【解析】【1】根据后面but和another matter, 后面还说Aaron学习一塌糊涂，因此推知在高尔夫球方面应该很优秀，前后形成对比。
【2】根据后文中in courses like chemistry可知他的学习是另一回事。
【3】根据前文信息his grades were low, 可知他的一些功课成绩很低，他几乎要放弃。be close to接近，靠近。
【4】句意:Aaron并非胸无大志，而是在这样大的、非个性化的管理髙中他没有施展的空间。根据全文内容，尤其是Aaron的前后判若两人的变化可知。
【5】根据第一段和第二段的对比，尤其是第一段中large, impersonal public high school 和第二段中 one-on-one attention.
【6】根据后文信息His one strong goal可知，除了个性化关注还有另外的事情吸引着他。A选项中缺乏介词to。
【7】根据本段后文信息an architectural CAD program和第三段an architectural firm以及全文内容可知。
【8】 attend school上学。A选项后面缺乏介词for。
【9】句意:他第一次发现他对学习很感兴趣。与前文形成对比。find后面跟复合结构。
【10】 根据 as a draftsman for an architectural firm 可知。
【11】 根据本段最后 professionally after he graduated this spring可知，他的目标是毕业后专职从事这个行业。take up从事。
【12】根据第一段和第三段形成鲜明的对比，Aaron认为是Danny Moon改变了他的命运。
【13】 run控制，主持（团体、组织）。例如：run a school办一所学校。
【14】 until引导的状语从句，主句谓语是持续性动词时，肯定式表示该动作的终止。此处until相当于before。
【15】 pass a law 通过一部法律。前一段 the Albuquerque school district couldn't pay for any longer 可知政府不支持职业教育，此段讲从立法上开始支持。后文and a district official wondered if…使答案更加明确。
【16】 根据介词in可知此处为be interested ill。A、B、D三项后面的介词为about或of。
【17】 根据前文信息 a district official wondered if Moon might. . . 一位政府官员询问Moon是否感兴趣。因此Danny Moon —下子就答应了。
【18】largel把……作为目标或者对象。
【19】根据students like Aaron和第一段内容确定，因为Aaron在公立高中步履维艰。tough困难的，费力的。
【20】句意:他也正好满足整个新墨西哥州对熟练劳动力急剧上升的需求。由此暗示Danny Moon所设立的这个职业的重要性。
