Question

 

A young girl called Ida in Sweden decided to travel to a place she hadn't seen for 22 years. She had a happy life until some kids asked, "Why don't you look like your mom?" Ida was sent to her adopted(收養(yǎng)) family in Sweden right after she was born. She really didn't know anything about her birthplace, Korea, except for some information she recently heard about her birthparents.

During her schooldays, she was often questioned about her looks. Ida considered herself a normal Swedish person. She tried to be part of the group in her school, but she found it hard. She was still seen as an outsider.

    As she grew older, she accepted(接受)who she  was. Still, she

wanted to find the missing piece of the puzzle (困惑). After finding out the place of her birthparents, Ida went to Korea in 2008. When she first arrived, she was surprised to see so many people who looked like her. However, apart from her looks, not much could be shared (分享) with others. She knew little about the culture, food, especially the language. Being in Korea wasn't always easy for her.

Perhaps Ida can never truly fit in either culture, but it's worth visiting her birthplace because she finally realized how special and different she is. She has two loving families, and most of all a better understanding of who she is. This helps her to have a positive view of her life.

【解析】【主旨大意】文章介紹了出生與韓國，生長在瑞典的女孩Ida，由于長相不一樣，很難與其他同學(xué)融為一體。于是踏上了尋親路，由于在異國生活了22年，她同樣面臨困境。擁有兩個愛她的家是她是她積極面對生活的最大資本。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題 由第一段“Ida was sent to her adopted(收養(yǎng)) family in Sweden right after she was born. She really didn't know anything about her birthplace, Korea,”“出生后Ida被送往她瑞士的收養(yǎng)家庭，”對于她的出生地韓國她什么都不知道。”

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題 有文章第二段可知由于經(jīng)常被質(zhì)問長相，她自己也把自己當(dāng)做普通的瑞典人，并想融入學(xué)校，但很難。

3.推理判斷題 由于在瑞典生活了22 年，除了長相與韓國人相似外，別的她都不能與韓國人共享。因此此處的apart from 是except的意思。

4.整體理解題通讀文章可知，結(jié)合文章第一句可知答案為A。
