　　考点规范练29(必修5　Module 5)

　　.阅读理解

　　Nicolai Calabria has already become one of the best 106-pound wrestlers.He has successfully climbed to the top of the highest mountain in Africa,and most importantly,he’s changed the attitude of any normal person who watches him compete.

　　The 17-year-old teenager has one leg.He was born that way,but his goal is to show it’s not the one thing that defines him.He would also be the first one to tell you that he just wants to prove to others and himself that he’s just like other normal ones.

　　When Calabria was young,his parents tried different prostheses(假肢)to find out which was most comfortable for their son as he tried to keep up with a family,who has a preference for sports.

　　At first,the Calabrias had their middle child in a prosthesis that looked and functioned like a “real” leg,but soon they decided to choose a different path when they found it wasn’t beneficial to his movement.Then the family moved him to arm crutches(腋杖)and from there a new burst of energy was found.

　　Getting others to believe that he could take off on the soccer field took a little bit longer.When the Calabrias moved to Concord,they had a hard time convincing the town soccer program to allow a child like him to compete with able-bodied kids.After months and months of debates and meetings,the family received the answer they were looking for.Since then,witnessing a young man on crutches who competes against those with two legs has become a fixed event in the Concord community. 

　　“At that time I had nothing but discouragement working with the soccer community.However,now I have nothing but admiration for the fact that he’s been allowed to play,and people see that he adds value to game,” his father said.“I just think it’s a great result.”

　　1.This passage shows us a boy with one leg 　. 

　　A.can do what a normal teenager can

　　B.is realizing as many dreams as he can

　　C.can make a sport event more valuable

　　D.can add value to society

　　2.We can learn from Paragraph 5 that 　. 

　　A.Calabria proved to be the most excellent player of the team

　　B.it was not easy for Calabria to be accepted to the town soccer team

　　C.Calabria’s parents didn’t allow him to play soccer at first

　　D.there are some other disabled children in the soccer team

　　3.In Paragraph 5,the underlined part probably means “　”. 

　　A.a must-seeB.a planned programme

　　C.an extra game D.a special occasion

　　4.It is implied in the last paragraph that Nicolai’s father 　. 

　　A.has been discouraged since Nicolai played soccer

　　B.thinks that Nicolai is playing a key role in the team

　　C.is very delighted that Nicolai can play soccer in the team

　　D.hasn’t expected that Nicolai can be allowed to play soccer

　　Ⅱ.完形填空

　　“It never crossed my mind that I might never get on a surfboard again,” she recalled later.“I wondered whether I would actually be 　10　 to do it or not.But 　11　 I left hospital,I had decided that I was going to surf.” 

　　With the support of her family,Bethany 　12　 to get back on her board only one month after the attack.Her dad fixed a handle on her surfboard to help her paddle(划水) through and into waves. 

　　When she returned to surfing at a competition in Hawaii,Bethany was 　13　 in dangerous waves that broke her surfboard.As a result,she gave away her remaining boards and quit.She tried using an artificial arm,but it turned out to be 　14　 while surfing.

　　Ⅰ.【语篇导读】 本文讲述了17岁的Calabria天生残疾,但他克服了常人想象不到的困难,驰骋在足球场上,并成为最佳摔跤运动员,还攀登了非洲最高峰。

　　1.A　细节理解题。本文的主人公Calabria是个残疾人,但他用自己的毅力告诉我们,残疾人也能做肢体健全的人能做的事。第一段最后一句说,他改变了看他比赛的任何一个肢体健全的人对残疾人的态度,因此选A项。

　　2.B　细节理解题。第五段介绍了Calabria是如何进入美国康科德社区的足球队,与肢体健全的孩子们一起踢足球的。从该段的叙述来看,他进入球队颇费周折(they had a hard time convincing),因此选B项。

　　3.A　词义猜测题。由第五段可知,从那以后,这个使用腋杖的年轻人与其他肢体健全的人一起比赛就成了康科德社区“固定的事情”,显然画线部分的含义不是“计划的节目”“额外的比赛”“特殊的时刻”,而是“必看的节目”,因此选A项。

　　4.C　推理判断题。最后一段Calabria的父亲说他很赞赏孩子能参加足球比赛(nothing but admiration),说Calabria在赛场上为比赛增添了价值,因此选C项。

　　.【语篇导读】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了美国冲浪运动员Bethany Hamilton在事故中成为残疾人之后是如何继续自己喜爱的体育运动并最终获得成功的故事。

　　1.D　根据第二段第一句中的“the best teenage surfers in the world”可知,Bethany决定和朋友们一起去夏威夷冲浪(surfing)。

　　2.A　文中说Bethany是世界上最好的青少年冲浪选手之一,因此这里表示她打算成为一名专业的(professional)冲浪运动员。

　　3.C　Bethany躺在冲浪板上的时候,一只大鲨鱼咬(bit)住了她的左臂。

　　4.A　根据下文中的“Bethany started to swim back to the beach with one arm”可知,鲨鱼把Bethany的左臂(arm)咬掉了。

　　5.D　这只鲨鱼只攻击了Bethany一次,她已经很幸运了。

　　6.C　这一切发生得太快了,Bethany连叫喊(scream)的时间都没有。

　　7.B　上文说Bethany的朋友以为Bethany在开玩笑,因此,当他们看到Bethany身上的血(blood)的时候很惊恐并急忙去帮忙。

　　8.A　Bethany身上一半的血都流掉了,因此她能够活(survival)下来是个奇迹。下文中的“just survive”也是提示。

　　9.B　但是Bethany想做的不仅仅(more than)是活下来。

　　10.D　Bethany想知道她是否能够(able)冲浪。

　　11.C　此处表示Bethany的决心,在出院之前(before)她就已经下定决心要继续进行冲浪。由时态可知,decide这个动作发生在left之前,故用before。

　　12.B　这里用manage to do sth.表示“设法做成某事”。

　　13.A　文中说海浪把Bethany的冲浪板都打破了,因此这里用be caught in表示“被卷入,陷入”:她被卷进了危险的海浪中。

　　14.B　根据本句中的转折连词“but”可知,Bethany安装的假臂在冲浪的时候是无用的(useless)。

　　15.D　根据本句中的“helping homeless survivors”可知,2004年时Bethany在泰国当志愿者帮助地震灾民。故选D项。

　　16.A　这里用reconsider表示“重新考虑”:Bethany重新考虑自己放弃冲浪运动的决定对不对。

　　17.C　这里用decide与前面的reconsider呼应,表示Bethany 重新考虑之后的决定。

　　18.D　根据语境的叙述判断选D项表示“成功,奏效,达到目的”:当Bethany几年后在一场世界锦标赛中获得成功时,她的一切奋斗和努力都达到了目的。

　　19.B　下文多处提到“award”,因此选B项表示“荣誉,荣耀”。

　　20.C　这里用inspiring总结Bethany的奋斗历程,表示“鼓舞人心的”。

　　.1.who　2.Similarly　3.its　4.to be attacked　5.is　6.thirst

　　7.are affected　8.worse　9.on　10.damaged
