Question

【題目】 I was on a vacation on Star Island. But things were different this year. I was in a wheelchair. My legs couldn’t move because of a rock—climbing accident last summer. Angry and frustrated (沮喪) to walk or climb, I stayed in my room until my grandma said, “Find another topic, Ben.” I wheeled off to finish a photography project for school. In fact, I’d enjoy it if I wasn’t so unhappy.

Near the hotel, I met an older couple, Susan and Mark. They showed me how to use their kayak (皮劃艇) and helped to let me borrow it. They kindly lifted me in and kept their eyes on me as I tried to paddle toward the headland. I experienced a sense of excitement. I felt one with the water. It was almost the same feeling I used to have while I was climbing a rock on the island. This was the same island, but from the water it seemed new. I was sorry that I had left my camera back on my wheelchair with Susan. Mark said she would take photos for us. Then he started down to the beach. I paddle toward him, keeping the boat across the water as Susan suggested. At last, Mark and Susan easily helped me into the wheelchair.

On the following days, I practiced with Mark or Susan. I took my camera out on a calm day and took pictures of rocks and birds. When I got home, I went right to my computer. I hoped that I would find something to use to finish the project. For the first photo, it seemed empty but an empty wheelchair. Then I found the kayak on the water. It really was me, moving on with the spirit flying away from the wheelchair.

The island had worked on my spirit! I had forgotten about the accident and I am happy again.

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述的是作者因為攀巖事故腿受傷而不開心，后來在島上玩劃船拍照又開心起來。主要講的是人的心態(tài)調(diào)整。當(dāng)一扇門被關(guān)上時，試著找到一扇窗。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“kayak”皮劃艇可知此處paddle指的是用槳劃船,故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“My legs couldn’t move because of a rock—climbing accident last summer”可知因為我的腿在攀巖事故中受傷不能動，所以不開心。故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Near the hotel, I met an older couple, Susan and Mark”可知在靠近賓館的地方我碰到蘇珊和馬克。故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Mark said she would take photos for us”可知皮劃艇的首張照片是馬克拍的。故選D。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“so unhappy”和最后一段“I had forgotten about the accident and I am happy again”可知我原本因為事故受傷不開心，后來在島上玩劃船拍照又開心起來。主要講的是人的心態(tài)調(diào)整變化，“When the door is closed, try to find another window”當(dāng)一扇門被關(guān)上時，試著找到一扇窗。故選D。
