【语篇解读】本文是夹叙夹议的文章。

“我”曾经因为聪明、具有潜力，在中学表现优秀而考上了好大学。

然而上了大学后，“我”开始疏于学业，被学校开除。

然后“我”自暴自弃，与社会上的闲散人员在一起，走上了犯罪的道路。

家人的关怀使“我”回到了正轨，在回想自己过去时，别有一番滋味在心头。

1．A[联系空后的“and I even got a scholarship to a really good __2__ (college)”我们知道，因为成绩优异，“我”考上了好大学。

]
2．C[前面说了自己在中学的表现，再联系空前的“got a scholarship”，我们知道，“我”得了奖学金，上了一所好大学。

其他选项中，score指“分数”，degree 指“程度”，grade指“年级”。

]
3．D[联系下文的“I was so shy that I had a hard time talking to people.”我们知道，“我”性格内向，不善交际，不善于交朋友。

]
4．B[联系前文“我”不善于交朋友，性格内向，我们知道，“我”不适应环境。

fit in的意思是“适应好”。

5．C[联系空后的“getting into trouble”以及被赶出学校，我们知道，“我”开始逃课。

]
7．A[联系下文“We weren't kids anymore and the only thing we __10__(cared about)was the streets.”我们知道，“我”与其他闲散青年一起在街上闲荡。

] 8．B[联系前后文我们知道，“我”上了大学，而这些人是闲散人员。

现在“我”
与这些跟“我”机遇不同的人逛荡。

]
9．A[联系前文的“We lived in poor neighborhoods”我们知道，作者在这里讲述环境对自己的影响。

从后文的“I was looking up to the__11__(wrong)people”我们也可以得出答案提示。

]
10．D[联系空前的“the only thing”我们可以推断出，“我”所在乎的是大街上的人们。

其他选项中，wander about意为“游荡”，live by意为“住在旁边”，suffer from意为“受……之苦”。

]
11．A[联系下文自己两次进监狱我们知道，“我”在大街上只是找那些与自己臭味相投的人，因此是wrong people。

C和D均有一定的干扰性，文中没有提到作者的妻子或者孩子，因此可以排除。

] 18．D[空前有“My heart finally opened up”，空后有“of being abandoned was gone”，因此这里指对别人放弃自己的担心。

]

选材相似度：★★★★

Despite the popularity of school spelling competitions, adults in the US performed poorly in a survey comparing how English speakers on both sides of the Atlantic deal with commonly misspelt words.
Sixty­two percent of Americans got“embarrassed”wrong, against 54 percent of Britons who struggled with the word in a survey last year. Adults in the US performed less well on most of the ten words tested, including millennium (52 percent wrong, against 43 percent in the UK), liaison (61 percent to 54 percent)and “accommodation”(42 percent to 36 percent)．Only “definitely”and “friend”were spelt correctly by more Americans.
Jack Bovill of the Spelling Society, which sponsored(发起)the research, said the high inaccuracy rates in both countries showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized.“When asked, only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling.The answers in the test prove that this_is_far_from_the_case，”he said.“What is holding the UK and the USA back is the irreg ular spelling system.”
Professor Edward Baranowski, one academic consultant for the project, said, “We have different spellings for the same sound, and a system which reflects how English was spoken in the 13th to 15th centuries, not how it is spoken today.So many sound changes have occurred in the language, which is not reflected in modern spelling, that we are left with a ‘fossilized(僵化的)’system.”
The study found that 40 percent of the respondents would support updating words that caused problems while 16 percent opposed the idea.And 31 percent said it didn't matter.
The US survey involving a sample of 1，000 adults was carried out online by Ipsos MORI last month, with the method based on a survey of 1，000 Britons in April last year.
1．The second paragraph is developed________．
A．by space B．by explanation
C．by time D．by comparison
2．The underlined word“inaccuracy”in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by________．
A．success B．error
C．correctness D．growth
3．The underlined part “this is far from the case” in Paragraph 3 implies that________．A．most of the Americans can spell correctly
B．there are more people having spelling problems
C．adults perform worse in spelling than kids
D．it is difficult to create a new spelling system
4．Professor Baranowski seems to agree that________．
A．spelling should represent the sound of words
B．we should learn how English was spoken centuries ago
C．different countries should have different spellings
D．sound changes have nothing to do with spelling
5．What would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．Who is responsible for our spelling
B．The English language to be blamed
C．Americans embarrassed by their spellings
D．Words needed to be modernized
【语篇解读】一项调查发现，美国人在单词拼写方面不如英国人。

1．D[论述手法题。

第二段对美国和英国成年人单词拼写情况进行了对比，故选D。

]
2．B[词义猜测题。

根据本句的“showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized”，联系第二段英美成年人较高的拼写错误率，可知inaccuracy可用error来代替，都是“错误”的意思。

]
3．B[推理判断题。

联系上一句“When asked, only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling”可知，Bovill是想说，这项研究表明，实际上很多人都存在拼写问题。

]
4．A[推理判断题。

根据第四段Baranowski所说的话可知，他认为拼写应该表现单词的发音。

represent意为“表现”，reflect意为“反映”，此处两者含义一致。

]
5．C[标题归纳题。

C项标题一语双关，embarrassed一词既表明了美国人拼写的尴尬现状，又涉及了拼写调查的部分内容。
