解析试题分析:本文介绍了三位出类拔萃、影响世界的美国青少年,告诉人们坚持梦想,一切皆有可能。
【小题1】C名词辨析。根据文章第一段(总起段落)的最后一句话可知,整篇文章讲的是出类拔萃的美国青少年,从文章第二段开始例举,Winter Vinecki 是第一个例子。所以该句句意:“15岁的Winter Vinecki比许多人终其一生所取得的‘成功’还要多。”,故正确答案为C.
【小题2】C形容词辨析。A. passive “消极的,被动的”;  B. sensitive“敏感的,易怒的”; C. aggressive“侵略的;有进取心的”; D. negative“否定的,消极的”,根据该句的下一句“ He died 10 months later.”,显然她父亲的病情很严重,故选 aggressive“侵略的”,来作定语进行修饰, “a rare and aggressive form of prostate cancer ”意为:“一种罕见的侵略性的前列腺癌”。
【小题3】A名词性从句连接词的选择。根据该句句意:“也就是‘在那时’针对前列腺癌症的研究和认识我成立了Winter团队。”,即该表语从句缺表示时间状语的连接词,故选A.when.
【小题4】D名词辨析。A. development“发展”; B. threat“恐吓,威胁”; C. panic“恐慌,惊慌”; D. awareness“认识,意识”,该处for + n.表示Winter团队的价值理念所在,除了对于前列腺癌的研究,还有就是针对与对癌症的‘认识’了。
【小题5】A动词辨析。A.take有“讲授,带领”之意,其结构为“take sth/ take sb (for sth)”,例如:The head teacher usually takes us for French.校长通常给我们上法语课。B. received“收到”; C. searched“搜寻”; D. tested“测验”,该句句意:“她在世界范围内‘进行’前列腺癌的教育。”,故正确答案为A.
【小题6】A 介词辨析。A. through“通过…”; B. off“离开,偏离”; C. over“在…之上”;D. beyond“超出…”,而该句句意:“她在世界范围内进行前列腺癌的教育是‘通过’马拉松长跑的这种方式。”故正确答案为A.
【小题7】B副词辨析。A. officially“官方地,正式地”; B. continually“不断地”; C. peacefully        “和平地,平静地”; D. temporarily“暂时地,临时地”,该句句意:“在美国,她‘频繁地’旅行,宣讲前列腺癌的知识,敦促(力劝)其他人行动起来。”,故正确答案为B.
【小题8】C动词辨析。A. promise“承诺”; B. pay“花费”; C. urge“力劝,敦促”; D. prefer“更喜欢”,此处句意:“‘力劝’人们行动起来。”,故正确答案为C.
【小题9】D连词辨析。A. for“因为”; B. before“在…之前”; C. unless“除非”; D. but“但是”,该句句意:“前列腺癌虽然司空见惯,‘但是’男人们都不愿谈及此事。”即两句间的逻辑关系是“转折”,故正确答案为D.
【小题10】C代词/名词辨析。根据语境和句意:“所以,这就是一个9岁女孩不得不走出去,开始给‘男人们’谈论此病的原因。”,该处用them指代上文出现的男人们,故正确答案为C.
【小题11】D动词辨析。A. cures“治愈”; B. improves“改良,提高”; C. prevents“防止,预防”; D. identifies“识别”,因为该空所在的定语从句所限定的先行词是sensor“传感器,感应器”,故定语从句的谓语动词应选D. identifies识别。该句句意:“他发明了一种廉价的能‘识别’胰腺癌、卵巢癌和肺癌的感应器。”
【小题12】B名词辨析。A. experiments“实验,试验”; B. devices“装置”;C. trials“试验”;D. data“数据,资料”,所选的名词要作动词develop的宾语,且根据下一句话所介绍的该名词的作用“help identify and remove”(帮助识别和清除…)可知,正确答案为B.
【小题13】B名词辨析。根据上文中提到的该装置为“water quality devices”水质装置,所以它的功能显然是把重金属物质和有害物质从“水中”去除掉。故正确答案为B.water.
【小题14】C动词辨析。 A. carried“携带”; B. exposed“使…暴露于/处于/面临…”; C. employed“雇佣;使用”; D.handled“拿/抓(某物);处理/管理(事情/情况)”,该处的动词要非谓语化作宾语补足语,且根据该句句意:“我希望看到它们(我的发明设备)‘被应用’到发展中国家。”故正确答案为C.employed “被使用”。
【小题15】D动词辨析。A. failing“失败”; B. fleeing “逃跑”; C. declining“减少;衰退,衰落”; D. dying“死”,根据该句的状语部分“in gun violence”(在枪击暴力中),too many young people 为主语,所以谓语应选D. (was)dying.该句句意:“她说,太多的年轻人在枪击暴力中丧生。”
【小题16】D名词辨析。A. revolution“革命,变革”; B. discussion“讨论”; C. business“生意,业务;事情”; D. campaign“活动;战役”,该句句意:“她还发起了一场教育年轻人声讨枪击暴力的‘运动’”,故正确答案为D.
【小题17】A名词辨析。A. combination“联合”; B. convenience“便利,方便”; C. competence “胜任,能力,资格”;D. consideration“考虑;体谅”,该句句意:“是能给予帮助的父母、网络和社会媒体‘共同’帮助他们取得了成功。”故该处主语应选A.
【小题18】C名词辨析。A. harmony“和谐”; B. satisfaction“满足”; C. selves“自我”; D. impressions“印象”,该句句意:“但是,Winter和Jack也创造了内在的‘自我’”,故正确答案为C.

During the 19th century, women’s education was not considered important in the United States. Supporters of advanced education for women faced many problems. States did require each town to provide a school for children, but teachers were often poorly prepared. Most young women were not able to continue on with their education in private schools. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew (缝制) clothing, and music.

Mary Lyon felt that women’s education was extremely important. Through her lifelong work for education she became the most famous woman in the 19th century America. She believed that women were teachers both at home and in the classroom. And she believed that efforts to better educate young women also served God. If women were better educated, she felt, they could teach in local schools throughout the United States and in foreign countries.

In 1837, Mary Lyon opened Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women. Only four teachers and the first class of eighty young women lived and studied in the building when the school opened. But Mary knew the importance of what had been established (建立) — the first independent school for the higher education of women. The school continued to grow. In 1893, under a state law, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became a college. Mount Holyoke College was the first college to offer women the same education as was offered to men.

People who have studied Mary Lyon say she was not fighting a battle (战争) of equality between men and women, yet she knew she wanted more for women. Her efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Historians say she was the strongest influence on the education of American young people during the middle of the 19th century.

1.What did Mary Lyon think would be a result of better education for women?

A. They could be teachers in local schools in the USA and in foreign countries.

B. They could help their children with the homework.

C. They could help their husbands with the work.

D. They could help their parents with the housework.

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?

A. Teachers were poorly prepared in the 19th century.

B. Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women was the first independent school for the higher education of women in the United States.

C. Mount Holyoke College only taught women French.

D. Young women studied French, sewing and music in private schools in the 19th century.

3.What contributions did Mary make to education?

A. She taught a great number of young women.

B. She made the law protect men’s right to education.

C. She was responsible for the spread of higher education for women in the USA.

D. She succeeded in developing her own education system.
