Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·广州模拟)One part of the oath (誓言) taken by physicians requires us to “remember that there is art to medicine, and that warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.” When I, along with my medical school class, recited that oath at my white coat ceremony a year ago, I admit that I was more focused on the biomedical aspects than the “art”.
Actually, medical professionals can get too easily caught up in treating to remember there is still space for healing.As doctors learn to communicate with patients beyond the restricted language of physical indicators, drug protocols and surgical interventions that may go against healing, they are reaching for new tools — poetry.
One clinical trial studied the effect of music or poetry on the pain, depression, and hope scores of 65 adult patients under cancer treatment.They found that both types of art therapy (疗法) produced similar improvements in pain and depression scores.Only poetry, however, increased hope scores.Researchers assumed that poetry can break the so-called law of silence, according to which talking about one's perception of illness is taboo.After listening to poetry, one participant said, “I feel calmer when I hear those words.They show me that I'm not alone.”
Insights like these are already making their way into the clinic.Sarah Friebert runs a care center where children are visited by a writer who helps them create poems and stories for publication.Eric Elshtain uses poetry on the wards to teach children the power of self-expression.He's found that many of his patients write haikus about things like sports or their favorite stuffed animal, rather than their experience in a hospital bed.Poetry, as he said, is a way to both accept the hospital encounter and escape from it.
While a poem a day won't cure, it might help relieve.I've decided that I'll learn how to meet my patients beyond the chart documents; that I'll encourage them to write their own stories; that I will heal as well as treat.In other words, I'll honor each and every word in the oath I took last year.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者自身的经历说明诗歌在治疗疾病的过程中起着重要作用。
1.According to the text, what is the author probably?
A.A young poet. B.A clinical expert.
C.A medical student. D.An experienced physician.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第一句以及后文的“When I, along with my medical school class, recited that oath at my white coat ceremony a year ago”可知,作者的身份是一名学医的学生。
√
2.What insight can we gain from the clinical trial in Paragraph 3?
A.Music works better in reducing depression.
B.Poetry makes people open about their illness.
C.Patients are likely to lose hope without poems.
D.Art therapy is the key to cancer treatment.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第二、三句可知,在临床试验的研究中,诗歌对于疼痛和抑郁有着改善作用,即诗歌能使人们对自己的疾病敞开心扉。
3.What can we infer about the author according to the last paragraph?
A.He will change his career path.
B.He will well remember the oath.
C.He begins to take his work seriously.

√
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,刚毕业时,作者并不认为自己的工作与艺术有什么关系;根据最后一段中“While a poem a day won't cure, it might help relieve.”可知,后来作者通过临床的实验以及研究最终明白了诗歌有助于缓解压力,艺术与医学是相关的,即作者对自己的工作有了更深入的了解。
4.Where is the text taken from?
A.A news report. B.A research paper.

(2024·深圳调研)From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family's time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell's laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family.This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic (怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.”
Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family's five-year stay in Corfu.He is the 10-year-old Gerry in the book — curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.
Durrell's attention to detail is what makes the book so attractive, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life.One minute you'll be laughing as Larry's clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, and the next minute you'll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea:“Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.
As a real delight to read, it's the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.
语篇解读:本文是一篇书评。文章主要向读者推荐了英国作家Gerald Durrell的作品《我的家人和其他动物》,并介绍了其内容、写作风格等。
5.Which word best describes Durrell's life in Corfu?
A.Risky. B.Busy.
C.Tough. D.Diverse.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“From cottages surrounded ... filled with wildlife”可知,书中记录了被花园包围的小屋、沙滩、充满野生生物的树林深处。据此可以推断,Durrell在科孚岛的生活丰富多彩。
6.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.I introduced my family by mistake.
B.I shouldn't have introduced my family.
C.I couldn't help introducing my family.
D.I gave wrong information about my family.
√
解析:句意理解题。 结合画线句前面的“was intended to be a nostalgic account of natural history”可知,Durrell的原计划是记录自然历史,实际情况却是写了家人;根据画线句前面的“Durrell wrote humorously”可知,画线句的意思并非其字面意思。因此,Durrell在前面几页描写家人应是故意而为之,故C项与画线句的意义最为接近。
7.What are Paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about?
A.The book's writing feature.
B.Durrell's rich imagination.
C.Some interesting plots of the book.
D.Some vivid descriptions of the island.
√
解析:段落大意题。根据第四段中的“Durrell's attention to detail is what makes the book so attractive”和第五段中的“being one part travel ... with a thread of descriptive language”可知,第四、五段主要讲的是这本书的写作特点。
8.What is the purpose of this text?
A.To share an experience.
B.To recommend a book.
C.To introduce a writing style.
D.To describe an unusual place.
解析:写作意图题。根据本文内容,尤其是最后一段可知,本文的写作目的是向读者推荐《我的家人和其他动物》这本书。
√
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
In China, poetry is an important part of the curriculum and, with recent changes announced by the Ministry of Education, the number of poems students will have to memorize and recite is being increased from fourteen to seventy-two.Now, before you gasp in horror, let's think about the reasons why studying so many poems, especially ancient poems, is important.
First of all, poetry is an essential part of traditional Chinese culture. 9 It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and emotions that are common to everyone but which we may be unable to express — the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon, for example.Everyone has feelings of joy, love, loneliness, sadness and even anger. 10
11 In a few short lines, even something commonplace can become beautiful.Here is a poem called “Fog” by Carl Sandberg: The fog comes/on silent haunches (弓腰蹲着)/and then moves on.Yes, fog does move smoothly, silently and mysteriously like a cat, and Sandberg captures that feeling and image, and makes it beautiful.
12 After all, a poem is really just a song without music.Most ancient poetry, especially Western poetry, was actually spoken before it was written.Take Homer's Iliad, for example.The story was apparently told for hundreds of years in palaces and on street corners before Homer wrote it down.
The American poet Robert Frost said, “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” And poems are very concise — there is not a wasted word. 13
A.Poetry is difficult to recite.
B.Poems can also express beauty.
C.Few people read it for pleasure.
D.It is a pathway to understanding your history and your society.
E.Of course, to really appreciate poetry, it has to be read aloud.
F.You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to learn!
G.A good poem can put those emotions into words and bring us self-understanding.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了为什么学习中国诗歌特别是中国古典诗歌很重要。
9.解析:选D 设空句的下一句“It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and emotions ...”中的“also”提示上句与此句语义属于同类,句中的“understanding”是关键词,选项D中具有同样的关键词,故D项“这是了解你们的历史和社会的途径”衔接下文,符合语境。
10.解析:选G 设空句上一句“Everyone has feelings of joy, love, loneliness, sadness and even anger.”中“feelings”是关键词,选项G中的“emotions”是它的近义词,故选项G“一首好诗能把那些情感变成文字,带给我们对自我的认知”承接上文,符合语境。
11.解析:选B 设空句为段首句,总领全段。根据后文可知,本段的中心意思是诗歌赋予了平常事物美丽的意境,故选项B“诗歌也可以表达美”能概括本段主旨。
12.解析:选E 设空句为段首句,概括本段中心大意。根据后文可知,本段主要是讲诗歌就像是没有曲子的歌,先有了口口相传,才有了文字展现。故选项E“当然,要真正欣赏诗歌,必须大声朗读”能概括本段主旨。
13.解析:选F 设空句为文章的末句,总结全文。第一段提到:学生必须记忆和背诵的诗歌数量从十四首增加到七十二首。文章在介绍了学习诗歌为什么重要后,告诉读者,学习诗歌多多益善。故选项F“你很幸运,你现在有七十二首诗要学!”呼应开头并总结全文,符合语境。
