Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解選擇正確答案。
In 2002, I wrote a letter for my future self with instructions not to open until my birthday in 2014. It is 2014 now. Yesterday was my birthday and I opened it. This is what it said:
Dear Sherri,
By the time you read this, you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had many dreams about you. Right now I hope you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, boat in Canada and abroad, maybe you have even settled down somewhere in France, and maybe you are working in the field of art. I hope you’re married to Gwynn—the man of your dreams. You'll probably have two children—a girl and a boy.
If everything goes okay, you'll be living in France in a big house in a small town with Gwynn and your two children. You are doing research in painting. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing all right for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan, I wish you love, happiness and joy.
Love,
Sherri “18”
When I read this, I was surprised. So much of what I wanted has come true.
I did travel to a few more places in Canada. I've traveled to the UK, Australia and Egypt. I have been living in France for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb（郊區(qū)）, in a major city. I am an art teacher in a university. I have two lovely kids.
But not everything went as what I hoped. I married a man named Tom Rees, and he is an excellent artist. We are doing all right for ourselves.
I find it cool how the dreams of a young girl can become a grown woman's reality(現(xiàn)實(shí) ).

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）A
（2）C
（3）C
（4）B
（5）B
【解析】
⑴細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段可知作者2002年寫給自己的一封信，到2014年生日才能打開，昨天就是“我”的生日，故等了12年，故選A。
⑵詞義猜測。根據(jù)句意：現(xiàn)在我喜歡你已經(jīng)去總是想去的地方，過見過你總是想見的一切，在加拿大或者國外劃船，也許你甚至定居在法國的某個(gè)地方，也許你正在藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域工作。因此settle down的意思是“定居”，故選C。
⑶細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段 I married a man named Tom Rees, and he is an excellent artist.可知，他的結(jié)婚對象不是信中寫的那個(gè)人，故選C。
⑷推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段I’ve traveled to the UK可知A錯誤；根據(jù)So much of what I wanted has come t rue. 可知D錯誤；文中倒數(shù)第三段最后一句 I have two lovely kids.可知她對家庭很滿意，故選B。
⑸主旨大意。本文講述18歲的時(shí)候作者給30歲的自己寫的一封信，通過信中的對生活的理想和30歲在自己的現(xiàn)實(shí)生活的對照，發(fā)現(xiàn)由一個(gè)充滿了夢想的女孩變成一個(gè)實(shí)現(xiàn)了大部分夢想的婦女是一件有趣的事情。因此B是最佳答案。
