Question

【题目】 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。

Welcome to Youth Radio, your radio. Here we’re proud to introduce three Amazing Kids.

Gina, who is thirteen years old, got the first prize in the “Young Cook of the Year” competition(竞赛) and she wants to write a recipe book for kids. “I want it to be fun to read and easy enough for children to use,” she says. Gina learned by watching her father, who’s also good at cooking, in the kitchen. She wants to encourage (鼓励) other children to cook because everyone needs to eat so it’s a skill that will always be useful!

Seventeen-year-old Brain used to love running until he was hurt in a serious accident three years ago. He lost part of one leg and didn’t even expect to walk again. Now he’s an athlete who has recently taken part in a long race. “After my accident I wanted to give up,” he says. “But now I’m happy to be alive and able to continue running.”

Helen has always been good at science, but she thought it was too difficult to become an inventor. Then she heard about an accident that had happened when a car hit a train in her town. “That gave me an idea,” says the clever sixteen-year-old. It took her over a year to invent a small special machine that tells car drivers when a train is coming. One company is already interested in selling it, so it may be in the shops soon!

试题分析：青年之声电台主要介绍令人惊奇的孩子们。本文详细介绍了三个，分别是：获得年度青年厨艺大赛一等奖的吉娜、腿残疾却坚持跑步的长跑运动员布瑞恩以及发明提醒司机火车靠近机器的海伦。

【1】根据第一段中Gina, who is thirteen years old, got the first prize in the“Youth Cook of the year”competition. 可知应填“Youth Cook of the year”competition.

【2】从文中“because everyone needs to eat so it’s a skill that will always be useful”这句话得知吉娜认为吃饭是必需的事情，所以会做饭是一项有用的技能。所以填everyone needs to eat and cooking is a skill that will always be useful.也可填前面一句she wants to encourage other children to cook.

【3】问题意思是“为什么惊奇布瑞恩是一名运动员？”。根据“he was hurt in a serious accident”和“lost part of one leg”这两个信息可知他成为一名运动员是让人非常吃惊的事。所以两个答案均可。

【4】be used for……用来做……。文章中invent a small special machine that tells car drivers when a train is coming这句话说发明了一个能告知汽车司机火车来了的小机器，that引导定语从句，修饰machine.
