I’m an operating engineer, running crane(起重机) in New York City. I was in the countryside, playing golf when we got the call that a plane had       the World Trade Centre. We checked out of the hotel immediately and started       our way downtown. When I got home, I called the rescue center and they told me to come       and get on the       list.
The next morning I went down to the       at about 5 A. M., and four hours later I       the call to come down to West Street. I called my wife and told her not to       me, and that I would stay in       with her. I took the subway. It stopped at West Fourth Street, so I had to       the rest of the way.
And somewhere in there I became       when I went into something I       . I once worked there in 1966 for the       of the World Trade Centre. On halfway on September 12, I was frightened to see the World Trade Centre was a huge pile, maybe ten       tall. And it was burning. I started to ask       in which my crane might be       a whistle blew suddenly warning us of some danger. I saw people running away and I really didn’t know what to do. So I did the same, too. It was as if they had       the bulls go in Spain and we were running through the street. People falling down, people       them up as they came by, and carrying them, just to get them out of the way, because something was extremely       . I didn’t even look back. We stopped running when we got to the Battery Tunnel, and I caught my       and said, “Oh, my God, I’m going to die.”
Then I    a little bit, thinking about what we should do next. As we started again we knocked into a fire chief officer and we asked, “What can we do to help you?”

第二节: 完形填空 (满分20分)
Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to   41   with you.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the high way at 85 mph   42   we realized we were   43   . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $ 20 bill. I was so   44   because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on   45   seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.
46   , I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I   47   I had not actually handed my money to the cashier. I had just 48   out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t   49   over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and   50   for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I
51   to forgive myself the pleasure of an ice cream for   52   that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change   53   the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so    54   of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was   55   of the “pizza incident,” I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it.”
I have learned two things from this   56   . Maybe I was a fool for   57    in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a   58   pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will   59   up with you.
This reflects the saying, “A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand times, a hero dies once.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that accident at least a thousand times. If I had been a   60   and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

Ⅱ. 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21 — 40各题所给的四个选项（A 、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该选项标号涂黑。
I was coaching girls' track in Iowa and there was a young discus（铁饼）thrower on the team with 21 potential（潜力）. Here goes her story.
At the end of our training   22   the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she   23   come to the school on Sunday for a little   24   training. I agreed. The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and   25   missed going to the state meet. She had won every discus event,   26   that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had   27 been between 106’1” and 110’10”.
Something began to   28 me. Why couldn't Lucy   29 to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier（心理的障碍） 30   a physical one. I decided to try something   31 . I made up my mind to   32   to Lucy.
On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to 33 ?” She began to throw again, but   34   were farther than what she had already thrown. But, I didn’t tell Lucy. As I was measuring the   35 one, I pulled out some more tape (量尺) and yelled out to her, “ Come to see this! This one is 36 ! ” It wasn’t. Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in 37 .
The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy   38   with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her. However, this time she had   39   thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before.
Sometimes we   40   our own barriers in our mind. So learn to take control of your mind.

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors gathered, discussing the exam due to begin in a few   16  . On their faces was confidence. This was their last exam — then on to    17    and jobs. Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they   18  get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take   19  of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)   20  task. The professor had said they could bring   21  book or note they wanted, requesting only that they did not  22  each other, during the test.
   23  they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles   24  on the students’ faces as they noted there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed   25  the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the   26  faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?”   27  a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished   28  .”But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I   29 ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that,   30  you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the   31  you don’t know.
