A month later I received a（n） 52 , and a request to start working on another book. The worst year I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36, 000 dollars. 53 years I earned between five thousand and ten thousand. No, it isn’t enough to live 54 , but it’s still more than I’d make working part time.

試題分析：在文中作者講述了自己小時(shí)候的一段經(jīng)歷。他曾經(jīng)告訴過別人自己想當(dāng)作家的夢(mèng)想，但是每次都受到嘲諷譏笑，從此他選擇沉默，再也不在別人面前提自己的夢(mèng)想。文章告訴我們的是：永遠(yuǎn)不要做別人夢(mèng)想的扼殺者。
1.D形容詞辨析。A.全部的B. 其他的C. 多數(shù)的D. 剩余的。從前句作者講的half the students sneered，可知此處是指其余的，剩下的學(xué)生，所以D選項(xiàng)正確。
2.C 名詞辨析。A.將軍B. 政治家C. 天才D. 間諜。從下句 “And you are getting a D this term.可以推測(cè)老師認(rèn)為作者成績(jī)差不可能成為作家，再根據(jù)文章最后作者說的“I just write. I’m not a genius.”可知當(dāng)時(shí)老師應(yīng)該指的是genius，所以答案選C。
3.C形容詞辨析。 A.高興的；B.憂慮的；C. 羞愧的；D. 沮喪的。從上文可知作者受到老師和同學(xué)們的嘲諷譏笑，根據(jù)情理判斷應(yīng)該感覺很羞愧以至于哭了，所以答案選C。
4.A形容詞辨析。A. 悲傷的 ；B. 單純的； C.失望的；D. 迷惑的。通過上文的講述可以知道作者的夢(mèng)想被別人無情的擊碎了，由此可知心情會(huì)悲傷，難過。故正確答案為A。
5.B名詞辨析。 A.樂趣；B.驚愕；C. 舒適；D. 快樂。根據(jù)上文可知作者因?yàn)閯e人對(duì)自己的嘲笑而夢(mèng)想破滅，所以當(dāng)看到自己的詩被發(fā)表后，應(yīng)該感到難以置信，故B選項(xiàng)正確。
6.C動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 借入；B. 借出；C. 付款；D. 花費(fèi)。從上文sent me two dollars可知此處是指付稿費(fèi)的作者，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
7.D動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 哭；B. 同意；C. 發(fā)誓；D. 笑。從上下文可知當(dāng)作者告訴他們的時(shí)候，他們都不相信，連老師都說是瞎貓逮住了個(gè)死耗子，由此推斷同學(xué)們聽到他的話，是哄堂大笑，所以D正確。
8.B 名詞辨析。A. 失敗；B. 成功 ；C.冷淡；D. 擠壓。上文講作者的小詩發(fā)表了，所以作者應(yīng)該是嘗到了成功的喜悅，故B選項(xiàng)正確。
9.A 形容詞辨析。A. 好的；B. 混合的；C. 作比較的。D.滿的。前句講我做到了別人做不到的，所以哪怕是偶然的運(yùn)氣，作者也是高興的。正確答案是A。
10.D名詞辨析。 A. 書籍；B.詩人；C. 小說；D. 詩歌。從空后面的letters, jokes and recipes.等可知此處應(yīng)該是指發(fā)表的作品，而且后面說把他們粘在剪貼簿里，所以不會(huì)是書或者小說，故答案選D。
11.C 動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 退出；B.離開； C. 畢業(yè)；D. 中止。從故事的發(fā)展和下文的with a C minus average,可以推測(cè)作者是畢業(yè)了，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
12.B副詞辨析。 A. 曾經(jīng)；B. 從不 ；C. 幾乎不；D. 甚至。根據(jù)下文They were dream killers和作者遭到的嘲笑可知作者再也不告訴別人自己的夢(mèng)想了。A選項(xiàng)正確。
13.A連詞辨析。A.如果；B. 除非；C. 直到… 才；D.在… 之前。根據(jù)上下文可以推測(cè)得知此處是作者提出的一種假設(shè)，假設(shè)要在朋友和夢(mèng)想之間做出取舍，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
14.D名詞辨析。A. 教師 ；B.家庭；C.朋友；D. 夢(mèng)想。從作者的經(jīng)歷和做法可以判斷作者會(huì)選擇夢(mèng)想。所以選D。

16.B名詞辨析。A.書信；B. 信封； C. 作者； D. 封皮。從常識(shí)可知寄信要用信封，所以B正確。
17.A名詞辨析。A.協(xié)議； B.版本；C. 貿(mào)易； D. 專利權(quán)。根據(jù)后句and a request to start working on another book.可知編輯社要求他繼續(xù)寫書，所以應(yīng)該寄來的是一份協(xié)議，故A選項(xiàng)正確。
18.C 形容詞辨析。A.最近的；B. 值得紀(jì)念的 C.大多數(shù)的D. 幾個(gè)。前兩句講了最好的年收入，最低的年收入，由此可知此處應(yīng)該是大多數(shù)時(shí)候的收入， C選項(xiàng)正確。
19.B介詞辨析。A.跟，和 ；B.在…上；C. 由，D. 在…里。句中it指的是收入的錢，而固定短語 live on “靠。。。生活”，所以判斷B選項(xiàng)正確。
20.D動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 應(yīng)得；B. 介紹；C. 找到；D. 參加。下文講別人問他的學(xué)位、資格證等，由此判斷此處是問上什么大學(xué)。Attend college “上大學(xué)”。

A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables.

Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once __41 __, such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.
Several years ago, I spoke at a school about how we were surrounded by “___42___ ” if we could only recognize them. A man stopped by to see me, and I remembered him as somebody who had suffered through a(n) ___43___ divorce (離婚) and was examining what was most important to him. He took a small ___44___ out of his pocket. Here is what he said to me that day.
“I ___45___ on this stone when I was leaving church last Sunday. You had spoken about ___46___ opportunities—diamonds. I put the stone in my ___47___ to remind me to look for those “diamonds” that I need. I have been trying to sell my business . On Monday morning, a man w
ho seemed interested in ___48___ some of my stock (股票) stopped by. I thought, ‘Here’s my diamond—don’t let it ___49___!’ I sold the entire stock to him by noon. Now my next diamond is to find a new ___50___ !”
Not long afterward, he did find a new an
d better job. From then on, he decided to keep his stone with him all the time as a ___51___ to look for “diamonds” as he dug through the ___52___ of life.
Richard DeVos is right when he points out. “This is an exciting world. It is filled with opportunities. Great moments wait around every corner.” Those moments are diamonds that, ___53___ left unrecognized, will be forever lost.
Are you looking for “diamonds” every day? If not, you may ___54___ pass them by! Perhaps there is a diamond of opportunity hidden in the difficulty you’re ___55___ now.

請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 31 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 32 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 33 for years—often from 34 childhood. These stories may have no 35 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 36 my development? I was never 37 to work on cars or be around 38 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, 39 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I 40 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 41 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 42 and told him about my 43 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 44 is it that you can solve 45 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 46 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 47 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 48 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 49 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 50 we choose.
