    The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
    The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often          about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
    All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who           that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this           girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
    But how could I help her            in with us? There had to be a           .
    One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had            her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)           copy.
    I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming          show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had          . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted          the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough          . Could you help me, Suzy?”
    On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s             were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
    “And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students            them.”
    I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw          well?”
    Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “           this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a             ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
    Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
    I            , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never          anything in her whole life.
    Everyone started to            their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to ne all right.

    【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲了一个非洲来的儿童Suzy被美国家庭收养，为让孩子了解美国生活，他们把孩子送进学校和美国孩子一起学习。但那些美国孩子却经常嘲笑她。一次偶然的机会，“我”发现了她的绘画才能，并把她介绍给艺术老师。艺术老师也认同她的绘画才能，让她帮自己制作才艺秀的海报。在才艺秀结束的时候，校长颁发给Suzy一个特殊的奖项，同学们也认可和接纳了她。
    小题1:A 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。根据语境，这里是说“班里的男孩子会拿她开玩笑，然后就是哄堂大笑。而她也只好眼含泪水地假装看书。”joke about 拿…开玩笑，care about介意，在乎，forget about忘记，worry about为…担忧。
    小题2:B 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。这个非洲孤儿被美国家庭收养，美国家庭决定（认定）和美国孩子在一起才能让她学会美国生活方式。decide这里是认定、断定的意思，report报告、报道，complain抱怨，投诉，question质疑，提问。
    小题3:C 考查形容词词义辨析。根据上文叙述，这个女孩比同龄12岁的孩子都要瘦小，所以“我低头看着这个小小的女孩子，下决心无论如何都要帮助她”。rich富有的，proud骄傲的，popular流行的，受欢迎的。显然都不符合语境。tiny ="very" small。
    小题4:C 考查动词词义辨析和上下文语境。我打算帮助这个女孩与大家融洽相处。文章标题已给出提示。fit in with适合，与…一致。
    小题5:D 考查名词词义辨析。根据上文决定帮助小女孩与大家一致，必须寻找一个办法/方法。manner做事或行为方式,多指行动的特殊方式或独特的方法，pattern指模式、花样、图案等，choice指选择，way指方式、方法、手段等，可指一般的方法，有时也指个人的方法或方式。因为这里没有谈到什么方法，所以只能用笼统的方法way。
    小题6:C 考查动词词义辨析和语境。Suzy把书打开到火车图片那里。open…to把…翻到，to是介词，表达“到…地方”。其他均不合适。
    小题7:B 考查形容词词义辨析和上下文语境。她对火车图的复制，效果怎样要看文中第44题后的陈述，“why, it’s wonderful”可知，非常好，与此题选项中的perfect相近。
    小题8:D 考查名词词义辨析和上下文语境。根据后文第45题后的陈述“the talent show”我们知道这是一个才艺秀。
    小题9:D 考查动词词义辨析和语境。根据上文陈述，Suzy在画火车，所以这里应该是“我”把她画的东西展示给艺术老师看。color意思为涂色和染色, write书写，carve雕刻，draw画。
    小题10:C 考查介词。根据文章内容，这里是老师拿出一张“为才艺秀”做的海报。for意为“为…”。
    小题11:B 考查名词词义辨析和语境。由该空前面“more”和空后的”help”两个词可知，老师还需要更多的海报，但老师“没有足够的时间”，所以才请Suzy帮忙制作。
    小题12:D 考查名词词义辨析和上下文语境。上文已谈到，艺术老师想让Suzy帮忙制作一些海报，所以，才艺秀当天应该到处都能看到Suzy制作的海报。
    小题13:A 考查形容词词义辨析。才艺秀当天大家都表演了，还要颁发一个特殊的奖项给制作海报的人，因为制作海报原本不是才艺秀的内容。
    小题14:A 考查动词词义辨析和上下文。文中这句话的意思说“我们一个学生画了这些海报”，除了draw以外，我们还可以使用paint一词，表示绘画。
    小题15:B 考查副词词义。修饰形容词或副词，表示那么，那样，我们一般用so，也可以用that，二者意思相近。that well="so" well。
    小题16:D 考查状语从句的连接词和上下文语境。“因为这位同学如此努力地画了这些海报”，所以值得奖励。since="now" that/because。
    小题17:A 考查名词词义辨析和语境。因为努力画了这些海报，这位同学值得奖励。prize奖励， rank等级，秩序，rest休息，place地点，位置。
    小题18:B 考查动词词义辨析。该空描写作者的思想活动，是意识到她从来没有拥有过什么，这些成就和别人的承认第一次让她意识到自己的能力和重要。Reply回答，realize意识到，remember回忆，regret后悔，遗憾。
    小题19:C 考查动词词义辨析。因为是外来的移民，没有融入大家的生活中，这次活动让大家看到了她拥有的东西。
    小题20:A 考查动词词义辨析。因为她画得好，得到校长表扬，才能得到大家认可，所以大家为她鼓掌。clap one’s hands鼓掌。

    When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.
    My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.
    Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.
    Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.
    小题1:After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.
    A．divorce her husbandB．be a wedding photographer
    C．pay off all her debtD．go travelling abroad
    小题2: What can we learn about the author from the 2nd paragraph?
    A．She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip.
    B．She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer.
    C．She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.
    D．She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.
    小题3:The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.
    A．her personal reasonsB．her photographing skills
    C．free marketing for bloggingD．booming of travel industry
    小题4: What did the author think of her two years' work?
    A．Inspiring. B．Appealing. C．Interesting. D．Challenging.

    Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
    I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
    Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
    After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
    Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.
    小题1:What do we know about the author?
    A．His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge.
    B．His dream at university was to become a volunteer.
    C．He took pride in having contributed to the world.
    D．He felt honored to study English literature.

    A．discussed his decision with his family.
    B．asked previous volunteers about voluntary work
    C．attended special training to perform difficult tasks
    D．felt sad about having to leave his family and friends
    小题3:In his application for the volunteer job, the author         
    A．participated in many discussions
    B．went through challenging survival tests
    C．wrote quite a few paper on voluntary work
    D．faced strong competition from other candidates

    A．asked to lead a farming team
    B．sent to teach in a schoolhouse
    C．received warmly by local villagers
    D．arranged to live in a separate house.

    B．He had learned to communicate in the local language.
    C．He had overcome all his weaknesses before he left for home.
    D．He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students.

    Steven Spielberg was not  a scholar, and his classmates teased him. Rather than read,  the kid really preferred running around with an 8mm camera, shooting home­made movies, which he showed to friends for a small fee.
    In his first year of high school, he dropped out. But  when his parents persuaded him to return, he was mistakenly placed in a learning­disabled class, which lasted one  month. Only when the family moved to another town did he  land up in a more suitable high school, where he eventually  graduated.
    After being denied entrance into a traditional film­making school, Steven Spielherg enrolled in English at California State University at Long Beach. Then in 1965, he  recalls, in one of those serendipitous moments, his life  took a complete turn. Visiting Universal Studios, he met  Chuck Silvers, an executive in the editorial department. Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him  back sometime to visit.
    He appeared the next day. Spielberg, dressed in a dark  suit, carrying his father's briefcase with nothing inside but  a sandwich and candy bars walked confidently up to the  guard at the gate of Universal and gave him a casual wave.  The guard waved back. He was in.
    “For the entire summer，” Spielberg remembers, “I  dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and  writers, including Silvers, who knew the kid wasn't a studio employee, but winked at him. I even found an office  that wasn't being used, and became a squatter (擅自占用他人房子的人). I bought some plastic tiles and put my  name  in  the  building  directory:  Steven  Spielberg,  Room 23C.”
    It paid off for everyone. Ten years later, the 28­year­old Spielberg directed Jaws, which took in $470 million,   then the biggest grossing movie of all time. Dozens of films   and awards have followed because Steven Spielberg knew   what his teachers didn't—talent is in the eyes of the filmmaker.
    小题1:Why was Steven Spielberg laughed at by his classmates?
    A．He was the youngest boy.

    Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21­year­old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
    “I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home'，but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education，” says Jacobs.
    The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
    With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
    At the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
    “If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won't have an affordable system of higher education，” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
    Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
    小题1:According to Paragraph 1，why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?
    A．The twins wasted too much money.
    B．The father was out of work.
    C．Their saving ran out
    D．The family fell apart.
    小题2:How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?
    A．They asked their kids to come home.
    B．They borrowed $20,000 from the school.
    C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part­time jobs.
    D．They got help from the school and the federal government.
    小题3:Financial aid administrators believe that ________.
    A．more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
    B．the government will receive more letters of complaint
    C．college tuition fees will double soon
    D．America's unemployment will fall
    小题4:．What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
    A．They blamed the government for the tuition increase.
    B．Their income remained steady in the last decade.
    C．They will try their best to send kids to college.
    D．Their debts will be paid off within 25 years
