话题:相互陪伴与关爱
The insistent knock on the door brought me quickly from my kitchen. With my children down for a nap, I hurried to answer before they were all awakened. We had just moved here and I couldn't imagine who it would be. I opened the door and a crack revealed an old man dressed in dirty clothing.
“Can I help you?” I asked, hoping he had the wrong address.
“Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables?” His voice was trembling but his eyes were hopeful. I wondered if he badly needed the bit of money he was asking for his produce. “I'm Mr. Locket living around the corner. My wife passed away and my children live far away,” he added. Later we knew that the need for companionship had sent him door to door by means of selling fruits and vegetables and ours was the only door opened to him.
As days went on, Mr. Locket became a daily visitor. Every day he read books in our big chair with my children curled up on his lap. When they took an afternoon nap, he would rest his head on the back of the chair. In his quiet and gentle way, he endeared_himself_to each child. Gradually the name “Grandpa Locket” slipped into our conversations.
Three years later, we had to move to Ontario. He arrived as usual that morning. “Mr. Locket,” I tried to break the news in a gentle way, “You've become a treasured part of this family, but...” Tears glistened in the corners of his eyes.
“I promise to keep in touch with you and...” My throat tightened. He nodded and softly said, “Thank you for all your kindness to an old man. When I needed a family, you included me.” With tears, we all hugged him tightly.
About a year later, a small envelope from Mr. Locket's daughter was delivered to our home. She informed us that our dear old friend had died. “I'm so grateful for your loving care for my father,” she wrote, “I can see how much you meant to him, too.” Actually we're also grateful for the unexpected love that swept into our lives the moment we opened that door.
1.Which of the following is the true reason why the old man knocked on the door?
A.To sell produce.
B.To visit the family.
C.To beg for money.
D.To seek company.
2. What does the underlined phrase “endeared himself to” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Felt guilty about.
B.Buried himself in.
C.Contributed himself to.
D.Made himself liked by.
3.Which sentence can show the old man's deep feeling for the family most?
A.“...When I needed a family, you included me.”
B.“You've become a treasured part of this family, but...”
C.“Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables?”
D.When they took an afternoon nap, he would rest his head on the back of the chair.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.All is well that ends well.
B.Love is a twoway experience.
C.Children's company is important.
D.All good things must come to an end.
[语篇解读] 本文为一篇记叙文,记叙了作者一家与Locket先生相互陪伴与关爱的故事。
1.D [细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Later we knew that the need for companionship had sent him door to door by means of selling fruits and vegetables and ours was the only door opened to him.(后来我们才知道,由于需要陪伴,他不得不挨家挨户地推销水果和蔬菜,而我们家的门是唯一向他敞开的。)”可知,老人敲门是为了寻求陪伴。]
2.D [词义猜测题。根据文章划线句上文“Every day he read books in our big chair with my children curled up on his lap. When they took an afternoon nap, he would rest his head on the back of the chair.(每天他都坐在我们家的大椅子上看书,我的孩子们蜷缩在他的腿上。他们午睡的时候,他会把头靠在椅背上。)”以及下一句“Gradually the name ‘Grandpa Locket’ slipped into our conversations.(渐渐地,‘Locket爷爷’这个名字出现在我们的谈话中。)”可知,Locket深受孩子们的喜爱,“endeared himself to”与“made himself liked by”意思相近,表示“使自己受……的喜爱、欢迎”。]
3.A [推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“He nodded and softly said, ‘Thank you for all your kindness to an old man. When I needed a family, you included me.’ With tears, we all hugged him tightly.(他点点头,温柔地说:‘谢谢你们对一位老人的好意。当我需要家人的时候,你们让我加入。’我们都流着泪紧紧地抱住了他。)”可知,老人十分感激作者一家的陪伴,因此,他对作者一家有很深的感情,“...When I needed a family, you included me.”这一句最能体现老人对这家人的感情。]
4.B [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘I'm so grateful for your loving care for my father,’ she wrote, ‘I can see how much you meant to him, too.’ Actually we're also grateful for the unexpected love that swept into our lives the moment we opened that door.(‘我非常感激你们对我父亲的关爱,’她写道:‘我知道你们对他也很重要。’其实我们也很感激,当我们打开那扇门的那一刻,突如其来的爱就席卷了我们的生活。)”可推知,作者一家给予老人关爱,同时也获得了老人的陪伴,这种爱是相互的。]

话题:动物跨种族友谊
You may have recently seen a video from the Beijing Wildlife Zoo becoming a hit. What exactly was so interesting about this video? It shows a dog playing with big cats four to five times its size! Many people might wonder if this dog has a death wish, but it seems that the dog and the big cats are good friends.
The dog was actually raised alongside the lion and tiger cubs, making up an odd but loving family, according to zoo officials. As opposed to the common belief, crossspecies friendship has been around for centuries. People have domesticated many animals, most notably cats and dogs, and formed bonds with them as pets. Perhaps you even have a pet yourself.
There are many other instances of crossspecies friendships.
At an animal sanctuary in Santiago, Chile, a jaguar named Marina and a deer named Laura formed a friendship after they both came to the park. As neither animal had a mother, sanctuary staff said they instantly bonded when they met. Laura had been rescued from a slaughterhouse while Marina had been rescued from the street.
One possible explanation for these friendships is the environment of the zoo. Animals don't hunt for their food and don't need to worry about marking their territory or looking for mates in the way an animal in the wild would. “All those activities take time and energy, and if these needs are removed, the animals get bored,” Gordon Burghardt, a psychologist at the University of Tenessee, US, told The Atlantic magazine. “In this particular situation, the animal's motivation to engage socially and playfully may be higher in its need hierarchy(等级)than eating.”
Marc Bekoff, former biology professor at the University of Colorado, US, told Slate magazine, “I think the choices animals make in crossspecies relationships are the same as they'd make in samespecies relationships. Some dogs don't like every other dog. Animals are very selective about the other individuals who they let into their lives.”
5.What is the common opinion about the friendship between animals?
A.It's easier for dogs and cats to become friends.
B.Animals tend to play with peers of the same species.
C.The friendship between animals is not solid and reliable.
D.It's common that animals of different species can become friends.
6. Why are Marina and Laura mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.To present a truth.
B.To explain a phenomenon.
C.To introduce the topic.
D.To provide a proof.
7.What's the key factor of the animals' friendship in the zoo according to Gordon Burghardt?
A.The existing tradition.
B.The influence by mates.
C.The animals' inner social drive.
D.The animals' raisers' instruction.
8.What's the purpose of the passage?
A.To appeal to people to treasure animals.
B.To inform readers of a special friendship.
C.To demonstrate the history of bringing up pets.
D.To compare friendship between crossspecies and samespecies.
[语篇解读] 本文为一篇说明文。介绍了动物之间的跨种族友谊的现象和原因。
5.B [细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Many people might wonder if this dog has a death wish, but it seems that the dog and the big cats are good friends.(很多人可能会想这只狗是不是想死,但看起来这只狗和大型猫科动物是好朋友。)”和第二段“As opposed to the common belief, crossspecies friendship has been around for centuries.(与人们普遍认为的不同,跨物种的友谊已经存在了几个世纪。)”可知,人们普遍认为,动物之间跨越种族之间的友谊是不存在的,即动物们更倾向于和同类的动物玩耍。]
6.D [推理判断题。根据文章第三段“There are many other instances of crossspecies friendships.(还有很多其它的跨物种友谊的例子。)”和第四段“At an animal sanctuary in Santiago, Chile, a jaguar named Marina and a deer named Laura formed a friendship after they both came to the park.(在智利圣地亚哥的一个动物保护区,一只名叫玛丽娜的美洲虎和一只名叫劳拉的鹿来到公园后建立了友谊。)”可知,文章第四段提及Marina and Laura是为了提供动物跨物种友谊的证据。]
7.C [细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段Gordon Burghardt的话“In this particular situation, the animal's motivation to engage socially and playfully may be higher in its need hierarchy than eating.(在这种特殊的情况下,动物参与社交和玩耍的动机可能比进食的需求层次更高。)”及本段关键句“One possible explanation for these friendships is the environment of the zoo. Animals don't hunt for their food and don't need to worry about marking their territory or looking for mates in the way an animal in the wild would.(对这些友谊的一个可能的解释是动物园的环境。动物不猎食,也不需要像野生动物那样为划定领地或寻找配偶而烦恼。)”可知,从Gordon Burghardt的观点来看,动物的内在社交驱动力是动物园中动物友谊的关键因素。]
8.B [推理判断题。根据文章第三段“There are many other instances of crossspecies friendships.(还有很多其它的跨物种友谊的例子。)”及全文内容可知,本文介绍了动物间的一种特殊的跨种族友谊。]

话题:电子书与传统书籍的特点
(2024·山东潍坊模拟)Studies have shown that students attain more information when reading a hardcopy book compared to reading on a digital device. __1__ And students navigated traditional books more easily, as teachers there put it. Although ebooks offer various navigation tools, physical books' ease of use is irreplaceable. Turning pages is still the best way to read.
Fans of digital books may point out that ereaders have a handy “search” tool. Oldfashioned books also have a search function, in which you turn back to the opening chapter to remind yourself of the hero's surname. They even have a “bookmark system”, which uses a device called a “bookmark”. __2__ By simply turning the page, you can see new information.
Electronic books offer footnote capabilities, but so do traditional books. Using a “pencil” — a favorite tool of schoolkids worldwide — you can mark important passages. This allows you to highlight significant quotes or add your own insights. The absence of a builtin pencil doesn't mean you can't footnote a printed book. __3__ You can use a highlighter, write in the margin (页边), or—if you're feeling really adventurous—use a ruler to create your own “book edge” notes.
__4__ Rarely do we get the same “new book smell” from an ereader as we do from a freshly printed book. The concrete experience of physically turning pages and feeling the weight of a book in your hands cannot be matched by an ereader. Actually they make excellent companions during leisure break.
In conclusion, printed books have triumphed over ebooks because they offer an unparalleled reading experience. The ease of use, the emotional connection, and the ability to footnote all contribute to making printed books the preferred choice for many readers. __5__
A.You need to be more creative.
B.You can use smart tools as you like.
C.There's still no substitute for the traditional book.
D.Traditional books also excel at stirring up feelings.
E.In response, one school in Australia abandoned its ereaders entirely.
F.Furthermore, the ability to dogear pages is a bonus of physical books.
G.A “progress bar” indicates what percentage of the ebook has been read.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。文章主要比较了电子书和传统书籍的特点和传统书籍的优点。
1.E [根据上文“Studies have shown that students attain more information when reading a hardcopy book compared to reading on a digital device.(研究表明,与在电子设备上阅读相比,学生在阅读纸质书时获得的信息更多。)”以及后文“And students navigated traditional books more easily, as teachers there put it. Although ebooks offer various navigation tools, physical books' ease of use is irreplaceable. Turning pages is still the best way to read.(正如那里的老师所说,学生们更容易驾驭传统书籍。虽然电子书提供了多种导航工具,但实体书的易用性是不可替代的。翻页仍然是最好的阅读方式。)”可知,后文提到了那里的老师。由此可知,本句提到了某个地点对于电子阅读器采取的措施。故E选项“作为回应,澳大利亚的一所学校完全放弃了电子阅读器。”符合语境。]
2.F [根据上文“Fans of digital books may point out that ereaders have a handy ‘search’ tool. Oldfashioned books also have a search function, in which you turn back to the opening chapter to remind yourself of the hero's surname. They even have a ‘bookmark system’, which uses a device called a ‘bookmark’.(电子书爱好者可能会指出,电子阅读器有一个方便的‘搜索’工具,老式的书籍也有搜索功能,你可以翻到开头一章来提醒自己主人公的姓氏。他们甚至有一个‘书签系统’,使用一种叫做‘书签’的设备。)”以及后文“By simply turning the page, you can see new information.(只要翻一页,你就能看到新的信息。)”可知,本句是对上文的补充说明,说明实体书的使用特性,故F选项“此外,折页的能力是实体书的额外好处”符合语境。]
3.A [根据上文“The absence of a builtin pencil doesn't mean you can't footnote a printed book.(没有内置铅笔并不意味着你不能在印刷书籍上做脚注。)”以及后文“You can use a highlighter, write in the margin (页边), or-if you're feeling really adventurous-use a ruler to create your own ‘book edge’ notes.(你可以用荧光笔,在页边空白处写,或者——如果你真的想冒险——用尺子做你自己的‘书边’笔记。)”可知,后文提到了做自己的“书边”笔记,即发挥创造力,故A选项“你需要更有创造力。”符合语境。]
4.D [根据本段内容“Rarely do we get the same ‘new book smell’ from an ereader as we do from a freshly printed book. The concrete experience of physically turning pages and feeling the weight of a book in your hands cannot be matched by an ereader. Actually they make excellent companions during leisure break.(我们很少能从电子阅读器上得到与新印刷的书相同的‘新书味’。实际翻页的具体体验,以及在手中感受书的重量,是电子阅读器无法比拟的。事实上,他们是休闲休息时的好伙伴。)”可知,本段的主旨是实体书带给了读者嗅觉和触感,即情感方面的影响。故D选项“传统书籍也擅长激发情感。”符合语境。]
5.C [根据上文“In conclusion, printed books have triumphed over ebooks because they offer an unparalleled reading experience. The ease of use, the emotional connection, and the ability to footnote all contribute to making printed books the preferred choice for many readers.(总之,纸质书战胜了电子书,因此它们提供了无与伦比的阅读体验。易用性、情感联系和脚注功能都使纸质书成为许多读者的首选。)”可知,本段为总结段落,概括实体书相较于电子书的优点,最后指出传统书籍不可替代。故C选项“仍然没有什么东西可以代替传统的书籍。”符合语境。]
