　　文章大意：本文是夹叙夹议的文章。因为无意中自己的一句表扬的话语竟然改变了一个孩子，所以请不要吝啬你的鼓励的语言。

　　1.A.cleaner　　　　　　 B.reporter

　　C.monitor D.teacher

　　答案：D　由空后的I gave an honest account of the students' work可知，我是老师，故D项正确。

　　2.A.Or B.And

　　C.But D.So

　　3.A.courage B.abilities

　　C.feelings D.dream

　　答案：B　上一句提到他几乎是用成年人的理解来讨论成年人的话题，所以，他的作业反映不出的应该是他的能力，故ability(能力)符合语境，B项正确。

　　4.A.desperate B.responsible

　　C.unprepared D.unsuitable

　　答案：C　上一句提到当西蒙的妈妈进入房间时，我的手掌出汗了。当她亲吻我的两颊时，是我意想不到的事情，也就是我完全没有做好准备。desperate绝望的，不顾一切的;responsible负责任的;unprepared没做好准备的;unsuitable不合适的。由语境可知C项正确。

　　6.A.loved B.envied

　　C.pleased D.criticized

　　答案：C　由语境可知，此处表示第一次在他人生的前12年里，他近来在朋友家里呆了一下午。gradually逐渐地;constantly 经常地;recently近来，最近;obviously显而易见地。由语境可知C项正确。

　　8.A.self­respect B.self­doubt

　　C.self­pity D.self­defense

　　答案：A　由前后语境可知，西蒙妈妈感激我的是我培养了孩子的自尊(self­respect)而不是self­doubt(自我怀疑)，self­pity(自怜)，self­defense(自卫)，故 A项正确。

　　10.A.also B.even

　　C.always D.still

　　14.A.lucky B.lonely

　　C.only D.likely

　　答案：C　前一句提到，西蒙是这方面的专家，你只要让他信服就好了;也就是说，他是唯一一个你得使其信服的人，故选only，而非lucky幸运的，lonely孤独的与likely可能的。

　　C.shouted D.quarreled

　　答案：B　这就是西蒙变化的转折点。他坐得更直了，注意力更集中了，微笑更多了，变得快乐了。与 sit up straighter, pay more attention，become happy并列的只能是smile，而非sleep(睡觉)，shout(大声喊), quarrel(吵架)，故B项正确。

　　17.A.intended B.pretended

　　C.refused D.happened
