高三英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
I’d always dreamed of exploring Africa, ever since I read my first Tarzan（《人猿泰山》）comic as a child. Finally, in 2004, to celebrate my 60th birthday, I went to Tanzania to experience a safari（东非游猎）and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Seated next to me on the flight was Tanzania’s minister of water and wildlife development. We talked for thousands of miles, and he arranged me to visit a school. When I toured the school, I was shocked. The leaky（漏的）roofs turned the dirt floors into mud during the rainy season, and the walls couldn’t keep out the heat, cold or bugs(小昆虫). The school was in need of all material goods, but the kids possessed great human spirit.
It broke my heart that these children had to struggle to survive, so I asked the headmaster what it would cost to feed them. As little as 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately I got home, I founded Kids of Kilimanjaro. Since then we’ve grown to provide hot lunches for nearly 13,000 schoolchildren every day. The free lunch program has eased a major problem the youngsters face.
I know a good education could really make a difference in these children’s lives. My parents always stressed the importance of education. I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students and businesspeople. After attending university I moved to San Francisco, when I was 25 years old. In 1978 I realized my American dream when I founded my own company. My success all started with a good education.
It’s amazing that something as simple as a nutritious lunch can change and enrich so many lives. Giving young people a better, healthier life can inspire them to go all the way through college and lead a movement that transforms their country.
1.Why did the author go to Tanzania to celebrate his 60th birthday?
A.He was curious about what Africa was like.
B.He was concerned about the Africans’ miserable life.
C.He wanted to get an idea of the area’s wildlife.
D.He hoped to lead a movement that would transform his country.
2.After his tour to the school, the author found that the kids there were ________.
A.in need of help
B.not interested in studies
C.not used to the rainy season
D.in low spirits
3.What is the main purpose of Kids of Kilimanjaro?
A.To make sure the African kids are mentally healthy.
B.To spread knowledge among the African kids.
C.To build new schools for the African kids.
D.To protect the African kids from hunger.
4.What is the correct sequence of the following events?
a.“I” founded “my” first company.
b.“I” founded Kids of Kilimanjaro.
c.“I” read “my” first Tarzan comic.
d.“I” moved to San Francisco.
A.a, c, d, b
B.a, d, c, b
C.c, a, d, b
D.c, d, a, b
5.The author believes education is important because __________.
A.his parents always stressed the importance of education
B.a good education contributes to his success
C.he paid his own way through college by teaching English
D.he’s trying to realize his American dream

Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. That ambition nearly ended one night in 2010. Hill, then a 17-year-old high school senior in Pacific Grove, California, was in a car accident that put her in the hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the waist down. For most people, that would have ruined any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being a barrier, her wheelchair emboldened her. "I wanted to prove to my community—and to myself—that I was still 'normal, ' " she told Teen Vogue.
"Half of my body was taken away from me, and I have to move it with my hands, " Hill told Today, "It definitely took a lot of learning and patience. " After graduation, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met people online who had suffered various spinal cord injuries but shared her determination, and she invited them to dance with her. Hoping to reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she calls the Rollettes. "I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you' re walking or you 're rolling", she said.
Hill has attained what many of us never will: her childhood dream. She's a dancer. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling. Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities. In 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended.
For many, it was the first time they 'd felt they belonged. Steph Aiello told Teen Vogue that working with Hill challenged her to be more independent. "My injury doesn’t stop so I can live my life, so why am I going to stop living my life because of my injury? " she said. Edna Serrano says that being part of the Rollettes team has given her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car, "I didn't know I could do so many things that these girls have taught me. "
1.What does the underlined word “emboldened” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.destroyed B.encouraged
C.prevented D.deserved
2.What can be learned from the text?
A.It took Hill nearly a month to recover in the hospital.
B.People from more than 20 countries joined the Rollettes.
C.Hill helped the dancers find their self-confidence.
D.Hill would expand her dance camp.
3.Which the following words can best describe Hill?
A.Ambitious and curious. B.Honest and hardworking.
C.Humorous and brave. D.Strong-willed and warm-hearted.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.A way to achieve one's dream.
B.An inspiring story of dancers.
C.Chelsie Hill: a courageous dancer.
D.A dance camp for the disabled.
