【解析】【1】根據(jù)后面but和another matter, 后面還說Aaron學(xué)習(xí)一塌糊涂，因此推知在高爾夫球方面應(yīng)該很優(yōu)秀，前后形成對(duì)比。

【2】根據(jù)后文中in courses like chemistry可知他的學(xué)習(xí)是另一回事。

【3】根據(jù)前文信息his grades were low, 可知他的一些功課成績(jī)很低，他幾乎要放棄。be close to接近，靠近。

【4】句意:Aaron并非胸?zé)o大志，而是在這樣大的、非個(gè)性化的管理髙中他沒有施展的空間。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，尤其是Aaron的前后判若兩人的變化可知。

【5】根據(jù)第一段和第二段的對(duì)比，尤其是第一段中l(wèi)arge, impersonal public high school 和第二段中 one-on-one attention.

【6】根據(jù)后文信息His one strong goal可知，除了個(gè)性化關(guān)注還有另外的事情吸引著他。A選項(xiàng)中缺乏介詞to。

【7】根據(jù)本段后文信息an architectural CAD program和第三段an architectural firm以及全文內(nèi)容可知。

【8】 attend school上學(xué)。A選項(xiàng)后面缺乏介詞for。

【9】句意:他第一次發(fā)現(xiàn)他對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)很感興趣。與前文形成對(duì)比。find后面跟復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)。

【10】 根據(jù) as a draftsman for an architectural firm 可知。

【11】 根據(jù)本段最后 professionally after he graduated this spring可知，他的目標(biāo)是畢業(yè)后專職從事這個(gè)行業(yè)。take up從事。

【12】根據(jù)第一段和第三段形成鮮明的對(duì)比，Aaron認(rèn)為是Danny Moon改變了他的命運(yùn)。

【13】 run控制，主持（團(tuán)體、組織）。例如：run a school辦一所學(xué)校。

【14】 until引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句，主句謂語(yǔ)是持續(xù)性動(dòng)詞時(shí)，肯定式表示該動(dòng)作的終止。此處until相當(dāng)于before。

【15】 pass a law 通過一部法律。前一段 the Albuquerque school district couldn't pay for any longer 可知政府不支持職業(yè)教育，此段講從立法上開始支持。后文and a district official wondered if…使答案更加明確。

【16】 根據(jù)介詞in可知此處為be interested ill。A、B、D三項(xiàng)后面的介詞為about或of。

【17】 根據(jù)前文信息 a district official wondered if Moon might. . . 一位政府官員詢問Moon是否感興趣。因此Danny Moon —下子就答應(yīng)了。

【18】largel把……作為目標(biāo)或者對(duì)象。

【19】根據(jù)students like Aaron和第一段內(nèi)容確定，因?yàn)锳aron在公立高中步履維艱。tough困難的，費(fèi)力的。

【20】句意:他也正好滿足整個(gè)新墨西哥州對(duì)熟練勞動(dòng)力急劇上升的需求。由此暗示Danny Moon所設(shè)立的這個(gè)職業(yè)的重要性。
