一、高中英语完形填空 1.完形填空
During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a \"free\" course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits.
I 1 the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn't want to 2 a few dollars? More than that, I'd always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren't 3 enough about free credits, news about our 4 was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which 5 I would be learning from one of the game's 6 . I could hardly wait to 7 him.
Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 8 was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 9 that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 10 the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 11 what we would learn in class to our future professions and, 12 , to our lives. I managed to get an A in that 13 and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 14 .
Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I'm still putting to use what he 15 me: \"The absolute most important 16 that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 17 . On every single move you have to 18 a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and 19 the best move from among all your options.\" These words still ring true today in my 20 as a journalist. 1.

A. grades 18. A. analyze
B. earn B. worried
C. save C. moved
D. turned down D. pay D. tired D. instructor D. meant D. rarest D. job D. possible D. observe D. compare D. normally D. experiment
B. competitor C. textbook B. demanded C. held B. easiest
C. best
7. A. interview B. meet
B. perfect B. pass B. expose
C. challenge D. beat C. clear C. skip C. apply C. directly
B. qualification C. honor
12. A. eventually B. naturally
B. presentation C. course B. wrote B. step B. decisions B. describe

\"Why do they matter?\" a boy named Michael asked. \"I mean, who 4 about our stories?\"
No one said a wont. Perhaps they were just tired from their 5 lives. Many worked full-time while in school full-time. Most might not have the faintest 6 that their stories did matter. They didn't even know that their stories were stories — as beautiful and hard — as their own lives.
7 , I looked at Michael. \"They matter because they do.\" I said. \"Because you're here and you can tell them. Stories allow us to make 8 of what we're 9 . When you 10 your experience into a story, it becomes yours and not just something that 11 to you.\"
Michael didn't look 12 , but he didn't challenge me either.
Later, Michael wrote about how he grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods in Boston and how his high school teacher, who saw his 13 , helped him fill out a college application. I 14 Michael to read his essay out loud. After he finished, the class went so 15 that we could hear the sound of each other's breath. I looked at Michael and saw a softening and 16 in his eyes.
