I. 完形填空：
Several years ago, while
attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The
instructor asked us to list 1 in our past that we felt 2 of, regretted, or incomplete about and
read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very 3 process, but there’s always some 4 soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The
instructor then 5 that we find ways to 6 people, or take some action to right any
wrongdoings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 7 my communication.
Then the man next to me
raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 8 I remembered an incident from high
school. I grew up in a small town where was a Sheriff 9 of us kids liked. One night, my two
buddies and I decided to play a 10 on him. After drinking a few beers, we
climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in
bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b. The next day, almost the whole town
saw our glorious 11 . Within two hours, Sheriff
Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 12 found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later,
Sheriff Brown’s name 13 on my list. I didn’t even know if he was
still 14 . Last weekend, I dialed the information
in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his
number. After a few 15 , I heard, ‘Hello?’ I said,
‘Sheriff Brown?’ Pause. ‘Yes.’ ‘Well, this is Jimmy Calkins. And I want you to
know that I did it’ Pause. ‘I knew it!’ he yelled back. We had a good laugh and
a 16 discussion. His closing words were:
‘Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 17 your buddies got it off their chest, but
you were carrying it 18 all these years. I want to thank you for
calling me ... for your sake.’”

II. 阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
After giving a talk at a
high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had
kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interesting in meeting me, and it
would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive
to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy（肌肉萎缩症）. When he was born, the
doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were
told he would make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because
I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and
going for my dreams.
I spent over an hour talking
to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about
winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was
talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him
because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and
how one day he wanted to lift weigh with me.
When we finished talking, I
went to my briefcase and pulled out of the first gold medal I won and put it
around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success
and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then
took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned
that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will
show it to you.”
Last summer I received a
letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They
wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before.
Dear Rick,
My mom said I should send
you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know
that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live anymore. But I still
smile as much as I can.
I told you someday I was
going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to
do that. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to
Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to
you. Thank you for loving me.
Your friend,
Matthew
