Bill and John, both seriously ill, lived in the same room at Marie Hospital. John lived next to the only window of the room and was allowed to __16__ in his bed and watch for an hour every day. But Bill had to spend all his time __17__ on his back.
They became friends soon and talked for hours every day. They spoke of their families, their children, their hobbies, and their __18__ in the American army. Each day John would sit up and __19__ to his roommate Bill what he could see outside the window.
Through John's description, Bill's world was __20__ and brightened by all the activities and colors of the outside world. The window overlooked a beautiful park with a lovely __21__， John told Bill. Ducks played on the water __22__ children sailed their model boats. And a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As John described all these __23__， Bill would close his eyes and __24__ the picturesque (生动的)scene. Bill was recovering __25__. However, John became weak day by day.
Late one night, Bill was lying in bed __26__ the ceiling when John began to cough seriously. Then doctors and nurses rushed to the room. Thirty minutes later, John __27__ coughing. Now, there was only silence—__28__ silence.
The following morning, Bill was moved to the bed next to the window at his request. Slowly and __29__， he supported himself up on one elbow to take the first look. But to his __30__， he could see nothing but a __31__ wall.
Only at that moment did he begin to realize that the pursuit of happiness was a matter of __32__. It was a positive attitude we chose to express. It was not a gift that got __33__ to our doorstep each morning, nor did it come through the window. It was an inward journey. Whether a man is happy or not depends on his own thoughts __34__ anything outward.
So Bill began to describe the __35__ world to his new roommate that he saw through the only window of the room.

【回答】
窗口可以让我们看到外面的世界。我们的心灵之窗打开之后也能让我们在困境中看到生机。
16．B 考查逻辑与动词短语辨析。病人可以“坐起来”看窗外，另外第二段最后一句话也有提示。sit up意为“坐直，坐起来”； stand up意为“站起来”； set up意为“建立”； stay up意为“熬夜，不睡觉”。
17．A 考查上下文逻辑关系理解。从后文on his back看出比尔每天只能“躺着”。
18．A 考查词语搭配。service in the army意为“在部队服役”。说明两人聊起了在部队当兵的共同经历。
19．C 考查上下文关系理解。约翰向病友比尔“描述”窗外的景象。下一段有description提示。explain意为“解释”； complain意为“抱怨”； introduce意为“介绍”。
20．B 考查词语搭配。broadened 和 brightened相配，通过约翰的描述，比尔的世界“更开阔了”。expand指的是“发展，壮大”； affect意为“受到坏的影响”； damage意为“毁掉”，均不合题意。
21．B 考查上下文理解。从后文中Ducks played on the water可知应当是描写公园里有一个湖。
22．A 考查while引导的句式。while作连词表示前者和后者相对应。湖面上鸭子在游玩，而孩子们在开模型船。
23．D 考查上下文关系理解。in addition意为“另外”； in general意为“一般地，概括地”； in brief意为“简言之”； in detail意为“详细地”。
24．C 考查动词的运用。比尔看不见窗外的景*，只能根据约翰的描述来想象，因此，应当用imagine一词。而不是“看见”、“记得”、“认出”。
25．B 考查搭配。little by little意为“一点一点地”，修饰was recovering。 sooner or later意为“迟早”； up to now意为“直到现在”； one by one则是“一个接一个”。
26．B 考查语境中的逻辑理解。ceiling是“天花板”的意思，句意为“比尔躺在床上盯着天花板。”think about意为“考虑”； stare at意为“盯着”； hold up意为“举起”； fix on意为“选定，确定，集中”。
27．A 考查上下文逻辑关系理解。后句表明约翰死了。所以应该选择“停止咳嗽”。
28．A 考查形容词辨析。deadly意为“致命的，破坏*的，极其的”； dead意为“死的”； breathless意为“气喘吁吁的，喘不上气来”； aimless意为“漫无目的的”。句中修饰silence，应当用deadly，意为“非常肃静”。
29．D 考查对主旨的理解。比尔一直渴望看到窗外的风景，因此要求转到约翰的床上去，所以他“充满希望地”支起胳膊看窗外。regretfully意为“后悔地，遗憾地”； fortunately意为“幸运地”； particularly意为“特别地”； hopefully意为“充满希望地”。
30．A 考查上下文逻辑关系理解和名词辨析。比尔满心期待，却没有看到约翰所描述的景象，应当是感到吃惊。to one's surprise意为“令人吃惊的是”； to one's delight意为“令人高兴的是”； to one's relief意为“令人释然的是”； to one's anger意为“令人愤怒的是”。
31．B 考查上下文关系理解。a blank wall意为“一面空白的墙”，与前面约翰的描述反差很大，符合语境。simple意为“简单的”； colored意为“有颜*的”； painted意为“油漆的”。
32．C 考查上下文关系和主旨的理解。从后文中we chose to express可以看出是“一种态度的选择”，应当用choice。consideration意为“考虑”； expression意为“表达，表情”； practice意为“练习，实践”。
33．A 考查上下文关系理解和词语搭配。此句意为“对幸福的选择不像每天早上送到门口的礼物……”。deliver意为“投递，送交”。
34．D 考查短语辨析和语境中的逻辑理解。rather than连接两个部分，肯定前者，否定后者。句意为“是否幸福取决于一个人的态度而不是外界的因素”。better than意为“胜过，好于”； more than意为“超过”； other than意为“除了”。
35．C 考查形容词辨析和主旨理解。只要我们选择希望，生活应该是“充满生机和活力的”。 friendly，yearly，likely均为形容词，词意分别为“友好的”、“年度的”、“可能的”，词义均不恰当。
