项。
17. A. cleans B. digs C. clears
D. covers
答案C解析词义辨析题。A项“清扫”;B项“挖”;C项“清除,弄干净”;D项“覆盖,走完一段路程,足够支付”。此处指扫雪机清除积雪,使路面干净。动词clean和clear作为动词意思接近,但clean更强调动作,而clear则更强调结果。答案为C项。
18. A. likely B. necessary C. improper D. impossible 答案D解析词义辨析题。A项“很可能的”;B项“必要的”;C项“不正确的,不适当的”;D项“不可能的”。因为农村道路雨雪后泥泞,不能开车,这使得作者不能去上学,所以答案为D项。 19. A. still B. yetC. even D.as 答案B解析行文逻辑题。根据后文“if I want to live in the country or in the city when I grow up.”可知,作者现在仍然不确定将来长大后是生活在城市还是农村。选项中still和yet均可表示“仍然,依旧”,但still常用于肯定句中,表示“某事正在进行中”,一般与现在时态或进行时态连用。也可用在疑问句或否定句中,在否定句中须放在否定词not之前;yet表示“某事尚未发生”,多用于否定句或带否定词的陈述句中。此句为否定句,且not在前,所以答案为B项。
20. A. quiet B. lonelyC. alone D. busy 答案B解析词义辨析题。A项“安静的”;B项“孤独寂寞的”;C项“独自的,单独的”;D项“忙碌的”。因为农村人少,所以尽管作者喜欢和动物在一起,但农村会让人寂寞。答案为B项。

History has some very special qualities about it. It is a 1 of what has happened in the past, and the really interesting thing is that much of history has been 2 time and again. It allows us to learn from the past, both the 3 made and the successes achieved.
One of the 4 of history is that it allows us to know how famous people 5 when they were faced with challenges in their life.6 these challenges happened at a certain time in the past or in a 7 country or culture, all of them can always teach us something 8.
Take for example the 9 of Thomas Edison and how many times he 10 while on the road to finally inventing the light bulb. He could be held out as an example of a person who 11 stopped trying. I am sure he was 12 by those difficulties but he did not let them stop him. He had a 13 and he just kept trying until he reached success.
Or, think about the story of Abraham Lincoln who 14 to become President
of the United States even though he suffered 15 losses. Most of us only know about his success.16,his life was not an easy one. His story makes us keep moving forward no matter what 17 we have in life.
These true history stories will make you stop to reconsider 18 or going after your dreams even though you may not think you have the courage or the 19 for now to get what you have always wanted. They could help you make decisions and 20 when you have no idea what to do. They could inspire you to be all that you can be.
