高三英语完形填空困难题查看答案及解析
One day I was walking home along the street with my iPod on, when suddenly my headphones(耳机) were knocked off my head and a man threw his arm around my neck, saying “Just be quiet.” I was being attacked, and this man’s arm was gripping (紧夹) onto me! I started screaming and tried to pull him off me, but failed. He was forcing me to walk towards the back of an auto repair shop and he just kept saying: “Be quiet.”
My mind froze with fear. Then I heard my great-grandmother’s voice in my head. She was saying: “Come on now, I know you are stronger than that!” She was the rock in our family until she died four years ago.
I have never had any self-defense(自卫) training, but I went for it—I let out a loud scream as I kicked my leg back into his shin(胫骨)! He let go of me and I ran off. When I looked back to see if he was running after me, I saw he was running in the opposite direction. Then I ran like crazy to a nearby drugstore.
I asked the girl at the counter for the phone and called my mom. She picked me up five minutes later and I explained what happened through sobs. “I am calling the police!” She exclaimed. When we got home, two officers were waiting for us and I told them what had happened.
After my experience, I was afraid to do anything. Things slowly got better, but I still don’t like anyone going near my neck.
The fear isn’t totally gone—after all, the guy is still out there somewhere. But I had a new understanding of my own strength. I never expected to be able to fight off an attacker. I am stronger than I realized.
1. How did the author get rid of the man?
A. Her great-grandmother came and helped.
B. She used all her strength to pull him off her.
C. Her loud scream scared the attacker and people came to help.
D. Her great-grandmother’s words gave her the strength to defend herself.
2. After the author escaped from the man, _________.
A. she called the police
B. she called her mother
C. she screamed to get more attention
D. she looked back to remember his appearance
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The accident left no influence on the author now.
B. The attack made the author more confident in a way.
C. The author Suddenly remembered some self-defense moves.
D. The author was so frightened that she did nothing to fight back.
4. What might be the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To show the importance of self-defense training.
B. To warn teenagers of possible dangers on the way to school.
C. To show how brave she was while she was being attacked at that time.
D. To share her experience and tell us that we are perhaps not as weak as we thought we were.

The story happened years ago，when my daughter was still little.
I was driving across the country with my daughter to1 my husband. Since I intended to get to my destination before supper time, I drove 2 for a long time without a stop. Then after driving for many miles, I became tired and needed to stop for a break to get 3 .
I found a rest area. It was mostly deserted, in a quiet area of the highway. I parked the car and carried my 4 into the restroom. When I came out I saw a middle-aged 5 wandering around. Feeling 6 about that, I asked the lady. What 7 me was: they were waiting for us!
The lady told me that she and her husband wanted to see us safely back into our 8 . She explained that sometimes rest areas could be a 9 place for a young lady like me. She told me that she had a daughter almost my age, so they wanted to make sure that I got safely back on my way.
I was very touched by their 10 . Being young, and probably naive to the potential 11 of rest areas, it had never occurred to me that there was any possibility of something going wrong. I 12 them for their kindness. My daughter and I continued our journey and 13 our destination safely.
I never got their names but years have passed and their kindness is still not 14 . Sometimes angels come in make-up and just because you can’t see their 15 it doesn’t mean they aren’t angels.

I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.
As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leatherjacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the Wheel，” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.
Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.
1.The writer's good mood ended when________.
A．he heard news between songs
B．he had to stop at a red traffic light
C．he heard a rich man broke the law
D．he saw four leatherjacketed bikers
2.What were the four bikers doing at the traffic lights?
A．Having a bicycle race in the street.
B．Selling helmets to the passersby.
C．Raising money to help kids in need.
D．Preparing for Christmas holidays.
3.What does “bolstered” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A．Destroyed. B．Improved. C．Decreased. D．Exploded.
4.The writer wants to tell us that we should ________.
A．have faith in young people B．judge others by their actions
C．change our attitude to society D．manage to help others in need
