Ⅰ.阅读理解

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.

C．Because her home country of Poland forbade her to 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。]
