Question

【題目】【原創(chuàng)】Noah McQueen is part of "My Brother's Keeper," a White House program aimed at young men of color.

His teen years have been rough, and include several arrests and a short period of being in prison. But last week, he was at the White House talking with President Obama.

"Growing up, I didn't have a stable household. I attended eight schools in three years," McQueen says.

McQueen adds his dad lives down the street from him, but he doesn't really have a relationship with him.

"That's one of the things we have in common," Obama says. "As I get older, I start reflecting on how that affected me. How do you think that affected you?"

"I think I learn right and wrong on my own terms." McQueen says.

"Obviously you've straightened yourself out and become successful as a black man. " Obama says. " But did you feel pressure to look back on the way you once acted?"

"Definitely, there's always pressure." McQueen says, " People will say, 'You are the success story,' but it's hard to always make the right decision and always be the leader."

"You shouldn't feel like you can't make mistakes.” Obama says. “You've discovered this strength inside yourself. If you stay true to that voice that clearly knows what's right and what's wrong, sometimes you're going to mess up, but you can steer back and keep going."

About his future plan, McQueen says" I want to do education because I want to work with kids," "You know, to see the beginnings, and to see where I was, to see the exact same kid doing the exact same thing. And it's like, we owe it to everyone and ourselves to come back and change that. That's like our duty.

"Yeah, and Noah, I just want to say how proud I am of you, man," Obama says. "It's not an easy thing to do what you've done. And I think you give others a lot of confidence and a sense of what's possible for them. And that makes me real proud. I know you're going to do great things."

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了曾經(jīng)走過彎路，甚至坐過監(jiān)獄，但是最后改邪歸的McQueen參加了幫助黑人孩子的教育項目，并且取得了一定成績受到總統(tǒng)的接見和贊揚。

【1】C詞義猜測題。從上文內(nèi)容可知McQueen走過彎路，犯過錯，但是又重新開始了新生活，在此奧巴馬是鼓勵他不要怕犯錯，只要聽從自己內(nèi)心正確的引導(dǎo)，他還是會及時轉(zhuǎn)彎，走上正確道路的。

【2】B推理判斷題。本文是奧巴馬在白宮會見18歲的年輕人Noah McQueen時的采訪記錄，在文中奧巴馬鼓勵McQueen繼續(xù)努力，去實現(xiàn)自己的夢想。由此判斷選B。而根據(jù)第四、五段內(nèi)容可知奧巴馬在少年時和父親關(guān)系不好；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段內(nèi)容"You shouldn't feel like you can't make mistakes.”可知C選項錯誤；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容可知從事教育和孩子們在一起是McQueen自己的夢想，故D選項錯誤。

【3】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段可知McQueen想從事教育的目的是想重新回到自己的起點，重溫自己的童年時代，糾正自己的過錯并且?guī)椭�孩子們一起健康成長。

【4】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章首段Noah McQueen is part of "My Brother's Keeper," a White House program aimed at young men of color.可知"My Brother's Keeper"是白宮創(chuàng)辦的一個項目，故選D。根據(jù)第二段He was once in prison可知他坐過牢，判斷B選項正確；從文章末段奧巴馬的話判斷C選項正確；從第七段"Obviously you've straightened yourself out and become successful as a black man.可知McQueen是個黑人青年，故A選項內(nèi)容正確。

【5】A主旨大意題。本文介紹了奧巴馬總統(tǒng)接見黑人青年McQueen的事情， McQueen曾經(jīng)犯過錯，坐過牢，但是他浪子回頭，如今努力去從事教育事業(yè)，奧巴馬鼓勵他要繼續(xù)努力，不怕在人生中走錯路，要聽從內(nèi)心正義的呼喚，做一番有用的事業(yè)，由此判斷A選項可以體現(xiàn)文章中心。
