28、ethan95percentofstudentswhocompleteHigherAchievementgraduatefromhighschoolontime.”可知,完成HigherAchievement的学生中超过95%的学生能够按时高中毕业。说明HigherAchievement取得了很大的成功。故选A项。3.D推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Roboffsaysresearchshowsthatifstudentsaredoingwellacademicallyineighthgradearoundage13theywillhaveagreaterchanceofgraduatingf
29、romhighschoolandgoingtocollege.”可知,Roboff认为如果学生在八年级的时候成绩比较好,他们就会有更大的可能性按时完成高中学业,然后进入大学。故选D项。4.B推理判断题。根据第二段前两句“So,forthepast40years,aDCorganisationhassteppedintogivearound10,000studentsthesupportandpositiveenvironmenttheyneedtothrive.Thisorganisation,calledHigherAchievement,providesstudentswithawelco
30、mingspace,helpwithclasswork,andcaringteachers.”可知,HigherAchievement给学生提供舒适的环境以及有爱心的老师帮助这些学生完成学业,进入高校学习。故选B项。五、1.Areturn“返回”;call“呼叫”;imagine“想象”;plan“计划”。根据“Asaresulthewasputupforadoption.”可知,Tom后来被收养,可推知他的父母发生车祸后再也没有回来。故选A项。2.Bbusy“繁忙的”;old“年老的”;poor“穷的”;mean“吝啬的”。根据前面的“85-year-old”可知,Tom的祖母“年纪太大”了
31、,无法照顾他。故选B项。3.Bfriend“朋友”;kid“孩子”;student“学生”;parent“父,母”。句意:Tom被一对没有孩子(kids)的中年夫妇收养。故选B项。4.Dbrave“勇敢的”;famous“著名的”;confident“自信的”;kind-hearted“热心的,善良的”。根据“but”可知,这对夫妇虽然不富裕,也没接受过什么教育,但是很“善良(kind-hearted)”。故选D项。5.Cexplore“探索”;bring“带来”;face“面对”;solve“解决”。根据下文“Hedidntlearn6andhadtroubleinreading.”可知,他
32、在学校里“面临(faced)”很多问题。故选C项。6.Dwillingly“乐意地”;proudly“骄傲地”;carefully“仔细地”;quickly“快速地”。根据下文的“Thoughhedidntlearnfast.”可知,Tom无法学得很“快(quickly)”。故选D项。7.Bsister“姐妹”;classmate“同班同学”;brother“兄弟”;teacher“老师”。Tom在学校里遇到这么多困难,嘲笑他的应该是他的“同班同学”。故选B项。8.Asad“难过的”;bored“厌烦的”;tired“疲惫的”;confused“迷茫的”。Tom在学校里被同学们嘲笑,他应该感到
33、很“难过(sad)”。故选A项。9.Ccompetewith“与比赛/竞争”;getalongwith“与相处”;catchupwith“赶上”;agreewith“与某人(观点)一致,同意”。根据上文可知,Tom学习上有障碍,所以“跟不上(catchupwith)”其他同学,然后他就辍学回家了。故选C项。10.Dprove“证明”;cheer“欢呼”;entertain“使娱乐”;teach“教”。联系上文“Buthedidntstoplearning.”可知,Tom辍学在家,没有老师教他,但他没有停止学习。所以他只能“自学”了。teachoneself为固定搭配,意为“自学”。故选D项。1
34、1.Cstrangely“奇怪地”;immediately“立刻地”;finally“最后,终于”;luckily“幸运地”。根据“Aftermanyyearsoflearningathome”可知,Tom“最终(finally)”克服了那些困难,成为一名演说家和作家。故选C项。12.Bhonest“诚实的”;successful“成功的”;smart“聪明的”;strong“强壮的”。Tom克服了那些困难。他成了一位“成功的(successful)”演说家和作家。故选B项。13.Aconfidence“信心”;mood“情绪”;grade“分数”;talent“才能”。根据上文可知,Tom以
35、前在学校里被人嘲笑,他的自尊和“自信心”都很低。后文“thosewhohavelowself-confidence”也有提示。故选A项。14.Dhour“小时”;day“日子,天”;month“月”;year“年”。根据“Aftermanyyearsoflearningathome”可知,实现他的梦想花费了他很多“年”。故选D项。15.Cfamily“家庭”;habit“习惯”;story“故事”;hobby“爱好”。Tom为了激励别人,应该讲述他的人生“故事(story)”以及怎样克服他生活中的挑战。故选C项。16.Blong“长的”;encouraging“鼓舞人心的”;simple“简单
36、的”;interesting“有趣的”。根据后文引用Tom的话可知,这句话很“鼓舞人心(encouraging)”。故选B项。17.Aunless“除非”;when“当时候”;since“既然,自从”;although“尽管”。根据语境可知“除非”你改变,否则你不会有任何进步。句意:你不能指望实现新的目标或者超越你目前的状况除非你改变。故选A项。18.Ccontinue“继续”;keep“保持,保存”;start“开始”;enjoy“欣赏,享受”。作者建议那些不自信的人“开始(start)”了解Tom的故事。故选C项。19.Dforce“强行,强迫”;discover“发现”;send“发送,
37、派遣”;move“移动,进展”。moveforward“前进”。句意:如果你有梦想,从今天开始向梦想前进。故选D项。20.Adifficulty“困难”;gift“礼物,天赋”;dream“梦想”;fun“娱乐,乐趣”。根据前面的“someonelikeTom”可知,这里是指如果有学习“困难”的人都能取得这样的成就,为什么你就不能成功呢?故选A项。六、1.had planned2.earlier3.were told4.but5.why6.were wondering7.helpful8.the9.watched10.relaxing七、Id like to recommend some us
