一、阅读回答问题
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
The actor Christopher Reeve is best known as the star of four Superman movies. However, something terrible happened to him on May 27, 1995. His head landed first and badly hurt when he was thrown from his horse in an accident.
Reeve’s life was saved by doctors, but the fighting against his hard life just began. As an actor, he would never be able to feel anything below his neck, breathe without help from a machine or do any physical activity on his own again.
During this time, Reeve felt like he had lost all hope. He wished that he was dead and even thought of ending his own life. It was only because of the support of his wife, family and fiends that he found the hope and courage to live again.
Reeve put his heart into learning everything he could about his injuries. He took lots of exercises. Reeve never met his goal of getting back on his feet, but he made great progress. Shortly after, he managed to return to his film work by directing, producing and even starring in films. He also wrote a book about his experience and returned to his charity work. Reeve became an energetic supporter for disabled people and raised money in support of medical research. “What I do is based on powers we all have inside us and you don’t have to be a ‘superman’ to do it.” His attitude encouraged many people who were stuck in illness. “With the progress of new medical research, I’m confident that people like me would be able to walk again one day. So you can see. I’m too busy with living to think of giving up!”
His ten-year-long fighting came to an end on October 10, 2004, at the age of 52. His active performance for the disabled proved more superhuman than anything that could be dreamed up for the big screen.

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

When you take notes in your classes, are you confident that you’ll actually go back and look over them? Or do you just write out your notes in class and then completely forget all of the information you wrote down? A useful note-taking method can not only save you precious time and energy, but also help you better understand what you learn.
This well-known note-taking method is called the Cornell Note-taking System. It was first developed in the 1940s by education professor Walter Pauk at Cornell University to help students learn. According to Cornell Notes, each page is divided into three sections: the note-taking column, the cue column （提示栏） and summary space. It’s very easy. You just need to draw two lines on your note page, leaving a 2.5-inch margin on the left and a 2-inch margin on the bottom.
The note-taking column, which is the biggest space is used to write down notes while you are in class or reading an article. The key point is that you don’t write down what you hear word by word. It requires you to be very brief, using short phrases, symbols or keywords to replace long sentences.
To help with future review, you can write some related questions on the left. The next step is to cover the note-taking column with a sheet of paper or your hand. Then, by only looking at the questions for key words, try to repeat the content in your own words.
The summary space is designed to help you reflect on what you’ve learned. Questions may also be useful. For example, what’s the significance of these facts? What principles are they based on? What’s beyond them? You can also write down your own ideas and personal feelings. Don’t forget to review from time to time so that you will remember the information more easily.
Practice makes perfect. After a few months of using this handy note-taking method, you are sure to become the note-taking star of your class. And even better, you’ll finally be able to remember what you have learned.

what a引导感叹句，修饰可数名词的单数形式；what引导感叹句，修饰可数名词复数/不可数名词；how a用法有误；how引导感叹句，修饰形容词/副词。此处修饰形容词“wonderful”，应使用how引导感叹句，故选D
