There once was a place  36  all the people were happy and  37 . Everyone was friendly and neighborly. Even the dogs and cats  38  together.
Then one day a stranger was seen  39  toward the village: a tall, tall stranger. As the stranger, who was a giant,  40  closer and closer, the people all ran into their houses and wouldn't come out.
The giant  41  the village. He was enormous, towering over everything.  42  a little girl stepped out on her porch. She jumped down from her porch. Her family yelled, "STOP! COME BACK! That's a giant!" But she didn't stop. She began to walk  43  the giant.
The strangest thing  44  . As the child walked toward the giant, he grew  45  . Soon he was the same size as the girl. As she came beside the giant, she  46  him. She stooped down and gently  47  the giant up in her hands, asking, "What's your name?"
The giant whispered, "My name is F-E-A-R! Help me!! I have a terrible  48  . I guess I look strange. When I meet people they are afraid of me. And when people are afraid of me, I suddenly grow into a giant and everybody runs away from me. YOU are not afraid of me, so I stayed small. Do you  49  it? It's crazy! Please help me!"
"I can take you for a walk through our village," the girl responded. "I want everyone to hear of your problem. When they know the truth, they will no  50  be afraid of you. While we are going from house to house you can look at me  51  , and then you will stay the same size as you are now.
"But  52  we go, let's change your name. What do you want to be called? YOU should not be called FEAR, because YOU are not afraid. It's the people who look at you  53  fear you. That's what causes you to grow into a giant."
"Will you hold my hand  54  ? If I get scared I'll shut my eyes. Oh, and will you please call me  55  ."

點評：本文講述了巨人和小女孩的故事，巨人的巨大是因為別人對他的恐懼；如果別人不害怕他，他就變得渺小。這個故事告訴我們要戰(zhàn)勝我們自己內(nèi)心的恐懼就戰(zhàn)勝了一切。我們才是自己最大的敵人。本文要求考生具有扎實的英語詞組、短語、習慣用法等英語搭配的知識，這對于理解文章的邏輯關系特別有利。文章的邏輯關系不外乎列舉、原因、結(jié)果、讓步、對照、補充、目的、條件等關系。解題時應聯(lián)系上下文尋找相關線索，如某一個詞的原詞、指代詞、同義詞、近義詞、上義詞、下義詞和概括詞等。但由于我們在做題時不可能總是重復地閱讀文章，因此，在做完形填空時要培養(yǎng)一種捕捉并記憶相關信息的能力。

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.
ericans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home.
