【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者小时候因佩戴助听器以及说话方式与其他人不同而常常遭到同学们的嘲笑，因此一直处于自卑之中。作者上五年级时，一位老师的简单赞扬改变了作者的世界。
1．答案与解析：B 由下文老师三个字的肯定让作者的生活发生了巨大的变化可知，一些我们认为很“小的”举动能影响到他人的人生。
2．答案与解析：A 由第四段中的all of that和最后一段中提到的作者此后的巨大变化可知，这里是说可以“完全”改变别人的人生。completely“完全地”；suddenly“突然地”；quickly“迅速地”；simply“简单地”。
3．答案与解析：B 由第四题后的my hearing aid可知，作者是学校里唯一一个“失聪的”孩子。
4．答案与解析：D 由第三段第一句中的When the other kids laughed at me可知，学校里的其他孩子“取笑”作者。
5．答案与解析：C 由下一段作者觉得自己不如其他孩子聪明可知，他在学习中也遇到了“困难”。
6．答案与解析：D 由下一句中的I saw myself as a boy who wasn't smart enough可知，作者认为自己“很笨”。
7．答案与解析：C 由下文可知，在作者答对了问题后，乔丹夫人表扬了作者，正是这只有三个词的表扬“改变”了作者的世界。
8．答案与解析：B 乔丹夫人是在教室上课，所以此处指她问了“全班”一个问题。
9．答案与解析：D 由接下来作者描写的自己当时的心理活动及下文的my fears可知，当乔丹夫人叫作者回答的时候，作者感到害怕，故选afraid。
10．答案与解析：C 作者想以自己的行动向乔丹夫人“表明”一点：他值得她喜爱。
11．答案与解析：B 由下文作者对乔丹夫人所做动作的描述可知，此处指作者永远也不会忘记接下来所“发生”的事情。
12．答案与解析：A 由该空前的with sparkling eyes and a wide smile可知，乔丹夫人极力想表达一种兴奋的心情，所以她应是“大声说出”这三个词，以使全班的学生都能听到，故选A。
13．答案与解析：D 因为当时是在上课，所以作者回答完问题后，应是“坐在”座位上，故选D。
14．答案与解析：C 从那之后，作者的成绩和语言表达能力都大大地“提高”了。benefit“受益”；miss“想念；漏掉；错过”；improve“提高”；recover“恢复”。

1．答案与解析：D 他在一个洞穴里“发现”了一个帆布袋子。
2．答案与解析：C 句中bake的意思是“烤，烘”，联系该词可知应该是放在“阳光”下面。light“光线”；shade“阴影”；sand“沙子”，都不符合逻辑。
3．答案与解析：A 它们看上去没有什么特别，但是却“引起了这个人的兴趣”，interest的意思和语境相符。很明显，文章中并不是“打扰”“使失望”或“使满意”之意，故选A。
4．答案与解析：D 前面提到他往海里扔泥球，由此可知，他是尽可能地扔很“远”。其余选项与文意不符。

6．答案与解析：C 联系上一段中的he dropped one of the clay balls and it cracked open on a rock可知，泥球里“含有”宝石。本题易误选A。cover“覆盖”，但由语境可知，这里不表示“覆盖”之意。

8．答案与解析：A It strikes sb.that...意为“某人猛地意识到……”他猛然意识到他扔掉了许多个泥球。很明显，语境中不是“改变”“提醒”或“借用”之意。

1．答案与解析：C 因为作者是一位经常出差的销售人员，综合选项可知，感到“孤独”是这一行业的职业病，故C项正确。
2．答案与解析：B 由下文可知，此处指的是作者的“女儿”。
3．答案与解析：A 女儿送“我”的是一个大约5英寸高的毛绒企鹅。由空后的about five inches tall可知，此处说的是毛绒企鹅“高度为”约5英寸。
4．答案与解析：D “我”立刻将企鹅“摆放”在桌子上。place“摆放”符合文意。由下文可知作者对毛绒企鹅非常爱惜，不可能将其“扔”在桌子上，故A项不正确；B、C项不符合逻辑。
5．答案与解析：B 在“我”下次出差的时候，“我”将企鹅放在了手提箱内。此处承接上文，讲的仍是毛绒企鹅。

10．答案与解析：D 从下文可知，“我”的毛绒企鹅“不见了”。
11．答案与解析：B 打了一通电话后“我”才得知“我”把企鹅落在先前的旅馆了。leave sth. in...表示“将某物遗忘在某处”。
12．答案与解析：D “我”驱车行驶了一百英里去取它。路程比较长，可推知作者是“开车”去的。
13．答案与解析：A 看到“我”和“我”的企鹅“团聚”，其他的商务旅客都很“惊奇”。综合选项可知，A项最符合文意。
14．答案与解析：B 看到“我”和企鹅“团聚”其他的商务旅客不但有点惊奇，“我”想还有一点点的“嫉妒”。B项最符合逻辑。
