解析
小题1:解析：选B。联系第一句中的I have really changed以及下文的例子可知作者是先为别人考虑，再考虑自己。即在为自己考虑前，先考虑的是别人，故用before。
小题2:解析：选C。联系第一句中的I have really changed 以及下文作者由独自一人到交了朋友，由以自我为中心，到变成了一个帮助别人的人，可知作者发生了很大变化，因此可知作者很高兴自己变成了一个和以前不一样的人，故用different。famous“著名的；出名的”，simple“简单的；朴素的”，skilled“有技能的；熟练的”，均与语境不符。
小题3:解析：选D。联系第一句中的changed以及下文所描述的作者发生的变化，可知作者的“变化”开始于上大学时。
小题4:解析：选C。因为作者是在大学里，她想得到的当然是学位。balance“平衡”，homework“家庭作业”，interest“兴趣，爱好”，均与语境不符。
小题5:解析：选A。联系39空后的be left alone，以及41空后的“除了我似乎别人都交了朋友，都过得很愉快”，可知作者独自一人，几乎不跟别人“说话”。
小题6:解析：选B。联系此空后的“除了我，似乎别人都交了朋友，都过得很愉快”，可知作者确实很孤独，没有人与她交往。careful“仔细的；细心的”，curious“好奇的”，guilty“内疚的；有罪的”，均与语境不符。
小题7:解析：选C。联系空后的“我”开始问周围的人过得怎么样，问他们是否需要帮助，可知作者在试着与别人交流。experiment 在本句中意为“尝试”。argument“争论；辩论”，game“游戏”，defence“防御；护卫”，均与语境不符。
小题8:解析：选B。联系空格前的trouble以及空格后的help，可知作者问别人是否有麻烦，然后“主动提供”帮助。
小题9:解析：选D。联系以前作者不与人说话，宁愿独处，现在开始主动与别人交流并想提供帮助，可知这样做对作者来说已经是迈出了一大“步”。
小题10:解析：选C。联系空格前的several new friends可知作者的两个最好的朋友就在“several new friends”之中，空格处为避免重复，用代词them“他们”代替“several new friends”。
小题11:解析：选A。联系上文的描述，作者主动与人沟通，主动帮助别人，这些显示的都是作者对人、对事的“态度”发生了变化，故此空用attitude。
小题12:解析：选A。联系下文的she thought I was her daughter 可知老太太把作者当成了自己的女儿，可推测作者与这位老太太成了“朋友”。partner “伙伴”，guide“向导”，guest“客人”，均与语境不符。
小题13:解析：选B。联系空格后老太太认为作者是自己的女儿，可知见到作者就很“高兴”。
小题14:解析：选C。联系空格后的“I took her place”可知老太太的亲生女儿从没来“看过”她，visit“拜访”符合语境。
小题15:解析：选D。联系空格后作者的感受“使别人感觉好也就是使自己感觉好”可知这是作者通过这次经历“明白”的一个道理，故用see。本题考查的是熟词新义，see在句中意为“明白”。其他三个选项，explain“解释”，guess “猜”，declare“宣布”，均与语境不符。
小题16:解析：选B。老太太去世，作者肯定会感到很伤心，故选heartbroken“心碎的”。其他三个选项，homeless“无家可归的”，badtempered“坏脾气的”，hopeless“无望的”，均与语境不符。
小题17:解析：选C。联系作者在上文的描述，自己交了朋友，也帮助别人，可知作者感觉自己比以前“好”多了。
小题18:解析：选A。作者希望自己不会“忘记”这些经历。其余选项，face“面对”，improve“提高”，analyze“对……进行分析”，均与语境不符。
小题19:解析：选D。这些经历“教会”了作者要更多地关心别人，而不是自己。force“强迫”，prefer“偏爱”，order“命令”，均与语境不符。
小题20:解析：选B。联系第一段中的“I am happy that I am becoming a different person.”可知作者很“喜欢”现在的自己。miss “思念；错过”，wonder“困惑；想知道”，expect“期待；预计”，均与语境不符。
核心考点
试题【(2013·高考山东卷)I used to be a very selfcentered person，but in the past two years I】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
It’s fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的)．To be safe，I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
小题1:According to the author，why are bicycles still popular in China today?
| A．Because they are traditional and safe. |
| B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive. |
| C．Because they are colorful and available. |
| D．Because they are fast and environment friendly. |
| A．to ride it for fun |
| B．to use it for transport |
| C．to experience local culture |
| D．to improve his riding skills |
| A．It was boring. | B．It was difficult. |
| C．It was lively. | D．It was wonderful. |
| A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills. |
| B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding. |
| C．The author was praised by the other bikers. |
| D．The author took great pleasure in biking. |
When I was thirteen years old，I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley，wellequipped with pens，a diary，and a camera.During the trip，I was busy recording every incident，name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively，dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there，I wandered out of my tent，diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon，and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...
At that point，I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now，I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books，or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures，but not very often－only of objects I find really beautiful.I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera，busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places；maybe I’ll forget certain facts，but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don’t live to make memories－I just live，and the memories form themselves.
小题1:Before the age of thirteen，the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.
| A．observing her school routine |
| B．expressing her satisfaction |
| C．impressing her classmates |
| D．preserving her history |
| A．A dull night on the journey. |
| B．The beauty of the great valley. |

| D．Her concerns for future generations. |
| A．Notes and beautiful pictures. |
| B．Special thoughts and feelings. |
| C．Detailed accounts of daily activities. |
| D．Descriptions of unforgettable events. |
| A．to experience it |
| B．to live the present in the future |
| C．to make memories |
| D．to give accurate representations of it |
Sophia told us that MakeAWish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980.“It’s a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious illnesses.MakeAWish helps children feel happy even though they are sick，by making their wishes and dreams come true，”Sophia explained.
We asked Sophia how MakeAWish had first started.She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman.Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris’s dream come true－so，with everybody’s help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a“policeman”for a day.“When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of MakeAWish，”explained Sophia.
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special，happy time.A MakeAWish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world.Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true.They do this either by providing things that are necessary，or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.

I first read about CRM in 1980.Not long after that，an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather.The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready.The attending doctor was flying；I was safety pilot.He was so busy because of the bad turn，he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down.He was a better pilot－and my boss － so it felt unusual to speak up.But I had to：Our lives were in danger.I put aside my uneasiness and said，“We need to put the landing gear down now！” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM，and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up.It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite，the doctor doesn’t overreact，which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.So when I’m in the operating room，I ask for ideas and help from others.Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up.But I hope that if I continue to encourage them，someday someone will keep me from “landing_gear_up”．

| A．following flying requirements |
| B．overreacting to different opinions |
| C．listening to what fellow doctors say |
| D．making a mistake that may cost lives |
| A．CRM：A New Way to Make Flying Safe |
| B．Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor |
| C．The Making of a Good Pilot |
| D．A PilotTumed Doctor |
On April 22,2011，we decided to go green every single day for an entire year.This meant doing 365 different green things，and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things.Rather than recycle and reduce our energy，we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year，Our Green Year started.My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment.We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
Over the course of Our Green Year，we completely changed our lifestyles.We now shop at organic(有机的)stores.We consume less meat，choosing green food.We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need.We have given away half of what we owned through websites.Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice，with no chemical cleaners.We make our own butter，enjoying the smell of homemade fresh bread.In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year.We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others.We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.
