1.B考查形容词词义。句意为:在学校里面,我做得很差。校长认为,我是一个无用的人。由做得差,可知应是一个无用的人。bright adj 明亮的,聪明的;useless adj无用的;simple adj 简单的;hopeful adj 有希望的。有句意可知答案为B。
故答案应为B
2.A考查代词的用法。句意为:当我14岁的时候他说,你将一事无成,只能是一个失败者。此处为做不成任何事情。anything 任何事情,与前面的never相连用;something 一些事情;nothing 没有任何事情,与never为双重否定;everything 一切事情。故答案为D。
3.B考查形容词词义。句意为:在五年的糟糕的工作之后,我爱上了一个女孩儿。low adj低的;poor adj 差的,弱的,贫穷的;good adj好的,优秀的;useful adj 有用的。由前面的学业很差,周围的人都认我是一个失败者可知,所有的事情是很糟糕的,故应为B。
4.D考查名词词义。句意为:我爱上了一个女孩儿,这对我来说,幸福的事情可能就要到来了。support n 支持,维持;happiness n幸福;surprise n 吃惊,惊讶;thing n 事情,情况。beatific adj 幸福的,祝福的,happiness 意思重复。故答案应为B

7.A考查形容词的含义。句意:我要做一些积极的事情以证明周围的人对我的看法是错误的。wrong adj 错误的;right adj 正确的;stupid adj愚蠢的; faulty 有缺点的。周围的人总认为我是一事无成的,所以我要证明给他们看是错误的,故答案应为A。
8.D考查动词的意思。句意为:她的母亲对我说过,让我们正视这一点吧(别人对我的看法)也就是说去面对别人对我的这种贬低。see vt 看见;know vt 知道;understand vt 理解;face vt面对。所以答案应为D。
