44、e fullest.” 可知,作者在经历了车祸之后仍然保持坚强,还向自己许下了一个承诺:要一直过最充实的生活,所以作者面对生活仍然保持积极向上的态度。5.A细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“The joy of being able to provide this gift to someone else was greater than the happiness I felt on any day I was able to wear it myself.” 可知,对作者而言,能把这份礼物送给别人比她能自己穿戴更幸福,所以作者快乐的原因在于能够帮助别人。6.B细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“
45、I was not only confident but I wanted to help those around me.”可知,作者不仅自信了,她还想把这种自信传递给他人,去帮助别人,使别人也充满自信。7.C写作目的题。文章主要介绍了作者与读者分享她过去与残疾做斗争的经历,以及在这个过程中发现了自己的人生梦想。根据文章最后一段中的“My dream is that one day a little girl will see me in a magazine.My dream is simple:to inspire every man.”可知,作者的梦想是能够激励别人。【语篇导读】本文是

52、不上大学”和上文构成因果关系。2.F根据下文“We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation.More knowledge will be gained after you start working.”可知,本段叙述学校中获取知识对工作的影响。由此可推断出空格处是与从学校教育中获取知识有关。F项“学校和大学是获取知识的第一个地方”符合语境,而且knowledge为同词复现。3.B根据空格后的“Other cultures have valuable things to share,enriching
53、our own.”可知,我们的文化并不是唯一的,还有其他的文化丰富我们的知识,所以B项“我们逐渐了解我们的文化并不是唯一的文化”可引出下文。4.E上文提到“当你技术娴熟、知识渊博时,你就能接触到有着相同背景和品位的人”。由此可知,因为接触到更多有相同背景和品位的人,自然会让你有更多更好的人际关系。E项“这意味着良好的教育会带来良好的人际关系网”符合题意。5.D空格处是本段的总结。根据空格后提到的“你可以谈论一些想法和事件,而不仅仅是谈论其他人和商店里的特价商品。一个受过教育的人不会说闲话,他喜欢讨论想法,倾听别人的意见”可知,本段是说良好的教育会让你谈吐恰当,成为有能力的人,有趣的人。D项“良好的教育使你成为一个更有趣的人”与本段意义一致。
