9. A. talk　　　 B. discuss　　 C. share　　　　 D. write

答案：C　 指导：她想让同学们了解她日记的内容，因此也就是“分享”。日记是让别人看，而不是跟别人“讨论”。

8. A. adding　　 B. finding　　 C. making　　　 D. giving

答案：A　 指导：因为是写日记，所以每天都“添加”一些新的东西。从“写日记”这个角度可排除其他选项。

7. A. because　　　 　　　　　　B. but

　 C. unless　　　　　　　　　　 D. even though

答案：D　 指导：作者此处强调的是日记的作用，eventhough／if引导让步状语从句，意为“即使”，符合此处的逻辑关系。本题干扰性最大的是but，如果用eventhough作者想强调的是前者，生活中还有美好的东西；如果用but，作者强调的是后者“一切都不令人愉快”。

6. A, reminded　 B. told　　　　 C. persuaded　　 D., helped

答案：A　 指导：日记只能是“提醒”她生活中还有好的一方面。B、C两项作主语的一般是人；help后面不跟从句。

5. A. how　　　　 B. when　　　　 C. because　　　 D. where

答案：B　 指导：when引导表语从句说明事情发生的时间。此处不表示事情发生的原因、方式或地点，根据下文的提示可排除其他选项。

4. A, silly　　　 B. special　　 C. different　　 D. shy

答案：C　 指导：人们嘲笑她，不仅因为她长相“不一样”，而且因为她想法“不一样”。此处special"独特的”，不一定指缺点；从后文可知，她并不“愚蠢”，因此不选A；D项太片面。

3. A. dressed　　 B. lived　　　 C. thought　　　 D. looked

答案：D　 指导：人们嘲笑的是她的长相，theway后跟的是定语从句，省略了引导词inwhich／thato从前文她长相难看这一点可排除其他选项。

2. A. nearby　　 B. around　　　 C. watching　　 D. laughing

答案：C　 指导：此处是说在别人，通常是一个“帅小伙”的注视下，她往往因为不自在而摔倒。watch"注视、留意”，符合题意。根据常识可排除“大笑”，人们看到长相丑的人不可能“大笑”，而是好奇地“注视”。

1. A. jump　　　 B. fail　　　　 C. turn　　　　 D. push

答案：B　 指导：fallover"摔倒在……，被绊倒”，从前面她的脚太大可知。jumpover"跳越”；turnover"翻转”；push一般不与 over搭配。

20. A. where　　　 B. which　　　 C. what　　　 D. how

答案：A　 指导：说明JohnWilliams在独自享受自己的野外生活。作者不愿意透露他生活在什么地方。此处表示地点概念，其他不合题意。
