Ⅱ.综合填空。
Sammie,14, knows there's nothing worse than feeling left out. For years,she has been helping kids who feel lonely. What she is doing is making the Buddy Bench(伙伴长椅) a 1. (success) programme.
She started it when she was 2. the third grade. The idea was that anyone at school who 3. (feel) lonely could sit on the "buddy bench". That let other kids truly know someone needed a friend. "It's really helpful to have other people notice you," Sammie said. The idea 4. (quick) became a hit because the bench brought kids together.
"It means a lot to me," she said, "5. this is making a difference to people's lives."
Sammie thought it would be cool to have 6. buddy bench in her school, so she told the idea to her headmaster, her teachers, and her parents. To get a "yes" for the project was just the 7. (one) step. There are still a lot of 8. (discuss).
Sammie said the project has helped 9. (she) change a lot. "I used to be really,really shy," she said. "I'm much 10. (outgoing) now." What Sammie's work shows is that small acts of kindness are of little use, but they can be powerful.

1. successful 2. in 3. felt 4. quickly 5. because
6. a 7. first 8. discussions 9. her 10. more outgoing

【分析】
本题是英语语篇型综合填空，解题思路为：先通读全文把握Sammie推广伙伴长椅的故事主旨，再逐个分析每个空的句子结构、所需词性、时态、固定搭配或上下文逻辑，结合括号内提示词或语境确定正确形式，最终完成填空。
【解析】
1. 此处需形容词修饰名词programme，名词success的形容词形式为successful，故填successful。
2. 表示“在三年级”为固定搭配in the third grade，故填in。
3. 全文叙述过去的事，定语从句谓语用过去式，feel的过去式为felt，故填felt。
4. 此处修饰动词became，需用副词，形容词quick的副词形式为quickly，故填quickly。
5. 前后句为因果关系，前句说明对自身的意义，后句解释原因是对他人生活有影响，故填because。
6. 此处泛指“一个伙伴长椅”，用不定冠词a，故填a。
7. 表示“第一步”，基数词one的序数词形式为first，故填first。
8. a lot of后接可数名词复数，动词discuss的名词复数形式为discussions，故填discussions。
9. 动词helped后接人称代词宾格，主格she的宾格为her，故填her。
10. much修饰形容词比较级，多音节形容词outgoing的比较级为more outgoing，故填more outgoing。
