參考答案：

A

1.根據(jù)第二段第—句"Montagufirstwitnessedinoculationwhensheaccompaniedher

husbandtoTurkeyin1717.（1717年，蒙塔古第一次目睹了疫苗接種，當(dāng)時(shí)她陪丈夫去了土

耳其。）”可知，第二段說的是她在土耳其第一次看到了有人接種的行為，也就是第一次接

觸到這種情況。故選B。

2.根據(jù)第三段中“Inoculationperformedbyunlicensedamateurswouldthreatendoctors*

professionalstandingandpotentiallyrobthemofvaluableincome.（由無執(zhí)照的業(yè)余醫(yī)師進(jìn)行接

種會(huì)威脅到醫(yī)生的職業(yè)地位，并有可能剝奪他們寶貴的收入。）”可知，Montagu發(fā)現(xiàn)在英

國接種疫苗很困難，因?yàn)樗赡軙?huì)損害醫(yī)生的利益。故選B。

3.根據(jù)第四段中wEventually,inApril1721,shedecidedtousetheTurkishpracticetohave

herdaughterinoculated,becauseshebelievedthattherewardswouldoutweightherisks.Aftera

會(huì)大于風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。在接種疫苗后的一段安全時(shí)間過后,Montagu允許醫(yī)生為她的女兒進(jìn)行檢查。）”

可知，Montagu的女兒接種的結(jié)果使英國的醫(yī)生們接受了接種。故選C。

4.這篇文章圍繞的是M這個(gè)人將接種疫苗引進(jìn)當(dāng)?shù)氐倪^程，期間還將女兒作為實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)

象，可見她對(duì)醫(yī)學(xué)事業(yè)的奉獻(xiàn)精神。B談創(chuàng)造，偏離主題；C講疫苗本身的發(fā)展，不全面；

D講歷史性的醫(yī)學(xué)創(chuàng)新，不符合主旨。故選A。

也可以成為自己想成為的人。）”可知，Rosados的目的是建立一個(gè)特殊的比賽來鼓勵(lì)殘疾

兒童做出改變。故選C。

2o根據(jù)文章第三段Sebastianhasruniteveryyearusingaspecialwalker.（Sebastian每

年都用一種特殊的助行器來行走。）”可知，他用一個(gè)特殊的設(shè)備來進(jìn)行比賽。故選D。

3。根據(jù)文章第四段“Sebastianusedtotraininatrackandfieldfacilityclosetohome,andifs

amazingtohearrunnerstellinghimthingslike,"Wow,sometimesIdon'thavethestrengthto

trainbutwhenIseeyoudoingthis,IfeelthatIhavenoexcuse,"62swimmersarejoining

Sebastian'schallengethismonthbyswimming800meterseachone.（Sebastian曾經(jīng)在離家不遠(yuǎn)

的田徑設(shè)施里訓(xùn)練，聽到跑步者對(duì)他說，“哇，有時(shí)我沒有力氣訓(xùn)練，但當(dāng)我看到你這么做

時(shí)，我覺得我沒有借口。”這真是太棒了，這個(gè)月62名游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員加入了Sebastian的挑戰(zhàn)，

每個(gè)人都游了800米。）可知，Sebastian的行為鼓勵(lì)了很多人，由此可推知，Sebastian是

鼓舞人心的。故選B。

4?根據(jù)文章最后一段aSebastianhasasayingthatyourdisabilityisnotinyourbody,butin

yourmind.It'sreallypowerful.Ifyoupromiseyourselfyou'lldosomething,youcanachieveitby

usingyourmind.（Sebastian說過，你的殘疾不是在你的身體上，而是在你的思想上。真的很
