A
Revolutionary Glasses Make It Safe to Drive at Night
Did you know that more than 40 percent of all deadly car accidents occur at night? A recent breakthrough eyeglass technology has made it safe to drive at night. It’s almost like having “X-ray” vision (视力) while driving.
Spend money on your safety and peace of mind behind the wheel with a pair of these cutting-edge night driving glasses. The amount of car accidents that occur at night is mostly the result of poor visibility. Even with 60% less traffic on the road at night, accidents still happen due to blinding light and just overall bad driving visibility.
Imagine being able to clearly see what’s in front of you and what’s approaching, even if it’s very dark and foggy. Once you start wearing ClearView night glasses, you’ll feel much more confident and safe driving when it’s getting dark. With ClearView you will notice an instant reduction in strong light from oncoming traffic and bright street lights.
This is because the special yellow lens tint (镜片色彩) can block strong blue light, and increase contrast (对比). ClearView passes the global traffic light standard for safer sharper vision at night with flying colors.
You can start using ClearView immediately even if you wear glasses. Simply place ClearView on top of your glasses and be amazed by the difference this technology makes!
Is it worth it? Absolutely! Keep a pair in each of your cars to make sure you have your glasses at hand when night comes. If you care about your family’s safety then this is a no-brainer.
1. According to the text, the main cause of unsafe driving at night is________.
A heavy traffic B. low visibility C. poor eyesight D. bad driving
2. How does ClearView make it safe to drive at night?
A. It cures night blindness.
B. It passes the national standard.
C. It provides “X-ray” vision for drivers.
D. It reduces the brightness of strong light.
3. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To inform. B. To explain. C. To promote. D. To entertain.
B
Herman the pigeon was rescued from a car dealership in Hilton, New York one year ago. The helpless bird, which turned out to be suffering from some neurological (神经系统的) condition, had been found sitting on the pavement for three days before his rescuers realized he was unable to fly.
After wildlife specialists declared Herman untreatable, they prepared to euthanize (使安乐死) him — that's when Sue Rogers stepped in to save him. Rogers is the founder of The Mia Foundation, a nonprofit committed to rescuing and rehabilitating animals with physical defects (缺陷). Over the course of the last year, Rogers has cared for Herman, keeping him in a small bed with high sides when not on daily outings to stimulate his little legs.
More recently, however, Herman was paired with an unlikely roommate: a Chihuahua puppy named Lundy who was unable to move his back legs. Rogers was amazed by how quickly Lundy befriended his feathered roommate. She had only briefly placed the two animals together in a bed before they started leaning close to each other. They have since become almost inseparable.
Furthermore, the foundation has been flooded with thousands of dollars in donations since Rogers posted some photos of Herman and Lundy to social media last week. "I never imagined the pictures of Lundy and Herman would touch so many people! Almost 5 million people in a little over 24 hours!! Their little story is being shared all over the world!" wrote Rogers. "And thank you also for the donations coming in," she added. "We really do need them as we have a few surgeries coming up soon! It brings me to tears to think that our little Herman is known worldwide now! And Lundy... well, who wouldn't love that sweet little thing?"
4. Why was Herman unable to fly?
A. He hurt his legs.
B. He had some mental issues.
C. He got wounds on his feather.
D. He developed some neurological disease.
5. What does the underlined word "rehabilitating" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. recovering B. training C. protecting D. studying
6. What is Rogers' reaction to Herman and Lundy's being popular on the Internet?
A. Awkward. B. Amazed. C. Disappointed. D. Anxious.
7 What can we learn from the story?
A. Everything is hard in the beginning.
B. Misfortune never comes alone.
C. Where there is love there is life.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
C
We often hear about schools cutting back on bus routes to save money, yet plenty of communities have their buses stopping almost as often as the mail truck. The presence of sidewalks and the safety of area roads play a role in determining who can enjoy door-to-door or off-street pickup services. But Peter Mannella, head of the New York Association for Pupil Transportation, says community culture can play an even larger role in traffic conditions.
For example: Several years ago, Bethlehem tried spacing out its stops, says Mannella. The parents were displeased, expressing as much and, within three days, the routes were back to their original frequency. "You can say ’We are going to save $100,000 by not stopping at every house,’ but parents don’t want their kids walking," Mannella says. As you’d expect, this is especially true in bad weather or during winter.
As a student in the 1980s, we walked to our stops. The neighborhood wait-spot was a good quarter mile away. Parents didn’t make a fuss (大惊小怪), and no child was injured. In fact, the walking was good — it woke us up each morning. Not to mention the sense of community we felt each morning waiting for the bus to pick us up and take us to school.
The thing is, a lot has changed since the 1980s. Too many people are texting and driving, making them as dangerous on the roads as drunken drivers. And, with fewer employees in many companies, parents often work longer hours, meaning they aren’t around to guard their kids to and from stops like many parents did when we were growing up.
So I understand that their kids don’t have to walk a mile to and from school every day. I can’t agree with the complaints of having kids walk to a community neighborhood stop, though. If you worry they’re going to be cold, get them a hat. If you fear they may miss the bus, send them out the door five minutes earlier.
8. What do we know about Bethlehem’s plan?
A. It ended up in failure. B. It lasted for a long time.
C. It wasn’t put into practice. D. It saved a lot of money.
9. What can we learn about students in the 1980s from paragraph 3?
A. They woke up early in the morning.
B. They lived just a stone’s throw from the bus stop.
C. They enjoyed socializing with neighbors.
D. They benefited by walking to a neighborhood stop.
10. Why are today’s parents unwilling to let their children walk to a neighborhood stop?
A. Careless drivers bring about safety risks.
B. The weather conditions are terrible in winter.
C. Children might be late for school.
D. The house-to-house pickup is available.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards children walking to bus stops?
A. Doubtful. B. Cautious.
C. Supportive. D. Critical.
D
A physical checkup often begins with a series of questions: What foods do you eat? Do you smoke? Getting any exercise? New research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list: What was your college major? The study finds one’s chosen field of college study is a statistically significant predictor of health in midlife.
The researchers find the four majors associated with the best midlife health are architecture/engineering, biology/life sciences, business, and—here’s a surprise—communications/journalism. Perhaps chasing after big stories keeps us journalists in shape.
It has long been established that people with more education tend to be healthier. But does one’s major matter? To find out, the researchers analyzed data from the nationally representative American Community Survey.
Their sample consisted of 3.7 million United States-born adults between the ages of 45 and 64—the time of life when physical functioning problems start to appear. Participants noted whether they had difficulty walking or climbing stairs, dressing or bathing. A “yes” answer in any of those categories resulted in a grade of relatively poor health.
The researchers focused on the 667,362 participants who earned a bachelor’s degree, but went no further in their education. They noted each person’s college major, which they placed into one of 15 categories. They found substantial differences in health across majors. Two majors are particularly disadvantaged in midlife. The chances of poor health are 1.9 times greater among psychology /social work and law/public policy majors compared to business majors. The researchers argue this is likely due to several factors. Psychology majors tend to suffer from high unemployment and low earnings. Law/public policy majors often enter the field of law enforcement(执行).
The researchers say that they have discovered associations, not proof of causality(因果关系). But they make a convincing case that some majors lead people to live healthier lifestyles than others.
Their findings might even inspire a warning country song: Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be psychology majors.
12. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs?
A. Smoking can lead to poor health. B. Diet is more important than exercise.
C. Physical checkups keep you healthy. D. College major chould be added to a checkup.
13. How do researchers draw their conclusions?
A. By doing face-to-face interviews. B. By following participants’ daily routines.
C. By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the representative data.
14. Which of the following is against midlife health according to the researchers?
A. Engineering. B. Business. C. Psychology. D. Agriculture.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. College majors can predict midlife health.
B. More majors in college can improve health.
C. The annual physical exam is necessary to life.
D. People with more education tend to be healthier.

People have always believed that nature is good for health and happiness. According to scientific studies, being in nature makes people less stressed. In a recent experiment in Japan, one group of people were asked to walk through a forest while another group had to walk through a busy city. ____16____. However, researchers found that after the walks, the people who had walked in the forest had better moods, less anxiety and even lower blood pressure.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I remember that I was worn out when I got home that afternoon. I'd had to be at the theatre for the audition (试演) at nine that morning, and then I'd been waiting around for about three hours before the director finally saw me. I performed my song and almost at once he told me I could go home. “I am very sorry,”he said,“but your voice isn't quite right for the part.”It had been a similar story at all the auditions that I'd done over the past few weeks.
It had been my dream for years to be in a famous musical like The Sound of Music or Mamma Mia, so I'd taken lessons in singing and dancing, and had come to the city to try and get a part in a show. I'd been really pleased when I'd managed to set up no fewer than ten auditions, but so far all of them had gone the same way. As I arrived back that afternoon at the little apartment where I rented a room, I really wondered whether I should bother going to the eleventh the next morning. It was a show I'd have loved to be in — but really, what was the point? Someone I knew had told me about a job at a local coffee shop, and had said that if I called in for a quick chat at ten the next day, I'd almost certainly get the job. It meant missing the audition, but right now, it seemed like a much more sensible thing to do.
I always sing when I need to cheer myself up, and because there was no one else in the apartment, I slipped off my shoes, went and stood in front of the mirror and started singing.Quite quickly I found myself belting out (大声唱) one of my favourite songs, Bridge over Troubled Water. As I finished the song, I suddenly heard applause. I looked around the room thinking that my roommate had perhaps slipped in without me noticing — but there was nobody. Then I went over to the open window of the apartment, and saw an elderly woman standing on the far side of the pavement below, looking up at me.

Herman the pigeon was rescued from a car dealership in Hilton, New York one year ago. The helpless bird, which turned out to be suffering from some neurological (神经系统的) condition, had been found sitting on the pavement for three days before his rescuers realized he was unable to fly.
After wildlife specialists declared Herman untreatable, they prepared to euthanize (使安乐死) him — that's when Sue Rogers stepped in to save him. Rogers is the founder of The Mia Foundation, a nonprofit committed to rescuing and rehabilitating animals with physical defects (缺陷). Over the course of the last year, Rogers has cared for Herman, keeping him in a small bed with high sides when not on daily outings to stimulate his little legs.
More recently, however, Herman was paired with an unlikely roommate: a Chihuahua puppy named Lundy who was unable to move his back legs. Rogers was amazed by how quickly Lundy befriended his feathered roommate. She had only briefly placed the two animals together in a bed before they started leaning close to each other. They have since become almost inseparable.
Furthermore, the foundation has been flooded with thousands of dollars in donations since Rogers posted some photos of Herman and Lundy to social media last week. "I never imagined the pictures of Lundy and Herman would touch so many people! Almost 5 million people in a little over 24 hours!! Their little story is being shared all over the world!" wrote Rogers. "And thank you also for the donations coming in," she added. "We really do need them as we have a few surgeries coming up soon! It brings me to tears to think that our little Herman is known worldwide now! And Lundy... well, who wouldn't love that sweet little thing?"
4. Why was Herman unable to fly?
A. He hurt his legs.
B. He had some mental issues.
C. He got wounds on his feather.
D. He developed some neurological disease.
5. What does the underlined word "rehabilitating" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. recovering B. training C. protecting D. studying
6. What is Rogers' reaction to Herman and Lundy's being popular on the Internet?
A. Awkward. B. Amazed. C. Disappointed. D. Anxious.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. Everything is hard in the beginning.
B. Misfortune never comes alone.
C. Where there is love there is life.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,叙述了两只受伤的动物在Sue Rogers的救助下成了形影不离的好朋友。Sue Rogers将它们的照片发布到了社交媒体上,感动了无数网友。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The helpless bird, which turned out to be suffering from some neurological (神经系统) condition, had been found sitting on the pavement for three days before his rescuers realized he was unable to fly.”(这只无助的鸟被发现患有一些神经系统的疾病,他在人行道上坐了三天,直到他的救援者意识到他不能飞翔。)可知,Herman不能飞翔是因为他患有神经系统的疾病。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词所在句“Rogers is the founder of The Mia Foundation, a nonprofit committed to rescuing and rehabilitating animals with physical defects.”(Rogers是The Mia Foundation的创始人,这是一个致力于拯救和rehabilitating有身体缺陷的动物的非营利组织。)以及下文“Over the course of the last year, Rogers has cared for Herman, keeping him in a small bed with high sides when not on daily outings to stimulate his little legs.(在过去的一年里,Rogers一直在照顾Herman,当他不在日常外出时,他会把他放在一张高高的小床上,以刺激他的小腿)”可推知,Mia Foundation组织是专门让救助动物的,Rogers刺激 Herman的小腿也是为咯让他康复,再根据rescuing判断出,rehabilitating意为“使康复”,与recovering意思相近。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““I never imagined the pictures of Lundy and Herman would touch so many people! Almost 5 million people in a little over 24 hours!! Their little story is being shared all over the world!” wrote Rogers.”(“我从未想过Lundy和Herman的照片会触动这么多人!在短短24小时内,几乎有500万人在关注!他们的小故事正在全世界分享!”Rogers写道。)可知,Rogers对Herman和Lundy在互联网上的受欢迎感到惊讶。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。全文叙述了两只受伤的动物在Sue Rogers的救助下成了形影不离的好朋友。Sue Rogers将它们的照片发布到了社交媒体上,感动了无数网友。可以看出这个故事主要表达的是爱的力量,即使是身体有缺陷的动物,也能在爱的关照下过上快乐的生活,他们的故事也能触动人们的心,带来爱的力量。因此,爱能带来生命。故选C。

We often hear about schools cutting back on bus routes to save money, yet plenty of communities have their buses stopping almost as often as the mail truck. The presence of sidewalks and the safety of area roads play a role in determining who can enjoy door-to-door or off-street pickup services. But Peter Mannella, head of the New York Association for Pupil Transportation, says community culture can play an even larger role in traffic conditions.
For example: Several years ago, Bethlehem tried spacing out its stops, says Mannella. The parents were displeased, expressing as much and, within three days, the routes were back to their original frequency. "You can say ’We are going to save $100,000 by not stopping at every house,’ but parents don’t want their kids walking," Mannella says. As you’d expect, this is especially true in bad weather or during winter.
As a student in the 1980s, we walked to our stops. The neighborhood wait-spot was a good quarter mile away. Parents didn’t make a fuss (大惊小怪), and no child was injured. In fact, the walking was good — it woke us up each morning. Not to mention the sense of community we felt each morning waiting for the bus to pick us up and take us to school.
The thing is, a lot has changed since the 1980s. Too many people are texting and driving, making them as dangerous on the roads as drunken drivers. And, with fewer employees in many companies, parents often work longer hours, meaning they aren’t around to guard their kids to and from stops like many parents did when we were growing up.
So I understand that their kids don’t have to walk a mile to and from school every day. I can’t agree with the complaints of having kids walk to a community neighborhood stop, though. If you worry they’re going to be cold, get them a hat. If you fear they may miss the bus, send them out the door five minutes earlier.
8. What do we know about Bethlehem’s plan?
A. It ended up in failure. B. It lasted for a long time.
C. It wasn’t put into practice. D. It saved a lot of money.
9. What can we learn about students in the 1980s from paragraph 3?
A. They woke up early in the morning.
B. They lived just a stone’s throw from the bus stop.
C. They enjoyed socializing with neighbors.
D. They benefited by walking to a neighborhood stop.
10. Why are today’s parents unwilling to let their children walk to a neighborhood stop?
A. Careless drivers bring about safety risks.
B. The weather conditions are terrible in winter.
C. Children might be late for school.
D. The house-to-house pickup is available.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards children walking to bus stops?
A. Doubtful. B. Cautious.
C. Supportive. D. Critical.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文,作者回忆了上世纪 80 年代学生步行到社区站点乘车的好处,分析了现在的家长们不再愿意那样做的原因,并表达了对学生步行去站点乘车这一做法的支持。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“The parents were unhappy, expressed as much and, within three days, the routes were back to their original frequency.(家长们很不高兴,并且在三天之内,这些路线又改回到了原来的站点设置)”可知,Bethlehem计划中,新的校车线路实施不到三天,这些路线又改回到了原来的样子,由此可知该计划以失败告终。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“In fact, the walking was good — it woke us up each morning. Not to mention, the sense of community that came with hanging out together each morning waiting for bus No. 23 to roll up and take us all to school. (事实上,步行去乘车的感觉很好——它每天早上唤醒我们。更不用说,每天早上在一起等23路公交车来送我们去学校带来的那种社区归属感)”可推知,上世纪80年代的学生受益于走路去社区校车站。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“Thing is, a lot has changed since the 1980s. Too many people are texting and driving, making them as dangerous on the roads as drunken drivers.(问题是,20世纪80年代以来发生了很多变化。太多人边开车边发短信,这使得他们在路上和酒后驾车的人一样危险)”可推知,粗心的司机会带来安全隐患,所以不愿意让孩子们走路去乘车。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的句子“I can’t agree with the complaints of having kids walk to a community neighborhood stop, though. If you worry they’re going to be cold, get them a hat. If you fear they may miss the bus, send them out the door five minutes earlier.(不过,我不赞同对让孩子步行到社区站乘车的抱怨。如果你担心他们会觉得冷,给他们带顶帽子。如果你担心他们错过公共汽车,让他们提前5分钟出门)”可推知,作者认为让孩子步行到社区站乘车不应该遭到抱怨,他支持让孩子步行到社区站乘车。故选C。
D
A physical checkup often begins with a series of questions: What foods do you eat? Do you smoke? Getting any exercise? New research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list: What was your college major? The study finds one’s chosen field of college study is a statistically significant predictor of health in midlife.
The researchers find the four majors associated with the best midlife health are architecture/engineering, biology/life sciences, business, and—here’s a surprise—communications/journalism. Perhaps chasing after big stories keeps us journalists in shape.
It has long been established that people with more education tend to be healthier. But does one’s major matter? To find out, the researchers analyzed data from the nationally representative American Community Survey.
Their sample consisted of 3.7 million United States-born adults between the ages of 45 and 64—the time of life when physical functioning problems start to appear. Participants noted whether they had difficulty walking or climbing stairs, dressing or bathing. A “yes” answer in any of those categories resulted in a grade of relatively poor health.
The researchers focused on the 667,362 participants who earned a bachelor’s degree, but went no further in their education. They noted each person’s college major, which they placed into one of 15 categories. They found substantial differences in health across majors. Two majors are particularly disadvantaged in midlife. The chances of poor health are 1.9 times greater among psychology /social work and law/public policy majors compared to business majors. The researchers argue this is likely due to several factors. Psychology majors tend to suffer from high unemployment and low earnings. Law/public policy majors often enter the field of law enforcement(执行).
The researchers say that they have discovered associations, not proof of causality(因果关系). But they make a convincing case that some majors lead people to live healthier lifestyles than others.
Their findings might even inspire a warning country song: Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be psychology majors.
12. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs?
A. Smoking can lead to poor health. B. Diet is more important than exercise.
C. Physical checkups keep you healthy. D. College major chould be added to a checkup.
13. How do researchers draw their conclusions?
A. By doing face-to-face interviews. B. By following participants’ daily routines.
C By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the representative data.
14. Which of the following is against midlife health according to the researchers?
A. Engineering. B. Business. C. Psychology. D. Agriculture.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. College majors can predict midlife health.
B. More majors in college can improve health.
C. The annual physical exam is necessary to life.
D. People with more education tend to be healthier.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了福州寿山石的起源和传统雕刻工艺,它已被正式命名为“中国国石”,成为优雅、尊贵和智慧的象征,值得收藏。
【36题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:几个世纪以来,工匠们一直在雕刻石头,这些石头主要是从寿山村开采的。分析句子结构可知,mine在句子中作为非谓语动词使用,它和stones之间为被动关系,因此使用过去分词作后置定语,故填mined。
【37题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:这些石头被雕刻成人物、动物和许多其他艺术品。固定短语be carved into:被雕刻成,故填into。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:中国美术馆正在举办的“寿山石的魅力”展览,汇集了古代和现代文物,介绍了福建的石雕传统。 exhibition为可数名词,ongoing是以元音音素开头的单词,因此使用不定冠词an,故填an。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:中国美术馆正在举办的“寿山石的魅力”展览,汇集了古代和现代文物,介绍了福建的石雕传统。分析句子结构可知,gather在句子中作为谓语动词使用,结合“It offers a visual introduction to both the fine quality of Shoushan Stone and the superb skills ”可知,谓语动词gather使用一般现在时,并且主语“The Charm of Shoushan Stone”为单数意义,故填gathers。
【40题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:它直观地介绍了寿山石的优良品质和加工它所需的精湛技术。require...to do:需要……做某事,require的宾语是skills,故填to process。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:此次展示会还展出了明清文人所喜爱的用红玉制作的印章。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,seals是先行词,它在从句中作主语,指物,因此使用which引导定语从句,故填which。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:还有迷你雕塑,根据寿山石丰富的配色,展示了工匠们雕刻寿山石的不同方法:红色和黄色的石头适合雕刻山、花和水果,黑色的石头适合雕刻树木和石头,灰色的石头适合雕刻云。approach是可数名词,前有different 修饰,需要变复数,故填approaches。
【43题详解】
考查并列连词。句意:还有迷你雕塑,根据寿山石丰富的配色,展示了工匠们雕刻寿山石的不同方法:红色和黄色的石头适合雕刻山、花和水果,黑色的石头适合雕刻树木和石头,灰色的石头适合雕刻云。分析句子结构可知,“a red and yellow stone that is suitable for sculpting mountains, flowers and fruits”和“a black one for trees and stones ”以及“ a grey one for clouds”之间为并列关系,而并列连词and常用来表示这种关系,故填and。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:至此,寿山石,正式命名为“中国国石”,已成为优雅、尊贵、智慧的象征,值得收藏。使用副词作状语修饰过去分词named ,需要的词义为“正式地”,故填officially。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:至此,寿山石,正式命名为“中国国石”,已成为优雅、尊贵、智慧的象征,值得收藏。根据句中的“So far”可知,become使用现在完成时,主语Shoushan Stone为单数意义,故填has become。

【答案】The Power of Reading
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! It's my great honor to deliver the speech entitled "The Power of Reading" on this World Reading Day.
There was a time when my study suffered greatly because of my inability to adapt to the new school life quickly. Feeling at a loss, one day I caught sight of the book The Old Man and the Sea in the library accidentally. On reading the first pages, I was captivated by the old fisherman's brave struggle with the fish and his strong willpower.The sentence "A man can be destroyed but not defeated" inspired me never to yield to difficulties. Since then, I have enjoyed immersing myself in reading, for it opens up a magical world from which I draw endless strength.
Let's grab a book and start reading, igniting the enthusiasm of reading and embracing the wisdom it brings! That's all.Thank you!

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I remember that I was worn out when I got home that afternoon. I'd had to be at the theatre for the audition (试演) at nine that morning, and then I'd been waiting around for about three hours before the director finally saw me. I performed my song and almost at once he told me I could go home. “I am very sorry,”he said,“but your voice isn't quite right for the part.”It had been a similar story at all the auditions that I'd done over the past few weeks.
It had been my dream for years to be in a famous musical like The Sound of Music or Mamma Mia so I'd taken lessons in singing and dancing, and had come to the city to try and get a part in a show. I'd been really pleased when I'd managed to set up no fewer than ten auditions, but so far all of them had gone the same way. As I arrived back that afternoon at the little apartment where I rented a room, I really wondered whether I should bother going to the eleventh the next morning. It was a show I'd have loved to be in — but really, what was the point? Someone I knew had told me about a job at a local coffee shop, and had said that if I called in for a quick chat at ten the next day, I'd almost certainly get the job. It meant missing the audition, but right now, it seemed like a much more sensible thing to do.
I always sing when I need to cheer myself up, and because there was no one else in the apartment, I slipped off my shoes, went and stood in front of the mirror and started singing.Quite quickly I found myself belting out (大声唱) one of my favourite songs, Bridge over Troubled Water. As I finished the song, I suddenly heard applause. I looked around the room thinking that my roommate had perhaps slipped in without me noticing — but there was nobody. Then I went over to the open window of the apartment, and saw an elderly woman standing on the far side of the pavement below, looking up at me.

【答案】范文
She reached her arms up towards me with a great smile on her face. I was taken aback by her unexpected gesture of appreciation. Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she shouted from below, “You have a voice of an angel, my dear! Keep singing, don’t ever stop!” The unexpected support from a stranger was like a beacon of light in the midst of my doubts and disappointments. I felt a surge of confidence and determination washing over me. With renewed spirit, I made up my mind to go all out for the audition the next day.
The next day I went to the eleventh audition. As I walked into the theatre, I felt a newfound sense of purpose and self-assurance. The director greeted me with a warm smile, and this time, as I sang my heart out, I could feel the magic in the air. When I finished, there was a moment of silence before the room erupted into applause. The director’s eyes were shining with excitement as he said, “You’ve got the part! Welcome to the show!” It was at that moment that I realized dreams really did come true, and all it took was a little courage and belief in oneself.
