“Two books per visit per week，〞said the unsmiling librarian as she handed a library card.Neither the limits nor her attitude __1__ me，a 9­year­old Jewish girl growing up in Berlin in the 1950s.I needed those visits.The books were filled with stories in which，however __2__ things seemed，everything __3__ well in the end，__4__ justice，bravery，and wisdom－a striking contrast(比照)to my everyday experiences.
Thirty years later，I，a recent immigrant to the US with a daughter aged 13，stood in front of another librarian.This librarian was __5__.
“What did she say？〞I asked my daughter，who already knew a little English and often __6__ as my interpreter.
“She said，‘Can I help you？’〞
“Ask if they have any books in __7__，〞I requested.
“No，they don’t.〞translated my daughter.
While hunting for a job，I was told that the library needed people to __8__ books.The interview was short－the job didn’t require much English，just a __9__ of the alphabet.I started the next day.Every day，I handled hundreds of books whose meaning was __10__ from me，mentally dividing them by size and color.One day，while shelving，I found English for Beginners11__ English letters started forming words I could __12__，words combined into phrases，and－oh，__13__！—I was reading.It was a slow process，supported by dictionaries and __14__by tears，but it was progress.Afterwards I got promoted to the front desk－__15__books in and out and answering simple questions.
Every day I receive dozens of people.Sometimes I spot new immigrants.They come from all over the world，so they look different，but the hesitant expression on their faces and their __16__ manners are similar.My heart goes out to them，__17__they are people like me.I fully understand the __18__ roads on which they have stepped.“They’ve come to the right place，〞I think to __19__.Then I smile and say—just the __20__ a librarian said to me a long time ago—“Can I help you？〞

But in my opinion that may not be __3__.
Earlier this school year, I was leaving my class one Friday __4__ suddenly it __5__like I had pulled a muscle in my back. I knew I was ill.
After a few days I stopped eating. This meant I lost __6__ ；the clothes that I bought two weeks earlier began __7__ loose. This time my parents got scared.
__8__，I started sleeping less. My eyelids(眼皮)were constantly __9__ .
I refused to __10__ that I was ill. I kept my job working 25 hours a week in
a shop；I didn't __11__ any classes. When I was hurting, I didn't mind and kept on going. __12__ it kills you, it makes you stronger, right?
But now I find myself thinking. Is it __13__ it? I'm taking the classes and working for the newspaper because it does good __14__ college applications. And I'm working 25 hours a week so that，once I get into my dream school，I can __15__ it.

In fact，by writing my __19__ I'm telling all the people who __20__ much about the future to worry about it now.
为了使自己的大学申请表更具吸引力，作者带病学习、工作。

后来作者对这种舍本逐末的做法作出了自我反省。

1．A. makes B. forces
C. causes
D. intends
答案：C。

空处动词和后面的带to的不定式构成搭配，由此可排除A，make后要求跟不带to的不定式作宾补；cause sb. to do sth.“促使某人做某事〞，符合语境；尽管force 可以构成这种复合结构，但“迫使某人有某种想法〞和语境不符合。

2．A. still B. even
C. just
D. yet
答案：B。

上文的school与下文的life之间存在递进关系，应选用even。

3．A. true B. real
C. wrong
D. false
答案：A。

由下文可知，作者认为这种想法不见得是正确的、符合客观实际的。

true表示“符合事实，是真的而不是假的或捏造的〞，real表示“人或事物真实存在的，而不是想象的或虚构的〞。

4．A. while B. when
C. then
D. how
答案：B。

语境“我正要离开教室，恰在此时突然感觉像是背部抽筋了。

〞考查“...be doing sth....when...〞这一典型句式，其中when是并列连词，意为“就在此时(突然)〞，应选B。

5．A. looked B. sounded
C. appeared
D. felt
答案：D。

“我〞突然感觉背上好似抽筋了，feel like固定词组“感觉像，觉得好似是……，想要〞。

6．A. face B. hope
C. weight
D. direction
答案：C。

由上文可知，几天不吃饭“体重〞当然下降。

7．A. hanging B. holding
C. changing
D. dressing
答案：A。

前两周刚买的衣服开始变得宽松。

hang loose固定词组，保持镇静、松驰、放松，在此表示衣服宽大、松弛的样子。

8．A. In fact B. In addition
C. In disorder
D. In general
答案：B。

更糟糕的是，作者开始失眠。

根据篇章结构，此处应为表递进关系的短语。

in addition“另外〞符合行文逻辑；in fact事实上；in disorder混乱；in general通常，一般而言。

9．A. light B. shut
C. open
D. heavy
答案：D。

由常识可知，睡得少会感觉眼皮很重，故用heavy。

10．A. insist B. determine
C. accept
D. consider
答案：C。

“我〞拒绝接受生病的事实，继续长时间地工作和学习。

accept接受；insist 坚持；determine决定；consider考虑。

11．A. lose B. drop
C. give
D. take
答案：B。

“我〞没有旷过任何课。

drop class “旷课〞，符合语境。

C. Though
D. Before
答案：A。

“我〞固执地认为：生活中的磨难如果能置人于死地，它也能使人更坚强。

13．A. paid B. similar to
C. equal to
D. worth
答案：D。

但现在“我〞在思考，这样做“值得〞吗？

C. on
D. with
答案：B。

“我〞如此努力地学习和工作是因为为了让大学申请表看起来更吸引人。

do good to“对……有利〞。

15．A. control B. manage
C. support
D. afford
答案：D。

这样拼命工作，一旦作者上了理想的大学，就能支付得起所需费用。

afford“付得起(……费用)〞。

16．A. amount B. set
C. kind
D. number
答案：A。

我现在因病早已不能做校内外的大量的工作。

the amount of...意为“……的数量〞，这里指“工作的量(大)〞，不可数，因此不能用number。

17．A. suitable B. impressive
C. believable
D. usual
答案：B。

我病得这么重，申请表再吸引人又有什么用呢？impressive“有吸引力的〞，与上文does good前后相照应。

18．A. reason B. idea
C. point
D. tip
答案：C。

如果不能享受结果，“我〞做这些工作又有什么意义呢？point意义，道理；reason原因；idea想法；tip末端，建议。

19．A. time B. work
C. newspaper
D. story
答案：D。

my story在此处意为“我的亲身经历〞。
