參考答案一、閱讀理解【答案】14ACCA【解析】1．A根據(jù)第一段最后兩句以及第三段最后一句可知，作者的父母并不支持女兒，談不上“鼓勵”或“熱情”，但是也沒有反對，談不上“擔(dān)憂”，因此，他們對女兒的夢想能否成功實現(xiàn)是持懷疑的態(tài)度。故選A。2．C根據(jù)下文butwitheveryclayIdidn'treceiveacall,Igrewmoredepressed.ThefinalstrawcameinJulyafterIhaddecidedtofocusonmercialmodeling.但是每一天我都沒接到一個電話,我變得越來越沮喪，我決定把重點放在商業(yè)模式上之后，最后一根稻草出現(xiàn)在七月?？芍狟UT前的意思是：代理商派我出去試鏡?？芍獎澗€詞的意思是：試鏡。故選C。3．C通讀全文可知，作者因為身高問題屢遭模特公司的拒絕，由此推斷，她意識到自己不可能成為模特了。故選C。4．A根據(jù)文章最后一段最后一句Theexperiencehasmademestrongerandthatwillhelpmeinthefuture.可知選A項。二、七選五【答案】15AFCDG【解析】1．A根據(jù)上文：我被醫(yī)院告訴我所做的事情幫助營救了老人的命。我聽到那很高興。happy和sad是一對反義詞。由此可知A項，YetatthesametimeIfeltabitsad.（然而，與此同時我也感到有點悲傷。）符合題意。Yetatthesametime是解題關(guān)鍵，表明“高興之余，還有點悲傷”。yet然而，表示轉(zhuǎn)折。2．F根據(jù)下句：這里是我的一些理由。是什么理由呢？由此可知F項放在空前最合適。F項，Ithinkeveryoneshouldlearnatleastsomebasicfirstaidtechniques,whichcanbeveryvital.我認(rèn)為每個人至少要學(xué)一些最基本的急救知識，這可能是非常重要的。3．C根據(jù)下文：對你的家庭，你的鄰居或更大點的社區(qū)來說，有更多急救技能的人有助于建立一個更強(qiáng)壯和更和諧的社區(qū)。可知：你可以成為你社區(qū)的一個資源。故選C。4．D根據(jù)上句：你能在工作中處于安全狀態(tài)。再根據(jù)空格下句：有急救知識你
