"What's it like to have a gap between your teeth?" a girl asked me one day. Nobody had ever _. 36 _ before. My hand unconsciously rose to cover my mouth. But, as she looked at me, sincerely waiting for__ 37__, 1 realized she was not trying to be rude. "I never think about it," I truthfully replied. She nodded and turned away. I was left wondering if people _38__ me and saw only gappy teeth. Later that day at home, I began to __39 __ my teeth again. I felt upset. I thought my life would be somehow better if my teeth were not gappy. How I wanted the perfect teeth that everyone else seemed to have! Of course, Mom 40 everything . She has lived her entire life with gappy teeth, and tried to convince me that there was nothing to __41__. When I refused to listen, she told me I could get the surgery to close the gap if it was that important. "Let's be 42__, though," she said. "If everyone got surgeries to become pretty, everyone would be exactly the same. There is beauty in differences." Her __43__ made me consider my teeth seriously. The thought of losing my gap was more terrible than the reality that people were going to notice it. I realized how important it was to me. It is part of my 44 _. Nowadays many people do ridiculous things to realize their dream of "perfection." The__45_ is that no one is perfect. When all potential for ugliness is removed, so is all of the potential for 46__.

本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了我和妈妈对于自己牙齿缝隙不同看法的一则小故事。
小题1:从前没有人这么“问过”。指上文的问题。
小题2:小女孩问完之后,看着我,正真诚地等我“回答”。
小题3:本题干扰选项难排除。重点把握文中and逻辑,空格和saw必定有关,答案looked at;句意为:只剩下我一个人在那里想,是否有人看我时只注意到我的豁牙子呢?look at指看的动作;see指看的结果。
小题4:因后有again提示,故往前搜索,会发现对应wondering解题,答案consider为最佳;
小题5:妈妈“注意到”了这一切。这里指妈妈发现了我的变化。
小题6:她想让我相信长个豁牙子没有什么可担忧的
小题7:让我们诚实点。这里指不必刻意地追求美,有个豁牙子没什么,不必掩饰,要诚实点。
小题8:这里指上一段妈妈说的话。
小题9:它是我独特性的一部分。长个豁牙子正显示了我的独特。
小题10:事实上没有人是完美的。“事实真相”相当于their dream of “perfection”而言。
小题11:答案为beauty。有however,为转折逻辑。解题关键是要认识ugliness。一旦失去了丑的可能,美的可能也会失去。此处beauty和ugliness是对立的概念。
小题12:asked about之前出现过,因而答案为again;文章开头提到小女孩问问题,所以这里说如果这个小女孩“再次”问的话,我会如实回答。
