Last year, my mother was seriously ill and had an operation on her brain. I felt my whole world turn upside down and I had no idea what to do to help 1 her pain. My eyes were filled with tears whenever I was alone. Last month, I lost a watch, which was a 2 for my 18th birthday from my father. I could not fall asleep for a couple of nights and I felt very upset. There have been many 3 things like this in my life. I could never know how to deal with such hard things 4 I read *If You Have a Lemon, Make Lemonade*. “When the wise man is handed a lemon,” he says, “What 5 can I get from this?

Now when I think of my past, I wish I could have dealt with things 7 . When my mother was fighting against her illness, I should have held her hands in mine, telling her things would get better 8 hiding and crying. Several weeks ago, I took part in a school singing competition. I didn’t 9 a prize. If I had not read this article, I would certainly have felt disappointed (失望的) again. But instead, I smiled after the competition. I was happy that 10 I had got some stage experience. Life is not just a bed of roses.

How can I improve my situation?”以及文中的名言背景可知，此处是在面对生活中的不幸时，聪明人会反思可以从中获得怎样的经验与教训。故选用lesson表示“教训/经验”。 6．句意：我突然意识到生活充满了起起落落，所以我们需要一直保持积极的心态。 根据空前的“I suddenly”以及空后的宾语从句“that life is full of ups and downs”可知，作者在读完文章后，突然恍然大悟，觉察、意识到了生活的真意。故选用realized表示“意识到”。 7．句意：现在当我回忆过去时，我希望我当时能用不同的方式来处理那些事情。 根据上文作者读完文章后心态的转变可知，作者如果能早些懂得这个道理，过去对待困难的方法就会大不相同，此处虚拟语气“I wish I could have dealt with things…”表达了对过去做法的假设。故选用differently表示“不同地”。 8．句意：当我母亲在与病魔抗争时，我应该握住她的手，告诉她一切都会好起来的，而不是躲起来哭。 根据空前“telling her things would get better”与空后“hiding and crying”可知，前者是作者本应该采取的积极行动，后者是作者过去的消极行为，两者之间是替代、相反的关系。故选用instead of表示“代替，而不是”。 9．句意：我没有获奖。 根据空后宾语“a prize”以及下文“…I smiled after the competition.”可知，作者虽然没有赢得奖项，但不再像以前那样感到失望，而是能微笑面对。故选用win表示“赢得”。 10．句意：我很高兴，至少我获得了一些舞台经验。 根据空前“I was happy that”以及空后宾语从句“I had got some stage experience”可知，尽管没有获奖，但作者心态积极，认为“至少”自己获得了宝贵的舞台经验。故选用at least表示“至少”。 Technology (技术) is changing our lives, and the smart home is one of the changes. A smart home uses the Internet to 1 different home devices (设备), like lights, air conditioners and security cameras to make our daily lives 2 and safer.

One of the most important things that we all need to do is to celebrate the differences. Instead of judging too quickly, we should take time to learn and understand. We 3 treat people from other cultures the wrong way. For example, has your whole 4 ever been blamed (责备) for something that your little sister did? In fact, it’s not 5 to blame a whole culture for what only two or three people did. A few people’s actions cannot stand for everyone from that culture. So you can do the following things to help yourself 6 other cultures. Just remember, even though some people look different on the outside, that doesn’t 7 what they are like on the inside. We all have the same 8 ! We all feel joy, sadness, love and fear, no matter where we come from. Try to make friends with people from different cultures.

When I first heard other players call the name, I knew it was a joke, but I still felt 306 Only Eric never called me that. He always tried his best to make me feel at 1 on the team, and helped me practice my skills on the ice. I felt everyone else saw me as a 2 little boy—after all, they could lift me with just one arm. One day, we played against another team. Their players were all huge and strong, and I was 3 that any of them could take my puck easily. In the middle of the game, I held the puck tight (紧地) and skated fast, then 4 it to Eric. He was about to catch it when the biggest player from the other team hit him. 5 Eric fell down hard on the cold ice. To our 6 , the player laughed at him instead of stopping to help. I felt angry seeing someone act so badly to my friend. I skated straight towards him, and 7 ,“you must say sorry to him!" He said no and tried to skate away, but I reached him quickly. I continued to follow him, and wouldn’t let him run off. I stood in his way to 8 him from leaving, again and again. Finally, he had to say sorry to Eric. From that moment, everything changed. My teammates realized that 9 I might be small, I had my own strengths (长处). They never used that nickname again. They told me they had never seen someone so small stand up so bravely. That day became a happy memory for me, a turning point where I found my place and my calm on the ice. 1．A．calm B．happy C．sad D．nervous 2．A．school B．home C．work D．team 3．A．weak B．strong C．shy D．kind 4．A．surprised B．confident C．afraid D．glad 5．A．showed B．brought C．passed D．threw 6．A．Suddenly B．Slowly C．Closely D．Carefully 7．A．happiness B．sadness C．surprise D．pity 8．A．advised B．asked C．replied D．shouted 9．A．catch B．keep C．prevent D．watch 10．A．since B．until C．though D．because 【答案】 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．C 6．A 7．C 8．D 9．C 10．C 【导语】本文讲述了作为冰球队里最矮瘦的队员，作者在一次比赛中勇敢地站出来，逼迫撞倒队友的对手道歉，从而赢得了队友们的尊重，不再被叫绰号的故事。 1．句意：当我第一次听到其他队员叫这个名字时，我知道这是一个玩笑，但我仍然感到伤心。 根据“I know it was a joke, but I still felt...”可知，虽然知道是玩笑，但被起绰号心里还是会感到难过，sad“难过”符合语境。 2．句意：他总是尽力让我在队里感到自在，并帮助我在冰上练习技巧。 根据“make me feel at...”可知，此处考查固定搭配feel at home，意为“感觉像在家里一样，感到自在”，符合Eric对作者友好的语境。 3．句意：我觉得其他人都把我当成一个虚弱的小男孩——毕竟，他们只用一只胳膊就能把我举起来。 根据前文“smallest and thinnest”以及后文“they could lift me with just one arm”可知，大家觉得作者很瘦弱，weak“弱的”符合描述。 4．句意：他们的队员都非常高大强壮，我害怕他们中的任何一个都能轻易抢走我的冰球。 根据“Their players were all huge and strong”可知，面对高大强壮的对手，作者内心是害怕冰球被轻易抢走的，afraid“害怕的”与句意符合。 5．句意：在比赛中，我紧紧抓住冰球，滑得很快，然后把它传给Eric。根据语境可知，在冰球比赛中，把球传递给队友应用动词pass。 6．句意：突然，Eric重重地摔在了冷冰冰的冰面上。 根据“the biggest player from the other team hit him”可知，被猛烈撞击后是突然摔倒的，描述突发事件，Suddenly“突然”符合对场景的描述。 7．句意：令我们惊讶的是，那个球员不仅没有停下来帮忙，反而嘲笑他。 根据“laughed at him instead of stopping to help”可知，撞人后不帮忙反而嘲笑，这种恶劣行为令人感到惊讶。To one’s surprise为固定搭配，意为“令某人惊讶的是”。 8．句意：我径直向他滑去，大喊道：“你必须向他道歉！” 根据“I felt angry”以及感叹号可知，作者当时非常生气，所以是大声喊叫，shouted“喊叫”符合句意。 9．句意：我挡住他的路，一次又一次地阻止他离开。 根据“him from leaving, again and again”可知，作者一次次阻止那位球员离开，prevent sb. from doing sth.意为“阻止某人做某事”。 10．考查连词辨析。句意：我的队友们意识到，虽然我可能很小，但我有自己的长处。 根据“I might be small”和“I had my own strengths”可知，前后两句是让步转折关系，应用though引导让步状语从句。 Light rain continued to fall as I arrived at the mountain village. With a heavy bag on my back, I was excited to teach at a small school here, but a little 1 . What would these students be like? The school had only 18 students. Most were quiet, 2 they ran and laughed at break. One girl, Wen, always sat alone in the corner, seldom saying anything. On my first day in the classroom, I shared with them a 3 with the words “You are seen” on it and put it up on the wall. Some smiled shyly and some spoke quietly. “That’s why I’m here,” I said. However, Wen didn’t 4 . She was just drawing circles on the desk with her finger. Days passed quickly. The lessons were 5 planned. The children were kind. But my effort seemed to make little difference. I was not sure if I was doing anything 6 . One night, a heavy storm caused a power cut, leaving the classroom in darkness. As everyone was frozen, a soft light appeared. It was Wen who was holding a 7 in her hand. “We can still read,” she said in a low voice. That was the first time I heard her voice. The next day, she sat 8 to her classmates. In the following days, she began to talk more. In my last class, she came up and gave me the lantern. “So you will always have some 9 ,” she smiled gently. I came to give light, but found it was quietly 10 . Volunteering isn’t always loud or big. Sometimes, it’s a quiet lantern—shared between the two, and shining in both directions. 1．A．bored B．relaxed C．worried D．surprised 2．A．though B．so C．since D．when 3．A．dictionary B．poster C．book D．tool 4．A．stand up B．give up C．wake up D．look up 5．A．slowly B．carefully C．directly D．finally 6．A．simple B．interesting C．popular D．meaningful 7．A．book B．lantern C．candle D．lamp 8．A．farther B．lower C．closer D．longer 9．A．fun B．time C．light D．hope 10．A．returned B．collected C．connected D．accepted 【答案】 1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．B 6．D 7．B 8．C 9．C 10．A 【导语】本文讲述作者去山村支教，遇到孤僻学生温。停电时温用灯笼照亮教室，离别送作者灯笼。作者感悟志愿服务是双向照亮。 1．句意：我背着沉重的包，很兴奋能在这所小学校教书，但有点儿担心的。 根据后文“What would these students be like?”可知作者对学生情况未知，内心存在担忧。worried表示“担忧的”，符合语境。relaxed与兴奋转折矛盾，bored，surprised不符合语境逻辑。故选C。 2．句意：大多数学生都很安静，尽管他们在课间休息时会边跑边笑。 根据前后句意存在转折关系，安静与跑笑形成对比，可知应填表示让步的连词，though表示“尽管”符合句意。so表因果，since表原因或时间，when表时间，均不符合此处的转折关系。故选A。 3．句意：在教室的第一天，我和他们分享了一张上面写着“你们被看见了”的海报，并把它贴在墙上。 根据“put it up on the wall”可知能贴在墙上展示话语的通常是poster，表示“海报"。dictionary（字典），book（书本），tool（工具）均无法直接贴在墙上传递文字信息。故选B。 4．句意：然而，温没有抬头看。 根据后文“She was just drawing circles on the desk with her finger.”可知她低头画圈，没有抬头。look up（抬头看）符合语境；stand up（站起来），give up（放弃），wake up（醒来）均与上下文场景无关。故选D。 5．句意：课程是精心计划的。 根据作者作为支教老师用心准备课程，可知课程是仔细规划好的，carefully（认真地）符合教师用心准备课程的场景。slowly（缓慢地），directly（直接地），finally（最终）无法体现努力准备的过程和态度。故选B。 6．句意：我不确定我是否在做有意义的事。 根据前文“But my effort seemed to make little difference.”可知作者怀疑努力的效果，即是否有意义。meaningful（有意义的）契合这种自我怀疑的情绪。simple（简单的），interesting（有趣的），popular（受欢迎的）均无法呼应“努力无效”的挫败感。故选D。 7．句意：是温，她手里拿着一盏灯笼。 根据后文“she came up and gave me the lantern.”可知此处对应下文，应填lantern（灯笼）。book（书），candle（蜡烛），lamp（台灯）均与后文的关键线索不符。故选B。 8．句意：第二天，她坐得离同学更近了。 根据后文“she began to talk more.”可知她开始交流，说明心理距离拉近，坐得更近，closer（更近的）符合语境。farther（更远的）与语境相反，lower（更低的），longer（更长的）均无法描述座位距离的变化。故选C。 9．句意：她温柔地笑着说：“这样你就永远能拥有一丝光亮了。” 根据上文停电时温用灯笼照亮教室以及“gave me the lantern”可知，这里指物理上的光亮及象征意义。light（光）既对应物品，也呼应全文的象征意义；fun（乐趣），time（时间），hope（希望）均无法直接关联“灯笼”这一关键物品。故选C。 10．句意：我本想来给予光亮，却发现它已被悄然回赠。 前文提到老师来支教是“给予光明”，而Wen用灯笼传递温暖，相当于把这份光明又传递回了老师，形成双向的温暖传递。returned（返还 / 回馈）完美体现了这种双向互动的含义；collected（收集），connected（连接），accepted（接受）均无法呼应“双向传递光明”的主题。故选A。 Once upon a time, there was a farmer who lost his watch in his barn (谷仓). For the farmer, the watch was cheap but was very 1 to him because it was a gift from his father. 2 he searched all over among the hay and corners of the barn for a long time, he felt tired and gave up.

After trying for a long time, the children were not able to find the 6 . They felt tired and left. Just when the farmer was going to lose heart, a little boy went up to him and asked to be given another 7 . The farmer looked at him and thought for a while, “Why not? After all, this kid looks honest enough.” So the farmer 8 the little boy back into the barn. After some time, the little boy came out with the watch in his hand! The surprised farmer asked the boy how he made it when the rest failed. The boy replied, “I did nothing but 9 on the ground. In the silence, I was able to hear the ticking of the watch and just followed the sound.” A 10 mind can think better than an excited one.

He and Tom were in the school’s basketball team. “Why the 1 face? Are you still feeling blue about Saturday night’s game?” Tom asked. “Of course I am,” Matt said 2 . He didn’t dare (敢) to look at Tom as he spoke. “I’m really sorry about letting everybody down. The other team got those 3 because of me.” “Don’t be too hard on yourself!” Tom said. “ 4 you pushed their player, it was just an accident. Everyone knows that!” Tom was a good friend. But Matt knew the referee (裁判) didn’t share Tom’s opinion. When the referee saw Matt push another player, he gave the other team two free throws. Matt was as 5 as anyone else when the accident happened, but it was too late. He couldn’t take it back. “I guess we have to 6 his decision,” Matt said after a while. “But we had a good chance to win until I made that mistake. Why wasn’t I more 7 ?” “Listen, Matt,” said Tom, “try to look on the bright side. The other team is the best in our area, but our scores were really close. I’m proud of us, and I know our coach and 8 else in our school are as well.” Matt felt a bit better. “Thanks, Tom. I guess it’s just hard to lose.” “Hey, you can’t win them all,” said Tom. “It’s more important to learn from your 9 so that you don’t repeat them in future. We’ll keep working together as a team. One for all, and all for one, right?” “You’re right. If we 10 together, we should win next time,” Matt smiled. He was lucky to have a friend like Tom! 1．A．short B．long C．angry D．happy 2．A．softly B．carefully C．cheerfully D．noisily 3．A．points B．skills C．records D．clicks 4．A．Until B．Since C．Although D．Whether 5．A．surprised B．excited C．tired D．nervous 6．A．accept B．close C．refuse D．doubt 7．A．hard-working B．careful C．modest D．honest 8．A．everybody B．nobody C．somebody D．anybody 9．A．failures B．mistakes C．memories D．experiences 10．A．pull B．push C．grow D．connect 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 5．A 6．A 7．B 8．A 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文讲述了篮球比赛中Matt因意外推人导致对方罚球得分，球队失利，他陷入深深自责，好友Tom不断安慰并鼓励他从错误中吸取教训、和队友团结努力的故事。 1．句意：“为什么愁眉苦脸的？你还在为周六晚上的比赛难过吗？”Tom说。 后文“Are you still feeling blue”表明Matt心情沮丧，long face为固定搭配，意为“愁眉苦脸”，应用long。short无法与face搭配，angry“生气的”、happy“开心的”均与Matt低落的情绪语境不符。 2．句意：“我当然是了，”Matt轻声说道。他说话时不敢看Tom。 结合前文讲“Matt为周六晚上的比赛而心情低落”以及后文“He didn’t dare (敢) to look at Tom as he spoke.”，Matt说话的状态应是低落、轻柔的，应用softly。carefully“小心地”侧重做事谨慎，cheerfully“开心地”与愧疚的情绪完全相反，noisily“吵闹地”与说话时的“低落与歉意”冲突。 3．句意：“我对让大家失望感到非常抱歉。对方球队得到那些分数，都是因为我。” 结合前文篮球比赛的语境以及后文“When the referee saw Matt push another player, he gave the other team two free throws.”，Matt推人导致对方获得罚球机会，从而得到分数，points“分数”符合比赛场景；skills“技能”、records“记录”、clicks“点击”均与比赛得分的语境无关。 4．句意：“虽然你推了他们的球员，那只是个意外。大家都知道的！” 结合“you pushed their player, it was just an accident.”，前后句为让步关系，空处引导让步状语从句，Although“虽然”符合“推人了但只是意外”的逻辑。Until“直到”表时间，Since“自从，因为”表时间或原因，Whether“是否”表疑问，均不符合语境。 5．句意：事故发生时，Matt和其他人一样惊讶，但已经太晚了。他无法收回自己的行为。 结合前文“it was just an accident”，Matt推人是意外，并非故意，事故发生时，他和在场的其他人一样感到意外，surprised“惊讶的”，符合语境；excited“兴奋的”、tired“疲惫的”、nervous“紧张的”均无法体现“意外发生时的错愕感”。 6．句意：“我想我们不得不接受他的判罚，”过了一会儿Matt说道。 结合“he gave the other team two free throws”“He couldn’t take it back”与常识，裁判已经做出判罚，结果无法改变，只能接受，accept“接受”符合语境，close“关闭”侧重态度认同，refuse“拒绝”、doubt“怀疑”，均与“判罚无法更改”的语境矛盾。 7．句意：“但在我犯那个错误之前，我们本有很大机会赢的。我为什么不能更小心一点呢？” 结合“we had a good chance to win until I made that mistake”说明Matt的犯规导致球队很可惜地丢掉胜利，因此Matt后悔自己犯错，希望自己当时更小心。careful“小心的”符合语境；hard-working“努力的”、modest“谦虚的”、honest“诚实的”均与语境不符。 8．句意：我为我们骄傲，而且我知道我们的教练和学校里的其他人也一样为我们骄傲。 结合上下文“Tom安慰Matt”的语境可知，此处应表达学校的“其他所有人为我们骄傲”，everybody“所有人”符合语境；nobody“没人”、somebody“某人”、anybody“任何人，多用于否定，疑问句”均不符合此处肯定句的语境与表达。 9．句意：从你的错误中学习更为重要，这样你将来就不会再犯同样的错误。 结合前文Matt犯了错，Tom建议从错误中吸取教训。mistakes“错误”与前文Matt提到的“mistake”呼应，符合“避免重复犯”的语境；failures“失败”侧重最终结果，memories“回忆”、experiences“经历”均无法体现“可避免的失误”这一含义。 10．句意：“如果我们齐心协力，下次应该能赢。”Matt笑了。 结合“we should win next time”，此处应表示“齐心协力”，pull together意为“齐心协力、团结协作”，精准对应球队共同努力的语境；push“推”、grow“成长”、connect“连接”均无此搭配，不符合文意。 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During a physics class, our teacher held up a model car and asked us, “Why do cars have brakes(刹车)?” Students gave answers like “To stop the car” or “To control speed.” The teacher smiled and 1 his opinion, “In fact, brakes let us drive 2 and more safely. They give us confidence(信心) to 3 surprising risks on the road.” The answer came as a bit of a 4 to the students. He explained, “If cars had no brakes, would we dare(敢) to drive fast? No way! Brakes help us avoid accidents and harm, 5 when the environment around us changes suddenly. In an emergency, just press the brake, and the car will stop short to keep us safe. Without brakes, you might hit another car or a person, and that would 6 terrible results.” The students grew interested 7 he went on, “In life, we also have ‘brakes’. When parents or teachers set 8 for us, we might feel they are holding us back. But like good brakes, these rules stop us from making careless mistakes. They are there to make sure of our safety. Sometimes we need to slow down to move forward better. The rules are not to stop us, but to help us 9 .” At last, he said, looking around the class, “When you are unhappy with some rules, remember they are like brakes. They help you move forward faster and safer, protecting you from life’s troubles and guiding you towards 10 . The brakes in life are not there to hold you back, but to set you free to move forward with courage and wisdom.” 1．A．told B．shouted C．shared D．completed 2．A．faster B．slower C．earlier D．later 3．A．agree with B．deal with C．compare with D．communicate with 4．A．surprise B．joy C．sadness D．beauty 5．A．only B．ever C．specially D．especially 6．A．shout at B．lead to C．feel like D．hope for 7．A．if B．as C．until D．unless 8．A．examples B．goals C．rules D．time 9．A．grow B．discuss C．imagine D．admire 10．A．trouble B．pleasure C．ending D．success 【答案】 1．C 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．D 6．B 7．B 8．C 9．A 10．D 【导语】本文通过物理课上老师用汽车刹车类比生活中的规则，说明规则不是为了限制我们，而是为了让我们更安全、更快地前进，帮助我们成长并走向成功。 1．句意：老师微笑着“分享”了他的观点。 动词辨析。“told”意为“告诉”，后面通常接双宾语；“shouted”意为“大喊”；“shared”意为“分享”；“completed”意为“完成”。句中老师说“his opinion”（他的观点），应选“shared”，表示“分享他的观点”。 2．句意：实际上，刹车让我们开得“更快”且更安全。 上下文推理。老师先说刹车让我们开得更什么、更安全。后文提到“drive fast”（开快），如果没有刹车就不敢开快。因此刹车让我们能开得更“快”且安全，“faster”符合逻辑。 3．句意：它们给我们信心去“处理”路上的意外风险。 句中“deal with surprising risks”意为“处理意想不到的风险”。刹车给人信心去应对路上的突发风险。 4．句意：这个回答让学生们感到有些“意外”。 老师对刹车的解释不同于学生常见的回答，所以学生感到意外。“a bit of a surprise”意为“有点意外”。 5．句意：刹车帮助我们避免事故和伤害，“尤其是”当周围环境突然变化时。 “especially”意为“尤其是”，用于强调特定情况。原文“when the environment around us changes suddenly”是一种特殊情形，刹车尤其在这种时候帮助我们。“specially”意为“专门地”，不符合，因为刹车的设置并不只有这一个目的。 6．句意：那会“导致”可怕的后果。 动词短语辨析。“lead to”意为“导致”。前文说如果没有刹车可能撞到车或人，这种行为会“导致”糟糕的后果。“shout at”对……大喊；“feel like”感觉像；“hope for”希望，均不符合。 7．句意：随着他继续讲，学生们变得感兴趣起来。 连词辨析。“as”意为“当……的时候”或“随着”。句中“The students grew interested as he went on”表示“随着他继续讲，学生们变得感兴趣起来”。“if”如果；“until”直到；“unless”除非，不符合句意。 8．句意：当父母或老师为我们设定“规则”时。 下文“But like good brakes, these rules stop us from making careless mistakes.”明确提到“rules”（规则）。因此父母或老师为我们设定的应该是“rules”。“examples”例子；“goals”目标；“time”时间，均不符合语境。 9．句意：规则不是为了阻止我们，而是为了帮助我们“成长”。 动词辨析。“grow”意为“成长”。前文说规则不是为了阻止我们，而是为了帮助我们。结合全文主旨，规则帮助我们在人生道路上“成长”。“discuss”讨论；“imagine”想象；“admire”钦佩，均不符合语境。 10．句意：保护你远离生活的麻烦，引导你走向“成功”。 最后一句说生活中的 “刹车”，并非为了拖慢你前行的脚步，而是让你从容前行，强调前行，与“success”对应。“trouble”麻烦；“pleasure”快乐；“ending”结局，都不符合主旨。 Modern cities seem to grow larger and larger. Sometimes people 1 drive or take underground rides to work, exercise or have fun. Many people are now considering what our world would be like in the future. In recent years, a group of architects (建筑师) from the Republic of Korea have 2 a “10-minute city”. They will design a city 3 many functional (功能性的) areas, including living areas, study rooms, offices and entertainment areas. With only a 10-minute walk, people can 4 all these places. The idea of such a city is not 5 . About 10 years ago, French professor Carlos Moreno put forward the “15-minute city” idea. Moreno noticed that with a lot of cars running in cities, people spend 6 time getting around. He said that his “15-minute city” would change that and offer a 7 life with shorter distances (距离). Obviously, most people are interested in the idea because they are hoping for a 8 life, with more facilities around their communities. But not everyone agrees with the idea. Some people worry that such cities will face further pressure in the best area and may 9 high house prices. “Maybe it is time to 10 another choice,” some people said.

Although she got early treatment and had hope for recovery, her vision kept getting 1 day by day. By the age of fourteen, she had completely lost her sight, sinking her into endless darkness. What made her 2 even worse was that she endured (忍受) cruel bullying from some classmates who once were her friends. They laughed at her 3 , isolated her, hurting her deeply. Molly felt sad and hopeless, wondering if she had any 4 in life. However, things took a turn after high school. She took part in a humanitarian (人道主义的) 5 to Africa, helping build a school for poor children. Talking with disadvantaged girls who faced poverty and inequality, she realized many people faced greater 6 but remained strong. Inspired, she found her new 7 for life. She decided to change her pain into 8 to help others. Later, Molly, 9 a world-famous speaker gradually, traveled around the world, shared her story and motivated (激励) those sufferers to be tough.

Did you ever think that someone was just 1 because they looked different, or ate strange food? Well, they might 2 the same thing about you! One of the most important things that we all need to do is to celebrate the differences. Instead of judging too quickly, we should take time to learn and understand. We 3 treat people from other cultures the wrong way. For example, has your whole 4 ever been blamed (责备) for something that your little sister did? In fact, it’s not 5 to blame a whole culture for what only two or three people did. A few people’s actions cannot stand for everyone from that culture. So you can do the following things to help yourself 6 other cultures. Just remember, even though some people look different on the outside, that doesn’t 7 what they are like on the inside. We all have the same 8 ! We all feel joy, sadness, love and fear, no matter where we come from. Try to make friends with people from different cultures.

When I first heard other players call the name, I knew it was a joke, but I still felt 306 Only Eric never called me that. He always tried his best to make me feel at 1 on the team, and helped me practice my skills on the ice. I felt everyone else saw me as a 2 little boy—after all, they could lift me with just one arm. One day, we played against another team. Their players were all huge and strong, and I was 3 that any of them could take my puck easily. In the middle of the game, I held the puck tight (紧地) and skated fast, then 4 it to Eric. He was about to catch it when the biggest player from the other team hit him. 5 Eric fell down hard on the cold ice. To our 6 , the player laughed at him instead of stopping to help. I felt angry seeing someone act so badly to my friend. I skated straight towards him, and 7 ,“you must say sorry to him!" He said no and tried to skate away, but I reached him quickly. I continued to follow him, and wouldn’t let him run off. I stood in his way to 8 him from leaving, again and again. Finally, he had to say sorry to Eric. From that moment, everything changed. My teammates realized that 9 I might be small, I had my own strengths (长处). They never used that nickname again. They told me they had never seen someone so small stand up so bravely. That day became a happy memory for me, a turning point where I found my place and my calm on the ice. 1．A．calm B．happy C．sad D．nervous 2．A．school B．home C．work D．team 3．A．weak B．strong C．shy D．kind 4．A．surprised B．confident C．afraid D．glad 5．A．showed B．brought C．passed D．threw 6．A．Suddenly B．Slowly C．Closely D．Carefully 7．A．happiness B．sadness C．surprise D．pity 8．A．advised B．asked C．replied D．shouted 9．A．catch B．keep C．prevent D．watch 10．A．since B．until C．though D．because Light rain continued to fall as I arrived at the mountain village. With a heavy bag on my back, I was excited to teach at a small school here, but a little 1 . What would these students be like? The school had only 18 students. Most were quiet, 2 they ran and laughed at break. One girl, Wen, always sat alone in the corner, seldom saying anything. On my first day in the classroom, I shared with them a 3 with the words “You are seen” on it and put it up on the wall. Some smiled shyly and some spoke quietly. “That’s why I’m here,” I said. However, Wen didn’t 4 . She was just drawing circles on the desk with her finger. Days passed quickly. The lessons were 5 planned. The children were kind. But my effort seemed to make little difference. I was not sure if I was doing anything 6 . One night, a heavy storm caused a power cut, leaving the classroom in darkness. As everyone was frozen, a soft light appeared. It was Wen who was holding a 7 in her hand. “We can still read,” she said in a low voice. That was the first time I heard her voice. The next day, she sat 8 to her classmates. In the following days, she began to talk more. In my last class, she came up and gave me the lantern. “So you will always have some 9 ,” she smiled gently. I came to give light, but found it was quietly 10 . Volunteering isn’t always loud or big. Sometimes, it’s a quiet lantern—shared between the two, and shining in both directions. 1．A．bored B．relaxed C．worried D．surprised 2．A．though B．so C．since D．when 3．A．dictionary B．poster C．book D．tool 4．A．stand up B．give up C．wake up D．look up 5．A．slowly B．carefully C．directly D．finally 6．A．simple B．interesting C．popular D．meaningful 7．A．book B．lantern C．candle D．lamp 8．A．farther B．lower C．closer D．longer 9．A．fun B．time C．light D．hope 10．A．returned B．collected C．connected D．accepted Once upon a time, there was a farmer who lost his watch in his barn (谷仓).

He went out and asked for 3 from a group of children playing nearby. He 4 them that the person who found the lost watch would be rewarded (奖励). Hearing this, the children ran into the barn 5 . After trying for a long time, the children were not able to find the 6 . They felt tired and left. Just when the farmer was going to lose heart, a little boy went up to him and asked to be given another 7 . The farmer looked at him and thought for a while, “Why not? After all, this kid looks honest enough.” So the farmer 8 the little boy back into the barn. After some time, the little boy came out with the watch in his hand! The surprised farmer asked the boy how he made it when the rest failed. The boy replied, “I did nothing but 9 on the ground. In the silence, I was able to hear the ticking of the watch and just followed the sound.” A 10 mind can think better than an excited one.

That’s what happened to some students at Shenzhen Bao’an Middle School. A koel was singing 1 outside their windows in the tree, day and night. As Gaokao was coming soon, a stressed student wrote a letter to the principal and asked to have the bird’s nest removed. Principal Yuan Weixing found himself at a crossroads. To do or not to do?

He also said that 5 to live with nature is a necessary part of growing up. Without it, one’s growth would not be 6 . But Yuan did not just say “no.” He also took action to help the students. The school gave students earplugs (耳塞) to 7 the sound. Meanwhile, the school built man-made bird nests in a garden far from the classroom buildings to attract the birds away.

She was excited to become a grandmother, 2 she was worried as well. That was because her daughter’s family lived more than 800 miles away. Lisa knew that keeping the relationship with her grandkids from a long distance would be difficult, and maybe 3 impossible. “They had our first grandson in 2008,” Lisa said. “ 4 they announced was amazing but hard on my heart. I simply 5 not understand how I would be a long-distance grandma.” But Lisa wasn’t prevented from the challenge. 6 , she came up with an idea right away.

Many friends thought he was crazy because flying is both faster and 1 . But he wanted to experience the country’s changes in person after spending 16 years working abroad. The 2,266-kilometer journey from Shanghai to Kunming now takes about nine and a half hours, which used to take over thirty hours. From the train window, he enjoyed the changing landscapes of mountains, rivers and cities 2 several provinces. China’s “lucid waters and lush mountains” campaign has 3 great results. Chen no longer saw the thick smoke that once came from factories. 4 , some farmers still burn straw (麦秆) in open fields, which causes pollution problems. In Kunming, he visited historic universities and military schools that played 5 roles in modern Chinese history. He also went to a small town nearby, which is the 6 of many Yunnan ethnic cultures. Later, in Dali, he 7 the view of Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain.Many people, both Chinese and foreigners, have 8 to Dali for its peaceful lifestyle.

He and Tom were in the school’s basketball team. “Why the 1 face? Are you still feeling blue about Saturday night’s game?” Tom asked. “Of course I am,” Matt said 2 . He didn’t dare (敢) to look at Tom as he spoke. “I’m really sorry about letting everybody down. The other team got those 3 because of me.” “Don’t be too hard on yourself!” Tom said. “ 4 you pushed their player, it was just an accident. Everyone knows that!” Tom was a good friend. But Matt knew the referee (裁判) didn’t share Tom’s opinion. When the referee saw Matt push another player, he gave the other team two free throws. Matt was as 5 as anyone else when the accident happened, but it was too late. He couldn’t take it back. “I guess we have to 6 his decision,” Matt said after a while. “But we had a good chance to win until I made that mistake. Why wasn’t I more 7 ?” “Listen, Matt,” said Tom, “try to look on the bright side. The other team is the best in our area, but our scores were really close. I’m proud of us, and I know our coach and 8 else in our school are as well.” Matt felt a bit better. “Thanks, Tom. I guess it’s just hard to lose.” “Hey, you can’t win them all,” said Tom. “It’s more important to learn from your 9 so that you don’t repeat them in future. We’ll keep working together as a team.

They give us confidence(信心) to 3 surprising risks on the road.” The answer came as a bit of a 4 to the students. He explained, “If cars had no brakes, would we dare(敢) to drive fast? No way! Brakes help us avoid accidents and harm, 5 when the environment around us changes suddenly. In an emergency, just press the brake, and the car will stop short to keep us safe. Without brakes, you might hit another car or a person, and that would 6 terrible results.” The students grew interested 7 he went on, “In life, we also have ‘brakes’. When parents or teachers set 8 for us, we might feel they are holding us back. But like good brakes, these rules stop us from making careless mistakes. They are there to make sure of our safety. Sometimes we need to slow down to move forward better. The rules are not to stop us, but to help us 9 .” At last, he said, looking around the class, “When you are unhappy with some rules, remember they are like brakes. They help you move forward faster and safer, protecting you from life’s troubles and guiding you towards 10 .

Sometimes people 1 drive or take underground rides to work, exercise or have fun. Many people are now considering what our world would be like in the future. In recent years, a group of architects (建筑师) from the Republic of Korea have 2 a “10-minute city”. They will design a city 3 many functional (功能性的) areas, including living areas, study rooms, offices and entertainment areas. With only a 10-minute walk, people can 4 all these places. The idea of such a city is not 5 . About 10 years ago, French professor Carlos Moreno put forward the “15-minute city” idea. Moreno noticed that with a lot of cars running in cities, people spend 6 time getting around. He said that his “15-minute city” would change that and offer a 7 life with shorter distances (距离). Obviously, most people are interested in the idea because they are hoping for a 8 life, with more facilities around their communities. But not everyone agrees with the idea. Some people worry that such cities will face further pressure in the best area and may 9 high house prices. “Maybe it is time to 10 another choice,” some people said.
