四、完形填空
The heavy rain was sudden on a cold night over ten years ago. My bus suddenly stopped at a station because of the rain.

I had no way of getting home. It was around 6 p.m. and there were no buses and I couldn't 3 a taxi. Home was too far to walk in the rain. We stood outside the center, looking at the rain pouring down, showing no sign of stopping. I noticed another parent stop the 4 and rush inside to collect his child ten minutes later. I did not 5 him and my thought turned back to my terrible situation.

I turned around to face the man who'd arrived late to pick up his child. I couldn't 7 believe that there was a chance of getting a lift and I was too excited to tell him where I lived.

解析
1. “run out of”表示“用尽，耗尽”，这里指时间快耗尽了，符合语境。“come out”出来，“turn out”结果是，“work out”算出，均不符合，所以选A。
2. “face the next situation”面对下一个状况，“position”位置，“doubt”怀疑，“question”问题，均不如“situation”合适，所以选C。
3. “hire a taxi”雇一辆出租车，“choose”选择，“expect”期待，“afford”负担得起，均不符合语境，所以选D。
4. 从后文“getting a lift”搭便车以及“getting the car seat wet”可知是停的小汽车，所以选D。
5. “notice”注意到，这里指没有注意到他，符合语境。“understand”理解，“thank”感谢，“trouble”麻烦，均不合适，所以选C。
6. “voice”指人的声音，“sound”泛指各种声音，“noise”噪音，“shout”大喊，这里是指人的说话声，所以选C。
7. “couldn't simply believe”简直不敢相信，“generally”一般地，“strongly”强烈地，“hardly”几乎不，所以选B。
8. “offer to do sth.”主动提出做某事，这里指他主动提出带我们，所以选C。
9. “seem to do sth.”似乎做某事，这里指他似乎不介意，所以选A。
10. 陌生人的帮助体现了“kindness”善良，“courage”勇气，“importance”重要性，“joys”快乐，均不如“kindness”符合语境，所以选B。

The Person I Admire Most
答案
The Person I Admire Most
The person I admire most is Yuan Longping, known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice". He was born on September 7, 1930 in Beijing and passed away on May 22, 2021 in Changsha.
Yuan Longping made great achievements in his life. In the 1970s, he developed a new type of hybrid rice, which increased the yield by 20% per unit. This invention was very important because it helped solve the food problem for many people. In 2004, he won the World Food Prize for his great contribution. His hard work saved millions of lives around the world.
I admire him not only for his scientific achievements but also for his spirit. He spent his whole life working in the fields, trying to help people have enough food. He is a real hero and a true idol. We should learn from him to work hard and help others.
