分析 本文讲述了作者的个人经历--从一个以自我为中心的人到主动和别人交朋友并且照顾他人的人.一开始作者是个非常以自我为中心的人,以至于作者到了一个新学校直到学期末都没有交到朋友,因而作者感觉很孤单.之后作者主动和他人交朋友.此外,作者在一个医护所兼职,她和一个患老年痴呆症的老人交朋友,照顾这个老人.作者觉得让他人感到舒适,自己也同样会感觉舒适,帮助他人既是帮助自己.
解答 36.B 原文开始写到作者是个很自我中心的人(I used to be a very self-centered person),但后来几年自己有了转变,不再是这样的人,因此可以推测作者的行为是"在考虑自己之前考虑别人"(I have started to think about other people (36)B I think about myself),答案为before.
37.C 通读全文,可以了解到,作者很高兴自己从一个自我为中心的人转变成一个懂得关心他人的人,因此答案为C.
38.D 从文章的写作结构可以知道,作者最早的变化是从一个事情开始的--在 Palomar 大学读书的时候.故答案为D.
39.C 一开始作者只想拿到学位,并不懂得跟别人交朋友.因此答案为C.
40.A I thought I was smarter than everyone else前文说到自己觉得比任何人都聪明.可以推测作者平时很少和被人"交谈",故答案为A.
41.B 联系前文所写的行为以及空格后的句子It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun.可以推测,跟其他人相比,我没有交到朋友,我感觉很孤单.故答案为B.
42.C 此处考查动词短语 try an experiment,意为尝试.当作者发觉自己很孤单的时候,可以推测到他开始尝试向他们交流,因此答案为C.
43.B 考查动词词义的辨析.此处说明作者在尝试改变,态度应该是积极主动的.A.dared 敢于…,B.offered 提供,C.hesitated 犹豫,D.happened 发生.可以推测是主动"提供帮助",答案为B.
44.D 名词的词义辨析.通过理解各项词义,联系前面的语境,可知这对我来说是"很大的一步",应该是a big step,答案为D.
45.C 前面提到到了学期末,我交了一些朋友several friends,后指他们中的两个朋友在今天还是我最好的朋友,故答案为人称代词them.
46.A 考查名词的辨析.通过理解各项词义,联系前面的语境,可知是"我的态度"的更大的转变,而不是指B.兴趣,C.希望,D.运气.因此答案为A.
47.A 通过理解后文,可知是作者和一个患老年痴呆症的人交了朋友,故答案为A.
48.B 联系后文,she thought I was her daughter.Her real daughter never(49)C her,so I took her place.她女儿从来不看她,她把我当成她的女儿,可见这个老人很高兴,故答案为B.
49.C 联系前后文,可知是她女儿从来不来看她,可用动词visit.答案为C.
50.D 考查动词词义的辨析.A.explain,解释;B.guess,猜测;C.declare,宣布;D.see明白,看到.空格后讲的是我明白的一个道理that making others feel good make me feel good,too,(她高兴,我也高兴),可知答案为D.
51.B 形容词词义辨析.A.homeless 无家可归的,B.heartbroken心碎的,C.bad-tempered暴脾气的,D.hopeless无望的,通过语境可知,作者是伤心的,答案为B.
52.C 考查形容词词义辨析.通过上下文语义,可知我认为我成了更好的人,故答案为better.
53.A 根据上下文语义,可知是我不会忘记这次经历,故答案为A.
54.D 根据上下文语义,我不会忘记这次经历,因为它们教会了我…,故答案为D.
55.B 根据理解全文,可知作者的态度是喜欢现在的自己,因此动词为like.
