【解析】 本文为夹叙夹议的文章。全文讲述了一个身残志坚的女体操运动员——Lola Walter。她虽然视力有问题,但是却克服自身条件的不足和常人所不能克服的困难,努力练习体操,希望将来能把自己的所学传授给别的孩子。她建议我们要相信自己。

1.

2.2】解析:选A“That’s especially impressive...”的原因是“she is legally blind”,前后是因果关系,因此,此处用since引导原因状语从句。

3.3】解析:选A。前文提到她的眼睛有毛病,因此,此处指她看不出/不知道东西离她有多远,要用tell一词,can’t tell意为不知道,看不出guess猜;assume假定,假设;predict预测,均与语境不符。

4.4】解析:选D。她妈妈无意当中注意到她即使看不清东西,她也不害怕,因此,此处要选D项,指无意中注意到suspect怀疑;remember记住;imagine想象,均不符合语境。

5.5】解析:选B。文章第三段就提到了,她视力有问题,看物体时出现叠影,看不清物体离她有多远,因此,此处要选well

6.6】解析:选B。通篇都在叙述Lola练习体操,此处用the sport指代gymnastics

7.7】解析:选C。因为她视力有问题,很明显她学习体操比其他队友要困难(difficult)

8.8】解析:选D。她是一个很有决心的女孩,她不会让她自身的状况阻止她做她想做的事情。由文章内容可知,此处是指她视力有问题这一自身状况,因此选用condition一词,意为条件talent才能;quality品质;nature本性,均不符合语境。

9.9】解析:选C。由本段后面的内容可知,由于她在看物体时有叠影,常常看到两个平衡木,所以平衡木是她最大的挑战(challenge)

10.10】解析:选D。她闭上眼睛是因为她相信(trust)她的感觉,相信它能带她去她想去的地方。

11.1】解析:选A。因为平衡木只有四英寸宽,因此我们可以说它是最令人害怕的。此处选用fearful,指令人恐惧的,令人害怕的harmful有害的;unfair不公平的;inconvenient不方便的,均不符合语境。

12.2】.解析:选Cfall off……上掉下来,此处指她在国家级的比赛中没有从平衡木上掉下来。后面提到她得到8.1——她的最高分

13.3】解析:选B。她不想受到与队里别的女孩不一样的对待,指她希望教练能把她当正常的女孩来看待。因此,此处要选treated,有对待之意。

14.4】解析:选D。上文已提到她有视力方面的问题。

15.5】.解析:选A。在队里时她不希望受到特别的优待,在打比赛时不想让裁判知道她视力有问题,这是因为她把自己当成一个正常人,妈妈对她这种乐观的生活态度感到很吃惊。positive积极的,乐观的,符合语境。friendly友好的;flexible灵活的;cautious小心翼翼的,均不符合语境。

16.6】解析:选B。整篇文章提到她是个很有决心的女孩,她是永远不会放弃的。quit退出,放弃。文中第五段提到never quit(永不放弃),这也是关键提示。

17.7】解析:选D。达到9级是她的目标,因此此处选用goal,表示目标。后面提到她想成为体操教练,也说明她是一个有明确目标的人。

18.8】解析:选C。当她长大后,她要当一名体操教练,把她的所学传授给别的孩子。when she grows upwhen引导的时间状语从句。

19.9】解析:选Abe proud of……自豪;be tired of……厌倦;be ashamed of……羞愧;be confident of……有信心。她对她所有的努力和成功当然是很自豪的。

20.20】解析:选B“just believe in yourself”是她给别人的建议,因此advice(建议,劝告)为最佳选择。
