D 美国拼写比赛 记叙文
☆☆☆☆ 7分钟 _________ _________
Are you good at spelling words? If so, you can join in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. It is a spelling competition in the United States.
If you heard the word "koinonia", would you be able to spell it? This was the strange word that Karthik Nemmani, 14, spelled correctly to win the 2018 spelling competition on May 31st. As a result, he won a prize of 40,000.
The Scripps National Spelling Bee has been held in May or June every year since 1925. It is open to students around the world who are less than 15 years old and have not yet finished eighth grade. Competitors have to correctly spell English words to win the competition. The words are usually quite hard to spell because they are either uncommon or have many letters.
One interesting fact about the competition is that most of the winners in recent years have been Indian-Americans. Karthik Nemmani is the 19th Indian-American winner in the last 23 years. One reason for this is that Indian-American parents pay attention to their children's education. Their kids often work much harder than others in both school and their future work.

答案
D
【短文大意】美国拼写大赛已有近百年的历史，在获胜的孩子的家庭中，他们的父母重视教育，而孩子本人在学业和未来的事业中也更努力。
1. A 【解析】数字计算题。由短文第三段第一句中的“every year since 1925”可知，这个拼写比赛自1925年就开始举行，且一年举办一次，故到2018年共办了94次。
2. D 【解析】细节理解题。由短文第三段最后一句可知，这些单词很难拼写，因为它们要么不常见，要么有很多字母；第二段第二句中提到卡西克赢得比赛是因为他将一个奇怪的单词拼写正确了，所以可知这些单词具有不常见、字母多、奇怪这三个特点。
3. D 【解析】推理判断题。由短文中第三段第二句可知，参加拼写比赛的孩子必须是15岁以下并且八年级没有上完，只有D项不符合条件。
4. C 【解析】推理判断题。根据短文最后一段可知，过去的23年里有19个印度裔美国孩子赢得拼写比赛，这些孩子在学业和将来的事业中更努力，原因是他们的父母很重视他们的教育，故A、B、D项正确。从文章第二段第三句和第三段第三句可知，拼写比赛的第一名获得了一笔奖金，而不是每一个参加比赛的孩子都有，故C项错误。
