With my help, Jeff and our ideas were well received at school.

(2020·南通市崇川区·期末) Another person's enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father me to her with these words: "I would like you to meet the fellow who is for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no than tomorrow morning."
My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, "You are . This is not the worst boy at all. the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet (释放的途径) for his enthusiasm." That statement began a(n) friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She advised my father to go to a dental (牙科) school from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father's career could be more and my brother and I could be better .
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm and I it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life's work later. I wasn't the beneficiary (受益者). My father became the man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
What power has! When that power is there to support the certainty of one's purpose and is strengthened by faith (信念), it becomes an irresistible (不可抗拒的) force which poverty and temporary failure can never match.
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it. This is surely the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

(2) A 项,be known for“因……而著名”;B 项,be liked for“以……被喜欢”;C 项,be mistaken for“被错认为……”;D 项,be rewarded for“因……被奖励”。由文意可知,“我”在县上以最坏的男孩子著称(known)。其他项均不符合题意。故正确答案为 A。
(3) no later than 意为“不迟于”。由句意可知,父亲为了形容“我”是个坏男孩,说最晚不迟于(no later than)明天早上“我”就会朝继母扔石头。no sooner than 意为“一……就……,不早于”,no longer than 意为“不在”,no earlier than 意为“不早于”,均不符合题意。故正确答案为 B。
(4) 由文意可知,继母否定了父亲的说法,说“我”并不是最坏的孩子,而是最聪明的孩子。所以父亲的观点在继母眼中是错误的(wrong)。perfect 意为“完美的”,right 意为“正确的;右边的”,impolite 意为“不礼貌的”,均不符合文意,故正确答案为 C。
(5) 继母说,“我”不是最坏的孩子,而是(but)最聪明的孩子。此处 not…but… 为固定搭配,意为“不是……而是……”,因此选用 but。其他项均不符合题意。故正确答案为 A。
(6) 本句大意为,在“我”的意识(mind)中,家人和邻里都把“我”看成一个坏孩子。opinion 意为“观点”,imagination 意为“想象”,expectation 意为“期望”,均不符合题意。故正确答案为 D。
(7) 由句意可知,在那里父亲的事业变得更成功(successful)。meaningful 意为“有意义的”,helpful 意为“有帮助的”,useful 意为“有用的”,均不符合题意。故正确答案为 A。
(8) 由上文中的 the worst boy 可知,“我”当时因未受到良好的教育而变成了一个“坏孩子”,因此继母认为“我”的兄弟和“我”在那里可以更好地受教育(educate)。treat 意为“对待”,entertain 意为“使娱乐”,respect 意为“尊重”,均不符合题意。故正确答案为 C。
(9) 由下文 told me that she believed that I could become a writer 可知继母希望“我”能够成为一个作家,四个选项中只有 typewriter(打字机)与写作有关。camera 意为“照相机”,radio 意为“收音机”,bicycle 意为“自行车”,均不符合文意,故正确答案为 D。
(10) 由下文中的 improve our lives 可知,“我”非常感激(thanked)继母做出的努力给家里带来的改变。thought 意为“认为”,doubted 意为“怀疑”,understood 意为“理解”,均不符合题意。故正确答案为 D。
(11) 上文提到继母希望“我”是一名作家,因此后来的“我”从事了写作(writing)的工作。teaching 意为“教学”,studying 意为“学习;研究”,reading 意为“阅读;读物”,均不符合文意,故正确答案为 B。
(12) 由下文可知,父亲和哥哥弟弟也因此而受益,故“我”不是唯一的(only)受益者。next 意为“下一个的;其次的”,same 意为“相同的;同一的”,real 意为“真的;真实的”,均不符合文意,故正确答案为 C。
(13) 上文提及父亲的事业变得更加成功,所以父亲应该是成为了最富有的(wealthy)人,而不是最聪明的(clever)、强壮的(strong)或健康的(healthy)。故正确答案为 B。
(14) 根据全文文意可知,本文主要讲的是热情(enthusiasm)的力量。kindness 意为“友好”,luck 意为“幸运”,confidence 意为“信心”,在文中均未提及。故正确答案为 A。
(15) 根据上下文,都提到只要热情一直在那儿,信念就一直会被增强。故选 D。
