A
Some people would go through anything just to achieve their dream. Kasia Siwosz is proof.
Born in Poland, Siwosz began playing tennis at seven years old and developed the skills that helped her earn a top50 ranking among the ITF Junior division (国际网球联会青少年赛). Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education.“There's no collegiate (大学的) sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic study there. You can only do one, not both,” Siwosz said.
Her desire to have a quality education led her to America to follow her dream. While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply to fouryear schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland.
When she had earned all her credits and was able to transfer, Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas. Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university, saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor. “I thought it would be a good idea, but it really wasn't what I thought it would be,” Siwosz said. “I wasn't happy at Baylor. The level of tennis was high, but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.”
After one year at Baylor, Siwosz's luck finally began to change when she made the decision to transfer to Berkeley, which was due in large part to Lee, a former Berkeley student. Lee, who is a keen tennis player himself, met Siwosz four years ago in Texas. “I knew she was unhappy there,” he said. “I saw the opportunity for her to come here.” Siwosz visited Lee in Berkeley. “I ended up loving this place and this school,” Siwosz said. “I came here a lot over the summer, I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了波兰女孩卡西亚·西沃兹去美国追求接受高等网球教育这一梦想的故事。
1.Why did Siwosz want to leave her homeland for America?
A.Because Poland had no culture of sports.
B.Because Berkeley had always been her dream
university.
C.Because she wanted to play tennis and have a good education.
D.Because she wanted to improve her tennis skills and get a higher ranking.
解析:C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education. ‘There's no collegiate (大学的) sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic study there.’”可知,西沃兹想要做的不仅仅是打网球,这让她去寻找机会,让自己获得顶尖的教育,而波兰没有大学体育,也没有体育文化和学术研究,再结合第三段中的“Her desire to have a quality education led her to America to follow her dream.”可知,她渴望接受高质量的教育,这使她来到美国追寻自己的梦想,由此可知,西沃兹之所以离开祖国去美国是因为她想打网球并接受良好的教育,故C项正确。]
2.Why didn't Siwosz take Baylor as her first choice when she first arrived in America?
A.Because the level of tennis in Baylor was not high.
B.Because it was too late for her to apply to a school like Baylor.

D.Because Baylor was not suitable for international students.
解析:B [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply to fouryear schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland.”可知,虽然西沃兹才华横溢,可以在大学开始自己的网球生涯,但她只能上社区大学,因为她错过了申请四年制学校的最后期限,主要是因为她的祖国波兰提供了错误信息,由此可知,西沃兹初到美国时没有把贝勒作为自己的第一选择是因为她申请贝勒这样的学校已经太晚了,故B项正确。]
3.How did Siwosz feel in Berkeley?
A.She was unhappy there.
B.She had difficulty in keeping up with others.
C.She enjoyed studying there.
D.She regretted going there.
解析:C [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Siwosz visited Lee in Berkeley. ‘I ended up loving this place and this school,’ Siwosz said. ‘I came here a lot over the summer, I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.’”可知,西沃兹在伯克利大学拜访了好友李,说自己最终爱上了这所学校,最终接受了伯克利的教育,并进入了美国最好的大学网球队之一,由此可知,西沃兹很喜欢在伯克利大学学习,故C项正确。]
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How Siwosz realized her dream.
B.How Siwosz left Poland.
C.How Siwosz became a tennis player.
D.How Siwosz transferred from Baylor to Berkeley.
解析:A [主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是第一段内容可知,有些人为了实现梦想而不惜一切代价,卡西亚·西沃兹就是一个例子,下文就讲述了她去美国追求自己接受高等网球教育这一梦想的故事,故A项正确。]

Born in Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan Province, to a Canadian missionary family in 1915, Crook came into the world.While Isabel Crook's parents were engaged in setting up schools and education institutions in Southwest China, Crook herself was more interested in anthropology (人类学) and the many ethnic minority peoples in China. She was very curious about what was going on around her.
At the age of 23, Crook graduated from a Canadian college with a master's degree and began carrying out field research in Li County of Sichuan Province. In 1947,Crook and her journalist husband were warmly welcomed by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to observe and study the revolutionary land reform taking place in China. In 1948 the couple accepted an invitation from CPC leaders to teach at a newlybuilt foreign affairs school. The school was the forerunner of today's Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), which has seen over 400 ambassadors (大使) and 1,000 counsellors (参赞) walk through its doors. As a teacher at BFSU she laid the foundations for foreign language education in China.
As two of the first three foreign teachers at the school, Isabel and David Crook brought new Western teaching methodologies to the classroom. Michael Crook noted that since some students were extremely poor during the 1950s and 1960s, his parents were especially sensitive to their situation and did what they could to help them while protecting their selfesteem. For example, they would bring food such as eggs and bread for picnics and share them with students who brought steamed corn bread.
According to the younger Crook, because of his parents' belief in communism, they chose to use political texts as their teaching materials, such as works once admired by Karl Marx. Understanding that the students would become diplomats representing the People's Republic of China, his parents tried to help students gain knowledge in different fields to better prepare them for communicating with foreigners in English.
On December 15, 2018, Isabel got the award of “The Most Influential Foreigner throughout 40 Years of China's Development” from the Chinese government. On September 17, 2019, Isabel was awarded “the Friendship Medals” by the Chinese government for her lifetime of devotion to China.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Isabel Crook为中国的外语教育做出了卓越贡献并且被中国政府授予“中国发展40年来最具影响力的外国人”的称号以及“友谊勋章”以表彰她对中国的贡献。
5.What did Isabel Crook independently do?
A.Teaching English.
B.Performing field research.
C.Helping the poor students.
D.Introducing new Western teaching ways to China.
解析:B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At the age of 23,Crook graduated from a Canadian college with a master's degree and began carrying out field research in Li County of Sichuan Province(23岁时,Crook从加拿大一所大学毕业,获得硕士学位,开始在四川省黎县进行实地研究).”可知,Isabel Crook个人进行了实地研究。]
6.Why did his parents use political texts as teaching materials according to the younger Crook?
A.Because they themselves were crazy about Chinese politics.
B.Because they wanted to spread the spirits of Karl Marx.
C.Because they had to teach many objects including politics.
D.Because they believed in communism and wanted to prepare students for overall development.
解析:D [细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,Isabel Crook的父母用政治课本作为教材的原因是他们信仰共产主义,希望为学生的全面发展做准备。]
7.What can we infer from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A.In the 1950s, Crook's husband worked as a reporter in China.
B.Isabel and her husband taught students only in Western teaching methods.
C.Isabel Crook made great contributions to China's foreign language education.
D.Isabel Crook and her husband were very rich at that time.

8.Which of the following can best describe Isabel Crook?
A.Caring. B.Patient.
C.Strict. D.Romantic.
解析:A [推理判断题。通读全文以及文章最后一段可知,Isabel Crook为中国的外语教育做出了巨大贡献并且被中国政府授予“中国发展40年来最具影响力的外国人”的称号以及“友谊勋章”以表彰她对中国的贡献,由此可以推出,选项中的词caring (感到关怀或关心的)最能描述Isabel Crook,故选A。]
