Question

After the accident of falling from the 18^th floor and lying in the snow for three hours, my hands were frozen and my spinal cord (脊髓)was seriously injured. All the doctors and professors in the famous hospitals in Beijing told me that there was little chance for my hands and my body to recover (康復(fù)).
After half a year of medical treatments and recovering exercises, I could not make any more progress for over a year. What was worse , I suffered a lot from depression (絕望). On top of this, I suffered from insomnia, making every minute of the night seem to last forever. Hopelessly, mom and I came back to my hometown, which is small town in Guangdong.
At that time, I thought that I would never be able to walk again. I would never love and be loved. I would never be able to earn even a penny. I would never be able to repay the kindness I got from my parents and many nice people. Life was meaningless.
Now two years has passed. My hands are 80% recovered. I can even type faster than a healthy person! Up to now, I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter for half a year already. Although I don’t earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need. What’s more, I even have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my parents and my boyfriend. Through my blogs (博客) , many people get to know me and like me. I can bring happiness to them. I can help those who are still suffering from depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them….You see, I am living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed.
So, my friends, never say never. As long as you are alive, there is always hope and possibilities. It is never too late to take action to realize your dreams.     (382 words)

Answer 1

DACB
短文屬于記敘文。講述了“我”因受傷身體殘疾，曾幾度悲觀絕望痛苦，現(xiàn)在的“我”不僅能自食其力，還用各種方式幫助別人，生活得充實、快樂、有意義。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第五段第四句“I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter”可知。
2.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本句后面的內(nèi)容“making every minute of the night seem to last forever”可以推測出。
3.推理判斷題。從第五段“I can help those who…”“I am living a meaningful life…”可知作者現(xiàn)在的生活是樂觀向上的，用painful描述不全情理。
4.綜合理解題。根據(jù)第五段“Through my blogs…”里的意思，排除A項；從第二段第一句“…lying in the snow for three hours”里得知受傷后沒能立刻就醫(yī)，因此排除C項；從第五段第五句“I don’t earn as much as before”知道D項不屬實；從第五段第六句“I even have extra money to buy… for my parents and my boyfriend”可知作者目前有男朋友。綜合比較，只有B選項與短文內(nèi)容一致。
