1. 句意:这是一个放松并远离学业压力的绝佳机会。
根据“relax”和“schoolwork”的语境,此处应填“pressure”,表示远离学业压力。purpose“目的”和present“礼物/现在”不符合语境。

“felt a little...of failing”需要一个表达负面情绪的词,“scared”(害怕的)符合“从未做过某事担心失败”的心理。
3. 句意:然后我们必须耐心等待。
后文提到“Dad told me to be patient”,因此此处应填“patiently耐心地”。
4. 句意:起初,我很无聊,想要放弃。
根据“bored”和“wanted to...”的语境,“give up”符合“因无聊想停止钓鱼”的心理。
5. 句意:我开始感到放松和平静。
前文提到“notice the beautiful things around me”,结合“peaceful平静的”,此处应填“relaxed放松的”。stressed“有压力的”和bored“无聊的”与语境相反。

“showed”(表明/显示)符合“这次经历让我明白道理”的逻辑。“pushed推动”和“hurt伤害”不符合语境。
10. 句意:这次郊游不仅仅是一项有趣的活动。

What does taking a risk mean? It means trying challenging things even if they make you feel uncomfortable or afraid.

The 2 of performing in front of people made me worried. The reason why I 3 to perform was that I wanted to take part in my school theatre programme.
On the day of the audition (试演), there were also some acting exercises to warm us up. We were divided into pairs to 4 parts of the play. I felt very worried. After I said some of the lines, my partner said, “I 5 you are stuttering. Is that for dramatic effect or do you really stutter?” I was speechless.
When my 6 to audition came, my heart was beating fast. Across from me sat the director and his assistants (助手). Needless to say, I was really 7 my performance. I played the role of a male painter who pretended (假装) to be a woman. My partner was playing a businessman who wanted to marry me (the woman). We said our lines and, 8 , I didn’t stutter. We went through it several times, and finally it was over. I was so 9 . The next Monday I was told that I had made the play. How excited I was!

1. 句意:我不仅是个表演经验极少的人,还是个口吃患者。
后文提到but also a person who stuttered,表明此处说的是自身不利条件,结合选项,little表示“极少的”,符合表演经验少这一语境。enough意思是“足够的”,some表示“一些”,均与文意不符。
2. 句意:在众人面前表演的想法让我很担心。
从后文made me worried可知,是某种想法让自己担忧,thought是“想法”,符合语境。experience指“经历”,memory意为“记忆,回忆”,都不符合此处逻辑。

后文that I wanted to take part in my school theatre programme是决定表演的原因,decide to do sth.是固定用法,表示“决定做某事”,decided符合语境。fail表示“失败”,afford意思是“负担得起”,均不能体现这种因果关系。
4. 句意:我们被分成两人一组来准备剧本的一部分内容。
根据前文On the day of the audition (试演), there were also some acting exercises to warm us up.可知试演有热身活动,这里两人一组自然是为了准备剧本内容,prepare表示“准备”,符合文意。compare是“比较”,understand为“理解”,都不符合此处情境。
5. 句意:我留意到你口吃了。
后文Is that for dramatic effect or do you really stutter?表明伙伴察觉到了自己口吃,notice表示“注意到”,符合语境。promise意为“承诺”,agree是“同意”,均与察觉口吃这一行为不相关。
6. 句意:轮到我试演的时候,我的心怦怦直跳。
结合语境,这里说的是试演的顺序轮到自己了,turn有“轮次,顺序”的意思,符合文意。hope表示“希望”,dream是“梦想”,都不能准确表达此处含义。

前文my heart was beating fast体现出紧张,说明是担心表演,be worried about是固定短语,表示“担心……”,worried about符合语境。be amazed at表示“对……感到惊讶”,be excited about表示“对……感到兴奋”,均不符合此处心情。。
8. 句意:令人意外的是,我没有口吃。

前文We went through it several times, and finally it was over.说明试演结束了,所以会感到放松,relaxed表示“放松的”,符合语境。bored表示“无聊的”,interested表示“感兴趣的”,都不符合试演结束后的心情。
10. 句意:很明显,我的口吃无法阻止我做自己想做的事。

9. 句意:我甚至能够用英语做一个简短的演讲。

本文讨论了自动取款机(ATM)数量下降的现象,分析了互联网技术发展、在线支付普及、服务费用高昂以及维护成本等因素对ATM使用的影响,同时指出ATM对老年用户和乡村地区仍有价值,体现了技术如何改变我们的生活。
1. 句意:然而,在过去几年里,它们的数量一直在大幅下降。
ATM数量下降的幅度很大,需用greatly体现程度之深。directly“直接地”、totally“完全地”均无法体现数量下降的幅度。
2. 句意:数据显示,在过去五年里,ATM的总数已经下降到80万。
句子表达数据呈现出的内容,suggests符合“数据表明”的语境。predicts“预测”、makes“制作”均与数据呈现事实的语境不符。

ATM的核心功能是提供便捷服务,convenient符合其初衷。important“重要的”、careful“仔细的”均未体现ATM的核心功能。
4. 句意:因此,越来越少的人使用现金;相反,人们更喜欢自己在线办理银行业务。

7. 句意:但ATM并非完全不必要。
后文提到ATM对老年用户和乡村地区仍有价值,否定其“不必要”性,unnecessary符合语境。unhappy“不高兴的”、unforgettable“难忘的”均与语境无关。
8. 句意:它们仍然对喜欢用现金支付的老年用户和一些乡村地区的人有用。
固定搭配pay in cash表示“用现金支付”,in符合搭配要求。at、for均无法与pay构成此搭配。
9. 句意:它给社会带来了许多优势。
全文讨论技术对生活的影响,此处指技术对“社会”的改变,society符合语境。internet“互联网”、environment“环境”均范围过窄。
10. 句意:它不仅连接了全世界的人,还让我们的生活更智能、更美好。
技术的作用是促进人与人之间的连接,connects符合其功能。protects“保护”、discusses“讨论”均不符合技术促进交流的功能。

At noon, the sky suddenly turned dark. Boom! Thunder boomed through the sky as we reached Tom’s uncle’s riverside house. Aunt Li was busy making lunch. Before we could react, Tom’s cousin Mia 5 the red pepper bottle. Red clouds flew in the kitchen! “The fish isn’t 6 yet!” Aunt Li cried.
Tom calmly opened the window. “Let’s 7 the storm into our recipe!” He picked fresh mint (薄荷) leaves from the garden. Soon, the kitchen smelled of rain, herbs, and 8 .
