Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice, “Mom, come here! There's a lady here of my size!” The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize.I smiled and told her, “It's okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, I'm Angelina.How are you?” He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?” “Yes, I have a son,” I answered.“Why are you so little?” he asked.“It's the way I was born,” I said.“Some people are little.Some are tall.I'm just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy's hand and left.
My life as a little person is filled with stories like that.I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness.I stand three feet nine inches tall.I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒).Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
I didn't realize how short I was until I started school.Some kids laughed at me, calling me names.Then I knew.I began to hate the first day of school each year.New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life.I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage.I used my personality to make up for what I lacked in height.
I'm 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I've grown older.People are amazed when they see me driving.I try to keep positive.When people are impolite, I remind myself, “Look what else I have — a great family and nice friends.”
It's the children's questions that make my life special.I enjoy answering their questions.My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers, whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者生下来就有侏儒症,从小个子就比别人矮,因此一直感受着周围人异样的目光,但是作者并没有自暴自弃,而是乐观地面对生活。
1.Why did the mother apologize to the author?
A.Because the boy studied the author from head to toe.
B.Because the boy made the author angry.
C.Because the boy said the author was shorter than him.
D.Because the mother thought the boy's words had hurt the author.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Mom, come here! There's a lady here of my size!(妈妈,来这里!这儿有一位女士,她和我一样的大小!)”可知,这个男孩说作者和他大小一样,也就是说作者长得矮,所以男孩的母亲认为他的话会伤害到作者,因此向作者道歉。
2.When did the author realize that she was too short?
A.When she grew up.
B.When she began to go to school.
C.When she was 47 years old.
D.When she met the boy in the supermarket.
解析:B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“I didn't realize how short I was until I started school.(直到我开始上学,我才意识到自己有多矮。)”可知,当作者开始上学时,她才意识到她太矮小了。
3.Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word “diminished”?
A.Doubted. B.Decreased.
C.Remained. D.Improved.
解析:B 词义猜测题。根据“I'm 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I've grown older.People are amazed when they see me driving.”可知现在人们仍然用异样的眼光看待作者。再结合上文提到的人们对作者的态度可知此处是说作者虽然已经47岁了,但别人对作者异样的眼光并没有减少。由此推知,画线单词diminished意为“减少”。
4.What can we learn about the author according to the passage?
A.She doesn't feel herself different.
B.She complains about what she has.
C.She suffered lots of discrimination when growing up.
D.People are all impolite to her.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第一段讲的一个小孩说作者长得矮的故事和第二段中的“My life as a little person is filled with stories like that.”可知作者生活中经常遇到这种事,再结合第四段中的“Some kids laughed at me, calling me names.”和“New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.”以及第六段中的“I'm 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I've grown older.People are amazed when they see me driving.”可知作者在人生的不同阶段都受到了别人对自己身高的嘲笑。由此可知C项(成长过程中她遭到了许多歧视)符合文意。

(2024·山东德州模拟)Quite often, no matter how good you are, your success depends to some extent on how other people such as your boss, peers, clients and customers perceive your communication and responses.So when you come across people who make the key difference in helping you or holding you back, how can you influence and persuade them to give you what you want?
Psychological researches repeatedly show that people generally make up their minds on whether to help you based on whether they like you or not.It is human nature.What can you do about it? You need to make a good impression on others to ensure they like you and give you what you want.The findings again show that people give opportunities to the people they like best.In fact, most people make up their minds about other people in the first five minutes or less when meeting someone.These are called first impressions or “moments of truth”.
Once they make up their minds, they tend to be very reluctant to change their opinions.You hardly have room for error when making that first impression on a new acquaintance.Therefore, whether you are applying for a job, going for an interview, attending a meeting with your boss or peers, or serving a customer, you need to prepare yourself mentally and rehearse your management of the first few minutes of your interaction.This includes doing your homework to gather information and researching all possible issues so you will know how to address them,should the other party raise some unexpected questions.
It is amazing how poorly some people can come across at the beginning.The worst thing is that they do not even seem to realize it.Having good qualifications and excellent work performance do not excuse candidates from trying to make a good first impression.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了第一印象的重要性。
5.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Persuading people to like you.
B.People making the key difference.
C.Winning strategies for a job interview.
D.Making a good first impression.
解析:D 主旨大意题。文章主要讲了第一印象的重要性,它很大程度上决定了人们是否喜欢你、是否决定帮助你,结合第二段第四句“You need to make a good impression on others to ensure they like you and give you what you want.(你需要给别人留下好印象,以确保他们喜欢你,给你你想要的)”可知,这篇文章主要讲的是给人良好的第一印象。
6.Which is the way people tend to decide whether to like other people or not?
A.They make quick decisions.
B.They change their opinions frequently.
C.They prefer people who are experienced.
D.They pay much attention to good qualifications.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“In fact, most people make up their minds about other people in the first five minutes or less when meeting someone.(事实上,大多数人在和别人见面后的前五分钟甚至更短的时间内就对别人做出了判断)”可知,人们很快就会做出是否喜欢这个人的判断。故选A。
7.Which of the following strategies might help in an interview according to the passage?
A.Show your friendliness and confidence.
B.Ask the interviewers for homework to do.
C.Know as much as possible about the situation.
D.Do something unexpected to impress interviewers.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“This includes doing your homework to gather information and researching all possible issues so you will know how to address them, should the other party raise some unexpected questions.(这包括你要做功课来收集信息并研究所有可能出现的问题,这样,万一另一方提出一些出乎意料的问题,你就会知道如何解决)”可知,根据作者的观点,尽可能多地了解情况可能有助于面试。故选C。
8.What will probably be talked about in the next part of the passage?
A.Examples of how good first impressions help people succeed.
B.Some practical advice on helping make a good first impression.
C.Questions that might be asked by the interviewers.
D.How to win over people who don't like you at first.
解析:B 推理判断题。前文已经讲述了第一印象的重要性,结合文章最后一段的最后一句“Having good qualifications and excellent work performance do not excuse candidates from trying to make a good first impression.(即使有优秀的学历和杰出的工作表现,求职申请人也需要留下良好的第一印象)”可以推知,后文应该会更详细地介绍一些给别人留下良好的第一印象的做法。故选B。
