Answer 1

分析 当我上小学的时候，我是班里最聪明的孩子之一．我不学习也能考得很好，至少在我心里我就是一个小天才．我也很擅长音乐和运动．我确定当我上七年级的时候，每个人包括老师都会为我感到惊讶．
但实际上，他们并没有．
当我到了新班级的时候，似乎总有人在一件事情上做的比我更好．我的分数变差了，而且我也需要为考试而努力学习．我觉得我不聪明了，也不觉得自己是天才了，我认为自己失败了．
在接下来的两年里，我不得不为我做的每一件事情而努力，分数有所提高但是依然不高．我很努力但是依然不能在每一件事情上做到最好．
但是我真的必须在每一件事情上做到最好吗？我感受到的所有压力，当我做错事时的窘迫，都是因为我自己．我对自己太苛刻了．事实上，当我考得不好的时候，同学们从来不会嘲笑我．
没有人是完美的．在某些事情上也许总有人比我做得好，我不会在每件事上都是第一，但是真的没关系．

解答 29：B  考查动词   根据句意"我从不_，但是在所有考试中我总能得到很高的分数．"可知，应填词语意为"学习"，A 忘记； B 学习；C 后悔．故答案为B
30：C   考查固定词组  根据句意"I was a child genius，at least in my mind．I was also_music and sports．至少在我心里我就是一个小天才．我也_音乐和运动"可知，这里意为"擅长"．A  繁忙；B 厌烦；C 擅长．故答案为C
31：A   考查过去分词   A 吃惊；B 害怕；C 愚弄．根据上文可知，他觉得自己是个天才，所以每个人都会为他感到惊讶，故答案为A
32：A   考查形容词的比较级   根据"My grades got worse and I needed to actually be studying for my tests"可知，这里应该意为"似乎总有人在一件事情上做的比我更好"，故答案为A better
33：B    考查动词    A 通过；B 失败；C 放松 根据"I believed I wasn't smart．I believed I wasn't talented"可知，这里应该为"我认为我失败了"，故答案为B
34：A    考查动词　根据"Grades were still very low but gradually_　分数依然很低但是逐渐地_"中的"but"可知，这里表示转折，所以这里意为"分数依然很低但是逐渐地提高了"，A提高；B争斗；C　报告；故答案为A
35：C    考查名词　A　发展；B　兴奋；C　窘迫　根据"all that　_　when I did wrong　所有当我做错事时的_"可知，只有C符合语境，故答案为C
