"Well", he replied, " 6 I do this ?" And he dropped it on the 7 and started to step on it with his shoes. He picked it up. Now it was crumpled and 8 .
"Now, who wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, we have all leaned a very 9 lesson. No matter what I did to the 10 you still want it because it doesn't decrease in 11 . It is still worth $20, with 12 we can buy what we need.
Many times in our lives, we are 13 and trampled(踩)underfoot by the decision we 14 and the circumstances that come our way. We feel 15 we were worthless. But no matter what has happened or what may happen to us, you will never 16 your value. Dirty or clean, you are still priceless to those who do love you. The worth of our lives is determined not by 17 we do or who we know, but by who we are. You are 18 . Don't ever forget it."
If you 19 this lesson in mind, it will help you to 20 again when you fall. Each time it makes you grow much stronger.

Holding a newspaper with that day's 12 , he took a picture and sent it to his mother in order to 13 that he wasn't telling a lie.

During my lifetime, I've learnt something important: it's goodto learn new skills outside of your comfort zone. About seven years ago, I startedlearning how to paint as a 1 . I was pretty terrible. Everything looked 2 , and my colors were totally off. My friendsand colleagues suggested that I stop 3 mytime on something I wasn't good at. " 4 onyour day job," they said.
I kept at it — practicing, taking classes, finding the right 5 whocould guide and challenge me. I am now 6 "good".Today, the same friends say I was born with this 7 .
The same thing 8 whenI started piano and singing lessons a couple of years ago. Comments shifted from,"Stop wasting your time and focus on what you know," to "You've gota musical gene."
These 9 originatefrom long-held beliefs that growth is usually not possible for adults. Even whenthere is evidence of learning, it can be 10 toinborn talent. Most scientific studies on adulthood focus on cognitive (认知) decline, rather than 11 , suggesting that even scientists may thinkthat development is limited in adulthood.
A few recent studies suggest that 12 newskills, such as photography, for even three months may enhance the functioning ofthe brain in adults.
I would take these studies one step further to argue that a(n) 13 causeof cognitive decline is the fact that adults learn fewer new skills 14 tochildren. If we can 15 howto learn well as adults, then perhaps we can 16 cognitivedecline.
Adults are often 17 togo outside of their comfort zones. We fear looking 18 for making mistakes; we fear failure couldcost us our jobs. Perhaps a reason why we suffer from cognitive decline is thatwe do not engage in learning new skills for many years.
To better communicate with my German friends, I am starting tolearn German. I'm 19 atthe "listening and babbling (咿呀学语)" phase. Sure, some may laugh at anadult babbling, but I hope one day I can 20 Germanfluently, and inspire many other adults to learn like a baby.

19.Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
At the end of the First World War, in 1918. China was convinced it would be able to reclaim the territories occupied by the Germans in present-day Shandong Province. After all, it had fought along with the Allies. However it was not to be. The warlord government of the day had 1 struck a deal with the Japanese, offering the German colonies in return for financial support. The Allies, 2 , acknowledged Japan's territorial claims in China. When it became known in China in April 1919 that the negotiations over the Treaty of Versailles(凡尔赛条约)would not 3 China's claims, it gave rise to a movement that might be considered even more revolutionary than the one that ended the Empire.
some 5,000 students from Peking University hit the streets to 4 the Versailles Treaty. But more was at stake than Japan's grabbing of land. When one considers the 1911 Revolution as a mere regime(政体)change, it become clear that the numerous popular demands for modernization had not been satisfied yet.
The May Fourth Movement was part cultural revolution, part 5 movement. On the cultural side, the students had been inspired in the preceding two decades by Western thought, creating a feeling of frustration and 6 with Chinese tradition. In the intellectual ferment(酝酿/骚动)that resulted from this, answers were sought for the questions why and how China had lagged behind the West. The negative influences of traditional morality, the clan(宗族)system and Confucianism were seen as the main causes. China in its shaky state could only be cured by "Two Doctors": Doctor Science(赛先生)and Doctor Democracy(德先生).
At the same time, intellectuals untied in the New Culture Movement attempted to make Chinese culture more 7 to social groups beyond the traditional scholar-officials. To this end, they advocated a Literary Revolution, in which wenyan, the ossified(僵化的)system of 8 language, was to be replaced by a system based on conversational language, the so-called baihua. Hu Shi is one of the scholars who 9 with this movement, and meanwhile Lu Xun is seen as one of the most productive practitioners of this type of writing that came into 10 in the 1920s.
The social aspects of May Fourth consisted of attempts to free the Chinese woman, although this was often limited to movements to bring foot-binding to a halt. Nonetheless, in the cities newly 11 women, modern girls who had been educated, became a loud voice for further changes.
May Fourth is seen as a critical 12 for the founding of the Chinese Communist Party. Before 1919, there was hardly any interest in what was happening in Russia. After May Fourth, Marxism was seen as a 13 revolutionary ideology for a predominantly agricultural society such as China still was.
Even today, May Fourth functions as a point of 14 for China. The Party may interpret the events of 1919 as being brought about by its earliest members, and it may turn Lu Xun into the Marxist writer he would refuse to be, but the fact 15 that May Fourth truly set China on its revolutionary path.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,讲述了五四运动爆发的前因后果,阐述了五四运动的重大意义和深远影响。
(1)考查副词。句意:当时的军阀政府秘密地与日本人达成了一项协议。A. firmly“坚定地”;B. suddenly“突然地”;C. immediately“马上,立刻”;D. secretly“秘密地”。根据上文可知,一战快结束的时候,中国相信可以收回被德国占领山东省的殖民地。但是,这是不可能的。之前军阀政府和日本签署的协议将归属德国的殖民地转让给了日本,显然这个协议是“秘密”签署的,否则,中国不会认为自己可以收回归属德国的殖民地。故选D。
(2)考查介词短语。句意:另一方面,盟国承认日本对中国的领土要求。A. on the other hand“另一方面”;B. for instance“例如”;C. on the contrary“相反地”;D. with no exception“毫无例外”。该句和上一句并列,解释中国不可能收回德国占领的殖民地的两个原因。一方面,军阀政府已和日本达成秘密协议,将归属德国的殖民地转让给了日本。另一方面,盟国承认日本对中国的领土要求。故选A。
(3)考查动词。句意:《凡尔赛条约》的协议不会尊重中国的主张。A. challenge“挑战”; B. honor“尊重,给……荣誉”;C. withdraw“撤退”;D. investigate“挑战”。根据上文,盟国承认日本对中国的领土要求。由此推知,《凡尔赛条约》不尊重中国(收回德国占领的殖民地)的主张。故选B。
(4)考查动词短语。句意:在这场五四运动中,来自北京大学的大约5000名学生走上街头,反对凡尔赛条约。A. agree on“就……取得一致意见”; B. draw up“草拟”;C. demonstrate against“示威反对……”;D. adhere to“拥护,追随”。根据上文可知,《凡尔赛条约》侵害了中国的利益,因此,学生们会“示威游行”,反对《凡尔赛条约》。故选C。
(5)考查形容词。句意:五四运动一部分是文化大革命,一部分是社会运动。A. political“政治的”;B. democratic“民主的,大众的”;C. social“社会的,社交的”;D. revolutionary“革命的,大变革的”。根据下文“The social aspects of May Fourth consisted of attempts to free the Chinese woman”可知,五四运动一部分是“社会”运动。故选C。
(6)考查名词。句意:在文化方面,学生们在过去的二十年里受到了西方思想的启发,对中国传统产生了挫败感和不满的情绪。A. contentment“满足,满意”;B. dissatisfaction“不满意”;C. interconnection“互相关联”;D. identification“鉴定,识别”。该空和frustration(挫败,沮丧)并列,感情色彩应一致。结合选项,B选项切题。在西方思想的启发下,学生们对中国传统产生了“不满的”情绪。故选B。
(7)考查形容词。句意:与此同时,在新文化运动中得到解放的知识分子试图使中国文化被传统士大夫之外的社会群体所接受。A. accessible“易懂的,可接近的,可进入的”;B. modernized“现代化的”;C. complex“复杂的”;D. appealing“有吸引力的”。知识分子企图让传统士大夫之外的群体更容易“接受”,更容易“理解”中国文化。故选A。

(9)考查动词。句意:胡适是认同这一运动的学者之一,与此同时,鲁迅被认为是这种类型的写作中最多产的实践者之一。A. debated“辩论”; B. parted“分离”;C. disagreed“不同意”; D. identified“认同,鉴定,辨别”。结合常识可知,胡适倡导新文化运动,即:他“认同”新文化运动。且该句和后面鲁迅的例子是并列关系,感情色彩一致,由此也可以推知胡适是认同新文化运动的。故选D。
(10)考查名词。句意:鲁迅被认为是这种类型的写作中最多产的实践者之一,这种类型的写作形成于20世纪20年代。A. effect“影响”;B. being“存在,生物”;C. power“力量”;D. fortune“运气,财富”。根据第一段可知,五四运动爆发于1919年,在五四运动过程中,这种类型的写作形成了。come into being固定短语,“形成”,故选B。

(14)考查名词。句意:即使在今天,五四也是中国的一个参照点。A. departure“离开,出发”;B. difference“区别”;C. interest“兴趣”;D. reference“参考,参照”。根据该段最后一句“五四确实使中国走上了革命道路”可知,五四运动是中国的一个参照点。故选D。
