Finally,after a week,the boy 9       in the same paper,making no changes at all.He stated ,“ You could keep the ‘ F’ and I'll keep my dream."

     Monty then said to me,u I tell you this story because you are sitting in his 4 ,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school 10        hung on the middle of the wall over the fireplace."

[語篇解讀]這篇短文通過一個故事告訴我們，不論做什么事，相信你，自己，別讓別人的一句話將你擊倒。因為很多夢想的實現(xiàn)來自于你 的堅持。

1. B 根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中 The horse trainer said, “ Look,son....” 能夠判斷這個年輕人是馴馬師的兒子。

2. A根據(jù)上文中“go from farm to farm”可以判斷男孩的求學(xué)過程也是 斷斷續(xù)續(xù)的.interrupt使暫停，使中斷；start開始;receive收到; complete完成。

3. C下文說的是“男孩在描述夢想的細節(jié)”，與夢想意思相近的應(yīng)該 是goal“目標(biāo)”，男孩的目標(biāo)是將來擁有一個牧馬場。

4. D報告第一頁上還寫著“下課后來見我”。read意為“寫著”。

5. D根據(jù)上文中“See me after class." 可知答案。

6. A由本段中老師說的“這對于像你這樣的年輕人來說是不現(xiàn)實的夢想……”可知，老師認(rèn)為他是沒有辦法實現(xiàn)夢想的。

7. C此處說的是“這男孩認(rèn)真思量了好久”，and連接兩個并列的形容詞修飾time,故選C項。

8. D由語境可知此處說的是“這是一個非常重要的決定”。

9. B turn in上交，符合語境。

10. A由上文中的paper可知選A.
