【题目】阅读下面短文，根据文章大意用所给单词的适当形式填空（未提供单词的，限填一词）, 使文章意思完整、正确，并将答案写在答题卷上。
Do you know the boy in the picture? He is Kuang Heng. Kuang Heng lived in more than 2,000 (year) ago in China.
From the picture we can see: at that time, he was in worn clothes, and sitting at wooden table with a pile of books on it. A little weak light came through a small hole in the wall. He was reading carefully.
This is the well-known story from the ancient Chinese idiom. Kuang Heng was so poor he couldn't even afford a candle, so he （dig） a hole in the wall to "steal" light from his neighbor's house (read) at night. The moral of the story tells us that we should try (we) best to learn knowledge, but never be discouraged (easy), no matter how difficult the situation may be.
Of course, things (be) quite different today, but we should remember that hard work pays off. We should take pains to improve ourselves through learning and get (prepare) for our future.

【答案】years；a；in；that；dug；to read；our；easily；are；prepared
【解析】历年的考试中，形容词主要考查形容词与副词的转变，比较级及最高级；动词主要考查谓语的时态与语态及非谓语动词，名词主要考查单复数。填空部分没有的单词的一般从介词，冠词，连词，代词这四种词性中考虑。
①句意：匡衡生活在2000多年以前的中国。名词year变复数years。
②句意：他穿着破旧的衣服，坐在一张堆了一堆书的桌子旁。结合句意可知是冠词a。
③句意：微弱的光线通过墙上的那个小洞射进来。结合句意可知是in。
④so……that……意为“如此……以至于……”，句意：他是如此的贫穷以至于买不起蜡烛，故填that。
⑤句意：所以他在墙上挖了个洞。故事发生在过去，故用过去式，dug。
⑥偷光的目的是看书，不定式可以表示目的，故填to read。
⑦try one's best意为“尽某人最大努力”，故填形容词性物主代词our。
⑧修饰动词discourage用副词easily。句意：从不轻易气馁。
⑨句子转到现在today，故用一般现在时，are。
⑩句意：我们应该通过学习来努力提高自己，为未来做好准备。get相当于be，后面用形容词prepared。
