1．考查副词词义辨析。A. However 然而；B. Therefore因此；C. Besides 除此以外；D. Finally最终。上一句的句意是：人们一直认为《金银岛》一书是史蒂文森凭空想象出来的，后面的句意是“最近的一项研究发现这部令人激动的作品的一些真实的经历”。显然，两句具有转折关系（然而）。结合选项，故选A。

3．考查名词词义辨析。A. meeting 会议；B. story故事；C. holiday 假期；D. job 工作。根据第三段中第一句Each morning Stevenson would take them out ... over the hills,可判断他们每天早上是爬山游玩，可以断定回国是为了“度假”，故选C。

Life is meant to be lived. No excuses. No reservations. No holding back.
An inspiring story about violinist Fritz · Kreisler tells how he once 41 a beautiful violin he wanted to acquire. When he finally 42 the money for the violin, he returned to buy it and learned that it had already been sold to a(n) 43 .
He went to the new owner’s home in order to try to 44 him to sell the violin. But the collector said it was one of his 45 possessions and he could not let it go.
Disappointed Kreisler turned to leave, but then 46 a favour. “May I play the instrument once more 47 it is placed to silence？”
48 was given and the great musician began to play. The violin sang out a piece of quality music, so 49 that the collector himself could only listen in wonderment. “I have no 50 to keep that to myself.” he said after the musician finished. “The violin is yours, Mr. Kreisler. Take it into the world, and let people 51 it.”
William Arthur Ward said, “If you believe in prayer, pray; if you believe in serving, serve; if you believe in giving, give.” For you and I are fine violin—our music is 52 to be heard.

A Love Note to My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling 21 in your life. Little did I know you were 22 every penny you earned to go to 23 school.
I cannot thank you enough for 24 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried 25 piles of law books. I was 26 . Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for 27 When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms 28 be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was, that statement kept 29 in my ears. I watched as you faced the 30 of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a 31 and a Mom of five kids. I was exhausted just watching you 32 . With your words of wisdom in my 33 mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world 34 . I set out to live my life filled with 35 seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I 36 found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) 37 one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said, “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your 38 , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and 39 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m 40 it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

Life is meant to be lived. No excuses. No reservations. No holding back.
An inspiring story about violinist Fritz · Kreisler tells how he once 41 a beautiful violin he wanted to acquire. When he finally 42 the money for the violin, he returned to buy it and learned that it had already been sold to a(n) 43 .
He went to the new owner’s home in order to try to 44 him to sell the violin. But the collector said it was one of his 45 possessions and he could not let it go.
Disappointed Kreisler turned to leave, but then 46 a favour. “May I play the instrument once more 47 it is placed to silence？”
48 was given and the great musician began to play. The violin sang out a piece of quality music, so 49 that the collector himself could only listen in wonderment. “I have no 50 to keep that to myself.” he said after the musician finished. “The violin is yours, Mr. Kreisler. Take it into the world, and let people 51 it.”
William Arthur Ward said, “If you believe in prayer, pray; if you believe in serving, serve; if you believe in giving, give.” For you and I are fine violin—our music is 52 to be heard.
I want to live my life that way—to take it into the world and live it 53 . I’d rather burn out than rust out(锈尽). I’d rather be used up than die not having done 54 I can.
I’m not talking about 55 ourselves out on over-activity. Happiness is 56 found in excessive(过度) busyness. But it is found in 57 our lives in others. Say yes when asked for a hand. Volunteer some time for a worthwhile organization and 58 an hour with a lonely relative.
In the end, I know that my 59 is not only about my ability or my inability. It is about my 60 . My life is meant to be lived.
