Question

Two-year-old Harley was asleep with her younger sister in their home in Eden，North Carolina．While their parents were outside welcoming their older sister home from school，the wires in the family's laundry room caught fire and before anyone knew what was happening，the bedroom next door was consumed in flames．
Harley's father was able to rescue his two youngest daughters and save their lives，but Harley was severely burned on 80percent of her body and her parents were told that she was likely to pass away．Over the next several months，Harley would put up with surgery after surgery and remain hooked up to a ventilator（呼吸机）at the hospital．When she was finally released to go home，Harley had no idea that the toughest battle had not even begun yet．
When Harley started school just a few years later，she realized for the first time how cruel her peers could be．Bullied for her appearance and called hateful names，she began to consider ending her life while only in Grade 8．When her friends were getting their first boyfriends and going on their first dates，she was sitting at home wondering if she should end her life．
But in 2013，something changed．It was not something on the outside but something inside Harley．She made the conscious decision to become more like the carefree，laughing，joyous little girl that she had not seen since that night in 1997．So for the first time in her life，she put on a blue dress and walked outside into the light of day throwing caution to the wind and daring anyone to try to rain on her parade．
25．What was the toughest battle for Harley？___
A．Her sister's death．
B．Her peers‟discrimination．
C．Surgery after surgery．
D．Her emotion of jealousy．
26．What can be inferred from the passage？___
A．It took Harley about sixteen years to change her attitude to life．
B．Harley had tried to end her life many times．
C．Harley liked blue dresses and rainy days．
D．In 2013，Harley changed something inside and outside．
27．What can be a suitable title？___
A．Transforming a sad girl into a joyous girl
B．How to overcome difficulty
C．A blue dress on rainy days
D．A girl rose from the dark．

Answer 1

25．B  细节理解题．根据第二段"Harley had no idea the toughest battle had not even begun yet"和第三段第一行"she realized for the first time how cruel her peers could be"可知哈利最大的挑战是同伴们的歧视．故选B．
26．A  判断推理题．16年（1997-2013）后，哈利选择用积极的态度面对生活．B 文中并未提及哈利曾多次自杀．C 最后一段的"rain"并非指"雨天"，而是指"泼冷水"．D 与最后一段第二句不相符．故选A．
27．D  标题概括题．纵观全文可知，文章主要讲哈利历经16年的磨练，从黑暗中站立起来．D最佳地概括了文章主旨．A选项只是强调外在力量而且过于生硬．BC在文中找不到根据．故选D．
