Answer 1

36．C　句意为：她除了受脑瘫之苦外，似乎没有什么不寻常的。except后接that从句，意为“除了”；前面的that作副词，相当于very。

37．A　从下面的她主动与别人打招呼可知，因她外表上的缺陷，许多人都不和她说话。

38．D　她的肌肉僵硬，导致了说话和走路困难，因此她看上去与众不同。

39．B　既然别人都不和她说话，她就主动打破僵局，先向别人打招呼。break the ice打破僵局；break the rule破坏规则。

40．D　句意为：我布置了只值10分的任务，因为我对现在的孩子不抱多大“期望”。

41．C　要检查任务的“那一天”到了。

42．D　从后句“Sorry，Mr Krause，” was the standard reply可知被叫到的每个学生都没有把诗背下来。fail to do sth.没有做成某事。

43．D　句意为：“最后”，我很失望，半开玩笑地宣布……；sadly与disappointment重复。

44．B　“下一个”背不出诗的人要做10个俯卧撑。

45．D　Tina是下一个，这出乎我的意料，即to my surprise。

46．A　既然使用助步架，她只能是挪(move)到前面。

47．A　从后面“she__48__her walker to the side，fell to the floor and started doing push­ups”可知，她没有完全背出，即make a mistake。

48．B　她把助步架扔到一边。用throw表现了Tina不屈服的个性。

49．C　Tina的举动当然让老师很“震惊”，他没有想到Tina会真的去做俯卧撑。

50．C　做完俯卧撑后Tina又“继续”去背那首诗。

51．C　那首诗的其余部分她背得相当好，由下句“one of only a few of student，who did，as it__52__”可知。

52．D　show up露面；add to增加；bring about带来；turn out(结果)证明。句意为：正如后来所证实的，她是几个背出来的学生中的一个。

53．A　句意为：我想像你们一样正常。be like像。

54．C　听了Tina的话，整个教室一片寂静。说明同学们深受感动。

55．A　从后句“we’re teenagers！We get in trouble all the time.”可知，那个学生想说明大家都和Tina一样，都会遇到麻烦。故选A项。其他几项都是描述人的品质。
