B.a;theC.the;/

D.a;/参考答案：C考查冠词，句意:这本书讲述了约翰?史密斯一生的故事，他在18岁的时候离开学校并且为一家报社工作，这个故事用以特指约翰?史密斯的故事应用定冠词the，常用搭配leaveschool意为:退学，故选C.【点睛】考查学生对冠词的灵活运用，应准确把握a，an

，the和零冠词的用法并结合句意做出判断。不定冠词分为a与an两种形式，主要用于单数可数名词前表示类别、数量及一些习惯搭配之中。a用在以辅音音素开头的名词之前。an用在以元音音素开头的名词之前。定冠词的用法较复杂，一般the表示特指某人某物某事。此题特指约翰?史密斯的故事应用定冠词the，再加上固定搭配，省去冠词。14.Hemakes1500Yuanaweek.300Yuansurelywon’tmake____differencetohim.A.thatabig

15.D本文讲述了一个84岁的老太太仍在追逐梦想，不顾家人和医生的反对选择体验跳伞，最后她成功了。通过这个故事告诉大家无论年龄大小都不要停止追逐梦想的脚步。12.细节理解题。根据第二段中statingGeorgeBrushSr.diditatage80.Whynotme?Iwasjust84andinprettygoodhealth.（GeorgeBrushSr.做这个的时候80岁。为什么我不行？我才84岁而且身体很好。）可知，作者以此来使自己的观点更有说服力。故选A。13.推理判断题。由第三段Whenwefirsthittheair,thewindwassostrongthatIcouldhardlybreathe.（当我们第一次击中空气，风是如此强烈，我几乎不能呼吸。）可推知，作者此时是有点后悔，故选B。14.细节理解题。根据第三段倒数两句BeingupinthecloudsandlookingattheviewbelowwasunlikeanythingIhaveeverfelt—muchbetterthanthehotairballoon.Iwasjustenjoyingit.（站在云端，看着下面的景色不像我曾经感觉到的那样，比热气球上的景色好。我只是享受它。）可知，作者是在欣赏美景，故选B。15.标题判断题。本文主要介绍了84岁老太太的跳伞经验，所以中心词是skydiving。因为她跳伞时84岁了，这是了不起的，故D项是最佳标题。20.WhenIwasgrowingup,Oprahwasmyfavoriteimaginaryauntie.ShelivedinsidetheTVandIlookedforwardtovisitinghereverydayat4P.M.ForonehoureveryMondaythroughFriday,IgottowatchaBlackwomancommandtheairwavesandhavecontrolovertheworld.AsalittleblackgirlinabigWhiteworld,thatwasapowerfulthingtowitness—especiallyinaculturewheregirlslikemeseldomsawourselvespositivelyreflectedinthemedia.Thekindofbeautycelebratedaroundushadawayofmakinglittleblackgirlsfeelasifthebodieswewerebornintoweresomehowinferior.ApartfromAuntieOprah,themedia’sportrayalofBlackwomenwastoagreatextentlimitedinvariety.Luckily,Ihadstrongexamplesofwomenofcolor1inmyreallifewhowateredtheseedsthathelpedmebelieveIcoulddreambeyondwhatIsawaroundme.Fast-forwardtotwoyearsago,whenIwasappointedbylongtimeVogueeditor-in-chiefAnnaWintourtoleadTeenVogue.IthoughtIwasjustagirlgettingherdreamjob.Butthentheheadlineshit.Suddenly,IwasaBlackwomanmakinghistory.At29IhadbecomeonlythesecondBlackpersonandtheyoungestevertohelm(掌舵)aCondéNastmagazine.ShondaRhimes,Hollywoodsupremeblackscreenwriter,coinedtheterm“First.Only.Different.”BeinganFODinyourfiledcomeswitharesponsibilityandanopportunitytorewritetherules,toredefinestandards,torepresentforyourcommunities.Inmynewposition,Ihadanopportunitytohelpensurethatlittleblackgirlswouldneverdoubttheirvalue.Iwasabletohelpundosomeofthedamagingaccountsbychangingthepagesofthemagazinetomakethemmorereflectiveofmyworld.Myfirstbook,MoreThanEnough,isnotacareerguide,becauseIbelieveonlyyoucanwriteyourownblueprintforsuccess,butIdosharesomeofthehard-earnedlessonsthatIamstilllearningtoliveby.Mybookisnotintendedasself-helpbutalovelettertoanyonewhohaseverfeltoverlooked,overwhelmed,underestimatedandundervalued—andwhostillchosetoovercome.Mystory,asit’splayedoutsofar,isforallmyfellowpeopleofcolor1outthere,standingproudlyasFirst,OnlyandDifferent.IamwritingwithlovetoallthosewhoknowwhatitistobetheloneBlackvoiceintheroom,becausemystoryisyourstory.Trustthatyouwillfindyourownrhythmandcarveoutaspacetosucceedinyourownlane.Iamalsospeakingupforanyoneinherdreamjob,facingthebarriersnoonetalksabout.Whenyouexistinspacesthatweren’toriginallybuiltforyou,rememberthatsometimes,justbeingyouistherevolution.AndthisisespeciallyfortheoneswhoareNextUp,thoseofyouwhoareresponsiblefortakingthesamesystemsthatmygenerationisnowbreakingdownandbuildingbetterones.Asyoucontinuecraftingthelifeyouwant,Ihopeyouwillalwaysbearinmindthatitistheverythingsyouunderestimateaboutyourselfthatwillhelpyoutocreateyourownmagic.Findit.Useit.Trustit.Wespendtoomuchtimetellingourselvesthatwearenotenough.Notsmartenough.Notbeautifulenough.Notsuccessfulenough.Notyoungenough.Notoldenough.Iwanttobethevoiceremindingyoutosay“Enough!”toallthat.Youareenough.Youwerebornenough.Theworldiswaitingforyou.Let’sgo.45.TheauthoradoredOprahmainlybecauseof__________.A.anewculturereflectedintheTVB.herpositiveimagerepresentedinthemediaC.hercontroloftheprogramD.theresemblancewiththeauthor’sfavoriteauntie46.WhichofthefollowingcanbestinterprettheunderlinedsentenceinParagraph2?A.Blackwomentendedtohaverigidimageinthemedia.B.LittleattentionwaspaidtoblackwomenexceptOprah.C.ThereweretoofewTVhostslikeOprahtofightforequality.D.NotenoughTVprogramswereproducedtodisplayblackwomen.47.TheunderlinedwordinParagraph4isclosestinmeaningto“__________”.A.madeup B.broughtupC.turnedup D.polishedup48.ByhelmingTeenVogue,whatwastheauthorabletodo?A.Re-arrangeallthepagessheusedtohatealot.B.MakeherselfasinfluentialasVogueeditor-in-chief.C.Totallyremoveprejudiceagainsttheminoritygroups.D.Partlychangetheconventionalimpressionofblackgirls.49.Whatisthefocusoftheauthor’sfirstbook?A.Carvingoutablueprintforherfollowers.B.Sharinghard-earnedlessonswitheditors.C.SalutetothosefightingagainstdiscriminationD.Instructionsonhowtoachievecareersuccess.50.Whichtypeofwritingdoesthearticlebelongto?A.Anaddressinafiercedebate.
