【解题导语】本文主要讲述了作者在中学期间和一名英语老师之间的故事。 【核心词汇】adviser n．顾问 pen pal笔友 concern n．担心的事，关切的事 1．D 根据上文中的“Mildred Webinga Freeman was an English teacher at the new middle school I attended in the ninth grade”和空后的“she was the adviser to the safety patrol(巡逻队)”可推知，Mildred Webinga Freeman不是作者的老师(teacher)，下文中的“and became pen pals”也是提示。
2．A 根据语境并结合选项可知，作者当时也在巡逻队里。serve“为……工作”。 3．B 根据空前的“I loved being around her”可知，作者喜欢(enjoyed)老师的幽默感和善良的品质。
4．D 根据上文中的“an English teacher”和“the adviser”可知，本句是对这位老师身份的补充说明。她也(also)是一个好的倾听者。
5．B 根据语境可知，老师宣布(announced)了一个消息，她要搬到佛罗里达州了，作者感到很伤心。
6．A 根据上文中的“At the end of the year, she __5__ that she was moving to Florida”和空后的“and became pen pals”可推知，作者和老师互换了地址(addresses)，成了笔友。
7．C 根据上文中的“and became pen pals”与空后的“she treated me __8__ respect even though I was a teenager”可推知，作者与老师无话不谈，这与上文作者乐于和老师相处的背景呼应。故选C。
8．C 固定搭配：treat sth.意为“以某种态度/方式对待某人”，符合语境，故选C。 9．B 根据空后的“she managed to find time to write letters”可推知，上下文表示转折关系。故选B。
10．A 根据上文中的“I loved being around her and __3__ her sense of humor and kind personality”可推知，老师很幽默，总是给作者讲一些好笑的(amusing)故事。
11．C take sb./为固定搭配，意为“认真对待某人/某事”。老师认真对待作者所关切的事情。
12．D 根据下文中的“You are welcome anytime”可推知，老师欢迎作者随时来访，an open invitation为习语，意为“随时可以来访的邀请”，符合语境，故选D。urgent“急迫的”；ambiguous“模棱两可的”。
13．C 根据上文中的“We exchanged __6__ and became pen pals”可推知，作者写信(wrote)告诉老师，他接受她的提议(offer)。
14．A 参见上题解析。offer“提供，提议”。

20．A 根据上文中的“You know, the sky is fuel for the soul”并结合选项可知，当时老师看了天空，此处指的应是天上的云(clouds)。

3．Try to tell what you think of Tom and of the way which the children treated him.
________________________________________________________

4．Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because of she thought it was too hard.

答案：去掉of because引导原因状语从句。because of后接名词(短语)、代词或宾语从句。
5．The manager gave his command that measures were taken immediately to correct all the mistakes made in marketing.
________________________________________________________
答案：were→be that引导的是同位语从句，解释说明command的具体内容，其从句

【文章大意】本文介绍了在学校网站上为学生开的一个博客。
1. 【解析】第二句opening→opened。此处是一般将来时态的被动语态, 故把opening改为opened。
2. 【解析】第二句that→which。前面整个句子作先行词后面用which引导非限制性定语从句。
3. 【解析】第三句在open前加an。一个开放的平台。open以元音音素开头, 故在as和open之间加an。
4. 【解析】第四句去掉with。share sth. with sb. 和某人分享某物。
5. 【解析】第五句had→have。此处是if引导的条件状语从句, 主句是祈使句, 表示将来, 所以从句用一般现在时态, 故had改为have。
6. 【解析】第六句possible→ possibly。副词修饰动词, 故possible改为 possibly。 7. 【解析】第六句 our→your。根据句意可知是在你们的同学的帮助下, 故把our改为your。 8. 【解析】第七句attracting→ attracted。 此处是过去分词作状语, 表示被动关系, 故用 attracted。
9. 【解析】第八句benefit→ beneficial。 形容词作表语, 故把benefit改为 beneficial。 10. 【解析】第九句are→is。此处every one是句子主语, 谓语动词应用单数形式, 故把are改为is。
