The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often          about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤兒) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who           that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this           girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her            in with us? There had to be a           .
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had            her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)           copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming          show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had          . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted          the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough          . Could you help me, Suzy?”
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s             were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students            them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw          well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “           this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a             ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I            , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never          anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to            their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to ne all right.

【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。本文講了一個(gè)非洲來(lái)的兒童Suzy被美國(guó)家庭收養(yǎng)，為讓孩子了解美國(guó)生活，他們把孩子送進(jìn)學(xué)校和美國(guó)孩子一起學(xué)習(xí)。但那些美國(guó)孩子卻經(jīng)常嘲笑她。一次偶然的機(jī)會(huì)，“我”發(fā)現(xiàn)了她的繪畫才能，并把她介紹給藝術(shù)老師。藝術(shù)老師也認(rèn)同她的繪畫才能，讓她幫自己制作才藝秀的海報(bào)。在才藝秀結(jié)束的時(shí)候，校長(zhǎng)頒發(fā)給Suzy一個(gè)特殊的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，同學(xué)們也認(rèn)可和接納了她。
小題1:A 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析及語(yǔ)境理解。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，這里是說(shuō)“班里的男孩子會(huì)拿她開(kāi)玩笑，然后就是哄堂大笑。而她也只好眼含淚水地假裝看書�！眏oke about 拿…開(kāi)玩笑，care about介意，在乎，forget about忘記，worry about為…擔(dān)憂。
小題2:B 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析及語(yǔ)境理解。這個(gè)非洲孤兒被美國(guó)家庭收養(yǎng)，美國(guó)家庭決定（認(rèn)定）和美國(guó)孩子在一起才能讓她學(xué)會(huì)美國(guó)生活方式。decide這里是認(rèn)定、斷定的意思，report報(bào)告、報(bào)道，complain抱怨，投訴，question質(zhì)疑，提問(wèn)。
小題3:C 考查形容詞詞義辨析。根據(jù)上文敘述，這個(gè)女孩比同齡12歲的孩子都要瘦小，所以“我低頭看著這個(gè)小小的女孩子，下決心無(wú)論如何都要幫助她”。rich富有的，proud驕傲的，popular流行的，受歡迎的。顯然都不符合語(yǔ)境。tiny ="very" small。
小題4:C 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析和上下文語(yǔ)境。我打算幫助這個(gè)女孩與大家融洽相處。文章標(biāo)題已給出提示。fit in with適合，與…一致。
小題5:D 考查名詞詞義辨析。根據(jù)上文決定幫助小女孩與大家一致，必須尋找一個(gè)辦法/方法。manner做事或行為方式,多指行動(dòng)的特殊方式或獨(dú)特的方法，pattern指模式、花樣、圖案等，choice指選擇，way指方式、方法、手段等，可指一般的方法，有時(shí)也指?jìng)�(gè)人的方法或方式。因?yàn)檫@里沒(méi)有談到什么方法，所以只能用籠統(tǒng)的方法way。
小題6:C 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析和語(yǔ)境。Suzy把書打開(kāi)到火車圖片那里。open…to把…翻到，to是介詞，表達(dá)“到…地方”。其他均不合適。
小題7:B 考查形容詞詞義辨析和上下文語(yǔ)境。她對(duì)火車圖的復(fù)制，效果怎樣要看文中第44題后的陳述，“why, it’s wonderful”可知，非常好，與此題選項(xiàng)中的perfect相近。
小題8:D 考查名詞詞義辨析和上下文語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)后文第45題后的陳述“the talent show”我們知道這是一個(gè)才藝秀。
小題9:D 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析和語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)上文陳述，Suzy在畫火車，所以這里應(yīng)該是“我”把她畫的東西展示給藝術(shù)老師看。color意思為涂色和染色, write書寫，carve雕刻，draw畫。
小題10:C 考查介詞。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，這里是老師拿出一張“為才藝秀”做的海報(bào)。for意為“為…”。
小題11:B 考查名詞詞義辨析和語(yǔ)境。由該空前面“more”和空后的”help”兩個(gè)詞可知，老師還需要更多的海報(bào)，但老師“沒(méi)有足夠的時(shí)間”，所以才請(qǐng)Suzy幫忙制作。
小題12:D 考查名詞詞義辨析和上下文語(yǔ)境。上文已談到，藝術(shù)老師想讓Suzy幫忙制作一些海報(bào)，所以，才藝秀當(dāng)天應(yīng)該到處都能看到Suzy制作的海報(bào)。
小題13:A 考查形容詞詞義辨析。才藝秀當(dāng)天大家都表演了，還要頒發(fā)一個(gè)特殊的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)給制作海報(bào)的人，因?yàn)橹谱骱?bào)原本不是才藝秀的內(nèi)容。
小題14:A 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析和上下文。文中這句話的意思說(shuō)“我們一個(gè)學(xué)生畫了這些海報(bào)”，除了draw以外，我們還可以使用paint一詞，表示繪畫。
小題15:B 考查副詞詞義。修飾形容詞或副詞，表示那么，那樣，我們一般用so，也可以用that，二者意思相近。that well="so" well。
小題16:D 考查狀語(yǔ)從句的連接詞和上下文語(yǔ)境�！耙�?yàn)檫@位同學(xué)如此努力地畫了這些海報(bào)”，所以值得獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。since="now" that/because。
小題17:A 考查名詞詞義辨析和語(yǔ)境。因?yàn)榕Ξ嬃诉@些海報(bào)，這位同學(xué)值得獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。prize獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)， rank等級(jí)，秩序，rest休息，place地點(diǎn)，位置。
小題18:B 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。該空描寫作者的思想活動(dòng)，是意識(shí)到她從來(lái)沒(méi)有擁有過(guò)什么，這些成就和別人的承認(rèn)第一次讓她意識(shí)到自己的能力和重要。Reply回答，realize意識(shí)到，remember回憶，regret后悔，遺憾。
小題19:C 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。因?yàn)槭峭鈦?lái)的移民，沒(méi)有融入大家的生活中，這次活動(dòng)讓大家看到了她擁有的東西。
小題20:A 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。因?yàn)樗嫷煤茫玫叫ｉL(zhǎng)表?yè)P(yáng)，才能得到大家認(rèn)可，所以大家為她鼓掌。clap one’s hands鼓掌。

When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.
My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.
Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.
Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.
小題1:After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.
A．divorce her husbandB．be a wedding photographer
C．pay off all her debtD．go travelling abroad
小題2: What can we learn about the author from the 2nd paragraph?
A．She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip.
B．She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer.
C．She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.
D．She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.
小題3:The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.
A．her personal reasonsB．her photographing skills
C．free marketing for bloggingD．booming of travel industry
小題4: What did the author think of her two years' work?
A．Inspiring. B．Appealing. C．Interesting. D．Challenging.

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

Steven Spielberg was not  a scholar, and his classmates teased him. Rather than read,  the kid really preferred running around with an 8mm camera, shooting home­made movies, which he showed to friends for a small fee.
In his first year of high school, he dropped out. But  when his parents persuaded him to return, he was mistakenly placed in a learning­disabled class, which lasted one  month. Only when the family moved to another town did he  land up in a more suitable high school, where he eventually  graduated.
After being denied entrance into a traditional film­making school, Steven Spielherg enrolled in English at California State University at Long Beach. Then in 1965, he  recalls, in one of those serendipitous moments, his life  took a complete turn. Visiting Universal Studios, he met  Chuck Silvers, an executive in the editorial department. Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him  back sometime to visit.
He appeared the next day. Spielberg, dressed in a dark  suit, carrying his father's briefcase with nothing inside but  a sandwich and candy bars walked confidently up to the  guard at the gate of Universal and gave him a casual wave.  The guard waved back. He was in.
“For the entire summer，” Spielberg remembers, “I  dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and  writers, including Silvers, who knew the kid wasn't a studio employee, but winked at him. I even found an office  that wasn't being used, and became a squatter (擅自占用他人房子的人). I bought some plastic tiles and put my  name  in  the  building  directory:  Steven  Spielberg,  Room 23C.”
It paid off for everyone. Ten years later, the 28­year­old Spielberg directed Jaws, which took in $470 million,   then the biggest grossing movie of all time. Dozens of films   and awards have followed because Steven Spielberg knew   what his teachers didn't—talent is in the eyes of the filmmaker.
小題1:Why was Steven Spielberg laughed at by his classmates?
A．He was the youngest boy.

Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21­year­old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home'，but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education，” says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (貸款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition(學(xué)費(fèi))continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won't have an affordable system of higher education，” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
小題1:According to Paragraph 1，why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?
A．The twins wasted too much money.
B．The father was out of work.
C．Their saving ran out
D．The family fell apart.
小題2:How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?
A．They asked their kids to come home.
B．They borrowed $20,000 from the school.
C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part­time jobs.
D．They got help from the school and the federal government.
小題3:Financial aid administrators believe that ________.
A．more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
B．the government will receive more letters of complaint
C．college tuition fees will double soon
D．America's unemployment will fall
小題4:．What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
A．They blamed the government for the tuition increase.
B．Their income remained steady in the last decade.
C．They will try their best to send kids to college.
D．Their debts will be paid off within 25 years
