Question

【題目】 For years, I fought with the “bird’s nest” on top of my head. My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didn’t agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair “the mop (拖把)”.

When I got to university, I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly (卷曲的) hair straightened (拉直). However, it cost me $700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror.

But when I had to rent my own apartment, the cost became too high. So I turned to Google. In the end, I found a “curly haired” salon, a place designed for girls with crazy hair. When I arrived there, the stylist, Jacquai, was waiting for me.

“Do you really think this will work?” I asked.

“No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied. “You just haven’t found a way to work with it. That’s all.”

After the hour was over, Jacquai had completed her task. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn’t believe it: my hair looked beautiful.

Now my world has changed. I am more outgoing and confident than ever. People say that I’m looking better than ever but that they don’t know what has changed. Hair is not just hair. I don’t need to tell them. My hair speaks for itself.

【1】推理判斷題。根據My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didn’t agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair “the mop ”. 我媽媽認為我的頭發(fā)天生麗質，但我的同學們不同意。他們取笑我，稱我的頭發(fā)是“拖把”�？赏浦�同學們認為她的頭發(fā)很丑陋，故答案選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據. I had my curly hair straightened. However, it cost me $700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror. 我把卷發(fā)拉直了。然而，我每六個月就要花700美元。人們說我在頭發(fā)上花那么多錢簡直是瘋了。但我愿意做任何事，永遠不再看到鏡子里的那個卷發(fā)女孩。”以及But when I had to rent my own apartment, the cost became too high.但當我不得不租自己的公寓時，費用變得太高了�？芍�作者把卷發(fā)拉直后，使得自己的頭發(fā)不再丑陋，但價格卻是昂貴的，故答案選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據“No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied. “You just haven’t found a way to work with it. That’s all.” “沒有一頭卷發(fā)是沒有希望的，”她回答。“你只是還沒有找到解決的辦法。僅此而已。”以及, Jacquai had completed her task. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. Jacquai完成了她的任務。她只用手給我做頭發(fā)。可知，當發(fā)型師見到作者時是沉著而自信的，故答案選C。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據Now my world has changed. I am more outgoing and confident than ever. 現在我的世界改變了，我比以往任何時候都更加外向和自信�？芍�作者的世界改變了，是因為她變得更加外向和自信，故答案選A。
