选项 A、time
B、period
C、years
D、age
答案D
解析 这是一篇介绍美国第一位女宇航员莱德生平的文章。既然是生平，就得按照年岁来写：在她十岁的时候(at the age of 10)，她开始打网球，还赢得了(won)网球奖学金，进入洛杉矶的女子学校(Westlake School for girls)，其他三个选项如boys，males和 whites都与正文不相关。毕业后(after her graduation)，她进入Swarthmore学院，但又退了学(dropped out)，成为职业网球队员(professional tennis player)。她努力训练网球(worked hard on)，work (hard) on sth．是个固定搭配，表示“努力做某事”。可不久她决定离开 (quit)网球，又进入斯坦福大学。因为她一直对数学和科学感兴趣(had always been interested in)，所以她获得了博士学位(earned her doctorate degree)。后来，她在大学的报纸上看到一则广告(advertisement)，是有关美国宇航局(NASA)招募(looking for)宇航员的。于是，她向这项航天计划提出申请(applied to the program)，apply一般跟for，表示申请什么职位，也可跟to，表示向谁申请。在8000多位候选人当中，有35人被接受了 (accepted)。作为宇航员(as an astronaut)，她经受了系统的训练，成为美国第一位女性宇航员。1987年她从宇航局退休(retired from)，回到(return to)斯坦福大学担任物理学教授，继续(continues)鼓励年轻妇女学习数学和科学，同时还是几本有关宇宙和宇航的儿童图书的作者(author)。注意：完形填空的填空词分为实词(如名词、动词、形容词、副词)和虚词 (连词、介词、冠词等)。对于名词，考生应结合前后文的意思做出选择，如【B1】题，前文谈的是Ride的出生日，后面提到她十岁，因此这个空格应填age，period(期间)、time (时间)、years(年)都不合前后文。再如【B11】题，参照后半句，在大学报纸上刊登的只可能是广告(advertisement)，不可能是节目(item)、作业(assignment)或考试(exam)。
