Question

【題目】 Jayce began notice when he started his schooling that he looked different from his classmates. They had two arms. He had one.

It started when one boy laughed at him, said his mother, Lewis. He’d return to his home with questions: “Why am I _______? Why me? His mother still remembered he was actually sad and angry with that.

Lewis said she didn’t know what to do at that point. A few weeks later, Lewis turned on the TV to a news story about an eighth grader, Trashaun, becoming popular after sharing videos of his slam dunks(灌籃) on the Internet, and, like Jayce, he _______ most of his left arm. Lewis called Jayce in. To her surprise, Jayce immediately got interested in the videos. At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun was _______ an encouraging moment for Jayce — he saw a role model with a similar _______. If it had stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy enough. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to build Jayce’s confidence.

The boys met and at once got on well with each other as both of them were in the same condition. They rode bikes, took photos, and shot basketball on the court. Instead of spending the whole day feeling _______ for themselves, they had a lot of fun. Sometimes, they talked about the problem — the lost left arm. Trashaun told Jayce not to let anyone discourage him and not to let those words shake his _________.

Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a noticeable change in her son. As for Trashaun, his relationship with Jayce made him expect to help more kids. “Honestly, it _______ a lot to know that I changed Jayce’s life”, Trashaun says. Still, he never dreamed that his _______ would make such a great difference in others “l(fā)ife”. I just thought my friends would see them, and be like, “Oh, he dunked it!”

He certainly did.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，講述了同樣失去左臂的特拉肖恩在網(wǎng)上發(fā)布的視頻是如何鼓舞了賈伊斯，使他重拾信心的。

【1】句意：我為什么會(huì)與眾不同？

考查形容詞。lonely孤獨(dú)的；silly愚蠢的；different不同的；ordinary普通的。根據(jù)上文Jayce began notice when he started his schooling that he looked different from his classmates. They had two arms. He had one可知，賈伊斯發(fā)現(xiàn)自己與其他同學(xué)不太一樣，因?yàn)樗麄冇袃芍皇�，而他只有一只�?/span>C選項(xiàng)different符合句意，故選C。

【2】句意：和賈伊斯一樣，他失去了大部分左臂。

考查動(dòng)詞。lost失去；hurt受傷；used使用；recovered康復(fù)。根據(jù)本句like Jayce提示，特拉肖恩也失去了左臂。A選項(xiàng)lost符合句意，故選A。

【3】句意：看著特拉肖恩（的視頻）對(duì)賈伊斯來(lái)說(shuō)似乎僅僅只是一個(gè)令人鼓舞的時(shí)刻。

考查副詞。hardly幾乎不；simply僅僅；still仍然；never絕不。根據(jù)下文If it had stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy enough … a family friend had already reached out to the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to build Jayce’s confidence可知，如果只是一直（看特拉肖恩的視頻）下去，劉易斯就已經(jīng)很高興了，但一個(gè)朋友卻更進(jìn)一步，打算讓特拉肖恩和賈伊斯見面，幫后者重新建立信心，而不只是通過看視頻來(lái)獲得鼓舞。故空格處應(yīng)填入意為“僅僅”的副詞。B選項(xiàng)simply符合句意，故選B。

【4】句意：他看到了一個(gè)有著相似問題的榜樣。

考查名詞。answer回答；family家庭；education教育；problem問題。根據(jù)句中similar提示，特拉肖恩和賈伊斯之間的共同問題都是失去了左臂。故空格處應(yīng)填入意為“問題”的名詞。D選項(xiàng)problem符合句意，故選D。

【5】句意：他們沒有整天為自己感到難過，反而玩得很開心。

考查形容詞。happy快樂的；helpful有益的；sorry遺憾的；fearful可怕的。根據(jù)句中they had a lot of fun提示，他們玩得很開心，并沒有為自己失去左臂而感到難過。故空格處應(yīng)填入意為“遺憾的、難過的”形容詞。C選項(xiàng)sorry符合句意，故選C。

【6】句意：也不要讓那些話動(dòng)搖他的信心。

考查名詞。confidence信心；patience耐心；sadness悲傷；honesty誠(chéng)實(shí)。根據(jù)上文可知，賈伊斯因?yàn)闆]有左臂一直沒有信心，故本句意為“也不要讓那些話動(dòng)搖他的信心”。故空格處應(yīng)填入意為“信心”的名詞。A選項(xiàng)confidence符合句意，故選A。

【7】句意：老實(shí)說(shuō)，我改變了賈伊斯的生活，這對(duì)我意義重大。

考查動(dòng)詞。cares關(guān)心；means意味著；saves節(jié)��；takes花費(fèi)。根據(jù)下文可知，特拉肖恩做夢(mèng)也沒想到自己的視頻會(huì)給別人的人生帶來(lái)如此大的改變，故本句意為“我改變了賈伊斯的生活，這對(duì)我意義重大”。故空格處應(yīng)填入意為“意味著”的動(dòng)詞。B選項(xiàng)means符合句意，故選B。

【8】句意：他做夢(mèng)也沒想到自己的視頻會(huì)給別人的人生帶來(lái)如此大的改變。

考查名詞。attitudes態(tài)度；disabilities缺陷；words話語(yǔ)；videos視頻。根據(jù)上文可知，賈伊斯看到了特拉肖恩的視頻，很受鼓舞，故本句句意為“他做夢(mèng)也沒想到自己的視頻會(huì)給別人的人生帶來(lái)如此大的改變”。空格處應(yīng)填入意為“視頻”的名詞。D選項(xiàng)videos符合句意，故選D。
