(A)
During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”
So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn't I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn't move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn't move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.
That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.
My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learned to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.

I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learned to take food from me, and soon I had goats' milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.

Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don't really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don't let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦).
Bitterness appears when we can't forgive(原谅)someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside.
Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we're hurting that person by criticizing(指责)him or her often, but we're really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. Accept it. Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger. Stop making excuses for it. You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you're right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
Forgive and forget it. You probably can't completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person Forget it and move on.

四、阅读表达（共5分，每小题1分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读短文内容在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass, the leaves on trees and most growing plants. Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished.
For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horn had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today. Someone who has ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early 1990s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains (谷物). The new plants produced much larger crops (庄稼). The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs.
12
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, envy. The green-eyed monster (怪物) is not a terrible creature (生物) from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone else has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, the green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not.
Main idea: Green is an important color which means being young, (44) _________ and growing. Greenhorn Green thumb It refers to someone who has (45) _______ nothing.
