二、完形填空（共15题，每题1分，计15分）

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从下列各题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

When I was 15, life always felt boring. I didn’t really     6     to notice the differences among the students in my school. But this view changed when my parents bought me a     7     for my birthday.

Even though I didn’t know     8     about photography, I showed great interest in the new hobby. I kept taking photos for different people and plants.

Then after a month, I realized I had no real     9     for taking pictures. My photos were clearly missing something and not creative at all. Soon, I became so    10     with myself that I gave up my new hobby.

During the summer vacation, I went for a walk on the railroad track. The tracks are of a warm red color. It’s an amazing sight to     11    . Before the walk, I thought, “Maybe I should take my camera with me”, which hadn’t been touched     12     weeks.

Surprisingly, this walk on the tracks has begun my    13     for photography. When I was walking on the train tracks, there was only nature around me. I realized    14     important it was to pay attention to details. I didn’t worry about trying to     15    something beautiful. Instead, I just captured (捕捉) the beauty already around me. After several months of feeling and enjoying outdoor scenes, I was     16     able to create beauty of my own.

So far, my work has been published in two small magazines. They are     17    to me because they show how much my artistic abilities have grown: I went from a     18     hand to a man with work. And my photos have become something I was     19     of.

Thanks to this present from my     20    , I now have a new way of looking at the world. I can enjoy the world better than others.

“Where am I?” said Oliver, lifting his head from his pillow. Mrs. Bedwin, Mr. Brownlow’s housekeeper, was sitting by Oliver’s bed. “Hush, my dear,” she said, “try to rest.” With these words, she smoothed Oliver’s hair back from his forehead.

“Imagine what your mother is thinking right now!” said Mrs. Bedwin.

“Perhaps she can see me,” whispered Oliver. “I feel she is here with me.”

“That was the fever, my dear,” said Mrs. Bedwin.

“I suppose it was,” said Oliver. “The angels are too happy in heaven to come to the bedside of a poor boy.” After saying these words, Oliver fell into a deep sleep.

Three days passed. Oliver was still too weak to walk, but he was able to sit in an armchair.

“You’re very kind to me, ma’am,” said Oliver.

“Just eat your soup.” said Mrs. Bedwin.

On the wall opposite there was a portrait(肖像画) of a young woman. Oliver stared at it. “What a beautiful face that lady has!'” he said. But her eyes look so sad. She looks as if she is alive, and wants to speak to me.”

There was a soft knock at the door, and Mr. Brownlow came in.

“Poor boy,” said Mr. Brownlow. “How do you feel?”

“Very happy, sir,” said Oliver, “and very grateful for your kindness to me.”

At that moment, Mr. Brownlow saw the similarity between Oliver’s features and another familiar(熟悉的) face.

“Mrs. Bedwin,” he said, “look at this!” He pointed to the portrait on the wall and then to Oliver’s face. Oliver was the living copy of the portrait. The eyes, the head, the mouth...every feature was the same.

Water is very important in keeping you healthy. This should come as no surprise. Much of your body is made up of water, after all. It keeps your body working properly. But did you know that too much water can poison (使…中毒) you? 

Water poisoning happens when people drink too much water. This makes sodium (钠) in their blood too little. You probably already know that too much sodium can be unhealthy. That’s true, but too little is also harmful. When you have too little sodium in your body, a lot of things will go seriously wrong in your body. Then you will feel really terrible. 

Your brain may begin to go wrong. You may get a headache, feel very tired and want to throw up. In these cases, water poisoning can be deadly. You will need to be sent to a hospital right away. 

Protecting yourself from water poisoning may seem easy—just don’t drink too much water, right? In some situations, however, this is easier said than done. For example, when you do some
