【题目】I was born and raised in the tiny town of Lafayette, Georgia. It’s a rather boring town, but luckily my mom loved traveling so we hit the road pretty frequently. I was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (脊肌萎缩症) at the age of two and have been in a wheelchair ever since. My wheelchair and I have been to 14 countries and have plans to visit many more. Since graduating from the University of West Georgia with a degree in marketing last year, I’ve put all of my energy into growing my website. Aside from traveling and working on my blog, I love going to concerts and trying new foods.

My mom was a teacher so she was off work every summer. We used that time to travel locally and took a lot of road trips along the East Coast. Disney World was a popular choice. When I turned 15, we tried our hand at traveling internationally and went to the Bahamas. These trips made me fall in love with travel and showed me that there’s so much out there in the world.

My mom always told me “If you can’t stand up, stand out” and I try to live by that mentality daily. I might not be able to stand physically, but I can stand. I can stand for anything that I desire, like traveling. A disability is not going to limit me from seeing the world. I refuse to even entertain the thought that my disability could have that sort of power.

It is much more difficult to travel as a wheelchair user. Over my life, I have met numbers of challenges, especially when I was younger. But I’ve learned to be positive no matter when trouble comes to me.

1What do we know about the author?

A. He dislikes living in his town.

B. He was born with a severe illness.

C. He began travelling abroad at 15.

D. He was poorly educated due to his illness.

2How does the author sound in the passage?

A. Unfortunate B. Optimistic

C. Independent D. Warm-hearted

3What does the underlined part mean?

A. You must stand up by yourself.

B. You should accept your disability.

C. You must learn how to use a wheelchair.

D. You should have will and great character.

【答案】

1C

2B

3D

【解析】本文主人公因患有脊肌萎缩症,从两岁开始就只能坐在轮椅上,但是那并没有阻止他看世界。我们要从他身上学习面对困难的积极态度。

1细节理解题。根据文章第二段的句子When I turned 15, we tried our hand at traveling internationally and went to the Bahamas.当我15岁时,我们开始尝试国际旅行去了巴哈马。可知作者15岁开始国外旅行。故选C。

2推理判断题。根据作者在文章中的描述,残疾并没有组织他看世界,结合最后一段的内容Over my life, I have met numbers of challenges, especially when I was younger. But I’ve learned to be positive no matter when trouble comes to me.在我的生活中,我遇到很多的挑战,特别是小时候但是我学会了如论何时遇到困难时都要积极。可知作者的态度是积极的。故选B。

3句意理解题。根据划线句子的意思如果你站不起来,那就站出来。”,结合下文作者的说明I might not be able to stand physically, but I can stand. I can stand for anything that I desire, like traveling. A disability is not going to limit me from seeing the world.或许我的身体不能站起来,但是我能奋斗。我可以为我想要的而努力,比如旅行。身体的残疾不能限制我看世界。可知划线部分的意思是你应该有坚强的意志和强大的性格”。故选D。
