限时规范练(十三)　UNIT 2　MORALS AND VIRTUES (限时30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·江西丰城中学模拟)Eight years ago，Nixon decided to begin each day from a bench with a spectacular view of St. Petersburg's waterfront in Florida.“I call it ‘life rising’ because watching a sunrise makes me feel positive and centered before I start my day，”says Nixon，who works for the city's water department. It is Nixon's own version of daily motivation. A year later，a woman stopped to say hello，and she said something that changed his perspective on his daily ritual. She said，“You know，every morning when I see you sitting here，I know that everything is going to be OK.”Nixon recalls，“That was when I knew: I needed to pay attention to the people walking past. I needed to make eye contact and let people know that we matter to each other.” Instead of staring straight ahead at the waterfront，Nixon started smiling at people and striking up conversations. And pretty soon，more than a few early risers began joining him on the bench，sometimes unburdening themselves and telling him their relationships，careers or personal problems.“I was happy to listen. I wanted them to walk away knowing they didn't have to feel lonely，” Nixon says.“When you're in your 50 and 60s or beyond，a lot of people feel their purpose hasn't been fulfilled. At this stage in life，this is definitely my purpose.” So，every morning，weather permitting，Nixon rises at 4：30 a. m. He puts on a hat，sips a cup of coffee，and then drives seven miles to the waterfront，where he'll stay for two hours. His presence，his openness to listen and his kindness towards strangers have led them to nickname him the Sunshine Mayor. No matter what problem a person wants to air，Nixon lends an ear. But some people just sit down and don't want to talk or share stories. They simply want to sit next to someone and share the silence.“A woman stopped once and said，‘I just want to sit here with you.’”Nixon recalls.“We stared at the water for an hour，and then she said thank you and walked away. She just wanted a moment of peace and to know she wasn't alone. And in that moment，in that hour，on that morning，she truly wasn't.” 1．Why did Nixon decide to begin his day from the bench eight years ago? A．To develop a habit. B．To seek mental power. C．To enjoy seaside views. D．To interact with strangers. 2．How might Nixon feel after hearing the woman's words in Paragraph 2? A．Inspired. B．Relaxed. C．Touched. D．Worried. 3．What does Nixon's nickname the Sunshine Mayor imply? A．He is laughed at by others. B．He is a responsible official. C．He warms strangers' hearts. D．He likes sunny days particularly. 4．What can be learned from the last paragraph? A．One has to learn to listen. B．Not everyone is a good storyteller. C．It's not easy to fulfill different needs. D．Silent company matters to some people. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了尼克松善于倾听他人心声的故事，他给很多人带来慰藉。 1．B　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，尼克松这样做是为了寻找精神力量。故选 B。 2．A　[解析]推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知，女士所说的话改变了尼克松的观点。故可推知，他当时应该是很受启发的。 3．C　[解析]推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段中的“His presence，his openness to listen and his kindness towards strangers have led them to nickname him the Sunshine Mayor.”可知，Nixon 温暖了陌生人的心，所以得到这个昵称。 4．D　[解析]细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容可知，对一些人来说，安静的陪伴反而能给他们带来慰藉。 B (2024·江苏东台中学高三模拟)The twenty­three­year­old Mumbai girl Vidhi Bubna is offering India's first and only diving grant to explore the marine ecosystem. Vidhi's first diving experience turned out to be a heartbreaking one. While she expected a lot of colors underwater as she had seen on TV，Vidhi came across all white corals (珊瑚)，which means they are almost dead from being bleached (褪色). “It was very sad and I just started crying after coming out of the water，” she says. Vidhi，an economics graduate from Ashoka University，did not enjoy working with numbers and turned to writing about social issues，including women's rights and minority issues. As an adventure lover，Vidhi went diving to explore the underwater beauty last year. Her disappointment at seeing dying corals led to the start of Coral Warriors，a non­profit organisation that aims to raise awareness of marine protection and climate change. “Nobody knows about climate change till they see it，” Vidhi says. The Mumbai­based organisation offers India's first and only diving grant. The grant sponsors level­one scuba diving education in any location of their choice in India. While there is no specific standard，Vidhi says the selection process is strict，choosing candidates who are passionate about climate change and seeing that they do something of their choice. Four candidates have been awarded the grant so far and the organisation hopes to find at least five people every year. “After the candidates return，we expect them to work on a climate change project of their choice，create communities，and work to create awareness and drive action­centric projects，” she explains. Prior to starting Coral Warriors，Vidhi was hosting free online workshops to spread awareness of marine biodiversity and climate change，and has reached about 5，000 people through them. As a next step，Vidhi is planning to work on documentaries with high­quality underwater images and videos，considering not many can afford or have the courage to go diving to see what is happening underwater. 5．How did Vidhi feel on her first diving? A．Excited. B．Upset. C．Awesome. D．Awkward. 6．Why did Vidhi set up Coral Warriors? A．To focus more attention on social issues. B．To further explore the underwater beauty. C．To fuel people's enthusiasm for adventure. D．To make an appeal for marine conservation. 7．What are candidates expected to do? A．To help promote people's sense of community. B．To choose whatever they are passionate about. C．To meet specific and strict selection standards. D．To undertake activities relevant to climate change. 8．What will Vidhi do to protect marine biodiversity? A．Shoot documentaries. B．Tackle climate change. C．Encourage people to dive. D．Host free online workshops. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了23岁的孟买女孩Vidhi Bubna被提供印度首个也是唯一一个潜水补助金，用以探索海洋生态系统。 5．B　[解析]细节理解题。由第二段中的“Vidhi's first diving experience turned out to be a heartbreaking one.”和第三段中的It was very sad and I just started crying after coming out of the water可知，Vidhi的第一次潜水经历让她沮丧。故选B。 6．D　[解析]细节理解题。由第五段中的“Her disappointment at seeing dying corals led to the start of Coral Warriors，a non­profit organisation that aims to raise awareness of marine protection and climate change.”可知，Vidhi设立“珊瑚战士”组织是为了呼吁人们重视海洋保护。故选D。 7．D　[解析]细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的“After the candidates return，we expect them to work on a climate change project of their choice，create communities，and work to create awareness and drive action­centric projects ”可知，候选人被期盼着参与气候变化相关的活动。故选D。 8．A　[解析]细节理解题。由最后一段可知，考虑到没有多少人能负担得起或有勇气去潜水，Vidhi计划制作高质量的水下图像和视频的纪录片。由此可知，Vidhi将通过拍摄纪录片来保护海洋生物多样性。故选A。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·河北石家庄高三联考)Pharez，a former student of mine，is now a teacher at my high school.
