B Choose the best words and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词完成短文) （12分） Often in your reading you will come across（遇见）a difficult new word. You may be able to read the word, but, you still do not know what it 75__. One way of finding out a word’s meaning is by looking it up in a _76___. Another way is to use context(上下文). You can think of the context as the “neighborhood” in which a word “lives”. A word is never _77___. It appears in a sentence with other words, and that sentence has other sentences that come before and after it. These words and sentences are the context of the unknown word.
A word’s context often contains clues (包含提示)to its meaning. To find clues, think about the meanings of the other words in the sentence. Look at the sentences that come before and after the sentence that contains the word. Do they give you any clues? Sometimes a writer gives _78___ that can help you understand the word’s meaning. Sometimes you may find a word that has almost the same meaning, or a word that means the _79___,or even a definition（释义） of the unfamiliar word, in the same sentence or a nearby one. These are all context clues.
Read the following sentence. Can you guess from the context what word might fit in the blank? We had our picnic in the shade（阴凉处）of a huge _80___. Did you guess the missing word from the context? If you did, you were able to tell from the other words in the sentence that the missing word must be a noun. You could also tell that the word means something that can give shade outdoors. It is something that people might have a picnic under. All these context clues helped you know the word. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80.

B) means B)dictionary B) sad B) an answer B) difficult B) ground

I recently went to a charity party. At the end of the visit our host told us that the following Monday was his birthday. He asked if, as a gift to him, we would do something kind for someone else on that day. I thought that was a terrible birthday idea!
The following Monday, I saw my neighbor, a new mother, in the garden with her baby, I went outside to say “hello” to her. During the talk, she told me, not in a complaining way but just as a matter of fact, about the sleeplessness and the challenges to get anything done with a baby followed by. I remembered the charity party host’s request and said, “Hey! Why don’t I watch your baby for an hour! I will just hang out with him here in the back garden and you go in and take an hour to yourself.”
She was so surprised that she almost cried. “Are you serious? Would you be able to do that?” ” of
8
course!” I said. “I’d be happy to!” An hour later she came outside with a smile on her face. “I have got so much done!”she told me, and I told her that I had sung every kid’s song I knew and had a good time hanging out with the baby, too. And I was so happy to see her smiling like that.
It was one of the best presents I’ve ever given, and it has given me the desire to ask the same from all my friends this year. I know it will make me feel great to know my friends are out there sharing their wisdom and time with people who can really use it.
