Ms Monika Kajstura kept encouraging me and telling me that I could do it. I decided to better myself. With the encouraging support,wonderful teaching,and tireless help of Ms Monika,I achieved my goal and received my GED in November of 2006. I made it. Because of the adult education program and Kilgore College,my life has significantly (明顯) and even improved. Being able to go to school makes me feel important.

身為祖母和媽媽的瑪麗，退休后繼續(xù)去大學(xué)深造，并且最終取得了 GED

1. C細節(jié)理解題。由第一段so I decided to get my GED知，瑪麗離開工廠后的目標是取得GED.

2. B細節(jié)理解題。第二段可知，瑪麗剛上大學(xué)感覺緊張的原因是她已離校多年，對于年齡不算小的她重新學(xué)習深造，是否可以拿到學(xué)位讓她很有壓力。

3. C 細節(jié)理解題。由“I started classes in January of 2006 和received my GED in November of 2006”可以計算出，瑪麗花費了十個月獲取她的GED.

4. B推理判斷題。由第二段第五句“With the encouraging support,wonderful teaching,and tireless help of Ms Monika. ”可知多虧了莫妮卡老師的鼓舞和幫助，瑪麗 最終取得了 GED.

5. A詞義猜測題。由后面介紹兩個女兒都在上學(xué)，花費很大，丈夫努力工作賺錢，可知在瑪麗上學(xué)時，家里不堪重負。

障礙句分析：

   With the encouraging support,wonderful teaching,and tireless help of Ms Monika,I achieved my goal and received my GED in November of 2006. 在莫妮卡老師鼓舞人心的支

持，精彩的教學(xué)，孜孜不倦的幫助下，我實現(xiàn)了我的目標，并 在2006年11月拿到了我的GED

   with引導(dǎo)的是伴隨狀語；主句是帶并列謂語的簡單句。

抓住選項特點，準確解答細節(jié)理解題

   細節(jié)理解題的選項很有特點:通常正確答案不是 照搬的原文。而干擾選項則正好相反：有的來自原文 信息，但不是題目要求的內(nèi)容；有的符合常識，但不 符合原文內(nèi)容;有的與原句內(nèi)容極為相似，只是在程 度上有些變動；有的與原文大相徑庭甚至完全相反； 也有的是部分正確或部分錯誤。

   在解答第2題的時候，選項A與原文相符，但只 是題干的部分原因；選項C是短文暗含的內(nèi)容，也只 是題干的部分原因;選項D符合思維常識，但不是題 干的原因；只有選項B符合原文內(nèi)容。

If you put the sand into the jar first,there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks”. “The same goes for your life.
