Question

【題目】 When your dream is to become a footballer and play for Barcelona team, nothing should get in your way—even if you have no feet.

An 11-year-old schoolboy Gabriel Muniz, who was born without feet, will fly from his home in Brazil to take part in the Spanish club’s summer training camp. Although he is disabled, Muniz is one of the top players at the school and captain of his gym class. He can run, pass and strike the ball as well as any of his able-bodied teammates. He spends all his spare time on the football pitch.

His best friend Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun, “He is skillful, he goes after it, he is fearless and he knows how to organize plays. He also makes good passes.” Mum Sandra was thrilled that her son would achieve his dreams. She said, "He started walking before he was one. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell. "Muniz’s gym teacher added, "He is challenging the social standard. When he arrived there, no one believed in him." But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy. So he was invited to go to Spain to show his talent.

The Spanish La Liga soccer club has offered to fly Muniz to Spain in September, where he’ll be able to show off his fancy “footwork” and meet his idol, Barca soccer player Lionel Messi.

Muniz wears a prosthetic (假體的) ankle and foot to help him get around in rainy weather. He knows that his disability means he’ll never be able to play for a professional football team and so Muniz is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympics (殘奧會的) sport.

A.excitedB.worriedC.boredD.interested

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】

本文講述了11歲男孩穆尼茲一出生就沒有雙腳，可是他并沒有放棄希望，不僅在學(xué)校是最優(yōu)秀的足球運動員，還見到了他的偶像梅西。他希望將來有一天足球可以成為殘奧會的項目。

【1】詞句猜測題。excited 興奮的；worried 擔(dān)心的；bored無聊的；interested 感興趣的。Mum Sandra was thrilled that her son would achieve his dreams句中是由that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，從句表示“她的兒子將實現(xiàn)他的夢想”，根據(jù)上文Although he is disabled，可知，盡管兒子是殘疾人，但是他能實現(xiàn)自己的夢想，作為母親來說，心情肯定是激動和興奮的，所以thrilled與excited詞義相近。故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。本題的要求是按照時間順序，所以排在第一個是他小時候發(fā)生的事情②could walk without falling when he was very little“他很小的時候就能走路而不摔倒”。排在第二個是在學(xué)校發(fā)生的事情①played football well and became captain of his school gym class“足球踢得好，并成為體育隊長”。排在第三個是11歲被邀請去西班牙參加夏季訓(xùn)練營③was asked to fly to Spain for a summer training camp。故答案為D。

【3】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段When your dream is to become a footballer and play for Barcelona team, nothing should get in your way—even if you have no feet，可知，只要有夢想，沒有什么能阻止你實現(xiàn)夢想。以及本文講述的身殘志堅的小男孩——穆尼茲，盡管沒有腳，但是憑著他對足球的熱愛和堅強的意志，他能夠和其他孩子一樣踢球，并且踢得很好。所以最符合本文的主旨大意是“有志者事竟成”。故選B。
