這篇短文講述的是作者上初中的時候，個子非常高，他經(jīng)常和其他學(xué)生們一起捉弄其他的孩子。作者的父母教育他要像你希望別人如何對待你一樣對待別人，做一個領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，給人們一個好的理由去仰望你。

【1】句意：在那些年里，我長得比我的大多數(shù)同齡人都更高。stronger更強(qiáng)壯的；taller更高的；wiser更聰明的；braver更勇敢的。根據(jù)下文Being so tall made me feel uncomfortable.可知，作者比其他同齡人個子都高。故應(yīng)選B。

【2】句意：為了讓別人不注意我不尋常的身高，我和那些在學(xué)校捉弄其他孩子的人在一起。hair頭發(fā)；eyesight視力；weight體重；height高度，身高。根據(jù)上文Being so tall made me feel uncomfortable.可知，這里作者強(qiáng)調(diào)的是他的身高，故應(yīng)選D。

【3】句意：它確保這些玩笑是針對別人的，而不是針對我。punished 懲罰；directed指導(dǎo)，管理；worked工作；shouted大喊。這里考查短語be directed at…針對，對準(zhǔn)。根據(jù)文意可知，作者和其他學(xué)生們?nèi)プ脚�其他孩子，這樣人們就不會針對他了。故應(yīng)選B。

【4】句意：有一次在籃球課之前，我和我的朋友們對籃球隊的一個孩子進(jìn)行了一次傷害性的惡作劇，這讓他非常尷尬。joke玩笑，笑話；role角色，作用；trick把戲，惡作��；part部分。根據(jù)上文I went along with the people who would play tricks on other kids at school.可知，這里考查短語play tricks on…捉弄，搞惡作劇，故應(yīng)選C。

【5】句意：他們提醒我這個“黃金規(guī)則”，即像我希望別人對待我一樣對待別人。praise表揚；admire欽佩，欣賞；treat對待，治療；hate討厭，恨。根據(jù)句中as I would like to be treated可知，這里表示“像我希望別人如何對待我一樣對待別人”，故應(yīng)選C。

【6】句意：我所做的傷害了其他孩子，反過來也傷害了我自己。himself他自己；myself我自己；themselves他們自己；yourself你自己。根據(jù)下句話My friends were looking up to me ___7___ I was tall, but what did they see?可知，我傷害別人的行為反過來也對自己不好，所以這里是針對“我”來說的，故應(yīng)選B。

【7】句意：因為我很高，我的同學(xué)們都仰望我。because因為；though盡管，雖然；when當(dāng)…時候；if如果，是否。根據(jù)句意可知，空后表示同學(xué)們looking up to me的原因，故應(yīng)選A，引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句。

【8】句意：我的父母希望我成為一個能為別人樹立榜樣的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。friend朋友；decision決定；example例子；help幫助。這里考查短語set a good example to …給…樹立一個榜樣，結(jié)合文意可知，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者就是要為別人樹立榜樣。故應(yīng)選C。

【9】句意：我必須全身心的投入，不管我是否會成為父母所認(rèn)為的那種領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，但我內(nèi)心知道他們是對的。promised承諾，答應(yīng)；imagined想象；forgot忘記；believed認(rèn)為，相信。根據(jù)上文My parents wanted me to be a leader who set a good ___8___ to others可知，成為一個領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者是父母對“我”的期望，故這里表示“父母所認(rèn)為的…”，選D。

【10】句意：成為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，而不是追隨者。follower追隨者；learner學(xué)習(xí)者；organizer組織者；inventor發(fā)明者。根據(jù)句意Be a leader要做領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，所以與之相對的就是“不要做追隨者”，故選A。

這篇短文講述了作者初中時的一段經(jīng)歷，作者經(jīng)常仗著自己身高的優(yōu)勢去捉弄別人，后來父母教育他要成為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，為別人樹立榜樣。短文是記敘文，敘述清晰，內(nèi)容貼近學(xué)生們的日常生活，比較容易理解。題型是完形填空，考查學(xué)生們在具體語境中運用語言的能力，綜合性較強(qiáng)。做題時，應(yīng)先通讀短文，了解大意；然后根據(jù)上下文語境做題，注意空前后的固定搭配，并仔細(xì)辨析選項中單詞的意思和用法；最后將答案代入原文，再讀一遍，檢查答案是否正確。例如第1小題，考查形容詞辨析，stronger更強(qiáng)壯的；taller更高的；wiser更聰明的；braver更勇敢的。根據(jù)下文Being so tall made me feel uncomfortable.可知，作者比其他同齡人個子都高。故應(yīng)選B。再如第9小題，考查動詞辨析，promised承諾，答應(yīng)；imagined想象；forgot忘記；believed認(rèn)為，相信。根據(jù)上文My parents wanted me to be a leader who set a good ___8___ to others可知，成為一個領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者是父母對“我”的期望，故這里表示“父母所認(rèn)為的…”，選D。
