Last Friday,after he arrived at the school,instead of finding garbage to clean up,he found almost 800 students lining the hallways with handmade cards,blowing noisemakers and singing a full-throated happy birthday to him. It was his 80th. As he walked the long hallway,some popped out of lime to hug him. They handed him so many cards that they filled several large boxes. Touched by their enthusiastic expression of affection. Mabry thanked them all. \like my children,\
On a regular day,students at the school sometimes come up to him to say they're not feeling well or other times to tell him about something that happened at break. He knows most of the kids at the school,but can't name each one. Some of them make him know them. Like Faith,who often forgets her backpack in the cafeteria,and Lucy,who just wants a hug.
“He won't brag(夸耀)on himself,but it doesn't matter what he's doing or where he is,he will always stop what he's doing to take care of a child if that child is having a bad day. If a child approaches him,he will pause to give that child his undivided attention. He's the most loved one in this building,\,a reading teacher.
Mabry works circles around all the students,cleaning up messes others don't want to touch. He doesn't expect a lot. Mabry said he hadn't planned to do much for his milestone birthday,so he was happy the students had prepared the surprise celebration.

【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。文中记叙了一位清洁工Mabry,他的日常工作就是清扫学校大楼。Mabry 爱学生,关心学生。学生们也尊敬他,喜欢他。在他80生日那天,学生们用自己的方式祝贺他的生日,表达了对Mabry的热爱。 56.
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Haze Mabry, who has works as a school keeper for thirteen years, walks into the school building every day and empty garbage cans, wipes down bathrooms, and mops wet messes in the hallways.”可知Haze Mabry是一位清洁工,他的日常工作就是清扫学校大楼。因此本句的答案可为:Cleaning the (school) building; Or:doing(the) cleaning; Or: He cleans the (school)building; Or: He does (the) cleaning. 57.
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Last Friday,...he found almost 800 students lining the hallways with handmade cards, blowing noisemakers and singing a full-throated happy birthday to him.和some popped out of line to hug him.”可知,上个周五,他发现几乎有800名学生在走廊里排队,拿着手制卡片,吹口哨,为他唱了一首响亮的生日快乐歌,拥抱他。因此答案为:
By lining the hallways, blowing noisemakers, singing a song, handing him cards, and hugging him. Or: By lining the hallways with (handmade) cards, blowing noisemakers, singing a song, and hugging him.
Or: They lined the hallways, blew noisemakers, sang a song, handed him cards, and hugged him. Or: They lined the hallways with (handmade) card, blew noisemakers, sang a song, handed him cards, and hugged him. 58.
猜测题意题。根据第二段学生们为Mabry庆祝生日的方式和划线词后的内容“Mabry thanked them all,”以及“They’re like my children.”可知 Mabry 爱学生,把学生当作自己的孩子。那么学生们也表达了他们对Mabry的热爱。因此Mabry被学生的爱所感动,故所以的“affection”相当于“Love”,故填love。 Or: liking. Or: Fondness.
