When I was twelve years old, my family were the first black people to move into an all-white part of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many of our new 1 weren’t very welcoming. Some of the adults said 2 that we should return where we came from. The 3 sometimes threw stones at me or 4 me home from school.
Most of my teachers 5 ignored me, but not Dorothy Bean, my history teacher. Miss Bean was angry at how badly I was being 6 , but she didn’t say this to me. Miss Bean showed her 7 for me by teaching me just like anyone else. 8 being unnoticed, I was given a 9 to show that I was smart. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me 10 for myself. She insisted on knowing what I thought about difficult 11 . Was Thomas Jefferson right to buy Louisiana from France? Why? She 12 me to have an opinion and to be able to 13 it up. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for oneself was the real 14 to success in learning.
One day, when I was not 15 in class, Miss Bean suddenly threw an eraser at me. Unbelievably, the eraser hit me right on the hand and 16 my pencil flying. The whole class was 17 at first, then started laughing. This incident became famous in the school and, 18 it happened to me, the students wanted to get to 19 me. So that’s the story of how Dorothy Bean made me her target, and how I became just another 20 in school.
1. A. friends B. relatives C. fellows D. neighbors
2. A. kindly B. pitifully C. angrily D. anxiously
3. A. seniors B. children C. enemies D. elders
4. A. drove B. took C. helped D. carried
5. A. hardly B. simply C. suddenly D. widely
6. A. taught B. fooled C. picked D. treated
7. A. dislike B. thanks C. respect D. gifts
8. A. Instead of B. In memory of C. In case of D. In spite of
9. A. question B. chance C. test D. place
10. A. care B. look C. work D. think
11. A. exams B. history C. questions D. books
12. A. got B. forced C. allowed D. expected
13. A. back B. set C. put D. give
14. A. notice B. key C.attention D. attitude
15. A. looking up B. paying attention C. reading aloud D. getting along
16. A. sent B. found C. saw D. kept
17. A. moved B. calmed C. worried D. shocked
18. A. when B. once C. because D. whether
19. A. ask B. know C. punish D. admire
20. A. kid B. problem C. teacher D. example
1. D 由于剛剛搬進(move into)這個白人居住區(qū),所以新結(jié)識的應(yīng)是鄰居。
2. C 因歧視而討厭他們的到來,故憤怒地說。
3. B 對十二歲的“我”扔石頭并把“我”從學校趕回家,這些更像同齡孩子的行為,再與前文中的adults 相對照,可確定此處用children。
4. A 該社區(qū)的孩子對“我”是不友好的,所以不可能做出B、C、D三項中的行為:帶(幫、抬)我回家。Drove是“驅(qū)趕”的意思。
5. B hardly 與 ignored連用,則意為不忽視, 與語境相悖; 從行文邏輯上看此處無須表達“突然”或“廣泛”之意,故排除C、D兩項;simply此處用以加強語氣,相當于just,可譯為“簡直”,“就這么簡單!”。
6. D Miss Bean對“我”受到的不公正的對待表示憤慨。這種不公正的對待既來自一些教師,也來自一些學生。另外,教師對“我”的不公正對待主要表現(xiàn)為不提問、不關(guān)心(ignored),但并不等同于不好好教,故排除A項。B、C兩項離題較遠,不難排除。
7. C 本題考查在語境中選詞的能力。前文說作者受到了不公正的待遇,受人歧視,Miss Bean對此感到憤怒。她通過像教別人一樣教“我”表達她的一種感情,這種感情與別人 的相反:別人歧視,我尊重。
8 A 此處講述的是“我”在Miss Bean課堂上受到的對待:不是被忽視,而是被給表現(xiàn)的機會。
9. B 參見上題。
10. D 答案依據(jù)在下文:Miss Bean努力引導“我”養(yǎng)成獨立思考的習慣。
11. C 下文緊接著便是Miss Bean一個question,作為例子。
12 D 根據(jù)語境,Miss Bean期待(而不是命令、強迫或允許)“我”有自己的見解并能有理由支撐見解。
13 A it指opinion。back up意為“全力支持”。
14 B 獨立思考是學習成功的關(guān)鍵。Key to sth. 打開……的鑰匙;做好……的關(guān)鍵。D項干擾較大,但thinking for oneself 是一種行為,而不是一種態(tài)度,故attitude不太恰當。
15. B 課上精力不集中才會受到懲罰。
16. A send sth. flying 意為“使……飛起來”; keep sth. flying意為“使……飛個不!。
17. D
18. C
19. B 由于這件事在全校出了名,很多人都想認識“我” 。
20. A 全文主要講述Miss Bean 如何幫助“我”改變不被同學和老師接納、不能溶入學校生活的狀態(tài)。通過巧妙的“懲罰”,使“我”成為全校注意的對象,結(jié)果成為該校和別的孩子一樣的另一個孩子(another kid)。

A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables.

Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once __41 __, such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.
Several years ago, I spoke at a school about how we were surrounded by “___42___ ” if we could only recognize them. A man stopped by to see me, and I remembered him as somebody who had suffered through a(n) ___43___ divorce (離婚) and was examining what was most important to him. He took a small ___44___ out of his pocket. Here is what he said to me that day.
“I ___45___ on this stone when I was leaving church last Sunday. You had spoken about ___46___ opportunities—diamonds. I put the stone in my ___47___ to remind me to look for those “diamonds” that I need. I have been trying to sell my business . On Monday morning, a man who seemed interested in ___48___ some of my stock (股票) stopped by. I thought, ‘Here’s my diamond—don’t let it ___49___!’ I sold the entire stock to him by noon. Now my next diamond is to find a new ___50___ !”
Not long afterward, he did find a new and better job. From then on, he decided to keep his stone with him all the time as a ___51___ to look for “diamonds” as he dug through the ___52___ of life.
Richard DeVos is right when he points out. “This is an exciting world. It is filled with opportunities. Great moments wait around every corner.” Those moments are diamonds that, ___53___ left unrecognized, will be forever lost.
Are you looking for “diamonds” every day? If not, you may ___54___ pass them by! Perhaps there is a diamond of opportunity hidden in the difficulty you’re ___55___ now.

請認真閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 31 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 32 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 33 for years—often from 34 childhood. These stories may have no 35 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 36 my development? I was never 37 to work on cars or be around 38 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, 39 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I 40 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 41 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 42 and told him about my 43 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 44 is it that you can solve 45 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 46 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 47 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 48 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 49 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 50 we choose.
