When I was a teenager, whatever my mother asked me to do was immediately followed by my complaining, "I can't."      , very few tasks that I set out to finish were         completed.
One evening, my mother         me into the study where she was reading an article in the TV Guide. On the cover was a(n)        of Marlo Thomas, a famous actress now starring in one of my favorite shows.
"I want you to read this article," Mother began. "It's about Marlo Thomas. She        how a simple poem that she was forced to learn by her father         her life. She went from saying, "I can't" to "I         !" According to this article, she was able to rebuild her life, and finally her career, by learning the principles in the poem."
I took the small magazine from Mother and looked down at the pages. Beside her photo was the poem my mother had         ; a simple poem entitled, "I Can."
"I want you to learn that         by heart," Mother said.
"Mum," I said. "I can't learn that poem. It's too         ."
"It's not too long and yes, you can learn it. I want you to know it         by this time tomorrow."
I turned and made my way back to my bedroom with the magazine loosely       inmy small right hand. With a heavy heart, I sat on my bed and began my         .
"Can't is a word that is enemy to ambition（雄心）," I began. I         the line until it held     inmy heart. I        the process until the following evening, when I       said the poem aloud from my memory that has continued to be my motto.
Ms. Thomas did not know me, but her story        changed my life.
Saying, "I can," helped me to survive the worst moments of my life. Saying "I can"        me to finish things I would have otherwise seen as out of my          .

SECTION B
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.

Section B
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 phrases that best fits the context.
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.
