题型:不详难度:来源:
I prefer the stories about the swimmers at the Beijing Olympics,one of which is about Zakia Nassar. She"s a 21-year-old Palestinian __21__ Bethlehem studying dentistry in Jenin. Having had neither a __22__ nor a chance to an Olympic-sized pool in the past year, she had no choice but to __23__ on her own at a 12m public pool.
There is a 50-meter __24__ in nearby Nazareth, but the Israeli government did not __25__ her to use it.
Nassar was __26__ to training only when she returned to her parents" home in Bethlehem, __27__ she did so only about every two months for two days or so. __28__ the pool is only 12 meters long.
“My parents and friends always __29__ me, reminding me that I had to keep training if I __30  wanted to go to the Olympics,” she said.
It was only when Nassar __31__ China a month ago that she finally got the opportunity to swim in a 50m pool and enjoyed the __32__ of having a coach.
When she at last took part in the Games, she swam the 50m in 31.97 seconds, a(n) __33__ of seven seconds on her personal __34__. Nassar said it was the most beautiful moment of her life.
She will not __35__ on the cover of Time magazine or __36__ millions of dollars in endorsements(捐款), but she can always say she won a race at the Olympics. For her, it wasn’t about __37__ the other swimmers or winning a prize, but about __38__ her own goal, __39__ difficult. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of her. Then I realize how __40__ the task before me really is.

Doris Lessing was born in 1919 in Persia, moving as a child with her family to southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where she stayed in school only to the age of 14.
A year after moving to London, she published her first novel in 1950. The Grass is Singing examines unbridgeable racial conflict in colonial Africa through the eyes of a white farmer"s wife and her black servant.
Her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with publication of The Golden Notebook, seen by many, though not necessarily Lessing, as a pioneering work of modern feminism(女权运动). A disjointed study of the mind of the main character, Anna Wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about Africa, politics, relationships with men and sex, and Jungian analysis and dream interpretation.
Lessing"s themes changed to psychology in her works from the 1960s, and by the 1970s she was interested in the Islamic mystic tradition of Sufism(苏菲教派). Her turn toward science fiction with the Canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditional critics, but she has continued to be popular with new readers and numerous literary awards, including the David Cohen British Literary Prize and the Companion of Honour from the Royal Society of Literature, both in 2001.
Following the announcement, the Horace Engdahl told VOA why he was personally so pleased with Lessing"s selection.
“She is one of the truly great writers -- of novels, short stories, fiction and non-fiction,” Engdahl said. “She is one of the few writers who have had the courage to uphold the principle of equality between the male and female experience, and she has given the impulse to numbers of other women writers. And she is really the mother of a school that is one of the most important in our contemporary literature.”
At 87, Doris Lessing is the oldest Nobel Literature winner since the first prizes were awarded in 1901.

I lived next door to Debbie and her 84-year-old mother, Nan, for about six months. One night last summer, Debbie asked me to check on her mother because she worked the overnight shift (夜班) at a nursing home.
I was glad to help. But I   1   felt a little funny about it.   2   , I’ve been blind since I was a baby and out of   3   for years. In fact, at 54, I came to wonder if I had any   4   to live.
A bit after 9:00 pm, I heard a sound—over the years my ears have grown super  5   . It was Nan. “Jim, Jim. The house is   6   ! Help!”
I went as far as I could to Debbie’s. I got to the front door,   7  for the key and unlocked the door. “Nan! Where are you?” I called.
“Here, Jim. Help!” her voice was  8   and low.
I felt my   9   inside. “Nan, where are you? Keep   10 !” “Here, Jim, here!” sounds as if she’s    11   in front of me. I reached out and touched her shoulder. We felt our way down the steps. ___12____ in the sweet, fresh summer air.
Later the fire truck arrived. Debbie came too. Nan and I heard the sound of the   13   coming down. Finally, the firefighters   14   the fire.
I heard Nan crying. She said, “I was so   15   and got turned around. I couldn’t find the door. You saved my life.”
Now Debbie’s voice quivered (发抖), “You’re a hero. You rescued my mom.”
I hardly knew what to say. Two hours earlier I was wondering whether I really mattered to anyone. And now I saved a life. Nan and Debbie were thanking me. Truth was, I wanted to thank them. Nan wasn’t the only one who had been saved that day.

When her wandering eyes rested on the picture of a young man, she   48 up, looking thunderstruck. Just then, the boy came with his   49 . The man at once recognized the woman as his   50 . They had   51  touch with each other during the war, and he thought he had lost her forever.

Just not a long time ago did I finish my blog about the unforgettable snowy storm that I had on Monday night in November. I got another big   36  in Seattle again. But this time, it"s not snow, but the wind and rain. I have   37  seen such a strong wind before even though I had    38  the typhoon every summer when I was still in my home country.
That    39  storm was so powerful that it    40  the whole big Seattle area out of    41  . 700,000 people had no electricity, and    42  13 people have died. Seattle is famous for its evergreen trees, but those trees made a big   43  this time. They broke down the power line above the ground,  44  the road and streets, and    45  the houses.
As the last storm was still   46  in my mind, I had another personal   47  about this new storm.   48  , this time, it was not good either. I was    49  to have my TOEFL test on the second day of the stormy night. Since the whole city had no electricity, my test had to be    50  off, and I had to prepare for another one later. It was my last test for the   51   , and I already made a plan for the time after the test, but now    52  is changed.
I guess sometimes, the way that the thing    53  is not always what you    54  . And what I can do now is to fit for it.   55  , we got a free hotel room from my husband"s cousin and met my lovely nephew from San Francisco.
