1. 【2020·全国卷I】
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Since our twins began learning to walk, my wife and I have kept telling them that our sliding glass door is just
a window. The 41 is obvious. If we 42 it is a door, they’ll want to go outside 43 . It will drive us crazy.
The kids apparently know the 44 . But our insisting it’s 45 a window has kept them from 46 millions of
requests to open the door.
I hate lying to the kids. One day they’ll 47 and discover that everything they’ve always known about
windows is a 48 .
I wonder if 49 should always tell the truth no matter the 50 . I have a very strong 51 that the lie
we’re telling is doing 52 damage to our children. Windows and doors have 53 metaphorical(比喻)
meanings. I’m telling them they can’t open what they absolutely know is a door. What if later in 54 they come
to a metaphorical door, like an opportunity(机会) of some sort, and 55 opening the door and taking the
opportunity, they just 56 it and wonder, ＂What if it isn’t a door?＂ That is, ＂What if it isn’t a 57
opportunity?＂
Maybe it’s an unreasonable fear. But the 58 is that I shouldn’t lie to my kids. I should just 59
repeatedly having to say, ＂No. We can’t go outside now.＂ Then when they come to other doors in life, be they
real or metaphorical, they won’t 60 to open them and walk through.

As s businesswoman, I care deeply about my customers. But like anyone for whom you feel affection, 41

Very few of us become fluent in another language by learning it in high school.
I went to university and then moved across the country to seek a 21 job, married and raised children. I
made an effort to 22 the little bit of French I learned in school, but eventually I realized that this was really 23
. I was quite aware that new languages are best learned when young, and that our abilities in that regard decline
with 24 .
However, just before my 50th birthday, I 25 French classes. After I was tested to see which group I
belonged to, I was placed at almost the introductory 26 . When I looked around at my first class, I was 27
that many of the students were learning French as a third, fourth or even fifth language.
Contrary to my 28 that learning a new language was impossibly difficult, there were people who learnednew languages as a matter of course. While I had always thought of myself as a 29 learner, that was no longer
the case. I 30 new vocabulary rather slowly. What I learned one week seemed to 31 as soon as I learned the
next skill. I had to look up the 32 words and language structures over and over. Now, after several years of
learning, I can listen to the news in French and 33 90% of it on the first try, read a novel if the language isn't
too 34 and hold up my end of a conversation if it doesn't go too fast. I've learned so much beyond grammar
and vocabulary. I've met people from around the world and all walks of life who have the 35 to make fools of
themselves in order to learn something new. I've been taught by 36 and inspirational teachers from many
comers of the worlD. Listening to the news as it is 37 to the people of France, I have a renewed understanding
of how something can look 38 different from another viewpoint. I've learned that a language is not just a set of
words, but a way of 39 . But most of all, I've learned that it is never too 40 to learn something new.

A parent’s hopes for 2030
When 2010 arrived, my son was only a year old—tiny. 21 ，the master of a few basic words, but still
mostly the baby we'd 22 into the world.
Now my baby has grown into an 23 —tall, strong,stout, and smart, a(n) 24 of Akira Kurosawa samurai

where nations and groups 35 limited resources like clean water and food, which means that the danger of
climate change won't come just from rising oceans, but from other humans competing for control over what’s 36
The world is always going to be full of 37 about how to solve the challenges we face. I hope，too，that
my son’s generation learns to 38 justice—but to do so with big heart and humility，recognizing our common
humanity(人性)even with people who 39 us.
The world of 2030 won’t 40 itself. We are creating it now, so my final wish is that we build the kind of
world we actually want our children to live in.

Last week, my grandfather was explaining his favorite words, “Nothing is ever easy. ” Yesterday, I
happened to 21 a bee in the living room. I thought 22 the bee would take no more than five minutes. But an
hour 23 , the bee remained there. All that had 24 was that the living room was in a mess and that I felt 25
and had to lie on the sofa to take a breath. I did not expect to 26 an hour on such a tiny 27 , but suddenly I
understood what my grandfather meant.
It is not only 28 t hat we tend to underestimate (低估) — we have to bear other unexpected 29 . We often
imagine everything can work in our 30 , but we seldom think of all the 31 things that could affect us.
However, it is important to remember that your day or week or year might not 32 as planned, and that is
completely 33 . It is absolutely acceptable to feel challenged — 34 at a task you thought was 35 —
because that is part of life.
If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more 36 . In middle school,
I thought high school might be easier since I could choose the 37 I wanted to take. In high school, I thought
college might be easier because I could have a schedule best suited for myself. 38 each time, I was both wrong
and 39 . After accepting that school wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be easy, I found myself with a more positive
attitude and improved my 40 .

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
When I was a kid, my parents sent me to a summer camp in New Hampshire. At the camp we did tons of great
things like swimming, sports and archery (射箭), but for me, the most memorable 21 was an overnight trip of
mountain climbing. If you’ve ever 22 a mountain, you know it’s a physical challenge, 23 when you’re
carrying your food and shelter on your back. When campers got 24 , they certainly started complaining.
“How much farther is it?”
“I can’t go any further.”
“My 25 is too heavy. Can you carry it for me?”
The reply of the 26 was, “Suck it up (不要再抱怨了).” The truth is that the complaining campers were 27
near the point of 28 . If they had been, the teachers would have noticed the 29 and given them care. The kids
simply weren’t used to the physical challenge. Once they realized they weren’t getting any sympathy they 30
the discomfort, and in most cases 31 having a great time. In my camp days, I don’t 32 a single camper
complaining at the 33 of the mountain.
There are two ways to deal with an 34 situation. You can complain, or you can make the best of it. If you
complain, you might feel like you’re getting that 35 energy out, but you are probably not going to cause a
positive change. It’s much more likely that your complaining will cause the 36 of those around you. No onelikes a complainer. They’re 37 and they hurt the group. Complaining makes life 38 for everyone. Instead, if
you determine to master your own 39 , to move past it and focus on a 40 , it’s my experience that you’ll
realize it wasn’t bad in the first place.

More than anything else in the world, Jayden Hairston wanted to learn how to sing. 21 , his elementary
school in Yonkers didn't 22 the music instruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him up for after-
school lessons.
His mother said, ''Ever since I could 23 , he has been singing and dancing for the family. '' She wanted to
help her son to do whatever he loved, but private lessons were too 24 for the family where there was only one
breadwinner.
Then Jayden began researching after-school arts 25 on the Internet. Luckily, he soon 26 the website of
Harlem School of the Arts (HSA) in New York City. There, he could 27 singing and dancing lessons. It was abit far from Yonkers. But he 28 his parents to take him for a visit.
That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA’s most 29 students. He takes singing, dancing, or
theater lessons almost every day after school. Last year, he performed in seven productions. ''When I'm at HSA, I
don't want to leave, '' he says. ''It's made me more 30 . I feel better about myself, '' Jayden says.

HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that 32 this gap (缺口) by offering cheaper online arts classes which most
families can 33 . These groups are usually funded by donations.
A Harvard University study found that arts instruction does not straightly raise students' 34 in math and
English. However, that doesn’t mean arts education isn’t 35 . Arts train a set of thinking skills 36 those
measured by test scores. It can also offer another 37 for children who may not 38 good scores in such
exams. Without it, students might never 39 their strengths and possibly their future occupations.
Jayden Hairston knows this firsthand. He says Harlem School of the Arts has 40 him to go after his
professional goals.
