“There were two cats playing on the roof. 6????, they fell into the chimney (烟囱). When they climbed out of the chimney, one cat's face was dirty 7???? the other's face was clean.

The dirty-faced cat saw the clean-faced one, thinking its own face was clean as well, so it walked happily in the street.”
“Einstein, 9???? can be your mirror (镜子). Only you are your own mirror. Some of the kids are not strict with themselves. If you take them to be your mirror, even a 10???? person may become stupid.” Hearing this, Ein-stein's face turned red. He put down his fishing net and returned to his small room.
After that, Einstein often took himself as a mirror to be 11???? with himself and kept telling himself, “I am special, so I needn't be as common as others.” This was why Einstein 12???? in his career.

I always think my daughter Kendall is the best—that's just what parents do. When she was only three, she 1???? for the people, like a little angel.
When Kendall was five, we noticed that she 2???? had a tic (面部抽搐). When the problem got worse, we took her from doctor to doctor. 3???? the treatment, Kendall continued to sing. Surprisingly, her tics disappeared when she sang.
When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she would be cured soon. However, a(n) 4???? thing happened.
At a party, Kendall jumped on a friend for a piggyback ride. He bent lower than she expected, and she jumped 5???? than he expected. Kendall flew over his back and 6???? on the floor—on her neck. She was rushed to hospital, paralyzed (瘫痪) from the neck down. She couldn't 7????. But her biggest 8???? wasn't whether she would walk again, but was whether she could try out for a show called American Idol.
As the days went on, feeling on her left side 9????, but she was still paralyzed on the right. We weren't sure how much of her 10???? would come back. A friend brought a microphone and put it on her bed. Every day, Kendall tried hard to pick it up. It was more 11???? for her to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork.
Sometimes she had to bite a toothbrush to take her mind off the pain. We all cried because of the 12???? we witnessed. But on the day—only three months after her 13????—we cried full of joy when she sang, 14???? she didn't enter the Top 24 of American Idol.
When she was a little girl, she asked me 15???? it was she that had tics. My heart hurt, but I told her, “Kendall, you have a pure heart, a fantastic voice, and a strong mind. And you are a beautiful presence.”

For used toiletries(things like soap and toothpaste that are used for cleaning yourself)there is a company which accepts them, and the couple regularly mails their waste to it.

“It's 14???? us at our fingertips.”Yu expects some of her friends to 15???? her on the road to zero waste. As the saying goes, many hands make light work.

[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们人类婴儿和其他哺乳动物是有区别的。其他哺乳动物一出生就会行走,但是人类婴儿在出生后却需要成年人的帮助,并且需要在以后的几个月通过努力逐渐学会一些基本技能。
1.B 文章一开始就告诉我们大部分哺乳动物一出生就会做很多事。其中一件事就是如果危险来临,有些哺乳动物能够跑掉。food食物;danger 危险;waste 废弃物;peace 和平。根据常识及句中的run away可知,遇到危险,这些哺乳动物会跑掉。故选B项。

7.B 含混不清地说话是人类婴儿学习说话的方式。why 为何;how 如何;which 哪一个;where 哪里。根据句意选B项。
8.A 大概要花九个月的时间婴儿才能学会真正说出一些词。It will take...before...为固定句型,意为“要过多久才……”,故选A项。
9.C 很快他们就会独立地到处跑了!look 看;show 展示,显示;run 跑;sit 坐。故选C项。
10.D 婴儿的第一年是成长和学习的一年。speak说;smile微笑;cry哭;learn学习。该段是整篇文章的总结段落,根据前文及最后一句可知选D项。长难句

Body image—the way people feel about their looks—is a big problem for many young people today. Ac-cording to a 1????, more than half the teenage girls in the USA think 2????should be on a diet(节食), and almost one in five teenage boys are 3????about their bodies and their weight.
But what's the cause?In the study, many blame(责备)the media(媒体). Turn on the TV and you'll 4???? see beautiful models, handsome actors and fit sports stars. 5????a magazine or a newspaper, look through the Inter-net, and it's usually 6????.
Many young people feel pressure to 7????these“perfect”people. But for most, this is just not possible. In the USA, the average(平均的)woman is 163 cm tall and weighs 64 kilos, 8????the average model is 180 cm tall and weighs 53 kilos.
When people don't look the way many 9????people look, they may become less confident. Some stop eating ????10????in order to lose weight. Students can lose so much confidence that they start to 11????taking part in class-room activities at school.Body image problems don't 12????as we get older, either. In the UK, for example, women over 50 spend more money on cosmetics(化妆品)than any other 13????group. Older men spend a lot of money trying to 14????hair loss(损失).
Is there a solution to the problem?A 2016 study in the UK suggested that body image lessons should be provided in 15????. Others believe it's a problem that all of society needs to deal with. As Meaghan Ramsey says,“We need to judge(评判)people by what they do, not what they look like.”

My friends and I joined a two-day survival(生存)training course in the mountains. The first day was really 1????—there was so much to do! Arriving at the campsite, we were divided into groups and given a tent, some food, a 2???? and a compass(指南针). Standing next to a small river, Fanny 3???? camping in the grassy area nearby. However, our instructor, Mr. Lee, pointed out that it might flood(淹没)if it rained. In the end, we found a 4???? area. Putting up the tent was very hard. 5???? Mr. Lee helped us a lot.
By the time we had put up the tent, 6???? was really hungry. “We wouldn't have got this hungry if we had brought some snacks,”Peter said. We all told him to 7???? complaining(抱怨)and help us start a fire to cook our food 8????. Realizing we were having trouble making the fire, he finally 9????.
The next day started early. Woken by a strange noise, Peter went to see what was 10????. “Some cows have eaten our breakfast!”he shouted. “That's all because you didn't 11???? the food properly last night,” said Mr. Lee.
Worried that Mr. Lee was angry with us, we tried very hard on our next 12????—using the map and compass to find a secret location. We made it to the location 13???? the other groups did. We all felt very proud of 14????.
The survival training course was a great 15????. Now I feel I could survive anywhere!
