She was sitting up at four months, walking at eight months and completing 100-piece jigsaw puzzles（拼图玩具）at 15 months. So it is no surprise that Abigail Wilson, 15, from Connecticut, USA, recently made history when she became the youngest black girl ever accepted into an American university! “I’m proud of myself for getting in, but I usually find it hard to get excited. It’s pretty cool, I guess,” said Abigail.

Her mother, Nancy, said that Abigail was a quiet baby, born two weeks late on Christmas Day. She didn’t speak her first words until she was 22 months old! Nancy and her husband thought something must be wrong, but when she started to talk, her speech was perfect. She already knew her colours, letters and was able to read. Her parents read her normal bedtime stories and they didn’t know she was learning all of it.

Abigail has always been the youngest person in her class. At six she was in the fourth grade, at ten she took her first high school class in Maths. She has studied several languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian, Arabic and German.

Abigail says that she doesn’t usually plan when she studies, she calls herself scatterbrained（注意力不集中的）and she always delays（拖延）things up to the last minute. This gives her the motivation to really do something.

In her free time, Abigail plays basketball, surfs the Internet, reads, cooks and hangs out with her friends: they are all 17 and 18.She has also studied music. Her mother says that Abigail’s music lessons helped her to be a normal teen. She believes that Abigail needed to be in a situation where she had to fail in order to learn. “She found playing the piano very difficult, but it made her learn better,” said Nancy. “She can’t always be successful, she won’t be able to learn anything! People always learn more from their failures than from their successes”.

1.Why is it no surprise that Abigail went to university at 15?

A. She was a hard-working girl.

B. She was always ahead of other kids.

C. She was brought up in a special way.

D. She was no different than other black girls.

2.What can we learn about Abigail?

A. She is crazy about sports.

B. She has a gift for language.

C. Her favourite subject is maths.

D. Her success is due to good habits.

A. Abigail has a better education than others.

B. Abigail won’t be a normal girl without music.

C. Nancy didn’t like Abigail when she was a baby.

D. Abigail usually does things when they are emergent.

I lost my way in complete darkness and ________ it began to rain.

高一英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

1..

In the film Annie Hall,Diane Keaton and Woody Allen have just met and they want to impress each other. While they are talking their inner thoughts appear in sub-title on the screen: Listen to me—what a jerk (fool). "He probably thinks I'm stupid. " Thoughts like these kill a conversation. So don't try to impress other people. Just relax and be yourself.

2.

When you talk to someone you show that you are interested in the conversation. So you don't have to talk about deeply important things. Just talk about simple things like the weather or a television programme that you saw last night. If the other person wants to talk, these obvious things will soon lead into other more interesting things.

3.

TV journalist Barbara Walters recalls that when she was younger, she met the author, Truman Capote. She wanted to tell him that she liked his book. However, she thought that he must be tired of hearing that, so she just mumbled "How do you do?" and turned away. She forgot that everybody likes to receive a compliment and it's an easy way into a conversation, especially if you follow it up with a question: "I really liked your book. How long did it take you to write it?" "What a nice jacket! Where did you buy it?"

4.

Your face and your body can communicate much more than your words. If you stand with your arms folded or if you keep looking around the room, the conversation will quickly end, because you will look uninterested. Instead, you should make eye contact, keep an open posture and smile. If you send out friendly messages, you will get friendly messages back.

5.

A Victorian lady once compared the two British prime ministers, Gladstone and Disraeli. "When you speak to Mr. Gladstone," she said," you think he is the most interesting man in the world. But when you speak to Mr. Disraeli, you feel that you are the most interesting woman in the world. " People like you are fascinating if you ask questions that allow them to do so.

A.Pay compliments

B.Turn the spotlight on others

C.Relax and be yourself

D.Use friendly body language
