Question

A Love Note to My Mom

When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled (T臺展示) for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling   36   in your life. Little did I know you were   37   every penny you earned to go to   38   school.

I cannot thank you enough for   39   you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried   40   piles of law books. I was   41  . Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for   42   ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms   43   be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”

As young as I was, that statement kept   44   in my ears. I watched as you faced the   45   of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a   46   and a Mom of five kids. I was exhausted just watching you       47  . With your words of wisdom in my   48   mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world  49  . I set out to live my life filled with  50  , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.

Your words became my motto. I   51   found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary)   52   one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said, “Yes, I’ll try that.”

Encouraged by your   53  , I have forged ahead(毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and   54   meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m   55   it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

【解析】

1.B 注意搭配。一般高考英語完形填空會把原來的短語分開，通過一些句式來考查。

2.A 注意動賓意義上的結合，后面是penny 與金錢有關，所以選 save。

3.C 瞻前顧后，聯系上下文，選項（20）的后面有law books 題（23）后有lawyers 作為提示，因此填 law 為正確答案。

4.A 此題考查語法知識，屬于功能性考查。tell sb. something，句子缺少賓語，所以填what這個代詞。考查語法功能在高考英語完形填空試題中所占比例很輕。

5.D 此題考查語法知識，屬于功能性考查。埋頭讀書，很形象。所以選擇under。

6.C 自己不理解，為什么媽媽像自己的孩子一樣去記憶繁瑣的知識。考查過去分詞化形容詞。

7.B  for 介詞 表目的 學習的目的就是為了考試，所以選tests，符合題意。

8.D could 表示推斷，“有可能”之意。屬于語法功能考查。

9.A 選項后面的in my ears 是提示性的短語，在耳邊回蕩，選ringing 發出聲響之意，非常恰當。

10.C 后面講到與爸爸一起創辦公司，實屬不易，所以面臨諸多困難與挑戰。

11.D still 是提示詞，后面要填的肯定是前面所出現的，身為五個孩子的母親，還有本身的工作要做。母親原來做的就是模特，所以填model。

12.B 母親什么事情都身體力行，所以選in action. in charge是管理 負責的意思，沒有協作，共同之意。

13.C 受到媽媽的勤奮好學的思想的積極影響，作者的腦海中也充滿了一種激情浩蕩，蓬勃向上的朝氣，所以選youthful，意思是有朝氣的。本文從前至后洋溢著一種進取上進的思想，所以解題時要全文把握，抓住主流。

14.D 高考英語完形填空一般都會有一到兩題考查詞組。除了掌握詞組的本意以外，還要了解它的引申義，比如turn up 本意是把音量開大，引申義是出現的意思。想掌握一個詞組，要做到借助句子語境去理解，這樣記憶才能牢固。open up 打開，展現 的意思，就是作者的整個世界就像一扇門一樣的打開了，從此開始了自己的追夢之旅，取得成就無數。本題解題時要注意前后搭配及其全文整體思想。

15.A 后面的achievements 是個提示詞，沒有hope就沒有achievements，所以選hope，指作者無論做什么事情都滿懷希望，持有夢想。準確找到提示詞是決定答案的關鍵。

16.A 考查副詞詞義。選項前面的Your words became my motto. 是含有提示性的一句。作者經常把媽媽的富有進取的話語當作自己做事的座右銘，時刻激勵著自己。

17.C 瞻前顧后。前后是并列關系，表選擇。

18.B 表白 之意，考查名詞詞義，容易區分，較簡單。

19.D 考查副詞詞義。這里選eagerly， 表現了作者迫不及待的心情，時刻準備著去迎接每一個挑戰。

20.A you did it 是提示語，did 是做事的意思，所以后面選doing 是非常合理的。找對提示用語或提示詞是作出正確判斷的關鍵。
