Question

But as she started, she found herself slowly_______ into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can't reach the ocean,” she said sadly to_______.

At that time, a deep voice came, “If a breeze(微风) can cross the desert, so_______a river. ”It was the voice of the desert.” A breeze can fly, but I can't," the stream answered. “Thar's because you can't_______what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am? No! No!” The stream could not_______ this idea. “The breeze can_______the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again.” said the desert. “And whether you are a river_______vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing that the stream went into the open arms of the breeze, it carried her to the next stage of her life.

【解析】

文章大意：文章通过一条小溪的故事告诉我们要想实现梦想就要改变自己，学会变通．

本文讲述的是一条小溪在过沙漠的时候，遇见了困难．最后在沙漠的建议下，改变了自己的形态，变成了水蒸气，在风的帮助下，最后越过了沙漠．并把这一过程与人生进行了比较！如果你想通过你生活中的困难，走向成功，你也应该改变你的方式．

1.句意：然后它到达了沙漠。

reached到达，及物动词；arrived到达，不及物动词，常与介词at和to搭配；came来、到达，不及物动词；got到达、得到，不及物动词。根据Then it__1__a desert. 可知，设空处后面直接接宾语，应用及物动词，故答案选A。

2.句意：“我经历了无尽的困难。我穿过沙漠应该没有问题，”她想。

problems问题、难题；difficulties困难；results结果；questions提问、问题。根据I went through endless__2__. 可知应是我经历了无尽的困难，故答案选B。

3.句意：但当她开始时，她发现自己慢慢消失在沙子里。

appearing出现；turning转向；disappearing消失；putting投掷。根据into the sand，可知是她发现自己慢慢消失在沙子里，disappear into消失在……中，故答案选C。

4.句意：“也许我到不了大海，”她悲伤地对自己说。

her她的；it它；us我们；herself她自己。联系上文语境，结合“Maybe I can't reach the ocean,” she said sadly to__4__.可知是她悲伤地对自己说也许自己看不到大海了，所以这里用反身代词，故答案选D。

5.句意：如果微风可以穿过沙漠，那么河流也可以。

do做；can可以、能够；does做，第三人称单数；will将。根据If a breeze(微风) can cross the desert, so__5__a river.再联系下文语境，可知沙漠是说如果微风可以穿过沙漠，那么河流也可以。故答案选B。

6.句意：那是因为你不能放弃本来的自己。

give up放弃；take up开始从事；get up起床；set up建立。根据下文Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, 让自己蒸发到微风中，可知是放弃本来的自己，变成水蒸气，故答案选A。

7.句意：小溪无法接受这个想法。

receive收到；accept接受；agree同意；answer回答、答复。根据No! No!可知是小溪无法接受这个想法，故答案选B。

8.句意：微风可以把水汽带过沙漠，然后让它变成雨。

carry携带、运载；fetch取得；take拿、取；bring带来。根据下文it carried her to the next stage of her life.中的carried，可知此处指的是微风可以把水汽带过沙漠，用carry，故答案选A。

9.句意：不管你是一条河还是一团水汽，你的本性永远不会改变。

and和、又；but但是；so因此；or或者。根据And whether you are a river__9__vapor, 可知river和vapor表示并列，含有选择的意义，所以用or，故答案选D。

10.句意：有时，我们觉得无路可走，其实是另一段人生旅程的开始。

Some times几次；Sometimes有时；Sometime某时；Some time一些时间。根据__10__we think that no way to go is actually the beginning of another journey of life.可知句意为：有时，我们觉得无路可走，其实是另一段人生旅程的开始。应用副词sometimes，故答案选B。
