When I was young, flowers filled my mom’s garden each spring. I never thought that Mom had done much about them behind the scenes (在幕后), until she shared her 1 with me.

I was so 3 and my fingers were numb (麻木的) by the time we finished. 4 the ground looked empty and flat as it had been before. Then Mom told me to wait. I didn’t only wait—I watched. I watched hopefully all through the winter...
On the last day of April, I went outside to find the garden full of 5 flowers. Our hard work paid off.
“My boy, tomorrow morning.” Mom said. “We will walk the neighborhood and leave a basket of flowers on each doorstep.”
“What?” I almost cried. “Are we 6 our flowers?”
“Of course not,” she said excitedly. “In fact, nobody will even 7 they’re from us. We’ll leave them at our neighbors’ as a 8 . Doesn’t that sound fun?”
“To me, it doesn’t sound fun at all,” I replied unwillingly. “They’re our flowers. We should keep them for 9 !”

Early the next morning, Mom woke me up. We brought the baskets and stopped near the first 11 . I took one basket, set it by the doorstep and rang the bell. Then we 12 ran away, hid behind the trees and waited.
Finally, the door opened. A man came out, looking surprised. He 13 the flower basket and then smiled. Mom hugged me. I got a good 14 inside. Now I knew what she meant about beauty sharing. I couldn’t wait to get to the next house.

Our school recently held a flea market. I prepared 1 for it, choosing what I believed were the most beautiful things to sell. I imagined they would be 2 and that I would earn a nice bit of pocket money. However, the event didn’t go 3 , I had hoped at all.
“Don’t miss out! Ancient-style bookmarks on sale!” I stood in front of my stall, shouting at the top of my voice to attract 4 . However, most classmates only had a quick look at my stall before they 5 others. Looking at my bookmarks, I felt quite 6 — they were as beautiful as paintings, so why didn’t anyone stop to look at them?
After a while, I tried 7 the price, thinking that might help. But even then, hardly anyone showed interest. Feeling sad, I started walking around aimlessly. I met one of my good friends and poured out my 8 to him. He said, “Everyone finds it hard the first time! Last time, no one even looked at the old school things I brought — everyone was taking snacks instead!” His words got me 9 . I had chosen products according to my own tastes, 10 thinking about what my classmates really wanted. It was like studying the wrong materials before a test — 11 to fail!
As a first-time “vendor”, I learned an important 12 : success requires understanding your customers. I had been so focused on what I liked that I forgot to 13 the interests of others. Even though I only sold a few bookmarks, I gained something more valuable than pocket money — the ability to observe (观察), rethink, and see things in 14 people’s shoes. Now I know that next time I try something new, I should think about 15 people really need or like. That’s the real key to success.

Forgiveness (原谅) waits patiently in the first days of the New Year.
It was a cold winter night when my father asked me to come and sit by his side. In some way, I was able to sense his 1 .
My father had always been busy. He was a successful businessman and a 2 leader, but he was not a “good dad”. He missed out on too many important 3 in my life because of so many business trips. I never 4 him with my growing up.
As we talked about my childhood memories, he said, “Jane, I want to say sorry to you.” My heart beat really fast. In my mind, he had been 5 for years for those absences (缺席)—from my birth, to my concert performances, parent meetings, and more. He always seemed too busy to 6 anything.
Then, he let out a tiny 7 . It was the first time I had ever seen his tears (泪水). I was surprised and could only 8 my hand on his back, not able to say a word. He continued, “I’m sorry that I haven’t been there for you all these years. You have no idea how many 9 I have wanted to give you a hug. I want to tell you that you always make me feel 10 . I just want to let you know how much I love you...”
I listened to him and kept 11 until my eyes became watery, until I couldn’t hold back my tears. I realized that 12 I was blaming (责备) my father for his disappointing absence, he was also offering me comfort, warmth, and family support after a lifetime of long days of 13 . I wasn’t there for him, either. At that time, all my complaints (抱怨) seemed so 14 . I felt ashamed.
“Dad,” I said as he looked at me.“ I am sorry, too.”
On that day, we 15 the same fresh air of forgiveness together. For the first time, we entered the new year as father and daughter.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了在新年伊始,作者的父亲向自己道歉,两人最终相互原谅、和解的故事,体现了宽恕的价值。
1.句意:在某种程度上,我能感受到他的悲伤。
sadness悲伤;happiness幸福;pride骄傲;attention注意。根据下文描述父亲因错过女儿成长中的重要时刻而道歉的场景,可知此处应是一种负面的情绪。下文“he said, ‘Jane, I want to say sorry to you.’”证实了父亲的歉疚情绪,故选A。
2.句意:他是一位成功的商人,也是一位英明的领导者,但他不是一个“好爸爸”。
silly愚蠢的;wise英明的;strict严格的;strange奇怪的。根据上下文“successful businessman”和“leader”的并列,需要一个积极的形容词来修饰“领导者”,且与“成功”语义一致,英明符合逻辑。故选B。
3.句意:他因为太多出差而错过了我生命中许多重要的时刻。
teams团队;meetings会议;moments时刻;games游戏。根据下文列举的“from my birth, to my concert performances, parent meetings, and more”可知,这些都是孩子成长中的特定时间点或事件,即“时刻”。故选C。
4.句意:我从未让他参与到我的成长过程中。
translated翻译;admired钦佩;connected联系;chose选择。根据上文父亲因出差而缺席,以及“with my growing up”的搭配,此处意为“建立联系/参与其中”。短语connect sb. with sth. 意为“使某人与某事产生联系”,符合语境。故选C。
5.句意:在我的心里,多年来我一直认为他缺席那些场合是错误的——从我的出生,到我的音乐会表演、家长会等等。
pleased高兴的;excited兴奋的;happy快乐的;wrong错误的。根据上文父亲因错过重要时刻而道歉,以及后文“from my birth... He always seemed too busy...”的表述,可知作者内心一直认为父亲的做法是不对的,故应选错误的。故选D。
6.句意:他总是显得太忙,以至于没有注意到任何事情。
receive接收;notice注意到;return返回;request要求。根据“too busy to”和“anything”的搭配,以及前文提到的缺席各种场合,可知父亲因忙碌而“没有注意到”这些事情。故选B。
7.句意:然后,他发出一声轻微的哭声。
song歌曲;cry哭泣;noise噪音;laugh笑声。根据下文“It was the first time I had ever seen his tears (泪水)”,流泪对应的是哭泣。故选B。
8.句意:我很惊讶,只能把手放在他的背上,说不出一句话。
throw扔;pull拉;lay放,平放;wave挥舞。根据“my hand on his back”的搭配,表示一个轻柔的、安慰性的动作,lay“放置”最符合语境。故选C。
9.句意:你不知道有多少次我想给你一个拥抱。
ways方法;deals交易;chances机会;times次数。根据“how many”和“wanted to give you a hug”的搭配,表示“多少次”,强调频次,times“次数”最合适。故选D。
10.句意:我想告诉你,你总是让我感到骄傲。
proud骄傲的;busy忙碌的;painful痛苦的;relaxed放松的。根据上下文父亲道歉并表达爱意,以及“you always make me feel”的搭配,此处需要一个积极的情感词。结合常理,子女的成就会让父母感到骄傲,且与后文“I just want to let you know how much I love you...”情感一致。故选A。
11.句意:我听着他说话,一直保持沉默,直到我的眼睛湿润,直到我忍不住流下眼泪。
noisy吵闹的;silent沉默的;active活跃的;patient耐心的。根据“I listened to him and kept”和“until my eyes became watery”,描述听父亲倾诉时的状态,以及“not able to say a word”的提示,保持沉默符合逻辑。故选B。
12.句意:我意识到,当我因为父亲令人失望的缺席而责备他时,他也在漫长工作日之后给予我安慰、温暖和家庭支持。
if如果;unless除非;until直到;while当……时,而。根据“I was blaming my father...”和“he was also offering me comfort...”可知,这两个动作同时发生,且有对比转折意味,while最符合逻辑。故选D。
13.句意:我意识到,当我因为父亲令人失望的缺席而责备他时,他也在漫长工作日之后给予我安慰、温暖和家庭支持。
work工作;regret后悔;effort努力;relief缓解。根据前文“because of so many business trips”和“He always seemed too busy”可知,父亲长时间忙于工作,故long days of work“漫长的工作日”是合理的。故选A。
14.句意:在那一刻,我所有的抱怨似乎都显得那么刻薄。
humorous幽默的;mean刻薄的,卑鄙的;fair公平的;clear清楚的。根据上下文,作者在听到父亲的肺腑之言后,感到羞愧 (felt ashamed),并意识到自己也有错 (I wasn’t there for him, either),因此反观自己之前的抱怨,会觉得那些话是“刻薄的”、“不近人情的”。故选B。
15.句意:那天,我们一起呼吸着宽恕所带来的同样清新的空气。
breathed呼吸;saved拯救;wasted浪费;protected保护。根据“the same fresh air”可知,与空气搭配的动词应为呼吸。且“breathed the same fresh air of forgiveness”是一个生动的比喻,意为“共同感受到/接纳了宽恕”。故选A。

The new high school was really large. Riya spent the first week of high school trying to 1 different classes in mind. She was at a loss by the building. She decided that she would remember where her 2 were and then leave the rest of the place behind. All the different hallways and classrooms were too many to 3 , let alone remember them.
In PE, Coach Wallace drove her mad when she was told that everyone had to run one mile around the track (跑道) outside.

When Coach Wallace 7 his whistle (哨子), Riya thought she would be left far behind. However, while some of her classmates ran ahead, others actually 8 behind. “It’s just the beginning,” she thought. “I’ll come in last for sure.”

As Riya walked back to the school building after PE, she noticed that she was not at a loss by its 14 . Maybe she would come to know the place, one lap 15 a time. Goals are easier to achieve in small steps.

One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl, “You speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.” The boy was quite 1 at the answer. Thinking he had not made 2 understood or the girl had not 3 him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.” 4 the girl still kept saying, “No.” In the end the American boy didn’t know 5 to say.
What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t 6 a compliment (称赞) in the same way as the American people do.

When I was young, flowers filled my mom’s garden each spring. I never thought that Mom had done much about them behind the scenes (在幕后), until she shared her 1 with me.
One day last November, Mom and I spent a whole morning 2 flower bulbs. I dropped one in each hole and covered it over with soil. I was so 3 and my fingers were numb (麻木的) by the time we finished. 4 the ground looked empty and flat as it had been before. Then Mom told me to wait. I didn’t only wait—I watched. I watched hopefully all through the winter...
On the last day of April, I went outside to find the garden full of 5 flowers. Our hard work paid off.
“My boy, tomorrow morning.” Mom said. “We will walk the neighborhood and leave a basket of flowers on each doorstep.”
“What?” I almost cried. “Are we 6 our flowers?”
“Of course not,” she said excitedly. “In fact, nobody will even 7 they’re from us. We’ll leave them at our neighbors’ as a 8 . Doesn’t that sound fun?”
“To me, it doesn’t sound fun at all,” I replied unwillingly. “They’re our flowers. We should keep them for 9 !”
“Flowers are like kindness,” Mom said. “Their beauty is meant to be 10 .”
Early the next morning, Mom woke me up. We brought the baskets and stopped near the first 11 . I took one basket, set it by the doorstep and rang the bell. Then we 12 ran away, hid behind the trees and waited.
Finally, the door opened. A man came out, looking surprised. He 13 the flower basket and then smiled. Mom hugged me. I got a good 14 inside. Now I knew what she meant about beauty sharing. I couldn’t wait to get to the next house.
By the time we got home, I was grinning (咧着嘴笑) from ear to ear. The garden was 15 , but my heart was full.

Our school recently held a flea market. I prepared 1 for it, choosing what I believed were the most beautiful things to sell. I imagined they would be 2 and that I would earn a nice bit of pocket money. However, the event didn’t go 3 , I had hoped at all.
“Don’t miss out! Ancient-style bookmarks on sale!” I stood in front of my stall, shouting at the top of my voice to attract 4 . However, most classmates only had a quick look at my stall before they 5 others. Looking at my bookmarks, I felt quite 6 — they were as beautiful as paintings, so why didn’t anyone stop to look at them?
After a while, I tried 7 the price, thinking that might help. But even then, hardly anyone showed interest. Feeling sad, I started walking around aimlessly. I met one of my good friends and poured out my 8 to him. He said, “Everyone finds it hard the first time! Last time, no one even looked at the old school things I brought — everyone was taking snacks instead!” His words got me 9 . I had chosen products according to my own tastes, 10 thinking about what my classmates really wanted. It was like studying the wrong materials before a test — 11 to fail!
As a first-time “vendor”, I learned an important 12 : success requires understanding your customers. I had been so focused on what I liked that I forgot to 13 the interests of others. Even though I only sold a few bookmarks, I gained something more valuable than pocket money — the ability to observe (观察), rethink, and see things in 14 people’s shoes. Now I know that next time I try something new, I should think about 15 people really need or like. That’s the real key to success.
