I work as a volunteer（志愿者）for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to 36 him.Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and 37. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too 38 for a 17-year-old. Then, on Day three, as we were 39 over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned（咧嘴笑）, “Pretty hard. ”
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes 40 large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized （着迷）. He couldn’t stop 41 . Later he said 42. “I wish I could speak French.” I was 43－this from a boy who hated and 44 French classes throughout school.
Usually silent, he 45 Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the country and its people. He blossomed（活泼起来）.
46 , the moment that really took 47 breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was 48 a woman villager for an article. 135 centimeters tall, she was small in figure but strong in 49 . Through determination, she had learned to read and write, and 50 to become part of the leadership of the 51 .
Learning her story, Barrett was as 52 as I by this tiny woman’s achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a 53 of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work.
When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay 54 as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This 55 achieved all I’d expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday. He’ll be a man.

解析
小题1:D.本题需要从全文角度才能更好的做出判断.首先,作者要带孩子去的地方是偏僻穷困的地方,再从Barrett的表现和最后一段作者认为完全达到了此行的目的----促进了孩子的成长.所以应该是教育孩子.
小题2:A.rough:艰苦的, 与tiring并列,修饰 trip,从上下文中能看出这个意思
小题3:B.too much(for someone): (对于某人而言)很不合适, 做不了, 受不了.
小题4:C. 上文已经说明了这次旅行会很幸苦, 已经到了第三天, 不可能再run了; B也不合适, 因为这时Barrett回头笑着说很幸苦, 所以应该是在进行中, 不是向下看的时候. 而move和climb相比,后者更强调费尽,努力地;所以climbing更符合此时的情景.
小题5:A. too在这里是程度副词, 这件衣服穿在小姑娘身上太大了.
小题6:D. 从上下文能看出Barrett看到这个小姑娘在他身边很着迷的样子, 不禁笑了, 想与她交流. 如果是其他选项, 下文中就应该出现喊叫或者开玩笑的具体内容才符合文章的逻辑,所以其他选项不合适.
小题7:B.一方面是上文中体现他想与小姑娘交流, 还有从本段最后可以看出Barrett很讨厌学习法语,可以看出应该是遗憾的说: 我希望我会说法语.
小题8:D.从下文hated…throughout school可看出Barrett变化之大,所以作者这时的心情应该是惊讶.
小题9:C. hated是信息词，and表示并列或者递进, 所以A, B 都不对. Call off指取消,和时间状语throughout school不搭配.
小题10:A. 从本句kept asking…和下句的he blossomed…可知应该选A. befriend对待…如朋友,协助, 照顾; disregard不理, 忽视; avoid避免; recognize认出.
小题11:D. 文章到这里进入本文的最高潮: 真正让作者很吃惊 (take one’s breath away) 的发生在深山中的一个小村子. 所以应该是转折.
小题12:B. 在倒数第二段作者专门交待了Barrett对此事的感受 (Barrett was as…as I), 所以这里只是讲”我”的感受.
小题13:B. 其他选项的含义放在这里都不合适, 只能是为一篇文章而采访她.
小题14:C从下一句中的though determination, 可以知道the woman villager意志坚强strong in mind.
小题15:B. struggle: to try extremely hard to achieve something, even though it is very difficult. 所以符合上文的strong in mind/through determination.
小题16:A.此段的第一句话交待了事件发生的地点是in village.
小题17:D. touched: 感动.
小题18: A. combination: 结合, 混合; composition: (某物的) 组成物质或者成分, (人工的) 合成物; connection: 连接.
小题19:B. stay behind: to remain in a place rather than leave留下来.
小题20:D. 首尾呼应从第一段的句子：told Barrett this trip would be tiring and 37.可知填trip。

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
