“Mommy, I’ve got something for you!” George ran through the door after school one day. He waved something above his head. “See, it's a lucky pen!”.（1）I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing special about it. But I didn’t realize how special it was at that moment.
I had made the decision to pursue a career in writing.（2）I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid to take a chance. I was scared of rejection.
The night before, I had voiced those fears to my husband when I thought George wasn’t listening. But George must have overheard us. Now he stood in front of me, watching me examine the pen. “You don’t have to be scared now” he said. “This pen will make your stories great and everyone will love you.” Tears filled my eyes.（3）Rejection didn’t seem like such a big deal any more. Even if I never sold the first story, I had everything I could ever need. George in my life!
I found out later how lucky I was when I heard what he did to get the pen. During lunch break at school that day, George heard a boy talking about a lucky pen he had.（4）The boy was a tough negotiator but George didn’t give up. In the end, he traded his lunch, his favorite cartoon book, and his new football, his most prized possession for that pen. Just to make me feel better.（5）It never fails to remind me just how lucky I am! I am the luckiest mother in the world now and forever.

第1题:
【文章大意】“妈咪，我有东西给你！”一天放学后，乔治跑进了门。他拿着什么在头顶挥了挥。“看，这是一支幸运笔！”他高兴而自豪地将笔递给我。我看着手中的笔。它没有什么特别之处。但我并没有意识到那一刻有多么特别。
我已经决定从事写作事业。对我来说，这是一个充满恐惧和焦虑的决定。我梦想了很长时间，但我害怕冒险。我害怕被拒绝。
前一天晚上，我向丈夫表达了这些恐惧，我以为乔治没有在听。但乔治一定是无意中听到了我们的声音。现在他站在我面前，看着我检查钢笔。“你现在不必害怕，”他说。“这支笔会让你的故事变得精彩，每个人都会爱你。”我的眼里充满了泪水。我抓住他，紧紧地抱住他。拒绝似乎不再是什么大不了的事了。即使我从未卖掉第一个故事，我也拥有了我可能需要的一切。我生命中的乔治！
后来，当我听到他为拿到笔所做的事情时，我发现我是多么幸运。那天在学校的午休时间，乔治听到一个男孩谈论他有一支幸运笔。他想给我买。这个男孩是一个很难搞定的谈判者，但乔治没有放弃。最后，他用他的午餐、他最喜欢的卡通书和他的新足球，他最珍贵的财产换了那支笔。只是为了让我感觉好点。我还留着那支笔，虽然它的墨水早就没了。它总是提醒我我是多么幸运！现在和永远我都是世界上最幸运的母亲。
【选项释义】
A.他把它当作生日礼物。
B.这对我而言是一个充满恐惧和焦虑的决定。
C.他想给我买。
D.他高兴又自豪地把笔递给我。
E.我抓住他，紧紧地抱住他。
F.我仍然留着那支笔，尽管它早就没墨水了。
【答案】D
【原文考查】上下文关联题
【解题思路】根据空格上句话"He waved something above his head. “See, it's a lucky pen!”.（1）I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing special about it."提到George有东西要给“我”，是一支幸运钢笔。下文又提到“我”看着手里的钢笔，没有什么特别之处。说明中间缺少的部分应该是George将钢笔交到我手上。所以选项D放在此处最恰当。故本题选D。
第2题:
【答案】B
【原文考查】上下文关联题
【解题思路】根据空格上下文"I had made the decision to pursue a career in writing.（2）I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid to take a chance."上一句的内容“我很早就已经做出了从事写作的决定。”下文又提到“我梦想了很长时间但又不敢冒险。”由此可知，这对于“我”来说是一个充满恐惧和焦虑的决定，所以选项B符合语境。故本题选B。
第3题:
【答案】E
【原文考查】推理判断题
【解题思路】根据空格上一句提到"Tears filled my eyes."泪水在我的眼眶里打转，说明“我”被儿子感动到了，所以下一步的动作应该是将儿子紧紧抱在怀里，所以选项E符合语境。故本题选E。
第4题:
【答案】C
【原文考查】上下文关联题
【解题思路】根据上文的内容"George heard a boy talking about a lucky pen he had."乔治听到一个男孩说他有一支幸运的钢笔，以及首段乔治挥舞着笔，高兴地递给我。所以他想要得到那支笔送给“我”，选项C符合语境。故本题选C。
第5题:
【答案】F
【原文考查】上下文关联题
【解题思路】根据空格下文的内容"It never fails to remind me just how lucky I am!"它总是提醒我，我是多么幸运!”这里的“它”就是指这支钢笔，说明“我”还一直保留着它，尽管已经没有墨水很长时间了。所以选项F正确。故本题选F。
