三、阅读理解
Beverly Cleary has sold 85 million copies of 41 books and—if those numbers weren't impressive enough—she turned 100 on Tuesday. Though the world was a very different place when Cleary was a child, she has always maintained that kids pretty much stay the same—which explains the ongoing popularity of her beloved characters, like Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins and Ralph S. Mouse.
Cleary was in her early 30s and working a part-time job in a bookstore when she sat down at a typewriter to see if just maybe she could write a book for kids. She had worked as a librarian before World War II, and she wished she'd had books for young readers about children's living everyday lives.
"I think children want to read about normal, everyday kids," she told NPR in 1999. "That's what I wanted to read about when I was growing up. I wanted to read about the sort of boys and girls that I knew in my neighborhood and in my school. I think children like to find themselves in books."
Her first book, Henry Huggins, came out in 1950. Henry had a friend named Beezus, and Beezus had a mischievous (爱恶作剧的) but lovable little sister named Ramona. Over the next five decades, Cleary took Ramona all the way from the nursery school (幼儿园) to the fourth grade. Cleary says when she was writing Ramona, she took inspiration from a little girl who lived in the house behind hers as a child.
Her books have hooked generations of children, including a young Jeff Kinney, who grew up to become the author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
"I must have been about 8 or 9 years old when I first read Beverly Cleary's works," Kinney recalls. "The book that really grabbed me was Ramona Quimby, Age 8. She looked feral. I needed to get to know this character."
"Most kids have parents, teachers, bullies(恃强凌弱者)—we all experience these things," Kinney says. "And Beverly Cleary tapped into those. Her works are still as relevant today as when they first came out."
Now, generations of children have been fortunate enough to enjoy her stories of Klickitat Street.

四、答案:①wisely ②about ③that ④misunderstood ⑤Faced ⑥a ⑦trying ⑧which ⑨determination ⑩As/So
解析:①考查副词。根据and前面的correctly可知,此处是副词作状语,修饰can get rid of。
②考查固定搭配。be upset about意为"对……感到不安"。
③考查强调句型。句意:重要的是人的内在美。强调句型的基本结构是"It is+被强调部分+that +其他部分",本句强调主语one's inner beauty,所以要填that。
④考查被动语态。句意:第二,我们有时候似乎被我们的老师、父母和同班同学误解。分析语境可知,设空处表示"误解",应用misunderstand。本句主语we与动词misunderstand构成被动关系,要用过去分词与前面的be构成被动语态。所以要填misunderstood。
⑤考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处用非谓语动词作状语。be faced with..."面对……"。所以要填Faced。
⑥考查冠词。句意:面对这个,我们能够找到合适的时间和他们有一次坦诚亲切的交流,努力消除误解。a proper time一个合适的时间。所以要填a。
⑦考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处用非谓语动词作状语。本句主语we与动词try构成主动关系,要用现在分词在句中作状语。所以要填trying。
⑧考查定语从句。关系代词which指代前面的主句,引导非限制性定语从句并在从句中作主语。
⑨考查名词。介词of后面通常接名词或代词作宾语,句中要用determine的名词形式作宾语,所以要填determination。
⑩考查状语从句。句意:只要我们做了一些,那就足够了。so/as long as意为"只要",引导条件状语从句。所以要填As/So。
