【回答】

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者的堂妹因为有点儿胖和学业成绩不是很好被别人取笑，从而对成年人产生了一些抵触和不信任。她却对作者讲的一个故事感兴趣，作者感慨一个陌生人的生活影响了小女孩的心灵。

1.D　根据上文中的“a little bit fat and doesn't do really well at school”可推知，作者的堂妹有点胖，学业成绩不是很好，因此被人取笑。tease “取笑”。故选D。

2.C　根据上文内容并与该句中的“resistance”相呼应可知，她对成年人产生了一些抵触和不信任(distrust)，而这些人通常也不对她抱太大希望。

3.A　根据下文中的“There were paintings” “show”可知，作者和堂妹一起去参观了艺术展览。故选A。

4.D　根据下文中的“for the paintings she liked most were also the best of the show”可推知，堂妹的眼光非常敏锐(sharp)，她喜欢的画是展览中最好的。

5.C　根据设空后的“the chairs and table for a sharing session”并结合选项可知，她自愿去帮着布置桌椅。故选C。

6.C　与上文“voluntarily helped”相呼应可推知，作者参加分享会的时候，堂妹和新朋友一起画画，还很高兴地(cheerfully)帮作者从另一个房间拿包。

7.B　此处指上文堂妹为作者拿包这件事，故选B。

8.B　这在家里是不常见的，因为她总是在看iPad。glue意为“黏合”，be glued to sth.为固定短语，意为“全神贯注看着某物”，故选B。

9.C　作者买了一本由一位母亲写的书，书中记录(record)了她和患有自闭症的儿子的故事。

10.D　由设空前的“briefly”及下文中的“asking me to tell more stories”可知，在回家的公交车上，作者简要地把这本书介绍给堂妹。故选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，让作者惊讶的是，堂妹确实很感兴趣。truly意为“确实地”，故选D。

12.A　由上文提及书中的男孩患有自闭症可知，此处表示书中的男孩努力应付生活中的小事。struggle with sth.为固定短语，意为“与某事做斗争”。

13.A　由下文中的“seen her so interested”可推知，即使话题转移到别的地方，她也坚持要多听听这个男孩的故事。这是作者第一次看到她对一个话题如此感兴趣。insist on意为“坚持”，故选A。object to “反对”。

15.B　由上文作者第一次看到堂妹对一个话题如此感兴趣可知，通常当她和作者谈话时，她描述的是学校和家里发生的事情，没有明确的重点。clear “清晰的”，符合语境。故选B。

16.A　作者感动于一个陌生人的生活进入了堂妹的内心。touched意为“受感动的；受触动的”，故选A。

17.B　这个男孩和表妹并不认识，因此是陌生人。故选B。

18.D　由上文书中人物的生活能进入堂妹的内心可知，作者非常感谢书籍的力量。

19.A　根据设空后的“I can keep seeing clearly the wonderful things in her”并结合选项和常识可知，作者希望能一直看到堂妹身上的美好。pray “强烈地希望”，故选A。

20.B　与第一段叙述的堂妹被别人取笑对应，此处表示每当这个不那么友善的世界贬低她时，作者就能提醒她，她一直都是很棒的。put sb. down是固定短语，意为“批评某人，使某人出洋相”。故选B。
