2015届高考英语二轮复习 完形填空达标测试专题卷4
Just how popular was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Mini Very. Every year, her classmates voted her 31 the favourite student. She was so easy to 32 along with that the number of friends she had by far outnumbered (压倒)those of anyone else in her group.
One day the 10-year-o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld was 33 talking in the class and ordered to stay back as 34 . Staying back 35 doing something “useful”, like helping in the garden or library after school.
Now the school in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )which Mini 36 had a rule of sorts. Once a month, you could interchange your punishment schedule with someone else. If you 37 something else to do the day you were punished, you could 38 a friend to stand in for you. Of course, you had to return the favour, but in that same month itself. Otherwise the favour cancelled itself out. So the students who stayed back for others and wanted the favour repaid, found ways to be punished that very month. 39 it happened, on that day a very dear aunt was visiting Mini on her way back to America. That afternoon was the only 40 Mini had of seeing her for another five years. Mini needed someone to stand in for her. That was a problem though it was the last day of the month. So anyone who helped her, would do so out of friendship's sake alone. She sought out Preeti, her “best'”friend. "Oh no Mini, I can't," Preeti said. "I have to coach my brother for his nursery entrance test. The kid just can't seem to get into any decent (体面的)school." And she spent a good 41 of time telling Mini of her brother's problems.
"Mohit, 42 yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u stay back for me " Mini asked another friend who was dribbling a ball(运球) in the playground. She knew he often just hung around after school. "To help the librarian I 43 you'd told me earlier. I have to go to a relative's house with my father. Some other day perhaps," and 44 that Mohit fled.
By now, Mini was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) beginning to 45 if even one of her friends would 46 to stay. But she tried again. Three 47 friends and each one refused. Of course, no one said "no" outright. Mini was a great pal, after all. But each had a “reason”why they couldn't take her place that afternoon, and if only it were some other day...
So, after scho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ol Mini stayed back to help the 48 , Ms Mathur. And, when the remote Ms Mathur found her crying after everyone had left, it was she 49 surprised Mini by allowing her to leave to meet her aunt. "Some popularity I have," Mini murmured(嘟囔) to herself, as she went home. "I may have many friends, but in reality I have 50 ."

Years ago, when Bar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bara started looking for her first job, wise advisers urged, "Be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were. Enthusiastic people can 36 a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
"Nothing great was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ever 37 without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. 38 is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the 39 voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can't!"

As author and poet S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )amuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle(使起皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul." How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood The answer, I believe, 43 the word itself. “Enthusiasm” comes from the Greek and means "God within." And what is God within is but a long-lasting sense of 44 -- proper love of self and, from that, love of others.
Enthusiastic peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple also love what they do, 45 money or title or power. Patricia McIlrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, `I never made a dime until I stopped working for money.'" If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time hobby 46 the head of state who paints, the nun(修女) who runs marathons, and the executive who handcrafts furniture.
Elizabeth Layton ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of Wellsville was 68 47 she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had 48 her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, " I have to say, Layton is 49 a genius."

We can't 51 to w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aste tears on "might-have-beens." We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment 52 with all our senses -- finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the 53 picture of a six-year-old, and the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of 54 that puts a sparkle(火花) in our eyes, a lift in our steps and 55 the wrinkles from our souls.

23.I believe that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will.
In May 1977, I was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate 10 in Houston. My dad and I 41 a room with two double beds and a bathroom was too 42 for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad’s second marriage was 43 and my stepmother had 44 us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no 45_ what to do with me. And that’s when my other family 46 .
Barbara and Ro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )land Beach took me into their home 47 their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I 48 with them for the next seven years.

Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders. 50 I could tell, for the Beaches there was no 51 between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.

The Beaches knew 53 about me when they took me in – they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to _54 his kids. Before I went to live with the Beaches I had believed that life was entirely 55__ and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I had believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.
56 the Beaches, I wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld have become a bitter, cynical (愤世嫉俗的) woman. They gave me a(n) 57 that allowed me to grow and change. They kept me from being paralyzed by my _58 , and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.
