问题                         Bessie Coleman
   Bessie was born in Atlanta, Texas in 1893. Her father was an Indian and her mother an African American. Her father left the family when she was seven. At such a young age, Bessie picked cotton. She also took on extra washing and ironing to help her mother meet family expenses.
   After finishing high school, Bessie went to Chicago to stay with a younger brother. She became interested in aviation (飞行) shortly after World War I . But because of her sex and color she could not enroll (注册入学) in an aviation school in the US. Later, a newspaper editor told her that the only path left open to her would be an aviation school in Europe. She then made two trips to Europe. She studied under top German and French pilots, and returned to Chicago with an international pilot’ s license. Bessie became the only black woman pilot in the world.
   Her work as a pilot took her into a field untouched by women in her day. This field was exhibition flying. In 1922, Bessie gave her first exhibition flying show. Several thousand eager fans came to see the unusual show. She went on giving air shows all over the US. She gained national attention and thousands of fans of all races. She was not discouraged by words from her family or seeing the death of a student pilot. Nor did suffering a broken leg and arm in an air crash scare her. Letters poured in from young black people. Like Bessie, they wanted to go into the field of aviation. Long before her first exhibition, Bessie dreamed of setting up a flying school for blacks. Unfortunately, she died in a flight accident before her dream was realized.
Bessie’ s unrealized dream was to______.
选项 A、reduce flight accidents
B、set up her own flying team
C、involve more women in aviation
D、found a flying school for blacks
答案D
解析 事实细节题。第四段最后两句话提到，贝西的梦想是专门给黑人建立一所飞行学校，但不幸的是在实现她的梦想之前，她在一次飞行事故中去世了。由此可知，她未实现的梦想就是专门给黑人建立一所飞行学校，故选D。
