Question

A friend wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He felt  ___________ at the time. He  ___________  his letter with this question: "We can't really change this crazy world we live in, can we? "I  _________  to him and started my own letter with these words: "Yes, we most certainly can!" I can still remember someone who changed my world. She was the  _________  teacher at my primary school. I liked her music class and I wanted to impress(给…留下印象) her.  ___________, I didn't know how to play any instruments.

One day, she let me try playing her guitar. I did my best, but could only stumble along(断断续 续地弹奏). When I finished playing, I put my  _________ down. "I guess I am not very good." I told her. She looked at me with her  _________ eyes, smiled at me and said, "We are all good at something. You just need to find out  _________ you are good at. Then, you can share it with the world."___________ simple words changed me. They  __________  a seed(种子) in my heart that continues to grow to this day. They made me realize that I had something good inside of me. I just had to find it and share it.

Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it through one choice, one person or one kind act at a time.  ____________  you have to do is to share your goodness.

【解析】

作者的朋友来信告知他自己的失落和不顺，然后作者通过自己的经历告诉朋友，我们每个人都可以通过自己的闪光点来改变这个世界，让这个世界变得更美好。

1.句意：那时他感到很绝望。A. glad高兴的；B. homeless无家可归的；C. hopeful抱有希望的；D. hopeless绝望的。根据后面的句子“We can't really change this crazy world we live in, can we?” (我们真的不能改变我们生活的这个疯狂世界，对吧？)可知，作者的朋友对现实感到很绝望，故答案为D。

2.句意：他用一个问题结束了他的信：“我们真的不能改变我们生活的这个疯狂世界，对吧？” A. posted张贴，邮寄；B. ended结束；C. added添加；D. continued继续。根据I 3 to him and started my own letter with these words: "Yes, we most certainly can!"可知，作者的朋友在书信的末尾向作者提出了一个问题，故答案为B。

3.句意：我给他进行了回复，并用这些话开始了我自己的信“不，我们当然可以改变！” A. replied回复；B. answered回答；C. said说，注重说话的内容；D. phoned打电话。reply to sb.给某人回复，此处指回信，故答案为A。

4.句意：她是我小学的音乐老师。A. math数学；B. Chinese汉语；C. English英语；D. music音乐。根据后面的句子“I liked her music class and I wanted to impress(给…留下印象) her.”可知，此处指作者的音乐老师，故答案为D。

5.句意：然而，我不知道如何演奏乐器。A. But但是；B. Luckily幸运地；C. However然而，无论如何；D. Especially尤其地。however与but 两者都做“但是，然而”讲，从语义上看，but所表示的是非常明显的对比，转折的意味比however要强。从语序上看，but总是位于所引出的分句之首，而however却可位于句首、句中和句末，同时从标点符号上看，but之后一般不得使用逗号，而however则必须用逗号与句子其它部分分开。故答案为C。

6.句意：我低下了头。A. head头；B. hand手；C. face脸；D. fingers手指。根据前后的句子I did my best, but could only stumble along(断断续续地弹奏). "I guess I am not very good."可知，作者认为自己吉他弹的不怎么样，惭愧地低下头，故答案为A。

7.句意：她用慈祥的目光看着我。A. tired疲劳的；B. kind善良的；C. sad悲伤的；D. quiet安静的。根据后面的句子“smiled at me and said,”老师向着作者微笑，可以判断老师的目光中充满了友善与慈祥，故答案为B。

8.句意：你只需要知道你擅长什么。A. that那个；B. whose谁的；C. what什么；D. why为什么。此句是宾语从句，宾语从句的连接词在从句中作be good at的宾语，that作为宾语从句的连接词，不作任何成分，whose作定语，why作状语，只有what可以用作宾语，故答案为C。

9.句意：那些简单的话改变了我。A. This这个；B. That那个；C. His他的；D. Those那些。words为名词复数形式，this/that均不能修饰复数名词，作者的老师是一名女教师，his也不符合题意，故答案为D。

10.句意：他们在我的心里种下了一颗种子，持续生长到今天。A. harvested收获；B. fed饲养；C. planted种植；D. watered浇水。动词的宾语为a seed，因此谓语动词为planted，答案为C。

11.句意：你所要做的就是分享你的善良。A. Both两者都；B. All全部的；C. Nothing没有什么东西；D. Either两者中任一个。此句是一个主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，All you have to do=What you have to do你要做的。All充当do的宾语，故答案为B。

12.句意：上帝不要求我们做伟大的事情，而是拥有大爱的小事情。A. great伟大的，杰出的；B. small小的；C. good好的；D. bad坏的。根据后面的句子“but small things with great love”可知，与small向对应的是great，故答案为A。
