23、个运动项目。1.B细节理解题。 由第三段第一句“His best friend Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun”可知赞扬他球技的是他最好的朋友Lucas Santos。故选B。2.C细节理解题。本文在介绍Gabriel Muniz的经历时采取了倒叙、插叙的方式,按照事件发生的先后顺序应该是:很小的时候就能走路、足球踢得很好成为学校体育课队长,应邀飞往西班牙参加暑期训练营活动。故选C。3.D推理判断题。 由文章最后一段最后一句“Muniz is hoping that football will one
24、day become a Paralympic (残奥会的) sport.”可知Muniz期待着足球运动能成为残奥会的一个组成部分。故选D。4.C主旨大意题。 根据文章第一段“When your dream is to become a footballer and play for Barcelona, nothing should get in your wayeven if you have no feet.”可知当你的梦想确定后,没有什么能够阻挡你。后文通过实例进一步证明Muniz即使没有双脚却依然能踢足球,实现自己的足球运动员梦想,所以与“有志者事竟成”意义相符。故选C。.15CDBBA610CDABC1115BADAC.1.for2.to know3.glasses4.went5.a6.Suddenly7.colder8.but9.his10.What.1.praised2.sadness3.painful4.suggested5.worth6.except7.prefers8.supposed9.director10.seasons
