答案以及解析

L答案:l.C;2.B;3.D;4.A

解析：1.細節(jié)理解題。由第一段“JohnchangedtoourschoolfromGreece,andseemedto

beinterestedinsports,soIencouragedhimtojoinourtrackteam.”可知，作者看到John似

乎對體育感興趣，因此鼓勵他加入田徑隊。說明作者對John的運動方面的興趣給予更

多的關注。故選C。

2.細節(jié)理解題。由第一段最后一句"Heacceptedtheoffer,andbegantoworkhardatevery

practice."可知John接受了他的老師的鼓勵而參加了田徑隊。故選B。

3.主旨大意題。由最后一段最后一句Tvefoundthatasimple“Itrustthatyoucandoil!”

cangoalongway!”可知，鼓勵是非常重要的。故選Do

4.推理判斷題。由最后一段“ItoldittoafriendandshesuggestedIwriteitdowntoshare

somewherewithmoreteachers.”可知,這篇文章主要是寫給老師的。故選A。

2.答案：l.D;2.C;3.A;4.C

3.答案：1-4.BADC

解析：1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Inaspecialschoolforthehearing-impaired（聽覺受

損的）,helearntsignlanguageandgottomixwithotherdisabledchildren.“可知，在一所特

殊的聾啞學校里,他學會了手語，并與其他殘疾兒童打成一片。由此可知,Adrian在特殊

學校里和其他孩子交流是用手語。故選Bo

2.細節(jié)理解星頁。根據(jù)第一段中“Shewantedhimtoleadanormallife.Soafterspeakingto

anadvisor,shesenthimtoprivateclasseswherehelearnttoreadlipsandpronounce

words”可知,Adrian的母親希望他過正常的生活。因此,在詢問過一位顧問后，她送他去

小班授課上課，在那里他學會了讀唇語和發(fā)音。再根據(jù)第二段中“Lateron,Adrian's

parentsdecidedtosendhimtoaregularschool.”可知,后來,Adrian的父母決定送他去正

規(guī)學校。由此可知，他的父母是希望他過正常的生活，才送他去正規(guī)學校。故選A。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“Itwasabigchallenge.Thepacewasfastersohehadtosit

atthefrontoftheclassandreallypayattentiontotheteacher,whichwasn'talwayseasy.

Buthestucktoitanddidalotofextraworkafterschool."可知，那是一個極大的挑戰(zhàn)，上

課的節(jié)奏很快，因此他必須坐在最前排，并且注意力要非常集中，那并不容易，但他始終

堅持，在課后還花了很多工夫。由此可知,Adrian不管是在課堂上還是在課后都付出了

很多努力,就是這樣他才能最終在學業(yè)上取得了成功。故選Do

4.推理判斷題c根據(jù)第一段中“whenhisparentsrealiyedthathe,asahahy,couldn'theara

thing,notevenloudnoises”可知,他的父母發(fā)現(xiàn)，在他還是嬰兒時，就什么也聽不到，即使

是噪音。再根據(jù)第三段中“Adriangraduatedwithgoodgradesandgotintoatophigh

school.Healsoachievedalotinlifeoutsideschool.”可知,Adrian以優(yōu)異的成績畢業(yè)并進

入了一所重點高中。他在學校之外也獲得了許多成就。綜合可知,Adrian生來殘疾，但

他通過自己的努力、父母的幫助，卻做到了常人都難以做到的事，他是成功的，所以這就

是他的生活為什么被比喻成是AmazingR
