才奋发图强改变自己的命运，最终功成名就的人生经历。1.Buseless：没有用，从上文“Ididverybadlyatschool”可以看出，作者给校长的印象是“无用”。2.AYou’renevergoingtobeanythingbutafailure.意为：你将一事无成。（你将只是一个失败者）根据never可判断选anything。never／not…anythingbut=nothingbut=only。3.Bpoorjob“低等的、劣等的工作”。low与job搭配不当，因他学业不好，文凭不高，故推断“我”应做poorjob；useful不合句意。4.D句意：这可能是发生在我身上的最好的事情。5.B根据其宾语可判断出这是作者作出的决定。decide：决定……6.C我想向她证明人们对我的评价是错的。her指thenicemiddleclassgirl。7.AA项wrong：错误的，不对的。D项faulty：不完美的，有缺陷的，有错误的。8.Dfaceit：承认，正视（现实）。9.Cwriting写作，由下一句话“在大学时我的第一部小说出版了”，推知“我”努力尝试写作。10.Ccomeout“出版”；A项comeon“上场；改善；快，加把劲；得了吧!”；B项comein“（潮水）上涨；取得（名次）；时兴，流行；可利用，可提供；到达”；D项comeback,“回来，返回；再度流行”。11.A根据下文“attendedeveningclasses”可判断出是白天在大学里教书。12.C句意：“我”获得了历史学学位。13.D此句意为：我成了一位大学讲师，并且正考虑放弃那份工作（讲师）去专门从事写作。A项由givein“屈服，让步”；B项giveback“归还；使恢复”；C项giveout“用完，耗尽；停止运转；分发，散发；发出，放出（光，热）；宣布”。14.Cwhen在此处相当于justatthattime，suddenly，用来引出一个忽然出现的动作。15.B句意：这（里）是一个工人阶级男子，他曾过早辍学，现在在大学教书。16.Aleftschool“辍学”；B项attendschool“上学”。17.D根据下文“havebeenonTV，andmetlotsoffilmstars”可判断出作者出名了。A项：累了；B项：镇定的；C项：紧张的。18.B转折连词，A项：并且，顺接连词；C项：然而，副词。19.Ajust=mercy／only，表达了作者惟一的愿望。20.B根据直接引语可确定选B。say强调说的内容；此句意为：我多么希望那些曾经蔑视过我的人们过去说的话是，“我信任你，你必能成功”。此句用的是虚拟语气。Putsb.down：“使（当众）出丑”。三.阅读理解：本篇介绍了两种需要特别培训的身体运动。1.C细节题。由第一段的第二句“这种活动必须被严格控制，因为朝错误方向的一个微小运动将会导致错误”可知答案为C。2.B细节题。由第一段的倒数第二句“一个……的舞蹈者在……前必须经过长期的训练”可知答案为B。3.B细节题。根据第二段的第五、六句可知答案。4.A主旨大意。文章第一句“有两种身体活动需要特殊训练”为主题句，下面两段内容均是以此展开的。四.短文改错：1.completecompletely2.去掉far3.decided后加to4.cancould5.√6.onin7.shoneshining8.delightingdelighted9.butand10.itthere
