25、; 2.C; 3.D; 4.C解析：1. A细节理解题。根据Jane Addams(1860-1935)中的 第一句话 “ Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank” 可知， Addams因为她的社会性工作而出名，她为那些需要 的人们提供住所和教育服务，选择A项。2. C 细节理解题。根据“Sandra Day OConnor( 1930-present)中的 in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a

26、 woman.”可知，她曾经被法律 事务所拒绝就因为她是一名女性，也就是说这是对于 女性的一种歧视.故选择C项。3. D细节理解题。根据题干中civil-rights movement 可知选择D项，根据最后一个标题Rosa Parks(1913-2005)中的倒数第二句话“It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. ”可知 Rosa Parks对于民权运动做出了贡献，故选择D项。4. C推理判断题。A项意为“她们都接受过高等教 育”；B项意为“她们都真的是有创造力”；C项意为“她 们都是英

27、雄”；D项意为“她们都是和平爱好者”。本文 只介绍这四位女性在不同领域的贡献，没有谈到创造 力以及和平方面的问题，故只有选择C项。 13答案及解析：答案：1.D; 2.A; 3.B; 4.C; 5.C; 6.A; 7.B; 8.D; 9.B; 10.A; 11.C; 12.D; 13.D; 14.A; 15.B; 16.C; 17.B; 18.A; 19.D; 20.B解析：1.根据句意“继母是在我9岁时进我家的,当时父亲向她介绍我时”可知此处用introduce。introduce sb. to sb.“把某人介绍给某人”,符合题意。2.根据此空后面的“being the worst boy

28、 in this county”可知此处A项正确。be distinguished for.“因为而著称”,故A项正确。favor“喜欢;赞成”;mistake“错误;误解”;reward“报酬,奖励”。3.句意:绝不迟于明天早上他就很可能拿石头砸你。no later than“不迟于”,符合题意,故B项正确。4.根据此空后的“upward”可推测此处表示“她轻轻得抬起我的头”,故raise“抬起,举起”符合题意。drag“拖拉”;shake“摇动”;bend“使弯曲”。5.根据下句“this is not the worst boy at all”可知此处wrong正确。perfect“完美

29、的”;right“正确的”;impolite“不礼貌的”。6.句意:这根本不是最坏的小孩,而是最聪明的小孩,只是还没有找到释放热情的途径。承接上半句中的not.,构成结构not.but.“不是.而是”7.句意:这番话就是我们之间友谊的开始。由句意可知friendshi “友谊”正确。agreement“协议”;gap“缺口;间隙”;relationship“关系”8.句意:在我心目中,家人和邻居都把我看成一个坏孩子。in ones mind “在某人心目中”,故D项正确。opinion“观点”;image“形象”;experctation期望。9.persuade sb to do sth 劝

30、说某人做某事,符合语境。beg乞讨;order命令;invite“邀请”,均不符合语境。10.句意:她把我们家搬到县城,这样父亲的事业可能会更成功,我们兄弟可能会受到更好的教育。由句意可知此处successful“成功的”正确。meaningful “有意义的,意味深长的”;helpful“有帮助的”;useful “有用的”。11.由句意可知此处表示“受到更好的教育”,故educate“教育”正确。treat“对待”;entertain“娱乐;招待”;respect“尊敬”。12.由下半句中的“.I could become a writer”可知此处唯有typewriter“打印机”正确。

31、13.句意:我知道她的用心,对此我很感激,我看出了她是如何改变着我们生活的。由句意可知此处appreciate“感激,欣赏”正确。consider“看做,认为”;suspect“怀疑,猜想”;ignore“忽略,忽视”。14.句意:我接受了她的信任,可是为当地报纸写作。根据句意此处belief“信任,相信”正确。request“请求,需要”;criticism“批评”;description“描述,描绘”。15.根据此空前的信息“.doing the same kind”可知所讲即是上文中提到的“writing”,故B项正确。16.根据下两句中“my father became the. My

32、 brothers and stepbrothers became.”可知此处表示受益者不仅仅是我一人,故此处用only。17.句意:我的服从成为城里最富有的人。wealthiest“最富有的”,符合语境。cleverest“最聪明的”;strongest“最强壮的”;healthiest“最健康的”。18.在第一段首句作者就提到了关键词“enthusiasm”,文章结尾也提到此,表示“热心,热情的力量很大”之意。sympathy“同情”;fortune“财富”;confidence“自信”。19.此处表示“当这种力量被释放来支持,并不断地被信仰所增强”之意,故constantly“不断地,时常地”正确。deliberately“故意地”;happily“高兴地”;traditionally“传统地”。20.句意:这成为一种不可抗拒的力量,而这是贫穷和暂时的失败所不能相比的。由句意可知match“匹配,相比”正确。
