(23-24高二上·湖北省直辖县级单位·期中)While food bank lines have grown longer, millions of pounds of produce are still going to waste. When several Stanford University students heard about the huge amount of food 1 every day, they were shocked and they knew they had to 2 .

With so many devoted, caring individuals working 12 to make that happen, we have no doubt that they’ll 13 their goal!

(23-24高二上·黑龙江大庆·期中)I started playing field hockey(曲棍球) when I was in seventh grade. Going into middle school, I knew I wanted to 1 a sport, since I loved being on a team with friends. 2 together after class, driving to other schools to 3 and just having an overall sense of unity were all 4 of playing a team sport that I knew I couldn't 5 get.
To be honest, before spring of the seventh grade, I 6 even knew what field hockey was. The only thing I knew was that my friends thought it sounded cool. I don't really know what 7 my friends to field hockey. Maybe it's because it's mainly a women's sport, 8 maybe it's because the 9 is a really nice English teacher. Even though I chose it on a whim(一时兴起), I'm really glad I decided to 10 it.
I am certainly not a field hockey prodigy (天才) or anything like that, but it honestly adds to my 11 . Yes, it leaves me with my legs 12 and my arms drooping heavily, but this pain doesn't compare to the feeling of happiness that comes 13 playing. When you're running with a wooden 14 in your hand, chasing a white ball, there's no need to worry about anything. It offers an amazing way to be free from the 15 and hardships of school.

We hear a lot about this and it’s true. We spend more time with our co-workers than our families. Getting along well with workmates is the 4 to our success in the job.

(23-24高二上·河北邯郸·期中)In September 1789, the government of the US was only a few months old. George Washington was president — the nation’s first. Congress (国会) was 1 , too. Some of the early lawmakers came to the president with a(n) 2 : Would he call for a national Thanksgiving?
One aim was to help 3 the young country, which was made of the 13 former colonies. Calling a national Thanksgiving would be a 4 to bring Americans together. But other lawmakers strongly 5 to the idea. They noted the president could not 6 the power of the federal government to urge Americans to follow — or not follow — a religious 7 and that 8 belonged to the leader of each state.
In the end, Washington did formally 9 a national Thanksgiving. It was the country’s first presidential proclamation (宣言). He also tried to 10 opponents of the idea.

(23-24高二上·福建·期中)Once a year, I give my two children money. The only 1 is, they have to give it away. I give them each $100. They know it is a lot of money, so they are 2 how they use it. It is their job to find out who in our 3 is doing things that they feel good about, and then 4 who will get the money, and why.
Giving away money, even if it is only ten or twenty dollars, is a wonderful way to learn about the 5 work people are doing right in your own neighborhood.

One day, he suggested that we 3 an outdoor sport. I was an uncoordinated (动作不协调的) person, so I 4 his idea.
But several weeks later, he managed to 5 me to step onto an outdoor racquetball (美式壁球) court. When I hit the ball, I sent it flying in every direction except the direction that I had 6 . Still, somehow, I tried hard to learn it and became 7 after constantly practicing.
“We’re not getting enough 8 on the treadmill. Why not play tennis to build up our body?” suggested my friend.
“Tennis? I can’t play tennis! That 9 real skills!” I firmly resisted (抵制) his new 10 .
However, weeks later, I started playing tennis. After several months of painful practice, one day, as the ball came flying towards me, my racket and the ball met in what tennis players 11 as the “sweet spot”. I had 12 learned how to play tennis properly!
I learned a valuable 13 from these experiences: I can do whatever I set my mind on. I just need to put in efforts, and the results will 14 . And I become quite 15 about trying new things and I’m always filled with a sense of excitement.

(21-22高二上·江苏无锡·期中)When Tal Golesworthy was told he needed 1 heart surgery in 1993, he said no. Golesworthy has Marfan syndrome (马凡氏综合症), a genetic condition 2 the strength and elasticity of connective body tissues, including blood vessels. Back in 1993, when he was living in Cheltenham, in the west of England, his doctor told him that the aorta (主动脉) in his heart was so enlarged that it would unavoidably 3 unless he underwent major surgery.
“They 4 the surgical options,” says Golesworthy, “and I was not interested. The operation really didn’t look attractive.” 5 he particularly didn’t like was having to be on blood thinners after the operation, something that would prevent blood clots(血栓) but 6 its own risks: “I was riding motorbikes then; and skiing, so my whole lifestyle 7 .” By 2000, however, his condition 8 . Realizing something had to be done, Golesworthy put his years of 9 as research-and-development engineer with the United Kingdom’s National Coal Board to good use. He decided he would 10 himself. “Learning new stuff and developing new ideas, that was my job,” Golesworthy says.
A bulging aorta, he thought, was much like bulging hydraulic hose (凸起的液压软管)—it needed 11 support. And wrapping something around the outside of the aorta would require a less invasive 12 . So Golesworthy subjected himself to 30 hours of an MRI scanner; used 3D printing to create a physical copy of the faulty part of his heart (the aortic root); and then used soft, porous textile mesh (网眼织物) to make a sleeve to fit around it. “Luckily, I’d done a lot of work with technical textiles, looking at filters (过滤器) for flue gases (烟气) in coal-fire processes,” he says.
Sheer determination combined with a(n) 13 yet practical solution won him the support of two leading cardiothoratic (心胸的) surgeons and helped him raise the money to 14 his idea. In May 2004, at the age of 47, he became the guinea pig for his own invention, the Exo Vasc Personalised External Aortic Root Support. The operation was 15 .

(23-24高二上·广西柳州·期中)My cat hospital was very busy. So when the door rang just before closing on a Friday night, and a man walked in carrying a shoebox, I wasn’t 1 .
“I have a little cat.” he said, “I have 2 taking the poor kitty to the shelter, but the shelter won’t 3 the cat because it is too sick.”
I looked into the box and found a thin cat. “Okay, I’ll 4 the cat.” I said. And the cat’s road to recovery began. Months later, after great care, the little cat grew into a cute ball of fire.

Ben was placed in the adoption cage. Andrea, one of my favorite clients, was 8 but not ready to adopt. “I’ll let you 9 in a week.” she promised and I was hopeful.
Over the course of the week, I found myself becoming less and less 10 Ben’s possible adoption. So, when Andrea phoned with her 11 , I really had 12 feelings. She said she 13 another cat would be too much for her. “I understand.” I replied, trying to sound sad.

(23-24高二上·四川成都·期中)During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I 1 the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn't want to save a few dollars? More than that, I'd always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren’t 2 enough about free credits, news about our 3 was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which 4 I would be learning from one of the game’s 5 . I could hardly wait to 6 him.
Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this job was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 7 that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 8 the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 9 what we would learn in class to our future professions and, 10 , to our lives. I managed to get an A in that course and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 11 .
Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I’m still putting to use what he 12 me: “The absolute most important skill that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 13 . On every single move you have to analyze a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and 14 the best move from among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my 15 as a journalist.

One day, Peterson was reading the book Love Does in his living room, when his 3 was disturbed by the homeless man. 4 by the book’s sympathetic message, Peterson decided to go outside and introduce himself.

(23-24高二上·江西·期中)When Lew heard about how students can be denied lunch if their parents don’t keep up with payments, he was shocked.
“I was reading up the lunch 1 crisis—how some schools tossed (扔) the lunch because a kid did not have 2 money, or stamped on the arm saying, ‘I owe lunch money,’” Lew told ABC News.
