【要点综述】本文是一篇记叙文。作者以第一人称描绘了热油烫伤了“我”的头，让“我”变成了秃头，从此“我”一直很自卑。但比“我”受伤更严重的斯蒂芬妮的话鼓舞了“我”，让“我”勇敢面对。“我”之所以变得快乐，因为“我”已经意识到是一个人的人格(个性)塑造了真正的自我。

11．C　考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。根据下文描述可知，热油烫伤了“我”的头，让“我”变成了秃头，留下了伤疤。hat帽子；scarf围巾，头巾，披巾；scar疤，伤痕，创伤；cut伤口，一块，肉片。

22．A　考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。在那里“我”遇见了斯蒂芬妮，她比“我”有更严重的烧伤。“遇见”了斯蒂芬妮，所以用met。

23．B　考查形容词的用法。从来没有让任何人把她打垮，所以她的内心是十分强大的，故选strong。

24．D　考查动词短语辨析及语境理解。别人说你是什么样子的话，自然是用耳朵来听。所以选listento。
