When I was a college student, I lived in England. During the college time, one of my tasks was to help children with special 1.
I was chosen to work in a school with the disabled children. The teacher asked me to look 2 Nancy, a 10-year-old girl. One of 3 hands could not move. At her school, the teachers would think it was an achievement 4 she was able to put on her own coat. But I saw more in her. She had always wanted to put a string(细绳) 5 the hole of a key.
For the five years Nancy was in the school, the teachers always 6 to help her but always ended up 7 all the work for her. I knew Nancy could do 8, so I encouraged her to do something by herself. At first Nancy often failed and became 9. Sometimes I wanted to give up, too. 10, after a week Nancy was able to do 11 she had wanted to do alone for so many years. Her teacher cried with 12 when she saw what she was able to do with just a little encouragement.
Disabled people should 13 be told they can't do something. With just some encouragement they can do it. The 14 on that girl's face when she was able to do it herself meant a lot to me. I hope everyone will encourage people to do all they want by themselves 15 telling them they can't do it.

一、【短文大意】本文作者以自己的亲身经历告诉我们：有时候一句简单的鼓励就会为他人带来无穷的力量。因此，作者建议大家要经常鼓励别人，而不是打击他们的积极性。
1. C 【解析】根据下文“I was chosen to work in a school with disabled children.”可知，此处表示“帮助有特殊需求的孩子”。
2. A 【解析】根据语境可知，老师要求作者去照顾十岁的女孩南茜。look after意为“照顾”；look for意为“寻找”；look at意为“朝……看”；look over意为“查看，检查”。
3. B 【解析】根据南茜是个女孩可知，此处选her。
4. C 【解析】上文提到“南茜的一只手不能动”，故此处表示“老师认为如果她能自己穿上外套的话就是一件了不起的事情”。故填if引导条件状语从句。
5. A 【解析】根据空后的“the hole of a key”可知，此处应选through，表示“在空间内部通过”。
6. D 【解析】根据语境可知，每次在学校里老师都尽力帮助南茜。
7. C 【解析】end up doing sth.意为“以做某事结束”，为固定用法。
8. B 【解析】根据空后的“...so I encouraged her to do something by herself.”可知，作者相信南茜能做得更多，因此她鼓励南茜亲自完成事情。
9. D 【解析】根据“Nancy often failed”可知，起初南茜经常失败，因此她经常感到很沮丧。
10. B 【解析】前后句之间表转折关系，并且所填词与后面内容用逗号隔开，故选However。
11. C 【解析】一周之后，南茜做成了这么多年来她一直想独立做的事情。所填词引导宾语从句，且在从句中作do的宾语，意为“什么”。
12. B 【解析】老师看南茜因受到一点点的鼓励就能独立完成事情，自然感到很高兴。
13. A 【解析】根据后面的“With just some encouragement”可知，残疾人不应该被告知不能做一些事情，相反，应该给他们一些鼓励。
14. C 【解析】南茜独立完成一些事情后的表情应该是露出笑脸，故选smile。
15. A 【解析】此处表示“我希望每个人都鼓励他人亲自去做自己想做的事情，而不是告诉他们不能”。故选instead of，意为“而不是”。
