20、鼓励下拿起了画笔画画。故事反映了自信的重要性。1.A根据第二段第二句“她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事情”可知应选A。2.C根据文章主线选择“处理”事情。handle在此作动词，意为“处理”。3.A根据第二段第一句中的ask可知作者回应的是“问题”。4.D本句的them指代opinions，form opinion形成观点。5.C后半句“so I began to show up to paint more and more ”中作者做的事情更多是Mrs.Neidl信任的结果，说明“我”是个可信赖(reliable)的人。6B引号里是一句鼓励性质的话，说明这话是她的座右铭(motto)。7Dta
21、ke risks冒险。作者开始是很不自信，因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险，是自我突破的过程，而且文章最后一段也提到了take chances (冒险)。8Aimprove upon 改进。根据上句“不存在失败”，可知事物应只待改进。9C本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程，根据前文提示作者曾很不自信，后来在Mrs.Neidl的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔画画。10.CMrs.Neidl使作者意识到自己想要的是什么，所以用realized。11.B发现了一项爱好和一个未知的世界，选discovered。12.B句意：她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做。care 在乎，符合文意。13.D前面说take
22、 chances (冒险)，后面理所当然说不要怕(失败)，而且前文反复出现了afraid 这个词，是全篇的关键词。14A通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs.Neidl对作者的信任，并在第二段明确使用了trust这个词，因此推断出选A。15.C句意：她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不可能的事情。inspire激励。二、本文讲述了弟弟为患癌症的姐姐输血的感人亲情故事。1named过去分词作定语，相当于定语从句：who was named。2from根据上下文应填介词from表示“从她弟弟身体输血给她”。3who引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语。4illness此处应填ill的名词形式作fight的
23、宾语。5before根据上下文应填before。全句意思是：“ 我看见他犹豫了片刻才深吸一口气说”。6if空格前后是两个完整的句子，故考虑用连词，根据句意“如果(输血)能够挽救莉子，我愿意这样做。”可知此处要填连词if。7As在这里是“随着”的意思。8seeingsee的逻辑主语是he，此处用现在分词作主要动作lay(躺着)的伴随状语。9his他姐姐的脸上慢慢有了颜色，而“他(自己)的脸”却变得苍白起来，因为把血输给了姐姐。10misunderstood根据后文“he thought.(他认为)”，证明小男孩是误解了医生。三、1.F关键信息“swimming, cycling and rais
