【1】

句意：我為什么是不一樣的？

weak弱的；sick生病的；terrible糟糕的；different不同的。根據(jù)“Jayce Crowder began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from his classmates.”可知杰斯在他讀幼兒園時(shí)就意識(shí)到自己和別人不同，所以才會(huì)有“自己為何會(huì)與別人不同”的疑問(wèn)。故選D。

【2】

句意：當(dāng)她自己從未找到這些答案時(shí)，她怎么能為她兒子的問(wèn)題提供答案呢？

avoid避免；choose選擇；provide提供；prepare準(zhǔn)備。根據(jù)“He would return to their home with questions: Why am I different? Why me? Why?”可知，杰斯對(duì)自己有天生缺陷的事存有疑惑，身為母親的露易絲當(dāng)然希望自己能為兒子提供答案。故選C。

【3】

句意：幾周后，露易絲下班回家，打開電視看了一個(gè)關(guān)于一名來(lái)自華盛頓的六英尺三英寸八年級(jí)學(xué)生的新聞故事，14歲的特肖恩·威利斯在上傳了他的扣籃視頻后成名，就像杰茜一樣，他的左臂大部分都不見了。

opened up打開；turned on打開（水龍頭、電視、收音機(jī)、燈等）；looked at看；picked up撿起。本題考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)的辨析，露易絲是打開并且看電視了才會(huì)知道關(guān)于特肖恩的新聞故事，所以從意思搭配上就可以排除D；“看電視”的動(dòng)詞搭配通常使用“watch”，而不用“look at”，排除C；“open up”的打開是指瓶子，盒子，包裹，信封等的打開，而“turn on”是指水龍頭，電視，收音機(jī)等的打開，本題是電視機(jī)的打開，應(yīng)用“turn on”。故選B。

【4】

句意：幾周后，露易絲下班回家，打開電視看了一個(gè)關(guān)于一名來(lái)自華盛頓的六英尺三英寸八年級(jí)學(xué)生的新聞故事，14歲的特肖恩·威利斯在上傳了他的扣籃視頻后成名，就像杰茜一樣，他的左臂大部分都不見了。

near接近，靠近；with和……一起，用；like像；from來(lái)自。根據(jù)“…h(huán)e was missing most of his left arm.”可知，特肖恩也喪失了大部分的左臂，所以他和杰斯獨(dú)臂的缺陷很像。故選C。

【5】

句意：當(dāng)時(shí)，看到特肖恩對(duì)杰斯來(lái)說(shuō)似乎會(huì)是一個(gè)鼓舞人心的時(shí)刻——他會(huì)看到一個(gè)和他一樣具有類似出生缺陷的榜樣。

watching看；meeting遇見，見面；copying復(fù)制；joining參加。根據(jù)“Lewis called Jayce in. He was fascinated”可知，露易絲讓杰斯進(jìn)來(lái)看新聞故事時(shí)他就被特肖恩迷住了，而杰斯是收到鼓舞才被迷住的，所以看到特肖恩對(duì)杰斯來(lái)說(shuō)會(huì)是令他受鼓舞的時(shí)刻。故選A。

【6】

句意：一位親友請(qǐng)求報(bào)社的幫忙，安排一場(chǎng)和特肖恩的見面來(lái)幫助杰斯建立自信。

friendship友誼；support支持；relationship關(guān)系；confidence自信。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“He told Jayce he was perfect. He said not to let anyone's words…h(huán)is confidence.”可知，特肖恩告訴杰斯他很完美，不要讓其他人的話語(yǔ)動(dòng)搖他的自信心，所以安排和特肖恩見面就是為了要重建杰斯的自信心。故選D。

【7】

句意：特肖恩一度非常認(rèn)真對(duì)待杰斯。

mad瘋狂的，生氣的；serious認(rèn)真的，嚴(yán)肅的；funny有趣的，好笑的。根據(jù)“They rode bikes around the school's hallways…”和“He told Jayce he was perfect. He said not to let anyone's words … his confidence.”可知，特肖恩和杰斯見面后，他們先是一起玩游戲，然后特肖恩再和杰斯談話，讓他重建信心。與前面一起玩耍相比，后面的談話特肖恩是比較“認(rèn)真的”。故選B。

【8】

句意：他說(shuō)不要讓任何人的話語(yǔ)動(dòng)搖的你自信心。

shake動(dòng)搖，搖頭；show展示；save拯救，節(jié)約；shape塑造。根據(jù)“He told Jayce he was perfect.”可知，特肖恩告訴杰斯他是完美的，就是要讓他自信并且不要受他人影響而動(dòng)搖自信心。故選A。

【9】

句意：他最近開始摔跤并且愛上這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。

certainly肯定地，當(dāng)然；recently最近；rapidly快速地；secretly秘密地，私下地。根據(jù)“Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a big difference in her son…”可知，與特肖恩見面后杰斯才有了大轉(zhuǎn)變，所以參加并且愛上摔跤這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)是最近開始的。故選B。

【10】

句意：露易絲認(rèn)為這是受特肖恩的影響。

decision決定；experience經(jīng)驗(yàn)，經(jīng)歷；position位置；influence影響。根據(jù)“Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a big difference in her son…”可知，在與特肖恩見面后杰斯有了大轉(zhuǎn)變，所以露易絲認(rèn)為是受特肖恩的影響。故選D。

完形填空小題類型主要有：根據(jù)上下文邏輯選填，語(yǔ)法和詞法選填，常識(shí)等。期中最常見也考的最多的第一種解題步驟如下：第一遍通讀全文。第二遍帶著選項(xiàng)試填，大部分小題的解答提示都在該題前后的幾句，比如小題10，解答提示在該題的前兩句找到，即“Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a big difference…”，再通過(guò)邏輯推理可知杰斯發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變是受特肖恩的影響，所以小題10的答案為“influence”；再另有一部分是需要根據(jù)全文的主旨進(jìn)行選填的，這就需要我們第一遍讀時(shí)掌握文章的中心大意，比如小題4，該題后句提示特肖恩失去大部分的左臂，通讀全文也可知杰斯有獨(dú)臂缺陷，所以他兩有類似的缺項(xiàng)，所以該題要填“like”。第三遍如果時(shí)間充足，帶著選項(xiàng)通讀全文，檢查填完后的文章邏輯表達(dá)是否準(zhǔn)確、合理、通順。
