Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Marie Curie,born in Sklodovka,Poland in 1876,led a hard life as a girl.Her parents,both teachers,had small salaries and were quite poor,especially after her mother stopped teaching to raise five children and take care of her poor health.Marie's mother suffered from tuberculosis(肺结核) and died of it when Marie was ten.
When Marie was small,she showed great interest in science.She loved to study and hoped to become a scientist when she grew up.Her parents encouraged her interest in science.Excellent as she was in her studies,she couldn't go on with the advanced education she needed because Poland was then ruled by Russia and women were not permitted to go to college.
In order to continue her education,she smoothed away many difficulties and entered Paris University,where she lived a simple life and studied hard,so she graduated with the highest grades in her class.
After graduation she was engaged in scientific research in Paris University.There she met Pierre Curie,whom she married.Pierre joined her in her research into an unknown phenomenon “radiation” (辐射),which a certain scientist had declared that uranium (铀) gave off.The Curies spent several years trying their best to find the element that produced radiation.Finally they succeeded in 1902.
Marie Curie won two Nobel Prizes,one for physics in 1906,together with her husband and another scientist; the other for chemistry herself in 1911.Madame Curie was a scientist of great achievement,and the first woman ever to be honored in the Nobel Prize history.

解析 A 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了居里夫人的人生中一些重要的事情。
B
I grew up poor.We had little money,but plenty of love and attention.I understood that no matter how poor a person was,he could still afford a dream.My dream was athletics.
By the time I was sixteen,I was good at baseball and football.My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis.He not only believed in me,but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).
One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket-money for a new bike and new clothes,and the start of savings for a house for my mother.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule,and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing.I was dreading (害怕) this,but my mother said,“If you make your bed,you have to lie in it.”
When I told Coach Jarvis,he was as mad as I expected him to be.“Your playing days are limited.You can't afford to waste them,” he said.
“How much are you going to make at this job,son?” he demanded.
“$3.25 an hour,” I replied.
“Well,” he asked,“is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”
That question made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal.I devoted myself to sports that summer,and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball,and offered a $ 20,000 contract.I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million,and bought my mother the house of my dream.
[解题导语] 本文是一篇记叙文。作者在上学期间的一个暑假里想放弃练习打棒球去打工。而教练最终说服他继续为实现自己的梦想而奋斗。最后,凭借自己的努力,作者梦想成真。
5.The writer was grateful to Coach Jarvis,because Jarvis .
A.made him set a goal
B.supplied him with new clothes
C.gave him financial support
D.helped him show belief
解析 D 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句中的“taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction”可知,作者能取得后来的成功就是因为教练教会了他仅仅有梦想是不够的,更重要的是要有坚持不懈的信念。故选D项。文章中没有提到教练让作者制定目标,教练也没有给他提供新衣服,也没有给他资金方面的帮助,所以排除A、B、C三项。
6.When the boy was offered a job,he wanted to .
A.balance summer baseball and the work schedule
B.refuse the job offer for summer baseball
C.give up summer baseball for the job
D.ask his coach Jarvis for advice
解析 C 细节理解题。由第四段的第一句“Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule,and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing.”可知,刚开始作者自己作出了决定,即停止棒球练习而去打工,没有征求教练的意见,故选C。
7.Which of the following can replace “If you make your bed,you have to lie in it.”?
A.You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.
B.Believe in yourself,but above all be patient.
C.You must rely on yourself first,then others.
D.A good beginning makes a good ending.
解析 A 句意理解题。前面说作者想到要告诉教练停止棒球练习时就感到害怕,but表示转折含义,所以根据语境可知,妈妈是在告诉作者既然作出了决定,就要敢于承担后果。A项意为“你必须吃下自己种的苦果”;B项意为“相信自己,但最重要的是要有耐心”;C项意为“你必须先依靠自己,再依靠别人”;D项意为“善始者善终”。所以A项的表述与语境相符。
8.The end of the story was that the writer .
A.failed to buy his mother a house
B.succeeded as a sportsman
C.became a successful businessman
D.made some money in the summer job
解析 B 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“...I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball,and offered a $20,000 contract.”和“I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million...”可知,作者在体育运动方面成功了,并且得到了回报,最后给妈妈买了梦想中的房子。故选B项。其余三项均与原文的表述不符。
