One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,” came a soft reply, “I am just too short.” The coach told her that at 5′5″ she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her
disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop her except one thing—her own attitude.
The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was offered a scholarship and on the college team. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of.
36.The author was probably the girl's ________.
A.neighbor
B.friend C.mother
D.teacher
【答案与解析】 C 推断题。从第1段的“our home”的 our (是指小女孩的和作者的),就可以判断最有可能是 mother了。另外从作者对小女孩关注的时间“I watched her through those junior high years and into high school”和对小女孩球队获胜消息的频度“Every week, she led her school team to victory”以及对小女孩的情感上“She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment”也不难做出判断。
