【解題導語】 繼母的出現改變了作者的一生,也讓整個家庭舊貌換新顏。她的熱情深深感染了作者,讓作者領悟到了熱情的神奇力量。
1.A.rushedB.sent
C.carried
D.introduced
解析:選D。根據作者的父親所說的話可知他是在把作者“介紹”給作者的繼母。
2.A.distinguished
B.favored
C.mistaken
D.rewarded
解析:選A。在父親的眼中,作者不是一個好孩子,而以本地最壞的孩子“著稱”。distinguished“著名的”。
3.A.sooner
B.later
C.longer
D.earlier
解析:選B。父親認為作者是本地最壞的孩子,顯然不會輕而易舉地接受繼母,不“遲于”明天早上就會向她扔石頭。
4.A.dragged
B.shook
C.raised
D.bent
解析:選C。根據本段后半部分繼母的話可知她不贊同作者父親的觀點,而是非常欣賞作者,認為作者只是沒有把潛能發揮出來,因此表現出來的是愛意,所以是輕輕地“扶起”作者的頭。A項表示“拉”;B項表示“搖動”;C項表示“扶起,抬起”;D項表示“傾斜”。
5.A.perfect
B.right
C.wrong
D.impolite
解析:選C。根據引號中的話可知她認為作者父親的觀點是“錯誤的”。
6.A.but
B.so
C.and
D.or
解析:選A。他根本不是最壞的孩子,而是還沒有找到釋放熱情的途徑的最聰明的孩子。本句是“not...but...”結構,表示“不是……而是……”。
7.A.agreement
B.friendship
C.gap
D.relationship
解析:選B。作者沒有想到繼母會如此欣賞自己,自然一開始就與她建立了“友誼”。兩個人本來就是母子關系,所以D項不恰當。
8.A.opinion
B.image
C.expectation
D.mind
解析:選D。作者的家人和鄰居已經讓作者在腦海中形成了根深蒂固的觀念,認為自己是一個壞男孩。
9.A.begged
B.persuaded
C.ordered
D.invited
解析:選B。根據本句后半部分的內容可知她“說服”了作者的父親去上牙醫學校。
10.A.successful
B.meaningful
C.helpful
D.useful
解析:選A。她搬家的目的是想讓作者父親的事業更加“成功”。最后兩項的意思基本相同,可排除。
11.A.treated
B.entertained
C.educated
D.respected
解析:選C。根據下一段開頭部分提到的作者的年齡可推測她搬家也是為了讓孩子更好地“受教育”。
12.A.camera
B.radio
C.bicycle
D.typewriter
解析:選D。她相信作者可以成為一名作家,結合選項,繼母應該是給作者買了一臺二手“打字機”。
13.A.considered
B.suspected
C.ignored
D.appreciated
解析:選D。她發現了作者的寫作才能并加以鼓勵,作者自然對此非常“感激”。
14.A.belief
B.request
C.criticism
D.description
解析:選A。作者接受了她的“信念”。此處與該段第一句話中的believed相呼應。
15.A.teaching
B.writing
C.studying
D.reading
解析:選B。上文敘述的是“寫作”的事情,再根據空處前面的“the same kind of”可知選B項。
16.A.next
B.same
C.only
D.real
解析:選C。根據后面兩句話的內容可知作者不是“唯一的”受益者。
17.A.cleverest
B.wealthiest
C.strongest
D.healthiest
解析:選B。上文提到繼母說服了作者的父親去上牙醫學校,并舉家搬遷以便讓他的事業更加成功,由此可推斷作者的父親成為了城鎮中最“富有的”人。
18.A.enthusiasm
B.sympathy
C.fortune
D.confidence
解析:選A。所有的這一切都是“熱情”的力量!文章中多次出現的關鍵詞enthusiasm也是答案提示。
19.A.deliberately
B.happily
C.traditionally
D.constantly
解析:選D。當熱情釋放的能量來支撐一個人的目標,并且這一能量“不斷地”被信仰強化時,它就會產生不可抗拒的力量。
20.A.win
B.match
C.reach
D.doubt
解析:選B。熱情所釋放出來的巨大能量是貧窮和暫時的失敗所不能“匹敵”的。
