五、完形填空（共12分，每小题1分）
阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 ―Mommy, I got something for you!‖ Cody ran through the door after school. His face wore the biggest smile ever. He waved something above his head. ―It’s a pen. But not just any pen. It’s a lucky pen!‖ He handed me the pen 35 , waiting for my reaction.
I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing 36 about it. It looked just like any other ballpoint pen. I had a drawer full of them. But looks can 37 people. At that moment, I didn’t realize how special it was or how much I would come to treasure it.
I had made the decision to be a writer. I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid of being refused by the publishers（出版社）. The night before, I told my husband my 38 when I thought Cody wasn’t listening. ―What if nobody likes my writing and I fail?‖ But Cody did 39 what I said. Now he stood in front of me, watching me examine the pen. ―You don’t have to be afraid now,‖ he said. ―This pen will make your 40 great and everyone will love you.‖
Tears filled my eyes. Refusal and failure didn’t seem like such a big problem any more. Even if I 41 sold the first book, I had everything I could ever need. I knew that pen would bring me luck, though. And I felt 42 already, just by having Cody in my life, especially when I heard what he did to get it.
In the lunchroom, Cody heard an older boy talking about having a lucky pen. He decided to get it for me. The boy was a tough negotiator（强硬的谈判者）but Cody didn’t give up. In the end, he 43 his lunch, his favorite Matchbox car, two army men his brother gave him, a crayon, and a piece of candy – his most important things, for that pen. Just to make 44 feel better.
I still have that pen, though it’s long out of ink, in a cup on my desk. When a refusal letter arrives and I start feeling 45 , I look at it and remember just how lucky I am. For while I value that pen, it’s Cody who I really 46 in my life.
35. A. easily B. secretly C. proudly D. naturally 36. A. strange B. special C. important D. interesting 37. A. hurt B. worry C. cheat D. punish 38. A. fear B. hope C. sadness D. surprise 39. A. hear B. accept C. expect D. believe 40. A. life B. dream C. stories D. choices 41. A. ever B. never C. even D. once 42. A. sure B. lucky C. brave D. proud 43. A. found B. kept C. sold D. traded 44. A. them B. us C. me D. her 45. A. nervous B. sorry C. angry D. regretful 46. A. respect B. praise C. honor D. treasure

The impatient crowd at the airport moved forward quickly. The passengers had been waiting for a couple of hours before an airline worker opened the door to the plane outside. No one looked happy. They were walking quietly and hurriedly when suddenly an old man fell down in the rush. His head hit the floor and he appeared to be painful. Everyone rushed past him, except Dana. She called for help.
A minute later, a young airline worker showed up. Hardly looking at the old man, she told Dana to get aboard（登机）her plane. She said the old man would be okay, and walked away.
Dana shouted for help. An airport leader appeared and called 911. He told Dana to get on the plane. Dana said that she was not moving until an ambulance（救护车）arrived. The leader said her plane would leave without her. Dana said that she didn’t care.
At last, an ambulance and two doctors finally arrived. The doctors gave the old man a checkup and said that there seemed to be nothing very serious with him and he would be fine. They put him into the ambulance and drove off. 本试题原文来自http://www.2abc8.com/
On her way to the plane, which hadn’t taken off by then, Dana saw the worker who hadn’t cared about the old man. The worker said, ―You’re lucky the plane didn’t leave without you.‖
