【文章大意】本文講述了一心想成為職業(yè)沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)員的Bethany Hamilton在被鯊魚咬掉一只胳膊以后繼續(xù)為自己的夢想而努力，最后取得了成功的故事。文章告訴我們，只要努力，什么樣的困難都可以克服。

D 根據(jù)后文的"Cheerfully, she was lying on her surfboard …"可知她決定和朋友去沖浪。

A 根據(jù)下文"…she loved and…to try professional surfing again."可知她想成為職業(yè)的沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)員。故A正確。

C突然一只鯊魚咬住了她的左胳膊，并咬著她前后擺動(dòng)。touch觸摸；strike打擊；bite咬，撕咬；take拿走。

A根據(jù)"...her left arm…"可知鯊色咬住了她的胳膊，導(dǎo)致她失去了她的左胳膊。

D根據(jù)下文"…it attacked only once."可知鯊魚只攻擊了她一次，因此她很幸運(yùn)。

C這次襲擊是如此快以至于她都沒有來得及尖叫。think 思考；fight戰(zhàn)斗；scream尖叫；escape逃脫。

B當(dāng)她游回海灘的時(shí)候，她的朋友都以為她在開玩笑。但是當(dāng)他們看見血的時(shí)候，立刻就過去幫助她了。

A因?yàn)閹缀跏�去了一半的血，她的幸存是一個(gè)奇跡。sur-vival幸存；courage勇氣；accident事故；injury受傷。

B她想要做的不僅僅是幸存下來，還要繼續(xù)追尋沖浪的夢想。rather than而不是；more than不僅僅better than比……

C exciting令人興奮的；dangerous危險(xiǎn)的；inspiring激勵(lì)人心的；adventurous冒險(xiǎn)的。隨著電影的發(fā)行，她鼓舞人心的、真實(shí)的故事引起人們更廣泛的注意。[拓展延伸] 佳句賞析It never crossed my mind that I might never get on a surfboard again.分析：本句中的it是形式主語，真正的主語是后面的主語從句that I might never get on a surfboard again 連接詞that弓|導(dǎo)這個(gè)主語從句，但不能省略。句意：我從未想過我再也不能踏上沖浪板。

After volunteering inThailandin the 2004 earthquake and helping homeless survivors who had lost everything .

分析：本句中After volunteering in Thailand in the 2004 earth?quake and helping homeless survivors是連詞和現(xiàn)在分詞連用，相當(dāng)于狀語從句或Having volunteered  ； who had lost everything 是定語從句，修飾前面的先行詞homeless survivors 句意：在2004年在泰國做志愿者幫助那些在地震里失去一切的、無家可歸的幸存者之后…… 

更好；other than除 ...之外。

D be able to do sth有能力做某事。這里指她是否有能力再去沖浪。lucky幸運(yùn)的；strong強(qiáng)壯的；suitable合適的。

C結(jié)合上文可知，她一直都沒有放棄繼續(xù)沖浪的夢想，以及后面"..I had decided -'"時(shí)態(tài)為過去完成時(shí)，所以她在出院之前就決定繼續(xù)沖浪。

B在家人的幫助下，她在被鯊魚攻擊之后僅僅一個(gè)月就又一次踏上了沖浪板。manage to do sth成功做成某事。

A下文"…that broke her surfboard."說明她遭遇了危險(xiǎn)的波浪，使得她的沖浪板斷了。 be caught in "遭遇……"，符合語境。[技巧點(diǎn)撥]利用固定搭配解題。

B她嘗試著使用人造胳膊，但是結(jié)果證明這也是沒有用的，仍然無法讓她繼續(xù)從事沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)。helpful有幫助的； useless無用的；wonderful很棒的；meaningless沒有意義的。[技巧點(diǎn)撥]利用but, however等表示轉(zhuǎn)折意義的詞，結(jié)合語境迅速確定答案。

D 根據(jù)下文"…h(huán)elping homeless survivors who had lost everything..."可知她去做志愿者幫助那些在地震里失去家園的人。

A reconsider重新考慮；remember記得；recognize認(rèn)出；re?call 回憶。 她又重新考慮放棄自己所喜歡的運(yùn)動(dòng)的決定了， 并決定再一次嘗試成為職業(yè)的沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)員。

C語境同上。refuse拒絕；start開始；decide決定；continue繼續(xù)。

D 根據(jù)"when she won a world championship years lat-er."可知她的努力得到了回報(bào)。

B后來她又獲得好幾個(gè)榮譽(yù)。gift禮物；honour榮譽(yù)；re-ward酬勞，酬金；praise表揚(yáng)。

C exciting令人興奮的；dangerous危險(xiǎn)的；inspiring激勵(lì)人心的；adventurous冒險(xiǎn)的。隨著電影的發(fā)行，她鼓舞人心的、真實(shí)的故事引起+人們更廣泛的注意。
