Question

【題目】

Jose Cruz’s South Texas community is 99 percent Spanish. Although their dependence on Spanish could be seen as something that makes life in America more difficult, Jose and his high school classmates found a way of turning the disadvantage into an advantage. They founded the Spanish Immersion Institute ( 學(xué) 院 ). The institute allows visitors from around the country to live with a local host family and attend classes. The four-week program is run by local youth (most of the program’s tutors are teenagers, while many students are adults), and the goal is to develop cross-cultural understanding. Jose is now studying pre-med at Yale University and hopes to become a doctor.

Though only in her late teens, Krisina Ivanova has been a gymnast(體操 運(yùn)動(dòng)員) for seven years. After six years of gymnastics training in Russia, she knew she wanted to be part of the troupe (劇團(tuán)) after her father joined. When another performer left, she auditioned and got the job. Being with the circus has provided her with some unusual opportunities. She has been able to travel all over the world. And unlike many kids, Kristina is trilingual. She speaks Russian, English, and French, the language used in Cirque du Soleil schools.

As a rising star in the world of professional golf, Se Ri Pak earned the nickname “The Magic Princess.” At 20, the rookie has become one of the youngest players to win a major match. Most amazingly, she accomplished this after playing the game for only six years. When she won, the president of South Korea sent his personal congratulations. The success comes as no surprise to Se Ri, however. She had predicted that she would win tournaments during her first year in major matches.

【解析】

文章大意：Jose Cruz的南德州社區(qū)99%是西班牙人。盡管他們對(duì)西班牙語(yǔ)的依賴可以被看作是使美國(guó)生活更加困難的事情，但何塞和他的高中同學(xué)找到了一種將劣勢(shì)轉(zhuǎn)化為優(yōu)勢(shì)的方法。盡管克里斯蒂娜·伊萬(wàn)諾娃只有十幾歲，但她已經(jīng)當(dāng)了七年體操運(yùn)動(dòng)員。在俄羅斯接受了六年的體操訓(xùn)練后，她想加入劇團(tuán)。她說(shuō)俄語(yǔ)、英語(yǔ)和法語(yǔ)。作為職業(yè)高爾夫界的后起之秀，塞麗柏贏得了“魔法公主”的綽號(hào)，20歲的她成為最年輕的贏得一場(chǎng)重要比賽的球員之一。她獲勝時(shí)，韓國(guó)總統(tǒng)親自向她表示祝賀。然而，這一成功對(duì)塞里來(lái)說(shuō)并不奇怪。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Jose is now studying pre-med at Yale University and hopes to become a doctor. 何塞現(xiàn)在在耶魯大學(xué)攻讀醫(yī)學(xué)預(yù)科，希望成為一名醫(yī)生�？芍�，故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Although their dependence on Spanish could be seen as something that makes life in America more difficult, 盡管他們對(duì)西班牙語(yǔ)的依賴可以被看作是使美國(guó)生活更加困難的事情，可知，A是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)She speaks Russian, English, andFrench, the language used in Cirque du Soleil schools. 她說(shuō)俄語(yǔ)、英語(yǔ)和法語(yǔ)，這是太陽(yáng)馬戲團(tuán)學(xué)校使用的語(yǔ)言�？芍�，C是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)She had predicted that she would win tournaments during her first year in major matches. 她曾預(yù)言她將在第一年的主要比賽中贏得比賽。可知，D是錯(cuò)誤的，故選B。

【3】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)As a rising star in the world of professional golf, Se Ri Pak earned the nickname “The Magic Princess.”At 20, the rookie has became one of the youngest players to win a major match. 作為職業(yè)高爾夫界的后起之秀，塞麗柏贏得了“魔王公主”的綽號(hào)，這位20歲的新秀已經(jīng)成為最年輕贏得一場(chǎng)重要比賽的球員之一�？芍�，第三段中的“rookie”是初學(xué)者意思，故選B。

【4】理解猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文字內(nèi)容可知，文章介紹了年輕有為的三名青年。最有可能讀到的地方應(yīng)該是面向青少年的雜志。此空故選C。

【5】推理判斷題。關(guān)于這三個(gè)人，根據(jù)Jose is now studying pre-med at Yale University and hopes to become a doctor. 現(xiàn)在在耶魯大學(xué)攻讀醫(yī)學(xué)預(yù)科，希望成為一名醫(yī)生�？芍狫ose現(xiàn)在還在上大學(xué)，還沒(méi)來(lái)得及為社會(huì)做貢獻(xiàn)。A.是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)Though only in her late teens, Krisina Ivanova has been a gymnast(體操 運(yùn)動(dòng)員) for seven years. 盡管克里斯蒂娜·伊萬(wàn)諾娃只有十幾歲，但她已經(jīng)當(dāng)了七年體操運(yùn)動(dòng)員�？芍�，克里斯蒂娜·伊萬(wàn)諾娃有著不同尋常的經(jīng)歷。但是第一名青年Jose經(jīng)歷沒(méi)有什么不同之處。B是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)As a rising star in the world of professional golf, Se Ri Pak earned the nickname “The Magic Princess.” At 20, the rookie has become one of the youngest players to win a major match. 作為職業(yè)高爾夫界的后起之秀，塞麗柏贏得了“魔王公主”的綽號(hào)，20歲的他已經(jīng)成為最年輕贏得一場(chǎng)重要比賽的球員之一�？芍�，塞麗柏獲得個(gè)人成就。但是Jose及第二名運(yùn)動(dòng)員還沒(méi)獲得個(gè)人成就。故C是錯(cuò)誤的；關(guān)于這三個(gè)人，從文章內(nèi)容可以看出，他們年輕而且有天賦。故D是正確的。
