Ⅴ.完形填空 (共15分) There are many kinds of friends. Some are always 1 you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only 2 friends leave footprints. I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with the violin. She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend. It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves 3 on the cool 4 . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, listening to the sound of them. Autumn is a 5 season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me 6 . But one day, the sound of aviolin flowed into my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumpedto see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 7 in playing her violin. I had 8 seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music,I didn't know that I had been 9 there for so long but my existence did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still failing. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building 10 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longerlonely and life became interesting. 11 we didn't know each other, I thought we were alreadygood friends. I believe she also loved me. Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly stopped. To my astonishment, the girl came over to me. "You must like violin." she said. "Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?" I asked. Suddenly, a 12 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual. "I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was yourlistening every day that 13 me." she said. "In fact, it was your playing 14 gave me a meaningful autumn," I answered, "Let's be friends." The girl smiled, and so did I. I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure of the girl. She is likea 15 —so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes theautumn beautiful.

C D. H. Lawrence was born in a working class family in 1885 when England was at the full development of its industry. His father was a coal-miner, so they knew what it was like to be poor.But her mother struggled hard to help her children get better than their father. Lawrence became ateacher, and so escaped the mining world of his father. But he never forgot it. He wrote manystories about the miner's family, including his most famous novel Sons and Lovers, which is aportrait of Lawrence's own life. Many of his stories and novels are on men who work down themines. He once said of the men in the coal-mines, "Here in this terrible hell, the men are mosthappy." He meant the comradeship of the miners, the fact that they lived simply, without wishes forpower, without money, without wealth. 根据短文内容,选择正确的答案。

D A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the ear eating an apple. He asked his father, "Why does my apple turn brown?" His father answered, "When the skin is removed, air reachesthe flesh of the apple and causes oxidation (氧化)." This changes the apple's molecular (分子的) structure and results in a brownish color." The boy asked, "Daddy, what are you talking about?" I know how that boy feels. Sometimes I want answers to some of those confusing problems that we all run up against, such as how to get through difficult times or what to do in a tough situation, I just want to get it right. The problem is that I don't always have the answers I need. Nobody else seems to have them, either. So I blunder ahead and think that I'll never get it "right". Often I didn't know what to do. I often made poor choices, but I gradually improved. Then I realize that I don't have to always get it right. I don't have to always know what to do all the time.All I really need to do is try my best, learn from my mistakes and go on. Dr. Leo Buscaglia once said, "No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate and love is now. That would be pretty hard to do when you're waiting for allthe answers first." So you got it wrong. You made a mistake. What should you do next? Forgive yourself and try again. You may not get out of this world alive, but you can get plenty of life out of this world ifyou're not too worried about always getting it right. 根据短文内容,选择正确的答案。

3. The underlined part "So I blunder ahead" in Paragraph 3 shows that the author is ______ about his performance.
A.impatient
B.brave
C.excited
D.worried
A B C D
D
[解析] 根据前两段,当父亲解释了苹果变色的原因后儿子不懂,以及第三段中“The problem is that I don't alwavs have the answer I need. Nobody else seems to have them, either.”以及“I'll never get it 'right'.”并且根据选项impatient“不耐心的”,brave“勇敢的”,excited“令人兴奋的”,worried“担忧的”,我们可以比较出worried这个词比较贴切,我们可知作者对于很多难懂问题得不到答案会有所担忧。

Yours, Li Hua
[范文] Dear Editor, Recently many places in China were blanketed with thick fog. Everything around disappeared from our sight. Some highways were closed. More traffic jams and accidents happened. People had to wear masks. What's worse,many people found it difficult to breathe. The heavy hazy weather in China has been caused by many factors. First, the severely polluted environment contributed a lot to this nightmare. Second, the increase of cars in the city area plays an important role. The carssend off a lot of poisonous gases. In my opinion, we should call on people to use more public transport, thus reducingthe number of cars in the streets. Besides, some factories which cause pollution should be closed down. What's more,we have to do more to raise people's awareness of environmental protection. Only in this way can we expect to havemore sunny days. Best regards!
