高考英语阅读,
“I Went Skydiving at 84!”
As a young girl growing up in the 1930s,I always wanted to fly a plane,but back then it was almost unheard of a woman to do that.I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday.But the experience turned out to be very dull.Around that time ,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive.So when our retirement community(社区)announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have,I decided to write about my dream.
In the essay(短文),I wrote about my desire to skydive,stating George Brush Sr.did it at age 80.Why not me?I was just 84 and in pretty good health.A year went by and I heard nothing.But then at a community party in late April 2009,they announced that I was one of the winners.I just couldn’t believe it.Inspired by this,I decided to realize my dream,even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.
One June 11,2009,nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane.My instructor,Jay,guided me through the experience.The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in,but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience.When we reached 13,000 feet,Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane.When we first hit the air,the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe.For a second I thought,“What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer.We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute(降落伞),then we just floated downward for about five minutes.Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon.I was just enjoying it.
Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life.I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old.If there’s something you want to experience,look into it.If it’s something that is possible,make it happen.

先说一点,文章中的2011应该是2001,不然题目里面的2001就无所对应了
第一题很简单看第二自然段
I got a taste of that dream in 2001,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday
2001年在我丈夫为我安排的热气球漂流上,我实现了我的梦想.不管梦想是什么(当然从前文可知是fly a plane),2001年这姐们儿坐上了热气球,所以选C
第二题很简单
第二段开头In the essay(短文), I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80.在竞赛短文中,我写到了自己想跳伞的欲望,提及了乔治布什曾在80岁时这样做过.但看着一句话你只知道这是乔治布什的例子.但是往下看,Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health,意思是,“(他都行)为什么我不行呢?老娘才84岁而且身体倍儿棒”.结合这两句话你可以看出来作者是举了乔治布什80岁跳伞的例子为自己下面作“声援”的,运用了举例论证.就好像我说,“老子偷你点儿钱怎么了,贡缠档还天天偷大家的呢!”——后面一句是运用了例子为前面提供了有力的论据.足见这道题选D,意为使作者的论点更加具有说服力
第三题有点纠结
第三题在老太太刚跳下来的时候,文中道
When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?”
“从13000英尺下来,刚接触空气时,风非常强烈导致我不能呼吸,有那么一秒我在想,我这是做的什么事儿啊!” 这里正常人会在Scared和regretful中间徘徊不定,心想,风那么强壮都不能呼吸了,肯定得Scared啊.可是你看下一句,老太太说的很清楚 “What have I gotten myself into?” ,这句话结合语境你肯定能意识到老太太的一种后悔的情感,“这是做的什么事儿啊!”答高考阅读的时候,一定不要过度推理,比如如果你在scared和regretful之间徘徊,你就一定要想办法找到更加能支撑二者当中惟一一个的论据.比如在这里题目问老太太刚一下时感到如何,更能支持我们选择D答案的原因就在于老太太心里念叨 “What have I gotten myself into?” ,而不选B也恰巧是因为老太太没有告诉我们他感到害怕,只是陈述了一个现象——风太猛,无法呼吸
第四题非常简单
下来之后直说了两件事,一件是第三题提到的后悔,另外一件就是冷静之后欣赏美景,如下
Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.
所以这题不选B还能选什么啊
