题目内容
9.I met Mrs.Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors.Almost instantly I loved her.She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking,(36)yet she was encouraging and inspiring.For some reason,she was impressed with my work and me.Mrs.Neidl would ask me for my (37)opinion.She wanted to know how I thought we should (38)handle things.At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew(39)nothing about stage design!But I slowly began to respond to her(40)questions.It was cause and effect:She believed I had opinions,so I began to (41)form them.She trusted me to complete things,so I completed them perfectly.She loved how(42)reliable I was,so I began to show up to paint more and more.She believed in me,so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs.Neidl's (43)motto that year was,"Try it.We can always paint over it (44)later!"I began to take(45)risks.I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing--only things to be(46)improved upon.I learned to dip my brush into the paint and (47)confidently create something.
The shy,quiet freshman achieved success that year.I was(48)recognized in the program as"Student Art Assistant"because of the time and effort I'd put in.It was that yea r that I(49)realized I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.
Being on that stage-design team(50)with Mrs.Neidl changed me completely.Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought,but I also (51)discovered a strong interest and a world I hadn't known existed.She taught me not to (52)care what people think I should do:She taught me to take chances and not be (53)afraid.Mrs.Neidl was my comforter when I was upset.Her (54)trust in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined(55)possible.

分析 本文是一篇记叙文.通过加入舞台设计小组和遇到Mrs.Neidl对作者的影响,作者彻底改变了自己,发现了自己的兴趣和价值,并且变得更加自信和坚强.
解答 36.B 考查连词辨析.根据前面unpleasant voice 和 direct way of speaking是消极意向,后面encouraging 和 inspiring是积极意向,因此需填转折连词,四个选项中A表并列,C表结果,D表原因,只有B选项yet表转折.故选B.
37.A 考查名词辨析.根据第二段第二句话"她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事情"直接提示了这个空应该选观点opinion这个词.第二段倒数第四句话中也出现了这个词从而验证了其正确性.故选A.
38.C 考查动词辨析.根据后面发生的一系列事情可以看出作者在这个活动中要处理很多的事情.故选C.
39.D 考查代词辨析.根据句子前半句中的"had no idea"可知,开始我不知如何回答是因为我对舞台设计"一无所知"."know nothing about sth"意为"对某事一无所知".故选D.
40.A 考查名词辨析.根据第二段第一句中的"ask 提问"及第四句中的"answer 回答"可知,这里应填"question 问题"这个词,respond toher questions.故选A.
41.D 考查动词辨析.根据文意推断,作者开始并没有观点,由于她相信我有观点所以我形成了观点.故选D.
42.C 考查形容词辨析.解题线索在后半句"so I began to show up to paint more and more"作者做的事情变多是Mrs.Neidl信任的结果,说明我是个可信赖(reliable)的人,C选项符合题意.其他三个选项happy 高兴的 lively活泼的和 punctual准时的都不能表达出这种合理的因果关系.另外迷惑性较大的lively通常用来形容物. 故选C.
43.B 考查名词辨析.根据引号里是一句鼓励性质的话,而且前面"that year"也是线索,说明这话是她的motto座右铭.迷惑性较大的C选项saying是谚语的意思,往往是人们长期形成的对生活及经验的总结,强调群体性及时间性,故不合适,message 信息,suggestion 建议,不合题意.故选B.
44.D 考查副词辨析.本题难度较大,解题关键词是介词"over",表覆盖.选择later 可以理解为"如果没有画好,稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上."more更多,Instead 代替,不合题意.迷惑性最大的是again.表示"再一次、又一次",但是放在这里与over意思重复,paint overit later相当于 paint it again,.故选D.
45.D 考查名词辨析.take risks 固定搭配,冒险.通读全文发现作者是开始很不自信,第四段开头也提示了作者"shy","quiet",因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险,是自我突破的过程,文章最后一段也提到了take chances冒险.故选D.
46.A 考查动词辨析.improve upon 改进.根据本段开头的座右铭"试试吧,我们永远可以重画一次."可知,不存在失败,只存在改进.act upon按照、对…起作用;look upon 看待,考虑;reflectupon 考虑,回顾;均不符题意.故选A.
47.C 考查副词辨析.本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程,根据前文提示可知,作者曾很不自信,后来在Mrs.Neidl的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔.故选C.
48.B 考查动词辨析.根据语境可知,因为我在这个项目中付出的时间和努力,我开始被认可.be recognized as"被公认为、被承认";be introduced"被介绍、引入";be identified as"被确定是",有验证身份的意思;be considered as"被认为、被当作".其中 be recognized as 有"被大家承认、被普遍接受"的意思,表意更准确.故选B.
49.C 考查动词辨析.解题关键词是"want".作者意识到自己想要的是什么,所以用realized.迷惑项是decided 决定.可以说决定要什么,但不可以说决定想什么,因为想法是不可控制的.故选C.
50.A 考查介词辨析.根据语境可知,与Mrs.Neidl在舞台设计小组的这段时间令我彻底改变了.故选A.
51.B 考查动词辨析.根据句意"我发现了一种很强烈的愿望和一个我原来都不知道存在的世界,可以判断原来不知道存在,现在"发现了"更为贴切.故选B.
52.B 考查动词辨析.根据语境可知,"她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做",care 在乎,符合文意.accept 接受,judge 判断,wonder 怀疑 均不合文意.故选B.
53.D 考查形容词辨析.根据前面说take chance 冒险,后面理所当然说不要怕(失败),而且前文反复出现了afraid 这个词,是全篇的关键词.bored 无聊的,lazy 懒惰的,sad 伤心的,在文中均无体现.故选D.
54.A 考查名词辨析.通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs.Neidl对作者的信任,并在第三段明确使用了trust这个词,因此推断出答案.故选A.
55.C 考查形容词辨析.根据语境可知,"她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不可能的事情","never imagined possible"等于"imagined impossible."认为不可能的,贴合文意.故选C.

As they (41)went down,the weather got worse.Then another(42)trouble occurred.They couldn't see or hear each other and,(43)by mistake,Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice(峭壁).It was(44)impossible for Joe to climb back or for Simon to pull him up.Joe's(45)weight was pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice.(46)Finally,after more than an hour in the dark and the icy cold,Simon had to(47)make a decision.In tears,he cut the rope.Joe(48)fell into a large crevasse(裂缝)in the ice below.He had no food or water and he was in terrible pain.He couldn't walk,but he(49)hoped to get out of the crevasse and started to (50)move towards their camp,nearly ten kilometers(51)away.
Simon had(52)returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain.He thought that Joe must be(53)dead,but he didn't want to leave(54)immediately.Three days later,in the middle of the night,he heard Joe's voice.He couldn't(55)believe it.Joe was there,a few meters from their tent,still alive.
