九、完形填空（10分）
DIY is a great way to show our creativity and improve our hands-on skills. Last year, our school held a DIY competition. I decided to take part in it and make a model house.
First, I needed to 1______ a plan. I thought about what materials to use and how to design the house. I decided to use waste materials like cardboard boxes and old newspapers to make it, which was not only environmentally friendly but also could save money. Then, I started collecting the materials. I asked my family and friends to give me their used cardboard boxes and newspapers.
After collecting all the materials, I began to work on the model house. First, I cut the cardboard boxes into different shapes to make the walls, floor and roof of the house. It was not easy. I had to be very careful to make sure all the parts were the right size. Sometimes, I cut the cardboard too small and had to start over. Then, I used glue to 2______ all the parts together. When the basic structure was finished, I started to decorate the house. I used old newspapers to make small furniture like chairs and tables. I also painted the walls with colorful paints to make the house look more beautiful.
During the process, I met many difficulties. For example, the roof kept falling off. I tried many times to fix it, but it still didn’t work. I felt very 3______ and wanted to give up. But my mother encouraged me to keep trying. She told me that failure was a part of learning and that I should learn from my mistakes. With her encouragement, I tried a new way to fix the roof. This time, it worked! I was very excited.
Finally, I finished the model house. It looked very beautiful, with a small garden in front of it. I took it to school for the competition. Many students and teachers praised my work. Although I didn’t win the first prize, I still felt very proud. This experience taught me that DIY is not just about making things. It’s also about 4______ perseverance and solving problems.
Now, I often do DIY work in my free time. I have made many things, like pencil cases, photo frames and even a small bookshelf. Every time I finish a DIY project, I feel a sense of achievement.

十、阅读理解（选择最佳答案）（10分）
Passage 1
DIY, short for “Do It Yourself”, is a trend that has been growing in popularity around the world. It refers to the practice of building, modifying, or repairing things on your own rather than hiring a professional.
One of the main reasons people love DIY is that it saves money. Hiring someone to do simple tasks like repairing a leaky faucet or painting a room can be expensive. By doing these tasks yourself, you can cut down on costs significantly. For example, painting a room by yourself only requires buying paint and brushes, which is much cheaper than paying a painter.
Another reason for the popularity of DIY is that it allows people to express their creativity. When you do DIY work, you can design things according to your own preferences. You can choose the colors, materials, and styles that you like. This makes the things you make unique and special. For instance, you can make a photo frame with your favorite colors and patterns, which can’t be found in stores.
DIY also helps people develop new skills. When you try to make or repair something, you need to learn how to use different tools and follow instructions. This process helps you improve your hands-on skills and problem-solving abilities. You may even discover a new hobby or interest through DIY.
However, DIY is not without challenges. It requires time and patience. Some DIY projects can be very time-consuming, and you may make mistakes along the way. It’s important to be prepared for failure and learn from your mistakes. Additionally, some DIY tasks, like electrical work or plumbing, can be dangerous if not done correctly. In such cases, it’s better to hire a professional to avoid accidents.
Overall, DIY is a great way to save money, express creativity, and develop new skills. With the right attitude and preparation, anyone can enjoy the fun and benefits of DIY.
