Answer 1

解析：

36．C．依据文章可以判断出她对美国感兴趣而且一直是梦想着去那里。

37．B．从后文中：watching TV…off to the cinema with…这一句话看出她从书本中了解到的是美国人的生活。

38．C．依据后面的“…in mind”可以判断C符合.

39．A．依据习惯搭配和美国的生活习惯。

40．B.依据四个动词各自的意思并结合后文中“when she arrived…she found…”可以看出是早就“安排好了”不仅仅停留在计划或者憧憬中。

41．B．依据上文可知她以前没有来过美国，所以只能I have a picture in mind，因此对美国只有一种“想象”。

42．A．从后文：I felt very alone可以看出没有人与她交流，他们都很紧张。

43．C．依据后文：the other students were ____it和she made it through the class这两处得到正确答案。

44．B．从后句but I wasn’t以及Come on, you can do that说明the others were good at it.

45．D．依据常识可知排球是hit。

46．C．磁体同上题一样需要一些生活常识，只要了解排球的游戏规则，便知“过网”。

47．B．从上文but I wasn’t和but it terrified Atsuko可看出Atsuko根本就没有击球，只是她心中的一种假设，她担心失败。

48．D．从上文提到Atsuko 有一种“害怕，犹豫”的情绪。对于这种内在的心理只能靠心里去感知。

49．D．此题与上一题有很大关系，因为the young man觉察到了Atsuko的害怕和犹豫，但既要鼓励又不能伤害她的自尊，这种情况下只能whisper才合情合理。

50．B．依据以上两题的分析可以看出是对她的“鼓励”。

51．D．本题,一可以依据前句的perhaps一词推断，二可以从Atsuko当时从害怕到犹豫到接受鼓励，最后made it through的惊喜，这一连串复杂情感变化，不难看出Atsuko自己心中的一种难以表达的，说不清楚的迷惑。

52.A.依据下文的when things are not going so well, I think of them。

53．D．从上下文中得知the young man的话对她当时克服困难有意义，更对她以后的人生有重要的意义。

54．B．依据文章：一个人言语对其他人的影响会保持很久。

55．C．从上下文可以看出You can do that这句话是很朴素但很感人的。
