Then one day, our school announced (宣布) a 2 competition. No one wanted to join in because the notice came out so 3 . Therefore, we picked names from a box. Unluckily, my name was 4 . When the teacher called out my name, my heart dropped. I felt so 5 that I had a stomachache all day. When I 6 the competition room, I saw the judges (裁判) and some other students. I sat in a corner, away from everyone else. My mind was racing with 7 . What if I make a mistake and everyone 8 me? What if the judge stops me halfway? What if ... Everything 9 when a student said, “Sorry, I give up.” I started to notice the other students. Some were pacing back and forth. Some were 10 to themselves. Some were just looking at nothing. I wasn’t the only one who was 11 . I used to believe that some people were just naturally 12 public speaking. But now I realized that nobody is 13 a good speaker. What made me feel even better was that after the competition began, no one was laughed at or asked to 14 because of some mistakes. Then it was my turn. I gathered my 15 and walked onto the stage. My heart was beating fast and sweat rolled down my forehead. But this time, I wasn’t afraid of the challenge anymore. 1．A．plan B．fact C．thought D．sign 2．A．race B．speech C．drawing D．writing 3．A．suddenly B．specially C．exactly D．clearly 4．A．hidden B．forgotten C．stuck D．chosen 5．A．happy B．lucky C．worried D．bored 6．A．entered B．cleaned C．decorated D．repaired 7．A．hopes B．doubts C．thanks D．surprises 8．A．waited for B．depended on C．listened to D．laughed at 9．A．appeared B．worked C．finished D．changed 10．A．whispering B．shouting C．smiling D．devoting 11．A．energetic B．calm C．nervous D．excited 12．A．tired of B．good at C．similar to D．busy with 13．A．known B．born C．raised D．shaped 14．A．leave B．repeat C．practice D．explain 15．A．trust B．envy C．courage D．fear 【答案】 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．C 6．A 7．B 8．D 9．D 10．A 11．C 12．B 13．B 14．A 15．C 【导语】本文讲述了作者害怕公开演讲，被迫参加演讲比赛后，通过观察其他选手，克服恐惧，最终勇敢面对挑战的故事。 1．句意：即使在课堂上举手这个念头都会让我发抖。 作者十分害怕公开演讲，此处表示“哪怕只是想到上课举手都会让我发抖”，thought“想法”符合语境，thought of表示“想到”。 2．句意：然后有一天，我们学校宣布了一场演讲比赛。 根据下文作者进入比赛房间、有评委、登台演讲等情节，可知这是一场“演讲”比赛，应选用speech。 3．句意：没有人想参加，因为通知来得太突然了。 没人愿意报名，因为通知发布得很突然，大家都没准备，suddenly“突然”符合逻辑。 4．句意：不幸的是，我的名字被抽中了。 根据上文从盒子里抽名字，可知他的名字被“选”中了，应选用chosen。 5．句意：我感到非常担心，以至于一整天都胃痛。 作者害怕演讲，抽到自己后担心得一整天胃疼，worried“担忧的”符合情绪。 6．句意：当我进入比赛房间时，我看到了评委和其他一些学生。 作者进入比赛场地，才见到裁判和其他选手，entered“进入”正确。 7．句意：我的脑海里充满了疑虑。 作者脑子里全是“万一出错怎么办”的疑虑，doubts“疑惑，疑虑”符合语境。 8．句意：如果我犯了错，大家都嘲笑我怎么办？ 根据作者的恐惧心理，他担心被“嘲笑”，应选用laughed at。 9．句意：当一个学生说“抱歉，我放弃”时，一切发生了变化。 下文作者开始观察其他同学，发现大家都很紧张，他的心态因此“改变”了，应选用changed。 10．句意：有些人在自言自语。 紧张的选手会对着自己小声嘀咕练习，whispering“低语，小声说”符合场景。 11．句意：我不是唯一一个紧张的人。 根据上文观察到其他同学也在踱步、自言自语等紧张表现，可知作者意识到自己不是唯一“紧张”的人，应选用nervous。 12．句意：我曾经认为有些人天生擅长演讲。 作者过去认为有些人天生就擅长公开演讲，be good at“擅长”符合语境。 13．句意：但现在我意识到没有人生来就是优秀的演讲者。 作者通过观察比赛发现每个人都会紧张，从而否定了“天生擅长”的看法，转而认识到演讲能力并非与生俱来，而是靠后天训练培养的。born意为“天生的、与生俱来的”，与“naturally”形成呼应。 14．句意：让我感觉更好的是，比赛开始后，没有人因为一些错误而被嘲笑或被要求离开。 没人会因为犯错被嘲笑或者要求离开赛场，leave“离开”符合语境。 15．句意：我鼓起勇气，走上舞台。 作者鼓起勇气走上舞台，courage“勇气”符合语义，gather one’s courage是固定搭配，意为“鼓起勇气”。 “Why did we pick today for this? I should be staying at home, having a birthday party, and lots of birthday gifts are waiting for me!” I said to Dad, a little unhappy. Six miles into our bird-watching trip in Happy Forest Park, we were in 1 . In the morning, we set out in 2 weather. Birds were singing along the way while we enjoyed the sunshine. But storm clouds came unexpectedly. “I checked the weather, but the app didn’t 3 us,” Dad explained. Mom comforted me, “Don’t worry, and maybe you’ll get a nicer 4 for your birthday.” “Really?” I forced a smile. “Find shelter (遮蔽)!” Dad shouted as the heavy rain poured down. We 5 a rest area nearby and rushed there. The wind blew hard and I felt cold. I found I’d forgotten to take my emergency rescue blanket (紧急救生毯) when I 6 my bag. “Ta-da! Look!” Dad pulled out a blanket from his bag and put it over us. “Let’s 7 ,” he added. Mom brought out a packet of cookies. “ 8 makes everything better,” she said, passing them around. Her calmness helped me breathe (呼吸) 9 . Half an hour passed, but the rain didn’t stop. We had to 10 the trip and return. The ground was wet, so Dad kept reminding us to be slow and 11 . He suggested we hold on to the trees in order not to 12 . The sky grew dark, so we couldn’t see the road clearly. “Are we... 13 ?” I asked. Dad took out a compass (指南针) from his magic bag. “See this? Always 14 one,” he said, “North is that way.” Then he guided us with a flashlight. We finally got to the car park and drove home safely. On arriving home, we got into warm clothes. “The weather in the mountains changes anytime. Luckily, with good 15 , we made the trip safe and sound. High five!” Dad said while we were drinking hot chocolate. “And this unusual trip is the best birthday gift I got today,” I smiled to Mom. 1．A．joy B．peace C．trouble D．place 2．A．sunny B．cloudy C．snowy D．rainy 3．A．warn B．greet C．trick D．fail 4．A．cake B．course C．program D．gift 5．A．missed B．noticed C．built D．reached 6．A．closed B．searched C．dropped D．tidied 7．A．shout B．jump C．share D．continue 8．A．Medicine B．Drink C．Exercise D．Food 9．A．quickly B．loudly C．easily D．heavily 10．A．wait for B．take up C．pay for D．give up 11．A．careful B．friendly C．silent D．active 12．A．sit B．sleep C．fall D．run 13．A．lost B．hurt C．busy D．late 14．A．buy B．borrow C．raise D．carry 15．A．imagination B．preparation C．invitation D．situation 【答案】 1．C 2．A 3．A 4．D 5．B 6．B 7．C 8．D 9．C 10．D 11．A 12．C 13．A 14．D 15．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者生日当天与家人观鸟遇暴雨，凭借充分准备安全回家，并感悟到这次经历是最好礼物的故事。 1．句意：在快乐森林公园观鸟六英里后，我们遇到了麻烦。 后文出现突如其来的暴风雨，说明一行人遭遇困境，trouble表示“麻烦、困境”；joy“快乐”、peace“平静”、place“地点”，均不符合语境。 2．句意：早上，我们在晴朗的天气里出发了。 后文出现sunshine阳光，对应出发时是晴天，sunny表示“晴朗的”；cloudy“多云的”、snowy“下雪的”、rainy“下雨的”，都和阳光场景矛盾。 3．句意：“我查看了天气，但应用程序没有提醒我们，”爸爸解释道。 结合前文提前查看天气，但是没能预知暴雨，warn表示“警告、提醒”；greet“问候”、trick“欺骗”、fail“失败”，语义都不通顺。 4．句意：妈妈安慰我：“别担心，也许你会得到一份更好的生日礼物。” 前文主人公原本期待生日礼物，gift对应生日礼物；cake“蛋糕”、course“课程”、program“节目”，都无法呼应前文生日礼物的伏笔。 5．句意：我们注意到附近有一个休息区，就冲了过去。 后文一行人冲向休息区避雨，noticed表示“注意到”；missed“错过”、built“建造”、reached“抵达”，不符合发现地点再奔赴的动作逻辑。 6．句意：当我翻包的时候，我发现我忘了带紧急救生毯。 根据后文背包、遗忘毯子的语境，searched表示“搜寻、翻找”；closed“关闭”、dropped“掉落”、tidied“整理”，都没有查找物品的含义。 7．句意：“让我们分享（毯子），”他补充道。 爸爸拿出毯子给大家共用，share表示“分享、共用”；shout“大喊”、jump“跳跃”、continue“继续”，不符合多人共用毯子的场景。 8．句意：“食物会让一切变得更好，”她说着把饼干递了过来。 曲奇饼干属于食物，Food表示“食物”；Medicine“药品”、Drink“饮品”、Exercise“运动”，均不符合饼干的属性。 9．句意：她的镇定让我呼吸变得轻松。 妈妈的冷静安抚了慌乱的我，easily表示“轻松地、顺畅地”；quickly“快速地”、loudly“大声地”、heavily“沉重地”，都不符合放松平复的状态。 10．句意：我们不得不放弃这次旅行，返程了。 因为大雨不停只能返程，give up表示“放弃”；wait for“等待”、take up“占据”、pay for“支付”，都无法对应终止旅途的行为。 11．句意：地面很湿，所以爸爸一直提醒我们要慢一点，小心一点。 地面湿滑需要谨慎行走，careful表示“小心的”；friendly“友善的”、silent“沉默的”、active“活跃的”，都和安全行路无关。 12．句意：他建议我们抓住树以免摔倒。 抓着树干是为了避免滑倒跌落，fall表示“摔倒”；sit“坐下”、sleep“睡觉”、run“奔跑”，都不是扶树的目的。 13．句意：“我们……迷路了吗？”我问。 后文爸爸拿出指南针辨别方向，说明主人公担心迷路，lost表示“迷路的”；hurt“受伤的”、busy“忙碌的”、late“迟到的”，都和指南针的用途不匹配。 14．句意：“看到这个了吗？要一直带着一个（指南针），”他说，“北方在那边。” 爸爸自己随身携带着指南针，因此建议一直随身携带，carry表示“携带”；buy“购买"、borrow“借用”、raise“筹集”，都不符合随身备用的含义。 15．句意：幸运的是，有了充分的准备，我们平安地完成了这次旅行。 根据前文爸爸带了毯子、指南针、手电筒等物品，可知是有充分的准备，preparation表示“准备”。imagination“想象”、invitation“邀请”、situation“情况”无法概括安全措施。 A young artist once lived in a small town. He was 1 to show his paintings to others because he thought they were not perfect. He didn’t believe in himself 2 an old painter visited him and saw his works. “Being perfect is a mistake, my boy,” the old painter said. “You need to let your art shine instead of 3 it.” 4 the young artist didn’t understand, he decided to follow the old man’s advice. He started to show his paintings in the town square. At first, people 5 at them, but soon, a girl came up and said, “Your creative colors are so 6 that they make me happy.” Her words made the artist feel proud inside. Encouraged by the girl, the artist put more effort into painting. Weeks later, he 7 brought his works to the attention of a gallery (画廊) owner and he wanted to 8 them. The young artist was surprised. “But they’re not perfect,” he said. The owner smiled, “Beauty isn’t about being perfect—it’s about expressing emotions. You impressed me 9 your rich true feelings in the works.” The artist’s works became more and more popular. He learned that true art comes from 10 , not fear of imperfection. One day, he met the old painter again. “Thank you for teaching me to 11 my art,” he said. The old painter replied, “Art is like a flower. It needs to turn to the sun, not stay in the shadow, 12 it may die. And remember, every stroke (笔触) tells a 13 .” He finally understood 14 the old painter meant. Now, the young artist is a great success. He knows that no work is ever truly perfect, but every work can be 15 if you are brave to share it. So he always tells young artists, “Don’t let the fear of imperfection stop you from creating beauty.” 1．A．ready B．afraid C．happy D．excited 2．A．while B．as C．until D．when 3．A．selling B．protecting C．showing D．hiding 4．A．Although B．After C．If D．Before 5．A．pointed B．laughed C．shouted D．knocked 6．A．boring B．common C．lively D．dark 7．A．hardly B．almost C．nearly D．successfully 8．A．buy B．burn C．draw D．return 9．A．for B．with C．of D．by 10．A．confidence B．carelessness C．laziness D．shyness 11．A．donate B．give up C．show off D．share 12．A．and B．or C．that D．so 13．A．lie B．secret C．story D．joke 14．A．it B．that C．how D．what 15．A．ugly B．useless C．valuable D．peaceful 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．B 6．C 7．D 8．A 9．B 10．A 11．D 12．B 13．C 14．D 15．C 【导语】 本文讲述了一位年轻画家因追求完美而不敢展示作品，在老画家的开导和一位女孩的鼓励下，勇敢分享自己的画作，最终获得成功的故事，传达了“艺术源于真情流露而非完美”的道理。 1．句意：他害怕向别人展示他的画作，因为他认为它们不够完美。 根据下文“he thought they were not perfect”可知，他因不自信而害怕展示。afraid“害怕的”，符合语境。ready“准备好的”；happy“快乐的”；excited“兴奋的”，均不符合“害怕展示”的语义。 2．句意：直到一位老画家来看他的作品，他才相信自己。 根据句意，他原本不相信自己，直到老画家来访才有所改变，应用until“直到”表示“直到……才”。while“当……时”；as“因为/当”；when“当……时”，均不符合“直到某时才发生”的逻辑。 3．句意：你需要让你的艺术闪耀光芒，而不是隐藏它。 根据上文“Being perfect is a mistake”及老画家的建议可知，他之前把画藏起来不敢展示，应“停止隐藏”。hiding“隐藏”，符合语境。selling“卖”；protecting“保护”；showing“展示”，均不符合“不再藏匿作品”的语义。 4．句意：虽然年轻画家并不理解，但他决定遵循老人的建议。 前句说“didn’t understand”（不理解），后句说“decided to follow”（决定听从），前后为让步关系，应用Although“虽然”引导让步状语从句。After“在……之后”；If“如果”；Before“在……之前”，均不符合让步逻辑。 5．句意：起初，人们嘲笑它们。 根据“At first”及下文“but soon, a girl came up and said...”可知，起初人们的态度是不友好的。laughed“嘲笑”，符合语境。pointed“指向”；shouted“大喊”；knocked“敲”，均不符合“不友好的态度”的语义。 6．句意：你富有创意的色彩如此生动，让我感到快乐。 根据“make me happy”可知，色彩给人带来愉悦感，应描述为生动的。lively“生动的”，符合语境。boring“无聊的”；common“普通的”；dark“黑暗的”，均不符合“让人快乐”的语义。 7．句意：几周后，他成功地引起了画廊老板的注意。 根据下文“wanted to buy them”可知，他成功地将作品展示给了画廊老板。successfully“成功地”，符合语境。hardly“几乎不”；almost“几乎”；nearly“将近”，均不符合“成功引起注意”的语义。 8．句意：他想买下它们。 根据上文“brought his works to the attention of a gallery owner”及下文“The young artist was surprised”可知，画廊老板想购买他的画。buy“买”，符合语境。burn“烧”；draw“画”；return“归还”，均不符合“画廊老板购买画作”的语义。 9．句意：你用作品中丰富而真实的情感打动了我。 impress sb. with sth.为固定搭配，意为“用某事给某人留下深刻印象”，应用介词with。for“为了”；of“……的”；by“通过”，均不符合此固定搭配。 10．句意：他明白了真正的艺术源于自信，而不是对不完美的恐惧。 根据全文主旨——从不敢展示到勇敢分享可知，他最终获得了自信。confidence“自信”，符合语境。carelessness“粗心”；laziness“懒惰”；shyness“害羞”，均不符合“勇敢分享”的内在品质。 11．句意：谢谢你教会我分享我的艺术。 根据上文“let your art shine”及全文“勇敢展示作品”可知，老画家教会他的是分享。share“分享”，符合语境。donate“捐赠”；give up“放弃”；show off“炫耀”，均不符合“公开分享艺术作品”的语义。 12．句意：艺术就像花朵，它需要转向太阳而不是留在阴影中，否则它可能会凋谢。 前句说需要面向阳光，后句说可能会凋谢，前后为“否则”的警示关系，应用or“否则”。and“和”；that“那”；so“所以”，均不符合“否则会有不好后果”的逻辑。 13．句意：记住，每一笔触都讲述一个故事。 根据“every stroke tells a...”及艺术创作的语境可知，每一笔都承载着故事。story“故事”，符合语境。lie“谎言”；secret“秘密”；joke“笑话”，均不符合“笔触表达内容”的语义。 14．句意：他终于明白了那位老画家的意思。 understood后接宾语从句，从句中meant缺少宾语，应用what引导，意为“……的话/意思”。it指代不明；that在从句中不作成分；how表示方式，均不符合“明白所说内容”的语义。 15．句意：但如果你勇敢地去分享，每件作品都可以是有价值的。 根据全文主旨及“if you are brave to share it”可知，勇敢分享使作品有价值。valuable“有价值的”，符合语境。ugly“丑陋的”；useless“无用的”；peaceful“和平的”，均不符合“分享带来价值”的语义。 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 I suppose everyone has something they don’t like about themselves. For me, it was the birthmark (胎记) on my 1 . It was bright red, the colour of a strawberry. Sometimes, I felt people 2 looking at my face. But when I turned my head, they looked away. On crowded buses and trains, it felt just like a 3 . With so many people around me, my birthmark burnt red hot. So I always kept my hair long to 4 it until that day. It was a cloudy morning. A new student named Maddie arrived in our class. 5 sat right beside me. Instead of looking away, Maddie studied my face. This made me so 6 . Clouds came through the window and filled my heart. Suddenly, she said something that I would 7 forget. “Sally, right?” she said. “You have a red 8 on your face. How beautiful!” I looked up and met her 9 eyes. Although I only replied “thank you”, it turned 10 in my heart. When I got home, I rushed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror happily for the 11 time. This time I could 12 my birthmark without quickly turning away. The 13 of it was truly like a flower. The next day, to my surprise, Maddie painted a red rose on her own face! I haven’t told Maddie the whole story yet. Anyway, she has 14 me. I have already learnt that I am what I am. Everyone has something 15 and different. That is what’s interesting. 1．A．arm B．leg C．neck D．face 2．A．patiently B．crazily C．secretly D．politely 3．A．lifestyle B．disaster C．celebration D．championship 4．A．cover B．wash C．touch D．show 5．A．She B．You C．He D．We 6．A．energetic B．serious C．nervous D．excited 7．A．often B．never C．usually D．always 8．A．rose B．heart C．cloud D．strawberry 9．A．tiring B．smiling C．boring D．worrying 10．A．cloudy B．windy C．foggy D．sunny 11．A．last B．next C．right D．first 12．A．laugh at B．dream of C．look at D．show off 13．A．size B．shape C．type D．position 14．A．hurt B．chosen C．changed D．visited 15．A．smart B．modest C．useful D．special 【答案】 1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．B 10．D 11．D 12．C 13．B 14．C 15．D 【导语】本文讲述了主人公因脸上的红色胎记而自卑，新同学Maddie夸赞她的胎记像红玫瑰，这让主人公学会接纳自己的与众不同，迎来了内心的成长。 1．句意：对我来说，困扰我的是我脸上的胎记。 后文“looking at my face、studied my face、on your face”多次出现face，锁定胎记长在脸上。应选用face，表示“脸”，完全匹配后文多处面部相关语境。arm“手臂”、leg“腿”、neck“脖子”，后文无对应身体部位线索，与上下文不符。 2．句意：有时，我感觉人们正偷偷打量我的脸。 后句“But when I turned my head, they looked away”，说明别人偷偷看，被发现就移开视线。应选用secretly，表示“偷偷地”，符合旁人躲闪目光的行为逻辑。patiently“耐心地”、crazily“疯狂地”、politely“礼貌地”，均无法体现“偷看后躲闪”的状态。 3．句意：在拥挤的公交和火车上，这感觉就像一场灾难。 前文作者自卑敏感，拥挤人群注视胎记让她难受，内心觉得是糟糕的事。应选用disaster，表示“灾难、糟心事”，贴合自卑压抑的负面心境。lifestyle“生活方式”、celebration“庆祝”、championship“锦标赛”，均为中性 / 褒义词汇，不符合负面情绪语境。 4．句意：所以我总是留长发把它遮盖住，直到那天。 前文作者因胎记自卑，留长发的目的是遮挡胎记。应选用cover，表示“遮盖、遮住”，符合长发遮挡胎记的动作逻辑。wash“清洗”、touch“触摸”、show“展示”，词义与“藏起胎记”的目的相反或无关。 5．句意：她坐在我旁边。 前句“A new student named Maddie”，Maddie是女生，用人称代词she指代。应选用She，第三人称女性主格，指代女生Maddie作句子主语。You“你”、He“他”、We“我们”，人称指代与人物性别不符。 6．句意：麦迪没有移开视线，而是仔细看着我的脸，这让我十分紧张。 前文别人看她都会躲闪，Maddie直视打量她的脸，让自卑的她紧张不安。应选用nervous，表示“紧张的”，贴合自卑者被直视的不安心理。energetic“精力充沛的”、serious“严肃的”、excited“兴奋的”，均无紧张不安的情绪含义。 7．句意：突然，她说了一句我永远不会忘记的话。 后文麦迪夸赞胎记很美，这句话对作者意义重大，是永远不会忘记的话。应选用never，表示“永不”，would never forget意为“永远不会忘记”。often“经常”、usually“通常”、always“总是”，无法表达“终身难忘”的情感强度。 8．句意：“萨莉对吗？” 她说，“你的脸上有一朵红玫瑰，多美啊！” 文末出现“Maddie painted a red rose on her own face”，后文用玫瑰呼应脸上红色印记，形成前后照应。应选用rose，表示“玫瑰”，后文麦迪在脸上画红玫瑰，用玫瑰比喻胎记，前后情节呼应，贴合赞美胎记像花朵的语境。strawberry仅在开头描述胎记颜色，后文无草莓相关情节；heart“心脏”、cloud“云朵”无花朵类意象，和结尾玫瑰情节不呼应。 9．句意：我抬起头，对上了她含笑的眼睛。 麦迪温柔赞美作者，眼神是友善带微笑的。应选用smiling，表示“带着微笑的”，体现友善温柔的氛围。tiring“令人疲惫的”、boring“无聊的”、worrying“担忧的”，均为负面形容词，不符友好语境。 10．句意：尽管我只回答了“谢谢”，但我的内心豁然开朗。 前文内心乌云密布（自卑压抑），收到赞美后内心豁然开朗，阳光明媚。应选用sunny，表示“晴朗的、明媚的”，与前文“Clouds filled my heart”形成对比。cloudy“多云的”、windy“刮风的”、foggy“有雾的”，均是阴沉天气，和心境转变相反。 11．句意：我回到家，冲进浴室，生平第一次开心地看着镜子里的自己。 作者从前一直遮挡胎记，这是她第一次开心地照镜子看胎记。应选用first，for the first time固定搭配，意为“第一次”。last“最后”、next“下一个”、right“正确的”，无法构成该固定短语，语义不通。 12．句意：这一次我可以看着我的胎记而不会迅速转过头去。 从前她看到胎记会立刻移开视线，如今能坦然注视胎记。应选用look at，表示“注视、看着”，贴合照镜子观察胎记的动作。laugh at“嘲笑”、dream of“梦想”、show off“炫耀”，词义与语境完全不匹配。 13．句意：它的形状真的像一朵花。 后文“like a flower”，是形容胎记的外形、形状像花朵。应选用shape，表示“形状、外形”，用来比喻胎记的样貌。size“尺寸”、type“类型”、position“位置”，无法和“像花朵”构成合理描述。 14．句意：我还没把全部心事告诉麦迪，但不管怎样，她改变了我。 从前自卑遮掩胎记，如今接纳自己，麦迪彻底改变了她。应选用changed，表示“改变”，概括麦迪带给她的心态转变。hurt“伤害”、chosen“选择”、visited“拜访”，均无法体现人物内心的转变。 15．句意：我已经明白我就是我，每个人都有属于自己独特又与众不同的地方。 后文“and different”并列，词义相近；全文核心是每个人都有独特与众不同之处。应选用special，表示“特别的、独特的”，与different并列呼应文章主旨。smart“聪明的”、modest“谦虚的”、useful“有用的”，无法和different并列，偏离文章“接纳独特自我”主题。 We lived in a quiet neighborhood. One evening, I heard a loud noise in the street. Earlier, my wife had asked me to go to the 1 to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her 2 , so I sent her to the store in my truck. When hearing the 3 noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted, “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.” My heart sank (下沉) and my mind was 4 with all kinds of thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved (牵连)? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice 5 my heart say, “ Here is a chance to show Holly 6 you really love. She’ll never forget it.” The 7 had happened in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle(车辆), the family van. When I reached her, she was crying and saying, “Oh, Dad. I’m sorry. I know how 8 you love this truck. ” I held her in my arms as she cried. Later that week I told a friend the whole story. 9 eyes moistened (湿润) and she said, “ That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a tree that had fallen 10 the road. When I got home, my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.” Over 40 years later, she still felt the 11 of that night. It was a deep wound (伤) on her soul.

But he didn’t leave. 5 , he sat next to me, put the flower near his nose and said in a surprised voice, “It smells so nice! And it’s 6 too. That’s why I picked it. Here, it’s for you.” The flower in front of me was almost dead. But I knew I had to 7 it, or he might never leave.

At that moment, my voice shook 11 and tears shone in the sun as I thanked him for picking the best flower. ‘You’re welcome,” he smiled and then 12 off to play. He didn’t know how much he had changed my day. I sat there and wondered how he could notice a sad woman under an old tree. Maybe he had true 13 from his heart.

At the end of our 1 , I asked him, “As a writer, you must enjoy writing, right?” “Not always,” he said.

Sometimes, I’m not sure if you and the 4 will like my article. I try to write as well as I can. When I finally look at my work. I feel good about myself.” Alex’s 5 made me think of a trip ten years ago. My friends and I were halfway up Mount Hua after a short 6 . We got off the bus happily. It was a rainy day, and the mountain is famous for its steepness (陡峭). As we 7 at its peaks (顶峰), some of us thought of giving up. “You’ll feel sorry about your choice,” our guide said as he 8 us to keep going. Soon, we arrived at “Yaozi Fanshen”. It’s the most famous and 9 attraction on East Peak. We climbed up the almost vertical (垂直的) rock face by 10 at the iron chains (铁链). It tired us out. But when we looked back, we felt 11 . We finally 12 three peaks of Mount Hua that day. In some places, we even took the 13 way. We found that the more 14 the climb was, the more pride we felt.

He realized he was tricked into the race. He froze there, 5 . The race started, and to everyone’s 6 , Tim began to jog. It was not fast.

His classmates, who had once 12 him, were now clapping and shouting his name. Tim smiled. It didn’t matter that he hadn’t 13 the race. He had finished, and that was more than he ever thought 14 .

Encouraged by the girl, the artist put more effort into painting. Weeks later, he 7 brought his works to the attention of a gallery (画廊) owner and he wanted to 8 them. The young artist was surprised. “But they’re not perfect,” he said. The owner smiled, “Beauty isn’t about being perfect—it’s about expressing emotions. You impressed me 9 your rich true feelings in the works.” The artist’s works became more and more popular. He learned that true art comes from 10 , not fear of imperfection. One day, he met the old painter again. “Thank you for teaching me to 11 my art,” he said. The old painter replied, “Art is like a flower. It needs to turn to the sun, not stay in the shadow, 12 it may die. And remember, every stroke (笔触) tells a 13 .” He finally understood 14 the old painter meant.

A new student named Maddie arrived in our class. 5 sat right beside me. Instead of looking away, Maddie studied my face. This made me so 6 . Clouds came through the window and filled my heart. Suddenly, she said something that I would 7 forget. “Sally, right?” she said. “You have a red 8 on your face. How beautiful!” I looked up and met her 9 eyes. Although I only replied “thank you”, it turned 10 in my heart. When I got home, I rushed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror happily for the 11 time.
