Question

 

A young girl called Ida in Sweden decided to travel to a place she hadn't seen for 22 years. She had a happy life until some kids asked, "Why don't you look like your mom?" Ida was sent to her adopted(收养) family in Sweden right after she was born. She really didn't know anything about her birthplace, Korea, except for some information she recently heard about her birthparents.

During her schooldays, she was often questioned about her looks. Ida considered herself a normal Swedish person. She tried to be part of the group in her school, but she found it hard. She was still seen as an outsider.

    As she grew older, she accepted(接受)who she  was. Still, she

wanted to find the missing piece of the puzzle (困惑). After finding out the place of her birthparents, Ida went to Korea in 2008. When she first arrived, she was surprised to see so many people who looked like her. However, apart from her looks, not much could be shared (分享) with others. She knew little about the culture, food, especially the language. Being in Korea wasn't always easy for her.

Perhaps Ida can never truly fit in either culture, but it's worth visiting her birthplace because she finally realized how special and different she is. She has two loving families, and most of all a better understanding of who she is. This helps her to have a positive view of her life.

【解析】【主旨大意】文章介绍了出生与韩国，生长在瑞典的女孩Ida，由于长相不一样，很难与其他同学融为一体。于是踏上了寻亲路，由于在异国生活了22年，她同样面临困境。拥有两个爱她的家是她是她积极面对生活的最大资本。

1.细节理解题 由第一段“Ida was sent to her adopted(收养) family in Sweden right after she was born. She really didn't know anything about her birthplace, Korea,”“出生后Ida被送往她瑞士的收养家庭，”对于她的出生地韩国她什么都不知道。”

2.细节理解题 有文章第二段可知由于经常被质问长相，她自己也把自己当做普通的瑞典人，并想融入学校，但很难。

3.推理判断题 由于在瑞典生活了22 年，除了长相与韩国人相似外，别的她都不能与韩国人共享。因此此处的apart from 是except的意思。

4.整体理解题通读文章可知，结合文章第一句可知答案为A。
