【2014淮安】Years ago, while I lived in Engand, part of my college task was to help the children with special needs.I was chosen to 16 in a school with disabled children. The teacher asked me to 17 Nancy, a ten-year-old girl. One of 18 hands could not move. At her school the teachers would think it was an achievement 19 she was able to put on her own coat. But I saw more in her. She had always wanted to put a string 20 the hole of a key.

For the 5 years Nancy was in the school, the teachers always 21 to help her, but always ended up doing all the work for her. I knew Nancy could do 22 , so I encouraged her to do something herself. At first Nancy often failed and got very 23 . Sometimes I wanted to give up too. 24 , after a week Nancy was able to do 25 she had wanted to alone for so many years. Her teachers cried 26 when they saw the thing she was able to do with just some encouragement.

Disabled people should 27 be told they can’t do this or that. With just some encouragement they can do it. The look 28 that girl’s face when she was able to do it herself meant 29 to me I hope everyone will encourage people to do all they want by themselves 30 telling them they can’t do it. 16. A. read

【2014盐城】阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

The Other Side of the Wall

There was a young woman who took great pride in her flower garden. She was raised by her grandmother who taught her to love and 16 for flowers. So her flower garden was the best.

One day, while she was looking through a flower list she often 17 from, a picture of a plant caught her eyes. She had never 18 blooms(花) on a flower like that before. “I have to have it,” she said to herself, and she 19 ordered it.

When it arrived, she already had a 20 prepared to plant it. She planted it at the back of her yard. It grew well, with beautiful green leaves all over it, 21 there were no blooms. Day after day she continued to water it, feed it, and she even talked to it trying to make it bloom. However, it was 22 .

One morning weeks later, when standing before the vine, she felt very 23 that her plant had not bloomed. She was giving thought to 24 it down and planting something else in its place.

It was at this point that her neighbor, whose 25 joined hers, called over to her. “Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how much I have 26 the blooms of that vine you planted.” The young woman walked 27 the gate into her neighbor’s yard, and sure enough, she saw that on the other side of the wall the vine was 28 with blooms.

There were indeed the most beautiful blooms she had 29 seen. The vine had grown through the crevices(缝隙) and it had not flowered on 30 side of the wall, but it had flowered on the other side.

Sometimes one may not see the good result of his effort, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t successful. 16. A. look

B. care

C. search

D.
