高二英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
One day my 13-year-old daughter told me that she was going to spend the afternoon at her friend Jesse’s house. I didn’t doubt it until I called Jesse’s number to remind Liz that it was her turn to walk the dog, and Jesse’s mom picked up the phone and said, “I thought she and Jesse were planning to be at your house.” It turned out that the two of them had decided to hang out at a coffee shop instead. When I questioned my daughter, she replied coldly, “What’s the big deal? You’re such a psycho(精神变态者).”
Can you say it is right or wrong for them to behave like that? Their changeable personalities leave you feeling angry and guilty at the same time. In fact, if your kids don’t annoy you from time to time, you’re not doing your job.
“There’s nothing wrong about being angry with your child,” Says Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D., author of The 10 Basic Principles of Good Parenting. “Conflict is natural when your innocent, lovely child turns into an adolescent who can hardly tolerate (忍受) you. It’s part of the process of separation.” Kids insisted on their individuality with behavior to purposely drive you crazy. It’s their way of saying, “I am my own person” -- but doing it in a context that’s safe and that has clear limits.
So when your little darling changes into a silent person who still expects meals, clothing, and transportation, don’t panic. Here’s how to handle some common problems without losing your temper or your self-respect.
1.It can be learned from the first paragraph that ________.
A. Jesse’s mother told a lie
B. the writer was too sensitive
C. Liz told a lie to her mother
D. the writer’s daughter stayed at Jesse’s house
2.By saying “In fact, if your kids don’t annoy you from time to time, you’re not doing your job”, the writer probably means that _________.
A. when you are doing a job, your kids shouldn’t annoy you
B. parents should be responsible for children’s bad behavior
C. parents shouldn’t tolerate their children’s bad behavior
D. it’s understandable for kids to annoy their parents
3.What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. It’s right for parents to be angry with their children.
B. It’s allowed for children to do anything as they like.
C. It’s bad behavior for children to drive their parents angry.
D. It’s normal for adolescents to go against the wishes of their parents sometimes.
4.What would the writer state in the following paragraphs?
A.How to be good parents.
B.How to be good children.
C.Rules for children to follow.
D.How to deal with adolescents’ common problems properly.

Father was diagnosed with brain cancer during the second half of my senior year. It is a time when all the big events in a girl’s life are happening. However, though in poor condition, father managed to be present at every occasion. His doctor said that by focusing on all my future events, it helped my dad live longer. I guess so because nine days after my high school graduation, my father died.
For the next week after his funeral, I didn’t leave my room or even to shower. Finally, my mom stormed in and said, “Megan, get up. I have something for you to read.” My father’s doctor had sent my mother a letter. It contained the typical “I am sorry for your loss” sentences. But this letter was far from typical. I could physically see the pain this loss had caused him. In his letter, he wrote about how my father inspired him to change his life and the way he worked. He expressed his desire to become a person like my father, who cared more for the people around him and put everyone else first.
After I finished reading it, I decided to live my life. I went outside and got a job as a summer camp advisor. I worked from dawn to dark every day that summer. I gave everything I had to the kids and slowly they helped to heal(治愈) me without even realizing what they were doing.
My summer mirrored parts of the life my father led in his last few days. I had spent the summer months giving myself to children. It was not the senior summer I had always imagined. It wasn’t all about me. I had learned the final lesson my father was teaching me, that in order to lead a rich and happy life, you must learn how to give yourself to others. By helping them you really are helping yourself.
1.The doctor sent the author’s mother a letter mainly to ________.
A.encourage the author’s mother to live a happy life
B.appreciate the author’s father’s influence on him
C.mourn the author’s father’s death
D.show typical concern for the family
2.What do we know about the author’s senior summer?
A.She got a job as her father had expected.
B.She gained quite a lot while helping the kids.
C.She worked hard every day to forget her father.
D.She spent it the way she had always wanted.
3.Which word can best describe the author’s father?
A.Fearless. B.Generous C.Cautious. D.Selfless.
4.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.Dad's Final Lesson B.My Senior Summer
C.My Father's Death D.An Important Letter

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
During my second year of college I had to look for another place to live in. One Sunday after church the pastor(牧师) 36 me to stay in his daughter’s room because she was studying abroad for one year.
To be honest, I really didn’t want to stay with the pastor’s family. 37 then he old me how much rent would be—a very 38__ figure that included one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about it and 39 to move in.
At the end of the term I had planned to make 40 living arrangements, since the daughter was to 41 home. But they suggested I 42 a room with their son. By this time I seemed to have been adopted(收养)into their 43 -- her people became my people. I 44 accepted the offer.
As I emptied the daughter’s bedroom, I thought it might be 45 to have a little sister. But when I later met her, I 46 that this idea of looking after her might be more interesting than I first 47 .
We finally fell in love, married, and have been 48 one another for many years. There have been times that life turned out to be 49 than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go 50 _ largely because we knew that somebody deeply cared.
It isn’t about marriage—it’s about 51 _ . It’s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as 52 _ as family. It’s about anybody who can say, “I’ll be 53 -- you can count on me. I’ll try to look after you and 54 I will need you to look after me.”
Is there somebody you can 55 ? And is someone counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is someone to look after, and when someone is looking after us.
