F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: "My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could not share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary."
This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned(1922) , a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age(1922), and a play The Vegetable(1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, a novel published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald's problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed Tender Is the Night in 1934 and parts of The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.
1.Which of the following is the correct order to describe Fitzgerald's life according to the passage
a.He became addicted to drinking.
b.He studied at St. Paul Academy.
c.He published his first novel This Side of paradise.
d.The Great Gatsby won high praise.
e.He failed to reorder his life.
f.He joined the army and met Zelda.
A.f-c-e-a-b-d B.b-f-c-d-e-a C.f-d-e-c-b-a D.b-e-a-f-c-d
2.We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald _____.
A.had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama
B.was well educated and rich before he served in the army
C.would have completed more works if his wife hadn't broken down
D.helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital
3.How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage

A.Zelda's personal life B.Zelda's illness and treatment
C.Fitzgerald's friendship with Graham D.Fitzgerald's contributions to the literary world

Since it was first published in 1843, the novella(中篇小说) A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens has been loved by millions of people, and perhaps has inspired them to love more and give more. It has been adapted for theatre, television and film. Dickens is known as the best author of Victorian times writing on social issues affecting his times, such as poverty, child labour and urban development, especially in London where he lived.
Charles Dickens was no stranger to poverty. His father was thrown in prison for debt in 1824, and he was removed from school and put to work as the second oldest child of eight children.
Dickens' father was set free from prison after a year, and Dickens was put back into school for three years until he had to leave again to work as an office boy. Eventually, he started writing stories for the papers. With money coming in and then children, Charles had taken a mortgage(抵押贷款) on a big house. His next novel was not as well received and his future payments were cut. Charles needed to make money and he needed to make it fast. Criticism(批评) of his new novel hurt his confidence; it is not easy to write when you are down and struggling. He needed new ideas and inspiration, but he was running out of time.
He happened to find the idea of a Christmas story that could warm the hearts of the poor and open the hearts of the selfish. He needed to write fast and that is probably why we only have a novella, but a novella is enough to share his story. He filled the story with characters and scenes which he had already written about in his other stories. Scrooge, the main character, is a selfish self-centred man who hates Christmas—the time of giving. His late business partner, also a greedy man, comes back as a ghost to warn Scrooge.
The plan to rescue himself financially also rescued Dickens emotionally. As he wrote about Christmas and the wonderful time of gift giving, family gathering, carol singing and feast sharing, his own heart was cheered and he remembered those things that really mattered to him. He loved writing the book and produced a special story, which is still loved around the world. New inspiration and fresh confidence set Dickens on a new path to success.
1.What difficulties was Dickens faced with when writing A Christmas Carol
A.Lack of time and education. B.Lack of love and confidence.
C.Lack of patience and ideas. D.Lack of inspiration and confidence.
2.What can be inferred about A Christmas Carol from the passage
A.Dickens got his inspiration by visiting the poor people on the "black street".
B.It is impossible for the readers to know the characters before reading the book.
C.Scrooge becomes a generous and kind man in the end.
D.The book is only meant to criticize the selfishness of the rich.
3.Why is A Christmas Carol such an important work according to the last paragraph
A.It is very popular among readers.
B.It serves as a turning point in Dickens' writing career.
C.It helped Dickens earn a great deal of money.
D.Its theme is about a wonderful time full of love and giving.
4.What is the purpose of this article
A.To show the greatness of Charles Dickens.
B.To recommend some great works of Charles Dickens.
C.To present how poor Dickens' life was.
D.To introduce the book A Christmas Carol.
D
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
1.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _______________.
A.the reasons for success B.the meaning of success
C.the standards of success D.the importance of success
2.In Paragraph 2, the underlined word "that" refers to ______________.
A.being good at something B.setting a practical goal
C.putting in more time D.succeeding in life
3.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______________.
A.work makes one feel pain B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
4.What is the main theme of the passage
A.Having a goal is vital to success. B.Being good is different from being great.
C.One cannot succeed without time and practice. D.Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.

"Once there was a ship travelling on the rough sea and on the ship there was a pair of couple. All of a sudden, the ship met with an accident and the couple had no choice but to run to the lifeboat without delay. After reaching there, they realized that there was space only for one person. At that very moment, the husband pushed his wife behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself, leaving his wife standing on the sinking ship, shouting something desperately to her husband, eyes filled with tears."
The teacher stopped her storytelling and asked her students, "Guys, guess what it was that she shouted."
Most students answered, "I hate you!"
After listening to all the reply, the teacher glanced through the whole class again and noticed that there was a boy sitting silently throughout. Then she asked him the same question.
The boy answered, "I believe she would have shouted—Take care of our child."
Listening to his remark, the teacher was surprised and asked the boy doubtfully, "Have you heard of this story before "
Shaking his head, the boy said softly and sadly, "No, I haven't. But that's what my mother said to my father before she died of a deadly disease."
Moved and feeling sad, the teacher replied, "Your answer is absolutely right!"
Then she continued, "Let's take up the story. The ship sank eventually and the husband went home and brought up their daughter alone. Many years later after the death of the man, their daughter was tidying up all his belongings when she found his diary. In his diary she found that when her parents were on the ship, her mother had already been diagnosed(诊断) with advanced illness and at the critical moment, her father rushed to the only chance of survival."
Paragraph 1:
In his diary, the man mentioned he wished to sink into the ocean with his wife but for their daughter he had to live. ___________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

2.推理判断题。由第四段第一句"However, Fitzgerald's problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing"可知, 他跟妻子的关系出现了问题, 这影响了他的创作。根据第一段的"In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her."可知, 在遇到他的未婚妻之后他才去赚钱, 故A、B项错误。根据最后一段的"Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism."可知, 是他的朋友帮他戒酒, 并不是他帮朋友戒酒, 因而D项错误。故选C。

2.推理判断题。根据第四段中的Scrooge, the main character, is a selfish self-centred man who hates Christmas—the time of giving. His late business partner, also a greedy man, comes back as a ghost to warn Scrooge.可知,《圣诞颂歌》这本书讲述的是一个极度自私的人是如何改变自己的。再结合该段第一句He happened to find the idea of a Christmas story that could warm the hearts of the poor and open the hearts of the selfish.可知,这本书的主旨是"温暖穷人的心,打开自私者的心扉"。因此可推断出Scrooge的性格发生了变化,他最终成了一个慷慨善良的人。故选C。
3.推断判断题。根据最后一段可知,《圣诞颂歌》这本书在经济上和精神上拯救了狄更斯,他被这本书鼓舞,开创了新的创作之路,并且走向成功。所以这本书重要的原因在于它是狄更斯创作生涯的一个转折点。故选B。

解析：1.段落大意题。本段所提到的"运气""天赋""家庭环境"等都是成功的条件或理由,并没有讲成功的含义,也没有提到成功的标准及重要性。故选A。
2.代词指代题。此处的that指代前句中的"set a goal and then gradually make it more practical"。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段中"This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love."可知其中的this就是指代上文的内容,即第二段中的内容"one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in",这两句告诉我们,要成功需要花费大量的时间。故选D。
4.主旨归纳题。由第二段开头的"However"可知,本文的中心论题不是第一段而在第二段"to succeed in life, one first needs to ... needs to...",再结合最后一段中"if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time",可知本文的主题思想是:不花时间和不付诸实践是不可能取得成功的。故选C。
第二节
答案：①-⑤ GCEBD
解析：①由"The term 'face blindness' isn't exactly accurate though."可知，"脸盲"一词并不完全准确。空处承接上文，作进一步的解释。G项"他们实际上可以看到人脸"切题。故选G。
②由"These clues include the way they sound (their voice or accent), the way they look (body size, shape or height), the way they smell, their clothing, their hair (style, colour or length) and obvious features on their face (beards, piercings, heavy eyebrows, glasses)."可知，这些线索包括他们说话的方式(声音或口音)、他们的外貌(体型、体态或身高)、他们的气味、他们的衣着、他们的发型(风格、颜色或长度)和他们脸上明显的特征(胡子、耳洞、浓眉、眼镜)。所以空处要承接下文，总说那些脸盲症患者必须使用其他线索来识别人，再具体分说。C项"那些脸盲症患者必须使用其他线索来识别人"切题。该项中的"other clues"和下文中的"These clues"相吻合。故选C。
③由"Because they're not always unique to one person and they can change."可知，因为他们并不总是独一无二的，他们可以改变。所以空处与下文为因果关系。E项"这些都是不太有效的识别人的方法"切题。故选E。
④由"But imagine if you didn't know whether the person approaching you is a friend or a stranger."可知，但是想象一下，如果你不知道接近你的人是朋友还是陌生人。空处要承接上文，B项"你是打招呼还是继续走？"切题。故选B。
⑤由"Or imagine not being able to find the teacher when you need to use the toilet, because your teacher wears glasses and none of the adults in the room are wearing glasses today."可知，或者想象一下，当你需要上厕所的时候找不到老师，因为你的老师戴着眼镜，而今天房间里没有一个成年人戴着眼镜。所以空处要总结性地说明这会对你的社交技能和自信产生影响。D项"很容易看出这会对你的社交技能和自信产生影响"切题。故选D。

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
In his diary, the man mentioned he wished to sink into the ocean with his wife but for their daughter he had to live. Without him, their baby daughter would become an orphan. After drowning himself in sorrow for a short time, he uplifted himself and learned how to raise a baby. Whenever faced with hardships, he would inspire himself with his wife's words—"Take care of our child." Seeing the little girl grow into a sunny, pretty girl, the man knew he made it to keep his promise.
Paragraph 2:
The story was finished and the class was silent. Nobody talked or laughed as usual. Instead, it seemed that every student was lost in deep thought, tasting the moving story. The teacher was sure that the students were reflecting on their replies and that they had understood the moral of the story. Of Good and Evil in this world, there are hidden secrets behind them. So we should not really focus on the surface and judge anyone without understanding them first. Put yourself in others' shoes and then you can really understand their behavior.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: "My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could not share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary."
This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned(1922) , a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age(1922), and a play The Vegetable(1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, a novel published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald's problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed Tender Is the Night in 1934 and parts of The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.
1.Which of the following is the correct order to describe Fitzgerald's life according to the passage
a.He became addicted to drinking.
b.He studied at St. Paul Academy.
c.He published his first novel This Side of paradise.
d.The Great Gatsby won high praise.
e.He failed to reorder his life.
f.He joined the army and met Zelda.
A.f-c-e-a-b-d B.b-f-c-d-e-a C.f-d-e-c-b-a D.b-e-a-f-c-d
2.We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald _____.
A.had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama
B.was well educated and rich before he served in the army
C.would have completed more works if his wife hadn't broken down
D.helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital

Since it was first published in 1843, the novella(中篇小说) A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens has been loved by millions of people, and perhaps has inspired them to love more and give more. It has been adapted for theatre, television and film. Dickens is known as the best author of Victorian times writing on social issues affecting his times, such as poverty, child labour and urban development, especially in London where he lived.
Charles Dickens was no stranger to poverty. His father was thrown in prison for debt in 1824, and he was removed from school and put to work as the second oldest child of eight children.
Dickens' father was set free from prison after a year, and Dickens was put back into school for three years until he had to leave again to work as an office boy. Eventually, he started writing stories for the papers. With money coming in and then children, Charles had taken a mortgage(抵押贷款) on a big house. His next novel was not as well received and his future payments were cut. Charles needed to make money and he needed to make it fast. Criticism(批评) of his new novel hurt his confidence; it is not easy to write when you are down and struggling. He needed new ideas and inspiration, but he was running out of time.
He happened to find the idea of a Christmas story that could warm the hearts of the poor and open the hearts of the selfish. He needed to write fast and that is probably why we only have a novella, but a novella is enough to share his story. He filled the story with characters and scenes which he had already written about in his other stories. Scrooge, the main character, is a selfish self-centred man who hates Christmas—the time of giving. His late business partner, also a greedy man, comes back as a ghost to warn Scrooge.
The plan to rescue himself financially also rescued Dickens emotionally. As he wrote about Christmas and the wonderful time of gift giving, family gathering, carol singing and feast sharing, his own heart was cheered and he remembered those things that really mattered to him. He loved writing the book and produced a special story, which is still loved around the world. New inspiration and fresh confidence set Dickens on a new path to success.
1.What difficulties was Dickens faced with when writing A Christmas Carol
A.Lack of time and education. B.Lack of love and confidence.
C.Lack of patience and ideas. D.Lack of inspiration and confidence.
2.What can be inferred about A Christmas Carol from the passage
A.Dickens got his inspiration by visiting the poor people on the "black street".
B.It is impossible for the readers to know the characters before reading the book.
C.Scrooge becomes a generous and kind man in the end.
D.The book is only meant to criticize the selfishness of the rich.
3.Why is A Christmas Carol such an important work according to the last paragraph
A.It is very popular among readers.
B.It serves as a turning point in Dickens' writing career.
C.It helped Dickens earn a great deal of money.
D.Its theme is about a wonderful time full of love and giving.
4.What is the purpose of this article
A.To show the greatness of Charles Dickens.
B.To recommend some great works of Charles Dickens.
C.To present how poor Dickens' life was.
D.To introduce the book A Christmas Carol.
D
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
1.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _______________.
A.the reasons for success B.the meaning of success
C.the standards of success D.the importance of success
2.In Paragraph 2, the underlined word "that" refers to ______________.
A.being good at something B.setting a practical goal
C.putting in more time D.succeeding in life
3.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______________.
A.work makes one feel pain B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
4.What is the main theme of the passage
A.Having a goal is vital to success. B.Being good is different from being great.
C.One cannot succeed without time and practice. D.Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.

"Once there was a ship travelling on the rough sea and on the ship there was a pair of couple. All of a sudden, the ship met with an accident and the couple had no choice but to run to the lifeboat without delay. After reaching there, they realized that there was space only for one person. At that very moment, the husband pushed his wife behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself, leaving his wife standing on the sinking ship, shouting something desperately to her husband, eyes filled with tears."
The teacher stopped her storytelling and asked her students, "Guys, guess what it was that she shouted."
Most students answered, "I hate you!"
After listening to all the reply, the teacher glanced through the whole class again and noticed that there was a boy sitting silently throughout. Then she asked him the same question.
The boy answered, "I believe she would have shouted—Take care of our child."
Listening to his remark, the teacher was surprised and asked the boy doubtfully, "Have you heard of this story before "
Shaking his head, the boy said softly and sadly, "No, I haven't. But that's what my mother said to my father before she died of a deadly disease."
Moved and feeling sad, the teacher replied, "Your answer is absolutely right!"
Then she continued, "Let's take up the story. The ship sank eventually and the husband went home and brought up their daughter alone. Many years later after the death of the man, their daughter was tidying up all his belongings when she found his diary. In his diary she found that when her parents were on the ship, her mother had already been diagnosed(诊断) with advanced illness and at the critical moment, her father rushed to the only chance of survival."

2.推理判断题。由第四段第一句"However, Fitzgerald's problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing"可知, 他跟妻子的关系出现了问题, 这影响了他的创作。根据第一段的"In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her."可知, 在遇到他的未婚妻之后他才去赚钱, 故A、B项错误。根据最后一段的"Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism."可知, 是他的朋友帮他戒酒, 并不是他帮朋友戒酒, 因而D项错误。故选C。

2.推理判断题。根据第四段中的Scrooge, the main character, is a selfish self-centred man who hates Christmas—the time of giving. His late business partner, also a greedy man, comes back as a ghost to warn Scrooge.可知,《圣诞颂歌》这本书讲述的是一个极度自私的人是如何改变自己的。再结合该段第一句He happened to find the idea of a Christmas story that could warm the hearts of the poor and open the hearts of the selfish.可知,这本书的主旨是"温暖穷人的心,打开自私者的心扉"。因此可推断出Scrooge的性格发生了变化,他最终成了一个慷慨善良的人。故选C。
3.推断判断题。根据最后一段可知,《圣诞颂歌》这本书在经济上和精神上拯救了狄更斯,他被这本书鼓舞,开创了新的创作之路,并且走向成功。所以这本书重要的原因在于它是狄更斯创作生涯的一个转折点。故选B。

解析：1.段落大意题。本段所提到的"运气""天赋""家庭环境"等都是成功的条件或理由,并没有讲成功的含义,也没有提到成功的标准及重要性。故选A。
2.代词指代题。此处的that指代前句中的"set a goal and then gradually make it more practical"。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段中"This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love."可知其中的this就是指代上文的内容,即第二段中的内容"one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in",这两句告诉我们,要成功需要花费大量的时间。故选D。
4.主旨归纳题。由第二段开头的"However"可知,本文的中心论题不是第一段而在第二段"to succeed in life, one first needs to ... needs to...",再结合最后一段中"if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time",可知本文的主题思想是:不花时间和不付诸实践是不可能取得成功的。故选C。
第二节
答案：①-⑤ GCEBD
解析：①由"The term 'face blindness' isn't exactly accurate though."可知，"脸盲"一词并不完全准确。空处承接上文，作进一步的解释。G项"他们实际上可以看到人脸"切题。故选G。
②由"These clues include the way they sound (their voice or accent), the way they look (body size, shape or height), the way they smell, their clothing, their hair (style, colour or length) and obvious features on their face (beards, piercings, heavy eyebrows, glasses)."可知，这些线索包括他们说话的方式(声音或口音)、他们的外貌(体型、体态或身高)、他们的气味、他们的衣着、他们的发型(风格、颜色或长度)和他们脸上明显的特征(胡子、耳洞、浓眉、眼镜)。所以空处要承接下文，总说那些脸盲症患者必须使用其他线索来识别人，再具体分说。C项"那些脸盲症患者必须使用其他线索来识别人"切题。该项中的"other clues"和下文中的"These clues"相吻合。故选C。
③由"Because they're not always unique to one person and they can change."可知，因为他们并不总是独一无二的，他们可以改变。所以空处与下文为因果关系。E项"这些都是不太有效的识别人的方法"切题。故选E。
④由"But imagine if you didn't know whether the person approaching you is a friend or a stranger."可知，但是想象一下，如果你不知道接近你的人是朋友还是陌生人。空处要承接上文，B项"你是打招呼还是继续走？"切题。故选B。
⑤由"Or imagine not being able to find the teacher when you need to use the toilet, because your teacher wears glasses and none of the adults in the room are wearing glasses today."可知，或者想象一下，当你需要上厕所的时候找不到老师，因为你的老师戴着眼镜，而今天房间里没有一个成年人戴着眼镜。所以空处要总结性地说明这会对你的社交技能和自信产生影响。D项"很容易看出这会对你的社交技能和自信产生影响"切题。故选D。

第二节
答案：the; combining; to create; successful; whose; in; her; frequently; was considered; visits
解析：本文介绍了著名艺术家郁蓉通过把中国的剪纸和国际上流行的艺术形式结合在一起,创作了含有中国元素的图画书《我是花木兰》。
①考查冠词。此处特指花木兰的故事,应用定冠词。故填the。
②考查非谓语动词。在介词by后作宾语,应用动词-ing形式。故填combining。

④考查形容词。and连接并列结构,此处and后面是形容词impressive。故填successful。
⑤考查定语从句的关系词。空处引导定语从句,指代先行词Hua Mulan,在定语从句中作story的定语。故填whose。

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
In his diary, the man mentioned he wished to sink into the ocean with his wife but for their daughter he had to live. Without him, their baby daughter would become an orphan. After drowning himself in sorrow for a short time, he uplifted himself and learned how to raise a baby. Whenever faced with hardships, he would inspire himself with his wife's words—"Take care of our child." Seeing the little girl grow into a sunny, pretty girl, the man knew he made it to keep his promise.
Paragraph 2:
The story was finished and the class was silent. Nobody talked or laughed as usual. Instead, it seemed that every student was lost in deep thought, tasting the moving story. The teacher was sure that the students were reflecting on their replies and that they had understood the moral of the story. Of Good and Evil in this world, there are hidden secrets behind them. So we should not really focus on the surface and judge anyone without understanding them first. Put yourself in others' shoes and then you can really understand their behavior.
