（七）
1．D 根据上文语境中提到的“slowly”“carrying a big suitcase”等可知，这种情况产生的结果应是tired。故选D项。
2．C 空格后的并列谓语fell已暗示，父亲上楼时失足了，动词短语miss a step意为“失足，踩滑”，符合语境。故选C项。
3．B 父亲跌倒后失手，使箱子滚下楼梯。send sth． doing意为“使得……行动起来”，是send后跟复合宾语的句型，其后用现在分词作宾语补足语，表示正在进行的动作。故选B项。
4．B 由于父亲没踩到楼梯，箱子滚下了楼，父亲的脸变红了。作者知道无论什么时候父亲的脸变红了，就要多加小心。look out意为“小心”，符合语境。故选B项。
5．D 根据下文中的“screaming（大叫大嚷）”一词可知，lead意为“引导”，help意为“帮助”和encourage意为“鼓励”，均都不符合语境。此处get是使役动词，后接动词不定式作宾语补足语，即get sb． to do sth．意为“使某人做某事”。故选D项。
6．A 作者在学校里自然要和其他的女同学一起度过一年中其余的时间，故选A项。
7．C 由于上文中所述的事，作者感到自己的大学生活是一个坏的开始。故选C项。
8．B 作者对自己要住的房间究竟有什么设备，里边是否有椅子或根本就是一个空房间，心里全然没数。选B项。
9．C “我”先用钥匙开锁，然后把门推开。故此空应填pushed，在句中作并列的谓语。pushed the door open是push带复合宾语的句型，其中open是形容词作宾语补足语，表示状态。push意为“推”，符合语境。
10．B think about意为“考虑”；complain about意为“抱怨”；talk about意为“谈论”；argue about意为“争论”。故B项符合语境。
11．A expect意为“期望”；catch意为“抓住，发现”；find意为“找到”；forget意为”忘记”。根据语境可知A项正确。
12．C “to one's ＋感情名词”结构，意为“使人……的是”，在句中作状语表示结果。故选C项。
13．B 根据空格后并列的谓语“looked over at Dad”可知，她把音量调低。turn down意为“关小，调低”，符合语境。故选B项。
14．C 根据上下文的语境，埃米和“我”父亲谈话时应是面带笑容，smiling是现在分词表示伴随动作。故选C项。
15．D 此时作者父亲的心情已经轻松多了。再根据埃米向作者父亲问候的话语可以判断，父亲显然不脸红了。obviously意为“显然”，符合语境。

As he stood in front of the group, he said, “Okay, time for a quiz.” He then pulled out a wide-mouth jar and set it on the table. Then he carefully placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the __2__ and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar __3__？” Everyone in the class said, “Yes.”
“Really？” Then he reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel(沙砾，石子), dumped some in and __4__ the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space between the big rocks. Then he asked the group the same question. “Probably not.” One of them answered. “Good！” he replied.
He reached under the table and __5__ a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. __6__ he asked the question. “No！” the class shouted. “Good！” Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim.

“No, ” the speaker replied, “The truth it teaches us is that you will never get them in at all if you don't put the big rocks in first. Whatever the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and __10__ for yourself. In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you'll fill your life with __11__ things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are __12__ on this short story, ask yourself what are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Then put those in your jar first.”
