2.You must know what BYD stands for?Yes,Build Your Dream.Have you built your dream and spare no effort to achieve it?Here is an inspiring story from http://www.naijamotiveation.com
    Eddie Arcaro dreamed of becoming the world's greatest jockey(赛马骑师).But after watching him ride a horse for five minutes,reality reflected a rough contradiction.He was awkward and clumsy,and in his early years in the saddle he couldn't do one thing right.
    In his first 100 races he never even came close to winning.Still,he got right back on and trained again.Even as a schoolboy,Arcaro had set his own track in life.Because he was only a little over five feet tall (1.5 meters) and weighed barely 80 pounds (36kg),the other students picked on him.So he skipped school,hanging out at the local race track where a trainer let him ride horses.
    His father reluctantly agreed to let him pursue a career as a jockey.The trainer had told him so."Send him back to school,"he said."He'll never be a rider."In spite of that,Arcaro was determined not just to ride,but to become the world's greatest jockey.But first someone would have to give him a chance.
    He finally got to ride in a real race.Before it was over,he'd lost his whip and his cap and had almost fallen off the saddle.By the time he finished the race,the other horses were on their way to the stables(马厩).He'd come in dead last.Nevertheless,Arcaro went from track to track,looking for any opportunity to ride.
    Finally,a trainer who pitied him took him in and gave him a chance.One hundred losses later,he was still giving him chances.He saw something in this unlucky jockey,something he couldn't define.
    There were many brushes with death and several broken bones.Every time he would return to the saddle.Then Arcaro began to win.In thirty years of riding,he won 4,779 races,becoming the only jockey in history to win the Kentucky Derby five times.By the time he retired in 1962 he was a millionaire and a legend in his own lifetime.
21.The underlined phrase"picked on"in the passage probably meansB
A.paid attention to   
B.made fun of    
C.offered help to   
D.took special care of
22.The trainer who believed in Arcaro gave him chances becauseD
A.Arcaro had shown great talents in horse racing
B.he thought all that Arcaro needed was a bit of luck
C.he had sympathy for Arcaro for his unfortunate experiences
D.he was impressed by the way Arcaro stuck to his dream
23.The key message the author wants to convey through the passage is thatC    A.a man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds
B.you can't stop the waves,but you can learn how to surf
C.winners in life set goals and follow through on them
D.life consists not in holding good cards,but in playing well those you hold
24.Which of the following would be the most proper title for the passage?A
A.The Man With The One Track Mind           
B.A Star With Many Skills
C.An Inspiring Website Story                  
D.Inspiration Is Around Us.

分析 本文主要讲述了艾迪立志成为赛马骑师,但由于他的身高并不高而没有人给他机会,他的教练并不相信他能成为一名骑师,但是他的父亲支持着他的梦想.最终有一个教练给了他一次机会,在他失败近一百次时仍然给他机会,而艾迪最终终于成为了一名优秀的赛马骑师,并在三十年中赢得了四千多场比赛.

解答 21.B 推断猜词题.由于艾迪身高仅1.5米却想成为赛马骑师,这几乎是不可能的愿望引起了同学们对他的取笑,Because he was only a little over five feet tall (1.5 meters) and weighed barely 80 pounds (36kg),the other students picked on him.故选B
22.D 细节理解题.由第六段Finally,a trainer who pitied him took him in and gave him a chance.One hundred losses later,he was still giving him chances.He saw something in this unlucky jockey,something he couldn't define.可知,教练相信艾迪并给他机会是因为他被艾迪追逐梦想的精神所感动,因此愿意给他机会.故选D
23.C 理解推断类.由文章第一段You must know what BYD stands for?Yes,Build Your Dream.Have you built your dream and spare no effort to achieve it?Here is an inspiring story.可知,作者在本文中意在强调建立梦想与追逐梦想的重要性,故选C
24.A 理解推断类.首先要知道文章中主要写了艾迪追逐梦想并获得成功的故事,因此题目应该与之有关,故选A

点评 考点:本文考查学生的记叙类阅读的水平,需要学生认真阅读原文,仔细查找文中细节,对文章脉络有整体的了解,能根据文章进行合理推断
