In Thanks for What We Have

I sat and waited for Kathleen to speak. “Annie,” she said, “A food bank that serves the elderly is asking for ______. I’d like you to organize the event” “Well, errr…sure.” As I stuttered(结巴地说) through my ______, all I could think was, “What? Why me?”

I walked back to my office wondering where to ______. This was a time when the economy was ______. The rise in unemployment forced many of my coworkers to ______ to survive. How could I ask them for more?

That evening I drove home with negativity. Then I remembered a time when my father was out of work. Mom wrote a note to Jim, the milkman, asking him not to ______ any more milk. Two days later Jim picked up the ______ and left four liters of milk. He wrote his message, which read, “Kids need milk.” The milk delivery ______ as usual and Jim never collected a cent ______ us.

The memory of Jim’s ______ fired my enthusiasm. Perhaps I’d be in for a pleasant surprise.

The next morning I ______ signs about our food drive all over the cafeteria and on every notice board I could find. Each sign said, “Food drive to support the poor elderly! ______ of non-perishable(不易腐的) foods are greatly needed.”

Within a few days I had to locate empty office space to ______ the massive number of contributions we had ______. One of my coworkers, Maggie, made the rounds with me every day from one department to another to pick up the canned goods and other ______. Though over sixty, she pushed our food trolley around with the ______ of a woman half her age.

I asked her where she got all the enthusiasm. She said, “with the unemployment rate touching 10 percent, I can’t think of a better way to be ______ for keeping our jobs when so many have ______ theirs. Sure money is ______. But when isn’t it? People need food.”

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

One cold morning in winter, I went alone to a hillside to do some hunting. I sat there waiting for about an hour. Suddenly, a big beautiful deer appeared less than 20 feet away from me. There was no cover near him. Surely I could shoot him.

To my surprise, he came toward me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid. For this was not a youngster, but a fully grown-up one. He must have known about men and their guns. But this deer came closer, and I still waited. His big eyes never moved away from my face. His wonderful head with a set of antlers (鹿角) was clear in sight.

I was getting a bit nervous as he walked closer. A big deer can do a lot of damage. Well, he walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me.

What happened next was hard to believe. But it all seemed quite natural. I held out my hands and scratched his head right between the antlers. And he liked it. The big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head.

I scratched and touched his head and body. His nose touched my shoulder. I fed him with my last sandwich. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t, either. Not after that. I just watched him go, a strong deer carrying a proud head.

I picked up my gun, and started walking back. Suddenly, I heard two shots, one after another. If you have hunted much, you will know what two shots mean. They mean a kill. I had forgotten that there were other hunters around. You will now understand why I gave up hunting from that day on.

1. How the deer behaved toward the writer shows that______.

A. it pretended to be friendly to the writer

B. it was quite friendly to the writer

C. it was too scared to run away

D. it wanted to attack the writer

2.You can infer from the passage that ______.

A. the writer had waited for more than an hour before the deer appeared

B. the writer was a little nervous at first as he had been attacked by a big deer before

C. the writer felt afraid to kill the deer the moment the deer walked up to him

D. a grown-up deer usually will not get close to men with guns

3.After reading the whole passage, we can know that the passage is written in a(n)_____ tone.

A. sad　　 B. excited　　 C. worried　 D. happy
