Question

【题目】

Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mum. However, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways. He had a speech problem so he couldn’t ________ like other kids in his grade. I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills.

On the days when it was Ronny’s turn, I gave him a silent smile, and he flew out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that nobody had ever seen. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried his best to read out. Every time he ________ to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with ________.

A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony. I presented Ronny with a book –one of those Little Golden Books that only cost$5. Tears ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went back to his seat. I stayed with the Class for the rest of the day.

Ronny never let go of the book, not once. It never left his hands. A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I ________ Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap（大腿）. His teacher said,“He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. Do you know that’s his first book he’s ever actually owned?”Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked,“Will you read me your book, Ronny?”And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more ________ than I’d ever thought possible from him. The pages were already dog-eared, like the book had been read thousands of times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction,“Good book!”What a powerful contribution（贡献）the writer of that Little Golden Book had made in the life of a disadvantaged child. At that moment, I knew I would get ________ about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does—care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, care enough to make a difference.

【解析】本文将“我”的班上有一个叫罗尼的有言语障碍的儿童，后来学年结束“我”送他了一本书，这是他唯一的一本书而且他爱不释手，直到有一天“我”重返校园再次遇见罗尼，他发现这本书对他产生了如此大的影响，让他的朗读清晰了不少，对于这样一本能够影响一个儿童一生的书“我”十分赞赏。

【1】句意：他有言语问题，所以他不能像其他年级的孩子一样朗读。“speech”通常指“演讲，说话”，在这方面有问题即说明“他”不能够向别人一样朗读，选项A“写”，选项B“复制”，选项C“听”，选项D“读”，故选D。

【2】句意：每次他用带有奇怪的发音成功地读出一个单词时…，“manage to do”指“做成某事”，这里想要说的是他每次都成功读出一个单词的时候，他就会展露出笑容，“with a strange pronunciation”也说明他是能读出来的，选项A“拒绝”，选项B“决定”，选项C“做成（某事）”，选项D“假装”，故选C。

【3】句意：最大的笑容会散布在他的脸上，他的眼睛会自豪地闪耀。这是说他每次设法说出一个单词后的表现，他微笑了，眼睛里应该是闪烁着骄傲的，选项A“害怕”，选项B“骄傲”，选项C“承诺”，选项D“寂静”，故选B。

【4】句意：我注意到罗尼坐在操场附近的椅子上，书放在他的膝盖上。这里是说“我”后来回到学校，注意到在看书的罗尼。“坐在操场附近的椅子上”是可以被“注意到”的，选项A“意识到”，选项B“注意到”，选项C“跟随，跟上”，选项D“听到”，故选B。

【5】句意：他比我想象的更清楚地给我读了这本书。这里是想表达“我”的惊喜或意外，他之前有言语障碍，所以读书不是很清晰，这里是想说罗尼读书比起“我”所想象的要清楚地多，选项A“寒冷地，冷酷地”，选项B“缓慢地”，选项C“清楚地”，选项D“安静地”，故选C。

【6】句意：我会担心自己的写作，并且做那个作家做的事情。前文提到了“我”对于那本书作者能够对罗尼产生如此大的影响这件事十分震撼，于是应该是开始担心自己的作品是否也能一样改变一个儿童的一生。“get worried about”为“对…担忧”，选项A“认真的，严肃的”，选项B“紧张的”，选项C“担心的”，选项D“惊讶的”，故选C。
