Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders. I could tell, for the Beaches there was no between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.
When Su and I college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.

【小题1】B 考查动词辨析。A 居住；生活，B 分享、共有；C 占有；D 购买；句意：我和父亲共同分享一间有着两个双人床和一个浴室的房间。B项为不及物动词，后面带in才能接a room作宾语；C项和D项不符合上下文内容，故B正确。
【小题2】C考查形容词辨析。A 便宜的；B 喧闹的；C 小的；D 有限的；根据上文内容，父女两共有这样一个放着两张双人床，还圈出一个浴室的房间，应该是狭小的，故C正确。
【小题3】A考查介词短语辨析。A 处在麻烦中；B 在视野内；C 在适当的地方；D 部分。根据下文内容，作者的继母把我们赶出了家门，故是爸爸的第二次婚姻出现了问题，所以选A正确。
【小题4】C考查上下文串联。A打击； B 除掉； C 踢； D 敲击根据整句话的意思以及下文的叙述可知“爸爸的婚姻遭到麻烦，继母把父女两赶出了家门，与赶出有意思相近的动词就是kicked了，故C正确。

【小题8】C考查动词辨析。A 工作； B 旅游；C 生活；D 学习；根据下文with them for the next seven years.可知作者是与他们生活了七年。
【小题9】D考查动词短语辨析。A 算出；B 召唤；C 小心；D 确保；作者能够有饭钱，医生的约定，帮助学习是在新的家庭里得到的，作为他们的女儿，父母是要确保孩子的，A,B,C均不符合上下文逻辑，根据句意分析故D正确。

【小题14】D考查动词辨析。A 提供； B 教育，教； C 鼓励；D 抚养；根据上文“When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people”可知父亲要靠别人抚养他的孩子。即可选D。
【小题15】B考查形容词辨析。A 不同的；B 不公平的； C 容易的；D 有希望的；根据作者与Beaches生活之前，她遭遇了家庭破裂的事，这对于一个孩子的影响是很大的，使作者产生对生活的消极态度是可以理解，也是符合常理的，而且下文作者说：爱是摇摆不定的，不可信的；可知选B项。
【小题16】D考查连词辨析。A 幸亏，由于； B 不管； C 除了 D 要不是；这里作者要表达：要不是Beaches,我就会成为一个痛苦的，愤世嫉俗的女人。句中“would havebecome”是关键，它决定了前面的空是but for而不是“thanks to”；若选“thanks to”应为：幸亏了他们一家，我才没有变成一个……；很明显，thanks to是最具干扰性。
【小题17】A考查上下文串联。A 家； B 房子；C 能力；D 课程；根据全文意思:作者与他们共同生活，他们也把作者当做女儿来看待，所以他们给予“我”的应是一个家庭。
【小题18】C考查名词辨析。 A 选择； B 失败； C 过去； D 礼物；句意：他们让我免于被我的过去使我麻痹颓废。所以选C项。
【小题19】D考查动词短语辨析。 A 怀疑 B 号召； C 着重在，集中于； D 相信；根据文章后一部分，作者因为Beaches一家而从原来的消极对待生活变成积极面对，她也由此相信爱，相信有家。故D正确。
【小题20】A考查形容词辨析。 A 出生； B 接受； C 受教育；D 被荒废的；对于我来说，它不是那天我出生的家，而是……。根据文章，“我”是住在Beaches家的，不是在那里出生的。
