【2017 年北京卷】Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada. One day, when she was
five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man
36
out
of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he did that and her mother said that the man was homeless
and hungry. Hannah was very
37
. She couldn’t understand why some people had to live their lives
without shelter or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could
38
, but, of course,
there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve(解决) the problem of homelessness.
Later, when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman,
39
an old shopping trolley（购物车）which was piled with
40
. It seemed that everything the woman
owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more
41
to do something. She had
been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people
42
they first saw the homeless man.
Her mother told her that if she did something to change the problem that made her sad, she wouldn’t
43
as bad.
Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces.
She hoped to
44
her message of hope and awareness. She started the Ladybug Foudation, an
organization aiming at getting rid of homelessness. She began to
45
＂Big Bosses＂ lunches, where
she would try to persuade local business leaders to
46
to the cause. She also organized a
fundraising(募捐) drive in
＂Ladybug Jars＂ to collect everyone’s spare change during ＂Make Change＂ month. More recently, the
foundation began another
47
called National Red Scarf Day — a day when people donate $20 and
wear red scarves in support of Canada’s
48
and homeless.
There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called ＂Hannah’s Place＂, something that Hannah is very
49
of. Hannah’s Place is divided into several areas, providing shelter for people when it is so cold that
50
outdoors can mean death. In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities, she has
received a lot of
51
. For example, she received the 2007 BRICK Award recognizing the

of young people to change the world. But

【2017 年天津卷】At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds. I had a very poor relationship with food: I used it

leader shared her 22 story — she had not only lost 125 pounds, but also raised $25,000 for homeless
children.

pounds in one year and raise $50,000

difficulties that beat me before. While the 29 hung over my head, there were also signs that I was headed
down the right 30 . I sent letters to everyone I knew, telling them about my project. It worked perfectly.
Donations began 31 in from hundreds of people.
Of course, I also took some practical steps to lose weight. I consulted with a physician（内科医生）, I hired a
fitness coach, and I began to eat small and 32 meals. My fund-raising focus also gave me new motivation to
exercise 33 .

His words freed me from my bad

Two men looked out from prison bars,
One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.

Cathy suffered some terrible
1 6

Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22

she refused to 24
and insisted she go.
From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t 25

intention within
herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this

of course: often she would be
the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 29

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

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
with her 32
and enthusiasm. 33
skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富) one

played against teams 47 trained. Through the first two games, her 48 did not get one serious shot on
goal. As a parent, I 49 seeing my daughter playing her best, 50 still defeated.
It seemed that something clicked with the 51 between Saturday and Sunday. When they 52 for
their Sunday game, they were 53 different. They had begun to integrate (融合) the kinds of play and
teamwork they had 54 the day before into their 55 . They played aggressively and 56 scored a
goal.
It 57 me that playing against the other team was a great 58 moment for all the girls on the team. I
think it is a general principle. 59 is the best teacher. The lessons they learned may not be 60 what they
would have gotten in school, but are certainly more personal and meaningful, because they had to work them out on
their own.

In the following days, the owner still couldn’t be 21. Alice paid the vet to continue treatment. I grew 22:
What if the family had simply left the cat behind?

【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 to
her 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
really big 54 .
Train yourself to "bite your tongue", and with a little 55 , you’ll get really good at letting things go. And
when you do, you’ll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.

【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
38
girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her
39
in with us? There had to be a
40
.
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had
41
her geography book to a
picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)
42
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’s
wonderful,＂ 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
46
. 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
50
well?＂
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, ＂
51
this student worked so hard on the posters,
she deserves a
52
, 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
55
their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was
deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.

【2014 年湖北卷】When our restaurant business failed, we headed north in a camping truck to Texas,
hoping to have a “fresh start”.
At the

The position offered a

【2014 年湖南卷】The summer before I went off to college, Mom stood me in her usual spot behind the

But ironing shirts was not

wanted to do—and so could others.

＂No, they wouldn’t, Mum,＂ James protested. ＂We’re not
41
at all. We’re just ordinary people.＂
Mum sighed heavily. ＂ To tell you the truth, James, my neck has been so painful that it’s given me a heavy

＂I can help, Mum!＂ James said. ＂ 44
I can make you and Dad feel better, can Brett come over?
Please?＂
＂Well…＂Mum began.
＂Great! Thanks, Mum!＂ James almost shouted. ＂Just sit there, don’t move.＂ He rushed over to the
kitchen drawer and 45
what he needed — two spanners（扳手）. ＂ Hang on, Mum,＂ he said. ＂
This won’t take a second.＂ After some 46
, James was finished. With a smile of 47
on his face he
said, ＂There! How does that feel?＂ ＂Oh, James,＂ Mum said. ＂ That’s much better! How did you do it?
＂
＂Easy,＂ James said

.＂ Dad had tightened your neck bolts(螺栓) too much! I just 49
them slightly!
I learned that in robotic science at school.＂
＂What about your father? Can you
50
him?＂ asked Mum.
＂I’ll try,＂ James replied. He
51
up Dad’s hair at the back of his neck. and plugged the electric wire
into Dad’s head. Then he turned the
52
on. Dad opened his eyes and
53
immediately. ＂He just let his

run too low, that’s all,＂ James said. ＂Shall I tell Brett to come over straight after school tomorrow?＂
＂I guess so,＂ replied Mum. ＂Your friends will just have to
55

Thanks, son!＂

【2014 年四川卷】My husband, Tom, has always been good with animals, but I was still amazed
when he befriended a female grouse(松鸡). It’s
11
for a grouse to have any contact(接触) with
people. In fact, they’re hard to spot,
12
they usually fly off when they hear humans approaching.
This grouse came into our lives in
13
. Tom was working out in the field when he
14
her walking around at the edge of the field. She was
15
unafraid and seemed to be
16
about what he was doing.
Tom saw the
17
bird several times, and she got more comfortable around him.We quickly grew
18
of the bird and decided to call her Mildred.
One day, as Tom was working, Mildred came within a few feet of him to watch. Tom
19
he
didn’t see her and kept working to see what she would do next.
Apparently, she didn’t like to be
20
. She’d run up and peck(啄) at Tom’s hands, then
21
off to see what he would do. This went on for about 20 minutes, until Mildred became tired of the 22
and left.
As spring went and summer came, Mildred started to
23
more and more often.
24
Mildred
felt comfortable enough to jump up on Tom’s leg and stay long enough for me to get a
25
of the
two of them together. This friendly grouse soon felt
26
not just with our family, but with anybody
who walked or drove by.
When hunting season opened, we put a

at the end of our driveway asking
28
not to
shoot our pet grouse. My father, who lived down the road,

warned people not to
shoot her.

【2014 年浙江卷】I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me. I was a new

【2014 年重庆卷】Five months after my husband Steve died. I woke up one morning to the maddening sound
of a leaking faucet ( 水龙头 ). I knew it needed repairs badly, but it
16
me so much just to think
of it.
All our

life. I was the ＂artist＂, bringing to our house much imagination. Steve was the

But how could such a good man have his life cut short so suddenly! I had been so sad and angry that I

the house. That leaky faucet somehow awakened me to the fact that I now had to
21
the challenge of getting things fixed.
I got a workman named Ahmed. Entering the house, he stopped before a picture of Steve and me.
＂Doesn’t your husband
22
this kind of work?＂ he asked. ＂It’s not hard.＂
＂He died months ago. When he was alive, he did all the repair jobs
23
,＂ I said quietly. Ahmed looked
at me
24
. but didn’t reply. He fixed the faucet, adjusted the dishwasher door, and replaced a showerhead.
Apparently he was gifted as Steve had been.
He did a(n)
25
job. I asked him to name his fee. ＂No charge, Ma’am.＂ he said. ＂My father died
early, and the neighbors helped my family through.＂
By fixing a faucet, Ahmed mended my soul. Although I would sure carry the pain of

Ahmed reminded me of the abundant
