Passage 1
I’m a university professor at an art school. Last year, I decided to 1 online classes to gain some knowledge of Arabic(阿拉伯语).
My teacher and I would meet a few times a month to practice 2 and go over grammar. During our communication, he also 3 details of his life. Gradually, the 4 of the first few lessons gave way to more familiarity and comfort. I stopped feeling embarrassed and began to open up about my own 5 and my battle with Arabic. “Don’t worry; I’m here to 6 you. You’re hardworking and I’m sure you’ll do well in it,” said my teacher. I had 7 my students with similar words in my own teaching. It was 8 to hear them directed at me. The tables turned.
“You are 9 today,” my teacher would say when I used varied vocabulary or expressions. When I heard these four words, I got a feeling of 10 . It also surprised me that my confidence could be encouraged by such 11 praise. That was when I became aware how 12 I had praised my students. I thought much praise made them self-satisfied. But now, I had a change of heart and 13 that these plain words can mean a lot. Words 14 . And now I become more 15 when I use them.

Passage 2
When I was a little boy, I lived in my grandma’s old house. It was 16 by four huge vegetable gardens, and around the house were planted so many 17 . On the back porch, Grandma had dozens of potted(盆栽的) plants hanging on hooks(挂钩). She 18 them, and talked to them. With a little water and a lot of 19 she kept them alive, green, and growing even during the coldest, darkest months.
As a little boy, I was confused by all the effort she 20 them. I understood the vegetable gardens for they helped to 21 the family all winter long. I 22 understood the flowers around the house as they were pretty and smelled so sweet in the summer months. The reason why she 23 to those potted plants with so much effort, however, made me feel 24 a lot. They didn’t give us any food and they 25 had any flowers on them. They remained an unknown to my mind as a(n) 26 .
Now as I’ve grown older, I am beginning to 27 why my grandma had those potted plants. It is the same reason why I have so many pictures of sunrises and forests 28 in my home. They remind me of the dark cold winter months 29 of bare trees and yellow grass when light, love and growth still exist.

Passage 3
It was a long drive to the nursing home(敬老院,养老院) where my grandmother was living. 31 , at least twice a month I drove to see her. I’d already 32 my mom to cancer and I wanted to always remember my grandmother, especially because she was beginning to 33 me. Nanna had Alzheimer disease (老年痴呆症), which was slowly starting to eat away at her 34 . Sometimes she recognized me when I visited her and sometimes she didn’t.
On one visit, I 35 my grandmother good-bye and started to walk towards my car. Suddenly a tiny hand seized mine. “James!” a 36 voice said. I turned and saw a smiling, wrinkled face. Like my Nanna, she had Alzheimer disease but was still able to walk and get around. She 37 me for her son (A nurse told me he’d died years ago). I held her hands and let her joyfully 38 .Though her eyes didn’t know who I was, I saw the excitement in them when she spoke to her son through me.
On the following visits, I always took 39 to visit my Nanna as well as her. I always got a smile and sometimes even a 40 from her. The nurses told me she was always 41 and calmer after seeing her “son”.
Then one day I noticed she was 42 . I spoke to the nurses and they sadly told me that she’d been dead for some days. I put my head 43 and went quietly into my Nanna’s room.
Her loss didn’t really hit me 44 I went for a walk at night. I looked at the sky, realizing something—for a while I really had been her son. Actually, in this world we’re all 45 by invisible strings of love.

Passage 4
I, Amy, am always proud of my frankness and honesty. However, I found myself tangled in a web of 46 emotions recently. My friend, Lucy, eager to establish herself as a (n) 47 was preparing to present her work of art to the public. I knew her passion, but in my eyes, she was still 48 her artistic skills. As the day of exhibition drew near, Lucy, obviously 49 asked me, “Amy…what do you truly…think of my painting?” I looked into her 50 eyes, 51 between honesty and not upsetting my friend, managed a smile and said, “Lucy, this is definitely your 52 work yet. The color combinations are the most creative!”
During the following days, I was uneasy, but I 53 myself with the idea that it was a “white lie”, with the 54 to protect and encourage her. Unexpectedly, I also saw a great 55 . Lucy indeed threw herself into her craft! Her paintings progressed obviously and her skills 56 like a tree branching out. I realized that my little white lie had unlocked 57 within her. Lucy’s artwork 58 shone like a star at the exhibition.
Lucy put her arms around me. The most beautiful words reached my ears, “Your warm words 59 me.” I freed myself from the guilt at that moment. While honesty is important, it is the warmth behind the words that 60 more.

Passage 5
It was the start of my second year of university. After 61 for a long time about environmental and social issues, I decided to stop eating meat and fish and become a vegetarian(素食者). Now, being a vegetarian in the UK is generally quite 62 . Almost any place that serves food in Britain has some kind of vegetarian choice on its 63 Sometimes it turns out to be a slightly 64 salad, but the large quantity(数量) of different foreign restaurants means there are many different 65 on offer.
But two years later when I graduated from university and decided to move to Spain, I suddenly realized that I might meet some 66 ! Considering that one of its most famous sports is about killing bulls, animals might not exactly seem like Spain's main 67 . I had been to Spain a few times before becoming a vegetarian, and all I could 68 now was meat, meat, meat.
As you can imagine, I was quite 69 about eating out in Spain. In some ways, I had a 70 to be. A large number of Spanish dishes are based around meat or seafood, the most famous 71 being ham and a rice dish with seafood. Vegetarianism is quite 72 in Spain and Southern Europe, and many older Spaniards have trouble understanding it.
In the beginning, facing many unfamiliar food words that weren't in my Spanish-English dictionary, I did feel very difficult. But as I began to 73 Spanish menus, a whole world of vegetarian and truly Spanish food 74 itself up to me, and I didn't just mean vegetarian versions of usually meaty dishes. If you 75 , there are more vegetarian treats, and many of them are a little more healthful than these potato-based delights (美食).

Passage 6
I live in Watts in South Central L. A, and I’m fat. There are many fast food stores near my home and my mom 76 buys hamburgers for dinner. I’ve tried to talk her so many times into buying something 77 . But she just doesn’t have time to do it. So I had to make better 78 for myself.
To learn more, I talked to Andres Chopin, a student at Jefferson High School who is part of an after-school program where students learn to cook and they’re taught ways to eat healthily. Andres said it’s 79 to eat whole foods, like vegetables, fruit and whole grains. Processed foods don’t 80 you as many nutrients. He told me to prepare food for myself, 81 I had never cooked before. I thought, “I may not be a good cook, but I can prevent myself from eating things that are 82 for me.”
I learned from Andres to look more 83 to food labels for ingredients(成分) that I know are bad for me. Now I know 84 about which foods I can eat more of and which I should eat less of. I’ve been eating more fruit and I’m getting better about not going into the kitchen to see what there is to eat after I’ve already eaten.
85 a habit that you’ve had since you were young is not easy. I want to lose weight in the healthy way, something I can control for the rest of my life. With time and self-control I know I can 86 it. I can take two ways looking into the mirror at myself — feeling bad about myself or encouraging myself to 87 . I choose to encourage myself.
After a month I 88 10 pounds. I’m not going to 89 trying to eat better. The changes I’ve made 90 me to keep on going. I can still do better.

Passage 7
We could not go for a walk that 91 . There was such a freezing cold wind, and such heavy rain, that we all stayed indoors. I was glad of it. I 92 liked long walks, especially in winter. I used to hate coming home when it was almost dark, with ice-cold fingers and toes, feeling miserable because Bessie, the nursemaid, was always scolding me. All the time I knew I was different from my cousins, Eliza, John and Georgiana Reed. They were taller and stronger than me, and they were 93 .
These 94 usually spent their time crying and quarrelling, but today they were sitting 95 around their mother in the sitting-room. I wanted to join the family circle, but Mrs Reed, my aunt, refused. Bessie had complainted about me.
“No, I’m sorry, Jane. 96 I hear from Bessie, or see for myself, that you are really trying to behave better, you cannot be treated as a good, happy child, like my children.” “What does Bessie say I have done?” I asked.
“Jane, it is not polite to 97 me in that way. If you cannot speak pleasantly, be quiet.”
I 98 out of the sitting-room and into the small room next door, 99 I chose a book full of pictures from the bookcase. I 100 to the window-seat and drew the 101 , so that I was completely hidden. I sat there for a while. Sometimes I looked out of the window at the grey November afternoon, and saw the rain pouring down on the leafless garden. But most of the time I studied the book and stared, fascinated, at the pictures. Lost in the world of imagination, I forgot my sad, lonely existence for a while, and was happy, I was only afraid that my secret hiding-place might be discovered.
102 the door of the room opened. John Reed rushed in.
“Where are you, rat?” he shouted. He did not see me behind the curtain. “Eliza! Georgy! Jane isn’t here! Tell Mamma she’s run out into the rain—what a bad 103 she is!”
“How 104 I drew the curtain,” I thought. He would never have found me, because he was not very intelligent. But Eliza guessed 105 where I was. “She’s in the window-seat, John,” she called from the sitting-room. So I came out immediately, as I did not want him to pull me out.

Passage 8
This is an unbelievably moving and beautiful film. It shows a father’s 106 at its very best. It is a tear-jerker and I must admit that I am moved to tears.
It is a story 107 in 1939 at the start of World War II. Guido, a cheerful Italian-Jewish waiter, gets 108 to Dora, who is not Jewish. They are in love and have a 109 named Giosuè. As they are preparing for Giosuè’s fifth birthday, Guido and Giosuè are arrested(逮捕) and 110 to a concentration camp. Dora begs to 111 with them even though she is not Jewish. She is sent to the 112 part on the other side of the camp.
To hide the awful 113 from his son, Guido pretends(假装) they are at a holiday camp and are playing a game. In the 114 , they have to win points. He 115 his son that the goal is to get 1,000 points — and the prize is a real tank in which they can leave. Here he is talking about the tanks 116 the allies(同盟者) that he hopes will eventually come to save them from the concentration camp when they win the war. He pretends Giosuè can get points for things such as not crying, not saying he is hungry, not asking for his mother, and so on. 117 , Guido hides Giosuè, all the while pretending it is a game and they are playing hide-and-seek.
I won’t tell you how the film ends. You will have to watch it for yourself. Many reviewers have 118 this film, and said that it is a must-see. I completely 119 , as it is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen — one that I will 120 forget.

Passage 9
I’d never been to the Day of the Dead before. As my dad and I looked around for seats, I 121 Marco, my best friend, hurrying toward us. “Hi, Mr. O’kane,” he 122 my dad. Then he turned to me and said, “Nate! Will you help me?”
“Whatever you need,” I said.
Marco threw me parts of a 123 : Mexican sandals(凉鞋), a straw hat, a cane(手杖), a gray wig, and an “old man” mask(面具). “My cousin couldn’t 124 !” Marco’s voice rang with worry.
“It’s part of a traditional dance,” he said,“and we should wear the costume.”
“You expect me to dance? ” I 125 . “I don’t want to dance!”
Marco smiled. “It’ll be fun. And hurry! We’re going to be 126 .”
“We’re going to do a lot of stomping(跺脚). Slow at first. Keep one hand 127 on your back, like an old man with an ache,” added Marco.
The speakers 128 : “Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for TheDanceoftheLittleOldMen!”
“Be quick,” Marco 129 to me to follow his lead.
We all began stomping slowly to music. I could only see 130 the small holes of the mask. I continued to stomp, trying to 131 what to do. I leaned on my cane and kept a hand low on my back. After a few minutes of dancing like that, my back 132 started to ache.
The music 133 . And we stomped quickly. Performing with Mexican sandals was 134 and inconvenient. People laughed as we hopped and kicked, but after a moment the laughter turned into cheers.

Coming from Villa Tesei, one of the neighborhoods in the greater urban region of Buenos Aires, Argentina, muralist(壁画家) Fio Slva adds fantastic effects of brilliant color and movement to the walls that she touches--much of it inspired by 136 .
As Silva explains, “I think the idea that 137 me the most is that of movement and strength. I like working with animals, especially birds, and mixing them with nature-inspired shapes in a creative way. I 138 to make it something that goes beyond attracting 139 for its colors or scale. It is also something that can ‘be 140 ’, that tells you something."
Silva says that she 141 her occupation almost by accident.“I 142 painting murals because a friend gave me some spray cans(喷漆罐) for my birthday. And with that, I went to paint on the street for the first time, out of totally 143 . People in my neighborhood 144 gave up their walls for me to paint and there I fell in love with painting in the 145 space."
Silva is particularly careful with the 146 that she chooses to include in an artwork, as certain colors will either strengthen or 147 what she wants to express, channeling a power that can 148 the viewers from the chaotic city surroundings into the natural world 149 by this artist.

Passage 12
I remember dreading(惧怕) having to sit through fifty-five whole minutes of a poetry class when I was in high school. But walking into that class 166 my life.
Before I took the 167 , I believed poetry was all fluff(没多大意义的娱乐) — just rhymes about rainbows, flowers, love and the stars. I soon 168 that poetry could be about that, but it was also so much more. Poetry is about 169 yourself in a completely raw form and using phrases other than “the sky is blue”. Poetry is a reminder that it’s okay to feel pain. 170 is supposed to evoke emotion.
Through that high school poetry class, I found I was able to 171 the perspectives of so many lives. People I only knew the names of became people I was 172 invested in because I was forced to try to understand the experiences they had to 173 . Before the class, I was aware of the hardships my classmates suffered, but the poetry class let me 174 the same emotions they had through their poetry.
Since high school, I have taken two more poetry classes. 175 these classes, my writing has been strengthened, my listening skills have 176 and my public speaking has developed greatly.
My poetry classes helped me to view the world with a(n) 177 set of eyes and have taught me to 178 criticism with open arms.
Critical thinking, writing and public speaking are 179 in the workforce, and my poetry classes have enabled me to 180 those tools. Poetry has really changed my life.

Passage 7
We could not go for a walk that 91 . There was such a freezing cold wind, and such heavy rain, that we all stayed indoors. I was glad of it. I 92 liked long walks, especially in winter. I used to hate coming home when it was almost dark, with ice-cold fingers and toes, feeling miserable because Bessie, the nursemaid, was always scolding me. All the time I knew I was different from my cousins, Eliza, John and Georgiana Reed. They were taller and stronger than me, and they were 93 .
These 94 usually spent their time crying and quarrelling, but today they were sitting 95 around their mother in the sitting-room. I wanted to join the family circle, but Mrs Reed, my aunt, refused. Bessie had complainted about me.
“No, I’m sorry, Jane. 96 I hear from Bessie, or see for myself, that you are really trying to behave better, you cannot be treated as a good, happy child, like my children.” “What does Bessie say I have done?” I asked.
“Jane, it is not polite to 97 me in that way. If you cannot speak pleasantly, be quiet.”
I 98 out of the sitting-room and into the small room next door, 99 I chose a book full of pictures from the bookcase. I 100 to the window-seat and drew the 101 , so that I was completely hidden. I sat there for a while. Sometimes I looked out of the window at the grey November afternoon, and saw the rain pouring down on the leafless garden. But most of the time I studied the book and stared, fascinated, at the pictures. Lost in the world of imagination, I forgot my sad, lonely existence for a while, and was happy, I was only afraid that my secret hiding-place might be discovered.
102 the door of the room opened. John Reed rushed in.
“Where are you, rat?” he shouted. He did not see me behind the curtain. “Eliza! Georgy! Jane isn’t here! Tell Mamma she’s run out into the rain—what a bad 103 she is!”
“How 104 I drew the curtain,” I thought. He would never have found me, because he was not very intelligent. But Eliza guessed 105 where I was. “She’s in the window-seat, John,” she called from the sitting-room. So I came out immediately, as I did not want him to pull me out.
