二、阅读理解
A Kenyan teacher who gave away most o his monthly salary(工资) to poor people has won a $1-million Global Teacher Prize.
In 2016, Peter Tabichi came to Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School, a public school, in a faraway Kenya's rift valley. The school had just a single computer, which had problems connecting to the Internet. It had no library or laboratory as well. To make matters worse, the students came from poor families where basics like food and clothing were hard to come by. While these difficulties would have caused most people to leave quickly, Tabichi stayed.
Realizing that the students were poor, the teacher began using as much as 80 percent of his monthly salary to buy food and learning objects for them. He set up a science club to get kids interested in the topic. "Our laboratory does not have everything, but I encourage them to think wider and use what we can get locally.
Tabichi and other four teachers regularly visited low-achieving and at-risk students at their homes to provide one-on-one help and understand the difficulties these children faced daily. Tabichi also encouraged parents to allow girls to continue their high-school education.
Tabichi's efforts have made a difference. School registration has more than doubled to almost 400 now since he came. In 2017, 16 of the 59 graduating students went to college, while in 2018, the number rose to 26. In 2017, five students qualified(获得参赛资格) for the Intel ISEF(International Science and Engineering Fair). This year, two other students will compete in the 2019 Intel ISEF to be held in Phoenix, Arizona.
The teacher, however, owes his success to his students, saying, "I am only here because of what my students have achieved. This prize gives them a chance. It tells the world that they can do anything." As would be expected, Tabichi plans to spend the prize money on his school community and feed the poor.

⑩ the
解析:
①考查时态。句意: 1939年8月, 一群受惊的孩子在布拉格威尔逊车站登上一列火车。根据时间状语In August 1939可知, 此处应用一般过去时。
②考查介词。句意: 尼古拉斯·温顿于1909年5月19日出生于伦敦, 父母是德国犹太人。在具体的日期前用介词on。
③考查动名词。句意: 一离开学校, 温顿就在德国和法国的银行工作。根据空前On可知, 本空应用动名词形式。
④考查定语从句。句意: 他1931年回到英国, 在那儿他从事商业。本空引导非限制性定语从句, 修饰名词Britain, 且在从句中作地点状语, 故本空应用关系副词where。
⑤考查不定式。句意: 当温顿在布拉格看到人们生活在恶劣的条件下且他们的生命处于危险之中时, 他决定帮助把孩子们送到英国的安全地带。decide to do sth.意为"决定做某事", 故本空应用不定式作宾语。
⑥考查时态。句意: 到1939年8月, 温顿已经救了669个孩子。根据By August 1939可知, 本空应用过去完成时。
⑦考查过去分词。句意: 1988年他的妻子Grete在家里发现了一本被遗忘的日记。本空修饰名词journal, 且 journal和动词forget之间为被动关系, 故本空应用过去分词作定语。
⑧考查名词复数。句意: 日记里包含孩子们的照片和名字, 以及收留他们的家庭的地址。根据空后children可知, 本空应用名词复数形式。
⑨考查名词。句意: 后来, 温顿因他的成就获得了各种荣誉。根据空前介词for以及形容词性物主代词his可知, 本空应用名词achievement"成就"。
⑩考查冠词。句意: 尼古拉斯·温顿于2015年7月1日去世, 享年106岁。at the age of意为"在……岁时", 故本空应用定冠词the。
