阅读理解短文
I watched the earth get smaller and smaller below me.It all looked very far away,especially
given that I was to journey all the way back to the ground with a parachute ()I looked at
the door on the side of the aircraft and thought about why I was there.
Today should have been my granny's 80th birthday.But she passed away from cancer when
she was 76.Milestone birthdays were a big deal for my granny.She marked her 50th year by running
her first marathon,her6 Oth year by learning to swim so she could do her first triathlon(铁人三项),
and her 70th year by jumping out of a plane.I know she was afraid to jump out of the plane that
day,but she wanted to make that jump and met her fear with joy and determination,qualities that
defined how she lived through everything-raising my father and my aunt,marathons,triathlons,
cancer.
I started the day looking at her birthday photos,eagerly wondering what she would do for
today.I wanted to transport myself into the plane with her,ask her everything about how she was
feeling and why she was there,and hear her answering every question I regret never asking her.
Actually,I miss her so much and always find it hard to decide what to do with the big days like
her birthdays.
Feeling lost in my thoughts,I went for a run but only made it a few blocks before I was hit
with an unstoppable thought."I should've gone skydiving today."It came out of nowhere.But
once it was in my head,I couldn't shake it.I pulled out my phone and searched for "skydiving
Oregon".I clicked on the first result and the first thing I saw was blue text on the bottom corner
2
of the website-"Call for same day appointments".That is how I found myself high up at the
back of a plane.
"You can always back out,"my brother reminded me,when I called him on my way to the
skydiving place.But I didn't.Something had kept me going.I just kept seeing my granny,staring
out the plane window,smiling wide.And I had been surprised that it wasn't just fear I was feeling.
As I took off,my smile was as wide as my granny's.
The door slid open.Every nerve ending in my body flashed red.I didn't back out.I wanted to
live the day as my granny would have-in a brave,wholehearted way.Today,that meant jumping
out of a plane.

答案与逐题解析
正确答案:19-22CBAD
19.C (By conquering new challenges.)
考点:细节理解题
语境:文中明确提到奶奶50岁跑第一次马拉松、60岁学游泳完成铁人三项、70岁跳伞,这些
3
都是“征服新挑战”的具体表现。
辨析:A项“制定计划”未提及:B项“家庭聚会”与原文无关;D项“举办比赛”错误,奶
奶是参与而非举办。C项“征服新挑战”准确概括了她通过运动突破自我的庆祝方式。
20.B (she was running around the neighborhood)
考点:细节定位题
语境:文中提到“Feeling lost in my thoughts,I went for a run..before I was hit with an
unstoppable thought.I should’ve gone skydiving today..'”,即跑步时突然产生跳伞的想法。
辨析:A项“看照片时”只是引发回忆,未决定跳伞;C项“网上搜索”是决定后的行动:D
项“打电话给哥哥”是前往途中,均晚于跑步时的决定时刻。
21.A (Fearful but expectant.)
考点:情感态度题
语境:文中描述“Every nerve ending in my body flashed red”体现恐惧,但同时“smile was as
wide as my granny's”“wanted to live the day as my granny would have”表现出对践行奶奶
精神的期待。
辨析:B项“沮丧”、C项“后悔”、D项“犹豫”均不准确,作者虽有紧张,但更多是积极的
期待,与奶奶的笑容形成呼应。
22.D (The only limits to tomorrow are the doubts of today.)
考点:主旨归纳题
语境:作者通过跳伞纪念奶奶,本质是传承她“勇敢、全身心投入”的生活态度,这是对奶奶精
神的最好纪念。
辨析:A项“家的意义”、B项“里程碑是成功阶梯”偏离主题;C项“最好的纪念是传承”未
体现“纪念与传承”的核心。D项“怀疑限制未来”准确概括了作者通过行动延续奶奶精神的
主旨。
