（2024·南京二模）I do believe that everyone is given a chance in life. My son, Gary, was given his chance with cooking.
We ran a small restaurant and lived over it. From a very early age, Gary would come down and talk to our customers. It has 1 a good start in his life. By the age of ten, Gary was in the 2 every weekend, so he always made some pocket money. He also had a lot of self-discipline(自律). He used to 3 even before me in the morning. If you run a family business, it is nice to see him helping out.
Gary wasn't so good at schoolwork, but he 4 so much in the kitchen. By the age of 15, he was 5 any of the cooks working there, and sometimes he was even left in charge of(负责) the kitchen. He would produce over a hundred meals, and from then on I knew he would go into catering(餐饮业) because he had that talent. So when he came to me and said, "Dad, I'm required to complete work 6 as part of my course at school." I sent him to a friend of mine who has got a restaurant. I believe he could learn more outside.
Recently Gary became interested in playing the drums and now he has his own band. Who knows what will happen to the cooking 7 the music takes off? My advice to Gary would be: If you start hunting two rabbits, you end up catching 8 so hunt the rabbit you know you're going to catch. He understood when I said to him, "Gary, if you're going to get anywhere in life, you've got to do it by the age of 30. If you haven't done it by then, it's too 9."
None of us can believe that Gary's TV cookery series has become such a great success.
I'm really 10 him. I've always tried to tell him that if you want something, you've got to work hard for it, because nobody gives you anything. He has seen the chance he has been given and caught hold of it with both hands.

从方框中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项多余。
（2024·九江一模）Chinese scientists have discovered a new water reservoir(蓄水池) on the moon in the form of glass beads(玻璃珠). The glass beads might help with astronauts' work in the future.
China's Chang'e-5 lunar probe collected something from the moon. Scientists found glass beads were hiding in it and that they held water.
$\underline{1}$ They are created when small things moving in space hit the moon's surface. Even though each glass bead only holds a little water, there are so many of them on the moon that scientists think there might be 270 billion metric tons of water on the moon!
This is a very important discovery. Scientists thought the moon was completely dry.
$\underline{2}$ This finding helps scientists understand more about how water is stored in space.
Do you know what is even more exciting? This discovery could help people in the future. Scientists think it might be useful for planning to build homes for humans on other planets.
$\underline{3}$
However, some problems have to be solved. The first problem is where exactly the water on the moon comes from.
$\underline{4}$ Others believe it might have gotten trapped when the moon was hot. Another idea is that other objects or planets brought the water to the moon.
Using these special glass beads to support future tasks about the moon sounds like a great idea, right?
$\underline{5}$—we need to find out how to turn these glass beads into water in space.
Isn't it fascinating to learn about all these discoveries? There's still so much to find out in space!
A. Isn't that amazing?
B. Why are there glass beads?
C. But now they know it's not!
D. But there's also another problem.
E. What will the moon be like in the future?
F. Some scientists think it could be from the solar wind.

1.B 2.C 3.A 4.F 5.D

【分析】
本题为中考信息还原题，解题思路如下：首先通读全文，把握文章主旨（中国科学家在月球发现玻璃珠形式的新蓄水池，以及该发现的意义和待解决的问题）；接着分析每个空白处前后的语境逻辑（如设问、转折、承接、举例等），结合选项内容匹配最佳答案，注意排除多余选项。
【解析】
1. 空白后句子解释了玻璃珠的形成原因，因此空白处应是关于玻璃珠存在原因的设问，对应选项B（Why are there glass beads?），故1选B。
2. 空白前提到科学家原以为月球完全干燥，空白后说明该发现帮助理解太空水存储，此处为转折关系，对应选项C（But now they know it's not!），故2选C。
3. 空白前强调发现对未来人类建家园的作用，此处承接前文的兴奋情绪，对应选项A（Isn't that amazing?），故3选A。
4. 空白前提出月球水来源的问题，空白后提及其他观点，此处应是某科学家的观点，对应选项F（Some scientists think it could be from the solar wind.），故4选F。
5. 空白前提到利用玻璃珠支持月球任务的想法，空白后说明需要解决转化问题，此处引出另一个问题，对应选项D（But there's also another problem.），故5选D。
