She kept writing to one company 14 , because she liked the types of books it printed. "He kept saying, 'It's just a list, what am I supposed to do with it? ..... You're not 15 to do anything with it. It's 16 supposed to remind people of something they did that was really 17 ."

1. A. jump B. fail C. turn D. push
答案：B 指导：fallover"摔倒在……，被绊倒”，从前面她的脚太大可知。jumpover"跳越”；turnover"翻转”；push一般不与 over搭配。
2. A. nearby B. around C. watching D. laughing
答案：C 指导：此处是说在别人，通常是一个“帅小伙”的注视下，她往往因为不自在而摔倒。watch"注视、留意”，符合题意。根据常识可排除“大笑”，人们看到长相丑的人不可能“大笑”，而是好奇地“注视”。
3. A. dressed B. lived C. thought D. looked
答案：D 指导：人们嘲笑的是她的长相，theway后跟的是定语从句，省略了引导词inwhich／thato从前文她长相难看这一点可排除其他选项。
4. A, silly B. special C. different D. shy
答案：C 指导：人们嘲笑她，不仅因为她长相“不一样”，而且因为她想法“不一样”。此处special"独特的”，不一定指缺点；从后文可知，她并不“愚蠢”，因此不选A；D项太片面。
5. A. how B. when C. because D. where
答案：B 指导：when引导表语从句说明事情发生的时间。此处不表示事情发生的原因、方式或地点，根据下文的提示可排除其他选项。2018广东高考
6. A, reminded B. told C. persuaded D., helped
答案：A 指导：日记只能是“提醒”她生活中还有好的一方面。B、C两项作主语的一般是人；help后面不跟从句。
7. A. because B. but
C. unless D. even though
答案：D 指导：作者此处强调的是日记的作用，eventhough／if引导让步状语从句，意为“即使”，符合此处的逻辑关系。本题干扰性最大的是but，如果用eventhough作者想强调的是前者，生活中还有美好的东西；如果用but，作者强调的是后者“一切都不令人愉快”。
8. A. adding B. finding C. making D. giving
答案：A 指导：因为是写日记，所以每天都“添加”一些新的东西。从“写日记”这个角度可排除其他选项。
9. A. talk B. discuss C. share D. write
答案：C 指导：她想让同学们了解她日记的内容，因此也就是“分享”。日记是让别人看，而不是跟别人“讨论”。
10. A. then B. naturally C. further D. instead
答案：D 指导：从后面她又受到同学的嘲笑看，此处应是转折关系，表示“没有怎么样，而……”。此处表示转折关系，其他不合逻辑。
11. A. continued B. stopped C. enjoyed D. hated
答案：B 指导：从前面她感到羞愧以及连词and可知，她“停止”了写作。从连接词and所表示的关系，可排除其他选项。
12. A. cool B. important C. difficult D. funny
答案：A 指导：cool"酷的”，此处是文章的转折，后文叙述的是她最终获得了成功。此处作者强调的不是“重要”，不能说前面的部分不重要，后面的部分重要。其他两个选项不合题意。
13. A. find out B. pick up C. think of D. give up
答案：B 指导：pick叩当“重新干……”，从前面她一度停止写作，可得出此答案。find OUt"弄清事情的真相”；think of“想出，想起”；giveup"放弃”都不符合题意。
I4. A. in generalB. at first C. in particularD. at last
答案：C 指导：inparticular"特殊的”，一般的后置定语或状语。此处指她专门为一家公司
写作。in general",总的说来”，用于对事物的评价；at first"起初”，含有后来不这样做的意思；atlast"最后”，说明的是最终的结果。
15. A. made B. going C. advised D. supposed
答案：D 指导：be supposed to do可表示推测，意为“预计会……”，或命令，意为“应该”。此处表示命令。Bemade to do意为“被迫……”；beadvisedto意为“被建议……”。
16. A. often B. just C. also D. always
答案：B 指导：此处强调日记的作用“仅仅”是提醒人们他们所做的事情有意义。此处强调日记的作用或目的就“一个”，由此可排除其他选项。
17. A. excellent B. successful C. fun D. true
答案：C 指导：fun此处当“有趣、有意义”讲。“优秀的，好极了 的”“成功的”“真的”都不是作者强调的中心。
18. A. hoped B. agreed C. refused D. considered
答案：B 指导：从前面的Finally看，此处指出版商最终“同意”给她出版。refuse，hope不合题意；considerdoing表示“考虑干……”，因此consider不合搭配。
