Jeff Agar, 59, is helping Johnny experience life to the fullest by . .5. . every triathlon together with Johnny. "I'm not . .6. . of triathlons," Jeff joked. "This probably won't be in the top things I'd select to do... I just want to give Johnny the . .7. . to do it." When Johnny swims, he pulls; when Johnny runs, he pushes.
Johnny himself never stops . .8. .. In last year's triathlon, Johnny got out of his wheelchair and . .9. . to walk the last steps towards the finish line. "You can tell a person thank you . .10. ., but until it was turned into . .11. ., showing gratitude over and over doesn't mean anything," Johnny said.

D
【解析】根据空后的"who suffered from a brain disease"和下文描述可知,Johnny患有脑部疾病,参加铁人三项对他来说曾是不可能的。accessible"可到达的,可接近的,可进入的"。
易错点拨
本题易误选B项。铁人三项对Johnny来说的确是不适合的,但空处所在句中的"once"表明这是过去的情况,强调对比和变化。Johnny的身体状况没有发生变化,现在还是不适合的。故可排除B项。

名师点津
空处位于一句习语之间,所填内容为除了意志外能促使Agar父子俩前进的要素,解答时需综合全文内容、人物特点和人物情感。文章的主线为Johnny对铁人三项的爱和父亲Jeff对儿子的爱,故devotion一词符合语境。
5.( ) A.watching B.comparing C.entering D.recording
C
【解析】根据下文的"When Johnny swims, he pulls; when Johnny runs, he pushes"可知,Jeff通过陪儿子参加比赛帮助儿子充分体验生活。enter"报名参加"。

The creature disappeared into the darkness, carrying Merda's forearm with it.
No pain yet, only terror. Then he realized he was the only one who could get himself out of this. He positioned himself up against the trunk of a tree and waited for dawn.
Merda在橘子林里徘徊了几个小时,尔后返回树林,进入了一片沼泽地。他试图寻找方向,但失败了,夜幕也随之降临。夜里的湖水无比刺骨,就在Merda奋力游向对岸的时候,水流阻碍了他的进程。他一直挣扎,就在此时,一只短吻鳄映入眼帘。短吻鳄迅猛出击,咬住了Merda的前臂,把他拽到了水下。搏斗中,Merda的前臂被短吻鳄咬了下来,短吻鳄随之而去。Merda庆幸自己能在危情中活下来,他靠着树,静候黎明的到来。

B
【解析】根据上文中的"wandering among the endless orange trees"和下文中的"he re-entered the woods"可知,Merda在无边无际的橘子林里徘徊,看不到文明的迹象(sign),所以他只能重新进入树林。conflict"冲突,争执,争论";identity"身份,本体,个性";guarantee"保证,担保"。
2.( ) A.sank B.rose C.shone D.appeared
A
【解析】根据下文中的"Darkness was falling"可知,夜幕降临,太阳落山(sank)了。rise"(数字、 数量或价值)增加,提高,升起";shine"发光,照耀,照射"。

6.( ) A.river B.bank C.port D.coast
B
【解析】根据上文中的"The water was surprisingly cold, especially as it deepened"可知,Merda此时在水中。因此,他"started out paddling strongly"是为了到达对岸(bank)。port"港口城市,港市,口岸";coast"海岸,海滨"。

命题动向
完形中的熟词生义
高考试题对熟词生义的考查呈上升趋势。熟词生义一般分为两种情况:词源衍生义,即指一个单词由本义衍生而来的词义,该衍生义与词源义间的联系是隐性的;生僻衍生义,即指一个单词的衍生义与我们熟知的义项联系不大。本题考查current的名词含义"水流",需要同学们结合故事背景来进行含义的推测。
