1.1.
A company
B village
C park
D
解析:选B。根据语境,刘正成长于河北省的一个小地方,结合选项,“company”(公司)、“park”(公园)均不符合常理,“village”(村庄)符合语境,说明他来自小村庄,所以选B。
2.2.
A because
B although
C so
D
解析:选C。前半句说他有一个更大的梦想——有一天成为一名律师,后半句说他努力追随梦想,前后是因果关系,“because”(因为)表原因,“although”(虽然)表转折,“so”(所以)表因果,这里用“so”合适,所以选C。
3.3.
A early
B late
C quietly
D
解析:选A。前文提到他晚上从5点工作到午夜,后半句说去旁听法律课程,结合选项,“early”(早地)符合语境,说明他第二天早上依然早起去听课;“late”(晚地)、“quietly”(安静地)不符合此处逻辑,所以选A。
4.4.
A refused
B invited
C drove
D
解析:选B。根据“Many teachers gave him the latest textbooks”(许多老师给了他最新的教材)以及“to audit their courses”(去旁听他们的课程),可知老师是邀请他去听课,“refused”(拒绝)、“drove”(驱使)不符合语境,“invited”(邀请)符合,所以选B。
5.5.
A lazy
B shy
C confident
D
解析:选C。结合前文刘正努力追求成为律师的梦想,老师写的话应该是祝福他成为自信的律师,“lazy”(懒惰的)、“shy”(害羞的)不符合语境,“confident”(自信的)符合老师对学生的期望,所以选C。
6.6.
A geography
B law
C music
D
解析:选B。文章围绕刘正追求成为律师的梦想展开,他学习的是法律相关知识,“geography”(地理)、“music”(音乐)与主题无关,“law”(法律)符合,所以选B。
7.7.
A gave out
B gave away
C gave up
D
解析:选C。前文说他考试失败了六次,后半句说最终在2022年通过了,“gave out”(分发;耗尽)、“gave away”(赠送;泄露)不符合语境,“gave up”(放弃)符合他虽然失败多次但从未放弃的意思,所以选C。

C discovered
D
解析:选A。根据“began working at a top law firm in Beijing”(开始在北京一家顶级律师事务所工作),可知他是离开了学校,“left”(离开)符合语境,“visited”(参观)、“discovered”(发现)不符合,所以选A。
