这是一篇记叙文。Jennifer 准备离开家去上大学，她内心充满着对新生活的渴望，但这对她的父母来说则是另一种心情。
1．A 根据下文“going away to college”可知，此处表示Jennifer 完成了高中学业，应选择A项。finish “完成”；attend “出席”；enter “进入”；continue “继续”。
2．C 从高中毕业到去上大学就像一本好书中的某一章结尾时短暂的停顿一样。frequent “频繁的”；sudden “突然的”；brief “简洁的，短暂的”；complicated “复杂的”。
3．C 根据上文可知，作者将从高中转入大学看成是一本好书章节间的短暂停顿，所以作者应该是想继续欣赏，急于翻页，应选择C项。
4．A Jennifer 到了楼下，她的父母正在等她，出奇地安静。这种静反映了孩子要离开时他们的心情。strangely “奇怪地，异常地”；badly “拙劣地”；normally “正常地”；definitely “确切地，明确地”。
5．B 此处指Jennifer 内心深感愧疚，因此使用within。 6．D 当Jennifer 承认自己曾经是多么渴望离开家开始大学的新生活时，她深感内疚。look up to “尊敬”；get used to “习惯于”；get bored with “厌倦”；look forward to “盼望，期待”。
7．C 根据第18空前的“as she did just now in the car”可知，应选择C项。
8．A 根据第17空处“She had sat still in the __17__ middle of the seat as she did just now in the car”可知，母亲让Jennifer 坐在座位中间。
9．B 这里表示Jennifer 的母亲流露出有些伤心的笑，应选择B项。flash “闪光”；wear “流露，面带，呈现(某种神态)”；force “强迫，迫使”；shape “塑造”。
10．D 根据上文中的“Jennifer noticed that her mother was __9__ one of those sad-looking smiles” 可知，Jennifer 担心母亲在车站会忍不住哭出来。第13空前的weepy 也可作为提示。
11．B 火车要来了，这是最后的话别时刻 ，之后应该是离别前的拥抱。decision “决定”；hug “拥抱”；change “改变”；rush “猛冲”。
12．D 临别前，Jennifer 不想让父母担心，所以高兴地说一切都会好的。loudly “大声地”；sadly “悲伤地”；impatiently “不耐烦地”；heartily “开怀地”。
13．B 根据前文中的“she noticed her mother wasn't weepy at all”可知，此处表示在照相时母亲带着笑容的脸上甚至都看不出伤感，前后为递进关系，因此选择B项。
14．D Jennifer 透过车窗目送着父母，此处用them 指 Jennifer 的父母。
15．D bring back the memory 表示“勾起回忆”，符合语境。keep away “不接近，使离开”；stick to “坚持(做某事，不怕困难)”；wipe off “从??除掉(或抹掉)”。
16．A 根据下文中的“the big Ferris wheel(摩天轮)all by herself”可知，Jennifer 说服父母同意让她独自一人去坐摩天轮。ride “乘坐”，符合语境。
17．C 这里指Jennifer 当时坐在座位的正中间。exact “精确的，准确的”。
18．B Jennifer 当时坐在座位的正中间动都不敢动，但心里确信即使她摔下去，即使摩天轮翻倒，父母也一定会接住她。certain “确定，确信”。
19．D 想到这儿，Jennifer 突然泪如泉涌。control “控制”；roll “滚动”；empty “倒空”；flood “大量涌入，蜂拥而出”。
20．A Jennifer 最后一次擦去眼中的泪水，再去看父母时，他们已经不见了踪影。out of sight “看不见，淡出视线”。 创新预测
