【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述史蒂芬薩頓檢查出得了癌癥，但是他沒有傷心，而是列了一個(gè)他計(jì)劃要做的事情的清單，最后，他雖然沒有完成所有的計(jì)劃，但是他的無(wú)私激勵(lì)了許多人，并告訴我們珍惜生命以及幫助他人的重要性。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he decided to make the most of the day and live every second to the fullest“而不是對(duì)他自己感到遺憾，他決定充分利用每一天，且讓他的每一秒變得很充實(shí)”可知，他知道事實(shí)后沒有感到遺憾，排除A；根據(jù)However, his doctors suggested that he take a year off from school, Instead of following their suggestion, Stephen continued with his studies, receiving excellent grades“然而，他的醫(yī)生建議他應(yīng)該休學(xué)一年，他沒有聽從醫(yī)生的建議，史蒂芬繼續(xù)他的學(xué)業(yè)并獲得和極好的成績(jī)”可知，他沒有聽從醫(yī)生的建議，排除C；根據(jù)He didn’t manage to check off all the items on his list, but he did achieve the first item, which was to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust“他沒有完成清單上所有的項(xiàng)目，但是他完成了第一個(gè)目標(biāo)，即為青少年癌癥信托基金籌集資金”可知，最后他沒有完成清單上所有的愿望，排除D；根據(jù)At first, he set out to raise 10,000 dollars for the Trust. However, the passion(熱情)he put into his fund-raising efforts drew the attention of many famous people. In a matter of months, Stephen raised over 3 million dollars.“起初，他打算為信托基金籌集1萬(wàn)美元。然而，他為籌款所投入的熱情吸引了許多名人的注意。幾個(gè)月后，斯蒂芬籌集了300多萬(wàn)美元”可知，史蒂芬籌集的錢比他預(yù)期的要多，故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Stephen had wanted to study hard and become a doctor so that he could make a contribution to the world“斯蒂芬曾想努力學(xué)習(xí)，成為一名醫(yī)生，這樣他就能對(duì)世界做出貢獻(xiàn)”可知，他能夠幫助世界上需要幫助的人，故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)At 15, Stephen Sutton found out that he had cancer. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he decided to make the most of the day and live every second to the fullest“史蒂芬薩頓15歲時(shí)查明他患了癌癥，而不是對(duì)他自己感到遺憾，他決定充分利用每一天，且讓他的每一秒變得很充實(shí)”以及He didn't manage to check off all the items on his list, but he did achieve the first item, which was to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust“他沒有完成清單上所有的項(xiàng)目，但是他完成了第一個(gè)目標(biāo)，即為青少年癌癥信托基金籌集資金”可知，他15歲決定為青少年癌癥信托基金籌資，故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)At 15, Stephen Sutton found out that he had cancer. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he decided to make the most of the day and live every second to the fullest“史蒂芬薩頓15歲時(shí)查明他患了癌癥，而不是對(duì)他自己感到遺憾，他決定充分利用每一天，且讓他的每一秒變得很充實(shí)”、Stephen made a long list, which had goals ranging from skydiving to hugging a huge animal“斯蒂芬列出了一長(zhǎng)串目標(biāo)，從跳傘到擁抱巨型動(dòng)物”、At first, he set out to raise 10,000 dollars for the Trust. However, the passion(熱情)he put into his fund-raising efforts drew the attention of many famous people. In a matter of months, Stephen raised over 3 million dollars“起初，他打算為信托基金籌集1萬(wàn)美元。然而，他為籌款所投入的熱情吸引了許多名人的注意。幾個(gè)月后，斯蒂芬籌集了300多萬(wàn)美元”、Tributes(哀悼)poured in from all over the world, calling him exactly what he was-a selfless and inspiring person.

做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)要先劃關(guān)鍵詞，再根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到文中的某一段即可做出題目。

例如第2題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞want to become a doctor可知，定位至Stephen had wanted to study hard and become a doctor so that he could make a contribution to the world“斯蒂芬曾想努力學(xué)習(xí)，成為一名醫(yī)生，這樣他就能對(duì)世界做出貢獻(xiàn)”可知，他能夠幫助世界上需要幫助的人，故選C。
