Question

The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan

     The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often          about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.

     All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who          that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this          girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

     But how could I help her           in with us? There had to be a          .

     One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had           her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)           copy.

      I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming         show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had          . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted         the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough          . Could you help me, Suzy?”

     On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s            were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.

     “And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students           them.”

      I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw         well?”

      Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “          this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a            ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”

      Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.

      I           , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never          anything in her whole life.

      Everyone started to           their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to ne all right.

【解析】

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲了一个非洲来的儿童Suzy被美国家庭收养，为让孩子了解美国生活，他们把孩子送进学校和美国孩子一起学习。但那些美国孩子却经常嘲笑她。一次偶然的机会，“我”发现了她的绘画才能，并把她介绍给艺术老师。艺术老师也认同她的绘画才能，让她帮自己制作才艺秀的海报。在才艺秀结束的时候，校长颁发给Suzy一个特殊的奖项，同学们也认可和接纳了她。

1.A 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。根据语境，这里是说“班里的男孩子会拿她开玩笑，然后就是哄堂大笑。而她也只好眼含泪水地假装看书。”joke about 拿…开玩笑，care about介意，在乎，forget about忘记，worry about为…担忧。

2.B 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。这个非洲孤儿被美国家庭收养，美国家庭决定（认定）和美国孩子在一起才能让她学会美国生活方式。decide这里是认定、断定的意思，report报告、报道，complain抱怨，投诉，question质疑，提问。

3.C 考查形容词词义辨析。根据上文叙述，这个女孩比同龄12岁的孩子都要瘦小，所以“我低头看着这个小小的女孩子，下决心无论如何都要帮助她”。rich富有的，proud骄傲的，popular流行的，受欢迎的。显然都不符合语境。tiny =very small。

4.C 考查动词词义辨析和上下文语境。我打算帮助这个女孩与大家融洽相处。文章标题已给出提示。fit in with适合，与…一致。

5.D 考查名词词义辨析。根据上文决定帮助小女孩与大家一致，必须寻找一个办法/方法。manner做事或行为方式, 多指行动的特殊方式或独特的方法，pattern指模式、花样、图案等，choice指选择，way指方式、方法、手段等，可指一般的方法，有时也指个人的方法或方式。因为这里没有谈到什么方法，所以只能用笼统的方法way。

6.C 考查动词词义辨析和语境。Suzy把书打开到火车图片那里。open…to把…翻到，to是介词，表达“到…地方”。其他均不合适。

7.B 考查形容词词义辨析和上下文语境。她对火车图的复制，效果怎样要看文中第44题后的陈述，“why, it’s wonderful”可知，非常好，与此题选项中的perfect相近。

8.D 考查名词词义辨析和上下文语境。根据后文第45题后的陈述“the talent show”我们知道这是一个才艺秀。

9.D 考查动词词义辨析和语境。根据上文陈述，Suzy在画火车，所以这里应该是“我”把她画的东西展示给艺术老师看。color意思为涂色和染色, write书写，carve雕刻，draw画。

10.C 考查介词。根据文章内容，这里是老师拿出一张“为才艺秀”做的海报。for意为“为…”。

11.B 考查名词词义辨析和语境。由该空前面“more”和空后的”help”两个词可知，老师还需要更多的海报，但老师“没有足够的时间”，所以才请Suzy帮忙制作。

12.D 考查名词词义辨析和上下文语境。上文已谈到，艺术老师想让Suzy帮忙制作一些海报，所以，才艺秀当天应该到处都能看到Suzy制作的海报。

13.A 考查形容词词义辨析。才艺秀当天大家都表演了，还要颁发一个特殊的奖项给制作海报的人，因为制作海报原本不是才艺秀的内容。

14.A 考查动词词义辨析和上下文。文中这句话的意思说“我们一个学生画了这些海报”，除了draw以外，我们还可以使用paint一词，表示绘画。

15.B 考查副词词义。修饰形容词或副词，表示那么，那样，我们一般用so，也可以用that，二者意思相近。that well=so well。

16.D 考查状语从句的连接词和上下文语境。“因为这位同学如此努力地画了这些海报”，所以值得奖励。since=now that/because。

17.A 考查名词词义辨析和语境。因为努力画了这些海报，这位同学值得奖励。prize奖励， rank等级，秩序，rest休息，place地点，位置。

18.B 考查动词词义辨析。该空描写作者的思想活动，是意识到她从来没有拥有过什么，这些成就和别人的承认第一次让她意识到自己的能力和重要。Reply回答，realize意识到，remember回忆，regret后悔，遗憾。

19.C 考查动词词义辨析。因为是外来的移民，没有融入大家的生活中，这次活动让大家看到了她拥有的东西。

20.A 考查动词词义辨析。因为她画得好，得到校长表扬，才能得到大家认可，所以大家为她鼓掌。clap one’s hands鼓掌。
