At some point the captain took control.He told the six of us where to sit，so we would __6__ out the boat.My __7__ was in my backpack.I wanted to __8__ the scene，but I couldn’t.Any __9__ would imbalance the boat.
Suddenly there was a huge noise.The giant wave hit the boat，but in the split second of __10__，the incredibly skilled captain __11__ to swerve (使突然轉向) us up and onto the wave.We __12__ it for a few seconds.Then the boat glided from the __13__ of the wave down into safe waters.

解析　句意：我們被困住了。A.stuck卡住，陷入，動不了；B.linked把……連接起來；C.dragged拖拉；D.pushed推，擠。根據上文可知，海嘯波移動速度很快，因此，這里指作者他們措手不及，陷入困境。be stuck“被困住”。

√
√
√
11.A.guaranteed B.struggled C.determined D.managed
解析　根據下文“Then the boat glided from the ________ of the wave down into safe waters.”可知，此處指船長成功轉向，讓小船漂在巨浪之上。
12.A.smoothed B.challenged C.surfed D.explored
解析　根據“Then the boat glided from the ________ of the wave down into safe waters.”可推斷出，作者乘坐的小船在海浪上漂浮了一段時間。

【語篇解讀】　本文是記敘文。作者朋友們的來訪打攪了作者一家的生活，于是他和妻子改變了來訪規則，結果朋友們來的次數減少又導致了妻子的不高興，她想要改變規則，但作者不同意，事情陷入僵局。
1.comfortably　[考查詞性轉換。修飾動詞accommodate用副詞comfortably作狀語，意為“容易地；沒問題”，故填comfortably。]
2.included　[考查非謂語動詞。include 與邏輯主語us之間是動賓關系，用過去分詞作定語，故填included。]
3.theirs　[考查代詞。句中使用了雙重所有格“限定詞＋名詞＋of＋名詞所有格/名詞性物主代詞”，表示“……的……”，句中用名詞性物主代詞theirs作賓語，故填theirs。]
4.that　[考查名詞性從句。句意：很明顯，他們打算和我們住在一起，因為他們從車里拖來枕頭。It是形式主語，空格處引導主語從句，從句句意完整，成分齊全，用連詞that引導該從句，構成句型“it is obvious that...”。故填that。]
5.trying　[考查非謂語動詞。set about doing sth“開始做某事”，介詞about后接動名詞作賓語，故填trying。]
6.the　[考查冠詞。表示“……的人數”，用定冠詞the，構成固定短語the number of...，故填the。]
7.at　[考查介詞。at the end of“在……結尾”是固定短語，故填at。]
8.had happened　[考查時態。句意：三天的假期結束后，大家都走了。我和妻子就發生的事情以及我們該怎么辦進行了長時間的討論。根據句意，“發生”這一動作發生在“進行討論”之前，表示“過去的過去”用過去完成時，故填had happened。]
9.to change　[考查非謂語動詞。decide to do sth“決定做某事”，用不定式作賓語，故填to change。]
10.unhappy　[考查詞性轉換。句意：因此，我們的朋友拜訪次數變少了，這讓我妻子不高興了。提示詞作使役動詞make后賓語my wife的補足語，用形容詞，結合句意，應用其反義詞unhappy，表示“不高興的”，故填unhappy。]

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
I was going to die in Antarctica.I was certain.An image of my frost－covered body，pale and lifeless，filled my mind as I glanced around.In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me，the only feature on the landscape being the division between snow and sky.I gazed sadly at my team.They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon.
I was leading an expedition(探險隊) attempting to reach the South Pole.The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world—from Jamaica，India，Singapore and Cyprus—many of whom had never seen snow，or spent a night in a tent before we set off.Our aim was to be the most international all－female team to reach the South Pole.
As I watched，the rest of the team had marched on，unaware that I was not with them.By the time I realized that my sledge was firmly stuck，the team were already a long way ahead of me.I called out to Era，my teammate from Brunei.“Era! Stop！”
Getting no response，I called again，but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind.Seconds passed.Nothing.I was gradually being left alone，completely defenseless against the fatally low temperatures of Antarctica.
My strength increased when I thought of a cold，lonely death.I pulled again my sledge，which moved a little.I removed the ice with my ski pole and boot，desperately trying to break the sledge free.The sledge shot forward，knocking me off balance.I struggled to my feet and set off after the team.
I caught up just as Reena，my teammate from India，looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing.She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance.
As we continued，my panic slowly faded.For the rest of the day each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes.They were not going to risk losing me again.
【語篇解讀】　本文是記敘文。文章講述了“我”帶領一個國際女子探險隊在南極探險，途中“我”的雪橇被雪卡住，以致掉隊，后來“我”經過努力克服危機，趕上了隊伍的故事。
1.What is special about the expedition team
A.They were all female.
B.They were all professional.
C.They made the longest expedition.
D.They had been strictly trained.
解析　細節理解題。從第二段內容可知作者帶領的探險隊是由來自世界各地的普通女性組成的，因此A項正確。
√
2.What made the author get her sledge out of the ice
A.The shouts from her teammates.
B.Her strong desire to live.
C.The sudden change in wind direction.
D.The natural beauty ahead.
解析　推理判斷題。根據第五段第一句可知，想到冰冷孤獨的死亡使作者的力量大增，從而將雪橇從冰雪里拔了出來，因此可以說是強大的求生欲望解救了作者。
√
3.At last，each of the team members kept looking back to ________.
A.avoid being attacked from behind
B.make sure that none fell behind
C.check the distance they had covered
D.keep a record of the route they took
解析　細節理解題。根據最后一段最后一句可知，每個人不停地回頭看是為了保證沒有人掉隊。
√
4.Which may be the best title of the passage
A.How to Survive in Antarctica
B.A Mysterious Trip to the South Pole
C.A Female Expedition
D.Being Left Behind in the Snow
解析　標題歸納題。本文主要講述了作者在一次南極探險中由于掉隊而差點發生危險的經歷。

What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common More than you might imagine.Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi made a journey together to remote Gooseberry Mesa，for an adventure aimed at taking pictures of the night sky.
Gooseberry Mesa，far from population centers，is protected from the nighttime light pollution，making it perfect for star photographers.Nature night environments such as this are rare.
Camping，hiking，and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa stress the similarity between photography and racing.Bubba notes，“Once you start the engine there’s no turning back—I know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees，“I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera—I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba，developing patience allowed him to become a better driver and it is equally important to his photography.
Seizing the moment is crucial too.“Every minute things are changing—the Earth’s shadow，the moonlight，the rise of stars，” Batak explains.“If you lose the moment，it’s gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as important when travelling in Utah’s rough landscapes under freezing temperatures.
Think incoming clouds，wind，or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect photo According to Batak，“With wide－angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity.Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.”
The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography.“We are both crazy about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries(邊界)，” says Batak.“The night sky has a unifying power.The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.”
【語篇解讀】　本文是說明文。文章主要講述賽車手布巴和攝影師巴塔克一起進行的一次旨在拍攝夜空的探險。
5.Why did Bubba and Batak choose Gooseberry Mesa
A.It has a small population.
B.It has perfect weather conditions.
C.It is free from light pollution.
D.It has beautiful scenery.
解析　細節理解題。根據第二段內容可知，二人選擇Gooseberry Mesa是因為那里沒有光污染，適合星空攝影。
√
6.Which is required in both car racing and photography
A.Willpower. B.Teamwork.
C.Bravery. D.Creativity.
解析　細節理解題。根據第三段中Bubba說的“in that seat for more than three hours”和Batak說的“continue through the entire night”可知，賽車和攝影都需要毅力。
√
7.What does Batak think of unexpected weather as a photographer
A.Annoying. B.Disastrous.
C.Positive. D.Challenging.
解析　觀點態度題。根據第五段中的“With wide－angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity.”可知，Batak認為每種意想不到的天氣對他的攝影來說都是一個機會，所以他對意外的天氣持積極樂觀的態度。
√
8.Which may be a message behind the team’s photography work
A.Appreciating the night sky.
B.Connecting various cultures.
C.Removing racial boundaries.
D.Protecting the environment.
解析　推理判斷題。根據最后一段內容可知，Batak他們都熱衷于將文化融合在一起，并利用他們的作品打破邊界，在他看來，夜空能連接整個世界。所以“連接不同的文化”可能是他們的攝影作品表達的信息。
√
Ⅱ.七選五
Have you ever thought about what sand means to our lives？__1__，but we are always ignoring its contributions to our lives.However，as British geologist Michael Welland once explained in his book on sand，“Without it，our world would be dramatically different.”
Dutch designers Nadine Sterk and Lonny van Ryswyck were deeply inspired by Welland’s book on sand.They hoped that people would never forget the close relationships with the primary materials of our lives.In 2010，Nadine and Lonny started their project called “To See a World in a Grain of Sand”.They collected sand from beaches，rivers and mountains around the world.They fired the sand at high temperatures.__2__.These colors came from movement，erosion and transformation of thousands of years.Nadine and Lonny then made the melted sand into glass.The glass’s design referenced Dutch glass and paintings of the 17th century.__3__，because they wanted people to understand the world by understanding the journey of sand.
Last year，Nadine and Lonny’s works were displayed for the first time during Dutch Design Week and won the Dutch Design Awards.__4__，because their designs not only challenged the traditions of today’s glass manufacturing industry，but also called on people to identify more deeply with the places where they lived.
__5__，you can join them.Firstly，you collect a bottle of sand from your favorite place and take a photo of that place.Then，you complete the form for your sand sample and share your own story on Nadine and Lonny’s website.After that，you should send the sand sample，the photo and the address to Nadine and Lonny.Finally，you just need to wait for your own glass!
A.In the process，unique colors were shown
B.The judges thought highly of their designs
C.It was able to repair itself on a regular basis
D.This natural material seems to be everywhere
E.If you are interested in Nadine and Lonny’s project
F.They also stamped the origin of the sand on the glass
G.These designs were displayed and voted both online and offline
【語篇解讀】　本文是記敘文。文章主要敘述了荷蘭設計師Nadine 和Lonny深受韋蘭的關于沙子的書的啟發，開啟了名為“一粒沙里看世界”的項目。他們希望人們永遠不要忘記與我們生活的主要材料之間的密切關系。
1.D　[D項This natural material指代上文sand，D項“這種天然物質似乎無處不在”與下文“我們總是忽視它對我們生活的貢獻”構成對比關系，由but連接。]
2.A　[他們在高溫下燒制沙子的過程中，沙子會呈現出獨特的顏色。而且A項unique colors與下一句話中的These colors 互指。]
3.F　[他們還在玻璃上印上了沙子的來源，因為他們希望人們通過了解沙子的旅程來了解世界。F項中the glass與上文原詞復現。]
4.B　[上文講到 Nadine和Lonny的作品首次在荷蘭設計周上展出并獲得了荷蘭設計獎，B項“評委們對他們的設計評價很高”，承接上文，B項中designs與上文原詞復現。]
5.E　[E項“如果你對他們的項目感興趣”與下文“你可以加入他們”構成條件關系。]

【語篇解讀】　本文是記敘文。本文講述Rene Compean在洛杉磯國家森林公園迷路后得到好心人的幫助，最后得救的故事。
1.A.attractive B.new C.smooth D.natural
解析　根據上文“Rene Compean was no stranger to Angeles National Forest.”可知，Rene Compean對洛杉磯國家森林公園并不陌生，但是他還是迷路了，可以推測他是挑戰了新的線路。
2.A.shock B.confusion C.fear D.excitement
解析　根據第三段中“After ________ two mountain lions and a bear...in case an animal came close.”可知，晚上叢林中很危險，所以Compean開始害怕起來。
√
√
3.A.signal B.chocolate C.light D.iron
解析　根據下文中“he texted the police”可推測，他是爬到了一處有信號的地點，此處“one bar of”是指“一格”，常用于指手機信號。
4.A.function B.rest C.break D.die
解析　die死機，電量耗盡。前文提到信號只有一格，而且徒步了一天，手機很有可能是快沒電了，下一段的“All Compean could do then was wait”也印證了這一點。
√
√
5.A.text B.video C.shot D.record
解析　根據上文“attaching a photo showing where he was”中的photo可知，此處也表示“照片”，shot作名詞時有該意義。
6.A.sleep B.hope C.stare D.reflect
解析　根據上文可知，Compean在向警察求助后手機沒電了，自己又迷路了，所以只能默默等待，希望警察盡快找到自己。
√
√
7.A.catching B.fighting C.hunting D.spotting
解析　根據后文“he kept a big stick and some ________ rocks beside him in case an animal came close”可知，Compean是遠遠地看見了這些野獸，想要盡量保護自己。
8.A.sharp B.shiny C.clean D.flat
解析　根據上文可知，Compean看到了獅子和熊這類兇猛的野獸，為了防止它們接近自己肯定會將鋒利的石頭放在身邊，sharp意為“鋒利的”，符合常識。
√
√
9.A.going about B.talking about C.leaving for D.looking for
解析　go about著手做；talk about談論；leave for去往；look for尋找。根據后文“he pulled up a satellite map”可知，Kuo喜歡尋找照片的拍攝地。
10.A.image B.injury C.cut D.number
解析　根據前文可知，Compean趁著手機還有信號給警察發了一張圖片，圖片上顯示他的腿被石頭和植物包圍，所以Kuo看到的是他的腿的圖片。上文的photo和shot與image是同義詞復現。
√
√
11.A.changed B.counted C.narrowed D.added
解析　根據下文“after knowing Compean’s car was parked near Buckhorn Campground”可知，Kuo在這之后把搜索范圍縮小到附近區域。
12.A.realized B.admitted C.recalled D.imagined
解析　根據后文“He’s got to be on the south side because there’s not really any ________ valleys on the north side.”可知，Kuo在對比地圖后，得出了合理的結論，所以是“意識到”這件事。
√
√
13.A.bare B.green C.deep D.dangerous
解析　根據第二段的“The ________ showed his legs surrounded by an endless landscape of rocks and plants.”可知，Compean的位置旁邊是無盡的綠植，Kuo是據此排查的。
14.A.figures B.actions C.locations D.measures
解析　結合文意可知，Kuo一直在縮小搜索范圍，想要找到Compean的位置，由句中finally可知是匹配到了迷路的地點。
√
√
15.A.detective B.policeman C.hiker D.stranger
解析　根據全文可知，Kuo只是一個喜歡尋找照片拍攝地點的科技工作人員，對于Compean來說是一個陌生人。

UNIT 4　ADVERSITY AND COURAGE
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
Many of us have heard of Alex Honnold，who made history in 2018 when he became the first man to climb EI Capitan without ropes or safety equipment.But his mother，Dierdre Wolownick，just became the oldest woman to conquer the famous peak：she reached the top on September 23—the morning of her 70th birthday.
Dierdre，the writer and language teacher，decided to take up climbing as a means to connect more with her son.In 2008，accompanied by her son Alex，she visited a climbing gym and completed 12 routes that first day with his help，but it was months before she worked up the courage to return and practice on her own.
Dierdre became committed to the sport，and began to meet friends and sharpen her skills.She scaled(登上) parts of Half Dome and Cathedral Peak at a time when many people at her age are thinking about retirement and slowing down.The writer would go on to publish a book about her climbing experiences with Alex called The Sharp End of Life：A Mother’s Story.
“As a mother，I am impressed by this role exchange process.Parents and children often wind up changing roles in life as they get older，” she writes in her book.“But never，I thought，is that transformation as obvious as when they climb together.”
On September 23，Dierdre and her friends set out in the dark，at 6 am.The route is steep (陡峭的) enough to require all－fours，grabbing rocks and trees and whatever else will hold the weight.Yet despite all difficulties the team made it to the top.“It was really inspiring to watch her and then to have her on top with all of us，” said one of Dierdre’s friends.“There was a special look on everyone’s face.We knew where we were.We knew how amazing the moment truly was.”
【語篇解讀】　本文是記敘文。文章講述了世界級攀巖者亞歷克斯·霍諾爾德的母親迪爾德麗·沃羅尼克。
1.Why did Dierdre start climbing mountains
A.To know her son better.
B.To celebrate her birthday.
C.To seek writing inspiration.
D.To set an example for the old.
解析　細節理解題。根據文章第二段第一句可知，迪爾德麗開始爬山是因為想更多地了解自己的兒子。
√
2.Which of the following best describes Dierdre
A.Patient. B.Courageous.
C.Intelligent. D.Generous.
解析　推理判斷題。迪爾德麗70歲了，還能開始學習攀巖，并登上了高峰。由此推斷出她是一個有勇氣的人。
√
3.What may be a suitable title for the text
A.Mountain climbing benefits health

Over a hundred years after it sank near Antarctica，the ship of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton has been found using underwater robots.
In 1914，Ernest Shackleton and his 27 members left England in a wooden sailing ship called the Endurance.Shackleton hoped to become the first to cross Antarctica.But in 1915，the Endurance became trapped in the thick ice over the Weddell Sea.The ice broke the Endurance and later sank it.Then the ship’s captain kept accurate records of the ship’s position，and the ship’s photographer even took pictures of it as it went down.But the ship，deep in the icy waters near Antarctica，had never been found.
On Wednesday，a search team called “Endurance 22” announced it had located the ship.The Endurance was found 3 kilometers below the ocean’s surface，about 6 kilometers south of its last known position.According to the “Endurance 22” team’s report，the name can be clearly read on the back of the ship，and its wheel looks ready to be turned.
Though the ship is made of wood，it has survived with little damage.Scientists say that the small organisms(微生物) that normally break down wooden objects underwater don’t live in the cold waters around Antarctica.
The team ran the project from an ice－breaking ship.To locate the Endurance，the team used two underwater robots called Sabertooths.The robots could travel by themselves under the ice and go where the ship could not.For the last two weeks，the robots have been searching the sea floor in a 390－square kilometer area.
The robots were looking for anything above the sea floor.Last Saturday，the ship was found.Once the ship was located，the Sabertooths used high－quality cameras to record the Endurance in detail.Antarctica’s waters are protected by an international agreement，which means the ship can’t be disturbed.So the “Endurance 22” team plans to create a digital 3D model of the wreck(失事) site.This will allow scientists to study the ship in detail without disturbing it.
【語篇解讀】　本文是新聞報道，在科技的幫助下，極地探險家歐內斯特·沙克爾頓的船在沉沒100多年后被發現。
4.Why did the“Endurance 22” team know the ship’s possible position
A.They had first－class robots.
B.The captain kept a good record.
C.Polar explorers recalled the details.
D.The icy waters of the ship have changed.

√
5.What is the Endurance found to be like
A.It is in excellent shape.
B.It is trapped in hard ice.

√
7.What is the best title for the text
A.“Endurance 22” Announced a Great Discovery
B.A Polar Explorer’s Ship Found After Over 100 Years
C.Untold Finding of Antarctic Explorer Ernest Shackleton

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
My favourite book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St.Petersburg，Missouri.He’s a lively and clever young boy，and he finds himself in many exciting adventures.He runs away with his two friends，Huck Finn and Joe，to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days.With Huck he goes looking for treasure，with Becky he gets lost in a cave.And finally，they find a box of gold.
My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead.He decides to go to his own funeral(葬禮).He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears.Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.
Tom is the hero of the story，but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him.Becky is pretty with fair hair. Joe is Tom’s best friend.And Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.
The theme of the story is about children growing up.It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America.Finally，it talks about freedom，social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.
Why do I think The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book？Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today.And although it’s only a story，Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century，so it sounds very real.Today it is thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.Go on—read it！I know you’ll enjoy it，too.

We set off on our journey up Mount Wutai onto its peak to appreciate the mysterious and beautiful Bodhisattva Lights，ball－shaped lights floating in the whole sky with radiant beams.Seen from the foot of the mountain，the sky was gray and cloudy.__1__ It sometimes appeared in white mist，and sometimes was completely covered by clouds.
On the mountainside，our clothing grew wet.__2__ It slowed the horses down to a heavy pace.We spent the night at a small temple.The next morning we continued our climb in the rain.The road was more slippery than the day before，so we had no choice but to get down from our horses and walked on foot.
On the way，we were told the unusual phenomenon wouldn’t be observed in the rain.We sighed with disappointment.__3__ And the sun set in the west，the clouds disappeared and the mist faded.
Eventually，we arrived at the peak，with the sky filled with stars.Late in the night，we got awake by a shout.“Get up.Hurry up to see the Lights！” We moved quickly，threw on a few pieces of clothing and ran out.It was cold，making our bodies shake from head to foot.__4__ Just before our eyes，the mysterious phenomenon appeared.
Thousands of ball－shaped objects floated slowly in the distance，shining golden beams of light，as though the whole sky were filled with countless glowing lanterns.The balls moved across the sky at the same speed.__5__ They were light and delicate.Meanwhile，we all just froze there，speechless with wonder，appreciating the incredible views.
A.It seemed to rain soon.
B.We had to stop for a shelter.
C.Unexpectedly，the sky began to clear.
D.In the distance stood the peak，unclear.
E.The road was slippery and difficult to walk.
F.However，our hearts were filled with excitement.

【語篇解讀】　本文是記敘文，主要講的是作者登上五臺山山頂的旅程。
1.D　[空后說“它有時出現在白霧中，有時完全被云覆蓋”，這描述的是遠處的一個東西，不太看得清楚，D選項“遠處聳立著山峰，模糊不清”說明了山峰看不清楚，和后文的“有時出現在白霧中，有時完全被云覆蓋”相一致，因此引起下文，符合語境。]
2.E　[空前說“在山坡上，我們的衣服都濕了”說明可能下雨了，路上會滑，空后說“它使馬放慢了腳步”，說明了路上濕滑，E選項“路很滑，很難走”說明了路滑，因此承上啟下，符合語境，后文“路比前一天更滑”也是提示。]
3.C　[空前說“在路上，我們被告知在雨中不會觀察到這種不尋常的現象。我們失望地嘆了口氣”，空后說“太陽從西邊落下，云不見了，霧也散了。”,這說明天放晴了，C選項“沒想到，天空開始放晴了”說明了天空放晴了,和后文“太陽從西邊落下，云不見了，霧也散了”一致，符合語境。]
4.F　[空前說“我們迅速行動，匆匆穿上幾件衣服就跑了出去。天氣很冷，我們的身體從頭到腳都在發抖”說明天冷，空后說“就在我們眼前，神秘的現象出現了”，說明這種神秘的現象會讓作者興奮，F選項“然而，我們的心中充滿了興奮”說明了作者他們看到這種神秘現象的激動心情，其中的However表轉折，對比前面的冷和后面的興奮，因此承上啟下，符合語境。]
5.G　[空前說“成千上萬的球狀物體在遠處慢慢漂浮，閃爍著金色的光束，仿佛整個天空都布滿了無數發光的燈籠。這些球狀物體以同樣的速度劃過天空”，空后說“它們又輕又精致”，這兩句都是在描寫這些球狀物體，空格處也應該描寫它們，G選項“它們就像金魚在水里平靜地游著”也是對這些球狀物體的描述，因此承上啟下，符合語境。]
Ⅲ.完形填空

More importantly，he has brought hope for his city and young people __13__ a better life.“I just say，‘Look，I come from where you come from，and I can show you the __14__ that got me out，’” says Allen.“And __15__ may not be the way for you，but it will at least open your mind to see what’s out there.”
【語篇解讀】　本文是記敘文。文章講述了一個小號手幫助孩子們放下槍械、重拾夢想的故事。
1.A.cheering B.gathering C.shooting D.hunting
解析　由后文“kids in exchange for their guns”可知，孩子們手中是有槍的，所以這里應該是發生了槍擊案。
2.A.Surprisingly B.Originally C.Accidentally D.Unfortunately
解析　根據后文“from the city’s slum”可知，這里表示Allen是從貧民窟出來的小號手，originally表示“原來；起初”。
3.A.humorous B.imaginary C.comic D.sad
解析　根據前文可知，發生了槍擊案，所以是一個令人傷心的新聞，其他三個選項的情感色彩均與句意不符。
√
√
√
4.A.hit on B.insist on C.count on D.focus on
解析　根據后文“a possible approach”可知，Allen沒過多久就想到了一個可能有用的辦法，hit on表示“想到了……”，符合語境。
5.A.coins B.carpets C.toys D.trumpets
解析　從后文“My Trumpet Is My Weapon”可知，他用小號來換孩子們的槍，所以這里應該填入trumpets。spare trumpets表示“閑置的小號”。
6.A.experience B.program C.news D.gun
解析　從后文“My Trumpet Is My Weapon”可知，Allen一直在推行這項活動，所以這里應填入program，代指這次用小號換槍的“項目”。
√
√
√
7.A.dream B.stage C.channel D.framework
解析　這句話的主語it代指的是小號，句意為小號是釋放情緒的一個渠道，所以這里應該填入channel。
8.A.shamed B.praised C.saved D.ruined
解析　從后文“redirected my path was a trumpet and the music”可知，小號重新引導了Allen的生活，也就是說小號將他從原來悲觀的生活中拯救出來，應該填入save，其他選項的感彩不符。
√
√
9.A.safe B.excited C.awkward D.depressed
解析　孩子們面對警察會感到緊張，并且這些貧民窟的小孩用槍也是為了保護自己的安全，所以這里的意思是他聯系了市長去尋求可以讓孩子們安全繳納槍支的方式。
10.A.start B.conclusion C.ceremony D.memorial
解析　聯系前文“Allen has collected...important”可知，Allen已經交換了七支槍，雖然少，但是是個重要的開始，用start與數量少做對比，并突出這個活動的意義。
√
√
11.A.sale B.repairs C.destruction D.exchanges
解析　由前文可知有了一個重要的開始后，他一直在進行槍支與小號的交換，與后面的“After the exchanges”互相呼應。
