A nutritionist can help you with the answer. Ellie Krieger is a nationally known nutritionist. Her job is to teach people how to make healthy food choices. She believes healthy eating can manage disease and promote overall good health. With her cookbooks, television programs, and podcast, Krieger also teaches people how to follow recipes and prepare delicious food. A healthy approach includes having fun in the kitchen. “I get to ‘play’ with my food when I’m testing and making a recipe,” Krieger says. “It’s part of my job, and it never gets old.” She tries to impart this sense of fun to her TV and podcast audiences. “It’s a great feeling to know my work is helping people live healthier lives,” she says. “I feel like I am making a difference in the world.” A nutritionist’s work goes beyond affecting individuals. It can shape public health, by changing the way society views food, health, and nutrition. Nutritionists like Krieger teach people how to read menus and food labels, and how food is grown and finds its way to the plate. Nutritionists do this work in schools, hospitals, and long-term care facilities. For Krieger, food is a way to learn about other people and understand different cultures. This is an idea she imparts to kids and parents. “The school cafeteria is a classroom,” she says, “and so is the family dinner table.” It was because of the commitment to family nutrition that Krieger made an effort to address the problem of childhood obesity. She’s been part of the School Nutrition Association, and has proved before the House Committee on Agriculture about nutrition and the childhood-obesity epidemic. She even helped plan the lunch menu at her daughter’s public school, in New York City. Krieger’s career shows how a nutritionist’s work can go beyond the hospital or the doctor’s office. “We work in all different fields,” she says. “We work in the media, in schools, at markets, with sports teams, in restaurants, in private practices, in government organizations, at food companies, and more!” 1. Why does the author put forward a question in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the harm of fries. B. To explain table manners. C To introduce a new career. D. To present a new course in restaurants. 2. What does Krieger want to convey to her audiences? A. Getting pleasure from making foods. B. Playing while cooking in the kitchen. C. Taking cooking as an important thing. D. Making different food in the world. 3. What does Krieger expect kids to learn at the school cafeteria? A. Different food labels. B. Different food cultures. C. The sources of food. D. The menu’s identification. 4. What does the last paragraph stress? A. A nutritionist’s colorful life. B. The teamwork of nutritionists and doctors. C. A range of choices for a nutritionist. D. The significance of a nutritionist. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。Ellie Krieger是一位全国知名的营养学家，文章通过介绍Ellie Krieger表明了营养师这一职业的理念和重要性。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“A nutritionist can help you with the answer.(一位营养师可以帮你找到答案。)”可知，第一段中提出的问题是为了引入营养师这一职业。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“A healthy approach includes having fun in the kitchen.(一个健康的方法包括在厨房里享受。)”和第四句“She tries to impart this sense of fun to her TV and podcast audiences.(她试图将这种乐趣传递给她的电视和播客观众。)”可知，Krieger想要向她的观众传达从制作食物中获得乐趣的理念。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“For Krieger, food is a way to learn about other people and understand different cultures.

The three said the “swimmer” seemed to be drowning. They rushed to help, though they didn’t hear any cries, and found a girl in the water. Roman jumped into the water at once. He swam to the girl and quickly caught her arm. Then Krill came to Roman and held his hand.

His face still partially paralyzed（瘫痪的）, and he spoke in a soft voice. But Mark Orsini delivered a powerful speech and received a thunderous applause from his fellow students, who had wondered if he’d live to graduate. The 18-year-old had developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, which can cause paralysis. Soon he was almost completely paralyzed. His parents insisted that he was a fighter. He’d get through this and go on to attend Dartmouth. But meanwhile, immobile and on a ventilator（呼吸器）, how was he going to ask questions or be involved in his class? The solution was remarkable: The Orsinis would sit at Mark’s side and recite the alphabet. When they got to a letter Mark needed to spell a word, he’d nod “yes.” They’d write it down, then start over and wait for him to nod again. They never lost patience and Mark was involved with every decision. Standard treatment hadn’t helped, so I proposed a risky procedure to filter（过滤） his blood. After treatment he showed improvement and soon he could move his toes, his legs and then his arms. Mark has graduated from Dartmouth. I saw him in my office some time ago, and he was feeling great. But there was a lot left unsaid. I wanted to say I was in awe of him, and that his parents were some of the most amazing people I’d ever met, sitting by his bed for hours, patiently listening to their child speak letter by letter. I wanted to tell him of my shame when my children tried to talk to me and I brushed them off because I didn’t have time to listen. I wanted to say I’d never forget him or his parents. But words failed me. 9. The underlined word “commencement” in Paragraph 1 means _________. A. graduation B. promise C. birthday D. acceptance 10. What did Mark’s parents do for him when he was learning in class? A. They did everything for Mark. B. They assisted Mark in learning. C. They lost patience sometimes. D. They made decisions for him. 11. We can learn from the passage that ___________. A. the standard treatment Mark received was a great success B. the doctor was not satisfied with Mark’s treatment and felt ashamed C. the doctor told Mark’s parents that they were impressive and unforgettable D. the doctor would like to have shared more of his true feelings with Mark 12. According to the last paragraph, how did the writer feel about the way he treated his children? A. He felt proud of it. B. He felt confident of it. C. He felt guilty of it. D. He felt doubtful about it 【答案】9. A 10. B 11. D 12. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一位患有格林-巴利综合征的年轻人马克·奥尔西尼在父母的帮助下战胜病魔并成功毕业的故事。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文“The wheelchair-bound young man, a patient of mine, was pushed to the lectern (演讲台) at the high school”（那个坐轮椅的年轻人是我的病人，他被推到了高中的演讲台）根据下文“But Mark Orsini delivered a powerful speech and received a thunderous applause from his fellow students, who had wondered if he’d live to graduate.”（ 但马克·奥尔西尼发表了一篇有力的演讲，并赢得了同学们雷鸣般的掌声，他们曾怀疑他是否能活到毕业。）可知，commencement在这里指的是毕业典礼上的演讲。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The Orsinis would sit at Mark’s side and recite the alphabet. When they got to a letter Mark needed to spell a word, he’d nod ‘yes.’ They’d write it down, then start over and wait for him to nod again.”可（奥尔西尼一家会坐在马克身边背诵字母表。当他们讲到一个需要马克拼单词的字母时，他会点头说“是”。他们会写下来，然后重新开始，等他再次点头）知，马克的父母在他上课时帮助他学习。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I wanted to say I was in awe of him, and that his parents were some of the most amazing people I’d ever met… I wanted to say I’d never forget him or his parents. But words failed me.”（我想说我很敬畏他，他的父母是我见过的最了不起的人，我想说我永远不会忘记他和他的父母。但我说不出话来。）可推知，医生想要和马克分享更多的真实感受。故选D。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I wanted to tell him of my shame when my children tried to talk to me and I brushed them off because I didn’t have time to listen.”（我想告诉他，当我的孩子们试图和我说话，但我没有时间听他们说话时，我感到羞愧。）可推知，作者对自己对待孩子的方式感到内疚。故选C。 D Half the Sky Price:$10.69 ISBN:978-0-3073-8709-7 Publication date:6/2010 Pages:320 With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D.

In the movies, kids are always so special. They are usually really smart. Or they are never scared of anything frightening. Or they have magic power and can help those in great trouble out. Why hasn't this ever happened to me? I am not as smart as the kids in the movies. I have never met with anything scary. And I am not powerful enough to help someone out of trouble. But I do hope I can become such a hero as those in the movies. My mother says the heroes in the movies don't exist in real life, adding that being a hero is really good, but I am too young to become one. It was Monday. Nothing seemed special. It was sunny, with birds singing in the sky. I was walking home from school along the usual street when I noticed an old woman on the other side of the street. She was walking very slowly, sliding her hand along the fence. She looked like a person left behind by the subway; everyone was racing past her. Deep down in my heart, I sensed that something was not right. Out of curiosity, I decided to cross the street. I squeezed (挤) into the crowd and approached her from the side. “Are you okay? ”I asked. She made no answer. “Excuse me,” I said a little louder. “Are you okay?” “Can you give me your hand, little boy?” asked the woman, looking sad. Without hesitation, I gave her my hand. Then I saw her face lit up. It was then that I realized that she was blind. “Where are you going?” I asked her “To my daughter’s home,” she replied. “It’s her birthday today. I bring her a gift.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The woman told me her daughter’s address. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “You are here!” the daughter said in disbelief. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The woman told me her daughter’s address. It wasn’t far. Keeping her hand in mine, I walked with her towards her daughter’s house. While we walked, she told me about her daughter, who had just had her own baby. Her daughter was always busy taking care of her new baby. She forgot her own birthday. But the mother kept it in mind and intended to give her a surprise. When we arrived at her daughter’s house, we walked up the steps and I knocked on the door. Her daughter answered the door. “You are here!” the daughter said in disbelief. She was more surprised when her mother presented her with a beautiful scarf, which reminded her of her birthday. It was obvious that both the daughter and her mother were overwhelmed with joy. The daughter thanked me for leading her blind mother to her house, saying, “Thank you so much. You’re a real little hero!” Wild with joy, I rushed home and told my mother, “Someone called me a hero!” Mom said proudly, “You are as great as the heroes in the movies.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者讲述了自己虽然还是一个孩子，却梦想着成为像电视里一样英雄，有一天放学回家的路上帮助了一个盲人老太太。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那个女人告诉我她女儿地址。”可知，此段可描写作者带老太太去找她的女儿。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘你来了！’女儿难以置信地说。”可知，此段可描写女儿很意外母亲的到来，她们感谢作者的帮助，作者很高兴，回家后妈妈称作者为英雄。 2. 续写线索： 作者送老太太去女儿家——老太太想给过生日的女儿一个惊喜——女儿看到母亲后很惊讶——感谢作者的帮助——作者母亲称作者为英雄 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①忙于： be busy in/be occupied with ②记住： remember/keep ...in mind ③打算：intend to/plan to/decide to 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished/amazed/astounded ②骄傲地：proudly/with pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】Keeping her hand in mine, I walked with her towards her daughter’s house.

A nutritionist can help you with the answer. Ellie Krieger is a nationally known nutritionist. Her job is to teach people how to make healthy food choices. She believes healthy eating can manage disease and promote overall good health. With her cookbooks, television programs, and podcast, Krieger also teaches people how to follow recipes and prepare delicious food. A healthy approach includes having fun in the kitchen. “I get to ‘play’ with my food when I’m testing and making a recipe” Krieger says. “It’s part of my job, and it never gets old.” She tries to impart this sense of fun to her TV and podcast audiences. “It’s a great feeling to know my work is helping people live healthier lives,” she says. “I feel like I am making a difference in the world.” A nutritionist’s work goes beyond affecting individuals. It can shape public health, by changing the way society views food, health, and nutrition. Nutritionists like Krieger teach people how to read menus and food labels, and how food is grown and finds its way to the plate. Nutritionists do this work in schools, hospitals, and long-term care facilities. For Krieger, food is a way to learn about other people and understand different cultures. This is an idea she imparts to kids and parents. “The school cafeteria is a classroom,” she says, “and so is the family dinner table.” It was because of the commitment to family nutrition that Krieger made an effort to address the problem of childhood obesity. She’s been part of the School Nutrition Association, and has proved before the House Committee on Agriculture about nutrition and the childhood-obesity epidemic. She even helped plan the lunch menu at her daughter’s public school, in New York City. Krieger’s career shows how a nutritionist’s work can go beyond the hospital or the doctor’s office. “We work in all different fields,” she says. “We work in the media, in schools, at markets, with sports teams, in restaurants, in private practices, in government organizations, at food companies, and more!” 1. Why does the author put forward a question in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the harm of fries. B. To explain table manners. C. To introduce a new career. D. To present a new course in restaurants. 2. What does Krieger want to convey to her audiences? A. Getting pleasure from making foods. B. Playing while cooking in the kitchen. C. Taking cooking as an important thing. D. Making different food in the world. 3. What does Krieger expect kids to learn at the school cafeteria? A. Different food labels. B. Different food cultures. C. The sources of food. D. The menu’s identification. 4. What does the last paragraph stress? A. A nutritionist’s colorful life. B. The teamwork of nutritionists and doctors. C. A range of choices for a nutritionist. D. The significance of a nutritionist. B On May 14th, 2016, three foreigners saved a drowning(溺水的)Chinese girl. Roman and Krill are Russian first-year college students. That Saturday, they were standing by the river near Shanghai Jianqiao University with their teacher, Bastien, a teacher from France at Jianqiao University. Then they saw someone “swimming”. The three said the “swimmer” seemed to be drowning. They rushed to help, though they didn’t hear any cries, and found a girl in the water. Roman jumped into the water at once. He swam to the girl and quickly caught her arm. Then Krill came to Roman and held his hand. Bastien held on to the bank with one hand, while holding Krill with the other hand. “The girl almost pulled us into the water as she tried so hard to get out of the water,” said Bastien. A video showed that the rescue took less than five minutes. But it was really dangerous. The girl, 17 ,was a student from a nearby school. The three heroes spent some time with her to make sure she was safe and not hurt. Then the girl was sent to the international students’ apartment of Shanghai Jianqiao University. Roman, one of the Russian students, later found he was injured in the back during the rescue. His cellphone also broke after being in the water. Students and teachers at Jianqiao University quickly heard the news. They were all proud of them. The three men also received some money as a reward from the girl’s parents on Monday. Thanks to the three brave men, the girl didn’t lose her life. The three heroes have been called foreign “LeiFeng”. 5. What can we learn about the three heroes from the text? A. They are college teachers. B. Two of them are Russians. C. One of them is from England. D. They are from three different schools. 6. Before the rescue, the three men________.

C The wheelchair-bound young man, a patient of mine, was pushed to the lectern (演讲台) at the high school to deliver his commencement address. His face still partially paralyzed（瘫痪的）, and he spoke in a soft voice. But Mark Orsini delivered a powerful speech and received a thunderous applause from his fellow students, who had wondered if he’d live to graduate. The 18-year-old had developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, which can cause paralysis. Soon he was almost completely paralyzed. His parents insisted that he was a fighter. He’d get through this and go on to attend Dartmouth. But meanwhile, immobile and on a ventilator（呼吸器）, how was he going to ask questions or be involved in his class? The solution was remarkable: The Orsinis would sit at Mark’s side and recite the alphabet. When they got to a letter Mark needed to spell a word, he’d nod “yes.” They’d write it down, then start over and wait for him to nod again. They never lost patience and Mark was involved with every decision. Standard treatment hadn’t helped, so I proposed a risky procedure to filter（过滤） his blood. After treatment he showed improvement and soon he could move his toes, his legs and then his arms. Mark has graduated from Dartmouth. I saw him in my office some time ago, and he was feeling great. But there was a lot left unsaid. I wanted to say I was in awe of him, and that his parents were some of the most amazing people I’d ever met, sitting by his bed for hours, patiently listening to their child speak letter by letter. I wanted to tell him of my shame when my children tried to talk to me and I brushed them off because I didn’t have time to listen. I wanted to say I’d never forget him or his parents. But words failed me. 9. The underlined word “commencement” in Paragraph 1 means _________. A. graduation B. promise C. birthday D. acceptance 10. What did Mark’s parents do for him when he was learning in class? A. They did everything for Mark. B. They assisted Mark in learning. C. They lost patience sometimes. D. They made decisions for him. 11. We can learn from the passage that ___________. A. the standard treatment Mark received was a great success B. the doctor was not satisfied with Mark’s treatment and felt ashamed C. the doctor told Mark’s parents that they were impressive and unforgettable D. the doctor would like to have shared more of his true feelings with Mark 12.

In the movies kids are always so special. They are usually really smart. Or they are never scared of anything frightening. Or they have magic power and can help those in great trouble out. Why hasn't this ever happened to me? I am not as smart as the kids in the movies. I have never met with anything scary. And I am not powerful enough to help someone out of trouble. But I do hope I can become such a hero as those in the movies. My mother says the heroes in the movies don't exist in real life, adding that being a hero is really good, but I am too young to become one. It was Monday. Nothing seemed special. It was sunny, with birds singing in the sky. I was walking home from school along the usual street when I noticed an old woman on the other side of the street. She was walking very slowly, sliding her hand along the fence. She looked like a person left behind by the subway; everyone was racing past her. Deep down in my heart, I sensed that something was not right. Out of curiosity, I decided to cross the street. I squeezed (挤) into the crowd and approached her from the side. “Are you okay? ”I asked. She made no answer. “Excuse me,” I said a little louder. “Are you okay?” “Can you give me your hand, little boy?” asked the woman, looking sad. Without hesitation, I gave her my hand. Then I saw her face lit up. It was then that I realized that she was blind. “Where are you going?” I asked her. “To my daughter’s home,” she replied. “It’s her birthday today. I bring her a gift.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The woman told me her daughter’s address. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “You are here!” the daughter said in disbelief. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
