专题十四 完形填空 A卷
Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure low-income students in his neighbourhood arrive at their college classes on time.
A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been 1 free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started 2 his car to the young people, Wilson has 3 an astonishing 64,000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous 4 with the students he transports to and from school. The students who he's 5 have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they've also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students 6 call him "Grandpa".
Tina Stern 7 rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free 8 ." It's not just a ride; you're not just sitting there in 9 silence or with your headphones on," Stem said. "He asks you questions and actually 10 the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he'll 11 those things."
Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organisation, On Point for College. Although the 12 asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes 13 to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration, Wilson is there to 14 them. If they run out of certain daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what's needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never 15 to buy them a meal.
For many students, Wilson's help is not only appreciated, it's also entirely 16 for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don't have a reliable car, while others have to 17 vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has 18 them to complete their education — but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the 19 . "I just love driving, and I love these kids," Wilson said. It's such a(n) 20 to be a part of these kids' lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories."

The Homeless Hero
For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £ 400 in cash would be a source (来源) of temptation (诱惑). But the 1 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 2 more remarkable.
After spotting a 3 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 4 to return.
After hours in the cold and wet, he 5 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact (联系) the driver, only to 6 it contained £ 400 in notes, with another £ 50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 7 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car's owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car — which was itself worth £ 35,000 一 in Glasgow city centre, they were 8 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 9 .
The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 10 .
Mr. Anderson said: "I couldn't believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 11 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and 12 he didn't take the wallet for himself; he thought about others 13 . It's unbelievable. It just proves there are 14 guys out there."
Mr. Smith's act 15 much of the public's attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 16 about the act of kindness online.
Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 17 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received £ 8,000. "I think the faith that everyone has shown 18 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he's had job 19 and all sorts," Mr. Anderson commented.
For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing 20 . The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another.

答案以及解析
答案:1-5.CDBDB; 6-10.ABABD; 11-15.CDCAD; 16-20.CABAC;
解析:1.文章开头说,威尔逊总在努力确保自己街坊那些低收入家庭的大学生能按时赶到自己的课堂,因此这里用offering 表示"主动提供,愿意给"。offer a free ride to sb.表示 "让某人免费乘车"。
2.语境说威尔逊总是自愿让街坊的大学生免费乘车去上学,因此这里不是说他把自己的车捐献给那些学生,借给学生,或者把车递送给学生,故选D项。
3.语境表示在过去的八年时间里,威尔逊就这样开车行驶了64 000英里的路程。cover表示"行走(一段路程)"。
4.语境说的是威尔逊在开车接送这些学生的路途中与学生进行的愉快幽默的交谈(conversations),而不是争论、采访、谈判,因此选D。
5.这里说的是威尔逊开车接送的那些学生后来的情况。drive表示"开车送"。
6.从语境的连贯看,此处表示这些大学生视威尔逊为楷模和朋友,甚至(even)亲切地叫他"爷爷"。
7.这里讲述其中一名免费乘车的学生,因此用received表示"得到",而不是赚取、评价、要求乘车。
8.这里用free transportation指威尔逊免费送贫困大学生上下学的行为,因此A项"交通"符合语境。
9.这里说的是,坐上威尔逊的车,这些学生不会陷入尴尬的沉默或者戴上耳机不与他人交流,用awkward来形容"沉默",表示"令人尴尬的",forced"被迫的",ridiculous"荒谬的",suspicious"可疑的",都不符合语境。
10.下文说,"下次你跟他一起坐车的时候,他还会……那些事情",由此判断这里说的是威尔逊在询问街坊的这些大学生一些问题的时候,能记得他们的回答,由此选D。
11.前文提到学生坐他的车时他与学生之间的问和答,这里说下次乘车的时候,威尔逊还会核实那些事情,用check on表示"核实,检查"。act on"按照……行事",settle on"选定",agree on"就……达成一致意见",都不符合语境。
12.最初威尔逊参与一个支援学生的慈善计划(a student-support programme),因此这里用programme表示"计划"。
13.这里说威尔逊经常做更多,因此用go beyond表示他不仅仅做分内之事。
14.用assist 表示"帮助"与前面的"有问题"呼应:当学生在报名注册方面遇到问题的时候,他就会去帮助他们。
15.从语境的连贯看,这里用hesitates表示"犹豫":乘车的学生坐车时间太长,饿了,他就会毫不犹豫地给学生买来饭菜。
16.语境表示有了威尔逊的这些帮助,这些贫困大学生才能读完大学,因此用necessary表示"必要的,必不可少的"。
17.这里说这些大学生乘客的情况:他们或者家里没车,或者自己的父母每周上班6天,离不开车,这种情况下他们就要和父母共用(share)一辆车,因此选A。
18.这里表示威尔逊开车接送这些学生,学生才得以完成自己的大学教育,用allowed表示"允许"。
19.这里讲的是威尔逊自己也从开车接送这些学生的经历中获益。
20.威尔逊在这里说,能够成为这些大学生生活中的一部分,了解他们,这是一种荣幸,因此用privilege表示"荣幸,幸运"。

解析:1.文章开头说,威尔逊总在努力确保自己街坊那些低收入家庭的大学生能按时赶到自己的课堂,因此这里用offering 表示"主动提供,愿意给"。offer a free ride to sb.表示 "让某人免费乘车"。
2.语境说威尔逊总是自愿让街坊的大学生免费乘车去上学,因此这里不是说他把自己的车捐献给那些学生,借给学生,或者把车递送给学生,故选D项。
3.语境表示在过去的八年时间里,威尔逊就这样开车行驶了64 000英里的路程。cover表示"行走(一段路程)"。
4.语境说的是威尔逊在开车接送这些学生的路途中与学生进行的愉快幽默的交谈(conversations),而不是争论、采访、谈判,因此选D。
5.这里说的是威尔逊开车接送的那些学生后来的情况。drive表示"开车送"。
6.从语境的连贯看,此处表示这些大学生视威尔逊为楷模和朋友,甚至(even)亲切地叫他"爷爷"。
7.这里讲述其中一名免费乘车的学生,因此用received表示"得到",而不是赚取、评价、要求乘车。
8.这里用free transportation指威尔逊免费送贫困大学生上下学的行为,因此A项"交通"符合语境。
9.这里说的是,坐上威尔逊的车,这些学生不会陷入尴尬的沉默或者戴上耳机不与他人交流,用awkward来形容"沉默",表示"令人尴尬的",forced"被迫的",ridiculous"荒谬的",suspicious"可疑的",都不符合语境。
10.下文说,"下次你跟他一起坐车的时候,他还会……那些事情",由此判断这里说的是威尔逊在询问街坊的这些大学生一些问题的时候,能记得他们的回答,由此选D。
11.前文提到学生坐他的车时他与学生之间的问和答,这里说下次乘车的时候,威尔逊还会核实那些事情,用check on表示"核实,检查"。act on"按照……行事",settle on"选定",agree on"就……达成一致意见",都不符合语境。
12.最初威尔逊参与一个支援学生的慈善计划(a student-support programme),因此这里用programme表示"计划"。
13.这里说威尔逊经常做更多,因此用go beyond表示他不仅仅做分内之事。
14.用assist 表示"帮助"与前面的"有问题"呼应:当学生在报名注册方面遇到问题的时候,他就会去帮助他们。
15.从语境的连贯看,这里用hesitates表示"犹豫":乘车的学生坐车时间太长,饿了,他就会毫不犹豫地给学生买来饭菜。
16.语境表示有了威尔逊的这些帮助,这些贫困大学生才能读完大学,因此用necessary表示"必要的,必不可少的"。
17.这里说这些大学生乘客的情况:他们或者家里没车,或者自己的父母每周上班6天,离不开车,这种情况下他们就要和父母共用(share)一辆车,因此选A。
18.这里表示威尔逊开车接送这些学生,学生才得以完成自己的大学教育,用allowed表示"允许"。
19.这里讲的是威尔逊自己也从开车接送这些学生的经历中获益。
20.威尔逊在这里说,能够成为这些大学生生活中的一部分,了解他们,这是一种荣幸,因此用privilege表示"荣幸,幸运"。
