When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is __19__strengthened by faith，it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的)force which poverty and temporary defeat can never __20__.‎ You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it.This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.‎ ‎【解题导语】　继母的出现改变了作者的一生，也让整个家庭旧貌换新颜。她的热情深深感染了作者，让作者领悟到了热情的神奇力量。‎ ‎1．A.rushed　　　　　　　　 B．sent C．carried D．introduced 解析：选D。根据作者的父亲所说的话可知他是在把作者“介绍”给作者的继母。‎ ‎2．A.distinguished B．favored C．mistaken D．rewarded 解析：选A。在父亲的眼中，作者不是一个好孩子，而以本地最坏的孩子“著称”。distinguished“著名的”。‎ ‎3．A.sooner B．later C．longer D．earlier 解析：选B。父亲认为作者是本地最坏的孩子，显然不会轻而易举地接受继母，不“迟于”明天早上就会向她扔石头。‎ ‎4．A.dragged B．shook C．raised D．bent 解析：选C。根据本段后半部分继母的话可知她不赞同作者父亲的观点，而是非常欣赏作者，认为作者只是没有把潜能发挥出来，因此表现出来的是爱意，所以是轻轻地“扶起”作者的头。A项表示“拉”；B项表示“摇动”；C项表示“扶起，抬起”；D项表示“倾斜”。‎ ‎5．A.perfect B．right C．wrong D．impolite 解析：选C。根据引号中的话可知她认为作者父亲的观点是“错误的”。‎ ‎6．A.but B．so C．and D．or 解析：选A。他根本不是最坏的孩子，而是还没有找到释放热情的途径的最聪明的孩子。本句是“not...but...”结构，表示“不是……而是……”。‎ ‎7．A.agreement B．friendship C．gap D．relationship 解析：选B。作者没有想到继母会如此欣赏自己，自然一开始就与她建立了“友谊”。两个人本来就是母子关系，所以D项不恰当。‎ ‎8．A.opinion B．image C．expectation D．mind 解析：选D。作者的家人和邻居已经让作者在脑海中形成了根深蒂固的观念，认为自己是一个坏男孩。‎ ‎9．A.begged B．persuaded C．ordered D．invited 解析：选B。根据本句后半部分的内容可知她“说服”了作者的父亲去上牙医学校。‎ ‎10．A.successful B．meaningful C．helpful D．useful 解析：选A。她搬家的目的是想让作者父亲的事业更加“成功”。最后两项的意思基本相同，可排除。‎ ‎11．A.treated B．entertained C．educated D．respected 解析：选C。根据下一段开头部分提到的作者的年龄可推测她搬家也是为了让孩子更好地“受教育”。‎ ‎12．A.camera B．radio C．bicycle D．typewriter 解析：选D。她相信作者可以成为一名作家，结合选项，继母应该是给作者买了一台二手“打字机”。‎ ‎13．A.considered B．suspected C．ignored D．appreciated 解析：选D。她发现了作者的写作才能并加以鼓励，作者自然对此非常“感激”。‎ ‎14．A.belief B．request C．criticism D．description 解析：选A。作者接受了她的“信念”。此处与该段第一句话中的believed相呼应。‎ ‎15．A.teaching B．writing C．studying D．reading 解析：选B。上文叙述的是“写作”的事情，再根据空处前面的“the same kind of”可知选B项。‎ ‎16．A.next B．same C．only D．real 解析：选C。根据后面两句话的内容可知作者不是“唯一的”受益者。‎ ‎17．A.cleverest B．wealthiest C．strongest D．healthiest 解析：选B。上文提到继母说服了作者的父亲去上牙医学校，并举家搬迁以便让他的事业更加成功，由此可推断作者的父亲成为了城镇中最“富有的”人。‎ ‎18．A.enthusiasm B．sympathy C．fortune D．confidence 解析：选A。所有的这一切都是“热情”的力量！文章中多次出现的关键词enthusiasm也是答案提示。‎ ‎19．A.deliberately B．happily C．traditionally D．constantly 解析：选D。当热情释放的能量来支撑一个人的目标，并且这一能量“不断地”被信仰强化时，它就会产生不可抗拒的力量。‎ ‎20．A.win B．match C．reach D．doubt 解析：选B。热情所释放出来的巨大能量是贫穷和暂时的失败所不能“匹敌”的。‎ ‎ ‎ 完形填空 Sam’s uncle had an old bird which sat in its cage all day.
