Almost instantly I loved her. She had an unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking， 36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reasons，she was impressed with my work and me.,Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions，so I began to 41 them. She trusted me to complete things，so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42 I was，so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me，so I began to believe in myself.,Mrs. Neidls 43 that year was，“Try it. We can always paint over it 44 ! ”I began to take 45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failingonly things to be 46 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 47 create something.,The shy，quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the program as “Student Art Assistant” because of the time and effort Id put in. It was that year that I 49 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.,Being on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought，but I also 51 a strong interest and a world I hadnt known existed. She taught me not to 52 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her 54 in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 55 .,36. A. and B. yet C. so D. for 【解析】选B。考查连词及句子理解。前面unpleasant voice 和a direct way of speaking是消极意向, 后面encouraging 和 inspiring是积极意向, 因此需填转折连词, 四个选项中A表并列, C表结果，D表原因，只有B选项yet表转折。,37. A. opinion B. impression C. information D. intention 【解析】选A。考查名词及篇章理解。第二段第二句话“她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事情”直接提示了这个空应该选“观点opinion”这个词。第二段倒数第四句话中也出现了这个词从而验证了其正确性。B. impression 印象、C. information 信息、D. intention 意图，均不符合题意。,38. A. make B. keep C. handle D. change 【解析】选C。考查动词及篇章理解。根据文章主旨选择“处理”事情。考纲要求考生掌握handle 的两种意思，名词是“柄、把”，动词是“处理”，这里考查后者。A. 做、创造；B. 保持；D. “改变”; 均不符题意。,39. A. anything B. something C. everything D. nothing 【解析】选D。考查代词及句子理解。开始我不知如何回答是因为我对舞台设计“一无所知”。 know nothing about sth. 对某事一无所知。,40. A. questions B. comments C. explanations D. remarks 【解析】选A。考查名词及篇章理解。解题关键词是本句的 “respond 回答、响应”，线索是第二段第一句中的 “ask 提问”及第三句中的“answer 回答”， 因此这里填 “question 问题”这个词。B、D选项是评论，C是解释，不符合题意。,41. A. hold B. follow C. evaluate D. form 【解析】选D。考查动词及篇章理解。本句的them指代opinions 。form opinion形成观点 。hold opinion持有某种观点，根据文意推断作者开始并没有观点，由于她相信我有观点所以我形成了观点，强调形成这个过程，另外begin to后接有变化感的词，故选form不选hold。B. follow 遵照, C . evaluate评估，与题意差别较大。,42. A. happy B. lively C. reliable D. punctual 【解析】选C。考查形容词及句子理解。解题线索在后半句 “so I began to show up to paint more and more. ” 作者做的事情变多是Mrs. Neidl信任的结果，说明我是个可信赖(reliable)的人, C选项符合题意。其他三个选项：happy 高兴的；lively活泼的；punctual 准时的，都不能表达出这种合理的因果关系。另外迷惑性较大的lively通常用来形容物。,43. A. message B. motto C. saying D. suggestion 【解析】选B。考查名词及句子理解。引号里是一句鼓励性质的话，而且前面“that year”也是线索，说明这话是她的motto(座右铭)。迷惑性较大的C选项saying是“谚语”的意思，往往是人们长期形成的对生活及经验的总结，强调群体性及时间性，故不合适，message 信息，suggestion 建议，不合题意。,44. A. again B. more C. instead D. later 【解析】选D。考查副词及篇章理解。本题难度较大，解题关键词是介词“over”，表覆盖。选择later 可以理解为“如果没有画好，稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上。” more更多， instead 代替， 不合题意。迷惑性最大的是again. 表示“再一次、又一次”，但是放在这里与over意思重复，paint over it later相当于 paint it again，故不选A。,45. A. steps B. control C. charge D. risks 【解析】选D。考查名词及篇章理解。take risks 固定搭配，冒险。通读全文发现作者是开始很不自信，第四段开头也提示了作者“shy” , “quiet”, 因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险，是自我突破的过程，文章最后一段也提到了take chances冒险，因此选D。take steps是“采取措施、步骤”的意思，与文章主题不搭，control 和 charge 都有“控制”的意思，不合题意。,46. A. improved B. acted C. looked D. reflected 【解析】选A。考查动词及句子理解。improve upon 改进。线索是本段开头的座右铭“试试吧，我们永远可以重画一次。”因此不存在失败，只存在改进。act upon按照、对起作用，look upon 看待、考虑，reflect upon 考虑、回顾，均不符合题意。,47. A. easily B. carefully C. confidently D. proudly 【解析】选C。考查副词及篇章理解。本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程，根据前文提示作者曾很不自信，后来在Mrs. Neidl的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔，因此选confidently。easily 容易地。作者超越自我的过程并不容易。carefully 小心地。创作并不是个小心翼翼的过程。proudly 骄傲地。文章中没有任何体现。,48. A. introduced B. recognized C. identified D. considered 【解析】选B。考查动词辨析。be recognized as“被公认为、被承认”。 introduce “介绍、引入”，be identified as“被确定是”，有验证身份的意思，be considered as “被认为、被当做”。其中 be recognized as 有“被大家承认、被普遍接受”的意思，表意更准确。,49. A. confirmed B. decided C. realized D. acknowledged 【解析】选C。考查动词用法。解题关键词是“want ”。作者意识到自己想要的是什么，所以用realized. 迷惑项是decided 决定。可以说决定要什么，但不可以说决定想什么，因为想法是不可控制的。confirm 证实；acknowledge 承认，与题意差别较大。,50. A. with B. below C. of D. by 【解析】选A。考查介词。being with sb. 与某人在一起。这里不能选of是因为全文第一句话，Mrs. Neidl是“ one of the directors”，所以不能说是她的团队。below 和 by 搭配错误。,51. A. developed B. discovered C. took D. fostered 【解析】选B。考查动词。发现了一项爱好和一个未知的世界，选discovered，迷惑项是developed ，这个词可以与interest 连用表示形成了某种爱好，但是不可以与world连用表示“形成一个未知世界，”故排除。take interest 取利，foster 培养，均不合适。,52. A. accept B. care C. judge D. wonder 【解析】选B。考查动词及篇章理解。“她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做”，care 在乎，符合文意。accept 接受，judge 判断 ，wonder 怀疑，均不合文意。 53. A. bored B. lazy C. sad D. afraid 【解析】选D。考查形容词及句意理解。be afraid害怕。前面说take chances 冒险，后面理所当然说不要怕(失败)，而且前文反复出现了afraid 这个词，是全篇的关键词。bored 无聊的，lazy 懒惰的，sad 伤心的，在文中均无体现。,54. A. trust B. patience C. curiosity D. interest 【解析】选A。考查名词及篇章理解。trust 信任。通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs. Neidl对作者的信任，并在第二段明确使用了trust这个词，因此推断出答案。patience 耐心，curiosity好奇心，interest兴趣，文中均无体现。,55. A. accessible B. enjoyable C. possible D. favorable 【解析】选C。考查形容词及篇章理解。“她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不可能的事情”， “never imagined possible” 等于 “imagined impossible. ” 认为不可能的，符合文意。accessible 容易取得的；enjoyable 有趣的；favorable 有利的，赞同的，均不合题意。,. 阅读理解(共15小题; 每小题2分，满分30分) (A) Open Letter to an Editor I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recentlyone who works for you.
