阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（限填1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

In my living room, there is a plaque that advises me to “bloom 【1】 you are planted”. It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program. The job 【2】 (responsible) required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one 【3】 bloomed in her remote area.

Dorothy taught in a remote school near Harlan. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road 【4】 (wind) around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of 【5】 (catch) by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of 【6】 (hope).

From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all my gloom disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children 【7】 (prepare) to show me their 【8】 (late) projects. Dorothy told me with a smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread they made themselves for dinner.

Lonely 【9】 she was far away from the modern civilization and convenience, she never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. She passed all the tests 【10】 (excellent) and I found that Dorothy was really blooming where life had planted her.

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于记叙文，讲述了扎根偏远地区教育事业的Dorothy的动人故事，告诉我们要在自己的工作岗位上发光发热。

【1】where 考查状语从句。本句中where引导地点状语从句，修饰动词bloom，意为在你被种植的地方绽放。

【2】responsibility/responsibilities 考查名词。横线后required是谓语动词，说明横线上应该使用名词做主语，形容词responsible的名词是responsibility,文章中并没有说清楚是否要用复数形式，所以也可以使用复数。

【3】who/that 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是one（指代老师），是一个指人的代词，所以使用关系代词who/that指代先行词，在定语从句中做主语。

【4】winding/that（which） wound 考查非谓语动词用法。动词wind“蜿蜒前行”与名词road构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词短语winding.....在句中作定语，相当定语从句that（which）wound....。

【5】getting/being caught 考查动名词。本句中动词catch与主语I构成被动关系，而横线前面有介词of，说明应该使用动名词的被动形式being/getting caught。

【6】hopelessness 考查名词。横线前面有介词of，说明横线上应该使用名词作为介词的宾语。句意：当地的贫穷让我很着急，低矮破旧的房子让我有绝望的感觉。所以使用hopelessness“绝望”。

【7】had prepared 考查时态。在我们到来之前，孩子们就已经准备好了向我们展示他们最新的节目。根据本段第一句中的arrived，可知孩子们准备节目是在我们到来之前，所以要使用过去完成时。

【8】latest 考查形容词。形容词latest最新的，孩子们为了欢迎我们，准备了最新的节目迎接我们。

【9】though/as 考查语法。本句中lonely提前至句首，与though/as连用，构成让步状语从句。相当于Although she was lonely far away from the modern civilization and convenience....。

【10】excellently 考查副词。英语中副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词。本句中分词excellently修饰动词短语passed all the tests.她以优秀的成绩通过了所有的考试，我发现她才是真正地在被种植的地方绽放。
