B Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can—then let the unconscious take over. When planning Encyclopedia Britannica( 《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. 24. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to . A. work hard B. delay tasks C. seek help D. accept failure 25. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A. Before starting a difficult task. B. After finding a way out. C. If the job is rather boring. D. When all the solutions fail. 26. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us . A. find the right solution B. get some nice sleep C. gain complete relief D. ignore mental problems 27. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Success Is Built upon Failure B. How to Handle Performance Fatigue C. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success D. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems C “You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time. Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses. For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement. The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics — in particular, related to failure — are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests. Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation. 28. Which of the following is an example of process response? A. You are a lucky dog. B. Running is in your blood. C. What works well for your study? D. Why are you such a math genius? 29. What can be inferred from the study results? A. Parents prefer to give more process responses. B. Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety. C. Process responses help with children’s math achievement. D. Person responses can discourage children from learning math. 30. What do researchers advise parents to do? A. Restrict person responses. B. Defend their own beliefs. C. Stress children’s performance. D. Ignore children’s math problems. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps B. The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters C. Responses to Enhance Children’s Math Performance D. Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math D Plastic-Eating Worms Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms. Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017. Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. ＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. ＂ Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)? Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂ 32. What can we learn about the worms in the study? A. They take plastics as their everyday food. B. They are newly evolved creatures. C. They can consume plastics. D. They wind up in landfills. 33. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to . A. identify other means of the breakdown B. find out the source of the enzyme C. confirm the research findings D. increase the breakdown speed 34. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might . A. help to raise worms B. help make plastic bags C. be used to clean the oceans D. be produced in factories in future 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain a study method on worms. B. To introduce the diet of a special worm. C. To present a way to break down plastics. D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Friendship needs care and attention to keep it in good health. Here are five ways to sustain (保持) long-distance friendships. ● Set a regular date Long-lasting friendships share the characteristic that both sides equally contact and share with one another. With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge. 36 ● More isn’t always merrier Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both. 37 . There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat. ● Practise empathy (共情) 38 . The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demand placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned. ● 39 Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends’ birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you. ● Don't rely on technology alone 40 , but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain. Try to seek out chances to renew friendships. How to do it? Just spend face-to-face time together whenever possible. A. Remember important dates B. Make up by writing letters C. It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeper D. Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it E. Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communication F. It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media G. You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind 第三部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Forty years ago, Mrs. Austen was my first-grade teacher, an old lady with salt-and-pepper hair, firm but kind, patient and 41 .

So awkward was he that he often got zero jumps in tests. During every PE training, he would linger (徘徊) at the end of the line, head hanging low. When it was his turn to jump, the rope always tripped his feet. Other students skipping quickly and neatly, Leo could hardly make a single steady jump, always ending up with zero. Overwhelmed by shame, he even intended to skip PE classes to escape embarrassment. Observing Leo’s sadness, Mr. Hayes, the PE teacher, never blamed him or pushed him hard. One noon, as Leo was sitting alone on the playground, eyes red with frustration, the teacher walked over. Handing him a rope for beginners, Mr. Hayes comforted him gently. “No rush. Every tiny attempt counts.” He promised to keep him company and practise with him during lunch breaks. From then on, they trained every noon. Mr. Hayes demonstrated (示范) basic moves repeatedly while Leo learned patiently. Stumbling (绊脚) countless times and starting from zero again and again, he never gave up. His classmates cheered sincerely when he finally made a breakthrough and finished ten continuous jumps. As weeks passed by, Leo achieved steady progress, able to skip thirty times in a row. With the school skipping competition approaching, each class needed three competitors. To Leo’s surprise, Mr. Hayes and all the classmates selected him. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Shocked, Leo headed for Mr. Hayes’s office.

Shocked, Leo headed for Mr. Hayes’s office. He stood nervously in front of the teacher, doubting his ability to compete. Sensing his hesitation, Mr. Hayes smiled warmly and told Leo that progress mattered most. He said Leo’s persistent efforts and great improvement had impressed everyone deeply. Encouraged by the teacher’s sincere words, Leo finally plucked up his courage and decided to take the challenge. He made up his mind to train harder to live up to everyone’s trust. The day of the skipping competition arrived finally. Standing on the playground with his classmates, Leo took a deep breath and calmed himself down. As the whistle blew, he swung the rope skillfully and jumped steadily. His movements were neat and fluent. The cheers from his classmates rang out constantly. Though he did not win the first prize, he finished the competition perfectly. Holding his head high, Leo wore a bright smile. He truly learned that constant effort and self-belief can turn weakness into strength. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了七年级男孩Leo跳绳能力极差，测试常常零分，因自卑羞愧想要逃避体育课。体育老师海耶斯先生没有责备他，而是耐心陪伴、指导他利用午休坚持练习。历经无数次失败，Leo坚持不懈、稳步进步，最终获得老师和同学们的认可，并被选为班级跳绳比赛参赛选手的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“震惊之余，利奥走向海斯先生的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写Leo因不自信心生犹豫，老师耐心开导鼓励，让他重拾勇气、决心刻苦备赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“跳绳比赛的日子终于到来。”可知，第二段可描写Leo赛场稳定发挥、顺利完赛，收获成长与感悟，明白坚持与自信的意义。 2.续写线索：心存疑虑 —— 老师开导 —— 鼓起勇气 —— 刻苦备赛 —— 赛场参赛 —— 顺利完赛 —— 收获感悟 3.词汇激活 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 行为类 ①鼓起勇气：pluck up his courage/gather his courage ②努力训练：train harder/make greater efforts to practise 情绪类 ①紧张：nervously/tensely ②冷静下来：calm himself down/regain his composure 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the whistle blew, he swung the rope skillfully and jumped steadily.

It’s only a month since the accident on the field. (Text 5) M: Excuse me, I’m trying to find the art gallery. Is it near here, do you know? W: I’m sorry. I’m a visitor here as well.

And they will all be hot. M: That would be great. How to deal with the 13 ones we have here? Shall we give them back? W: No, you keep them and we won’t charge you for them.

M: Well, I was just wondering if you could help me with my history lessons because I’ve been absent for three days. W: Sure, why were you absent for so long? M: I was pretty sick after my trip to London, so the doctor suggested that I should not attend classes for a couple of days in order to rest. And my father helped me ask for sick leave. I decided to ask for your help because you always get good grades in history. W: I’m sorry to hear that you were sick, Sam. Don’t worry, I’ll help you out. Where should we start? What is the last topic you have in your notes? M: Let me see. I do recall that the last notes I have are about the wars between Athens and Sparta. I missed pretty much everything that came after that period in history. W: OK, there is a lot of information to cover then. M: So what time is convenient for you? Then I’ll come to your home, say 6 p.m.? W: We’d better start an hour later because we usually have dinner at that time. M: Okay. (Text 10) M: Good afternoon!

In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult.（我们以两种方式体验这种疲劳:开始性疲劳和能力型疲劳。在前一种情况下，我们不断推迟一项任务，因为它要么太无聊，要么太难。）由此可知，有开始性疲劳的人们最有可能推迟任务。故选B。 【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段第二句Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can—then let the unconscious take over（它的困难看起来如此之大，以至于无论我们多么努力工作，我们都会一次又一次地失败。在这种情况下，我尽我所能地努力工作——然后让潜意识接管）由此可推断出，能力型疲劳是无论我们工作的多艰辛，但是我们还是一遍又一遍的失败，故，当所有的解决办法都失败的时候，一个人会感到能力型疲劳。A项意为：当一个人开始一项困难的任务之前。B项意为：在找到解决办法之后。C项意为：如果这个工作相当无聊。均不符合文意。故选D。 【26题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step在“我”精疲力竭睡了一觉之后，我的脑海里清晰地出现了一个解决办法。故这种潜意识有助于找到解决办法。故选A。 【27题详解】主旨大意题。本文主要针对两种不同类型的疲劳，作者给出了解释和解决办法并通过自己的例子给出了证明。第一段和第二段是总领全文段落，引出两种不同的疲劳。第三段和第四段是对于“开始性疲劳”给出的定义，解决方法和自身的经历。第五段到第八段是对于“能力型疲劳”给出的定义，解决方案和自身经历。最后一段对文章中心的升华。由此可知，文章是关于克服疲劳，走向成功的文章。A项意为：成功建立于失败之上。B项意为：怎样处理能力型疲劳。C项意为：克服疲劳是走向成功的方法。D项意为：疲劳是健康问题的早期信号。均不符合文意，故选C。 【点睛】主旨大意题型范围一般包括：短文标题、主旨大意或段落大意等。此题要求考生在理解文章后归纳文章要点、概括中心思想。考生需要分析文章的篇章结构，抓住文章的开头和结尾从而找出概括文章的主题句。主题句特点：一、语言特点：归纳性、概括性、抽象性。二、位置特点：主题句常出现在总结性语言的信号词后面。如：In a word, as a result, In conclusion. C篇 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应，会对孩子产生不同的作用；用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子，可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩。 【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.(相比之下，将孩子的行为（如努力或策略的使用）与他们的表现联系起来的父母正在使用过程反应。)”可知，将孩子的行为与他们的表现联系起来的父母使用的是过程反应，分析四个选项，C项“What works well for your study?(什么对你的学习有效？)”将孩子的行为与表现联系起来，符合语境，属于“过程反应”，故选C。 【29题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics -- in particular, related to failure -- are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.(虽然强调策略和努力的回答与任何成绩结果无关，但收到更多关于个人特征（特别是与失败有关的）回答的孩子更有可能避免更难的数学问题，表现出更高的数学焦虑水平，在数学成绩测试中得分更低。)”可推理出，个人反应会阻碍孩子学习数学，故选D。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home.(因为个人反应预示着孩子随着时间的推移会有较差的数学适应能力，研究人员建议父母在家里限制这种反应。)”可知，专家建议父母限制个人反应，故选A。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。通读整篇文章，尤其是第一段中“Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.(最近，乔治亚大学进行的一项新研究发现，随着时间的推移，鼓励孩子用与他们的个人特征或天生能力相关的回答可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成就。)”可知，文章主要内容是说父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应，会对孩子产生不同的作用；用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子，可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩。所以B项“The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters(父母与孩子谈论数学问题的方式)”可作为最恰当的题目，故选B。 D篇 【分析】本文为说明文。文章介绍了一种吃塑料的虫子大蜡螟，它胃中的酶能够降解塑料，这为解决塑料污染提供了新的途径。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic.可知，研究结果发现，蠕虫分解日常食物的能力让它们可以分解塑料，也就是说它们可以消费塑料。故选C。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?可知，下一步研究是辨清分解的原因，查明这种酶来源于哪里，是虫子自己产生的还是它肠道里的微生物产生的。故选B。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂可以推断出，Bertocchini希望这种化学物质将来能在工业生产中使用，而不是仅仅依靠蠕虫来分解塑料。故选D。 【35题详解】写作意图题。根据文章第一段最后一句So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.可知，有一种新的方法被用于分解塑料。再根据最后一段最后一句But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂可知，Bertocchini希望将这种方法推广到工业中。由此可以推知写作意图为介绍一种分解塑料的方法。故选C。 点睛：根据不同文体，推断目的意图。不同的文章可能有不同的写作目的，通常作者的写作目的有以下三种：1) to entertain readers（娱乐读者，让人发笑），常见于故事类的文章。2) to persuade readers（说服读者接受某种观点），常见于广告类的文章。3) to inform readers（告知读者某些信息），多见于科普类﹑新闻报道类﹑文化类或社会类的文章。阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。本题的最后一题为写作意图题。文章为说明文，主要介绍了一项新的研究发现---蠕虫可以分解塑料。因此可以推着写作意图是告知、告诉读者一种新的分解塑料的方法。 七选五【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了维持异地友谊的五种方法。 【36题详解】根据该段小标题是“Set a regular date(设定一个固定日期)”，以及前文“With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge.(在繁忙的日程安排中，挤出时间打电话可能是一项挑战。)”提到因日程繁忙打电话有挑战，D 选项“Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it.(试着找一个对你们俩都合适的时间，并坚持下去。)可以承接上文呢，符合设定固定日期进行交流的语境。故选D项。 【37题详解】根据上文“Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both.(确保你已经和你的朋友沟通过了，你们每个人都想多久联系一次，什么方法对你们俩都最有效。)”可知，此段强调要和朋友沟通联系频率及最佳沟通方式，E选项Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communication .(朋友们需要谈论他们偏好的沟通方式。)可知，承接上文内容，与该段主旨相符。故选E项。 【38题详解】根据下文“The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demand placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned.(留下来的朋友需要对已经离开的朋友所需要的额外时间保持敏感。新环境中的一方应该同情你的朋友可能感到被抛弃的事实。)”可知，后文分别提到了离开的朋友和留下的朋友应有的态度，G选项You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind.( 你可能是那个离开的朋友，也可能是那个被抛弃的人。) 可知，引出下文对两种朋友的描述，上下文紧密连接。故选G项。 【39题详解】由该题为段落小标题可知，为总结该段内容。该段下文“Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends’ birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you.(在异地友谊中，纪念日和生日更有分量。虽然科技可能使日常交流成为可能，但在特殊的日子里，额外的努力要走很长的路。简单地写日记，记录朋友的生日和其他重要的日子，就能确保你不会错过任何事情。)”可知，该段提到周年纪念日和生日在远距离友谊中更重要，要记录朋友的生日等重要日期，A选项Remember important dates.( 记住重要日期。)可知，符合该段主旨，为总结该段内容。故选A项。 【40题详解】根据小标题“Don’t rely on technology alone(不要只依赖科技)”，F选项It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media.( 通过社交媒体很容易有一种联系感。)与后文“but long-distance friendships—even close ones—may require more conscious effort to sustain.(但是远距离的友谊——即使是亲密的——可能需要更多有意识的努力来维持。)”形成转折，说明虽然通过社交媒体容易联系，但不能仅依赖它，上下文语意连贯，符合语境。故选F项。 完形填空【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者对曾经老师的回忆，描述了和老师之间的一段温馨而深刻的师生关系。 【41题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：四十年前，Austen夫人是我的一年级老师，一位头发花白、坚定而和蔼、耐心又慈祥的老太太。A. neighborly友好的；B. cowardly懦弱的、胆小的；C. grandmotherly慈祥的；D. scholarly学术性的、学者派头的。根据空前的“kind, patient”以及下文内容可知，Austen夫人是一位慈祥的老师。故选C。 【42题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：她让我们在学校的食堂烤姜饼人——这是一种令人愉快的款待，让我大吃一惊。A. treat款待；B. view观点；C. journey旅程；D. story故事。根据上文的“bake gingerbread men”可知，老师带学生在烤姜饼人，这是一种食物。故选A。 【43题详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：每当我们读《杰克和珍妮特》的故事时，她不会让其他孩子嘲笑我的同学Jack或我。A. call on号召；B. relate to有关、涉及；C. laugh at嘲笑；D. engage with与……接洽、衔接。根据空前“whenever we read the “Jack and Janet” books”可推测，作者的名字应该是Janet，而根据常理可知，小孩可能会因为自己的同学和故事书中人物同名而嘲笑同学。根据上文可知，这位老师非常的有爱心，由此可知，她会阻止自己的学生这样做。故选C。 【44题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：但是，当学校安排了一次装扮日时，我才真正感激Austen夫人。A. remember记得；B. appreciate欣赏、感激；C. believe相信；D. approach接近。根据下文内容以及“a teacher who went out of her way, and even ____13____ her husband’s help, to keep a little girl from feeling ____14____ .”可知，作者非常感激自己的老师曾经为她所做的一切，保护了一个女孩的自尊心。故选B。 【45题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：但是，当学校安排了一次装扮日时，我真正感受到了Austen夫人的特别。A. appointed任命、委派；B. canceled取消；C. established建立；D. scheduled预定；安排。根据下文“On that day, we were encouraged to wear clothes in the ____6___ of the mid-1800s.”可知，学校安排了一次装扮日。故选D。 【46题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：在那一天，我们被鼓励穿19世纪中期风格的衣服。A. field田地、领域、场地；B. style风格；C. course课程；D. show表演、展览。根据下文“My mother, a superb tailor, made a pioneer-style dress for me.”可知，学校鼓励学生在装扮日穿19世纪中期风格的衣服。故选B。 【47题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：那天我穿着它去上学，我感到很自豪。A. making制作；B. holding持有、保持；C. wearing穿戴；D. owning拥有。根据上文“My mother, a superb tailor, made a pioneer-style dress for me.”以及下文“I was the only one in my class who had dressed up”可知，作者是穿着妈妈所做的裙子去了学校。故选C。 【48题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：然而，当我到达那里时，却发现我是班里唯一一个装扮过的学生，这让我感到有点尴尬。A. surprised惊讶的；B. frightened害怕的；C. disappointed失望的；D. embarrassed尴尬的、难为情的。根据空前“I was the only one in my class who had dressed up”可知，作者是班里唯一一个穿着19世纪中期风格裙子的人，根据常理可知，作者此时感到有点尴尬。故选D。 【49题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：Austen夫人对我的服装啧啧称奇，然后去了她的办公室。A. cookies饼干；B. present礼物；C. costume服装、剧装；D. material物质。根据上文可知，作者穿着妈妈做的19世纪中期风格的裙子，由此可知，Austen是对作者的服装啧啧称奇。故选C。 【50题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：没过多久，她又出现了，穿着一件边疆风格的裙子！A. reappeared再出现；B. displayed显示、表现；C. announced通知；D. modeled模仿、做模型。根据上文“Mrs. Austen oohed and aahed over my ____9____ and then went to her office.”可知，Austen夫人去了办公室，由此可知，空处指的是她穿着一件边疆风格的裙子再次出现了。故选A。 【51题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：两年后我们搬走了，我至今仍感到遗憾，我从未对Austen夫人说过我是多么感激她，这位老师不仅费尽心思，甚至还请她丈夫帮忙，让一个小女孩不会感到格格不入。A. assume假定、设想；B. regret遗憾、后悔；C. imagine想象；D. pretend假装。根据空后“I never told Mrs. Austen how ____12____ I was to her”可知，作者并未向老师表达自己的感激，由此可知，作者感到很遗憾。故选B。 【52题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：两年后我们搬走了，我至今仍感到遗憾，我从未对Austen夫人说过我是多么感激她，这位老师不仅费尽心思，甚至还请她丈夫帮忙，让一个小女孩不会感到格格不入。A. dedicated专注的；B. important重要的；C. attached附加的、依恋的；D. grateful感激的。根据上文内容可知，Austen老师看到只有作者一人穿了19世纪风格的衣服，为了保护一个小女孩的自尊心，老师让丈夫为自己送来了那个时代的服装，并且穿上从而让作者不会感到尴尬。由此可推测，作者对老师充满了感激。故选D。 【53题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：两年后我们搬走了，我至今仍感到遗憾，我从未对Austen夫人说过我是多么感激她，这位老师不仅费尽心思，甚至还请她丈夫帮忙，让一个小女孩不会感到格格不入。A. sought寻找；B. deserved值得；C. offered提供；D. declined下降、拒绝。根据上文“She explained that she had asked her husband to bring the costume.”可知，Austen老师当时是向自己的丈夫寻求帮助。故选A。 【54题详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：两年后我们搬走了，我至今仍感到遗憾，我从未对Austen夫人说过我是多么感激她，这位老师不仅费尽心思，甚至还请她丈夫帮忙，让一个小女孩不会感到格格不入。A. at ease轻松地；B. in order整齐、秩序井然；C. out of place格格不入、不相称的；D. under control在控制下。根据上文“When I got there, however, I was the only one in my class who had dressed up, feeling kind of ____8____ .”可知，当时只有作者一人穿着19世纪风格的衣服，由此可知，当时的作者感到自己与其他同学格格不入，而幸亏Austen老师，作者才没有这种感觉。故选C。 【55题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这些年来，我遇到过许多优秀的老师，但Austen夫人在我心中一直占据着一个特殊的位置。A. typical典型的；B. special特别的；C. obvious明显的；D. ideal理想的。根据全文内容可知，Austen老师给作者留下了深刻的印象，由此可知，Austen老师对作者而言有着特殊的意义。故选B。 $
