10. 陕西省宝鸡中学2009届高三第四次模拟考试  完形填空

I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the  _21_  celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not  _22_  much from the war there, though, like most children of my age, I often saw  _23_  houses in the streets and the very big  _24_  lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become  _25_  to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously,  _26_  had been better, though I was too young to understand why,  _27_  there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had  _28_  heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very  _29_  to me. I did not remember what London was like.

What I remember now  _30_  V-Day was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting  _31_  and building an enormous bonfire. We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and  _32_  myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.

It was May and still broad  _33_  when my mother arrived, and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to  _34_  the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very  _35_ , and somehow people had collected some old clothes to  _36_  “Hitler” with the moustache they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames  _37_  soon. Everyone was cheering and shouting.

I stood beside my father until the  _38_  started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had  _39_  in the First World War and remembered everything he had experienced. At last he said, “Well, that’s it, son. Let’s hope that this time it really will be the  _40_  one”
