Ⅰ.七选五
My father used to be an amateur wrestler and national champion.He was forced by his father to give up the sport in order to obtain gainful employment, which meant he wouldn't be able to win a medal for our country.Therefore, he made a vow that his unborn son would realize his unfinished dream. 1
He was about to give up hope when one day, my younger sister Babita and I beat up two boys accidentally in response to critical comments.My dad found our potential to become wrestlers and began coaching us. 2 We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have short haircuts to avoid lice.
3 We complained about him all the time.Gradually, I realized that he wanted us to have a good future and not grow up to be ordinary housewives.Motivated, we willingly participated in his coaching.
With great efforts, he made us competitive wrestlers and I won junior and senior championships, providing me with a chance to gain training in the National Sports Academy, where pride and agony fulfilled my mind. 4 As a result, I found myself losing every match at the international level.After that, I turned to him for help.Then he coached me patiently.
Despite difficulty, I finally became the first Indian female wrestler to qualify for the Olympics, inspiring dozens of Indian women to take to wrestling.Even now, Papa's words are still in my mind “Geeta, think about all the girls who are thought to
be inferior to boys, girls who are forced to do chores, girls who are married and have children.Not only will you compete with other countries, but also with those who look down upon women！” I will never forget about father's instruction. 5 A．But his methods were cruel.
B．I almost abandoned what Papa had taught me.
C．Disappointingly, my mother gave birth to all girls.
D．My sister and I tried to escape.
E．I will always owe all success to him.
F．At first, my sister and I did not understand our father.
G．However, my mother didn't agree with him.
【语篇解读】“我”的爸爸曾经是业余的摔跤运动员和全国冠军，但被迫放弃了摔跤，他把所有的希望寄托在未出生的儿子身上，但是“我”的妈妈生的都是女孩。

一天爸爸发现了“我”和妹妹身上的摔跤天赋，并开始对我们进行严格训练，最终“我”成为印度第一位取得参加奥运会资格的女子摔跤运动员。

1．解析：选C根据空处前一句“Therefore, he made a vow that his unborn son would realize his unfinished dream.”可知，他要让他未出生的儿子实现他未完成的梦；结合第二段第一句“He was about to give up hope when one day ments.”可知，他几乎放弃了希望；据此可以判断，“我”的妈妈生的都是女孩，所以父亲很失望，故C项符合语境。

2．解析：选A根据空处后一句“We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have short haircuts to avoid lice.”可知，我们在清晨便要参加训练，必须剪成短发；据此可以判断，父亲的训练方法很残酷，故A项符合语境。

3．解析：选F本段讲述了我们对于爸爸残酷的训练方式从不情愿到接受的心态的变化；根据空处后一句“We complained about him all the time.”可知，我们开始对父亲是抱怨、不理解的。

故选F项。

4．解析：选B根据空处后一句“As a result, I found myself losing every match at the international level.”和下文中的“After that, I turned to him for help.”可知，“我”在国际水平的比赛中总是失败，而上文中讲的却是“我”不断胜利，拿到冠军；由此可知“我”摒弃了爸爸教给“我”的方法，结果在每一场国际水平的比赛中“我”都输了，故选B项。

5．解析：选E本段叙述了爸爸的话，结合空处前一句“I will never forget about father's instruction.”可知，“我”不会忘记爸爸的教导，并从全文来看，“我”的成功与爸爸是分不开的。

故选E项。
