Beavers spend a lot of time in the water, building dams to form little 15 or pools. They work hard to cut down trees, 16 branches and put them across streams. They use their tails to pack mud on the branches to make the dams solid. 17 other animals work so hard.

解析:
1、instead
of doing sth.,而不要做……。
2、此处填的词应同于前句的“…her students”,故用children取代。 3、此处所填的词对应于complain一词,后接宾语内容,所以选say。 4、这种学生就像勤劳的海狸,喜欢算数学题。 5、老师让学生在家做的作业应为homework。 6、always表肯定,加强语气符合句意。 7、既然是个eager beaver,理应最早上班,最迟下班。 8、因为是“…a true eager beaver”,所以他应该喜欢他的工作。 9、eager beaver这个词语来源于一个动物的名字。 10、根据下文可知它有尾巴,排除A项,D项课文没有涉及,另据后面内容,可知这一动物长相奇特。 11、根据后面,它有25公斤多重,所以理应比老鼠大得多。 12、海狸的尾巴很显然是帮助它在水里游泳的。 13、据后面提示可知,海狸大多数时间都在水里度过,它身上的皮毛可以帮助它抵御寒冷,保持温暖。 14、牙齿可以咬倒大树,可见它的锋利。 15、坝子围起来的该是小池子或小湖,A项符合题意。 16、根据这一连串行为,先把树咬倒。最后从溪流中把树枝带到对岸,所以中间所填的一词应是remove(搬运、搬走)。 17、很少有其他的动物像海狸这样勤劳。 18、因大部分海狸被杀,所以说,有一段时间,海狸处在灭绝的危险之中。 19、法律是为了保护海狸而被通过,这样才能和前句构成转折。 20、此处应指海狸的数量。

阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。
It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
