(重庆市巴蜀中学校2023-2024学年高一下学期期末)They were gathering at the starting line — runners of all ages, shapes and sizes — preparing for the first 5K of the spring season. I knew this because I had 21 at the park’s public restroom on my way to buy donuts and 22 the huge banner (横幅) announcing the race.
For some reason, I decided to sit on the grass and watch the race begin. I was fascinated by the 23 I witnessed. There were teenagers and grandmas, mamas with babies strapped (捆) to their 24 , and dads followed by their young sons and daughters. 25 were happening everywhere before the officials 26 for the start.
Everyone looked glad to be there — proud, 27 . I wondered what aroused such enthusiasm. The idea of running for any reason 28 chasing down an ice-cream truck had never been 29 to me.
As the runners took their places, I heard 30 from the bleachers (看台). “Go, Barbara! You got this, Mama!” “Grandpa, we love you! We’re so proud of you.”
I decided to stay and watch. For some reason, the race became a study in human nature. I was 31 by the excitement. Who would cross line first? How long had that person been running? When did he or she become 32 to the sport? For the first time in ages, something attracted me long enough that donuts took a back seat.
I didn’t stop for donuts that day, I can’t tell you 33 why. I can tell you that something transformative 34 that race day. Now when I stop at the park to use the public restroom, I also run the quarter-mile track. Someday, I hope to hear my family’s voices coming from those bleachers when they see Nanny 35 the finish line.

(江苏省常州市2023-2024学年高一下英语期末)Have you ever felt nervous while doing something for the very first time? If you got dropped off in a new environment with a bunch of strangers, what would you do? It can be extremely difficult, and even frightening at times, to try something 41 .
Recently, a popular Chinese vlogger posted videos teaching people how to take the metro and bus in cities. The first reaction of many netizens was 42 . After all, who doesn’t know how to use public transportation? But soon, many others thanked the creator for her thoughtful and 43 videos because she showed people a simple-to-follow set of 44 on what to do. Many had 45 to realize lots of people in China don’t live in large cities. What we may 46 as common knowledge may very well be 47 and confusing to others. Videos like these, which help people to 48 the life skills they may not have, may 49 them a lot of awkwardness.
I remember going to college in America for the first time. When younger, I had already learned many 50 skills, like cooking simple meals. The 51 was different with many of my roommates. They didn’t have these skills I consider very basic. And I didn’t know how to use the dishwasher 52 to almost every American. What my roommates and I did was help each other out by 53 our knowledge about how to do one thing or another.
It is not 54 for a farmer to learn how to ride the metro, just as it is unnecessary for a city person to learn how to raise chickens. But we can learn how to do both-—thanks to the people willing to keep a(n) 55 mind about other people and give a helping hand as well.

It was 2023 and I had just climbed the Hvannadals Peak in Iceland, almost seven years after becoming 41 from the chest down after a climbing fall.

(重庆市巴蜀中学校2023-2024学年高一下学期期末)They were gathering at the starting line — runners of all ages, shapes and sizes — preparing for the first 5K of the spring season. I knew this because I had 21 at the park’s public restroom on my way to buy donuts and 22 the huge banner (横幅) announcing the race.
For some reason, I decided to sit on the grass and watch the race begin. I was fascinated by the 23 I witnessed. There were teenagers and grandmas, mamas with babies strapped (捆) to their 24 , and dads followed by their young sons and daughters. 25 were happening everywhere before the officials 26 for the start.
Everyone looked glad to be there — proud, 27 . I wondered what aroused such enthusiasm. The idea of running for any reason 28 chasing down an ice-cream truck had never been 29 to me.
As the runners took their places, I heard 30 from the bleachers (看台). “Go, Barbara! You got this, Mama!” “Grandpa, we love you! We’re so proud of you.”
I decided to stay and watch. For some reason, the race became a study in human nature. I was 31 by the excitement. Who would cross line first? How long had that person been running? When did he or she become 32 to the sport? For the first time in ages, something attracted me long enough that donuts took a back seat.
I didn’t stop for donuts that day, I can’t tell you 33 why. I can tell you that something transformative 34 that race day. Now when I stop at the park to use the public restroom, I also run the quarter-mile track. Someday, I hope to hear my family’s voices coming from those bleachers when they see Nanny 35 the finish line.

Recently, a popular Chinese vlogger posted videos teaching people how to take the metro and bus in cities. The first reaction of many netizens was 42 . After all, who doesn’t know how to use public transportation? But soon, many others thanked the creator for her thoughtful and 43 videos because she showed people a simple-to-follow set of 44 on what to do. Many had 45 to realize lots of people in China don’t live in large cities. What we may 46 as common knowledge may very well be 47 and confusing to others. Videos like these, which help people to 48 the life skills they may not have, may 49 them a lot of awkwardness.
I remember going to college in America for the first time. When younger, I had already learned many 50 skills, like cooking simple meals. The 51 was different with many of my roommates. They didn’t have these skills I consider very basic. And I didn’t know how to use the dishwasher 52 to almost every American. What my roommates and I did was help each other out by 53 our knowledge about how to do one thing or another.
It is not 54 for a farmer to learn how to ride the metro, just as it is unnecessary for a city person to learn how to raise chickens. But we can learn how to do both-—thanks to the people willing to keep a(n) 55 mind about other people and give a helping hand as well.
