Question

Mom noticed that something was wrong when I started getting so thirsty. I’d have a lot to drink before bed, which was unusual for me. One time, I opened a big container of apple juice and kept refilling my glass. Before I knew it, I’d drunk the entire container! My mom called my doctor. I then had a few blood tests, and the results were certain — I had diabetes (糖尿病), which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high. That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how to control my blood-sugar level.

    My eating habits had to change in a big way. With diabetes, I can’t eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (碳水化合物). I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat, and then I get an injection of insulin (注射胰岛素) before the meal to help my body process the food. Also, I test my blood-sugar level often. I’m always trying to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level. The level can drop when I exercise, but that doesn’t keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court — I just keep some juice boxes around to boost my blood sugar if I need to.

    It’s a lot of work — and not a lot of fun — to keep track of everything, but I’ve gotten used to my new habits. I was a little scared at first because I wasn’t sure how my life would change. Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasn’t a big deal. My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me.

【解析】

试题分析：

1.C 段落大意题。本文第一段是关于我如何发现自己患上糖尿病的过程。是因为自己喝东西太多了，这个现象让妈妈感觉奇怪，所以去检查了，发现自己患上了糖尿病。故C正确。

2.B 细节题。根据第一段最后两行That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how to control my blood-sugar level. 说明B正确。

3.A 推理题。根据本句The level can drop when I exercise, but that doesn’t keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court — I just keep some juice boxes around to boost my blood sugar if I need to.说明在运动的时候我的血糖水平会降低，所以我带上果汁，如果在需要的时候喝果汁，来提高我的血糖含量。那么该词应该是指提高，故A正确。

4.D 推理题。根据文章最后三行I was a little scared at first because I wasn’t sure how my life would change. Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasn’t a big deal. My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me. 说明起初的时候，我很担心，但是后来我知道了这并不是什么大事。我已经习惯了现在的生活，说明我对待这个问题很乐观。故D正确。
