名师点评
文章介绍了自己二十多年前，第一次遇到他的老校长的经历。应当说是一个很平凡的经历。但却深深地印在作者的脑海中，也许是因为它太平凡，也许是因为它是作者生活的转折点，也许其实生活本来就是由无数个平凡所组成的。
答案简析在下一页：
1. B。根据常识，应该是小孩随家人一起回到London。
2. D。上文提及到因为战争，所以没有足够的学校供孩子们。
3. C。无论是从意思上或语法上看，只有用ask，意为请求他们把我收下。let sb. do sth. , make sb. do sth. 没有 hope sb. to do sth.。
4. A。had been too去过，had gone to已经去了，这是初中部分很重要的两个词组，中国学生特别容易混淆。而这里的意思说我们去过我家附近的所有的学校。
5. A。in the end 最终，at first 起初，at once 立刻，by then到那时为止。根据意思当然选A。
6. B。five kilometers away from home 离家5公里处。这里很多学生会选far,事实上我们只能用副词away。
7. C。从at least可知不选A或B，但根据上下文可知也不可能选D，c 最恰如其分
8. D。这里强调让我们走进他的办公室。
9. C。根据常识可知。
10. B。由此可见作者知道校长大多要问这样的问题，也想出了一些回答方法。think of 想出。
11. A。从上下文的意思看是转折关系。
12. A。此处只有用anyone，意为谁也不认识。
13. B。 A和C绝不能用，因为后面有名词boys， the other表示其他所有的男孩，故也不能选。
14. B。意为还有空位子。
15. D。among the happiest of my life 意为是我一生中最快乐的时候的一部分。其他介词都不对。
