As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful.It was my twelfth year of dancing. I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness.However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (编舞者). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well.With the end of the year came our show time. As I went backstage, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement. I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda's expectations forme, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.As I walked up to the judge to receive my shining, gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought. Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion.4．What did the author think her dancing would be for the twelfth year?A．A change for the better.B．A disappointment as before.C．Proof of her potential.D．Pride of her teachers and friends.5．How did Shanda help the author?A．By offering her financial help.B．By entering her in a competition.C．By coaching her for longer hours.D．By awakening her passion for dancing.6．How did the author feel when she stepped on the stage?A．Proud. B．Nervous.C．Scared. D．Relieved.7．What can we learn from the author's story?A．Success lies in patience.B．Fame is a great thirst of the young.C．A good teacher matters.D．A youth is to be treated with respect.黄金考点语法填空——冠词练习1 单句语法填空＋阅读理解Ⅰ.单句语法填空(冠词)1．答案与解析：a 句意为：据说防火墙在爱护公司和人们的平安方面发挥着关键作用。

Because comfortable people’s worth comes from within, they see no point in tearing others down.To them, the only sensible way to speak about another is to be positive.I guess when you realize your worth comes from within, you might as well build others up rather than tear them down, since their size is of no threat to your sense of self­worth.Plus, it’s a lot more fun to speak love to others and watch their eyes glow than it is to hurt someone’s feelings for a cheap laugh, anyway.When we become comfortable with ourselves through fully accepting who we are, we can silence the noise our insecurities make in public situations and enjoy the wonderful reality that unfolds before us.The result is a world with fewer insecurities.To me, that sounds like a better world.5．Which of the following sayings best expresses the main idea of the passage?A．Actions speak louder than words.B．No pains, no gains.C．Luck favors those who are comfortable with who they are.D．Don’t claim to know what you don’t know.6．What does the underlined word “them〞 in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Insecurities.B．Open wounds.C．People who are comfortable with themselves.D．Threats.7．What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A．To give a vivid description of people who are comfortable with themselves.B．To ask people to make friends with people who are comfortable with themselves.C．To offer some practical advice on how to be a person who is comfortable with himself/herself.D．To appeal to people to be comfortable with themselves so that we can live in a better world.C(2021·辽宁大连双基测试)Whenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know that something will happen.This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell.But some buttons are actually fake(假的), like the “close〞 button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close〞 button because they don’t have the patience to wait.But lifts’“close〞 buttons are a complete trick, at least in the U．S.—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the U．S., making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely.Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the door closing process if they have special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless.According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important.It reduces stress and increases well ­being，〞 said Ellen J．Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University.Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their names either.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer­controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies〞， they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.8．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A． To describe different fake buttons.B．To explore the functions of fake buttons.C．To
