When she didn’t see her name in the list of the girls for a second tryout, her heart 3 . Feeling 4 , she walked home carrying her schoolbag full of homework. Arriving home, she started with math. She had always been a good math student, but now she was 5 . She moved on to English and history, and was 6 to find that she didn’t have any trouble with those subjects. Feeling a little better, the next day Jenna went to see Mrs. Biden about being on the school 7 . Mrs. Biden wasn’t as 8 as Jenna. “I’m sorry, but we have enough 9 for the newspaper already. Come back next year and we’ll talk then.” Jenna smiled 10 and left. “Why is this high school so different?” she sighed. Later in math class, Jenna devoted herself to figuring out the problems that had given her so much 11 . By the end of class, she understood how to get them right. As she gathered her books, Jenna decided she’d continue to try to 12 her new school. She wasn’t sure if she’d succeed, but she knew she had to 13 .

But at Mansfield ISD’s Summit High School, the Class of 2025 received something 16 — a personal letter from their headmaster. Headmaster Jason Mutterer went above and beyond by personally writing 443 17 letters with specific thanks. Along with each note, he 18 a single dollar bill, symbolizing the power of even the smallest acts of 19 . The letters took him more than 24 hours to 20 , but to Mutterer, it was time well spent. His goal: to show his students that individual kindness 21 , and that together, 443 random (随机的) acts of kindness can start a ripple effect (涟漪效应) and create 22 change in the world. Mutterer 23 his seniors during the school’s graduation ceremony, calling it an absolute honor to 24 this excellent class. Mutterer wanted to 25 them with something. “Inside that letter, there’s a single dollar bill,” Mutterer said. “It might seem 26 , but if 443 kids are doing random acts of kindness every day, it has a huge 27 .” “He made every one of us feel seen and loved,” said one student after the graduation ceremony. “Hopefully we get to 28 the kindness one day and make other people feel important and appreciated.” Mutterer’s parting 29 to his students was more than a goodbye.

Alice Brown, headteacher at Falmont Primary School, was teaching when the floor began to 34 . Her students' reaction was quick and correct — they moved under their desks and 35 on to the legs of the desks. At the same time, Miss Brown quickly opened the class-room door, in case it became 36 during the shaking and could not open. There were loud 37 of glass breaking and things 38 to the ground, but the students remained 39 and waited calmly and quietly. 40 the shaking stopped, Miss Brown 41 it was the best time for the class to make their escape. She 42 to her students to 43 the classroom in an orderly line covering their heads with their hands. Within one minute and twenty seconds, the whole class went down the stairs and rushed to the playground. Soon students from other classes arrived too.

The fact was that no matter how 46 I liked to consider myself, I was feeling just a bit first-gradish. 47 to my concern was the impression that everyone on campus was watching me. My plan was to keep my mouth 48 and hope no one would notice I was a 49 . The next morning, I marched in my first class and opened my Collection of American literature. “Welcome to Biology,” the professor began. I searched for my 50 and found I was in the wrong room. Leave in the middle of the lecture? Wouldn’t the 51 be angry? I knew everyone would 52 . Forget it. I settled into my chair and 53 the scientific pose of a biology major. After class I hurried to the canteen. I was heading for the salad bar 54 I accidentally stepped in a large puddle of ketchup. Just as I tried to move, my food tray (托盘) 55 and I lost my balance. As my bottom met the floor, I saw my entire life pass before my eyes. How nice it would be if no one had noticed! But as all the students there came to their feet, table by table, cheering and clapping, I knew they had not only noticed, they were 56 that I would never forget it. For three days I ate junk food alone. On the fourth day I needed some real food. I made my way through the food line and tiptoed to a table, where I collapsed in 57 . Suddenly I heard a crash that sounded 58 . I looked up to see that another poor student slipped. My heart went out to him as people began to cheer and clap as they had for me. He got up, hands held high above his head in a victory clasp, grinning. He didn’t slide out as I had expected. 59 , he turned around and began preparing another tray. And that’s when I realized I had been taking myself too 60 . Who 61 whether I dropped a tray or whether I showed up in the wrong lecture? Nobody. Popularity was not so important in college. Once I recognized that I had no one’s 62 to live up to but my own, I relaxed and began to view college as a wonderful 63 . I tried on new experiences like articles of clothing, checking their 64 and judging their worth. College, I decided, was probably the only time I would be completely 65 for mistakes. So I used the opportunity to make all the ones I thought I’d never make. 46．A．academic B．mature C．positive D．genuine 47．A．Adding B．Adapting C．Committing D．Sticking 48．A．full B．open C．wide D．shut 49．A．senior B．professional C．junior D．freshman 50．A．schedule B．textbook C．assignment D．appointment 51．A．classmates B．assistant C．professor D．director 52．A．clap B．yell C．leave D．stare 53．A．set aside B．put on C．gave away D．took off 54．A．before B．while C．when D．until 55．A．twisted B．tipped C．cracked D．broke 56．A．determined B．surprised C．disappointed D．ashamed 57．A．relief B．amazement C．anxiety D．alarm 58．A．strange B．reasonable C．fascinating D．familiar 59．A．Still B．Moreover C．Instead D．However 60．A．seriously B．modestly C．personally D．kindly 61．A．judged B．cared C．noticed D．asked 62．A．suggestions B．promises C．expectations D．criticisms 63．A．exhibition B．landscape C．program D．experiment 64．A．fit B．location C．owner D．color 65．A．recognized B．forgiven C．praised D．blamed 话题2 家庭生活 Passage 1 After my mother suffered from Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病), the plants in our house began to die. In years past, I remember the deep, earthy smell that would 1 in our house after my mother had made her weekly watering rounds. Back then, I never connected it with the care that was at the 2 of everything she did. But now, leaves were 3 , some dry and edged with brown, and many of the stems (茎) bare. It was a mark of how my mother can no longer attend to all the things that she lovingly cared for. I was so focused on the increasing 4 of her own care that her beloved plants had 5 my notice. I began her old rounds, pouring water into the thirsty soil, and soon the plants 6 . That’s the thing about houseplants: They demand nothing. They wait quietly, no matter how 7 they are. But even after my best 8 , some of the plants couldn’t survive. My mother’s kind caregivers have since brought new ones to add to her 9 , and my father buys fresh flowers every week. Though Alzheimer’s disease 10 so much of her memory, her desire to care is still there. I would guide her down the steps to water the plants herself. I watched as her shaking hands picked the brown leaves. Each time, she smiled up at me with deep 11 because being able to 12 something is still, what brings her the greatest joy. I look at plants 13 these days. I see them as my mother does: 14 reminders of the need for kindness toward all living things.

As soon as we arrived at the campsite, she ran around, 33 far and wide, while my wife and I set up the tent. But as the sun began to 34 , Lily was scared of the dark and the strange noises of the forest. She clung (依偎) to us, her little body trembling. At first, I wanted to tell her there was nothing to be afraid of. But then I realized that simply 35 her fears wouldn’t help. So, I sat down with her, held her hand, and asked the reason. As she poured out her worries, I 36 attentively, validating (认同) her feelings. Then, we came up with a(n) 37 together. We gathered some sticks and made a “magic 38 circle” around the tent. I told her that this circle would keep all the scary things away. She seemed a little 39 . That night, lying in the tent, Lily asked me, “Dad, are you scared of anything?” I thought for a moment and then said, “Yes, I’m scared of not being a good enough dad for you.” She hugged me 40 and said, “You’re the best dad ever.” In that simple 41 , I realized that parenting is not just about protecting our children from the world, but also about being 42 with them, showing them that it’s okay to be 43 , and teaching them how to face their fears.

I 47 my love of food with Marie-Jeanne, my grandmother. Her magic was 48 not just by the countless emptied plates, but her skillful cooking of favorites. She thought of every detail.

He came out of the classroom building with a thick stack of books held tight in his arms. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I 1 to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.” I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him, knocking all his books out of his 2 and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying and landed in the grass. He looked up, and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So I ran over to him, and as he crawled around 3 his glasses, I saw tears in his eyes. As I handed him his glasses, I said, “Those guys are mean.” He looked at me and smiled 4 . Over the next years, Kyle and I became friends. On graduation day, Kyle was elected to 5 a graduation speech. He cleared his throat and began: “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you through 6 years. I’ll tell you a story.” I looked at my friend with 7 as he told the story of the day we first connected. He had planned to drop out of school over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his 8   and was carrying his stuff home. He looked directly at me and gave me a smile. “Thankfully, my friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.” As this boy revealed his 9 moment, I saw his mom and dad giving me that same grateful smile.

He never watered his new trees, which was contrary to conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants 12 them, which led to shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of 13 . Also, he’d beaten them with a rolled-up 14 , which is now hard to come in handy in the digital era. Hit! Smack! Slap! 15 , I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to attract the tree’s 16 . Twenty-five years later, every now and again, I walk by his house and am greeted by the 17 , which are very strong now. In fact, I also planted a couple of trees a few years ago. I carried water to them, sprayed them and 18 for them. Years of 19 has resulted in trees that expect to be waited on hand and foot. Whenever a cold wind blows in, they 20 with fear. I have two sons.

Many people going through mourning 26 they could have another word with their loved ones. That was certainly the case for 10-year-old Matilda Handy. After 27 both of her grandparents within a span of five years, she had an idea for a “postbox to heaven”, so she could write 28 to her late grandparents. Now, Matilda’s inspiring 29 is being adopted across cemeteries (墓地) in the UK so that others can continue to talk to those who have 30 . The first postbox to heaven was 31 at the Gedling Crematorium in Matilda’s native Nottingham. Matilda’s mother, Leanne, asked for 32 to put up the postbox, and the staff was 33 about the idea and gave their approval. 34 , an old postbox was decorated with white paint and gold lettering, along with a plaque (匾额) that reads “Letters to Heaven” in elegant cursive script. Matilda was the first person to drop her letter in the first postbox. Soon after, another 100 letters were 35 to the postbox in the first week alone. The ability to reach out to loved ones in a tactile way brought 36 to many people. The overwhelming success of the “postbox to heaven” did not go 37 . UK funeral directors embraced the idea, leading to its 38 at numerous locations. The concept has transcended borders, with other 39 following suit. “I am so 40 that our postboxes are able to help not just me and my family, but people all over the UK and the world,” says Matilda. 26．A．believe B．wish C．guess D．promise 27．A．meeting B．visiting C．losing D．accompanying 28．A．reports B．comments C．essays D．letters 29．A．policy B．proposal C．principle D．standard 30．A．set out B．broken down C．given in D．passed away 31．A．repaired B．removed C．installed D．decorated 32．A．permission B．explanation C．instruction D．location 33．A．particular B．enthusiastic C．hesitant D．cautious 34．A．Besides B．However C．Instead D．Therefore 35．A．added B．returned C．related D．contributed 36．A．hope B．burden C．comfort D．worry 37．A．unnoticed B．untouched C．unmentioned D．unsolved 38．A．presentation B．adjustment C．appointment D．adoption 39．A．families B．countries C．companies D．officials 40．A．satisfied B．interested C．delighted D．convinced Passage 4 I was once 41 in a hospital bed for weeks with a serious back problem. Unable to move and in great pain, I felt extremely 42 and needed something to pass the time. The idea of knitting came to me, and my mother soon-brought me needles and wool. At first, knitting was a 43 . But worse than the physical difficulty was my feeling of 44 . As a young man, I felt strange about this hobby, so I tried to 45 it from others. My secret did not last long, however. One day, a nurse came in and 46 my project. To my great 47 , she didn’t laugh. Instead, the similar story she 48 gave me the confidence to 49 . Soon, my little project started to 50 friendly attention from other doctors and nurses. They offered tips and encouragement, turning my 51 poem into a place filled with shared stories and kindness. One afternoon, a nurse noticed a small 52 in my work and skillfully fixed it. That single 53 of help meant the world to me. Eventually, I finished the sweater. It wasn’t just clothing; it was a beautiful 54 that even in the most rough times, one can discover new strengths and that human 55 is the best medicine. 41．A．laid B．treated C．stuck D．relaxed 42．A．concerned B．calm C．positive D．bored 43．A．challenge B．goal C．battle D．desire 44．A．nervousness B．stress C．shyness D．tension 45．A．remove B．hide C．balance D．borrow 46．A．designed B．spotted C．viewed D．acquired 47．A．surprise B．anger C．excitement D．satisfaction 48．A．brought out B．rose to C．talked about D．passed down 49．A．gather B．struggle C．argue D．continue 50．A．attract B．face C．challenge D．turn 51．A．normal B．lonely C．tough D．tense 52．A．loss B．design C．mistake D．figure 53．A．way B．form C．shot D．act 54．A．work B．reminder C．memory D．scene 55．A．connection B．performance C．communication D．friendship 话题4 运动与健康 Passage 1 On James Owen’s 70th birthday, he saw a video of himself walking slowly to the podium (讲台) where he was giving a talk, his feet hardly off the ground. “I looked like an old man,” said Owen, who built a successful 1 on Wall Street. Even worse, he felt like an old man. He was about 25 pounds overweight and he had chronic (慢性的)   2 with his back, knees, and shoulders. But instead of 3 to age, Owen decided to set an ambitious five-year 4 : He wanted to be pain-free and decided the way to get there was through exercise, even though he couldn’t do a single push-up at that time. Owen 5 his exercise plan by walking, though he started huffing and puffing after five minutes. But that didn’t 6 him. He kept at the walks every day, along with some stretching. Once he had those basics down, he started weight lifting and hired a personal trainer to teach him and 7 a routine he could follow on his own. The last piece was finding other activities he 8 , which turned out to be cycling and swimming. In less than five years, Owen was able to do three sets of 50 push-ups each and walk for miles each day. And yes, he was 9 of aches and pains. “Aging well is only about 20 to 25 percent genes, and the rest is lifestyle,” he says. Owen used his 10 to write a book called Just Move!

Her journey began at 65 when chronic back pain from years of poor posture 16 her to seek medical help. The doctor’s diagnosis — degenerative disc disease — was a 17 call that pushed her to try yoga, though she initially 18 its effectiveness for someone her age. After six months of 19 dedicated practice, including gentle morning stretches, Margaret noticed dramatic improvements in both flexibility and mental clarity. This progress inspired her to make a 20 she enrolled in a professional yoga teacher training program while adopting a completely 21 lifestyle. What started as therapy soon became a 22 — she discovered particular joy in guiding older beginners through modified poses. Today, with over 80,000 Instagram followers sharing their progress, the 23 enthusiast has not only 24 extraordinary flexibility but also built an intergenerational community. “With proper modifications, older people can 25 experience real benefits,” she demonstrates in her weekly classes. Her philosophy centers on three rules: “Persists View each fall as a 26 to improvement. 27 others: When one student masters a pose, we all celebrate together. Their energy will fuel yours.

He ran his first half marathon at 9 and since then he has been 33 at plenty of ultra marathons. He ran every day from his beachside home to his 34 on working days. The daily run enabled him to see the 35 of Australia, meet amazing people and most importantly, 36 himself physically and mentally (心理上).

In January, you might want to make changes and find a new diet plan. Many of these plans, advertised with fit people or 1 before-and-after photos, promise to help you fit into your jeans, improve your skin, and lower health risks. But are these diets as 2 as they seem? Are they backed by solid evidence? Celebrity endorsements (代言) can turn a diet into a popular trend, whether or not it has 3 backing. For example, the Raw Food diet, favored by stars like Uma Thurman, claims that cooking food 4 nutrients and enzymes (酶) that help digestion and prevent disease. Followers eat mostly uncooked plant-based foods, with the idea that it improves both health and memory. 5 , it makes perfect sense. When under scientific examination, however, the diet goes up in smoke. “The Raw Food diet has the least scientific evidence or reasoning behind it,” says Dr Scott Harding, lecturer in nutritional sciences at King’s College London. “There is no way that eating raw food specifically improves people’s antioxidant (抗氧化的) capacity or directly 6 their risk of developing long-term diseases.” Scientific reasoning might have quickly 7 raw food, but researchers have engaged more enthusiastically with other fashionable eating plans. Take the paleo diet, the most searched eating plan online. By basing the diet on the supposed eating habits of our lean, disease-free hunter-gatherer 8 , this plan promises weight loss, as well as a reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. The rules: no 9 food, sugar, dairy, or grains, just foods that can be hunted, fished or gathered. It sounds 10 , but is the science reliable? Paleo’s problem is in its 11 . As critics have pointed out, our digestive systems and food have evolved significantly in the past 10 million years. Contrary to popular 12 of caveman’s meat-based and low-carb diet, evolutionary research suggests that our earlier ancestors fed frequently on nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables rather than meat and fish, Stone Age humans would have eaten around 20 different types of plant-based foods a day, says Dr Mark Berry, senior research and development manager at Unilever, who led a 2010 study into the paleolithic diet. “It has been described as a low carb, no-grain diet, but the 13 form isn’t quite how it was,” says registered nutritionist and dietician Sue Baic, co-author of Nutrition for Dummies. “ 14 , the paleo diets had quite a lot of plant foods. The diets are characterized by low energy density, high fibre and plenty of beneficial plant compounds.” It’s the variety of these plant nutrients that is crucial to the diet’s 15 . 1．A．unnatural B．embarrassing C．rare D．inspiring 2．A．great B．abstract C．simple D．strange 3．A．financial B．scientific C．popular D．conditional 4．A．absorbs B．destroys C．provides D．increases 5．A．In practice B．By contrast C．To date D．On paper 6．A．assesses B．exposes C．reduces D．carries 7．A．defined B．changed C．dismissed D．completed 8．A．supporters B．developers C．competitors D．ancestors 9．A．processed B．imported C．packaged D．collected 10．A．shocking B．convincing C．amusing D．boring 11．A．promise B．variation C．assumption D．search 12．A．compositions B．interpretations C．distributions D．exploitations 13．A．limited B．simplified C．fixed D．publicised 14．A．Actually B．Unfortunately C．Similarly D．Eventually 15．A．effectiveness B．evolution C．session D．subjectiveness Passage 2 As an American high school student, I never imagined my first trip to China would be during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Arriving in Beijing, I was immediately 16 by its charm. Excited and curious, I was eager to 17 the traditions of this ancient festival. On the festival eve, my host family invited me to a family 18 . As we sat around a table full of traditional dishes, I took a bite of a mooncake. “ 19 delicious!” I cried. Later, my host brother, Liang, suggested we write our 20 on paper and tie them to lanterns before 21 them into the sky. As night fell, we went to a nearby park where 22 lanterns of various shapes and sizes were lighting up the sky, with white, red, yellow, purple and blue, decorating a beautiful night. I tied a wish for world peace to my lantern. Watching our lanterns fly high, I felt a deep sense of amazement and 23 . Liang explained, “Lanterns 24 family reunion because their round shape reminds people of the full moon.” The best part of the night was the lantern-making 25 . Even though I didn’t know much about it, I decided to try and made a lantern with a full moon and a rabbit, 26 the moon goddess Chang’e and her pet, the Jade Rabbit. 27 , my lantern won first prize, getting a warm hug from my new family. As time passed by, the festivities 28 into memory and I also reflected on the lesson I had learned: it taught me to 29 every opportunity to learn about new cultures.

In 2010, the 32-year-old U. S. national traveled to the Wudang Mountains to 31 martial arts (武术). Pinnick was very 32 in Chinese Kung Fu from a young age. When Pinnick first arrived in the Wudang Mountains, he had no martial arts experience, so he began with a five-year 33 program, learning the basics. After over a decade of hard training, he has mastered various 34 of martial arts, including Tai Chi and Qigong. And finally, he 35 an instructor with about 200 students in China, teaching traditional Chinese Kung Fu. This year is the 10th Spring Festival that Pinnick has spent in China. He 36 the Spring Festival and the traditions here, and he also teaches his daughter these traditions. As the new 37 begins, people are starting new chapters in their lives and making resolutions. Pinnick also has many 38 . He believes that learning martial arts is not 39 . He wants to learn more. He plans on making more efforts to learn the Chinese 40 this year. “For a long time, I have been able to communicate in Chinese very well,” he said. “But I want to improve my 41 and writing skills. As I think learning about Chinese literary works is also a great way to explore its culture.” In addition to learning Chinese, Pinnick will 42 to learn about traditional Chinese culture and how to play Chinese musical instruments. “I think that the 43 I’ve had, being a foreigner coming to China and learning the culture from 44 , is unique.

She was born in China and lived there until the age of six. It was in those years that the seeds of love for Chinese culture were 47 . Even after moving back to the U. S., Urbonya's parents used Chinese TV dramas to 48 her Chinese language abilities. The seeds of passion 49 her back to China in 2011, studying Chinese dance in Beijing Normal University. “When I was a kid, I had a “princess dream”. I often cover my shoulder with a blanket, 50 I was an ancient Chinese princess,” she said. A chance to 51 that dream occurred in 2020, when a TV show had Urbonya visit a hanfu festival. “Hanfu has wide 52 and is winning recognition in the world. I got the full hanfu experience and I 53 then that hanfu culture is a new-found way to bring Chinese 54 to the present,” she said. She 55 that 10 years ago when she was in college, wearing hanfu was a(n) 56 sight and she could only buy custom-made hanfu. “If I had worn hanfu walking down the street, people would probably ask 57 in their hearts, ‘Why is this foreigner wearing an ancient outfit on the street?” “Now, she has 58 hanfu in her everyday wear and is able to purchase different 59 of hanfu online. “I'm really happy to be a hanfu culture enthusiast, and I hope to make it more 60 to those outside of China,” she said. 46．A．mysteries B．ambitions C．surprises D．contradictions 47．A．spread B．collected C．sowed D．blossomed 48．A．keep up B．hold up C．take up D．wrap up 49．A．delivered B．brought C．forced D．flashed 50．A．celebrating B．demanding C．guaranteeing D．pretending 51．A．achieve B．appreciate C．imagine D．establish 52．A．appeal B．exposure C．admiration D．devotion 53．A．proposed B．indicated C．realized D．proved 54．A．faith B．history C．values D．virtues 55．A．memorized B．declared C．reminded D．recalled 56．A．popular B．rare C．desirable D．crucial 57．A．ridiculously B．seriously C．casually D．curiously 58．A．folded B．included C．replaced D．created 59．A．ranges B．models C．sizes D．styles 60．A．reliable B．comfortable C．accessible D．reasonable 话题6 文学与文化 Passage 1 I never planned on learning Chinese. Even when I found out I was going to Shanghai, I assumed that I would be able to 1 English. It didn’t take long for me to realize how naive (天真的) I was. Chinese characters are totally foreign and 2 . I quickly got sick of not being able to understand anything, and I decided to 3 for the Chinese class offered by my university. I had Chinese every weekday, after which I spent at least an hour 4 the lesson. In the evening, my friends and I quizzed each other on the 5 we had to master. More importantly, I made a conscious (有意识的) 6 to communicate in Chinese in stores and restaurants. I was 7 when I was able to have a simple conversation with the locals. When I 8 achieved “A”s on my Chinese exams, I thought it was time to take a break from studying for Chinese every day and focus on my other classes. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a(n) 9 . Not only were the lessons themselves getting harder, but my study habits were 10 . I had no choice but to start from the beginning in terms of coming up with and 11 new study habits. With finals coming up, I have established my golden rule: there isn’t a(n) 12 way to learn a new language.

Ruby had just finished 16 Charlotte’s Web and loved how a spider saved a pig. She asked her mum, “Could we give every kid a book so they can feel that 17 too?” Mum laughed, “With whose money?” Ruby opened her pink ceramic piggy bank: £7.20 in coins. She taped a 18 to the outside that read “BookBank — Please 19 Me” and set it on the kitchen window. 20 spread. Neighbors dropped in spare change; the local 21 gave £5 and a stack of withdrawn (下架的) novels. After four weeks the piggy rattled with £112. Ruby and her mum visited a discount warehouse and filled two suitcases with 340 gently-used 22 . Ruby insisted on writing a personal message inside each 23 : “Adventure is waiting — turn the page!” The next Saturday, Ruby 24 a “Free Book Stall” outside her school gate. Children swapped coins for stories, but Ruby shook her head. “Today books are 25 !” Within an hour every book had a new owner. One boy held The Gruffalo 26 like treasure and said, “I’ve never owned a book before.” Ruby 27 so wide that her cheeks hurt. The local newspaper 28 the tale and nickname Ruby “The Book Fairy.” 29 poured in, and the head teacher created a permanent “Ruby’s Reading Corner” in the library.

Since elementary school, I have always 31 subjects like science and math. To me, these subjects, full of discoveries and 32 , seem to play a more important role in human progress than humanities (人文学科). And I always naturally thought of these subjects as more reliable and 33 than classes like English. If there was no right 34 , I thought, why bother? But recently I had an experience that taught me that my 35 in learning is more flexible than I had thought: I took my first philosophy class. Before I entered the classroom, I was doubtful. I waited outside with the other students and wondered what exactly philosophy would involve. I 36 getting into pretty long and boring conversations intended to 37 on the meaning of life. But what I got was something quite 38 . A young man in jeans, Mr. Jones — “but you can call me Rob” — was 39 the white-haired, buttoned-up old man I had expected. Rather than 40 us into boring arguments about difficult-to-understand philosophical points, Rob communicated with us on our level. To talk free will, we looked at our own challenges. To talk morals (道德), we reviewed the 41 we had made. By the end of class, I’d discovered that questions with no right answer can turn out to be the most 42 ones. It 43 me that if I let go of my prejudice (偏见), I can actually get a lot out of the subjects I once 44 .

However, I don’t have an answer to either, as all the books I’ve read are lost in my 46 memories. 47 , I haven’t lost everything in my long memory, so let me take you into my reading life. My reading life started when I was one year old. I could only 48 small picture books on my small bed beside my mom. She was a great storyteller and always spoke while 49 a lot of facial expressions. Even if I couldn’t read, I could understand the 50 of her facial expressions. Sometimes I wonder why she didn’t choose a job as an 51 . The second part of my reading life is called “bridge book”. A bridge book is a kind of book that 52 picture books and textbooks. At that time, my Chinese and English 53 wasn’t very large, so I had to 54 bridge books as they were the easiest for me. I was like a frog in a well. I didn’t know there was a bigger world of books waiting for me to 55 . The next period was between when I was five and a half to seven years old. In this period of my life, I started to see the world in a 56 and wider way. I started to walk out of that deep 57 and learned there were many books waiting for me. 58 bridge books, I went into the 59 of textbooks and started to read them. In the world of textbooks, I felt a door was opened in front of me, and the light was 60 through the door, so I stepped into the light and started to read tons and tons of books. 46．A．storm-like B．river-like C．ever-lasting D．time-consuming 47．A．Promisingly B．Impressively C．Fortunately D．Excitedly 48．A．go about B．listen to C．draw up D．search for 49．A．adding B．enjoying C．changing D．keeping 50．A．charm B．claim C．patience D．meaning 51．A．nurse B．actress C．teacher D．librarian 52．A．connects B．appreciates C．estimates D．designs 53．A．grammar B．comprehension C．vocabulary D．expression 54．A．adapt to B．attend to C．turn to D．object to 55．A．change B．challenge C．load D．explore 56．A．realistic B．precise C．cautious D．different 57．A．well B．bridge C．book D．thought 58．A．Casting B．Abandoning C．Preserving D．Exposing 59．A．eyes B．feet C．arms D．faces 60．A．pouring B．breaking C．seeing D．pulling $专题03 完形填空6大常考话题 话题1 学校生活 话题4 运动与健康 话题2 家庭生活 话题5 节日与习俗 话题3 社会关系 话题6 文学与文化 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 话题1 学校生活 Passage 1 Jenna, a popular girl from Westwood Middle School, had graduated first in her class and was ready for 1 in high school. However, high school was different. In the first week, Jenna went to tryouts (选拔赛) for cheerleaders (拉拉队员), and competed against very talented girls. She knew it would be 2 for her to be elected.

The fact was that no matter how 46 I liked to consider myself, I was feeling just a bit first-gradish. 47 to my concern was the impression that everyone on campus was watching me. My plan was to keep my mouth 48 and hope no one would notice I was a 49 . The next morning, I marched in my first class and opened my Collection of American literature. “Welcome to Biology,” the professor began. I searched for my 50 and found I was in the wrong room. Leave in the middle of the lecture? Wouldn’t the 51 be angry? I knew everyone would 52 . Forget it. I settled into my chair and 53 the scientific pose of a biology major. After class I hurried to the canteen. I was heading for the salad bar 54 I accidentally stepped in a large puddle of ketchup. Just as I tried to move, my food tray (托盘) 55 and I lost my balance. As my bottom met the floor, I saw my entire life pass before my eyes. How nice it would be if no one had noticed! But as all the students there came to their feet, table by table, cheering and clapping, I knew they had not only noticed, they were 56 that I would never forget it. For three days I ate junk food alone. On the fourth day I needed some real food. I made my way through the food line and tiptoed to a table, where I collapsed in 57 . Suddenly I heard a crash that sounded 58 . I looked up to see that another poor student slipped. My heart went out to him as people began to cheer and clap as they had for me. He got up, hands held high above his head in a victory clasp, grinning. He didn’t slide out as I had expected. 59 , he turned around and began preparing another tray. And that’s when I realized I had been taking myself too 60 . Who 61 whether I dropped a tray or whether I showed up in the wrong lecture? Nobody. Popularity was not so important in college. Once I recognized that I had no one’s 62 to live up to but my own, I relaxed and began to view college as a wonderful 63 . I tried on new experiences like articles of clothing, checking their 64 and judging their worth. College, I decided, was probably the only time I would be completely 65 for mistakes.

In January, you might want to make changes and find a new diet plan. Many of these plans, advertised with fit people or 1 before-and-after photos, promise to help you fit into your jeans, improve your skin, and lower health risks. But are these diets as 2 as they seem? Are they backed by solid evidence? Celebrity endorsements (代言) can turn a diet into a popular trend, whether or not it has 3 backing. For example, the Raw Food diet, favored by stars like Uma Thurman, claims that cooking food 4 nutrients and enzymes (酶) that help digestion and prevent disease. Followers eat mostly uncooked plant-based foods, with the idea that it improves both health and memory. 5 , it makes perfect sense. When under scientific examination, however, the diet goes up in smoke. “The Raw Food diet has the least scientific evidence or reasoning behind it,” says Dr Scott Harding, lecturer in nutritional sciences at King’s College London. “There is no way that eating raw food specifically improves people’s antioxidant (抗氧化的) capacity or directly 6 their risk of developing long-term diseases.” Scientific reasoning might have quickly 7 raw food, but researchers have engaged more enthusiastically with other fashionable eating plans. Take the paleo diet, the most searched eating plan online. By basing the diet on the supposed eating habits of our lean, disease-free hunter-gatherer 8 , this plan promises weight loss, as well as a reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. The rules: no 9 food, sugar, dairy, or grains, just foods that can be hunted, fished or gathered. It sounds 10 , but is the science reliable? Paleo’s problem is in its 11 . As critics have pointed out, our digestive systems and food have evolved significantly in the past 10 million years. Contrary to popular 12 of caveman’s meat-based and low-carb diet, evolutionary research suggests that our earlier ancestors fed frequently on nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables rather than meat and fish, Stone Age humans would have eaten around 20 different types of plant-based foods a day, says Dr Mark Berry, senior research and development manager at Unilever, who led a 2010 study into the paleolithic diet. “It has been described as a low carb, no-grain diet, but the 13 form isn’t quite how it was,” says registered nutritionist and dietician Sue Baic, co-author of Nutrition for Dummies. “ 14 , the paleo diets had quite a lot of plant foods. The diets are characterized by low energy density, high fibre and plenty of beneficial plant compounds.” It’s the variety of these plant nutrients that is crucial to the diet’s 15 . 1．A．unnatural B．embarrassing C．rare D．inspiring 2．A．great B．abstract C．simple D．strange 3．A．financial B．scientific C．popular D．conditional 4．A．absorbs B．destroys C．provides D．increases 5．A．In practice B．By contrast C．To date D．On paper 6．A．assesses B．exposes C．reduces D．carries 7．A．defined B．changed C．dismissed D．completed 8．A．supporters B．developers C．competitors D．ancestors 9．A．processed B．imported C．packaged D．collected 10．A．shocking B．convincing C．amusing D．boring 11．A．promise B．variation C．assumption D．search 12．A．compositions B．interpretations C．distributions D．exploitations 13．A．limited B．simplified C．fixed D．publicised 14．A．Actually B．Unfortunately C．Similarly D．Eventually 15．A．effectiveness B．evolution C．session D．subjectiveness 【答案】 1．D 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．D 6．C 7．C 8．D 9．A 10．B 11．C 12．B 13．D 14．A 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了节后人们可能寻求新的饮食计划，但这些计划是否真的有效，是否有科学依据的问题。 1．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：许多这类计划用身材健美的人或鼓舞人心的前后对比照做广告，承诺帮你穿上牛仔裤、改善皮肤、降低健康风险。A. unnatural不自然的；B. embarrassing令人尴尬的；C. rare稀有的；D. inspiring鼓舞人心的。根据下文的“before-and-after photos”和“promise to help you fit into your jeans, improve your skin, and lower health risks”可知，广告用的前后对比照应是“鼓舞人心的”，以吸引人们尝试。故选D项。 2．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但这些节食计划真的像看起来那么好吗？A. great极好的；B. abstract抽象的；C. simple简单的；D. strange奇怪的。根据上文广告承诺的效果及下文“Are they backed by solid evidence?”的质疑可知，此处是问这些计划是否像看起来那么“好”。故选A项。 3．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：名人代言能让一种节食计划成为流行趋势，无论它是否有科学依据。A. financial金融的；B. scientific科学的；C. popular流行的；D. conditional有条件的。根据下文的“When under scientific examination, however, the diet goes up in smoke.”可知，然而，当这种饮食接受科学检验时，却化为乌有，所以此处指的是无论饮食是否有“科学”依据，名人代言都可以使其成为流行趋势。故选B项。 4．考查动词词义辨析。句意：例如，Uma Thurman等明星青睐的生食饮食声称，烹饪会破坏有助于消化和预防疾病的营养物质和酶。A. absorbs吸收；B. destroys破坏；C. provides提供；D. increases增加。根据下文的“that help digestion and prevent disease”以及“Followers eat mostly uncooked plant-based foods, with the idea that it improves both health and memory.”可知，生食饮食的核心主张是吃未煮熟的食物，认为烹饪会“破坏”营养。故选B项。 5．考查介词短语辨析。句意：从理论上讲，这很有道理。A. In practice在实践中；B. By contrast相比之下；C. To date到目前为止；D.
