The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused inconvenience for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life. To spread that message. Gallagher has gone to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the world, but instead of simply using a geotag (地理位置標(biāo)簽), she writes her location on her artificial leg before taking a picture. Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the beautiful Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river ride in Budapest, all with the wellknown locations written on her artificial leg. I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard, Gallagher said. My mum and grandmother didn39。t like the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did. Gallagher said people often stare when she39。s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback (反饋), My leg hasn39。t stopped me from doing anything I39。ve wanted to do, she said. I don39。t know if it39。s my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, anyway, I39。ve been able to keep up with people at my age and lead a pretty great life.

My mum and grandmother didn39。t like the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.Gallagher說(shuō)她媽媽和外婆都不喜歡她chalkboard的主意，但她的朋友喜歡，讓她去試試，所以她就去了，可知Gallagher很有決心。根據(jù)第二段To spread that message. Gallagher has gone to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the world, but instead of simply using a geotag (地理位置標(biāo)簽), she writes her location on her artificial leg before taking a picture。Gallagher把她的位置寫在假肢上來(lái)和大家分享可知他是一個(gè)很有創(chuàng)造性的人，故選C。 （4）主旨大意題。最后一段And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art。是本文的主題句，根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知本文主要描述的是截肢的Gallagher在社交媒體上分享自己環(huán)球旅行的照片，但她并沒(méi)有簡(jiǎn)單的使用地理標(biāo)簽，而是拍照前在假肢上寫下自己的位置的故事。這篇文章是想通過(guò)Gallagher的一條假肢，傳達(dá)出一種樂(lè)觀向上的生活態(tài)度，故A Special Artificial Leg是最好的標(biāo)題。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題、推理判斷題和主旨大意題三種常考題型，細(xì)節(jié)理解題要注意從文中尋找答案；推理判斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文以及分析特殊句式，推斷出需要的信息；主旨大意題需要通讀全文，了解大意之后找出中心思想。5．閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring selfcontrol do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong? Avoiding temptation (誘惑) is an effective method for maintaining selfcontrol, which is called the out of sight, out of mind principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight. The research suggesting th
