答案
B
解析
考查强调句型。动词短语find out后接宾语从句，而且这个宾语从句是强调句型的疑问句形式，意为“到底是什么让他成功”。根据句意，从句中疑问词用what，在从句中作主语。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Basketball player Tina Charles grew up understanding the importance of education and of giving back to others. When the WNBA(美国女子职业篮球赛)star and the 2012 US Olympic Women’s Basketball team athlete heard about the chance to fund a school in an African village, she made sure to take part.
Charles first came across the opportunity while she was a sophomore in college. At that time, she didn’t have the funds to help out, but all of that changed when she was drafted to the WNBA. With the help of two charitable organizations — OmniPeace and buildon — Charles funded the entire ＄32 000 cost of the school.
The school, completed earlier this spring, was built in the small village of Ganale in western Africa. Before Charles’contributions, children living in the village were schooled in tiny mud huts. The lack of proper lighting and of proper airflow made it difficult for the students to learn. The new school building is nearly 3 000 square feet and contains three large classrooms. It can fit up to 150 students at a time and is also used for adult literacy classes in the evenings. The school will be a source of learning for generations to come.
Charles undertook this charitable act while playing professional basketball and preparing for the London Olympics. The Olympic Games begin today, July 27, and Charles will play for a team that has won the gold medal in the last four Olympic Games. The first-time Olympic competitor considers her placement on the team, along with 12 fellow female basketball players, a testament to how hard she works.
Whether it is representing her country in the Olympic Games or giving back to the community, Charles is always working hard. “Once you receive, you have to give,”she told Time for Kids, “I wanted to give others the same opportunity I had growing up.”
1. Charles donated to build a school probably because ______.
A. she has earned a large amount of money
B. she thought she should do something in return
C. she had a chance to receive further education
D. she was a famous basketball star in the U.S.A.
2. What made Charles regretful when she was in college?
A. She didn’t work hard at her lessons.
B. She wasted much time playing games.
C. She couldn’t go to school like others.
D. She couldn’t afford to build a school.
3. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Children couldn’t learn anything at school.
B. Many adults are interested in learning.
C. Even villagers can learn in the new school happily.
D. The new school is made up of several parts.
4. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that Charles ______.
A. plays an important part in her team
B. is always busy doing something important
C. is sure to gain a gold medal in the Olympics
D. is getting along well with her female players
