【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。主要講述了杰斯天生只有一只手，在學校遭受同學們嘲笑，于是他的母親露易絲想辦法開導他。幾周后，母親在看新聞時發(fā)現(xiàn)了跟杰斯有類似缺陷但積極樂觀的特肖恩，于是她的親友請求報社安排兩人見面。見面后，兩人成為朋友，并且在特肖恩的影響下，杰斯建立起了自信，開始積極生活。經(jīng)過幫助杰斯后，特肖恩也希望自己以后能幫助更多像杰斯這樣的孩子。

【1】

句意：我為什么是不一樣的？

weak弱的；sick生病的；terrible糟糕的；different不同的。根據(jù)“Jayce Crowder began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from his classmates.”可知杰斯在他讀幼兒園時就意識到自己和別人不同，所以才會有“自己為何會與別人不同”的疑問。故選D。

【2】

句意：當她自己從未找到這些答案時，她怎么能為她兒子的問題提供答案呢？

avoid避免；choose選擇；provide提供；prepare準備。根據(jù)“He would return to their home with questions: Why am I different? Why me? Why?”可知，杰斯對自己有天生缺陷的事存有疑惑，身為母親的露易絲當然希望自己能為兒子提供答案。故選C。

【3】

句意：幾周后，露易絲下班回家，打開電視看了一個關于一名來自華盛頓的六英尺三英寸八年級學生的新聞故事，14歲的特肖恩·威利斯在上傳了他的扣籃視頻后成名，就像杰茜一樣，他的左臂大部分都不見了。

opened up打開；turned on打開（水龍頭、電視、收音機、燈等）；looked at看；picked up撿起。本題考查動詞短語的辨析，露易絲是打開并且看電視了才會知道關于特肖恩的新聞故事，所以從意思搭配上就可以排除D；“看電視”的動詞搭配通常使用“watch”，而不用“look at”，排除C；“open up”的打開是指瓶子，盒子，包裹，信封等的打開，而“turn on”是指水龍頭，電視，收音機等的打開，本題是電視機的打開，應用“turn on”。故選B。

【4】

句意：幾周后，露易絲下班回家，打開電視看了一個關于一名來自華盛頓的六英尺三英寸八年級學生的新聞故事，14歲的特肖恩·威利斯在上傳了他的扣籃視頻后成名，就像杰茜一樣，他的左臂大部分都不見了。

near接近，靠近；with和……一起，用；like像；from來自。根據(jù)“…h(huán)e was missing most of his left arm.”可知，特肖恩也喪失了大部分的左臂，所以他和杰斯獨臂的缺陷很像。故選C。

【5】

句意：當時，看到特肖恩對杰斯來說似乎會是一個鼓舞人心的時刻——他會看到一個和他一樣具有類似出生缺陷的榜樣。

watching看；meeting遇見，見面；copying復制；joining參加。根據(jù)“Lewis called Jayce in. He was fascinated”可知，露易絲讓杰斯進來看新聞故事時他就被特肖恩迷住了，而杰斯是收到鼓舞才被迷住的，所以看到特肖恩對杰斯來說會是令他受鼓舞的時刻。故選A。

【6】

句意：一位親友請求報社的幫忙，安排一場和特肖恩的見面來幫助杰斯建立自信。

friendship友誼；support支持；relationship關系；confidence自信。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“He told Jayce he was perfect. He said not to let anyone's words…h(huán)is confidence.”可知，特肖恩告訴杰斯他很完美，不要讓其他人的話語動搖他的自信心，所以安排和特肖恩見面就是為了要重建杰斯的自信心。故選D。

【7】

句意：特肖恩一度非常認真對待杰斯。

mad瘋狂的，生氣的；serious認真的，嚴肅的；funny有趣的，好笑的。根據(jù)“They rode bikes around the school's hallways…”和“He told Jayce he was perfect. He said not to let anyone's words … his confidence.”可知，特肖恩和杰斯見面后，他們先是一起玩游戲，然后特肖恩再和杰斯談話，讓他重建信心。與前面一起玩耍相比，后面的談話特肖恩是比較“認真的”。故選B。

【8】

句意：他說不要讓任何人的話語動搖的你自信心。

shake動搖，搖頭；show展示；save拯救，節(jié)約；shape塑造。根據(jù)“He told Jayce he was perfect.”可知，特肖恩告訴杰斯他是完美的，就是要讓他自信并且不要受他人影響而動搖自信心。故選A。

【9】

句意：他最近開始摔跤并且愛上這項運動。

certainly肯定地，當然；recently最近；rapidly快速地；secretly秘密地，私下地。根據(jù)“Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a big difference in her son…”可知，與特肖恩見面后杰斯才有了大轉變，所以參加并且愛上摔跤這項運動是最近開始的。故選B。

【10】

句意：露易絲認為這是受特肖恩的影響。

decision決定；experience經(jīng)驗，經(jīng)歷；position位置；influence影響。根據(jù)“Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a big difference in her son…”可知，在與特肖恩見面后杰斯有了大轉變，所以露易絲認為是受特肖恩的影響。故選D。

完形填空小題類型主要有：根據(jù)上下文邏輯選填，語法和詞法選填，常識等。期中最常見也考的最多的第一種解題步驟如下：第一遍通讀全文。第二遍帶著選項試填，大部分小題的解答提示都在該題前后的幾句，比如小題10，解答提示在該題的前兩句找到，即“Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a big difference…”，再通過邏輯推理可知杰斯發(fā)生轉變是受特肖恩的影響，所以小題10的答案為“influence”；再另有一部分是需要根據(jù)全文的主旨進行選填的，這就需要我們第一遍讀時掌握文章的中心大意，比如小題4，該題后句提示特肖恩失去大部分的左臂，通讀全文也可知杰斯有獨臂缺陷，所以他兩有類似的缺項，所以該題要填“like”。第三遍如果時間充足，帶著選項通讀全文，檢查填完后的文章邏輯表達是否準確、合理、通順。
