题型：不详难度：来源：
When I took the first exam, I was ____ to find a 77, Cplus, on my test paper, ____ English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained ____.
I decided to try harder, although I didn"t know what that ____ because study had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I ____ with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn"t change his ____.
One more test before the final exam. One more ___ to improve my grades. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, ____ the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my ____ did no good and everything ____ as before.
The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what ____ I got, it wouldn"t cancel Cpluses. I might as well kiss the ___ goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even ___ myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once not to ____ much about the result of the test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne"s office. He ____ to be expecting me. “If I had given you the Apluses you ____， you wouldn"t have continued to work as hard.”
I stared at him, ____ that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head ____， as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived：Aplus. It was the only Aplus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I"ve always remembered Professor Jayne"s lesson：you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

解析
小题1:答案：A 作者一直是全优生，相信自己可以修(take)难的课程，真正学点儿东西。
小题2:答案：B 作者对Jayne教授在课堂上陈述(presented)的观点非常感兴趣。A项表示“寻找”，C项表示“交换”，D项表示“获得”，都不符合语境。
小题3:答案：A 第一次考试作者只得了77分，自然感到震惊(shocked)。
小题4:答案：C 结合空前内容可知，这里作者之所以惊讶是因为(for)英语是作者最好的科目。
小题5:答案：D 作者去找Jayne教授，但是任凭作者如何争辩，他都无动于衷(unmoved)。
小题6:答案：B 作者决定更加努力，虽然作者不知道那意味着(meant)什么，因为学习对作者而言一直非常轻松。
小题7:答案：B 作者更加努力学习后，不曾想成绩依然是77分，于是再次与Jayne教授理论。reason with sb.表示“与某人讲道理”。
小题8:答案：B 教授耐心倾听，但是不肯改变主意，故用mind。
小题9:答案：C 在期末考试前还有一次考试，这是提高成绩的又一次机会(chance)。
小题10:答案：D 作者加倍努力，第一次明白了“thorough”这一词的含义。learn在这里表示“明白，意识到，认识到”。
小题11:答案：C 此处与上一句中的efforts相呼应，表示作者的努力(efforts)没有得到相应的回报。
小题12:答案：B 虽然作者加倍努力，然而成绩不见起色，一切如旧。此处go意为“(事情)进展，进行”。
小题13:答案：A 作者根据自己前几次的考试经历认定，无论自己在期末考试中考出什么样的成绩(grade)，仍然取消不了之前的C＋。9空后的grades也是提示。
小题14:答案：A 第一段第一句提到作者想获得奖学金，可接连几次的考试成绩都不理想，所以作者认为他要和奖学金(scholarship)说拜拜了。
小题15:答案：C 作者不再努力学习，在期末考试的前夜，甚至请自己看了一场电影。treat sb. to...表示“请某人……”。
小题16:答案：A 第二天，作者决定这一次不那么看重考试结果。care much about“很看重”。
小题17:答案：D 根据下文的内容可知，过去的一切都是教授精心安排的，所以他似乎(seemed)在等着作者去找他。
小题18:答案：C 教授解释说，如果他给了作者期望(expected)得到的A＋，作者就不会继续如此努力了。
小题19:答案：D 作者凝视着教授，意识到(realizing)他的分析和策略是正确的。
小题20:答案：D work one"s head off表示“不断工作，拼命干活”，此处可理解为“拼命学习”。

It"s a library built with love.
A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsinbased nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That"s what we"re going to do for our spring break！”
Son Austin, now a 10thgrader, didn"t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51yearold owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he"d built years earlier for daughter Abbie"s toy horses, and made a door of glass.
After adding the library"s final touches(装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they"d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids" favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said Janey, a stayathome mom.
Since then, the collection keeps replenishing(补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project"s best payoff, says Peter, are the thankyou notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”
小题1:In what way is the library “pedestrianfriendly”？
| A．It owns a yellow roof. |
| B．It stands near a sidewalk. |
| C．It protects book lovers from the sun. |
| D．It uses palmtree stickers as decorations. |
| A．a visit to Brian Williams |
| B．a spring break with her family |
| C．a book sent by one of her neighbors |
| D．a report on a Wisconsinbased organization |
| A．by a ship supply company |
| B．on the basis of toy horses |
| C．like a mailbox |
| D．with glass |
| A．It was made by a user of the library. |
| B．It marked a final touch to the library. |
| C．It aimed at making the library last long. |
| D．It indicated the library was a family property. |
| A．donate books to the library |
| B．get paid to collect books for the library |
| C．receive thankyou notes for using the library |
| D．visit the library over 5 times on average daily |
When the ____ started, he went to one end of the tightrope, ____ straight at the goal ahead, with open arms, walking slowly step by step to the opposite side of the mountain. Immediately, the audience ____ loud applause.
“If my hands dare tied, do you believe I can ____？” he asked the audience.

Then, he had his hands tied with a rope and walked past ____.

This time, the people said without ____， “We believe you！”
In this way, his eyes were ____ with a black cloth. He moved slowly to the tightrope and walked along it inch by inch. This time, he went past once again. The audience burst into ____.
Then, he ____ a child and asked all the people, “If I put him on my shoulders ___ I"m blindfolded with my hands tied as well, do you still believe I can make it？”
All the people replied before ____， “We believe you！”
“I ask you again. Do you really believe me？”
“Yes, we believe you completely！”
Then, he said, “Well then, since you believe me, ____ my child with yours. Who will？”
All of a sudden, the audience fell ____. The silence lasted for nearly ten minutes.
After ten minutes, the acrobatic master said nothing, just put the child on his shoulders and walked past along the tightrope. Sure enough, this time he ____ once more.
Faced with things far from their own ____， people can often make judgments easily and quickly, but once involved in(牵涉) it, most of people “cannot ____ it clearly”. Only those who are really confident, like the master in the tightrope walk, can stay ____ at any time.
