1.1.What happened to Sarah at 15?
A She could not walk.
B She bought a new bike.
C She went to Norway.
D She ran a long race.
解析:选A。A 细节理解题。原文第一段明确提到 “When she was 15, she got very sick. She could not walk.”,即萨拉在15岁时病得很重,不能走路,因此A项“她不能走路”正确。B“她买了一辆新自行车”文中没有说;C“她去了挪威”是她今年夏天骑行路线的一部分,不是15岁时发生的事;D“她跑了长跑”与原文“她不能再跑步”不符,且文中没有依据。故选A。
2.2. How long did Sarah ride this summer?
A For 3 days.
B For 13 days.
C For 30 days.
D For 20 days.
解析:选D。D 细节理解题。原文第二段提到 “She rode for twenty days.”,她骑行了20天,因此D项“For 20 days”是正确答案。A“三天”,B“十三天”和C“三十天”都不符合。故选D。
3.3. Why does Sarah ride her bike?
A To win a big race.
B To visit many countries.
C To buy a new bike.
D To help poor children.
解析:选D。D 细节理解题。原文第三段明确说 “Sarah rides her bike to help children in poor places. She got money to buy bikes for them.”,说明她骑车是为了帮助贫困地区的孩子,因此D项“To help poor children”正确。A“赢得大型比赛”文中未提;B“访问许多国家”不是她骑车的真正目的;C“买一辆新自行车”是她筹钱给贫困孩子买自行车,不是给自己买。故选D。
4.4. What can we learn about Sarah?
A She likes to sleep late.
B She lives in Spain now.
C She is kind and brave.
D She rides to school every day.
解析:选C。C 推理判断题。原文说萨拉病后经过多年康复,开始骑行,并从西班牙骑到挪威,还筹钱给贫困儿童买自行车,这些行为可以推断她善良且勇敢,因此C项“She is kind and brave”正确。A“她喜欢睡懒觉”与原文“多数夜晚只睡约一个半小时”不符,那是骑行艰苦所致;B“她现在住在西班牙”原文只说从西班牙出发,且开头说她来自英国;D“她每天骑车上学”原文是希望贫困儿童能方便上学,不是她每天骑车上学。故选C。
