一、完形填空(每小题1分,满分15分)
The art teacher Mrs White would leave soon for her country. “Why not make a 1 book about our school for her?” Peter thought.
One day, Peter was drawing while his little sister Becky was watching with great 2. Just then, his friend Jeff came to visit him. “Hi, Peter! Do you want to 3 in the yard?” Jeff asked.
“I'd like to, but it's too cold outside!” Peter said.
“Yeah,” Jeff said. “It's also the perfect 4 for not getting too hot.”
That was a cool thing about Jeff. He always looked on the 5 side of almost everything.
“Let's go!” Peter ran out with Jeff, leaving the drawings on the table.
They played the ball game for an hour and then they went back happily. 6 when Peter opened the door, his heart nearly stopped. Right there, Becky was 7 his book!
“Stop, Becky!” Peter ran over, trying to stop her. But it was too 8! Almost every page was coloured.
“What did you do?” Peter shouted 9.
“I just wanted to give a hand ...” Becky began to cry.
“My drawings are gone forever!” Peter felt 10 and looked at Jeff for help.
“Unless(除非) ...” said Jeff.
“Unless what?”
“Remember the jigsaw puzzle(拼图)? We can 11 something new from these pictures.”
“Can we make it?” Peter asked.
“I'm not sure, but we can try,” Jeff said.
First, the boys cut the drawings into 12, such as their brown teaching buildings, a green playground and so on. Then, they put all these pieces together and 13 a jigsaw. Finally, they even added more paints. Days later, a beautiful “14” was in front of them.
“Thanks, guys!” Mrs White smiled. “I love this 15 so much. It will make me think of many great memories here.”
So, you see, what a difference a smart mind makes! Jeff's way of dealing with things did help.

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了美术老师怀特夫人即将回国，彼得想制作一本关于学校的书送给她，期间妹妹贝基意外给画涂色，最后在杰夫的帮助下将画改造成拼图的故事。
1. C 根据下文“Peter was drawing”可知，彼得在画画，由此可推断他想做的是“图画书”，picture 符合语境。故选 C。
2. C 根据“Becky was watching with great...”可知，此处表示贝基观看时的状态，“饶有兴趣地看着”符合语境。故选 C。
3. A 根据下文“They played the ball game”可知，他们玩的是球类运动，play basketball 符合语境。故选 A。
4. B 根据上文“it's too cold outside”可知，此处讨论的是天气情况，weather 符合语境，指“寒冷的天气不会让人觉得太热”。故选 B。
5. A 根据上文“It's also the perfect... for not getting too hot.”可知，杰夫把寒冷的天气看作优点，说明他总看到事物好的一面，good 符合语境。故选 A。
6. B 根据上文“they went back happily”和下文“his heart nearly stopped”可知，前后为转折关系，彼得开心回家却发现意外，but 表转折。故选 B。
7. D 根据下文“Almost every page was coloured.”可知，贝基给书的每一页都涂了色，colouring 符合语境。故选 D。
8. B 根据“Almost every page was coloured.”可知，贝基已经涂完了大部分书页，彼得阻止时已经来不及了，late 符合语境。故选 B。
9. D 根据上文“What did you do?”和彼得的反应可知，他对贝基的行为感到生气，angrily 符合语境。故选 D。
10. A 根据“My drawings are gone forever!”可知，彼得认为画被毁了，情绪低落，down 符合语境。故选 A。
11. D 根据下文“they put all these pieces together and... a jigsaw”可知，他们把画剪成碎片拼成立体拼图，这是一种“设计”行为，design 符合语境。故选 D。
12. A 根据“such as their brown teaching buildings, a green playground”可知，他们把画剪成了教学楼、操场等具体“形状”，shapes 符合语境。故选 A。
13. C 根据“put all these pieces together”可知，他们把碎片组合起来“制作”了拼图，made 符合语境。故选 C。
14. A 根据上文“make a... book about our school”可知，他最初想制作关于学校的书，最终拼图呈现的也是学校的场景，school 符合语境。故选 A。
15. B 根据上文“make a... book about our school”和“a beautiful‘...’was in front of them”可知，虽然形式从图画书变成了拼图，但本质仍是送给老师的“书”，book 符合语境。故选 B。

【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文理清故事主线：本文讲述了Peter打算为即将回国的美术老师制作一本关于学校的图画书当礼物，中途妹妹意外把画涂花，最后在好友Jeff的提议下把画改造成创意拼图礼物的暖心故事。解题时不要孤立看单个句子选答案，每一个空都要回到前后文找对应的提示线索：比如提到Peter一直在画画就对应第一空的图画书，后文提到玩球类运动就对应第三空的篮球选项，出现情绪反差就选转折连词，所有选项都要贴合故事逻辑和上下文给出的明确提示，就能顺利选出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 选C。根据后文提到的"Peter was drawing"可知Peter一直在画画，他打算做的是图画书，picture符合语境。
2. 选C。此处描述妹妹Becky看Peter画画的状态，"with great interest"表示饶有兴致地观看，符合语境。
3. 选A。根据后文"They played the ball game"的提示，他们进行的是球类运动，play basketball符合球类运动的设定。
4. 选B。前文提到Peter说外面太冷，此处讨论的是天气相关的内容，Jeff调侃冷的天气刚好不会太热，weather符合语境。
5. 选A。前文Jeff把寒冷的天气当成优点，说明他总是能看到事情好的一面，look on the good side是常用表达，符合人物性格设定。
6. 选B。前文说两人玩得很开心地回家，后文说Peter心脏都要停了，出现了情绪和情节的强烈反差，是转折关系，用But连接。
7. 选D。后文明确提到"Almost every page was coloured"，说明Becky正在给书页涂色，colouring符合语境。
8. 选B。几乎每一页都被涂完了，说明Peter想要阻止的时候已经太晚了，late符合语境。
9. 选D。自己辛苦画的内容被妹妹涂花，Peter此时是生气地大吼，angrily符合情绪设定。
10. 选A。Peter觉得自己的画彻底毁了，此时情绪很低落，down可以表示情绪低落，符合语境。
11. 选D。Jeff提议参考拼图的思路，在这些涂花的画的基础上设计出新的东西，design符合语境。
12. 选A。后文举例提到教学楼、操场等不同的图案，说明他们把画剪成了不同的形状，shapes符合语境。
13. 选C。把所有的碎片拼到一起，制作出了拼图，made符合动作逻辑。
14. 选A。他们最初做的就是关于学校的纪念内容，最终完成的拼图呈现的是整个学校的场景，所以此处指代的是"学校"主题的作品。
15. 选B。呼应开头Peter打算做的送给老师的纪念书，哪怕形式变成了创意拼图，本质还是这份承载回忆的礼物书，book符合全文的线索呼应。
