【解题导语】本文叙述了“我”上高中时，深受Bessie老师的启迪和鼓舞，最终实现幻想，成为一名作家的故事。

1．A.amusing B．towering

C．interesting D．exciting

解析：选B。然而，Bessie 在教室里很高大。amusing意为“好笑的”；towering意为“高大的”；interesting 意为“好玩的”；exciting意为“令人感动的，感动人心的”。依据空格前的“However”的转折可知，此处与前文中的“only about five feet tall”形成对比，故选B项。

2．A.more than B．less than

C．better than D．worse than

解析：选A。在1938年到1942年期间，“我”在Saint Bernard高中就读，她教会了“我”很多多于“我”意识到的东西。more than“比……多”，符合语境。故选A项。

3．A.academy B．homework

C．race D．discipline

解析：选D。academy意为“学术”；homework意为“作业”；race意为“赛跑，种族”；discipline意为“纪律”。依据下文中的“We didn’t dare to trouble a woman who knew about the Battle of Hastings and could also play the piano and __4__ Shakepeare and Milton”可推知，Bessie很博学，同学们都很佩服她，她的课上从来就没有纪律的问题，故选D项。

4．A.make use of B．make fun of

C．make sense of D．make light of

解析：选C。我们不敢找这样一位女士的麻烦，她了解Hastings战役，而且还能够弹钢琴，并了解莎士比亚和弥尔顿。make use of意为“利用”；make fun of意为“取笑”；make sense of意为“理解”；make light of 意为“对……等闲视之，轻视”。故选C项。

5．A.even B．still

C．ever D．yet

解析：选A。Bessie知道“我家”甚至连台收音机都没有。even意为“甚至”；still意为“仍旧”；ever 意为“曾经”；yet意为“还，然而”。依据上文中的“Miss Bessie knew that my family couldn’t afford to buy a newspaper.”可知，作者家里当时很拮据，收音机对作者家来讲是铺张品，因此此处表示递进的概念，故选A 项。

6. A．allowed B．forced

C．turned D．encouraged

解析：选D。她仍旧鼓舞“我”多为自己的将来着想，多查找一些方法来了解世界上正在发生的事情。下文中的“Years later, her encouragement finally led to that lovely day when Miss Bessie dropped me a note
