The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan

The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.

All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

But how could I help her in with us? There had to be a .

One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) copy.

I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough . Could you help me, Suzy?”

On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s 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) award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students them.”

I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw well?”

Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a ,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 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never anything in her whole life.

Everyone started to their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to ne all right.

【解析】

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲了一个非洲来的儿童Suzy被美国家庭收养,为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,同学们也认可和接纳了她。

1.A 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。根据语境,这里是说“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。

2.B 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。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。

3.C 考查形容词词义辨析。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。显然都不符合语境。tiny =very small。

4.C 考查动词词义辨析和上下文语境。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适合,与…一致。

5.D 考查名词词义辨析。根据上文决定帮助小女孩与大家一致,必须寻找一个办法/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指模式、花样、图案等,choice指选择,way指方式、方法、手段等,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。

6.C 考查动词词义辨析和语境。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”。其他均不合适。

7.B 考查形容词词义辨析和上下文语境。她对火车图的复制,效果怎样要看文中第44题后的陈述,“why, it’s wonderful”可知,非常好,与此题选项中的perfect相近。

8.D 考查名词词义辨析和上下文语境。根据后文第45题后的陈述“the talent show”我们知道这是一个才艺秀。

9.D 考查动词词义辨析和语境。根据上文陈述,Suzy在画火车,所以这里应该是“我”把她画的东西展示给艺术老师看。color意思为涂色和染色, write书写,carve雕刻,draw画。

10.C 考查介词。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…”。

11.B 考查名词词义辨析和语境。由该空前面“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。

12.D 考查名词词义辨析和上下文语境。上文已谈到,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。

13.A 考查形容词词义辨析。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。

14.A 考查动词词义辨析和上下文。文中这句话的意思说“我们一个学生画了这些海报”,除了draw以外,我们还可以使用paint一词,表示绘画。

15.B 考查副词词义。修饰形容词或副词,表示那么,那样,我们一般用so,也可以用that,二者意思相近。that well=so well。

16.D 考查状语从句的连接词和上下文语境。“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。

17.A 考查名词词义辨析和语境。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。

18.B 考查动词词义辨析。该空描写作者的思想活动,是意识到她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能力和重要。Reply回答,realize意识到,remember回忆,regret后悔,遗憾。

19.C 考查动词词义辨析。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她拥有的东西。

20.A 考查动词词义辨析。因为她画得好,得到校长表扬,才能得到大家认可,所以大家为她鼓掌。clap one’s hands鼓掌。

You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years,this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising "changemakers" seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.

Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact It is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city ,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there .

They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical ferntilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years . At first , they were refused ,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made , the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14,000.

Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious ,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.

Evaluating Sources (来源) of health Information

Making good choices about your own health requairs reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Resonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 1.

Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determin whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 2.

Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 3. Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.

Use your common sense. Ifa report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 4. Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).

5. Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.

Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.

A. Make choice that are right for you.

B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.

C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.

D. And examine the findings of the original research.

E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.

F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.

G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

The following are letters to the editor of a school newspaper

Dear editor,

I’d like to express my opinion about grades. Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. I understand that grades are useful, but grades often limit creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades force an arbitrary(武断的) standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that grades be removed immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.

Magdalena Smith

Drama Club

Dear editor,

I’d like to say something about grades. Let’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades motivate students to work at their highest level of competence. Second, they act as a reward for hardworking students and as a punishment to students who do not work hard. Finally, grades are used as an effective standard by which to measure student achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university. I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired primarily on the basis of their grades. My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.

Simon Harper

Science Club

1.Which of the following is not Magdalena Smith’s opinion?

A. Students may give up the chance to learn music and sports for grades.

B. Students’ creativity may not be developed for grades.

C. Grades should not be used to measure a person’s success.

D. Grades should be taken away at once.

2.We can learn Simon Harper _____.

A. believes in the benefits of good grades

B. is concerned about students' creativity

C. doesn't work too hard at his studies

D. supports students' interests and abilities

3.From the second letter, we can infer that Simon Harper is a/an_____.

A. teacher B. headmaster C. student D. advertiser
