Question

【題目】 A great woman once said, "Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others." These are the words of US pilot Amelia Earhart (1897-1937), a pioneer in aviation(航空領(lǐng)域）, who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.

Earhart was born in 1897. When she was young, she was very interested in stories about women who were successful in male-dominated（男性為主的）jobs, such as engineering and law.

But in 1920, Earhart's life changed after her first experience of being a plane passenger. As soon as the plane left the ground, Earhart knew that she loved flying and was determined（堅(jiān)定的）to be a pilot. So she found herself a teacher and started to learn how to fly for herself. To pay for the lessons and buy a plane of her own, she took all sorts of jobs.

In 1932, Earhart flew alone across the Atlantic, becoming the first woman ever to do so. She also designed a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who led active lives.

When she was nearly 40, Earhart was ready for a final challenge-to be the first woman to fly around the world. Her first attempt was unsuccessful but she tried again in 1937, with her navigator（領(lǐng)航員）Fred Noonan. But one month later, they disappeared without a trace(蹤跡）in bad weather in mid-flight.

Her death remained a mystery until recently. A study published in March conducted by Richard Jantz from the University of Tennessee, US, announced that bones found in 1940 on a faraway Pacific island belonged to Earhart.

Even though it's still not clear how she ended up on the island, we're one step closer to finding the answer.

【1】When did Earhart first fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone?

A.In 1920.B.In 1932.C.In 1937.D.In 1940.

【2】What started Earhart's interest in flying?

A.Her parent's influence.B.Her teachers' encouragement.

C.Her first experience as a passenger.D.Her childhood love for engineering.

【3】Which of the following words best describes Earhart?

A.Open-minded and patient.B.Creative and helpful.

C.Talented and unsocial.D.Pioneering and determined.

【4】What's the article mainly about?

A.The inspiring life story of Earhart.B.Some possible causes of Earhart's death.

C.The discovery of Earhart's bones.D.What made Earhart a great pilot.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文，作者通過(guò)女飛行員Earhart的故事向我們描述了女人必須像男人一樣去努力做一些事情，失敗的時(shí)候，她們的失敗一定是對(duì)其他人的一種挑戰(zhàn)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“In 1932, Earhart flew alone across the Atlantic, becoming the first woman ever to do so.” 1932年，Earhart獨(dú)自飛越大西洋，成為有史以來(lái)第一位飛越大西洋的女性。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“But in 1920, Earhart's life changed after her first experience of being a plane passenger. As soon as the plane left the ground, Earhart knew that she loved flying and was determined（堅(jiān)定的）to be a pilot.”但在1920年，Earhart的生活發(fā)生了變化，因?yàn)樗�第一次�?jīng)歷了飛機(jī)乘客。飛機(jī)一離開(kāi)地面，Earhart就知道她喜歡飛行，并決心當(dāng)一名飛行員�？芍�，她作為乘客的第一次經(jīng)歷。故選C。

【3】推理判斷。根據(jù)文中“To pay for the lessons and buy a plane of her own, she took all sorts of jobs.In 1932, Earhart flew alone across the Atlantic, becoming the first woman ever to do so. She also designed a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who led active lives.” 為了付學(xué)費(fèi)和買(mǎi)一架自己的飛機(jī)，她做了各種各樣的工作。1932年，Earhart獨(dú)自飛越大西洋，成為有史以來(lái)第一位飛越大西洋的女性。她還為女性設(shè)計(jì)了一套飛行服，并繼續(xù)為過(guò)著積極生活的女性設(shè)計(jì)其他服裝。及“when she was nearly 40, Earhart was ready for a final challenge-to be the first woman to fly around the world. Her first attempt was unsuccessful but she tried again in 1937 with her navigator（領(lǐng)航員）Fred Noonan. But one month later, they disappeared without a trace(蹤跡）in bad weather in mid-flight.” 當(dāng)她將近40歲的時(shí)候，Earhart已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好迎接最后的挑戰(zhàn)，成為第一個(gè)環(huán)球飛行的女性。她的第一次嘗試沒(méi)有成功，但她在1937年再次嘗試，帶著她的領(lǐng)航員弗雷德·努南（Fred Noonan）。但一個(gè)月后，他們?cè)陲w行途中的惡劣天氣中消失得無(wú)影無(wú)蹤�？赏茢喑鏊�是一位開(kāi)拓進(jìn)取，銳意進(jìn)取。故選D。

【4】主旨大意。The inspiring life story of Earhart. 埃爾哈特令人鼓舞的人生故事；Some possible causes of Earhart's death. 埃爾哈特死亡的一些可能原因；The discovery of Earhart's bones. 埃爾哈特骨頭的發(fā)現(xiàn)； What made Earhart a great pilot. 什么使他成為一名偉大的飛行員。通讀整篇短文可知，這篇短文主要向我們描述了女飛行員Earhart為了自己的夢(mèng)想永遠(yuǎn)挑戰(zhàn)的故事，給了我們很大的鼓勵(lì)。故選A。

做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)要先劃關(guān)鍵詞，再根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到文中的某一段即可做出題目。

例如第2題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞“started Earhart's interest in flying”可知，定位至“But in 1920, Earhart's life changed after her first experience of being a plane passenger. As soon as the plane left the ground, Earhart knew that she loved flying and was determined（堅(jiān)定的）to be a pilot.”因?yàn)樗�第一次�?jīng)歷了飛機(jī)乘客。飛機(jī)一離開(kāi)地面，埃爾哈特就知道她喜歡飛行，并決心當(dāng)一名飛行員�？芍�，她作為乘客的第一次經(jīng)歷。故選C。
