题文
完形填空。 When I was about five years old, I used to watch a bird in the skies of southern Alberta from theBlackfoot Blood Reserve in northern Montana where I was born.I loved this bird; I would 1 him for
hours. He would 2 effortlessly in that gigantic sky, or he would come down and light on the 3 and
float there beautifully. Sometimes when I watched him, he would not make a sound and liked to move
4 into the grasses. We called him meksikatsi, which in the Blackfoot language 5 "pink-colored feet";
meksikatsi and I became very good friends.
The bird had a very particular significance to me 6 I desperately wanted to be able to fly too. I felt
very much as if I was the kind of person who had been born into a world where 7 was impossible. And
most of the things that I 8 about would not be possible for me but would be possible only for other
people.
When I was ten years old, something unexpected 9 my life suddenly. I found myself become an 10
child in a family I was not born into; I found myself in a 11 position that many native Americans find
themselves in, living in a city that they do not understand at all, not in another culture but 12 two cultures.
A teacher of the English language told me that meksikatsi was not called meksikatsi, even though that is
what 13 people have called that bird for thousands of years. Meksikatsi, he said, was really "duck". I was
very 14 with English. I could not understand it. First of all, the bird did not look like"duck", and when it
made a 15 , it did not sound like "duck", I was even more 16 when I found out that the meaning of the
verb "to duck" came from the bird.
As I 17 to understand English better, I understand that it made a great deal of 18 , but I never forgot
that meksikatsi made a different kind of meaning. I 19 that languages are not just different words for the
same things but totally different 20 , totally different ways of experiencing and looking at the world. ( )1. A.keep

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：
一、文章特点：
生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。
二、解题技巧：
针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
