解析
小题1:答案：B 句意：我已经开始在考虑自己之前先考虑别人了。根据第一句可知，我过去是一个以自我为中心的人，但是我改变了。由此推断出此处表达“在考虑自己之前”，用before引导时间状语从句。
小题2:答案：C 作者由一个以自我为中心的人变为替别人着想的人，由此可知她正在变成一个不同的人，故选C项。famous著名的；simple简单的；different不同的；skilled技术熟练的。
小题3:答案：D 根据文章第一句话中的I have really changed可知此处表达“我的改变开始于我在Palomar大学期间”，故选D项。
小题4:答案：C 句意：开始我只是想获得自己的学位，不要别人理我。根据上句中的Palomar College可知作者上大学的目的就是为了获得学位(degree)。
小题5:答案：A 根据上一空后的be left alone可知，作者从来没有和班上的同学说过话，故选A项。
小题6:答案：B 句意：到第一学期结束时，我真的非常孤独了。根据前文的讲述可知现在作者很孤独。careful仔细的；lonely孤独的；curious好奇的；guilty内疚的，故选B项。
小题7:答案：C 句意：于是我做了一个尝试。根据后面的描述推断，此处表达作者为了改变自己现在的情况做某种尝试。故选C项。
小题8:答案：B 句意：……如果他们正有困难我主动帮助。dare to do sth.敢做某事；offer to do sth.主动、乐意做某事；hesitate to do sth.犹豫做某事；happen to do sth.碰巧做某事。故选B项。
小题9:答案：D 根据上文描述可知这对作者来说是迈出了一大步。dream梦、梦想；problem问题；duty职责、义务；step步子、(过程中的)一步。故选D项。
小题10:答案：C 根据语境可知此处表达：他们中的两个。排除A、B两项；根据连词and可知此处不是定语从句，故排除D项。
小题11:答案：A 句意：然而，我态度改变的更重要的原因发生在我在Vista疗养院做兼职时。attitude态度；hobby嗜好、业余爱好；hope希望；luck运气。根据前文的前后改变，可以推断出此处表达：我的态度的改变，故选A项。
小题12:答案：A 根据后文的描述：老太太把我当成了她的女儿，我每次去看她，她都很高兴。由此推断老太太成了作者的朋友。故选A项。
小题13:答案：B 根据空格后的：因为她认为我是她女儿。因此作者每次去她的房间她都很高兴。故选B项。
小题14:答案：C 句意：她真正的女儿从来没有来看望过她，于是我就顶替了她女儿的位置。故选C项。
小题15:答案：D 句意：她让我明白了让别人感到幸福也能让自己感到幸福。explain解释；guess猜测；declare宣布；see看见，领会，明白。故选D项。

Historically，work has been associated with slavery and sin (罪恶)and punishment.And in our own day we are used to bearing traditional complaints.Against this background，it may well come as a surprise to learn that not only psychologists but other behavioral scientists have come to accept the positive contribution of work to the individual"s happiness and sense of personal achievement.Work is more than a necessity for most human beings；it is the focus of their lives，the source of their identity and creativity.
Rather than a punishment of a burden，work is the opportunity to realize one"s potential.And the opposite is true，too.For large numbers of people，the absence of work is harmful to their health.Retirement often brings many problems surrounding the “What do I do with myself？”question，even though there may be no financial cares.Large numbers of people regularly get headaches and other illnesses on weekends when they don"t have their jobs to go to，and must take care of themselves.It has been observed that unemployment，quite apart from financial pressures，brings enormous psychological troubles and that many individuals"conditions become worse rapidly when jobless.
But why？Why should work be such a significant source of human satisfaction？A good share of the answer rests in the kind of pride that is stimulated by the job，by the activity of accomplishing.

I imagined being signed by some famous model companies.For months，any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be real model.I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!
Of course，I wasn"t signed，but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5′9″(about 1.75 metres) I could be a success.I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream.I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes.$500 for a photo shoot，and $300 for other expenses.My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.
The agency sent me out on a few auditions，but with every day I didn"t receive a call，I grew more depressed.The_final_straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling.There was an open call in New York City.We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting，only to be told that I was too short.I was devastated (极度不安的)．
Years later，I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn"t actually love modeling，just the idea of it.I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal.The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.

| C．Even a local modeling agency turned her down. |
| D．She realized that she didn"t actually love the idea of modeling. |
| A．the last in a series of bad things that happen to make someone very upset，angry，etc... |
| B．the final result that she was admitted by the model company. |
| C．the final audition given by the agency. |
| D．the decision that she made at last not to be a model any more. |
| A．Where there"s a will there"s way. |
| B．Being a model is not that easy. |
| C．We should have our own judgement and should not just follow others. |
| D．We might set unpractical goals but the experience can help us grow. |
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur(激励) action. Now, a decade from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make choices — education, career, lifestyle — life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is in progress, but aren’t taught how to pursue a happy, healthy or sustainable(可持续的) way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was ideal and innocent.
Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change.
小题1:The purpose of what the writer said at the age of 12 was to _____.
| A．end poverty and make school beautiful |
| B．find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselves |
| C．end poverty and solve the problems about environment |
| D．find a wonderful place and clean it up |
| A．a long period of laughing |
| B．a warm welcome |
| C．an expression used for greeting |
| D．a long period of clapping and applause |
| A．in his teens |
| B．in his twenties |
| C．in his thirties |
| D．in his forties |
| A．the writer thinks what he thought at the age of 12 is mature. |
| B．the writer’s children will certainly live in an ideal environment. |
| C．the writer’s confidence in the people in power has deeply shaken their voice. |
| D．the writer’s belief does not change when he grows up. |
Several days later I was still about the hitchhiker (搭便车的人), about how I didn’t even lift my foot the accelerator (加速踏板) for him. “Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line—”I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Was that these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey the US without any money, just on the good will of others. What would happen? Would he find food, shelter and support?
The idea intrigued (激起兴趣) me.
The week I 37, I realized that I had never done something truly crazy. I decided to really do it: travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. I would only accept of rides, food and places to sleep. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly I went. I was by people’s readiness to help a stranger.
In Oregon, a house painter named Mike the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I refused, but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the to give often gave the most.
I’m to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was . I was proud to live in a country where people were still willing to help. In spite of everything, you can still depend on the of strangers.
