【解析】本文是一篇記敘文,作者講述了自己從一個自私的人變成現(xiàn)在能為他人著想的人的感受和過程。上大學時一心只想著拿學位而拼搏,結果一個朋友都沒有感到很孤單。后來作者在Vista 護理之家,結識了一位改變了她、把她當作女兒的重病纏身的老婦人。老人告訴她:只有別人感到高興自己才快樂。
(1)考查連詞。before"在......之前";since"自從";or"或者";unless"除非"。根據(jù)上文,以前曾是一個以自我為中心的人,但過去兩年已經(jīng)開始改變。因此我已經(jīng)開始為他人考慮了。為他人考慮就應該在考慮自己之前。故選A。
(2)考查形容詞。famous"著名的";simple"簡單的";different"不同的";skilled"熟練的"。句意:我非常高興,以為我正變成一個與以前那個以自我為中心的人不一樣的人了。故選C。
(3)考查名詞。education"教育";career"事業(yè)";change"改變’;tour“旅游”。句意:我認為我的變化是開始于就讀Palomar大學的時候。故選C。
(4)考查名詞。balance"平衡";homewor"k家庭作業(yè)";interest"興趣";degree"學位"。句意:起初,我只是想要得到我的學歷,所以單獨呆著。故選D。
(5)考查動詞。talked"談話";wrote"寫";lied"撒謊";reported"報道"。句意:我以為我比其他人都聰明,所以我很少跟班上的人說話。故選A。
(6)考查形容詞。careful"小心翼翼的";lonely"孤單的";curious"好奇的";guilty"有罪的"。根據(jù)下文除了我每個人都交了朋友,都很快樂。因此,我確實很孤獨。故選B。
(7)考查名詞。argument“論證”;game“游戲”;experiment“實驗”;defence “防御”。根據(jù)下文我開始詢問周圍的人怎么樣,可知我開始嘗試與人交流。此處experiment“實驗”,表示我開始嘗試一個實驗。故選C。
(8)考查動詞。offered“提供”;dared“敢于”;hesitated“猶豫”;happened“發(fā)生”。offer to help“主動提出幫助”,根據(jù)前后文語境,作者詢問他人是否有他可以幫忙的麻煩。故選A。
(9)考查名詞。dream“夢”;problem“問題”;duty“責任”;step“步子”。句意:對我來說,那確實是一個很大的進步。step“步伐,邁步”。此處意為我有了一次很大的邁步故選D。
(10)考查代詞。句意:他們當中的兩個現(xiàn)在還是我的好朋友。介詞后面用賓格。故選C。
(11)考查名詞。attitude“態(tài)度”;hobby“愛好”;hope“希望”;luck“幸運”。根據(jù)本段的敘述,我在Vista Nursing Home做兼職的時候所遇到的一件事是使我有了徹底轉變以前態(tài)度的動機。故此處選attitude。故選A。
(12)考查名詞。friend“朋友”;partner“伙伴”;guide“向導”;guest“客人”。句意:一個有阿爾茨海默氏病的老人成為了我的朋友。從后文可以看出她們的關系很好。故選A。
(13)考查形容詞。polite“有禮貌的”;happy“高興的”;strange“奇怪的”;confident“自信的”。句意:因為老人認為我是她女兒,所以每次我去她房間的時候,她很高興。故選B。
(14)考查動詞。bothered"煩擾";answered"應答";visited"拜訪";trusted"信任"。句意:她的女兒從來都沒來看望她,因此我就取代了她女兒的位置。故選C。
(15)考查動詞。explain“解釋”;guess“猜”;declare“宣布”;see“明白”。句意:她讓我明白,讓他人心情愉快同時也會讓自己心情很好。此處see的意思為明白的意思,而不是作看見講。故選D。
(16)考查形容詞。homeless“無家可歸的”;hopeless“沒有希望的”;bad-tempered“易怒的”;heartbroken“傷心的”。句意:當她去世的時候,我很傷心。經(jīng)常相處的老人去世了,我應該很傷心。故選D。
(17)考查形容詞。quieter“更安靜的”;busier“更忙的”;better“更好的”;richer“更富有的”。句意:比起以前,我覺得我現(xiàn)在是一個更好的人。故選C。

【題目】It had coaster brakes and only one gear (齒輪). My two older brothers used it before me. The twenty-inch, black frame showed its age. It was scratched and nicked from years of use, but I didn't care, It was mine now.

My tricycle stood by the front steps of our house----forgotten. In the front yard.. I held the handlebars, swung my right leg over and settled myself onto the seat. My legs weren't long enough for both to touch the ground at the same time. I leaned to one side one foot supported me, I looked around, made sure no one was watching and kicked off My feet reached for the pedals and began to pump.

After a few wobbly (不穩(wěn)定的))yards, I fell off, and landed on my shoulder in the grass. I jumped up, brushed myself off, got back on and fell again.

A week later, I rode in circles around the yard. Always to the left, I didn’t wobble or fall. I was steady as I followed the beaten trail ['d created in the grass. I was free and I was flying.

“Michacl!” Mum called. ‘Supper is read!’

I turned toward the front steps, wobbled and fell to the ground. I didn’t know how to go straight or to the right. I’d learned to travel in circles to the left.

I married and became a Dad ---- I stumbled(跌跌撞撞). There was someone else to think about new turns to stumble through.
