参考答案：
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了 GDA项目并为该项目招募志愿管理人员。
1. C 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词vlunteer managers可直接定位到语篇第二段第三、四句，根据其内容可知，他们对于 GDA项目的安全有效运行起着非常重要的作用，所以C项“执行项目”为正确选项。
2. D 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词beginning in August可直接定位到活动项目日程表的最后一栏，根据本部分中的关键信息Suth Africa 2 Aug. —29 Aug.可知，8月份开始的项目是在南非。
3. D 推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词shared gal f GDA’s prjects可直接定位到日程表下面语段的最后一句，根据本句内容可知，该项目的目的是促进贫困偏远地区的发展，故D项 “帮助有需要的地区”为正确选项。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。从小在农场长大的詹妮弗高中毕业后一边工作一边读技术学院，还供家中弟弟妹妹上学，成家后又重返校园攻读学位。她的努力不仅让自己以优异的成绩毕业，还给家人，尤其是她的三个孩子树立了榜样，让他们得到了激励。
4. C推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词after high schl可直接定位到第二段第三句。根据本句内容可知，詹妮弗髙中毕业后上了当地的一所技术学院，因为家里没有多余的钱供她上大学， 所以她自己工作挣钱支付学费，故选C项“她自食其力读完了大学”。
5. A细节理解题。根据题干中的Ministry Saint Jseph’s Hspital可定位到第三段。根据本段第三句中的because she was able t pursue her fur-year degree clse t hme 以及第四句 “She culd drive t class and be hme in the evening t help with her kids.” 可知，詹妮弗选择这个项目是因为离家近，这样便于她照顾孩子。
6. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Jennifer sacrificed t achieve her gal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing imprtant events t study. ”可知，詹妮弗为了实现目标，牺牲了很多夜晚陪伴孩子的时光，错过了很多重要的活动，故B项“她和家人在一起的时光”与原文意思相符。
7. C主旨大意题。文章讲述了詹妮弗一边工作一边读完技术学院，还供弟弟妹妹上学，成家后又重返校园，最后成功取得学位的故事。C项“努力就会有回报”符合文意。A项“时间就是金钱”、 B项“爱能打破障碍”和D项“教育是成功的关键”均不符合文意。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者不畏艰难，挑战自我，坚持跑完马拉松，实现了一次从自我砥砺到自我认知的人生“长跑”的励志故事。本文告诉我们：只要勇于挑战，拼搏进取，人人皆为胜者。
8. C 细节理解题。由第一段第二句“Yet, I was determined t g ahead.” 并结合上句的 leaving me nly tw weeks t train 可知，虽然作者在马拉松前一个月脚踝受伤需休息两个周，但他决心在仅剩的两周训练时间里继续前行，去参加马拉松长跑。此处 的关键信息determined与选项C中的made up his mind相吻合。
9. C 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“I didn’t d either well. He later infrmed me that I was ‘ nt athletic’.” 可知，作者列举小时候第一次上体育课的例子，说明自己跑圈不行，打垒球也不行，所以老师告诉作者他不擅长体育运动。这显然表明了作者在运动方面没有天赋，与选项C的意思匹配。
10. A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“I was ne f the final runners t finish. But I finished!” 可知，作者跑完了这次马拉松。这与选项A中的made it （做成）意思吻合。选项B说作者中途退出马拉松长跑，这与I finished不吻合；选项C说作者获 得一等奖，这与原文倒数第二段中的第一句“I was ne f the final runners t finish.”矛盾，故排除C项；而D项说作者步行走到终点，但根据原文倒数第五段最后一句“Despite the pain, I stayed the curse walking a bit and then running again.” 可知，作者走了一会儿，然后继续跑，故排除D项。
11. B主旨大意题。根据作者对自己跑马拉松情况的叙述可知，对于一位脚踝有伤、不具有运动天赋的人来说去跑马拉松面临的挑战可想而知，但作者不畏艰难，凭着强大的意志力，最后成功到达终点，显然就是选项B提到的“一位具有强大意志力的获胜者”。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了小学教师Whaley通过组织学生演讲来帮助学生增强自信的教学实践。
12. B 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词nervus可定位到第二段第一句，然后应到前文中找使他紧张的因素。根据第一段中的 “ is speech day, and right nw it’s Chris Palaez’s turn.” 和 “ seems like the kind f kid wh wuld enjy public speaking.”可知，今天是演讲日，现在轮到了 Chris，虽然他看起 来像是那种喜欢在公共场合讲话的孩子，但是他很紧张。由此可知，演讲使Chris紧张。
13. A 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的yu 以及“ ”这样的语句特点可知，Chris的演讲不流畅，也就是 说有不适当的停顿。这是他表现不好的地方，与画线词后的句意“Chris完成得出奇的好”构成转折关系，与短语except fr的语意相呼应。
14. A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Whaley says the prject is abut mre than just learning t read and speak in public. He wants these kids t learn t bast abut themselves.” 可知， Whaley创办这个项目的目的不仅仅是让学生学会阅读和在公共场合演讲，他还希望学生学会自夸。A项意为“帮助学生看到自己的长处”,与原文意思相符。
15. C推理判断题。文章介绍了 Whaley老师通过创办“总统竞选项目”，组织学生演讲来帮助学生增强自信。根据第二段中的“His teacher, Thmas Whaley, is next t him, whispering supprt.” 和 “ invites the rest f the class t praise him.” 等细节也 可看出Whaley老师是一个关心学生的老师。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四个自我接纳的小技巧。 本文旨在让读者接受自我，做一个健康的自己，倡导自尊自信、乐观向上的人生态度。
16. B 关联逻辑法解题。文章标题A Few Tips fr Self-Acceptance及空格前的“接受和爱自己似乎很难”，空格后的“这里有一些建议可以让你朝正确的方向发展”，均暗示空格处表示“该如何开始”，选项B “你从哪里开始呢？ ”与之对应。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
17. F设题位置法解题。根据此题所在的位置可知，此处是本段的中心句。根据下文 “Are yu hping that eventually yu will feel empwered because yur life is better than theirs? Knw that yur life is yur wn; yu are the nly yu in this wrld.” 可知，本段主要讲述不要把自己与别人作比较，因为生活是我们自己的，我们也是世界上独一无二的。选项F “别再拿自己与别人作比较”与之对应。本设空类型属于段落主题句类。
18. D 关联逻辑法解题。本段的中心句“Frgive yurself fr mistakes that yu have made.（原谅自己所犯的错误）”及下文的“Yu will make mistakes，time and time again.（你会一次又一次地犯错误）”暗示空格处表示“你只是个人，是人都会犯错误”，选项 D与之对应。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
19. C关联逻辑法解题。本段的主题是“认可自己的优点”。根据空格前的“你有了一份工作，拿到了文凭，而且今天起床了”可知，任何小事都是值得认可的，故选项C “没有什么小事是不值得庆祝的”符合语境。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
20. A关联逻辑法解题。本段的主题是“列出自己的优点，再列出缺点。找到缺点后，再去看自己的优点”。根据空格后的“在你的日记中翻到你的优点和成就清单的一页”可知，空格前表示 “如果你感到沮丧、不高兴的话”,选项A与之对应。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍约翰•威尔逊在实验中因出现事故而失明，但他没有被命运击倒，而是努力奋斗改变命运，最后取得成功。文章告诉我们一个道理：我们的生活不是取决于发生在我们身上的事情，而是取决于我们对发生的事情的态度。
21. A上文语境题。上文提到仅仅擅长某件事并有激情是不够的，由此可知此处意为“成功从根本上取决于（depend n）我们对 自己和对生活中所发生事件的看法”。
22. C 上下文语境题。由语境可知，成功取决于我们对生活中所发生事件（event）的看法。
23. A下文语境题。根据下文可知，威尔逊发生事故是始料未及的。have n way f knwing没办法知道，符合语境。
24. B上下文语境题。根据主语the class experiment可知，实验是要展示（shw）一种现象。direct管理，指导；advcate提倡，拥护; declare 宣布。
25. A 下文语境题。根据下文的 smething mre vlatile than water可知本该装水的容器误（mistakenly）装了其他溶液。casually 随便地;amazingly令人惊讶地;clumsily笨拙地。
26. B 下文语境题。根据下文的 leaving Wilsn blinded in bth eyes可知，容器爆炸（explde）了，导致他眼睛失明。erupt爆发; empty使……成为空的；expse揭露。
27. B上下文语境题。根据语境可知，他的父母试图（attempt）找到应对这次灾祸的方法。
28. D 上下文语境题。由上文的deal with the catastrphe及下文的叙述可知，虽然父母觉得这是灾祸，但他没有把这次事故看成是灾难性的（catastrphic）。fantastic奇异的，极好的； extrardinary非凡的；impressive让人印象深刻的。
29. A上下文语境题。由语境可知，在那里，他不仅是一名出色的学生，而且成为一名技艺高超的（accmplished）演说家。crucial 决定性的；specific特定的；inncent天真的，无辜的。
30. C上下文语境题。根据上文他的眼睛失明，并结合下文的fr lack f prper treatment可知非洲有很多人因缺少恰当的治疗而失明（blindness）。
31. D上下文语境题。根据动宾搭配并结合文意可知，对他来说，接受（accept）自己失明的命运是一回事，而在可以如此容易解决的情况下，让事情继续下去则完全是另一回事。decide决定; abandn 抛弃；cntrl 控制。
32. B下文语境题。根据下文“This mved him t actin.”可知，对他用一般现在时；主语是it,故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。来说在可以如此容易解决的情况下，让事情继续下去完全是 另一回事。when “当……的时候”，符合此处语境。
