At fifteen years old, I found myself in a hospital bed, unable to 1 . It was a result of an accident during a fishing trip with a friend. My 2 of becoming an athlete was broken along with my backbone. I pushed away my loved ones and struggled to 3 my new reality. Returning home, I faced the challenge of getting around in a wheelchair. At first, I let my 4 get in the way, refusing to ask for help even when it 5 missing out on experiences I enjoyed. 6 , I realized that accepting help from others was not a sign of weakness but a necessary step towards 7 my independence and happiness. A turning point came when I met a friend who saw potential in me. He 8 me to try wheelchair sports and find joy in a new form of athleticism. I took up table tennis and, to my surprise, I 9 in it. My skills improved rapidly, and soon I was participating in the Wheelchair Games in Montreal, where I witnessed the incredible 10 of the athletes. Despite their physical disability, they trained for long hours, pushed through pains and never gave up. One incident that highlighted the daily obstacles faced by 11 people occurred when I encountered a girl struggling to jog up a hill. I didn’t let her struggle discourage me. With great 12 , I used humor to overcome the situation and challenge 13 attitudes. Looking back, I realize that the 14 was not the end of my life but the beginning of an incredible one. I am 15 for the support that has come my way.

Our first assignment (作业;任务) was to write a response paper to an essay by Albert Camus. I entered college 1 to get a degree in engineering. I always liked the way mathematics had clear answers and was good at it. So when I received this, I was instantly nervous. Even more troubling was that the professor 2 to give any guidelines; he gave us total 3 . Full of anxiety, I read Camus’ essay many times but still felt unsure. Unlike math, there were no set answers here, and I was forced to 4 my own understanding. When I sat down to write, my notes and ideas were all 5 , but the words were lost. I tried various strategies but nothing seemed to work. 6 , after a lot of stress, my ideas became more organized and the words fell on the page. Still, I wondered if what I was saying made sense. Through all the 7 , I continued writing the best I could and turned it in, simply hoping for the best. Then came judgment day. The professor returned our papers with grades and 8 . He gave me an A, showing that my essay was 9 overall and that my reading of the essay was original. My relief and newfound 10 upon reading his comments could not be overstated. What I learned through this process 11 well beyond a college paper. I learned to be 12 to new challenges. I left engineering and became a lawyer. Philosophy helped me 13 courage to try a new career path. More importantly, I learned that education is not just a path to a career but a chance to 14 . Philosophy taught me the value of learning for its own sake, and this lesson continues to 15 my life every day. 1．A．intending B．assuming C．appealing D．promising 2．A．agreed B．volunteered C．refused D．hesitated 3．A．imagination B．freedom C．vision D．assessment 4．A．reflect on B．account for C．submit to D．figure out 5．A．present B．familiar C．unique D．practical 6．A．Evidently B．Eventually C．Occasionally D．Absolutely 7．A．joy B．passion C．uncertainty D．disappointment 8．A．recognition B．persuasion C．notes D．comments 9．A．brief B．effective C．unreal D．critical 10．A．confidence B．gratitude C．energy D．credit 11．A．expected B．connected C．extended D．revealed 12．A．open B．sensitive C．faithful D．subject 13．A．admire B．seek C．show D．develop 14．A．adapt B．grow C．understand D．succeed 15．A．transfer B．appreciate C．impact D．determine Passage 3 I had never clearly explained what first started my interest in learning languages. One might 1 that it comes from my interests in culture or travel, but the real 2 came from a personal experience. During my early university years, I was eager to 3 about people from different backgrounds. Growing up in a rather 4 town, I had little exposure to diverse cultures until I entered university. Whenever I 5 someone from another country, I would learn a few phrases in their language. Even a simple 6 often created an instant touch and brought a smile. That 7 caused a deeper insight during a trip to Italy. One evening, I was sitting at a square in Catania with a group of Europeans. Among us was a 8 from South America who spoke only Spanish. No one else at the table knew the language, and I could 9 only a few basic phrases. He wanted to join the conversation but had to rely on 10 . When it finally became clear that it was his birthday, I 11 I couldn’t help him express himself. That moment taught me the true 12 of learning another language — not just for personal benefit, but for human 13 . Language allows people, whether from remote (偏远的) towns like me or from modern cities, to belong, to share, and to understand one another. After returning home, I began studying Spanish 14 . Since then, my interest in languages has remained constant: to 15 with people and avoid the silence that separates us when suitable words are absent. 1．A．warn B．hope C．promise D．guess 2．A．reason B．difference C．reward D．awareness 3．A．worry B．know C．care D．talk 4．A．crowded B．lonely C．modern D．large 5．A．came across B．searched for C．picked up D．heard from 6．A．choice B．decision C．change D．greeting 7．A．mission B．confusion C．curiosity D．identity 8．A．guide B．coworker C．waiter D．stranger 9．A．record B．contrast C．manage D．hear 10．A．volunteers B．sounds C．signs D．experts 11．A．regretted B．remembered C．feared D．pretended 12．A．value B．cost C．challenge D．means 13．A．errors B．connections C．skills D．rules 14．A．proudly B．hurriedly C．seriously D．nervously 15．A．agree B．contact C．compete D．meet Passage 4 We go through many changes, only to end up back at the beginning. In the beginning, I enjoyed reading 1 books as a child. To this day, I still own the book The Famous Five. In my teens I 2 through Agatha Christie, Alistair Maclean and the like. School later guided me toward Thomas Hardy’s novels and other serious fiction. After high school, a trip to France turned boring, 3 only by the copy of Anna Karenina I carried with me. That worn book still sits on my shelf, though I’m 4 to open it now in case it falls apart completely. At university, I studied English literature — and there, my love for reading slowly 5 . Reading, in my view, was for 6 , but analyzing (分析) texts in 7 classes stopped me from enjoying reading totally. After graduation, I largely gave up books. My 20s and 30s passed almost entirely 8 . Then, 9 , the digital age brought it all back. With the Kindle, an e-book reader, I 10 with literature and rediscovered my love for reading. But soon the smart phone 11 the Kindle as a means to read and this gradually took the joy away again. Smartphones 12 my ability to focus on anything lengthy, let alone a novel. My 13 ran out as quickly as the battery. Recently I picked out one of the old books on my bookshelf. I’ve 14 to my childhood reading style. I put the phone away, open the book, and 15 read. I felt like revisiting The Famous Five.

Growing up in Beijing I know historical sites and natural attractions perfectly well. However, I’d 1 climbed the Great Wall before until recently. I, along with my friends, 2 for the top. We soon discovered that the hike was much more 3 than we had imagined. But we didn’t 4 . It took us about two hours to finally 5 where we had wanted to get to. As I stood at the top of the Great Wall, I looked back at the waves of people walking to the top. At that moment, I saw an amazing 6 that would forever change my opinion on humans’ limits. I saw young couples carrying their children, walking 7 but surely towards the top. They would stop once in a while to take a 8 under the hot sun. As I stood there, I began to 9 words that can describe us humans. If one would like to describe Giraffes (长颈鹿), he/she would use words such as 10 and long-necked. But what about us? I took another look down below and my 11 began to gather, persevering (坚持不懈的), determined, and 12 ...  As these words came into my mind, I 13 that it was not appearance or physical characteristics that should define (定义) us humans, but the 14 that we share. I don’t know if I became a 15 man after returning from this trip according to the Chinese saying, but I surely returned as a more thoughtful person. 1．A．still B．also C．never D．already 2．A．waited B．allowed C．searched D．aimed 3．A．expensive B．interesting C．difficult D．important 4．A．break up B．give up C．keep up D．look up 5．A．reach B．understand C．clean D．cover 6．A．book B．photo C．future D．view 7．A．dangerously B．slowly C．worriedly D．strangely 8．A．break B．tip C．step D．note 9．A．care about B．make up C．tell about D．think of 10．A．healthy B．tall C．fat D．scary 11．A．thoughts B．emotions C．rules D．plans 12．A．funny B．normal C．strong D．lazy 13．A．worried B．argued C．feared D．realized 14．A．dreams B．qualities C．concerns D．experiences 15．A．boring B．humorous C．great D．serious 人与社会 Passage 1 The weather report says there will be over eight inches of snow in the New Jersey community. 1 , brothers Brian and Patrick 2 their old neighbor Blair, who counts on dialysis (透析) treatments — that meant the 3 could be a life or death situation. Brian started to get 4 . He works at an emergency medical Centre. He had 5 Blair’s driveway during a storm days earlier, but he knew this time he would be on the job when the storm struck. 6 , it was up to his brother Patrick to 7 Blair would be able to leave her house for the 8 she badly needs. Knowing time was absolutely important. Patrick opened up his 9 list and started reaching out to friends to 10 . Four of his fellow Parsippany High School seniors answered the call and decided to spend the night at Patrick’s house just to 11 and start getting rid of the snow at 4:30 a.m. With every 12 working together, it took less than 30 minutes to clear the fresh snow. When the boys expected the storm would force their town to 13 classes, they ended up with a two-hour 14 opening, giving them just enough time to rest before heading to school. The world might not have known about this simple act of 15 if Patrick’s father hadn’t posted a photo online.

Well into my sixties, I was 1 searching for something I did really well. When my friend advised me to join an art class, I 2 but finally decided to have a go. Now here I was staring at a 3 canvas (画布), with a photograph of a sunflower beside it, wondering what I was doing in this class. “Grid off (分格) the photo and canvas into squares,” Debbie, my teacher, walked us through the 4 of painting. As I followed the instructions, I thought back on my past 5 to make artwork. In junior high, I eagerly chose art, but my enthusiasm was 6 . The teacher’s harsh criticism quickly made me drop the class. Then in college, I 7 a drawing class but barely kept up, leaving my confidence 8 again. After that, my creative energies were restricted only to secret 9 . This time, I wouldn’t let that happen again. I gridded off my picture and painted just one 10 at a time. My shaky hands gradually 11 and found their rhythm. Little by little, a cheerful sunflower came to life. Debbie had told us, “Don’t think of it as part of a bigger picture. And don’t guess at where it 12 with the rest.” A single sunflower had brought me more 13 than an entire field of flowers. The sunflower finally 14 and bloomed (开花) within me: I was a late bloomer, finally uncovering a truth we too often forget — take small steps and dreams have no 15 limit. 1．A．already B．still C．ever D．just 2．A．spilled B．accepted C．hesitated D．argued 3．A．blank B．strange C．tough D．painted 4．A．trends B．chores C．tests D．basics 5．A．attempts B．excuses C．promises D．reactions 6．A．short-sighted B．short-lived C．ever-growing D．far-reaching 7．A．missed B．skipped C．designed D．braved 8．A．on guard B．on purpose C．in pieces D．in chains 9．A．hobbies B．careers C．collections D．rules 10．A．photo B．square C．sunflower D．class 11．A．steadied B．froze C．ached D．sweated 12．A．conflicts B．competes C．agrees D．fits 13．A．joy B．luck C．patience D．fame 14．A．took shape B．took root C．died out D．faded away 15．A．status B．gender C．age D．ability Passage 3 The Mid-Autumn Festival is a happy time for a family gathering. But it was a different 1 after my parents and I came to America. I remember the first Mid-Autumn Festival we spent here. On that morning, I was happy to see mooncakes on the table. But then I 2 I had classes at 1:50 pm and felt 3 . You see, there’s a 4 in China for this special day but not in America. Noticing my upset, Mom tried to comfort me, “We have turkey at lunch, your favorite. Excited?” The turkey 5 me up. We had a delicious lunch, but before we 6 it was time for class. I had to put down my 7 and sat before my computer. I couldn’t help 8 that my Mid-Autumn Day was like this — having online classes with lunch half-eaten. I would never 9 this in the past. At the Mid-Autumn Gala, the scene of a family having dinner together made me 10 . I really missed my grandparents. Although we had 11 them in the day, it was different from a meeting. How regretful we couldn’t 12 ! At midnight, I got lost in thought. The day is so significant that I felt upset without a good 13 .

Never did she expect that a trip to West Bengal would 1 her view. There, she came across permaculture, a sustainable (可持续的) farming method, and 2 a lifestyle of eating fresh, chemical-free food, which made her 3 about the food quality in cities. The 4 was so powerful that Sneha became clear about her life goals. She wanted to do something that 5 her to nature. Sneha soon moved to Pune to follow her farming dream, 6 her film career. With her father’s 7 , Sneha studied permaculture. Together, they turned a piece of empty land near Pune into “BaapBeti Farms”, a growing farm with various 8 areas. The farm includes vegetable gardens, a chicken house, a workshop, and 9 farm stays. Guests can enjoy farm life, learn about natural farming, and 10 sustainable living through tours and hands-on activities. Sneha’s personal dream finally turned into a family 11 . Her father said with 12 that farming had brought him closer to nature. He also 13 from farm work and clean eating, losing 18 kilograms and balancing his blood sugar level. Through their efforts, Sneha and her father have not only built a successful farm but also a 14 that values a simple, chemical-free life.

When I tried to talk to him about how 3 life with two young boys is, his reply was short, “Little kids, 4 problems.” At the time, I felt a little angry. The 5 of raising my two boys didn’t feel little. I sometimes felt overwhelmed (不知所措的) by their problems and needs. Still, I knew how to fix them. I could calm my elder son down with his favourite CD and 6 him in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). Back then, “fixing their problems” seemed like my 7 . I did it every day. And, in general, I could fix most things that annoy them. Those boys are 24 and 22 now. And, 8 my grandfather said, their problems are bigger than they were 20 years ago. And one thing I’m 9 at this stage of parenting is how to be a mom who doesn’t help them. Worried about my elder son recently, I repeated my 10 to him, but he told me to stop — told me that I wasn’t being 11 and that I needed to let him be. Honestly, I miss the days when I felt so helpful. But I also feel 12 that I’ve raised an adult healthy enough to 13 his own life. And so, in a 14 reversal (互换), it is my son who now calms me down, 15 me and then smiles at me from his rear-view mirror. 1．A．dropped B．ate C．bought D．found 2．A．food B．money C．coffee D．help 3．A．boring B．interesting C．hard D．relaxing 4．A．big B．small C．new D．old 5．A．value B．advantage C．difficulty D．responsibility 6．A．laughed at B．smiled at C．pointed at D．shouted at 7．A．dream B．lesson C．choice D．job 8．A．once B．as C．if D．while 9．A．learning B．experiencing C．improving D．imagining 10．A．memories B．excuses C．warnings D．theories 11．A．helpful B．young C．intelligent D．powerful 12．A．regretful B．different C．shocked D．happy 13．A．judge B．manage C．save D．change 14．A．job B．history C．role D．time 15．A．accepts B．controls C．invites D．comforts 人与自然 Passage 1 Dr. Karen Sciascia has delivered thousands of babies.

Misty seemed to sense his 9 and gradually eased his fear with her unhurried grace. Decades later, it was Vincent that gently 10 her head and whispered comforting words while the team waited for a veterinarian (兽医) to arrive with calming medication. With patience, care, and steady 11 , the TLAER team moved Misty to safer and higher ground. Food and water provided, she was able to stand on her own soon. Vincent 12 at her side all the time.

She has started her own program to raise these gentle insects, which are listed 2 endangered wildlife. Last year, she successfully raised 27 butterflies in her backyard, and this year the final 3 has risen to 61 so far. Many people believe that natural ecosystems can keep balance by themselves. However, the continuous 4 in the Monarch population has become worrying, requiring timely human help. 5 , this elderly woman’s true love and hard work exactly fill this need. She is always ready to 6 endless care and patience to these weak winged creatures. The whole raising process is rather complex and very 7 , with several clear steps. At first, she carefully collects butterfly eggs from milkweed plants in her garden. She puts the tiny eggs in covered glass boxes indoors and waits 8 for them to develop. Four days later, small caterpillars come out; in a few weeks, they turn into quiet chrysalises (蛹). Finally, adult butterflies come out of their shells two weeks 9 . After they break out of their chrysalises, most butterflies are set free into nature to return to the wild. Surprisingly, a small number of them stay near her house, seeming 10 to leave the warm and safe home she has provided. When 11 how she started this meaningful activity, Devi said that she initially did it just to develop her grandchildren’s interest in environmental protection. She hoped the young would learn to respect and 12 all small lives. And through this long-term effort, she herself has gained the deepest joy and a sense of achievement. As a modest person, she seldom talks about her work with others. But now she decides to speak in public, hoping to 13 more people to care for and protect endangered species. Luckily, some of her family members have joined her in this warm 14 . We all look forward to a positive 15 in the falling number of Monarch butterflies in the near future. 1．A．young B．advanced C．middle D．early 2．A．by B．for C．with D．as 3．A．figure B．grade C．prize D．reward 4．A．spread B．rise C．gain D．drop 5．A．Generally B．Thankfully C．Gradually D．Apparently 6．A．devote B．share C．limit D．adapt 7．A．energy-saving B．money-wasting C．time-consuming D．labor-free 8．A．casually B．patiently C．anxiously D．silently 9．A．ahead B．earlier C．apart D．later 10．A．unable B．unlikely C．discouraged D．unwilling 11．A．complaining B．ignoring C．explaining D．doubting 12．A．ignore B．cherish C．check D．control 13．A．refer to B．turn down C．appeal to D．hold back 14．A．journey B．memory C．reminder D．relationship 15．A．change B．chance C．comment D．choice Passage 5 I went on a bird-watching hike in the South American rainforest to see some rare birds.

Our first assignment (作业;任务) was to write a response paper to an essay by Albert Camus. I entered college 1 to get a degree in engineering. I always liked the way mathematics had clear answers and was good at it. So when I received this, I was instantly nervous. Even more troubling was that the professor 2 to give any guidelines; he gave us total 3 . Full of anxiety, I read Camus’ essay many times but still felt unsure. Unlike math, there were no set answers here, and I was forced to 4 my own understanding. When I sat down to write, my notes and ideas were all 5 , but the words were lost. I tried various strategies but nothing seemed to work. 6 , after a lot of stress, my ideas became more organized and the words fell on the page. Still, I wondered if what I was saying made sense. Through all the 7 , I continued writing the best I could and turned it in, simply hoping for the best. Then came judgment day. The professor returned our papers with grades and 8 . He gave me an A, showing that my essay was 9 overall and that my reading of the essay was original. My relief and newfound 10 upon reading his comments could not be overstated. What I learned through this process 11 well beyond a college paper. I learned to be 12 to new challenges. I left engineering and became a lawyer. Philosophy helped me 13 courage to try a new career path. More importantly, I learned that education is not just a path to a career but a chance to 14 . Philosophy taught me the value of learning for its own sake, and this lesson continues to 15 my life every day. 1．A．intending B．assuming C．appealing D．promising 2．A．agreed B．volunteered C．refused D．hesitated 3．A．imagination B．freedom C．vision D．assessment 4．A．reflect on B．account for C．submit to D．figure out 5．A．present B．familiar C．unique D．practical 6．A．Evidently B．Eventually C．Occasionally D．Absolutely 7．A．joy B．passion C．uncertainty D．disappointment 8．A．recognition B．persuasion C．notes D．comments 9．A．brief B．effective C．unreal D．critical 10．A．confidence B．gratitude C．energy D．credit 11．A．expected B．connected C．extended D．revealed 12．A．open B．sensitive C．faithful D．subject 13．A．admire B．seek C．show D．develop 14．A．adapt B．grow C．understand D．succeed 15．A．transfer B．appreciate C．impact D．determine 【答案】 1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．A 6．B 7．C 8．D 9．B 10．A 11．C 12．A 13．D 14．B 15．C 【导语】文章讲述了作者大学第一堂哲学课改变了人生轨迹，从工程转向法律的故事。 1．考查动词。句意：我进入大学时打算获得工程学学位。 A. intending打算；B. assuming以为，设想；C. appealing呼吁；D. promising承诺。根据后文“I always liked the way mathematics had clear answers”可知，作者进入大学的意图是获得工程学学位。 2．考查动词。句意：更令人不安的是，教授拒绝提供任何指导，他给了我们完全的自由。 A. agreed同意；B. volunteered自愿；C. refused拒绝；D. hesitated犹豫。根据后文“he gave us total ________”可知，教授不给具体指导，让学生自由发挥，这是令作者担心的事情。 3．考查名词。句意：更令人不安的是，教授拒绝提供任何指导，他给了我们完全的自由。 A. imagination想象；B. freedom自由；C. vision愿景；D. assessment评估。根据前文的“Even more troubling was that the professor ________ to give any guidelines”可知，教授不给指导，等于给了学生完全的自由。 4．考查动词短语。句意：不像数学那样有固定答案，我被迫弄明白自己的理解。 A. reflect on反思；B. account for解释；C. submit to屈服于；D. figure out弄明白。根据前文“Unlike math, there were no set answers here”可知，哲学不像数学一样有确定的答案，所以哲学论文需要自己去思考弄明白，并得出结论。 5．考查形容词。句意：当我坐下来写作时，我的笔记和想法都在，但找不到合适的词语。 A. present存在的，在场；B. familiar熟悉的；C. unique独特的；D. practical实际的。 根据后文“but the words were lost”的转折可知，想法和笔记都有，只是找不到表达的词。present在此表示想法都在脑海里，但无法表达出来。 6．考查副词。句意：最终，经过很多压力，我的思路变得更有条理，文字落在纸上。 A.

One might 1 that it comes from my interests in culture or travel, but the real 2 came from a personal experience. During my early university years, I was eager to 3 about people from different backgrounds. Growing up in a rather 4 town, I had little exposure to diverse cultures until I entered university. Whenever I 5 someone from another country, I would learn a few phrases in their language. Even a simple 6 often created an instant touch and brought a smile. That 7 caused a deeper insight during a trip to Italy. One evening, I was sitting at a square in Catania with a group of Europeans. Among us was a 8 from South America who spoke only Spanish. No one else at the table knew the language, and I could 9 only a few basic phrases. He wanted to join the conversation but had to rely on 10 . When it finally became clear that it was his birthday, I 11 I couldn’t help him express himself.

Four days later, small caterpillars come out; in a few weeks, they turn into quiet chrysalises (蛹). Finally, adult butterflies come out of their shells two weeks 9 .
