Question

In 2002, when my father was transferred(調(diào)動)to the US to work there for seven months,

I had to attend school there, so I was upset. How would I, an eight-year-old girl from India, make

Friends in America?

On my first day at Anna Silver Public School, I Miss Alice McNally, my class teacher, who couldn’t get my name --- although she tried hard, she usually called me Diya or Diva instead of Divya. But she to speak to me in a way that was easy for me---slowly,   words clearly---to get me used to the American . When discovering that I enjoyed , she took me to meet the art teacher. Miss McNally made sure that I was in perfect harmony with her class, and I had as much as any schoolgirl could have from school.

When my father was transferred back to India, I had to Anna Silver Public School. I was going to leave before a scheduled fishing trip, and I’d the class photo session(集會) too. Therefore, with a heavy heart, I left my school and the US. Back in Kerala, I received a

Surprise one day---a package in which Miss McNally and my twenty-four former classmates had written me a letter each, me about the fishing trip and interesting things that happened while taking the class photo. Miss McNally added, “Keep up with your drawing, since you love it so much.” Miss McNally not only made a little girl feel at home in a faraway country, but also taught me and the others, at an early age, the importance of being kind to others.

【解析】

試題分析: 在本文中作者通過講述自己童年時代的一段經(jīng)歷，回憶了一位給自己帶來很大影響的老師。當(dāng)作者的父親因工作原因調(diào)到美國的時候，作者也隨父親一起來到了這個陌生的國度，是Miss McNally老師用心地照顧她，使她在小小的年紀(jì)就知道了對人友善的重要性。

1. A. recognized認(rèn)出，認(rèn)可；B. puzzled迷惑；C. met遇到；D. hurt傷害，疼。根據(jù)上文可知當(dāng)作者來到一個新的學(xué)校，所以是遇到了Miss Alice McNally，答案選C。

2. 形容詞辨析。A. right 正確的，右邊的；B. smart 聰明的； C. brief簡潔的； D. similar相似的。根據(jù)下文she usually called me Diya or Diva instead of Divya.可知老師叫不對作者的名字，get sth right“徹底搞清楚”，故選A。

3. A. took over接管；B. took care 照顧，小心；C. took back拿回；D. took control控制。根據(jù)空后面內(nèi)容可知老師為了讓她能聽清楚，說話速度很慢，由此判斷老師對作者很關(guān)照，take care to do sth 意思是“格外用心地做某事”，故答案選B。

4. A. spelling拼寫； B. shouting喊；C. saying說；D. writing寫。由空前內(nèi)容speak to me可以判斷此處指老師和作者說話，答案選C。

5. A. ceremony儀式； B. custom習(xí)俗； C. education教育； D. accent口音。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知作者從印度來到美國，雖然印度也是說英語國家，但是發(fā)音不同，所以老師用緩慢的語速和她說話，目的是為了讓作者習(xí)慣美國的口音，答案選D。

6. 名詞辨析。A. drawing畫畫；B. music音樂；C. advertising廣告；D. sports運(yùn)動。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容Keep up with your drawing,可知作者是喜歡畫畫，答案選A。

7.A. fun樂趣； B. luck 幸運(yùn)； C. patience 耐心；D. pride驕傲。根據(jù)語境判斷喜歡畫畫的作者被老師介紹到美術(shù)班，所以她從中獲得了很多的樂趣，選A。

8. A. disturb 擾亂；B. leave 離開； C. choose選擇； D. begin開始。根據(jù)前句內(nèi)容可知父親要調(diào)回印度了，所以作者也不得不離開美國，選B.

9. A. support支持； B. enjoy欣賞；C. plan 計劃；D. miss想念，錯過。根據(jù)前句I was going to leave before a scheduled fishing trip,可知作者沒能參加計劃好的釣魚活動，再由后面的too判斷，她也沒能參加攝影集會，故答案選D。

10. A. lasting持久的； B. mild 溫和的；C. hopeful有希望的；D. pleasant愉快的。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知作者收到了老師和同學(xué)們郵寄來的照片和信，這對失落的作者是一個很大的驚喜，選D。

11.A. advising建議；B. teaching教；C. telling告訴； D. asking問。根據(jù)語境可知此處是講同學(xué)們在信中告訴作者的內(nèi)容，故答案選C。

12. A. sweet 甜的；B. shy 害羞的； C. brave勇敢的； D.beautiful漂亮的。從上文第一段內(nèi)容I was upset. How would I, an eight-year-old girl from India, make Friends in America?可知8歲的作者在到美國這個陌生的地方時感到局促不安，是老師讓她融入到了同學(xué)們中，故答案選B。
