Question

【題目】

Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mum. However, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways. He had a speech problem so he couldn’t ________ like other kids in his grade. I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills.

On the days when it was Ronny’s turn, I gave him a silent smile, and he flew out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that nobody had ever seen. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried his best to read out. Every time he ________ to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with ________.

A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony. I presented Ronny with a book –one of those Little Golden Books that only cost$5. Tears ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went back to his seat. I stayed with the Class for the rest of the day.

Ronny never let go of the book, not once. It never left his hands. A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I ________ Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap（大腿）. His teacher said,“He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. Do you know that’s his first book he’s ever actually owned?”Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked,“Will you read me your book, Ronny?”And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more ________ than I’d ever thought possible from him. The pages were already dog-eared, like the book had been read thousands of times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction,“Good book!”What a powerful contribution（貢獻）the writer of that Little Golden Book had made in the life of a disadvantaged child. At that moment, I knew I would get ________ about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does—care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, care enough to make a difference.

【解析】本文將“我”的班上有一個叫羅尼的有言語障礙的兒童，后來學年結束“我”送他了一本書，這是他唯一的一本書而且他愛不釋手，直到有一天“我”重返校園再次遇見羅尼，他發(fā)現這本書對他產生了如此大的影響，讓他的朗讀清晰了不少，對于這樣一本能夠影響一個兒童一生的書“我”十分贊賞。

【1】句意：他有言語問題，所以他不能像其他年級的孩子一樣朗讀�！皊peech”通常指“演講，說話”，在這方面有問題即說明“他”不能夠向別人一樣朗讀，選項A“寫”，選項B“復制”，選項C“聽”，選項D“讀”，故選D。

【2】句意：每次他用帶有奇怪的發(fā)音成功地讀出一個單詞時…，“manage to do”指“做成某事”，這里想要說的是他每次都成功讀出一個單詞的時候，他就會展露出笑容，“with a strange pronunciation”也說明他是能讀出來的，選項A“拒絕”，選項B“決定”，選項C“做成（某事）”，選項D“假裝”，故選C。

【3】句意：最大的笑容會散布在他的臉上，他的眼睛會自豪地閃耀。這是說他每次設法說出一個單詞后的表現，他微笑了，眼睛里應該是閃爍著驕傲的，選項A“害怕”，選項B“驕傲”，選項C“承諾”，選項D“寂靜”，故選B。

【5】句意：他比我想象的更清楚地給我讀了這本書。這里是想表達“我”的驚喜或意外，他之前有言語障礙，所以讀書不是很清晰，這里是想說羅尼讀書比起“我”所想象的要清楚地多，選項A“寒冷地，冷酷地”，選項B“緩慢地”，選項C“清楚地”，選項D“安靜地”，故選C。

【6】句意：我會擔心自己的寫作，并且做那個作家做的事情。前文提到了“我”對于那本書作者能夠對羅尼產生如此大的影響這件事十分震撼，于是應該是開始擔心自己的作品是否也能一樣改變一個兒童的一生。“get worried about”為“對…擔憂”，選項A“認真的，嚴肅的”，選項B“緊張的”，選項C“擔心的”，選項D“驚訝的”，故選C。
