二、完形填空
I still remember my kindergarten (幼儿园) teacher, Mrs. White. She looked just like Snow White, 　6.　 she had the same bright eyes and short dark hair.
We used to 　7.　 a lot. And I would show what I wrote to Mrs. White for correction (批改). She would look at my writing and see many mistakes in it. But she 　8.　 made any red correction and she always gave a star. I was feeling 　9.　 of my writing each time I got a star. But it 　10.　 my mother. So one day, when she met Mrs. White at a parent-teacher meeting. Mom asked her why she never corrected my 　11.　 and why she never said no to her child.
Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get 　12.　 about using words. Spelling and grammar can wait. We can't 　13.　 that interest with a red pen.” As it was a long time ago, my mother could only remember the main idea of 　14.　 Mrs. White said about my writing. However, I grew up learning to use words with loving care and 　15.　 like that.
If Mrs. White had used her red pen more often, I 　16.　 wouldn't be telling you about this now. Whenever I look back at those encouraging 　17.　 from Mrs. White, I feel they just look 　18.　 real ones in the night sky—bright, shiny, and guiding me on my way somewhere. I do believe she was such a 　19.　 teacher, who tried to use a red pen less to keep the joy, wonder and excitement in a child's 　20.　.
Thanks to Mrs. White, I have no fear about writing. Also, I'm not afraid of any mistake in my life!

三、阅读理解
(真情境)Billy Dengler, a 14.-year-old boy, is in the eighth grade. When he was born a month, Bill's mother, Terri, noticed that his eyes weren't quite as big as a normal baby's. She took Bill to the hospital, and the doctor said Billy would never be able to see.
Although Billy can't see, he has never let that hold him back or make him different. Billy began teaching himself computer programming by using a screen reader when he was just seven years old. He is a certified Google developer now. Google even tried to offer him a job last year when he discovered a problem in one of its systems, but Billy wasn't old enough.
Billy's dream school would be Stanford University or MIT, where he could get a very good education in computer science. After he leaves school, whether he will go to work at a company like Google or build a software company of his own is still to be decided.
