【解析】

1.1】答案　D　[由下文中的the year?round school was prison可知，一些有嚴重問題的學生會被送進監獄。]

2.2】答案　A　[因為有學生被送進監獄，所以到學期結束的時候，只有很少的學生待在班級里。]

3.3】答案　C　[由上文中的 ended in May 可知，學校在8月開學。因為句子的主語是the doors，故選C。]

4.4】答案　C　[由下文中的for first semester Spanish'可知，Chad選的是西班牙語課。]

5.5】答案　B　[由語境可知，Chad已經上了兩次同一門課。這次又選，說明他沒有獲得西班牙語的學分。]

6.6】答案　D　[由上文有些學生進了監獄可知，完不成學分的現象在特許學校是一種常見的現象。special意為“特殊的；特別的”；usual意為“通常的”；average意為“平均的”；common意為“常見的”。]

7.7】答案　B　[由語境可知，Chad沒有缺課。ignore意為“忽視；忽略”；miss意為“錯過”；spend意為“花費”；waste意為“浪費”。]

8.8】答案　A　[由下文中他更安靜了，學習更刻苦了可知，“我”注意到圣誕節結束后，Chad發生了巨大的變化。]

9.9】答案　D　[由語境可知Chad的進步給“我”留下了深刻的印象。confirm意為“證實；批準”；puzzle意為“困惑”；prevent意為“阻止”；impress意為“使……有印象”。]

10.10】答案　C　[由語境可知，“我”發現“year?round school”就是監獄。invent意為“發明”；recognize意為“認出”；discover意為“發現”；realize意為“意識到；實現”。]

11.11】答案　A　[因為Chad在學校里表現很好，所以當“我”知道了Chad闖進別人的家時，“我”感到很震驚。shocked意為“震驚的”；pleased意為“高興的”；frightened意為“害怕的”；terrified意為“恐懼的”。]

12.12】答案　D　[由語境可知，當“我”想把進步最快獎給Chad時，有些老師反對。]

13.13】答案　B　[由語境可知，“我”經過考慮后還是決定把這個獎給Chad。這與老師們的建議相反，句意表示轉折，故選B。]

14.14】答案　C　[由語境可知，“我”只想根據一個學生在校的情況評判他。reward意為“報酬；獎賞”；determine意為“決定；決心”；judge意為“判斷”；defend意為“保衛”。]

15.15】答案　A　[句意：Chad的判決延期了。那天，他上學了。make it to意為 “到達某地”。]

16.16】答案　D　[Chad根本就沒有預料到老師會給他一個獎。因此當“我”給他進步最快獎時，他幾乎沒有反應過來。]

17.17】答案　B　[Chad非常感激“我”，于是他緊緊地擁抱了“我”。]
