Sohrab's gaze bounced from the kite to me. Back to the sky.
I took off running, my sneakers splashing rainwater from puddles, the hand clutching the kite end of the string held high above my head. It had been so long, so many years since I'd done this, and I wondered if I'd make a spectacle of myself. I let the spool roll in my left hand as I ran, felt the string cut my right hand again as it fed through. The kite was lifting behind my shoulder now, lifting, wheeling, and I ran harder. The spool spun faster and the glass string tore another gash in my right palm. I hadn't flown a kite in a quarter of a century, but suddenly I was twelve again and all the old instincts came rushing back.
I felt a presence next to me and looked down. It was Sohrab. Hands dug deep in the pockets of his raincoat. He had followed me.My heart quickened as I spun the spool to gather the loose string.
Then I saw we had company. A green kite was closing in.
His gaze flitted between our kite and the green one. His face was a little flushed, his eyes suddenly alert. Awake. Alive. I wondered when I had forgotten that, despite everything, he was still just a child.The green kite drew closer yet, now rising a little above us, unaware of the trap I'd set for it. "Watch, Sohrab. I'm going to show you one of your father's favorite tricks, the old lift-and-dive.The park shimmered with snow so fresh, so dazzling white, it burned my eyes. It sprinkled soundlessly from the branches of white-clad trees.
The green kite hovered directly above us now. "He's going for it. Anytime now, I said, my eyes flicking from Sohrab to our kite.The green kite hesitated. Held position. Then shot down. "Here he comes! I said.
I did it perfectly. After all these years. The old lift-and-dive trap. I'd already slipped him Hassan's trick. I pulled hard and our kite plummeted. I could almost feel our string sawing his. Almost heard the snap.
Behind us, people cheered. Whistles and applause broke out. I was panting. The last time I had felt a rush like this was that day in the winter of 1975, just after I had cut the last kite, when I spotted Baba on our rooftop, clapping, beaming.
I looked down at Sohrab. One corner of his mouth had curled up just so.
A smile. Lopsided. Hardly there. But there.
"Do you want me to run that kite for you
His Adam's apple rose and fell as he swallowed. The wind lifted his hair. I thought I saw him nod.
"For you, a thousand times over, I heard myself say.
Then I turned and ran.
It was only a smile, nothing more. It didn't make everything all right. It didn't make anything all right. Only a smile. A tiny thing. A leaf in the woods, shaking in the wake of a startled bird's flight.
But I'll take it. With open arms. Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the first flake melting.
I ran. A grown man running with a swarm of screaming children. But I didn't care. I ran with the wind blowing in my face, and a smile as wide as the Valley of Panjsher on my lips.
I ran.

答案以及解析
一、
1.答案:disappointing
解析:考查形容词。句意:据说这部电影是杰作,但我觉得它很令人失望。“find+宾语+宾语补足语”意为“认为某人/某物……”,为固定搭配。根据“It is said that the film was a masterpiece”和转折词but可知,此处是指“我”觉得它很令人失望,所以应用形容词disappointing表示“令人失望的”作宾语补足语。故填disappointing。
2.答案:should be published/was published
解析:考查虚拟语气。句意:—这是一篇好文章。—是的,这篇文章该发表了。此处为句型it is high time that后面的从句谓语动词要用过去式或用should加动词原形,但should不可省略;且article与publish构成被动关系,应用被动语态。故填should be published/was published。
3.答案:running
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:当你在刷牙时,不要让水一直流。分析句子可知,句中涉及“leave+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,根据句意可知,句中“water”与“run”为逻辑上的主谓关系,故应用动词的现在分词作宾补,“run”的现在分词为“running”,“leave sth. doing”意为“使某物一直做某事”。故填running。
4.答案:more stubborn
解析:考查形容词比较级。句意:我不知道你和你祖母谁更固执,你们谁也不肯妥协。根据“you or your grandmother”可知,此处是指两者之间的比较,应使用比较级。根据“neither of you will compromise”可知,两个人都很固执,所以是指谁更固执。在be动词is后应用形容词作表语。故填more stubborn。
5.答案:disappointment
解析:考查固定短语。句意:令我们失望的是,美国政府没有采取有效措施去控制疫情。表示“令人......。”英语用“to one’s +抽象名词”,因此空格处填名词disappointment。
二、
答案:1.develop sympathy for 2.starting with 3.is enthusiastic about 4.With the help of 5.provided; for 6.has a tendency to
解析: 1.考查固定短语和时态。句意:在这一点上,我们对所发生的事情产生同情,我们将承担我们的责任。根据后文what happened以及句意“产生同情”可知应用短语develop sympathy for,此处用一般现在时,主语为we,谓语用原形。故填develop sympathy for。
2.考查固定短语和非谓语动词。句意:老师总是以一首流行歌曲开始他的课。根据上文The teacher is always having his class以及句意“开始”可知应用短语start with,此处为have+宾语+宾补结构,start与class构成主动关系,故用现在分词。故填starting with。
3.考查固定短语和时态。句意:她对自己的事业充满热情,为社会做出了巨大的贡献。根据后文her career, and she makes great contributions to society以及句意“对……充满热情”可知应用短语be enthusiastic about,结合后文makes可知用一般现在时,主语为she,谓语用单数。故填is enthusiastic about。
4.考查固定短语。句意:在船长的帮助下,水手们终于登陆并感谢他。根据后文the captain以及句意“在……的帮助下”可知应用短语with the help of,句首单词首字母要大写。故填With the help of。
5.考查固定短语和时态。句意:这个组织为无家可归的难民提供了大量的食物。根据后文a great deal of food以及句意“为……提供”可知应用短语provide…for,结合语境应用一般过去时。故填provided和for。

答案:1-4 DACC
解析:1.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The kite was lifting behind my shoulder now, lifting, wheeling, and I ran harder. The spool spun faster and the glass string tore another gash in my right palm. I hadn't flown a kite in a quarter of a century, but suddenly I was twelve again and all the old instincts came rushing back.”(卷轴迅速旋转,风筝线再次在我右掌割开一道伤痕。我站住,转身,举头,微笑。我已经有25年没有放过风筝了,但刹那之间,我又变成十二岁,过去那些感觉统统涌上心头。)因为作者在放风筝时候,突然间感觉回到了12岁,过去那些感觉统统涌上心头,所以表示主人公珍视的不仅仅是放风筝,应该是比放风筝更加宝贵的事情。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据第九段到第十四段的描述I looked down at Sohrab. One corner of his mouth had curled up just so. A smile. Lopsided. Hardly there. But there. "Do you want me to run that kite for you His Adam's apple rose and fell as he swallowed. The wind lifted his hair. I thought I saw him nod. “For you, a thousand times over I heard myself say. Then I turned and ran. (我低头看着Sohrab。他的嘴角就这样卷着。一个微笑。不匀称的。几乎不存在。但是那里。“你想让我帮你追那只风筝吗 ”他的喉结在吞咽时忽上忽下。风吹动了他的头发。我想我看到他在点头。“为你,千千万万遍,”我听见自己说。然后我转身就跑。)可知Sohrab不说话,但是他的一些动作都能激起主人公的情感变化,故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I hadn't flown a kite in a quarter of a century, but suddenly I was twelve again and all the old instincts came rushing back.” (我已经有25年没有放过风筝了,但刹那之间,我又变成十二岁,过去那些感觉统统涌上心头。)由此可知,主人公对环境变化的感受主要是由他对过去童年的重新寻找过程引起的,故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二、三段“It was only a smile, nothing more. It didn't make everything all right. It didn't make anything all right. Only a smile. A tiny thing. A leaf in the woods, shaking in the wake of a startled bird's flight. But I'll take it. With open arms. Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the first flake melting.” (那只是一个微笑,仅此而已。这并没有让一切都好起来。这并没有让任何事情恢复正常。只有一个微笑。一个小的事情。树林里的一片树叶,因一只受惊的鸟的飞行而颤抖。但我会接受的。张开双臂。因为春天来了,它一次融化一片雪花,也许我刚刚目睹了第一片雪花融化。)由此可推断,这是父亲为孩子放风筝后,换来孩子的开心,让主人公感叹万千,由此推断这就是爱和拯救,故选C。
