(答案→)C
解析：文章大意：作者上五年级的时候碰到一位老师Mrs. Barrow, 我当时并没有感到跟老师有多亲近。 她让同学们在纸上写下自己的理想以便毕业后回来再分享这时的梦想，于是我开始喜欢老师。在奶奶的葬礼上，老师来参加并安慰我而且还送来了盆常青藤。我至今还养着它，看到它就会感受到老师的关爱。
【小题1】C 数词辨析。根据空所在的句子she liked them to e back and their fifth-grade dreams together可知，此时作者刚刚上五年级。所以选择C。
【小题2】A 形容词辨析。根据上文说自己在找教室的时候一个劲重复着老师和教室的名字，而且是第一天来，所以可以推断作者此时心情很紧张（nervous）。B伤心的；C.生气的；D.惊讶的。所以答案选A。
【小题3】D 名词短语辨析。因为刚到这个教室来上课，所以当作者走进教室时，都是陌生面孔，感到自己很不合适。A.出毛病的，杂乱无章的；B心不在焉的；C.失控的；D不合适的，不在适当位置的。所以选择D。
【小题4】B 名词辨析。根据下文40个空后面提到seat，所以选择B、pick your seat指“选个座位”。
【小题5】C 形容词辨析。老师让我找个座位，所以要找个没人的空位。A好的；B干净的；C空的；D漂亮的。所以选择C。
【小题6】A 连词辨析。 然而，我并没有感到与老师的亲近。空格在句末，所以要用副词。虽然四个选项都可以做连词，A尽管；B尽管；C如果；D当……时候，尽管。但是只有though可以用作副词“可是，虽然，然而”。所以答案选A。
【小题7】D 介词辨析。“写在纸上”介词用on，所以答案选D。
【小题8】B 形容词辨析。当她以前的（former）学生毕业后，她喜欢让他们再回来…A完美的；C慢的；D普通的。所以答案选B。
【小题9】C 动词辨析。结合上句…回来后分享（share）他们当年上五年级的梦想。A腾出，省出；B带来；D处理。答案选C。
【小题10】D 动词辨析。一个月以后，奶奶死于癌症。所以这时作者失去（lose）奶奶感到很伤心难过。A想；B有；C照料。此句考查到动名词做主语。
【小题11】A 动词辨析。因为伤心所以没有上学，自然就落下一些课。此处school指“学业”，所以miss some school指“落课”。A错过，思念；B忘记；C离开，leave school指“毕业”；D缺少。所以答案选A。
【小题12】B 考查副词辨析。根据常识，在奶奶的葬礼上，作者应该是一直跪着的，头是低下的。所以此处指抬头看到老师…A look around环顾四周；B look up抬头看；C look down低头看；D look out向外看。所以答案选B。
【小题13】D 动词辨析。老师握着（hold）我的手安慰我…A shake one’s hand与某人握手；D hold one’s hand握住某人的手。所以答案选D。
【小题14】C 名词辨析。根据or前面的pain（疼痛），所以与此并列可以选出suffering（痛苦，苦楚）。句意：老师安慰我说，奶奶得了癌症，去世了，其实是一种解脱，她不再那么痛苦了。A高兴；B惊讶；C痛苦，受难；D失望。所以答案选C。
【小题15】A 代词辨析。句型“It never occurred to me that…”指“我从没有想到…”。It做形式主语，代指that引导的主语从句。句意：我从没有想到，这对奶奶来说更好。
【小题16】B动词辨析。葬礼之后，妈妈交给（hand）我了一棵漂亮的常春藤。A掉下，落下；B 传递，交给；C呈献，赠送；D提供。所以答案选B。
【小题17】A 动词辨析。常春藤上附着一张纸条，写着… 表示纸条或信息等写着什么用read，不用write。
【小题18】C 动词辨析。看了老师留的便条，我感动地想哭（cry）。
【小题19】D 副词辨析。我现在上八年级了，但我依然（still）养着这棵常青藤。A甚至；B然而；C也。所以答案选D。
【小题20】B 动词辨析。我从没有想到一个老师会如此关爱（care）她的学生，现在我知道了。A学会；C服务；D提供。所以答案选择B。
