【答案】

（1）A

（2）C

（3）B

（4）C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，伊莎多拉·邓肯十岁时辍学去教别人跳舞，作者讲述了她的早期的经历以及其取得成功的原因。

（1）考查词义猜测。

根据第二段中的“Notonlywasshealreadytalentedenoughtoearnmoneyevenatthatage,butshealsohadararekindofconfidence”即使在那个年龄，她也有足够的天赋去挣钱，而且她还有一种罕见的自信；以及“somethingtoelevatethefirethatisalreadyburninginsideofher”能让她心中燃烧的火焰更旺，可推测出划线部分的意思应为“用困难推动她向梦想前进”。

故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“Duncanwasverydirectaboutwhatshewanted,confidentlytellingpeopleshehadadifferentvisionofdancethatshewasgoingtospreadintheworld.This,naturally,ledtoridiculeandlaughsearlyon,butasshebuiltupherwork,theseinstancesbecamelessfrequent.”可知，她自信地告诉人们她对舞蹈有不同的看法，她将在世界上传播。

很自然，这在一开始就引起了人们的嘲笑和大笑，但随着她的工作越来越多，这样的事情就不那么频繁了。

由此可知，她的舞蹈风格一开始不被人们接受。

故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“ifyoujudgeafishbyitsabilitytoclimbatree,itwillliveitswholelifebelievingthatitisstupid.”如果你以爬树的能力来判断一条鱼，它终其一生都会认为自己是愚蠢的。

接着又指出在学校里，伊莎多拉·邓肯是个失败者。

在舞厅里，她光彩夺目。

由此可推断出，作者在最后一段想要告诉我们每个人都是独特的天才。

故选B。

（4）考查主旨大意。

伊莎多拉·邓肯十岁时辍学去教别人跳舞，文章主要介绍了她的经历以及所取得的成功。

故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇人物类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，苏安妮·拉克尔大半生教舞蹈，设计舞蹈，在舞台表演，以舞蹈的形式讲述故事。

后来，成为一名自主出版的作家，自费出版了自己的小说。

2016年，她的小说《云雀的狂欢》在第25届《作家文摘》（Writer'sDigest）自出版图书奖上大出风头。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“AlthoughLaqueurbeganwritingatayoungage,dancingalwaystookcenterstage.ShemajoredindanceandtheateratAlfredUniversityandtaughtathermother'sdancestudioinCroton-on-Hudson,”可知，跳舞始终是Laqueur的中心。

她在阿尔弗雷德大学主修舞蹈和戏剧，并在她母亲的舞蹈工作室任教多年。

可知，Laqueur是一个兼职作家。

故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“YetLaqueur'sdisinterestinrunningthestudiochangedwhenshebecameaself-publishedauthor.Inthefallof2013,shedecidedtopursueSelf-publishingasawayofsharingherfirstcompletednovelwithfriendsandfamily.”可知，当她成为一名自主出版的 作家，想出版自己的小说时，改变了她对商业的态度。

故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的“Her2016novelAnExaltationofLarksstoletheshowatthe25thAnnualWriter'sDigestSelf-PublishedBookAwards,toppingmorethan2,300entriestowinthegrandprize.”可知“第25届年度作家文摘出版图书颁奖上，2300多篇作品获得了大奖”。

可知，这是大出风头，吸引了所有人的关注，故选C。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段Laqueur所言“Therearetrade-offs,whicheveryonewilltellyou,butbyself-publishingIhavecontrolofthebook,Ihavecontrolofthestory,andI'mcoolwiththat.”可知，她认为自主出版的方式让她能出版自己的书，自己要写的故事。
