Of all the stories of my early childhood, the one about a tree is my mother’s favorite.I was only two when the incident occurred. We had just arrived home from a trip. Mom lifted me out of the car and turned to speak to the driver. I took advantage of my brief freedom to dash across the lawn (草坪) —and hit a large maple tree! I was running so fast that I bounced off the trunk and landed on my backside. Mom expected me to start crying, but I just sat there for a minute. Then I picked myself up and kept right on going. Mom always adds (又说到) here that, as many times as I zoomed快速移动,迅速前往 across the lawn after that, I never again crashed into that tree.Mom loves t o use this story as an example . It reminds her that children don’t enter life afraid to take risks or unwilling to try again when they fall down. She never wanted me to lose that toughness 坚韧不拔as I grew older.When I made my major life decisions, I was still that little girl tearing full-speed across the lawn. I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents’ home to look for a job. Through years of efforts, I have become a respected teacher in a school serving high-need students.We are almost certain to get knocked down at some point during the process of achieving our goal. When that happens, don’t sit in the grass and cry. Just get up and keep on going. It will all be worth it in the end.2019年全国1卷完形填空完形填空篇章精读Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.They bring with them lots of waste. The crowds might damage the beauty of the place. The glaciers(冰川)are disappearing, changing the face of Kilimanjaro.Hearing these stories, I’m skeptical about the place —other destinations are described as “purer” natural experiences.However, I soon discover that much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of camps among tons of rubbish. I find a clean mountain, with toilets at camps and along the paths. The environmental challenges are significant but the efforts made by the Tanzania National Park Authority seem to be paying off .The best of a Kilimanjaro experience , in my opinion, isn’t reaching the top. Mountains are regarded as spiritual places by many cultures.This view is especially evident on Kilimanjaro as climbers go through five ecosystems(生态系统)in the space of a few kilometers. At the base is a rainforest. It ends abruptly at 3, 000 meters, giving way to(被…代替)lands of low growing plants. Further up, the weather changes — low clouds envelope the mountainsides, which are covered with thick grass. I count twelve shades of green from where I stand. Above 4, 000 meters is the highland desert : gravel(砾石), stones and rocks. Finally you climb into an arctic-like zone with permanent snow and the glaciers that may soon disappear.Does Kilimanjaro deserve its reputation as a crowded mountain with lines of tourists ruining the atmosphere of peaceI found the opposite to be true.2019年江苏卷高考英语完形填空篇章精读Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modem age. There are species(物种)that are disappearing every day. The white-naped crane is a typical example. So scientists are trying their best to save the species from going out of existence.Chris and Tim work at a zoo, helping endangered cranes with their reproduction . Emma, a female crane, has been in their care since she arrived in 2004.Born at an international crane foundation, Emma was raised by human caretakers. This led to an unexpected consequence , though she had a wonderful time there. Emma had never taken herself as a crane and become deeply attached to humans. She refused to live with male cranes, and even had a reputation for killing some of them, which made it impossible for her to become a mother.However , the two zookeepers didn’t want to see the extinction (灭绝)of this precious species. With their patience and efforts, they successfully developed a combination of artificial breeding(人工繁殖)and natural reproduction. This enabled Emma to give birth to five baby cranes.The two keepers are proud of their productive work. But before they can be assured , more efforts must be made, because the population of the crane in the wild is on the decline , and many other species appear headed toward extinction. After all , not everyone has realized that wildlife has thoughts, feelings, and most importantly, equal rights to survive.How can we bridge(弥合差距,消除分歧)the ever-widening gap that separates us from other animals Chris and Tim offered us the answer : human beings took it for granted that their brains held all the solutions, but maybe their hearts can be a better guide .2019年天津卷真题完形填空篇章精读I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night, when fear seized me. My wallet was gone. I could only have left it on the G9 bus, which was now speeding in the dark to some unknown station.The heart-stopping(令人十分担忧的) moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the contents of that little wallet The credit cards, the driver’s license, the cash, all lost to the bus.Two hours later, back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered it while I was on the phone in the dining room. "Does Jennifer live here" I heard a lady say.In my husband’s hand was my wallet, with not a penny missing . She left before I could even make it to the door to offer my thanks.After sharing the story online, I heard from someone, who identified the lady as Erin Smith. Without delay, I called to thank her. She said she spotted (发现) my wallet on a bus seat.She calculated that going to a stranger’s house was a risky move, but she decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation . I would want someone to try to find me," she said.This one stranger responded beautifully to my small crisis , but she actually wasn’t the only one. Right after Erin took possession of my wallet on the bus, she posted a picture o f my driver’s license to an online forum(论坛), trying to see if anyone knew me.No sooner did she leave my doorstep than I had emails from two women whose kids go to my son’s nursery and who recognized my face.I’ve never exchanged words with those mom s beyond small tall, but they wanted to help. I read that people are more divided than ever, but that’s not how the people I encounter(意外遇见) tend to act.Looking back , I feel blessed someone had wanted to help a stranger. Erin had gone beyond what almost anyone would have done, finding my house on a bitterly cold night, and for that I was extremely grateful .2019年全国Ⅱ卷真题完形填空篇章精读It’s about 250 miles from the hills of west-central Iowa to Ehlers’ home in Minnesota. During the long trip home, following a weekend of hunting, Ehlers thought about the small dog he had seen trembling alongside the road. He had tried to coax (哄)the dog to him but, frightened, it had run off .Back home, Ehlers was troubled by that lost dog. So, four days later, he called his friend Greg, and the two drove back . After a long and careful search , Greg saw, across a field, the dog moving cautiously away. Ehlers eventually succeeded in coaxing the animal to him. Nervousness and fear were replaced with joy . It just started licking(舔)Ehlers’ face.A local farmer told them the dog sounded like one advertised as lost in the local paper. The ad had a phone number for a town in southern Michigan. Ehlers called the number of Jeff and Lisa to tell them he had found their dog.Jeff had hunted in Iowa before Thanksgiving with his dog, Rosie, but the gun shots had scared the dog off. Jeff searched in vain for Rosie in the next four days.Ehlers returned to Minnesota, and then drove 100 miles to Minneapolis to put Rosie on a flight to Michigan."It’s good to know there’s still someone out there who cares enough to go to that kind of trouble ," says Lisa of Ehlers’ rescue effort ."I figured whoever lost the dog was probably just as close to it as I am to my dogs," says Ehlers. "If it had been my dog, I’d hope that somebody would be willing to go that extra mile."2019年全国Ⅲ卷真题完形填空篇章精读The small town of Rjukan in Norway is situated between several mountains and does not get direct sunlight from late September to mid-March— nearly six months out of the year.Of course, we notice it when the sun is shining," says Karin Ro, who works for the town’s tourism office.“We see the sky is blue , but down in the valley it’s darker —it’s like on a cloudy day.”But that changed when a system of high-tech mirrors was introduced to reflect sunlight from neighboring peaks(山峰)into the valley below. Wednesday, residents(居民)of Rjukan received their very first ray of winter sunshine:A row of reflective boards on a nearby mountainside were put to use . The mirrors are controlled by a computer that directs them to turn along with the sun throughout the day and to close during windy weather. They reflect a concentrated beam (束)of light onto the town’s c entral square , creating an area of sunlight roughly 600 square meters. When the light appeared , Rjukan residents gathered together.“People have been sit ting there and standing there and taking pictures of each other," Ro says. "The town square was totally full . I think almost all the people in the town were there. "The 3,500 residents cannot all enjoy the sunshine at the same time.However , the new light feels like more than enough for the town’s sun-starved residents."It's not very big ,” she says, "but it is enough when we are sharing .”2019年北京卷真题完形填空篇章精读Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure low-income students in his neighbourhood arrive at their college classes on time.A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been 11 offering free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started 12 volunteering his car to the young people. Wilson has 13 covered am astonishing 64, 000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous 14 wandered with the students he transports to and from school.The students who he’s 15 driven have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they’ve also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students 16 even call him "Grandpa".Tina Stern 17 received rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free 18 transportation ."It’s not just a ride;you’re not just s itting there in 19 awkward silence or with your headphones on." Stern said."He asks you questions and actually 20 remembers the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he’ll 21 check on those things."Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organization, On Point for College. Although the 22 programme asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes 23 beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration.Wilson is there to 24 assist them. If they run out of certain daily necessities. Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never 25 hesitates to buy them a meal.For many students, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely 26 necessary for them to be ableto complete their college education.Some students don’t have a reliable car, whil e others have to 27 share vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has 28 allowed them to complete their education —but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the 29 experience ."I just love driving and I love these kids, "Wilson said."It’s such a(n) 30 privilege(此处作:荣幸,幸运)to be a part of these kids’ lives, even just fora few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories."2018年浙江11月考试高考英语真题完形填空篇章精读I had a student today who got his finger stuck inside a test tube in science class.It was really quite stuck.This young man’s finger continued to get whiter and whiter right before my eyes.Remaining calm , I suggested he carefully rotate(转动) the tube.It wouldn’t move a bit.He tried soap and cold water. Still stuck.Meanwhile chaos was breaking out in the class.Finally, I sent the young man to our secretary, who was a miracle(奇迹) worker raising three kids of her own.With her in charge, I was confident all would be OK.To get the students back in order, I shared my own story of getting my knee stuck between the rails of a balcony. Same kind of curiosity, l remembered wondering then how far I could thrust(塞) my knee between the rails. Inch by inch, I kept pushing and before I knew it, my knee was stuck and swelling(肿胀) before my eyes and in front of lots of strangers at a popular Las Vegas hotel!Hearing my story, many students followed with their own stories of heads, arms, fingers stuck in places they shouldn’tbe . A few minutes later, the young man came back, test tube unbroken and finger returning to a lovely shade of pink.I just couldn’t get mad at this kid.He’s only twelve. I too got my knee unstuck, but not without great embarrassment .The excuse for me, however, was not youth but plain stupidity. I was after all fifty years old when this happened.2019浙江卷6月真题考试完形填空篇章文本精读There are lots of ways to raise awareness for a cause. Usually, the stranger the idea is, the more it gets noticed. And that’s p recisely why one garbage-eating Frenchman has caught our attention.Baptiste Dubanchet is biking across Europe, surviving entirely on discarded (丢弃) food. The three-month, 1,900-mile journey from Paris to Warsaw is Dubanchet’s way _ of raising awareness of food waste in Europe and throughout the world.As you can observe, the trip is no piece of cake. While restaurants throw away tons of food each year, much of it remains inaccessible because of locked garbage containers, health regulations, or business policies. Only about one in ten places offered _ him food that would otherwise be discarded. For legal reasons, most restaurants have a policy against giving away food waste. “Some people have even risked their jobs by giving me food,” Dubanchet said.What’s hardly _ interesting is the attitude various cities have toward Dubanchet’s cause. Berlin has been the easiest _ while the most difficult was the Czech town of Pilsen. There, he had to ask at some 50 different stores or restaurants before finding food. The 5 challenge_ is all the more serious when you consider the demanding exercise required to bike from France to Poland.“I have to get food fast because after all the biking I am tired and I need the energy,” Dubanchet explained. “Is my stomach full or e mpty That is the most important thing, not what I am eating.”He aims to finish his journey by mid-July. With any luck, he’ll turn a few more heads in the process.2018年全国1卷真题完形填空篇章精读During my second year at the city college, I was told that the educat ion department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I jumped at the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn’t want to save a few dollars More than that, I’d always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren’t excited enough about free credits, news about our instructor was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which meant I would be learning from one of the game’s best . I could hardly wait to meet him.Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this job was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it clear that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to pass the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to apply what we would learn in class to our future professions and, eventually , to our lives. I managed to get an A in that course and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the classroom .Ten years after my c hess class with Ashley, I’m still putting to use what he taught me:“The absolute most important skill that you learn when you play chess is how to make good decisions . On every single move you have to analyze a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and evaluatethe best move from among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my role as a journalist.2018年全国卷2卷完形填空篇章精读Two weeks earlier. my son.

According to the 14 people that found them, the place where they got 15 was only about 10 meters away from the opening of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 16 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering not far away.Don’t you think you can compare it with 17 itself?

It was he who 1 my potential in writing, and his 2 made me a writer eventually.He was kind to me, but I had no 3 that he took particular notice of me. There were other 4 kids in the class, and soon I fell back into my usual 5 and thought that I was just a little over average in most things.

Those six words were written in his clear and neat handwriting. It was the first time he or anyone had 11 in any way that writing was a 12 option for me. We’d never had any writers in our family line,and we didn’t know any writers personally, even 13 ,so writing for a living didn’tseem something 14 to me.

Before they reached their car, they 4 the baby in the plastic baby carrier that he 5 in for safety. The couple then drove off in their car towards home.After they had driven a few miles, they glanced at the back 6 to see how the baby was. To their 7 , the baby was not there.

The 14 couple took their baby home and were always careful after that.There was one thing 15 with the story. It was not true.

Of all the stories of my early childhood, the one about a tree is my mother’s favorite.I was only two when the incident occurred. We had just arrived home from a trip. Mom lifted me out of the car and turned to speak to the driver. I took advantage of my brief freedom to dash across the lawn (草坪) — and hit a large maple tree! I was running so fast that I bounced off the trunk and landed on my backside. Mom expected me to start crying, but I just sat there for a minute. Then I picked myself up and kept right on going. Mom always adds (又说到) here that, as many times as I zoomed快速移动,迅速前往 across the lawn after that, I never again crashed into that tree.Mom loves to use this story as an example . It reminds her that children don’t enter life afraid to take risks or unwilling to try again when they fall down. She never wanted me to lose that toughness 坚韧不拔as I grew older. When I made my major life decisions, I was still that little girl tearing full-speed across the lawn. I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents’ home to look for a job. Through years of efforts, I have become a respected teacher in a school serving high-need students.We are almost certain to get knocked down at some point during the process of achieving our goal. When that happens, don’t si t in the grass and cry. Just get up and keep on going. It will all be worth it in the end.2019年全国1卷完形填空完形填空篇章精读Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.They bring with them lots of waste. The crowds might damage the beauty of the place. The glaciers(冰川)are disappearing, changing the face of Kilimanjaro.Hearing the se stories, I’m skeptical about the place —other destinations are described as “purer” natural experiences.However, I soon discover that much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of camps among tons of rubbish. I find a clean mountain, with toilets at camps and along the paths. The environmental challenges are significant but the efforts made by the Tanzania National Park Authority seem to be paying off .The best of a Kilimanjaro experience , in my opinion, isn’t reaching the top. Mountains are regarded as spiritual places by many cultures.This view is especially evident on Kilimanjaro as climbers go through five ecosystems(生态系统)in the space of a few kilometers. At the base is a rainforest. It ends abruptly at 3, 000 meters, giving way to(被…代替)lands of low growing plants. Further up, the weather changes — low clouds envelope the mountainsides, which are covered with thick grass. I count twelve shades of green from where I stand. Above 4, 000 meters is the highland desert : gravel(砾石), stones and rocks. Finally you climb into an arctic-like zone with permanent snow and the glaciers that may soon disappear.Does Kilimanjaro deserve its reputation as a crowded mountain with lines of tourists ruining the atmosphere of peaceI found the opposite to be true.2019年江苏卷高考英语完形填空篇章精读Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modem age. There are species(物种)that are disappearing every day. The white-naped crane is a typical example. So scientists are trying their best to save the species from going out of existence.Chris and Tim work at a zoo, helping endangered cranes with their reproduction . Emma, a female crane, has been in their care since she arrived in 2004.Born at an international crane foundation, Emma was raised by human caretakers. This led to an unexpected consequence , though she had a wonderful time there. Emma had never taken herself as a crane and become deeply attached to humans. She refused to live with male cranes, and even had a reputation for killing some of them, which made it impossible for her to become a mother. However , the two zookeepers didn’t want to see the extinction(灭绝)of this precious species. With their patience and efforts, they successfully developed a combination of artificial breeding(人工繁殖)and natural reproduction. This enabled Emma to give birth to five baby cranes.The two keepers are proud of their productive work. But before they can be assured , more efforts must be made, because the population of the crane in the wild is on the decline , and many other species appear headed toward extinction. After all , not everyone has realized that wildlife has thoughts, feelings, and most importantly, equal rights to survive.How can we bridge(弥合差距,消除分歧)the ever-widening gap that separates us from other animalsChris and Tim offered us the answer : human beings took it for granted that their brains held all the solutions, but maybe their hearts can be a better guide .2019年天津卷真题完形填空篇章精读I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night, when fear seized me. My wallet was gone. I could only have left it on the G9 bus, which was now speeding in the dark to some unknown station.The heart-stopping(令人十分担忧的) moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the contents of that little walletThe credit cards, the driver’s license, the cash, all lost to the bus.Two hours later, back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered it while I was on the phone in the dining room. "Does Jennifer live here" I heard a lady say.In my husband’s hand was my wallet, with not a penny missing . She left before I could even make it to the door to offer my thanks.After sharing the story online, I heard from someone, who identified the lady as Erin Smith. Without delay, I called to thank her. She said she spotted (发现) my wallet on a bus seat.She calculated that going to a stranger’s house was a risky move, but she decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation . I would want someone to try to find me," she said.This one stranger responded beautifully to my small crisis , but she actually wasn’t the only one. Right after Erin took possession of my wallet on the bus, she posted a picture of my driver’s license to an online forum(论坛), trying to see if anyone knew me. No sooner did she leave my doorstep than I had emails from two women whose kids go to my son’s nursery and who recognized my face.I’ve never ex changed words with those moms beyond small tall, but they wanted to help.I read that people are more divided than ever, but that’s not how the people I encounter(意外遇见) tend to act.Looking back , I feel blessed someone had wanted to help a stranger. Erin had gone beyond what almost anyone would have done, finding my house on a bitterly cold night, and for that I was extremely grateful .2019年全国Ⅱ卷真题完形填空篇章精读It’s about 250 miles from the hills of west-central Iowa to Ehlers’ home in Minnesot a. During the long trip home, following a weekend of hunting, Ehlers thought about the small dog he had seen trembling alongside the road. He had tried to coax(哄)the dog to him but, frightened, it had run off .Back home, Ehlers was troubled by that lost dog. So, four days later, he called his friend Greg, and the two drove back . After a long and careful search , Greg saw, across a field, the dog moving cautiously away. Ehlers eventually succeeded in coaxing the animal to him. Nervousness and fear were replaced with joy . It just started licking(舔)Ehlers’ face.A local farmer told them the dog sounded like one advertised as lost in the local paper. The ad had a phone number for a town in southern Michigan. Ehlers called the number of Jeff and Lisa to tell them he had found their dog.Jeff had hunted in Iowa before Thanksgiving with his dog, Rosie, but the gun shots had scared the dog off. Jeff searched in vain for Rosie in the next four days.Ehlers returned to Minnesota, and then drove 100 miles to Minneapolis to put Rosie on a flight to Michigan."It’s good to know there’s still someone out there who cares enough to go to that kind of trouble ," says Lisa of Ehlers’ rescue effort ."I figured whoever lost the dog was probably just as close to it as I am to my dogs," says Ehlers."If it had been my dog, I’d hope that somebody would be willing to go that extra mile."2019年全国Ⅲ卷真题完形填空篇章精读The small town of Rjukan in Norway is situated between several mountains and does not get direct sunlight from late September to mid-March— nearly six months out of the year.Of course, we notice it when the sun is shining," says Karin Ro, who works for the town’s tourism office.“We see the sky is blue , but down in the valley i t’s darker —it’s like on a cloudy day.”But that changed when a system of high-tech mirrors was introduced to reflect sunlight from neighboring peaks(山峰)into the valley below. Wednesday, residents(居民)of Rjukan received their very first ray of winter sunshine: A row of reflective boards on a nearby mountainside were put to use . The mirrors are controlled by a computer that directs them to turn along with the sun throughout the day and to close during windy weather. They reflect a concentrated beam(束)of light onto the town’s central square , creating an area of sunlight roughly 600 square meters. When the light appeared , Rjukan residents gathered together.“People have been sit ting there and standing there and taking pictures of each other," Ro says. "The town square was totally full . I think almost all the people in the town were there. "The 3,500 residents cannot all enjoy the sunshine at the same time.However , the new light feels like more than enough for the town’s sun-starved residents."It's not very big ,” she says, "but it is enough when we are sharing .”2019年北京卷真题完形填空篇章精读Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure low-income students in his neighbourhood arrive at their college classes on time.A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been 11 offering free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started12 volunteering his car to the young people. Wilson has 13 covered am astonishing 64, 000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous 14 wandered with the students he transports to and from school.The students who he’s 15 driven have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they’ve also got out of their time in school i s finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students 16 even call him "Grandpa".Tina Stern 17 received rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free 18 transportation ."It’s not j ust a ride;you’re not just sitting there in 19 awkward silence or with your headphones on." Stern said."He asks you questions and actually 20 remembers the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he’ll 21 check on those things."Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organization, On Point for College. Although the 22 programme asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes 23 beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration.Wilson is there to 24 assist them. If they run out of certain daily necessities.Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never 25 hesitates to buy them a meal.For many students, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely 26 necessary for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don’t have a reliable car, while others have to 27 share vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has 28 allowed them to complete their education — but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the 29 experience ."I just love driving and I love these kids, "Wilson said."It’s such a(n) 30 privilege(此处作:荣幸,幸运) to be a part of these kids’ lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories."2018年浙江11月考试高考英语真题完形填空篇章精读I had a student today who got his finger stuck inside a test tube in science class.It was really quite stuck.This young man’s finger continued to get whiter and whiter right before my eyes.Remaining calm , I suggested he carefully rotate(转动) the tube.It w ouldn’t move a bit.He tried soap and cold water. Still stuck.Meanwhile chaos was breaking out in the class.Finally, I sent the young man to our secretary, who was a miracle(奇迹) worker raising three kids of her own.With her in charge, I was confident all would be OK.To get the students back in order, I shared my own story of getting my knee stuck between the rails of a balcony. Same kind of curiosity, l remembered wondering then how far I could thrust(塞) my knee between the rails. Inch by inch, I kept pushing and before I knew it, my knee was stuck and swelling(肿胀) before my eyes and in front of lots of strangers at a popular Las Vegas hotel!Hearing my story, many students followed with their own stories of heads, arms, fingers stuck in places they shouldn’t be . A few minutes later, the young man came back, test tube unbroken and finger returning to a lovely shade of pink.I just couldn’t get mad at this kid.He’s only twelve. I too got my knee unstuck, but not without great embarrassment .The excuse for me, however, was not youth but plain stupidity. I was after all fifty years old when this happened.2019浙江卷6月真题考试完形填空篇章文本精读There are lots of ways to raise awareness for a cause. Usually, the stranger the idea is, the more i t gets noticed. And that’s precisely why one garbage-eating Frenchman has caught our attention.Baptiste Dubanchet is biking across Europe, surviving entirely on discarded (丢弃) food. The three-month, 1,900-mile journey from Paris to Warsaw is Dubanchet’s way _ of raising awareness of food waste in Europe and throughout the world.As you can observe, the trip is no piece of cake. While restaurants throw away tons of food each year, much of it remains inaccessible because of locked garbage containers, health regulations, or business policies. Only about one in ten places offered _ him food that would otherwise be discarded. For legal reasons, most restaurants have a policy against giving away food waste. “Some people have even risked th eir jobs by giving me f ood,” Dubanchet said.What’s hardly _ interesting is the attitude various cities have toward Dubanchet’s cause. Berlin has been the easiest _ while the most difficult was the Czech town of Pilsen. There, he had to ask at some 50 different stores or restaurants before finding food. The 5 challenge_ is all the more serious when you consider the demanding exercise required to bike from France to Poland.“I have to get food fast because after all the biking I am tired and I need the energy,” Dubanchet explained. “Is my stomach full or emptyThat is the most important thing, not what I am eating.”He aims to finish his journey by mid-July. With any luck, he’ll turn a few more heads in the process.2018年全国1卷真题完形填空篇章精读During my second year at the city colle ge, I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I jumped at the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn’t want to save a few dollars More than that, I’d always wantedt o learn chess. And, even if I weren’t excited enough about free credits, news about our instructor was appealing enough t o me. He was an international grandmaster, which meant I would be learning from one of the game’s best . I could hardly wait to meet him.Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this job was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it clear that our credits would be hard-earned.

I managed to get an A in that course and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the classroom .Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I’m still putting to use what he taught me:“The absolute most important skill that you learn when you play chess is how to make good decisions . On every single move you have to analyze a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and evaluatethe best move from among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my role as a journalist.2018年全国卷2卷完形填空篇章精读Two weeks earlier. my son.
