Question

【题目】根据短文内容选择正确答案。（共10小题，每小题2分；计20分）

A

I have just received your letter. And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model (模特).

Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn’t see. I can’t eat what I like, even though I’m very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.

Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me.

You might say I made much money from modeling. But my dear niece(侄女)，you have to know that money is nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now.

You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness.

Love,

Emma

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：该文是姑姑艾玛写给侄女艾丽斯的信。艾玛让艾丽斯认真考虑做模特赚钱还是继续学习的事情。

【1】C细节理解题。根据第一段中I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model可知她吃惊的是她的侄女想从学校出来（不完成学业）做模特，所以选C。

【2】B细节理解题。根据第四段末I am too old to go back to school now可知艾玛太老了不能回学校，她错过了学习的最佳时机，所以选B。

【3】A细节理解题。根据最后一段中You only have one year to finish your studies in high school可知艾丽斯还有一年高中毕业，所以选A。

【4】B细节理解题。根据文章最后一句there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness可知艾玛只关心一件事，那就是艾丽斯的幸福，所以选B。

【5】A细节理解题。根据艾玛的讲述Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model可知她是个模特，故A对。B答案不对，从I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun…可看出她是没办法，而不是喜欢；C答案文章没说，这里还只是在劝说回学校；D答案与原文不符，原文说的是：I can’t eat what I like, even though I’m very hungry。
