Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His 4 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 5 answered questions — he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his 6 . But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, all 7 her very much.
One morning, we were working on math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 8 the problems with pains-taking tidiness. Pleased with his progress, I 9 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 10 . He'd missed the third problem.

\"Look, Donnie,\" she said, kneeling beside him and gently 12 the tear-stained (弄脏的) face from his arms. \"I've got something to 13 you.\" She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.
\"See these 14 , Donnie,\" she continued. \"They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are 15 ? That's because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That's what you 16 learn to do, too.\"
She kissed him and stood up. \"Here,\" she said, \"I'll leave one of these pencils on 17 desk so you'll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 18 teachers.\" Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.

(15)考查形容词。A. used“使用过的”;B. built“建造的”;C. worn “用旧的”;D. damaged“被损坏的”。橡皮经常用来擦写错的东西,因此是磨损了。be worn当“破损”讲。故选C。
(16)考查情态动词。改正错误再次尝试是你必须要学会的东西,must“必须”说明人的观点和建议,符合题意。故选B。
(17)考查代词。从后面看Mary Anne把一支铅笔放在了Donnie的桌子上,给他以鼓励和启示。与you一致用your,故选D。
(18)考查副词。A. still“仍然”;B. also“也”;C. even“甚至”;D. not“不”。even表示程度更进一步,符合逻辑。“甚至”老师也经常犯错误。故选C。
(19)考查名词。A. pencil“铅笔”;B. words“单词”;C. mistake“错误”;D. desk“课桌”。Mary Anne留给Donnie铅笔的目的是鼓励他不惧怕犯错误,因此,这支铅笔就是被予以期望的物品。故选A。
(20)考查动词。A. warned“警告”;B. informed“告知”;C. persuaded“说服,劝说”;D. reminded“提醒”。Mary Anne通过形象、浅显的方式最终说服了Donnie,使他摆脱了害怕犯错误的心理阴影。故选C。
