16.Singing had always been an important part of Gloria Estefan's life."Since I was three years old,I sang.I sang everything,"Gloria said."Cubans,"she added,"are a musical people".
Gloria was born in Cuba in 1957.Her family left the country just before Fidel Castro came to power.In Miami,where the family settled,many people did not accept Cuban immigrants.In first grade,she spoke little English,but she worked hard to learn the language.Six months after she entered school,she won an award for reading in English!
When Gloria was ten,her father returned from the Vietnam War.Soon,the family realized he wasn't well.They soon found out that he was badly ill.Her mother went back to teaching at school to support the family.Gloria cared for her father and her younger sister.
She still made the honor roll,and she still had her music,but Gloria was lonely.However,when the band leader Emilio Estefan came to speak at her high school,Gloria sang for him.He asked her to join his band.It was the beginning of the Miami Sound Machine.
Within a few months,the Miami Sound Machine was the top band in Miami.In 1978Gloria and Emilio married.
At first,the Miami Sound Machine was known only in Miami.Then the band signed with CBS Records.Estefan and his band became stars.
Since then,the Miami Sound Machine has sold millions of records.Gloria has done more than just singing when Hurricane Andrew hit central Florida in 1992.She used only two weeks to organize an all-star concert that raised﹩2million for the people who suffered in the hurricane."We needed a party after that  disaster,"she said.
Gloria said,"You have to stay true to the music you really love to do.There will always be people who will tell you,‘that won't work.'You've got to be firm in spite of difficulties.Stick to it-that's the main thing."

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了歌手格罗瑞娅,唱歌一直是她生活的重要组成部分,她十岁的时候她的父亲病的很厉害,她母亲去学校教学来贴补家用,因此她在家照顾父亲和妹妹,后来她的乐队与唱片公司签约,她成为了明星,她的唱片售出了数以百万计的记录并且她组织了为飓风受害者举办的全明星演唱会.

解答 46.C  细节拉筋题.根据第三段When Gloria was ten,her father returned from the Vietnam War.Soon,the family realized he wasn't well.可知当格罗瑞娅十岁的时候,她父亲的身体状况不容乐观,病的很厉害,故选C.
47.C  细节理解题,根据倒数第二段She used only two weeks to organize an all-star concert that raised $ 2 million for the people who suffered in the hurricane.第三段she won an award for reading in English!D.Gloria cared for her father and her younger sister.以及Her mother went back to teaching at school to support the family.可知格罗瑞娅组织为飓风受害者举办的全明星演唱会;获得英语阅读奖;并照顾她的父亲和妹妹;但是文中说的是他妈妈去学校任教,只有选项C与文章不符,故选C.
48.D  词义猜测题,根据倒数第二段最后两句in the hurricane."We needed a party after that disaster,"she said.可知格罗瑞娅花费两周组织为飓风受害者举办的全明星演唱会,因此可推知"disaster"值得就是前文的飓风,故选D.
49.A  主旨大意题,通读全文可知作者在本文中主要向我们介绍了歌手格罗瑞娅的生平事迹以及她如何取得最后的成功,故选A.

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
