    "The other students were   44  it, but I wasn't."

     One afternoon, the instructor asked Atsuko to   45   the ball to her teammates so they could knock it 46  the net- NO problem for most people, but it terrified Atsuko. She was afraid of losing face 47 she failed.

Answer 1

解析：

36．C．依據(jù)文章可以判斷出她對美國感興趣而且一直是夢想著去那里。

37．B．從后文中：watching TV…off to the cinema with…這一句話看出她從書本中了解到的是美國人的生活。

38．C．依據(jù)后面的“…in mind”可以判斷C符合.

39．A．依據(jù)習慣搭配和美國的生活習慣。

40．B.依據(jù)四個動詞各自的意思并結(jié)合后文中“when she arrived…she found…”可以看出是早就“安排好了”不僅僅停留在計劃或者憧憬中。

41．B．依據(jù)上文可知她以前沒有來過美國，所以只能I have a picture in mind，因此對美國只有一種“想象”。

42．A．從后文：I felt very alone可以看出沒有人與她交流，他們都很緊張。

43．C．依據(jù)后文：the other students were ____it和she made it through the class這兩處得到正確答案。

44．B．從后句but I wasn’t以及Come on, you can do that說明the others were good at it.

45．D．依據(jù)常識可知排球是hit。

46．C．磁體同上題一樣需要一些生活常識，只要了解排球的游戲規(guī)則，便知“過網(wǎng)”。

47．B．從上文but I wasn’t和but it terrified Atsuko可看出Atsuko根本就沒有擊球，只是她心中的一種假設，她擔心失敗。

48．D．從上文提到Atsuko 有一種“害怕，猶豫”的情緒。對于這種內(nèi)在的心理只能靠心里去感知。

49．D．此題與上一題有很大關系，因為the young man覺察到了Atsuko的害怕和猶豫，但既要鼓勵又不能傷害她的自尊，這種情況下只能whisper才合情合理。

50．B．依據(jù)以上兩題的分析可以看出是對她的“鼓勵”。

51．D．本題,一可以依據(jù)前句的perhaps一詞推斷，二可以從Atsuko當時從害怕到猶豫到接受鼓勵，最后made it through的驚喜，這一連串復雜情感變化，不難看出Atsuko自己心中的一種難以表達的，說不清楚的迷惑。

52.A.依據(jù)下文的when things are not going so well, I think of them。

53．D．從上下文中得知the young man的話對她當時克服困難有意義，更對她以后的人生有重要的意義。

54．B．依據(jù)文章：一個人言語對其他人的影響會保持很久。

55．C．從上下文可以看出You can do that這句話是很樸素但很感人的。
