【题目】When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "The very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.

The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.

Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says." I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."

But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up again and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.

Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."

试题分析:这是一篇人物介绍。文章讲述了Mary Moore的故事。她是一个赢得过许多奖项的女演员,流产和身患糖尿病使她曾经逃避、沉沦但随后她觉醒振作,最终投身糖尿病的防治。

【1】B细节理解题。由第二段第二句:Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom.可知Mary Moore是在为未能听从母亲的建议而懊悔She didn't follow her mother's advice.。故选B

【2】B细节理解题。根据第三段第一句:Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress…可知,她的第二本书并不像1995出版的自传那样,对自己获得的奖项却介绍得更少了。由此可推断Mary Moore在1995年之前获得过不少奖项。第二段第二句:In her career, Mary won many awards也有提示。故选B

【3】A细节理解题。可在第三段第一句:…her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes得知她的第二本书很少写关于成功的演艺生涯,而更多的关于与糖尿病为伴。故选A

【4】A推理判断题。根据第四段,特别是第四、五句“In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up-again-and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her.”当Mary Moore听到改变她人生的消息时,她孩子气地选择了逃避,数年后,她才意识到她必须控制糖尿病而不是被它控制,由此可推断她当时失去了控制。故选A

【5】C段落大意题。根据最后一段第四、五、六句“Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I’ve come to realize the importance of that as I’ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”可知Mary Moore感受到了帮助别人的重要性,并尽可能地去帮助别人。故选C。
