I learned this lesson years ago, when I spotted a dusty 1 in my grandmother’s room. It was a sunlit garden, with its edges worn-out from time, but the colors still 2 . I’d never seen it before, but as I stared, something 3 . A flood of images rushed in: sitting on that bench at age seven; my grandmother handing me a cup of lemonade; the 4 scent of roses hanging in the air. Until that moment, those memories had been 5 , like puzzle pieces I couldn’t quite fit together. My grandmother, noticing my gaze, smiled. “Your grandfather painted that,” she said. “He loved that garden, spent hours there, even when his hands shook too badly to 6 a brush.” I studied the brushstrokes — quick, as if he’d painted 7 , afraid the light might shift before he caught it. She told me he’d painted it the year before he died, when his memory was already 8 . “He couldn’t always remember my name,” she said, “but he never forgot how the garden looked at dawn.” That painting, she explained, was his way of 9 what mattered, even as his mind slipped away. We often think of memory as a 10 — something we either have or lose. But art, I realized, is a bridge. It 11 moments into something we can hold when our minds fail us.

At the 1 of Palo Duro Canyon (峡谷) State Park, I noticed a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The position offered a free, permanent campsite in the park, and 2 , the hosts served as a link between the park’s guests and the rangers (护林人). It was the perfect solution: a rent-free place to reorganize our lives. We entered the park and I made an 3 for the following day. The park was 4 , so it took us some time to find an available site. That evening, as we finished our dinner, my wife saw two large skunks (臭鼬) walking toward our table. We 5 climbed onto the table and, for the next four hours, waited for them to leave our camp. Having survived that night, we were 6 that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our 7 and gave us a beautiful campsite. That evening, 8 , we learned about the canyon wind. They were strong and cold, 9 our little camping truck violently, and we lay 10 in the dark until the winds died away. During the weeks that followed, we learned to survive in our truck and 11 the little money my wife 12 by substitute teaching. Building a successful business and then losing it had left very little time for building a successful family. For a time after our business 13 , I thought I might lose my family as well.

Fortunately, since senior year, I’ve closely 4 class and maintained an optimistic attitude. High school, perhaps, is about constantly learning from mistakes 5 we can face similar problems calmly later. In late June, the results came out. My Gaokao score was 574 points.

I learned this lesson years ago, when I spotted a dusty 1 in my grandmother’s room. It was a sunlit garden, with its edges worn-out from time, but the colors still 2 . I’d never seen it before, but as I stared, something 3 . A flood of images rushed in: sitting on that bench at age seven; my grandmother handing me a cup of lemonade; the 4 scent of roses hanging in the air. Until that moment, those memories had been 5 , like puzzle pieces I couldn’t quite fit together. My grandmother, noticing my gaze, smiled. “Your grandfather painted that,” she said. “He loved that garden, spent hours there, even when his hands shook too badly to 6 a brush.” I studied the brushstrokes — quick, as if he’d painted 7 , afraid the light might shift before he caught it. She told me he’d painted it the year before he died, when his memory was already 8 . “He couldn’t always remember my name,” she said, “but he never forgot how the garden looked at dawn.” That painting, she explained, was his way of 9 what mattered, even as his mind slipped away. We often think of memory as a 10 — something we either have or lose. But art, I realized, is a bridge. It 11 moments into something we can hold when our minds fail us. The garden in the painting wasn’t just a place; it was a 12 of love, of presence, of a man trying to hold on. Now, when I glance at it, I don’t just see flowers. I see the 13 of two people, and the way art can 14 even the memories gradually dying down. It’s a reminder that some things — love, beauty, the way light falls — are worth 15 . And art, in its quiet way, ensures they never truly disappear. 1．A．painting B．photo C．model D．diary 2．A．clear B．dark C．light D．vivid 3．A．clicked B．failed C．changed D．disappeared 4．A．odd B．sharp C．sweet D．faint 5．A．distinct B．lost C．precious D．fresh 6．A．clean B．find C．hold D．drop 7．A．carefully B．hesitantly C．calmly D．urgently 8．A．improving B．fading C．returning D．wandering 9．A．hiding B．throwing C．preserving D．preventing 10．A．gift B．chance C．skill D．choice 11．A．reduces B．divides C．breaks D．translates 12．A．symbol B．memory C．story D．lesson 13．A．faith B．silence C．love D．distance 14．A．weaken B．strengthen C．erase D．ignore 15．A．forgetting B．treasuring C．avoiding D．describing Passage 5 Sweet treats are beloved by many people, yet excessive sugar intake poses health risks. This is why artificial sweeteners have become common additives (添加剂) in numerous 1 food like cookies and soda that contain sugar substitutes. The first artificial sweetener was discovered 2 . In the 1870s, scientist Constantin Fahlberg was 3 to an experiment. When a chemical container 4 , he wiped the liquid, assuming the harmless substance had only splashed on his 5 . In his hurry to continue his work, Fahlberg 6 washing his hands thoroughly. Later, he went home to dine, with chemical traces still 7 on his dirty hands. 8 , the bread touched his tongue, and a surprisingly intense sweet taste filled his mouth. But which substance? He rushed back to the lab, tasting everything in 9 and he determined to 10 the source of it. Eventually, he 11 the spilled compound as intensely sweet — far sweeter than sugar. He 12 it saccharin (糖精), the first artificial sweetener. Dirty hands leading to a delicious innovation? It’s an accidental 13 , but it carries a valuable lesson: we all make mistakes, and that’s not 14 . Mistakes often 15 us down new ways. So if you don’t succeed on your first try, don’t hesitate to keep trying. 1．A．processed B．fresh C．raw D．green 2．A．by mistake B．on purpose C．by chance D．on earth 3．A．focused B．engaged C．absorbed D．devoted 4．A．ran over B．took over C．tipped over D．controlled over 5．A．feet B．fingers C．arms D．skin 6．A．thought B．imagined C．skipped D．desired 7．A．lingering B．losing C．insisting D．wondering 8．A．Remarkably B．Instantly C．Carelessly D．Happily 9．A．range B．look C．sight D．place 10．A．go through B．watch over C．take on D．look into 11．A．touched B．felt C．smelled D．identified 12．A．called B．thought C．titled D．labeled 13．A．routine B．tale C．joke D．habit 14．A．good B．true C．wrong D．bad 15．A．achieve B．guide C．acknowledge D．obtain Passage 6 Having eased my way into the parking lot, I looked through the crowd, but couldn’t find the 1 face. I took a deep breath and tried to control my anxiety. “It’s been too long, and I’ve gone this far,” I 2 myself, shutting off the engine. As I approached the restaurant, 3 with Teresa came rushing back. We had been close 4 for ages. A huge disagreement, however, caused us to 5 . I often thought of reaching out to her, but then I would think, “If she 6 , why wouldn’t she get in touch with me?” It was Teresa’s birthday a month before, and that 7 me to look for her on social media. She had a common name, but I 8 found her photo, with signature broad smile. I 9 her, saying how much I’d missed her over the past decade... Finally, I suggested meeting up. When I didn’t hear back, I figured she had something 10 in mind. But then she finally reached out, and we 11 this lunch. After my third cup of coffee, I 12 myself to the fact that Teresa wasn’t coming. No call, no message — maybe it was too late to 13 the friendship. Just as I was paying the bill, Teresa appeared, apologizing for her 14 and the radio silence. I 15 her midway, “It’s okay. I’m just glad you’re here!” We hugged each other tightly. It was so nice to be back in touch. If I hadn’t taken that leap of faith, I would have missed out on a wonderful friendship. 1．A．sincere B．familiar C．honest D．cheerful 2．A．challenged B．forgave C．awakened D．convinced 3．A．memories B．secrets C．promises D．lessons 4．A．neighbors B．roommates C．friends D．partners 5．A．break down B．break up C．break off D．break out 6．A．sighted B．declined C．cared D．hesitated 7．A．advised B．persuaded C．permitted D．pushed 8．A．eventually B．technically C．obviously D．accidentally 9．A．blamed B．admired C．followed D．messaged 10．A．specific B．particular C．different D．urgent 11．A．served B．arranged C．shared D．celebrated 12．A．resigned B．adjusted C．contained D．defended 13．A．establish B．examine C．expand D．repair 14．A．rudeness B．lateness C．loneliness D．sadness 15．A．praised B．inspired C．stopped D．informed Passage 7 When our restaurant business failed, we headed north in a camping truck to Texas, hoping to have a “fresh start”. At the 1 of Palo Duro Canyon (峡谷) State Park, I noticed a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The position offered a free, permanent campsite in the park, and 2 , the hosts served as a link between the park’s guests and the rangers (护林人). It was the perfect solution: a rent-free place to reorganize our lives. We entered the park and I made an 3 for the following day. The park was 4 , so it took us some time to find an available site. That evening, as we finished our dinner, my wife saw two large skunks (臭鼬) walking toward our table. We 5 climbed onto the table and, for the next four hours, waited for them to leave our camp. Having survived that night, we were 6 that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our 7 and gave us a beautiful campsite. That evening, 8 , we learned about the canyon wind. They were strong and cold, 9 our little camping truck violently, and we lay 10 in the dark until the winds died away. During the weeks that followed, we learned to survive in our truck and 11 the little money my wife 12 by substitute teaching. Building a successful business and then losing it had left very little time for building a successful family. For a time after our business 13 , I thought I might lose my family as well. Living in the tiny 14 with no television, we sat close together reading and talking. One evening, standing under a jeweled sky, I found myself 15 for all the hardships. We had walked the trails and climbed the canyon walls.

I dreamt of becoming a(n) 1 and biomedical researcher. But in college, as one of the few Black students in my courses, I 2 family connections to guide me and my dreams were considered unrealistic (不现实的). Even after I started my Ph.D．, I often felt I didn’t belong there, 3 my two huge projects and unsure how to get started. But everything 4 after I started rowing. When I joined the boat club with few Black women rowers, I was nervous they wouldn’t 5 me — the same feeling I experienced in college. But to my 6 , my teammates welcomed me with open arms, offering 7 to improve my techniques. For the first time in years, I felt 8 . Rowing also taught me to overcome difficult tasks. The idea of rowing nonstop for 2 kilometers in less than 8 minutes seemed 9 . But by breaking these goals into smaller steps, I made progress. I applied the 10 to my Ph.D．work, dealing with complex experiments piece by piece. Slowly, as my 11 in the lab grew, I was also eager for my first race. Then came the race day. I was surprised when the finish horn (号角) went off, I had 12 completed my first race. I realized that 13 isn’t about being like others; it’s about 14 yourself and taking one step at a time.

Big wildfires in Los Angeles have destroyed thousands of homes and claimed 3 . The Gruels, heartbroken by the disaster, decided to help. They put the 4 out on social media that they would 5 donations for their neighbors up north. A stream of volunteers has shown up to the restaurant 6 to help. Some come armed with supplies; others are 7 with their trucks to transport the 8 to LA． Some of the biggest 9 right now for the hundreds of displaced Angelenos, many of whom have lost most of their belongings in the disaster, are socks, underwear and baby formula. But Lauren also thought about children who had lost everything. “Toys and coloring books would be 10 ,” she said. 11 collecting donations, the restaurant is offering free meals to wildfire 12 . “If you need to stay here, 13 a bite to eat, or figure out your next step, you’re more than 14 to just hang out here for a few while,” said Andrew. Volunteers like Alex Ordorica, a local resident, helped transport supplies. After his second trip to the center, he said, “Every box 15 isn’t just supplies — it’s a reminder that nobody’s alone in this.” 1．A．Globally B．Normally C．Fortunately D．Surprisingly 2．A．relief B．prevention C．information D．research 3．A．jobs B．lives C．luggage D．responsibility 4．A．menu B．word C．event D．picture 5．A．house B．earn C．increase D．cancel 6．A．hesitant B．unable C．curious D．ready 7．A．calling up B．taking off C．stopping by D．trying out 8．A．medicine B．aid C．care D．arms 9．A．needs B．tools C．interests D．worries 10．A．great B．useless C．expensive D．educational 11．A．Instead of B．Due to C．In addition to D．In spite of 12．A．fighters B．neighbors C．criminals D．victims 13．A．buy B．demand C．offer D．grab 14．A．grateful B．safe C．welcome D．happy 15．A．lost B．stored C．ordered D．delivered Passage 10 I whispered to myself, “A five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer.” White Cliff was really 1 for an enthusiastic painter like me. But at the 2 of going there alone, I had butterflies in my stomach. Later, I dialed my only friend Emily’s number, only to discover that she would be otherwise 3 . I sighed and drooped my head. I had really had a hard time jumping into something without 4 faces around. 5 , I went outside to draw the Westons’ towering pine tree. Sitting on the stairs, I thought about the art camp and wished to feel a little 6 . But by the time I started sketching (画素描), I had made myself believe that 7 the camp was my content decision. I carefully 8 the pine’s strong trunk, straight and solid, and added the graceful branches. Once lost in my sketching, I 9 noticed the fly buzzing around me. Hence, I jumped when Mr. Weston suddenly remarked, “You’ve shown the characteristics of the tree’s 10 beautifully on paper.” “Thanks.” I smiled, glancing up. “If you spread out the roots near the surface, the tree could 11 sufficient water and grow even higher.” I noticed the knobby bumps (疙瘩状突起) of roots 12 out of the ground all around the tree. I’d never realized how 13 a tree’s roots spread outward. It struck me that if I wanted to grow, I had to start 14 too. That evening, I filled out the art camp application, ready to spread my 15 out into new earth.

One afternoon a couple of summers ago, just as the sky was 1 , a woman I didn’t know stood 2 in our doorway, holding the screen door open. I saw the silhouette (轮廓) of her head through the window. She didn’t feel well at all. So, I wondered, what should I do now? This moment of decision had 3 me before. For nineteen years, we’ve lived at the 4 of a highway, which often leads exhausted cars to our house. These travelers have all asked for little things, such as the phone, a glass of water, or 5 directions. All have been strangers to me. Nowadays, we live in a world full of suspicion. Conventional wisdom advises that to 6 a good person is to be naive and risk terrible consequences. News is full of stories about 7 who unintentionally endanger themselves. There is no doubt that those are true stories, but the lesson goes against my belief. Sometimes to do the right thing, you must 8 . Must we fear all of those whom we don’t know? Is our own personal safety always the important 9 ? Our location 10 me to make difficult choices. The highway makes it impossible to 11 the world and relationship to it. When someone approaches us for help, I have to decide: Do I help them or not? I believe 12 others who need help endangers me, too. I’d rather risk my 13 safety than my peace of mind. I’d rather live my life acting out of 14 than save it by living in uneasiness. So when the woman was sinking like the sun on my front doorstep, I made my choice.

My ten-year-old winter coat had a 1 zipper, and despite my attempts to repair it, it was still hard to 2 . I decided it was finally time to buy a new coat — though every dollar 3 these days. When I pulled into the store parking lot, I 4 a homeless man and his dog near the entrance. He held a cardboard sign asking for help, but cars kept driving past him. Out of 5 , I stopped, gave him some money, and then went inside for a new coat. As I was about to 6 , I saw that he was still there. I drove back, got out of my car, and 7 him. He was younger than I had expected, with long hair but 8 eyes. Although his clothes were 9 , his behavior was calm and hopeful. His dog looked 10 , too． I handed him some extra cash and offered him my old coat, explaining the 11 problem. He smiled gratefully and said he was sure someone would 12 it. When I asked if there was anything else he needed, he simply replied, “Prayers.” I shook his hand and promised to 13 him in my thoughts. From this encounter, I learned three lessons: even in 14 , people can remain kind; every act of generosity matters; and we all 15 through life toward the same destination. It is best to travel with a caring heart, a positive attitude, and a friendly smile. 1．A．locked B．tightened C．broken D．opened 2．A．fasten B．wear C．roll D．sew 3．A．remained B．counted C．spoke D．helped 4．A．heard B．left C．spotted D．hit 5．A．confusion B．regret C．curiosity D．compassion 6．A．enter B．pass C．flee D．leave 7．A．approached B．invited C．comforted D．reached 8．A．bright B．sunken C．watery D．narrowed 9．A．worn B．thin C．rusty D．flat 10．A．roughly made up B．ill adapted to C．fully relied on D．well cared for 11．A．money B．clothing C．zipper D．weather 12．A．get B．give C．fix D．need 13．A．remind B．remember C．relieve D．revive 14．A．adulthood B．wilderness C．winter D．hardship 15．A．run B．journey C．step D．drive Passage 13 “I loved the feeling of swimming outside, in the fresh air, fully immersed in nature.” Melanie Barratt, an unusual swimmer, 1 it into the record books by swimming across the English Channel unaided. This was the first time a 2 woman had achieved this. Melanie, who was born with congenital toxoplasmosis (先天性弓形虫病), leaving her sightless in her left eye and with 3 vision in the other, loved swimming from an early age. As a talented teenager she was 4 by British Blind Sport and selected for the national swimming team. She went on to win several 5 for swimming at the Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 Paralympics. 6 she had thought it impossible to swim across the English Channel as it was a huge challenge to swim for long in open water without knowing where she was heading, even if she could 7 the cold and the distance. To 8 this, she practised swimming alongside her husband, Richard, in his kayak (皮船). Communication was a 9 for them. “My husband couldn’t talk to me while I was swimming and was unable to give me any 10 .” Fortunately, they found a 11 in a wireless radio system that connected to bone conducting headphones, allowing Richard to 12 her while she swam. To make better preparations, she even had a barrel full of cold water in the garden to help build her 13 to the temperature when she couldn’t practise in open water. Not only for her own enjoyment, taking on the challenge was also about making the sport more 14 to people with sight loss. Melanie has started up a Facebook group “Blind Swim Buddies” where more and more people register as volunteers and state what kind of 15 activity they do. 1．A．placed B．entered C．broke D．made 2．A．sighted B．deaf C．blind D．dumb 3．A．limited B．normal C．outstanding D．perfect 4．A．fascinated B．ignored C．spotted D．criticized 5．A．medals B．coins C．prizes D．rewards 6．A．However B．Therefore C．Meanwhile D．Otherwise 7．A．suffer from B．cope with C．stand for D．draw on 8．A．transform B．abandon C．welcome D．overcome 9．A．pleasure B．responsibility C．success D．struggle 10．A．command B．direction C．energy D．comfort 11．A．way B．solution C．method D．plan 12．A．follow B．teach C．guide D．accompany 13．A．reaction B．tolerance C．patience D．sensitivity 14．A．appropriate B．challenging C．affordable D．accessible 15．A．school B．eye C．water D．space Passage 14 Cooking has always been a small enjoyment of mine. About a decade ago, I found great 1 in creating delicious meals from beginning. However, a series of 2 , including a few unfortunate cuts, left me 3 to cook. So I gradually distanced myself from 4 , relying more on my husband to cook or takeout. Recently, however, I decided to 5 my love for cooking, and it’s been transformative. Getting back into cooking wasn’t easy. Memories of past accidents with my hands remained, and the fear of 6   myself again appeared. However, as the 7 of living continued to rise, I realized that relying only on restaurants wasn’t sustainable. So, with 8 , I stepped back into the kitchen. One 9 that has truly refueled my passion for cooking is Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon (红酒炖牛肉). When the movie Julie and Julia came out, I fell in love with cooking but never 10 this classic French dish. It’s certainly a 11 of love, requiring a lot of time, 12 , and attention to detail. From seasoning the beef with salt and pepper to mixing it with wine, every 13 is a joyous celebration of flavor and technique. Making it for the first time gave me a sense of 14 , reminding me why I fell in love with cooking.

Yet when I finally got them, it was far from what I 1 , especially the uncomfortable braces. They make eating a(n) 2 process as I could only eat with a minimum of chewing and a maximum of pain. After two years of terrible orthodonties (牙齿矫正) 3 , I needed an operation to get the braces 4 . On the day of the operation, even though I was scared, I 5 it. Afterward, I followed my mother into a large 6 to do a little shopping. We didn’t realize the medicine had made my mouth numb (麻木的), so I couldn’t 7 and my mouth water kept running. As we walked, everyone stared at us. They looked 8 , sorry, or even annoyed. But none of them knew the 9 : I had just had a painful operation. Later, I spent a lot of time thinking about people’s 10 in the store that day. Perhaps they had thought that I was mentally or physically 11 . Actually I had never been looked at that way. This experience lightly 12 my view, making me see the world with more 13 .
