（2022下·北京·高二景山学校校考期中）I was 11 when I asked my mum for piano lessons. We were in an economic crisis and she’d recently been 71 off. She said a polite “no”.
That didn’t discourage me. I drew a keyboard onto a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would 72 notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. As my mum found I was serious about it, she bought me 10 lessons with borrowed money.
I still remember the first one. I was 73 by how organic the sound of the piano was, as I had become familiar with the artificial electronic sound. The teacher was trying to explain where middle C was, but I could 74 play all the major and minor scales.
I sat my grade one after eight lessons and got distinction. By the time I started secondary school, we couldn’t 75 lessons again, so I returned to my paper keyboard. I passed grade three, then grade five, practising only on my piece of paper.
For the grades above that, there’s an expectation that you add a certain sensitivity into your playing. The music teacher at my school said I could practise on the school’s grand piano. I would wake up at 5:30 am to get there in time and play until lessons started. I’d 76 lunch and then practise after school until the caretaker kicked me out. At home, I’d have dinner, do three hours of revision, and then mental practice until 1:00 am.
My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. The audition (试镜) was extremely 77 , and I felt overwhelmed. To my amazement, I was offered a place.
I had been told I had started playing too late to reach conservatoire (音乐学院) level, but when I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize. That was the point when I realized I wasn’t behind everyone else. I am now at the Guildhall School in London, where I was offered a scholarship. I feel proud: it’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano and I’m at one of the world’s 78 conservatoires.
The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano — what we call mental practice. It 79 key areas of the mind that are less readily accessed by piano playing alone. The paper piano helped stimulate my 80 about how music works.

I had set my sights on a summer 93 that I was determined to get at the Water Zone, because the employees there could go on the water rides after their work and get free food at the snack bar. It was the 94 job to have on hot summer vacations. So just as I had achieved every goal in the past, I set out to 95 the job. I was certain that nothing could keep me from my dream job.
After my 96 , the manager of the Water Zone told me that he could hire only those with experience in water safety. I felt like a failure.
On the last weekend before school ended, my teacher, Mrs. Keller, asked me whether I would be interested in the kids’ summer day camp. I decided that I had nothing to 97 , so I called the manager. She was 98 by my babysitting experience and employed me. In less than a week, I had completely forgotten about wanting work at the water park. Each time I comforted a little boy who missed his mother or a little girl who needed to help tying her shoes, I felt I was doing something 99 . I realized that I had discovered my life’s purpose: to work with children. I now have a new goal.
Sometimes in life we don’t get exactly what we want. It’s natural to feel 100 . But, occasionally, when we don’t get what we want, something even better is waiting for us around the corner!

（2022下·北京·高二人大附中校考期中）When I was three, I had a very good friend named Gemma. She was fearless where I was anxious, 101 where I was conservative and skillful where I was clumsy. She was also entirely imaginary.
I can’t remember when or how I “met” Gemma, and, perhaps sadder still, I don’t remember the last time I “saw” her. Even though my brain created her, she 102 me to go on adventures I would not have had the confidence to embark upon without her. So it saddened me to see the results of a recent survey showing 72% of nursery workers believed children have fewer 103 friends than they did five years ago, with 63% believing this to be a result of increased screen time.
It’s thought that 40% of us had imaginary friends during our 104 . In an essay, the researchers found that 81% of those surveyed had “lost” their imaginary friends after they turned 10, but most of these friendships ended 105 . Perhaps imaginary friends simply stay with us for as long as we need them, moving on when our lives become too full and loaded for our brains to make space to generate their own 106 .
If you’ve enjoyed an imaginary friendship, I’d guess that you did not consciously sit down to create a perfect pal-they probably arrived 107 , as an indication of thoughts and ideas you never knew you had. Our imaginary friends prompt us to explore and honour our curiosity. It is very hard to make the time and the space to do this as an adult. In order to be a good 108 to an imaginary friend, you need to be able to make “what if ” into an exciting plan. When we grow up. we’re too quick to finish the sentence with, “what if it goes wrong ”
As an adult, we might not still need imaginary friends, but maybe we need to be reminded that a little bit of 109 is good for us, and that our brains can conjure up (想起) the best ideas when they are left to their own devices. If there are fewer imaginary friends populating the worlds that our children live in, that might lead to a future with fewer artists, writers and problem-solvers, which is a real cause for 110 .

（2022下·北京·高二101中学校考期中）I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left 111 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 112
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, when children from different races and religions played and studied together in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s throw from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just 113 our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well meant or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we’d 114 the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to come across the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his 115 .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I 116 touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I 117 my destination. The driver acknowledged my 118 but did not move off. Instead, he looked fixedly at me. “Raddar ” he said, using my childhood nickname. I was astonished at being so 119 addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two decades we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 120 to describe.
If we can allow our children to be themselves without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be by their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and then we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “We happy few. We band of brothers”.

Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great 12 . They shook and pulled, but the restraining string and the cumbersome tail kept them in tow, facing upwards and against the wind.

Finally, one of the kites 14 in breaking loose from it. Free at last, it seemed to say, “Free to fly with the wind.” Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the 15 of the unsympathetic wind.

（2023下·北京·高二人大附中校考期中）War started in our house in late July with a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills over what college I was to attend. Mom wanted me to attend a famous nursing school, and I wanted to go to a small writing college. Every night for two weeks, we argued, shouted, and gave 21 treatments until both sides went to bed with regrets.
It was mostly my fault. Since my junior year of high school, I had 22 at being a nurse. I took all the science courses and even worked as a volunteer in my town’s local hospital. My goal was to help the sick and be a superwoman to the world.

If it was her choice not to 27 any of my college education, then I would take a year off to work and earn money so I could go to the college I wanted.
Standing by my decision to be a writer had 28 my firm belief to my mom. Finally, we were at 29 , and she decided to support me, which meant the world to me.

But soon enough, his 31 took a turn. After letting go of his anger and frustration, he found himself on a road to sympathy instead.
For Robbie, a keen bicyclist, the first thing to do was 32 his stolen bike. But when he went shopping, he found few available, which got him thinking: What if the lack of bikes was Covid-19 related, and what if the person who’d taken his bike really needed 33 to get to work
With that thought in mind, Robbie came up with a plan and posted it on the community website. He 34 to fix bikes free of charge for anyone who needed it. He also asked for unwanted bikes, which he would repair — again for free. And then he would donate them to folks who could truly use them but didn’t have the 35 to buy one.

So when talking about my job, I said that the court clerk didn’t do anything; since there was no court, it didn’t matter who they voted for. I thought I was being 55 and cool.
As I exited, however, I was 56 by an angry Mr. Roberge, the Student Council advisor. He took me aside and criticized me, using whatever 57 words he could think of. I can’t exactly remember what he said. But I was forced to realize I had developed the disease of not caring, and the cancer of a lack of 58 .
I cannot say Mr. Roberge 59 me then and there. But since that day I have been much more aware of my struggles to be respectful for people and for myself. Mr. Roberge changed the 60 of my life, by maybe a few centimeters. But that difference has accumulated over time, and I am not the person I would have been.

（2022下·北京·高二北京市第五中学校考期中）Born in America, I spoke English, not Chinese, the language of my ancestors. When I was three, my parents flashed cards with Chinese 61 at my face, but I pushed them aside. My mom believed I would learn when I was 62 . But the time never came.
On a Chinese New Year’s Eve, my uncle spoke to me in Chinese, but all I could do was to 63 at him, confused, scratching my head. “ Still can’t speak Chinese ” He laughed at me, “ You can’t even buy a fish in Chinatown. ” “ Hey, this is America, not China. I’ll get some right now with or without Chinese. ” I replied and turned to my mom for permission. “Remember to ask for fresh fish, Xin Xian Yu,” she said, handing over a $20 bill. I 64 the words, running downstairs into the streets of Chinatown.
I found the fish stand surrounded in a sea of customers. “ I’d like to buy some fresh fish, ” I shouted to the 65 . But he ignored my English words and turned to serve the next customer. The laugh of the people behind increased with their impatience. With every 66 , the breath of the dragons (龙) on my back grew stronger — my blood boiling — forcing me to cry out. “Xian Sheng Yu, please. ” “ Very Xian Sheng, ” I repeated. The crowd burst into 67 . My face turned red and I ran back home 68 , except for the $20 bill I held tightly in my pocket.
Should I laugh or cry They’re Chinese. I should feel right at home. Instead, I was the joke, a disgrace (丢脸) to the language. Sometimes, I laugh at my fish 69 , but, in the end, the joke is on me. Every laugh is a culture 70 ; every laugh is my heritage (传统) fading away.

（2022下·北京·高二景山学校校考期中）I was 11 when I asked my mum for piano lessons. We were in an economic crisis and she’d recently been 71 off. She said a polite “no”.
That didn’t discourage me. I drew a keyboard onto a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would 72 notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. As my mum found I was serious about it, she bought me 10 lessons with borrowed money.
I still remember the first one. I was 73 by how organic the sound of the piano was, as I had become familiar with the artificial electronic sound. The teacher was trying to explain where middle C was, but I could 74 play all the major and minor scales.
I sat my grade one after eight lessons and got distinction. By the time I started secondary school, we couldn’t 75 lessons again, so I returned to my paper keyboard. I passed grade three, then grade five, practising only on my piece of paper.
For the grades above that, there’s an expectation that you add a certain sensitivity into your playing. The music teacher at my school said I could practise on the school’s grand piano. I would wake up at 5:30 am to get there in time and play until lessons started. I’d 76 lunch and then practise after school until the caretaker kicked me out. At home, I’d have dinner, do three hours of revision, and then mental practice until 1:00 am.
My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. The audition (试镜) was extremely 77 , and I felt overwhelmed. To my amazement, I was offered a place.
I had been told I had started playing too late to reach conservatoire (音乐学院) level, but when I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize. That was the point when I realized I wasn’t behind everyone else. I am now at the Guildhall School in London, where I was offered a scholarship. I feel proud: it’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano and I’m at one of the world’s 78 conservatoires.
The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano — what we call mental practice. It 79 key areas of the mind that are less readily accessed by piano playing alone. The paper piano helped stimulate my 80 about how music works.

（2022下·北京昌平·高二昌平一中校考期中）Years ago, there was a very wealthy man who, with his devoted young son, shared a passion for art collecting. Together, they traveled around the world, adding only the 81 art treasures to their collection.
One year, as winter approached, war engulfed (吞没) the nation, and the young man left to 82 his country. After only a few short weeks, his father received a telegram. His beloved son was 83 in action. The art collector 84 awaited more news, 85 he would never see his son again. Within days, his fears were 86 . The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a doctor.
Upset and 87 , the old man faced the coming Christmas holidays with sadness. On Christmas morning, a knock on the door awakened the sad old man. As he opened the door, he was greeted by a soldier with a large package in his hands.
He introduced himself to the old man by saying,“I was a friend of your son. I was the one he was 88 when he died. May I come in for a few moments I have something to show you.”
As the two began to talk, the soldier told of how the man’s son had told everyone of his, not to mention his father’s love of fine art. “I am no 89 ,” said the soldier, “but I want to give you this.”
As the old man unwrapped the package, he saw a 90 of his son. Though the world would never consider it the work of a genius, the painting featured the young man’s face in striking detail.
Overcome with emotion, the man thanked the soldier. After the soldier had left, the old man put the painting above the fireplace, pushing off thousands of dollars worth of art. His task completed, the old man sat in his chair and spent Christmas gazing at the gift he had been given.

（2022下·北京·高二校考期中）From Disappointment to Purpose
I’m known for my determination. If I want something, I go for it. Over the years this 91 has worked well for me and helped me achieve my goals. When I wanted to be on the dance team at school, I learned all the dances and practiced until I could hardly 92 .
But this year everything changed. I had set my sights on a summer 93 that I was determined to get at the Water Zone, because the employees there could go on the water rides after their work and get free food at the snack bar. It was the 94 job to have on hot summer vacations. So just as I had achieved every goal in the past, I set out to 95 the job. I was certain that nothing could keep me from my dream job.
After my 96 , the manager of the Water Zone told me that he could hire only those with experience in water safety. I felt like a failure.
On the last weekend before school ended, my teacher, Mrs. Keller, asked me whether I would be interested in the kids’ summer day camp. I decided that I had nothing to 97 , so I called the manager. She was 98 by my babysitting experience and employed me. In less than a week, I had completely forgotten about wanting work at the water park. Each time I comforted a little boy who missed his mother or a little girl who needed to help tying her shoes, I felt I was doing something 99 . I realized that I had discovered my life’s purpose: to work with children. I now have a new goal.
Sometimes in life we don’t get exactly what we want. It’s natural to feel 100 . But, occasionally, when we don’t get what we want, something even better is waiting for us around the corner!

（2022下·北京·高二人大附中校考期中）When I was three, I had a very good friend named Gemma. She was fearless where I was anxious, 101 where I was conservative and skillful where I was clumsy. She was also entirely imaginary.
I can’t remember when or how I “met” Gemma, and, perhaps sadder still, I don’t remember the last time I “saw” her. Even though my brain created her, she 102 me to go on adventures I would not have had the confidence to embark upon without her. So it saddened me to see the results of a recent survey showing 72% of nursery workers believed children have fewer 103 friends than they did five years ago, with 63% believing this to be a result of increased screen time.
It’s thought that 40% of us had imaginary friends during our 104 . In an essay, the researchers found that 81% of those surveyed had “lost” their imaginary friends after they turned 10, but most of these friendships ended 105 . Perhaps imaginary friends simply stay with us for as long as we need them, moving on when our lives become too full and loaded for our brains to make space to generate their own 106 .
If you’ve enjoyed an imaginary friendship, I’d guess that you did not consciously sit down to create a perfect pal-they probably arrived 107 , as an indication of thoughts and ideas you never knew you had. Our imaginary friends prompt us to explore and honour our curiosity. It is very hard to make the time and the space to do this as an adult. In order to be a good 108 to an imaginary friend, you need to be able to make “what if ” into an exciting plan. When we grow up. we’re too quick to finish the sentence with, “what if it goes wrong ”
As an adult, we might not still need imaginary friends, but maybe we need to be reminded that a little bit of 109 is good for us, and that our brains can conjure up (想起) the best ideas when they are left to their own devices. If there are fewer imaginary friends populating the worlds that our children live in, that might lead to a future with fewer artists, writers and problem-solvers, which is a real cause for 110 .

（2022下·北京·高二101中学校考期中）I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left 111 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 112
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, when children from different races and religions played and studied together in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s throw from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just 113 our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well meant or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we’d 114 the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to come across the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his 115 .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I 116 touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I 117 my destination. The driver acknowledged my 118 but did not move off. Instead, he looked fixedly at me. “Raddar ” he said, using my childhood nickname. I was astonished at being so 119 addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two decades we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 120 to describe.
If we can allow our children to be themselves without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be by their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and then we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “We happy few. We band of brothers”.
