From a young age, Michael Platt loved two things: Martin Luther King and cupcakes. He remembered statistics about income inequality and children hunger. But he also     1     afternoons at his computer in his Bowie home, awestruck by YouTube bakers who transformed a base of eggs, flour and water     2     edible (可食用的) works of art.
Michael saw a way to     3     his twin passions. At age 11, he founded a bakery that operates on the Toms one-for-one model: For every cupcake, cake or cookie Michael     4    , he donates another to the homeless and     5    . Michael, now 13,said he     6     enjoys handing out cupcakes to kids.
Sometimes Michael bakes to     7     money for hunger-fighting nonprofit groups, too. He spent a morning last weekend teaching a baking class to raise money for No Kid Hungry.
He can keep up with his baking in part because he is homeschooled by his mother, who quit her job to     8     Michael full time. Michael     9     from public school-and his mother from job-after his epilepsy (癫痫) was diagnosed in sixth grade. His epilepsy became too     10     and too frequent to allow him to sit in a classroom, his mother explained.
“It was a very, very     11     time, “ she said of the period after the diagnosis, during which Michael had to     12     his physical activity. “He had to stop everything he     13    :Gymnastics, climbing trees, diving. So that’s when he kind of threw himself into baking,” she said. Baking, Michael said, makes him feel     14    .
But when he started the bakery, he knew from the beginning that he wanted his     15     to do more than make money. Michael hopes his cupcakes spread awareness of the past and     16     others to work for social equality.
Sometimes, Michael     17    , he grows tired of being in the kitchen. Then he remembers the     18     boy he met once while     19     cupcakes. A couple of days afterward, the boy’s father messaged Michael on Facebook to say that his son, encouraged by Michael’s example, now aspired (向往) to     20     a baker, “That inspired me,” Michael said.

When I was in the seventh and eighth grade, I had to face one of my greatest fears—rejection (拒绝) by friends. It was a time when three of the most important     1     that my parents had taught me throughout my life came into use. My classmates put my sense of loyalty, friendship, and     2     to the test.
Our class consisted of 31 students who had     3     each other since the first grade. In junior high, most of us had chosen groups of friends that we     4     to hang out with during our free time. I soon found that the majority of our     5     began to make fun of my best friend and spread what weren't true around the rest of the school. I didn't want to have the same people     6     me, but I knew that I couldn't just sit back and let my best friend deal with this     7    .
Every day I would think about my     8    , knowing that he was getting more and more     9     as time went by. I soon decided to talk to my mother about it, since she is     10     a second mother to my friend. Her advice was to be     11     and remain loyal(忠诚) to him. She told me that     12     is one of the most important things in life that helps a person     13    . My mother told me to have courage and     14     for my friend, even if it meant risking my own    15    .
I took her advice and     16     it for all that it was worth.     17     I did receive rejection from my classmates, I don’t     18     my decision. I told my friend that I would always be there for him, through “thick and thin”. Using the values (价值观) my parents     19     me, I not only stood up for what I believed in, but I became even     20     with my best friend because of it.

    It was just after sunrise on a June morning. "Nicolo," whose real name cannot be     1     to the public because of Italy's privacy laws,     2     working the whole night at a factory in Turin. As he often did, he stopped by the "after work auction(拍卖)"     3     by the Italian police where things     4     on the trains were sold to the highest bidder.

   Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure low-income students in his neighbourhood arrive at their college classes on time.
    A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been     1     free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started     2     his car to the young people, Wilson has     3     an astonishing 64,000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous     4     with the students he transports to and from school. The students who he's     5     have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they've also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students     6     call him "Grandpa".
    Tina Stern     7     rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free     8    ." It's not just a ride; you're not just sitting there in     9     silence or with your headphones on," Stem said. "He asks you questions and actually     10     the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he'll     11     those things."
    Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organisation, On Point for College. Although the     12     asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes     13     to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration, Wilson is there to     14     them. If they run out of certain daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what's needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never     15     to buy them a meal.
    For many students, Wilson's help is not only appreciated, it's also entirely     16     for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don't have a reliable car, while others have to     17     vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has     18     them to complete their education — but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the     19    . "I just love driving, and I love these kids," Wilson said. It's such a(n)     20     to be a part of these kids' lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories."

解析：1.此处意思是说父母所教导的三个最重要的价值观念在自己面对本文所面临的困难时发挥了作用。本题容易受teach的干扰而误选C,teach sb. a lesson给某人一个教训,教育某人。但是如果注意空前的three的限定作用则可避免此类错误,three values指下文提到的loyalty,friendship和courage。
2.此处所填内容应该是前文概括的三个重要的价值观念之一。根据14空前的have courage可知答案。sense of duty责任感。
3.选项中符合主语身份并且与全文主旨不相矛盾的只有C,全班的31名学生自从一年级就相互了解。
4.先行词groups of friends并非所填词的宾语,而是hang out with中with的宾语,由此可以判断,应该选A,在初中时,大多数人都会选择自己比较喜欢的朋友一起在空闲时出去玩。如果不能正确分析句子结构,则很容易受到就近干扰而误选B项,主观臆断为“邀请朋友去闲逛”。
5.根据第3空前的our class可知答案,此处的class是集合名词,作者班同学的大多数人开始嘲笑作者的朋友。
6.选项中D答案与上文的make fun of是同义词。作者不想让他们取笑自己。the same people指的是前文取笑作者朋友的那些人。
7.此处是说作者不想坐视不管,让自己的朋友独自一人去面对这一切。
8.所填词应该是前文提到的,因此应该选C,另外,后文的he应该指代所填词。
9.结合空前的主语he的指代可知,作者每天都想着自己的朋友,知道他变得越来越不高兴了。受人欺侮当然会不高兴。
10.整理句意可知应该选A。句意:我很快决定跟我母亲谈这件事,因为母亲对我的朋友来说也像妈妈一样。
11.此题需要结合第一段提到的三个价值观来选择答案。由此不难看出B项与have courage相符。
12.同样可以利用前文提到的三个价值观解题,由此可知,只能选择A项。
13.作者和自己的朋友当时还都是孩子,因此“成长”才最符合这些孩子的特点。B项用词过重,注意此处的a person是泛指的。
14.根据连词and前的have courage可知,应该选D,stand up勇敢站起来。此处是母亲鼓励作者的话语,母亲让作者勇敢地站起来,帮助朋友。20空前出现了这个短语。
15.前文提到过自己不希望那些人嘲笑自己,与此细节相吻合的应该是B项,为朋友挺身而出自己的名声可能有受损的风险。
16.空后宾语it指代her advice,作者接受了母亲的劝告,并且利用它做自己认为值得的事情。
17.根据句意选B,even though即使,尽管。句意:尽管我的确遭到了同学的排斥,但是我对自己所做的决定并不后悔。
18.解析见17题。
19.根据第一段内容,利用同词复现的方法可知应该选A。
20.作者不顾自己受到排斥,勇敢地帮助朋友,没有疏远朋友,反而更加密切了与他的关系。

解析：1.文章开头说,威尔逊总在努力确保自己街坊那些低收入家庭的大学生能按时赶到自己的课堂,因此这里用offering 表示"主动提供,愿意给"。offer a free ride to sb.表示 "让某人免费乘车"。
2.语境说威尔逊总是自愿让街坊的大学生免费乘车去上学,因此这里不是说他把自己的车捐献给那些学生,借给学生,或者把车递送给学生,故选D项。
3.语境表示在过去的八年时间里,威尔逊就这样开车行驶了64 000英里的路程。cover表示"行走(一段路程)"。
4.语境说的是威尔逊在开车接送这些学生的路途中与学生进行的愉快幽默的交谈(conversations),而不是争论、采访、谈判,因此选D。
5.这里说的是威尔逊开车接送的那些学生后来的情况。drive表示"开车送"。
6.从语境的连贯看,此处表示这些大学生视威尔逊为楷模和朋友,甚至(even)亲切地叫他"爷爷"。
7.这里讲述其中一名免费乘车的学生,因此用received表示"得到",而不是赚取、评价、要求乘车。
8.这里用free transportation指威尔逊免费送贫困大学生上下学的行为,因此A项"交通"符合语境。
9.这里说的是,坐上威尔逊的车,这些学生不会陷入尴尬的沉默或者戴上耳机不与他人交流,用awkward来形容"沉默",表示"令人尴尬的",forced"被迫的",ridiculous"荒谬的",suspicious"可疑的",都不符合语境。
10.下文说,"下次你跟他一起坐车的时候,他还会……那些事情",由此判断这里说的是威尔逊在询问街坊的这些大学生一些问题的时候,能记得他们的回答,由此选D。
11.前文提到学生坐他的车时他与学生之间的问和答,这里说下次乘车的时候,威尔逊还会核实那些事情,用check on表示"核实,检查"。act on"按照……行事",settle on"选定",agree on"就……达成一致意见",都不符合语境。
12.最初威尔逊参与一个支援学生的慈善计划(a student-support programme),因此这里用programme表示"计划"。
13.这里说威尔逊经常做更多,因此用go beyond表示他不仅仅做分内之事。
14.用assist 表示"帮助"与前面的"有问题"呼应:当学生在报名注册方面遇到问题的时候,他就会去帮助他们。
15.从语境的连贯看,这里用hesitates表示"犹豫":乘车的学生坐车时间太长,饿了,他就会毫不犹豫地给学生买来饭菜。
16.语境表示有了威尔逊的这些帮助,这些贫困大学生才能读完大学,因此用necessary表示"必要的,必不可少的"。
17.这里说这些大学生乘客的情况:他们或者家里没车,或者自己的父母每周上班6天,离不开车,这种情况下他们就要和父母共用(share)一辆车,因此选A。
18.这里表示威尔逊开车接送这些学生,学生才得以完成自己的大学教育,用allowed表示"允许"。
19.这里讲的是威尔逊自己也从开车接送这些学生的经历中获益。
20.威尔逊在这里说,能够成为这些大学生生活中的一部分,了解他们,这是一种荣幸,因此用privilege表示"荣幸,幸运"。
