[2025 南充高级中学高一期中]It was my birthday, and I was celebrating it as usual: by watching the August meteor (流星) shower. But this year was _66_. I studied for my graduate degree in pharmacy, a path I had _67_ for years. Yet as I watched the shooting stars cross the sky, I began to _68_ that choice. Later I met people in _69_ I'd never considered — brain science, history and astronomy. Could my lifelong interest in stars be more than a _70_?
Growing up in a small town, I was driven to _71_ my education and become a pharmacist. This year's meteor shower and those people I met awakened me, making me consider whether to _72_ my major or leap into something new.
Another event I experienced helped me _73_: a solar eclipse (日食). As the moon _74_ slid in front of the sun, the world around me became dark. The water was still and I found _75_ inside, a deep and calming silence washing over me. I _76_ what I should do. I dropped out to explore previously _77_ subjects.
The next years were _78_ — I worked various part-time jobs. Through my tireless efforts, I eventually began a PhD program in astronomy. Now, about to kick off my final year, I realize my _79_ for the universe gave me a great gift. It freed me from allowing possible worries or self-doubt to _80_ in the way of realizing new dreams.

答案： 66.D 作者多年来都以同样方式庆祝生日,But的转折说明今年是不同的。根据下文作者开始质疑自己的药学研究道路可知,今年只是不同的,不是令人失望的。disappointing“令人失望的”;ordinary“普通的”。
67.B 根据下文的“Growing up in a small town... become a pharmacist”可知,作者被驱使成为药剂师,因此此处攻读药学研究生学位是作者一直计划的事情。avoid“避免”。
68.C 根据下文的“Could my lifelong interest in stars be more than a 70 ?”和“making me consider... leap into something new”可知,作者开始质疑自己选择的药学这条路。improve“改善”;question“质疑”。
69.D 根据下文的“brain science, history and astronomy”可知,这些是不同的领域。
70.A 根据下文的“began a PhD program in astronomy”可知,作者后来从事天文学研究,故此处指作者思考自己对星星的兴趣是否有可能不只作为爱好。responsibility“职责”。
71.D 根据下文的become a pharmacist可知,从小作者被驱使完成学业、成为药剂师。design“设计”;postpone“推迟”;complete“完成”。
72.C 根据下文的“or leap into something new”可知,此处指作者思考坚持自己现在的专业还是转向新的领域。take over“接管”;give up“放弃”;stick to“坚持”;rely on“依靠”。
73.A 语境表明作者对自己的专业道路产生了质疑,根据下文的“I 76 what I should do. I dropped out to explore previously 77 subjects”可知,另一个天文事件帮助作者做出了决定。
74.D 根据上文的“a solar eclipse(日食)”以及常识可知,日食发生时月亮是逐渐从太阳前面经过的。mistakenly“错误地”;accidentally“意外地”;generally“一般地”;gradually“逐渐地”。
75.B 根据上文的“The water was still”和下文的“a deep and calming silence washing over me”可知,水面静止,一种深沉而令人平静的静谧感涌向作者,作者找到了内心的平静。gratitude“感激”。
76.C 根据下文的“I dropped out to explore previously 77 subjects”可知,作者做出了决定,所以知道自己该做什么了。wonder“想知道”;care“在意”。
77.A 根据上文作者投身天文学领域,再结合上文的“in 69 I’d never considered — brain science, history and astronomy”可知,这是作者之前未想过的学科。unimagined“想不到的”;unwanted“不需要的”;misunderstood“遭误解的”;mismatched“不般配的”。
78.B 根据下文的“I worked various part-time jobs”可知,作者打各种零工,因此接下来的几年是充满挑战的。confusing“令人困惑的”;challenging“有挑战性的”;satisfying“令人满意的”;interesting“有趣的”。
79.A 根据上文的“my lifelong interest in stars”及作者每年生日都看流星雨可知,此处指作者对宇宙的热爱。
80.B 根据“It freed me from allowing possible worries or self-doubt to 80 in the way of realizing new dreams”及语境可知,对宇宙的热爱给作者送了一份大礼,使作者投身天文学,这份大礼使作者不再让可能的忧虑或自我怀疑阻碍自己实现新梦想。stand in the way of...“阻碍……”。
