22、e级别;D. interest兴趣。上大学的目的,就是为了得学位,所以作者一开始,就只是为了拿学位。故选C。5答案与解析:A考查动词辨析。A. talked谈论;B. wrote写;C. lied说谎;D. reported报道。talk to sb.和某人谈话,由上句I thought I was smarter than everyone else,可知,作者自恃清高,看不起别人,因而也不与人说话交流。故选A。6答案与解析:B考查形容词辨析。A. careful细心的;B. lonely孤独的;curious好奇的;guilty犯罪的。孤独的,没有朋友,正好对应下文的It seemed a
23、s if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun.故选B。7答案与解析:C考查名词辨析。A. argument争论;B. game运动;C. experiment实验;D. defense防御。对应下文开始做的事情。根据下文I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I _8_ to help.可知,作者这样做,是一个尝试。故选C。8答案与解析:B考查动词辨析。A. dared敢;B. offered提
24、供;C. hesitated犹豫;D. happened发生。根据前一句if they were having trouble可推知,作者是愿意提供帮助的。offer to do sth.表示主动提出做某件事情,更能体现出想改变的决心。故选B。9答案与解析:D考查名词辨析。A. dream梦想;B. problem问题;C. duty责任;D. step台阶、步骤。表示一种进步。紧接着,对应下文的具体的进步之处。故选D。10答案与解析:C考查代词辨析。A. us我们;B. which哪个;C. them他们;D. whom谁,who的宾格。这是一个由and连接的并列句,前后都是一个简单句,后半
25、句中表达“其中有两人”,所以用two of them。故选C。11答案与解析:A考查名词辨析。A. attitude态度;B. hobby爱好;C. hope希望;D. luck幸运。由首句可知,作者之前是个selfcentered person,通过一次经历发生了变化并对比自己的今昔,所以可得出是attitude(态度)的变化。故选A。12答案与解析:A考查名词词义辨析。A. friend朋友;B. partner伙伴;C. guide向导;D. guest客人。作者去敬老院做兼职,与老人之间成了朋友。故选A。13答案与解析:B考查形容词词义辨析。A. polite礼貌的;B. happy快
26、乐的;C. strange奇怪的;D. confident自信的。通过空格后面because she thought I was her daughter可推测出old lady是非常高兴的。故选B。14答案与解析:C考查动词词义辨析。A. bothered打扰;B. answered回答;C. visited参观;D. trusted信任。通过文中信息得知old lady是一个病人,可知她真正的女儿从来都不看望她。故选C。15答案与解析:D考查动词词义辨析。A. explain解释;B.guess猜测;C. declare宣称;D. see明白;理解。由后边句子making others f

28、18答案与解析:A考查动词词义辨析。A. forget忘记;B. face面对;C. improve改进;D. analyze分析。作者通过这次的experience发生了好的变化,可推测作者想记住这次经历,所以选will not forget,其他均不符合语境。故选A。19答案与解析:D考查动词词义辨析。A. forced强迫;B. preferred更喜欢;C. ordered命令;D. taught教。作者通过这次经历使自己变得更好,所以可推测这次经历“教会”了自己什么。故选D。20答案与解析:B考查动词词义辨析。A. miss想念、错过;B. like喜欢;C. wonder想知道;D. expect期待。通过文章可推测出与之前比较作者更“喜欢”现在的自己,故选B。
