Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Fresh off the biggest win of her short gymnastics career, 16 year old Morgan Hurd and her coach, Siava Glazunov, landed at Philadelphia International Airport, headed to baggage claim and prepared for the hour long drive home to Middletown, Delaware. It was a dull drill they'd performed hundreds of times before.
She is that gymnast who competes wearing glasses. She is so petite (娇小) that she looks tiny standing next to other gymnasts.
“No one is born perfect,” Hurd says. “You will have imperfections. I hope more people see me and try to do sports or gymnastics with glasses. Nothing should stop you from doing something you are passionate about.”
Hurd was 11 months old when her mom, Sherri, adopted her from Wenzhou, China, and brought her to Middletown. When Morgan was 3, Sherri began signing her up for various sports—gymnastics, soccer, T ball, dance. Because of her size, most sports were tough. But at gymnastics class, being tiny and flexible was a gift. By the fifth grade, her talent had outgrown her classes, so Sherri brought her to First State.
“She stood out from the start,” Glazunov says. “She exhibited that desire. She loves to impress and she wanted it always. No one ever had to tell her to work hard.”
A single mom, Sherri worked as a dental hygienist for 30 years until retiring and taking a job for Discover Bank that allowed her to work from home, support her daughter's home schooling and help her daughter's gymnastics career.
“Who would have known when I went to get that little girl in China what was going to happen,” Sherri says. “This is our life now, but that is what I want for her, a life that is as fulfilling and happy as possible.”
1.What makes Morgan Hurd different from other athletes
A.She is a poor child who has a single mother.
B.She is an orphan who was adopted from China.
C.She is the gymnast who competed wearing glasses.
D.She is an athlete who first won the champion at 16.
2.Why did Sherri take a job for Discover Bank
A.She enjoyed working at home.
B.She didn't like the previous one.
C.She needed a thorough career change.
D.She could give her full support to Morgan.
3.Which of the following best describes Morgan Hurd
A.Tiny and perfect.
B.Talented and outstanding.
C.Flexible but incapable.
D.Passionate but proud.
4.In which column of a website can you most probably read this text

That morning, I dropped our eldest at kindergarten and returned home to let our two younger children play while I worked on my medical report. It was wonderful, but it hit me that my career in hospital wasn't making a difference in anyone's life. I needed something that would stretch my limits and push me to grow. My career enabled me to work from home. I could work from home, and become a foster (领养) mother, providing safety for a child who needed it desperately.
On Monday morning, I picked up the phone and dialed the number I had googled for the nearest Department of Children' Services. The man on the other end was receptive to my questions and explained the next step of training, involving eight weeks of classes designed to prepare and educate foster parents. We continued through all the classes, the home visits, background checks, and seemingly endless steps.
Five long months after we were approved, the phone rang. In the middle of the night, I woke my husband and rushed to East Tennessee Children's Hospital. Our placement was waiting for us in the emergency room, sick and lack of nutrition. It didn't take long for us to realize the full depth of her suffering. Six months later, her half brother came to us by our request. We now had five children under our care.
On August 12, 2016, our family of seven walked into a small courtroom. The children's lawyer and social worker were there. With just a few words, our adoption was finalized. These two amazing children weren't going home, because they were already home. We are their forever family and they are our forever children. We may not be able to change the entire world, but we have changed the world entirely for our new children.

8.Why did the author appear at the courtroom

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国国家体操队运动员摩根·赫德的成长经历。
1.C 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She is that gymnast who competes wearing glasses.”和第三段中“I hope more people see me and try to do sports or gymnastics with glasses.” 可知,摩根·赫德是戴着眼镜参加比赛的体操运动员。她希望有更多的人试着戴着眼镜做运动。因此,摩根与其他运动员的不同之处在于她戴着眼镜参加体操比赛。故选C。
2.D 解析:推理判断题。根据第六段中的“...taking a job for Discover Bank that allowed her to work from home, support her daughter's home schooling and help her daughter's gymnastics career.(在发现银行的工作让她可以在家工作、支持女儿在家接受教育,并帮助女儿的体操事业。)”由此可以推断,摩根·赫德的妈妈退休后接受在发现银行的工作是为了全力支持摩根。故选D。
3.B 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“By the fifth grade, her talent had outgrown her classes”和第五段中的“She stood out from the start”可知,摩根在体操方面很有天赋,并且她的教练认为她一开始就很出色。故选B。

6.A 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It was wonderful, but...who needed it desperately.”可知,作者意识到在医院的工作并没有改变任何人的生活,她需要一些能拓展她的极限、推动她成长的东西。于是希望挑战自己的能力,为需要安全的孩子提供安全的成长环境,由此可推知作者收养孩子的原因是她想给别人的生活造成影响。故选A。
7.A 解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Our placement was waiting for us in the emergency room,...under our care.”可知,“我们”的placement在医院的急诊室等待作者,一脸的病态,并且营养不良。没过多久“我们”就意识到她的痛苦有多深。六个月后,她同父异母的弟弟应“我们”的要求来找“我们”。“我们”现在照顾五个孩子。故这里的placement指作者准备领养的孩子。故选A。
8.D 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“On August 12, 2016, our family of seven walked into a small courtroom. The children's lawyer and social worker were there. With just a few words, our adoption was finalized.”可知,2016年8月12日,“我们”一家七口走进一个小法庭。孩子们的律师和社会工作者都在那里。只说了几句话,“我们”的收养就完成了。由此可推断,作者出现在法庭上是为了使收养正式合法化。故选D。
