11、dwithteary-eyedaudiencewantingtosaygood-byetotheoldbuilding.”可以推知,觀眾對(duì)老劇院依依不舍。teary-eyed“熱淚盈眶的”。 B (2019·全國(guó)Ⅲ卷,C) Before the 1830s,most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America,usually $8 to $10 a year.Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money,but at that time these amounts

12、were forbidding to most citizens.Accordingly,newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades.In addition,most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience.They were dull and visually forbidding.But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s woul

This new

I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class,the

22、teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn’t do either well.He later informed me that I was “not athletic”. The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s,I realized running was a battle against myself,not about competition or whether

23、 or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills! The night before my marathon,I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous,but ready to prove something to myself. Shortly after crossing the start line,my shoe lace

24、s(鞋帶) became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted! At mile 3,I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT,RUNNERS!” By mile 17,I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain,I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again. By mile 21,I was starving! As I a

25、pproached mile 23,I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running. I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact,I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came

30、的一個(gè)月,腳踝受傷,但他依然堅(jiān)持參加比賽,最終跑完了全程。作者之所以能完成,靠的是堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志。故選B項(xiàng)。 D Raised by a single mother in Hartford,Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another.He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for. “I was walking around with a lot on

31、my shoulders,” he said.“I couldn’t handle it.I didn’t care about life anymore.” But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly. “I was seven when I met Mrs Kelly.I wasn’t used to strictness.I wasn’t used to hearing the word ‘no’,”said Wright,now 17. Kelly,a former soldier and an equ

32、estrian(騎手),took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place—on a horse. “Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole,” Kelly said.“He was hurting.He needed a place where he could express himself.The riding field became that place for

33、 him.” For the last 30 years,Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her non-profit,Ebony Horsewomen.The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young people a year.By exposing those children to horsemanship,Kelly aims to give them an al

34、ternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around. “We use horses as a hook to create pride,esteem and healing,” said Kelly,66.“They learn that they have ability.They just have to unlock it.” “When you teach a child to ride a horse,they learn they are the center of their envir

35、onment,” said Kelly.“Once they make that connection,they can change what happens in school,at home and in the community.” 【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了Kelly建立的EbonyHorsewomen組織通過(guò)教孩子騎馬幫助那些表現(xiàn)不好的孩子成長(zhǎng)的故事。 1.WhydidFredWrighthavetomovefromoneschooltoanother?

37、 him with a home. B.She encouraged him to learn science. C.She exposed him to the riding field.

40、最后兩段內(nèi)容可知,Kelly建立的EbonyHorsewomen把馬作為創(chuàng)造驕傲、自尊的方法和治療的手段,讓孩子們意識(shí)到他們有能力,只是需要被發(fā)掘出來(lái)。由此可推知,騎馬對(duì)孩子們的成長(zhǎng)有幫助。故選A項(xiàng)。 E Many students have to live with roommates while going to school or university.Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences,or easily one of the worst.　1　?
