At age 8, she informed me she planned to become a filmmaker and stuck to that until, at 17, she and I decided that instead of taking a course in film, she should be apprenticed to a brilliant sound editor, Bruce Nyznik, and his talented associates such as Peter Tilley, with whom I was then working.Martas love of trains led to the creation of her first film, Train of Thought, in 1991. After that transition from sound to film, she continued to direct and produce, as well as edit. Her works include Shattered Dreams, a 2006 documentary about a disadvantaged youth in Toronto; The Saviour of Ceylon, a film about the heroism of RCAF officer Leonard Birchall; and the sevenpart television series Being 80 with Jean Vanier.Marta was diagnosed with cancer nine years before her death. She saw her cancer as something to be grateful for because it made her concentrate her attention on lasting spiritual realities, rather than the temporary passions that define most of our lives and most of the time.Marta had worked as an editor and director on more than 30 films with Jean Vanier, the founder of LArche, an international organization that assists the developmentally handicapped. So she came to her great trial with some hope that her physical pain could promote spiritual growth. She had had little contact with formal religious practice, so what changed her was having to find the meaning of the cancer that threatened her life.In her final year or so, she began to write about her experience with cancer and the enlightenment (启发) that came with it. She meant to give purpose to her life by helping others. Above all, she wanted her friends and family to share the help she was able to give.In a conversation shortly before Martas death, I expressed some discouragement in my life, and she advised me to concentrate on something for which I was grateful.语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了Marta如何在电影上取得成功的故事。Marta的天赋和她那顽强的精神深深地打动了作者，也给了作者寻求生活意义的动力。4What did Marta do in order to achieve her goal?AShe decided to pay a visit to Bruce Nyznik.BShe planned to take a related course.CShe wanted to learn from a famous sound editor.DShe hoped to make friends with Peter Tilley.解析：选C细节理解题。依据文章第一段中的“she should be apprenticed to a brilliant sound editor, Bruce Nyznik”可知，Marta不想学习电影方面的课程，而是直接跟着音效剪辑师学习。5After Marta was diagnosed with cancer _.Ashe had to turn her attention to her conditionBshe produced over 30 films with Jean VanierCshe realized what defined most of her lifeDshe took a positive attitude toward life解析：选D细节理解题。依据文章第三、四段可知，从Marta被确诊为癌症之后，她并没有屈服于癌症，而是把它看作令人感激的事。由此可知，她很乐观。6Marta wrote about her experience with cancer _.Ato share it with other cancer victimsBto remind her family of her serious illnessCto provide help for othersDto provide information for cancer research解析：选C细节理解题。依据文章倒数第二段中的“give purpose to her life by helping others .she wanted her friends and family to share the help she was able to give”可知，她想用这种方式帮助他人。7What do you think of Marta in the passage?AHardworking.BInspiring.CHumorous.
