12、 grade in science and a low one in selfesteem. Though I had a few friends, I wasnt popular. I was picked last in football and I sometimes ate lunch by myself. I remember the day Brittany came to our school. Her teeth were crooked (歪斜的), and she was a little overweight. Not that this mattered though,
13、 because she walked around like she was better than all of us. She was incredibly intimidating (吓人的) and outspoken. Around Brittany, I tried my best to go unnoticed. Standing out or stealing her spotlight could only result in one thing: confrontation. Brittany was always the first girl picked for te
14、ams; I was lucky if I was picked at all. I was thrown the ball while she stood with the quarterback (四分卫), chatting about the last party shed gone to. I had never been to a party before or kissed a boy. One day, Brittany bribed a classmate to ask me to the school dance. I was flattered. Then Brittan
15、y told me during science class that she had put him up to it. She asked in front of everyone, “Why would anyone even want you？” I went home and cried. Although she was seemingly perfect in everyones eyes, I wanted to be everything that she wasnt and yet a million times more perfect. Brittany was so
16、intimidating and violent, but I wanted to be serene (平静的) and not at all confrontational. I found Brittanys online profile a few weeks ago. She still had the same chubby (圆胖的) face and mocking (嘲笑的) smile, and had posted halfnaked pictures of herself. But as I read on, I realized that Brittany had d
17、ied in a drunken driving accident a year ago. She had been 16 and pregnant at the time. Suddenly my perception (感知) of Brittany changed from a bad influence into a struggling little girl whose life was taken before she could understand right from wrong. My experience with Brittany taught me that tho
18、ugh we are all naive in our youth, the choices we make will impact on us forever. I will always remember Brittany as that loud, overconfident girl.

23、成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词短语作定语。2解析：选D要起到很好的防护作用，这些植物就必须有较多的树叶，故用 with。3解析：选B农民们在庄稼地的周围种上了一排排的树。in lines“一排排，一行行”。in place“适当的位置，恰当的位置”。4解析：选C防护林防止风毁坏庄稼。此处应选择 destroy 的同义词， damage “毁坏，破坏”，符合语境。 break “打破”； steal “偷窃”；hurt “伤害”，多用于对身体或精神的伤害。5解析：选B在西非的部分地区进行了很好的防护林研究工作。 do studies on “对进行研究”。此处为过去分词短语作定语，修饰 stu
24、dies。6解析：选D跟没有受到防护的地区相比，庄稼收成显然是更高了。7解析：选Ccompared to/with“与相比较”，此处为过去分词短语作状语。8解析：选B然而，防护林容许少量的风进入庄稼地也是有好处的。 when “当时候”，符合语境。9解析：选A完全阻止住风透过植物墙，强气旋就会发生，对于当地极为不利。completely “完全地”，符合句意。slowly“慢慢地”；quickly“快地，迅速地”；partly“部分地”。10解析：选D强气旋会卷走地面泥土。 lift 强调从低处到很高处的移动。drop“丢弃；使滴下”； raise“提高；抬起，举起(幅度较小)”； stop“
25、停止”。11解析：选C由空前的 in the air 可知，此处应用 where 引导定语从句， where 在从句中作地点状语。12解析：选Bfor this reason 为固定搭配，意为“由于这个原因”。13解析：选A要记住的一条简单规则是，to remember 为不定式作后置定语，含有将来的意思，符合语境。remembered 为过去分词，“被记住”，表示动作已完成；remembering 表示动作进行，均不合语境。14解析：选B所以至少要两排防护林才能更好发挥作用。at least “至少”，符合句意。at most“至多”。15解析：选D承接上句，构成 one .the othe
26、r . “一个另一个”，为固定搭配。16解析：选B在防护林周围种植一些树木，也会对防护林起到一定的保护作用。17解析：选A防护林保护土地和庄稼免受风沙的侵害。 protect . from .“保护免受的危害”。 keep . from .“避开；阻止”；separate . from .“把和分开”。18解析：选C防护林除了防护功能外，还能用其木材做一些木制产品。19解析：选D文章通篇都在介绍防护林的信息，information “信息，资料”，符合句意。 news“新闻；消息”； report“报告”；knowledge“知识”。20解析：选D防护林的主要作用就是保护土壤，防止水土流失。
27、conservation “保护，保存”，符合句意。 consequence“后果，结果”； concretion“凝固，凝固物”； construction“建设，建造”。.语篇解读：本文主要讲了作者和Brittany是截然相反的两种人，但也正是因为Brittany作者才会像现在这样谦逊。1解析：选A推理判断题。文章的前三段对作者自己和Brittany分别进行了描述，告诉读者两人是截然相反的两种人。第三段的前两句提到了“我尽力不想让自己受到别人注意”，“而别人的优秀或是抢了Brittany的风头都会引起她的对抗”，所以作者应该是尽力不想和Brittany起冲突。2解析：选B推理判断题。从第四
28、段得知B正确，Brittany是故意唆使那个男生邀请作者参加舞会的，所以A不对。C文中没有提到。文中虽然说到Brittany总是第一个被球队挑上，但并没有说这是因为她的优秀，所以D也不对。3解析：选D细节理解题。从文中尤其是第五段可知，作者行为很低调但是一直在默默努力，想要成为比Brittany优秀的人。所以A、C都不对。文中虽然提到了作者有点自卑，这不是作者进步的动力，所以B也不对。4解析：选C细节理解题。从最后一段的第四句话可知，作者以前觉得Brittany对她只有坏的影响，但是现在她意识到，其实Brittany那时也只是个不能明辨是非的孩子。正是因为Brittany作者才会像现在这样谦逊。
