Question

【題目】My father used to be an amateur wrestler (業(yè)余摔跤者) and national champion. He was forced by his father to give up the sport in order to obtain gainful employment, which meant he wouldn’t be able to win a medal for our country. Therefore, he made a vow that his unborn son would. 【1】

He was about to give up hope when one day, my younger sister Babita and I beat up two boys accidentally in response to critical comments. My dad found our potential to become wrestlers and began coaching us. 【2】 We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have a short haircuts to avoid lice.

【3】 We would complain about him all the time. Gradually, I realized that he wanted us to have a good future and not grow up to be ordinary housewives. Motivated, we willingly participated in his coaching.

With great efforts, he made us competitive wrestlers and I won the junior and senior championships, providing me with a chance to gain training in a National Sports Academy, where pride and pain fulfilled my mind.【4】 As a result, I found myself losing every match at the international level. After that, I tearfully made peace with papa and turned to him for help. Then he coached me patiently.

Despite difficulty, I finally became the first Indian female wrestler to qualify for the Olympics, inspiring dozens of Indian women to take to wrestling. Even now, papa’s words are still in my mind “Geeta, think about all the girls who are thought to be inferior to boys, girls who are forced to do chores, girls who are married and have children. Not only will you compete with other countries, but also with those who look down upon women!”. I will never forget our father’s instruction. 【5】.

A. But his methods were cruel.

B. I almost gave up what papa had taught me.

C. Disappointingly, my mother gave birth to all girls.

D. My sister and I tried to escape.

E. I will always owe all success to him.

F. At first, my sister and I did not understand our father.

G. However, my mother didn’t agree with him.

【3】F

【4】B

【5】E

【解析】本文是一篇記敘文。“我”的爸爸曾經(jīng)是摔跤運動的全國冠軍，迫于生活他放棄了摔跤，他把所有的希望寄托在將來的兒子身上，但是“我”和妹妹都是女孩。一天爸爸發(fā)現(xiàn)了我們身上的摔跤天賦，并開始對我們進行嚴格訓練，最終“我”成為了奧運冠軍。

【1】爸爸將希望寄托在兒子身上，根據(jù)下一段“He was about to give up hope when one day”可推測，沒有兒子出生，出生的孩子都是女孩。故選C。

【2】本段講述的是爸爸對“我們”的訓練，所以本空很有可能與訓練有關。根據(jù)下一句“We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have a short haircuts to avoid lice.”，女孩被剃掉頭發(fā)是一件殘忍的事，可知爸爸的訓練方式很嚴格，很殘酷。故選A。

【3】本段講述了“我們”對于爸爸的殘酷的訓練方式從不情愿到接受的心態(tài)的變化。本空應該和下一句在情感上保持一致，是抱怨、不理解、不接受的。故選F。

【4】本段主人公是“我”，從下一句“As a result, I found myself losing every match at the international level.”中可知，“我”總是失敗，前文中“我”不斷勝利，拿到冠軍。說明在National Sports Academy的這段時間內(nèi)“我”退步了，故選B。

【5】本段提到了爸爸的話，并且“我”不會忘記爸爸的話。從全文來看，“我”的成功與爸爸是分不開的，成功與爸爸同在。故選E。
