课时梯级训练(八)　Section Ⅳ　Writing Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2024·郑州高二检测)Jill Wheatley was a PE teacher in Germany.On the weekends she competed in marathons around Europe.But life threw her a near deadly blow.While teaching a PE class，she was hit in the head with a baseball.The impact was so great that it left her with a brain injury and 70 percent vision loss，permanently blinding her in one eye.She spent 26 months in seven different hospitals，at times wishing it would just all end. Desperately，Wheatley set out to find comfort and healing in nature.She travelled to Nepal where a friend convinced her to run in the Annapurna 100 with him.The power from that race changed her life and eventually had her looking up at the tops of the mountains.Project Vision 8，000 was born.And she began her mission to stand on top of the world's 14 highest mountains，towering 8，000 metres above sea level，to show herself and others the power in choice and possibility. Colours，and touch help guide her on the mountain and she has never once felt too tired to carry on.“The only thing constant is change，so when the weather gets really bad or a storm is coming in，I know it is going to pass.”So far，she's had few problems standing among giants，but she admits she continues to struggle with overcoming：the “mountains of her mind”．Having already stared death in the face，Wheatley has great respect for the mountains and the mission she is on.But she's not scared.The experience almost claimed her life，but it is now the driving force and fuel behind her success.At every icy peak，she smiles and takes a quick video with a breathless “so very thankful” whispered into the thin air. 1．What happened to Wheatley according to Paragraph 1? A．She came last in a race. B．She suffered head injury. C．She lost her sight completely. D．She was attacked in a class. 2．What drove Wheatley to launch Project Vision 8，000?

D．Her nature helped her overcome fear. 4．What could be the best title for the text?

There were no societal role models to inspire girls to reach for the stars.Luckily，her parents were teachers and struggled to raise enough money to pay for their children's school fees. Her parents would go to town to get their pay checks，but eat nothing before coming back in the evening，hungry and tired.She knew that they were able to buy food in town，but they chose not to spend money on themselves so that Esther and her brothers and sisters could go to school. 2. It inspired her to pursue her academic career goals and fight against challenges however tough they seemed. 3． She went through high school and eventually college and attained a Bachelor and Master of Science at Kenyatta University.On a beautiful summer day of August 6，2011，she attained what at times seemed to be an unrealistic dream：a PhD in Entomology from Auburn University.4. She cried on her graduation day as she thought of her community in Kenya and many girls in her community.5. It was during that day that she told herself she would do everything she needed to do，and give the girls more opportunities to break down the poverty barrier，be educated，and achieve great things. She has devoted all of her passion，efforts，heart and resources to bringing sustainable change in her community and she has become a role model for girls in her community.

F．They had the potential to be a scientist too，but just lacked the opportunity. G．She studied hard and gained a lot，hoping she'd help her family and community. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了肯尼亚女孩Esther Ngumbi在艰苦的条件下努力获得了奥本大学昆虫学博士学位，并全心投入到为她的社区带来可持续的变化中，成为社区女孩的榜样的故事。 1．B　[解析]根据空后“There were no societal role models to inspire girls to reach for the stars.(没有任何社会榜样可以激励女孩去实现宏大目标。)”可知，这里不重视让女孩接受教育，B项“在这里对女孩的教育并不看重。”符合语境。故选B。 2．A　[解析]根据空前内容“She knew that they were able to buy food in town，but they chose not to spend money on themselves so that Esther and her brothers and sisters could go to school.(她知道他们有能力在城里买食物，但他们选择不把钱花在自己身上，这样Esther和她的兄弟姐妹就可以上学了。)”及空后“It inspired her to pursue her academic career goals and fight against challenges however tough they seemed.(它激励她追求自己的学术生涯目标，并与看似艰难的挑战作斗争。)”可知，上文Esther父母的行为对Esther产生了很大影响，A项“这样的做法对她产生了极大的影响。”符合语境。故选A。 3．G　[解析]空后“She went through high school and eventually college and attained a Bachelor and Master of Science at Kenyatta University.”提到她读完了高中，最终上了大学，并在肯雅塔大学获得了理学学士和硕士学位。由此可推断，G项“她努力学习并收获了很多，希望可以帮助她的家庭和家乡。”符合语境。故选G。 4．D　[解析]根据空前“On a beautiful summer day of August 6，2011，she attained what at times seemed to be an unrealistic dream：a PhD in Entomology from Auburn University.”可知，Esther获得了奥本大学昆虫学博士学位，D项“她成为家乡第一个获得博士学位的女性。”承接上文，符合语境。故选D。 5．F　[解析]空前“She cried on her graduation day as she thought of her community in Kenya and many girls in her community.”提到毕业那天她想到在肯尼亚的家乡和家乡里的许多女孩时，她哭了，空处应是解释原因，F项“她们也同样有潜力成为科学家，只是缺少机会。”符合语境，F项中的They指代上文的many girls，故选F。 Ⅲ.应用文写作 今年五月十二日是母亲节，你为妈妈动手做(DIY)了一份礼物。请写一篇文章记录此事，内容包括： 1．DIY的物品； 2．DIY的过程； 3．你的感受。 注意： 1．词数80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Mother's Day falls on May 12th this year.

Ⅳ.读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 There is no school equal to a decent(体面的) home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent. There are two typical examples：Edison's mother and our mother.As you all know，Thomas Edison is one of the most outstanding scientists and inventors in the world.Unbelievably，young Tom was in school for only three months.It is said that he liked to ask strange questions，many of which have nothing to do with learning.His teacher didn't understand why he had so many strange questions.He didn't want to teach Tom any more.He asked Tom's mother to take the boy home.Tom's mother taught him to read and write，and she found him to be a very good pupil.He learned very fast and became very interested in science.It was she who played an important role in Edison's growth.Although we can't compare with Edison，our mother played a more important role in our growth than his mother.Our dad was an English teacher who taught high school students.For many years，he had been cautious and conscientious(认真的) towards work.Mom stayed home and homeschooled their four children.Three of us had no trouble in learning but my sister Catherine still could not read by fifth grade，and worse still，did not even know the alphabet(字母表). My mother did some research and found that Catherine had some sort of learning disability.She sent Catherine to a public school to get some help.Catherine made many friends at school and amazed everyone with her gift for telling creative stories in class，but she still couldn't master reading skills.After all the testing was done，the school had my parents come in.They were told that based on the test results，they should just take Catherine home，which was very similar to Edison's experience.However，the biggest difference is that Edison was not stupid，and my sister really had learning disabilities. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： Tears of sadness ran down my dad's cheeks. Paragraph 2： In time，Catherine got it. [参考范文] Paragraph 1： Tears of sadness ran down my dad's cheeks. However，my mom's jaw was set in quiet determination.As they walked back to the car，she turned to him and said，“I know she's not stupid.”Soon after，my mom discovered a learning system that focused heavily on lesson repetition and building slowly on the previous exercises.She worked with Catherine for four hours every morning while the rest of us studied on our own.It was hard for both of them，but she often told crying Catherine，“Failure is not an option.You are going to learn to read，and we'll both try! You have to learn to read! You will learn to read.” Paragraph 2： In time，Catherine got it. By the time she graduated from eighth grade，she was reading almost at grade level.She continued improving and was reading above grade level when she graduated from high school.Catherine came to love reading and writing.She became a very famous writer.A number of wonderful novels were published all over the country.Many of her major works were popular with the public and some books were translated into other languages.All of this was because of a wonderfully devoted mother who was absolutely the best teacher ever—for all four of us. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
