[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。在六年级时由于“我”成绩很差， 不得不留级，家人也对“我”失去了希望。但是，Sadia老师的到来改变 了“我”的一切，她给予了“我”特别的关心和很多帮助。随着“我”的 进步越来越大，Sadia老师开始慢慢疏远“我”了。原来，她希望“我” 成为一个独立坚强的人，而不是总依赖别人。

1. D 根据 I was said to be the worst student in my class 可知，“我”要在 六年级留级。jump跳;attend参加，出席;copy模仿，抄袭;repeat重 复，重复六年级，也就是留级。故选D项。

2. C根据此句的just—词可知，Sadia老师与“我”进行了一次正常的 谈话。stupid愚蠢的;useless没用的;normal正常的;secret秘密的。 根据句意选C项。

3. B Sadia老师对“我”的关心使“我”有一种被别人信任的感觉。故 选B项。

4. D由于“我”受到Sadia老师的信任，所以她所教的科目成绩也开 始提高了。word话语;object物体;class班级;grade分数，成绩，符合 题意，故选D项。

5. A 根据下文 We would walk home together after school.可知，Sadia 老 师住在“我”家附近。故选A项。

6. D “我”知道Sadia老师不仅检查她所教学科的成绩，还会检查 “我”其他科目的成绩。change改变;look看，看起来;improve提高， 改善;check检查，审查。根据句意选D项。

7. B在Sadia老师的督促下，我所有学科都有了进步，最后考了班级 第二。“come+序数词”意为“获得第……名”。故选B项。

8. A六年级后，Sadia老师开始慢慢疏远我，但仍继续关注“我”。此句的前后两部分是转折关系。故选A.

9. D根据上文可知，六年级后，Sadia老师慢慢减少与“我”的接触，进 入七年级后，我们很少交流。hardly几乎不，符合题意。故选D项。

10. C根据上文关于“我”学习进步的描述和此句中的but —词可推 测，“我”成为班级中成绩最好的学生。oldest年龄最大的;strongest 最强壮的;best最好的;cleverest最聪明的。根据句意选C项。

11. C根据句中的when I called her可知，老师不接“我”的电话。

answer the phone 接电话 。故选 C 项。

12. B我”心中一直不理解Sadia老师为什么从开始时对“我”如此关 心，变为故意疏远“我”，所以“我”迫不及待想要知道原因。

finish 完成;prevent 预防;keep 保持;help 帮助，can't help doing sth.忍不 住/情不自禁地做某事。故选B项。

13. A Sadia老师之所以这么做是想要“我”成为一个独立的人。

stand on one's own roots 自立。故选 A 项。

14. B老师为“我”的变化感到骄傲。sad伤心的;pimid骄傲的;good 好的;ashamed惭愧的，羞耻的。根据句意选B项。

15. C Sadia老师认为“我”应该独立思考，不需要再依赖别人了。

give up放弃;get on上车;look for寻找;take up从事，占据。故选C项。

[长难句] I was said to be the worst student in my class,and my family thought I was hopeless.大家都说我是班上最差的学生，我的家人也对我 失去了希望。Sb. be said to do sth.相当于 It is/was said that...。I was said to be the worst student in my class 可改写为 It was said that I was the worst student in my class。I was hopeless 为宾语从句，作 thought 的宾语。
