Question

When other nine-year–old kids were playing games , she was working at a petrol station．When other teens were studying or going out , she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street．But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholar and gain entry to Harvard University．
Her amazing story has inspired a move , “ Homeless to Harvard : The Liz Murray Story ”, shown in late April．
Liz Murray , a year- old American girl , has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination．
Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted．There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house．Liz was the only member of the family who had a job．
Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old．The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life．Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died , she decided to do something about it．
Liz went back to school．She threw herself into her studies , never telling her teachers that she was homeless．At night , she lived on the streets．
“ What drove me to survive had to do with understanding , by understanding that there was a whole other way of being．I had only experienced a small part of the society , ” she wrote in her book “ Breaking Night ”．
She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on．She used the benefits that come easily to others , such as a safe living environment , to encourage herself that “ next to nothing could hold me down ”．
She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University．But Liz decided to leave her top university for a couple of moths earlier this year in order to take care of her father , who has also developed AIDS．“ I love my parents so much．They are drug addicts．But I never forget that they love me all the time．”
Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “ as simple a making a decision．”

試題分析：本文講述了美國(guó)的一個(gè)女孩靠自己的意志力和決心，克服了種種困難，考取了哈佛大學(xué)的故事。
小題1:A 排序題。根據(jù)第4段可知她媽媽是在他15歲的時(shí)候去世的，而第一段中說(shuō)她9歲就工作了，說(shuō)明b在a前面；媽媽去世以后她才難以找到睡覺(jué)的地方，最后她考取了哈佛大學(xué)，故A正確。本題可以使用排除法。
小題2:D 推理題。根據(jù)第四段4,5行．Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died , she decided to do something about it．和What drove me to survive had to do with understanding , by understanding that there was a whole other way of being．I had only experienced a small part of the society 說(shuō)明他決定要采取方法讓自己擺脫媽媽所在的環(huán)境而去體驗(yàn)一種新的環(huán)境了，故D正確。
小題3:D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段Liz Murray , a year- old American girl , has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination．說(shuō)明她是用自己的意志力和決心才做到這一點(diǎn)的，故D正確。
小題4:B 推理題。根據(jù)“ What drove me to survive had to do with understanding , by understanding that there was a whole other way of being．I had only experienced a small part of the society , ”說(shuō)明她想體驗(yàn)生活的其它方面的內(nèi)容，所以她才下定決心
改變這一切。
