2．You must know what BYD stands for？Yes，Build Your Dream．Have you built your dream and spare no effort to achieve it？Here is an inspiring story from http://www．naijamotiveation．com
    Eddie Arcaro dreamed of becoming the world's greatest jockey（賽馬騎師）．But after watching him ride a horse for five minutes，reality reflected a rough contradiction．He was awkward and clumsy，and in his early years in the saddle he couldn't do one thing right．
    In his first 100 races he never even came close to winning．Still，he got right back on and trained again．Even as a schoolboy，Arcaro had set his own track in life．Because he was only a little over five feet tall （1.5 meters） and weighed barely 80 pounds （36kg），the other students picked on him．So he skipped school，hanging out at the local race track where a trainer let him ride horses．
    His father reluctantly agreed to let him pursue a career as a jockey．The trainer had told him so．"Send him back to school，"he said．"He'll never be a rider．"In spite of that，Arcaro was determined not just to ride，but to become the world's greatest jockey．But first someone would have to give him a chance．
    He finally got to ride in a real race．Before it was over，he'd lost his whip and his cap and had almost fallen off the saddle．By the time he finished the race，the other horses were on their way to the stables（馬廄）．He'd come in dead last．Nevertheless，Arcaro went from track to track，looking for any opportunity to ride．
    Finally，a trainer who pitied him took him in and gave him a chance．One hundred losses later，he was still giving him chances．He saw something in this unlucky jockey，something he couldn't define．
    There were many brushes with death and several broken bones．Every time he would return to the saddle．Then Arcaro began to win．In thirty years of riding，he won 4，779 races，becoming the only jockey in history to win the Kentucky Derby five times．By the time he retired in 1962 he was a millionaire and a legend in his own lifetime．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述了艾迪立志成為賽馬騎師，但由于他的身高并不高而沒(méi)有人給他機(jī)會(huì)，他的教練并不相信他能成為一名騎師，但是他的父親支持著他的夢(mèng)想．最終有一個(gè)教練給了他一次機(jī)會(huì)，在他失敗近一百次時(shí)仍然給他機(jī)會(huì)，而艾迪最終終于成為了一名優(yōu)秀的賽馬騎師，并在三十年中贏得了四千多場(chǎng)比賽．

解答 21．B 推斷猜詞題．由于艾迪身高僅1.5米卻想成為賽馬騎師，這幾乎是不可能的愿望引起了同學(xué)們對(duì)他的取笑，Because he was only a little over five feet tall （1.5 meters） and weighed barely 80 pounds （36kg），the other students picked on him．故選B
22．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第六段Finally，a trainer who pitied him took him in and gave him a chance．One hundred losses later，he was still giving him chances．He saw something in this unlucky jockey，something he couldn't define．可知，教練相信艾迪并給他機(jī)會(huì)是因?yàn)樗�被艾迪追逐�?mèng)想的精神所感動(dòng)，因此愿意給他機(jī)會(huì)．故選D
23．C 理解推斷類．由文章第一段You must know what BYD stands for？Yes，Build Your Dream．Have you built your dream and spare no effort to achieve it？Here is an inspiring story．可知，作者在本文中意在強(qiáng)調(diào)建立夢(mèng)想與追逐夢(mèng)想的重要性，故選C
24．A 理解推斷類．首先要知道文章中主要寫(xiě)了艾迪追逐夢(mèng)想并獲得成功的故事，因此題目應(yīng)該與之有關(guān)，故選A
