There is a young painter named Zhou Xi. She loves to 1 every corner of her paintings with bright colors and detailed designs. It is 2 she thinks more is better. One day, she 3 an old master painter. The master shows her a beautiful landscape painting. Zhou is 4 to see half of the paper is empty—only a few birds 5 in the clear sky, and a small boat is on the quiet water.
“Why did you leave (留下) so much space (空间) blank (空白)?” Zhou asks.
The master smiles and says, “Look again. Does the 6 part make you feel calm?” Zhou Xi looks at the painting carefully. The blank space looks like a wide 7 . The birds are flying in it freely. Suddenly, she feels she can take in fresh air more easily.
“Life is like this painting,” the master says. “If we try to fill every moment with work, study or plans, we’ll feel 8 . Leave some ‘blank space’—time to rest and 9 so that we can enjoy quietness and let our hearts ‘rest’. Just as the empty sky in the painting makes the flying birds look freer, empty 10 in life make us more relaxed.”
Zhou agrees. She begins to know that it is a good 11 to leave space for nothing. So she starts to paint with more “blank space” in her works. Sometimes she draws a lonely mountain with empty air around it; sometimes she leaves a corner of the paper empty. When people look at her paintings, they feel 12 and think a lot.
Just as a painter needs to leave blank space for 13 , we need to leave time in life for rest and thinking. Don’t fill every minute with much work— 14 ourselves to be “empty” sometimes. That’s when we can truly see the beauty of peace and find happiness in the 15 moments. Let’s have a try.

In a small neighbourhood in Nanjing, there’s a special “Help Desk” at the community gate. It’s run by a group of 1 who want to help their neighbours. The desk opens every afternoon after school and on weekends.
Mr Zhao, a 65-year-old retired teacher, is one of the volunteers. He often helps kids with their 2 . “Many parents are busy working,” he says. “I want to 3 them a hand so that the kids can learn better.” Ms Chen, a young nurse, looks after the 4 of the old people. She takes their blood pressure (血压) for free and gives them 5 on keeping healthy.
There’s also a “Fix-it Corner” next to the Help Desk. Mr Liu, a former engineer, 6 broken bikes, radios and even laptops for neighbours all for free. “I’m not doing anything special,” he smiles. “Just using my skills to help others makes me 7 .”
Last month, a heavy rain broke many 8 in the neighbourhood. The volunteers quickly organized a team to repair them. They bought glass and tools with their own money and worked until late at night. The next morning, all windows were fixed. The neighbours were very 9 .
What makes this neighbourhood so 10 ? It’s the friendship between people. Everyone 11 each other and is happy to give help. The volunteers say they will keep the Help Desk running, and they hope more young people will 12 them.
“We want to make our neighbourhood a better place to live,” says Mr Zhao. “A friendly community doesn’t happen by accident. It 13 everyone’s effort.”
Now, more and more people in the neighbourhood join the volunteer team. Some college students help clean the park every weekend. Some teenagers visit the old people’s homes to 14 for them. Even little kids give their old toys to children in need.

That morning, we 1 a cab following Sir Henry and Dr. Mortimer in London. But who?
We went to Sir Henry’s hotel. Holmes asked Dr. Mortimer if anyone 2 a black beard lived in or near Baskerville Hall. “Yes.” said Dr.Mortimer, “Barrymore.”
“We must send a telegram to 3 whether Barrymore is in London or at Baskerville Hall,” said Holmes. Sir Henry said he wanted to go to Baskerville Hall.
“OK,” said Holmes. “But you 4 go alone. Watson can go with you” Sir Henry and I agreed to take the 10.30 train on Saturday.
Holmes thought deeply on the way home: the story of the hound, sir Charles's death, the strange letter, the 5 boot and the black-bearded man. He sat in his room all afternoon, 6 and thinking.
Just before dinner, a 7 arrived. It said, “Barrymore is at Baskerville Hall.”
“That becomes a dead end, Watson. We will have to look for 8 way to go forward.”
Just then the door bell rang. It was the 9 driver who drove the man with the black beard. “I got a 10 that you are asking for me,” he said. “I’ve never had a complaint. I came here to ask you what you had against me!”
“No, no,” said Holmes. “ 11 , I’ll give you money if you tell me about the man in your cab this morning. He watched this house at 10:00 and then told you to follow the two gentlemen.” The driver looked 12 and then answered, “The man said he was a detective (侦探) and that I shouldn’t tell anyone about him.”
“It’s serious, my friend, and you may be in 13 if you refuse to answer.” “His name,” said the driver, “was Sherlock Holmes.”
I’d never seen Holmes more surprised. Then he laughed. “He scored against me that time, Watson.” The driver told us 14 he knew. Holmes gave him the 15 and sent him away.
“This is a dangerous enemy (敌人), Watson.”

When my brother and I were children, we spent a few weeks each summer in the countryside with our 1 . He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to 2 stones to add to his collection at the university.
One day our uncle gave us two 3 and asked us to help him carry the stones. The whole day, we walked 4 the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a little surprised 5 sometimes he also took some stones out of our bags. We thought he had just found better ones.

“Why did you give us so many stones?” we asked.
“I didn’t. You did,” he said, waiting for a while before continuing. “You did not know it, but I gave you a little attitude test today. And whenever you 8 something bad about anyone or anything, I put a stone in your bags.” And whenever you talked about something positively (乐观地), I 9 a stone. And now look at your bags.
The bags were 10 full.
He added, “Your negative thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your 11 just like those stones in a bag. The more negative thoughts you have, the 12 your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and 13 you talk about things.” This little 14 was the most important one I had ever had.

Do you know what a secondhand shop is? Have you visited one? For me, 1 is more pleasant than finding hidden gems (珍宝) in secondhand shops. After all, one person’s waste is 2 person’s treasure.
Years ago, I came across a collection of dusty 3 with broken edges. They recorded people’s faces and beautiful moments. I thought: 4 these were mine, I would want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do the same for others. Since then, I’ve visited secondhand shops weekly and have collected more than 50,000 of these items, such as photos, home movies and photo albums.

We once 7 to reunite a family with pictures from 1943, which was really special. I found a bottle at a shop in New York and there were two rolls of film in it.

We 9 them and they were sure that their ancestors were in the photographs, and I sent them their pictures. They were very thankful and said that a family member had recently moved out of New York. Maybe that is 10 the film ended up at a secondhand store.

I want to inspire people to keep their own family history and important items so that they don’t end up getting 13 . Many people have told me this project has helped them feel more connected (连接的) to their 14 . It’s not 15 about returning photos. It’s about building bridges between people and their memories.

If you look down at the Namib Desert (纳米布沙漠), you’ll see something 1 . There are circles in the sand 2 grasses around them. The local people 3 these “fairy circles (仙女圈)”. But who made them? And why?
The fairy circles are in a narrow (狭窄的) 4 of the desert. Some are very big, almost 40 feet across. Some are small, about 6 feet across. And they all have grasses around them. It’s really 5 .
The local Himba (辛巴族) people think their ancestors (祖先) 6 the fairy circles. 7 this idea isn’t right according to science. So scientists start to 8 the real answer. In a new study, 9 think they might know the mystery of the fairy circles—termites (白蚁). The termites live underground. But they are different from 10 termites. They don’t build mounds.
Scientists think the termites 11 the roots of the grasses and make the grasses die. When it rains, the water goes 12 into the soil (土壤). So there is water in these places where grasses grow around.
If you think the termites 13 the desert, you’re wrong. The termites are actually making the desert greener. How? In the places where the termites live, the soil is porous (多孔的) and sandy (含沙的). So water can go 14 the desert easily. In this way, plants outside the circles are growing.
The termites and the fairy circles are good for the Himba people. They let their cattle (牛), goats, and sheep eat the grasses. They 15 use the inside of the circles to keep the animals at night.

My dad had traveled many miles to visit me. Dad stayed a month and I was busy in the library for those weeks. He liked to 1 my dog, Dustin. I always reminded him to lock all the doors before he left. I did not tell him that the two young men next 2 were troublemakers. They had been known to throw their mother out of the front door, steal her money.
I got home one 3 Tuesday, worried that my dad might feel too hot on his walk, but, no, he was 4 than usual. His eighty-year-old face shone with excitement. “You’ll 5 guess what happened to me today,” he said. “It could have been unlucky, but it worked out 6 . I locked myself out,”
“Oh, Dad, you should have called 7 ” I said.
“I didn’t take the phone with me,” he went on. “I was 8 because by the time we got home, Dustin was really thirsty. Luckily, those 9 young men from next door helped me get 10 ”
I almost got up from my chair to 11 the gold and my jewelry box. Dad always left a pile of dollars and coins 12 the table in the bedroom and that door was wide open. I noticed that the 13 was still there.
“After we got in, I gave the dog a 14 , then I made a pot of tea. Those young men and I sat and talked for a bit here in the kitchen.”
I later found 15 missing from my house. Dad was pleased that he had solved the problem. The remaining time of Dad’s vacation went quickly. Many times I went out in the yard to watch him chatting with his new friends. The locked door wasn’t the only thing opened that day.

There is a young painter named Zhou Xi. She loves to 1 every corner of her paintings with bright colors and detailed designs. It is 2 she thinks more is better. One day, she 3 an old master painter. The master shows her a beautiful landscape painting. Zhou is 4 to see half of the paper is empty—only a few birds 5 in the clear sky, and a small boat is on the quiet water.
“Why did you leave (留下) so much space (空间) blank (空白)?” Zhou asks.
The master smiles and says, “Look again. Does the 6 part make you feel calm?” Zhou Xi looks at the painting carefully. The blank space looks like a wide 7 . The birds are flying in it freely. Suddenly, she feels she can take in fresh air more easily.
“Life is like this painting,” the master says. “If we try to fill every moment with work, study or plans, we’ll feel 8 . Leave some ‘blank space’—time to rest and 9 so that we can enjoy quietness and let our hearts ‘rest’. Just as the empty sky in the painting makes the flying birds look freer, empty 10 in life make us more relaxed.”
Zhou agrees. She begins to know that it is a good 11 to leave space for nothing. So she starts to paint with more “blank space” in her works. Sometimes she draws a lonely mountain with empty air around it; sometimes she leaves a corner of the paper empty. When people look at her paintings, they feel 12 and think a lot.
Just as a painter needs to leave blank space for 13 , we need to leave time in life for rest and thinking. Don’t fill every minute with much work— 14 ourselves to be “empty” sometimes. That’s when we can truly see the beauty of peace and find happiness in the 15 moments. Let’s have a try.

【导语】本文讲述年轻画家周夕向老大师学习绘画留白的故事,感悟到生活也需要留白,适当休息和思考才能发现平静之美。
1.句意:她喜欢用明亮的色彩和细致的设计填满画作的每个角落。
根据“loves to”后接动词原形,且后文提到“more is better”,可知此处指fill“填满”。full“满的”,是形容词,不符合语法。feel“感觉”;fix“修理”,语意不通。
2.句意:这是因为她认为越多越好。
根据前文行为解释原因,“It is because...”是常用句型,表示原因。
3.句意:一天,她拜访了一位老画师。
根据后文大师展示画作给她看,可知是去visits“拜访”求教。remembers“记得”;misses“想念”;watches“观看”均不符。
4.句意:周惊讶地发现一半的纸是空的。
根据前文“…every corner”与此处“to see half of the paper was empty”形成的反差可知,她对此感到意外。故用surprised“惊讶的”。sad“难过的”;unhappy“不开心的”;joyful“快乐的”均不符。
5.句意:只有几只鸟在晴朗的天空中飞翔。
根据“in the clear sky”及后文“The birds are flying in it freely.”可知,鸟在天空中通常是“飞翔”。故用fly“飞”。
6.句意:空白部分让你感到平静吗?
根据前文“leave... space blank”可知,上文提到画的一半是空白的,老画家引导她思考空白部分带来的感受,故用empty“空的”。
7.句意:空白处看起来像广阔的天空。
根据前文“in the clear sky”(在晴朗的天空中)可知,空白处像天空,故用sky“天空”。
8.句意:如果我们试图用工作、学习或计划填满每一刻,我们会感到疲倦。
根据前文“If we try to fill every moment with work, study or plans”以及后文提倡“time to rest”的语境可知,过度忙碌会使人劳累,故用tired“疲倦的”。happy“快乐的”;excited“兴奋的”;quiet“安静的”,均不符。
9.句意:留出一些“空白”——休息和思考的时间,以便我们享受宁静,让心灵“休息”。
根据前文“time to rest”以及后文“we need to leave time in life for rest and thinking.”可知,此处指身心的放松与思考。故选用think表示“思考”。
10.句意:正如画中空旷的天空让飞翔的鸟儿看起来更自由,生活中空白的时刻让我们更放松。
根据前文“fill every moment”以及本句“empty…in life make us more relaxed.”的语境呼应可知,此处指代时间段中的瞬间。故用moments“时刻”。
11.句意:她开始明白,留白是一个好主意。
根据前文“Zhou nodded.”以及后文“So she started to paint with more ‘blank space’”可知,周夕接受并认可了老画师的这种观点,认为这是一个好想法。故用idea“主意”。
12.句意:当人们看她的画时,他们感到平静并思考很多。
根据前文大师说的“Does the...feel calm?”可知,此处效果一致,表示感到calm“平静”。
13.句意:正如画家需要留白来创造美一样,我们需要在生活中留出时间来休息和思考。
根据“leave blank space for…”可知,此处指代留白的目的。结合下文“see the beauty of peace”以及绘画常识可知,画家在画作中留白是为了追求构图上的艺术美感。故选用beauty表示“美,美感”。
14.句意:不要用大量工作填满每一分钟——允许自己有时“空着”。
此处表示允许自己留出空白时间,故用allow“允许”。agree“同意”;arrive“到达”;attract“吸引”,均不符。
15.句意:那时我们才能真正看到宁静的美,并在安静的时刻找到快乐。
与“peace”(宁静)呼应,空白留出的应是安静的时刻,故用quiet“安静的”。

There was a time when Whitney didn’t have a lot of friends. She was a bit 1 . She never really wanted to be popular, 2 she wanted to have someone to share secrets with and laugh with. All through high school, 3 , she just had “light” friendships.
When Whitney went to college, she was quite 4 . She was going to be living with 5 new in the same room and in a town far away. She had no idea 6 she was going to make friends in this new environment.
In the first week of classes, something happened that changed her 7 forever. In her English writing class, she was asked to share a little 8 herself. She told everyone where she came from and other details that students 9 share in such situations. The final question for each student was: “What is your goal for this 10 ?” Lots of students said it was to 11 a good grade or something similar, but Whitney said something 12 . She said that her goal was to make one good friend.
While 13 of the students sat in silence, one student came to Whitney and held out his hand and introduced himself. He asked if she would be his friend. The whole room was silent— all eyes were on Whitney and the hand was just 14 her. She smiled and stretched her hand out to take 15 . It was a friendship that lasted all through college and their lives.

【导语】本文讲述惠特尼高中时害羞朋友少,大学时在英语课上因真诚的目标收获了一位终身好友的感人故事。
1.句意:她有点害羞。
根据前文“didn’t have a lot of friends”及后文不想受欢迎,可知她性格内向,shy符合语境。happy“快乐的”、outgoing“外向的”、active“活跃的”与语境不符。
2.句意:她从未真的想受欢迎,但她想有人分享秘密和欢笑。
前后句意存在转折关系,使用but表示“不想受欢迎却想要知己”。and“和”、or“或者”、so“所以”逻辑不通。
3.句意:然而,整个高中她只有“浅交”。
前文想交朋友,此处事实相反,表转折,对应however。otherwise“否则”、because“因为”、besides“此外”无转折之意。
4.句意:当惠特尼上大学时,她相当担心。
根据后文住陌生房间、不知如何交友,可知是担心的,worried符合语境。excited“兴奋的”、relaxed“放松的”、happy“快乐的”与担忧语境矛盾。
5.句意:她将要在一个遥远的镇上和某个新人住在同一房间。
肯定句中指代不确定的某个人用someone。anyone“任何人”、everyone“每个人”、nobody“没人”不符合语法或句意。
6.句意:她不知道将如何在这个新环境交朋友。
此处表示交友的方式方法,使用how,表示方式,符合询问交友方法的语境。what“什么”、when“何时”、where“哪里”不符合逻辑。
7.句意:开学第一周,某事永远改变了她的人生。
根据后文友谊持续一生,可知改变了人生轨迹,对应life。study“学习”、work“工作”、class“班级”范围太窄。
8.句意:在她的英语写作课上,她被要求分享一点关于她自己的事。
share about oneself为固定搭配,表示分享关于自己的事,符合语境。with“和”、to“到”、for“为”搭配不当。
9.句意:她告诉大家她来自哪里以及学生在这种场合通常会分享的其他细节。
介绍家乡等是常规操作,usually符合常规分享内容。always“总是”太绝对,seldom“很少”、never“从不”语义不符。
10.句意:你这门课的目标是什么?
语境发生在英语写作课上,老师问课程目标,class符合语境。family“家庭”、school“学校”、grade“成绩”不符合场景。
11.句意:许多学生都说这是为了取得好成绩之类的,但惠特尼却说的不一样。
get a good grade是固定搭配,表示“取得好成绩”。make“制作”、buy“买”、collect“收集”搭配不当。
12.句意:许多学生都说这是为了取得好成绩之类的,但惠特尼却说的不一样。
别人说成绩,她说交友,内容不同,different符合语义。difficult“困难的”、easy“容易的”、same“相同的”与对比语境不符。
13.句意:当大多数学生沉默时,一个学生走向惠特尼,伸出他的手并自我介绍。
此处表达“大多数沉默,只有一位男生上前“,most与“one”形成对比,突出那一个学生。all“所有”、some“一些”、none“没有一个”数量逻辑错误。
14.句意:全班安静下来,所有人盯着惠特尼,那只手就在她面前。
伸手握手,手应在对方前方,对应in front of。next to“旁边”、close to“靠近”、behind“后面”不符合握手动作逻辑。
15.句意:她笑着伸出手,握住了他的手。
此处his是名词性物主代词,指代his hand。him“他”、her“她的”、hers“她的”代词使用错误或指代对象错误。
In a small neighbourhood in Nanjing, there’s a special “Help Desk” at the community gate. It’s run by a group of 1 who want to help their neighbours. The desk opens every afternoon after school and on weekends.
Mr Zhao, a 65-year-old retired teacher, is one of the volunteers. He often helps kids with their 2 . “Many parents are busy working,” he says. “I want to 3 them a hand so that the kids can learn better.” Ms Chen, a young nurse, looks after the 4 of the old people. She takes their blood pressure (血压) for free and gives them 5 on keeping healthy.
There’s also a “Fix-it Corner” next to the Help Desk. Mr Liu, a former engineer, 6 broken bikes, radios and even laptops for neighbours all for free. “I’m not doing anything special,” he smiles. “Just using my skills to help others makes me 7 .”
Last month, a heavy rain broke many 8 in the neighbourhood. The volunteers quickly organized a team to repair them. They bought glass and tools with their own money and worked until late at night. The next morning, all windows were fixed. The neighbours were very 9 .
What makes this neighbourhood so 10 ? It’s the friendship between people. Everyone 11 each other and is happy to give help. The volunteers say they will keep the Help Desk running, and they hope more young people will 12 them.
“We want to make our neighbourhood a better place to live,” says Mr Zhao. “A friendly community doesn’t happen by accident. It 13 everyone’s effort.”
Now, more and more people in the neighbourhood join the volunteer team. Some college students help clean the park every weekend. Some teenagers visit the old people’s homes to 14 for them. Even little kids give their old toys to children in need.
This neighbourhood shows that “Close 15 are better than distant relatives.” When people help each other, life becomes warmer and more meaningful.

There was once a young painter named Zhou Xi. She loved to 1 every corner of her paintings with bright colors and detailed designs. It was 2 she thought more was better. One day, she 3 an old master painter. The master showed her a beautiful landscape painting. Zhou was 4 to see half of the paper was empty—only a few birds 5 in the clear sky, and a small boat floated on the calm water.
“Why did you leave so much space blank?” Zhou asked.
The master smiled and said, “Look again. Does the 6 part make you feel peaceful?” Zhou Xi looked at the painting carefully. The blank space did look like a wide 7 . The birds were flying in it freely. Suddenly, she felt as if she could breathe more easily.
“Life is like this painting,” the master said. “If we try to fill every moment with work, study or plans, we’ll feel 8 . Leave some ‘blank space’—time to rest and 9 so that we can enjoy quietness and let our hearts ‘breathe’. Just as the empty sky in the painting makes the flying birds look freer, empty 10 in life make us more relaxed.”
Zhou nodded. She began to know that leaving room for nothing was a good 11 . So she started to paint with more “blank space” in her works. Sometimes she drew a lonely mountain with empty air around it; sometimes she left a corner of the paper empty. When people looked at her paintings, they felt 12 and thought a lot.
Just as a painter needs to leave blank space for 13 , we need to leave time in life for rest and thinking. Don’t fill every minute with busyness— 14 ourselves “empty” sometimes. That’s when we can truly see the beauty of peace and find happiness in the 15 moments. Let’s have a try.

【导语】本文主要讲述了年轻画家周夕通过向一位老画师学习绘画中的“留白”艺术,领悟到生活中也需要留出休息和思考的时间,从而活得更加轻松、平静和幸福的道理。
1.句意:她喜欢用鲜艳的色彩和精细的设计填满画作的每一个角落。
根据空后“every corner of her paintings with bright colors”以及后文“she thought more was better”可知,她以前的风格是把画面全部占满。故选用fill表示“填满”。
2.句意:因为她认为越多越好。
根据前文“She loved to…every corner…”以及空后“she thought more was better”可知,空后内容是对前文她为何喜欢填满画作的原因解释。故选用because表示“因为”。
3.句意:有一天,她拜访了一位老画家大师。
根据后文“The master showed her a beautiful landscape painting.”可知,周夕前去见了一位老画师并看了他的画作。故选用visited表示“拜访”。
4.句意:周夕惊讶地发现一半的纸都是空的——只有几只鸟在晴朗的天空中飞翔,一只小船漂浮在平静的水面上。
根据前文“…every corner”与此处“to see half of the paper was empty”形成的反差可知,她对此感到意外。故选用surprised表示“惊讶的”。
5.句意:周夕惊讶地发现一半的纸都是空的——只有几只鸟在晴朗的天空中飞翔,一只小船漂浮在平静的水面上。
根据常识及空后“in the clear sky”可知,鸟在天空中的动作应是飞翔。故选用flew表示“飞翔”。
6.句意:大师微笑着说:“再看一眼。这空白的部分让你感到平静吗?”
根据上文“to see half of the paper was empty”可知,老画师询问的是画中没有内容的区域。故选用empty表示“空白的”。
7.句意:那片空白看起来确实像一片广阔的天空。
根据后文“The birds were flying in it freely.”可知,空白处被周夕感知成了可以让鸟儿自由飞翔的空间。故选用sky表示“天空”。
8.句意:“如果我们试图用工作、学习或计划填满每一刻,我们会感到疲惫。
根据前文“If we try to fill every moment with work, study or plans”以及后文提倡“time to rest”的语境可知,过度忙碌会使人劳累。故选用tired表示“疲倦的”。
9.句意:留一些‘空白空间’——休息和思考的时间,这样我们就可以享受宁静,让我们的心‘呼吸’。
根据前文“time to rest”以及后文“so that we can enjoy quietness”可知,此处指身心的放松与思考。故选用think表示“思考”。
10.句意:“就像画中的空天让飞鸟看起来更自由一样,生活中的空闲时刻让我们更放松。”
根据前文“If we try to fill every moment…”以及本句“empty…in life make us more relaxed.”的语境呼应可知,此处指代时间段中的瞬间。故选用moments表示“时刻/瞬间”。
11.句意:她开始明白,留白是一个好主意。
根据前文“Zhou nodded.”以及后文“So she started to paint with more ‘blank space’”可知,周夕接受并认可了老画师的这种观点,认为这是一个好想法。故选用idea表示“主意/想法”。
12.句意:当人们看她的画时,他们感到平静并思考了很多。
根据上文老画师提到的“Does the…part make you feel peaceful?”可知,观众的心境也会变得安宁。故选用calm表示“平静的”。
13.句意:正如画家需要留白来创造美一样,我们需要在生活中留出时间来休息和思考。
根据“leave blank space for…”可知,此处指代留白的目的。结合下文“see the beauty of peace”以及绘画常识可知,画家在画作中留白是为了追求构图上的艺术美感。故选用beauty表示“美/美感”。
14.句意:不要让忙碌填满每一分钟——有时要让我们自己保持“空”的状态。
根据前文“Just as a painter needs to leave blank space…”以及“sometimes she left a corner of the paper empty”可知,此处作者呼应前文,建议我们在生活中也要“留出”空白状态,固定用法leave sb.+adj.意为“使某人保持某种状态”。故选用leave表示“留下/保持”。
15.句意:那时我们才能真正看到和平之美,并在安静的时刻找到幸福。
根据上文提到的“‘empty’ sometimes”可知,只有在安宁的环境下才能体味幸福。故选用quiet表示“安静的”。
That morning, we 1 a cab following Sir Henry and Dr. Mortimer in London. But who?
We went to Sir Henry’s hotel. Holmes asked Dr. Mortimer if anyone 2 a black beard lived in or near Baskerville Hall. “Yes.” said Dr.Mortimer, “Barrymore.”
“We must send a telegram to 3 whether Barrymore is in London or at Baskerville Hall,” said Holmes. Sir Henry said he wanted to go to Baskerville Hall.
“OK,” said Holmes. “But you 4 go alone. Watson can go with you” Sir Henry and I agreed to take the 10.30 train on Saturday.
Holmes thought deeply on the way home: the story of the hound, sir Charles's death, the strange letter, the 5 boot and the black-bearded man. He sat in his room all afternoon, 6 and thinking.
Just before dinner, a 7 arrived. It said, “Barrymore is at Baskerville Hall.”
“That becomes a dead end, Watson. We will have to look for 8 way to go forward.”
Just then the door bell rang. It was the 9 driver who drove the man with the black beard. “I got a 10 that you are asking for me,” he said. “I’ve never had a complaint. I came here to ask you what you had against me!”
“No, no,” said Holmes. “ 11 , I’ll give you money if you tell me about the man in your cab this morning. He watched this house at 10:00 and then told you to follow the two gentlemen.” The driver looked 12 and then answered, “The man said he was a detective (侦探) and that I shouldn’t tell anyone about him.”
“It’s serious, my friend, and you may be in 13 if you refuse to answer.” “His name,” said the driver, “was Sherlock Holmes.”
I’d never seen Holmes more surprised. Then he laughed. “He scored against me that time, Watson.” The driver told us 14 he knew. Holmes gave him the 15 and sent him away.
“This is a dangerous enemy (敌人), Watson.”

【导语】本文选自《巴斯克维尔的猎犬》。讲述福尔摩斯调查案件,通过电报确认信息,最终从马车夫处得知黑胡子男人假扮福尔摩斯的故事。
1.句意:那天早上,我们注意到一辆马车跟着亨利爵士和莫蒂默医生。
根据“a cab following...”可知是观察到某事,look需加at,只有notice符合语境。invited“邀请”、met“遇见”均不符合语境
2.句意:福尔摩斯问莫蒂默医生,巴斯克维尔庄园里或附近有没有留黑胡子的人。
固定搭配anyone with a black beard表示“留黑胡子的人”,with“带有”符合语境;in“在……里”、has“有,动词”、without“没有”均不符合。
3.句意:“我们必须发电报核实巴里莫尔是否在伦敦还是在巴斯克维尔庄园。”福尔摩斯说。
发电报的目的是核实巴里莫尔的位置,check“核实”符合语境;find“找到”、ask“问”、see“看见”均不符合电报的用途。
4.句意:“但你不能一个人去,华生可以和你一起去。”
后文提到华生陪亨利爵士去,说明福尔摩斯不允许他一个人去,mustn’t“禁止、不可以”符合语境;couldn’t“不能,过去式”、needn’t“不必”、must“必须”均不符合语气。
5.句意:回家的路上,福尔摩斯陷入了沉思:猎犬的故事、查尔斯爵士的死、那封奇怪的信、失踪的靴子和那个留黑胡子的男人。
后文提到“丢失的靴子”,此处应为missing“失踪的”,符合语境;missed“想念”、losing“失去,现在分词”、lose“失去,动词”均不符合。
6.句意:他整个下午都坐在房间里抽烟、思考。
此处用现在分词作伴随状语,smoking“抽烟”符合语法;to smoke“不定式”、smoked“过去式”、was smoking“过去进行时”均不符合伴随状语的结构。
7.句意:晚饭前,一封电报到了。
前文提到发电报核实,此处收到了电报回复,telegram“电报”符合语境;telephone“电话”、letter“信”、photo“照片”均不符合。

死胡同后需要找“另一条路”,another“另一个,三者及以上”符合语境;other“其他的,后接复数名词”、the other“两者中的另一个”、others“代词,其他的人/物”均不符合。
9.句意:是早上载那个留黑胡子的男人的出租车司机。
前文提到他们乘坐出租车,跟踪他们的男子也坐了出租车,因此来的是出租车司机,cab“出租车”符合语境;bus“公交车”、car“汽车”、train“火车”均不符合。
10.句意:他说:“我收到一条消息说你在找我。”
固定搭配get a message表示“收到一条消息”,符合语境;news“新闻,不可数”、information“信息,不可数”、introduction“介绍”均不符合。
11.句意:“不,”福尔摩斯说,“相反,如果你告诉我今天早上在你出租车里的那个男人的事,我就给你钱。”
根据“No, no”可知是否定前者提出替代方案,Instead作副词符合语境。However“然而”、Instead of“而不是,后接名词/动名词”、Anyway“无论如何”均不符合逻辑。
12.句意:司机看起来很惊讶,然后回答说:“那个男人说他是个侦探,让我不要告诉任何人关于他的事。”
司机没想到福尔摩斯会知道,因此感到惊讶,surprised“感到惊讶的,修饰人”符合语境;surprising“令人惊讶的,修饰事物”、interested“感兴趣的”、interesting“有趣的”均不符合。
13.句意:“这是认真的,我的朋友,如果你拒绝回答,你可能会遇到麻烦。”
固定搭配be in trouble表示“遇到麻烦”,符合语境;need“需要”、problem“问题,前常加a”、worry“担忧”均不符合。
14.句意:司机把他所知道的一切都告诉了我们。
司机把知道的所有信息都说了出来,everything“所有事”符合语境;nothing“什么也没有”、something“某事”、anything“任何事,多用于否定/疑问句”均不符合。
15.句意:福尔摩斯给了他钱,让他走了。
前文提到福尔摩斯说会给司机钱,因此此处是给了他钱,money“钱”符合语境;card“卡片”、gift“礼物”、ticket“票”均不符合。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了江苏南通名人张謇的生平事迹。他实业救国,兴办教育,改善民生,被誉为“现代南通之父”,其精神值得后人学习。
1.句意:张謇想为他的国家做点什么。
根据前文的“the country was weak”可知,此处country“国家”符合语境。family“家庭”;school“学校”和factory“工厂”与下文“实业救国”的语境不符。
2.句意:他决定开办工厂和学校来帮助普通人。
根据“factories and schools to help common people”可知,open“开办”符合语境。close“关闭”;sell“卖”和leave“离开”与“开办工厂和学校来帮助普通人”的语境不符。
3.句意:张謇尽最大努力筹集资金建工厂。
根据“money to build factories”可知,建厂需要资金,raise money为固定搭配“筹钱;筹集资金”,符合语境。waste“浪费”;borrow“借”和lose“失去;丢失”与“筹钱办厂”的语境不符。
4.句意:他希望让中国产品受欢迎,以便人们能有工作并赚钱。
根据“so that people could have jobs and make money”可知,产品畅销才能提高就业率,popular“受欢迎的”符合语境。cheap“便宜的”;useless“无用的”和dangerous“危险的”与“提高就业率”的语境不符。
5.句意:他还在南通建立了许多学校。
根据“such as Nantong Normal College”可知,此处是说他创办学校,built“创办;建立”符合语境。visited“参观”;left“离开”和forgot“忘记”与语境不符。

8.句意:他想让人们过上更好、更幸福的生活。
and连接的是并列成分,根据其前的“better”可知,此处应填入一个与其并列的具有积极意义的形容词的比较级,happier“更幸福的”与前文提到的“办厂、办学、开设医院和公园”的目的相符。排除busier“更忙碌的”;harder“更难的”和sadder“更伤心的”。
9.句意:他日夜工作,但他从不放弃。
根据“He worked day and night”及转折连词 but可知,此处表达他坚持不懈,不放弃,gave up“放弃”符合语境。got up“起床”;stood up“站起来”和woke up“醒来”与“日夜工作不放弃”的语境不符。
10.句意:他们记得他努力工作和关心国家的精神。
根据“Today, people in Nantong still miss Zhang Jian.”可知,此处是表达人们记得他“努力工作和关心国家”的精神,所以一直怀念他,spirit“精神”符合语境。排除heart“心”;mind“头脑”和respect“尊敬”。
11.句意:对于南通的学生来说,张謇是一位伟大的英雄。
根据前文对他的贡献描述以及空后的“He teaches them to love their hometown and study hard”可知,此处hero“英雄”符合语境。actor“演员”;driver“司机”和singer“歌手”与张謇的职业特征不符。
12.句意:他教导他们热爱家乡,努力学习来提升自己。

We were walking 2 the forest when it began to snow heavily. It was getting dark. 3 , the wind started to blow very strongly and we could only hold our 4 and move forward. It felt like we were being pushed backwards. We decided to go back but the snow was 5 deep that we couldn’t find the way. However, we had to keep moving. Never should we 6 .
We finally found a small old hotel, and when we went inside, we saw the fallen roof on the floor because of the strong 7 . There were no lights, and it was very cold. We didn’t have any 8 with us, and our mobile phones had no signal (信号). We used my husband’s flashlight (手电筒) to 9 something to eat, but all we could find was some old bread. We couldn’t 10 at first. The wind was beating hard against the windows. When I 11 the following morning, I was 12 to find that the weather turned clear. We made our way to the bus stop.

【导语】本文讲述了作者一家冬季在山里度假时遭遇暴风雪,被困旧旅馆,最终安全回家的惊险经历,体现了生命的可贵。
1.句意:那是一个平静的下午。我们决定去散个步。
根据下文提到这次散步变成了可怕的经历,可知起初这是一个很平静的下午,ordinary“平常的,普通的”,与空格前不定冠词a矛盾;strange“奇怪的”,与后文的转折矛盾;unusual“不寻常的”,与空格前不定冠词a矛盾;peaceful“宁静的”符合此处强调事情发生得突然且出乎意料的语境。
2.句意:当开始下大雪时,我们正在穿过森林。
through指从物体内部穿过,walk through the forest表示“穿过森林(在树林里走)”,符合语境。along“沿着”,across“横过(表面)”,around“围绕”均不如through准确表达在森林内部行走的含义。
3.句意:突然,风开始刮得很猛,我们只能屏住呼吸向前移动。
前文说天变黑了,后文风突然变大,Suddenly“突然”符合语境,表示情况突变。Luckily“幸运地”,Usually“通常”,Recently“最近”均不符合语境逻辑。
4.句意:突然,风开始刮得很猛,我们只能屏住呼吸向前移动。
hold one’s breath是固定搭配,意为“屏住呼吸”,因为风很大,呼吸困难,所以只能屏住呼吸前行。spirit“精神”,noise“噪音”,fight“战斗”均无法与hold搭配构成符合语境的短语。
5.句意:我们决定回去,但是雪太深了,以至于我们找不到路。
so...that...是固定句型,意为“如此……以至于……”,修饰形容词deep应用so。such修饰名词,too和very不能与that连用构成结果状语从句。
6.句意:然而,我们必须继续前进。我们绝不应该放弃。
前文提到必须继续移动,这里强调的是不能放弃。give up“放弃”符合语境。stick to“坚持”,hold up“举起;阻挡”,give away“赠送;泄露”均不符合语境。
7.句意:当我们走进去时,我们看到地板上有因为强风而掉落的屋顶。
前文提到风刮得很猛,所以屋顶掉落是因为wind“风”。rain“雨”,snow“雪”,weather“天气”(范围太广,不如wind具体)均不符合语境。
8.句意:我们身上没有任何食物,手机也没有信号。
后文提到找吃的,说明当时没有food“食物”。water“水”,corn“玉米”(属于食物的一种,但此处用food更概括),objects“物体”均不符合语境。
9.句意:我们用我丈夫的手电筒寻找吃的东西,但我们能找到的只是一些旧面包。
look for“寻找”符合语境,表示试图找到食物。help with“帮助做……”,turn into“变成”,find out“查明”均不符合语境。
10.句意:起初我们无法入睡。
前文提到环境恶劣,有风声等,所以难以sleep“睡觉”。work“工作”,cook“做饭”,talk“谈话”均不符合语境。
11.句意:当我第二天早上醒来时,我很兴奋地发现天气转晴了。
根据“find that the weather turned clear”可知,作者早晨醒之后发现的,woke up“醒来”符合语境,表示从睡眠中醒来。put up“张贴;搭建”,took up“占据;开始从事”,set up“建立”均不符合语境。
12.句意:当我第二天早上醒来时,我很兴奋地发现天气转晴了。
发现天气转晴,应该是excited“兴奋的”。afraid“害怕的”,nervous“紧张的”,sad“悲伤的”均不符合语境。
13.句意:当我们看到公交车来了,我们高兴得跳上跳下,充满了喜悦。
看到公交车意味着能够脱困回家,此时的心情应该是充满了喜悦。happiness“喜悦,幸福”符合语境。power“力量”,spirit“精神”,energy“活力”均不如happiness贴切地表达当时劫后余生的心情。
14.句意:公交车把我们安全地带回了家。
take sb. home“带某人回家”,表示公交车把我们安全送回家,此处用过去式took。carried“搬运”,brought“带来”(方向不对,是从外面带回家,用take),lifted“举起”均不符合语境。
15.句意:我们意识到能活着是多么幸运。
经历了这场可怕的风雪灾难并幸存下来,内心充满的是对生命的庆幸。lucky“幸运的”符合语境。helpful“有帮助的”,lonely“孤独的”,useful“有用的”均不符合语境。
I have received many gifts over the years, but one gift stands out. It was my 13th birthday, and I was 1 to see what my parents had bought for me.
When I 2 the box, I found a small old-fashioned 3 inside. At first, I was a little 4 . I had expected something more exciting, like a new video game or a cool pair of shoes. But my mum 5 me to look closer. She told me that this watch was once my 6 . He had given it to her on their wedding day, and now she wanted to pass it down to me.
As I held the watch in my hand, I started to 7 its special meaning. It wasn’t just a watch; it was a 8 of my family’s history. I could imagine my grandfather wearing it as he went about his daily life, and my mother keeping it close to her 9 all these years.
Since then, I have taken the watch 10 me everywhere I go. It has become a reminder of my family and the 11 they have for me. Whenever I look at it, I feel 12 warmth and love.
One day, when I was playing basketball with my friends, I 13 the watch on the court. I was so worried that I 14 everywhere for it. Luckily, one of my friends found it and 15 it to me.
That watch is more than just a time-telling device; it’s a precious part of my life.

【导语】本文讲述作者13岁生日收到祖父的旧手表,从失望到理解其家族意义,丢失后找回,成为珍贵回忆的故事。
1.句意:那天是我13岁生日,我很兴奋去看父母给我买了什么。
根据“13th birthday”及收礼物语境,可知心情是兴奋的,excited“兴奋的”正确。angry“生气的”、worried“担心的”、sad“悲伤的”不符合生日期待的心情。
2.句意:当我打开盒子时,发现里面有一块旧式手表。
根据“found…inside”可知需先打开盒子才能发现里面物品。opened the box“打开盒子”正确。closed“关闭”、saw“看见”、found“发现”无法逻辑通顺地引出发现物品。
3.句意:当我打开盒子时,发现里面有一块旧式手表。
根据下文“this watch was once…”可知礼物是手表。根据语境,下文直接提到了watch。book“书”、toy“玩具”、photo“照片”与下文指代不符。
4.句意:起初我有点失落。
根据“expected something more exciting”可知实际礼物不如预期,感到失望,down“情绪低落的”正确。happy“高兴”、surprised“惊讶”、interested“感兴趣”不能体现预期与现实的落差。
5.句意:但妈妈让我仔细看。
根据“ask sb. to do sth.”及语境,妈妈要求作者仔细看,asked正确。allowed“允许”、invited“邀请”、made“使”(make sb. do)搭配或语意不通。
6.句意:她告诉我这块手表曾经是我祖父的。
根据下文“He had given it to her… imagined my grandfather wearing it”可知是祖父的,grandfather’s正确。father’s“父亲的”、mother’s“母亲的”、grandmother’s“祖母的”与后文信息矛盾。
7.句意:当我把手表握在手中时,我开始理解它的特殊意义。
根据妈妈解释后,作者明白了含义,understand“理解”正确。forget“忘记”、miss“想念”、remember“记得”不符合认知过程。
8.句意:它不仅仅是一块手表;它是家族历史的象征。
根据“symbol of”及语境,手表代表历史。根据语境,物品承载历史意义常用symbol。dream“梦想”、story“故事”、picture“图片”语意不符。
9.句意:我可以想象祖父在日常生活中戴着它,而妈妈这些年一直把它贴近自己的心。
根据“close to one’s heart”意为珍视。根据语境,表达珍视情感常用heart。head“头”、hand“手”、arm“胳膊”无此固定搭配。
10.句意:从那以后,我无论去哪里都随身带着这块手表。
根据“take sth. with sb.”意为随身携带。根据语境,表达随身带着需用with。in、from、for搭配不当。
11.句意:它已经成为我的家庭和他们对我的爱的提醒。
根据下文“warmth and love”可知是爱,love“爱”正确。money“钱”、time“时间”、advice“建议”与情感主题不符。
12.句意:每当我看到它,我都会感到一种温暖和爱。
根据“a sense of warmth”意为温暖的感觉。根据语境,抽象情感常用sense of。其他选项搭配不如A地道。
13.句意:有一天,当我和朋友们打篮球时,我在球场上弄丢了手表。
根据下文“found it”及“worried”可知是丢了,lost“丢失”正确。bought“买”、found“发现”、got“得到”与情节矛盾。
14.句意:我非常担心,到处寻找它。
looked everywhere for it“到处寻找它”,look for为“寻找”。waited“等待”、called“打电话”、paid“支付”不符合寻找语境。
15.句意:幸运的是,我的一个朋友找到了它并把它还给了我。
根据语境,朋友归还物品即给我。gave it to me“把它给我”即归还。sold“卖”、lent“借出”、threw“扔”不符合归还逻辑。
When my brother and I were children, we spent a few weeks each summer in the countryside with our 1 . He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to 2 stones to add to his collection at the university.
One day our uncle gave us two 3 and asked us to help him carry the stones. The whole day, we walked 4 the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a little surprised 5 sometimes he also took some stones out of our bags. We thought he had just found better ones.
We got back home in the late afternoon. The bags were so heavy that we were really 6 when we put them on the ground. But our uncle’s bag was nearly 7 .
“Why did you give us so many stones?” we asked.
“I didn’t. You did,” he said, waiting for a while before continuing. “You did not know it, but I gave you a little attitude test today. And whenever you 8 something bad about anyone or anything, I put a stone in your bags.” And whenever you talked about something positively (乐观地), I 9 a stone. And now look at your bags.
The bags were 10 full.
He added, “Your negative thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your 11 just like those stones in a bag. The more negative thoughts you have, the 12 your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and 13 you talk about things.” This little 14 was the most important one I had ever had. And I remember my uncle with great love for 15 us one of the most important lessons of life—the power of the attitude.

Do you know what a secondhand shop is? Have you visited one? For me, 1 is more pleasant than finding hidden gems (珍宝) in secondhand shops. After all, one person’s waste is 2 person’s treasure.
Years ago, I came across a collection of dusty 3 with broken edges. They recorded people’s faces and beautiful moments. I thought: 4 these were mine, I would want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do the same for others. Since then, I’ve visited secondhand shops weekly and have collected more than 50,000 of these items, such as photos, home movies and photo albums. I organize them in large boxes. I’ve also 5 a social media account (账号). In this way, I can help reunite (使团聚) the items with their 6 .
We once 7 to reunite a family with pictures from 1943, which was really special. I found a bottle at a shop in New York and there were two rolls of film in it. One of my followers found a family on a heritage website, and their old photographs looked 8 to the ones I found. We 9 them and they were sure that their ancestors were in the photographs, and I sent them their pictures. They were very thankful and said that a family member had recently moved out of New York. Maybe that is 10 the film ended up at a secondhand store.

I want to inspire people to keep their own family history and important items so that they don’t end up getting 13 . Many people have told me this project has helped them feel more connected (连接的) to their 14 . It’s not 15 about returning photos. It’s about building bridges between people and their memories.

3.句意:Ivanka坐在火旁,梦想着钱。
应该是坐在火边,常用固定搭配by the fire。

木头来保持火燃烧,应是收集木头,collect符合。
5.句意:在回家的路上。
回家的路上用固定搭配“On one’s way home”。
6.句意:雪王给她火和食物。
后面说“Katya sits by the fire and eats”,所以给了食物,food符合。
7.句意:在她醒来前,雪王就离开了。
醒来发生在雪王离开之后,用after表示这个时间顺序。
8.句意:她的父亲很高兴。

If you look down at the Namib Desert (纳米布沙漠), you’ll see something 1 . There are circles in the sand 2 grasses around them. The local people 3 these “fairy circles (仙女圈)”. But who made them? And why?
The fairy circles are in a narrow (狭窄的) 4 of the desert. Some are very big, almost 40 feet across. Some are small, about 6 feet across. And they all have grasses around them. It’s really 5 .
The local Himba (辛巴族) people think their ancestors (祖先) 6 the fairy circles. 7 this idea isn’t right according to science. So scientists start to 8 the real answer. In a new study, 9 think they might know the mystery of the fairy circles—termites (白蚁). The termites live underground. But they are different from 10 termites. They don’t build mounds.
Scientists think the termites 11 the roots of the grasses and make the grasses die. When it rains, the water goes 12 into the soil (土壤). So there is water in these places where grasses grow around.
If you think the termites 13 the desert, you’re wrong. The termites are actually making the desert greener. How? In the places where the termites live, the soil is porous (多孔的) and sandy (含沙的). So water can go 14 the desert easily. In this way, plants outside the circles are growing.
The termites and the fairy circles are good for the Himba people. They let their cattle (牛), goats, and sheep eat the grasses. They 15 use the inside of the circles to keep the animals at night.

【导语】本文介绍了纳米布沙漠中神秘的“仙女圈”现象,科学家研究发现白蚁通过啃食草根并改变土壤结构使水快速下渗,从而形成圆圈和边缘草丛,反而让沙漠更绿,有益于当地人放牧。
1.句意:如果你俯瞰纳米布沙漠,你会看到一些奇怪的东西。
沙漠中出现圆圈是“奇怪的”,strange符合语境。beautiful“美丽的”、fresh“新鲜的”、smart“聪明的”均不能表达“神秘未知现象”的初步印象。
2.句意:沙地上有一些圆圈,周围长着草。
圆圈周围长着草,with表示伴随状态,符合语境。for“为了”、at“在”、of“……的”均不能表达“带有/伴随着草”的修饰关系。
3.句意:当地人把这些称为“仙女圈”。
call sb./sth. sth. 表示“把……叫做……”,因此用call,say“说”后不能接双宾语、tell“告诉”需接人、talk“交谈”不及物,均不能连接宾语和名称。
4.句意:仙女圈位于沙漠的一个狭窄地带。
此处指仙女圈的地理位置,表示沙漠的一个狭窄地带,part符合语境。size“尺寸”、square“广场”、farm“农场”均不能表达“沙漠的一片区域”。
5.句意:真的很神奇。
这种大小不一、规律分布的神秘圆圈是令人惊叹的自然现象,amazing“令人惊叹的/神奇的”,符合语境。expensive“昂贵的”、boring“无聊的”、creative“有创造力的”均不能表达对自然奇观的感叹。
6.句意:当地辛巴族人认为他们的祖先创造了仙女圈。
下文讲述圆圈的形成,made符合语境。collected“收集”、added“增加”、broke“打破”均不能表达“祖先创造”的传说含义。
7.句意:但根据科学,这个想法并不正确。
前后为转折关系,But“但是”符合语境。And“和”表并列、Or“或者”表选择、So“所以”表因果,均不能表达传说与科学的矛盾。
8.句意:因此科学家开始寻找真正的答案。
下文探寻答案的过程,此处指寻找真正的答案,look for符合语境。look at“看”、look up“查阅”、look out“当心”均不能与“探索未知原因”对应。
9.句意:在一项新研究中,科学家们认为他们可能知道了仙女圈的奥秘——白蚁。
“So scientists start to…”提示是scientists“科学家”,符合语境。artists“艺术家”、workers“工人”、masters“大师”均与“科学研究”无关。
10.句意:但它们与其他白蚁不同。
此处表示 “其他的白蚁”,用other后接复数名词termites,构成“different from other termites”,others为代词后不接名词、another接单数名词、the other表特指剩余的全部,均不符合“泛指其他类白蚁”的语境。
11.句意:科学家认为白蚁吃草的根部,导致草死亡。
“make the grasses die”表明白蚁的行为是“吃掉”草根,eat符合语境。make“制作”、build“建造”、lie“躺”均不能与“吃根部导致死亡”的因果对应。
12.句意:下雨时,水快速渗入土壤。
根据下文“So there is water in these places where grasses grow around.”可知,此处表示水分快速渗透进土壤,quickly“快速地”,符合语境。slowly“缓慢地”与后文“多孔含沙土质”矛盾、specially“特别地”、carefully“小心地”均不符合土壤渗透的特征。
13.句意:如果你认为白蚁对沙漠有害,那就错了。
后文“making the desert greener”说明并非有害,are bad for“对……有害”符合语境。are good for“对……有益”、are interested in“对……感兴趣”、are surprised at“对……惊讶”均与后文“你错了”矛盾。
14.句意:水可以轻易地穿过沙漠。
水从土壤内部“穿过、渗透”,用through强调“从内部穿过”。across“横过”强调表面穿过、past“经过”强调从旁边经过、around“围绕”均不能描述水渗透沙土的过程。
15.句意:他们也利用圆圈内部在夜间圈养动物。
前文说当地人让牲畜吃圈外的草,此处补充“也”用圈内的地方,also“也”表补充说明,符合语境。almost“几乎”、nearly“差不多”、just“仅仅”均不能表达“除吃草外还有另一用途”的递进关系。

One day, a girl moved into her neighborhood. She was a kind girl and 6 Cathy was homeless. Every day she went to put food outside Cathy’s place. The meals were so 7 that Cathy found herself looking forward to them more and more. Cathy didn’t want to go out and catch mice by 8 any more.
