Question

    I was in the seventh grade, and we had moved to New Jersey in November. By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in ''Section L''. I found out later that everyone called Section L ''Loserville''. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!

I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that. Anas texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, and I had to try to make things better.

The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!

I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn't, I was still stuck in ''Loserville'', and some people were still mean (苛刻) to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.

But what did change was me — I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!

I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn't so hard anymore. Even though I couldn't change my situation, I could change my attitude — and that made all the difference.

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过改变自己的态度，来改变自己在新学校受到的不公平对待。

1.词义猜测题。根据第一段的I found out later that everyone called Section L ''Loserville''. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. (后来，我发现大家都把Section L叫做Loserville。它是一个公开的秘密，是指那些麻烦制造者和没那么聪明的孩子)和I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!(我曾经一直都是一个好学生，有很好的朋友，而现在大家都认为我是一个失败者)可知，Loserville是指那些麻烦制造者、没有那么聪明的孩子和失败者。B. low achievers(低成就者)符合以上说法，故选B项。

2.细节理解题。根据第一段的I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!(我曾经一直都是一个好学生，有很好的朋友，而现在大家都认为我是一个失败者)和倒数第三段的and some people were still mean (苛刻) to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.(尽管我不碍他们的事，他们对我依然很苛刻)可知，作者向伊利诺伊州的朋友抱怨的原因是受到了不公平的对待。D. she was unfairly treated(她遭到了不公的对待)符合以上说法，故选D项。

3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的But what did change was me — I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends.可知，作者停止对自己感到遗憾并开始交朋友时情况有了好转。C. She began to make friends with others.(她开始与他人交朋友)符合以上说法，故选C项。

4.主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是最后一段的I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn't so hard anymore. Even though I couldn't change my situation, I could change my attitude — and that made all the difference.(有时，我仍然想念伊利诺斯，但这儿的生活对我来说已经没那么困难。尽管我没有改变我所处的环境，但是我可以改变自己的态度，那让一切都不同了)可知，本文主要讲述作者通过改变自己的态度，来改变自己在新泽西州学校受到的不公平对待。B. Say Goodbye to ''Loserville'' (对Loserville说再见)可以作为本文的标题，故选B项。
