It was then that I learned something that I might never have grasped in any other way. I’d been always focusing on myself: What should I do? How should I act? What would I say to Lucy?

I didn’t even know what to say to my best friend. I hid out in the choir room between classes 5 avoiding Lucy, but she was never out of my thoughts. I kept trying to come up with something 6 to say to her because I really wanted to get it right. Lucy and I had last-period English in Mrs. Green’s room.

I prayed for 13 and forced myself to move forward, 14 outstretched. “Oh. Kristin!” Lucy cried. “I was hoping it was you.” We hugged then. It was then that I learned something that I might never have grasped in any other way. I’d been always focusing on myself: What should I do? How should I act? What would I say to Lucy? But when we finally came face to face, I forgot myself and centered on Lucy and her needs. Only when I did that was I able to share Lucy’s grief and let her know that she was 15 and that I really cared. 1．A．but B．and C．so D．if 2．A．abruptly B．apparently C．surely D．scarcely 3．A．agreed B．insisted C．hesitated D．swore 4．A．efforts B．sense C．excuses D．mistakes 5．A．in the wake of B．in hopes of C．in pursuit of D．in light of 6．A．personal B．discouraging C．unusual D．appropriate 7．A．plan B．explanation C．goal D．clue 8．A．rocked B．calmed C．sprang D．trembled 9．A．realized B．spotted C．greeted D．expected 10．A．in case B．as long as C．even though D．as though 11．A．again B．suddenly C．expectedly D．surprisingly 12．A．tell B．react C．scream D．speak 13．A．determination B．strength C．courage D．fortune 14．A．palms B．legs C．shoulders D．arms 15．A．special B．outstanding C．good D．sad 【答案】 1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．B 6．D 7．A 8．D 9．B 10．C 11．A 12．D 13．B 14．D 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者得知好朋友Lucy的母亲病得很重，虽然非常担心，但是因为不知道如何面对这种情形，于是一直躲着Lucy，最终在学校中和Lucy碰面时，作者忘记了自己的纠结，把注意力集中在Lucy和她的需要上，给了她安慰。 1．考查连词词义辨析。句意：直到后来我才知道Hastings夫人患的是哪种癌症，但我知道她的病情非常严重。A. but但是；B. and和；C. so所以；D. if如果。前句表明作者当时尚且不知道Hastings夫人患的是哪种癌症，后句表明作者知道她的病情非常严重，前后构成转折，因此应用but连接。故选A。 2．考查副词词义辨析。句意：无疑我也不想见到Lucy。A. abruptly突然地；B. apparently显然地；C. surely无疑；D. scarcely几乎不。根据上文“But I didn’t want to go to school that day.”可知，作者不想去上学，不知道如何应对这种情况，因此无疑也不想见到Lucy。故选C。 3．考查动词词义辨析。句意：但是妈妈坚持。A. agreed同意；B. insisted坚持；C. hesitated犹豫；D. swore发誓。根据下文“You have a history test this morning, Kristin”和“Be sure to stay close to Lucy, especially today, because that poor girl is going to need your strength.”可知，作者的妈妈在劝作者去上学，因为学校有测试，而且Lucy此时很需要作者的安慰和支持，因此妈妈坚持让作者去上学。故选B。 4．考查名词词义辨析。句意：“Kristin，你今天早上有个历史测验，”她看着我说，好像她已经爬进了我的脑海，知道我只是在找借口。A. efforts努力；B. sense感觉；C. excuses借口；D. mistakes错误。根据上文“I tried every trick I knew to get out of going to school.”可知，为了不去上学，作者想尽了一切花招，此处表示妈妈知道这些都是作者的借口。故选C。 5．考查介词短语辨析。句意：课间我躲在唱诗班的教室里，希望能避开Lucy，但她一直萦绕在我的脑海里。A. in the wake of随着……发生；B. in hopes of希望；C. in pursuit of追求；D. in light of鉴于。根据上文“I hid out in the choir room between classes”可知，课间作者躲在唱诗班的教室里，结合上文她不想见Lucy可知，她是希望能避开Lucy。故选B。 6．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我一直在想一些合适的话对她说，因为我真的想把事情做好。A. personal个人的；B. discouraging令人沮丧的；C. unusual不寻常的；D. appropriate合适的。根据上文Lucy的母亲病得很重，以及下文“because I really wanted to get it right”可知，作者想把事情做好，应该想要说合适的话，给予Lucy安慰和力量。故选D。 7．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我一整天都在逃避和她见面，最后一节课我将不得不面对她，但我仍然没有一个计划。A. plan计划；B. explanation解释；C. goal目标；D. clue线索。根据上文“Strength?
