(2020·辽宁省五校协作体高三上学期联合模拟考试)Two years ago, my friend and I were at college. With his birthday quickly   __1__， he came to me with an unusual __2__： instead of receiving presents, he wanted to do some acts of kindness.

I was   __3__   with such an idea.   __4__    instead of taking for the birthday was really different. I asked him how he could come up with such a   __5__   idea. He told me about a TED talk he had watched on generosity, which had   __6__   him. So we started to   __7__   creative things we could do.

Our university employed some security guards to   __8__   its students. They have to work     __9__， keeping watch on every corner throughout the university. For the most part it's a thankless job as most people grow    __10__ to seeing the guards all around and eventually   __11__ notice their presence，let alone acknowledging their efforts. How could we show them our appreciation?

We decided to make a large pot of hot __12__. We hired a car and asked the driver to take us around the campus where we knew the   __13__ would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate. The driver was   __14__   a bit doubtful about the entire plan but after a while he was helping us __15__ the guards and our lively spirit had   __16__    to him as well. We met with many   __17__ and appreciative words. It was amazing to see how a   __18__  act or even an intention of generosity can lift everyone's spirit.

I now realize that special energy is created when you choose to think bigger than yourself and act in   __19__  of others. You'll find it's actually the greatest   __20__   you've never got, especially when it's your birthday.

【回答】

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。两年前，我和朋友在读大学的时候，在朋友生日那天，我们去做了一件善事。通过这次经历我意识到服务他人能带来特殊的能量。

1.D  根据第2空后的“receiving presents”可推知，朋友的生日临近。故选D。

2.B'根据语境可知，因为朋友的生日要到了，他向“我”提出了一个不同寻常的请求。故选B。

3.A　朋友过生日不想收礼物而想去做善事，所以“我”被他的想法所打动。be struck by/on/with sb./sth.意为“被某人(或某物)打动”，为固定用法，故选A。

4.C　根据空后的“instead of taking”并结合上文提到的朋友想在生日当天做善事可知，此处表示在生日时不是想获取而是要给予。故选C。

5.B　根据上文中的“really different”可知，“我”对他的想法感到非常意外，因此“我”问他是怎样想到一个这么新奇的(novel)点子的。

6.C　根据该句中的“a TED talk he had watched on generosity”并结合上文“我”问他怎样想到这个点子的可知，此处表示这个有关慷慨的TED演讲启发了(inspire)他。

7.A　根据文章第三段对“我们”的计划的叙述可知，这里表示“我们”开始筹划有创造*的事情。plan out意为“筹划”，故选A。

8.D　根据空前的“security guards”并结合常识可知，学校雇保安人员是为了保护学生。

9.B　根据空后的“keeping watch on every corner throughout the university”并结合常识可知，校园的保安人员夜以继日地维护学校的安全。around the clock意为“夜以继日地”，故选B。step by step意为“一步一步地”；more or less意为“或多或少，差不多”；now and then意为“有时”。

10.D　根据上文中的“it's a thankless job”及下文中的“let alone acknowledging their efforts”可知，通常这是一份受累不讨好的工作，因为保安人员在校园到处可以见到，大多数人对他们的存在变得习以为常。grow accustomed to意为“习惯于……”，故选D。

11.A　由空后“let alone acknowledging their efforts”可知，此处表示几乎注意不到他们的存在。barely “几乎不”，符合语境。

12.D　根据第13空后的“we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate”可知，这里表示“我们”决定制作一大壶热巧克力。故选D。

13.C　根据第15空后的“the guards”可知，“我们”租了一辆车，让司机带“我们”到校园里可以遇到保安人员的地方。故选C。

14.B　根据该句中的“after a while he was helping us”可知，刚开始的时候，司机对“我们”的整个计划有些怀疑。B项意为“最初”，故选B。

15.C　根据上文“我们”找寻保安人员可知，司机后来也帮助“我们”寻找保安人员。spot意为“发现”，故选C。

16.A　根据上文司机也开始帮助“我们”寻找保安人员可知，“我们”的精神传递到了司机那里。故选A。

17.D　根据空后的“appreciative words”可推知，很多人朝“我们”微笑，并赞赏“我们”。故选D。

18.B　根据该句中的“amazing” “even an intention of generosity”可推知，给保安人员送热巧克力这一小小的行为，或者即使是一种慷慨的意图，就可以让人精神振奋，这让“我们”惊讶不已。故选B。

19.A　根据文章第二至第四段所描述的“我们”为保安人员送热巧克力的经过可知，“我”现在意识到，当你思考的范围不只局限于自身，并且选择为他人服务的时候，一种特殊的能量就产生了。故选A。

20.C　根据该句中的“when it's your birthday”并结合第一段叙述的朋友过生日不要生日礼物而想做善事可知，为他人服务所产生的能量实际上是你之前从未得到的最好的礼物。故选C。
