Last year I was put into a lower-level math class at school. The reason I was in this class had
21   to do with my intelligence. I am blind. The school   22  that it would be better for me to learn at a lower level because it takes me a great deal longer to complete school tasks.
The only problem with being in this class was that I was   23  by "at-risk" students, who did not perform well in school and were   24   in trouble with the school and the law. On Monday mornings, the kids talked about what they had done during the past   25 . I tried not to listen, but it was almost   26  not to. I heard things in that classroom that shocked me.   27
the teacher was in the room, that didn't stop my classmates from   28  their stories of drugs and violence.
      29   I was tired of their rude words. I even began to   30  the fact that I had to be there. One Tuesday morning, I went to a Christian Student Union meeting before school, where a guest speaker talked to us about praying for our   31  no matter how much we hated them. I thought a lot and began to pray for the kids in my class, asking God to   32  them for they weren't bad kids; they were just   33 .
34   what I did was automatic. When I heard their voices in class, I would pray, "Dear God, please bless so-and-so . . ." But as I continued, something was growing   35   my heart for them. My classmates gradually became more than just annoying kids to me. They began to feel like family, and I was learning to love them in a way I   36  thought possible.
I now see that praying is such a   37   act. When I pray for those around me, it also   38
my life, and it changes my understanding of others. I realized God's blessings enabled me to see the world through   39  eyes. The prayers I said for others   40  to help me the most.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
When I was little, my family used to move frequently. Before I could even get acquainted with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very 36 because of this.
But a girl with dark skin and long shiny hair changed me. Her best characteristics are her openness and 37 . She is always smiling, like a beautiful sunflower following the sun. Without doubt I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I gradually became a 38 girl. But this joyful period didn’t last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone back to my always-on-the-move childhood. I felt 39 and helpless and I was afraid that I would 40 her as my best friend. She stayed calm and said to me: “Rain, you can achieve more than I do, so 41 to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesn’t fade and we will be best friends forever.” Maybe she didn’t realize what a great 42 she was to me at that time.
However, it turned out that my concerns were well-founded(有根据的). I felt that the 43 between us was getting bigger and bigger. One day, she sent me a text message happily telling me that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy in her class.
I felt happy for her, but at the same time I was secretly worried about our friendship. I 44   her several times intending to tell her to think carefully about her relationship with the boy, but I got no more messages from her. I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not 45 . I had almost given up hope until she visited me at my campus a week later. She looked 46 but was wearing the most beautiful smile. She gave me a big hug and said: “I’m sorry. I want to be myself and your friend forever!” We cried together, ignoring the people walking past. She told me her sad story, and we knew we had gone back to how it was before.
Now I firmly believe that distance and time can’t 47 you from a friend. If you care enough about each other, friendship never fades.

There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Every day after work the man would come home and   36   with the little boy. He would always spend all of his   37   time playing with the little boy.

He   43   that it was a map of the world, and that by the time he could put it back together, his extra work would be finished, and they could   44   play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.
About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay, it's finished. Can we play now?"
The man was   45 , saying, "That's impossible. Let's go see." And sure enough, there was the picture of the world; all   46   every piece in its place.
The man said, "That's amazing! 47   did you do that?" The boy said, "It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together the whole world fell into place."

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
There are between 3000 and 6000 public languages in the world, and we must add approximately 6 __36___ private languages since each one of us necessarily has one. __37___ these facts, the possibilities for breakdowns in communication seem infinite in number. However, we do __38___ successfully from time to time. And we do learn to speak languages.                               But learning to speak languages seems to be a very __39___ process. For a long time, people thought that we learned a language only by imitation and association. __40___, a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry. The mother says, “Hot, hot!” And the baby, when it stops crying, __41___ the mother and says, “Hot, hot!” However, Noam Chomsky, a famous expert in language, __42___ that although children do learn some __43___ by imitation and association, they also combine words to make meaningful sentences in ways that are unique, unlearned and creative.
Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before, Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with the __44___ to learn language. Chomsky meant that underneath all the differences between public and private languages, there is a universal language mechanism that makes it __45___ for us, as infants, to learn any language in the world. This __46___ explains the potential that human infants have for learning language. But it does not really explain how children __47___ use language in particular ways.

I have been told in China, having a pet, particularly a dog, is often considered to be a status symbol because it shows the family can   36   to have an animal. It is different here.
In Canada it is   37   for people to have pets. Many people have dogs. Many others have cats and there are people who keep fish, birds or rabbits. Some keep what we call exotic pets. These might be ferrets, snakes or almost any other animal you can think of, although keeping   38   pets is often difficult and because it can also be hard on the animal. The keeping of some exotic animals is not allowed by law.
Now, my wife and I live in a small town. We no longer have a   39   --- we live in an apartment. We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out   40   onto the balcony so cars are no longer an issue. She’s about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more. The   41   will come when she dies and we no longer have a pet. We have had a pet for so long it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the house it will seem somehow   42 . On the other hand, we are getting older and given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we will ever have another after Callie goes. Cats are cutest, of course, when they are small kittens but a kitten is   43   for a longer time than we may have left.
I think having a pet is very good for a number of reasons. It helps to teach children how to look after a   44   creature, makes them realize that animals have feelings just like we do and that, in many ways, we depend on each other. For older people like me an animal is a   45   and a comfort to have around, a pet, properly treated, returns the favor by   46   unconditional love. Wouldn’t this world be a great place if people could learn how to do that.
