解析
作者通过一件事情告诉大家勇气和诚实是一个人获得尊重的重要因素。
小题1:答案：B 当老师宣布我们七年级实地考察旅行的目的地是游乐园时，整个教室由于女孩们讨论她们要穿什么衣服和带什么样的东西而充满了兴奋的嗡嗡声。故excitement符合语境，意思是“激动，兴奋”。amazement“吃惊，惊奇”；disappointment“失望”；encouragement“鼓励”，均不符合语境。
小题2:答案：B “我”知道(knowing)“我”的父母没有钱让“我”参加这个活动，“我”只能坐在后面听。
小题3:答案：A 根据空后面的“to feel so leftout”可知，depressed“沮丧的，消沉的”符合语境。
小题4:答案：C Danny只告诉大家他不去了。simply“仅仅，只”，符合语境。
小题5:答案：D 当老师问他为什么不去时，Danny站起来陈述了原因。state的意思是“陈述，说明”，符合语境。
小题6:答案：A 根据文中的“too much money”“My dad hurt his back”以及“I can"t ask my parents for money.”可以判断出Danny的父亲失业(out of work)了。
小题7:答案：C 根据8空后面的“those whispers”可以判断出，此处应用whispering。
小题8:答案：D 根据2空前面的“I sat back”可知，此处应用seat。
小题9:答案：A “Danny，我为你能理解你父母的处境(situation)而感到自豪。并不是每一个像你这么大的学生都有那样的能力。”20空前的situation是提示。
小题10:答案：B 参见上题解析。age“年龄”，符合语境。
小题11:答案：D 虽然(Although)在那天之后，并不是每个人都接纳了Danny。
小题12:答案：C 但他却赢得了我们中许多人的尊重。win over的意思是“获得，赢得”，故答案为C项。win back“重新获得”，win out“摆脱困境”。
小题13:答案：C be impressed by意思是“对……印象深刻”，符合语境。
小题14:答案：B 作者从来没有向他的朋友承认(admit)他没有钱去。
小题15:答案：C 根据上下文内容可知，这里表示“相反”的意思，故答案为C项。
小题16:.答案：D 相反，为了相处融洽，“我”向他们撒谎“我”为什么不能做那些事情，编造一个接一个的借口。fit in“相处融洽，适应”，符合语境。
小题17:答案：A 参见上题解析。come up with意思是“提出，想出”，符合语境。
小题18:答案：B Danny的自信使我们大家更容易(easier)理解……
小题19:答案：C 根据语境可知，他的父母拥有什么或没有什么，这并不能决定(determine)他是谁。
小题20:答案：D 与其说是Danny出色的外表，倒不如说是他的勇气和诚实，使他成为“我”永远无法忘记的人。more...than...的意思是“与其说……倒不如说……”。故答案为D项。 |
举一反三
Have you ever had travel problems because your airplane was late? It is a common problem and it is getting worse. Airport delays make people angry and cost the country billions in lost work time.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the government agency that oversees air travel. They studied the problem of airline delays.
They found eleven major problems and suggested eleven ways to fix them. Some of the problems are caused because different regions of the country do things differently. The regions don"t talk to each other enough. Some of them need new computers.
Also, more planes are flying. A strong economy has more people using airplanes to get around. Airplanes are a form of mass transportation now, like trains and buses were in the past. More planes in the airport cause delays.
The airport in San Francisco is a good example. It is growing fast. Many people go through San Francisco to get to other places around the world. Ron Wilson of the San Francisco International Airport says, “If you"ve got 18 flights that all want to take off at 8：00 am and you"re on the 18th plane in line, you"re going to be 40 minutes late.”
Weather is another main reason for delays. Weather causes about 70% of delays. Fog or freezing rain can cause delays.
The first thing the FAA wants to do is take control away from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad weather. A national center would make decisions on things that affect the whole country. The FAA also wants to put more distance between planes in the sky when the weather is bad. This rule could cause even more delays.
The FAA knows that their solutions will not solve the problems with airport delays. But, they hope to make things better. There are just too many planes, too few traffic controllers, and not enough new technology.
小题1:FAA found that some of the delay problems are caused by ________ between two regions.| A．different languages | | B．technical misunderstanding | | C．misunderstanding of the rules | | D．lack of communication |
小题2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for airline delays?| A．A growing number of flights. | | B．Bad weather. | | C．A growing population. | | D．Lack of new technology |
小题3:From the passage we can infer that ________.| A．FAA is a national center which controls all the flight matters | | B．FAA has taken control to solve airport delays | | C．in San Francisco, each plane will delay about 40 minutes | | D．safety rules during bad weather may cause more delays |
小题4:Which of the statements best gives the idea of the passage?| A．FAA should make decisions to stop airport delays. | | B．Airport delays are on the rise. | | C．Travel problems cost billions in lost work time. | | D．FAA has taken control of air traffic nationwide. |

On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12yearold boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they"d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head，” Tim recalls(回忆)．“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point, I considered turning back，” he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella！”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let"s aim for the pier(码头)，” Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim？” he cried.“A little bit，” the boys said.
Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys" faces.
“Are we almost there？” they asked again and again.“Yes，” Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.
小题1:Why did the two boys go to the sea?| A．To go boat rowing. | | B．To get back their football. | | C．To swim in the open water. | | D．To test the umbrella as a sail. |
小题2:What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?| A．The beach. | B．The water. | | C．The boat. | D．The wind. |
小题3:Why did Tim raise his head regularly?| A．To take in enough fresh air. | | B．To consider turning back or not. | | C．To check his distance from the boys. | | D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella. |
小题4:How did the two boys finally reach the pier?| A．They were dragged to the pier by Tim. | | B．They swam to the pier all by themselves. | | C．They were washed to the pier by the waves. | | D．They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back. |
