　　in me. She wanted to know why I was lagging in studies, so frequently

　　30

　　patiently as I spilled out my worries. She then 32

　　me as I sobbed my pent-up （压抑的）emotions out. Months of frustration and loneliness 33

　　in her motherly hug.

　　No one had tried to

　　34

　　what the real problem was, but my principal had done it with her simple act of just listening to me with such

　　35

　　and caring.

　　As the examinations approached again, I studied

　　37 , everybody was pleased, but happiest of all was my principal.

　　I soon made new friends and was happy

　　English was always my favorite subject. In my freshman year of high school, I could write a killer composition. In my second year, my teacher

　　me to give spelling tests to the class. I had a

　　time of my junior year. Mrs Alexander

　　me to sit at her desk and take over the class when she had to leave the room. Only my senior English class was

　　, as we had a teacher right out of college who expected

　　work. Every student received a "C" or "D" grade the first quarter. But English was still my favorite subject.

　　I graduated from high school,

　　early and had children.

　　about my English, I often helped my kids with their English homework. And I wrote long articles and beautiful poetry as a columnist for a newspaper. Fifteen years later, I went to college, and because I had been an "A" student, I remained an "A" student. I

　　them or hide them. I was not an "A" student in high school English! Somehow, I had

　　myself of this, when the grades clearly reflected an average student with an

　　"A" or "B" but mostly "C” S.

　　Had I lived up to those grades and

　　myself according to those letters, I would have never confidently sought my writing career. Had I

　　my early grades instead of myself, I would have allowed my fear of failure to

　　enthusiasm and damage my creativity. Instead, I

　　my younger self as an "A" English student, except for that undeserved "D".

　　【解析】

　　36.A、C意思不符，可排除，learn可直接与Spanish相连，不能加his，故选B，意为“提高……水平”。答案为B。

　　37.in person意为“亲自”，是与后文中的“speaking on the phone”对照的。A项slowly“慢慢地”；B项in public“公开地”；D项carefully“仔细地，认真地”，均不符合题意。答案为C。

　　38.“have (some/no) difficulty (in) doing sth”是固定用法，意为“做某事有/没有困难”。答案为A。

　　39.根据上下文，可知此处应为一个转折关系的连词，用“however”。答案为D。

　　40.句子主、谓、宾俱全，欠缺修饰词，seldom是“很少”，just是“仅仅、只是”，even表“甚至”，只有still“仍然”，符合题意，表达与上句相反意思。答案为C。

　　41.从下文中Andy把起飞时间弄错了，说明Andy没有理解the clerk说的话，从上文他能面对面和别人交流而不能通过电话，我们可知道应是called。答案为A。

　　42.also是“而且，还，也”，是指the clerk除了告诉Andy他问的问题外，还告诉他一些另外的信息。答案为B。

　　43.时间段+earlier表示提前多长时间，before是在某个点时间之前，later，after不符合题意，答案为B。

　　44. 因为leave是短暂性动词，用进行时态代替过去将来时，而其他A、B、C则不可以。答案为D。

　　45.这句话意思为：因为Andy三天后就要离开，他不浪费一点时间。A项take time“不紧不慢”；B项have time“有时间”；D项find time“找时间”，均不正确。答案为C。

　　46.Andy这样想时他还在西班牙，指的是从他的国家再次来到西班牙，故用come back。答案为D。

　　47.此处副词应修饰动词arrived，只能是“来得快”故用quickly。A项shortly“不久以后”；B项badly“严重地，恶劣地”；D项early“早的”，均不符合题意。答案为B。

　　48.从上句中他提前到达，表明Andy不喜欢“匆忙”，A、B不合语意，应排除，delay是“耽搁，推迟”并不能在文中体现。答案为C。

　　49.句意为让the clerk看他的票，他已有票，buy(买)order(定)不合题意，provide是“提供”，他并不是把票让给the clerk，故用present“向……显示……之意”。答案为B。

　　50.很容易看出，由于Andy的票已过期了，他却要找那架已飞走的飞机，他当然是astonished(惊奇的)故用with astonishment。答案为A。

　　51.应用时间状语，因为句意是说明时间。答案为D。

　　52.B意为“道歉”，不合题意，C为回答，而后边“Will I have…”是问句，用“回答”不合适，同样D为“要求”，而前边“But I confirmed…”是叙述不合适。答案为A。

　　53.look是“神色”的意思。这儿指的是他吃惊的神色。A项experience“经历，经验”；B项expression“表达”；D项face，均不符合。答案为C。

　　54.我们已知Andy不想离开Spain，当他得知他还有三天时间时，当然高兴。答案为A。

　　55.

　　plan是计划，而这一切在计划之外，是突发状况，flight是指乘飞机的旅程journey

　　指陆上的旅行，而Andy由于耽误了飞机，要在Spain呆上三天，不能说旅程，只能用vacation。答案为D。
