题目内容
14.Breathe,wave and smile.Along with more than 300other seniors,I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10.The audience burst into deafening cheers.The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage.And indeed,every single senior that day was a star of the moment.Each deserved it.The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment-the commencement (graduation ceremony).
Seated,I waited anxiously for the opening address.As a foreign exchange student,I was not able to receive a diploma.However,I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things.Like the other graduates,I was dressed in marron cap and gown.
Our principal,Mr.Glover,delivered a short,warm greeting.The US national anthem followed and then,hands on chests,a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(美国的爱国誓言).
Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches.The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion.It was as the class motto says,"Life brings us tears,smiles and memories.The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever."
Then came the core (the most important part) of the commencement.Hundreds of names were announced.Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal.From the different cheers each graduate got,we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.
To be honest,the presentation of diplomas got boring.A girl sitting next to me even started yawning.But it wasn't boring for those receiving the diploma:they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.
A new page in the book of that person's life had turned.They were glimpsing their futures:futures of challenge,hardship,perhaps loneliness too,which would take all of their courage.

解答 32-35 ACDC
32.A 考查主旨大意.根据"The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment-the commencement (graduation ceremony)"可知,本文主要讲述了美国一所高中的毕业典礼.故选A.
33.C 考查细节理解.根据"I was not able to receive a diploma"可知,作者没能拿到毕业证书.所以C选项是错误的.故选C.
34.D 考查细节理解.根据文章内容可排列出这些事情发生的顺序.先是家长进入体育场,然后由校长做了一个简短的讲话,接着美国国歌奏起,学生做告别演讲,最后将毕业证书颁发给毕业生.故选D.
35.C 考查推理判断.根据"A new page in the book of that person's life had turned"可推断出,对于毕业生来说,毕业典礼标志着人生新阶段的开始.
点评 阅读理解考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
