The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan

The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.

All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤兒) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

But how could I help her in with us? There had to be a .

One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) copy.

I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough . Could you help me, Suzy?”

On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.

“And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students them.”

I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw well?”

Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”

Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.

I , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never anything in her whole life.

Everyone started to their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to ne all right.

【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。本文講了一個(gè)非洲來(lái)的兒童Suzy被美國(guó)家庭收養(yǎng)，為讓孩子了解美國(guó)生活，他們把孩子送進(jìn)學(xué)校和美國(guó)孩子一起學(xué)習(xí)。但那些美國(guó)孩子卻經(jīng)常嘲笑她。一次偶然的機(jī)會(huì)，“我”發(fā)現(xiàn)了她的繪畫(huà)才能，并把她介紹給藝術(shù)老師。藝術(shù)老師也認(rèn)同她的繪畫(huà)才能，讓她幫自己制作才藝秀的海報(bào)。在才藝秀結(jié)束的時(shí)候，校長(zhǎng)頒發(fā)給Suzy一個(gè)特殊的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，同學(xué)們也認(rèn)可和接納了她。

1.A 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析及語(yǔ)境理解。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，這里是說(shuō)“班里的男孩子會(huì)拿她開(kāi)玩笑，然后就是哄堂大笑。而她也只好眼含淚水地假裝看書(shū)�！眏oke about 拿…開(kāi)玩笑，care about介意，在乎，forget about忘記，worry about為…擔(dān)憂。

2.B 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析及語(yǔ)境理解。這個(gè)非洲孤兒被美國(guó)家庭收養(yǎng)，美國(guó)家庭決定（認(rèn)定）和美國(guó)孩子在一起才能讓她學(xué)會(huì)美國(guó)生活方式。decide這里是認(rèn)定、斷定的意思，report報(bào)告、報(bào)道，complain抱怨，投訴，question質(zhì)疑，提問(wèn)。

3.C 考查形容詞詞義辨析。根據(jù)上文敘述，這個(gè)女孩比同齡12歲的孩子都要瘦小，所以“我低頭看著這個(gè)小小的女孩子，下決心無(wú)論如何都要幫助她”。rich富有的，proud驕傲的，popular流行的，受歡迎的。顯然都不符合語(yǔ)境。tiny =very small。

4.C 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析和上下文語(yǔ)境。我打算幫助這個(gè)女孩與大家融洽相處。文章標(biāo)題已給出提示。fit in with適合，與…一致。

5.D 考查名詞詞義辨析。根據(jù)上文決定幫助小女孩與大家一致，必須尋找一個(gè)辦法/方法。manner做事或行為方式, 多指行動(dòng)的特殊方式或獨(dú)特的方法，pattern指模式、花樣、圖案等，choice指選擇，way指方式、方法、手段等，可指一般的方法，有時(shí)也指?jìng)�(gè)人的方法或方式。因?yàn)檫@里沒(méi)有談到什么方法，所以只能用籠統(tǒng)的方法way。

6.C 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析和語(yǔ)境。Suzy把書(shū)打開(kāi)到火車圖片那里。open…to把…翻到，to是介詞，表達(dá)“到…地方”。其他均不合適。

7.B 考查形容詞詞義辨析和上下文語(yǔ)境。她對(duì)火車圖的復(fù)制，效果怎樣要看文中第44題后的陳述，“why, it’s wonderful”可知，非常好，與此題選項(xiàng)中的perfect相近。

8.D 考查名詞詞義辨析和上下文語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)后文第45題后的陳述“the talent show”我們知道這是一個(gè)才藝秀。

9.D 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析和語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)上文陳述，Suzy在畫(huà)火車，所以這里應(yīng)該是“我”把她畫(huà)的東西展示給藝術(shù)老師看。color意思為涂色和染色, write書(shū)寫(xiě)，carve雕刻，draw畫(huà)。

10.C 考查介詞。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，這里是老師拿出一張“為才藝秀”做的海報(bào)。for意為“為…”。

11.B 考查名詞詞義辨析和語(yǔ)境。由該空前面“more”和空后的”help”兩個(gè)詞可知，老師還需要更多的海報(bào)，但老師“沒(méi)有足夠的時(shí)間”，所以才請(qǐng)Suzy幫忙制作。

12.D 考查名詞詞義辨析和上下文語(yǔ)境。上文已談到，藝術(shù)老師想讓Suzy幫忙制作一些海報(bào)，所以，才藝秀當(dāng)天應(yīng)該到處都能看到Suzy制作的海報(bào)。

13.A 考查形容詞詞義辨析。才藝秀當(dāng)天大家都表演了，還要頒發(fā)一個(gè)特殊的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)給制作海報(bào)的人，因?yàn)橹谱骱?bào)原本不是才藝秀的內(nèi)容。

14.A 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析和上下文。文中這句話的意思說(shuō)“我們一個(gè)學(xué)生畫(huà)了這些海報(bào)”，除了draw以外，我們還可以使用paint一詞，表示繪畫(huà)。

15.B 考查副詞詞義。修飾形容詞或副詞，表示那么，那樣，我們一般用so，也可以用that，二者意思相近。that well=so well。

16.D 考查狀語(yǔ)從句的連接詞和上下文語(yǔ)境。“因?yàn)檫@位同學(xué)如此努力地畫(huà)了這些海報(bào)”，所以值得獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。since=now that/because。

17.A 考查名詞詞義辨析和語(yǔ)境。因?yàn)榕Ξ?huà)了這些海報(bào)，這位同學(xué)值得獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。prize獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)， rank等級(jí)，秩序，rest休息，place地點(diǎn)，位置。

18.B 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。該空描寫(xiě)作者的思想活動(dòng)，是意識(shí)到她從來(lái)沒(méi)有擁有過(guò)什么，這些成就和別人的承認(rèn)第一次讓她意識(shí)到自己的能力和重要。Reply回答，realize意識(shí)到，remember回憶，regret后悔，遺憾。

19.C 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。因?yàn)槭峭鈦?lái)的移民，沒(méi)有融入大家的生活中，這次活動(dòng)讓大家看到了她擁有的東西。

20.A 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。因?yàn)樗?huà)得好，得到校長(zhǎng)表?yè)P(yáng)，才能得到大家認(rèn)可，所以大家為她鼓掌。clap one’s hands鼓掌。

You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years,this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (貧窮)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising "changemakers" seeking to solve (解決) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.

Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact It is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city ,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there .

When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets,Attracting tats and disease , they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste . So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆糞)this waste . They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical ferntilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years . At first , they were refused ,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made , the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14,000.

Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious ,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.

Evaluating Sources (來(lái)源) of health Information

Making good choices about your own health requairs reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Resonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 1.

Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determin whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 2.

Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 3. Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.

Use your common sense. Ifa report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 4. Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖騙術(shù)).

5. Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.

Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.

A. Make choice that are right for you.

B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.

C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.

D. And examine the findings of the original research.

E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.

F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.

G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

The following are letters to the editor of a school newspaper

Dear editor,

I’d like to express my opinion about grades. Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. I understand that grades are useful, but grades often limit creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades force an arbitrary(武斷的) standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that grades be removed immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.

Magdalena Smith

Drama Club

Dear editor,

I’d like to say something about grades. Let’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades motivate students to work at their highest level of competence. Second, they act as a reward for hardworking students and as a punishment to students who do not work hard. Finally, grades are used as an effective standard by which to measure student achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university. I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired primarily on the basis of their grades. My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.

Simon Harper

Science Club

1.Which of the following is not Magdalena Smith’s opinion?

A. Students may give up the chance to learn music and sports for grades.

B. Students’ creativity may not be developed for grades.

C. Grades should not be used to measure a person’s success.

D. Grades should be taken away at once.

2.We can learn Simon Harper _____.

A. believes in the benefits of good grades

B. is concerned about students' creativity

C. doesn't work too hard at his studies

D. supports students' interests and abilities

3.From the second letter, we can infer that Simon Harper is a/an_____.

A. teacher B. headmaster C. student D. advertiser
