第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)

As I felt my heart sink deep down into the holes of darkness,I considered every word the doctor spoke to me.She 36 I had a disorder,and that I might never be able to have children 37 ,completely unaware of the great 38 she was bringing to me in a matter of seconds.

It was difficult to try and understand the effect such 39 could have upon a woman,especially a woman recently married.I felt as though all light inside me had been 40 permanently.

As a young girl I had always 41 my children looking much like me,and my future husband,and that I would be a(n) 42 mother.Therefore,I spent quantities of time learning about my disorder.I talked with other women who had 43 it,and who had become mothers despite all difficulties.I believed in my heart that I could 44 this.

It wasn’t until about a year into trying,after continuous 45 pregnancy tests,that hope started to die within me.My husband did everything he could to 46 me,and to make promises to me. 47 of it mattered when I was as deep into myself as I was.

A friend gave me a(n) 48 to a natural,spiritual healer who 49 listened and coached,without prescribing(开药方).I started seeing this healing coach twice every single week for almost three months, 50 I saw changes in myself that I would never have imagined.I had been so 51 with myself and my pity,that I had been 52 to the gifts that God had supplied me with, already.

One of the greatest 53 I learned was that I was trying to control something that was 54 my hands,and the outcome was even 55 .It was time to be appreciative,and to wake up every morning thankful for such a beautiful life.

A

The sun is setting like a huge orange ball.It’s the cool evening on a stretch of beach.The water is paring the shore,the breeze is blowing slightly.There are one or two joggers and a couple of fishermen.Most people have gone home for the day.

An old man,with rounded shoulders,bushy eyebrows,and bony features,carries the bucket up to the dock(码头)that goes out into the water.He stands on the dock and all of a sudden there come a mass of dancing dots—seagulls ! The man takes out of his bucket handfuls of shrimps(虾)and begins to throw them on the dock.Some seagulls land on his shoulders, some land on his hat,and they eat the shrimps.Long after the shrimps are gone his feathered friends remain.

Why is this man feeding seagulls?What could push him to do this as he does week after week?

The man in that scene is Eddie Rickenbacher, a famous World War Ⅱ pilot.His plane.The Flying Fortress,went down in 1942.No one could imagine that he and his eight passengers should escape death by climbing into two boats for thirty days.They fought thirst,the sun, and sharks.But what nearly killed them was starvation.Their foods were gone within eight days and they didn’t have anything left.

Every day Rickenbacher and the passengers would have a daily afternoon devotional and prayer time.One day after the devotional,Rickenbacher put his hat over his eyes and tried to get some sleep.Within a few moments he felt something on his head.He knew in an instant it was a seagull.All the others on the two boats noticed the seagull.No one spoke,no one moved.Rickenbacher quickly grabbed the seagull and with thanksgiving, they ate the flesh of the bird.They used the remains for fish bait(鱼饵)and survived.
