問題詳情：

(2020·遼寧省五校協作體高三上學期聯合模擬考試)Two years ago, my friend and I were at college. With his birthday quickly   __1__， he came to me with an unusual __2__： instead of receiving presents, he wanted to do some acts of kindness.

I was   __3__   with such an idea.   __4__    instead of taking for the birthday was really different. I asked him how he could come up with such a   __5__   idea. He told me about a TED talk he had watched on generosity, which had   __6__   him. So we started to   __7__   creative things we could do.

Our university employed some security guards to   __8__   its students. They have to work     __9__， keeping watch on every corner throughout the university. For the most part it's a thankless job as most people grow    __10__ to seeing the guards all around and eventually   __11__ notice their presence，let alone acknowledging their efforts. How could we show them our appreciation?

We decided to make a large pot of hot __12__. We hired a car and asked the driver to take us around the campus where we knew the   __13__ would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate. The driver was   __14__   a bit doubtful about the entire plan but after a while he was helping us __15__ the guards and our lively spirit had   __16__    to him as well. We met with many   __17__ and appreciative words. It was amazing to see how a   __18__  act or even an intention of generosity can lift everyone's spirit.

I now realize that special energy is created when you choose to think bigger than yourself and act in   __19__  of others. You'll find it's actually the greatest   __20__   you've never got, especially when it's your birthday.

【回答】

篇章導讀：本文是一篇記敍文。兩年前，我和朋友在讀大學的時候，在朋友生日那天，我們去做了一件善事。通過這次經歷我意識到服務他人能帶來特殊的能量。

1.D  根據第2空後的“receiving presents”可推知，朋友的生日臨近。故選D。

2.B'根據語境可知，因為朋友的生日要到了，他向“我”提出了一個不同尋常的請求。故選B。

3.A　朋友過生日不想收禮物而想去做善事，所以“我”被他的想法所打動。be struck by/on/with sb./sth.意為“被某人(或某物)打動”，為固定用法，故選A。

4.C　根據空後的“instead of taking”並結合上文提到的朋友想在生日當天做善事可知，此處表示在生日時不是想獲取而是要給予。故選C。

5.B　根據上文中的“really different”可知，“我”對他的想法感到非常意外，因此“我”問他是怎樣想到一個這麼新奇的(novel)點子的。

6.C　根據該句中的“a TED talk he had watched on generosity”並結合上文“我”問他怎樣想到這個點子的可知，此處表示這個有關慷慨的TED演講啟發了(inspire)他。

7.A　根據文章第三段對“我們”的計劃的敍述可知，這裏表示“我們”開始籌劃有創造*的事情。plan out意為“籌劃”，故選A。

8.D　根據空前的“security guards”並結合常識可知，學校僱保安人員是為了保護學生。

9.B　根據空後的“keeping watch on every corner throughout the university”並結合常識可知，校園的保安人員夜以繼日地維護學校的安全。around the clock意為“夜以繼日地”，故選B。step by step意為“一步一步地”；more or less意為“或多或少，差不多”；now and then意為“有時”。

10.D　根據上文中的“it's a thankless job”及下文中的“let alone acknowledging their efforts”可知，通常這是一份受累不討好的工作，因為保安人員在校園到處可以見到，大多數人對他們的存在變得習以為常。grow accustomed to意為“習慣於……”，故選D。

11.A　由空後“let alone acknowledging their efforts”可知，此處表示幾乎注意不到他們的存在。barely “幾乎不”，符合語境。

12.D　根據第13空後的“we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate”可知，這裏表示“我們”決定製作一大壺熱巧克力。故選D。

13.C　根據第15空後的“the guards”可知，“我們”租了一輛車，讓司機帶“我們”到校園裏可以遇到保安人員的地方。故選C。

14.B　根據該句中的“after a while he was helping us”可知，剛開始的時候，司機對“我們”的整個計劃有些懷疑。B項意為“最初”，故選B。

15.C　根據上文“我們”找尋保安人員可知，司機後來也幫助“我們”尋找保安人員。spot意為“發現”，故選C。

16.A　根據上文司機也開始幫助“我們”尋找保安人員可知，“我們”的精神傳遞到了司機那裏。故選A。

17.D　根據空後的“appreciative words”可推知，很多人朝“我們”微笑，並讚賞“我們”。故選D。

18.B　根據該句中的“amazing” “even an intention of generosity”可推知，給保安人員送熱巧克力這一小小的行為，或者即使是一種慷慨的意圖，就可以讓人精神振奮，這讓“我們”驚訝不已。故選B。

19.A　根據文章第二至第四段所描述的“我們”為保安人員送熱巧克力的經過可知，“我”現在意識到，當你思考的範圍不只侷限於自身，並且選擇為他人服務的時候，一種特殊的能量就產生了。故選A。

20.C　根據該句中的“when it's your birthday”並結合第一段敍述的朋友過生日不要生日禮物而想做善事可知，為他人服務所產生的能量實際上是你之前從未得到的最好的禮物。故選C。
