Question

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(牧馬場).He has let me use his       36     to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he told me his story.when he was young, his family is too    37    to have a house to live in.As a     38    , when he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about     39     he wanted to be and do when he grew up.That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of     40     a horse ranch.He also drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a beautiful farm.The next day he handed it in to his    41   .Two days later he received his paper back.On the front page was a large red F.Roberts asked, “Why did I receive an F?” He teacher said, “This is a(an)   42    dream for a young boy like you.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teacher added, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your    43   .”

The boy went home and thought about it for a    44    and hard time.He asked his father what he should do.His father said, “Look, son, you have to    45   your own mind on this.Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no    46   at all.He told his teacher “you could keep the F and I    47   keep my dream.

Monty tell me this   48    because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.He said a lot of kids’s    49   can be stole.Don't let anyone steal your dreams.Follow your heart, no matter what.   50   he had enough gumption(毅力) not to give up my dream.

【解析】短文大意:這篇短文通過一個故事告訴我們,不論做什么事，相信你自己，別讓別人的一句話將你擊倒。因為很多夢想的實現(xiàn)來自于你的堅持。

1.由前文提及的羅伯特擁有一個大的牧馬場，可推斷他讓我們用他的“牧馬場”為青少年發(fā)展計劃籌集資金。故選C.大農(nóng)場

2.too...to意為“太……而不能”，結(jié)合四個選項意思，只有poor符合情景。故選C.貧窮的.

3.根據(jù)后面故事的發(fā)展可知，羅伯特渴望長大以后擁有一個大的牧馬場與他家沒有房子構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系。As a result意為“作為一個結(jié)果”。 故選D,結(jié)果.

4.根據(jù)后文關(guān)鍵詞dream，可推測此老師讓他寫一寫將來的理想，想做“什么”。 故選A,什么.

5.根據(jù)第一段第一句who owns a horse ranch可知，他那時的目標是擁有一個大的牧馬場。故選C,擁有.

6.根據(jù)上文可知是老師布置的任務(wù)，故按照事件發(fā)展推斷，他把描述自己理想的文件交給了“老師”。 故選A,教師.

7.根據(jù)下句擁有一個牧馬場需要很多錢可推測，老師認為他的夢想“不可能實現(xiàn)”。 故選D,不現(xiàn)實的.

9.根據(jù)前文事件的嚴重性，可知羅伯特對這件事很重視，用了“很長的”事時間思考。故選B,匆忙.

10.根據(jù)上下文語境可知，父親認為他應(yīng)該“有”自己的見解。故選C,有.

11.根據(jù)上文the boy turned in the same paper知，他在描寫自己理想藍圖的紙上未作“更改”。 故選D,改變.

12.根據(jù)上文他沒有更改自己的理想藍圖，可推測他“仍舊”堅持自己的夢想。故選B,仍舊.

13.根據(jù)上文可知他講述了自己的“故事”。 故選B,故事.
