Our 29 5 were safe in the henhouse on a small hill — or so we thought. Suddenly we heard 6 squawking (尖叫). Our chickens sensed danger 7 the flood waters rose dangerously close to their home. Their squawking was loud. Suddenly, we saw a small boat with two 8 rowing towards us through the pouring rain. Maybe they could save our hens. The chickens were shoved into boxes and taped closed. Then, a few boxes of hens at a time were put in the boat and 9 to the safety of our tractor shed (拖拉机棚). It was 10 egg laying time, and the shed was warm and dry. We hung nets to keep the hens inside and used boxes as nests. We tore newspapers to make the nests comfortable. Twenty-four hours and a disturbing noise of chicken poo (鸡屎) later, the complaints were coming 11 from the hens. The tractors weren’t comfortable for resting, and the nesting boxes, well, excuse me, 12 where were the soft wood shavings (刨花) they normally sat on to lay their eggs? 13 the floodwaters subsided (回落) before there was a total revolt (起义)! While they were happily nesting back in Fowl Manor (家禽庄园), it took us many days to 14 the tractors — it is 15 just how much mess 29 hens can make!

Just remove any thoughts in your mind. Go and 11 yourself. We believe you can do it.” Raghu took a few deep breaths and said to himself, “You are 12 than what you think. You can do this.” He 13 the stage. As he started his speech, his voice 14 the attention of everyone in the hall. He 15 the speech and gradually went into the flow.

In reality, some children find no interest in history, while others consider history as one of the most 1 courses they have ever learned. To 2 all school students to learn history, teachers should change the ways of lecture delivery. One method is to 3 modern technology. Teachers should provide children 4 Internet-based computers to help them get instant access to the huge resources on the Internet. In this way, it takes them only a few minutes to search for the information online, and another few minutes to 5 it with their friends on social media platforms. In addition, children love cartoons. Therefore, teachers should 6 lectures in the form of animation videos 7 depending only on textbooks, which may put a sense of 8 on children's history-learning process. This way enables children to remember lectures easily. Another 9 is to visit historical sites more often. Since children may get 10 when teachers only request them to read books all day, taking them to the real historical places seems to be better. A historical site includes real objects or tools, 11 students' attitudes towards history in a positive way.

Sometimes a 1 not a friend or a loved one can significantly improve our day. A pleasant 2 with someone we don’t know, even a silent one, can soothe (抚慰) us.

I 4 the woman next to me and said, “Hey, would you mind talking with me for a few minutes? I’m really 5 .” We hadn’t spoken much during the flight 6 the brief greetings.

And I suddenly felt anxious for a 7 with others. “Sure, my name is Sue Pernick.” the woman replied with a warm smile. “What brings you to Boston?” I started to explain that I was on a business trip. Then the plane trembled violently, and I blurted out (脱口而出) , “I might need to 8 your hand.” She took my hand in both of hers, patted it, and held on 9 . When Sue took my hand on that 10 flight to Boston, I almost 11 with relief. Her firm hold kept me safe like a lifeline. She was so 12 and soothing. “Yes, this is a little bumpy, but we’ll be on the ground safely soon,” she told me. Her gentle smile and the way she held my trembling hand will never 13 from my memory.

It perfectly 10 me. I enjoy having my big family over, but I often feel tired afterward. My favorite way to recharge (充电) is to 11 with a good book. At that moment, it 12 me that I had just misunderstood my own personality for my whole life. I discovered that I am what they call a social introvert.

The employer was 3 to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one 4 house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but 5 time went by, it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used bad workmanship (工艺) and materials. It was an unfortunate way to 6 a dedicated career. When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door 7 to the carpenter and said, “This is your house... my 8 to you.” The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he wouldn’t have done it all so 9 . So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting 10 than our best into the building. Then with a shock, we 11 we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently. But, you cannot 12 .

In the years before high school, I 1 much on football and music. That was 2 I spent most of my spare time. After I entered high school, my 3 for civil engineering (土木工程) inspired me to make greater efforts. I found my way to civil engineering 4 when I read an article about the Los Angeles earthquake in 1994. Its result was so awful that I was totally shocked. During the earthquake, many buildings fell down. The disaster led to heavy casualties (伤亡). The 5 sent me into thinking about how the building projects could be safer, and how I could get them that way. From then on, I 6 to learn civil engineering. 7 different kinds of buildings is a form of recreation (娱乐) for me. Sitting on my bicycle for hours watching the houses around me has made me feel the 8 to shape our buildings into solid ones.

My poor writing 11 used to bother me a lot. Fortunately, I had a strong wish to achieve my dream. It was the desire which 12 me to keep practicing, that helped me overcome my shortcomings. Over the years, I have learned to stick with things that I find 13 firmly. This character will stay with me till my efforts 14 . That, combined with my longstanding curiosity about 15 our world, is what will make me a great civil engineer someday soon. 1．A．relied B．concentrated C．lived D．depended 2．A．how B．when C．why D．what 3．A．talent B．need C．love D．pity 4．A．fortunately B．directly C．frequently D．accidentally 5．A．ruins B．wastes C．pollutants D．emissions 6．A．promised B．managed C．expected D．determined 7．A．Designing B．Completing C．Observing D．Understanding 8．A．expense B．necessity C．trend D．solution 9．A．ensure B．admit C．believe D．declare 10．A．Therefore B．However C．Moreover D．Thus 11．A．schedules B．tasks C．skills D．passages 12．A．forced B．reminded C．recommended D．pushed 13．A．challenging B．wrong C．right D．responsible 14．A．give off B．get off C．turn off D．pay off 15．A．shaping B．quitting C．seeing D．saving Passage 15 One of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her front yard. Her dad had planted it for her when it was nothing more than a little branch and several years later it started to 1 towards the sky at an amazing speed. Soon it blessed her with cooling shade in the 2 and glorious, golden leaves in the fall. When the two-day snowstorm struck our town, heavy snow 3 the tree’s branches that were still full of leaves. The weight split that lovely tree down the 4 . It was so sad seeing half of it 5 on the ground after the storm. When I talked to my neighbor later, she said that the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down. 6 she had saved a few seedlings from it that she hoped to replant in the future. Still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see 7 but a stump (树桩); in her front yard. I missed that tree. I missed its branches, its leaves shining in the afternoon sun. I missed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens. I thought that the stump would be a sad 8 of its loss for a long time to come. My wonderful neighbor, 9 , had another plan. When I drove by her home today I saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its 10 . It was such an affirmation (肯定) of 11 . It was such a joy to see. I could feel my heart 12 . Life by its very nature is a 13 bag. It hands us both beauty and tragedy, love and loss, pleasure and pain. What we do with it, however, is up to us. We can let it 14 us in two, or we can use even its hardest times to make our 15 stronger and our hearts more loving. We can spend it complaining or we can use it to help others. 1．A．circulate B．wind C．shoot D．stand 2．A．spring B．summer C．fall D．winter 3．A．fell on B．take apart C．get through D．broke down 4．A．top B．middle C．bottom D．root 5．A．dancing B．spreading C．trembling D．lying 6．A．Consequently B．Finally C．Thankfully D．Accidentally 7．A．everything B．something C．anything D．nothing 8．A．story B．expectation C．reminder D．view 9．A．though B．therefore C．still D．otherwise 10．A．rest B．baby C．date D．dinner 11．A．life B．time C．effort D．nature 12．A．beat B．smile C．hurt D．sink 13．A．mixed B．changeable C．separated D．stable 14．A．split B．pull C．benefit D．attach 15．A．connections B．families C．bodies D．souls 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
