Kevin, 61(I) fifth-grade son, once asked me about the meaning of a word in a novel. "Look it up," I responded. "But my screen time is off," he said,62(sigh) dramatically. Suddenly it occurred to me63he did not even know how to use a dictionary. I took down one of the dictionaries and read it with him64a few minutes. It took him a few65(try) to find the word. While66(go) through the pages, he kept asking67(curiosity) questions. I had my first dictionary as68gift for my 13th birthday, and I marked every entry I looked69with a pencil. The dictionary70 (steal) at the end of my freshman year, but the curiosity it planted in me never left.

第一关 1–5：B B A B A　6–8：A A B

1. occur to sb. 固定搭配"想到"。happen to 是"碰巧"，appear 接不了 that 从句表"想到"，直接排除。
2. 都 turned away（转身走了）还能笑能喊？只能是叹气。
3. 新广告一出，销量当然是"猛涨"，选 dramatically。barely / slightly 一个"几乎不"一个"略微"，跟语境对着干。
4. 申请表要一份份"仔细过一遍" → go through。go over 是复习，go by 是时间流逝，go about 是着手干，全排除。
5. 名词 entry 作定语：dictionary entry 词条。考的就是 enter → entry 这个变形。
6. 说不出话 + 盯着魔术师 → 瞪圆了眼 wide-eyed。
7. take measures to do，固定搭配还必须用复数。weigh 是动词"称重"，来捣乱的。
8. an appetite for knowledge 求知欲，develop（培养）搭它最顺。

第二关：9. look up　10. occur to sb.　11. go through　12. in question　13. make it through　14. out of curiosity

第三关参考：

15. It suddenly occurred to me that my schoolbag was still in the classroom.
16. It took him several tries to learn to ride a bike.
17. It wasn't the grades that changed me, but that conversation.（写成 It was that conversation, not the grades, that changed me. 也算你赢）

第四关：61. my　62. sighing　63. that　64. for　65. tries　66. going　67. curious　68. a　69. up　70. was stolen

61. 修饰 son，物主代词 my。
62. 一边说一边叹气，现在分词作伴随状语 sighing。
63. It occurred to me 后面 that 引导主语从句，it 是形式主语。
64. for + 时间段，"一起读了几分钟"。
65. a few 接可数名词复数，try 在这儿是名词，tries。
66. 状语从句省略 while (he was) going，上篇句型 4 原题复刻。
67. 修饰名词 questions 用形容词 curious，别手滑写 curiosity。
68. 泛指"一份礼物"，gift 辅音开头，用 a。
69. look up 分离式搭配，up 是那个副词。
70. 字典"被偷"，一般过去时被动 was stolen。

终极关：71 A　72 D　73 C　74 B

71. "screen time is off"（屏幕被没收）+ "Can't you just use your phone?"（让我用你手机呗）→ 平时查词全靠电子设备，A。
72. 眼睛瞪圆 + "怎么可能有这么多词" → 惊讶 astonished，选 D。别选 A 的同学注意：annoyed 是翻字典之前的事，题目问的是"查的时候"。
73. 一支铅笔标了好多年的记号 = 进步的刻度 → 字典"见证了她的努力"，C。A 是大坑：作者亲口说过 "it wasn't the dictionary that got me there"，别跟作者对着干。
74. 末段 not... but... 直接给答案：不是词本身，是 the wanting to know them, the curiosity and the appetite → 说白了，动机才是王道，B 项 Motivation is what really matters 就是它的换装版。
