Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (路沟) along the highway I travel daily to work.
There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I"ve noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I"ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers.
Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty...” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel(钎) one year to be used for that expressed purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.”
A week ago we that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor(脑瘤晚期). She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked.
I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband"s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I’ll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

解析
试题分析：
小题1:根据倒数第四段“you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.””可知，作者喜欢那种蓝色的野花，但因为弄脏衣服而没有把它移到自己家的花园，当蓝花消失之后，作者后悔自己没有早点行动。作者再告诉我们“不要等到失去了才知道珍惜，要抓住每一个珍贵的机会”。故填Don’t Wait Until Flowers Fade (the Chance Lost) /Don’t Lose (Grasp) the Chance to Do What You Want to / Lost Chance Never Returns。
（评分要求：依据与文章整体内容的相关程度酌情给分，关键词wait/lose chance。题目格式自拟）
小题2:作者把蓝花和与作者丈夫姐姐得了脑瘤联系起来，根据倒数第四段“I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches”可知，得知作者丈夫的姐姐得了脑瘤，作者夫妇感到震惊，并因未能及时看望嫂子而感到遗憾，故填Were shocked and saddened to know / learn / hear。
（评分要求：要求给出的答案能保持上下文的连贯性，而且与参考答案的意思相近）
小题3:所给句子的意思是“我多么希望当时停下来把它们挖走啊，但始终没有那样做”。根据第四段“Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them.”可知，由于种种原因，作者没有把蓝色的花挖走。故填Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them.。
（评分要求：要求准确找出以上的句子）
小题4:can’t help but do sth情不自禁做某事，作者不由地由蓝花想到了丈夫姐姐得脑瘤这件事。故填：我禁不住由那些美丽的蓝花联想到我们与丈夫的姐姐之间的关系。
（评分要求：要求在准确、全面的基础上，翻译成较为通顺的汉语，并表达出作者的思路）
小题5:文章告诉我们一个这样的道理：机会是留给有准备的人的，我们应该抓住来之不易的机会去做想做的事情，而不应等到失去机会之后追悔莫及。故填We should grasp every chance to do what we want to instead of hesitation.。 |

James Dean came to Hollywood when he was eighteen, hoping to get into the movies. At first, he was not successful at all. Then he went to New York. He got a part in a play and was seen by the great director Elia Kazan. Kazan was planning the movie East of Eden and realized Dean would be perfect for one of the main roles.
By this time, Dean had already had a reputation and was difficult to work with. He then went back to Hollywood to make East of Eden and then made two more movies, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant. He almost always wore the same overcoat and jeans and he had hardly any friends at all. “If he didn’t like you, he wouldn’t even give you the pleasure of his anger. You could be in the same telephone booth with him, but you wouldn’t exist,” someone who knew him said later.
In spite of his poor eyesight, he loved driving fast motorcycles and even faster sports cars. A few days after he finished Giant, on September 25, 1955, Dean went for a drive in his new Porsche. It was evening and the light was poor. Dean was not wearing his glasses. Suddenly, he saw a car in front of him. It was slowing down and trying to turn off the highway. Dean tried to slow down too, but it was too late. He hit the car at high speed and was killed immediately.
A few years later, a New York salesclerk wrote a book called Jimmy Dean Returns in which she claimed that she was in contact with Dean from the other side of the grave. Half a million copies of the book were sold. It was only the beginning of a strange legend(传奇) that goes on, even today.

When we"re learning a foreign language, making sense of what we hear is the first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didn"t know much about how listening works. New research shows that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, it"s an active process of analysing information and making meaning.
Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategies that lead to excellent comprehension. In addition to that benefit, research has shown that learners who adopt these strategies become better listeners.
So what are listening strategies? Skilled learners go into a listening activity with a sense of what they want to get out of it. They set a goal for their listening, and they make predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins, they review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to “listen out for”what"s important. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They don"t allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what they don"t understand and later make inferences(推测)about what those things might mean, based on other clues available to them: their previous knowledge of the subject, the identity of the speaker, and so on. All the while, skilled learners are evaluating what they"re hearing and their own understanding of it. They"re checking their inferences to see if they"re correct.
Such strategies are all about thinking, and they produce a variety of benefits. Research indicates that such learners are better at analysing and storing new information, better at finding the best ways to practice what they have learned. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a traditional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half, dealing with the same skill level and taught by the same teacher, were given clear instruction on how to listen. In the journal Language Learning, Vandergrift reported the results: The second group “significantly outperformed(胜过)” the first one on a test of comprehension. In a 2006 study by researchers from Singapore, Chinese speakers who were learning English as a second language reported increased motivation and confidence after they were taught metacognitive strategies.
Though listening is often treated as a way to make others feel appreciated, it"s also one of the most powerful tools we have to gain information and insight(洞察力).

〔1〕There are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one’s English language vocabulary.
〔2〕Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions and “word combinations”, which means groups of words that often or always go together.
〔3〕Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context （上下文）, the more words one is exposed to（接触）, The easier one will find English to learn . Keep a writing pad close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context. Then_______________________ in a dictionary.
〔4〕Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.

1 A flood is the overflow of a huge amount of water onto normally dry land. Flooding occurs when the overflowing water submerges (淹没) land, and it causes a lot of problems. It is a cruel and violent expression of water.
2 Floods are often deadly and damaging. They kill lots of people, damage houses and crops, and cause extensive destruction. In broader terms, floods are of two types: natural floods and catastrophic floods. Natural floods are the floods that are caused naturally by the overflow of a huge volume of water, from rivers, lakes, oceans, or by heavy rain or downpours, hurricanes, and so on. Catastrophic floods are floods that are caused by some significant (重大的) or unexpected events, for instance, dam breakages.
3 Heavy rainfall is one of the major causes of floods. The level of water in rivers or lakes rises due to heavy rainfall. When the level of water rises above the river banks or dam, the water starts overflowing, which causes floods. Floods occur more in the regions that ____________.
4 Floods are also caused due to heavy snow melting. Global temperatures are rising due to global warming. The rising temperatures are making the snow caps melt faster. Continuous and fast melting snow raises the level of water in the oceans, which consequently raises the level of water in rivers, and when the level of water in rivers rises above the river banks, it causes floods.
5 Generally, floods occur more in low-lying areas or areas below sea level. One of the main reasons is that rivers flow slowly in these areas. The volume of water increases in low-lying areas. When the level of water rises in these regions, it causes floods.
6 Sometimes floods are caused due to poor dams that cannot hold great volume of water. Therefore, there are always different causes of floods. However, floods caused by humans can be avoided. Humans should let the nature go its own way.
