分析 这一切都始于九年级刚开学．卡门发现她一直不能清楚地看东西．她变得非常焦急，但是她希望没有人知道这件事情．当她妈妈要带她去看医生时，卡尔不同意去．但是妈妈决心已定．三天后，卡尔从医生那里得到了一副新眼镜和使用说明．卡尔说："所有的孩子都会觉得我很傻．"她的妈妈笑着摇了摇头，她说道："你看起来还是和以前一样的美丽．"但是卡尔不相信妈妈说的话．第二天，当卡尔走进校园时，她把眼镜放在口袋里．她一个人站着，远离她的朋友，感到很难过．突然，她听见朋友特丽萨哭喊道．卡尔向其他女生那边跑过去．她问道："怎么了？"特丽萨哭着说道："我的戒指不见了！这是我姐姐从加利福尼亚送给我的．它很特殊，我不能丢了它．"卡尔和朋友开始在操场的草地里找戒指．卡尔意识到如果她能看的更清楚，那么她会更快找到戒指．她拿出眼镜戴上．所有的一切看起来好不同啊！如此清晰．她低头在草地里寻找，一道耀眼的光吸引住了她的目光．那正那枚戒指．她喊道："在这里呢．"卡尔把戒指给了特丽萨．她说："谢谢，卡尔．我从来没想过我们会找到它．"她停了下来又说道："嗨，我不知道你戴眼镜了，看起来很棒！"卡尔已经忘记了自己正戴着新眼镜，她说道："谢谢．"卡尔心想："也许戴眼镜并没有那么糟糕．"

解答 36．A．副词词义辨析．A是清晰地、清楚地，B是认真地，C是自由地，D是快速地．根据第一段She became very worried．可知卡门焦急的原因是她一直不能清晰地看东西，故选择A．

38．D．动词词义辨析．A是解释，B是在意，C是理解，D是同意．根据上文可知卡尔不希望别人知道自己近视，所以当妈妈要求带她去看医生时，卡尔是不同意的，故选择D．
39．C．动词词义辨析．A是使…放松，B是欢呼，使…高兴，C是微笑，D是跳．根据．"You look just as beautiful as before，"she said．可知在妈妈眼里卡尔还是和以前一样漂亮，透出妈妈对女儿的爱，故选择C，符合语境．
40．B．形容词词义辨析．A是疲惫的，B是不开心的，C是害怕的，D是严肃的．根据上文及She stood alone away from her friends．可知卡尔觉得自己戴上眼镜很傻，在校园里一个人站着，远离她的朋友，所以卡尔是不开心的，故选择B．
41．A．形容词词义辨析．A是特殊的，B是平常的，C是便宜的，D是重的．根据Theresa cried．"My sister sent it to me from California．"可知这个戒指是特丽萨姐姐从加利福尼亚送给她的，对她来说是很特别的，故选择A．
