能力提升
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文讲述了作者因工作原因来到了美国,可是因为不会说英语,造成了一些不便,于是作者积极地寻找学校,认真学习英语,并取得进步的故事。
1.C　解析:句意:因为工作,十年前我来到了美国。walked“走”;ran“跑”;came“来”;returned“返回”。根据“Because of work”及后文作者学习英语可知,作者来到了美国。故选C。
2.B　解析:句意:我总是说我正试图努力学习,但总有一些事情,比如工作和孩子,不允许我开始学习。preferring“更喜欢”;trying“试图”;refusing“拒绝”;offering“提供”。根据下文“but there were always things like work and my kids that would not allow me to start”可知,作者试图努力学习,但是总有事情阻碍。故选B。
3.A　解析:句意:后来我才意识到那些只是借口。excuses“借口”;stories“故事”;problems“问题”;dreams“梦想”。根据下文“What was stopping me was that...”可知,作者认为工作、孩子之类的事情只是借口,并不是真正阻碍她学习的原因。故选A。
4.B　解析:句意:阻碍我的是,我害怕重新开始学习。excited“激动的”;afraid“害怕的”;hungry“饥饿的”;happy“高兴的”。根据上下文语境可知,作者其实是害怕重新开始学习。故选B。
5.C　解析:句意:我一直相信我会自学。himself“他自己”;herself“她自己”;myself“我自己”;itself“它自己”。该句主语为I,所以此处应用反身代词myself。故选C。
6.D　解析:句意:然而有一天,我的儿子告诉我,他感到很尴尬,因为他的朋友要来,我听不懂他们说什么,因为我不会说英语。help“帮助”;call“打电话”;welcome“欢迎”;understand“理解”。根据“because I didn’t speak English”可知,作者不会说英语,所以听不懂他们在说什么。故选D。
7.B　解析:句意:他说,他也很难过,因为我从来不能帮助他做作业。usually“通常”;never“从不”;often“经常”;always“总是”。根据上文中“I didn’t speak English”可知,作者不懂英语,所以从来没有帮助儿子完成作业。故选B。
8.A　解析:句意:就在那天,我告诉自己:“罗茜奥,你必须开始相信自己,你会发现你可以做到的。”believing“相信”;knowing“知道”;hurting“伤害”;helping“帮助”。根据“you will see you can make it”可知,作者决定要改变自己,开始学习英语,所以鼓励自己要自信。故选A。
9.C　解析:句意:下一个星期一,我去询问了信息。look“看”;care“关心”;ask“问”;reach“到达”。根据下文“They told me that summer school was starting that week.”可知,作者去询问了信息。故选C。
10.C　解析:句意:虽然很困难,但还是有回报的。different“不同的”;important“重要的”;difficult“困难的”;terrible“可怕的”。根据“but it pays off”可知,前后表示转折,即学习英语虽然艰难,但是值得。故选C。
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文讲述了作者的弟弟在换学校后发生了一些不好的变化,作者和他的家人希望能得到一些建议。
1.B　解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“George is 16 years old now,one year younger than me.”可知,马修现在十七岁。故选B。
2.C　解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“For his better education,we changed his school to a better one in this city.”可知,乔治的家人想让他接受更好的教育,所以给他换了学校。故选C。
3.D　解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Now George rejects the communications with us and enjoys being alone.”可知,现在乔治喜欢独处,所以他拒绝和家里人交流。由此可知rejects意为“拒绝”,与Refuse同义。故选D。
4.D　解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中“He has become very impolite to our pa-rents and me.”可知,换学校后,乔治对家人变得不礼貌了。故选D。
5.B　解析:写作目的题。根据最后一段中“My parents and I don’t understand if this is just a teenage problem or something else.Any advice is welcome.”可知,作者和家人因乔治的问题在寻求建议。故选B。
