专题02 阅读理解之记叙文 （一） （23-24高一上·四川乐山·期中）“When I was young, I had so much energy and I loved building things. If I had an idea, I had to build it right now using what I could find around me,” says Danish artist Thomas Dambo. When Dambo was seven years old, he bought a mountain of cushions (垫子) from a nearby market to build a game room in his parents’ house. As a teenager, he built a “crazy” castle in his backyard. Years later, 42-year-old Dambo is proudly showing his latest work: a giant (巨人) called Little Lui. Five meters tall, Little Lui is one of the six giants placed in the corners of Peel Region of Western Australia, which will be on show for at least a year. This work makes Dambo’s giants up to 99 around the world. His gentle giants have found homes in many different countries, as far as the United States, Belgium, China, Denmark, South Korea and now in Australia. “For me, giants represent (代表) the voice of nature,” Dambo says. This deep respect for nature is the focus of Dambo’s building works. Dambo’s giants are made almost from local recycled wood: their faces from second-hand furniture and their hair from tree branches and leaves. Taking about 750 hours to complete, each giant is built out in nature. “I hope by visiting the giants, people will think of rubbish as a resource. I think it’s really important that next generations are connected to nature,” Dambo says. “That’s why I tried to build the giants to attract young people. I want people to be inspired and to realize they don’t need a lot to create something big and beautiful.” 1．Which of the following can best describe young Dambo? A．Creative. B．Homesick. C．Powerful. D．Frightened. 2．What can we know about Little Lui? A．It is kept underground. B．It’s Dambo’s first giant. C．It will be shown to the public. D．It will be sent to Denmark. 3．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The comments on the giants. B．The appearance of the giants. C．The basic theme of the giants. D．The expensive materials of the giants. 4．What does Dambo plan to do with his giants? A．Inspire more people to take adventures. B．Encourage the young to approach nature. C．Help people spend less time playing games. D．Call on the young to save natural resources. （二） （23-24高一上·浙江·期中）As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco. 5．How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her? A．They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B．They helped her better understand her father. C．They made her decide to leave the country. D．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher. 6．What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland? A．Cold weather. B．Soil pollution. C．Low rainfall. D．Forest damage. 7．Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia? A．To create job opportunities for young people. B．To promote the protection of their farmland. C．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D．To help the children obtain a basic education. 8．Which of the following can be the best title to the text? A．Saving Water in Africa B．Fighting Poverty in North Africa C．Holding back the Sahara D．Planting Trees in Tunisia （三） （23-24高一上·陕西咸阳·期中）Robert and Peter study in the same university.

They had been in the same school together since childhood and became good friends. One day, the two youths began a discussion as to whether wealth or effort was more powerful. Jim said that wealth was most important, while Ham declared for effort. At last, Ham declared, “Let us put it to the test: Let us both go to some far country and try whether wealth or effort is more successful.” Jim agreed to this plan and they fixed a day for starting. Then they both went home and collected some money and started off early one morning. After a time, they came to a certain country where Ham suggested that they should look for employment. But Jim did not like the notion of becoming a servant and he said that he would live on the money which he had brought with him, which would last for a year or two. “You may do as you like,” answered Ham, “but for my part, I must look for work.” So he went to a village and found employment as a teacher in a school while his friend rented a house and started making various friends, eating and having fun all day. One year later, Ham earned enough money, built a beautiful house and also got married. However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him. Hungry and sorrowful, he went to Ham and said, “My dear friend, regarding the question of ‘whether wealth or effort is more important’, I think I’ve already had the answer.” 13．What can we learn about the young men from the first two paragraphs?

I have experienced more success as a writer than I ever imagined. So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears? When I published my first book, I had become used to failure. I wrote many unpublished novels for over 20 years before selling the first. Now I'm here. My books have all sold out their advance (预订). The reviews have been largely positive. At the same time, I am still troubled by doubt. I'm not alone in that. At a lecture I attended recently by Wally Lamb, he talked about how difficult it was to write the next novel after his novel, She's Come Undone, was brought into spotlight. Elizabeth Gilbert received over nine million views for her TED talk, where she admitted that she was afraid to write after the success of her book, Eat, Pray, Love. I don't have as many readers to disappoint as Lamb and Gilbert have, of course, but I worry about disappointing them all the same. So I am afraid every day I write. I fear writing a book that isn’t interesting to readers. The only thing that keeps me going is this: I write because writing is the thing I love to do. My passion to tell stories makes me create characters. That‘s when I know the writing is true and good, whether readers find the book and love it or not. 17．What feeling does the author mainly express in Paragraph 1? A．Thankfulness. B．Interest. C．Stress. D．Impatience. 18．What can we learn about the author’s books? A．They have been as successful as imagined. B．They were difficult to sell out their advance. C．Most of them have received negative reviews. D．Many of them were not able to be published. 19．What is the author’s main worry about writing? A．Creating popular characters. B．Disappointing the readers. C．Finding proper publishers. D．Failing to get success. 20．What can be the best title for the text? A．Writing forward. B．Writing for publication. C．What makes a good writer. D．What to think when writing. （六） （23-24高一上·福建漳州·期中）Once upon a time, there was a small village in the center of a big forest. All the villagers were used to their robotic farm work and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Jo. Most villagers could not read or write, and Jo was an exception. One afternoon, when Jo was on one of her adventures in the forest, she came across an abandoned cottage. Though she’d been warned to stay away from abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her. She slid in and was amazed to find a room full of books! Jo’s excitement was huge when she realized she had found a hidden treasure. She ran to tell the villagers everything, thinking that they would share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter! Jo was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books. She came to the cottage every day and got down to reading the books. For her, each page was an adventure with characters who challenged difficulties with their determination and who struggled for good. Knowing the power of stories in impressing on people the values of life, she decided to share the stories with the villagers, though she knew it would be a difficult journey. Making this her mission, Jo started telling stories every day at her cottage. In the beginning, only a few came to the readings. But word spread rapidly, causing more and more people to come, some of whom even traveled from far away to just listen to her stories. She also conducted workshops in which she taught people how to read and write. She was remembered and lived in her stories even after she was long gone. 21．Which can best replace the underlined phrase “got the best of” in paragraph 2? A．Discouraged. B．Beat. C．Cheated.

But if you judge a fish, by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”---Albert Einstein If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, you’re likely to have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and it means, combined with her communication and sight problems, that normal standard isn’t always an accurate measure of her abilities. By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student to give them much admiration and a high-five. I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence increase rapidly.” he said. All I could think was: how lucky these students are to have such good teachers. Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: wonderful. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done---she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase greatly. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmates trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try. I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all have. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success. 25．What does the author think of Albert Einstein’s saying? A．Funny. B．True. C．Strange. D．Confusing. 26．What can we learn about Syona’s teacher? A．She is Syona’s favorite teacher. B．She puts Einstein’s quote on the wall C．She uses videos to teach her students. D．She helps increase her students’ confidence. 27．What change has taken place in the author’s family? A．They’ve invited Ulmer’s students to their home. B．They visit Ulmer’s classroom regularly. C．They give each other praise every day. D．They feel thankful to people in their lives. 28．What is the author’s attitude towards Chris Ulmar’s way of teaching?

Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer. Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures. His journey through time with a camera has been especially moving, because his grandmother, Scilla, has Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) and has lost many of her memories. Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages. Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager. Philip said his mother showed him the album she had found at her mother’s house. Greatly absorbed in how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos. Some of the places are similar, like Big Ben. Others show how the city has modernized. Unlike Scilla’s view of St. Paul’s Cathedral from the Thames, Philip’s retake has the Millenium Bridge. When Scilla photographed the John Lewis store on Oxford Street, it was a one-storey building — now it has seven floors. Philip had to use his imagination to recreate other sights. Scilla has repeatedly returned to her new album since receiving it. Philip said: “It’s nice for her to see someone taking an interest in those photos and going back over them, and also good for her to connect her past to where we are now.” 29．What did Philip do for Scilla during the past year? A．He taught her how to use a camera. B．He took her to visit London streets. C．He found a new way to treat her disease. D．He recreated photos of London she had taken. 30．What influence did Philip’s work have on Scilla? A．It inspired her to take photos. B．It made her think of her teenage days. C．It encouraged her to travel across London. D．It raised her confidence to fight off illness. 31．What does the underlined word “absorbed” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Troubled. B．Interested. C．Experienced. D．Disappointed. 32．What is the best title of this passage? A．A teenager sensed the great changes of London. B．An old lady suffered a lot from Alzheimer’s disease. C．A teenager and his mother travelled to London for fun. D．A teenager’s photos helped recover his grandmother’s memory. （九） （23-24高一上·湖南娄底·期中）As a college student in Boston, I formed the habit of buying used books. I enjoy the hunt, the good price and the unrecognized treasures. I find old textbooks, ex-bestsellers, and books on subjects I’ve never heard of but now I must learn all about. I don’t search for rare books, first editions, or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading. Rereading, for me, is a pleasure during retirement. The theater and the concert hall become less appealing to me, along with crowds. Staying alone and reading books have become extremely important to me. Literature needs the flesh of experience to have its full effect. Different books offer me insights and ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oyster — now shine like pearls. My taste in books improves with age. While packing for a move, which occurs at intervals of five to seven years, I clear my shelves and pick my books. I abandon a few, later regret my decisions, and look for them again. Several years ago, I got rid of books related to my job — architecture. Some were design guides, reference books, product catalogs, and things that went out of date. Some were historical or centered on a period or an architect. These had given me many hours of pleasure. Will I ever open their covers again? Certainly. I held on to the red bulk of Sir Banister Fletcher’s A History of Architecture and books on Paris, Rome, and Boston. I gave away drafting equipment and instruments. I threw out rolls and rolls of paper, and old drawings of projects completed long ago, some of which had even been damaged. This time, I stay put in a cottage that suits my status and I’ve moved on in spirit. No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade, like feathers changing with the seasons. 33．What does the author consider most important when choosing used books? A．Their appealing covers. B．Their reasonable prices. C．Their collection value. D．Their excellent content. 34．What does the author realize as he grows older? A．He has a deeper understanding of reading. B．His attitude towards work changes. C．His communication skills improve. D．He has a small circle of friends. 35．Why does the author mention books on architecture? A．To show some books are worth rereading. B．To explain his love for architecture. C．To suggest we avoid making poor decisions. D．To recommend Sir Banister Fletcher’s books. 36．What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph? A．He decides to stop throwing away used books. B．He will read more books that suit his interests. C．He will enlarge his collection of used books. D．He is bad at using advanced drafting equipment. （十） （23-24高一上·江苏南京·期中）Resting her phone on a stand and making the light more suitable, 49-year-old Lyu Min started her livestreaming session — her daily job during the COVID-19 outbreak. Dressed in a qipao, a traditional Chinese dress, Lyu started the livestreaming session from her workshop at 10 in the morning, sharing the art of making Chinese knots with many handicraft (手工艺) lovers. Lyu, an inheritor (继承人) of the art of making Chinese knots, which is listed as an intangible (非物质) cultural heritage, became a livestreaming host. “Though the sales of Chinese knots have dropped a lot, I’m still confident that I can get out of the trouble brought by the outbreak. I can make full use of this period to improve my skills and develop this traditional handicraft online,” she said. Lyu is quite new to the world of livestreaming, having bought all the necessary equipment (设备) after following her friends advice. She practises livestreaming every day and records a large number of educational videos. As face-to-face interaction is still impractical for many, even as the outbreak has been largely brought under control in China, she thinks livestreaming classes can meet more Chinese knot lovers’ needs to learn the handicraft. She has integrated the anti-epidemic spirit into her works, expressing the determination (决心) and confidence of the Chinese people to win against the COVID-19. “I love Wuhan, where I showed my works in 2019. Chinese knots are popular among many local people, and I made lots of friends there,” Lyu said. She designed a special Chinese knot to express her thanks to the medics who were sent to support Wuhan several months ago. She has more than 200 followers right now. There are more and more Chinese knot lovers on her online platform. She is using a length of colored string and determination to keep this traditional art of Chinese knots alive online and help more people understand the culture. 37．The underlined word “livestreaming” in Paragraph 1 is close to “_______”. A．sending out while happening B．equipment for recording videos C．sending out after recording D．equipment for making handicrafts 38．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．Lyu Min advised her friends to livestream traditional handicraft online. B．Lyu Min’s friends provided the necessary equipment for her to livestream. C．Chinese knots sell very well in Lyu Min’s workshop through the Internet. D．More Chinese knot lovers want to learn the handicraft because of Lyu Min. 39．What does Lyu Min think of the future of Chinese knots? A．Unexpected. B．Hopeful. C．Difficult D．Doubtful. 40．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Having online classes during the outbreak B．Introducing an intangible cultural heritage C．Livestreaming the art of making Chinese knots D．Expressing thanks to the doctors and nurses （十一） （23-24高一上·辽宁·期中）A common claim states that a sheet of paper cannot be folded in half more than seven times. But is this true? In 2002, Britney Gallivan, then a junior in high school in Pomona, California, folded a single piece of paper in half 12 times. She currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most times to fold a sheet of paper in half. The prompt that led Gallivan to accomplish this was an extra-credit challenge in math class to fold anything in half 12 times. Her teacher asked the students to fold something thicker: a piece of paper. Gallivan said “it was very frustrating, as I had many unsuccessful attempts at trying to fold different papers in half. I began to question if folding paper in half more than eight times could be impossible.” However, Gallivan recalled. “I knew I needed to understand what was limiting the folding progression.” The equations (方程式) that Gallivan came up with calculated how many times a sheet of paper could be folded. She found that in order to fold many times, a long thin sheet is needed — the more a sheet is folded, the thicker the resulting stack becomes, and once the stack becomes thicker than it is long, there is nothing left to fold. She ultimately set her record with a sheet of tissue paper she found online that was 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) — more than three-quarters of a mile, or over a kilometer long, Guinness World Records noted. “Working on the problem took a tremendous amount of time and effort,” Gallivan said. “As frustrating as it was at times, I learned an immense amount from the experience, which has been valuable to me throughout my life in more capacities than one would expect.” Since Gallivan set her record, others have made claims of folding a sheet of paper more than 12 times. Still, “I anticipate that my current record will be surpassed,” Gallivan said. 41．What prompts Gallivan to accept the challenge? A．Peer pressure. B．Mathematics anxiety. C．Academic requirement. D．Guinness World Records. 42．Under what circumstances is it impossible to fold a paper in half more times? A．The stack is as thick as it’s long. B．The paper is neither long nor thin. C．The stack is thicker than it’s long. D．The paper is longer than it’s thick. 43．What can we learn about Gallivan’s attempts? A．It’s risky. B．It’s fruitless. C．It’s meaningless. D．It’s energy-consuming. 44．What can we infer from the passage? A．Gallivan’s record is impossible to break. B．Folding paper in half is merely a math problem. C．Folding things in half may not be limited to 12. D．Folding paper 12 times is a required credit in high schools. （十二） （23-24高一上·浙江嘉兴·期中）I’m interested in the Renaissance (文艺复兴), so I like visiting ancient Italian cities. Ferrara is called City of the Renaissance. When I learned about this city on the Internet, I decided to pay a visit to it. The city has a certain charm, but I find it isn’t as great as other Italian cities like Verona, let alone Venice or Rome. The Michelin Green Guide gives it two stars, which is right. I first visited the city centre. The Cathedral and Castello Estense are at the heart of the city. Both have striking appearances. I visited the Cathedral first. Castello Estense is also worth visiting, which owes its name to the powerful Este family. It was built with bricks and surrounded by a moat (护城河). At the lower levels, the history of the city and the Este family are told through displays, and in another part the ceilings are shown through mirrors on the ground. In the north, we can appreciate the Renaissance extension of the town, with straight streets and monumental houses. The famous Palazzo dei Diamanti lies here. When I was visiting it, it started to rain, so after taking a few photos quickly, I cut my visit there short. It had been raining for a few days. When the rain ceased, I went to visit the historical centre and the Renaissance buildings. After leaving there, I visited several other interesting places such as palaces and the narrow streets of the downtown. After four hours in Ferrara I left by train to Mantua. There I had a much better time. 45．Why did the author pay a visit to Ferrara? A．Because it is related to the Renaissance. B．Because it is full of charm. C．Because it is a very famous city in Europe. D．Because it is strongly recommended by a website. 46．What did the author think of The Michelin Green Guide’s comment on Ferrara? A．Subjective. B．Reasonable. C．Unacceptable. D．Unbelievable. 47．How could Castello Estense probably get its name according to the text? A．It came from the historical buildings. B．It originated from the straight streets. C．It was named after the powerful Este family. D．It was connected to the surrounding moat. 48．What can we infer from the text? A．The writer thought Ferrara was as great as Venice. B．The writer visited Palazzo dei Diamanti for a long time. C．The writer was much more satisfied with the tour in Mantua than in Ferrara. D．The writer was disappointed with the visit to the Cathedral and Castello Estense. （十三） （23-24高一上·浙江杭州·期中）A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck. The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year’s Eve to collect firewood. Expecting a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just long johns(衬裤), a shirt and slippers when he went outside, although the temperature was around -4℃. After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey came to his assistance. “I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was10:30 pm,” Bob explained. “But my Kelsey came. By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help, but Kelsey didn’t stop barking.” Kelsey’s companion kept him warm by lying on top of him. She licked his face and hands to keep him awake. “Kelsey kept barking but never left my side,” Bob recalled. “She kept me warm. I knew I couldn’t give up and that it was my choice to stay alive.” Bob spent 20 hours in the freezing cold. When he finally lost consciousness, his dog kept barking. Finally, hearing the barking, Bob’s neighbor discovered him at 6: 30 pm on New Year’s Day and called the emergency services at once. When Bob arrived in hospital, his body temperature was below 21℃. However, doctors were surprised to find that he didn’t have any frostbite(冻疮). They believed it was because of Kelsey’s determination to keep him warm. Dr. Chaim Colen, the doctor who treated Bob, said, “Animals can help and his dog really saved him… He was very fortunate. Bob said he was “enormously” grateful to both Dr. Colen and his Kelsey. “They saved my life. They are truly heroes!” 49．What happened to Bob on New Year’s Eve?

Tom’s mother was very busy. But she didn’t forget to buy cards for her son’s teachers. She drove to a gift store on her way home from work. When she came back, she put the cards on the table in the living room. She was so busy that she did not have time to write them. When Tom came home from school, she said to him, “Here are the cards for your teachers, and here are some stamps, a pen and our book of addresses. Can you write the cards when I am cooking the dinner?” Tom did not say anything, but walked out of the living room and went into his room.

After years of treatment (治疗), she finally became healthy. Two years ago, while Jane was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head — to be a swimmer. She practiced hard and finally joined the local swimming team. The team practice, however, was a difficult start. She coughed for her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing heavily one night, I decided to pull her from it all. But Jane woke me up early the next morning, wearing her swimsuit ready to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she just refused to rest at home. From that day on, Jane kept swimming and didn’t miss any practice. She wanted to be the best swimmer someday. My girl was growing and changing right before my eyes into this strong-minded person. There are moments when she felt upset of course — often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Jane to accept that she wasn’t a winner ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying. Then came the final awards ceremony (颁奖仪式) at the end of the year. Jane didn’t expect any award but was still there for her friends. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach (教练) saying loudly, “The highest honor (荣誉) goes to Jane!” It was the greatest moment of my daughter’s life.

But Mr. Fritz has spent his working life reintroducing the birds into the wild, and an extremely important part has been teaching the young the migration (迁徙) path. When Mr. Friz decided to lead the migration in a plane, he was laughed at. But in 2004, three years after some experiments, Mr. Fritz flew an ultralight plane slowly enough for his winged students to catch up, and led the first group from Austria to Italy. He has since led 15 such migrations. Over that time, he has rewilded 277 young ibises, many of which then started to pass the path on to their own young. But the path he taught the ibises before is no longer workable. With climate change warming the lakes where the birds summer, they now delay (推迟) their migration to November, one month later than they did just a decade ago. And they are now reaching the Alps too late to make it over the peaks (山峰) because the rising warm air flows were too weak by November to allow the birds to fly over the mountains. Determined to save them, Mr. Fritz decided he would teach the birds a new, safer migration path. The new path is about three times as long as their former 800 miles one directly south to Tuscany, Italy. Flying at a highest speed of 25 miles per hour, the trip is expected to take about six weeks, instead of the two to reach Tuscany. At Lake Constance this summer, humans and birds were practicing for their long journey. Soon, they’ll fly to Andalusia in Spain, dealing with unpredictable weather along the way. But the risks are “necessary,” Mr. Fritz said. “It’s not so much a job,” he added, “but my life’s purpose.” 62．What happened to the ibises when Mr. Fritz was born? A．They had been trained to fly. B．They had been rewilded in Italy. C．They were migrating naturally. D．They were no longer seen in the wild. 63．Why do the ibises need to learn a new migration path? A．They have forgotten the old path. B．The path they took before is longer. C．The Alps is impassable for the delayed migration. D．The changing climate has warmed the mountains. 64．What can we know about the ibises’ new migration path? A．It is higher than before. B．It takes about two weeks. C．It leads directly to Tuscany. D．It is about 2,400 miles long. 65．Which of the following can best describe Mr. Fritz? A．Inspiring but inexperienced. B．Responsible but emotional. C．Determined and creative. D．Observant and outgoing. （十七） （23-24高一上·云南德宏·期中）Ma Long, born in Anshan, Liaoning, the “home of table tennis”, was sent by his father to practise table tennis when he was 5 years old, and he went to Shenyang at the age of 11. At 15, Ma Long joined the national team. Although he was the least talkative boy of the players, his perseverance (坚持不懈) was as great as his overall strength in table tennis. In 2006, at 18, Ma Long, together with his teammates, won a team world championship. His daily routine was a two-point line between the dormitory and the training hall, and he was the first to arrive and the last to leave on a daily basis. He had been doing so for ten years. His coach Liu Guoliang once said, “I went to the table tennis hall on a Sunday morning for an unannounced inspection (突击检查) to see how many players were training on Sunday. Only one person in the men’s first team was there. A genius (天才) is not your fear, but your fear is that a genius works harder than you do.” Such a genius is Ma Long. However, after joining the team for nearly a decade, he suffered various types of failure. At that time, Zhang Jike, another top player, returned to the national team. From then on, Zhang was so invincible that he achieved the personal Grand Slam (大满贯) within only 445 days. Seeing Zhang’s achievements, Ma Long, at the lowest point, had the idea of retiring.

Day in and day out, Mr Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island. His journey started when one of his neighbors, Lisa, asked him to collect vegetables and give them away at Bukit Ho Swee, a poor and less-privileged neighbourhood, and thus, he continued to do so for a period of time. During one of these visits, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. Asked why, one replied that she could not cook, so she only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal sparked Willing Hearts, which has since served about 650,000 meals. The soup kitchen sees many volunteers, some of whom are new, while others have been around since the organisation’s early days. They learn how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, they will form a strong tie with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to make “the country’s backyard” known to the younger generation, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors. As a non-profit organisation, Willing Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not faze Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress. He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organisation’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand. 70．What does Willing Hearts do? A．It collects vegetables.

The 49-year-old Zhang is from a village in Hebei province. With only a high school diploma, she had previously worked as a restaurant server and a store seller. In 2012, she took on the role of a sanitation worker in the embassy area of Sanlitun in Beijing’s Chaoyang District. One morning, a foreigner came to her and spoke a long string of unfamiliar words to her. Zhang didn’t know how to react. The special experience deeply moved Zhang and she was determined (下定决心) to learn English. “I just want to help whenever someone is in need,” said Zhang.

While others rested, she memorized vocabulary and practiced speaking. Upon arriving home after work, she would note down new knowledge points and review them until thoroughly understood. “Learning English at 40, I would easily forget the words I learned the previous day,” Zhang said. However, she persisted (坚持), reviewing words at night and then repeating them one more time the next day morning. She also downloaded over a dozen English learning apps on her computer and phone. “Learn step by step, learn every day.” Zhang said. To date, she has collected a vocabulary of around 3,000 English words, enabling her to talk fluently with foreigners. “Growing up without a college education, I sometimes feared being looked down upon. But every time I help a stranger in English, I feel incredibly achievable.” “To serve others makes me happy and it’s where I prove my self-worth,” said Zhang. “After retirement, I also want to introduce my hometown in English and develop local tourism.” 74．What do we know about Zhang Jianna from paragraph 2?

Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply... All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday. But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees. He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amusement park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amusement park proposal that he presented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as fortunate setback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected. The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called "Disneyland". The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park. Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28, 154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success. Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down. 82．What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amusement park? A．His ambition to expand beyond the movie industry. B．His animators’ suggestion on an entertainment plan. C．His wish to create a better place for family recreation.

Mousie can’t have been kidnapped by Cody!” “There are no paw prints on my lawn,” noted Milly. “Mousie didn’t just run off!” “And there are no sneaker prints,” said Detective Denny. “Cody only wears sneakers.” Then he noticed tiny holes in the grass that looked like they were made by high-heeled shoes.

One night, I took a fare (出租车乘客) at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, sanding on the side way was a small woman in her 80s with a big suitcase. After I helped her into the taxi she gave me an address and asked, “Could you drive through downtown?” “It is not the shortest way,” I answered quickly. “I don’t mind,” She said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I looked in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). Her eyes were wet. I quietly reached over and shut off he meter (计价器). “What route would you like me to take?” I asked. For the next two hours, we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newly married. She had me stop in front of a shabby house, where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she asked me to slow in front of a particular building and sat staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.” We drove in silence to the destination. It was a grey low building. “How much do I owe you?” She asked, reaching into her purse. “Nothing,” I said. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held on to me tightly and whispered a “Thank you”. I squeezed her hand and walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I didn’t pick up any more passengers, but drove aimlessly, lost in thought. What if that woman had come across an impatient driver?

Labor Day also informally marks the end of summer. Many students return to school after Labor Day. The hot days of summer turn cooler. Many Americans celebrate the holiday with an outdoor family picnic. But Labor Day started with a struggle. On May 1, 1889, workers demonstrated on the streets of Paris, France. International Labor Day was born. Most industrialized countries in the world—except the United States and Canada—celebrate Labor Day on the first of May. On September 5, 1882, in New York City. About 10,000 workers walked through the streets to show the strength of organized labor. For many years after that, American workers used the first Monday in September to ask for better working conditions and pay. Music was a part of many of those marches. Labor songs traditionally tell stories of conflict (冲突) and hopes for a better life. Many traditional American labor songs came from workers in the coal mines of the South. Mine owners were bitterly against workers’ unions (工会). In Kentucky, company police searched for union leaders. They waited outside a worker’s home for several days to stop him from organizing. The coal miner’s wife, Florence Reece, stayed inside with her children. She wrote this song, “Which Side Are You On?” Another American labor song is called “Bread and Roses.” It is based on a poem by James Oppenheim, published in December of 1911. The poem speaks about the women’s labor movement. At that time, conditions in factories, where many women worked, were horrible. A fire at a clothing factory in New York killed 146 people. A month after Oppenheim’s poem was published, textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts went on strike, which won them higher pay and better working conditions. Oppenheim’s poem gained more attention. 95．What does Labor Day mean to students in the United States? A．It’s a time to eat in the wild. B．Their summer vacation is over.

Brought up in an artistic family, Zhang was first taught to paint by his mother and older siblings. He went on to copy as many masterpieces as he could set his eyes on, and was especially influenced by the individualistic masters Shitao (石涛) and Bada Shanren (八大山人). In the early 1940s, Zhang spent two years studying the Buddhist mural paintings at Dunhuang, which proved to be a crucial experience in his artistic development. In particular, Zhang’s works are noteworthy for the many painting styles that he mastered, from highly meticulous (注意细节的) and detailed portraits to bold and expressive splashed-ink landscapes (泼墨风景画). While he was highly innovative as he developed his own unique style, he always ensured that his art was firmly rooted in Chinese tradition. As is usually the case with ink artists, his later works, especially his vibrant splashed-ink landscapes, are the most sought after. Zhang mastered the art of painting “from heart to hand” late in his life. In 1971, he selected this particular phrase to carve into a seal (印章). The phrase probably conveyed a twofold message. First, it was Zhang’s proud claim that he had developed a stylistic versatility (多才多艺) for depicting the endless variations of the natural world. He acquired this ability by imitating the works of previous masters, which led to a grand combination of historical styles in his art. He also enriched his personal experience with his extensive travel and enhanced his artistic vocabulary in order to capture the beauty of the world. Second, the phrase communicates Zhang’s belief that an artist should follow his heart to convey their “spirit resonance (气韵生动),” a historical principle in judging the beauty of Chinese painting. Before applying his brush to paper, Zhang had already conceived (构思) the forms he wanted to depict and the inspiration he wished to convey through the painting. He would be fully aware of the most effective means by which to inspire awe and wonder in his audience. Blessed with a long life—he was 83 when he died in 1983—and filled with an enormous amount of passion and energy for life, the artist produced a huge number of paintings over his lifetime. He is estimated to have completed an average of about 500 per year. In 2011, Zhang became not only the most popular Chinese artist at auction but the best-selling artist in the world as well, surpassing Pablo Picasso. And demand for his works has remained high since then. 99．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The characteristics of Zhang Daqian’s art. B．The most sought-after works by Zhang Daqian. C．Where Zhang Daqian got inspiration for his paintings. D．The reason why Zhang Daqian’s artworks are so popular. 100．Based on information from Paragraph 3, what does the phrase “from heart to hand” refer to? ①How Zhang Daqian became aware of the most effective means to inspire his audience. ②How Zhang Daqian was able to put what he wanted on the canvas without thinking about it. ③How Zhang Daqian learned to freely convey the principle of “spirit resonance” through his approach to painting. ④How Zhang Daqian was able to depict the endless variations of the natural world using a combination of different styles. A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．③④ 101．According to the article, Zhang Daqian’s artistic style was mainly influenced by ____________. ①the beauty of the natural world ②the Buddhist mural paintings at Dunhuang ③masters in the likes of Shitao and Bada Shanren ④the rich nature of his travels and personal experiences A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①②③④ （二十六） （23-24高一上·江苏徐州·期中）Cleary was working as a librarian in Washington, when a little boy marched up and asked, “Where are the books about kids like us?” Cleary realized she had had the same thought as a girl. There had been plenty of books about kids but none that appealed to common neighborhood kids. So she set out to fill that gap. The hero of her first book Henry Huggins was an adventurous third-grader with hair “like a scrubbing brush” and a skinny dog named Ribsy. Cleary was born on her family’s farm. When she was 6, they moved to Portland. Though Portland would become the sting for many of her books, she struggled to adapt to city life. Cleary was a slow reader at first, but in third grade she was going through a children’s novel when she “discovered I was reading,” Cleary said, “and enjoying it” Cleary found both comedy and drama in the smaller incidents of life, but she did not avoid serious themes. In 1977’s Ramona and Her Father, Ramona tries to persuade her dad to quit smoking — hanging a sign at home reading “NO SMOKING”. To attract her own young son to read, Cleary created a new character for 1965’s The Mouse and the Motorcycle — Ralph S. Mouse, a creature who makes friends with a human boy. For 30 years Cleary answered her fan mails herself. Dear Mr. Henshaw was inspired by two letters asking her to write a book about a boy whose parents are divorced. The novel, constructed as a series of letters between a lonely sixth-grader and his favorite writer, won the Newbery Medal, the top prize for children’s literature. Whatever she wrote, Cleary was always guided by the child she had once been. “That little girl,” she said, “prevents me from writing down to children and from writing an adult recollection (回忆) about childhood instead of a book to be enjoyed by children.” 102．Why did Cleary decide to write books for ordinary kids? A．A little boy asked her to do so. B．It was her dream as a little girl. C．Ordinary kids couldn’t afford books. D．Books then didn’t attract ordinary kids. 103．What can we know about Cleary from paragraph2? A．Many of her books were set in Portland. B．She adapted to city life very soon. C．She disliked reading at the fourth grade. D．Her books were mainly comedies. 104．Which novel won the top prize for children’s literature? A．Henry Huggins. B．Ramona and Her Father. C．Dear Mr. Henshaw. D．The Mouse and the Motorcycle. 105．Who does the underlined “that little girl” in the last paragraph refer to? A．One of her fans. B．The young Cleary. C．A lonely six-grader. D．The character Ramona. （二十七） （23-24高一上·上海嘉定·期中）MEGHAN YOUNG is a professional Instagram star. She gets paid to climb beautiful mountains, photograph their glittering (闪闪发光的) summits and post about her adventures to her fans. Young graduated from Seattle University’s school of Law in 2015. But she decided she didn’t want to become a lawyer. Her parents were shocked by the decision. “They were worried about what I was going to do,” Young says. “How was I going to find career stability?” But her legal skills haven’t gone to waste. Once companies express an interest in working with her, there’s the tough task of negotiating the terms (条款) of the deal. And the work is still unfinished even after she’s done take the photos. When Young returns from her adventures, she carefully edits the images and writes captions to go along with them. Once the posts are public, businesses sometimes don’t pay on time. That's when she needs to follow up. Her least favorite problem is when she discovers that a company has used her photos in a way that violates the terms of the contract.That usually leads to time-consuming email exchanges. Social media influencing is not as effortless as it seems. The stress it creates even has its own name: creator burnout (精疲力竭) . Young used to obsessively check her post’s performance, which she says will “drive you crazy”, so she stopped. But if she doesn’t reply, people will stop commenting.Without that engagement on her posts, brands won’t want to keep paying her. Therefore, she had to accept the fact that she’ll be tethered (拴住) to her phone as long as she’s in this line of work. Beyond the day-to- day headaches of a career online, social media’s inherent (固有的) uncertainly also poses problems for creators. There are times when Young is staring at the calendar without another project in the works. In the long term, it can be risky to focus a career on a single platform, or even on social media itself. Yet Young says it’s all been worth it, because the sponsorship allow her to spend much of her life in the mountains. Her ideal day starts with unzipping her tent at dawn so she can take pictures of the sunrise reflecting on snowy summits around her. Few jobs in the world would allow her to do that so consistently (一贯地) . 106．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The main work involved in being an Instagram influencer. B．The difficulties that every Instagram star will meet. C．How to deal with dishonest companies. D．How Meghan Young’s legal skills help her work. 107．According to the article, all of the following are problems with being a social media influencer EXCEPT__________. A．there are a lot of tough tasks when dealing with sponsors. B．the work of photo-taking and image-editing is difficult to handle. C．it is stressful to check one’s phone and to interact with fans all the time. D．the income is unstable and the career prospects are uncertain. 108．According to the article, what is Meghan Young’s attitude toward her career as a full-time influencer? A．Bored. B．Worried. C．Satisfied D．Confident. 109．According to the article, which of the following statements is true? A．Meghan Young’s decision to be a full-time influencer was supported by her parents. B．It happens frequently that Meghan Young doesn’t get paid on time. C．It is impossible for Instagram influencers to put down their phones. D．In order to increase their influence, creators have to keep a good relationship with fans. （二十八） （23-24高一上·广西柳州·期中）Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none — that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an unusual canvas (画布) — the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it. Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then, Jim has traveled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art. Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven’t changed — All he needs is a stick, a garden rake (耙) and most importantly, his lively imagination! Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, in search of perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world’s largest freelance (自由职业的) drawing, was created in the desert sands of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away. Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2005. Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand — he is also an excellent cook and founder of an organization called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto (座右铭) is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group dining events are held outdoors on farms, with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced. 110．What do we know about Denevan? A．He used to be a cook. B．He has a gift for creating sand art. C．He puts his work on show regularly. D．He showed artistic talents at a very young age. 111．What can we learn from the text? A．Denevan walks a lot to complete his work. B．It is not hard for Denevan to find suitable sand. C．It takes a long time for the storm to destroy Denevan’s work. D．Denevan is very particular about his drawing tools. 112．What does Denevan enjoy about his work according to the text? A．Walking a long distance. B．Waiting for the storm to come. C．Looking for a suitable canvas. D．Watching nature destroy his work. 113．Which of the following can best describe Denevan? A．Generous. B．Open-minded. C．Imaginative. D．Traditional. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题02 阅读理解之记叙文 （一） （23-24高一上·四川乐山·期中）“When I was young, I had so much energy and I loved building things. If I had an idea, I had to build it right now using what I could find around me,” says Danish artist Thomas Dambo. When Dambo was seven years old, he bought a mountain of cushions (垫子) from a nearby market to build a game room in his parents’ house. As a teenager, he built a “crazy” castle in his backyard. Years later, 42-year-old Dambo is proudly showing his latest work: a giant (巨人) called Little Lui. Five meters tall, Little Lui is one of the six giants placed in the corners of Peel Region of Western Australia, which will be on show for at least a year. This work makes Dambo’s giants up to 99 around the world. His gentle giants have found homes in many different countries, as far as the United States, Belgium, China, Denmark, South Korea and now in Australia. “For me, giants represent (代表) the voice of nature,” Dambo says. This deep respect for nature is the focus of Dambo’s building works. Dambo’s giants are made almost from local recycled wood: their faces from second-hand furniture and their hair from tree branches and leaves. Taking about 750 hours to complete, each giant is built out in nature. “I hope by visiting the giants, people will think of rubbish as a resource. I think it’s really important that next generations are connected to nature,” Dambo says. “That’s why I tried to build the giants to attract young people. I want people to be inspired and to realize they don’t need a lot to create something big and beautiful.” 1．Which of the following can best describe young Dambo? A．Creative. B．Homesick. C．Powerful. D．Frightened. 2．What can we know about Little Lui? A．It is kept underground. B．It’s Dambo’s first giant. C．It will be shown to the public. D．It will be sent to Denmark. 3．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The comments on the giants. B．The appearance of the giants. C．The basic theme of the giants. D．The expensive materials of the giants. 4．What does Dambo plan to do with his giants? A．Inspire more people to take adventures. B．Encourage the young to approach nature. C．Help people spend less time playing games. D．Call on the young to save natural resources. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。艺术家Thomas Dambo从小就喜欢搭建，现在通过利用可回收的木材等搭建巨人造型，吸引年轻人接近自然，创造美好事物。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“When Dambo was seven years old, he bought a mountain of cushions (垫子) from a nearby market to build a game room in his parents’ house.

(5米高的Little Lui是放置在西澳大利亚皮尔地区角落里的六个巨人之一，它将展出至少一年)”可知，Little Lui巨人造型将向公众展示。故选C项。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“‘For me, giants represent (代表) the voice of nature,’ Dambo says. This deep respect for nature is the focus of Dambo’s building works. (‘对我来说，巨人代表着大自然的声音，’Dambo说。这种对自然的深切尊重是Dambo建筑作品的重点)”可知，本段的主要内容是巨人的基本主题。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I think it’s really important that next generations are connected to nature.(我认为让下一代与自然保持联系非常重要)”和“That’s why I tried to build the giants to attract young people.(这就是为什么我试图建造巨人来吸引年轻人)”可知，Dambo利用他的巨人造型鼓励年轻人接近大自然。故选B项。 （二） （23-24高一上·浙江·期中）As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco. 5．How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her? A．They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B．They helped her better understand her father. C．They made her decide to leave the country. D．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher. 6．What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland? A．Cold weather. B．Soil pollution. C．Low rainfall. D．Forest damage. 7．Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia? A．To create job opportunities for young people. B．To promote the protection of their farmland. C．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D．To help the children obtain a basic education. 8．Which of the following can be the best title to the text? A．Saving Water in Africa B．Fighting Poverty in North Africa C．Holding back the Sahara D．Planting Trees in Tunisia 【答案】5．A 6．C 7．B 8．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Sarah Toumi的成长经历及其为对抗沙漠化、保护突尼斯农田所做出的努力，包括成立Acacias for All项目，种植树木以维护生态平衡，同时也提及了她的个人愿景和项目的发展影响。 5．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. (作为一个在法国长大的年轻女孩，Sarah Toumi梦想成为一名能够让世界变得更美好的领导者。从九岁起，她就在假期陪伴Tunisian父亲前往他在该国东部的出生地，这唤醒了她帮助他人的热情。在那里，她为孩子们组织了家庭作业俱乐部和活动。)”可知，Toumi在Tunisian的假期旅行激发了她帮助他人的热情。故选A。 6．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. (平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯大约75%的农业用地受到荒漠化的威胁。)”可知，导致突尼斯农田沙漠化的主因是降水量减少。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” (2012年，Toumi继续她与沙漠作战的梦想。她搬到了突尼斯，建立了一个名为“Acacias for All”的项目，将她的可持续农业理念付诸行动。“我想向农村地区的年轻人展示，他们可以在自己所在的地方创造机会。没有人比那些生活在没有水的地方的人更能理解荒漠化和气候变化的影响。”)”和第五段中“Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. (Toumi估计需要大约300万棵金合欢树来保护Tunisia的农田。)”可知，Toumi建立Acacias for All的目的是为了推广保护他们农田的行动。故选B。 8．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化).  “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor.  I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.”  A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. (图米亲眼目睹了沙漠化的破坏性影响。“在10年内，富裕的农民变得更穷，再过10年，他们将变穷。我想阻止撒哈拉沙漠的发展。”平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯大约75%的农业用地受到荒漠化的威胁。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Sarah Toumi为阻止沙漠化进程所做的努力，包括改变农业实践、种植金合欢树等，旨在保护突尼斯的农田免受沙漠化威胁。因此，“Holding back the Sahara (阻挡Sahara)”最能概括文章主题。故选C。 （三） （23-24高一上·陕西咸阳·期中）Robert and Peter study in the same university. They do everything together and help each other. But they often play jokes on each other. The school year was over last month and the decided to travel through the country in America. They drove a car and could stop wherever they wanted. Of course they enjoyed themselves. It was very hot one day and they were both hungry and thirsty. They stopped in front of a restaurant by the road. They came in , sat down at a table and ordered some dishes. Robert looked around and found there was a small bowl on the table. He thought there was some ice cream in it and took a spoonful of it and put it into his mouth. Immediately he knew it was mustard (芥末), but it was too late. Tears ran down his face, but he pretended nothing had happened. The other young man, seeing his friend crying, asked, “What are you crying for, Robert?” “I’m thinking of my father who was hanged twenty years ago,” was a reply. After a while Peter made the same mistake. Tears ran down his cheeks (脸颊), too. And his friend asked him why. “I wonder why your father hadn’t been hanged before he got married!” 9．Robert took a spoonful of mustard because______. A．it was free. B．he thought it was ice cream C．he liked it very much D．it was delicious 10．Robert didn’t tell Peter it was mustard in the bowl because______.

A．he often took mustard B．he was too hungry to wait for their dishes C．he was much braver than his friend D．he wasn’t afraid to be played a joke on 12．What do Peter’s last words mean? A．Robert’s father would be hanged earlier. B．B．It was wrong to play a joke on a friend. C．He must give his friend a lesson. D．His friend wouldn’t be born. 【答案】9．B 10．A 11．B 12．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述的是一对损友之间互相捉弄对方的故事。 9．细节理解题。根据第二段“He thought there was some ice cream in it and took a spoonful of it and put it into his mouth.(他以为里面是冰淇淋，就舀了一勺放进嘴里)”可知，罗伯特拿了一勺芥末，因为他以为那是冰淇淋。故选B。 10．细节理解题。根据第二段“Immediately he knew it was mustard (芥末), but it was too late. Tears ran down his face, but he pretended nothing had happened. The other young man, seeing his friend crying, asked, “What are you crying for, Robert?”(他立刻知道那是芥末，但已经太晚了。眼泪顺着他的脸流下来，但他假装什么也没发生。另一个年轻人看到他的朋友在哭，就问:“罗伯特，你哭什么呢？”)”以及第三段““I’m thinking of my father who was hanged twenty years ago,” was a reply.(“我在想我的父亲，他二十年前被绞死了。”对方回答)”；第四段“After a while Peter made the same mistake.(过了一会儿，彼得又犯了同样的错误)”可知，罗伯特没有告诉彼得碗里有芥末，因为他想让他的朋友重复这个错误。故选A。 11．推理判断题。根据第二段“It was very hot one day and they were both hungry and thirsty.(一天天气很热，他们又渴又饿)”以及第四段“After a while Peter made the same mistake.(过了一会儿，彼得又犯了同样的错误)”可知，彼得也犯了同样的错误，因为他太饿了，没时间等他们的菜。故选B。 12．推理判断题。根据““I wonder why your father hadn’t been hanged before he got married!”(“我不明白你父亲结婚前为什么没有被吊死！”)”以及上文罗伯特欺骗彼得吃下了芥末，让芥末重复了痛苦，所以彼得的话的意思是希望他朋友没有出生，这样就无法来捉弄他了。故选D。 （四） （23-24高一上·河北邢台·期中）Once upon a time, there was a poor man and a rich man. The poor man’s son was named Ham, and the rich man’s son was named Jim. They had been in the same school together since childhood and became good friends. One day, the two youths began a discussion as to whether wealth or effort was more powerful. Jim said that wealth was most important, while Ham declared for effort. At last, Ham declared, “Let us put it to the test: Let us both go to some far country and try whether wealth or effort is more successful.” Jim agreed to this plan and they fixed a day for starting. Then they both went home and collected some money and started off early one morning. After a time, they came to a certain country where Ham suggested that they should look for employment. But Jim did not like the notion of becoming a servant and he said that he would live on the money which he had brought with him, which would last for a year or two. “You may do as you like,” answered Ham, “but for my part, I must look for work.” So he went to a village and found employment as a teacher in a school while his friend rented a house and started making various friends, eating and having fun all day. One year later, Ham earned enough money, built a beautiful house and also got married. However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him. Hungry and sorrowful, he went to Ham and said, “My dear friend, regarding the question of ‘whether wealth or effort is more important’, I think I’ve already had the answer.” 13．What can we learn about the young men from the first two paragraphs? A．They often argued with each other. B．They all valued wealth and effort. C．Their relationship was not very good. D．They had been schoolmates since childhood. 14．Why did Ham suggest this test? A．To earn more wealth. B．To prove his opinion. C．To look for employment. D．To go to a country far away. 15．What does the underlined word “notion” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Process. B．Development. C．Idea. D．Dream. 16．What is the answer Jim has found? A．Efforts are the source of wealth. B．No failure, no success. C．A friend is easier lost than found. D．Education is the door to freedom. 【答案】13．D 14．B 15．C 16．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。Ham通过努力工作，最终过上了稳定幸福的生活，而Jim由于依赖财富，最终花光了所有的钱，陷入困境，两个年轻人的经历体现了努力的重要和财富的有限。 13．细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“They had been in the same school together since childhood and became good friends.(他们从小在同一所学校上学，成了好朋友。)”可知，他们从童年时期开始就是校友。故选D。 14．推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“One day, the two youths began a discussion as to whether wealth or effort was more powerful. Jim said that wealth was most important, while Ham declared for effort. At last, Ham declared, “Let us put it to the test: Let us both go to some far country and try whether wealth or effort is more successful.” Jim agreed to this plan and they fixed a day for starting.(一天，两个年轻人开始讨论财富和努力哪个更有力量。Jim说财富是最重要的，而Ham宣称努力是最重要的。最后，Ham宣布：“让我们来做个试验吧：让我们俩都去某个遥远的国家，看看财富和努力哪个更成功。”Jim同意了这个计划，他们确定了出发的日期。)”可知，Ham提出测试的目的是要证实自己的观点是正确的。故选B。 15．词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Then they both went home and collected some money and started off early one morning. After a time, they came to a certain country where Ham suggested that they should look for employment. But Jim did not like the notion of becoming a servant and he said that he would live on the money which he had brought with him, which would last for a year or two.(然后他们两个回家，收集了一些钱，一天早上就出发了。过了一段时间，他们来到了某个国家，Ham建议他们应该在那里找工作。但Jim不喜欢当仆人的……，他说他将靠他带来的钱生活，这笔钱将持续让他生活一两年。)”可知，Ham提出了找工作的想法，但是Jim不想成为一名仆人，即Jim不喜欢这个想法。由此可知，notion意为“想法”。故选C。 16．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“One year later, Ham earned enough money, built a beautiful house and also got married. However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him. Hungry and sorrowful, he went to Ham and said, “My dear friend, regarding the question of ‘whether wealth or effort is more important’, I think I’ve already had the answer.”(一年后，Ham赚了足够的钱，盖了一栋漂亮的房子，还结婚了。然而，Jim已经花光了所有的钱，那些纵情于酒肉的朋友也离开了他。他又饿又伤心，走到Ham跟前说：“亲爱的朋友，关于‘财富更重要还是努力更重要’这个问题，我想我已经有了答案。”)”可知，Jim开始的时候不想工作，直至最后他花光了所有的钱后朋友也离开了他，他又饿又悲伤，而Ham通过努力挣了足够多的钱。由此推知，Jim最后终于意识到了努力才是财富的源泉。故选A。 （五） （23-24高一上·四川乐山·期中）I published my newest novel, Haven Lake, in May, and I have another book ready for publication in October. I have experienced more success as a writer than I ever imagined. So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears? When I published my first book, I had become used to failure. I wrote many unpublished novels for over 20 years before selling the first. Now I'm here. My books have all sold out their advance (预订). The reviews have been largely positive. At the same time, I am still troubled by doubt. I'm not alone in that. At a lecture I attended recently by Wally Lamb, he talked about how difficult it was to write the next novel after his novel, She's Come Undone, was brought into spotlight. Elizabeth Gilbert received over nine million views for her TED talk, where she admitted that she was afraid to write after the success of her book, Eat, Pray, Love. I don't have as many readers to disappoint as Lamb and Gilbert have, of course, but I worry about disappointing them all the same. So I am afraid every day I write. I fear writing a book that isn’t interesting to readers. The only thing that keeps me going is this: I write because writing is the thing I love to do. My passion to tell stories makes me create characters. That‘s when I know the writing is true and good, whether readers find the book and love it or not. 17．What feeling does the author mainly express in Paragraph 1? A．Thankfulness. B．Interest. C．Stress. D．Impatience. 18．What can we learn about the author’s books? A．They have been as successful as imagined. B．They were difficult to sell out their advance. C．Most of them have received negative reviews. D．Many of them were not able to be published. 19．What is the author’s main worry about writing? A．Creating popular characters. B．Disappointing the readers. C．Finding proper publishers. D．Failing to get success. 20．What can be the best title for the text? A．Writing forward. B．Writing for publication. C．What makes a good writer. D．What to think when writing. 【答案】17．C 18．D 19．B 20．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己作为一名作家所经历的成功和随之而来的恐惧与压力。尽管取得了超出预期的成功，作者在写作每一本新书时仍感到越来越困难，并分享了如何克服这些恐惧继续写作。 17．细节理解题。根据第一段“So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears?”（为什么每写一本新书都比前一本更难？我是如何克服恐惧继续前进的？）可知，作者在首段主要表达了写作过程中感受到的压力。故选C项。 18．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I wrote many unpublished novels for over 20 years before selling the first.”（在卖出第一本书之前，我写了20多年未出版的小说。）可知，作者的书中有许多之前未能出版。故选D项。 19．细节理解题。根据第三段“I worry about disappointing them all the same.（我担心让他们所有人失望。）”和“I fear writing a book that isn’t interesting to readers.（我害怕写出的书对读者来说不有趣。）可知，作者主要担心的是让读者失望。故选B项。 20．主旨大意题。根据第一段“So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears?”（ 那么，为什么写每一本新书都比之前的一本更难呢？尽管我有恐惧，但我又该如何继续写下去呢？）以及最后一段“The only thing that keeps me going is this: I write because writing is the thing I love to do. My passion to tell stories makes me create characters. That's when I know the writing is true and good, whether readers find the book and love it or not”（让我坚持下去的唯一原因就是：我写书是因为我喜欢写作。我对讲故事的热情驱使我创造出各种角色。当我创造出这样的角色时，我就知道我的作品是真实而优秀的，无论读者是否找到这本书并喜欢它）可知，本文讲述了作者尽管在写作上取得了成功，但仍然感到压力和恐惧，并且表达了如何继续前进的态度。因此，A项“Writing forward(向前写作)”适合作为本文标题。故选A项。 （六） （23-24高一上·福建漳州·期中）Once upon a time, there was a small village in the center of a big forest. All the villagers were used to their robotic farm work and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Jo. Most villagers could not read or write, and Jo was an exception. One afternoon, when Jo was on one of her adventures in the forest, she came across an abandoned cottage. Though she’d been warned to stay away from abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her. She slid in and was amazed to find a room full of books! Jo’s excitement was huge when she realized she had found a hidden treasure. She ran to tell the villagers everything, thinking that they would share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter! Jo was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books. She came to the cottage every day and got down to reading the books. For her, each page was an adventure with characters who challenged difficulties with their determination and who struggled for good. Knowing the power of stories in impressing on people the values of life, she decided to share the stories with the villagers, though she knew it would be a difficult journey. Making this her mission, Jo started telling stories every day at her cottage. In the beginning, only a few came to the readings. But word spread rapidly, causing more and more people to come, some of whom even traveled from far away to just listen to her stories. She also conducted workshops in which she taught people how to read and write. She was remembered and lived in her stories even after she was long gone. 21．Which can best replace the underlined phrase “got the best of” in paragraph 2? A．Discouraged. B．Beat. C．Cheated. D．Scared. 22．Why did the villagers laugh when Jo told them her discovery? A．They took her words seriously. B．They’ve already known it. C．They thought it was something meaningless. D．It was all Jo’s imagination. 23．Which of the following best describe Jo? A．Dedicated and honest. B．Devoted but confusing. C．Adventurous but careless. D．Determined and influential. 24．What is a suitable title for the text? A．A Hidden Treasure Discovered by Jo. B．Jo’s Journey: from Adventure to Education. C．The Power of Stories D．A Role Model in the Field of Education 【答案】21．B 22．C 23．D 24．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小女孩乔通过自己的想象力和决心，将一个被遗忘的旧书屋变成了一个充满冒险和想象力的神圣地方。 21．词句猜测题。根据划线短语的上文“Though she’d been warned to stay away from abandoned places,(虽然她被警告要远离废弃的地方)”和下文“She slid in and was amazed to find a room full of books! Jo’s excitement was huge when she realized she had found a hidden treasure.(她溜了进去，惊奇地发现满屋子都是书!当乔意识到她找到了一个隐藏的宝藏时，她非常兴奋)”可知，乔虽然被警告远离废弃的地方，但是她还是去了，说明好奇心“战胜了”她，所以划线短语是“战胜、击败”的意思。故选B。 22．推理判断题。根据第三段“She ran to tell the villagers everything, thinking that they would share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter!(她跑去告诉村民们一切，以为他们会分享她的兴奋，但相反，她听到了哄堂大笑！)”和第四段“Knowing the power of stories in impressing on people the values of life, she decided to share the stories with the villagers, though she knew it would be a difficult journey.(她知道故事的力量能让人们深刻认识到生命的价值，所以她决定与村民们分享这些故事，尽管她知道这将是一段艰难的旅程)”可推知，村民们哄堂大笑是因为他们对乔的发现不以为然。故选C。 23．推理判断题。根据第四段“Knowing the power of stories in impressing on people the values of life, she decided to share the stories with the villagers, though she knew it would be a difficult journey. Making this her mission, Jo started telling stories every day at her cottage.(她知道故事的力量能让人们深刻认识到生命的价值，所以她决定与村民们分享这些故事，尽管她知道这将是一段艰难的旅程。把这作为她的使命，乔开始每天在她的小屋里讲故事)”和最后一段“In the beginning, only a few came to the readings. But word spread rapidly, causing more and more people to come, some of whom even traveled from far away to just listen to her stories.(一开始，只有少数人来阅读。但消息迅速传播开来，越来越多的人来听她的故事，其中一些人甚至从很远的地方来听她的故事)”可知，乔是一个坚定而有影响力的人。故选D。 24．主旨大意题。通读可知，文章主要讲述了小女孩乔通过自己的想象力和决心，在探险时发现了一个被遗忘的旧书屋并将其变成了一个充满冒险和想象力的神圣地方，吸引了越来越多的人来听她的故事，且她还举办了讲习班，教人们如何阅读和写作，所以B选项“乔的旅程：从冒险到教育”能概括全文内容，适合用作文章标题。故选B。 （七） （23-24高一上·浙江杭州·期中）“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish, by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”---Albert Einstein If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, you’re likely to have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and it means, combined with her communication and sight problems, that normal standard isn’t always an accurate measure of her abilities. By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student to give them much admiration and a high-five. I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence increase rapidly.” he said. All I could think was: how lucky these students are to have such good teachers. Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: wonderful. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done---she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase greatly. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmates trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try. I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all have. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success. 25．What does the author think of Albert Einstein’s saying? A．Funny. B．True. C．Strange. D．Confusing. 26．What can we learn about Syona’s teacher? A．She is Syona’s favorite teacher. B．She puts Einstein’s quote on the wall C．She uses videos to teach her students. D．She helps increase her students’ confidence. 27．What change has taken place in the author’s family? A．They’ve invited Ulmer’s students to their home. B．They visit Ulmer’s classroom regularly. C．They give each other praise every day. D．They feel thankful to people in their lives. 28．What is the author’s attitude towards Chris Ulmar’s way of teaching? A．Supportive B．Opposed C．Indifferent D．Negative 【答案】25．B 26．D 27．C 28．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲了作者的女儿患有脑瘫，在一位老师的帮助下，他的女儿增加了信心，可以和别人正常交流了，因此作者把这种特殊的教育方法用在家庭中，每天他们都会给彼此赞美。 25．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish, by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.(每个人都是天才。但是，如果你以爬树的能力来判断一条鱼，那么它一辈子都会认为自己很笨)”和第二段“My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and it means, combined with her communication and sight problems, that normal standard isn’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.(我5岁的女儿Syona患有脑瘫，这意味着，再加上她的沟通和视力问题，正常的标准并不总是对她能力的准确衡量)”和最后一段的“If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.(如果我们经常被提醒我们的优势，我们将对进步和成功越来越有信心)”可知，作者认为爱因斯坦说的这句话是非常正确的。故选B。 26．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence increase rapidly.” he said.(我不禁想起了Syona的老师，她以非常相似的方式支持每个孩子。Ulmer最近分享了一段他教学经历的视频。“我看到他们的信心迅速增强。”他说)”可知，Syona的老师帮助她的学生们增加了信心。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all have.(实际上，我想知道如果我们在家里像Ulmer那样对孩子，会有什么影响。最近，我们以提醒彼此我们都拥有的好品质开始了我们的一天)”可知，在作者家里发生的变化就是每天他们都会给彼此赞美。故选C。 28．推理判断题。根据第三段“By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student to give them much admiration and a high-five. I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way.(到目前为止，你可能听说过佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔26岁的老师克里斯·乌尔默(Chris Ulmer)，他在开始他的特殊教育课程时，会叫来每个学生，对他们表示钦佩，并与他们击掌。我不禁想起了Syona的老师，她是如何以非常相似的方式支持每个孩子的)”可知，作者提到自己想到了Syona的老师，她以非常相似的方式支持每个孩子，这表明作者对Chris Ulmar的教学方式是支持的。故选A项。 （八） （23-24高一上·河北石家庄·期中）The photographs that Scilla took as a 16-year-old girl on the streets of London in 1955 stayed largely in her album (相册) over the years. Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer. Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures. His journey through time with a camera has been especially moving, because his grandmother, Scilla, has Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) and has lost many of her memories. Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages. Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager. Philip said his mother showed him the album she had found at her mother’s house. Greatly absorbed in how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos. Some of the places are similar, like Big Ben. Others show how the city has modernized. Unlike Scilla’s view of St. Paul’s Cathedral from the Thames, Philip’s retake has the Millenium Bridge. When Scilla photographed the John Lewis store on Oxford Street, it was a one-storey building — now it has seven floors. Philip had to use his imagination to recreate other sights. Scilla has repeatedly returned to her new album since receiving it. Philip said: “It’s nice for her to see someone taking an interest in those photos and going back over them, and also good for her to connect her past to where we are now.” 29．What did Philip do for Scilla during the past year? A．He taught her how to use a camera. B．He took her to visit London streets. C．He found a new way to treat her disease. D．He recreated photos of London she had taken. 30．What influence did Philip’s work have on Scilla? A．It inspired her to take photos. B．It made her think of her teenage days. C．It encouraged her to travel across London. D．It raised her confidence to fight off illness. 31．What does the underlined word “absorbed” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Troubled. B．Interested. C．Experienced. D．Disappointed. 32．What is the best title of this passage? A．A teenager sensed the great changes of London. B．An old lady suffered a lot from Alzheimer’s disease. C．A teenager and his mother travelled to London for fun. D．A teenager’s photos helped recover his grandmother’s memory. 【答案】29．D 30．B 31．B 32．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。16岁的Philip Loveday为患有阿尔茨海默氏症的祖母Scilla重新拍摄伦敦街头的照片，唤醒了她少年时的记忆。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures.(在过去的一年里，16岁的Philip Loveday一直在首都重访祖母走过的路，仔细地重新拍摄这些照片)”和第三段中的“Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages.(Philip拍了一些新照片，看起来就像很久以前的那些，然后把它们放进了一本新相册里。Scilla的旧相册的每一页都被复制并放进新的相册里，菲利普的新照片在相反的两页上)”可知，过去一年，Philip去他外婆当年在伦敦拍过照的地方重新拍照，来更新她的相册。故选D。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager.(Philip的母亲Catherine Loveday说，Scilla对新专辑很满意，这张专辑让她回到了十几岁的时候)”可知，Philip的母亲说，看到外孙的作品后Scilla非常喜悦，想起了自己的少女时代。故选B。 31．词义猜测题。根据下划线所在句及下文“how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos.(……现代伦敦与祖母拍摄的城市的对比，Philip和他的妈妈开始到伦敦市中心旅行。在旅途中，他们有了重新拍摄照片的想法)”可知，Philip和他妈妈去伦敦市中心旅行是为了对比一下伦敦的现在与过去，拍摄了很多照片。说明他对伦敦过去的样子非常感兴趣。absorbed意为“感兴趣的”，故选B。 32．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer.(Scilla现在已经83岁了，她自己冲洗的黑白照片被一名十几岁的摄影师发现后，又重新焕发了生机)”以及第二、三段内容可知，Philip的祖母得了阿尔茨海默病，他去外婆16岁时拍过照的地方重拍照片，并做成相册送给她以唤起她的记忆。D项“一名少年的照片帮助他恢复了祖母的记忆”为最佳标题，故选D。 （九） （23-24高一上·湖南娄底·期中）As a college student in Boston, I formed the habit of buying used books. I enjoy the hunt, the good price and the unrecognized treasures. I find old textbooks, ex-bestsellers, and books on subjects I’ve never heard of but now I must learn all about. I don’t search for rare books, first editions, or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading. Rereading, for me, is a pleasure during retirement. The theater and the concert hall become less appealing to me, along with crowds. Staying alone and reading books have become extremely important to me. Literature needs the flesh of experience to have its full effect. Different books offer me insights and ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oyster — now shine like pearls. My taste in books improves with age. While packing for a move, which occurs at intervals of five to seven years, I clear my shelves and pick my books. I abandon a few, later regret my decisions, and look for them again. Several years ago, I got rid of books related to my job — architecture. Some were design guides, reference books, product catalogs, and things that went out of date. Some were historical or centered on a period or an architect. These had given me many hours of pleasure. Will I ever open their covers again? Certainly. I held on to the red bulk of Sir Banister Fletcher’s A History of Architecture and books on Paris, Rome, and Boston. I gave away drafting equipment and instruments. I threw out rolls and rolls of paper, and old drawings of projects completed long ago, some of which had even been damaged. This time, I stay put in a cottage that suits my status and I’ve moved on in spirit. No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade, like feathers changing with the seasons. 33．What does the author consider most important when choosing used books? A．Their appealing covers. B．Their reasonable prices. C．Their collection value. D．Their excellent content. 34．What does the author realize as he grows older? A．He has a deeper understanding of reading. B．His attitude towards work changes. C．His communication skills improve. D．He has a small circle of friends. 35．Why does the author mention books on architecture? A．To show some books are worth rereading. B．To explain his love for architecture. C．To suggest we avoid making poor decisions. D．To recommend Sir Banister Fletcher’s books. 36．What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph? A．He decides to stop throwing away used books. B．He will read more books that suit his interests. C．He will enlarge his collection of used books. D．He is bad at using advanced drafting equipment. 【答案】33．D 34．A 35．A 36．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文作者主要从购买二手书的经历、重新阅读的意义和不断更新自己的读物等几个方面说明阅读的重要性和意义。 33．细节理解题。根据第一段“I don’t search for rare books, first editions, or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading.(我不寻找珍本、初版或皮装帧的书，而是寻找值得一读的书)”可知，作者只寻找值得阅读的书，也就是说作者最看重的是书精彩的内容。故选D。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段“Different books offer me insights and ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oyster — now shine like pearls. My taste in books improves with age.(不同的书给了我不同的见解和表达方式，那些在我脑海里就像牡蛎里的沙粒一样的东西，现在却像珍珠一样闪闪发光。我对书的品味随着年龄的增长而提高)”可知，随着年龄的增大，作者对读书有了更深的理解。故选A。 35．推理判断题。根据第三段“I abandon a few, later regret my decisions, and look for them again.(我放弃了一些，后来后悔我的决定，并再次寻找他们)”以及“These had given me many hours of pleasure. Will I ever open their covers again? Certainly.(这些给了我许多小时的快乐。我还会再打开他们的封面吗？当然会)”可推知，作者提到建筑书籍的目的是想用亲身经历说明这些书值得再次阅读。故选A。 36．推理判断题。根据最后一段“No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade, like feathers changing with the seasons.(毫无疑问，随着激情的生长和消退，就像羽毛随着季节的变化而变化一样，我会买更多的旧书，也会扔掉更多的书)”可知，作者将读更多符合他兴趣的书。故选B。 （十） （23-24高一上·江苏南京·期中）Resting her phone on a stand and making the light more suitable, 49-year-old Lyu Min started her livestreaming session — her daily job during the COVID-19 outbreak. Dressed in a qipao, a traditional Chinese dress, Lyu started the livestreaming session from her workshop at 10 in the morning, sharing the art of making Chinese knots with many handicraft (手工艺) lovers. Lyu, an inheritor (继承人) of the art of making Chinese knots, which is listed as an intangible (非物质) cultural heritage, became a livestreaming host. “Though the sales of Chinese knots have dropped a lot, I’m still confident that I can get out of the trouble brought by the outbreak. I can make full use of this period to improve my skills and develop this traditional handicraft online,” she said. Lyu is quite new to the world of livestreaming, having bought all the necessary equipment (设备) after following her friends advice. She practises livestreaming every day and records a large number of educational videos. As face-to-face interaction is still impractical for many, even as the outbreak has been largely brought under control in China, she thinks livestreaming classes can meet more Chinese knot lovers’ needs to learn the handicraft. She has integrated the anti-epidemic spirit into her works, expressing the determination (决心) and confidence of the Chinese people to win against the COVID-19. “I love Wuhan, where I showed my works in 2019. Chinese knots are popular among many local people, and I made lots of friends there,” Lyu said. She designed a special Chinese knot to express her thanks to the medics who were sent to support Wuhan several months ago. She has more than 200 followers right now. There are more and more Chinese knot lovers on her online platform. She is using a length of colored string and determination to keep this traditional art of Chinese knots alive online and help more people understand the culture. 37．The underlined word “livestreaming” in Paragraph 1 is close to “_______”. A．sending out while happening B．equipment for recording videos C．sending out after recording D．equipment for making handicrafts 38．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

But is this true? In 2002, Britney Gallivan, then a junior in high school in Pomona, California, folded a single piece of paper in half 12 times. She currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most times to fold a sheet of paper in half. The prompt that led Gallivan to accomplish this was an extra-credit challenge in math class to fold anything in half 12 times. Her teacher asked the students to fold something thicker: a piece of paper. Gallivan said “it was very frustrating, as I had many unsuccessful attempts at trying to fold different papers in half. I began to question if folding paper in half more than eight times could be impossible.” However, Gallivan recalled. “I knew I needed to understand what was limiting the folding progression.” The equations (方程式) that Gallivan came up with calculated how many times a sheet of paper could be folded. She found that in order to fold many times, a long thin sheet is needed — the more a sheet is folded, the thicker the resulting stack becomes, and once the stack becomes thicker than it is long, there is nothing left to fold. She ultimately set her record with a sheet of tissue paper she found online that was 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) — more than three-quarters of a mile, or over a kilometer long, Guinness World Records noted. “Working on the problem took a tremendous amount of time and effort,” Gallivan said. “As frustrating as it was at times, I learned an immense amount from the experience, which has been valuable to me throughout my life in more capacities than one would expect.” Since Gallivan set her record, others have made claims of folding a sheet of paper more than 12 times. Still, “I anticipate that my current record will be surpassed,” Gallivan said. 41．What prompts Gallivan to accept the challenge? A．Peer pressure. B．Mathematics anxiety. C．Academic requirement. D．Guinness World Records. 42．Under what circumstances is it impossible to fold a paper in half more times? A．The stack is as thick as it’s long. B．The paper is neither long nor thin. C．The stack is thicker than it’s long. D．The paper is longer than it’s thick. 43．What can we learn about Gallivan’s attempts? A．It’s risky. B．It’s fruitless. C．It’s meaningless. D．It’s energy-consuming. 44．What can we infer from the passage? A．Gallivan’s record is impossible to break. B．Folding paper in half is merely a math problem. C．Folding things in half may not be limited to 12. D．Folding paper 12 times is a required credit in high schools. 【答案】41．C 42．C 43．D 44．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了加州12岁的学生将一张纸对折了12次，她目前保持着将一张纸对折次数最多的吉尼斯世界纪录。 41．细节理解题。根据第三段“The prompt that led Gallivan to accomplish this was an extra-credit challenge in math class to fold anything in half 12 times. Her teacher asked the students to fold something thicker: a piece of paper.(促使Gallivan完成这一任务的是数学课上的一个额外学分挑战，将任何东西对折12次。她的老师让学生们折叠一些更厚的东西：一张纸)”可知，促使Gallivan接受折纸挑战的是学术上的需要。故选C。 42．细节理解题。根据第五段中“She found that in order to fold many times, a long thin sheet is needed — the more a sheet is folded, the thicker the resulting stack becomes, and once the stack becomes thicker than it is long, there is nothing left to fold.(她发现，为了折叠多次，需要一张又长又薄的纸——一张纸被折叠的次数越多，叠起来的纸就越厚，一旦叠起来的纸厚超过了它的长度，就没有东西可以折叠了)”可知，一旦叠起来的纸厚度超过了它的长度就无法再折叠。故选C。 43．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“‘Working on the problem took a tremendous amount of time and effort,’ Gallivan said.(‘解决这个问题花费了大量的时间和精力，’Gallivan说)”可知，Gallivan的叠纸尝试非常耗费精力。故选D。 44．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since Gallivan set her record, others have made claims of folding a sheet of paper more than 12 times. Still, ‘I anticipate that my current record will be surpassed,’ Gallivan said.(自从Gallivan创造了她的记录，其他人声称折叠一张纸超过12次。不过，‘我预计我目前的纪录将被超越，’Gallivan说)”可知，Gallivan叠纸12次的记录可能被超越。由此推知，将东西对半折叠可能不限于12次。故选C。 （十二） （23-24高一上·浙江嘉兴·期中）I’m interested in the Renaissance (文艺复兴), so I like visiting ancient Italian cities. Ferrara is called City of the Renaissance. When I learned about this city on the Internet, I decided to pay a visit to it. The city has a certain charm, but I find it isn’t as great as other Italian cities like Verona, let alone Venice or Rome. The Michelin Green Guide gives it two stars, which is right. I first visited the city centre. The Cathedral and Castello Estense are at the heart of the city. Both have striking appearances. I visited the Cathedral first. Castello Estense is also worth visiting, which owes its name to the powerful Este family. It was built with bricks and surrounded by a moat (护城河). At the lower levels, the history of the city and the Este family are told through displays, and in another part the ceilings are shown through mirrors on the ground. In the north, we can appreciate the Renaissance extension of the town, with straight streets and monumental houses. The famous Palazzo dei Diamanti lies here. When I was visiting it, it started to rain, so after taking a few photos quickly, I cut my visit there short. It had been raining for a few days. When the rain ceased, I went to visit the historical centre and the Renaissance buildings. After leaving there, I visited several other interesting places such as palaces and the narrow streets of the downtown. After four hours in Ferrara I left by train to Mantua. There I had a much better time. 45．Why did the author pay a visit to Ferrara? A．Because it is related to the Renaissance. B．Because it is full of charm. C．Because it is a very famous city in Europe. D．Because it is strongly recommended by a website. 46．What did the author think of The Michelin Green Guide’s comment on Ferrara? A．Subjective. B．Reasonable. C．Unacceptable. D．Unbelievable. 47．How could Castello Estense probably get its name according to the text? A．It came from the historical buildings. B．It originated from the straight streets. C．It was named after the powerful Este family. D．It was connected to the surrounding moat. 48．What can we infer from the text? A．The writer thought Ferrara was as great as Venice. B．The writer visited Palazzo dei Diamanti for a long time. C．The writer was much more satisfied with the tour in Mantua than in Ferrara. D．The writer was disappointed with the visit to the Cathedral and Castello Estense. 【答案】45．A 46．B 47．C 48．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者记录了自己游览意大利古城——Ferrara的经历。 45．细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m interested in the Renaissance (文艺复兴), so I like visiting ancient Italian cities. Ferrara is called City of the Renaissance. (我对文艺复兴感兴趣，所以我喜欢参观意大利古城。Ferrara被称为文艺复兴之城)”可知，作者对文艺复兴感兴趣，而Ferrara被称为文艺复兴之城，也就是Ferrara和文艺复兴有关，所以作者去这个地方参观，故选A。 46．推理判断题。根据第二段“The city has a certain charm, but I find it isn’t as great as other Italian cities like Verona, let alone Venice or Rome. The Michelin Green Guide gives it two stars, which is right.(这个城市有某种魅力，但我发现它并不像Verona这样的意大利城市那么伟大，更不用说Venice和Rome了。The Michelin Green Guide给它两颗星，这是正确的) ”可知，作者认为Ferrara比不上意大利的很多地方，在这旅行的体验不是太好，所以作者认为The Michelin Green Guide对Ferrara的评价是正确的，合理的，故选B。 47．细节理解题。根据第三段“Castello Estense is also worth visiting, which owes its name to the powerful Este family. (Castello Estense也值得一看，它的名字源于强大的埃斯特家族)”可知，Castello Estense是以强大的埃斯特家族命名的。故选C。 48．推理判断题。根据最后一段“After four hours in Ferrara I left by train to Mantua. There I had a much better time.(在Ferrara呆了四个小时后，我乘火车去了Mantua。在那里我度过了更好的时光)”可知，作者对在Mantua的旅行比在Ferrara的旅行更满意，故选C。 （十三） （23-24高一上·浙江杭州·期中）A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck. The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year’s Eve to collect firewood. Expecting a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just long johns(衬裤), a shirt and slippers when he went outside, although the temperature was around -4℃. After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey came to his assistance. “I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was10:30 pm,” Bob explained. “But my Kelsey came. By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help, but Kelsey didn’t stop barking.” Kelsey’s companion kept him warm by lying on top of him. She licked his face and hands to keep him awake. “Kelsey kept barking but never left my side,” Bob recalled. “She kept me warm. I knew I couldn’t give up and that it was my choice to stay alive.” Bob spent 20 hours in the freezing cold. When he finally lost consciousness, his dog kept barking. Finally, hearing the barking, Bob’s neighbor discovered him at 6: 30 pm on New Year’s Day and called the emergency services at once. When Bob arrived in hospital, his body temperature was below 21℃. However, doctors were surprised to find that he didn’t have any frostbite(冻疮). They believed it was because of Kelsey’s determination to keep him warm. Dr. Chaim Colen, the doctor who treated Bob, said, “Animals can help and his dog really saved him… He was very fortunate. Bob said he was “enormously” grateful to both Dr. Colen and his Kelsey. “They saved my life. They are truly heroes!” 49．What happened to Bob on New Year’s Eve? A．He left his dog alone in his farmhouse. B．He was praised for saving a dog owner. C．He heard his neighbor’s shouting for help. D．He broke his neck and couldn’t move. 50．Why did Kelsey keep barking? A．To keep Bob warm. B．To stay alive. C．To keep Bob awake. D．To seek help from others. 51．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Neck-breaking Accident B．The Magic Night in Snow C．Warmth on a Winter’s Night D．Determination to Keep Alive 【答案】49．D 50．D 51．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一只名叫Kelsey的狗帮助救了在雪地里滑倒并摔断脖子的主人。 49．细节理解题。根据第一段“A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck.(一只名叫Kelsey的五岁小狗因帮助救了主人的命而被誉为英雄，主人在雪地里滑倒并摔断了脖子。)”、第二段中的“The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year’s Eve to collect firewood.(这名男子名叫Bob，在新年前夕离开密歇根州的农舍去拾柴时，他独自一人。)”和第三段中的“After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow.(事故发生后，他在雪地里动弹不得。)”可知，新年前夕Bob离开农舍去拾柴，他在雪地里滑倒，摔断了脖子，事故发生后，他在雪地里动弹不得。故选D。 50．推理判断题。根据第四段中Bob的话“I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was10:30 pm(我大声呼救，但我最近的邻居在400米外，而且当时是晚上10点30分。)”和“But my Kelsey came. By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help, but Kelsey didn’t stop barking.(但我的Kelsey来了。第二天早上，我的声音消失了，我无法大声呼救，但Kelsey没有停止吠叫。)”以及第六段中的“When he finally lost consciousness, his dog kept barking. Finally, hearing the barking, Bob’s neighbor discovered him at 6: 30 pm on New Year’s Day and called the emergency services at once.(当他最终失去意识时，他的狗不停地吠叫。最后，Bob的邻居听到了吠叫声，在新年下午6:30发现了他，并立即拨打了急救电话。)”可推测出，Kelsey一直吠叫是为了寻求帮助。故选D。 51．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck.(一只名叫Kelsey的五岁小狗因帮助救了主人的命而被誉为英雄，主人在雪地里滑倒并摔断了脖子。)”、第五段中的“Kelsey’s companion kept him warm by lying on top of him.

However, doctors were surprised to find that he didn’t have any frostbite(冻疮). They believed it was because of Kelsey’s determination to keep him warm.(然而，医生惊讶地发现他没有冻伤。他们认为这是因为Kelsey决心给他保暖。)”可知，本文主要讲述一只小狗在寒冷的雪地救了主人，她在寒冷的新年前夕给受伤的主人保暖，使得主人免遭不测。由此可推测出，C项“一个冬夜里的温暖”最适合作本文标题。故选C。 （十四） （23-24高一上·江西上饶·期中）It was one week before Teachers’ Day.

After years of treatment (治疗), she finally became healthy. Two years ago, while Jane was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head — to be a swimmer. She practiced hard and finally joined the local swimming team. The team practice, however, was a difficult start. She coughed for her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing heavily one night, I decided to pull her from it all. But Jane woke me up early the next morning, wearing her swimsuit ready to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she just refused to rest at home. From that day on, Jane kept swimming and didn’t miss any practice. She wanted to be the best swimmer someday. My girl was growing and changing right before my eyes into this strong-minded person. There are moments when she felt upset of course — often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Jane to accept that she wasn’t a winner ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying. Then came the final awards ceremony (颁奖仪式) at the end of the year. Jane didn’t expect any award but was still there for her friends. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach (教练) saying loudly, “The highest honor (荣誉) goes to Jane!” It was the greatest moment of my daughter’s life.

But Mr. Fritz has spent his working life reintroducing the birds into the wild, and an extremely important part has been teaching the young the migration (迁徙) path. When Mr. Friz decided to lead the migration in a plane, he was laughed at. But in 2004, three years after some experiments, Mr. Fritz flew an ultralight plane slowly enough for his winged students to catch up, and led the first group from Austria to Italy. He has since led 15 such migrations. Over that time, he has rewilded 277 young ibises, many of which then started to pass the path on to their own young. But the path he taught the ibises before is no longer workable. With climate change warming the lakes where the birds summer, they now delay (推迟) their migration to November, one month later than they did just a decade ago. And they are now reaching the Alps too late to make it over the peaks (山峰) because the rising warm air flows were too weak by November to allow the birds to fly over the mountains. Determined to save them, Mr. Fritz decided he would teach the birds a new, safer migration path. The new path is about three times as long as their former 800 miles one directly south to Tuscany, Italy. Flying at a highest speed of 25 miles per hour, the trip is expected to take about six weeks, instead of the two to reach Tuscany. At Lake Constance this summer, humans and birds were practicing for their long journey. Soon, they’ll fly to Andalusia in Spain, dealing with unpredictable weather along the way. But the risks are “necessary,” Mr. Fritz said. “It’s not so much a job,” he added, “but my life’s purpose.” 62．What happened to the ibises when Mr. Fritz was born? A．They had been trained to fly. B．They had been rewilded in Italy. C．They were migrating naturally. D．They were no longer seen in the wild. 63．Why do the ibises need to learn a new migration path? A．They have forgotten the old path. B．The path they took before is longer. C．The Alps is impassable for the delayed migration. D．The changing climate has warmed the mountains. 64．What can we know about the ibises’ new migration path? A．It is higher than before. B．It takes about two weeks. C．It leads directly to Tuscany. D．It is about 2,400 miles long. 65．Which of the following can best describe Mr. Fritz? A．Inspiring but inexperienced. B．Responsible but emotional. C．Determined and creative. D．Observant and outgoing. 【答案】62．D 63．C 64．D 65．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了奥地利生物学家约翰内斯·弗里茨教导北方秃鹮重新迁徙的故事。 62．细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, was born 56 years ago, the northern bald ibis had disappeared completely from the wild and could only be found in zoos. (当奥地利生物学家约翰内斯·弗里茨56年前出生时，北方秃鹮已经从野外完全消失，只能在动物园里找到)”可知，当弗里茨出生的时候，在野外已经看不到北方秃鹮了。故选D。 63．推理判断题。根据第三段中“With climate change warming the lakes where the birds summer, they now delay (推迟) their migration to November, one month later than they did just a decade ago. And they are now reaching the Alps too late to make it over the peaks (山峰) because the rising warm air flows were too weak by November to allow the birds to fly over the mountains.(随着气候变化使鸟类避暑的湖泊变暖，它们现在将迁徙推迟到11月，比十年前晚了一个月。它们现在到达阿尔卑斯山脉已经太晚了，无法飞越山峰，因为到11月，上升的暖空气流太弱，无法让鸟类飞越山峰)”可知，气候变化延迟了鸟类的迁徙时间，它们现在到达阿尔卑斯山脉已经太晚了，因此无法飞越阿尔卑斯山脉。由此推知，阿尔卑斯山对延迟迁徙来说是无法通行的。故选C。 64．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The new path is about three times as long as their former 800 miles one directly south to Tuscany, Italy. Flying at a highest speed of 25 miles per hour, the trip is expected to take about six weeks, instead of the two to reach Tuscany.(新路径是以前直接通往意大利托斯卡纳地区的800英里路径的3倍长。以每小时25英里的最高速度飞行，预计整个旅程将需要大约六个星期，而不是到达托斯卡纳只需两个星期)”可知，新路线是以前直接通往意大利托斯卡纳地区的800英里路径的3倍长，即它大约有2400英里长。故选D。 65．推理判断题。根据第二段中“When Mr. Friz decided to lead the migration in a plane, he was laughed at. But in 2004, three years after some experiments, Mr. Fritz flew an ultralight plane slowly enough for his winged students to catch up, and led the first group from Austria to Italy. (当弗里茨决定乘坐飞机带领鸟类迁徙时，他遭到了嘲笑。但在2004年，在进行了一些实验三年后，弗里茨驾驶一架超轻型飞机的速度慢到足以让他有翅膀的学生赶上，并带领第一批鸟从奥地利飞往意大利)”以及倒数第二段中“Determined to save them, Mr. Fritz decided he would teach the birds a new, safer migration path. (为了拯救它们，弗里茨决定教它们一条新的、更安全的迁徙路线)”可知，当弗里茨决定乘坐飞机带领鸟类迁徙时，他遭到了嘲笑，但是他依旧坚定信念，坚持实验最终成功地拯救了鸟儿，由此体现出他是意志坚定的人；同时弗里茨决心拯救这些稀有鸟类时，他想出了一个新的更安全的迁徙路线，由此体现出他有创造力。由此推知，弗里茨是一个有坚定意志和有创造力的人。故选C。 （十七） （23-24高一上·云南德宏·期中）Ma Long, born in Anshan, Liaoning, the “home of table tennis”, was sent by his father to practise table tennis when he was 5 years old, and he went to Shenyang at the age of 11. At 15, Ma Long joined the national team. Although he was the least talkative boy of the players, his perseverance (坚持不懈) was as great as his overall strength in table tennis. In 2006, at 18, Ma Long, together with his teammates, won a team world championship. His daily routine was a two-point line between the dormitory and the training hall, and he was the first to arrive and the last to leave on a daily basis. He had been doing so for ten years. His coach Liu Guoliang once said, “I went to the table tennis hall on a Sunday morning for an unannounced inspection (突击检查) to see how many players were training on Sunday. Only one person in the men’s first team was there. A genius (天才) is not your fear, but your fear is that a genius works harder than you do.” Such a genius is Ma Long. However, after joining the team for nearly a decade, he suffered various types of failure. At that time, Zhang Jike, another top player, returned to the national team. From then on, Zhang was so invincible that he achieved the personal Grand Slam (大满贯) within only 445 days. Seeing Zhang’s achievements, Ma Long, at the lowest point, had the idea of retiring. But he was unwilling to just “disappear”. Then came the Suzhou 2015 World Championship, Ma Long crowned his career, winning the singles champion. 66．What can we know about Ma Long in Paragraph 1? A．He was an outgoing and sociable person. B．He won the first world single championship at 18. C．He started to practise at 5 without his parents. D．He stood out for his determination and professional skills. 67．What can we infer about Ma Long according to Liu Guoliang? A．Years of training saw his loneliness. B．He was tired and under inspection every day. C．Hardship and fears beat him. D．The road to fame was never smooth but rather tough. 68．What does the underlined word “invincible” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Unbelievable. B．Matchless. C．Selfless. D．Unbearable. 69．What is the suitable title for the text? A．Ma Long: Pain Is Worthy of a Champion B．Ma Long: Victory Is Worthy of Focus of Attention C．Ma Long: Glory Will Fade Away D．Ma Long: Chance Prefers the Genius 【答案】66．D 67．D 68．B 69．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍的是马龙的成名之路以及他为此付出的努力。 66．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Although he was the least talkative boy of the players, his perseverance (坚持不懈) was as great as his overall strength in table tennis.(虽然他是运动员中最不爱说话的男孩，但他的毅力和他在乒乓球场上的整体实力一样强大。)”可知，在第一段中我们能了解到马龙以他的决心和专业技能脱颖而出，故选D。 67．推理判断题。根据第二段的““I went to the table tennis hall on a Sunday morning for an unannounced inspection (突击检查) to see how many players were training on Sunday. Only one person in the men’s first team was there. A genius (天才) is not your fear, but your fear is that a genius works harder than you do.” Such a genius is Ma Long.(“一个周日早上，我突然来到乒乓球馆，看看有多少球员在周日训练。男子一队中只有一个人在场。天才不是你的恐惧，你的恐惧是天才比你更努力。”这样的天才就是马龙。)”可知，根据刘国梁的说法，马龙的成名之路从来不是平坦的，而是艰难的。故选D。 68．词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“he achieved the personal Grand Slam (大满贯) within only 445 days(他只用了445天就完成了个人大满贯)”可知，张继科很无敌，因此invincible意为“无敌的”，和matchless意思相近，故选B。 69．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“A genius (天才) is not your fear, but your fear is that a genius works harder than you do.(天才不是你怕，而你怕的是天才比你更努力。)”和“Such a genius is Ma Long.(这样的天才就是马龙。)”和最后一段的“Then came the Suzhou 2015 World Championship, Ma Long crowned his career, winning the singles champion.(紧接着是2015年苏州世锦赛，马龙为自己的职业生涯加冕，赢得了单打冠军。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是马龙的成名之路以及他为此付出的努力，因此最恰当的题目是A选项“Ma Long: Pain Is Worthy of a Champion(马龙：痛苦配得上冠军)”，故选A。 （十八） （23-24高一上·山东青岛·期中）Every morning at 5 am when most people are asleep, a figure would be busy in the kitchen, cooking meals until the rest of the volunteers arrive. Day in and day out, Mr Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island. His journey started when one of his neighbors, Lisa, asked him to collect vegetables and give them away at Bukit Ho Swee, a poor and less-privileged neighbourhood, and thus, he continued to do so for a period of time. During one of these visits, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. Asked why, one replied that she could not cook, so she only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal sparked Willing Hearts, which has since served about 650,000 meals. The soup kitchen sees many volunteers, some of whom are new, while others have been around since the organisation’s early days. They learn how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, they will form a strong tie with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to make “the country’s backyard” known to the younger generation, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors. As a non-profit organisation, Willing Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not faze Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress. He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organisation’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand. 70．What does Willing Hearts do? A．It collects vegetables. B．It delivers rice to the poor. C．It helps the elderly to cook. D．It makes meals for the needy. 71．What is the biggest harvest for volunteers? A．Cooking skills. B．Learning languages. C．Working experience. D．Connecting with people. 72．What does the underlined word “faze” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Satisfy. B．Trouble. C．Hurt. D．Push. 73．What is the text mainly about? A．Mr Tay and his wife. B．Ways of helping others. C．Importance of volunteering. D．Stories behind Willing Hearts. 【答案】70．D 71．D 72．B 73．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了每天早上5点，当大多数人还在睡觉时，Mr Tay和他的团队就开始在厨房忙碌，准备、烹饪、打包并将食物送到岛上各个地方。这一切始于邻居Lisa请求他收集蔬菜并分发给Bukit Ho Swee的贫困居民。 70．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Day in and day out, Mr Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island.(泰先生和他的团队日复一日地准备、烹饪、包装食物并运送到岛上的各个地方。) 根据最后一段“He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organisation’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand.”（他称“心之志”的志愿者是该组织的眼睛和耳朵，因为他们总是在寻找穷人伸出援助之手。）可知，Wiling Hearts为穷人提供食物。故答案为D。 71．细节理解题，根据文章第三段的“The soup kitchen sees many volunteers, some of whom are new, while others have been around since the organisation’s early days. They learn how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, they will form a strong tie with one another. (施粥场有许多志愿者，其中一些是新来的，而另一些则是该组织成立之初就有的。他们学习如何烹饪，与各行各业的人互动，学习不同的语言，获得更多关于社会问题的知识，最重要的是，他们彼此建立牢固的联系。)可知，志愿者最大的收获是与人联系。故答案为D。 72．词句猜测题，根据文章最后一段的“A As a non-profit organisation, Willing Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not faze Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress. (作为一个非盈利组织，Wiling Hearts在很大程度上依赖于捐赠和食品募捐。然而，这并没有让泰先生faze。他认为，你必须让事情逐渐发展，不要被那些制造不必要压力的担忧所阻止。)”可知，尽管这个非盈利组织主要依靠捐赠，但是Tay认为必须让事情逐渐发展，不要被那些制造不必要压力的担忧所阻止，因此推断这件事不让他烦恼，因此推断faze的意思是“使烦恼”。故答案为B。 73．主旨大意题，根据文章最后一段的“As a non-profit organisation, Willing Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not faze Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress. He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organisation’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand. (作为一个非盈利组织, Wiling Hearts在很大程度上依赖于捐赠和食品捐赠。然而，这并没有让泰先生感到不安。他认为，你必须让事情逐渐发展，不要被那些制造不必要压力的担忧阻止。他称呼Willing Hearts的志愿者为这个组织的眼睛和耳朵，因为他们总是在寻找穷人伸出援助之手。) 可知本文主要进述了Wiling Heats作为一个非盈利组织帮助穷人的故事。故答案为D。 （十九） （23-24高一上·河南南阳·期中）Recently, video clips of Zhang Jianna, a city cleaner from Chaoyang Sanitation (环境卫生), have gone viral online. The 49-year-old Zhang is from a village in Hebei province. With only a high school diploma, she had previously worked as a restaurant server and a store seller. In 2012, she took on the role of a sanitation worker in the embassy area of Sanlitun in Beijing’s Chaoyang District. One morning, a foreigner came to her and spoke a long string of unfamiliar words to her. Zhang didn’t know how to react. The special experience deeply moved Zhang and she was determined (下定决心) to learn English. “I just want to help whenever someone is in need,” said Zhang. Without a teacher, she began learning English from her children’s textbooks, starting with basic words and phrases. With no fixed study hours, she used every free moment. While others rested, she memorized vocabulary and practiced speaking. Upon arriving home after work, she would note down new knowledge points and review them until thoroughly understood. “Learning English at 40, I would easily forget the words I learned the previous day,” Zhang said. However, she persisted (坚持), reviewing words at night and then repeating them one more time the next day morning. She also downloaded over a dozen English learning apps on her computer and phone. “Learn step by step, learn every day.” Zhang said. To date, she has collected a vocabulary of around 3,000 English words, enabling her to talk fluently with foreigners. “Growing up without a college education, I sometimes feared being looked down upon. But every time I help a stranger in English, I feel incredibly achievable.” “To serve others makes me happy and it’s where I prove my self-worth,” said Zhang. “After retirement, I also want to introduce my hometown in English and develop local tourism.” 74．What do we know about Zhang Jianna from paragraph 2? A．She graduated from a university. B．She understood the foreigner’s words. C．She wants to be an English teacher. D．She works as a sanitation worker. 75．For what reason can Zhang learn English well?

D．Determined. 【答案】74．D 75．B 76．D 77．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了朝阳环卫城市清洁工张建娜的视频在网络上疯传，她在40岁时努力自学英语，如今49岁的她能够流利地和外国人交流，这让她在服务别人的同时证明了自己的价值。 74．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In 2012, she took on the role of a sanitation worker in the embassy area of Sanlitun in Beijing’s Chaoyang District.(2012年，她在北京朝阳区三里屯使馆区担任环卫工人。)”可知，她是一名环卫工人。故选D。 75．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The 49-year-old Zhang is from a village in Hebei province.(49岁的张来自河北省的一个村庄。)”和第四段中的“‘Learning English at 40, I would easily forget the words I learned the previous day,’ Zhang said. However, she persisted (坚持), reviewing words at night and then repeating them one more time the next day morning.(张说：‘40岁学英语，我很容易忘记前一天学的单词。’然而，她坚持了下来，晚上复习单词，第二天早上再重复一遍。)”可推测出，长达十年的坚持学习让她学好了英语。故选B。 76．推理判断题。根据画线句前面的“To serve others makes me happy and it’s where I prove my self-worth(为他人服务让我快乐，这也是我证明自我价值的地方)”可知，她在用英语帮助陌生人时证明了自己的价值，再结合画线句“After retirement, I also want to introduce my hometown in English and develop local tourism.(退休后，我也想用英语介绍我的家乡，发展当地的旅游业。)”可知，她想要在退休后用英语介绍家乡，帮助发展家乡的旅游业。她实现了自我价值，想要从一个平凡的环卫工人转变为一个帮助家乡旅游业发展的人，由此可推测，她鼓舞人心的经历引导她树立了新的目标。故选D。 77．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The special experience deeply moved Zhang and she was determined (下定决心) to learn English.(这段特殊的经历深深触动了张，她下定决心要学习英语。)”和第四段中的“However, she persisted (坚持), reviewing words at night and then repeating them one more time the next day morning.(然而，她坚持了下来，晚上复习单词，第二天早上再重复一遍。)”可知，她下定决心学习英语，并且刻苦学习，日复一日地坚持了下来，由此可推测出，她是一个很有决心的人。故选D。 （二十） （23-24高一上·山东日照·期中）13-year-old Ava Dorsey is the founder of Ava’s Pet Palace, a business that sells organic dog and cat treats.“I actually had the idea when I was six with a picture I drew of a palace,”she says.It was a detailed design for dogs and cats and she had serious plans to build it one day.

Rides broke down. Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply... All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday. But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees. He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amusement park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amusement park proposal that he presented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as fortunate setback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected. The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called "Disneyland". The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park. Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28, 154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success. Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down. 82．What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amusement park? A．His ambition to expand beyond the movie industry. B．His animators’ suggestion on an entertainment plan. C．His wish to create a better place for family recreation. D．His daughters’ unpleasant experience in the Griffith Park. 83．By “Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate setback” in paragraph 3, the author means the rejection ________. A．brought good luck to Disney and his park B．contributed to the difficulty of opening the park C．was viewed as a financial obstacle to the design of the park D．presented Disney with a favorable opportunity to rethink his plan 84．What can be learned about Disneyland from the passage? A．Everything went on smoothly before it opened. B．It spent $5 million on advertising for its opening. C．People’s enthusiasm for it increased despite criticism. D．Only invited guests could get into it on its opening day. 85．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Disneyland: How It All Began B．Disneyland: An Overnight Success C．Disneyland: How It Developed D．Disneyland: A Park with a Long History 【答案】82．C 83．D 84．C 85．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了迪士尼乐园是如何开始的。 82．推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees.(迪士尼不喜欢他们经常参观的游乐园，认为它们肮脏、缺乏想象力，由粗鲁的员工经营)”和第三段第一句“He thought he could do better. (他认为他可以做得更好)”可知，他希望创造一个更好的家庭娱乐场所，这导致沃尔特·迪士尼计划建造自己的游乐园。故选C。 83．词句猜测题。根据第三段划线句后“By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected.(到目前为止，他对主题公园的梦想已经超出了伯班克现有的空间。他搜索了整个南加州的位置。一个160英亩的在洛杉矶南部22英里的橘子园很快被选中)”可知，在被拒绝后，他对游乐园进行了更好的改造。由此可知，划线句是说这次拒绝为迪士尼提供了一个重新考虑计划的有利机会。故选D。 84．细节理解题。根据倒第二段“After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn't listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success.(在疯狂的开放日之后，迪士尼和他的新乐园受到了媒体的批评。媒体预测这场战争将很快结束。但是公众并没有听从。大批游客蜂拥而至，几周之内，迪斯尼乐园就大获成功)”可知，尽管受到批评，但人们对它的热情却与日俱增。故选C。 85．主旨大意题。根据第二段“But Disney's story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called‘Daddy's Day’.(但迪士尼的故事实际上开始于20年前沃尔特·迪士尼所谓的‘爸爸节’)”可知，文章主要是讲迪士尼乐园的开始。故选A。 （二十二） （23-24高一上·广东广州·期中）The Catnapper Mystery Cody, the catnapper, had a talent for taking cats from trees, yards, and porches. He’d keep them until their owners paid for their return. One day, Milly’s kitten Mousie was missing. Milly accused Cody. “No way!” said Detective Denny. “I saw Cody catch a train to Planters Plain this morning. Mousie can’t have been kidnapped by Cody!” “There are no paw prints on my lawn,” noted Milly. “Mousie didn’t just run off!” “And there are no sneaker prints,” said Detective Denny. “Cody only wears sneakers.” Then he noticed tiny holes in the grass that looked like they were made by high-heeled shoes. Denny pulled out a pencil. He was very careful as he measured the holes. “Half a pencil deep! Only Patty Perry’s Pet Shop wears heels that high and thin.” Milly and Detective Denny ran to Patty’s, where a man was loading pets into a van. “Where are these animals going?” asked Milly. “To Carter’s Cats in Planters Plain,” he replied. “Where is Patty Perry?” asked Detective Denny. “She had to catch a train,” said the man. “Hmmm,” thought Denny. “Cody’s full name is Cody Carter. Sounds like Carter’s Cats! And he’s on a train to Planters Plain.” Denny figured Patty would sell the cats and then Cody would steal them back. Only this time, Patty made the snatch(抢夺). “They resell the cats in Planters Plain,” he realized, “and split the money!” “Sounds illegal!” said the man with the van. The Planters Plain police met the train and took the catnappers straight to prison. Best of all, the cats in captivity, including Milly’s Mousie, were returned to their owners. 86．Milly accused Cody of taking her cat because ________. A．Cody was a detective B．Cody had a van C．Cody was a catnapper D．Cody owned a pet shop 87．The clue that helped Detective Denny most was ________.

B．Cody, known for catnapping, is wrongly accused by Milly, but Detective Denny discovers the true criminal, Patty Perry. C．The man with the van is arrested for transporting animals illegally, leading to the return of the kidnapped cats, including Milly’s Mousie. D．Detective Denny investigates the disappearance of Milly’s kitten, leading to the uncovering of a catnapping plan involving Cody and Patty Perry. 【答案】86．C 87．A 88．B 89．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了侦探Denny查明究竟谁绑架了小猫Mousie的故事。 86．推理判断题。根据第一段的“Cody, the catnapper, had a talent for taking cats from trees, yards, and porches. He’d keep them until their owners paid for their return.(偷猫者Cody有从树上、院子里和门廊里抓猫的天赋。他会一直养着它们，直到它们的主人付钱才归还)”推知，因为Cody常常绑架猫并要求主人付钱才归还，Millie才指控他偷了自己的猫Mousie。故选C。 87． 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Then he noticed tiny holes in the grass that looked like they were made by high-heeled shoes. Denny pulled out a pencil. He was very careful as he measured the holes. ‘Half a pencil deep!

Mousie can’t have been kidnapped by Cody!”(米莉指责科迪。“决不！”丹尼警探说。“今天早上我看到科迪乘火车前往种植园。Mousie不可能是被科迪绑架的！)”可知，侦探Denny调查米莉小猫的失踪，以及第三段“Then he noticed tiny holes in the grass that looked like they were made by high-heeled shoes. Denny pulled out a pencil. He was very careful as he measured the holes. ‘Half a pencil deep! Only Patty Perry’s Pet Shop wears heels that high and thin.’(然后他注意到草上的小洞，看起来像是高跟鞋留下的。丹尼拿出一支铅笔。他非常仔细地量了孔。‘半铅笔深!只有帕蒂·佩里的宠物店才有这么高又薄的高跟鞋。’)”结合下文讲述他们去了帕蒂·佩里的宠物店后发现了事情的来龙去脉可知，可知，文章的主旨大意是侦探Denny调查米莉小猫的失踪，导致科迪和帕蒂·佩里参与绑架猫计划被揭露。故选D。 （二十三） （23-24高一上·江苏泰州·期中）Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for living. One night, I took a fare (出租车乘客) at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, sanding on the side way was a small woman in her 80s with a big suitcase. After I helped her into the taxi she gave me an address and asked, “Could you drive through downtown?” “It is not the shortest way,” I answered quickly. “I don’t mind,” She said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I looked in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). Her eyes were wet. I quietly reached over and shut off he meter (计价器). “What route would you like me to take?” I asked. For the next two hours, we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newly married. She had me stop in front of a shabby house, where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she asked me to slow in front of a particular building and sat staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.” We drove in silence to the destination. It was a grey low building. “How much do I owe you?” She asked, reaching into her purse. “Nothing,” I said. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held on to me tightly and whispered a “Thank you”. I squeezed her hand and walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I didn’t pick up any more passengers, but drove aimlessly, lost in thought. What if that woman had come across an impatient driver? What if I had refused to drive through downtown? Great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one. 90．What caused the author to shut off the meter? A．His distrust of the fare. B．His pity for the woman. C．The breakdown of the meter. D．The cold weather at midnight. 91．What was the aim of the women’s ride downtown? A．To find a place to settle down.

I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I looked in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). Her eyes were wet. I quietly reached over and shut off he meter (计价器). (她说，‘我不急。我要去临终安养院。’我看了看后视镜。她的眼睛湿润了。我悄悄地把手伸过去，关掉了计价器)”可知，这位老太太要独自一人去临终安养院，她的内心是非常悲戚的，出于对她的同情，作者关掉了计价器，想给她一些温暖。故选B。 91．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“For the next two hours, we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newly married. She had me stop in front of a shabby house, where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she asked me to slow in front of a particular building and sat staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

Labor Day also informally marks the end of summer. Many students return to school after Labor Day. The hot days of summer turn cooler. Many Americans celebrate the holiday with an outdoor family picnic. But Labor Day started with a struggle. On May 1, 1889, workers demonstrated on the streets of Paris, France. International Labor Day was born. Most industrialized countries in the world—except the United States and Canada—celebrate Labor Day on the first of May. On September 5, 1882, in New York City. About 10,000 workers walked through the streets to show the strength of organized labor. For many years after that, American workers used the first Monday in September to ask for better working conditions and pay. Music was a part of many of those marches. Labor songs traditionally tell stories of conflict (冲突) and hopes for a better life. Many traditional American labor songs came from workers in the coal mines of the South. Mine owners were bitterly against workers’ unions (工会). In Kentucky, company police searched for union leaders. They waited outside a worker’s home for several days to stop him from organizing. The coal miner’s wife, Florence Reece, stayed inside with her children. She wrote this song, “Which Side Are You On?” Another American labor song is called “Bread and Roses.” It is based on a poem by James Oppenheim, published in December of 1911. The poem speaks about the women’s labor movement. At that time, conditions in factories, where many women worked, were horrible. A fire at a clothing factory in New York killed 146 people. A month after Oppenheim’s poem was published, textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts went on strike, which won them higher pay and better working conditions. Oppenheim’s poem gained more attention. 95．What does Labor Day mean to students in the United States? A．It’s a time to eat in the wild. B．Their summer vacation is over.

Many students return to school after Labor Day.(劳动节也非正式地标志着夏天的结束。许多学生在劳动节后返校)”可知，许多学生在夏末时的劳动节后返回学校，即劳动节的到来意味着学生们的暑假要结束了。故选B。 96．词义猜测题。根据第三段中“But Labor Day started with a struggle. On May 1, 1889, workers demonstrated on the streets of Paris, France. International Labor Day was born.(但劳动节始于一场斗争。在1889年五月一日，工人们在法国巴黎的街道上demonstrated。国际劳动节就此诞生)”可知，这里介绍劳动节的诞生由来，工人们通过一种行为来斗争，来获取正当权益，联系下一段“On September 5, 1882, in New York City. About 10,000 workers walked through the streets to show the strength of organized labor. For many years after that, American workers used the first Monday in September to ask for better working conditions and pay. Music was a part of many of those marches.(在1882年九月五日的纽约城里。约10000名工人走过大街来展示工会的力量。在那之后的多年里，美国工人都在九月的第一个星期天要求更好的工作条件和薪资。音乐也是那些游行中的一部分)”的描述，显然工人们是通过上街游行的方式来表达诉求，划线词与marched是同义词。故选C。 97．细节理解题。根据第五段中“In Kentucky, company police searched for union leaders. They waited outside a worker’s home for several days to stop him from organizing.(在肯塔基，雇佣警察会寻找工会领导。他们在工人的家门外等了好几天，以阻止他去组织游行)”可知，公司雇用的警察在工人的家门口等待，是为了阻止他组织游行，与D选项描述相符。故选D。 98．推理判断题。根据第七、八段的内容“The poem speaks about the women’s labor movement. At that time, conditions in factories, where many women worked, were horrible. A fire at a clothing factory in New York killed 146 people.(这首诗歌讲述了女性劳工的运动。在那时，有许多女性在其中工作的工厂情况都很糟糕。一家纽约的服装厂发生大火，146人丧生)”和“A month after Oppenheim’s poem was published, textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts went on strike, which won them higher pay and better working conditions. Oppenheim’s poem gained more attention.(Oppenheim的诗歌出版一个月后，马萨诸塞州劳伦斯市的纺织工人举行罢工，这为他们赢得了更高的工资和更好的工作条件。Oppenheim的诗也获得了更多的关注)”可知，这首名为“面包和玫瑰”的美国劳工歌曲是根据Oppenheim 1911年12月发表的一首诗改编的，主要讲的是妇女的劳工运动，许多女性劳工在其鼓舞下，勇敢地奋起抗争以争取正当权益，这反映出Oppenheim是关心劳动妇女权利的。故选A。 （二十五） （23-24高一上·上海·期中）Zhang Daqian was born in 1899 in Sichuan province. Brought up in an artistic family, Zhang was first taught to paint by his mother and older siblings. He went on to copy as many masterpieces as he could set his eyes on, and was especially influenced by the individualistic masters Shitao (石涛) and Bada Shanren (八大山人). In the early 1940s, Zhang spent two years studying the Buddhist mural paintings at Dunhuang, which proved to be a crucial experience in his artistic development. In particular, Zhang’s works are noteworthy for the many painting styles that he mastered, from highly meticulous (注意细节的) and detailed portraits to bold and expressive splashed-ink landscapes (泼墨风景画). While he was highly innovative as he developed his own unique style, he always ensured that his art was firmly rooted in Chinese tradition. As is usually the case with ink artists, his later works, especially his vibrant splashed-ink landscapes, are the most sought after. Zhang mastered the art of painting “from heart to hand” late in his life. In 1971, he selected this particular phrase to carve into a seal (印章). The phrase probably conveyed a twofold message. First, it was Zhang’s proud claim that he had developed a stylistic versatility (多才多艺) for depicting the endless variations of the natural world. He acquired this ability by imitating the works of previous masters, which led to a grand combination of historical styles in his art. He also enriched his personal experience with his extensive travel and enhanced his artistic vocabulary in order to capture the beauty of the world. Second, the phrase communicates Zhang’s belief that an artist should follow his heart to convey their “spirit resonance (气韵生动),” a historical principle in judging the beauty of Chinese painting.
