other/Some注意单词的首字母应该大写。8merrily注意应用merry的副词形式，修饰talk。句意为：我们一起饮酒，高兴地谈到深夜。9forfor表示原因。“我”想报答老妇人是因为“我”给她带来了麻烦。rewardfor为而酬报。10her此处缺少代词，cause
