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.

解析【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。本文講了一個非洲來的兒童Suzy被美國家庭收養(yǎng),為讓孩子了解美國生活,他們把孩子送進學校和美國孩子一起學習。但那些美國孩子卻經常嘲笑她。一次偶然的機會,“我”發(fā)現了她的繪畫才能,并把她介紹給藝術老師。藝術老師也認同她的繪畫才能,讓她幫自己制作才藝秀的海報。在才藝秀結束的時候,校長頒發(fā)給Suzy一個特殊的獎項,同學們也認可和接納了她。
【小題1】A 考查動詞詞義辨析及語境理解。根據語境,這里是說“班里的男孩子會拿她開玩笑,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…開玩笑,care about介意,在乎,forget about忘記,worry about為…擔憂。
【小題2】B 考查動詞詞義辨析及語境理解。這個非洲孤兒被美國家庭收養(yǎng),美國家庭決定(認定)和美國孩子在一起才能讓她學會美國生活方式。decide這里是認定、斷定的意思,report報告、報道,complain抱怨,投訴,question質疑,提問。
【小題3】C 考查形容詞詞義辨析。根據上文敘述,這個女孩比同齡12歲的孩子都要瘦小,所以“我低頭看著這個小小的女孩子,下決心無論如何都要幫助她”。rich富有的,proud驕傲的,popular流行的,受歡迎的。顯然都不符合語境。tiny ="very" small。
【小題4】C 考查動詞詞義辨析和上下文語境。我打算幫助這個女孩與大家融洽相處。文章標題已給出提示。fit in with適合,與…一致。
【小題5】D 考查名詞詞義辨析。根據上文決定幫助小女孩與大家一致,必須尋找一個辦法/方法。manner做事或行為方式,多指行動的特殊方式或獨特的方法,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,有時也指個人的方法或方式。因為這里沒有談到什么方法,所以只能用籠統(tǒng)的方法way。
【小題6】C 考查動詞詞義辨析和語境。Suzy把書打開到火車圖片那里。open…to把…翻到,to是介詞,表達“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境。她對火車圖的復制,效果怎樣要看文中第44題后的陳述,“why, it’s wonderful”可知,非常好,與此題選項中的perfect相近。
【小題8】D 考查名詞詞義辨析和上下文語境。根據后文第45題后的陳述“the talent show”我們知道這是一個才藝秀。
【小題9】D 考查動詞詞義辨析和語境。根據上文陳述,Suzy在畫火車,所以這里應該是“我”把她畫的東西展示給藝術老師看。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。根據文章內容,這里是老師拿出一張“為才藝秀”做的海報。for意為“為…”。
【小題11】B 考查名詞詞義辨析和語境。由該空前面“more”和空后的”help”兩個詞可知,老師還需要更多的海報,但老師“沒有足夠的時間”,所以才請Suzy幫忙制作。
【小題12】D 考查名詞詞義辨析和上下文語境。上文已談到,藝術老師想讓Suzy幫忙制作一些海報,所以,才藝秀當天應該到處都能看到Suzy制作的海報。
【小題13】A 考查形容詞詞義辨析。才藝秀當天大家都表演了,還要頒發(fā)一個特殊的獎項給制作海報的人,因為制作海報原本不是才藝秀的內容。
【小題14】A 考查動詞詞義辨析和上下文。文中這句話的意思說“我們一個學生畫了這些海報”,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 考查狀語從句的連接詞和上下文語境!耙驗檫@位同學如此努力地畫了這些海報”,所以值得獎勵。since="now" that/because。
【小題17】A 考查名詞詞義辨析和語境。因為努力畫了這些海報,這位同學值得獎勵。prize獎勵, rank等級,秩序,rest休息,place地點,位置。
【小題18】B 考查動詞詞義辨析。該空描寫作者的思想活動,是意識到她從來沒有擁有過什么,這些成就和別人的承認第一次讓她意識到自己的能力和重要。Reply回答,realize意識到,remember回憶,regret后悔,遺憾。
【小題19】C 考查動詞詞義辨析。因為是外來的移民,沒有融入大家的生活中,這次活動讓大家看到了她擁有的東西。
【小題20】A 考查動詞詞義辨析。因為她畫得好,得到校長表揚,才能得到大家認可,所以大家為她鼓掌。clap one’s hands鼓掌。
