(2019·四川眉山中学高一月考)
After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program, her mother recalled(回忆)，Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices.“Everyone else was already admitted to college，” her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said from the family home. “So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said，‘You have to let me in．’”
“Impressed—she was a National Merit (全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil. Yale did，admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist，” her mother said.
On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled (炮击) the city of Horns. She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.
“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”， Mrs. Colvin said.“ Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.”
Mrs.Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict (冲突) zones. “If you knew my daughter，” she said, “you would find it was such a waste of words. She was determined, she was enthusiastic about what she did, and it was her life. She believed that there was no saying ‘Don't do this.’ She said，‘Cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.’and so she did.”
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了Colvin夫人回忆女儿Marie Colvin曾经的一些经历，从中我们可以知道：她的女儿是一名优秀的新闻记者，在叙利亚冲突地区工作时不幸殉职。
25．From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1, we can infer that ________．
A．Yale was her last choice
B．Marie Colvin was confident of herself
C．Yale must keep its promise to Marie Colvin
D．Marie Colvin was good at persuasion
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知，Marie Colvin因在巴西参加一个为期一年的交换生项目而错过了大学录取时间，所以她就直接开车去了耶鲁大学，让耶鲁大学录取她，由此可推断出，Marie Colvin很自信。故选B项。

A．dislikes the choice of her daughter
B．cares little about her daughter
C．knows her daughter very well
D．doesn't fully appreciate her daughter

B．Applying for Top Universities, a Successful Case
