题目内容
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. D 由于刚刚搬进(move into)这个白人居住区,所以新结识的应是邻居。
2. C 因歧视而讨厌他们的到来,故愤怒地说。
3. B 对十二岁的“我”扔石头并把“我”从学校赶回家,这些更像同龄孩子的行为,再与前文中的adults 相对照,可确定此处用children。
4. A 该社区的孩子对“我”是不友好的,所以不可能做出B、C、D三项中的行为:带(帮、抬)我回家。Drove是“驱赶”的意思。
5. B hardly 与 ignored连用,则意为不忽视, 与语境相悖; 从行文逻辑上看此处无须表达“突然”或“广泛”之意,故排除C、D两项;simply此处用以加强语气,相当于just,可译为“简直”,“就这么简单!”。
6. D Miss Bean对“我”受到的不公正的对待表示愤慨。这种不公正的对待既来自一些教师,也来自一些学生。另外,教师对“我”的不公正对待主要表现为不提问、不关心(ignored),但并不等同于不好好教,故排除A项。B、C两项离题较远,不难排除。
7. C 本题考查在语境中选词的能力。前文说作者受到了不公正的待遇,受人歧视,Miss Bean对此感到愤怒。她通过像教别人一样教“我”表达她的一种感情,这种感情与别人 的相反:别人歧视,我尊重。
8 A 此处讲述的是“我”在Miss Bean课堂上受到的对待:不是被忽视,而是被给表现的机会。
9. B 参见上题。
10. D 答案依据在下文:Miss Bean努力引导“我”养成独立思考的习惯。
11. C 下文紧接着便是Miss Bean一个question,作为例子。
12 D 根据语境,Miss Bean期待(而不是命令、强迫或允许)“我”有自己的见解并能有理由支撑见解。
13 A it指opinion。back up意为“全力支持”。
14 B 独立思考是学习成功的关键。Key to sth. 打开……的钥匙;做好……的关键。D项干扰较大,但thinking for oneself 是一种行为,而不是一种态度,故attitude不太恰当。
15. B 课上精力不集中才会受到惩罚。
16. A send sth. flying 意为“使……飞起来”; keep sth. flying意为“使……飞个不停”。
17. D
18. C
19. B 由于这件事在全校出了名,很多人都想认识“我” 。
20. A 全文主要讲述Miss Bean 如何帮助“我”改变不被同学和老师接纳、不能溶入学校生活的状态。通过巧妙的“惩罚”,使“我”成为全校注意的对象,结果成为该校和别的孩子一样的另一个孩子(another kid)。

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 (离婚) 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.

请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
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.
