外刊阅读——学会地道英语
In 2017, Jennifer Flewellen’s life took a sudden turn while she was driving to work. After dropping her kids off at school, she knocked her car on a pole (杆子) carelessly. She ended up in a serious condition and was in a coma for five years.
Throughout this time, Jennifer’s mother, Peggy Means, never lost hope for her daughter’s recovery (康复). Doctors repeatedly told Peggy that Jennifer’s chances of waking up were slim and that even if she did awaken, she would not be able to work.
But Peggy never gave up her hope. She cared for Jennifer daily, staying positive and treating her as if she could hear. “I’d tell her what the kids are doing, what we’ve been doing, and I tried to encourage her,” Peggy said. “For years I would hold her hands and say ‘Just hold my hand, Jennifer. Hold my hand.’” But she never did.
Finally, on August 25, 2022, during a talk, Jennifer laughed at a joke Peggy made. After nearly five years, Jennifer woke up.
In the following weeks, with Peggy’s help, Jennifer went from making small sounds to saying vowels (元音) and even spelling words. In less than a year, she was able to come back home full-time.
Even though Jennifer is making great progress, Peggy keeps setting new goals for her recovery. “We still have much work to do,” Peggy said. “I want her to walk again. We’ll keep pushing forward because you never know what’s possible when you stay positive.” Mother and her daughter continue their daily journey with hope and determination (决心).

二、答案速查 1.A 2.C 3.B
【主旨大意】本文主要讲述了詹妮弗·弗莱韦伦因车祸陷入昏迷，母亲佩吉·米恩斯细心照料，坚信她能醒来。在将近5年后，詹妮弗醒了过来。
1. A【点拨】词义猜测题。由第二段的第二句可知，医生们一再告诉佩吉，詹妮弗醒过来的可能性很小，即使她醒过来，也无法工作。由此推出，詹妮弗昏迷了，故画线单词的意思是“昏迷”。故选A。
2. C【点拨】推理判断题。通读第三段可知，佩吉每天照顾詹妮弗，她心态乐观，不停地跟女儿说话。这不但表现了佩吉很有耐心，也表现出她对女儿深深的爱。故选C。
3. B【点拨】篇章结构题。第一段讲的是詹妮弗因车祸陷入昏迷；第二至三段是詹妮弗昏迷后，妈妈没有放弃而是悉心照料她；第四至六段是詹妮弗醒来及康复过程。故选B。
