可推知D为最佳选项。句意为：别人对你的看法没必要变成你的现实。4.A。下文虽然描述了作者当时的两种感觉：尴尬的与感到心灵得到了解放的（liberating），但后面这种感觉明显占上风，故选A。5.C。被人嘲笑作者当然是感到尴尬了。6.B。这里对应上文的“Someone’sopinionofyoudoesnothavetobecomeyour3.”view与opinion是同义词。7.A。beidentifiedas被确认为；betreatedas被当作……对待；beclassifiedas9\n被分类为；benamedas被命名为。8.D。由上文作者提到的留级以及下文的“ButIfailedEnglishandmathandhistory.I’m12thanmostkids.”可知作者总是失败，并因此而非常不自信，所以答案为D。9.B。从下文可知华盛顿帮助作者扭转了总是失败的情况。10.C。华盛顿先生认为每个人都是有伟大的潜力的，而且每个人都有_____的东西。natural自然的，天生的；common普通的；special与众不同的；pleasant令人愉快的。根据语境可知C为最佳选项。11.B。句意为：如果你能在一段时间里对你自己以及你到底是一个什么样的人有着更大的憧憬，那么在历史发展的进程中，这个世界就将因你而不一样。12.D。结合上文作者有学习困难可知，作者比起正常孩子学东西应该会慢一些，故选D。如果填harder，作者比其他孩子已经更努力了，那么老师下文应该就不会说他应该更努力，所以harder不对。13.A。老师告诉作者成绩不能_____你是一个什么样的人，也不能_____你在你的人生中将能______什么。determine决定，确定；guarantee保证；express表达；admit承认。根据句意可知A为最佳选项。14.C。handle处理；contribute贡献；achieve获得，实现；invent发明，根据句意可知答案为C。15.A。根据语境可知这里表示上演讲与戏剧课。16.D。makearrangements表示“做安排”；makesettlements安定，定居；makeinterviews面试；makeagreements达成协议。17.C。由下文可知，作者只有成为优等生（tobeonthehonorroll）方可参加戏剧系的旅行，作者对这一活动的渴望激励着他努力学习，故选C。academically学业上；particularly尤其；mentally精神上。18.B。对于一个有学习困难的孩子能够在学业成绩优异，这真是____。Luck运气；miracle神奇；power力量；relief宽慰。不难看出B为最佳选项。19.D。由上下文可知作者以前不自信，也屡屡失败，但是华盛顿先生帮助作者重新认识自己，树立信心并取得成功。由下文的“Hegavemealargervisionofmyself”以及空格后的宾语mypicture可知rebuilt为最佳选项。20.C。作者是在克服自己的学习困难的障碍后取得成功的，所以这里要选beyond（越过，超过）。21.A。本题考查细节判断的能力。根据文章第三段的第二句话“Peoplelearnbetteraboutpositivethannegativeoutcomesunderstress.”以及第四段最后一句话“thestressedparticipantsrememberedtherewardedmaterialmoreaccurately…”，因此选择A项。22.A。本题考查细节判断的能力。根据文章第二段“Theresearchsuggeststhatstressmaychangethewaypeoplemakechoicesinpredictableways.”，因此选择A项。23.D。本题考查细节判断的能力。根据文章第七段第一句话“Menwhohadbeenstressedbythecold-watertasktendedtotakemorerisks…”,所以选择D项。24.A。词义猜测题。根据第一段第三句中的“…differentexperience…”以及第一段最后一句中“…mightliveinastableandclosefamilyinthefirstfewyears;anothermightberaisedinafamilycrisis,withadisappointedmotherandangryfather.”可知，该短语意为“生活在不同的家庭环境中”，故A项正确。25.B。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话中“Later-bornsdon’tenjoythatmuch9\ntalkingtimewithparents,butinsteadtheyharvestlessonsfrombiggerbrothersandsister…”可知后出生者更倾向于向兄弟姐妹学习，故B项正确。26.D。细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Eventhosesiblingswhofoughtthemosthadjustasmuchpositivecommunicationastheothersiblingpairs.”可知，即使兄弟姐妹间争吵不断，他们也在此中学习相处之道，故D项正确。27.B。词义猜测题。根据语境可知，有兄弟的女孩比有姐妹的女孩更具有女性品质特征，故B项正确。28.A。本题考查美国农业面临的问题。第一段第二句话“Ithaslittletodowiththeusualchallenges…”中little表达否定含义，所以之后的“Thecountry’sfarmersaregettingolder,andtherearefewerpeoplestandinginlinetotaketheirplace.”才最重要。所以应该选A。29.D。本题考查Merrigan拜访各地大学的原因，其实这正是为解决问题作出的努力之一。第二段第一句的后半部分“…inhopesofencouragingmorestudentstothinkaboutcareersinagriculture”中的inhopeof表达“希望……”所以目的是鼓励更多的学生考虑农业方面的职业，故选D。30.C。本题考查为什么MattRush认为美国农业能给年轻人提供机会。查读MattRush，找到原文：“Itrulybelievewe’reatagoldenageofagriculture.Globaldemandisatanall-timerecordhigh,andglobalsuppliesareatall-timerecordlows,”说明他觉得国际上农业的供给与需求之间有如此大的差距充分说明是投入的大好机会（黄金时代）。虽然下面一句Productioncostsaregoingtobevaluableenough...不太好理解，但是可以肯定和上一句意思一致。可译为：农业生产成本使生产有足够的利益……。据此，只有C项（在农业上的投资会利润丰厚）符合此义。31.C。本题考查难词在文章中的意思。这个词组一定要考虑上下文的联系。Turnaround指“扭转”；statistics是“数据”。那么这个数据指的是文中的哪方面数据呢？注意RyanBest希望通过和高中学生交流让他们考虑农业方面的职业。那如果中学生们能成为农业大军的一分子，明显文章开始提出的问题就会改变，那样的话农民数量增加，平均年龄也会降低，故选C。A错在re-analyze（重新分析），明显不是希望中学生重新分析数据。文章提到的最主要的问题不是增加农业的生产或者投资，所以排除B和D两项。注意近几年高考中考难词也都是和文章中心挂钩的。32-35:DBCA9
