（3）完形填空—【新课标新高考】2022届高考英语二轮复习技能强化练
1. It was many years ago. I was a young father on my way home to my wife and baby boy after spending all day 1 college classes. I had gone back to school to get a degree in education. It was a two-hour round trip to the 2 , so every day I would pray for my 20-year-old car to 3 it all the way.
As I started down a lonely stretch of highway about 12 miles from my home I 4 a car parked along the side of the road with its emergency flashers 5 . A small woman was struggling to 6 a flat tire. This was long before the age of cellphones 7 I knew that any other help might not arrive for a while. I 8 behind her car and offered to give her a hand. Her own hands were bruised (擦伤的) and bleeding from struggling with the lug nuts (车轮螺母) and she had tears of frustration in her eyes. The lug nuts were rusty(生锈的) and 9 , but after a while I got the flat one off and the 10 tire on. As I said goodbye the little lady hugged me with tears of 11 this time. I waved and drove off, a little embarrassed at her 12 . After all, it had just been one kind act.
It took me a lot of years after that to learn the true power of one kind act. One kind act can change the world. One kind act can teach more love than a million words. One kind act can save a lost soul and heal (治愈) a 13 heart.

2. Every year, I circle the first day of spring on our calendar. In this way, it won't slip by 1 . I'm not sure why 2 the calendar to announce spring's arrival, since it has so little bearing on the matter. Spring comes when it's good and ready; sometimes well before its 3 day, sometimes well after.
For years, spring in our town was 4 by Leon and Jo Martin, who owned the Dairy Queen. Every year, they would 5 the words "Now Hiring" on their sign. I would walk past to see Leon and Jo Martin 6 for their spring opening. It was as 7 an indication of spring as any calendar, and after the Dairy Queen was sold to an out-of-town outfit who kept it 8 all year round, it threw off our town's circadian rhythms (昼夜节律). 9 , when Johnston's grocery store 10 selling snowplows and starts selling lawn mowers (割草机),that's a pretty good 11 winter's grip has loosened.
But let us suppose Johnston's store ignores its duty and we are left 12 of spring's arrival. We would then have to look and see whether Bill Eddy, our town's plumber(水暖工), was wearing a coat. 13 the first leaf dries up and falls to the ground in autumn, Bill 14 his brown Carhartt coat and doesn't remove it until next spring.

3. Many people say that their childhood was the happiest time of their lives. But, that was not 1 for me, at least between the ages of 10 to 12. I was practically 2 by my parents, who seemed only interested in their never-ending money-making. I was 3 , a loner at school too, disliked by my classmates for getting good grades.
Longing for 4 , I fell into depression and started thinking about death. While on the school field trip, I lost my footing and slipped into a marsh (沼泽) and got my 5 muddy. As luck would have it, out of nowhere, an angel, in the 6 of a native woman, lent me a helping hand. She 7 me to her small cottage and helped me change my 8 trousers. She made me eat from what little food she had, and told me funny stories, 9 to cheer me up.
That lady saved me. She saved my belief in the 10 of people. I came to see that no matter what happens, there are good things in the world, which you can 11 for existence. Another thing I noticed was that the lady, though she lived in 12 surroundings, seemed happy. I realized that life is beautiful if we love it. Only those who are 13 their life can really understand what happiness really is.
I dropped the idea of ending my 14 .

I learned patience the hard 5 . I have been trying to rush through life, always 6 myself to my friends and family and wondering when my life would change. I was too busy trying to speed things up, but things just weren't 7 , so I finally gave up. However, when I continued to help people and do little things I could every day to make a difference, life 8 me back. Therefore, keep your 9 realistic, no matter how unjust people are towards you. I believe you will be successful, 10 everything has its own special time when everything goes well, and yours is definitely coming. You just need to 11 a little longer.
I 12 met someone worth it all, so kind and sweet, always trying to surprise me in the most 13 ways. Now, every day is something bigger and better, and that 14 is amazing, and then you realize it's because of all the good things you keep doing in your life.

I happened to have one, so I took it out of my pencil box and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been 5 the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were 6 . As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to 7 ; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be 8 for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and 9 the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really 10 themselves.

I was worried. 5 , my father was seventy-one years old. Anything could have happened to him. Then, I got in my car and drove to my mother's aerobics (有氧运动) class.
On the drive, I thought a lot about our history together. Suddenly, I was three years old and he was 6 me up to the living room window to see the Christmas lights. In his 7 , I was safe and secure. Then I was twelve and my dad was 8 all the kids at my birthday party with his magic tricks. I was so 9 of my father for being so talented. He'd made my party a 10 .

10. My father was born in a small town in the US. He wasn't sure what he wanted from 1 , but something told him to 2 and begin a new adventure.
He began that adventure traveling to cities in the US before going on to Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. He took my mother and us three daughters with him and went wherever the road 3 him.
It's easy to feel 4 when you're on the road. We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them are mechanics, since we often 5 hours in repair shops. But that was a way much 6 than sitting by the roadside while waiting for the engine to cool off when it was 40℃ outside.
Getting along well sometimes seemed 7 . There were always a lot of 8 , especially among us back seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle. But even if it was hard, we learned a lot about tolerance(包容). When we were traveling in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been an hour's drive but was nearly three thanks to bad roads and 9 traffic. "Did you put our suitcases in the car?" my father asked my mother as we arrived there. From the back seat, we saw her slowly turn toward my father. "No," she said. "I thought you did." That was how a seven-hour car trip turned into a 16-hour one, which was mostly spent in vain(徒劳).
On occasions like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger because we were 10 in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the 11 . Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and 12 one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.
This is why road trips were like 13 universities to us. We 14 our PhDs(博士学位) in how to get along with other people just by traveling in our old car.
If we were 15 given a second chance at life, we would do it all over again. Only this time would I put the suitcases in the car myself.

Another thing I noticed was that the lady, though she lived in 12 surroundings, seemed happy. I realized that life is beautiful if we love it. Only those who are 13 their life can really understand what happiness really is.

I was worried. 5 , my father was seventy-one years old. Anything could have happened to him. Then, I got in my car and drove to my mother's aerobics (有氧运动) class.
On the drive, I thought a lot about our history together. Suddenly, I was three years old and he was 6 me up to the living room window to see the Christmas lights. In his 7 , I was safe and secure.

10. My father was born in a small town in the US. He wasn't sure what he wanted from 1 , but something told him to 2 and begin a new adventure.
He began that adventure traveling to cities in the US before going on to Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. He took my mother and us three daughters with him and went wherever the road 3 him.
It's easy to feel 4 when you're on the road. We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them are mechanics, since we often 5 hours in repair shops. But that was a way much 6 than sitting by the roadside while waiting for the engine to cool off when it was 40℃ outside.
Getting along well sometimes seemed 7 . There were always a lot of 8 , especially among us back seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle. But even if it was hard, we learned a lot about tolerance(包容). When we were traveling in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been an hour's drive but was nearly three thanks to bad roads and 9 traffic. "Did you put our suitcases in the car?" my father asked my mother as we arrived there. From the back seat, we saw her slowly turn toward my father. "No," she said. "I thought you did." That was how a seven-hour car trip turned into a 16-hour one, which was mostly spent in vain(徒劳).
On occasions like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger because we were 10 in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the 11 . Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and 12 one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.
This is why road trips were like 13 universities to us. We 14 our PhDs(博士学位) in how to get along with other people just by traveling in our old car.
If we were 15 given a second chance at life, we would do it all over again. Only this time would I put the suitcases in the car myself.
