There had to be a __40__．‎ One day，when I went into the classroom，I saw that Suzy had __41__ her geography book to a picture of a train，and in her notebook, she had made a(n)‎ ‎ __42__copy.‎ I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming __43__show.So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker，and showed her what Suzy had __44___. “Why, it's wonderful，” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted __45__ the talent show.“I need more of these, but I just don't have enough __46__．Could you help me, Suzy？”‎ On the day of the talent show, Suzy's __47__ were everywhere—all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.‎ ‎“And finally，” said Mr Brown，the schoolmaster，at the end of the show, “we have a(n)__48__ award.I'm sure you've all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded.“One of our own students __49__ them.”‎ I could hear everyone whispering.“Who in our school could draw __50__ well？”‎ Mr Brown waited a while before saying，“__51__ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a __52__， too.Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student—Suzy Khan！”‎ Mr Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist's set.“Thank you，” she cried.‎ I__53__， at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she'd probably never __54__ anything in her whole life.‎ Everyone started to __55__ their hands.Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening.I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.‎ ‎36．A.joked B．cared C．forgot D．worried ‎37．A.reported B．decided C．complained D．questioned ‎38．A.rich B．proud C．tiny D．popular ‎39．A.come B．fall C．fit D．tie ‎40．A.manner B．pattern C．choice D．way ‎41．A.read B．taken C．opened D．put ‎42．A.free B．perfect C．final D．extra ‎43．A.art B．talk C．quiz D．talent ‎44．A.coloured B．written C．carved D．drawn ‎45．A.at B．after C．for D．around ‎46．A.room B．time C．paper D．interest ‎47．A.gifts B．books C．photos D．posters ‎48．A.special B．academic C．national D．royal ‎49．A.painted B．found C．printed D．collected ‎50．A.very B．that C．quite D．too ‎51．A.If B．Though C．Unless D．Since ‎52．A.prize B．rank C．rest D．place ‎53．A.replied B．realized C．remembered D．regretted ‎54．A.offered B．valued C．owned D．controlled ‎55．A.clap B．wave C．raise D．shake ‎【要点综述】 本文讲了一个来自非洲的儿童Suzy被美国家庭收养，为了让孩子了解美国生活，他们把孩子送进学校和美国孩子一起学习，但那些美国孩子却经常嘲笑她。一次偶然的机会，“我”发现了她的绘画才能，并把她介绍给艺术老师。艺术老师也认同她的绘画才能，让她帮自己制作才艺秀的海报。在才艺秀结束的时候，校长颁发给Suzy一个特殊的奖项，同学们也接纳了她。‎ ‎36. A　班里的男孩子会拿她开玩笑，然后就是哄堂大笑。而她也只好眼含泪水地假装看书。joke about 拿……开玩笑；care about介意，在乎；forget about忘记；worry about为……担忧。根据语境可知选A。‎ ‎37. B　这个非洲孤儿被美国家庭收养，美国家庭决定(认定)和美国孩子在一起才能让她学会美国的生活方式。decide这里是“认定，断定”的意思。report报告，报道；complain抱怨，投诉；question质疑，提问。‎ ‎38. C　根据上文叙述，这个女孩比同龄12岁的孩子都要瘦小，所以“我”低头看着这个小小的女孩子，下决心无论如何都要帮助她。rich富有的；proud骄傲的；popular流行的，受欢迎的。A、B、D三项显然都不符合语境。tiny ＝very small。故选C。‎ ‎39. C　“我”打算帮助这个女孩与大家融洽相处。文章标题已给出提示。fit in with(与……)合得来，适应。‎ ‎40. D　根据上文“我”决定帮助小女孩与大家融洽相处，所以“我”必须寻找一个方法。manner做事或行为方式，多指行动的特殊方式或独特的方法；pattern模式，花样，图案；choice选择；way“方式，方法，手段”，可指一般的方法，有时也指个人的方法或方式。因为这里没有谈到什么方法，所以只能用笼统的方法way。‎ ‎41. C　Suzy把书打开到火车图片那里。open…to“把……翻到”，to是介词，表达“到……地方”。‎ ‎42. B　根据下文提示“‘Why, it's wonderful…’”可知，她对火车图的复制，效果非常好，与此题选项中的perfect意思相近。‎ ‎43. D　根据后文提示the talent show可知这是一个才艺秀。‎ ‎44. D　根据上文可知Suzy在画火车，所以“我”把她画的东西展示给艺术老师看。colour涂色和染色；write书写；carve雕刻；draw画。‎ ‎45. C　根据文章内容，这里是老师拿出一张为“才艺秀”做的海报。for意为“为……”。‎ ‎46. B ‎　由该空前面的more和空后的help两个词可知，老师还需要更多的海报，但老师“没有足够的时间”，所以才请Suzy帮忙制作。‎ ‎47. D　艺术老师想让Suzy帮忙制作一些海报，所以，才艺秀当天应该到处都能看到Suzy制作的海报。‎ ‎48. A　才艺秀当天大家都表演了，还要颁发一个特殊的奖项给制作海报的人，因为制作海报原本不是才艺秀的内容。‎ ‎49. A　句意：我们一个学生画了这些海报。可以使用paint一词，表示绘画。‎ ‎50. B　so表示“那么，那样”，修饰形容词或副词，也可以使用that，两者意思相近。that well＝so well。‎ ‎51. D　因为这位同学如此努力地画了这些海报，所以值得奖励。since＝now that/because。‎ ‎52. A　因为努力画了这些海报，这位同学值得奖励。prize奖励；rank等级，秩序；rest休息；place地点，位置。‎ ‎53. B　作者意识到Suzy从来没有拥有过什么，这些成就和别人的承认第一次让她意识到自己的重要性。reply回答；realize意识到；remember回忆；regret后悔，遗憾。‎ ‎54. C　因为是外来的移民，没有融入大家的生活中，这次活动让大家看到了Suzy拥有的东西。‎ ‎55. A　因为Suzy画得好，得到了校长表扬，也得到了大家的认可，所以大家为她鼓掌。clap one's hands鼓掌。‎ ‎【三】‎ In 2012, I had just recovered from a serious illness when I received an invitation to a writer's conference in Orlando, Florida. My family persuaded me that a(n)__36__ might be just what the doctor ordered, so off I __37__．‎ Arriving in the Sunshine State was rather tiring, but I __38__ to catch a taxi to my__39__ and settle in.

After a while she said，“My dear, don't use any more taxis.

He always puts our happiness 32 his own, and never fails to cheer me on at my sports games 33 his exhaustion after long days. His loving and selfless nature has inspired me to become more sympathetic and 34 , putting others first.‎ Dad, the life 35 I have learned from you will stay with me forever.

Even though I was used to regular insults (侮辱) because of the 11 on my head, it was 12 horrible to hear. I sighed as I was headed back to the class.‎ When I was just 20 months old, I suffered serious 13 after a bowl full hot oil fell on my head. I was 14 to hospital and had to stay there for weeks while the doctors 15 to save my life. “Holly’s very 16 to be alive,” they told Mum and Dad. “But she’ll be 17 with scars on her head, and of course her hair won’t grow there.”‎ As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I 18 wore a scarf to cover them up when I left home. 19 I didn’t, people would call me horrible names like Baldy. Although my friends were always comforting me, they never 20 understood how it felt.‎ Then through the hospital I was 21 to a children’s burns camp, where children like me can get any help. There, I 22 14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious than mine. But she is so 23 that she never lets anyone put her down. “You shouldn’t 24 what people say about what you look like because we’re not different from anyone else, Holly,” she 25 me. “And you don’t need to wear a scarf because you look great 26 it!” For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who’d been through something 27 .

C。根据首句baldy（秃头）和第二段with scars on her head可知作者头上能看到的应该是‘疤痕’，因此选项C正确。‎ ‎12. A。根据句首的even though（即使），此处应为转折关系。 根据句意：‘即使已经习惯了被人这样侮辱，但听到时仍旧会感到伤心难过’，可推知A项正确。‎ ‎13. D。根据a bowl full hot oil fell on my head，可知作者受的是‘烫伤’，因此D选项正确。 ‎ ‎14. A。根据上句作者‘受了严重烫伤’，推断出应该被‘迅速’送往医院，因此A选项正确。 ‎ ‎15. B。根据句中to save my life，可知‘挽救生命’如同一场‘战斗’，因此B选项正确。‎ ‎16. B。根据上一句‘医生在全力抢救生命’可知，作者能够活下来应该是‘很幸运的’，因此B选项正确。‎ ‎17. C。第二段提到‘一碗热汤倒在了头上’，那么肯定会‘留下’疤痕了，所以选项C正确。‎ ‎18. B。因为‘在乎头上的疤痕’，所以应该‘总是’戴上头巾来遮掩，所以选项B正确。‎ ‎19. C。根据前一句可知，作者出门总是会‘戴上头巾’，这里的didn’t显然是指‘不戴’，所以可知本句的意思应该是：‘如果’不戴，人们就……，因此选项C正确。‎ ‎20. D。从第4段的For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who’d been through something similar（在我的生活中第一次可以和一个与我有相似经历的人交谈）可以得知之前没有人能够‘感同身受地、真正地’理解她。因此可知正确选项为D。‎ ‎21. B。根据固定搭配。be introduced … to … 意思是‘把……介绍给……’，根据句意：通过医院，我被介绍参加了一个儿童烧伤营，可知选项B正确。‎ ‎22. A。根据前句可知作者去了一个儿童烧伤营，所以，她在那里应该是‘遇到’了一个女孩，因此可知选项A正确。‎ ‎23. B。根据句中she never lets anyone put her down （她从来不让任何人将她击败）可知她是个‘意志坚强’的女孩，因此选项B正确。 ‎ ‎24. D。考察短语词义。根据what people say about（人们说什么），可知是不要‘听’，因此选项D正确。‎ ‎25. B。根据上下文中的句子we’re not different from anyone else（我们同其他人没有任何不同）和you look great（你看上去棒极了）可知，Stephanie是在鼓励作者，因此选项B正确。‎ ‎26. C。根据you don’t need to wear a scarf（你没有必要戴头巾）可知Stephanie要表达的是‘不戴’头巾看上去也很棒，因此选项C正确。‎ ‎27. A。根据上下文可知作者是在儿童烧伤营，这里都是有着类似经历的孩子，因此可知选项A正确。 ‎ ‎28. D。根据上下文可知作者受到了Stephanie的激励，下决心勇敢地接受自己，因此选项D正确。‎ ‎29. A。根据前句show off the scars （亮出疤痕）和not having to … behind my scarf可知应该是‘不必再躲藏在围巾的后面’因此选项A正确。‎ ‎30. D。考查短语词义。be proud of , 意思是‘为……感到骄傲、自豪’，根据上下文可知作者不再为自己的容貌感到自卑，因此选项D正确。选项B be aware of （意识到……），选项A be sick of（讨厌……）和选项C be tired of （厌倦……）均与句意不符。 ‎ ‎【六】‎ I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people 36 I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a 37 person. ‎ I think my 38 started when I was at Palomar College.

It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So tried a(n) 42 . I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I 43 to help.

Her real daughter never 49 her, so I took her place. She le t me 50 that making others feel good make me feel good, too, when she died, I was 51 , but I was very grateful to her. ‎ I think I am a much 52 person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not 53 these experiences.

C。根据固定搭配解题。get to 到达；introduce… to 介绍…给…；lead to 通向； move to 朝…移动。本句要表达的是道路与房子的关系，应该是这条路通向那所房子，所以选择C。‎ ‎50．D。根据上下文语境解题。上句提到她focused on the path and then on the house itself， 说明她仔细观察了这条道路和那所房子。仔细观察后应该有所发现，这里是指小女孩亲眼见到的一切，所以选择D。‎ ‎51．C。根据句间逻辑关系解题。前面说到she was very disappointed和下面提到very dirty，这些都是选择本题答案的依据，既然disappointed， 就说明这所房子远没有她当初想象得好，很一般，很普通。所以选择C。‎ ‎52．D。根据上下文语境解题。上段提到了小女孩disappointed, 本句中又有heart-broken,由此可推断小女孩很伤心和难过(sad),所以选择D。‎ ‎53．A。根据下文提示解题。下文提到There on the other side of the valley…可知这里指“小女孩转过身，回头看”，所以选择A。‎ ‎54. D。根据上下文语境解题。下文提到There on the other side of the valley was a little house and its windows were golden. 这是小女孩回头所看到的的景象，所以选择D。‎ ‎55.C。根据生活常识和上下文提示解题。这里指小女孩通过自己的亲身经历明白了一个道理，原来自己一直住在一座充满了关爱的金色的房子里。也就是她意识到了这一点，所以答案选择C。‎ ‎【八】‎ I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭)，credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 36 chasing the same thing.‎ One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell 37 . I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I 38 the countryside for some place I could rent for the 39 possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road 40 the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was 41 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and 42 a corner to camp in.‎ The locals knew nothing about me, 43 slowly, they started teaching me the 44 of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 45 around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a 46 American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of 47 .‎ What I had believed in, all those things I thought were 48 for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. 49 on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my 50 with my neighbors.‎ Four years later, I moved back into 51 . I saw many people were having a really hard time, 52 their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to 53 a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in 54 if we hadn’t banded together.‎ The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about 55 we can all get by together.‎ ‎36.

A。根据上文提示和语法知识解题。由第二段中“I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road”可知房子在山上，可知选up。‎ ‎50．B ‎。根据上下文语境解题。句意：在这个山上，我最珍贵的财产是我和邻居们的关系（relationships）。其余三项分别意为：合作；满意；约会，均不符合语境。‎ ‎51．C。 根据上下文语境解题。根据第二段的“I _38_the countryside for some place”可知作者到乡村找地方租住，现在是“I moved back into”，当然是搬回到城里（town）了。其余三项分别意为：现实；社会；生活，均不符合语境。‎ ‎52．B。根据句内逻辑关系解题。前面说“many people were having a really hard time”，许多人正过着相当艰难的生活，可知是失去（losing）了工作和家。creating:创造；offering：提供，明显不符合语境；quitting只能和jobs搭配，不能和homes搭配。‎ ‎53．C。根据语法知识解题。本题考查动词词组含义。四个选项分别意为：放进，提交，申请；上交，拐入，告发；让…进入，接受，理解，吸入，欺骗；进入，到达，收获，被录取。此处说作者设法租了一个足够大的房子来让一些人住进来，因此选C。get in是主动进入，不符合语境。‎ ‎54．B。 根据上文语境和语法知识解题。此处说：如果我们不团结在一起，我们都会流落到住收容所（shelters）的地步。其余三项分别意为：庭院；帐篷；小屋，村舍，均不符合语境。‎ ‎55．D。 根据语法知识和语境解题。句意：美国梦不是关于我能为自己得到什么，而是关于我们所有人如何能够一起度过难关。about后面的从句不缺主语、宾语、表语，因此不选what；也没有是否(whether)的意思；也没有涉及时间问题（when），因此只能选how.‎ ‎【九】‎ Leaping on a narrow balance beam（平衡木） is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.‎ To perfect her skills, Lola 36 for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.‎ That’s especially impressive. 37 she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t 38 how far away things are.‎ When she was little, her mom 39 that even though she couldn’t see 40 , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the 41 right away and gymnastics became her favorite.‎ Though learning gymnastics has been more 42 for her than for some of her ‎ tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her 43 stop her from doing anything that she wants to.‎ She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest 44 is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees to beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to 45 your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola.‎ To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most 46 for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall 47 the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.‎ Lola doesn’t want to be 48 differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision 49 . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her 50 attitude.‎ Lola never thinks about 51 . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her 52 is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids 53 she grew up.‎ Lola is 54 of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her 55 for others is “just believe yourself”.‎ ‎36. A. runs B. teaches C. trains D. dances ‎37.
