Ⅰ.阅读理解
An inspirational poem written by a 16yearold girl,Chanie Gorkin,went viral this week.The poem titled “Worst Day Ever?” was printed on a board in a North London bar when someone took a picture and posted it on Twitter.
“The coverage(新闻报道)has been overwhelming since then,” says Chanie's mother,Dena Gorkin,noting that her daughter is not the one looking for such attention.“But she is happy to have inspired so many people.”
For Chanie,an 11thgrade student at Beth Rivkah High School in Brooklyn,N.Y.,the story began in November when a teacher assigned her to write an essay on the theme of “Worst Day Ever”.Chanie had been writing creatively for a few years,so she turned the assignment over literally and wrote a poem that could be read forward,but its true message could be revealed only when read backward:
Worst Day Ever?
Today was the absolutely worst day ever
And don't try to convince me that
There's something good in every day
Because,when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don't last.
...
Today was a very good day
A few days later,Dena,herself a principal at the Bnos Chomesh Girls High School in Crown Heights,shared her daughter's poem with a student who was having a bad day.“My student read it and was blown away ,” she relates.“I was relieved to see him leave happily.”
“I think Chanie's poem has become popular because there's some darkness in this world,and something uplifting like this really resonates (产生共鸣),” says her mother.“Words from the heart enter the heart.I think Chanie's sincerity can be felt in her words.”

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇新闻报道,介绍了在西班牙巴塞罗那举行的世界移动通信大会上,中国科技企业的创新成果大放异彩,特别是华为公司推出的全球首款5G可折叠智能手机备受瞩目。
1.hoping 考查非谓语动词。句意:在西班牙巴塞罗那举行的世界移动通信大会上,中国科技公司备受瞩目,它们展示了5G手机和创意解决方案,希望将中国的创新带到世界舞台上。分析句子结构可知此处使用非谓语动词,they与hope之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,表示主动,用现在分词作状语,故填hoping。
2.was estimated 考查固定句式和时态。句意:据估计,来自200多个国家和地区的2400多家公司参加了本届大会,其中360多家来自中国。it is estimated that表示“据估计”,文章第一句话中的“caught”表明陈述的是过去的事情,应该用一般过去时,故填was estimated。
3.which 考查非限制性定语从句。句意同上,此处为非限制性定语从句,关系词指代先行词more than 2400 companies(指物),并在从句中作介词of的宾语,故填which。
4.had launched 考查时态。句意:华为技术有限公司在全球最大的电信行业大会召开前推出了首款5G可折叠智能手机。根据语境可知“推出首款5G可折叠智能手机”发生在“巴塞罗那世界移动通信大会召开”之前,也就是过去的过去,应该用过去完成时,故填had launched。
5.largest 考查形容词最高级。句意同上,根据句意并结合语境可知,世界移动通信大会是全球最大的电信行业大会,应该用形容词最高级修饰,故填largest。
6.challenging 考查形容词。句意:该公司花了三年多的时间来完善可折叠手机的合叶,这是最具挑战性的技术部件。修饰名词technical component用形容词,此处用的是最高级形式the most challenging,故填challenging。
7.to open 考查非谓语动词。句意:该公司将5G、可折叠屏幕、人工智能和全新界面结合在一起,希望Mate X将成为消费者打开5G智能生活大门的第一把钥匙。当被修饰词前有序数词修饰时,常用不定式作后置定语,故填to open。
8.with 考查介词。句意:Mate X相当令人印象深刻,其音效设计展示了华为领先于竞争对手的技术突破。分析句子结构可知此处需要填介词,根据句意可知此处表示“具有”,故填with。
9.competitors 考查名词的数。句意同上,作介词against的宾语用名词,根据句意可知此处表示“竞争对手”,competitor是可数名词,此处表示不止一个对手,应该用复数形式,故填competitors。
10.however 考查副词。句意:然而,对于大多数消费者来说,要买到这款5G可折叠智能手机还需要一些时间。根据句意可知“华为推出了全球首款5G可折叠智能手机”与“消费者要买到这款手机还需要一些时间”之间是转折关系,空后有逗号,故填however。

(2022·娄底高二期中)A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day.As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank,he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car.He tried again and again but couldn't get the car moving.Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried.Arthur stopped and asked,“It looks like you've got a problem,” Arthur said.
“I'm afraid so.I'm in a big hurry and I can't start my car.”
“Is there something I can do to help?” Arthur asked.The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said,“Thanks.If you're sure it wouldn't be too much trouble,you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi.”
“No trouble at all.I'd be glad to help.”
The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat.After placing it on the ground,he turned to get the other one.Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking,he heard the long loud noise of an alarm.
It was from the bank.There had been a robbery(抢劫)!
Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before.Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions.Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank.People asked each other,“What happened?” But everyone had a different answer.
Arthur,still carrying the suitcase,turned to look at the bank and walked right into the young woman in front of him.
She looked at the suitcase and then at him.Arthur was surprised.“Why is she looking at me like that?” He thought.“The suitcase! She thinks I'm the bank thief!”
Arthur looked around at the crowd of people.He became frightened,and without another thought,he started to run.
As he was running,Arthur heard the young man shouting behind,“Stop,stop!”
The taxi stopped in front of the Police Station and Arthur
One possible version:
As he was running,Arthur heard the young man shouting behind,“Stop,stop!” Arthur immediately realized that the young man was the bank robber.So Arthur didn't stop,but continued to run until he saw and caught a taxi in front of him.He quickly put the suitcase in the car and said to the driver,“Please hurry to the Police Station.I have a case to report to the police: the man shouting behind is the bank thief!” The taxi raced away to the Police Station like an arrow.
The taxi stopped in front of the Police Station and Arthur said to the police who had been waiting and who had already received the robbery report,“This suitcase is that of the bank robber.He may be fleeing with the money stolen from the bank.I hand it to you.Please get ready to arrest the man.”
