日本有一位女士Atsuko Saeki年轻时一直梦想去美国，对未来有着美好的憧憬。然而当她到达加利福尼亚时却发现一切并非想象中的那样。 思路引导
故事的发展可分为三个阶段：打排球表现不佳→受到年轻人的鼓励→鼓励对她后来的影响。 答案与解析
1. C考查词语辨析。她从小就梦想去美国，故选C。其他选项均不符合语意。
2. B考查行文逻辑。根据后面引号中的内容可知此处是指她想象中的生活画面，故选B。 3. C考查词语辨析。此处指女士脑海中的生活画面，A指照片，不合适；B,D两项均表示绘画，图画，指的是有形物体，因此不正确。故答案为C。
4. A考查生活常识。此处只能用bake与cake搭配，意为烘蛋糕。
5. B考查语境理解。从下文可知，她是到美国加利福尼亚求学，这是事先安排好的行为。故选B。
6. B考查行文逻辑。她发现一切并非她想象中的那样，下文引号中的内容也有暗 示，与第一段引号中的内容形成对比。
7. A考查词语辨析及逻辑推理。从前半句大家都在苦苦奋斗可推断此处应该用tense紧张，其他选项与前半句逻辑关系不符。
8. C考查语境理解。从后面的education及第七段中的she made it through the class可知此处指课程。
9. B考查行文逻辑。从后句but I wasn’t及下文内容可知其他同学擅长打排球，而我打得很糟。
10. D考查生活常识。根据常识可知，排球比赛中，通常要把排球击到空中，由其他人将球打到对方场地。所以答案为D。
11. C考查生活常识。通过球网上方把球打到对方半场，不是穿过、经过或打进球网。故选C。 12. B考查行文逻辑。她担心如果失败会当众丢脸。

13. D考查词语辨析。一个年轻男子察觉到她当时的困境。用sense察觉到比较贴切，其他选项均与语境不符。
14. D考查语境理解。此处用whisper 表示他小声地对她说。前三项分别意为警告、叹息和命令，均不符合语境。
15. B考查语境理解。由Come on. You can do that可知此处指的是鼓励。
16. D考查行文逻辑。她自己不确信是否向对方表达了谢意。本句中的 perhaps一词提供了暗示。
17. A考查行文逻辑。根据下一句可知她永远没有忘记那句话。
18. D考查行文逻辑。她坚信那个年轻人不知道他的善意对她而言意味着什么。 19. B考查词语辨析。句意为：你不知道这些话会在对方心中停留多长时间。此处强调状态，而 A 强调动作C表示事物原来已经存在。故答案为B。
20. C考查词语辨析。那四个简单的词语仍然回响在她的耳边，其他选项不合语境。
