【题目】A Sweet Lesson

Many people have clear memories of their school years. What I remember most was meeting Christopher， who had diabetes(糖尿病）at the age of four.

Christopher came to my _______right after Christmas break. He wasn’t shy at all. He stood in front of the class and introduced himself with _______.

Weeks passed and I realized Christopher was exactly like me. We both were funny and liked sports! But Christopher always wore a metal bracelet, which made him quite different.

My classmates didn’t _______ it. They stayed away from Christopher.

The day before spring break, we had a class party. Mrs. Rose invited our parents too. All kinds of candies were passed out. I tasted every kind and got some for Christopher too， but he didn’t even _______them. “Why aren’t you eating， Christopher?” I asked. He answered seriously, “I can’t. ’’I kept giving candies to him then he got _______，“I told you I can’t Stop it! He then stormed out of the room and his mother followed.

I went home that night with a million questions. My mom told me Christopher had diabetes and that was why he couldn’t eat as much sugar as everyone else. She also _______he wore the bracelet because it had all his medical information in it， in case(万一) he was in serious danger. I felt so sorry for Christopher.

When we returned to school after spring break, I asked Mrs. Rose if I could tell the class Christopher’s medical condition. She agreed. I told them about his diabetes. I also suggested that every snack or sweet that we brought to class should be OK for Christopher.

Months went by and Christopher was _______than ever. He had even more friends and didn’t feel so left out during snack time because everyone was eating the same treat. I realized this was exactly what Christopher wanted——friends who could _______ him and love him for who he was.

【解析】

这篇短文讲述了作者上学时候的一段回忆，他有一个同学叫Christopher，从小患有糖尿病。一开始同学们都不知道，很多同学不喜欢他佩戴的金属手镯而疏远他，后来知道真相后，开始和他成为了朋友。

【1】句意：Christopher是在圣诞节假期之后来到了我们的学校。home 家；club 俱乐部；school学校；party聚会。根据上文Many people have clear memories of their school years.可知，作者要说的是他上学时候的记忆，接下来讲述的就是发生在他学校里面的事情，所以这里应该是来到了他们的学校，故选C。

【2】句意：他站在教室前面，自信地做自我介绍。pride 骄傲；confidence自信；thankfulness感激；care关心，在意。根据上句话He wasn’t shy at all.可知，Christopher一点都不害羞，所以他在做自我介绍时是非常自信的，故应选B。

【3】句意：我的同学们不喜欢那个金属手镯。believe 相信；value价值；notice注意；like喜欢。根据下句话They stayed away from Christopher同学们都远离Christopher可知，他们都不喜欢那个手镯，故应选D。

【4】句意：我品尝了各种的糖果，还给了Christopher一些，但是他甚至都不碰他们一下。touch 触摸；pass 通过；share分享；buy买。根据文意可知，Christopher有糖尿病，他不能吃糖果，所以这里应该不碰他们，故选A。

【5】句意：我不断地给他糖果，然后他变得疯狂了：“我告诉过你我不能吃，不要再给我了。” surprised吃惊的；excited兴奋的；mad疯狂的；afraid害怕的。根据后面Christopher说的话可知，Christopher不能吃糖，但是作者老是给他糖吃，所以他生气了，发疯了，故应选C。

【6】句意：她还解释Christopher戴着那个金属手镯，因为里面有他所有的医疗信息。guessed猜；doubted怀疑；proved证明；explained解释。根据句意可知，这里是作者的妈妈给他解释Christopher为什么老是戴着一个金属手镯，故应选D。

【7】句意：几个月过去了，Christopher比以前更开心了。braver 勇敢的；happier开心的；busier忙碌的；funnier可笑的。这四个选项都是形容词的比较级形式，根据下句话He had even more friends and didn’t feel so left out during snack time…可知，Christopher有了更多的朋友，也不会感到被冷落了，所以他更开心了，故应选B。

【8】句意：我意识到这正是Christopher想要的—能够爱他、接受他的朋友们。accept 接受；protect保护；trust相信，信任；miss想念，错过。根据文意可知，Christopher来到作者的学校之后，一开始同学们都不喜欢他的手镯，远离他，后来知道了他的事情后，同学们开始接受了他，这也正是Christopher想要的。因此这里应该选A。
