2、essies bright dreams had grown very 3 . The school was actually just a few rooms in an old building in the same rundown neighborhood. 4 meeting Americans and making friends, that was much 5 said than done Although some of Jessies classmates were 6 and outgoing,they were foreigners. 7 of the teachers
3、 seemed interested in spending time with their 8 outside of class Where could Jessie find nice,trustworthy Americans to 9 to especially in that part of town? She didnt know, so she spent most evenings alone in her room, studying grammar and feeling 10 . Maybe Ill go have some nooclles,she thought. T
4、hat always seems to help when Im feeling 11 . There was a fairly good Asian noodle shop down the street. Before long, Jessie was slurping a nice hot howl of beef noodle& 12 she was eating, a tall woman with blond hair entered the shop. The woman sat down at the next table and 13 a bowl of noodle sou
5、p. She looked sad and fired, and Jessie felt 14 for her. Jessie wanted to say something, to 15 to this woman somehow. But what should she say? Finally, she said simply, The noodles are good here, arent they? The woman smiled and said, They sure are. Thus began a one-hour 16 . Jessie learned that the
6、 woman had recently lost both her husband and her job and was feeling depressed. 17 she told Jessie that just having someone to talk to really 18 . That was precisely the way Jessie felt about her own situation.That conversation was great English 19 for Jessie. But more 20 , it was the beginning of
7、a great friendship, and a great year. 1. A. experience B. enter C. understand D. study 答案：A 指导：Jessie初到美国，充满了理想，她既想跟美国人交朋友，又想“体验”美国文化。后面的firsthand一手地、亲身地”也对此答案有一定的提示作用。B项enter当“进入”讲；D项study当“学习、研究”讲，从后面她想改进自己的英语这一点，可排除此选项，她到美国的主要目的是学习英语，而不是研究美国的文化；她人在美国，对美国文化不仅仅停留在“理解”的层面上，故排除C项。2. A. find B. love C
8、. meet D. comfort 答案：C 指导：前面已经出现了提示meet Americans，再考虑文章最后，她确实“认识”了特殊的人。find发现、找到”，comfort安慰”均脱离了文章的主题；love“喜欢”文章中没有信息支持。3 A. clear B. dim C. true D. hopeless 答案：B 指导：dim当形容词“暗淡的”讲，可用来修饰灯光、梦想等。从前面的转折词but以及后面描述她对各方面情况的失望情绪可以断定，此处指她的梦想开始暗淡下来。clear清晰的”，true真实的”，与此处逻辑相背；干扰性最大的是D项，hopeless用来修饰人，意为“没有希望的、没
9、有救的”，如：The teacher thinks the boy student is hopeless(老师认为这个男学生没救了)。4. A. Instead of B. Rather than C. As for D. Except for 答案：C 指导：asfor意为“至于；说到”，用来连接上文，有时暗示不关心或轻视，如：As for you，I never want to see you here again(至于你，我再也不想在这儿见到你了)。instead of意为“而不是”，用来连接前后两个并列成分，如前后都出现动名词、不定式、介词短语等；ratherthan意思也是“而不是
10、”，用法类似于insteadof；exceptfor意为“只是”，用来修正前面的总体说法或评价，如：Yourcompositionisgoodexcept forafewspellingmistakes(你的作文很好，只是有几处拼写 错误)。5. A. happier B. easier C. harder D. better 答案：B 指导：此处是说认识美国人很难，easier said than done意为“说比做容易；说起来容易，做起来难”。如选happier， harder，better都是因为没有很好地理解此处作者要表达的意思。6. A. friendly B. honest C.
11、 cold D. strange 答案：A 指导：although引导让步状语从句，只有friendly符合逻辑：尽管她的同学非常友好、开朗，但他们毕竟也是外国人。cold，strange不符合此处的表达逻辑，honest不是文章说明的中心问题。7. A. All B. Any C. None D. Some 答案：C 指导：通过下文Jesste找不到真正的美国人进行交流看，这儿表达的意思是老师们不愿跟外国学生课外交往。none表示三者以上的全部否定，符合上下文的逻辑。all，some都违背Jessie因为没有朋友交流而孤单这一逻辑；any都用于疑问句或否定句.8. A. friends B.
12、 family C. teachers D. students 答案：D 指导：通过后面的“课外”可断定，此处指的是学生。这儿指老师也不愿跟学生在课外交流。前面已经出现了“老师”，后面又出现了课外，因此老师在课外交流的只能是“学生”，而不是家人、朋友或其他老师。9. A. turn B. talk C. go D. come 答案：B 指导：Jessie想结交美国人跟他们交谈，以提高自己的英语水平，同时跟他们交朋友。talk to sb“与交谈”，符合语境。turntosb“转向某人”，多指向某人求教或求救；go to come to 后面多与表示“地点”的名词搭配。10. A. sad B.
13、 angry C. bored D. tired 答案：C 指导：此处指Jessie找不到美国人与其交谈、交朋友，因此倍感孤独，一个人在教室里学习，当然是感到“厌倦、无聊”。bored是过去分词形式的形容词，意为“感到厌倦的”。sad，angry在意义上有点太过，tired主要指身体上“感到疲劳的”。通过文章的叙述可知，此处主要强调Jessie精神上的孤独彷徨。11. A. out B. down C. cold D. up 答案：B 指导：befeeldown是习语，意为“感到失望、情绪低落” befeeldisappointed此处Jesse认为吃碗面条也许能使自己情绪好起来。out意义不
14、通；叩意义与down正好相反；feelcold指身体上感到“冷”。12. A. Before B. Although C. Since D. While 答案：D 指导：while此处引导时间状语从句，表示“在过程中”、“在动作持续的时候”。before和since也可引导时间状语从句，但意思不一样：before意为“在之前”；since意为“自从过去一个时间或动作到现在”，前面多用现在完成时；although引导让步状语从句，意为“尽管”。13. A. asked B. made C. begged D. ordered 答案：D 指导：妇女坐下来要了一碗汤面，order sth意为“要、订
15、购”。begged意为“乞讨”，made制造”都脱离了具体的语境，这位妇女也是餐馆里的顾客；ask后面不能直接跟所要的东西，而应该说askforsth14. A. doubt B. pity C. sadness D. eagerness 答案：B 指导：看到这位妇女落魄的样子，Jessie对她产生了同情心，其他选项不合逻辑。feel pity for sb意为“对某人感到同情”，相当于feelsorryforsb如选doubt怀疑”；sadness悲哀”；eagerness急切”都不能准确表达此处的语境。15. A. reach out B. go out C. come over D. g
16、et across 答案：A reach out愿意是“伸手去够”，此处应是其引申意义“与某人交流、沟通”。come over意为“走上前来”；get across意为“穿过、横穿”；go out出去”，如选上面的三项，都没有理解作者此处所表达的意义。16. A. discussion B. friendship C. conversation D. understanding答案：C 指导：这儿指Jessie不经意间与这位妇女进行了一个小时的“交谈”，从而开始了她们长达一年的友谊。如选friendship，understanding，前面有“一个小时的”来修饰，显然不合逻辑；他们也不是在“讨
17、论”问题，因此不选A.17. A. But B. As C. Because D. After 答案：A 指导：前文妇女介绍自己因为失去丈夫和工作而非常伤心，此处又说跟陌生人交谈会对事情有帮助，前后形成的应是转折关系。as可引导时间状语从句，意为“当的时候”，也可引导原因状语从句，意为“因为”；because引导原因状语从句；after引导时间状语从句。18. A. stopped B. improved C. helped D. reduced 答案：C 指导：help在此处用作不及物动词，意为“有帮助、起作用”。improve侧重指水平质量的改进和提高；reduce侧重指数量的减少；sto
18、p意为“停止”。19. A. talking B. lesson C. culture D. practice 答案：D 指导：从前面的修饰语English可知，此处只能是“英语练习”。 前文已经出现Jassie想进行英语练习，以便提高自己英语水平的叙述；talking只能指人的行为，而本句的主语是thatconversation；此处Jassie跟那位妇女仅仅是随便“交谈”，因此不选lesson和culture20. A. interestingly B. strangelyC. luckily D. importantly 答案：D 指导：moreimportantly用来突出后者：更为重
19、要的是。本文强调的中心不是“有趣”，strangely更是偏离了文章的中心；luckily带有“侥幸”的味道，显然是没有好好理解作者的意图。AMost of my earliest childhood memories are of the beach in the hot sun, building sandcastles, burying Dad in the sand.
