own thoughts that she was not aware they were going on a different route.
Suddenly, a man went inside the cab and took her handbag_____ she placed her visa, passport,
and all her money for the trip. She kept on thinking how unlucky she was to be
in that situation. That very same night, she heard a piece of __(shock)
news. Flight 230 crashed! It was the plane that she was supposed to board into.
she
had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far ___ important — her life! Sometimes bad things really happen. We fail in
our exams, or get rejected by others. There are times when nothing seems to go
our way. So what do we do about it? We must take all these (frustrate)
out of our chest and start all over again with the consistent faith that we (get)
what are deserved(应得的). If you failed in
the exams, maybe you’d be more successful and much happier in __ field. If you were rejected by your friend,
there are plenty of others out there who are much more deserving of (值得的)your love and affection. Don’t waste your time
and energy _____ things
that can’t be changed.
(二) Stephen Hawking, who is
the most famous physicist, was born in
(三) Watching online
open classes About 700 sina
micro bloggers (post) different links to the
videos. 163. Com has launched a special channel for open programs, __(provide)
more than 1,200 class hours of free videos. Many Chinese have adjusted __ daily
timetable and some office workers have quit taking naps they can watch videos

good example of how to change and improve our teaching methods." said
Wang, a professor of
(四) Alfred Nobel became a
millionaire and changed the ways of mining,construction,and warfare as
the inventor of dynamite(炸药). On April 12,1888,Alfred's
brother Ludwig died of heart attack. A major French newspaper mistook his
brother _____him and carried an article_______(announce) the death of Alfred Nobel. “_____ merchant of death is dead.” The article
read. “Dr. Alfred Nobel, ______ became rich
by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before,died
yesterday. ” Alfred put down the
newspaper sadly. It was his brother rather than _____
who had died and the French newspaper had made a mistake. All the same,
Alfred felt uncomfortable. Was this the way the world was going to remember
him? He did not like that idea at all. He wanted people to remember him as a
man of peace. He invented his dynamite
at a perfect moment in time. Many countries were beginning to build roads
through mountains and needed a safe, strong dynamite. His dynamite was
developed __
_ such peaceful uses. He also
thought that ________ all countries had the
same great weapons, they would see how impossible war was and that any country
fighting a war ______(destroy). Therefore,

remembered with love and respect. Nobel arranged in a will to give the _______(large) part of his money to establish
the Nobel prizes,which would be awarded to people who made great _______ (contribute) to the causes of peace,literature,and the
sciences.
(五) I believe being honest is one of the greatest
gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names, upright and straightforward. And it’s
still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by. I’ve been in the
taxi business for thirty-five years, _ (know)there
is a lot about it that is not so good. Because taxi drivers are tough, people
get the wrong impression ____they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like people.
Most of them will act as rude fellows. But almost every week you read in the
papers that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels or like that people leave in
their cars. Once, I found an
emerald ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady __ a lot of suitcases
that day, so I went back to I had dropped her off. It took me almost two
days to wait for her in order to return her ring to her. I didn’t get as much
as “thank you”. However, I (feel) good because I had done what
was right. As far as I know, (practice) everyone will give you
something, because most Americans are fairly generous. I believe in God and try
to be
good member of my parish(教区). I try to act toward others like I think God wants me to act. I
have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try, the (easy) it gets. (六) Perhaps I am Courageous,
but that's because I've had some inspiring teachers. I'll tell you about one of
them. Many years ago, when I worked _ a
volunteer at Stanford Hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liza __ was
suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of (recover)
appeared to be a blood transfusion (输血) from five-year-old
brother, who _(survive) the same disease and developed the
antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to
her little brother, and asked the boy _ he
would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for a moment taking
a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save Liza." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in a bed
next to his sister, (smile). But then his face grew pale
and his smile faded. He looked at the doctor and asked with trembling voice, "Will I start to die
right away?" Being young, the boy (understand) the
doctor. He thought he was going to have to give all his blood.
(七) Time is very important in our
lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time never had any
importance in my life I received a watch from myfather
that organized my life and made me
more _(responsibility). I received this gift on a
gray-sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 AM to pick up my Uncle Ali and
take him to my father's house. However, I was late because I (hang)
out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 AM, I remembered my uncle,
but I was very late him. He had left the airport and
taken a taxi to my father's house. I got to my father’s house at 2:00 P.M. on the same day and l felt
ashamed of ____at that moment.
After I said hi to my angry father and (tire) uncle, my father asked me to
sit next to him and handed me this watch, gift from him. Then he said,
"Essa, did you have fun with your friends today?" I answered,
"Yes father, and I’m sorry for…" He interrupted, " you
did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions." He added,
"I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a
reminder for you." I learned a very important
lesson from my father: (respect ) time and never be late to
get someone. This watch is important to me, not because of its price, but
because of the lesson I learned from it.
(八) When times become
difficult, remember a moment in your life that was filled with joy and
happiness. Remember it made you feel, and you will have
the strength you need to get through any trial. When life throws you one more obstacle you
think you can handle, remember something you achieved through _(persevere) and by struggling to the end. In
doing so, you will find you have the ability __ _(overcome) each obstacle in our path. When you find yourself _ (exhaust),
remember to find a place to rest. Take necessary time in your own life to
dream your dreams and renew your energy, you will be ready to face each new day. When you feel tension _ (build),
find something fun to do. You’ll find that the stress you feel will fade away
and your thoughts will become clearer. When you __ (face) with so many negative and draining
situations, and you view your life _ a
whole and remember the positive things, you will realize how small problems may
seem.
(九) In every school a
“top” crowd sets the pace,while the others
follow their lead. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear
bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing _____
bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, the fact that on some
people a bright red sweater is _(extreme)
unbecoming(不得体的). The situation
can even become dangerous,if the top crowd
decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour.
Then the people (follow) the lead are endangering
their lives. They are like the sheep’s (lead) to the butcher. Now, chances
are you have come across situations like
these more than once in life; your chances are that one time or you
probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by
saying, “Gee,the crowd does it.”Well,let the crowd do it,but don’t do it
yourself. Learn to say,“No.” Develop your own standards and your own
judgment.
you know the crowd is planning something you (agree) with,have the courage to bow out(辞职) politely. You’ll have the _ (satisfy) of
standing on your own two feet.
(十) Each of us fails from time to time. If we are
wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. all
too often as parents and teachers we do not allow our children to have the same
right. We convey either by words or by actions that failure is something to be
ashamed , and that nothing but top performance
lives up to our (expect). When I see a child subject to this kind of
pressure, I think of Donnie. He was ___shy and nervous
perfectionist. His fear of failure __(keep) him from
classroom games that other children played with joyous abandon. He seldom
answered questions for fear he might be wrong. He seldom finished
his work because he _ (repeat) checked
with me to be sure he hadn’t made a mistake. I tried my best to build up _ self-confidence.
And I frequently asked God for direction. But nothing changed until midterm, Mary
Anne, a student teacher, was appointed to our classroom. She was young and
pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie (include), adored her. With her
frequent encouragement, Donnie became confident.
(十一) Christmas Eve means
a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a
celebration at a pub for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, _unusual night has a
different meaning: helping beggars and the homeless. Cai, is
a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Cai said, “A
beggar’s life is even (hard) today. That’s why I want to
help them.” They brought bread
and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted
them a look of surprise. “I know the (active)
can’t help much, but it is meant (show) our respect and care for
beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head
of the group. (十二) With the reform of
Chinese higher education, more and more colleges and universities put emphasis
on nurturing students' abilities. a consequence, elective courses are
available not only for excellent academic performers but also for students of
the average level. (certain), students have different
reasons _ (choose) their own electives. For some,
practical skills are the essence (本质) of college education, and therefore, courses on computer
science, marketing, and finance (prefer). On the other hand, may
hold the idea of liberal education and electives concerning literature,
history, and philosophy are the most welcome. Take myself as example:
being a disciple of free education, I stand for the idea university is not a place for survival skills, a
palace of knowledge and critical reasoning. my major is chemistry, the
electives I attend most frequently are English literature, an Introduction to
Classic Music, and Different Schools of Western Painting. really widen my horizon. 参 考 答 案 (一)16. hurriedly 17. in 18. where 19. shocking 20. If 21. more 22. frustrations 23. will get 24.
