题目内容
10.In October 2010,I left my hometown and family in Virginia and moved to Iowa so I could be coached by Liang Chow.I'd been dreaming of an Olympic gold medal since I was eight--but gradually,that dream seemed like a million miles away.On January 2,2012,while Mom was visiting me in Iowa,I told her,"I don't like gymnastics anymore.I want to try dancing,or become a singer.I can get a job in Virginia.I just want to come home."
Mom's eyes narrowed and her expression turned to stone."You're breaking my heart Brie."She said."you've been doing gymnastics for ten years,and now you want to quit?Have you lost your mind?"
I hadn't lost my mind,but I had lost my fire.It's an entirely different thing to push toward that dream when you feel alone.
"I'm not trying to break your heart,Mom,"I said."I just don't want to do it anymore."
"I know you miss home.But you've signed a contract that says you will represent your country to the best of your ability.You've got a responsibility to your teammates.And now you just want to walk away?I will not let you be dishonorable.If you don't like gymnastics,then at the very least,you will finish the season."
The next afternoon as I dragged myself into Chow's gym.I thought of the efforts Mom had made in order to pay for my training.I thought of my two sisters:Arielle,who gave up ballroom dancing,and Joyelle,who stopped ice skating so that our single mom could afford to keep me in gymnastics.
For now,here's what you need to know:Exactly 210days before I ever attempted my first vault(跳跃)in the London Summer Olympics,my leap of faith came this close to ending in a crash of disaster.

解答 66-70 BACBD
66题答案:B细节理解题.根据第二段的"I just want to come home."(我只是想回家)第四段的"It's an entirely different thing to push toward that dream when you feel alone."(当你感觉孤独时放弃那个梦想是一件全然不同的事情)和第六段的"I know you miss home."(我知道你想家)可知,作者独在异乡,因太想家而产生了放弃的念头.故本题答案为B选项.
67题答案:A推理判断题.根据第三段的"You're breaking my heart"(你伤了我的心)可以看出,作者半途而废让母亲很伤心.故本题答案为A选项.
68题答案:C推理判断题.母亲的话让作者想起家人为她所做出的牺牲.文章最后一段的"Exactly 210 days before I ever attempted my first vault(跳跃)in the London Summer Olympics"(刚好在我尝试伦敦夏季奥运会的第一跳前210天)说明作者改变了最初的想法,选择了坚持.故本题答案为C选项.
69题答案:B主旨大意题.作者最初想放弃体操,但最后选择了坚持.B项标题概括了文章的主旨并与文章最后一段的"my leap of faith came this close to ending in a crash of disaster"(我信念的跳跃几乎在一次碰撞事故中结束了)呼应.故本题答案为B选项.
70题答案:D推理判断题.作者因为想家想放弃体操训练,但母亲的一席话让她最终选择了坚持,故答案选D项.
