I was something of a football player, but I had never been a good player, far less a great one. I played for the mere physical joy that I got out of the game, but I played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The result was that, though I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college team. Let me confess frankly that this was only because there was another player in the same position who happened to be much better than me. I considered myself the better sportsman, but he was certainly the greater player. So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time. And at last my patience was rewarded. It was for me a very special day. Our team had shot up into the final and was meeting its rival (竞争对手). Our star-player sent word at the last moment that he was ill and he could not take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The thought was that the game was as good as lost, and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our trump card (王牌): That is what everybody always said. However, something had to be done, and that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost apologetically for having failed to recognize my greatness before, and—there I was, on the playground, greeted by the cheers of my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess. I can tell you that I played like a demon (魔鬼). I was here, there and everywhere—now leading the attack, now falling back to help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life. For a time, I was the center of all attention, the object of universal applause, and “the observed of all observers”. And, believe it or not, it was I who put in the winning goal. It marked the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed pleasure and satisfaction. 4.What can you learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A.

He played attentively in the final match. 7.What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Patience is the best treatment. B. Care and diligence bring luck. C. Great hopes make a great man. D. Opportunity is for the prepared. 答案与解析　 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者热爱踢足球并且努力训练,但是作者一直没有出场的机会,在一次队友生病的时候,作者代替队友得到了出场机会,最终以完美的表现征服了所有人。作者的这段经历让我们明白了机会是留给有准备的人的这个道理。 4.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中“I played for the mere physical joy that I got out of the game, but I played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The result was that, though I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college team. (我踢球只是为了从比赛中获得身体上的快乐,但我踢球是有意志的,我把全部的心都投入到比赛中。结果是,尽管我精力充沛,充满热情,但我从来没有入选过大学队。)”以及第二段中“I considered myself the better sportsman, but he was certainly the greater player. So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time. (我认为自己是更好的运动员,但他肯定是更伟大的运动员。所以我从不埋怨或抱怨。我满足于等待时机。)”可知,从文章的前两段可以了解到作者对踢足球表现出了极大的兴趣。故选D项。 5.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Our star-player sent word at the last moment that he was ill and he could not take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The thought was that the game was as good as lost, and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our trump card (王牌): That is what everybody always said. However, something had to be done, and that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost apologetically for having failed to recognize my greatness before, and—there I was, on the playground, greeted by the cheers of my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess. (我们的明星球员在最后一刻传话说他病了,不能参加比赛。想象一下大学营地里的惊讶吧!我承认,我当时也是这么想的,因为这位球员是我们的王牌:人人都是这么说的。然而,我必须做点什么,那件事必须是我自己!队长几乎是带着歉意地叫了我,因为他以前没有认识到我的伟大,我就在那里,在操场上,我的朋友们欢呼着迎接我,还有一些对我的能力不太相信的人的嘲笑。)”可知,作者的耐心得到的回报是代替了生病的球员。故选D项。 6.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life. For a time, I was the center of all attention, the object of universal applause, and ‘the observed of all observers’. (那确实是我一生中激动人心的时刻。有一段时间,我是所有人关注的中心,是全世界掌声的对象,是‘所有观察者的观察对象’。)”可知,作者说这是他一生中激动人心的时刻是因为观众为他的表现鼓掌。故选B项。 7.D　推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第二段中“So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time. (所以我从不埋怨或抱怨。我满足于等待时机。)”以及最后一段中“And, believe it or not, it was I who put in the winning goal. It marked the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed pleasure and satisfaction. (信不信由你,是我打进了制胜球。这标志着辉煌的一天的开始。即使现在回想起这段经历,我仍然感到无比的愉悦和满足。)”可知,从作者的经历中,我们明白了机会是留给有准备的人的这个道理。故选D项。 教师备选资源 （阅读C、D） 阅读　C　(2023·全国乙卷)　体裁:说明文　主题语境:饮食文化　难度:★★★☆☆ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists. 　　It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking. 　　According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking. 8.What do people usually think of British food? A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition. C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation. 9.Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV? A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential. 10.Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now? A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%. 11.What might the author continue talking about? A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes. C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters. 答案与解析　 本文是一篇说明文。英国的一些烹饪类电视节目使更多的英国人改变饮食习惯并爱上烹饪。 8.A　推理判断题。 第一段讲到提到英国食物, 人们往往只是想到炸鱼、薯条和周日烤肉,并用了“uninteresting”,“less-than-impressive”来形容人们对英国食物的印象,可见英国食物通常被认为是简单的、不吸引人的。故选A。 9.D　观点态度题。 根据第二段中的“It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits.”(正是由于电视上的这些大厨,而不是凭借广告宣传活动,英国人正在远离“一肉两菜”和速食餐,而变得更加愿意探索新的烹饪习惯。)和“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”(似乎电视节目帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法。)可知,英国的烹饪类电视节目能够改变英国人对烹饪的看法,让他们从传统的英式饮食走出来,尝试新的烹饪习惯。由此推知,英国的烹饪类电视节目具有很大的影响力。 故选D。 10.D　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to”可知,近三分之一的人表示他们现在使用的食材比以前更丰富了,三分之一即33%左右。故选D。 11.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer ‘uncool’ for boys to like cooking.”可知,随着越来越多的男厨师出现在电视上,男孩喜欢烹饪不再是“不酷”的事了。由此可推断,接下来作者可能会介绍一些电视节目中的男厨师,从而与上文形成语义连贯。故选B。 阅读　D　(2022·新高考Ⅱ卷)　体裁:说明文　主题语境:健康的生活方式　难度:★★★★☆ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner. “Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart. Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health. “We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30- or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine.“And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says. “The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says.“We put healthy 70-year-olds through a year-long exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.” Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference. 12.What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band? A. The right way of exercising. B. The causes of a heart attack. C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart. 13.In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design? A. Diet plan. B. Professional background. C. Exercise type. D. Previous physical condition. 14.What does Levine’s research find? A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise. B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young. C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise. D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get. 15.What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest? A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants. C. Conducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study. 答案与解析　 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,锻炼有助于延缓心脏衰老。 12.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“‘Think of a rubber band ... and easily broken,’ ... That’s what happens to the heart.”可知,橡皮筋开始的时候很柔韧,但放在抽屉里20年以后,会变得干燥和易碎,就像心脏一样,不锻炼就容易老化。由此推断出,Levine借橡皮筋说明心脏老化的过程。故选D。 13.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise ... three times a week.”可知,第一组参加无氧运动;根据第三段中的“The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise ... a week.”可知,第二组参加高强度的有氧运动。综上所述可知,两组运动的类型不一样。故选C。 14.A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.”可知,第二组参与者在心脏健康方面有明显的改善。再结合第四段中的“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30- or 35-year-old hearts”可知,中年心脏因为有氧运动变得更年轻。故选A。 15.C　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.”可知, Nieca Goldberg建议做进一步研究。故选C。 七选五　(2024·贵州联考)　体裁:说明文　主题语境:运动与健康　难度:★★★☆☆ How to Begin Your Running Running is a fantastic way to improve your fitness, boost your mood, and connect with the great outdoors.

Hopefully “满怀希望地”;B. Luckily “幸运地”;C. Obviously “显而易见地”;D. Thankfully “感激地”。根据上文中的“But finally, after waiting too long, I made a rush for the nearest bus to take me home.”可知,最后,作者等了太久了,冲向了最近的公交车,这不是他的错。由此可知,此处作者指的是“显而易见”不是他的错。故选C项。 7.B　考查动词词义辨析。句意:当我离开时,我向卖冰淇淋的人做了个手势,耸了耸肩,让他完全困惑。A. stared “凝视”;B. signaled “示意”;C. shouted “大喊”;D. aimed “瞄准”。根据下文中的“at my wrist and shrugged to the ice-cream seller”可知,作者对着卖家耸了耸肩,由此可推断,此处指的是作者用肢体语言与卖家交流,所以此处应是用手势“示意”卖家。故选B项。 8.A　考查形容词词义辨析。句意同上。A. total “完全的”;B. modest “谦虚的”;C. unexpected “出乎意料的”;D. amazing “令人惊奇的”。根据上文中的“and his face was a mix of confusion and 　4　”可知,作者在这之前问过一次冰淇淋的事情,此处又使用肢体语言向卖家做了个手势。由此可推断,此时的卖家应该是“完全”困惑。故选A项。  9.B　考查动词词义辨析。句意:这段经历在我的记忆中逐渐淡去,直到多年后我回到墨西哥生活。A. remained “仍然”;B. faded “逐渐消失”;C. shone “闪光”;D. appeared “出现”。根据常识和下文中的“until years later when I came back to live in Mexico”可知,经过多少年后,这段经历应该是从记忆中“逐渐消失”。故选B项。 10.D　考查名词词义辨析。句意:我发现理解“ahorita”并不需要流利的语言,而是需要流利的文化。A. time “时间”;B. history “历史”;C. manners “礼貌”;D. fluency “流利”。根据语境和下文中的“but rather a fluency in the 　11　”可知,上下文为并列关系,此处指的是作者发现理解“ahorita”不需要“流利的语言”,此处为词汇复现。故选D项。  11.C　考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。A. habit “习惯”;B. shopping “购物”;C. culture “文化”;D. time “时期”。根据常识和上文中的“I discovered that understanding ‘ahorita’ took not a 　10　 in the language”可知,作者发现理解“ahorita”不需要“流利”的语言,结合but可知,此空与上文内容对应,“语言”对应的是“文化”,结合下文中的“When someone from Mexico says ‘ahorita’, it should almost never be taken literally (照字面地); its meaning 　12　 greatly with context.”可知, 当地人在说“ahorita”时,绝不是照字面意思理解,而是通过语境理解,所以这是一种“文化”的影响让作者产生了误解。故选C项。  12.A　考查动词词义辨析。句意:当墨西哥人说“ahorita”时,几乎不应该从字面上理解;它的意思因上下文而异。A. varies “改变”;B. grows “成长”;C. extends “延伸”;D. stays “逗留”。根据下文中的“greatly with context”可知,“ahorita”的意思会随着语境不同而不断地“改变”。故选A项。 13.D　考查动词词义辨析。句意:正如一位语言学家所解释的那样,“Ahorita可能意味着明天、一小时后、五年内或永远不会。”A. questions “问询”;B. expects “期望”;C. outlines “概述”;D. illustrates “说明,阐述”。根据下文中的“Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.”可知,“ahorita”的意思可能是明天,一个小时,五年内甚至是永远都不会,由此可知,此处是语言学家做出的“解释”。故选D项。 14.A　考查形容词词义辨析。句意:在拒绝别人的好意时,它甚至被用来礼貌地说“不,谢谢”。A. polite “礼貌的”;B. funny “滑稽可笑的”;C. amazing “令人惊奇的”;D. popular “受欢迎的”。根据语境和下文中的“saying ‘no, thanks’ when refusing a(n) 　15　”可知,此处指的是在拒绝别人时说“不,谢谢”。由此可知,此处指的是“ahorita”甚至可以是拒绝别人时用的一种“礼貌的”表达方式。故选A项。  15.C　考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。A. application “申请”;B. design “设计”;C. offer “提议”;D. request “请求”。根据常识和上文中的“It is even used as a(n) 　14　 way of saying ‘no, thanks’ when refusing ...”可知,“ahorita”甚至可以是拒绝别人时用的一种礼貌用语。由此可知,你可以使用“ahorita”这种礼貌的方式去拒绝别人的“提议”。refuse an offer意为“拒绝好意”。故选C项。  学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
