Passage 1
I am always an outgoing, loving, and disabled person. I 1 remove “disabled” from that sentence. That was because I never truly 2 it with ease, let alone acknowledged it with pride.
I realized at the age of 16 that I constantly feared being 3 because of my disability, so I compensated (补偿) for it by constantly acting gregarious (合群的) and 4 to those around me, just to fill that hole of 5 . My Hemiplegia (偏瘫) 6 my right hand significantly. I constantly felt that to be accepted, I had to 7 myself from the disabled community, even though they would be able to 8 me. When asked about my hand, I would often tell silly 9 like “a dinosaur bit it.”
One day, my mother 10 me up for EmpowHer Camp, a yearlong program for disabled 11 . I didn’t know what to do with myself. Through many tears and difficulties there, I finally learned that 12 my disability was never the best choice, because my disability is a part of me.

The moment I accepted my disability was one of the most freeing 14 in the world, and that is a part of the 15 we should all share.

Passage 3
It started like any normal day. My partner, Stewart, helped me out of bed. I 1 on my crutches (拐杖) as I made my way to the car, slowly and 2 . All of a sudden, I 3 my footing and fell.
Not for the first time, Stewart was caught between 4 and anxiety. Wasn’t it time, he asked, for me to consider using a wheelchair? Once again, I 5 the suggestion.
Since I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (类风湿关节炎) in my 20s, every movement has become increasingly challenging. I, however, was determined to stay on my feet — to still be a “walking person”. Gradually, walking 6 became impossible. The morning after my 7 , the truth of what Stewart had been saying 8 me: trying to stay on my feet was disabling me further. My opinion 9 . At 46, I started using the wheelchair.
However, being more 10 disabled has brought unexpected silver linings. People around me are warm and kind, and I often feel as if I am witnessing the very best of human 11 .
Now, when I look at the wheelchair, I see the mark left by myself on it, how its shape has 12 me, and mine to it, and I feel greater 13 : it is a part of me now.

Passage 4
During my junior year of high school, I wanted to get involved and make a difference in my community. I chose to spend my summer 1 at a non-profit organization called “Cradles to Crayons”. This organization provides children living in low-income families with 2 things like clothing and school supplies to support their growth and daily life. From the very beginning, I hoped my time there would 3 .
On my first day, I felt a bit 4 . I didn’t know if my small 5 would truly help anyone. However, as I began sorting through donated shoes, I noticed the 6 of the full-time workers. They weren’t forced to wear a smile, but they did anyway. Their 7 was powerful. It made me realize that helping others isn’t just a 8 ; it’s a source of happiness.
One afternoon, I helped a young mother 9 a backpack for her son’s first day of school. When she saw the 10 supplies inside, her eyes filled with tears. She thanked me for the 11 , but I felt like I was the one who had 12 something.

Passage 5
My father grew up in Chicago and loved the local team Cubs (小熊球队) his whole life. I loved my dad, so the Cubs 1 me too. When I went back home after school or work, I always watched the Cubs with him. Two decades after my father’s 2 , every time I watch the Cubs on television, I think of him and 3 with him in my head about their game.
Perhaps baseball is too 4 a thing for father and son to connect over. A ball game might seem sort of 5 compared with significant family and career concerns. But that is 6 what makes it ideal for forming relationships. Actually, we 7 nothing as we watched them play, except for the 8 of enjoying the games together as father and son, which was much greater than it would have been, if either of us had 9 without the other. The Cubs were the “place” where we met to enjoy being 10 .
Lots of sports fans have similar 11 . Sportswriters find that forty two percent of sports fans were “very 12 ” with their family life, compared with less than a quarter of non-fans.

I did know that it was quite 8 outside and the hitchhiker was very happy to be able to get a lift in our warm car.
We drove another forty-five minutes and learned that the hitchhiker was 9 many difficulties in life. Dad told him to keep his head up and said that things would become better for him soon. Dad reached into his pocket and 10 the hitchhiker a twenty-dollar bill, leaving only a ten-dollar bill for himself. The hitchhiker then became very 11 .
I was always told never to 12 a hitchhike rand yet my dad did it every time he saw one. Dad always gave them money 13 he did not have very much of his own.

But as they grew older, jealousy appeared, casting a 2 over their friendship. Sarah seemed to be 3 excellent in every aspect of life, while Emily 4 to find her place in the world.

Years passed, and the rift (不和) between them seemed impossible to 7 . But a chance encounter at a cafe brought them together once more, their eyes meeting across the room, filled with a mixture of 8 and longing.
Unable to ignore the 9 of their shared past, they tried to reach out to each other, their words hesitant yet filled with a longing for forgiveness.

Passage 1

One summer, a severe hurricane warning was issued. While others rushed to buy supplies, my father 2 our neighbors’ yards to help move container 3 indoors. I asked why he wasted time on such small things. He smiled, “These plants may seem 4 , but to Mrs. Johnson, they’re memories of her late husband.”
The storm hit hard that night. The next morning, our street was 5 with fallen branches. To my surprise, Mrs. Johnson came out with homemade cookies, 6 everyone who helped. Her gratitude taught me that kindness 7 even in a mess.
Years later, I became a meteorologist (气象学家). During a conference, I shared this story to explain why we should 8 not just weather data, but also how people 9 to disasters. A colleague sighed, “Scientists often focus on big 10 but it’s the personal stories that inspire action.”
Now, I always include “small action tips” in my reports, like 11 a tree or checking on elderly neighbors. These suggestions seem small, but they 12 a chain reaction of community care. After a recent flood, a photo went viral online: a child building a sandbag wall with the 13 , “I learned this from a weather report!”

In the summer of 1960, a 26-year-old woman set foot on the land of Tanzania. Armed with nothing but a notebook and curiosity, Jane Goodall set out on a journey that would 1 our understanding of human being’s closest living 2 —chimpanzees (黑猩猩).
Goodall had no university degree, no 3 training and was entering a male-dominated field. Different from 4 approaches, she gave the chimpanzees 5 instead of numbers, such as Fifi, Lola. By recognizing chimpanzees as 6 with distinct personalities, Goodall introduced a ground-breaking perspective—one that 7 the idea of treating animals as mere research data and instead focused on their distinct behaviors—that would 8 our take on animal awareness and behavior.
On November 4,1960, Goodall 9 a chimpanzee she named David carefully select a grass stem (茎), remove the leaves, and stick it into the ants nest to 10 ants. David was making and using a tool, a skill considered a 11 human ability. Goodall’s discovery was the first to bridge what was once considered a 12 between humans and other animals, forever changing our place in the natural world.
In 1986, Goodall attended a meeting in Chicago, which opened her eyes to the striking 13 of chimpanzee populations due to human activities. She came to the meeting “as a scientist but left as a conservation 14 .” She appealed to the world to protect these beautiful creatures. She has been considered as one of the world’s most 15 conservation advocates, and the Jane Goodall Institute now operates in more than 30 countries.

Passage 4
I came to Big Bend National Park, Texas, for the peacefulness and the hope of 1 a black bear. By our arrival, the sun was already setting. 2 to get in a hike before dark, we set off on the popular Lost Mine Trail.
3 Big Bend’s large size, it’s one of the national parks with the smallest number of visitors in the USA and you can hike for hours without seeing a 4 .
I was enjoying the scenery 5 I noticed something moving across the path ahead. Suddenly, one ran straight towards me. Had my friend not 6 a warning, I might have stepped right on it. I 7 as a tarantula(狼蛛) hurried past my boot, then looked around to find we were 8 by hundreds.
These Texas brown tarantulas are usually reclusive (隐居的), but the males were on an once-in-a-lifetime 9 : finding a mate. Each autumn, they cross Big Bend, 10 miles tirelessly in search of females. Although they have scary size, they are 11 to humans, preferring to back away rather than bite.
I bent down to watch them closely, fascinated by their movements, lifting each leg as if testing the ground before their next step. Their hair helps them detect 12 and get around their surroundings. The more I watched, the less 13 they became.
By the hike’s end, I had gone from shocked to amazed, 14 the patience and perseverance of these seemingly evil creatures, and thrilling at the 15 spider sight.

Passage 5
I am a country music singer. Although I love animals, I didn’t have a pet for several years due to all of the traveling that comes with performing.
Along came Audrey. A friend had re-posted an “Urgent Foster needed” notice from a local 1 . Audrey had been found in an 2 house in Texas with a spinal injury and both of her back feet severed. She was bleeding, had no food or water, and was riddled with infection. Audrey’s face stopped me 3 in my tracks, and I knew that I had to take her in. The next day Audrey was dropped over at my house.
No matter what I did, Audrey’s stumps (残肢) remained 4 with wounds and infections for close to two and a half years. After six painful surgeries, five different sets of prosthetic (假体) legs, years in a wheelchair, and so much heartache, she was finally ready to try 5 . Adjusting to her new legs was 6 for Audrey, but she prevailed (战胜) anyway. Finally, an experimental fish skin graft healed her legs for good.
7 , Audrey’s spinal injury left her incontinent (失禁的), and she requires diapers, so I’ve gone from carrying 8 to carrying a diaper bag and crib for my dog. Before each 9 , I can usually be seen changing her diaper backstage. I have really 10 my life to her care.
Caring for Audrey truly changed my life. She taught me 11 and unconditional love and that you give your time, energy and resources to others because it makes you feel good, not because you deserve or wish for something. 12 I am a better person because of Audrey, and I look at the world in a very different 13 . Her 14 spirit has inspired me not only in my life but also in my music. Every time I step onto the stage, I know I carry a piece of her 15 with me.

Passage 1
I am always an outgoing, loving, and disabled person. I 1 remove “disabled” from that sentence. That was because I never truly 2 it with ease, let alone acknowledged it with pride.
I realized at the age of 16 that I constantly feared being 3 because of my disability, so I compensated (补偿) for it by constantly acting gregarious (合群的) and 4 to those around me, just to fill that hole of 5 . My Hemiplegia (偏瘫) 6 my right hand significantly. I constantly felt that to be accepted, I had to 7 myself from the disabled community, even though they would be able to 8 me. When asked about my hand, I would often tell silly 9 like “a dinosaur bit it.”
One day, my mother 10 me up for EmpowHer Camp, a yearlong program for disabled 11 . I didn’t know what to do with myself. Through many tears and difficulties there, I finally learned that 12 my disability was never the best choice, because my disability is a part of me.
Even though I’m still struggling with myself about how to accept my disability, I’ve learned that disabilities are nothing to be 13 of, and I shouldn’t use my outgoing personality to hide my disability. The moment I accepted my disability was one of the most freeing 14 in the world, and that is a part of the 15 we should all share.

【导语】文章讲述作者身患偏瘫,曾因自卑刻意回避、掩饰自身残疾,靠外向性格伪装自己,后参加专为残疾女孩开设的成长营,逐渐明白不必为残疾感到羞愧,学会接纳自我、懂得自爱。
1.考查动词短语。句意:我过去总是刻意把“残疾”这个词从那句话中删掉。A. took to开始喜欢;B. got to得以;C. had to不得不;D. used to过去常常。根据后文“I shouldn’t use my outgoing personality to hide my disability.”可知,作者现在意识到自己不该隐藏残疾,因此是过去总是把“残疾”这个词刻意删除。
2.考查动词。句意:那是因为我从来都无法坦然地真正接受自己的残疾,更谈不上自豪地正视它。A. accepted接受;B. handled处理;C. performed表演;D. completed完成。根据后文“let alone acknowledged it with pride.”可知,后半句提到“更别说骄傲地承认它”,对应前半句“我从来没能轻松接受它”。

4.考查形容词。句意:我在十六岁时意识到,自己一直害怕因为身体残疾而被他人拒绝,于是我便时常表现得合群、待人友善,以此来填补内心恐惧的空洞。A. lively活泼的;B. likely可能的;C. friendly友好的;D. orderly有条理的。根据空前的“so I compensated for it by constantly acting gregarious and”可知,空处和gregarious并列,都是作者为了获得他人认可刻意表现的特质,friendly符合逻辑。

7.考查动词。句意:我一直觉得,想要被正常人接纳,我就必须把自己和残疾群体隔离开来,即使他们本能够理解和认可我。A. separate分开;B. protect保护;C. release释放;D. escape逃离。separate…from…是固定搭配,意为“把……和……分开”,作者不愿承认自己残疾,因此想要把自己和残疾人群区分开。
8.考查动词。句意:我一直觉得,想要被正常人接纳,我就必须把自己和残疾群体隔离开来,即使他们本能够理解和认可我。A. impact影响;B. change改变;C. admire钦佩;D. appreciate理解。根据空前的“even though they would be able to”可知,同是残疾人,本能够理解、认可作者的处境,appreciate在此处表示“理解、认可”,符合逻辑。

14.考查名词。句意:接纳自己残疾的那一刻,是我人生中最释然自在的经历之一,而那也是我们每个人都应拥有的自爱的一部分。A. minds思想;B. voices声音;C. spirits精神;D. experiences经历。根据空前的“The moment I accepted my disability was one of the most freeing”并结合全文可知,作者通过参加成长营,明白要接受自己的残疾,而接受的时刻是让作者感到最释然自在的经历之一。

Passage 5
I am a country music singer. Although I love animals, I didn’t have a pet for several years due to all of the traveling that comes with performing.
Along came Audrey. A friend had re-posted an “Urgent Foster needed” notice from a local 1 . Audrey had been found in an 2 house in Texas with a spinal injury and both of her back feet severed. She was bleeding, had no food or water, and was riddled with infection. Audrey’s face stopped me 3 in my tracks, and I knew that I had to take her in. The next day Audrey was dropped over at my house.
No matter what I did, Audrey’s stumps (残肢) remained 4 with wounds and infections for close to two and a half years. After six painful surgeries, five different sets of prosthetic (假体) legs, years in a wheelchair, and so much heartache, she was finally ready to try 5 . Adjusting to her new legs was 6 for Audrey, but she prevailed (战胜) anyway. Finally, an experimental fish skin graft healed her legs for good.
7 , Audrey’s spinal injury left her incontinent (失禁的), and she requires diapers, so I’ve gone from carrying 8 to carrying a diaper bag and crib for my dog. Before each 9 , I can usually be seen changing her diaper backstage. I have really 10 my life to her care.
Caring for Audrey truly changed my life. She taught me 11 and unconditional love and that you give your time, energy and resources to others because it makes you feel good, not because you deserve or wish for something. 12 I am a better person because of Audrey, and I look at the world in a very different 13 . Her 14 spirit has inspired me not only in my life but also in my music. Every time I step onto the stage, I know I carry a piece of her 15 with me.
