Question

【题目】My name’s Evelyn. This February was a special one for me and my family.

On February 17, 2004, doctors took away my heart and put in a new one. I was only three years old at the time. Before I was born, doctors were able to see that I had a heart defect — my heart couldn’t do its job. I had my first heart surgery (外科手术) when I was three days old. More surgeries followed, and soon the doctors found they couldn’t fix my heart. They had to get me a new one. So I got another child’s heart. My surgery went well, and now here I am. Even ten years later, I’m doing great.

Well, it’s not always easy. I see doctors regularly (定期地). Medicine is part of my everyday life. I had to have a surgery in 2008, and I may need more surgeries in the future. No one knows what will happen, and I don’t worry about it.

I don’t feel different from other people, mostly. I like violin, painting and ball games, and I’m in middle school. I have amazing friends. A few of them and I have been friends since I was a little child. I enjoy going to a special camp for kids with heart defects. The year I turned 11, I decided to get a swimsuit to wear at the camp. The camp helped me to be OK with showing my scars (伤疤).

I celebrate my birthday and also my Heart Day, every February 17. It’s a chance to be thankful for my new heart and the family that gave it to me. I have never met the family, but I’d want them to know how thankful I am for my life.

2004年2月17日对于伊夫林和她的家人来说是特别的一天，因为在这一天她成功地接受了心脏移植手术，开始了新的生命。后来又在2008年进行心脏修复手术。每年2月17日。伊夫林都感谢自己新的心脏和捐献给她心脏的那个家庭。

【1】细节理解题。根据文中句子“Before I was born, doctors were able to see that I had a heart defect — my heart couldn’t do its job.”可知，医生发现伊夫林在出生前就有心脏缺陷。故答案为A。

【2】细节理解题。根据第三段中的句子“Well, it’s not always easy. I see doctors regularly (定期地). Medicine is part of my everyday life.”可知，伊夫林在换了新的心脏后，要定期看医生。药成为日常生活的一部分。也就是说要经常性的吃药，故答案为C。

【3】细节理解题。根据短文中的句子“The camp helped me to be OK with showing my scars (伤疤).”这个野营帮助我展示了我的伤疤。可知在野营的帮助下，伊夫林开始不在乎她的伤疤。故答案为B。

【4】细节理解题。根据文中句子“I like violin, painting and ball games, and I’m in middle school. I have amazing friends. A few of them and I have been friends since I was a little child. I enjoy going to a special camp for kids with heart defects.”可知，伊夫林像其他孩子一样，也有许多爱好，故答案选D。

【5】主旨大意题。短文最后一句“I have never met the family, but I’d want them to know how thankful I am for my life.”是本文的主题句，意思是“我从未见过这个家庭，但我希望他们知道我对生命的感激之情。” 故答案选C。
