九年级英语综合测试三 一．完形填空。 My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the ___1___ or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a ___2___ Christmas after all. However, the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle（陆续来临）in. There was a __3__ on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to welcome us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a __4__ on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had __5__ a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies. The __6__ feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food. As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas __7__ from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to help us to dig out. Then, we received an invitation to __8__ a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their __9__ —a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday. Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our neighbors. Our Christmas morning __10__ was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so __11__ for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays. This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The __12__ and work schedules just made things too difficult. Knowing that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were __13__ in the holidays. Lonely people are all around us, but most of us __14__ notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest __15__ gesture can make a world of difference. 1. A. chance B. time C. anxiety D. ability 2. A. merry
