The only patches of color come from well-placed and 12 flowerbeds. Chemicals have managed to kill what human 13 couldn’t. I hope you and I can be 14 . I hope that we can stretch our roots deep enough that the strongest poison can’t reach our 15 . I hope that we can overcome the poisons of anger, fear, hate, criticism and competitiveness. 1．A．altered B．faded C．remained D．uplifted 2．A．presence B．absence C．survival D．revival 3．A．pulled up B．settled down C．got across D．ran out 4．A．distract B．destroy C．trouble D．restore 5．A．hand-washed B．hand-written C．hand-delivered D．hand-crafted 6．A．dimension B．addiction C．anticipation D．exception 7．A．conventionally B．suspiciously C．deliberately D．unconsciously 8．A．grabbed B．yelled C．marveled D．laughed 9．A．productivity B．perseverance C．inclusiveness D．effectiveness 10．A．separate B．discourage C．defend D．forbid 11．A．vehicle B．pesticide C．lawnmower D．dandelion 12．A．multi-tasked B．self-supporting C．well-controlled D．water-washing 13．A．evolution B．interference C．preservation D．enhancement 14．A．immersive B．conventional C．superior D．different 15．A．souls B．deadlines C．fields D．Targets Passage 4 I found a brown bag outside after our move. “Grass Seed,” it said in big letters. My husband and I 1 the seeds all over the dirty yard in front of our new house. “I have no idea if they will 2 ,” I told him, “but it’s worth a shot.” Just like our 3 to move to the rural Arizona. Near our new house sat a charming cottage, which was 4 to tourists. I got a job offer to 5 the cottage. I’d worked in hotels for years, so when offered the 6 , I jumped at it. Still, it was a big change. I 7 that it would be a right move. While we waited for our grass to grow—or not—we 8 settled into our new house through our efforts. We made it a cozy home, despite the 9 in the front yard, which was still bare now. Meanwhile, many of the cottage guests became 10 , and I got to know them well. I felt 11 to make their stays memorable. Perhaps I was better at that than 12 . But after a monsoon (季风) swept through, I woke up to a beautiful morning and looked out the window. There was no grass growing in the sunlight. 13 , our yard was covered in a rainbow of zinnias (百日菊)! The front yard turned out even better than I could have 14 , just like our new life.

Every time I go out the door Miss Alice is sitting at my front door, waiting to be 1 . And when I finally return home, there she is asking for 2 again. It wasn’t always this way. The very first time I saw Miss Alice she was 3 under my house, having just had a litter of kittens (一窝小猫). When I looked under, I got a clear 4 that I was in for an attack if I got near. It took a lot of 5 , love, and cat food from my daughter to 6 her. At first, she didn’t want to be touched at all. Then she would only allow a(n) 7 petting. Now my daughter can carry her like a little baby. It still makes me 8 to see how my daughter’s loving spirit made this once 9 cat as lovable as a most playful dog. I guess that is the 10 of love. It can save a hurting heart and uplift a(n) 11 soul. It can even turn her into a 12 dog in a cat suit. 13 the love into your own life then. And let your own love 14 everything you think, everything you say, and everything you do. You will be delighted at the joy you will find, the good you will do, and the lives you will 15 .

When the baby deer, thought to be only a day old, was discovered 1 in a field in Devon, England, the hiker assumed it had been 2 so took the animal to a vet (兽医). In fact, the baby deer may not have been abandoned, but because she’d been in 3 with humans, the vet feared that her mom would not take her back. So, not knowing how to 4 it, the vet called expert animal 5 Steve Hopper. For the first 10 weeks, Steve 6 the baby deer goat’s milk. And she 7 , becoming part of the family with Steve and his two German shepherds. He named the new 8 to their family Milly. “The shepherds 9 her from the moment she came to the door and Milly actively plays with them,” Steve explained. The three animals have become like 10 . And because Milly hasn’t had a 11 to learn from, she’s followed the dogs, learning to come when 12 and a treat is waiting. “When she knows you have treats, like a chocolate bar or dog treats, she will come and 13 she comes for company, and she’s very loving on a good day,” said Steve. Because of her unique situation, Milly will not be 14 back into the wild. It was a 15 she survived, but she’s now right at home with her bonded family. 1．A．awake B．asleep C．alive D．alone 2．A．adopted B．deserted C．raised D．trained 3．A．contrast B．coincidence C．contact D．conflict 4．A．follow B．handle C．observe D．share 5．A．rescuer B．researcher C．trainer D．owner 6．A．paid B．mixed C．fed D．boiled 7．A．survived B．matured C．expanded D．responded 8．A．attention B．invention C．invitation D．addition 9．A．applied to B．took to C．appealed to D．turned to 10．A．families B．enemies C．players D．strangers 11．A．brother B．sister C．father D．mother 12．A．pulled B．praised C．called D．stopped 13．A．eventually B．occasionally C．cautiously D．properly 14．A．persuaded B．withdrawn C．released D．allowed 15．A．legend B．myth C．tragedy D．miracle 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
