Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more 36 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its _37 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David
David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often _38 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 39 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 40 . I can still remember he was always 41 a smile and willing to help. He always 42 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He 43 just smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 44 home
Weeks passed and the 45 ovre the ing Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 46 before the holiday break. I smiled in 47 as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David 48 standing by my desk.
“I have something for you”he said and 49 from behind his back a small box. 50 it to me, he said anxiously. “Open it,”I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lift the lid and to my 51 saw nothing. I looked at David‘s smiling face and back into the box and said. “The box is nice, David, but it’s 52 ”
“Oh no it isn’t,”said David. “It’s full of love, my mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there”
Tears filled my eyes 53 Iooked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given 54 to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 55 the little empty box set on my desk

网友回答
(答案→)A
解析：
【小题1】本题考查学生对文章的理解和对词义的辨析，anxious焦急的；急切的。
【小题2】本题中its指的是school bell 所以只能和ring搭配。
【小题3】本题考查动词词义的辨析，有下文可知David穿的衣服和季节不符，所以作者一直“想知道”what kind of home life David had, 所以用wondered。
【小题4】本题考查副词词义的辨析，inappropriately 不适当地，根据下文中的without a coat, boots, or gloves可知David穿得不合适。
【小题5】本题考查形容词的词义辨析，special特殊的；特别的，上文中说到David穿得不好，下文中说到作者能记得的是David 脸上一直挂着微笑，总是乐于助人，说明他与众不同。
【小题6】本题考查动词的辨析，wear呈现，显现，在这儿意思是面笑容。
【小题7】本题考查动词的辨析，David在放学后待在学校摆齐凳子，拖地，由此可知别人都走了，只有David留了下来，故选D。
【小题8】本题考查情态动词的辨析，上下句讲述的是过去经常发生的事情，所以选择would：老是，总是。
【小题9】本题考查动词词组辨析：根据上下文可知：David打扫完教室后回家，所以选择 head for：朝……进发，前进。A：目标是； B：转向；C：推迟。
【小题10】本题考查名词的辨析，通篇文章是以圣诞节的来临为主线，excitement指学生期待已久的圣诞到来的兴奋之情。
【小题11】本题考查名词的辨析，由上下文可知圣诞节到了，要放假，因此是上学的最后一天，所以选择school day，D项是干扰项，但D项范围太大，不是受教育的结束。
【小题12】本题考查名词的辨析；由“学生都走了”判断老师也可以休息了，所以选择relief：轻松，宽慰。
【小题13】本题考查副词的辨析：由上下文可知，没有特殊的事情发生在David身上，因此不会造车的那个David的情绪变化，再根据上文交代的David比较沉静，可知这儿应是David静静地站在讲桌旁。
【小题14】本题考查动词的辨析，此处应是David从身后把那个盒子拉出来。
【小题15】本题考查动词的辨析，此处David要给老师送礼物，所以选择hand sth. to sb. ：把……交给某人。
【小题16】本题考查名词的辨析，既然是送给老师的礼物，盒子里应该有东西，而老师打开后盒子是空的，所以感到惊奇。
【小题17】本题考查形容词的辨析，由上文中的saw nothing和下文中的It’s full of love。可知选B。
【小题18】本题考查连词的用法，as 在这儿引导时间状语从句。
【小题19】本题考查句词的辨析，由前文中的We never talked much可知，作者并没对David注意太多。
【小题20】本题考查介词的辨析，由整篇文章可知，这儿是空盒子背后的意义。
