Question

In the city of Fujisawa, Japan, lives a woman named Atsuko Saeki When she was a teenager, she1of going to the United States. Most of what she knew about American2 was from the textbooks she had read. "I had a3in mind: Daddy watching TV in the living room,Mummy4cakes and their teenage daughter off to the cinema with her boyfriend."
Atsuko5to attend college in California. When she arrived, however, she found it was not her6 world.'"People were struggling with problems and often seemed7," she said. "I felt very alone."
One of her hardest8was physical education. "We played volleyball." she said."The other students were9 it, but I wasn't."
One afternoon, the instructor asked Atsuko to10the ball to her teammates so they could knock it11 the net.No problem for most people, but it terrified Atsuko. She was afraid of losing face12she failed.
A young man on her team13What she was going through." He walked up to me and14 , 'Come on. You can do that'".
"You will never understand how those words of15made me feel…Four words: You can do that I felt like crying with happiness."
She made it through the class. Perhaps she thanked the young man; she is not16 .
Six years have passed. Atsuko is back in Japan, working as a salesclerk. "I have17forgotten the words." she said. "When things are not going so well, I think of them."
She is sure the young man had no idea how much his kindness18to her. "He probably doesn't even remember it," she said. That may be the lesson. Whenever you say something to a person cruel or kind—you have no idea how long the words will19 . She's al1 the way over in Japan, but still she hears those four20words: You can do that.

6.解析：imagine意為“想像，設(shè)想；猜想，推測”，上文講到I had a picture in mind: Daddy watching TV in the living room. Mummy baking cakes and their teenage daughter off to the cinema with her boyfriend. 因此可判斷出實際的情況與她想象的不一樣。describe意為“描述”。create意為“創(chuàng)作，創(chuàng)造”。discover意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)”。
7.解析：tense意為“緊張的”，上文中的People were struggling with problems說明，由于盡力解決問題，他們經(jīng)常似乎處于緊張狀況。cheerful意為“高興的，興致勃勃的，歡樂的，快活的；爽快的”。relaxed意為“放松的”。deserted意為“被放棄的”。

9.解析：be good at意為“擅長于”，指善于做某事。but是并列連詞，表示轉(zhuǎn)折和對比，從but I wasn’t可以看出：其他同學(xué)擅長于打排球，而Atsuko卻在這方面存在困難。be curious about意為“對……好奇”。be slow at意為“在……遲鈍”。be nervous about意為“對……感到緊張”。
10.解析：hit意為“打，擊”，hit the ball表示用手擊球。上文中的We played volley ball表明他們在打排球，所以要用手擊球。kick the ball意為“踢球”，pass the ball意為“傳球”，carry the ball意為“帶球”，都不符合打排球的比賽規(guī)則。

16.解析：sure意為“深信，確信”。上文講述了在一次排球比賽中，一位年輕人鼓勵A(yù)tsuko努力去做，You can do that.使她增強了信心，體育課程取得了成績。所以這里講到她或許應(yīng)該謝謝這個年輕人，但心中沒有把握，不知道該不該這樣做。interested意為“感興趣”。doubtful意為“懷疑的”。puzzled意為“感到迷惑不解的”。
