【解析】文章講述的是一個從來沒有通過考試的學生，因為老師的一句話，一句鼓勵，從而轉(zhuǎn)變了，向著好的方向發(fā)展

1.句意理解，盡管他有很好的閱讀技能，但是他自從一年級就一直不及格。

2.句意理解，他是個大個子，然而，他一直不引起人們的注意，直到懷特夫人的出現(xiàn)

3.上下文，因為他是個學生，因此該處指的是在他年輕的生命中，第一次無法把眼睛從老師的身上移開。

4.句意理解，然而他還是考試沒及格

5.上下文，根據(jù)下文的 Steve hurried through his tests可知，該句指的是的整個年級都要參加考試

6.句意理解，該處指的是他像往常一樣，繼續(xù)想些其他的東西，跟上課考試無關(guān)的事情

7.上下文，根據(jù)下文pay attention可知，老師對他的表現(xiàn)不滿意，因此選擇貶義詞，

8.句意理解，他轉(zhuǎn)過頭來看老師，

9.詞組，go over 檢查，復習 run over碾過 turn over 轉(zhuǎn)交 hand over移交，該處句意為，老師在查看考試的結(jié)果

10.上下文，根據(jù)The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class可知，老師說所有人都很好，除了一個孩子，

11.句意理解，此處意為告訴你們這個結(jié)構(gòu)讓我很傷心，

12.句意理解，此處指的是老師用嚴厲的眼光盯著他看。

13.根據(jù)still可知，他仍然考試不及格，仍然不會去做作業(yè)wouldn't意為不會去干某事

14.上下文，根據(jù)Someone cared about him? Someone, so beautiful and perfect, cared about him!可知，這是他內(nèi)心的想法，因此該處意為他深思著回家了。

15.上下文，根據(jù)后文的Steve was the first to    36   his paper可知，老師對周末的作業(yè)進行測試

16.句意理解，他是第一個交試卷的學生 hand in意為上交

17.上下文，以前steve表現(xiàn)都不好，試卷作的也不好，這次第一個交試卷了，因此老師感到很驚訝。

18.句意理解，老師看到他的試卷后被他試卷的內(nèi)容震驚了，
