My Daughter Taught Me a Lesson

When 1 earthquake hit a small town, many houses fell down. After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were 2 trouble.

One Sunday, while I 3 (read) a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were 4 (unlucky) than themselves. I said to my seven - year - old twins, Brad and Brett, and three - year - old Meghan, “We have so much, but these poor people now have nothing. We’ll share what we have with 5 (they).”

I filled a box with food and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys 6 (choose) their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched 7 (quiet), as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few 8 (minute) later, she came back with Lucy, her much - loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. “Oh, dear,” I said. “You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said, “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she 9 (make) another little girl happy, too.”

I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It’s easy to give something that we don’t want anymore, 10 hard to give what we cherish(珍惜), isn’t it?

答案： 语篇解读 本文为记叙文。一场地震发生后,作者告诉孩子可以捐赠一些东西给有需要的人,但女儿想捐赠自己非常喜爱的玩偶。孩子的至纯至善给作者上了一课。
1.an 考查不定冠词。此处指一场地震袭击了一个小镇,空处填不定冠词;earthquake 以元音音素开头,所以填 an。
2.in 考查固定搭配。此处指所有的报纸都报道了许多关于陷入困境的一些家庭的故事。be in trouble“在困境中”,故填 in。
3.was reading 考查时态。此处指当“我”正在读报纸时,一张特殊的照片触动了“我”。此处为过去进行时,从句主语为 I,故填 was reading。
4.unluckier 考查形容词比较级。根据设空处后面的 than 可知,此处填比较级,故填 unluckier。
5.them 考查代词。空处位于介词 with 后,应用宾格,故填 them。
6.to choose 考查动词不定式。encourage sb. to do sth.“鼓励某人做某事”,故填 to choose。
7.quietly 考查副词。副词修饰动词,quiet 的副词形式为 quietly。故填 quietly。
8.minutes 考查名词复数。根据 A few 可知,此空填名词复数,故填 minutes。
9.will make 考查时态。此处指作者的女儿表示或许她的玩偶 Lucy 将来也会使另一个女孩快乐。时态用一般将来时,故填 will make。
10.but 考查连词。根据空前的 easy 及空后的 hard 可知,句意发生转折,所以填表转折的连词 but。
