There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often the whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains had been their favourite relatives. This was the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always travelled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen newspapers and magazines to read and reread. I looked around the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my 21st Century Teens.
It was not long before the train was rattling across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Bahru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I had been looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey, by train.
1.The author expected the train trip to be ________.
A.adventurous B.pleasant C.exciting D.boring

4.What is the best title for the text
A.Comfort in Travelling by Train B.Pleasure of Living in the Country
C.Reading Gives People Happiness D.Smiles Brighten People up

When I was 3 years old, I was found to be deaf in my left ear and have a small problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I've never lived in a state of self-hating sorrow.
Imagine being able to shut out all sounds as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That's my reality when I sleep on my "good ear", and it even makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.
People call my deaf side my "bad ear", but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features(特征) that some other deaf people don't.
In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
Having a hearing aid hasn't always felt good, however.
On the first day I got my aid, when I was 8, I took it to school for show-and-tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, "Aren't those for old men "
At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers(同龄人).
But it's not just school kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens(负担).
Every video on social media that lacks subtitles, for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it.
Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.
And with hearing aids costing around $ 2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to the things that others take for granted.
As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations—I'm lucky.
I'm deaf, but I can still hear everything. I've been blessed with wonderful life experiences.
1.The author once feel different from his peers because ________.
A.he can't hear anything
B.he was laughed at by his classmates
C.he couldn't enjoy without subtitles
D.he could shut out all sounds when sleeping on his good ear
2.Deaf people may have the following burdens EXCEPT ________.
A.being unable to afford hearing aids B.being unable to enjoy videos without subtitles
C.being embarrassed in front of their peers D.being blessed with wonderful experiences
3.What does the underlined phrase "are excluded from" probably mean
A.Are prevented from. B.Are limited to. C.Are separated from. D.Are reduced to.
4.What is the author's attitude toward his hearing difficulty
A.It was a tough reality and caused him a lot of trouble.
B.It was a time of great sorrow and made him feel sad.
C.It gave him a chance to experience something special.
D.It helped him to live in his own world without sound.
D
One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂) on earth'.
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of seaside holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungle of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund development of health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holidaymakers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious indigenous trees and plants.
Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism, but the people rapidly feel its effects as well. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The previous farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive their customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism will be handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years' time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
1.What is the example of Nepal used to suggest
A.Its natural resources are untouched.
B.Its forests are exploited for farmland.
C.It develops well in health and education.
D.It suffers from the heavy flow of tourists.
2.What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4
A.They are happy to work their own land.
B.They have to please the tourists for a living.
C.They have to struggle for their independence.
D.They are proud of working in multinational organizations.
3.Which of the following will determine the future of tourism
A.The number of tourists. B.The improvement of services.
C.The promotion of new products. D.The management of tourism.
4.What is the author's attitude towards the development of the tourist industry
A.Optimistic. B.Doubtful. C.Objective. D.Negative.

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yogurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yogurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard in the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wasted a parent's money and made me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when the big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, "It's just yogurt. What's the big deal " So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yogurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then—bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot(鼻涕) frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help him. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.

第二部分 语言知识运用
第一节
1-5.BABDC; 6-10.ACBDC; 11-15.BDACC
解析：1.句意:我们认为我们不用提前预订就可以在路上找到一家宾馆。order点菜;book(向旅馆)预订;seek寻找;exchange交换。根据后句中的we started looking for a hotel, only to find that all the hotels were full可知作者没有提前订宾馆。预订宾馆用动词book。
2.句意:最终,在晚上大约9点的时候,我们在一个加油站停下来,eventually最终;incredibly难以置信地;typically典型地;luckily幸运地。上文提到作者他们找了很长时间的宾馆,所以此处表示他们最终在一家加油站停下来。
3.句意:我丈夫告诉柜台后的那位女士我们正努力地找宾馆。manage勉力完成(强调做成某事);struggle努力;decide决定;fail失败。根据上文可知作者一家没有找到宾馆,所以这里指“努力找宾馆”,struggle to do sth.努力做某事。
4.句意:她告诉我们在旺季,这么晚的时间里找到宾馆是不可能的。unnecessary不必要的;informal非正式的;improper不合适的;impossible不可能的。根据本句中的at such late time in a busy season可知,此处强调现在想找到宾馆根本不可能。
5.句意:尽管很惊讶于她的提议,我们还是欣然接受了。employment雇用;request要求;offer主动提议;admission承认。此处应该是指这位女士提出让我们暂住她的家里。
6.上句提到作者一家接受了那位女士的提议,因此此处应该是跟着车去她的家里。follow跟随;make使,让;take拿,取;embrace拥抱。故选A。
7.句意:当我们到达她家的时候,她的丈夫欢迎了我们。join加入;accept接受;greet欢迎,问候;assist帮助。由下文的He invited us to have coffee可知,那位女士的丈夫对作者一家的到来表示欢迎。
8.句意:他邀请我们喝咖啡,我们聊着天等着他妻子回来。talk about谈论;wait for等待;cheer up使振奋起来;pick up捡起,用车接。根据后句She came past 12.可知他的妻子12点之后才回家,因此他们应该是在等着她。
9.根据后面的so as not to disturb them可知作者想要悄悄地走,以免打扰对方。absolutely绝对地;definitely明确地;originally起初;secretly秘密地。故选D。
10.根据前文可知这对夫妇与作者一家本是完全的陌生人,此外还接纳了其他陌生人,因此作者一家感到很震惊。aware知道的,意识到的;angry生气的;amazed感到震惊的;anxious着急的。故选C。
11.根据后面的from different countries可知,此处表示“陌生人”,consumer消费者;stranger陌生人;relative亲戚;neighbor邻居。故选B。
12.句意:早饭后,在我们要离开的时候,我丈夫问他是否可以付一些钱。insist坚持;wander闲逛;approach靠近;leave离开。根据上文可知,作者一家人早餐后就离开。
13.句意参考上题。payment报偿;service服务;advice建议;food食物。根据常识可知,在对方家里住宿一晚,作者的丈夫应该是想给一些钱作为回报。
14.句意:我们保持了好多年的联系。line线,列;check检查;touch接触;mind头脑。根据后句Later we lost contact可知这一家与对方保持了很多年的联系,之后失去了联系。keep in touch保持联系。
15.句意:后来我们失去联系,但是多年来,我们一直没有忘记他们的善良。passion激情;eagerness渴望;kindness 善良;encouragement鼓励。那位女士一家让作者一家在他们家里免费住宿应该是一大善举。
第二节
答案：is ; usually; as; telephones; allowing; which; The; stressful; However; themselves
解析：本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了美国在校大学生为了昂贵的学费做兼职工作,或是全职工作来挣钱的现象。
①句子的主语是"a university education",为单数,且此处陈述一般性事实,因此be动词用is。故填is。
②修饰谓语动词work应用副词。故填usually。
③work as...意为“做……工作”,as是介词,意为“作为”。故填as。
④telephone是可数名词,其前无冠词和代词,所以此处应使用其复数形式。故填telephones。
⑤but后的分句中已有谓语动词have,所以此处是非谓语动词,做定语,修饰schedule, allow与schedule之间是逻辑上的主动关系,所以应用现在分词形式。故填allowing。
⑥"⑥______ they hope will help them find employment after they graduate"是非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面的一句话,引导词在从句中做hope的宾语。故填which。
⑦此处是特指工作和学习的双重责任,应使用定冠词。故填The。
⑧修饰后面的名词life应用形容词。故填stressful。
⑨前句说学生有压力,后句说这对很多人来说是唯一能支付大学学费的方式。前后句子构成转折关系,且设空后有逗号与后面的句子隔开,因此应用however,故填However。
⑩此处指“学生他们自己”,应使用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
第三节
答案：

Dear Eric,
I am having a one-week trip in London with my parents now. We're having a great time during the trip. We visited the British Museum on the first day, which had a great number of amazing collections. We also went to Buckingham Palace, which every traveler couldn't miss when visiting London. Tomorrow we plan to go to Hyde Park and have a picnic there. So many famous attractions in London! I sent you an email last night with some photos of my trip that I'd like to share with you. I hope you have received it.

第二节
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. "Mum, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yogurt " I explained that if we were blind to the poor man's situation, he would be freezing. He didn't have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare $5 even if we were financially stressed. Finally, my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yogurt.
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn't have done. He looked at his yogurt and handed it to the man outside his window. It was just a matter of a few spoonfuls of yogurt, but it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I was doing well as a mother. There is always kindness if we open our eyes, and we always have the opportunity to pass kindness to someone else.

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often the whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains had been their favourite relatives. This was the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always travelled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen newspapers and magazines to read and reread. I looked around the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my 21st Century Teens.
It was not long before the train was rattling across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Bahru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I had been looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey, by train.

When I was 3 years old, I was found to be deaf in my left ear and have a small problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I've never lived in a state of self-hating sorrow.
Imagine being able to shut out all sounds as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That's my reality when I sleep on my "good ear", and it even makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.
People call my deaf side my "bad ear", but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features(特征) that some other deaf people don't.
In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
Having a hearing aid hasn't always felt good, however.
On the first day I got my aid, when I was 8, I took it to school for show-and-tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, "Aren't those for old men "
At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers(同龄人).
But it's not just school kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens(负担).
Every video on social media that lacks subtitles, for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it.
Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.
And with hearing aids costing around $ 2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to the things that others take for granted.
As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations—I'm lucky.
I'm deaf, but I can still hear everything. I've been blessed with wonderful life experiences.
1.The author once feel different from his peers because ________.
A.he can't hear anything
B.he was laughed at by his classmates
C.he couldn't enjoy without subtitles
D.he could shut out all sounds when sleeping on his good ear
2.Deaf people may have the following burdens EXCEPT ________.
A.being unable to afford hearing aids B.being unable to enjoy videos without subtitles
C.being embarrassed in front of their peers D.being blessed with wonderful experiences
3.What does the underlined phrase "are excluded from" probably mean
A.Are prevented from. B.Are limited to. C.Are separated from. D.Are reduced to.
4.What is the author's attitude toward his hearing difficulty
A.It was a tough reality and caused him a lot of trouble.
B.It was a time of great sorrow and made him feel sad.
C.It gave him a chance to experience something special.
D.It helped him to live in his own world without sound.
D
One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂) on earth'.
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of seaside holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungle of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund development of health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holidaymakers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious indigenous trees and plants.
Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism, but the people rapidly feel its effects as well. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The previous farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive their customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism will be handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years' time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
1.What is the example of Nepal used to suggest
A.Its natural resources are untouched.
B.Its forests are exploited for farmland.
C.It develops well in health and education.
D.It suffers from the heavy flow of tourists.
2.What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4
A.They are happy to work their own land.
B.They have to please the tourists for a living.
C.They have to struggle for their independence.
D.They are proud of working in multinational organizations.
3.Which of the following will determine the future of tourism
A.The number of tourists. B.The improvement of services.
C.The promotion of new products. D.The management of tourism.
4.What is the author's attitude towards the development of the tourist industry
A.Optimistic. B.Doubtful. C.Objective. D.Negative.

It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yogurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yogurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard in the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wasted a parent's money and made me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when the big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, "It's just yogurt. What's the big deal " So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yogurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then—bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot(鼻涕) frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help him. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.

第二部分 语言知识运用
第一节
1-5.BABDC; 6-10.ACBDC; 11-15.BDACC
解析：1.句意:我们认为我们不用提前预订就可以在路上找到一家宾馆。order点菜;book(向旅馆)预订;seek寻找;exchange交换。根据后句中的we started looking for a hotel, only to find that all the hotels were full可知作者没有提前订宾馆。预订宾馆用动词book。
2.句意:最终,在晚上大约9点的时候,我们在一个加油站停下来,eventually最终;incredibly难以置信地;typically典型地;luckily幸运地。上文提到作者他们找了很长时间的宾馆,所以此处表示他们最终在一家加油站停下来。
3.句意:我丈夫告诉柜台后的那位女士我们正努力地找宾馆。manage勉力完成(强调做成某事);struggle努力;decide决定;fail失败。根据上文可知作者一家没有找到宾馆,所以这里指“努力找宾馆”,struggle to do sth.努力做某事。
4.句意:她告诉我们在旺季,这么晚的时间里找到宾馆是不可能的。unnecessary不必要的;informal非正式的;improper不合适的;impossible不可能的。根据本句中的at such late time in a busy season可知,此处强调现在想找到宾馆根本不可能。
5.句意:尽管很惊讶于她的提议,我们还是欣然接受了。employment雇用;request要求;offer主动提议;admission承认。此处应该是指这位女士提出让我们暂住她的家里。
6.上句提到作者一家接受了那位女士的提议,因此此处应该是跟着车去她的家里。follow跟随;make使,让;take拿,取;embrace拥抱。故选A。
7.句意:当我们到达她家的时候,她的丈夫欢迎了我们。join加入;accept接受;greet欢迎,问候;assist帮助。由下文的He invited us to have coffee可知,那位女士的丈夫对作者一家的到来表示欢迎。
8.句意:他邀请我们喝咖啡,我们聊着天等着他妻子回来。talk about谈论;wait for等待;cheer up使振奋起来;pick up捡起,用车接。根据后句She came past 12.可知他的妻子12点之后才回家,因此他们应该是在等着她。
9.根据后面的so as not to disturb them可知作者想要悄悄地走,以免打扰对方。absolutely绝对地;definitely明确地;originally起初;secretly秘密地。故选D。
10.根据前文可知这对夫妇与作者一家本是完全的陌生人,此外还接纳了其他陌生人,因此作者一家感到很震惊。aware知道的,意识到的;angry生气的;amazed感到震惊的;anxious着急的。故选C。
11.根据后面的from different countries可知,此处表示“陌生人”,consumer消费者;stranger陌生人;relative亲戚;neighbor邻居。故选B。
12.句意:早饭后,在我们要离开的时候,我丈夫问他是否可以付一些钱。insist坚持;wander闲逛;approach靠近;leave离开。根据上文可知,作者一家人早餐后就离开。
13.句意参考上题。payment报偿;service服务;advice建议;food食物。根据常识可知,在对方家里住宿一晚,作者的丈夫应该是想给一些钱作为回报。
14.句意:我们保持了好多年的联系。line线,列;check检查;touch接触;mind头脑。根据后句Later we lost contact可知这一家与对方保持了很多年的联系,之后失去了联系。keep in touch保持联系。
15.句意:后来我们失去联系,但是多年来,我们一直没有忘记他们的善良。passion激情;eagerness渴望;kindness 善良;encouragement鼓励。那位女士一家让作者一家在他们家里免费住宿应该是一大善举。
第二节
答案：is ; usually; as; telephones; allowing; which; The; stressful; However; themselves
解析：本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了美国在校大学生为了昂贵的学费做兼职工作,或是全职工作来挣钱的现象。
①句子的主语是"a university education",为单数,且此处陈述一般性事实,因此be动词用is。故填is。
②修饰谓语动词work应用副词。故填usually。
③work as...意为“做……工作”,as是介词,意为“作为”。故填as。
④telephone是可数名词,其前无冠词和代词,所以此处应使用其复数形式。故填telephones。
⑤but后的分句中已有谓语动词have,所以此处是非谓语动词,做定语,修饰schedule, allow与schedule之间是逻辑上的主动关系,所以应用现在分词形式。故填allowing。
⑥"⑥______ they hope will help them find employment after they graduate"是非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面的一句话,引导词在从句中做hope的宾语。故填which。
⑦此处是特指工作和学习的双重责任,应使用定冠词。故填The。
⑧修饰后面的名词life应用形容词。故填stressful。
⑨前句说学生有压力,后句说这对很多人来说是唯一能支付大学学费的方式。前后句子构成转折关系,且设空后有逗号与后面的句子隔开,因此应用however,故填However。
⑩此处指“学生他们自己”,应使用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。

第二节
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. "Mum, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yogurt " I explained that if we were blind to the poor man's situation, he would be freezing. He didn't have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare $5 even if we were financially stressed. Finally, my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yogurt.
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn't have done. He looked at his yogurt and handed it to the man outside his window. It was just a matter of a few spoonfuls of yogurt, but it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I was doing well as a mother. There is always kindness if we open our eyes, and we always have the opportunity to pass kindness to someone else.
