She trusted me to complete things,so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 7 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 8 that year was, “Try it. We can always paint over it 9 !” I began to take 10 I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing only things to be 11 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 12 create something. The shy,quiet freshman achieved success that year.

[文章大意]本文是一篇励志文章,通过"我"的经历,说明了勇气、自信、尝试和信任的重要性。本文在命题上最佳地体现了"语句、语段、语篇"之间的逻辑关系,是一篇典型的、语篇逻辑型的完形填空。
1. B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,四个选项中只有yet表转折。
2. A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。
impression印象;information信息;intention意图。
3. C handle处理,应付;make做,创造;keep保持;change 改变。
4. D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对某事一无所知。
5. A
6. D
7. C根据"...so I began to show up to paint more and more." 可知,作者做的事情变多是Mrs Neidl信任的结果,说明"我" 是个可信赖的 (reliable) 人,C选项符合题意。
happy高兴的; lively活泼的;punctual准时的。
8. B引号里是二句鼓励性质的话,而且根据that year可知那句话是她的座右铭 (motto) 。
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。
9. D此处可以理解为"如果没有画好,稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的Pi上"。more更多;instead代替。again表示"再一次,又一次",放在这里与over意思重复。paint over it later 相当于paint it again。故选 D.
10. D
11. A 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;reflect upon考虑,回顾。
12. C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的鼓励下才自信地拿起了画笔,因此选confidently,easily容易地;care?fully小心地;proudly骄傲地。
13. B be recognized as被公认为,被承认;introduce介绍,弓|人; be identified as被确定是;be considered as被认为,被当作。
14. C作者意识到自己想要的是什么,所以用realize,decide 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'confirm证实;acknowledge承认。
15. A这里不能选of是因为根据全文第一句话可知Mrs Neidl 是团队的一员,所以不能说是她的团队。
below和by搭配错误。
16. B作者发现了一项爱好和一个未知的世界,故选discover develop可以与interest连用,表示形成了某种爱好,但是不可以与world连用,故排除。
take interest取利;foster培养。
17. B她教会"我"不要去在乎别人认为"我"该做什么。care "在乎",符合文意。
accept接受;judge判断;wonder想知道。
18. D根据前面的take chances (冒险) ,可知后面要说不要怕(失败) 。
bored无聊的;lazy懒惰的;sad伤心的。
19. A trust信任。通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs Neidl 对作者的信任,因此推断出答案。
patience耐心;curiosity好奇心;interest兴趣。
20. C她对"我"的信任激励"我"完成以前"我"认为不可能的事情。
never imagined possible = imagined impossible ,意为"认为不可能的",符合文意。
accessible容易取得的;enjoy?able有趣的;favourable有利的,赞同的。
