I practiced half an hour every day, went to lessons once a week, and played in a group concert from time to time. Like most kids, I’m not a big fan of practising. If my parents hadn’t been there to make me practice, I probably would have put down my violin and never have picked it up again. I met Moira when I was 11 at an Irish music party. Moira hosted the party that night, playing the violin, singing and dancing. She made sure that everyone in the room got involved and had a great time. I immediately fell in love with the music she played and the energy that she brought to it. Just a few days after that party, I took my first lesson with Moira, and I continued taking lessons with Moira throughout middle school. When I started playing the violin with Moira, playing music became something that I loved. She introduced me to so many types of music, from Irish to Old Time, to Cajun music. Moira also taught me to play the guitar. Soon we started performing together and were shocked to discover that people actually wanted to hear us! When I began to play the violin, practicing was something that I did at home in my living room, but under Moira’s influence it quickly became something that I did everywhere. I played on street corners, at festivals, at the beach, at parties, at weddings, and late at night in my friends’ kitchens. Moira took the music out of the classroom and brought it to life. Her passion was not only for playing music, but also for sharing it. My time with Moira allowed me to grow both musically and personally. I have met so many special people and had so many memorable experiences. Moira has proven to be the most important influence in my musical development, and also my invaluable friend. 1.How did the author feel about violin practice at the beginning? A. Interesting. B. Challenging. C. Inspiring. D. Unexciting. 2.What can we infer from the passage? A. The writer was proud of Moira’s achievements in music. B. The writer became a popular local violinist. C. The writer spent all her spare time playing the violin. D. The writer had more self-confidence in terms of performing. 3.What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Classroom was not a suitable place for Moira to practice any more. B. Moira helped the writer a lot with her personal life experience. C. Moira played a significant role in the writer’s musical progress. D. Moira was very thankful for the writer’s musical support. 4.What would be the best title for the passage? A. My Way to Success B. My Invaluable Friend C. Middle School Musical D. How I Learned the Violin 答案与解析　 本文是一篇记叙文。作者不是特别喜欢小提琴,但这些在遇到Moira后有了改变。和Moira在一起的时光让作者在音乐和个人方面都有所成长,Moira在音乐和人生上对作者产生了巨大影响。 1.D　细节理解题。根据第一段的“Like most kids, I’m not a big fan of practising. If my parents hadn’t been there to make me practice, I probably would have put down my violin and never have picked it up again. (和大多数孩子一样,我不太喜欢练习。如果我的父母没有督促我练习,我可能会放下小提琴,再也不会拿起它)”可知,一开始作者不喜欢练习小提琴,觉得很乏味。故选D。 2.D　推理判断题。根据第三段的“When I began to play the violin, practicing was something that I did at home in my living room, but under Moira’s influence it quickly became something that I did everywhere. I played on street corners, at festivals, at the beach, at parties, at weddings, and late at night in my friends’ kitchens. (我开始拉小提琴时,只在家里演奏,但是在Moira的影响下,我可以在任何地方演奏。我在街角、节日里、沙滩上、婚礼上、深夜在朋友的厨房里演奏)”可知,作者一开始只是在家里演奏。在Moira的影响下,可以在任何地方演奏。由此推测,作者对小提琴演奏变得更加自信。故选D。 3.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段的“My time with Moira allowed me to grow both musically and personally. (和Moira在一起的时光让我在音乐和个人方面都有了成长)”和“Moira has proven to be the most important influence in my musical development, and also my invaluable friend. (事实证明,Moira对我的音乐发展产生了最重要的影响,也是我珍贵的朋友)”可知,Moira在作者的音乐生涯中发挥了重要作用。故选C。 4.B　主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合最后一段的“Moira has proven to be the most important influence in my musical development, and also my invaluable friend. (事实证明,Moira对我的音乐发展产生了最重要的影响,也是我珍贵的朋友)”可知,本文主要讲述了Moira对于作者来说是最珍贵的朋友,对作者在音乐和人生上都产生了很大影响。B项“我珍贵的朋友”为最佳标题,故选B。 阅读　B　体裁:新闻报道　主题语境:社会文化　难度:★★★☆☆ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　Wang Zhipu, 16, a high school student begins his voyage into space after class. Positioning a telescope on the balcony at home, he observes the skies, taking photos. Recently, his efforts were rewarded when he won the title of “Young Astronomy Photographer of the Year” in the Royal Observatory Greenwich’s annual astrophotography contest. The event, jointly organized by the Royal Observatory Greenwich in London and the BBC’s Sky at Night magazine, is the world’s biggest astrophotography competition. His winning entry, entitled Family Photo of the Solar System, shows seven of the eight planets lined up, with the sun on the left and the moon on the right, both pictured larger in size than normal. This year the competition attracted over 4,500 entries from 75 countries. Wang’s photo took first prize in the Young Competition category, an award for photographers aged 15 and under. He entered the competition in February. At the time, he was not yet 16. “I saw photos taken by other photographers in the Young Competition category, and some looked similar to mine, so I thought, why not try?” he said. Wang developed an interest in astronomy after reading about the subject as a child. He taught himself astrophotography by reading books and by searching online. He used a second-hand telescope that his parents had given him. “The first time I used it, I saw the moon. It was splendid. I was thrilled!” he said. Sometimes, he would be so immersed in his observations that he wouldn’t go downstairs to fetch a coat. Other times, he stood for hours under the burning sun to get the perfect shot.  In addition to the fame, Wang’s biggest bonus is the 1,500 pound ($2,023) prize money, which will allow him to buy a new camera. “I will keep on. Astronomy will be a lifelong hobby. It would be great if I could help popularize science in the future, or become an astronomy teacher,” he said. His passion touched the judges. Sheila Kanani said, “As a planetary scientist, I applaud the work that has gone into creating this photo.” 5.What is Wang Zhipu’s winning photo like, according to the passage? A. Seven planets, the sun and the moon are in a straight line. B. Seven planets line up with the sun and the moon on each side. C. Seven planets, the sun and the moon are larger than normal. D. Seven planets are much larger than the sun and the moon. 6.What inspired Wang Zhipu to enter the competition? A. Popularity of the competition. B. His desire to win the prize. C. Other competitors’ photographs. D. His parents’ encouragement. 7.Which of the following can replace the underlined words in Paragraph 4? A. Trapped in. B. Absorbed in. C. Connected with. D. Exposed to. 8.What do you think the passage most probably is? A. A short biography. B. An online post. C. A diary entry. D. A news report. 答案与解析　 本文为一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了16岁的“追星少年”王至璞,凭借一幅太阳系“全家福”的照片,获得了世界顶级天文摄影赛事——英国格林威治皇家天文台主办的年度天文摄影师大赛(被称为全球天文摄影奥斯卡奖)青年组的冠军。 5.B　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“His winning entry, entitled Family Photo of the Solar System, shows seven of the eight planets lined up, with the sun on the left and the moon on the right, both pictured larger in size than normal. (他的获奖作品名为 《太阳系全家福》,展示了8颗行星中的7颗排成一列,太阳在左边,月亮在右边,照片上的太阳和月亮都比正常情况下大)”可知,获奖作品上是七颗行星排成一列,太阳和月亮分别在两侧,故选B。 6.C　细节理解题。通过第三段引号中王至璞的话“I saw photos taken by other photographers in the Young Competition category, and some looked similar to mine, so I thought, why not try?(我看到其他摄影师在青年比赛类别中拍摄的照片,有些看起来和我的很像,所以我想,为什么不试试呢?)”可知,他看到在青年组竞赛类别中其他摄影师拍摄的照片,有些看起来和他拍摄的很像,因此他决定参加比赛。故选C。 7.B　短语猜测题。根据第四段中画线短语后“he wouldn’t go downstairs to fetch a coat. Other times, he stood for hours under the burning sun to get the perfect shot.(他不下楼去拿外套。其他时候,他会在烈日下站上几个小时,只为拍出完美的照片)”可知,此处是说明他非常专心地投入于观测和拍摄中,所以immersed in意为“沉浸于”。故选B。 8.D　推理判断题。根据全文内容可知,文章介绍了16 岁的中国少年王至璞最近获得全球天文摄影奥斯卡奖的事情。因此,本文最有可能是一篇新闻报道。故选D。 教师备选资源 （阅读C、D） 阅读　C　(外刊原味)　体裁:说明文　主题语境:建筑　难度:★★★☆☆ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　In the north Indian desert town of Jaisalmer, known as “The Golden City” for its array of yellow sandstone architecture, temperatures can reach approximately 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius) in summer. Here, buildings have long been designed to adapt to the heat, a tradition followed by New York architect Diana Kellogg in her work on the Rajkumari Ratnavati Girls’ School. Named the 2020 “Building of the Year” by Architectural Digest India, the eco-friendly sandstone school opened in November 2021 and 120 girls are currently enrolled in its curriculum. Designing a comfortable learning space can be challenging in the heart of the Thar desert, where climate change is making drought spells longer and more intense. Kellogg, motivated by a 2014 trip to Jaisalmer, wanted the building to symbolize the hope and resilience of the desert by merging traditional Jaisalmer architecture with modern design. “Centuries-old cooling methods exist. What I did is put them together in a combination that worked,” Kellogg said, adding that indoor temperatures at the school are approximately 20~30 degrees Fahrenheit lower than outside. She used local sandstone for the building, a material also found in the Jaisalmer Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site. “It’s abundant and reasonable here. It keeps heat out and maintains coolness at night,” Kellogg explained. Among the traditional techniques Kellogg incorporated into the design is lining the inner walls with lime plaster, a natural cooling material that helps release any trapped moisture from humidity. Inspired by other buildings in the region, she also installed a jali wall to accelerate wind, cooling the courtyard while providing shade from the sun. High ceilings and windows release rising heat in classrooms, while a solar panel canopy provides shade and energy. No air conditioning is used in the building, due to its environmental impact and local practices. By adopting traditional and natural cooling mechanisms the students are familiar with instead, she believes they can get a sense of comfort from their surroundings, leading to greater confidence. (CNN) 9.What inspired Diana Kellogg’s design for the Rajkumari Ratnavati Girls’ School? A. Her passion for traditional architecture. B. The popularity of eco-friendly buildings. C. Her trip to the Golden City. D. Recommendations from locals. 10.What does the underlined word “merging” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Connecting. B. Marking. C. Contrasting. D. Mixing. 11.What is a notable feature of the school’s design that helps release trapped moisture? A. Solar panel canopy. B. High ceilings and windows. C. A jali wall. D. Lime plaster lining. 12.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Energy-efficient design. B. Impact of natural cooling. C. Comfort in sustainability. D. Designs boosting confidence. 答案与解析　 本文是一篇说明文。在印度贾沙梅尔的沙漠小镇上,建筑师戴安娜·凯洛格设计了一所生态友好的砂岩学校,融合传统建筑和现代设计,以适应高温环境。学校采用多种传统降温方法,如涂抹石灰石膏、安装“加里墙”和利用太阳能电池板,让学生在舒适的环境中学习。这一设计赢得了2020年“年度建筑奖”,体现了对环境和当地文化的尊重。 9.C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In the north Indian desert town of Jaisalmer, known as ‘The Golden City’ for its array of yellow sandstone architecture”可知,贾沙梅尔又叫“黄金城”;再根据第三段中的“Kellogg, motivated by a 2014 trip to Jaisalmer, wanted the building to symbolize the hope and resilience of the desert by merging traditional Jaisalmer architecture with modern design.”可知, Diana Kellogg的设计灵感来源于她2014年去贾沙梅尔的旅行。故选C。 10.D　词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Centuries-old cooling methods exist. What I did is put them together in a combination that worked”可知,“merging”在这里的意思是将传统的建筑与现代设计进行混合,故merging与mixing同义。故选D。 11.D　细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“Among the traditional techniques Kellogg incorporated into the design is lining the inner walls with lime plaster, a natural cooling material that helps release any trapped moisture from humidity.”可知,该学校设计的显著特点之一是在内墙上涂抹石灰石膏,这是一种天然的冷却材料,有助于释放湿气。故选D。 12.C　段落大意题。最后一段第一句介绍该建筑不用空调的原因:环境影响和当地做法; 第二句介绍通过采用学生熟悉的传统和自然的冷却机制来创造舒适感和增强信心的影响。由此可知, 该段主要介绍的是可持续性做法带来的舒适自在。故选C。 阅读　D　(2023·全国乙卷)　体裁:记叙文　主题语境:摄影　难度:★★★☆☆ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape (风景) can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation. Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. 13.How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest? A. By teaming up with other photographers. B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks. C. By studying the geographical conditions. D. By creating settings in the corn fields. 14.What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author? A. Proper time management. B. Good shooting techniques. C. Adventurous spirit. D. Distinctive styles. 15.What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake? A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected. D. They had problems with their equipment. 16.How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake? A. Amusing. B. Satisfying. C. Encouraging. D. Comforting. 答案与解析　 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了美国爱荷华州的一位摄影师的拍摄日常,为了拍出优秀的风景照,摄影师付出了很多,其中不乏艰辛,当然有收获也有遗憾。 13.B　推理判断题。第一段提到挑战源于中西部地貌多样性的缺乏, 第二段提到作者和他的朋友们到州立公园或乡村去拍摄。由此可知,作者通过在乡村或州立公园拍摄来应对缺少地理多样性的挑战。故B项正确。 14.A　细节理解题。 第三段第一句提到,恰当的地点和恰当的时间对于拍摄任何风格的照片都起着决定性的作用。第三段的最后一句验证了作者提到的该看法。故A项正确。 15.C　推理判断题。根据第四段的“However, we did not mark the route (路线) ... it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time.”可知,文中描述的是作者和朋友几乎完全错过了日落,之后安置拍摄设备的时间就非常有限了,也就是说他们比预想的到达的晚。故C项正确。 16.B　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Still, looking back on the photos ... if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.”可知,虽然有准备不充分和时间管理不明智等方面的遗憾,作者依然认为这是一些自己拍的最好的照片。故B项正确。 七选五　体裁:说明文　主题语境:饮食文化　难度:★★☆☆☆ 　　To fully appreciate Australian cuisine, you have to consider the unique nature of its wildlife and geography. For one thing, there are the wide plains in the interior of the country, which are home to millions of grazing animals. For another, there is Australia’s long coastline, which is next to all the riches of the sea. 　1　  One of the most popular red meats in Australia is also unique to the continent: kangaroo. This may seem strange as the kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia. However, in recent years, kangaroos have increased in number to around 45 million. These kangaroos wander onto the roads and into cities, making trouble. 　2　 As a consequence, the government is encouraging people to use these animals as food, and kangaroo has become one of the most popular items on the Australian dinner table. As for seafood, many of the first Europeans who came to Australia loved the sea. 　3　 Since the coastline is so long, each region has its own dishes that are related to the seafood found in its waters.  But then, how is all this food cooked? Perhaps the favourite way of cooking food in Australia is the barbecue. 　4　 It is a time for friends and relatives to get together and have fun. Even strangers passing through will be offered a seat, a cold drink, and something off the grill.  　5　 As Australia is a diverse country with people from many nations, Australian cooking now has flavours and cuisines from around the globe. No matter who you are and no matter what cuisine interests you, you are always sure to find a warm welcome and a full plate waiting for you in Australia.  A. Australia is made up of many regions. B. Beyond this, what is Australian cooking? C. Casual friendliness is the key to such meals. D. People need to pay attention to the protection of kangaroos. E. Their increased numbers have also harmed plants and other wildlife. F. Perhaps this is one reason why so many Australians live near the coast. G. It is no wonder that much of Australian cuisine centres around red meat and seafood. 答案与解析　 本文是一篇说明文。文章从独特的野生动物、地理环境和文化特色等方面介绍了澳大利亚的美食。 1.G　根据前文“For one thing, there are the wide plains in the interior of the country, which are home to millions of grazing animals. For another, there is Australia’s long coastline, which is next to all the riches of the sea. (一方面,这个国家的内陆有广阔的平原,那里是数百万只食草动物的家园。另一方面,澳大利亚有漫长的海岸线,它毗邻海洋的所有财富。)”和后文“One of the most popular red meats in Australia is also unique to the continent: kangaroo. (澳大利亚最受欢迎的红肉之一也是这片大陆所独有的:袋鼠肉。)”以及“As for seafood, many of the first Europeans who came to Australia loved the sea. (至于海鲜,许多第一批来到澳大利亚的欧洲人都喜欢大海。)”可知,前文是介绍澳大利亚的菜肴多围绕红肉和海鲜的原因,所以选项G“难怪很多澳大利亚美食都以红肉和海鲜为中心。”切合文意。故选G。 2.E　根据前文“However, in recent years, kangaroos have increased in number to around 45 million. These kangaroos wander onto the roads and into cities, making trouble. (然而,近年来,袋鼠的数量已经增加到大约4500万只。这些袋鼠在道路上游荡,进入城市,制造麻烦。)”可知,此处是讲袋鼠数量大增带来的麻烦,所以选项E“它们数量的增加也伤害了植物和其他野生动物。”切合文意。故选E。 3.F　根据前文“As for seafood, many of the first Europeans who came to Australia loved the sea. (至于海鲜,许多第一批来到澳大利亚的欧洲人都喜欢大海。)”可知,此处是讲为什么许多澳大利亚人喜欢住在海岸附近,所以选项F“也许这就是为什么这么多澳大利亚人住在海岸附近的原因之一。”切合文意。故选F。 4.C　根据后文“It is a time for friends and relatives to get together and have fun. Even strangers passing through will be offered a seat, a cold drink, and something off the grill. (这是一个朋友和亲戚聚在一起玩的时间。即使是路过的陌生人也会得到一个座位,一杯冷饮和一些从烤架上取下来的东西。)”和前文“Perhaps the favourite way of cooking food in Australia is the barbecue. (也许在澳大利亚最受欢迎的烹饪方式是烧烤。)”可知,此处是讲澳大利亚人最喜欢的烹饪方式是烧烤是因为澳大利亚人对周围人的友好态度,所以选项C“随意的友好是这种用餐的关键。”切合文意。故选C。 5.B　根据后文“As Australia is a diverse country with people from many nations, Australian cooking now has flavours and cuisines from around the globe.(由于澳大利亚是一个多元化的国家,人们来自许多国家,澳大利亚烹饪现在有来自世界各地的风味和菜系。)”可知,此处是指除了上述烹饪内容和方式,澳大利亚还有来自世界各地的风味和菜系,所以选项B“除此之外,澳大利亚还烹饪什么?”切合文意。故选B。 完形填空　(2024·唐山高三统考)　体裁:记叙文　主题语境:人生感悟　难度:★★★☆☆ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　“This will never do.” I kept telling my husband as he set the table one Thanksgiving.

Criticisms from my childhood 　2　 rang in my mind. So whenever my parents visited us, I 　3　 myself for more faultfinding.”可知,追求完美让人感到有压力,所以不会感到快乐。故选D。caused “导致”; passed “通过”; spread “传播”; stole “偷走”。  5.C　考查动词短语辨析。句意:渐渐地,我忘记了感恩节的原因,我发现自己和父母一样,批评周围的人。根据下文“I found myself, like my parents, 　6　 people around me”可知,作者变得跟她父母一样爱批评人,所以就应该是会忽视过感恩节的原因了。故选C。made sure of “确定”; got used to “习惯于”; lost sight of “看不见;忽视”; paid attention to “注意……”。  6.C　考查动词词义辨析。句意同上。根据上文“Criticisms from my childhood 　2　 rang in my mind.”可知,作者的父母喜欢批评人。故选C。punishing “惩罚”; interrupting “打扰”; criticizing “批评”; declining “下降”。  7.C　考查名词词义辨析。句意:幸运的是,我读过一本书,“过多的批评会伤人”; 必要的赞扬会有所帮助。把你对某人的赞扬写下来,这样对方就可以保存并阅读。根据下文“So the next Thanksgiving, I 　8　 to my husband and my son, ‘We’re each going to write a message saying what we 　9　 about one of us.’”可知,书上建议人们把对别人的赞扬写下来。故选C。questions “问题”; lectures “讲座”; writing “书写”; testing “测试”。  8.B　考查动词词义辨析。句意:因此,第二个感恩节,我向丈夫和儿子宣布,“我们每个人都要写一条信息,表达我们对其中一个人的感激之情。”根据下文“‘We’re each going to write a message saying what we 　9　 about one of us.’”可知,这是作者在告知家人她的决定。故选B。reported “报告”; announced “宣布”; replied “回应”; admitted “承认”。  9.A　考查动词词义辨析。句意同上。根据上文“Put your praise of someone in 　7　 so that the person can save and read it.”可知,书上建议人们把对别人的赞扬写下来。故选A。appreciate “欣赏,感激”; forget “忘记”; expect “期待”; ignore “忽视”。  10.D　考查名词词义辨析。句意:尽管他们翻白眼,我们很快就写完了,并交换了字条。根据上文“Put your praise of someone in 　7　 so that the person can save and read it.”可知,作者他们把对别人的赞扬写了下来,所以应该是便条。故选D。designs “设计”; plans “计划”; gifts “礼物”; notes “便条”。  11.B　考查动词词义辨析。句意:我儿子看完他父亲写的关于他的话后,坐得更直了。根据上文“so that the person can save and read it”可知,他们把对别人的赞扬写了下来是为了让对方读到。故选B。remembering “记得”; reading “读”; explaining “解释”; translating “翻译”。 12.B　考查名词词义辨析。句意:那是一个改变人生的时刻。根据上文“My son sat up straighter after 　11　 what his father had written about him.
