解析試題分析：本文介紹了三位出類拔萃、影響世界的美國青少年，告訴人們堅持夢想，一切皆有可能。
【小題1】C名詞辨析。根據文章第一段（總起段落）的最后一句話可知，整篇文章講的是出類拔萃的美國青少年，從文章第二段開始例舉，Winter Vinecki 是第一個例子。所以該句句意：“15歲的Winter Vinecki比許多人終其一生所取得的‘成功’還要多。”，故正確答案為C.
【小題2】C形容詞辨析。A. passive “消極的，被動的”； B. sensitive“敏感的，易怒的”； C. aggressive“侵略的；有進取心的”； D. negative“否定的，消極的”，根據該句的下一句“ He died 10 months later.”，顯然她父親的病情很嚴重，故選 aggressive“侵略的”，來作定語進行修飾， “a rare and aggressive form of prostate cancer ”意為：“一種罕見的侵略性的前列腺癌”。
【小題3】A名詞性從句連接詞的選擇。根據該句句意：“也就是‘在那時’針對前列腺癌癥的研究和認識我成立了Winter團隊。”，即該表語從句缺表示時間狀語的連接詞，故選A.when.
【小題4】D名詞辨析。A. development“發展”； B. threat“恐嚇，威脅”； C. panic“恐慌，驚慌”； D. awareness“認識，意識”，該處for + n.表示Winter團隊的價值理念所在，除了對于前列腺癌的研究，還有就是針對與對癌癥的‘認識’了。
【小題5】A動詞辨析。A.take有“講授，帶領”之意，其結構為“take sth/ take sb (for sth)”,例如：The head teacher usually takes us for French.校長通常給我們上法語課。B. received“收到”； C. searched“搜尋”； D. tested“測驗”，該句句意：“她在世界范圍內‘進行’前列腺癌的教育。”，故正確答案為A.
【小題6】A 介詞辨析。A. through“通過…”； B. off“離開，偏離”； C. over“在…之上”；D. beyond“超出…”，而該句句意：“她在世界范圍內進行前列腺癌的教育是‘通過’馬拉松長跑的這種方式。”故正確答案為A.
【小題7】B副詞辨析。A. officially“官方地，正式地”； B. continually“不斷地”； C. peacefully “和平地，平靜地”； D. temporarily“暫時地，臨時地”，該句句意：“在美國，她‘頻繁地’旅行，宣講前列腺癌的知識，敦促（力勸）其他人行動起來。”，故正確答案為B.
【小題8】C動詞辨析。A. promise“承諾”； B. pay“花費”； C. urge“力勸，敦促”； D. prefer“更喜歡”，此處句意：“‘力勸’人們行動起來。”，故正確答案為C.
【小題9】D連詞辨析。A. for“因為”； B. before“在…之前”； C. unless“除非”； D. but“但是”，該句句意：“前列腺癌雖然司空見慣，‘但是’男人們都不愿談及此事。”即兩句間的邏輯關系是“轉折”，故正確答案為D.
【小題10】C代詞/名詞辨析。根據語境和句意：“所以，這就是一個9歲女孩不得不走出去，開始給‘男人們’談論此病的原因。”，該處用them指代上文出現的男人們，故正確答案為C.
【小題11】D動詞辨析。A. cures“治愈”； B. improves“改良，提高”； C. prevents“防止，預防”； D. identifies“識別”，因為該空所在的定語從句所限定的先行詞是sensor“傳感器，感應器”，故定語從句的謂語動詞應選D. identifies識別。該句句意：“他發明了一種廉價的能‘識別’胰腺癌、卵巢癌和肺癌的感應器。”
【小題12】B名詞辨析。A. experiments“實驗，試驗”； B. devices“裝置”；C. trials“試驗”；D. data“數據，資料”，所選的名詞要作動詞develop的賓語，且根據下一句話所介紹的該名詞的作用“help identify and remove”（幫助識別和清除…）可知，正確答案為B.
【小題13】B名詞辨析。根據上文中提到的該裝置為“water quality devices”水質裝置，所以它的功能顯然是把重金屬物質和有害物質從“水中”去除掉。故正確答案為B.water.
【小題14】C動詞辨析。 A. carried“攜帶”； B. exposed“使…暴露于/處于/面臨…”； C. employed“雇傭；使用”； D.handled“拿/抓（某物）；處理/管理（事情/情況）”，該處的動詞要非謂語化作賓語補足語，且根據該句句意：“我希望看到它們（我的發明設備）‘被應用’到發展中國家。”故正確答案為C.employed “被使用”。
【小題15】D動詞辨析。A. failing“失敗”； B. fleeing “逃跑”； C. declining“減少；衰退，衰落”； D. dying“死”，根據該句的狀語部分“in gun violence”（在槍擊暴力中），too many young people 為主語，所以謂語應選D. （was）dying.該句句意：“她說，太多的年輕人在槍擊暴力中喪生。”
【小題16】D名詞辨析。A. revolution“革命，變革”； B. discussion“討論”； C. business“生意，業務；事情”； D. campaign“活動；戰役”，該句句意：“她還發起了一場教育年輕人聲討槍擊暴力的‘運動’”，故正確答案為D.
【小題17】A名詞辨析。A. combination“聯合”； B. convenience“便利，方便”； C. competence “勝任，能力，資格”；D. consideration“考慮；體諒”，該句句意：“是能給予幫助的父母、網絡和社會媒體‘共同’幫助他們取得了成功。”故該處主語應選A.
【小題18】C名詞辨析。A. harmony“和諧”； B. satisfaction“滿足”； C. selves“自我”； D. impressions“印象”,該句句意：“但是，Winter和Jack也創造了內在的‘自我’”，故正確答案為C.
【小題19】A名詞辨析。A. barrier“障礙；柵欄”； B. favor“贊同，支持；偏愛；善行”； C. benefit“利益，好處”； D. difference“不同”，該句句意“我認為，對于孩子和成年人來說最大的事情是永遠不要讓年齡和性別成為‘障礙’。”，故正確答案為A.
【小題20】B名詞/代詞辨析。該句句意：“永遠不要讓別人說‘你不行’。(永遠堅持你的夢想，一切皆有可能。)”，故正確答案為B.

During the 19th century, women’s education was not considered important in the United States. Supporters of advanced education for women faced many problems. States did require each town to provide a school for children, but teachers were often poorly prepared. Most young women were not able to continue on with their education in private schools. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew (縫制) clothing, and music.
Mary Lyon felt that women’s education was extremely important. Through her lifelong work for education she became the most famous woman in the 19th century America. She believed that women were teachers both at home and in the classroom. And she believed that efforts to better educate young women also served God. If women were better educated, she felt, they could teach in local schools throughout the United States and in foreign countries.
In 1837, Mary Lyon opened Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women. Only four teachers and the first class of eighty young women lived and studied in the building when the school opened. But Mary knew the importance of what had been established (建立) — the first independent school for the higher education of women. The school continued to grow. In 1893, under a state law, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became a college. Mount Holyoke College was the first college to offer women the same education as was offered to men.
People who have studied Mary Lyon say she was not fighting a battle (戰爭) of equality between men and women, yet she knew she wanted more for women. Her efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Historians say she was the strongest influence on the education of American young people during the middle of the 19th century.
1.What did Mary Lyon think would be a result of better education for women?
A. They could be teachers in local schools in the USA and in foreign countries.
B. They could help their children with the homework.
C. They could help their husbands with the work.
D. They could help their parents with the housework.
2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
A. Teachers were poorly prepared in the 19th century.
B. Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women was the first independent school for the higher education of women in the United States.
C. Mount Holyoke College only taught women French.
D. Young women studied French, sewing and music in private schools in the 19th century.
3.What contributions did Mary make to education?
A. She taught a great number of young women.
B. She made the law protect men’s right to education.
C. She was responsible for the spread of higher education for women in the USA.
D. She succeeded in developing her own education system.
