(2023 上·天津·高三天津市咸水沽第一中学校考期末)For years, Arthur ran a car dealership (汽车经销
店) in a small town in Australia. Everybody in the town knew and     1     Arthur. He was upright, as they said, 
2     and thoughtful. He liked strolling along the streets of the town with his children. The     3     who met 
him by the roadside would never return empty-handed. They later even began to feel embarrassed to     4 
 
his handouts because they just received too many     5     from him. Under the influence of such a perfect boss, 
his employees     6     harmoniously. But there was one     7    — a mechanic, who broke rules every 
now and then and never     8     it. Arthur’s older son asked why his father kept the man. The answer the son 
got was, “Ah, he probably didn’t     9     to do that.” Arthur thought the mechanic must have been through 
something painful, which led to his       10       behavior. Arthur intended to help, but the mechanic seemed 
to be       11       to reveal his heart.
Something unexpected happened next. Arthur’s wife got a serious disease, which left her unable to function   
12      . To well care for his wife at home, Arthur       13       his dealership. The employees all found    
14       in other places, except the mechanic.       15      , Arthur kept paying him a salary until he got a 
job. But it didn’t       16       the mechanic enough; he never visited the couple once. That was OK with 
Arthur. He fairly had       17       on everybody around him       18       they didn’t show any 
gratitude.
We often reserve compassion for those who we believe       19       it. But real compassion is that we 
offer it without judgment, even to those around us who may not yet have the capacity to       20       the 
favor.

1.(2022 上·河南漯河·高三校考期末)Which ones are quick language learners, adults or young children? It 
is not hard to answer, because there is new evidence showing kids really can learn things much     61     than 
adults.
A study published in Current Biology     62     that children and adults have different concentrations (含
量) of a key brain messenger called GABA.This     63     makes newly-learned materials steadier. It also 
produces a calming effect and is thought to largely     64     nerve cell hyperactivity associated with     65  
, stress, and fear.
The team used neuro-imaging     66     to examine visual perceptive learning in elementary pupils and 
adults.     67     were shown multiple different images and were later asked questions about them following the 
test. The visual learning     68     an increase of GABA in children’s visual cortex (大脑皮层), the area of the 
brain that     69     visual information. GABA levels didn’t change at all when adults      70      the same 
visual tests. Children participants kept GABA      71      for hours after training ended, while the 
concentrations of GABA remained      72      in the adults studied.
“In continuous behavioral experiments, we found that children      73      steadied new learning much 
more rapidly than adults, which      74      the common belief that children are      75      to adults in 
their learning abilities,” study co-author Sebastian M. Frank said. “Our results proves GABA as a      76 
 
player in making learning efficient in children.”
These results, the authors argue, should      77      teachers and parents to keep giving children 
opportunities to learn anything from riding a bike to playing an instrument throughout their      78     .
In future studies, the team plans to      79      the differences in maturation rates between brain regions 
and functions and GABA responses in other      80      of learning, such as reading and writing.

2.(2023 上·河南郑州·高三郑州外国语学校校考期末)Space exploration has always been the province of  
51     : The human imagination readily soars where human ingenuity (创造力) struggles to follow. A Voyage to 
the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was 
dead and buried for a good three centuries      52     the first manned rockets started to fly.
In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decade’s end, 
those words, too, had a      53      quality. They resonated (共鸣) with optimism and      54      in much 
the same way as the most famous      55      speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. 
By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete results and      56      American society.      57 
, in many ways the two dreams ended up      58      each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is 
intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is 
figuratively and literally otherworldly in its      59     .
When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand      60      to the Apollo missions. 
The technologically compromised space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no      61     . The 
continuous argument is that      62      are tight, that we have more pressing problems here on Earth. Amid the 
current concerns about the federal deficit (赤字), reaching toward the stars seems an unnecessary luxury—    63  
saving one-thousandth of a single year’s budget would solve our problems.
But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the most value 
for the money spent. They will serve as modern Magellans,      64      out the solar system for whatever 
explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting a bottom-up 
assault on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could lie within      65 
 
of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could      66     .
The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us — not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, 
or because of the     67     they produce, but because the two types of dreams support each other. Both Martin 
Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans can      68      what were once considered 
great limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, health care. Tomorrow we will 
overcome these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot of the      69     . The more evidence we collect 
that our species is      70      greatness, the more we will actually achieve it.

(2023 上·辽宁葫芦岛·高三统考期末)Years ago, a neighbour kid kicked a football and broke a small    36 
of our house. We were a family living on a small    37    at the time, so I boarded it up, thinking I’d get to it 
someday. 
Over the years, I’d sometimes ask some advice from window companies. The plan was to upgrade to energy-
efficient windows for the whole house, an    38    process—$ 15, 000. It was simply out of    39    and I 
turned it down again. 
   40   , the thought of that window ate at me for years. Every time I went down there, it kept    41  
me. I knew I needed to deal with it, but I had built up the    42    so much in my mind that I put it off again and 
again. 
Then my wife had a job    43   , and we needed to move. A    44    buyer couldn’t get a loan on the 
house if there was a     45     window. So I pulled off the boards to face this thing. It had already been for at 
least 5 years. 
I used some rust (锈) remover, sprayed all around the rusted frame, and gave it a     46     pull. To my 
47    , it easily moved. I pulled the window out and took it downtown. It was a 12 fix. 
I could have fixed the problem for 12 the     48     day when it happened. But I let it worry me for years.  
49    , this isn’t just about my window. Many of us tend to live with broken windows of one type or another for 
years. We suffer more in     50     than in reality. Step forward, and you’ll find a solution.

(2023 下·河南开封·高三河南省杞县高中校联考期末)Driving herein the mountains can be a challenge in 
the summertime. The holes and stones in the road make it a     81    ride. The low hanging trees, full of green 
leaves,    82    your view. And you always have to be on the lookout for dogs, cats and deer     83    the 
road.
I saw an incredibly     84    sight here just the other day. As I was    85    along, I saw a baby deer 
lying dead along the side of the road. Its white spots were still on it. It was so heart-breaking to see it like that and I 
86    in ease more deer were coming down the mountains to drink from the    87    that ran alongside the 
highway. When I     88    another curve(拐弯处), felt a(n)    89    inside my heart and a voice inside my 
mind, saying “Slow down, more!”
I     90     my speed again.
Suddenly two adult deer leaped across the road. I      91     on the brakes until I came to a complete     92

94     that I hadn’t hit those baby deer. Then I     95     and thanked myself for having listened to that      96 
in my heart and mind.
So many times I have     97     a whispered urging in my heart to says something     98     or to help 
someone in need.
May you always listen to the     99     in your heart. They will turn you into a better     100     .They

【2021 年浙江卷1 月】 Last year I decided to do some volunteer work. I began to   16   on the Internet and 
discovered Volunteer USA.Three months later I   17   myself on a plane to Phoenix, Arizona. I was   18   
at the thought of living with loads of new people for three months. However, within fifteen minutes of   19   , 
my worries had gone. Everyone was so   20   and like-minded that it was very   21   to feel at home. 
I was sent to the Coronado National Forest for my first 8-day   22   . We had to   23   everything we 
needed and walk three miles to where we worked. It may not seem like a   24   way but in 35℃ heat and with a 
heavy pack, my legs were on fire. 
My job was to   25   a stairway out of rock. This   26   climbing up and down the side of a mountain 
inhabited (栖息) by mountain lions, although I should say they were only heard,never   27   . 
Three days later, a beautiful stairway came into being. The   28   of knowing that my   29   will be on 
that mountainside for years to come is massive. 
But on the last night we were   30   in a thunderstorm. I woke up at midnight to find a swimming pool in 
my tent. The temperature was close to   31   . I had to spend the rest of the night trembling in the only   32   
part of my tent.

【2020 年新课标Ⅰ】  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.

【2020 年新课标Ⅲ】 As s businesswoman, I care deeply about my customers. But like anyone for whom 
you feel affection,    41    can also drive you mad. They’ll come rushing in,    42   their handbag’s been 
stolen. They’ll    43    that they left it in the changing room, create havoe (混乱) and then    44    it had 
been in their car all the time. They’ll have out half the    45    in the shop, and want the only style you don’t 
have left in a    46    colour. I do know how upset the shop staff can get, but I try to persuade them to keep    
47   .
I remember the first really    48    customer we had at Covent Garden. She was    49    absolutely 
everything, nothing was right and I was rather    50    that she became a “regular”. After a while, she    51  
for the way she behaved at the beginning. She had split up with her husband the week before, was living in a flat   
52   , and since she’d found it too much to cope with (应对), she’d taken it out on    53    people.
That taught me a valuable    54    and I pass it on to the people who    55    in the market. Don’t take 
it    56   . If a customer is rude or difficult, just think “Maybe she’s had a row with her husband. Maybe her 
child’s not    57   .” Always water it down and don’t let your ego (自我) get    58   . If you do, you won’t be 
able to    59    it and the whole thing develops into an unpleasant scene and that    60    everyone’s day.
