解析
本文为夹叙夹议的文章。全文讲述了一个身残志坚的女体操运动员——Lola Walter。她虽然视力有问题，但是却克服自身条件的不足和常人所不能克服的困难，努力练习体操，希望将来能把自己的所学传授给别的孩子。她建议我们要相信自己。
小题1:解析：选C。联系前半句“为了使她的技术完美”我们知道，她每周要训练五天，每天训练四个小时，因此，此处要用trains(训练)一词。
小题2:解析：选A。“That’s especially impressive...”的原因是“she is legally blind”，前后是因果关系，因此，此处用since引导原因状语从句。
小题3:解析：选A。前文提到她的眼睛有毛病，因此，此处指“她看不出/不知道东西离她有多远”，要用tell一词，can’t tell意为“不知道，看不出”。guess猜；assume假定，假设；predict预测，均与语境不符。
小题4:解析：选D。她妈妈无意当中注意到她即使看不清东西，她也不害怕，因此，此处要选D项，指“无意中注意到”。suspect怀疑；remember记住；imagine想象，均不符合语境。
小题5:解析：选B。文章第三段就提到了，她视力有问题，看物体时出现叠影，看不清物体离她有多远，因此，此处要选well。
小题6:解析：选B。通篇都在叙述Lola练习体操，此处用the sport指代gymnastics。
小题7:解析：选C。因为她视力有问题，很明显她学习体操比其他队友要困难(difficult)。
小题8:解析：选D。她是一个很有决心的女孩，她不会让她自身的状况阻止她做她想做的事情。由文章内容可知，此处是指“她视力有问题”这一自身状况，因此选用condition一词，意为“条件”。talent才能；quality品质；nature本性，均不符合语境。
小题9:解析：选C。由本段后面的内容可知，由于她在看物体时有叠影，常常看到两个平衡木，所以平衡木是她最大的挑战(challenge)。
小题10:解析：选D。她闭上眼睛是因为她相信(trust)她的感觉，相信它能带她去她想去的地方。
小题11:解析：选A。因为平衡木只有四英寸宽，因此我们可以说它是最令人害怕的。此处选用fearful，指“令人恐惧的，令人害怕的”。harmful有害的；unfair不公平的；inconvenient不方便的，均不符合语境。
小题12:．解析：选C。fall off从……上掉下来，此处指“她在国家级的比赛中没有从平衡木上掉下来”。后面提到“她得到8.1分——她的最高分”。
小题13:解析：选B。她不想受到与队里别的女孩不一样的对待，指“她希望教练能把她当正常的女孩来看待”。因此，此处要选treated，有“对待”之意。
小题14:解析：选D。上文已提到她有视力方面的问题。
小题15:．解析：选A。在队里时她不希望受到特别的优待，在打比赛时不想让裁判知道她视力有问题，这是因为她把自己当成一个正常人，妈妈对她这种乐观的生活态度感到很吃惊。positive积极的，乐观的，符合语境。friendly友好的；flexible灵活的；cautious小心翼翼的，均不符合语境。
小题16:解析：选B。整篇文章提到她是个很有决心的女孩，她是永远不会放弃的。quit退出，放弃。文中第五段提到never quit(永不放弃)，这也是关键提示。
小题17:解析：选D。达到9级是她的目标，因此此处选用goal，表示“目标”。后面提到她想成为体操教练，也说明她是一个有明确目标的人。
小题18:解析：选C。当她长大后，她要当一名体操教练，把她的所学传授给别的孩子。when she grows up为when引导的时间状语从句。
小题19:解析：选A。be proud of对……自豪；be tired of对……厌倦；be ashamed of对……羞愧；be confident of对……有信心。她对她所有的努力和成功当然是很自豪的。
小题20:解析：选B。“just believe in yourself”是她给别人的建议，因此advice(建议，劝告)为最佳选择。 |
