3、 that lives are changed forever by doctors just doing their jobs. To be a mix of country doctor and somewhat adventurer, the 55-year-old family physician moved to Halley after completing his residency (医生实习期). He hoped to practise medicine there and ski at nearby Sun Valley. Unfortunately, the only

4、job opening was for an emergency- room doctor in Missoula, Montana, 300 miles away. Dr. Paris took it. “Id ski all day and then drive all night to be in Missoula for a 48-hour shift,” he recalls. “Im lucky to be alive.” Knowing he couldnt keep up with his eight-hour commute (通勤), he began taking fly

5、ing lessons. In 1981, Dr. Paris joined a small medical practice in Hailey, a former mining town with a population at the time of 2,109. As Halley grew in the shadow of Sun Valleys booming popularity, Dr. Pariss own practice expanded to seven physicians, including his wife, Kathryn Woods, who is also

6、 a family doctor. They met in 1986 at a certification exam in Denver when, in a room full of men in stodgy suits, Woods arrived wearing a Lycra biking outfit and carrying the front wheel of her bicycle (which she couldnt lock up outside).

10、rs adventurous experience D. tell the doctors love affairs B A couple of years ago, before a trip to China, Nicole Davis and her US womens volleyball teammates were warned about the prominence (突出) of coach Jenny Lang Ping in her native country. “I was pushed over by Chinese journalists while I was

11、just trying to put my luggage on the bus,” said Davis. Known as the Iron Hammer for her punishing spikes (扣球), Lang made it possible for China to dominate in the sport in the early 1980s. She was a key player on Chinas 1984 Olympic gold medal winning team. When the US team arrived for the Olympics,

12、Lang, 48, who is from Beijing, had to take a different route to avoid a crowd of reporters and fans. Then came the greatest moment to Lang: While the US team was playing in a packed gym, at least 8, 000 Chinese fans unfurled an American flag. That really says it all, Davis said. They look at her as

13、an icon (偶像). Im sure its hard for them to see her coaching another country, but they love her so dearly that her success is their success.

14、 team won, since she is the pride of Chinas volleyball, said Liu Chengli, a spectator. We also cheered for Langs victory. Lang said she just tried to stay professional when the two teams meet.

20、ck slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There a school teacher asked the youth his name. “J. C.” he replied. She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name. Owens ran his first race at the age of 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part tim

21、e so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later. A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all we

22、ek, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results were in the record book. The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the nex

23、t year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners. “It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.” Having returned from Berlin, he receive

24、d no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he wasnt honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death. Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground and accepted money to race again

25、st cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs. “Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. But at least it was an honest living.

When he was one year old, he fell into a fire, losing both his hearing and his sense of smell. At 12, Laurent entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in

31、Paris where he excelled in his studies. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher. Meanwhile, in America, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was studying to be a minister. He was very concerned about the lack of educational opportunities for the deaf. Therefore, in 1815, Gall

32、audet sailed to London, England to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. While he was there, he met a French educator of the deaf who invited him to go to Paris to spend three months learning at the Royal Institution for the Deaf, the school where Laurent Clerc was teaching. Gallaudet accepted the

33、 offer. The two men worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet to return, he asked Clerc to come with him. Clerc accepted on one condition: that he would stay in America only a short time. The two men set sail on June 18, 1816. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took 52 day

34、s; however, Clerc and Gallaudet put the time to good use. Clerc studied English, and Gallaudet studied sign language. They discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open. On the long trip, they had many conversations about education and deafness. The year after they arrived, they found

35、ed a school for the deaf in Harford, Connecticut. At the school, Clerc led a busy life.

In 1819, Clerc married Eliza Crocker Boardman, one of his pupils. They had s

41、to hearing students D. Clerc, an educated Frenchman, had a great impact on American deaf educationUnit 2传记类A：1C推理判断题。第一段Jill Farrow说的话是在赞扬DrParis医术高明。2D事实细节题。由第一段“he is always reminded that lives are changed forever by doctors just doing their job.”可知答案。Dr. Paris总是在提醒自己，医生通过自己的工作可以改变病人的生命，这是医生的使命。3A

42、事实细节题。由第二段首句“To be a mix of country doctor and somewhat adventure”可推知，Paris医生搬往Hailey是希望在那里既作为一名乡村医生也是某种程度上的冒险家。4C推理判断题。今年55岁的Dr. Paris于1989年结婚，当时他应该是34岁。5A主旨大意题。本文主要是介绍Pans这位名医，其他选项一概片面。B：1B主旨大意题。本篇文章无明显的主题句，但字里行间都在讲述我国著名排球运动员、现美国女排主教练郎平带队到中国参加奥运会并受到了中国人民的热烈欢迎，故应选B；而D项意为“郎平的教练生涯”，显然不合题意。但多数学生误选此项，是

43、由于只注意到了局部信息，犯了以偏概全的错误，而没有真正理解文章主旨。2B推理判断题。从文章第四段的内容可以推断出朗平希望不要太被关注。3C猜测词义题。由文章第六段和第八段可以知道，这里的中国球迷为郎平执教的队伍获胜感到高兴。可以推猜他们对美国队的态度是欢迎的，因此词组意思是“打开、展开”了一面美国国旗。4C推理判断题。从第九段可以知道，朗平认为不论是对阵中国队还是其他队，对她来说，这仅仅是一场比赛而已。由此推断选C项。5B事实细节题。从文章倒数第二段的内容可以知道，排球在中国非常受欢迎，所以选B项。C：1C事实细节题。从第一段最后两句可知答案。2B事实细节题。从第二段“As a secondy

44、ear student，in the Big Ten games in 1935，he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games year later.”可知答案。3A推理判断题。根据第一段第一句和第四段内容可知：Owens受到歧视的主要原因是他出生于黑奴家庭，是个非裔美国黑人，遭到种族歧视。4C推理判断题。从文章的最后一段“They have kept me alive over the years”可推知答案。5A主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了Jesses Owens，一位非洲籍美国运动员在奥运会上取得成功的事迹。D：1C

45、事实细节题。第四段“he was concerned about the lack of opportunities for deaf people in America和he went to London to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people”与C项表达虽然不同，但意思基本一致。事实细节题都可从原文中找到答案，只不过为了迷惑考生，常常将原文的表达进行改写，换成另一种说法。所以，照抄原文，一字不改的不一定就是答案，而与原文意思相同的，才是正确的。2A推理判断题。可以用排除法解答此题，B项不可能，C1erc懂法语、手语、还在旅途中学习英语；C项文中既

46、没有说明为什么与Eliza结婚，更谈不上当时是为了“绿卡”。D项没有足够的信息推断挣钱多少。根据文中“an outstanding teacher，learned many different languages, succeeded in school”等信息可以推断he was an intelligent man3B粤实细节题。根据第五段中“they studied English and sign 1anguage，and discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open”可以确定答案是B4 C篇章结构题。根据第三段可知Clerc went to school in Paris, 第四段第三句可知Clerc met Gallaudet第四、五段可知they moved to American，最后一段可知Clerc got married5D主旨大意题。全文围绕Clerc和他对美国聋儿教育的影响，所以D项正确。而A项面太窄，B项偏离主题，本文针对的不是Thomas Gallaudet，C项在文中根本没提到Clerc更愿意做一名教师。5
