Although plantings that year may have fallen below the original __18__ and they probably will do so again in the future, I am __19__ encouraged by the crop that had a “good” __20__ during the drought.

语篇解读：本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己在干旱的夏天种植玉米的经历体会到读懂生活的常态需要时间和阅历，也正是这样才练就了作者面对未来荣辱不惊的生活态度，同时作者也向我们介绍了其深信不疑的“对半理论”。

1．A.worse B．easier

C．stranger D．brighter

解析：选A 根据空前的“Half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they are”及下文作者阐述的“对半理论”可知，生活中的事情一半比正常状态要好，

而另一半则比正常状态差。故空处应填worse与better构成对比。

2．A.give out B．take down

C．deal with D．go through

解析：选C 根据上文及下文作者对自己种玉米经历的描述可知，此处作者想要传达的是面对时好时坏的生活，需要时间和阅历读懂生活的常态，这样才能应对未来各种意想不到的事情。deal with“应对，处理”符合语境。give out“分发，发出”；take down“拆掉，记下”；go through“通过，经历”。

3．A.slightly B．regularly

C．magically D．deliberately

解析：选C 根据上文中的“But there is vast grassland of life in the middle, where the bad and the good flip­flop(突然改变)”及下文作者描述的自己种玉米的经历可知，好与坏之间有一大片生活的草原，在这片草原上坏事和好事会奇妙地突然改变。magically“魔力般地，奇妙地”符合语境。slightly“轻微地”；regularly“定时地”；deliberately“故意地”。

4．A.break through B．believe in

C．check on D．pick up

解析：选B 根据上文，尤其是“Life is a clock swing. Half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they are __1__.”可知，作者对“对半理论”深信不疑。believe in“信任，相信”符合语境。break through“打破”；check on“核对，检查”；pick up“捡起，学会”。

5．A.stole B．ignored

C．replaced D．flooded

解析：选D 根据上文中的“a bottomland (低洼地) so easily”和下文中的“and the lack of rain __16__ the standing corn from floods”可知，作者因在极易遭到水淹的低洼地种植玉米而遭到了邻居们的嘲笑。

6．A.annoyed B．puzzled

C．surprised D．embarrassed

解析：选A 根据上文中的“I planted corn too early in a bottomland (低洼地) so easily __5__ that neighbors laughed.”和下文中的“the wasted effort”可知，作者为自己浪费了精力而感到懊恼。annoyed“烦恼的，恼火的”符合语境。embarrassed“尴尬的”。

7．A.wind speed B．flood warning
