4. 主题：意外之后更坚强

    When twelve-year-old John Wilson walked into his chemistry class on a rainy day in late October 1931, he had no way of knowing that his life was about to change completely. The class1 that day was to show how2 a container (容器) of water would bring oxygen bubbles (氧气泡) to the surface. The container the teacher gave John to heat,3, was not like the containers students had used before, because the laboratory assistant put the wrong label (标签) on the bottle. And 4 John heated it with a Bunsen burner, the container exploded (爆炸), sending the hot water5 in all directions. John Wilson came away from it, completely6.

    Wilson spent the next two months in hospital. After he returned home, his parents went through a7 time to find ways to deal with the accident that had happened to their lives. But Wilson did not8 the accident as a disaster. He knew he had the rest of his life to live. He learned Braille (盲文) quickly and continued his9 at the Worcester College for the disabled. There, he not only10 as a top student but also became an excellent swimmer, actor, public speaker and musician.

    Many people, faced with the11 John Wilson met with, would have12 about their experience. Perhaps they would have considered themselves to be disabled and don't have enough13 to do anything meaningful with their lives. Wilson, however, through his14 and life attitude, proved to us finally that it's not what happens to us that15 our lives — it's how we look upon what happens.

【解析】

1．答案：A 句意：那天的课堂实验是展示如何加热盛水容器，使氧气泡浮到水面。experiment（实验）；discussion（讨论）；exercise（锻炼 / 练习）；game（游戏）。由 “chemistry class”“container of water”“laboratory assistant” 等细节可知，这是化学课上的实验，而不是讨论、练习或游戏。

2. 答案：C 句意：那天的课堂实验是展示如何加热盛水容器，使氧气泡浮到水面。taking out（取出）；turning over（翻转）；heating up（加热）；picking up（捡起）。后文明确提到 “John heated it with a Bunsen burner”，说明实验核心操作是加热水，使气泡上浮。拓展：take out的其他含义还有：取出；拿出，例如：Please take out your books.请拿出你们的书。带（某人）出去（吃饭、游玩等），例如：I’ll take you out for dinner.我带你出去吃晚饭。（从银行）提取（钱），例如：I took out 500 yuan from the bank.我从银行取了 500 元。除掉；去掉，例如：The dentist took out my bad tooth.牙医拔掉了我的坏牙。（美）外卖；打包带走（英式常用take away），例如：Let’s get take out.我们点外卖吧。turn的短语很多，常见的有：turn up（把音量、亮度等）调高，调大，出现；turn down 调低，拒绝；turn on打开；turn off关闭；turn to转向某人；turn around 转身；one’s turn轮到某人；take turns轮流。pick up的含义很丰富，常见的有：捡起，例如：pick the apple up 捡起苹果；复习，例如：You should pick up your English.你应该复习英语。接收节目，例如：If you want to improve your listening skills, you’d better pick up English programs.如果你想提高听力，你最好收听英语节目。接送，例如，Her father always picks her up at the school gate.她爸爸总是在校门口接她。

3. 答案：D 句意：然而，老师给约翰加热的容器和学生们以前用过的不一样，因为实验室助理在瓶子上贴错了标签。although（虽然，引导让步状语从句）；instead（代替），常见搭配instead of 代替；besides（而且）；however（然而，表转折，可置于句中，前后用逗号隔开）。前文说要做常规实验，后文说容器贴错标签导致意外，语义存在转折，且空后有逗号，故选 however。

4. 答案：A 句意：当约翰用本生灯加热它时，容器爆炸了，热水向四面八方飞溅。as（当…… 时候，引导时间状语从句，强调两个动作同时发生）；until（直到）；once（一旦）；before（在…… 之前）。“加热” 和 “爆炸” 是几乎同时发生的连续动作，用 as 引导时间状语从句最贴合语境。

5. 答案：B 句意：当约翰用本生灯加热它时，容器爆炸了，热水向四面八方飞溅。dropping（落下）；flying（飞，飞溅）；lying（躺 / 说谎）；staying（停留）。爆炸的冲击力会使液体向四周飞溅，flying 最能体现这一物理场景。

6.答案：D 句意：约翰・威尔逊从事故中离开后，完全失明了。dead（死的），动词形式为die, 名词形式为death；broken（破碎的），原形为break，过去式broke；deaf（聋的）；blind（盲的，失明的）。后文提到 “He learned Braille (盲文) quickly”，学习盲文是失明的典型标志，故选 blind。

13.答案：C句意：也许他们会认为自己是残疾的，没有足够的勇气去做有意义的事。money（钱）；time（时间）；courage（勇气）；place（地方）。面对残疾，人们往往缺乏的是勇气去继续追求有意义的生活，而非金钱、时间或空间。
