My Perfect Imperfect Life
A few years ago, I was standing at the barre (扶手杠) waiting for my adult ballet class when I heard a voice behind me. “So, do you have this perfect life?”
My first reaction was to 1 who was being asked such an odd question. Then I remembered there were only two of us in the room. When I turned 2 , the other woman was looking straight at me.
I had no idea how to answer it. Was she 3 ? Who has a perfect life? Sure, occasionally I did find the perfect dress or the perfect pair of shoes, 4 never would I use that word to describe anything about me or my life. I felt a twinge of guilt for somehow giving her that 5 .
She watched me. I finally 6 to whisper a quick “No”.
By then, the teacher had entered the room and turned on the music to start class. With a sigh of 7 , I moved my feet into the best position. But as soon as my knees bent for our first pose, I realized my 8 had been disturbed. This woman’s words wouldn’t 9 echoing in my thoughts.
I wanted to know how she came up with her very mistaken 10 . If she knew anything about my life, she would never have had the 11 to ask me that question.
I did my best to do our floor exercises in front of the mirror. For a few moments, I didn’t see the usual 12 of my older self attempting to use a beautiful art form to 13 my gracefulness. I only saw the little girl whose father died when she was two, the child who walked home from elementary school every day to an empty house, who learned to sew her own clothes to 14 money.
Perfect. My life had been far from it.
When those memories 15 , I was left with a vision of the woman I had become, the woman 16 by all those things I considered imperfect. I now saw the woman who had learned to be self-reliant, who 17 her family and her friends, who didn’t take life for granted. Was that the “perfect” this woman had detected?
I still don’t know, but I no longer feel 18 or feel like I must keep track of all the difficult times to prove my life isn’t 19 . If ever again asked whether my life is perfect, I would have a different 20 . Because now I see that, despite all its imperfection, it is.

四．阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Ray Tokuda, a 54-year-old Japanese American, is proud of the title his school has given him. He is a Shifu, a Chinese word literally meaning a master, mentor or senior practioner of martial arts.
Tokuda has reason to be proud. He has been involved with Chinese martial arts for almost four decades. After learning them at the martial arts school in New Mexico State, today he is among the most experienced kung fu teachers of the school.
Practicing martial arts two to three hours and helping students improve their skills have become Tokuda’s daily routine. He expects to practice and teach martial arts for the rest of his life. “I’m still learning. It’s worth more than a lifetime to learn Chinese martial arts,” he said. “Once I started, I just couldn’t stop. I think it’s also the magic of Chinese culture.”
Tokuda was sent to the martial arts school when he was 10. He still remembers how unwilling he was when starting out. “My father had always wanted to learn Chinese martial arts but never got the chance, so he put his kid in,” he said. “I was so afraid at that time because I thought kung fu was all about fighting.”
But things changed after he learned that martial arts were more than punching and kicking.
“One of the things martial arts teach me is overcoming adversity,” Tokuda said. “As a little kid, my first lesson was like, oh, look, this is a thing that I can get through by diligence, perseverance（毅力）and dedication, and that was priceless for my life.”
Learning Chinese martial arts opened a gateway for him to better understand Chinese culture because he could hear a lot of ancient Chinese kung fu-related stories. “It is like in America, where we hear stories about knights in shining armor and King Arthur and noble deeds done,” he said. “I feel martial arts preserve something of ancient China that can’t be found in books. They are sort of an oral history.”
Tokuda has also been invited to various events in his home state to showcase traditional Chinese culture, including the dragon dance and lion dance, which he also learnt at the martial arts school. Because of this, he is now considered a cultural envoy (使者) in the eyes of the public.
1. Tokuda didn’t want to learn kung fu because he had thought it was __________.

New App Helps People Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.
The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app’s creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”
The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.
4. SocialRecall is used to ________.
A. take photos B. identify people C. organize events D. make friends
5. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. how the app works B. how the app was created
C. what makes the app popular D. what people can do with the app
6. SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by ________.
A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones
B. collecting information previously entered in the phone
C. providing the information of a person when they first meet
D. showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face
7. What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage?
A. It may put people’s privacy at risk.
B. It has caused unintended consequences.
C. It can prevent some communication disorders.
D. It is praised by users for its protective measures.
C
Dog eyesight declines with age. Injuries and ailments can cloud their vision. Zero was a highly trained, driven alert dog. So, at competitions, when he started running into obstacles and falling off the ends of teeter-totters（跷跷板）, his owner, San Francisco-area dog trainer Dianne Morey, was concerned.
As time passed, she noticed a pattern. The problems only occurred at competitions held in horse arenas, where yellow obstacles blended into the color of the sand covering the floor. Concerned about his eyesight, Morey took Zero to a vet, who diagnosed him with a genetic condition. Morey found the diagnosis “heartbreaking.” After one last competition— which he won— Zero retired. In the time since, he’s led a life full of activities like dock diving and hiking, where poor vision is less dangerous. While there’s no cure for his disease, protective eyewear has helped keep him safe while being active.
On average, dogs develop nearsightedness or farsightedness less often than humans, says Alexandra van der Woerdt at Animal Medical Center in New York City. However, their eyesight also declines with age. Injuries and some diseases such as glaucoma（青光眼）can cloud their vision. Thinking back, Morey realizes some behaviors — for instance, the way Zero poked his nose before entering a gate — were signs his vision was impaired.
Identifying vision issues in dogs isn’t as easy as with humans. Dogs don’t bark wrong letters on the eye chart, and they’re very good at adapting. Treatments for eye problems may include eyedrops, medications or surgery. Eyewear can also play a role in treating or preventing many issues. Many dogs don’t like eyewear at first. Zero was an exception, thanks to his training in agility and tricks, Morey says.
8. What made Dianne Morey concerned?
A. Her trained dog Zero fell off in competitions.
B. She was badly hurt by a dog in a competition.
C. She found her eyesight was declining with age.
D. Her trained dog Zero wasn’t as clever as before.
9. What can we know from the second paragraph?
A. Zero is retiring soon. B. Zero’s disease can’t be cured.
C. Zero got the disease from his birth. D. Zero has recovered from his poor eyesight.
10. Which of the following can replace the word “blended” in the second paragraph?
A. added. B. missed. C. needed. D. mixed.
11. What makes it difficult to identify dogs’ vision problems?
A. They are too fierce to control. B. They don’t like to wear eyewear.
C. They adapt to the poor sight easily. D. They bark wrong letters on the eye chart.
五．读后续写抄写

Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around. But in my heart, I was sad because I couldn’t stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whol
