1.

2.2】解析:選C。聯(lián)系第一句中的I have really changed 以及下文作者由獨(dú)自一人到交了朋友,由以自我為中心,到變成了一個(gè)幫助別人的人,可知作者發(fā)生了很大變化,因此可知作者很高興自己變成了一個(gè)和以前不一樣的人,故用different。famous“著名的;出名的,simple“簡單的;樸素的,skilled“有技能的;熟練的,均與語境不符。

3.3】解析:選D。聯(lián)系第一句中的changed以及下文所描述的作者發(fā)生的變化,可知作者的變化開始于上大學(xué)時(shí)。

4.4】解析:選C。因?yàn)樽髡呤窃诖髮W(xué)里,她想得到的當(dāng)然是學(xué)位。balance“平衡homework“家庭作業(yè),interest“興趣,愛好,均與語境不符。

5.5】解析:選A。聯(lián)系39空后的be left alone,以及41空后的除了我似乎別人都交了朋友,都過得很愉快,可知作者獨(dú)自一人,幾乎不跟別人說話。

6.6】解析:選B。聯(lián)系此空后的除了我,似乎別人都交了朋友,都過得很愉快,可知作者確實(shí)很孤獨(dú),沒有人與她交往。careful“仔細(xì)的;細(xì)心的,curious“好奇的guilty“內(nèi)疚的;有罪的,均與語境不符。

7.7】解析:選C。聯(lián)系空后的開始問周圍的人過得怎么樣,問他們是否需要幫助,可知作者在試著與別人交流。experiment 在本句中意為嘗試argument“爭論;辯論,game“游戲defence“防御;護(hù)衛(wèi),均與語境不符。

8.8】解析:選B。聯(lián)系空格前的trouble以及空格后的help,可知作者問別人是否有麻煩,然后主動(dòng)提供幫助。

9.9】解析:選D。聯(lián)系以前作者不與人說話,寧愿獨(dú)處,現(xiàn)在開始主動(dòng)與別人交流并想提供幫助,可知這樣做對作者來說已經(jīng)是邁出了一大。

10.0】解析:選C。聯(lián)系空格前的several new friends可知作者的兩個(gè)最好的朋友就在“several new friends”之中,空格處為避免重復(fù),用代詞them“他們代替“several new friends”。

11.1】解析:選A。聯(lián)系上文的描述,作者主動(dòng)與人溝通,主動(dòng)幫助別人,這些顯示的都是作者對人、對事的態(tài)度發(fā)生了變化,故此空用attitude。

12.2】解析:選A。聯(lián)系下文的she thought I was her daughter 可知老太太把作者當(dāng)成了自己的女兒,可推測作者與這位老太太成了朋友。partner “伙伴,guide“向?qū)?/span>guest“客人,均與語境不符。

13.3】解析:選B。聯(lián)系空格后老太太認(rèn)為作者是自己的女兒,可知見到作者就很高興。

14.4】解析:選C。聯(lián)系空格后的“I took her place”可知老太太的親生女兒從沒來看過她,visit“拜訪符合語境。

15.5】解析:選D。聯(lián)系空格后作者的感受使別人感覺好也就是使自己感覺好可知這是作者通過這次經(jīng)歷明白的一個(gè)道理,故用see。本題考查的是熟詞新義,see在句中意為明白。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng),explain“解釋,guess “declare“宣布,均與語境不符。

16.6】解析:選B。老太太去世,作者肯定會感到很傷心,故選heartbroken“心碎的。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng),homeless“無家可歸的,bad?tempered“壞脾氣的hopeless“無望的,均與語境不符。

17.7】解析:選C。聯(lián)系作者在上文的描述,自己交了朋友,也幫助別人,可知作者感覺自己比以前多了。

18.8】解析:選A。作者希望自己不會忘記這些經(jīng)歷。其余選項(xiàng),face“面對,improve“提高analyze“……進(jìn)行分析,均與語境不符。

19.9】解析:選D。這些經(jīng)歷教會了作者要更多地關(guān)心別人,而不是自己。force“強(qiáng)迫,prefer“偏愛,order“命令,均與語境不符。

20.20】解析:選B。聯(lián)系第一段中的“I am happy that I am becoming a different person.”可知作者很喜歡現(xiàn)在的自己。miss “思念;錯(cuò)過,wonder“困惑;想知道,expect“期待;預(yù)計(jì),均與語境不符。

(2013·高考山東卷,D)Sparrow is a fast?food chain with 200 restaurants.Some years ago,the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company.Although Sparrow showed no sign of decliningthe chain was generally in an unhealthy state.With more and more fast?food concepts reaching the market,the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention.And to make matters worseits new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.

Sparrow failed to grow for another two years,until a new CEOCarl Pearson,decided to build up its market share.He did a survey,which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain,while customers of other fast?food chains were unwilling to turn away from them.Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.

Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand.The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants.Pearson resisted,arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun.Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time.Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success,rather than customers’ spending power.Finallythe owner accepted his idea.

The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast?food industry.The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars.Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product,the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.

Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image.For examplehe offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover(營業(yè)額)

These efforts paid off,and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast?food chains in the regions where it operated.

1.Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?

AThe number of its customers was declining.

BIts customers found the food unhealthy.

2.What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 2 refer to?

ACustomers of Sparrow restaurants.

BSparrow restaurants.

CCustomers of other fast?food chains.

DOther fast?food chains.

3.For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?

ATo build a good relationship with the public.

BTo stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.

CTo learn about customers’spending power.

DTo meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants.

4.The TV ads of Sparrow ________.

Achanged people’s views on pop stars

Bamused the public with original songs
