He has formed bubbles around hundreds of people, made large bubbles that his daughter can walk through, and even made square bubbles. Yang calls himself a “bubble artist” and “bubble scientist”. “So far, I havent met any other bubble scientists！” he says.To achieve what he wanted, Yang worked hard for years. “After many years of failure, I finally came out with a bubble solution that made big bubbles with beautiful colors.” Five years later, after lots more practice and experiments, he created the worlds largest bubble, which was 156 feet long.Yang designed a program called the Gazillion Bubble Show. He has many performance tips to offer. He says its good to make the audience feel tension (紧张) so that they are surprised at the end of a trick (把戏). He also suggests doing performances that are fun to watch, so that the audience will stay interested the whole time.To perform his tricks, Yang uses bubble equipment that he created himself. He wants kids to know that theyre not limited (受限制的) by anything except their imaginations, and they can create whatever they want to help them follow their interests.“To make art, you need time, love, and hard work, which guided my life and made me successful. I am proud to say that I used something simple bubbles and brought it to a completely new world.”语篇解读：本文是记叙文。介绍了世界上著名的泡泡达人、艺术家、表演家杨凡。4Yang Fans bubbles _.Aare easy to breakBare of different shapesCcome from his hometown riverDcan change into different colors解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段“large bubbles that his daughter can walk through, and even made square bubbles.”可知杨凡制造的气泡形状各异。5The audience who enjoy the Gazillion Bubble Show will _.Afeel relaxed all the timeBalways show great interestCplay tricks on the performerDknow how to make big bubbles解析：选B细节理解题。根据第四段“the audience will stay interested the whole time”可知，在Gazillion Bubble Show中杨凡会制造出紧张气氛使观众始终保持对表演的兴趣。6What can we know about Yang Fan?AHe created the worlds smallest bubble.BHe made all his bubble equipment by himself.CHe is one of the best bubble scientists in the world.DHis daughter is studying bubble performances under him.解析：选B细节理解题。由第五段的“To perform his tricks, Yang uses bubble equipment that he created himself”可知。7What does Yangs story tell us?AHe laughs best that laughs last.BTwo heads are better than one.CDetail is the key to success.DWhere theres a will, theres a way.解析：选D推理判断题。杨凡为了实现儿时的梦想，即使失败也不断努力，最终成为了成功人士。他的故事告诉我们：有志者事竟成。CCarl Joseph was born without a left leg.He was raised by a single mom and grew up in Florida on a farm.He was the fourth of 10 children.Facing so many difficulties that most people could only imagine, Carl wasnt discouraged.Sports provided a chance for him to overcome his difficulties.In high school, Carl played basketball, football and track (径赛运动) all done without the aid of his prosthesis (假肢)In basketball, he could dunk (扣篮)even though he was only 6 feet 1 inch tall.In football, as a leader of a team, he played very well.He even played college football at Bethune Cookman College.In track, he once jumped 5 feet 10 inches high in the high jump.He didnt let the mere absence of a leg stop him from competing as an equal and even excelling in high school sports.Named “Sugarfoot”， Carl also did well in his subjects at school.Carl was so good mainly because of his mother.He said, “My mom never felt sorry for me, and I never felt sorry for myself.Believe you can do it, and Christ does the rest.”The Florida High School Athletic Association invited Carl into the Hall of Fame.Carls statement included this line, “A onelegged athlete in the Hall of Fame gives hope to disabled people.Anything is possible if you put your mind to it and never give up.”Former football star, Dan Dierdorf, called him “the most amazing athlete Ive ever seen”His story of faith, courage and heart really inspired millions of people.语篇解读：卡尔约瑟夫一出生就缺少一条腿，但是他克服困难，从未放弃，在体育和学业上都表现出色，后来，他得到了足球明星丹迪多夫的高度评价。8Which may not be the difficulty Carl Joseph had to face?AHe was born as a disabled boy.BHe was raised by a single mom.C10 kids needed to be supported in his family.DHe grew up on a farm alone.解析：选D细节理解题。第一段中讲卡尔约瑟夫一出生就少一条腿，家里总共有10个孩子需要单亲妈妈来抚养，这都是他要面临的困难。故D项不是他所面临的困难。9What can we know from the second paragraph?ACarl could jump high with the aid of prosthesis.BCarl did well in both sports and studies.CCarl was laughed at and named “Sugarfoot”DCarl was too short to play basketball well.解析：选B推理判断题。第二段介绍了他在体育方面的出色表现，根据最后一句“.Carl also did well in his subjects at school.”判断，他不仅在体育上表现出色，而且在学校的各个科目上都做得很好，故B项正确。10Carl owed his great achievements to _.Ahis motherBhis brotherChis coach Dhis religion解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Carl was so good mainly because of his mother.”可知，卡尔认为自己的出色表现主要是因为妈妈，故A项正确。11From what Dan Dierdorf said, it can be inferred that _.Ahe spoke highly of Carls abilitiesBhe had never met with Carl beforeChe thought of Carl as the best playerDhe suspected what Carl had done解析：选A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“the most amazing athlete Ive ever seen”可知，丹迪多夫认为卡尔是自己所见过的最为惊人的运动员，由此可看出他对卡尔给予了很高的评价。DScott Joplin was the second of seven children.
