infectious(传染的) disease mainly affecting children. The children of Nome would be 37 if it struck the town.
Dr. Welch needed medicine as soon as possible to stop other kids from getting sick. 38 , the closest supply was
over 1,000 miles away, in Anchorage.
How could the medicine get to Nome? The town’s 39 was already full of ice, so it couldn’t come by ship.
Cars and horses couldn’t travel on the 40 roads. Jet airplanes and big trucks didn’t exist yet.

snow blocked his 50 . He had to leave the trail (雪橇痕迹)to get around them. Conditions were so bad that it
was impossible for him to 51 the trail again. The only hope was Balto, Kaasen’s lead dog. Balto put his nose
to the ground, 52 to find the smell of other dogs that had traveled on the trail. If Balto failed, it would mean
disaster for Nome. The minutes passed by. Suddenly, Balto began to 53 . He had found the trail.

the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 29 — ever. But that didn’t
stop her from trying.
Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award but was still there to
30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the
head coach 31 , “The highest honor goes to Cathy!” Looking around, he continued, “Cathy has inspired us

【2015年福建卷】One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 36
when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class
fault-finder, almost always 38 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 39 was
ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 40
person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 41 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car
crash. What made it almost 42 to deal with was that the day before the 43 , Kerry had visited her friend
and had spent the whole time criticizing her 44 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related toher mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 45 It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that
Kerry became 46 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47
everything so harshly (刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 48 as well.
Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme at fault-finding, 49 when we’re honest, we can be sharply 50 of
the world. I’m not suggesting you 51 problems, or that you pretend things are 52 than they are, but
simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are — 53 most of the time, and especially when it’s not a

【2014年北京卷】The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12.
The boys in my class often 36 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book,
pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan(孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family
in town who 37 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with
American kids. I looked down at this 3 8 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her 3 9 in with us? There had to be a 4 0 .
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 4 1 her geography book to a
picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 4 2 copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 43 show. So, I
took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had 44 . "why, it’swonderful," said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted 45 the talent show.
"I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough 4 6 . Could you help me, Suzy?"
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s 47 were everywhere — all over the hall and all over
the school, each one different.
"And finally," said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, "we have a(n) award.
I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters." Everyone nodded. "One of our own students 49
them."
I could hear everyone whispering. "Who in our school could draw 5 0 well?"
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, " 5 1 this student worked so hard on the posters,
she deserves a 5 2 , too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student — Suzy Khan!"
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. "
Thank you," she cried.
I 53 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never 54
anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to 5 5 their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was
