Ⅳ.阅读理解
2023·历城第二中学高一检测In this modern age, most of us have forgotten to be patient and get angry very quickly over minor things like a traffic jam, a baby crying and such things. It often seems so easy to get what we want right away that when we have to wait even a little while, it seems like we are waiting for ages. We used to be happy to wait 10-15 minutes that it took to reheat food in the microwave (微波炉), but now
we're impatient when waiting two minutes that it takes in the microwave.
With the convenience provided by modern society, is patience still a virtue in the fastpaced world? To begin with, I'd like to share the meaning of the word “patience”. Generally it means being able to tolerate delay without getting impatient. However, it isn't necessarily a passive activity. It takes an active commitment, knowing when to take action and when not to.
So I would argue that patience is still—and always—a virtue. Sure. I used to be one of those who often stared at the microwave for the full two
minutes that it took to heat my food. And in the end, the food tasted bad. If I had had the patience to heat the food properly in the microwave, I would have enjoyed a delicious meal.
Actually the benefits of patience go beyond just heating up our food. Patience is an exercise in selfcontrol which shows that we can handle life problems when things get tough, and that we can exercise good judgement. Lack of patience can cause us to make wrong decisions that negatively affect our health and happiness, waste our time, put us under a lot of stress and affect our relationships in a very negative way.
Everything in life happens for a reason. Sometimes we face an obstacle(障碍) because we need to grow in ways we didn't realise. It's not always obvious when that was happening, but with patience we will soon see clearly why it happened and what we were meant to learn from it.
Taking time to think about our actions and being patient are a small price to pay when we determine the best possible solution to any problems.
( )1.The author uses the example of reheating food to show that________.
A.people have no time to enjoy the meal
B.high technology brings more benefits
C.more people lack patience now
D.the fastpaced life makes people stressed
C
( )2.What could be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.People under stress tend to get angry.
B.Patient people are more likely to make better decisions.
C.People with selfcontrol are easier to succeed.
D.Patient people are unlikely to make mistakes.
B
( )3.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5?
A.A wise man learns from experience.
B.A brave man is not afraid of challenges.
C.A man should find out reasons for what happened.
D.A man should be patient to deal with difficulties.
【文本大意】在现代社会中,很多人缺乏耐心。作者认为有耐心仍然是一种美德,是处理问题和作出正确决定必备的品德。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“In this modern age, most of us
D
have forgotten to be patient and get angry very quickly over minor things like a traffic jam, a baby crying and such things.”可知,在现在社会,我们中的大多数人都忘记了耐心,并很容易因为小事而生气,下文举例“We used to be happy to wait 10—15 minutes that it took to reheat food in the microwave(微波炉), but now we're impatient when waiting two minutes that it takes in the microwave.”来表明现在更多人缺乏耐心。故选C。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Patience is an exercise in selfcontrol which shows ... that we can exercise good judgement. Lack of
patience can cause us to make wrong decisions”可推断出,有耐心的人往往会作出更好的决定。故选B。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知,有时我们面临障碍,因为我们需要以我们没有意识到的方式成长。当这种情况发生时并不总是显而易见的,但有了耐心,我们很快就会明白为什么会发生这种情况,以及我们应该从中学到什么。由此可推断出,一个人应该耐心地处理困难。故选D。

Kindness is important because if everyone is kind, the whole world will be harmonious and 10.____________(benefit) to everyone.
【文本大意】本文主要介绍了善良是一种与生俱来的品质以及它的重要性。
1.a 考查冠词。此处为固定短语a type of,意为“一种……”。故填a。
have stressed
beneficial
2.expecting 考查非谓语动词。介词without后接动名词作宾语。故填expecting。
3.as 考查介词。此处为动词短语define sth as…意为“将……定义为……”。故填as。
4.but 考查连词。此处用连词but构成not … but …,意为“不是……而是……”,此处表示“亚里士多德将善良定义为‘对需要帮助的人的帮助,不是为了回报任何东西,也不是为了帮助者自己的利益,而是为了被帮助的人的利益’”。故填but。
5.Based 考查非谓语动词。此处为非谓语动词作状语,动词base和逻辑主语some studies之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词形式。位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Based。
6.that 考查宾语从句。此处为连接代词that引导的宾语从句,that在从句中不作成分,无实际意义。故填that。
7.studies 考查名词的数。由空前some以及形容词similar可知,此处用名词的复数形式,作宾语。故填studies。
8.to find 考查非谓语动词。研究人员还进行了其他一些类似的研究,探讨在生命最初的几个月里同理心发展的根源,目的是找出孩子们对
处于困境的同龄人容易表现出的关心。此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to find。

Ⅶ.应用文写作

注意:1.写作词数应为80左右;
2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
参考词汇:《伊索寓言》Aesop's Fables

One possible version:
There's a small story from Aesop's Fables,
whose name is The Fox and the Grapes.What the story tells us is as
follows:
On a hot summer day,there was an extremely thirsty fox who
suddenly saw a lot of grapes in the garden.He wanted to pick them
to eat, so he jumped up again and again, but never succeeded.

____________________________________
At last, he decided to give up and walked away. And as he was
walking away he still comforted himself, “These grapes must be
sour!” It is very clear that he was looking for an excuse for his
not being able to pick them.
After reading the fable, I realise that when we are facing
problems, we should not avoid them. Instead,we should face our
problems bravely and find solutions.
_______________________________________________________________

Only in this way can we succeed some day. Otherwise, we may also
become the fox.
