When I became an amputee (截肢患者) at age 29, I was forced to rethink the idea of physical perfection. My life became different, as I changed from an acceptably attractive
26 as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.
All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to 27 my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers 28 held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying, “God Bless You!” with 29 in their eyes.
While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed 30 at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look, she innocently asked, “Lady, where did your legs go?”
I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn’t been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to 31 them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to ‘Leg Heaven’?”
That incident made me think about how 32 children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a 33 learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror. I began to realize that, I, too had been 34 of the same inappropriate reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.
To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye contact, and speak in a confident manner. By using a 35 approach, I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesn’t mean having a poor quality of life.

四、阅读理解
In my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.
Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.
From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.
Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive he Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph.D．degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.

Have you ever dreamed of having a fashionable watch of great value?
A small watchmaker in Switzerland in 1922 designed the first automatic watch to show day, month, and date.

crocodile design on it. To get a watch in such a perfect design means to get a chance to know a piece watch-making history and to wear such a watch will show your personal taste and social posit
You can get the watch either in person or by mail at an affordable price. You will also red good service from the watch seller. If you are not satisfied with the watch after you get it, you simply return it within 30 days. Don’t miss the chance to realize your dream.

How to Become a Scientist
Here is some advice for students who think they might like to become scientists.
Become an observer. One of the most important things you can do to become a good scientist is to practice watching everything carefully. Find a comfortable chair and put it in the middle of your garden or a park. Sit in the chair for thirty minutes or an hour. Watch the insects that fly past or land on the plants. Look at the shapes of leaves and branches. Listen to the sounds of insects. 43 Use a microscope to look closely at interesting objects.
Learn everything you can about a topic that interests you. Suppose you’d like to explore flowers by using a microscope. Go to the library and check out some flower books. See what you can find on the Internet. Pick some flowers and carefully take them apart. 44 The more you know about flowers from reading about them and observing them, the more you’ll understand when you look at them with a microscope.
Ask for help from a knowledgeable person. After you’ve learned everything you can on your own, ask someone else to help with questions you still have. Maybe there’s someone at a
nearby school or museum who knows about insects, spiders, or something else you’d like to learn about. 45
Find a scientist to talk to or find a place where scientific research is being done. If you still want to learn more, you can find a scientist to talk to at a nearby university, or research station. 46 Explain what you’re interested in. Ask if you can schedule a time to visit. Most scientists are happy to talk to students who share their passion for science.
A．You may go to seek answers from him.
B．Write a letter or an e-mail message to the scientist.
C．Research your questions using the Internet or library.
D．See if you can find a sight or sound that surprises you.
E．Use a microscope to see how everything fits together.
F．Being a scientist is time-consuming and mentally demanding.
五、翻译
47．四周树木葱郁，人就会精力充沛。

(surround，energy) (汉译英)
48．这一切都归功于你自己的努力。

(owe) (汉译英)
49．这个活动由四个不同的部分组成，需要大约100名志愿者。

（consist）（汉译英）50．专家指出，错误的语言观会对语言学习产生负面影响。

(impact n.)(汉译英)
51．尽管存在性别不平等，富兰克林(Franklin)没有丧失信心，而是直面每一个挑战，以成为一个科学家(Despite)(汉译英)
六、书信写作

【详解】考查句子结构。

根据句意可知，本句应用一般将来时，描述将会发生的事情。

表示“人就会精力充沛”为people will be full of energy，be full of“充满”是固定搭配，不可数名词energy作介词宾语；表示“四周树木葱郁”为surrounded by lush trees，动词surround和主语之间是被动关系，故用其过去分词作状语，状语可置于句首。
