答案解析（A）1.B 几个单词，尽管当时对说话者来说并不意味着多少内容，却能够产生巨大的能量。2.C 第二十空前面的to be a writer制约该空应填writer。3.D 由下文He had few friends and no self-confidence.可以反推该空表示“无助的”，应填helpless。4.A 由语境可知，Ruth Brauch要求学生续写所学小说最后一章，因此该空应填follow。5.D 参见第七题的解析。

6.C 参见第七题的解析。7.B 今天他无法记起他写的那一章有什么特别之处，或者Brauch夫人给他打的是什么等级，然而他的确记得纸上的四个字：此文很好。8.C 由下文介绍英语老师的鼓励使主人公变成成功作家的内容可以推断，这四个字改变了主人公的一生。9.A 下文“After reading her…”暗示在获得英语老师鼓励性批语之前主人公对自己是谁、未来会做什么一直没有想法，因此该空应填Until，强调直到主人公获得老师鼓励性批语才对未来有所设想。10.C 分析语境可知，“This is good writing.”是老师写在纸上的批语，因此该空应填note。

11.B 根据下文梦想做某事，应用something。12.D 主人公写短篇小说是他一直梦想着做但从来不相信能做好的事。13.C 分析语境可知，该空表示“在……期间”，应填Over。14.D 主人公是学生，Mrs. Brauch是老师，因此主人公把自己写的许多小说带给Brauch夫人的目的应该是获得指导，所以该空应填instruction。15.A 后来他被选为校报的合作编辑。16.B 被选为校报合作编辑使主人公的信心大增。17.C 他开始了颇有成就的成功生活。18.A 主人公意识到如果英语老师没有写这四个字，他的成功生活就不可能变为现实。19.D 他告诉老师那四个字对他的生活产生了多大的影响。20.C pass…on to意思为“把……传递给”，符合语境逻辑和句子结构。（B）1.A 由后文可知，作者全篇介绍狼，这里开篇点题“你是否对狼的世界进行过思考？”再看选项，符合文章的只有A项。2.B 从下文介绍的狼是草原英雄可以得知，该空应填“羡慕，钦佩”，故答案为B项。3.D 从后文介绍的狼的种种捕食本领以及最后一段中的survive可以得知，狼比人类更懂得求生，所以答案选D项。4.D 根据句意“懂得怎样充分利用地形”；用固定搭配make use of，故答案选D项。5.C 由文中的good at fighting可以知道，这里描述的是狼善于利用地形捕获羊，即让羊落入圈套，故答案选D项。6.C 从狼捕食的艺术来看，狼如果是人，会是更“杰出的”善战能手，故答案选C项。7.B 从下文可以看出“狼是富有团队精神的”，故答案选B项。8.A 文意是指“一只狼的力量是微弱的”，其他选项不合文意，故答案选A项。9.C 文意“一只狼的力量是微弱的”，句中的but表示转折，文意“一群狼无所畏惧”称赞其团队精神，故答案选C项。10.D 文意“溃败时一起逃跑”，“溃败”与“群逃”应是让步关系，故答案选D项。11.C 固定句型it is/was…that…是强调句型，故答案选C项。12.B 由下文“小狼的拼死抗争”可知狼不会向任何人“屈服”，故答案选B项。13.A 考查副词，对过去事情的叙述，表示“曾经”，故答案选A项。14.B 前句“细心养护”与后句“小狼仍想回到狼群中去”，可知作者应是失望的，故答案选B项。15.D 虽被细心照料仍想回到其他的狼群中去，the other表示“其他的”，故答案选D项。16.A 由后文never gave in得知，狼是骄傲的，故答案选A项。17.A 考查介词，由文意“抗争至死”，可知答案为A项。18.C 由下文的respect可知，该空应填self-respect，故答案选C项。19.B 从全文可知作者是赞扬狼的，由常识可以知道人们厌恶、害怕狼，而这里作者希望人们能用不同的方法看待狼，故答案选B项。20.D 由文意“它们懂得如何求生，能在这个复杂的危险世界里成功（生存）”可知答案选D项。
