There once was a farmer who grew the best corn in his town. One day, his friend Scott asked him 91 he grew the best corn. The farmer told him that he often gave his good corn seeds (种子) to his 92 .
“ 93 do you give your good seeds to your neighbors? They will compete 94 you!” Scott asked. “Why?” the farmer laughed. “Don’t you know? The wind picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and 95 it from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn, the bad pollen will have bad influence on 96 . My corn cannot improve 97 my neighbors’ corn improves.”
It is the same with our lives. Those 98 choose to live in peace must help their neighbors to live in peace. Those who choose to live well must help 99 to live well. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find 100 , as the happiness of each has something to do with the happiness of all.
【主旨大意】本文是一片哲理故事。一个农民能种出镇上最好的玉米的秘诀是他把自己的好种子给邻居去种。风传播花粉时，这样就不会给他的田地带来坏的影响。只有邻居的玉米好了，他的才会好。同样因为每个人的幸福都与所有人的幸福有关。
91. how 文章首句叙述这个农名种的玉米是他镇上最好的，下一句又说他告诉司各特他把种子给邻居，可知朋友问他怎么能种出最好的玉米，可知应用how引导一个宾语从句。
92. neighbors 根据下一段朋友的问他为什么把种子给邻居们，可知他告诉朋友他把他的好种子给了邻居，故答案为neighbors。
93. why 根据朋友的话“他们会和你竞争”可知朋友不理解他为什么这么做，因此应用why构成的疑问句：你为什么把你的好种子给邻居们？
94. with Compete with固定短语，意为“和……竞争”。
95. blows/spreads 该句为农民向他的朋友解释为什么把好的种子给邻居们：风会携带着玉米的花粉，把它从一块田地吹到/ 传播到另一块田地。故用blow表“吹” 或spread表“传播”。
96. mine 根据句意“如果邻居种了不好的玉米，花粉就会对我的玉米有不好的影响”知，该句应用名词性物主代词mine表示my corn。
97. unless由上文知玉米花粉是靠风从一块田地到另一块田地来传播的，不好的玉米会影响邻居的玉米的。故句意为：如果邻居的玉米没有改进，我的玉米也不会有所改善。两个分句之间是条件关系，故用unless表“如果……不”。
98. who 根据句意“那些和平生活的人们一定会帮助他的邻居和平生活”和结构可知该句为含有定语从句的复合句，先行词those为指示代词，这儿指人，因此只能用who作为引导定语从句的关系词。
99. others 从结构上看该段是由几个排比句组成，下一句为“并且那些选择快乐的人会帮助别人……” 可知该句的意思是：那些选择好好生活的人会帮助别人好好生活。故用others表“别人”。
100. happiness 根据后半句“因为每个人的幸福都与所有人的幸福有关。”可知“并且那些选择快乐的人会帮助别人找到快乐”。find动词，其后应用happiness名词作宾语。
（2018.吉林）X.（A）尊老爱幼、诚实守信是中华民族的传统美德。传承家风、铭记家训是我们需要肩负的神圣使命。下面是李华给她的外国朋友 David写的一封介绍 “家风、家训（ Family Instructions）的信。请将其补充完鉴，每空一词。（5分）
Dear David,
How is everything going？ You asked me about Chinese family instructions in your last letter. In my opinion，they’re common beliefs（信仰）that family members should follow.
From a very young 86 , my parents told me to respect（尊重）the old and the young. Many traditional stories tell us to be 87 and keep our promises. people are 88 trouble，be there and help them. I was influenced by what I saw and heard. Gradually，I came to 89 the importance of family instructions. I think we teenagers need to pass them on.
Are there any family instructions like 90 in your country？Please write to me soon.
Love,
Li Hua
