I grew up in a community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him into a 31 village called Mijas, on condition that I took the car in to be 32 at a nearby garage. I readily accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas, and 33 to pick him up at 4 pm, then dropped off the car at the 34. With several hours to spare. I went to a theater. 35, when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two hours late!

I knew Day would be angry if he 36 I’d been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth. When I 37 there I apologized for being late, and told him I’d 38 as quickly as I could, but that the car had needed some major repairs. I’ll never forget the 39 he gave me. “I’m disappointed you 40 you have to lie to me, Jason.” Dad looked at me again. “When you didn’t 41. I called the garage to ask if there were any 42, and they told me you hadn’t  yet picked up the car. ” I felt 43 as I weakly told him the real reason. A 44 passed through Dad as he listened attentively. “I’m angry with 45. I realize I’ve failed as a father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about 46 I’ve gone wrong all these years.” “But Day, it’s 18 miles!” My protests and apologies were 47. Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him, 48 him all the way, but he walked silently.

Seeing Dad in so much 49 and emotional pain was my most painful experience. However, it was 50 the most successful lesson. I have never lied since.

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part. in. and live in.

With this unshakable belief, I, at. fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a. law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

1. What can be inferred about the author as a child?

A.　 He never watched TV.

B.　 He read what he had to.

C.　 He found reading unbelievable.

D.　 He considered reading part of his life.

2.The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means “　　　　 ”.

A. an idea

B. a sound quality

C. a way of writing

D. a world to write about

3. What effect does reading have on the author?

A. It helps him to realize his dream.

B. It opens up a wider world for him.

C. It makes his college life more interesting.

D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

4. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A. Why do I read?

B. How do I read?

高三英语完型填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

I grew up in Jamaica Plain, an urban community located on the outskirts of Boston, Massachusetts. In the 1940's it was a wholesome, specific little community. It was my home and I loved it there; back then I thought I would never leave. My best friend Rose and I used to collectively dream about raising a family of our own someday. We had it all planned out to live next door to one another.

Our dream remained alive through grade school, high school, and even beyond. Rose was my maid of honor when I got married in 1953 to the love of my life, Dick. Even then she joked that she was just one perfect guy short of being married, thus bringing us closer to our dream. Meanwhile, Dick aspired to be an officer in the Marines（海军）and I fully supported his ambitions. I realized that he might be stationed far away from Jamaica Plain, but I told him I would relocate and adjust. The idea of experiencing new places together seemed somewhat romantic to me.

So, in 1955, Dick was stationed in Alaska and we relocated. Rose was sad to see me leave, but wished me the best of luck. Rose and I remained in touch for a few years by regular phone call but after a while we lost track of one another. Back in the 1950's it was a lot more difficult to stay in touch with someone over a long distance, especially if you were relocating every few years. There were no email addresses or transferable phone number and directory lookup services were available at best.

I thought of her several times over the years. Once in the mid 1960's ,when I was visiting the Greater Boston area, I tried to determine her whereabouts but my search turned up empty-handed. Jamaica Plain had changed drastically in the 10 years I was gone. A pretty obvious shift in income demographics was affecting my old neighborhood. My family had moved out of the area, as did many of the people I used to know. Rose was nowhere to be found.

52 years passed and we never spoke. I've since raised a family of five, all of whom now have families of their own, and Dick passed away a few years ago. Basically, a lifetime has passed. Now here I am at the doorstep to my 80th birthday and I receive a random phone call on an idle Wednesday afternoon. "Hello?" I said. "Hi Natalie, it's Rose," the voice on the other end replied. "It's been so long. I don't know if you remember me, but we used to be best friends in Jamaica Plain when we were kid" she said.

We haven't seen each other yet, but we have spent countless hours on the phone catching up on 52 years of our lives. The interesting thing is that even after 52 years of separation our personalities and interests are still extremely similar. We both share a passion for several hobbies that we each picked up independently several years after we lost touch with one another. It almost feels like we are picking up right where we left off, which is really strange considering the circumstances.

Her husband passed away a few years ago as well, but she mailed me several photographs of her family that were taken over the years. It's so crazy, just looking at the photos and listening to her describe her family reminds me of my own; a reasonably large, healthy family. Part of me feels like we led fairly similar lives.

I don't think the numerous similarities between our two lives are a coincidence either. I think it shows that we didn't just call each other best friend we truly were best friend and even now we can be best friends again. Real friends have two things in common: a compatible personality and a strong-willed character. The compatible personality is what initiates the connection between two people and a strong-willed character at both ends is what maintains the connection. If those two ingredients are present in a friendship, the friendship is for real, and can thus sustain the tests of time and prolonged absence without faltering.

1.What was the dream of the writer and Rose when young except that_____?

A、They could have a family of their own

B、They could marry a promising husband

C、They planned to become neighbors

D、They could go to the same school

2.Why did they become apart when going older?

A、Because the writer got married ,so Rose was sad

B、They held a different opinion on their life

C、The writer’s husband had to move from one place to another

D、Their community had to be rebuilt

3.Which was not the reason for their loss in touch?

A、At that time ,there were no advanced communication methods

B、The job of the writer’s husband was changeable

C、There were no such services for them to keep the same number when moving

D、They hadn’t written to each for a long time

4.The writer failed to find Rose in the mid of 1960’s, because ____?

A、Rose left her homeland.

B、Rose wouldn’t like to see her

C、the surroundings there had changed a lot.

D、they lost in touch for a long time

5.What can we infer from the text?

A、 Rose had been making every effort to look for the writer

B、Compared with the writer, Rose lived an unhappy life.

C、Both of the husbands died before their wives.

D. It is a coincidence that there were a lot of similarities between them

6.We can learn from the passage that ____________.

A、 a friend in need is a friend indeed
