No One Words But My Own

The  classroom was full of those of us who wanted to work on the school newspaper. 1 didn’t write a lot. but working on the paper sounded like fun. I ____the idea of being a reporter, interviewing my friends, and covering middle school events.

To be chosen, we had to turn in an example of our ____ . I wrote an article

about the joys of summer,and showed it to my father,a talent poet he read it and  frowned (皱眉）.

“It’s okay.” my father said, taking out a pencil “But how about changing this sentence to ..." And as a result, he rewrote the whole piece—without me, for 1 never said anything to _____ him.

No surprise—his version(版本）was _____ . He had a gift for language. It was so much better than my piece that I turned in his version instead of mine.

"Welcome to the Dundee School News," my teacher said to me. But before 1 could be ____ about the news, he added, “ Based on that excellent article you wrote about summer, I expect you to write a personal opinion article every week for the second page of the paper."I was so surprised!. I was unable lo write at that level, but I couldn’t tell the_____ to the teacher, and I couldn’t ask my father for help, either.

That term working on the paper was really painful. And my teacher clearly expressed his ____.

“Can’t you write something more  like the first piece you wrote?”he said ,each time 1 turned in my article.

I couldn't, because at that age, I didn't have my fathers ability and experience as a writer. Week after week, I tried hard, but my writing never _____ the  level of the first article.

At last, to my total shame, another student took my place. I ____ that my father rewrote my first article himself, instead of simply trying to help me to improve it .But in my heart I knew it was my fault （错误）because I allowed him to do it. Later,I did become a successful writer on my own.looking back,I realized that the pain and shame of that school experience had a ____ side. It taught me to depend on myself and be myself.So every day,I try to use my own words,find my own style and be my own best self.It feels great.

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：本文主要讲述了作者想要加入学校报社，写了一篇文章让很有天赋的诗人的父亲修改，最终修改了很多，成为了他父亲写的内容了。作者通过这一篇让他人大加赞赏的文章进入了报社，被要求每周写一篇个人评论，可是作者无论怎样努力都写不出当初的那一篇好文章，最后他通过自己不断用自己的语言，自己的风格写作而成为了一名优秀的作家。

1.C考查动词及语境理解。句意：我喜欢当记者的主意。gave 给；shared 分享；liked喜欢；welcomed欢迎。文中讲大家都想成为报社一员，作者也喜欢这份工作。所以选C。

2.B考查名词及语境理解。句意：想要被选入报社，我需要上交一份写作样品。report 报道；writing 写作；homework 家庭作业；newspaper报纸。想要被选入报社，当然需要上交的就是一份写作。所以选B。

3.B考查动词及语境理解。句意：因为我从来没有说什么阻止他。help帮助；stop停止；allow允许；praise赞美。作者让父亲帮忙改作文，却改成了全篇都是父亲的笔迹，因为作者没有阻止他。所以选B。

4.D考查形容词及语境理解。句意：毫不意外，他的版本是精彩的。different 不同的；common 普通的；popular 受欢迎的；wonderful精彩的。前文讲到作者的父亲是一位很有天赋的诗人，当然他的作品就会很棒。所以选D。

5.A考查形容词及语境理解。句意：我兴奋地得知这个消息。excited 兴奋的；worried 担忧的；nervous 紧张的；confident自信的。被告知自己进入了报社，作者是兴奋的，激动的。所以选A。

6.A考查名词及语境理解。句意：但我不能告诉老师真相。truth 真相；excuse 借口；feeling 感觉；answer回答。作者上交的文章不是自己写的，而是父亲写的，所以他不能告知真相。所以选A。

7.D考查名词及语境理解。句意： 老师很明显的表达了他的失望。honesty诚实；patience耐心；hope 希望；disappointment失望。最初上交的文章很棒，可是自己在工作中却怎么也写不出好文章，故老师是失望的，所以选D。

8.B考查动词及语境理解。句意：但我从来没有达到第一篇文章的水平。set 设置；reached到达； raised提高；changed改变。根据句意结合语境可知该选B。

9.D考查形容词及语境理解。句意：我抱怨父亲只是帮我写，而没有教会我应该怎么写。agreed 同意；realized 意识到；remembered记得；complaine抱怨。根据that my father rewrote my first article himself, instead of simply trying to help me to improve it .可推知这里应该是在说“抱怨”，所以选D。

10.考查形容词及语境理解。句意：我意识到学校的这次痛苦的羞耻的经历也有好的一面。magic魔术的；serious严肃的；bright明亮的；strange奇怪的。根据后一句It taught me to depend on myself and be myself.可推知此处指也有好的一面，所以选C。

考点：考查故事类短文。
