Question

  When Kristi was born,the doctor pointed out that her feet were turned inward (向内扭曲) ."Left 1      ,it would be a problem," he told us.

  We did our best to help our baby. When she was only two weeks old,I brought her back to the doctor,just as he had 2        and the doctor put her 3        feet into casts. Because she was growing,I had to take her 4        to the doctor every two weeks to have each foot recast.

  5       the casting was finished,and it was time for 6        shoes and bars. Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she 7        to walk. Those first,awkward steps made us so 8       . When she entered preschool,her steps appeared quite 9       . Encouraged by her progress,we looked for something else to help 10        her poorer body.

  As it 11,she loved the ice！

  When she 12        six,we entered her in skating lessons and soon she was gliding like a swan. We watched in 13        as she skimmed the ice. She worked hard at every new movement. She loved the ice and her dedication 14       . At the senior World Championships in 1991,she won the women's singles!Then we found ourselves filled with love and 15        in France,at the 1992 Winter Olympics,as our daughter,Kristi Yamaguchi won the gold medal.

  I thought back to the early years of 16       for Kristi―the years of frustration for her as a child who simply wanted to 17      the endless doctor visits;the first baby steps with bars and corrected shoes. We 18       her strength and dedication,and how far she had come on two tiny feet that had once been 19        in heavy casts. In our eyes,Kristi had always walked with the 20        of a true champion.

Answer 1

1. C此句是一个虚拟语气句，后面有would be, 所以前面应该是if it were left...的省略形式。句意为"如果不矫正,那么就会有麻烦"。故用uncorrected。

2. A句意为：按照医生的嘱咐。direct表示"指导"。

3. D孩子小的时候，脚也非常小，所以用tiny"很小的"。后文的"because she was growing ..."

也有提示。

4. C由上文可知医生把孩子的脚打上了模具，所以说以后"我"每两个星期都要带她到医院去重新上模具(recast) 。

5. C eventually意为"最终，最后"。在此处表示"最后，这一种治疗方法结束了 "。

6. C corrective意为"纠正的，矫正的"，放在此处意为"用特制的鞋子和短杠进行矫正"。

7. A struggle to do sth.意为"努力做某事"，符合题意。

8. B看到孩子迈出第一步，父母在一旁觉得很激动。

9. C本句是说:她走路时看起来已经非常正常了。一般用normal来表示"身体健康的，正常的"。

10. B句意为：我们决定找一些其他的方法来增强她的体质。在此处用动词strengthen ,意为

"增强"。

11. A turn out意为"结果……"，后可接从句。根据句意,此处表示"结果是她爱上了滑冰"。

12. D表示"到……岁"时用系动词turn。

13. C看到女儿像天鹅一样在冰上滑行,我们感到很惊讶。in wonderment意为"惊叹"。

14. A这里用pay off表示"补偿，回报"(to be successful) ，后文也说明了这一点。

15. C此处表达父母看到孩子成功时的心情，感受到他们对孩子的"爱"和对她不怕困难、战胜自我的"钦佩和欣慰"。

16. B由破折号后的内容可知，"我"回忆起前些年女儿所面临的"挑战"。

17. A由前面的simply可以推断，这里是说"行走"。

18. B我们敬佩她的力量和努力。

19. B bound是bind的过去分词，意为"捆，缚"，SP"被束缚着"。

20. C在父母的眼中，女儿从没有缺陷，她一直是以一个真正的冠军的优雅姿势走着。二、阅读理解语篇导读:在我们懵懂无知时,我们会取笑捉弄他人。作者也曾经被捉弄，而且她还加人取笑另外一个女孩子的行列。多年后，作者回忆往事充满愧疚。
