阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Alex Elman runs a big business — something difficult to imagine after she lost her sight in her twenties. But Elman says that losing her sight helped her focus on finding success.
Elman’s father planted a hillside vineyard in western Massachusetts in 1981. It’s where Elman fled during the darkest period of her life. When she was 27 years old, she went blind due to complications from juvenile diabetes (糖尿病) 17 years ago. She recalled, “I hid in my home. I hid in the place. For me, that was the safest place in the world.”
Elman is now the founder of Alex Elman Wines, a growing portfolio (系列产品) of organic wines from all around the world: Chianti from Italy, Torrontes from

Argentina. Elman doesn’t work alone. Her assistant, a guide dog named Hanley, is something of a wine snob, and quite a beggar. Hanley travels to all of the wineries that Elman does, from South America to Europe.
At first, Elman resisted the idea of a guide-dog. Now it’s hard to imagine her life, or her business, without him. She said. “When someone tells me something is organic and I don’t really believe it because I taste something funny on it, I’ll put it in front of his face and if he likes the wine, he’ll go to sniff it. If it’s not right, he’ll turn his head away. He gets in the dirt with me. He scratches around. He makes sure that we see earthworms and butterflies. That’s how we know that the soil is actually organic, and that there are no chemicals.”
Elman told CBS News she believes the loss of her vision was a gift. She said, “It allowed me to pay attention to what I thought was important and also to be able to teach people that the broken hang nail is not a big deal, you know what I mean? Don’t sweat the small stuff. Don’t sweat the big stuff either.”
1. Elman hid herself in her father’s vineyard probably because she ________. A. suffered from juvenile diabetes B. was extremely painful for her blindness C. would like to help her father with the work D. expected to recover her sight sooner or later
2. The underlined phrase “the broken hang nail” (in Paragraph 5) probably refers to _____.
A. a nail which is of no use
B. a disadvantage you have in your life C. a person who is hard to deal with D. a task that is not easy to accomplish
3. This passage is mainly to tell us that _________. A. Alex Elman leads a miserable life B. Hanley brings Alex Elman much fun C. Alex Elman gets along well with her pet D. a blind woman tastes success in wine business

【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D 【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了盲人亚历克斯·艾尔曼创立了酒企业的事迹。埃尔曼在27岁的时候失明，但是她并没有消极对待人生，在导盲犬的帮助下，她成功的创立了自己的公司，有了自己的品牌。 【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中第二段可知，当她失明后，她把自己藏在了父亲的葡萄酒园里，是因为她当时内心很痛苦，故B选项正确。 【2题详解】
词义猜测题。由画线部分前面提到作者认为失明对她来说是一份礼物而不是灾难，因为她懂得了什么是重要的，这里作者想告诉人们生活中的困难并没有什么了不起，所以破碎的钉子指的是生活中的困难。故B选项正确。 【3题详解】
主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲了一个盲人女人成功的创建了她自己的酒企业。D选项正确。
B
Regardless of how far we’d like to believe gender（性别）equality in the workplace has come, there’s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world. A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.
While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.
In their research, Professor Oyvind L. Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (调查) 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.
While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical
