外刊阅读——学会地道英语 昏迷的女孩奇迹苏醒
In 2017, Jennifer Flewellen’s life took a sudden turn while 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 challenging 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、【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，佩吉每天都照顾詹妮弗，她心态乐观，不停地跟女儿说话。这不但表现了佩吉对女儿很有耐心，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终于醒来及康复过程。故选B。
（二）1. repeatedly 2. challenging

解析
【分析】
本题为英语综合练习题，涵盖词汇运用与阅读理解两大模块，解题思路如下：
1. 词汇填空：需根据句子结构判断所填词的词性，再转换所给单词形式（如副词修饰动词、形容词修饰名词）；
2. 词汇替换：先明确黑体短语含义，再匹配方框内单词的正确形式，注意词性变化；
3. 汉译英：回忆对应汉语的英语固定短语，结合时态要求调整形式；
4. 句式仿写：掌握as if引导方式状语从句的用法，描述与事实不符的情况时从句用虚拟语气；
5. 阅读理解：词义猜测需结合上下文语境；推理判断要定位段落分析人物品质；篇章结构需梳理各段核心内容划分层次。
【解析】
一、（一）
1. 句意：他做作业非常粗心，犯了很多错误。修饰动词did需用副词，careless的副词形式为carelessly；
2. 句意：珍妮将缺席接下来两个月的团队活动。此处需形容词修饰名词two months，follow的形容词形式为following；
3. 句意：我的新生活方式包括日常锻炼和健康饮食习惯。daily可作形容词修饰名词exercise，符合语境；
（二）
1. 句意：我反复道歉，但没用。over and over again意为“反复”，对应方框内repeat的副词形式repeatedly；
2. 句意：无帮助完成繁重任务对我们来说是艰难时期。hard意为“艰难的”，对应方框内challenge的形容词形式challenging；
（三）
1. 句意：表弟放弃出国工作机会回到家乡。“放弃”为固定短语give up，结合过去式returned，用过去式gave up；
2. 句意：爱丽丝不到三天就完成了项目。“不到/少于”为固定短语less than；
（四）
仿写需用as if引导方式状语从句，描述与过去事实不符的情况，从句用过去完成时，故为Sarah got up early and went to work, as if nothing had happened.
二、阅读理解
1. 词义猜测题：由第二段医生称詹妮弗苏醒可能性小，可知她陷入昏迷，故“coma”意为“昏迷”，选A；
2. 推理判断题：第三段佩吉每日照顾女儿、保持积极，体现耐心与爱，①②正确，③④无依据，选C；
3. 篇章结构题：第一段讲詹妮弗车祸昏迷，二三段讲妈妈照料，四五六段讲苏醒康复，对应选项B。
【答案】
一、（一）1. carelessly 2. following 3. daily
（二）1. repeatedly 2. challenging
（三）1. gave up 2. less than
（四）Sarah got up early and went to work, as if nothing had happened.
二、1. A 2. C 3. B
