1. 提示:此处是指作者想起了从前的一件事，memory在此处的意思是“回忆、留在记忆中的人或事”。题干中的bring back的意思为“使……回忆起”，和memory正好搭配。
2. 提示:此空实际上是对整个句子意思和结构的考查。when是关系副词，引导的定语从句修饰先行词the evening，进一步说明那天晚上的情况。其他三个选项都能引导定语从句，但意思不合语境的要求。
3. 提示:当大家坐在桌子边时，应该是有人端上面条来，从下文对大家在吃面条情景的描述看，此处不是强调Aunt Pat做的意大利面条，而是强调她给我们吃的意大利面条，serve在此处的意思为“端上饭菜招待顾客”。
4. 提示:in those days指“在当时”，相当于in the past。因为作者就在吃面条的现场，不可能用到“他们的时代”这样的状语；而B、C两项都应该使用定冠词。
5. 提示:正因为是外来品，所以没有人吃过意大利面条。根据Never had I eaten spaghetti可知，大人们也都是不常吃的。D项只能表示“两者”，从上下文可知，在场的不止两个人。 6. 提示:根据下面他们对吃面条的方法都大发争论，看来他们不常吃面条，或者说不知怎样把面条送到嘴里为好，可知他们不善于吃面条。短语be good at的意思为“善于；在某方面做得好”。
7. 提示:从本句的下文看，因为他们不知吃面条的方法，必然会产生争论。have argument about也是常用的短语，意思是“就……争论”。
8. 提示:怎样把面条送进嘴里才算讲究，才算高雅，才算体面是指社交方面的事，故选用socially“在社交方面，善于交际地，在社会中”。吃东西的方法不能由官方来定，所以排除干扰性较强的C项。
9. 提示:当作者想起吃意大利面条这件事，“猛然”意识到要写这个题目，是合情理的。 10. 提示:短语put down 在此处的意思为“把……记下来或写下来”。
11. 提示:下文有not for Mr Fleage，从短文的意思看，既然不是为了上交作文而写，就不用按老师的要求写，而是为了自己高兴而写。
12. 提示:作者决定不按老师的旨意去写，“至于老师这方面……”。as for him 起承上启下的作用。
13. 提示:因为第二天早晨作者没有交上按老师要求所写的文章，可知是没有“时间”了。
14. 提示:短语hand in的意思为“上交(作业等)”。 15. 提示:根据题意:这些试卷应该是经老师批阅过打分的，而不仅仅收上来(C项)或者签名(D项)。grade在此处的意思为“给……分级或分类；给……评分”，grade papers是“评试卷；给试卷打分”。
16. 提示:读给全班同学听，应该大声地读，loud的意思为“大声地”。
17. 提示:听到好笑的事情，有人先笑了，后是全班跟着笑。根据下文I did my best not to show pleasure，可排除D项。somebody指班里的某个同学。
18. 提示:老师在班里读某人的作文，是对他的表扬和肯定。根据下一句话but what I was feeling was pure happiness 可知，作者尽力不表露“喜悦”的心情，但心里却乐开了花。 19. 提示:此处for为并列连词，意为“因为”，其明显的标志是其前面用逗号与前面的句子分开
20. 提示:根据前文提到的作者的作文只是引起了大家的大笑，the whole class was laughing with openhearted enjoyment，文中并没有提到别的情绪，可知此处应用laugh作宾语补足语。
阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 Success does not belong to a select group of individuals; success belongs to those who are willing to go after it. Success belongs to those who are willing to look fear in the face, eyeball to eyeball, and then do what they have to do. Success belongs to those who realize that there is something more important than their fear.
“Desire is the key to motivation….” Desire is the longing to achieve a vision; without desire you have nothing. If you’ve lost your vision, or if your desire is not strong, work to clarify your vision, use pictures, write the vision down. Habakkuk said, “Write the vision, and make it plain, ” Before you can run with desire, your vision must be plain, it must be clear, it must be exciting.
“Seventy percent of success in life is showing up.” You can’t get your dream job, if you’re scared to turn in an application. You won’t get the sale, if you don’t try. Showing up doesn’t guarantee success, but rest assured if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed. When it comes to your dreams, and the things you desire to achieve in this life, you have to show up. Thomas J. Watson said, “Would you like me to give you a formula（公式）for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.” Never fear failure, it is failure that will bring you success. Embrace failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.
Success is not about doing what the average person can’t do, it’s about doing what the average person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the average person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that cause success.
Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey!
