Answer 1

36．C　句意為：她除了受腦癱之苦外，似乎沒有什么不尋常的。except后接that從句，意為“除了”；前面的that作副詞，相當(dāng)于very。

37．A　從下面的她主動(dòng)與別人打招呼可知，因她外表上的缺陷，許多人都不和她說話。

38．D　她的肌肉僵硬，導(dǎo)致了說話和走路困難，因此她看上去與眾不同。

39．B　既然別人都不和她說話，她就主動(dòng)打破僵局，先向別人打招呼。break the ice打破僵局；break the rule破壞規(guī)則。

40．D　句意為：我布置了只值10分的任務(wù)，因?yàn)槲覍?duì)現(xiàn)在的孩子不抱多大“期望”。

41．C　要檢查任務(wù)的“那一天”到了。

42．D　從后句“Sorry，Mr Krause，” was the standard reply可知被叫到的每個(gè)學(xué)生都沒有把詩背下來。fail to do sth.沒有做成某事。

43．D　句意為：“最后”，我很失望，半開玩笑地宣布……；sadly與disappointment重復(fù)。

44．B　“下一個(gè)”背不出詩的人要做10個(gè)俯臥撐。

45．D　Tina是下一個(gè)，這出乎我的意料，即to my surprise。

46．A　既然使用助步架，她只能是挪(move)到前面。

47．A　從后面“she__48__her walker to the side，fell to the floor and started doing push­ups”可知，她沒有完全背出，即make a mistake。

48．B　她把助步架扔到一邊。用throw表現(xiàn)了Tina不屈服的個(gè)性。

49．C　Tina的舉動(dòng)當(dāng)然讓老師很“震驚”，他沒有想到Tina會(huì)真的去做俯臥撐。

50．C　做完俯臥撐后Tina又“繼續(xù)”去背那首詩。

51．C　那首詩的其余部分她背得相當(dāng)好，由下句“one of only a few of student，who did，as it__52__”可知。

52．D　show up露面；add to增加；bring about帶來；turn out(結(jié)果)證明。句意為：正如后來所證實(shí)的，她是幾個(gè)背出來的學(xué)生中的一個(gè)。

53．A　句意為：我想像你們一樣正常。be like像。

54．C　聽了Tina的話，整個(gè)教室一片寂靜。說明同學(xué)們深受感動(dòng)。

55．A　從后句“we’re teenagers！We get in trouble all the time.”可知，那個(gè)學(xué)生想說明大家都和Tina一樣，都會(huì)遇到麻煩。故選A項(xiàng)。其他幾項(xiàng)都是描述人的品質(zhì)。
