【解析】

试题分析:Steve是个学习落后的学生,每次考试都不及格,他天天沉浸在自己的想象里。直到一天漂亮的女老师Miss White 对他表现的关注,彻底使他改变了。故事给我们的启示是:人人都需要关注,一句善意的话,一个鼓励的眼神甚至都会改变一个人。

1.B介词短语辨析。A. 为了纪念;B.尽管;  C.除…之外; D.万一。根据上文Surprisingly, he could read, yet,可以推断他的阅读能力很差,由此可知B为正确选项。意思:然而令人奇怪的是,尽管他的阅读能力差,他还是能阅读。

2.C介词辨析。A.到 ;B.在…前 ;C.到…才;D.在…上。上文讲他一直不被人注意,而下文内容则是讲述他被Miss White的关注,所以此处应该用until,句意:他一直不被人注意直到怀特小姐的出现。

3.B形容词辨析。A .富裕的;B.年轻的;C.新鲜的;D.简单的。根据上文Steve, a twelve¬-year¬-old boy可以判断B选项正确。句意:在他年幼的生命中第一次他的眼睛从老师身上移不开了。

4.A副词辨析。A.仍然 ;B.甚至; C.也 ;D.永远。根据上文Steve had been failing since the first grade可知这次是和以前一样不及格,所以用“仍然”,答案选A。

5.D动词辨析。A. 观察;B.改错; C.选择 ;D.测试。由下文Steve hurried through his tests,可知这是一次考试,测验孩子们的基本技能,所以D选项正确。

6.C动词辨析。A. 斗争;  B.同意 ; C.继续; D.宣告。根据语境判断此处用continue,表示Steve一天中持续的恍惚状态。答案选C。

7.B形容词辨析。A. 高兴的;B.不耐烦的;C.热心的 ;D.害羞的。考试时候学生走神,老师会提醒,根据当时情形和老师说的话“Pay attention!”判断,最佳选项为B。

8.C动词辨析。A. 决定;B.经营; C.转身; D.忘记。从情理可知听到喊他的名字,Steve应该是转身去看老师,所以C选项正确。

9.A动词短语辨析。A.仔细检查,查阅;B.压过;C.翻转;D.移交。老师下文说的是考试结果,所以此时老师唤回Steve的注意后开始去翻阅考试成绩,故A选项正确。

10.A介词短语辨析。A.除。。外;B.因为,由于;C.关于;至于;D.多达。从老师说的话You all did pretty well和下文The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!判断可知除了一个学生外其余所有的学生都通过了考试,所以A选项正确。

11.C名词辨析。A.愿望;B.记录; C.心脏; D.背部。从语境可知老师因为一个学生没及格而表示难过心痛,所以判断C选项正确。

12.B名词辨析。A.疼痛;  B.凝视 ;C.感觉; D.对照。从情理判断当老师说这话的时候目光应该是盯着Steve的,故B项正确。句意:老师犹豫着说道,尖锐的目光能够把Steve钉到座位上。

13.A情态动词辨析。A.不(表意愿或将来);B.不能;C.一定不要;D.不应该。根据上下文推测Steve是不愿意做作业,所以A选项正确。

14.D形容词辨析。A.困窘的 ;B.沮丧的 ;C.批准的; D.深思的,沉思的。根据下文Steve的转变可知在他知道了老师关心,在意他之后,他的内心和态度发生了转变, D选项正确。

15.D名词辨析。A. 调查 ; B演讲; C.报告; D.测试。根据下文出现的__49__ his first test!可以判断老师进行了测试,所以D选项正确。

16.B动词短语辨析。A. 放弃; B.上交 ; C.关小; D.穿过。根据下文Miss White took his paper.可知Steve第一个交了试卷,所以B选项正确。

17.C名词辨析。A. 尊敬;B.好奇; C惊讶;D.恐惧。由故事内容可知Steve从来都是考试不及格,这次第一个交了试卷,老师对此应该感觉惊讶,所以C为正确选项。

18.B名词辨析。A. 胜利; B.震动,震惊; C.悲伤;D.信心。根据故事的叙述可知Steve从来考试不及格,这次他不仅第一个交上试卷,而且根据下文可知Steve考试及格了,由此可以推断当时老师是感到震惊,所以B选项正确。

19.D动词辨析。A. 逃跑; B.带走 ; C.错过 ;D.通过。通过老师满意的表情her face broke into a bright smile.可以推断Steve考试及格了,通过了考试。所以D选项正确。

20.A不定代词辨析。A. 没有什么 B.某事  C.任何事 D.每件事。从文章内容可知当Steve知道老师在意他的时候,他充满了喜悦,而且考试也及格了,由此推断从那以后Steve彻底变了,不像以前了,所以A选项正确。

    Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents, was about to be lost forever, by the U.S. education system. He had been failing since first grade. Steve was a big boy, looking more like a teenager than a twelve year old, yet, Steve went unnoticed... until Miss White.

    Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead, and Steve was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. He never did his homework, and he was always in trouble with Miss White. His heart would break he was punished for failing to turn in his homework! Still, he did not study.

    In the middle of the first term of school, the entire seventh grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to dream of other things.  His heart was in the woods, where he often escaped alone, trying to shut out the sights, sounds and smells of his alcoholic home. 

One day, Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his daydreams.

    “Steve!” he turned to look at her.

         “Pay attention!”

         Steve locked his eyes on Miss White with adolescent adoration, as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.

         “You all did pretty well,” she told the class, “except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but...” She hesitated.

         “...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”

         She just stared at Steve, as the class turned around for a good look. Steve dropped his eyes and carefully examined his fingertips.

         After that, it was war!! Steve still wouldn’t do his homework even as the punishments became more severe.

         “Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved.

         You’re smart enough! You’ll see a change!” Nothing happened.

         “Give yourself a chance! Don’ give up on your life!” Nothing.

         “Steve! Please! I care about you!”

         Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it!! Someone cared about him? Someone, totally perfect, CARED ABOUT HIM!

         Steve went home from school, thoughtful, that afternoon.  He, quickly, gathered up his camping things, this time including his schoolbooks. Determined, he headed for the woods.

The following Monday he arrived at school on time, and he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom. She walked in, all sparkle and smiles! God, she was beautiful! He expected her smile to turn on him. It did not.

         Miss White, immediately, gave a quiz on the weekend homework. Steve hurried through the test, and was the first to hand in his paper. With a look of surprise, Miss White took his paper. Obviously puzzled, she began to look it over. Steve walked back to his desk, his heart beating within his chest. As he sat down, he couldn’t resist another look at the lovely woman.

         Miss White’s face was in total shock! She glanced up at Steve, then down, then up. Suddenly, her face broke into a bright smile. The smartest boy in the seventh grade had just passed his first test!

From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it! And he continued this course throughout his school life.

         After high-school Steve entered the Navy, and he had a successful military career.  During his Naval career, he inspired many young people, who without him, might not have believed in themselves.

         You see, it’s simple, really. A change took place within the heart of one boy, all because of one teacher, who cared.                          

1. How did Miss White’s expression change when she got Steve’s paper?   

         A. satisfied —shocked —surprised —puzzled            B. puzzled —surprised —shocked —satisfied

         C. surprised —puzzled —shocked —satisfied                  D. surprised —shocked —satisfied —puzzled

2. Which of the following statements is NOT right according to the passage? 

A. Steve fell in love with Miss White at the first sight of her.

B. Steve’s parents were so addicted to drinking that they paid little attention to Steve’s life.

C. Steve would rather stay in the woods to keep himself away from his home.

D. Having being punished many times, Steve determined to work hard and passed his first test.

3. Which of the following can serve as the best title for this passage?

         A. The difference a teacher can make                               B. The school life of a stubborn boy

         C. The importance of family education                               D. The skills of being a good teacher
