When I was just 20 months old, I suffered serious 13 after a bowl full of hot oil fell on my head. I was 14 to hospital and had to stay there for weeks while the doctors 15 to save my life. "Holly"s very 16 to be alive," they told Mum and Dad. "But she"ll be 17 with scars on her head, and of course her hair won"t grow there."
As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I 18 wore a scarf to cover them up when I left home. 19 I didn"t, people would call me horrible names like Baldy. Although my friends were always comforting me, they never 20 understood how it felt.
Then through the hospital I was 21 to a children"s burns camp, where children like me can get any help. There, I 22 14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious than mine. But she is so 23 that she never lets anyone put her down. "You shouldn"t 24 what people say about what you look like because we"re not different from anyone else, Holly," she 25 me. "And you don"t need to wear a scarf because you look great 26 it!" For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who"d been through something 27 . So weeks later, at my 13th birthday party, 28 by her bravery, I gave up my scarf and showed off my scars. It felt amazing not having to 29 away behind my scarf.
Now, I am 30 of what I look like and much happier, because I have realized it is your personality（个性）that decides who you truly are.

解析
【文章大意】：本文属于记叙文，讲诉作者小时候被油烫伤而在头部留下疤痕，其他人以此经常嘲笑侮辱他，因此作者就用围巾掩饰自己的疤痕，直到他遇见Stephanie，一个烧伤远比作者严重的女孩。这个女孩鼓励作者，在她的鼓励之下，作者终于解下围巾，勇于向他人展示自己的疤痕，作者因此也获得了很多东西。
小题1:句意：由于头上的疤痕，即使我已经习惯了经常性的侮辱，但是听到这个称呼（光头佬）仍然很可怕。根据下文，第二段最后一句But she"ll be left with scars on her head, and of course her hair won"t grow there.可以得出本题答案scars（疤痕）。Scarf（围巾）；cut（伤口，切口）。
小题2:句意：由于头上的疤痕，即使我已经习惯了经常性的侮辱，但是听到这个称呼（光头佬）仍然很可怕。根据该句even though可以得出本题答案为still（仍然）。Just（仅仅；刚）；seldom（很少）。
小题3:句意：当我20个月大的时候，一碗滚烫的热油掉下来，淋在我的头上，造成严重灼伤。根据本句中after a bowl full of hot oil fell on my head.可以得出本题答案为burn（灼伤）。Hunger（饥饿）；cold（寒冷；感冒）；defeat（失败；战胜）。
小题4:句意：我的父母急忙把我带去医院，并且住院几周，医生们努力拯救我的生命。根据语境，可以得出父母很匆忙地带作者去医院，因此rush（匆忙）可以更好的表达意思。Invite（邀请）；force（强迫）。
小题5:句意：医生们努力拯救我的生命。Fight to do sth 努力做某事。Learn to do sth 学做某事；return归还；decide to do sth 决定做某事。根据该句可以得出选项fought。
小题6:句意：Holly活着还是很幸运的。根据本段下一句But she"ll be left with scars on her head, and of course her hair won"t grow there.可以得出本题答案lucky。Happy（愉快的）；lonely（孤独的）；poor（贫穷的；可怜的）。
小题7:句意：但是他头部会留下疤痕，当然，灼伤部分不可能长头发。Leave （遗留）；press（按，压；新闻）;occupy(占据)；paint （画画）。根据本句可以得出本题答案。
小题8:句意：孩子的时候，我很关心我头上的疤痕。每次外出的时候，我通常会戴围巾遮蔽这些疤痕。根据本句I cared much about my scars, so可以得出本题答案usually。Possibly可能地；finally最终；nearly几乎，将近。
小题9:句意：如果我没戴围巾的话，其他人会叫我很难听的名字，例如光头佬。根据本句的主句people would call me horrible names like Baldy.，可以得出本句为条件状语从句，故用if。Although 尽管；since既然，因为；before在。。。之前。
小题10:句意：尽管朋友们总是在安慰我，但是他们绝不真正的理解这种感受。根据本句although可以得出本题答案为really。Correctly正确地；roughly大概；easily容易地。
小题11:句意：通过医院，我被介绍到一家儿童烧伤营，在那里，向我这样的孩子可以得到一些帮助。通过后文There, I met 14-year-old Stephanie可以得出本题答案为introduced。Promote：促销；升职；carry搬运；report 报道。
小题12:句意：在那里我遇到一个14岁的女孩Stephanie，她的烧伤远比我的严重。通过后文she is so strong that she never lets anyone put her down.可以得出作者在那里遇见了这个女孩。Recognise认出；remember记住；catch抓住。
小题13:句意：她是如此得强大以至于绝不会让其他人制服自己。通过后面一句You shouldn"t listen to what people say about what you look like because we"re not different from anyone else可以得出这个女孩很强大，故选strong。Honest诚实的；active积极的，活跃的；young年轻的。另外put down 放下，贬低。
小题14:句意：你不应该听别人对你外貌的评价，因为我们跟别人没有什么不同。根据该句的后一句she encouraged me. 可以得出这个女孩在鼓励作者，故用listen to 听。Write down 写下，记下；pass on 传递；agree with同意，使。。。适应。
小题15:句意：她这样鼓励我。通过上一句You shouldn"t listen to what people say about what you look like because we"re not different from anyone else可以得出本题答案选encourage。Promise承诺；order命令，预定；calm平静，冷静。
小题16:句意：你不必戴围巾，因为你不戴围巾的话，看上去很棒的。通过后文可以得知女孩鼓励作者脱下围巾，因此选without。In在。。。里，用；for为了，因为，支持；beyond超越。
小题17:句意：这是我生命里的第一次，我可以与我有着相似经历的人交谈。根据本句for the first time in my life以及前文Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious than mine.可以得知本题答案为similar。Similar相似的；strange奇怪的；hard努力的，困难的；important重要的。
小题18:句意：因此，几周之后，在我13岁生日派对上，受Stephanie的启发，我脱下围巾，露出疤痕。由于前文女孩鼓舞作者，因此作者受到启发，故选inspire。Allow允许；require需要；guide指导。
小题19:句意：没有用围巾遮蔽疤痕的感觉真是好极了。根据前一句I gave up my scarf and showed off my scars可以得知选hide。Hide away 隐藏，避匿；give away赠送，分发，放弃；put away把。。。放一边，储存；keep away 远离。
小题20:句意：现在，我不再为我的外貌而自卑，因此更快乐，因为我知道这就是决定了你最真实的自己的个性。根据前文可以得知，作者勇于展示自己的疤痕，不再自卑，因而选proud。Be proud of 为。。。自豪；be aware of 知道，意识到；be sick of 讨厌，厌烦；be tired of 厌倦。

Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they"d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves. "Everything went quiet in my head," Tim recalls(回忆). "I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line."
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. "At one point, I considered turning back," he says. "I wondered if I was putting my life at risk." After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, "Take down the umbrella!" Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
"Let"s aim for the pier(码头)," Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. "Can you guys swim?" he cried. "A little bit," the boys said. Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swan toward land as water washed over the boys" faces.

It is believed that James McCormick got about $77.8 million from the sales of his detectors - which were based on a kind of golf ball finder - to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
"Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people," Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. "you have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt."
The detectors, sold for up to $42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they "lacked any grounding in science" and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
"I never had any had results from customers," he said.

| A．increased the cost of safeguarding |
| B．lowered people"s guard against danger |
| C．changed people"s idea of social security |
| D．caused innocent people to commit crimes |
| A．They have not been sold to Africa. |
| B．They have caused many serious problems. |
| C．They can find dangerous objects in water. |
| D．They don"t function on the basis of science. |

| B．was well-known in most countries |
| C．did not think he had committed the crime |
| D．had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text |

He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.’’ I thought it could be just about anything. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more ，and caught up in the business of our new life ，I eventually forgot about his surprise.
Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window，I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花）throughout the front lawn 一 blue, yellow and my favorite pink ，with little faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?
My father’s crocuses bloomed (开花）each spring for the next five seasons, always bringing the same assurance： Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon.
Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses ，so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.
On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual — my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of melting snow ，bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.
How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadn’t bloomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.
Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.
