语 篇 提 能阅读理解AAbout twenty years ago I had the pleasure of teaching a disabled young woman. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also extremely talented in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university she got two degrees, one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such different areas of study.Just before her high school graduation, Audrey gave me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolor painting of a mother and her baby. A tear fell from the mothers eye as she looked lovingly at her child. Beneath the painting Audrey had written these words. “The deep love from Mother, through me, touches another.” What a beautiful gift! I had the piece of art framed (给做框) and hung in my office.Years passed with many moves from one office to another and I lost the painting. Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I received a phone from a former colleague who said she had something of mine. It was the picture Audrey had painted for me 18 years earlier. When cleaning out a storage room she had discovered my gift.I was struck that the precious gift came back. I knew Audrey very well. When she was four years old Audrey had a serious disease. Whats worse, her father left the house. It was her mother who brought her up with much trouble. She survived the disease but was disabled.To any other it is just a painting, but to me it shows how a mothers love has helped develop a talent and how its power pushes me ahead.1What made Audrey different from others was that she _.A. could draw and paint beautifullyB. was good at math and chemistryC. got two degrees in two different fieldsD. was a student in a key university答案与解析C推理推断题。依据第一段最终一句话“Not too many people do well in two such different areas of study.”可以推断C项正确。2How did the author regain the painting?A.
