I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up in rapidly burn to the ground.
A few minutes earlier I had been in bed when a scream woke me up. My grandma’s bedroom was just next to mine and my brother’s. A fire had broken out there and awakened her. Hearing her, my brother jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. Before we could do anything the fire destroyed it. We all had just made it outside when the flames (火焰) took hold of every room.
I stood there shaking while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed. I wondered what was going to happen to us because we had lost all our things.
As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that mattered were not things. I saw my brother running around to get help. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Our lives would continue without the”stuff” that was burning. We would all live to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.
44. Who first found the house was on fire
A. The author. B. The brother. C. The grandma. D. The parents.
45. What was the author thinking about when seeing everything destroyed
A. He was wondering how the fire got started.
B. He was worried about their life after the fire.
C. He was mad about losing his clothes and toys.
D. He felt lucky that they were saved by the firefighters.
46. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in paragraph 4
A. That their life and family matter most.
B. That his family was lucky enough to escape.
C. That family and pets both meant a lot to him.
D. That the things burned in the fire didn’t matter at all.
47. Which of the following quotes is the author most likely to agree with
A. “Keep calm and carry on.” —the Ministry of Information, UK
B. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” —Friedrich Nietzsche
C. “You’ll be alive. That’s what matters. Enjoy what you have.” —Richelle Mead
D. “Home is where you are loved the most and act the worst.” —Marjorie Pay Hinckley
C
Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register (登记) the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an ID number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated (及时了解) about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend (趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than 135 countries.
48. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce BookCrossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
49. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The book. B. An adventure. C. A public place. D. The ID number.
50. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it
A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.
C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.
51. What is the text mainly about
A. A new reading habit B. A social activity of exchanging books
C. A new trend of online reading D. A website that connects people through books
D
The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show uneasiness or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts (冲突) among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority (权威) rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to understand the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
52. What does the author say about silence in conversations
A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship.
C. It depends on culture. D. It is based on context.
53. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A. The Chinese. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.
54. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A. Let it continue as the patient wants. B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate (评估) its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.
55. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver, Silence Is Gold

Twinkling (闪烁) Christmas lights on our Christmas tree reflected off the shiny decorations, throwing flashes (闪光) of light on the wall. Outside snow fell down as the grey Sunday afternoon sky darkened. My feeling was as dark as the sky. Although it was less than two weeks before Christmas, I found it difficult to be in a festive (节日的) mood. We had moved to Canada from south, and holidays were difficult for us because we missed our family in Minnesota. I made a half-hearted effort to put up a few decorations around the house, but my heart just wasn’t in it.
“Mum, I wish we could spend Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma in Minnesota,” said my fifteen-year-old daughter, Rachel. I couldn’t help feeling homesick. How could I encourage my daughter when I was also struggling “I know you’d like to spend Christmas in Minnesota, Rachel. So would I.” I looked up from the notes I was writing on my printed Christmas letters. “But Minnesota is 2,000 kilometers from Calgary. You remember how hard it was to drive in that snowstorm two years ago ” “I remember,” she sighed.
We had decided that driving to Minnesota for Christmas was simply too risky and buying plane tickets for four people was totally out of the question. No one was visiting for Christmas, either; I just didn’t have the energy to invite anyone. We would be spending Christmas alone. I was slightly shocked when the doorbell rang. It was dark outside, and we weren’t expecting anyone. Rachel went to open the door, and then said, “Mum, there’s a box on the doorstep — with presents. and nobody is out here!”
Who could have left it It was indeed a mystery. The box contained many packages wrapped in bright Christmas paper. Each had a typewritten label: Open 14 December, Open 15 December ... There were a total of twelve gifts — the “Twelve Days of Christmas”.
It was 14 December, and the label for that day was tied to a turkey still wrapped in the plastic from the store. The note read: Our LOVE is given anonymously (匿名地). So enjoy fun with your family. I put the turkey in the freezer and the rest of the gifts under the tree.
No matter who sent the gifts, I wanted to say: “Thank you and merry Christmas!”
distance risk visit enjoy nervous letters mood homesick surprising thankful presents grandparents

Then I was greeted by the local people warmly and they offered to take me on a tour of their village. I walked, passing by towering trees and colorful birds. And they showed me how they hunted, fished and searched for food in the forest. They also took me to pick some plants and told me how they used them for different problems and sicknesses. I also learned about their traditional dances and music, which were an important part of their culture. Above all, I joined a hunt, where I saw their skills and how they were able to survive in such a tough environment. So I returned home with respect and admiration for the local people and their way of life.

I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up in rapidly burn to the ground.
A few minutes earlier I had been in bed when a scream woke me up. My grandma’s bedroom was just next to mine and my brother’s. A fire had broken out there and awakened her. Hearing her, my brother jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. Before we could do anything the fire destroyed it. We all had just made it outside when the flames (火焰) took hold of every room.
I stood there shaking while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed. I wondered what was going to happen to us because we had lost all our things.
As I looked around though, I realized something for the first time: The things that mattered were not things. I saw my brother running around to get help. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Our lives would continue without the”stuff” that was burning. We would all live to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.
44. Who first found the house was on fire
A. The author. B. The brother. C. The grandma. D. The parents.
45. What was the author thinking about when seeing everything destroyed
A. He was wondering how the fire got started.
B. He was worried about their life after the fire.
C. He was mad about losing his clothes and toys.
D. He felt lucky that they were saved by the firefighters.
46. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in paragraph 4
A. That their life and family matter most.
B. That his family was lucky enough to escape.
C. That family and pets both meant a lot to him.
D. That the things burned in the fire didn’t matter at all.
47. Which of the following quotes is the author most likely to agree with
A. “Keep calm and carry on.” —the Ministry of Information, UK
B. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” —Friedrich Nietzsche
C. “You’ll be alive. That’s what matters. Enjoy what you have.” —Richelle Mead
D. “Home is where you are loved the most and act the worst.” —Marjorie Pay Hinckley

【44题详解】

【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I wondered what was going to happen to us because we had lost all our things.(我不知道我们会发生什么事,因为我们失去了所有的东西。)”可知,当看到一切都被摧毁时,作者在担心火灾后他们的生活。故选B。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that mattered were not things.(然而,当我环顾四周时,我第一次意识到:重要的事情并不是事物。)”和“I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Our lives would continue without the”stuff” that was burning. We would all live to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.(那一刻我意识到我们都还活着。即使没有燃烧的“东西”,我们的生活也会继续。在未来的许多年里,我们都会彼此相爱。这才是最重要的。)”可知,作者在第4段主要想告诉读者他们的生活和家庭是最重要的。故选A。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Our lives would continue without the”stuff” that was burning. We would all live to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.(那一刻我意识到我们都还活着。即使没有燃烧的“东西”,我们的生活也会继续。在未来的许多年里,我们都会彼此相爱。这才是最重要的。)”可知,作者认为活着最重要,因此作者会同意的是C选项““You’ll be alive. That’s what matters.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register (登记) the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an ID number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated (及时了解) about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend (趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than 135 countries.
48. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce BookCrossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
49. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The book. B. An adventure. C. A public place. D. The ID number.
50. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it
A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.
C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.
51. What is the text mainly about
A. A new reading habit B. A social activity of exchanging books
C. A new trend of online reading D. A website that connects people through books
【答案】48. B 49. A 50. C 51. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了网站所进行的分享图书的目的以及具体过程。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.(阅读可以是一种社会活动。想想那些属于读书小组的人。他们选择要读的书,然后见面讨论。现在,网站颠覆了传统的书友会理念。)”可知,作者在第一段提到读书也是一种社交活动,那些参加读书小组的人经常在一起阅读讨论所读内容,增强相互之间的理解,接着在最后一句提出,由此可推知,作者提到读书小组是为了介绍网站。故选B。
【49题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“BookCrossing provides an ID number to stick inside the book.(BookCrossing提供了一个身份证号码,可以贴在书里。)”和划线词所在句子“Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.(然后这个人把书放在一个公共场所,希望这本书能有一次冒险,和每一个找到它的新读者一起远行。)”可知,it指代上文中提到的同一事物“the book”。故选A。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.(会员们把书放在公园长椅上、公共汽车上、火车站和咖啡店里。无论谁找到了他们的书,都要去现场记录他们找到书的地方。)”可知,BookCrosser阅读完一本书之后会把它传递给另一个读者。故选C。
【51题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.(现在,网站颠覆了传统的书友会理念。)”和文章第三段“Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”(BookCrossing的总经理布鲁斯·佩德森说:“改变你生活的两件事是你遇到的人和你读的书。BookCrossing将两者结合起来。”)”可知,文章主要介绍了一个通过书籍将人们联系起来的网站。故选D。
D
The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show uneasiness or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts (冲突) among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority (权威) rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to understand the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
52 What does the author say about silence in conversations
A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship.
C. It depends on culture. D. It is based on context.
53. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A. The Chinese. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.
54. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A. Let it continue as the patient wants. B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate (评估) its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.
55. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver, Silence Is Gold
【答案】52. C 53. A 54. D 55. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了沉默在不同的文化中所代表的含义。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups.(在不同的文化群体中,沉默的含义是不同的)”和“Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.(沉默可能被一些文化群体视为极其不舒服;因此,可以尝试用对话来填补每一个空白。其他文化群体的人看重沉默,认为沉默是理解一个人需求的必要条件)”可知,作者认为沉默是有文化属性的,在不同的文化中沉默的含义不同,故选C。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.(许多印第安人重视沉默,认为这是人与人之间交流的基本组成部分,就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人一样。因此,当一个来自这些文化的人正在讲话时,突然停下来,可能是在暗示这个人希望听者在继续之前考虑一下他说了什么。在这些文化中,沉默意味着需要反思)”可知,中国人会把沉默看作是需要仔细思考,故选A。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.(了解沉默的治疗价值的护士可以利用这种理解来帮助照顾来自自己和其他文化的病人)”可知,作者建议护士利用沉默的治愈价值,故选D。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups.(在不同的文化群体中,沉默的含义是不同的)”可知,文章主要介绍了沉默在不同的文化中所代表的含义。B项“沉默是什么意思”为最佳标题,故选B。

【答案】56. E 57. D 58. A 59. G 60. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讨论如何才能取得成功这一主题。
【56题详解】
根据上文“To find out the answers, an American reporter recently visited some of the most successful people around the world.”(为了找寻问题的答案,近日一位美国记者拜访了世界上多位最为成功的人士。)。以及下文小标题“Be responsible for yourself.”(对自己负责。)可知,下文提到取得成功的几个要点,因而可以得出该空所填应当为一段具有承上启下意义的语句,综合选项,E选项“以下是他们提供的一些成功的关键。”符合语境。故选E项。
【57题详解】
根据上文 “Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something apart from yourself is stopping you from making success, you're giving away your own power.”( 有时,你可能想把自己的失败归咎于他人。事实上,当你说与你不同的人或事阻止了你取得成功时,你正在丧失你自己的力量。)可知,D项“你说,‘事情已经超出了自己的控制。’”是对此部分的进一步说明,符合语境。故选D项。
【58题详解】
根据下文“Without this "map", you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the "map", you'll enjoy the "trip" and get what you want in the shortest possible time.”( 没有这张“地图”,你可能会浪费你的时间、金钱和精力;使用“地图”,您将享受“旅行”,并在尽可能短的时间内得到您想要的东西。)可知,设空处的内容应当和map有一定关联。A项“一个好的计划就像一张地图。”符合语境。故选A项。
【59题详解】
设空处属于文章所提的四个小论点之一,故该问题处所填内容一定是对下文内容的概括,起到了总领下文的作用。通过下文“Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard—even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won't get anything valuable.”(没有什么好东西是容易得到的。因此,你必须准备好更加努力地工作,甚至比以前任何时候都更加努力。如果你不愿意付出代价,你将得不到任何有价值的东西。)可知,此部分论述了没有什么是轻而易举的,一切都是通过努力所得。结合下列选项,G项“愿意付出代价。”较为符合题意,故选G项。
【60题详解】
设空处位于段落的句首,是概括段落的主旨句。根据本段的小标题“Never give up.”(永不言弃。)以及下文中的“When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.”( 当你在做某事时,你必须一次又一次地告诉自己:放弃比失败更糟糕,因为失败是成功之母,但放弃意味着希望的破灭。)可知,此部分论述永不言弃的内容。B项 “在我们看来,每个人都知道这一点,但说起来容易做起来难。”与文章衔接紧密,每个人都知道永不言弃,但做起来不容易。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了人们在聊天时会使用的俚语,它包括首字母缩写和缩略词两类,作者最后指出用这种语言进行即时通讯可以节省时间,但尽量不要过于依赖它。
【106题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:无论你是使用短信服务(SMS)还是智能手机上的即时通讯应用程序,你都会看到一些难以理解的单词,因为人们使用聊天俚语。此处是“主语+be+形容词+动词不定式”结构,是固定用法,故填to understand。
【107题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:聊天俚语是在新技术背景下使用的一种特定语言。分析句子可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是language,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。
【108题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这些首字母缩略词是由几个单词的首字母组成的,比如IDK(我不知道)、OIC(哦,我明白了)、BRB(马上回来)、BFN(现在再见)、LOL(大声笑)和ASAP(尽快)。be made up of由……组成,且句子是描述一个事实,应用一般现在时,主语acronyms是名词复数,be动词应用are,故填are made。
【109题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:缩略词可以省略单词中不需要的部分,并可以用数字代替声音,同时保持意思清晰。number数字,可数名词,此处应用复数形式表示泛指,故填numbers。
【110题详解】
考查冠词。句意:看一下这些缩写的例子:Plz(请),Thx(谢谢),Cya(见你),U(你),R(是),L8r(稍后),B4(之前),2morro(明天)。take a look at看一看,固定短语,故填a。
【111题详解】
考查连词。句意:用这种语言进行即时通讯可以节省时间,而且非常有趣,但请记住要正确使用它,尽量不要过于依赖它。结合句意可知,空前后表示转折关系,应用连词but或yet。故填but/yet。
【112题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词use应用副词形式,故填properly。
【113题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。depend on依靠,固定短语,故填on。
【114题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:如果你必须不断地向人们解释你写的东西,那么使用完整的单词可能会更快。keep doing sth一直做某事,不断做某事,故此处应用动名词形式,故填explaining。
【115题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意同上。结合句意可知,此处指“使用完整的单词可能会更快”,暗含比较,应用形容词比较级形式,故填faster。

根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中,每词限用一次,有两词为多余选项
Twinkling (闪烁) Christmas lights on our Christmas tree reflected off the shiny decorations, throwing flashes (闪光) of light on the wall. Outside snow fell down as the grey Sunday afternoon sky darkened. My feeling was as dark as the sky. Although it was less than two weeks before Christmas, I found it difficult to be in a festive (节日的) mood. We had moved to Canada from south, and holidays were difficult for us because we missed our family in Minnesota. I made a half-hearted effort to put up a few decorations around the house, but my heart just wasn’t in it.
“Mum, I wish we could spend Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma in Minnesota,” said my fifteen-year-old daughter, Rachel. I couldn’t help feeling homesick. How could I encourage my daughter when I was also struggling “I know you’d like to spend Christmas in Minnesota, Rachel. So would I.” I looked up from the notes I was writing on my printed Christmas letters. “But Minnesota is 2,000 kilometers from Calgary. You remember how hard it was to drive in that snowstorm two years ago ” “I remember,” she sighed.
We had decided that driving to Minnesota for Christmas was simply too risky and buying plane tickets for four people was totally out of the question. No one was visiting for Christmas, either; I just didn’t have the energy to invite anyone. We would be spending Christmas alone. I was slightly shocked when the doorbell rang. It was dark outside, and we weren’t expecting anyone. Rachel went to open the door, and then said, “Mum, there’s a box on the doorstep — with presents. and nobody is out here!”
Who could have left it It was indeed a mystery. The box contained many packages wrapped in bright Christmas paper. Each had a typewritten label: Open 14 December, Open 15 December ... There were a total of twelve gifts — the “Twelve Days of Christmas”.
It was 14 December, and the label for that day was tied to a turkey still wrapped in the plastic from the store. The note read: Our LOVE is given anonymously (匿名地). So enjoy fun with your family. I put the turkey in the freezer and the rest of the gifts under the tree.
No matter who sent the gifts, I wanted to say: “Thank you and merry Christmas!”

考查动词。根据第三段第二句和第三句“No one was visiting for Christmas, either; I just didn’t have the energy to invite anyone. We would be spending Christmas alone.(也没有人来过圣诞节;我只是没力气邀请任何人。我们会独自过圣诞节。)”可知,因为没有人拜访,他们要独自过圣诞节。所以应用动词visit表示“拜访”,在with的复合结构中,动词visit和逻辑主语no one构成主动关系,所以应用现在分词形式作补足语。故填visiting。
