Question

One day, our teacher, Mr. Sims, announced that the destination of the seventh?grade field trip would be the amusement park. The classroom buzzed with ____ as the girls discussed what they would wear and what they should bring with them. I sat back and listened, ____ that my parents did not have the money to send me. It made me ____ to feel so left?out. But not Danny. He ____ told everyone that he wouldn't be going. When Mr. Sims asked him why, Danny stood up and ___， “It's too much money for me right now. My dad hurt his back and has been out of ____ for a while. I can't ask my parents for money.”

Sitting back down in his seat, Danny held his head up proudly, even though ____ had begun. I could only shrink in my ____， and surely those whispers must be about me if they found out I would not be going either.

“Danny, I'm very proud of you for understanding the ____ that your parents are in. Not every student of your ____ has that ability，” Mr. Sims replied.

____ not everyone accepted Danny after that day, he won ____the respect of many of us. I was especially ____ by how he didn't back down under peer pressure. For so long, I could never ____ to my friends that I couldn't afford to go there. ____， in order to continue to ____ in, I lied about why I couldn't do things and ____ with excuse after excuse.

By standing up and admitting he was poor, Danny changed my life. His self?confidence made it ____ for all of us to understand that what his parents had or didn't have did not ____ who he was.

【解析】作者通過一件事情告訴大家勇氣和誠實是一個人獲得尊重的重要因素。

1.答案：B　當(dāng)老師宣布我們七年級實地考察旅行的目的地是游樂園時，整個教室由于女孩們討論她們要穿什么衣服和帶什么樣的東西而充滿了興奮的嗡嗡聲。故excitement符合語境，意思是“激動，興奮”。amazement“吃驚，驚奇”；disappointment“失望”；encouragement“鼓勵”，均不符合語境。

2.2】答案：B　“我”知道(knowing)“我”的父母沒有錢讓“我”參加這個活動，“我”只能坐在后面聽。

3.3】答案：A　根據(jù)空后面的“to feel so left?out”可知，depressed“沮喪的，消沉的”符合語境。

4.4】答案：C　Danny只告訴大家他不去了。simply“僅僅，只”，符合語境。

5.5】答案：D　當(dāng)老師問他為什么不去時，Danny站起來陳述了原因。state的意思是“陳述，說明”，符合語境。

6.6】答案：A　根據(jù)文中的“too much money”“My dad hurt his back”以及“I can't ask my parents for money.”可以判斷出Danny的父親失業(yè)(out of work)了。

7.7】答案：C　根據(jù)8空后面的“those whispers”可以判斷出，此處應(yīng)用whispering。

8.8】答案：D　根據(jù)2空前面的“I sat back”可知，此處應(yīng)用seat。

9.9】答案：A　“Danny，我為你能理解你父母的處境(situation)而感到自豪。并不是每一個像你這么大的學(xué)生都有那樣的能力。”20空前的situation是提示。

10.0】答案：B　參見上題解析。age“年齡”，符合語境。

11.1】答案：D　雖然(Although)在那天之后，并不是每個人都接納了Danny。

12.2】答案：C　但他卻贏得了我們中許多人的尊重。win over的意思是“獲得，贏得”，故答案為C項。win back“重新獲得”，win out“擺脫困境”。

13.3】答案：C　be impressed by意思是“對……印象深刻”，符合語境。

14.4】答案：B　作者從來沒有向他的朋友承認(rèn)(admit)他沒有錢去。

15.5】答案：C　根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知，這里表示“相反”的意思，故答案為C項。

16.6】.答案：D　相反，為了相處融洽，“我”向他們?nèi)鲋e“我”為什么不能做那些事情，編造一個接一個的借口。fit in“相處融洽，適應(yīng)”，符合語境。

17.7】答案：A　參見上題解析。come up with意思是“提出，想出”，符合語境。

18.8】答案：B　Danny的自信使我們大家更容易(easier)理解……

19.9】答案：C　根據(jù)語境可知，他的父母擁有什么或沒有什么，這并不能決定(determine)他是誰。

20.20】答案：D　與其說是Danny出色的外表，倒不如說是他的勇氣和誠實，使他成為“我”永遠(yuǎn)無法忘記的人。more...than...的意思是“與其說……倒不如說……”。故答案為D項。
