“Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three. It was the first time that my __36__ took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training. As I grew older and was __37__ to more, my interests in the world of dance __38__ varied but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a __39__ in the company never left me. In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a __40__; I became a member of the company __41__ back to 1925.
As I look back on that day now, it surely __42__ any sense of reality. I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief __43__ I was halfway through rehearsals (排练) on my first day. I never actually __44__ to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely __45__. I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the chance, it did not come without its fair share of __46__. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to __47__ up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme __48__ to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us __49__. To then follow those high-energy rehearsals __50__ a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new __51__ of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical __52__ were pushed much further than I thought __53__. I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great __54__ of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a __55__ that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.

解析
小题1:根据文章结构应为：我的_____有了一种生动的形式，也就是说“我的______初步成型”所以答案是C 梦想。同时在文章后面也有对应。整片文章都在讲主人公想当舞蹈家的梦想。
小题2:“随着我长大，随着我接触到了更多的东西，我的兴趣……”答案是C。而A“连接”C“扩张”D“扩展”都不对。比较容易误选C和D。但是注意，这里考察的是“我被______”我被扩张，我被扩展都是不合适的说法。
小题3:“随着我长大，经历了更多的事情，虽然我的兴趣确实发生了一些改变，但是我的梦想从来没有改变”，certainly的语气并没有那么重。此题考察副词，难度较大。副词和动词的关系紧密，空格之后的动词varied是vary这个单词的过去式，意味“变化”，作者想说的是“我的兴趣在______地变化”。A“很少次”B“必然地”C“很有可能地”D“一贯地、连续地”。AC两个选项都表示兴趣不怎么变化，BD两个选项都表示兴趣一定在变化。再看到句子的后面“but a little girls dream……”讲到了小女孩的梦想，她的梦想就是当舞蹈家，一直都没变，所以but之前应该表示的是兴趣有所变化，所以排除AC。D选项容易误选， consistently这个词一般用在数学上，表示线性变化地，有规律可循地，一个人的兴趣呈线性变化是很诡异的一种说法，所以答案是B 必然地。
小题4:女孩的梦想是成为舞蹈家，所以答案是D。
小题5:考察形名词，与之相关的动作是make the dream a ______，意为“让我的梦想成为______”，答案显而易见，梦想变成现实，答案是D。reality，原型是real。
小题6:这家公司从1925年开始的，所以选择一个和“开始”相关的词。A bouncing back容易误选，要注意bounce本身表示“弹”，公司是不会弹回来的。所以排除A。B date back的含义是“追溯到”，公司可以追溯到1925完全合适。C turn back表示回头 转身，显然不对。D track back表示追回。Track这个词本身表示追踪，沿着轨迹寻找的意思，一个公司是无法发出“追踪”这个动作的，所以答案是B。
小题7:从文章后面的内容可以得知，作者根本就没有想到自己会被录取，在公司的第一天就像做梦一样，注意，像做梦一样言下之意就是“不现实”，所以答案是A lack 表示缺少。作者想说虽然美梦成真，但是现在回想起来，第一天上班的那一天对于我来说，就像是做梦一样，没觉得是现实。
小题8:此题考察连词，空格之前意为“我认为我处在一种愉悦的不相信的状态中”空格后的句意为“我第一天的排练已经过去了一半。”作者不敢相信这是真的，所以她disbelief的应该是自己的梦想成真，而梦想成真这件事儿又是pleasant的，所以pleasant disbelief应该指的是作者很开心，不相信这是真的。所以答案是C until。
小题9:与之相关的名词是I the job，所以这里的结构应为“I never ______to get the job.”答案是B expected。
小题10:我得到了梦寐以求的工作，非常D astonished 惊喜。这个词等同于surprised。
小题11:it did come with its fair share of______ 其中it指代这份工作，与这份工作伴随而来的是A 挑战 最合适。B和C都是好东西，和下文说的艰辛困苦不符。D adventure表示“冒险”，下文中没有说跳舞要冒什么样的风险，所以也不对。答案是A。
小题12:空格之前的动作是I found it vital 我发现______是很重要的。空格后面，动作的承受者是material 材料。所以这里的结构应为：“我发现______材料是很重要的。”这里的材料指的应该是跳舞的动作和舞步，所以答案ABC都不合理，正确选项是D。pick up可以表示“学习，掌握”这层含义。作者想说，我发现迅速掌握舞蹈动作是很重要的。要注意从这一段开始，作者就应经在开始讲述作为一个舞蹈家，需要付出的艰辛和困苦了。
小题13:空格之后的名词是detail，细节，并且空格之前有形容词extreme，表示强烈的，所以“对于细节的强烈______”答案显然只有A 注意。B “连接”C“吸引”D “适应”。
小题14:set apart表示分开；set aside表示放一边；set off表示出发；set back表示阻止。这句话中，“对细节的强烈注意和对耐心的考验set us ______”可以排除B和C。有些人有耐心注意细节，所以就跳的好，有些人没耐心不注意细节，就跳的不好。并不是指人和人的隔阂，而是指跳舞水平的层次。所以答案A更合适。
小题15:空格之前高强度的排练，空格后面高密度的时间表，两个东西肯定是一块儿的，来说明舞蹈演员的艰辛，所以答案是C，with表示伴随。
小题16:"我发现了"hard work"的新_____"很显然应该填"含义"，答案是B。
小题17:与之相关的形容词是physical“身体上的”，注意后面的动词were pushed much further，所以这里的结构应为"我身体上的______被推到了更远的地方"首先排除B 问题，D 努力，这两个名词是不能“被推”的。剩下A 界限 C 障碍。C带有明显的负面态度，身体障碍也没法推。所以答案是A 界限。意思是我突破了身体上的极限，就是我的极限又往前走了一步。
小题18:此题考察句子的省略结构，my physical boundary were pushed much further than I thought，各位可以在than这个单词前面画一道线，线之前的意思是把我的身体极限往前推，因为further是比较级，这个身体极限肯定要和某个东西做比较，所以看than后面说I thought，可见是比我想象中的要远一些。再看四个选项A 必要的 B 完美的 C 合适的 D 可能的。答案D 最合适，我把我身体的极限推得更远，比我想象中可能程度还要远一些。
小题19:空格后面的 of being a part of，意思是作为公司的一员，所以我心理感觉到的一定是honor，荣耀。比较容易误选的是D 责任。要明白一个舞蹈家需要对舞蹈负责，对自己负责，不需要因为成为了公司的一员才需要负责。
小题20:“不仅仅鼓励了一代又一代的跳舞的女孩儿们，也促进了这个辉煌的公司不停地向前发展”，所以这样一个东西应该是C传统，而非A胜利B趋势。

Peanuts to This
Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice：flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

For the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill, and soon she knew that she was dying. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She held our hands and said, “Victor and Elizabeth, my children, I’m very happy because you love each other, and because one day you’ll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”
My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her dearly. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother’s death. The time came for me to go to university. I didn’t want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.
On my first day at university I met my teacher, Professor Waldman, who was one of the greatest scientists in the world. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can. This is why God made you intelligent—to help other people.”
After the professor’s talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things.
I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.
The professor helped me very much, and other important scientists who were his friends helped me, too. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day’s holiday during the next two years, I did not go home, and my letters to my family were very short.
After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.
I built a tall mast about 150 meters high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.
Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．Elizabeth married shortly after Victor’s mother died. |
| B．Elizabeth was a brave girl who loved Victor and gave him much help. |
| C．Victor’s mother was very angry when she knew he loved Elizabeth. |
| D．Victor did not want to leave his family because his mother died not long before. |
| A．he discovered many things and built a scientific machine |
| B．he learnt much about death both in the hospitals and in the university |
| C．he worked hard and took only one day’s holiday during the next two years |
| D．he built a tall mast to catch lightning and send the electricity down to the lab |
| A．give life to things that were dead |
| B．use electricity to help others |
| C．build the best machine to learn about death |
| D．become the greatest scientist of tomorrow |

Talk about happiness
We should not hesitate too much during the first half of our lives, while we should not regret at what we’ve done during the other half. We should seize every opportunity to find a way out in our lives, for it goes off swiftly. We should say something urgent slowly, something serious clearly, something small humorously and something unsure cautiously. We should never say something that did not happen, something that you cannot do, something that does harm to others, and something that is disgusting. We should tell others our happiness on specific occasions and should not tell anyone our unhappiness. Do not easily say something about others. We should follow our own heart and interest, and fulfill what we should do instead of merely paying lip service and looking forward to the future.
Everyone is longing for a happy life, but owning wealth does not necessarily mean owning happiness. To truly reach happiness, we need to know how to get on with others. So we need to understand what happiness is really about and achieve what we desire.
We need to know and understand happiness before we finally get it. A smart man must know to do something good even though it may be small, and not to do something evil even though it may be tiny in the course of socializing. As long as we keep a kind heart and do everything morally and legally, we can live a peaceful life. But if we keep an evil heart and do whatever we want, we are indeed digging a tomb for ourselves. A smart man knows to learn a lesson from his falls, for he knows that every setback is a precious experience leading to happiness in the future. He will not waste his time in criticizing others. Instead, he tends to spend more time seeking his own happiness. He knows to keep a heart of conscience and not to spread others’ mistakes. He also knows to think before he leaps so that he will not feel regretful afterwards. Moreover, he knows to tolerate others, so he can naturally lead a happy life.
Without happiness, one will feel terribly miserable, for he always insists that he has done the right thing all the time and that others often do wrong to him. He blames every mistake on others or the environment instead of reflecting on himself, which keeps him farther and farther away from happiness. A celebrity once said, “Nobody intends to make mistakes. One makes mistakes because of his ignorance.” Therefore, if someone makes mistakes, we need to care about him, forgive him and enlighten him by setting a good example to him instead of losing temper and hating him. Otherwise, we are also ignorant like him, for we also make a stupid mistake that leads us farther from happiness.
In order to possess a happy life, we need to know more about others, about the society, about our culture and history. We should be patriotic(爱国的), obey the law and realize our own responsibility, and then we will definitely have a happy life.

I 21 to spend this valuable time working with mentally disabled children at Bradley Children’s Hospital. I work 22 a teacher in the outpatient/pre-school section, in a classroom with two children— a classroom very different from 23 I have ever known. The difference of this classroom is 24 the children have been diagnosed with a mental disease. One child is autistic and non-verbal（自闭和不说话的）, using supportive 25 . The other has a condition called PDD (one step above autism), and is 26 non-verbal. Both children require strong 27 and a lot of attention. This combination creates an atmosphere which is both demanding and sympathetic.
My 28 in the classroom is not only to help the teacher, but to become part of the children’s 29 experience. I work one-on-one completing academics with a student. 30 , we work as a group on such activities as cooking, artwork, abstract reasoning. Everyday activities, which may be taken for granted by others, 31 a lot of strength from the children. This has opened my eyes vastly.
One of the 32 reasons why I volunteer to take the work is that I desire to help those who are less 33 . However, it has also helped me to realize my competence. I now know that I have the 34 to work with the disabled. I have lost my fear, and I 35 myself a lot more.
It is true that my work is very 36 ; there are many days that I 37 Bradley exhausted emotionally and physically. There have been times when I have left on the edge of tears 38 . But pity doesn’t heal, love does. And I have grown to love these children in my own way, 39 I see them only once a week. This experience has been both rewarding and satisfying. I’ve learned also that I do have the ability to make a difference in their lives, no matter how small it may be. One smile makes it all 40 .

It was a Thursday, and I was getting ready for the wrestling tournament the following day. I was so excited; it was going to be my first tournament as a cheerleader. I walked past the mirror and stopped to check my appearance. I noticed my eyebrows were a little bushy, and that’s when my vanity kicked in. The brows could be easily fixed with the waxing kit I had purchased. I put the jar of wax in the microwave. But instead of heating the wax for 30 seconds, I pressed too many zeros and heated it for three minutes. As I reached for the jar, I dropped it, spilling it all over myself.
My mother came running when she heard my screams. The hot wax was rolling down my face and arm. My mom took a wet washcloth and tried to wash the wax off my face. This proved to be a bad idea, because the wax was honey based, and it pulled my skin off with the wax.
The 15-mile drive to the emergency room seemed to take hours. When we finally arrived, the nurse didn’t waste any time. They took me straight to a doctor and gave me extra-strength painkillers, so my mind was in confusion. The doctor explained how severe my burns really were: my arm was a combination of first-, second- and third-degree burns, and needed to stay bandaged. My face was first- and second-degree burns. If the wax had gotten any closer to my right eye, I would have lost my sight. I was covered in multi-colored “goop(药膏)”, wrapped, and sent home to recover.
I got up the next morning and the first thing I wanted to do was wash off the remaining wax. I unwrapped the bandages and “degooped”, letting warm water gently remove the rest of the wax. The next step was to do a self-evaluation of the damage. I couldn’t believe how horrible I looked. A horror-movie monster stared back at me from the mirror. All I could think was, my life is over. For someone as vain as me, this was very true. I thought I was going to be horribly disfigured(毁容的)for the rest of my life! All I could do was cry.
My mom made it worse by forcing me to go out in public. She dragged me to the grocery store and wherever else she felt like taking me. Everywhere we went, people had a million questions, none of which I wanted to answer. Then my mom declared she was going to put me through even more torture—I had to go to school on Monday. School only led to more questions from more people.
Now, two years later, my wounds have healed, leaving a few scars. I still feel self-conscious if I don’t wear make-up, and I’ve discovered that three-quarter length sleeves are wonderful for covering the scars on my arm.
After spending several months adjusting to this injury, I realized how vain I was. I had made beauty important, but it never was or will ever be that important. It took this event to teach me that no matter how much you change on the outside, you’re still the same person on the inside.
