Ⅰ 阅读
A
In May, as our scientific institution began to open back up and whispers about face-to-face lab meetings started to float around, I panicked.
课时作业(八)
My hearing loss began when I was in graduate school. At first, I fondly thought I could overcome it with hard work. I began to record every one-on-one meeting because even with the strongest focus I just couldn't catch everything, and taking notes is not a choice when you rely on lip-reading. In meetings, I sat in the front row, tiring myself as I strained to both hear the speaker and process the science. So, in the fourth year, I decided cochlea implants (植入耳蜗) were the right next step.
The week after I began to hear with both implants, I attended a conference. I looked over every listening environment to plan my equipment and where I needed to be located during the event. It worked OK—but it was still tiring, and I felt excluded from so much.
课时作业(八)
When meetings were held online, my experience was much better. The sound quality was clear, without the powerful noises of a physical office space or meeting room. I could sit back and let the sound come to me. It was easier to focus, participate, and think deeply about the science. I felt a sense of belonging. I began to leave meetings feeling refreshed rather than needing a short sleep.
课时作业(八)
I didn't want to be forced back into struggling to understand. So, with anxiety, I contacted my adviser to make a simple hearing plan which includes asking presenters to use a microphone for our lab meetings. It worked. Now, a few weeks later, my anxiety is gradually giving way to scientific curiosity and questions enabled by feeling included and worthy of belonging. A few of my lab mates have even thanked me because they, too, were unable to hear people without microphones. Maybe instead of rushing back to “normal”, we can all take this chance to create environments that are more welcoming—for everyone.

B
I had only really known the little girl for a few weeks, but I carried her with me every day. We met in the Children's Hospital of Columbus. I was 11, and I was born with a hole in my heart. So was the fiveyearold girl in the bed beside me.
课时作业(八)
We were both recovering from the same surgery. Being older and wiser, I thought it was my job to look out for her. “Do you want to hear a story?” I recalled asking her one afternoon. “Great!” she said.
It was so easy to make her happy. She seemed always to be smiling or laughing or singing songs. Life wasn't fair. She passed away. My own recovery went well. “You're really lucky,” a nurse told me. “But how come my operation was so easy and hers wasn't?” I asked. “Easy?” my dad said. “Mary, your surgery wasn't easy at all. We thought we were going to lose you because of the amount of internal bleeding (内出血). You can't remember it because you were in a coma (昏迷).” Dad said. “For two weeks after your operation many things could go wrong.” “I'm really lucky. I wasn't too old to need someone to look out for me.” “You wouldn't remember this either. When you were in the coma, she used to come over to your bed and sing to you. She was watching over you.”
课时作业(八)
My surgery scars were hidden under my shirt. But I knew they were there, along with the memory of that little girl, the one who'd been at my side like a tiny angel when I didn't even know she was there. I was older now and hopefully somewhat wiser. Wise enough to know that I have angels watching over me, when life is fair and when it's not.

课时作业(八)
Ⅱ 七选五
Why You Should Stop Complaining
When living out our daily lives, it's often easy to blame the world for our problems. __1__ But the biggest difference is simply our reactions to them. Here are three reasons why you should change your reaction to a situation and stop complaining.
The world owes you nothing.
The world really does have nothing to do with you or anyone else. The planet will continue to exist without you on it. __2__ However, it really isn't the case once we're an adult. The world doesn't provide us with the same blanket of comfort as our carers once did, which only means one thing: It's up to us to provide that blanket for ourselves and no one else.
课时作业(八)
__3__
If you look back at your own life, you'll begin to realize that everything you have ever done was all a result of the decisions you've made. Sure there may have been people around you who have convinced you to do something. But it all ultimately depends on your decisions. __4__ Your life is just like a blank canvas, and you are the painter. Start to think about what your hopes and dreams might be and remind yourself daily that it's all up to you to make things happen.
课时作业(八)
You can't be a leader if you behave like a victim.
It's really easy to put blame on things that are external to you. __5__ So what can you change? Being a leader in your life takes courage and requires the willingness to face your fears, experience failure, and take complete personal responsibility of everything that happens to you.
A.What are you worrying about?
B.So who's really to blame?
C.You are in charge of your own life.
课时作业(八)
D.You are helped by people around you.
E.We were nurtured and looked after as kids.
F.It's true that there are things in the world we can't control.
G.As it avoids personal responsibility and allows you to refuse the possibility that you may have things that can be changed.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。我们很容易把我们的问题归咎于这个世界。文中提出三个理由,告诫人们停止抱怨。
课时作业(八)
1.F 根据上文“When living out ... for our problems.”可知,我们容易把自己的问题归咎给世界,有时事情的确不受我们控制。F项(确实,世界上有些事情是我们无法控制的。)符合题意。故选F。
2.E 根据下文“However, it really isn't the case once we're an adult.”可知,此处应说明我们小时候的情况。E项(我们从小就被培养和照顾。)符合题意。故选E。
3.C 设空处为本段小标题。根据下文“If you look back ... to do something.”可知,本段主要讲述人生中所有的决定都是我们自己做的。C项(你是自己生活的主宰。)可以作为本段小标题。故选C。
课时作业(八)
4.B 根据下文“Your life is just ... the painter.”可知,此处应说明谁该对生活负责。B项(所以真正(对生活)负责的是谁呢?)符合题意。故选B。
5.G 根据上文“It's really easy ... to you.”可知,此处应说明逃避责任的原因。G项(因为它逃避了个人责任,并允许你拒绝可能让事情改变的可能性。)符合题意。故选G。
课时作业(八)
Ⅲ 语法填空
I like to bargain when I buy goods. It isn't because I don't have money; it is because it __1__ (accept) widely by people in my country. It also feels good when I get goods which is __2__ (cheap) than goods other people get.
Last winter vacation, I went to an open cloth market located in Seoul to buy a jacket. At this market, you can buy a lot of clothes at really good __3__ (price). I got the brilliant idea of putting only $60 in my pocket to play __4__ trick on the vendor. I found a jacket which is __5__ (suit) for me. I asked the price and the vendor shouted, “$80”. From my experience, I knew the price was too high for that jacket. I made an offer of $60; __6__, he didn't agree. He said I had to pay at least $65.
课时作业(八)
At that time, I realized I really could get that jacket for $60, so I pretend to be __7__ (disappoint) and told him I really wanted it, but I had only $60 __8__ (leave) in my wallet. I show him my wallet to prove __9__.
After __10__ (check) my wallet, he agreed to sell me the jacket at that price. I felt really good, but also sorry for him. Next time I go there I won't bargain as hard as the last time since the vendor was really kind to me.

Ⅰ 阅读
Like so many young bookish kids I wrote poems and stories and filled pages of journals with dreams. But even though I adored writing, I still knew that being a real-life writer was a dream both great and impossible.
课时作业(九)
At different times I harboured the possibility that it might work. When I was seventeen, I wrote a story that was published in a collection. At college, I entered local writing competitions and had success. A couple of times, I wanted to register for a creating writing degree offered by Harvard University, but each time, the fear of failure held me back. Then I understood the dream was indeed impossible and I gave up writing setting out on the path to become a teacher.
Years later, after my daughter was born and deep in the intense world of a newborn, I felt urged to scribble (草草写下) madly. Then, two years later, late at night as I fed my second daughter. I read a book written by one of my teachers and it lit me up. I was hungry to make a reader feel something as intensely as she had made me feel.
课时作业(九)
I got in touch with my old teacher and with her encouragement, I finally registered for a creative writing degree and got actively involved in the writing events. At a literary event, I listened to a panel of writers and publishers talk about the need to be brave and take chances. At the end of the event, I took one of those chances, handing my as-yet-unfinished manuscript (手稿) to one of the panelists, who told me to send her the first three chapters via e-mail.
Six months later, I had my first publishing contract and felt like I'd won the lottery (彩票). There are a thousand different paths to publication, most of them with some rocky patches before the thrilling moment you hold your book in your hands.

Ⅱ 读后续写
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。
A boy named Ali had a large and harmonious family, happily living with his sisters, parents and grandmother. His grandmother loved everyone a lot and was respected by all family members. She was very old, yet sometimes she would recall things from her past and share with them. Sometimes they would believe her but at other times they would think that Granny might be mixing up the facts due to her old age.
课时作业(九)
One day, when Ali was in school, suddenly while knitting (编织), Granny remembered something and she couldn't contain her emotions so she got up to tell her son—Ali's father. She walked as fast as she could to his room and said, “You always asked about my birth date but do you know today is the day when I was born.”
She looked at her son with an excited expression, expecting an immediate response. However, her son wondered how she could remember her date of birth in this old age when she forgot so many other things, so he didn't pay much attention to this. Disappointed at her son's reaction, Granny then went to Ali's mother and Ali's sister, but like Ali's father, nobody believed her.
课时作业(九)
Disheartened, she went and sat in the terrace (阳台).When Ali returned from his school, he found his grandmother sitting alone with a sad expression. Ali asked his granny about the matter, but she said there was nothing to worry about. After a lot of persuasion she revealed what was troubling her—nobody seemed to care that it was her birthday today!
After hearing what Granny said, Ali thought of a plan. Purely by chance, some of Ali's friends were playing nearby so he shared his plan with them.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

[精彩范文]
His friends were all willing to help Ali achieve what he planned. With Ali acting as the director, stage designer and host, preparation for a performance stage was soon finished. Afterwards, a series of eye-catching performances, ranging from dancing, crosstalk, acrobatics and magic tricks were given by Ali's friends. By this time, the audience had expanded from granny to Ali's whole family, all of whom gave thunderous applause to the carefully staged shows. Towards the end, a huge banner saying “Happy Birthday, Granny!” was put up on the central stage, which pushed the warm and loving atmosphere to its peak.

Ali was so happy to see his granny with tears of joy shining in her eyes. “For all my life, I have ... never spent ... my birthday with so many ... relatives and ... lovely kids. Thank you, Ali and all of you kids.” Granny stammered, choking up with gratitude and bliss. “Never mind, Granny!” Ali grinned, knowing deep down that the real reason for Granny's tears was not the party itself, but love, care and trust from her family members, which she believed were gone when they reacted indifferently to her “made-up” birthday.
