【解析】

试题分析：作者讲述了自己在老师的帮助下写作得到很大的进步，在作者做一名教师后，又把这种对学生的帮助用到自己的学生身上，取得了明显的成效。

1.前面提到“我对自己的写作成绩很失望”，因此这里是表示“我”和Dr Caldwell讨论“我的写作成绩”。 选A

2.从下文“allowed me to rewrite my paper”以及“My grade improved”可以看出，这里指给“我”提了许多建议(suggestions)。solution“解答”；approach“方法”；means“手段”；均不符合句意。选D

3.考查副词：句意：我的成绩有了提高，但是我还（still）不是十分满意。句中的“but”是重要信息词。选A。

4.考查词组： talk...into“说服某人做某事”；put...into“将……注入；投入”；turn...into“使……成为”；throw...into“把……扔进”。由语境可知，答案选C。

5.考查形容词：tough“坚韧的”；detailed“详细的”；rough“粗略的”；general“一般的”；草稿应该是粗略的，故答案选C。

6.it takes sb.some time to do  sth.意为“某人花时间做某事”。其他选项均无此结构。选B

7.此处意为“而且考德威尔先生还鼓励我当一名老师”。encourage“鼓励”；force“强迫”；prevent“阻止”；beg“恳求”。故答案选A。

8.考查名词：从下文内容看，此处表示“我最难忘的经历(experience)”。experiment“试验”；example“例子”；moment“时刻”；均不符合句意。选B

9.考查副词：从上句“He was unable to add, minus, multiply, or divide”可知“达尼尔远远落后于他的同学”。选项中只有behind符合句意。选A

10.考查名词：既然“He was far behind his classmates”，因此“他需要个别关注(attention)”。 选D

11.考查连词：依据句意，这里表示“当我开始上课时”， while引导的从句中，谓语动词应是持续性动词或状态动词。答案选A。

12.考查形容词辨析。由“Darnell was very quiet”以及“I was becoming frustrated”可知，“他对学习不感兴趣(uninterested)”。involved“有关联的”；concerned“关切的”；interested“感兴趣的”，均不符合句意。选D。

13.考查动词：A． conveyed传达B． submitted递交C． learned 学习D． accomplished完成， accomplish a goal意为“达到目标”。 选 D

14.考查动词： open up to sb.“对……畅所欲言”；look up to sb.“尊敬某人”；walk up to sb.“走近某人”；come up to“达到”。由语境可知，答案选B。

15.考查动词： “...became absorbed in his work. His progress began to show through”，那么他的成绩一定大大“提高”(improve)了。选C

16.考查名词：A． trouble 困难B． patience耐心C． fun乐趣D． difficulty困难，依据上下文，此处表示“我们学数学乐趣无穷”。 选C。

17.考查形容词：由“created many games and played them”可知，这样的教学方式一定会使达尼尔觉得更“有趣(enjoyable)”。 选D

18.考查动词：联系上下文可知，此处意为“一旦他得到这种我所能给他的一对一的照顾，他的成绩立刻就会提高”。receive“得到”，其他选项均不符合句意。选B
