(2024·大连高三双基测试)Chatting in her bright two bedroom flat,Shirley Meredeen doesn't hesitate about describing the benefits of living here.“It keeps my brain going.We are all very active because there is so much to do...We're really lucky to have such a supportive community.”
In 1998, Meredeen first heard of the concept of cohousing as developed in the Netherlands and decided to copy its model in the UK and create the Older Women's CoHousing (OWCH) with her friends.But they didn't imagine that it would be an 18year struggle.The novelty of the idea coupled with the lack of data to prove the social and economic benefits made it difficult for them to access public money.Councils always compared their idea to sheltered accommodation and saw it as a burden for their already overstretched budgets.
In fact, the communityled housing is a departure from the conventional understanding of later life.Now, the community comprises 25 flats as well as a shared kitchen,meeting room,laundry garden, car park and a guest room.People live together based on interdependence.They can take control of their future instead of relying on their families or care homes.All the neighbours look out for each other,which means accompanying each other to medical appointments, doing the local shopping,having family contacts in preparation for an emergency...But the limits of such informal care among residents still need to be worked out.
OWCH has paved the way for alternative living arrangements in later life and the support for communityled housing is starting to emerge in the form of guidance and funding, according to UK Cohousing Network.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。本文主要介绍了Shirley Meredeen和朋友们一起向英国引入了一种老年护理模式“OWCH”,重点介绍了这种模式在英国发起的经过,该模式的特点,以及政府对这种模式的态度。
4.What do we know about Meredeen?
A.She first tried cohousing in the Netherlands.
B.She is a regular visitor to OWCH.
C.She is a pioneer in elderly care service.
D.She founded OWCH singlehanded.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In 1998,Meredeen...CoHousing(OWCH)with her friends”和最后一段中的“OWCH has paved the way for alternative living arrangements in later life”可知,1998年,Shirley Meredeen在荷兰听说了共居概念,便决定在英国复制该模式,并和朋友一起创建OWCH。OWCH为非传统的老年生活安排创造了条件。由此可知,Shirley Meredeen是老年护理服务的先驱。
5.Why did it take such a long time to set up OWCH?
A.It didn't benefit social economy.
B.It didn't keep up with the time.
C.It called for careful budgeting.
D.It was hard to get public funding.
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The novelty of the...made it difficult for them to access public money.”可知,由于这一想法新颖,再加上缺乏数据来证明其社会和经济效益,他们很难获得公共资金。由此可知,难以获得公共资金是OWCH耗时这么久才创立的原因。
6.Which is probably the reason why seniors choose OWCH?
A.They will become more independent.
B.They are responsible for each other.
C.They receive more care services.
D.They can rely on their relatives.
解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“People live together based on interdependence...or care homes”可知,人们基于相互依赖而住在一起,他们可以掌控自己的未来,而不是依赖家人或养老院。由此可知,这种模式使得他们更加独立。
7.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To describe an ambitious figure.
B.To introduce a new lifestyle of seniors.
C.To ensure elderly people's welfare.
D.To inspire the aged to achieve their dreams.
解析:选B。写作目的题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一种老年护理模式“OWCH”,重点介绍了这种模式在英国发起的经过、该模式的特点及政府对这种模式的态度等,故B项正确。

I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road.I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away.I couldn't imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
Last May, I met Paul.He told me that it was his first time in China.He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China.He spoke of the ShuYandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17thcentury Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20thcentury American botanist Joseph Rock.He also talked of Xuanzang.Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.
I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan.On September 28, 2021, we set out.Our days were simple:walk, eat, sleep, and repeat.We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
We met many people on the road.Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown.We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls.We were walking with our minds.
Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains.As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.
Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization.Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet.A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other's cultures.

[语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章简要介绍了几个发现他人优点和特长的方法。
1.解析:选D。空前提到激发别人最好的一面可以逐渐改变世界。空后又提到有了耐心,你就会逐渐发现身边人令人钦佩的特质。D项“为了实现这一点,你需要学会探索他人优秀的品质”符合语境。其中“For that”与前文相呼应,“learn to explore good qualities in others”与下文衔接,故D项符合语境。
2.解析:选F。空前提到你可以通过你的建议、天赋等来帮助他们,空后提到此外,你会知道他们是如何以一种永不放弃的心态来处理生活中的问题的。由此可推断,空处应介绍了通过建议等帮助他人的结果。F项提到“在这一过程中,你将会了解到他们正在面对的困难”,其中“During this process”指代空前提到的帮助他人,故选F。
3.解析:选G。空处所在段主要强调了天赋有多种形式,并且会让人有不同的经历,因此你需要灵活地发现他人的优点。空前又提到你遇到的一些人对于生活的看法可能和你的不同。由此可推断,空处应介绍在这种情况下如何发现别人的优点。G项“你最大的挑战是把自己的想法放在一边,看到他人身上的闪光点”符合语境,故选G。
