Question

    I remember the day that I was changed into a new class and I felt unwanted.

The first day that I was in my class, my table didn’t talk to me and I didn’t either. The next  day in that class, the teacher let me sit next to this girl who had her pierced ears, lips and nose. She said, “You’re new to class, aren’t you? Well, my name is Ashley.” I looked at her for a second and then said, “Hi.” She knew that I was shy. She introduced me to the rest of the table loudly, who didn’t look nice, but then again I thought Ashley was wild when I saw her up close.

That whole week the other girls at my table would look at me like a hungry animal who was to kill its prey (猎物) and they whisper to one another about my looks and how I wasn’t wanted in this class.

One day I felt upset and Ashley asked, “What’s wrong?” I didn’t answer but she found out that I went through bullying (威逼), and depression. Then I told her what was up. She said, “I thought you were a rich girl with good grades and no problems, but I was wrong.” The rest of the table heard about the real me and they apologized for what they had said.

Later, Ashley introduced me to new people who had gone through the same things that I had. Thanks to Ashley, I was no longer alone in the world. And that same day I met Perla, my best friend now, who taught me not to judge others on their appearance. I really understood it from Ashley.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者到新学校遭受到不友好的同学，但是一个貌似很凶悍的女生改变了她的故事。由此可知：不要因为外表来判断一个人真实的性格。

1.细节理解题。根据“I remember the… I felt unwanted.”可知，当转到新班级里，作者觉得她不受欢迎，lonely孤独的；shy害羞的；sad伤心的；welcome受欢迎的。故选D。

2.词义猜测题。根据横线前后以及后文“She introduced me to the rest of the table loudly”可知，全班没有人跟作者说话，是阿什莉把她介绍给了全班同学，所以table在这段指的是“同学”。故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据“the teacher…ears, lips and nose.”以及“She introduced me…when I saw her up close.”可知，作者觉得阿什莉的耳朵、嘴唇和鼻子都穿孔，而且她还大声地把作者介绍给其他同学，这让作者觉得她很粗野、野蛮。故选C。

4.细节理解题。根据第三段一整段以及第四段“The rest of … what they had said.”可知，其他同学对作者很不友好，评论她的长相之后，说她是多么得不受欢迎，当同学们知道真实的她，她们为自己说过的话道歉。故选D。

5.推理判断题。根据最后一段“who taught me not to judge others on their appearance”可知，作者的朋友告诉她不要以貌取人，这是她从阿什莉的身上学到的；No pains, no gains.没有付出就没有回报；Rome was not built in a day.罗马不是一天建成的；Never judge a book by its cover.不要根据书的封面来判断一本书的好坏；The harder you work, the luckier you get.越努力，越幸运，C选项意思接近。故选C。
