She attended the gvernment schl near her hme until she was eighteen.和第二段中When she finished schl,she went first t Britain. Then a year later she went t India, where she began t train t be a teache.可知Mther Teresa 在Yugslavia, Britain和 India接受教育。
2. C 解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知她先去 Britain,然后去了 India訓練,后來做老師,成為校長,再后來成為護士,幫助窮人和垂死者。
3. A 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù) began her wrk helping the pr and cmfrting the dying in the streets f the city 可知她放棄做校長而做了護士是為了照顧窮人。
4. B 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句可知她獲得諾貝爾和平獎是因為她對窮人的愛護和服務(wù)。
二、
5. C 解析:聯(lián)系前半句“為了使她的技術(shù)完美”我們知道,她每周要訓練五天,每天訓練四個小時,因此,此處要用trains(訓練)一詞。
6. A 解析:That’s especially impressive.的原因是she is legally blind,前后是因果關(guān)系,因此,此處用 since引導原因狀語從句。
7. A 解析:前文提到她的眼睛有毛病,因此,此處指“她看不出不知道東西離她有多遠”,要用tell一詞,can’t tell意為“不知道,看不出”。 guess猜; assume假定假設(shè); predict預(yù)測,均與語境不符。
8. D 解析:她媽媽無意中注意到她即使看不清東西,她也不害怕,因此,此處要選D項,指“無意中注意到”。suspect懷疑; remember記住; imagine想象,均不符合語境。
9. B 解析:文章第三段就提到了,她視力有問題,看物體時出現(xiàn)疊影,看不清物體離她有多遠,因此,此處要選well。
10. B 解析:通篇都在敘述Lla練習體操,此處用 the sprt指代gymnastics。
11. C 解析:因為她視力有問題,很明顯她學習體操比其他隊友要困難( difficult)。
12. D 解析:她是一個很有決心的女孩,她不會讓她自身的狀況阻止她做她想做的事情。由文章內(nèi)容可知,此處是指“她視力有問題”這一自身狀況,因此選用cnditin一詞,意為“條件”。 talent才能; quality品質(zhì); nature本性,均不符合語境。
13. C 解析:由本段后面的內(nèi)容可知,由于她在看物體時有疊影,常??吹絻蓚€平衡木,所以平衡木是她最大的挑戰(zhàn)( challenge)。
14. D 解析:她閉上眼睛是因為她相信( trust)她的然覺,相信它能帶她去她想去的地方。
15. A 解析:因為平衡木只有四英寸寬,因此我們可以說它是最令人害怕的。此處選用 fearful,指“令人恐懼的,令人害怕的”。 harmful有害的; unfair不公平的;incnvenient不方便的,均不符合語境。
16. C 解析:fall ff從……上掉下來,此處指“她在國家級的比賽中沒有從平衡木上掉下來”。后面提到“她得到8.1分—她的最高分”。
17. B 解析:她不想受到與隊里別的女孩不一樣的對待,指“她希望教練能把她當正常的女孩來看待”。因此,此處要選 treated,有“對待”之意。
18. D 解析:上文已提到她有視力方面的間題。
19. A 解析:在隊里她不希望受到特別的優(yōu)待,在打比賽時不想讓裁判知道她視力有問題,這是因為她把自己當成一個正常人,媽媽對她這種樂觀的生活態(tài)度感到很吃驚。 psitive積極的,樂觀的,符合語境。friendly友好的; flexible靈活的; cautius小心翼翼的,均不符合語境。
20. B 解析:整篇文章提到她是個很有決心的女孩,她是水遠不會放棄的。quit退出,放棄。文中第五段提到never quit(水不放棄),這也是關(guān)鍵提示。
21. D 解析:達到9級是她的目標,因此此處選用gal,表示“目標”。后面提到她想成為體操教練,也說明她是個有明確目標的人。
22. C 解析:當她長大后,她要當一名體操教練,把她的所學傳授給別的孩子。 when she grws up為when引導的時間狀語從句。
23. A 解析:be prud f對……自豪; be tired f對…厭倦;be ashamed f對……差愧; be cnfident f對……有信心。她對她所有的努力和成功當然是很自豪的。
24. B 解析:just believe in yurself是她給別人的建議,因此 advice(建議,勸告)為最佳選擇。
