6．After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program，her mother recalled，Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices．"Everyone else was already admitted to college，"her mother，Rosemarie Colvin，said from the family home．"So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said，‘You have to let me in．'"
"Impressed--she was a National Merit （全國英才） finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil--Yale did，admitting her to the class of 1978，where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist，"her mother said．
On Wednesday，Marie Colvin，56，an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London，was killed as Syrian forces shelled（炮擊） the city of Homs．She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack．
"She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday"，Mrs．Colvin said．"Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out．She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it．"
Mrs．Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones．"If you knew my daughter，"she said，"it would have been such a waste of words．She was determined，she was enthusiastic about what she did，it was her life．There was no saying‘Don't do this．'This is who she was，absolutely who she was and what she believed in：cover the story，not just have pictures of it，but bring it to life in the deepest way you could．""So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism，"her mother said．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們講述了Mrs．Colvin回憶女兒Marie Colvin的一些故事，從中我們可以知道：她的女兒是一位優(yōu)秀的新聞記者，在敘利亞沖突地區(qū)作報道時不幸殉職．
解答 51．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段"So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said，‘You have to let me in可知，Marie Colvin因在巴西參加一個為期一年的交換生項目而錯過了大學錄取時間，所以她就直接開車去了耶魯大學，讓耶魯大學錄取她，由此可推斷出，Marie Colvin很自信；故選B．
52．D．細節(jié)理解題．通讀全文可知，Marie Colvin先參加了在巴西的一個交換生項目，然后被耶魯大學錄取，接著她對新聞業(yè)產(chǎn)生興趣，被倫敦的《星期日泰晤士報》雇用，最后在敘利亞作報道時被殺害；故選D．
53．C．推理判斷題．從最后一段"She was determined，she was enthusiastic about what she did，it was her life"Mrs．Colvin對自己女兒的介紹可知，她對自己的女兒很了解，知道自己女兒的個性以及女兒的內(nèi)心世界；故選C．
54．D．主旨大意題．通讀全文可知，本文主要講述了Mrs．Colvin回憶女兒Marie Colvin的一些故事，從中我們可以知道：她的女兒是一位優(yōu)秀的新聞記者，在敘利亞沖突地區(qū)作報道時不幸殉職，因此最佳標題為回憶她的女兒，一個在敘利亞被殺的記者；故選D．
