（2021·甘肃兰州·中考真题）Six weeks before his 97th birthday, Giuseppe Paterno made his dream of a lifetime come true: He got a university degree. Mr. Paterno’s story has been reported around the world, and draws wide attention, partly because of his age, the more important part is that his life story shows his belief. He has encouraged millions of children in Italy and elsewhere while they are facing difficulties during the coronavirus pandemic （新冠疫情）. Born in Palermo in 1923, the first of seven children in a very poor family, Mr. Paterno began working soon after finishing primary school. It was only after he retired in the mid-1980s that he returned to his books. “His story shows that dreams can come true and that you can remain young—not in age but in spirit —if you develop interests,” said Rosella Cancila, his teacher of history at the University of Palermo. Italy’s university system is based on a three-year degree, then a two-year master’s course. University officials are hoping that Mr. Paterno will continue his studies. But he isn’t so sure. “I have to say that in this moment, I don’t know whether I would keep on studying with the same spirit,” he said, adding that all the attention had made him a bit tired. Still, Mr. Paterno said that he would probably try to get his master’s degree but he hadn’t decided yet. 【重点单词】degree n.学位get a university degree获得大学学位draw wide attention引起广泛关注belief n.信念millions of 成千上万的primary school小学retire vt.退休remain vt. 保持spirit n.精神system n.体系be based on以...为基础official n.行政长官keep on studying继续学习 add vt.增加 probably adv.大概、可能【语法要点】 1....make his dream of a lifetime come true2....had made him a bit tired make +宾语+宾语补足语。 make 带有一个复合宾语结构：即宾语+宾语补足语作宾语补足语的可以是省略to的不定式,构成make sb. do sth ，也可以是形容词，构成make sb. + adj. 。第一句中 come true作宾语补足语；第二句中为形容词短语 a bit tired作宾语补足语。

【文章大意】 本文讲述了97岁高龄的Giuseppe Pateno成功获得了大学学位，实现了自己一生的梦想。
B细节理解题。题干的中心词是 dream of a lifetime，根据“Giuseppe Patemo made his dream of a lifetime come true:He got a university degree.”可知，Giuseppe Patemo一生的梦想是得到大学学位。故选B。
C.推理判断题。题干的关键词是why,和 go to work soon。这是一个因果关系题。 根据第三段Born in Palermo in 1923, the first of seven children in a very poor family可知因为家里穷，他不得不小学毕业就去打工。
3.B细节理解题。根据题干developing interests定位，答案在“His story shows that dreams can come true and that you can remain young-not in age but in spirit-if you develop interests”由此可知，培养兴趣可以让人保持精神上的年轻。句中remain对应题干的stay,故选B。
4.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段“ adding that all the attention had made him a bit tired ”可知所有的关注让他感到有点累。故选A。
5.D主旨大意题。根据第一段并结合前文内容可知，本文讲述了97岁高龄的Giuseppe Patermo成功获得了大学学位，实现了自己一生的梦想，所以D选项“追求梦想永远不会太迟。”是本文最佳标题。故选D。
