Question

【题目】 Unnila Chaudhary was already a slave when she was six. She spent almost 12 years working as a slave maid in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. She was a so - called Kamalari, one of thousands of girls from Tharu tribe (部落)sold by their parents because of financial problem. About 7 percent of the Nepali population is Tharu. They are generally poor and live from agriculture but oftentimes it is not enough. So over the centuries, a tradition has formed where daughters are sent to the city for money. For parents, this brings in additional income and one less mouth to feed. But the girls lose their childhood cruelly.

Urmila Chaudhary gained her freedom 10 years ago and has been campaigning against the tradition ever since . The Kamalari was actually banned by law in 2013 but it continues . She has even founded an organization that helps to free slaves and give them a second chance in life.

After getting her freedom back, she wanted more. She wanted a life, the life that she had always dreamed of even though she was realistic enough to know that her chances were limited. She had never gone to school but wanted to become a lawyer. So she started going to classes with much younger children but was not bothered by the surprised glances and surprising questions. At the same time, she set up her own organization to free girls from slavery ."What she has achieved is remarkable,says Irene Jung. The organizations have freed 13,000 girls in the past few years. uUrmila has huge sympathy. You can see it every time she talks to girls whom she freed," says Jung admiringly. She makes what seems impossible possible. She has learnt how to read and write. She speaks English and has received her high-school diploma.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章说明了Unnila Chaudhary从六岁成为奴隶到18岁获得自由，成立组织来帮助其他女孩摆脱奴隶制。从没有受过教育到学会了读写并取得高中文凭的故事。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句Unnila Chaudhary was already a slave when she was six. She spent almost 12 years working as a slave maid in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.（Unnila Chaudhary六岁时就已经是一名奴隶了。她在尼泊尔首都加德满都做了将近12年的女佣。）可知Unnila Chaudhary恢复自由的时候是6+12=18岁。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句She has even founded an organization that helps to free slaves and give them a second chance in life.（她甚至建立了一个组织，帮助解放奴隶，给他们第二次生命的机会。）可知Urmila Chaudhary通过建立一个组织帮助其他女孩摆脱奴隶制。故选D。

【3】细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句She wanted a life, the life that she had always dreamed of even though she was realistic enough to know that her chances were limited. She had never gone to school but wanted to become a lawyer.（她想要一种生活，一种她一直梦想的生活，尽管她很现实，知道自己的机会是有限的。她从未上过学，但想成为一名律师。）可知Urmila Chaudhary意识到她的机会是有限的，因为她几乎没有受过教育。故选C。

【4】推理判断题。根据第二段第一句Urmila Chaudhary gained her freedom 10 years ago and has been campaigning against the tradition ever since.（Urmila Chaudhary在10年前获得了自由，从那时起她就一直在反对这一传统。）可知Urmila Chaudhary敢于反抗传统，是非常勇敢的；根据第二段最后一句She has even founded an organization that helps to free slaves and give them a second chance in life.（她甚至建立了一个组织，帮助解放奴隶，给他们第二次生命的机会。）可知Urmila Chaudhary设立组织来帮助他人，说明她非常乐于助人；根据文章最后一段最后一句She has learnt how to read and write. She speaks English and has received her high-school diploma.（她已经学会了读和写。她会说英语，并已获得高中文凭。）可知Urmila Chaudhary从几乎没有受过教育，到学会读写并取得高中文凭可见她非常有决心、意志坚强。故综上，选B。

根据事物的定义或者对事物总体的概括，从而判断出哪些具体事物或者具体的实践应该属于定义的范围或者是概括的范围是我们经常见到的推理判断题的题型。要解决这样的判断题，首先要讲对事物的定义或者对事物的总体概括要读清楚，然后根据对比4个选项，哪个选项在定义或者概括范围内的。哪个就是正确的答案。如第四小题，根据第二段第一句Urmila Chaudhary gained her freedom 10 years ago and has been campaigning against the tradition ever since.（Urmila Chaudhary在10年前获得了自由，从那时起她就一直在反对这一传统。）可知Urmila Chaudhary敢于反抗传统，是非常勇敢的；根据第二段最后一句She has even founded an organization that helps to free slaves and give them a second chance in life.（她甚至建立了一个组织，帮助解放奴隶，给他们第二次生命的机会。）可知Urmila Chaudhary设立组织来帮助他人，说明她非常乐于助人；根据文章最后一段最后一句She has learnt how to read and write. She speaks English and has received her high-school diploma.（她已经学会了读和写。她会说英语，并已获得高中文凭。）可知Urmila Chaudhary从几乎没有受过教育，到学会读写并取得高中文凭可见她非常有决心、意志坚强。故综上，选B。
