　　文章大意：本文主要讲述了“我”作为一位新老师所经历的一件意想不到的事情：一个成绩非常差，书写糟糕的孩子的母亲竟然来感谢我对孩子的教导。感谢“我”给孩子带来的改变，“我”经过一番思索之后才恍然大悟。

　　1.A.cleaner B.reporter

　　C.monitor D.teacher

　　答案：D　词汇复现及逻辑推理题。根据下文中提到的I gave an honest account of the students' work.和后面的描述可知，“我”是一名新老师。

　　2.A.Or B.And

　　C.But D.So

　　答案：C　逻辑推理题。根据上面的叙述the grades were awfully low和He couldn't read his own handwriting可知：他的成绩差并且字也不好看，“但是”他是一个“bright”的学生。由此可知，上下句之间表示转折关系。

　　3.A.courage B.abilities

　　C.feelings D.dream

　　答案：B　逻辑推理题。他很聪明，能用成人的理解力去讨论成人的问题，他的作品(写的字)绝不可能反映出他的能力(ability)。

　　4.A.desperate B.responsible

　　C.unprepared D.unsuitable

　　答案：C　逻辑推理题。前文写到手心都是汗，后文提到Simon妈妈的吻以及感谢，加上第一段描述孩子成绩差，“我”又是个新老师，所以完全没有预料到(unprepared)Simon妈妈竟然是这么热情。

　　5.A.Because of B.In spite of

　　C.Apart from D.As for

　　答案：A　逻辑推理题。前句Simon的妈妈说是来谢谢“我”，而谢谢的原因从后句可以推出来，Simon变得不一样，会交朋友等，这都是由于“我”。 because of由于，因为。

　　6.A.loved B.envied

　　C.pleased D.criticized

　　答案：A　词语辨析题。从前后文语境来看，孩子是喜欢(love)老师的。envy嫉妒;please取悦;criticize批评。

　　C.self­pity D.self­defense

　　答案：A　逻辑推理题。self­respect自尊;self­doubt自我怀疑;self­pity自我怜惜;self­defense自我保护。Simon妈妈是想要告诉老师孩子的改变，此处肯定选择褒义词，表示孩子正在向好的方向发展，A项符合上下文语境。

　　答案：C　逻辑推理题。“我”惊呆了，花了半个小时坐在那边一直在想刚刚发生了什么，事情是不是真的。wonder想知道。

　　答案：B　逻辑推理题。她很困惑在自己是个新老师甚至(even)不了解这个孩子的情况的时候为什么Simon会变化那么大?

　　11.A.expect B.remember

　　C.believe D.accept

　　答案：B　逻辑推理题。前文交代坐在那儿花了半小时的时间在想，后文交代是几个月前的某一天，说明作者是在记起(remember)为什么Simon变化会那么大。

　　17.A.intended B.pretended

　　C.refused D.happened

　　答案：D　逻辑推理题。根据上下文的表述，“我”明白过来根源是碰巧(happen)他坐在最后一排，于是才有了这样的一个故事的发生与转变。

　　18.A.change B.praise

　　C.thanks D.visits
