【回答】

篇章導讀：本文是一篇記敍文。作者的堂妹因為有點兒胖和學業成績不是很好被別人取笑，從而對成年人產生了一些牴觸和不信任。她卻對作者講的一個故事感興趣，作者感慨一個陌生人的生活影響了小女孩的心靈。

1.D　根據上文中的“a little bit fat and doesn't do really well at school”可推知，作者的堂妹有點胖，學業成績不是很好，因此被人取笑。tease “取笑”。故選D。

2.C　根據上文內容並與該句中的“resistance”相呼應可知，她對成年人產生了一些牴觸和不信任(distrust)，而這些人通常也不對她抱太大希望。

3.A　根據下文中的“There were paintings” “show”可知，作者和堂妹一起去參觀了藝術展覽。故選A。

4.D　根據下文中的“for the paintings she liked most were also the best of the show”可推知，堂妹的眼光非常敏鋭(sharp)，她喜歡的畫是展覽中最好的。

5.C　根據設空後的“the chairs and table for a sharing session”並結合選項可知，她自願去幫着佈置桌椅。故選C。

6.C　與上文“voluntarily helped”相呼應可推知，作者參加分享會的時候，堂妹和新朋友一起畫畫，還很高興地(cheerfully)幫作者從另一個房間拿包。

7.B　此處指上文堂妹為作者拿包這件事，故選B。

8.B　這在家裏是不常見的，因為她總是在看iPad。glue意為“黏合”，be glued to sth.為固定短語，意為“全神貫注看着某物”，故選B。

9.C　作者買了一本由一位母親寫的書，書中記錄(record)了她和患有自閉症的兒子的故事。

10.D　由設空前的“briefly”及下文中的“asking me to tell more stories”可知，在回家的公交車上，作者簡要地把這本書介紹給堂妹。故選D。

11.D　由下文中的“She kept asking me to tell more stories” “This is the first time I've seen her so interested”可知，讓作者驚訝的是，堂妹確實很感興趣。truly意為“確實地”，故選D。

12.A　由上文提及書中的男孩患有自閉症可知，此處表示書中的男孩努力應付生活中的小事。struggle with sth.為固定短語，意為“與某事做鬥爭”。

13.A　由下文中的“seen her so interested”可推知，即使話題轉移到別的地方，她也堅持要多聽聽這個男孩的故事。這是作者第一次看到她對一個話題如此感興趣。insist on意為“堅持”，故選A。object to “反對”。

15.B　由上文作者第一次看到堂妹對一個話題如此感興趣可知，通常當她和作者談話時，她描述的是學校和家裏發生的事情，沒有明確的重點。clear “清晰的”，符合語境。故選B。

16.A　作者感動於一個陌生人的生活進入了堂妹的內心。touched意為“受感動的；受觸動的”，故選A。

17.B　這個男孩和表妹並不認識，因此是陌生人。故選B。

18.D　由上文書中人物的生活能進入堂妹的內心可知，作者非常感謝書籍的力量。

19.A　根據設空後的“I can keep seeing clearly the wonderful things in her”並結合選項和常識可知，作者希望能一直看到堂妹身上的美好。pray “強烈地希望”，故選A。

20.B　與第一段敍述的堂妹被別人取笑對應，此處表示每當這個不那麼友善的世界貶低她時，作者就能提醒她，她一直都是很棒的。put sb. down是固定短語，意為“批評某人，使某人出洋相”。故選B。
