阅读下面短文,然后从其后各题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。         When his doctor told nine-year-old Michael Milton he would lose his left leg to bone cancer (骨癌) in
1982, one of the first questions he asked was: "Will I still be able to ski?"
         Soon, Milton, who grew up in a skiing family and had hit the hillside from the age of three, saw a video
of a one-legged skier that would change his life. After missing a winter of sport following his operation (手术),
the Australian young man gave it a try.
         By 14, Milton was skiing in his first international competition (国际比赛), the 1988 Winter Olympic
Games at Innsbruck, Austria. Just four years on, he became Australia"s first gold medal (金牌) winner in France.
        But trying to make a living from the sport he loved seemed to be a far more icy matter. For year, Milton
had to do his best to make ends meet, mending cars, working as a gardener and in ski shops. At one point he
was so poor that he needed to win a place in an American skiing competition to win enough money for the plane
ticket home.
         But the skier who can hold his own in able-bodied speed-skiing events, thinks overcoming (克服) low
public expectations of what people with disabilities (残疾) can do is a greater obstacle (障碍) than being poor.
It"s a problem that he is meeting with all the time.
         He says most people with disabilities don"t want to be treated differently than others. "It"s the environment
around you that helps you to try. My biggest goal is to raise (提高) the expectations of the public as to what
people with disabilities can do."
         Milton has won 10 Olympic and 11 world championship (锦标赛) medals and in April last year became
the world"s first disabled person to ski at more than 200 km/h, reaching a surprising 210.4 km/h. His next goal
is the record of 212.26 km/h held by Australia"s fastest able-bodied skier, Nick Kirshner. He"ll then be the fastest
Australian skier ever. 1. When did Michael Milton win his first gold medal?[     ]
A. In 1988.
B. When he was fourteen.
C. In 1992.
D. 8 years after his operation. 2. What is the biggest problem Milton met with in life? [     ]

阅读下面材料,根据材料内容从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。        Charles Chaplin, who died in 1977, is regarded as one of the greatest and funniest actors in the history of
the cinema. During his lifetime, he acted in 13 films, and he wrote, directed (导) and acted in 69 other films.
        Chaplin was born in London in 1889. When he was a poor boy, he was often seen waiting outside the
London theatres, hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he could make
people laugh. But he couldn"t get work, so he wandered (徘徊) about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent
away to a home for children who had no parents.
        Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five. He broke into show business because his mother, a music-
hall performer, lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage, and Charlie went on and sang
a well-known song. Halfway through the song a shower of money poured onto the stage. Charlie stopped
singing and told audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song. The audiences laughed. This
was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin"s comedy (喜剧) life.
        Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world. His dream
came true in the end. Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film.
        Even people who don"t understand English can enjoy Chaplin"s films because they are mostly silent. The
machine for adding sound to films had not yet been developed. The development of films with sound became a
problem for Chaplin, as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues. Instead, he continued to make films
without dialogue, but he added music, which he wrote himself. It isn"t what he says that makes us laugh. His
comedy doesn"t depend on (依靠) words. It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people all
over the world.
        Chaplin"s later films, however, were not well received. Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the
last years in Switzerland, where he was buried (被埋葬) at Christmas 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There
was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
         In his book, Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life. He says, "You have to believe in yourself. That"s the
secret." 1. What does the underlined word "stage" mean in the passage?[     ]
A. It"s a special time that something reaches while it grows or develops.
B. It"s one of the parts in the process (过程) of something.
C. It"s the raised area in a theatre which actors or singers stand on when they perform.
D. It"s a place or an area of activity where something important happens. 2. Chaplin is regarded as a king of comedy mainly because __________.[     ]
