【题目】阅读理解
Every country has its heroes .They may be soldiers or sports people, doctors or film stars. We admire（钦佩） them for their courage, their strength, their devotion（忠诚） to duty or their talent. Their example inspires us to live better, to work harder.
Terry Fox was a young student who loved life and who loved sports. When he was just 18 years old a terrible tragedy happened: his right leg had to be cut off because of cancer. Such an experience would have destroyed a weaker person — but Terry Fox was a fighter. He refused to give up. Instead, while he was recovering from the operation, an idea slowly formed in his mind. He decided he would run across Canada, in order to raise money for cancer research.
Slowly and carefully, he began to train. Every step was extremely painful, but he insisted, increasing the distance covered day by day. Sixteen months later, in the spring of 1980, he was ready for the long journey across Canada — his Marathon of Hope .It was a time of inspiration and heart breaking emotion. Through television, every home saw his particular way of running, a kind of half- hop and half- run. Thousands of people lined the route to encourage him and to wish him well. They also gave money to fight cancer. Then, on 1st September 1980, after 143 days and more than 5000 kilometers completed, everything came tragically to an end Terry had to stop. He lived on for another nine months and died on June 18th 1981. He was almost 23.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）D
（2）D
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了勇敢坚强的Terry Fox，非但没有被病魔打败，反而坚持练习长跑，想通过穿越加拿大长跑的壮大举动，筹得善款，帮助跟他一样被癌症折磨的人群。虽然最终由于身体原因未能跑完全程，而且给身体造成了致命的损伤，最终丢失了生命，但是他的精神感动了无数人，也为癌症的研究工作做出了贡献。
（1）考查推理判断。文章中多次提到fighter ，heroes， admire， encourage，inspiration等字眼，很明显可以看出作者对于Terry Fox的态度是admire钦佩和赞美。A同情，B嫉妒，C关心，均不符合文意。故选D。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“He decided he would run across Canada, in order to raise money for cancer research.”可知他穿越加拿大长跑的目的是“募捐研究癌症”，他由于这个病而锯掉了右腿，“募捐研究癌症”也就是为了帮助和他一样受此病痛折磨的人。因此选D。
（3）考查推理判断。A. devotion“奉献”；B. actions“行动”；C. appearance“出现”；D. wishes“希望”。根据文章大意可知，Terry Fox在失去一条腿的情况下，勇敢做出了长跑的决定，并且坚持练习，不懈努力，付诸行动，因此Terry Fox的英雄气概可以通过他的决定和行动两方面体现。故选B。
（4）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Through television, every home saw his particular way of running”每家每户都通过电视观看他长跑的视频，“Thousands of people lined the route to encourage him成千上万的人列在路边为他加油”，“They also gave money to fight cancer他们还捐了钱用于癌症研究”，可知A/B/C项错误。第三段最后三句写到Terry Fox跑了143天，5千多公里之后一切停下来了，Terry被迫放弃，然后不久就去世了。由此可知英雄壮志未酬，长跑时未顾及自身。故选D。
