Stagehand Superstar
Every kid wanted to play the Big Bad Wolf, but not Stella. Sure, the Big Bad Wolf got to yell, “I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow our house in!” But Stella knew who really brought the house down— the stagehand (舞台工作人员)!
Stella was wearing all black. She quickly, but 65 ,put the houses and trees onto the dark stage. She stayed behind the cardboard tree between the straw house and the stick house. The stage lights turned on.
“Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” Brad, the wolf, shouted. He pretended to knock on the straw house. 66 the house was really just painted cloth, Stella knocked loudly on the floor.
After Brad’s biggest puff, Stella made the cardboard tree fall down, followed by the straw house. The audience cheered. The wolf -- but really Stella—easily made the stick house fall down, too.
But no amount of huffing and puffing would make that brick house move. “I’ll sneak down the chimney and get those piggies!” Brad growled in a stage whisper (耳语) loud enough for the whole audience to hear. Brad climbed up a ladder behind the set. From the front, it looked like he was on the chimney.
Paige, the pig, cried out, “Let’s build a fire to scare away that mean old wolf!” Real fire would be too dangerous. That’s 67 they needed Stella. Paige knelt beside the fireplace. Stella turned on a red light and fan. Glowing tissue paper strips rose up from the cardboard logs (木柴). Someone in the audience gasped (倒吸气). The fake fire looked very 68 indeed.
“My tail!” Brad howled. He climbed down the ladder and ran away. The pigs high-fived. The triumphant (胜利的) music played. The actors lined up and bowed. The crowd burst into applause (掌声)and jumped to their feet.
Stella stayed 69 , but she knew the applause was for her, too. Stella had played her part SO perfectly that the audience 70 knew she was there. They just enjoyed the magic of the theater. But Stella, the stagehand, was the one making that magic.
65. A. gently B. safely C. suddenly D. quietly
66. A. If B. Since C. Though D. Unless
67. A. how B. when C. where D. why
68. A. real B. hot C. exciting D. funny
69. A. connected B. focused C. hidden D. relaxed
70. A. always B. never C. often D. sometimes
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words s(在短文的空格内填入适当的词，是其内容通顺，每空格限填一次，首字母已给)
Many students complain about this: they try not to hurt others’ feelings by telling white lies, but the result sometimes turns out to be quite the opposite. Dr. Jones, your school counselor, explains to students that telling white lies can lead to t 71 .
“Oh, what a tangled(缠结的,复杂的)web we weave (编织),when first we practice to cheat.” The sentence shows how, when someone is trying to stop one lie from being discovered, more lies are c 72 . That is why I think lying, even in its little-white-lie form, should not be done at all. I know it sound like an impossible thing to ask for, especially considering how often people lie, but it something that we should all try to do.
A study shows that people would much rather tell a white lie to a 73 embarrassing situation, whether it is telling someone that the dress looks “unique” or not telling the boss that something might be wrong. While you might think you are saving yourself from an embarrassing situation, you might only be prolonging (延长) it or making it w 74 for the person you are lying to and for yourself later on.
I do understand why people lie, and I admit I have told some white lies, too. At that time, I find a lie easier to say than the truth, and I might even think that it’s better for the person not to know the whole truth. But most of the time it turns out not to be the case, and I just feel bad doing it—especially when the lie w 75 not only myself but also people who count on me to tell them the truth, like my friends or colleagues.
When it comes to the people I care about, I learned a long time ago that it is OK to tell them the truth, and I have peace of mind for saying the truth instead of telling a lie that could more than likely lead to another one.
Lying is a bad h 76 . If you want to stop telling lies, even if it’s just the little ones, it is something that needs to be worked on and can only be done if you really want it. For me, a person’s reaction (反应) from when they find out I’ve lied to them is what stops me in the first place. I would rather someone be upset at me for telling the truth than being c 77 later for telling a lie.
D. Read the passage below and answer the following questions (根据文章内容回答下列问题)
Anything is Possible
We caught up with 16-year-old Australian world champion climber Angie Scarth-Johnson to find out how she had gotten to this point in her life.
Q: What got you into climbing
A: It was my mum’s fear of me hurting myself. Like many kids, I was always climbing trees. From the age of three, I thought anything that looked climbable needed to be climbed. I started to have accidents that sometimes led to me making hospital visits. Then when I was seven, Mum finally found the solution to my strange climbing addiction (嗜好)—a climbing gym. And it changed my life.
Q: You were only nine when you climbed a grade(攀岩难度路线) 31. What do you make of that
A: That’s one of the most memorable moments of my life. It’s hard to explain how significant it((意义重大的)achieving a grade 31 at nine is. It requires physical strength kids rarely have. Now, as an experienced climber, I know how difficult it was to believe a nine-year-old could do it. When I climbed as grade 31, I never thought of it as being unachievable — it was just a challenge. And it was the moment in which I felt anything was possible. I reflect on this when something starts to feel impossible now.
Q: 82
A: I tried many sports but I never got that feeling of freedom that climbing can give to me. I’m in complete control of my mind. I know what I must do and during that period of time, my surroundings disappear. I can only feel the movement of my body; the only sounds I’m aware of are the birds, my steady breath and maybe a slight breeze. When I’m finally able to reach the top, it is a feeling like no other.
Q: What advice do you have for new climbers
A: Make an ambitious goal and just go for it. I’d never be in this position if I held back. Go beyond expectations and continue to believe it’s possible even if it’s never been done before. And this mindset (思维模式)can be used throughout all aspects of your life.
78. What did Angie like to do when she was a kid
79. What does the underlined word “it” refer to
80. Why does achieving a grade 31 seem impossible for a nine-year-old
81. How did Angie feel after she had successfully climbed a grade 31
82. Fill in the blank in the article.
83. Why did Angie become successful (give at least 2 reasons)
