专题强化练（十二）　词句猜测题——句意理解类

A

（2022·潍坊高三统考）On the outside，12­year­old Luna seems like your average kid.It's not until you get to know her that you learn that Luna is anything but average.

Born with a heart defect（缺陷）called dextrocardia，Luna has had three open­heart operations and continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion.But when Luna was approached by athletic shoe company Saucony to design a pair of shoes for sale across the country，it came as quite a surprise.

“This is so incredible.I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I'd never thought I'd be able to design.” Luna said.She is one of the six patients from Boston Children's Hospital（BCH）who have partnered Saucony to design their own shoes to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign.

“Rather than just a donation，we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would raise not only money，but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that's being done at BCH，”says Chris，Saucony's vice president.“Specifically，we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their story and their talents with the world.”

Luna's design is fashion.“On the tongue，they digitalized one of my drawings，and then at the bottom it's a really bright pink colour，and on the inside，the sole of the shoe is actually another drawing I did of a sunset，” she said.“Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoes is amazing.It blows my mindＷ.”

The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children's Hospital Cardiac Fitness Programme，which encourages kids to“find your possibility”through personalized exercise programmes tailored for each individual patient's heart condition.

“It feels really good to help people and it's really something I can relate to，” says Luna.“The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is‘Never give up’.There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you're not alone.”

Today，almost a third of Japan's population is over 65.So，to help society deal with an ageing population，a Tokyo company has developed an“Ageing Suit”.As a journalist，I went along to try it out.

The few hours I spent at the“Wonderful Aging Club”were，it has to be said，rather depressing.I，dressed in the club's “Ageing Suit”，was transformed rather too quickly from a relatively healthy 36­year­old to an 80­year­old.

First，I had to put on restrictive bindings（镶边）over my knees，elbows，ankles and feet，which made me unable to move normally.The ladies of the Wonderful Aging Club，however，were still far from finished.Assuring me that their suit had been carefully designed on the basis of scientific research into the exact effects of ageing，they next applied a pair of special gloves to my hands to make grabbing much more difficult.A number of weights were attached to my body to create the sensation of weakened muscles.A pair of earplugs muffled my hearing and my vision grew rather clouded as a result of the special glasses.This completed imprisonment in a body more than twice my own age.Now I found myself clumsily getting my way through such newly difficult tasks as sitting down on a chair and then standing up again or opening a can of Coke.

But what is the purpose of this ageing suit？The company claims that it gives a very accurate representation of what being old is really like，and that，when it comes to planning for the future，that experience will be of great value.They hope to see whether the products or services they offer really do meet the needs of the elderly.

The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd.When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949，I was a nine­year­old war refugee，who had lost the mother and was coming to live with the father I did not know.

I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High School.Shortly after I arrived，I was told to select a hobby to pursue during“club hours”.The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears，but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class.She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd，the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.

A tough woman with salt­and­pepper hair and determined eyes，Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones.She drilled us in grammar，assigned stories for us to read and discuss，and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper.Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war­torn homeland，making me proud of my origins.Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language.Owing to her inspiration，during my next twenty­five years，I became a journalist by profession.

Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62.By then，she had taught for a total of 41 years.Even after her retirement，she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential.The students were mainly from the most troubled homes，yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love，until the spark caught fire.

Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing.But for Miss Hurd，I wouldn't have become a reporter.She was the one who sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.
