Question

【题目】Jane was from a small village in Southern America. Her family was poor and noodles were often their only food. Her parents couldn’t afford to pay the electricity bill (电费), so she had to study by candle light.

What was worse, to live on, her parents moved to a faraway village with the other four children. As for Jane, she didn’t want to give up learning and she dreamed to enter a famous university. She stuck to living alone in her village.

After Jane’s parents left, she lived a really difficult life. Having no place to live in, the homeless girl had to sleep on the back seat of the school bus. Luckily, Mrs. Brown, the caring school bus driver, learned about Jane’s situation and invited her to live with her family. Soon, Jane found a job in her school. She worked from 6 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. before the first school bell rang. She swept floors and picked up rubbish again in the afternoon. With the money she got from the work, she paid for her education. And she stayed up late in the evenings studying for all kinds of exams day after day.

Jane’s hard work made a difference to her life. She finished high school with unexpected results. She was accepted by Harvard, one of the world’s most famous universities with full scholarship (全额奖学金).

The 18-year-old girl created her own future with her never-give-up attitude and hard work.

短文主要讲了一个来自美国南部小村庄的女孩，为了坚持学习，独自一人留下来。在辛勤工作下她改变了她的生活，以意想不到的成绩完成了高中学业，考入哈佛大学。以永不放弃的态度和勤奋的工作创造了自己的未来。

【1】细节理解题，根据：“The 18-year-old girl created her own future with her never-give-up attitude and hard work. 这位18岁的女孩以永不放弃的态度和勤奋的工作创造了自己的未来。”和“Jane was from a small village in Southern America. 简来自美国南部的一个小村庄。”可知第一题争取，故选A。

【2】细节理解题，根据：“What was worse, to live on, her parents moved to a faraway village with the other four children.”可知简家中有父母还有自己的兄弟姐妹5人，应该一共7人，所以第二题描述错误，故选B。

【3】细节理解题，根据：“Luckily, Mrs. Brown, the caring school bus driver, learned about Jane’s situation and invited her to live with her family. 幸运的是，有爱心的校车司机布朗夫人了解了简的情况，并邀请她和家人住在一起。”，可知校车司机帮助了她，但并没有帮助她找工作，所以第三题描述错误，故选B。

【4】细节理解题，根据：“Soon, Jane found a job in her school. She worked from 6 a.m. to 7:40 a.m.不久，简在她的学校里找到了一份工作。她从早上6点开始工作。到早上7点40分在第一次上课铃响之前。”，早上6点—早上7点40之间，刚刚100分钟，可知第四题描述正确，故选A。

【5】主旨大意题，根据“she didn’t want to give up learning and she dreamed to enter a famous university. She stuck to living alone in her village. 她不想放弃学习，她梦想进入一所著名的大学。她坚持一个人住在她的村子里。”“Jane’s hard work made a difference to her life. 简的辛勤工作改变了她的生活。”和“The 18-year-old girl created her own future with her never-give-up attitude and hard work. 这位18岁的女孩以永不放弃的态度和勤奋的工作创造了自己的未来。”可知这篇文章主要告诉我们要想成功必须努力坚持，所以说法正确，故选A
