Marty Dunn first saw Alexandra soon after she arrived in the United States and was put in an orphans’ home. She was four years old but 1 no more than three. She was only half the usual weight 2 her age. Her upper jaw（上顎）developed 3 ，but the lower one froze her mouth shut.
Three months later，Alex was given an operation on her jaw in a big hospital by Marty Dunn himself. The operation was quite a success. After nine 4 Alex had a functioning（可活動的）jaw. The next day the little girl was able to open her mouth. It was really a wonder！For the first time ever，Alex 5 . It lit up the room.

One day in late November 1986， more than two years after Alex had arrived at the 8 ，the family went to a nearby restaurant. After their meal， Mrs. Dunn turned to the little girl.
“Alex，”she said，“you know we all 9 you. We’d like you to become our 10 and to be called Alexandra Dunn. Would you like that？

The day that Alex had been 12 for several years finally arrived in June the year before last. For the first time in her young life，Alex had a full set of teeth. She looked at her parents and said，“I’m the luckiest girl in the world！”

答案及解析
1. C 雖有四歲，但從外表上“看起來”還不足三歲。
2. B for意為“相對于……來說”，合乎文意。
3. B normally意為“正常地”，與下顎的不正常形成對比。
4. B 從“The next day...”可推知，手術(shù)當(dāng)天Alexandra就能活動下顎了。
5. C A、B與下一節(jié)首句矛盾。D不合邏輯。C（smiled）含義有二，一是Alexandra以前因下顎發(fā)育不正常而致整個嘴閉合，所以無法正常地“笑”，現(xiàn)在終于可以笑了；二是生理上的殘疾終被去除，她感到萬分喜悅，情不自禁地笑了。
6. B 與下句形成比較，speak a word相當(dāng)于speak，但前者語氣更強。余者與下句無關(guān)。
7. D 另三項不合行文邏輯。
8. A 依據(jù)下面所有文字可推知。
9. A 從Mrs. Dunn的話中可知，她全家都“愛”Alexandra。
10. B 從“she looked at her parents...”中可得到暗示。
11. D proved（后來證明是），stayed（保持）不合文意。called意為“稱呼，把……叫做”，這里須在其前面加上be動詞才合乎邏輯。
12. C 這里的waiting用作及物動詞，意為“期待”。B（looking）不及物，不能帶賓語，A、D不合文意，這三項不能選用。
B
Directions：Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.
Humans are responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and species（物種）. We take up more space on Earth for our homes and cities. We pollute habitats（棲息地）. 13 illegally hunt and kill animals. All of these activities take resources and habitats away 14 plants and animals.
Human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive. 15 human populations are growing so fast， animals and plants are disappearing many times faster 16 they have in the past 65 million years.
Animals and plants have always had a 17 ime surviving. Animals became extinct（滅絕的）in the past for a wide variety of reasons. In some cases，competition for resources among animals led to extinction and in 18 cases，environmental changes caused extinction. Fortunately，we humans are beginning to realize our mistakes， 19 we could destroy everything on Earth. We must not only use our knowledge and abilities to manage the Earth，but to make the Earth 20 safe and healthy place where all animals and plants—including humans ourselves—can live.
