In the weeks and months after she died, it was so 3 to be in her house without her. She had lived a 4 life and hadn’t left much behind. We weren’t looking for money or anything 5 —we just wondered what kinds of things we might find. In the living room, I 6 Grandma’s rocking chair.

You know, when I was a newborn, your grandmother would nurse me and send me to 7 while rocking in that chair. And when you were born, I did the same to you,” she said.

They even 1 that the things children learn in a team sport will directly influence how they behave in the future. What do children learn when they take part in a team sport? One of the skills is how to find a 2 between competing and teamwork. All sports are competitions and there is always going to be a winner and a loser. But in order to win, kids shouldn’t just 3 what they want for themselves. They should do what they are needed to do for the team. Many kids understand that winning isn’t everything. A study of 26,000 children found that winning was only the tenth most important reason for playing on a team. More important reasons were feeling the 4 of playing the game, being part of the team and developing skills. Having fun was the 5 reason. The parents of kids should understand that there is 6 more important than winning. Sports psychologists suggest using the idea of succeeding rather than winning. Succeeding means doing your best. It is not the same as winning. An important part of doing your best means trying to do better than 7 . Bettering your own time and trying to get to your personal best are what everyone can enjoy. Psychologists say that 8 athletes don’t talk about winning. They just enjoy the process and talk about how they love the sport instead. Canadian Lloyd Eiser, an Olympic skater, is a good 9 . He remembers, when he was a kid, his parents would never 10 him to go to the ice rink (溜冰场) to practice. “Their opinion was, if I didn’t want to, I didn’t have to. The result was that when I did go, I knew it was my choice. I went because I loved it.” 1. A. agree B. trust C. doubt D. mean 2. A. reason B. balance C. way D. point 3.

As he walked on, he found some shade（阴凉处）, and by it were some fine, wild 2 . “How good these will be with my bread and butter,” thought George.

He didn’t have a good harvest for years. “If God let me control the weather, everything would get 1 ,” he complained, “I know better than God does because I am a clever farmer.” God heard his words. “Well, I will give you one year,” God replied. “You will be in charge of the weather.

Why did you push my head down to water each time I asked for the secret to success?”，可知年轻人的核心诉求是询问如何成功，应选successful。 2. 句意： 他们朝大海走去。 根据后文“When they both stood in the water, Socrates pushed the young man’s head down to water.”，“stood in the water”明确限定了地点为水域，应选ocean。wild（荒野）、palace（宫殿）、forest（森林）均无水域，逻辑不通。 3. 句意： 年轻人很震惊。 根据前文“Socrates pushed the young man’s head down to water...Socrates walked away.”，苏格拉底突然将年轻人按入水中后直接离开，行为超出预期，应选shocked。 4. 句意： 年轻人想，他再也不会向苏格拉底寻求建议了。 根据文章开头“He asked, ‘Will you please give me some suggestions on how to be successful?’”，年轻人最初就是来寻求建议的，应选advice，呼应前文的suggestions。money（钱）、protection（保护）、information（信息）均与“请教建议”的语境无关，不符。 5. 句意： 和之前一样，苏格拉底强迫年轻人把头按到水下。 根据前文“Socrates pushed the young man’s head down to water.”，“Just like before”表明动作与首次一致，应选forced，对应“push”的动作。shook（摇晃）、turned（转动）、raised（抬起）均无法表达“按入水下”的含义，不符。 6. 句意： 然而这一次，年轻人是有准备的。 根据后文“Before going under, he took a deep breath and held it for thirty seconds”，年轻人提前做了呼吸准备，应选ready。 7. 句意： 几天过去了，年轻人不想放弃，于是他决定做最后一次尝试。 根据后文“so he decided to make a final try”，“final try”表明年轻人未放弃，应选give up。 8. 句意： 这一次，年轻人完全知道会发生什么。 根据前文年轻人已经历两次按头入水，对后续情况完全清楚，应选exactly，强调完全了然于心。 9. 句意： 他浮出水面呼吸空气，大喊道：“为什么？为什么每次我问成功的秘诀，你都把我的头按进水里？” 根据前文“He held his breath underwater for almost two minutes”，水下憋气后需浮出水面呼吸，应选surfaced。 10. 句意： 当你对成功的渴望，就像你对呼吸的渴望一样强烈时，你就会取得巨大的成功。 全文以“水中按头、渴望呼吸”为核心类比，此处需呼应“呼吸”这一核心意象，应选breathe。swim（游泳）、walk（走路）、stand（站立）均脱离核心语境，不符。 Passage 2 (Great ideas) In ancient China, there was a wise man named Zhuge Liang.

They even 1 that the things children learn in a team sport will directly influence how they behave in the future. What do children learn when they take part in a team sport? One of the skills is how to find a 2 between competing and teamwork. All sports are competitions and there is always going to be a winner and a loser. But in order to win, kids shouldn’t just 3 what they want for themselves. They should do what they are needed to do for the team. Many kids understand that winning isn’t everything. A study of 26,000 children found that winning was only the tenth most important reason for playing on a team. More important reasons were feeling the 4 of playing the game, being part of the team and developing skills. Having fun was the 5 reason. The parents of kids should understand that there is 6 more important than winning. Sports psychologists suggest using the idea of succeeding rather than winning. Succeeding means doing your best. It is not the same as winning. An important part of doing your best means trying to do better than 7 . Bettering your own time and trying to get to your personal best are what everyone can enjoy. Psychologists say that 8 athletes don’t talk about winning. They just enjoy the process and talk about how they love the sport instead. Canadian Lloyd Eiser, an Olympic skater, is a good 9 . He remembers, when he was a kid, his parents would never 10 him to go to the ice rink (溜冰场) to practice. “Their opinion was, if I didn’t want to, I didn’t have to.
