Question

  When Kristi was born,the doctor pointed out that her feet were turned inward (向內扭曲) ."Left 1      ,it would be a problem," he told us.

  We did our best to help our baby. When she was only two weeks old,I brought her back to the doctor,just as he had 2        and the doctor put her 3        feet into casts. Because she was growing,I had to take her 4        to the doctor every two weeks to have each foot recast.

  5       the casting was finished,and it was time for 6        shoes and bars. Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she 7        to walk. Those first,awkward steps made us so 8       . When she entered preschool,her steps appeared quite 9       . Encouraged by her progress,we looked for something else to help 10        her poorer body.

  As it 11,she loved the ice！

  When she 12        six,we entered her in skating lessons and soon she was gliding like a swan. We watched in 13        as she skimmed the ice. She worked hard at every new movement. She loved the ice and her dedication 14       . At the senior World Championships in 1991,she won the women's singles!Then we found ourselves filled with love and 15        in France,at the 1992 Winter Olympics,as our daughter,Kristi Yamaguchi won the gold medal.

  I thought back to the early years of 16       for Kristi―the years of frustration for her as a child who simply wanted to 17      the endless doctor visits;the first baby steps with bars and corrected shoes. We 18       her strength and dedication,and how far she had come on two tiny feet that had once been 19        in heavy casts. In our eyes,Kristi had always walked with the 20        of a true champion.

Answer 1

1. C此句是一個虛擬語氣句，后面有would be, 所以前面應該是if it were left...的省略形式。句意為"如果不矯正,那么就會有麻煩"。故用uncorrected。

2. A句意為：按照醫(yī)生的囑咐。direct表示"指導"。

3. D孩子小的時候，腳也非常小，所以用tiny"很小的"。后文的"because she was growing ..."

也有提示。

4. C由上文可知醫(yī)生把孩子的腳打上了模具，所以說以后"我"每兩個星期都要帶她到醫(yī)院去重新上模具(recast) 。

5. C eventually意為"最終，最后"。在此處表示"最后，這一種治療方法結束了 "。

6. C corrective意為"糾正的，矯正的"，放在此處意為"用特制的鞋子和短杠進行矯正"。

7. A struggle to do sth.意為"努力做某事"，符合題意。

8. B看到孩子邁出第一步，父母在一旁覺得很激動。

9. C本句是說:她走路時看起來已經非常正常了。一般用normal來表示"身體健康的，正常的"。

10. B句意為：我們決定找一些其他的方法來增強她的體質。在此處用動詞strengthen ,意為

"增強"。

11. A turn out意為"結果……"，后可接從句。根據(jù)句意,此處表示"結果是她愛上了滑冰"。

12. D表示"到……歲"時用系動詞turn。

13. C看到女兒像天鵝一樣在冰上滑行,我們感到很驚訝。in wonderment意為"驚嘆"。

14. A這里用pay off表示"補償，回報"(to be successful) ，后文也說明了這一點。

15. C此處表達父母看到孩子成功時的心情，感受到他們對孩子的"愛"和對她不怕困難、戰(zhàn)勝自我的"欽佩和欣慰"。

16. B由破折號后的內容可知，"我"回憶起前些年女兒所面臨的"挑戰(zhàn)"。

17. A由前面的simply可以推斷，這里是說"行走"。

18. B我們敬佩她的力量和努力。

19. B bound是bind的過去分詞，意為"捆，縛"，SP"被束縛著"。

20. C在父母的眼中，女兒從沒有缺陷，她一直是以一個真正的冠軍的優(yōu)雅姿勢走著。二、閱讀理解語篇導讀:在我們懵懂無知時,我們會取笑捉弄他人。作者也曾經被捉弄，而且她還加人取笑另外一個女孩子的行列。多年后，作者回憶往事充滿愧疚。
