Question

9．Not so long ago，most people didn't know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to become．She was just an average high school athlete．There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future．However，one person wants to change this．Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness．Her time were not exactly impressive，but even so，he seemed there was something trying to get out，something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking．He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons．Their cooperation quickly produced results，and a few year later at Jamaica's Olympic games in early 2008，Shelly Ann，who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world，beat Jamaica's unchallenged queen of the sprint（短跑）．
"Where did she come from？"asked an astonished sprinting world，before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time，only to disappear again without signs．But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder．At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold．She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton，becoming world champion with a time of 10.73---the fourth record ever．
Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile．She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance．Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless．She grew up in one of Jamaica's toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse，where she lived in a one-room apartment，sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers．Waterhouse，one  of the poorest communities in Jamaica，is a really violent and overpopulated place．Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings； one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived．Sometimes her family didn't have enough to eat．She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn't afford shoes．Her mother Maxime，one of a family of fourteen，had been an athlete herself as a young girl but，like so many other girls in Waterhouse，had to stop after she had her first baby．Maxime's early entry in to the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty．One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track，and she was ready to sacrifice everything．
It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse．On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008，all those long，hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit．The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty，surrounded by criminals and violence，had written a new chapter in the history of sports．
But Shelly-Ann's victory was far greater than that．The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing，the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped．The dark cloud above one of the world's toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days．"I have so much fire burning for my country，"Shelly said．She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse．She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons．She intends to fight to make it a woman's as well as a man's world．
As Muhammad Al i puts it，"Champions aren't made in gyms．Champions are made from something they have deep inside them．A desire，a dream，a vision．"One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth．

Answer 1

分析 本文講的是關(guān)于牙買加著名女飛人Shelly-Ann的故事--介紹了其貧困的出身（母親甚至因?yàn)橄胱屗�脫離貧困而打算帶她去臥軌自殺），從不被人看好到成為奧運(yùn)冠軍，再到最后成為世界上跑的最快的女性．激勵(lì)我們要想成功必須要經(jīng)過艱苦的努力．

解答 【答案】65．B  66．C 67．C 68．B 69．D 70．A
【解析】
65．B 推理判斷題．由第一段Her time were not exactly impressive，but even so，he seemed there was something trying to get out，something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking．可知，是看到了其他教練沒有看到的潛能．因此選項(xiàng)為B．
66．C 推理判斷題．由第二段的關(guān)鍵句she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time，only to disappear again without signs．（她只是曇花一現(xiàn)中的其中一個(gè)，很快就會(huì)無聲無息地消失．）可知選項(xiàng)為C．
67．C 推理判斷題．在第三段中可以找到．Maxime's early entry in to the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty．（Maxime過早地踏入成人社會(huì)，責(zé)任心驅(qū)使她決定讓自己的孩子免于貧窮），而由前文內(nèi)容可知，他們當(dāng)時(shí)非常貧困．因此可推知答案為C．
68．B  深層理解題．由第五段的句子She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse．She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons．She intends to fight to make it a woman's as well as a man's world．可知她是想為自己的國(guó)家做更多的事情．因此答案為B．
69．D  深層理解題．拳王阿里的話"Champions aren't made in gyms．Champions are made from something they have deep inside them．A desire，a dream，a vision．"表明求生的欲望促使冠軍的誕生．因此答案為D．
70．A 標(biāo)題概括題．本文介紹了牙買加著名女飛人Shelly-Ann從不被人看好到成為奧運(yùn)冠軍，再到最后成為世界上跑的最快的女性．激勵(lì)我們要想成功必須要經(jīng)過艱苦的努力．故A項(xiàng)正確．BCD三項(xiàng)的范圍有點(diǎn)過大，與文章不貼切．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做本題時(shí)，首先需要通讀全文，把握文章的主旨大意；其次，快速瀏覽后面的題目，并結(jié)合問題到文中相應(yīng)的段落去尋找答案；另外，本文問題的設(shè)置旨在考查對(duì)全文或段落的主旨大意的概括上，因此在平時(shí)的閱讀訓(xùn)練中，要學(xué)會(huì)找文章的中心段，或段落的中心句，并加以概括，從而提煉出文章或段落的主旨大意．
