【参考答案】
A　1—5　BACBA　6—10　BCCAC
B　[主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文。讲述的是作家罗斯和她的孙女莉莉两人彼此交流上学经历的故事。莉莉过去常常自我感觉有唱歌的天赋,然而后来班里来了个比她唱歌更好的女孩,她感到很困惑;她的奶奶罗斯讲述了自己曾经类似的经历,罗斯的班里有个比她写作能力更强的女孩,但是罗斯努力比那个女孩做得更好,最后她成功了。文章告诉我们:不要盲目羡慕别人,做最优秀的自己。
1.C　根据语境及短文的最后一句“she hasn't written a best-selling book yet.”可知罗斯是一位作家,推断本句句意为:罗斯告诉她的孙女,在她三十几岁时曾经写过一本最畅销的书,故用名词book,意为“书”。故选C。
2.B　根据上文“莉莉的奶奶曾经写过一本最畅销的书”可知莉莉在询问她的奶奶:“你一直知道你想要成为一名作家吗?”故用名词writer,意为“作家”。故选B。
3.B　根据上下文可知,成为作家是罗斯一辈子的追求,故推断本句句意:我在我上小学的第一天就知道这一点。故用already,意为“已经”。故选B。
4.A　根据上文“I used to be sure that I would be a singer”可知,莉莉过去相信自己一定会成为一名歌手,由此可推断本句句意:我过去在班里唱歌是最好的。故用used to,意为“过去常常”。故选A。
5.C　根据上下文可知,班里新来的女孩在唱歌方面比“我”强多了。故推断本句句意:因为她远远超过我,那么我追求唱歌还有什么意义?故用动词try,意为“尝试;努力”。故选C。
6.C　根据上文“She was always the best writer.”可知,她在班里写作是最好的,故推断本句句意:因为考虑到我不再是写作最好的学生,我常常哭泣。故用cry,意为“哭”。故选C。
7.A　根据上文可推断罗斯不再是写作最好的学生,只是一个无足轻重的人。故用nobody,在此意为“无足轻重的人”。故选A。
8.B　根据上文“…, it was about the very best that I could be.”可知,罗斯意识到她不应该强力追求做超越任何人的最优秀者;而应该力求成为最优秀的自己,故推断本句句意:因此我坚持着自己对写作的爱好。故用动词follow,意为“跟随;接着;继承”。故选B。
9.B　根据上文可推断,罗斯对自己曾经取得的成就感到很自豪、欣慰,故推断本句句意:罗斯微笑着说。故用smile,意为“微笑”。故选B。
10.A　根据上文中的“Who knows”可判断本句句意:但是有一件事我敢确信,她还没有写过一本最畅销的书。故用sure,意为“肯定的;确定的”。故选A。
