二、完形填空（本题有 15小题，每小题 1分，共 15分）
阅读下面短文，从文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
I once had little passion(激情) in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind.
It was then that I learned how 16 it is to have a passion in life.
That day I went home in Mom’s car. When Mom 17 at a red light, someone on the side of
the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed 18 old clothes. He was homeless. That didn’t
interest me, because I had seen 19 like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and
hopeless.
But this man was 20 in some ways. He was not sitting down 21 but dancing happily to
the music with a 22 in his hand. The radio seemed to be the most important thing for him.
“Mom, why does that man have a radio 23 he’s homeless ” I asked.
“He 24 it,” she answered.
“ 25 why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes He paid for something that he
didn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”
That man must care more about 26 than food or clothes. I soon realized that 27 is the
key to life.
Since then I am always 28 what is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes—these
things are 29 parts of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light in a 30
day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness to keep going.
16. A. strange B. important C. dangerous D. difficult
17. A. stood B. stopped C. walked D. exercised
18. A. in B. on C. by D. for
19. A. none B. few C. all D. many
20. A. rude B. polite C. common D. different
21. A. sadly B. seriously C. proudly D. happily
22. A. coat B. phone C. radio D. scarf

24. A. made B. picked C. found D. bought
25. A. So B. Or C. But D. And
26. A. life B. music C. news D. stories
27. A. money B. health C. happiness D. friendship

him, “Mario, I don’ t think you have as many real friends as you think.”
Mario didn’t agree with his grandpa. However, he wasn’t sure who his real friends were. His
grandpa said, “I have something for you.” Grandpa left and soon came back. He seemed to carry
something in his hands, but Mario could see nothing there.
“Here is a special chair for you. You can’t see it because it’s invisible. When you sit on it, it
will help you know who your real friends are.”
Mario took the chair to school. He asked everyone to stand around him and his chair.“Look!

Mario tried to sit on the chair. Because he couldn’t see the chair, he fell to the ground.

chair, and kept falling to the ground ... On his last try, he didn’t fall.

For thousands of years, humans have explored(探索)the Earth. Nowadays, we are exploring
space. Astronomers (天文学家） are the modern-day explorers. Now, many astronomers are
looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers
start exploring
First of all, astronomers look for a star. That’s because our own Earth moves around a
star—the Sun. More importantly, it is neither too far from nor too near to the Sun for heat and
light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years,
astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are
either too near to the star or too far away.
However, if the planet is in a good place, astronomers look for three key things: water, air
and rock. Water is the most important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they
can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe（呼吸） and food to
eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That’s because there is often water under the rock.
After many years of exploring, astronomers have found a planet like the Earth. It’s Gliese
581g and it’s near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the temperature is
between -31°C and -12°C. That’s cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle. for
example, Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days, not
365 Earth days. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think
Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.
38. How do astronomers discover a new planet for humans to live on Choose the right order.
a. Astronomers look for three key things.
b. Astronomers look for and find a right star.
c. Astronomers look at the planets around the star.
A. a-b-c. B. b-a-c. C. b-c-a. D. c-a-b.
39. According to paragraph 3, which of the following things is the most important
A. Water. B. Air. C. Rock. D. Food.
40. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. the Earth B. Gliese 581g C. the Sun D. Gliese
41. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth. B. There are some planets like our Earth.
C. Water, air and rock are important. D. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth.
D
I was 15 months old, a happy carefree kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a
4
piece of glass that cut my eye badly. My mom found a doctor who knew that if the eye was
removed（摘掉）, my face would look ugly. From then on, my injured, sightless, cloudy gray eye
lived on with me.
Sometimes people asked me embarrassing (使人难堪的) questions. When kids played games,
I was always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on (瞧不起) me.
Yet Mom would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to depend
on that saying.
As a child, I thought mom meant, “Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something
because you are not looking.” As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found
that when I held my head up high, people liked me.
In high school, I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster.
All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my
mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the
world. Let them see the beauty that is inside.”
When I met the man who became my husband, we looked each other straight in the eye, and
he told me I was beautiful inside and out.
My mom’s love was the sunshine that made me bright that gave me confidence. I had faced
hardships, and learned not only to appreciate(欣赏） myself but also to have deep compassion (怜
悯) for others.
“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. Each of my children has
felt its invitation. I say it to my children. The gift my mom gave me will live on.
42. Why did the writer’s mother tell her to hold her head up high and face the world
A. Because her mother wanted to be careful.
B. Because her mother wanted her to be confident.
C. Because her mother didn’t want her to be seen as a “monster”.
D. Because her mother wanted to stop her from getting hurt.
43. Which of the following is the correct order
a. I met the man who became my husband
b. I landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly.
c. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me.
d. In high school I even became the class president.
A. b-c-d-a B. a-c-b-d C. b-d-a-c D.c-b-d-a
44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A. The writer was always confident after the accident.
B. The writer looked like everyone else in high school.
C. The writer found though she held her head up, someone didn't like her.
D. The writer gave her children encouragement and love, as her mother had given her.
45. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. My Mom’s Gift to Me. B. How I Found My Husband.
C. My Terrible Childhood Accident. D. Disability Is No Shame.
46. What does the writer want to tell us through her own story

Dear Thomas,
I'm glad to hear from you. It 52 (听起来) like you’re having a difficult time, but don’t
worry, because you’re not 53 (单独的). Lots of people are shy and there are lots of reasons for
shyness. Some people are born shy, others are taught to be quiet as children.
If someone 54 (大笑) at you in public, that bad experience may have influenced (影响)
your confidence. If being shy is a 55 (问题) for you, don’t worry too much! It’s not difficult to
become more confident — it just takes lots of practice.
First, 56 (交流 ) with your friends and family as often as possible. Instead of just
listening, make sure you give your opinions, too.
Next, move on to speaking in larger 57 (组) or in small ones of strangers. If you get 58
(紧张的), it’s a good idea to stop and take a deep breath — that will help you relax.
Finally, try to be more 59 (活跃的). Try putting your hand up in class to share your ideas.
If you make a 60 (凌乱) one day, don't give up; it gets easier with time. Just remember: your
voice counts just as much as others! Also, you need to 61 (参加) some competitions at your
school, which will make you outgoing.
Good luck, Thomas, and let me know how you get on!

A few years ago, my teacher asked me 62 (take) part in her programme to help disabled
(残疾的) children. Each week I spent an hour in the classroom 63 (help) these children with
their schoolwork. My mother is a teacher, 64 I knew how to help children. However, I didn’t
know the children could change my life 65 (slow). In the beginning, I thought it might be
boring to be with these children, but later, I learned a lot from 66 (they).
One day, I read 67 story to the children. The story told them that the disabled could do
great things too. After that, I helped them draw heroes in the story. I could clearly tell that they felt
68 (happy) than before from their smiling faces. Then I knew 69 my teacher set up the
program.
So far, I 70 (work) with these children for three years. Not only they but also I know that
71 is important to be confident. I hope we all can remember this no matter what happens to us
in the future.

6

I have been busy with my study and seldom helped my parents with the housework. However, I began to help parents with some housework last weekend. Firstly, I cleaned the room. I swept the floor, made my bed and took out the rubbish. Then I put away the things. All the things were in place and the house looked really tidy. More importantly, I even began to learn cooking by surfing the Internet. Although I failed several times, I still managed to cook some delicious dishes.
After doing a day’s housework, I felt kind of tired but happy. I realized that I should be responsible for the housework as a family member and showed love and respect to my parents.
