Question

【题目】完成短文
Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope (羚羊) wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, “I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be k.” At the same time, a lion wakes from his dream. The first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the antelope, or I will die of hunger .” So almost at the same time, the antelope and the lion get up and start running toward the rising sun.
This is life: full of chances and challenges. Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go awhen the sun rises. For students, it is just the same. If we don't study hard, sooner or later, we will fall bthe other students. At first, I didn't know what the word “exam” meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always w and losers. As I grew up, I got to know “competition”. In one's life, there must be competitions, so people can improve.
Each time I saw children playing games and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. However, I remembered my parents' words: “You must work very hard in order to have a good f. ” So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.
I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. I s knew what competition was. It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary.
I learned a lot from realizing this . Now I understand better about the world. Competition is important for us all.

Answer 1

【答案】killed；slowest；ahead；behind；winners；future；suddenly
【解析】本文是一篇人生哲理类短文，文中通过狮子和羚羊的故事告诉我们：在生活中充满了机会和挑战，要勇敢面对挑战，努力为未来奋斗。同时还通过作者自己的经历解释了考试和竞争的意义。

⑴句意：我一定得比最快的狮子跑得更快，否则我会被杀死的。如果羚羊跑得不够快，就会成为狮子的猎物，就会被杀死，主语I与杀（kill）的承受者，因此句子用被动语态，动词用过去分词，故填：killed。

⑵句意：我一定得抓住那最慢的羚羊，否则我就会因为饥饿而死去。与前句中的fastest相对应，最快的狮子认为它的猎物是“最慢的”，故填：slowest。

⑶句意：这就是生活，无论你是羚羊还是狮子，你必须在太阳升起时向前。向前：go ahead。故填：ahead。

⑷句意：如果我们不努力学习，迟早，我们会落到别人后面的。不学习要落后。落后：fall behind。故填：behind。

⑸句意：在竞争中，总会有胜利者和失败者。与失败者losers相对应的是胜利者：winners。故填：winners。

⑹句意：为了好的未来，你必须非常努力地学习。努力学习可以导致好的未来，未来：future。故填：future。

⑺句意：我突然明白了竞争是什么。根据短文内容，作者一直对什么是竞争感到迷茫，在上台时，从人们友善的表情中，突然明白了竞争的含义，突然：suddenly。故填：suddenly。
