【1】

句意：在操場上的高個(gè)子孩子中，她顯得那么矮小。

rude粗魯?shù)模?/span>ugly丑陋的；lazy懶惰的；small小的。so如此，根據(jù)“among the tall kids在高個(gè)子孩子中”，可知small和tall形成對(duì)比，前面三項(xiàng)意思都與句意不合，故選D。

【2】

句意：學(xué)校就在我家的街對(duì)面，我經(jīng)�？吹胶⒆觽冊谡n間玩耍。

along沿著；across橫過/在對(duì)面；above在……上面；behind在……后面。across from在……另一邊，根據(jù)“from my home”可知學(xué)校在我家的街對(duì)面，故選B。

【3】

句意：“沒什么，”女孩柔聲答道。

soft輕柔的；loud大聲的；strong強(qiáng)大的；sweet甜的。根據(jù)上文“I saw her sitting in the grass quietly我看見她靜靜地坐在草地上”，結(jié)合下文女孩的擔(dān)憂，可知后面三項(xiàng)不合語境，應(yīng)該是輕聲回答，故選A。
