More often than not, life has its own way of tapping us on the shoulder, whispering “Pay attention to this”, which happens when we 21 expect it.

In the 1950s, I spent my days as a sixth grader in my school. One day, as I remembered, classes

22 with the usual noise made by voices and feet 23 students moved down the hall, up or down staircases. I was walking through the hallway at a rapid pace toward a large double stairway, which 24 the second and third floor of our building. Suddenly I noticed a new sound added to those already 25 me.

As I 26 the bottom of the stairway, I found Rochelle, a girl, who wore full leg braces(支架) and heavy orthopedic(矫形) shoes, made her way across a wooden-floored room. 27 she went, Rochelle 28 us of her serious polio(小儿麻痹症) a few years earlier.

Rochelle’s eyes were such deep 29 ones. She had a small, upturned nose and a wide mouth that smiled more often than not.

As Rochelle moved faster and faster, she lost balance, and 30 face down at the top of the stairway. 31 stretched to help her, but one word from Rochelle 32 them. “No!” she said. I watched her, 33 . Rochelle lifted her head, her eyes with unshed tears.

If Rochelle were alive today, she would probably still wear her braces or may 39 spend her days in a wheelchair, but I feel certain that her spirit is unchanged. She would be 40 likely to continue to teach life’s little lesson to a great many others, in her own quiet way.

第二部分 阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

Whether you like it or not, I consider myself an honored member of East Asian society.

For the past 2 years, I’ve had the privilege of travelling to various countries in Asia, specifically Indonesia and China. These trips weren’t the typical vacations that last for roughly two weeks and consist of hurrying from one destination to the next. Rather, I completely buried myself in the culture, staying in both Indonesia and China for?approximately?6 weeks. I befriended the man who made my breakfast every day in Beijing.

After two continuous years of escaping to the Eastern Hemisphere, however, I’m staying at home.

Every day, I long for the thrill of travelling, the thrill of trying a new Asian dish, the thrill of bargaining with a vendor(小商贩) on the street for what caught my eye. I catch myself watching hours Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, and replaying the parts where he visits a small town in China or a quiet village deep in Vietnam. Occasionally, I go through the pictures from my travels, thinking of the ones where my memories origin from.

My desire to travel, in fact, makes me incredibly impulsive. One day, I was watching my old friend Andrew Zimmern travel to Cambodia. I watched him taste the special foods and float down a large man-made lake, staying with locals trying to find dinner. The second the show ended, I ran upstairs to my computer and looked up plane tickets to Phnom Penh. It’s pitiful, I know.

I apologize for this unhappy story that’s been a good portion of my article. Let me try to?turn?things around.

Though I’m upset about not being able to travel for the summer, staying in place does have its ups. I graduated from high school just recently. As I walked across the stage, reaching out for my high school principal’s hand with my right and taking my?diploma?with my left, I graduated. As I walked across the stage, suddenly, I realized I had just wrapped up one of the most important stages in my life. I was soon entering the real world, but I had one last summer that see-sawed in between the real world and the world my peers and I had just left. I had one last summer to make memories with high school friends that I would recall during old age.

Additionally, I am pleased to say I have found a job this summer. I work at the Seneca Hill Animal Hospital and Resort where I look after dogs whose owners have left for summer vacation. The work may be hard, but at least it paid off.

All in all, life at home so far has not been all that difficult. I’m spending time with old friends, and earning for myself, two things that could not be done outside the US. Although I would have wanted to spend the summer in a magical land with foreign foods, languages, and people, I have to realize that life is what you make of it. That’s why I’m going to make my time at home the best vacation I’ve ever had.

41. According to the writer, a typical vacation is one ________.

A. that lasts about a fortnight during which you hurry between destinations

B. where you stay in some place for seven weeks

C. where you can stay in East Asia

D. where you needn’t hurry between destinations

42. The writer gives the example of Andrew Zimmern in Paragraph 4 to ________.

A. explain his tiredness of trips to foreign countries

B. express his disappointment with his friends’ holiday

C. share with us his eagerness for trips

D. display his skills of taking photos

43. The underlined phrase “wrapped up” in paragraph 7 has a similar meaning to that in _______.

A. He received his Christmas gift wrapped up in a box

B. The meeting wrapped
