Question

【题目】To me, inspirations mean to put my thoughts, heart, and creations into my jewelry. Sometimes I become so inspired with what I’m working on that I can finish one or more sets in less than an hour. Because of that feeling, I have named my jewelry collection “Inspirations”.

I am a 17-year-old student with sickle-cell anemia. With this, I am in and out of the hospital a lot. So I started making jewelry a year ago when I was in the hospital. I really needed something to do, so I was introduced to jewelry making by a child life expert.

One day while lying in my hospital bed, I decided to get up and go to the patient’s playroom ,and look through the craft designs. That was when I became inspired to design my jewelry collection, and named it “Inspirations”.

When I’m not sick, I try to keep a positive attitude through reading, schoolwork and craft activities. Even though there is a lot of work, I try to stay focused all the time. When I need a break or just to be free I turn to my craft activities. This is a way to ease my mind and it always helps me to especially get through those stressful times.

I am getting very excited about graduating next year and preparing myself for college. Who knows my collection of “Inspirations” would take me to the places I always dreamed of? I may see celebrities I admire and even sell them some of my beautiful “Inspirations”. If they wear my “Inspirations”, it will be well known and in great demand. What a great way to make some extra money for college! I never thought being sick would bring me “Inspirations”. I want people to look beyond my illness and see the creations I’ve made in my collection called “Inspirations”.

【解析】这是一篇记叙性的文章，讲述了一位十七岁的学生因为镰状细胞性贫血而常常进医院，他在这里接触到了珠宝创作并在其中找到了自己的灵感，即将高中毕业的他希望通过他的灵感制作的珠宝能为他上大学筹钱。

【1】推理判断题。根据划线词紧接着的后文“With this, I am in and out of the hospital a lot”：由于这个原因，我常常进出医院。可推断这是一位患病的学生，故选B。

【2】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句：I am getting very excited about graduating next year and preparing myself for college，我对于明年毕业为上大学做准备很兴奋。可知作者明年上大学而不是大学毕业，故C错误；作者还未高中毕业仍是一名高中生，故D正确。作者并未提及毕业后计划成为珠宝设计师，故A错误。作者未提及未来想当医生，故B错误。故选D。

【3】主旨大意题。根据文章整体内容，可知文章主要讲了作者因生病而制作珠宝创造灵感的事情，重点是由这场病给他带来的灵感，B、C、D都是文章的内容但是偏离了文章的主题。故选A。
