专题09 阅读理解之记叙文 （23-24高二上·上海·期中）My 14-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat almost at the same time. It was hanging at a secondhand clothing store. While the other coats looked rather depressed, this one looked as if it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the chesterfield (长大衣) was soft and unworn. It was beautifully tailored and had an unbelievable price tag of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys; but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that touch of classic elegance from long ago. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The fit was perfect. John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a grin. “How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it!” he said merrily, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. Agreement replaced protest; quiet, reasoned discussion replaced argument. He became more sensible, more polite, more thoughtful, eager to please. “Good dinner, Mom, ” he would say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start on homework before dinner, John, who was always putting off doing stuff, said, “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It must be his coat!” At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children for a long time, “Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to John’s new height, assessing the style of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another. Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I’m reminded of what it felt like to be at his age — a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat. 1．Why did John’s eyes shine when he saw the coat? A．It was the first time that he had been to a secondhand store. B．It was pleasant for him to share the same taste with mom. C．He fell in love with that coat and wanted to put it on. D．He managed to get his mom to buy him a new coat. 2．What does the underlined word “grin” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．A big smile. B．A sad look. C．A jealous remark. D．An anxious thought. 3．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A．There was a trend of loving such coats among teenage boys then. B．John used to be disobedient towards parents’ demands. C．John acted like a gentleman after wearing the coat. D．The teacher didn’t understand why John changed a lot. 4．Which of the following might the best title? A．A Special Shopping Experience B．A Caring Mother C．A Magical Coat D．John’s Taste for Clothing （23-24高二上·上海·期中）Professor Heinz Wolff, who has died aged 89, was a bioengineering pioneer. He established the discipline, named it and, in a 60-year career, made significant contributions to medical research. But to the British public, he was best known as the dotty scientist who fronted The Great Egg Race, a BBC show in which colour-coded teams were set engineering challenges (the first was to transport an egg in a vehicle powered by rubber bands). With his trademark bow tie, half-moon glasses and Mittel-European accent, he looked really like Professor Branestawn, as described by W. Heath Robinson. Yet while he cheerfully exploited his reputation as a “peculiar egghead”, he was very serious about his work and inspired thousands of young people to consider scientific careers. Born in Berlin in 1928, Heinz Wolff was the son of Jewish parents. His mother died in 1938, and the next year the family fled. They arrived in Britain on the day war was declared. “We really cut it rather fine,” he said on Desert Island Discs in 1998. After leaving school, he worked as a technician at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, where he invented a machine to count red blood cells, and then at the National Institute for Medical Research’s pneumoconiosis research unit in Cardiff, where he designed a means of measuring dust levels in coal miners. He went on to study at University College London and graduated with a first in physics and physiology. Then, in 1983, he founded the Institute for Bioengineering at Brunel University. His particular interest was in technologies to improve the lives of older people, but he was also heavily involved in space research and worked as an adviser to the European Space Agency. Wolff had made his first appearance on TV on Panorama in 1966, encouraging Richard Dimbleby to swallow a “radio pill”. On The Great Egg Race, which ran from 1979, his task was to get opponent teams representing organizations such as the chemical company ICI. Challenges included building a hovercraft from a lawnmower, and inventing a bicycle that could ride on water. Marks were awarded for entertainment value and technical accomplishment. The show ended in the mid-1980s, but Wolff continued to judge scientific competitions, on TV and elsewhere. A natural entertainer with an inexhaustible curiosity about the world, he said he’d be happy to dress up as a clown if it got children interested in science. 5．The word “dotty” (paragraph1) is closest in meaning to ________. A．strange B．serious C．famous D．genius 6．Which of the following statements is TRUE of Heinz Wolff according to the passage? A．His family left Berlin after World War II began. B．He used to major in physics and physiology. C．He invented a machine while in University College London. D．His interest lay in helping those living in war-stricken areas. 7．Heinz Wolff didn’t mind looking ridiculous as long as ________. A．he could keep being curious about the world B．he could combine entertainment and technology C．he could help arouse children’s interest in science D．he could appear on TV to judge scientific competitions 8．Which of the following is an achievement made by Heinz Wolff? A．Representing a chemical company. B．Designing a method to count red blood cells. C．Being the first scientist to front TV shows. D．Setting up the subject of bioengineering. （23-24高二上·上海·期中）John Goodenough shared the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his crucial role in developing the revolutionary lithium-ion (锂离子) battery, the rechargeable power pack that is ubiquitous in today’s wireless electronic devices and electric and hybrid vehicles. He was the unwanted child of a Yale University professor of religion and a mother with whom he never bonded. Friendless except for three siblings, a family dog and a maid, he grew up lonely in an emotionally distant household. He was sent to a private boarding school at 12 and rarely heard from his parents. With patience, counseling and intense struggles for self-improvement, he overcame his reading disabilities. He studied Latin and Greek in the boarding school and mastered mathematics at Yale and meteorology in the Army Air Forces after graduation. At M. I. T.’s laboratory in the 1950s, he was a member of teams that helped lay the groundwork for random access memory (RAM) in computers and developed plans for the first air defense system. In 1976, as federal funding for his work ended, he moved to Oxford to teach and manage a chemistry lab, where he began his research on batteries. Seeking to improve on the traditional design, Dr. Goodenough crafted the cathode with layers of lithium and cobalt oxide. The arrangement also produced a higher voltage and made the battery far more stable. He succeeded after four years. It was the first lithium-ion battery with the capacity to power both compact and relatively large devices, a quality that would make it far superior to anything on the market. However, there was little interest in his discovery at first, and Oxford declined to patent it. In 1991, Sony, recognizing the commercial potential of the emerging technology, combined Dr. Goodenough’s cathode (阴极) and a carbon anode (阳极) to produce the world’s first safe rechargeable lithium-ion battery for the marketplace. A revolution in wireless mobile devices thus exploded, populating the planet with smartphones, laptop and tablet computers and clean, quiet plug-in vehicles. In 2019, when he was 97 and still active in research, Dr. Goodenough became the oldest Nobel Prize winner in history. He received no royalties (技术使用费) for his work on the battery, only his salary for six decades as a scientist and professor at three prestigious colleges. Caring little for money, he signed away most of his rights. He shared patents with colleagues and donated incomes that came with his awards to research and scholarships. “Goodenough’s original cathode structure is still used in the batteries found in almost all personal electronics,” Helen Gregg wrote in The University of Chicago Magazine. “When he was tinkering with cathodes back at Oxford, Goodenough had no idea of the impact his battery would have, but in fact, he was changing the world.” 9．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A．John invented the first lithium-ion battery with large capacity in 1991. B．John was an orphan brought up in a private boarding school. C．Oxford realized the new battery’s potential before Sony did. D．Sony’s first rechargeable lithium-ion battery is globally accepted. 10．The sequence of what happened in John’s life was ______. ① military projects         ② frustrations in Oxford ③ school education         ④ popularity of John’s battery A．①②④③ B．③④①② C．③①②④ D．①③②④ 11．We can infer from the passage that John Goodenough was ______. A．innocent B．pessimistic C．generous D．honest 12．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．A man who charged the world B．The pursuit of education C．Tips from a successful scientist D．A lonely child in boarding school （22-23高二上·上海·期中）The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom. I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher. A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar,assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a journalist by profession. Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire. Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after. 13．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph Two most probably mean? A．Hobbies and clubs did not interest the author. B．The author turned a deaf ear to joining clubs. C．Hobbies and clubs were inaccessible to immigrants like the author. D．The author had no idea what hobbies and clubs were all about. 14．Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently? A．Stepping on the American soil for the first time. B．Her mother’s miserable death. C．Being exposed to Greek literary works. D．Following the prettiest girl in his class. 15．It can be inferred from Paragraph Four that _______. A．Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation B．Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style C．The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired D．Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students 16．The passage is mainly concerned with _______. A．how the author became a journalist B．the importance of inspiration in one’s life C．the teacher who shaped the author’s life D．factors contributing to a successful career （22-23高二上·上海浦东新·期中）When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed the people at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this world would be. At school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then, why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make our actions reflect your words.” I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur(激励)action. Now, ten years from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken. When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make choices - education, career, lifestyle - life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is progress, but we aren’t taught how to pursue a happy, healthy on sustainable way of living. And we are leaning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was idealistic and innocent. Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change. 17．The purpose of what the speaker said at the age of 12 was to ________. A．end poverty and make school beautiful B．end poverty and solve the problems about environment C．find a wonderful place and clean it up D．find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselves 18．What does the underlined word “ovation” in the second paragraph refer to ________. A．a long period of laughing B．a warm welcome C．a long period of clapping and applauses D．an expression used for greeting 19．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．the writer thinks what he thought at the age of 12 is mature. B．the writer’s children will certainly live in an ideal environment. C．the writer’s confidence in the people in power has deeply shaken their voice. D．the writer’s belief does not change when he grows up. （21-22高二上·上海奉贤·期中）After a car crash left 14-year-old Collin Smith unable to walk, doctors told him he had a 20 percent chance of finishing high school.The opportunity to attend college seemed even slimmer.Yet eight years later, Collin earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from High Point University.Collin had achieved the nearly impossible --- with the help of a kind man five decades his senior. Dial back to 2005.Ernest Greene had just moved to the same area that Collin and his parents lived.The families did not know each other.But when Ernest heard about Collin's accident and the fact that his parents would not be able to care full-time for their son, Ernest says, he felt a calling.“The Lord was leading me to help,” he says.He had time to spare.

They were dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the grey, cold spring of New York vanished behind them. Vingo was on the bus from the beginning. As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice that Vingo never moved. He sat in front of the young people, his dusty face masking his age, dressed in a plain brown suit that did not fit him. He sat in complete silence and seemed completely unaware of the existence of the others. Deep into the night, the bus pulled into a Howard Johnson’s restaurant and everybody got off the bus except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him: perhaps he was a sea captain; maybe he could be an old soldier going home. In the morning they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s and this time Vingo went in. A girl invited him to join them. He seemed very shy and ordered black coffee and smoked nervously, as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches. When they got back on the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again. “Are you married?” “I don’t know.” “You don’t know?” she said. ‘‘Well, when I was in jail I wrote to my wife. I said, ‘Martha, I was going to be away a long time. If you couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, you could just forget me. I told her she didn’t have to write to me or anything, and she didn’t. Not for three-and-a-half years. “And you’re going home now, not knowing?” “Yeah. Well, last week, when I was sure the parole (有条件释放) was coming through I wrote her again. I told her that if she had a new guy, I understood. But, if she didn’t, if she would take me back she should let me know. We used to live in Brunswick, and there’s a great oak tree just as you come into town. I told her if she would take me back, she should tie a yellow ribbon (丝带) to the tree, and I would get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it, no ribbon and I’d understand and keep going on through.” “Wow,” the girl said “Wow.” She told the others, and soon all of them were caught up in the approach of Brunswick. Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took the window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-criminal’s mask, and ________ . Then it was 10 miles, and then five, and the bus became very quiet. Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances, shaking clenched fists in triumph and exaltation. All except Vingo. Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree through his misty eyes. The tree was covered with yellow ribbons, 30 of them, 50 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a flag of welcome, blowing and billowing in the wind. As the young people shouted, the old ex-criminal slowly rose from his seat, holding himself tightly, and made his way to the front of the bus to go home. 24．In the beginning, Vingo was sting in silence without interacting with others most probably because ________. A．he was too shy and nervous to utter a word B．he was lost in thought and uncertainty. C．he did not want to ruin the joyful atmosphere among other passengers.

C．They showed trust and sympathy towards Vingo. D．They hoped Vingo could make his own decision instead of waiting for his wife’s response. 26．Which sentence will fit best in the blank in the third to last paragraph? A．preparing himself for still another disappointment. B．wanting to get away from the other passengers’ noise. C．not ready to accept whatever lies ahead for him. D．hoping he did not inform the other passengers of his story. 27．What does the hundreds of yellow ribbons in the end symbolize? A．a show of respect from Vingo’s family. B．a last warning from Vingo’s wife. C．a expression of sympathy from Vingo’s wife. D．a display of forgiveness from Vingo’s wife. （20-21高二上·上海浦东新·期中）Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. "There's so much to learn," he'd say. "Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way." He was determined that none of his children would be denied an education. Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point. Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning. Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. "Felice," he'd say, "tell me what you learned today." "I learned that the population of Nepal is ..." Silence. Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. "The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well ..." he'd say. "Get the map; let's see where Nepal is." And the whole family went on a search for Nepal. This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts. As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting out input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher. Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along - the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful. 28．What do we know from the first paragraph? A．The poor could hardly afford school education. B．Those born stupid could not change their life. C．The town elders wanted to learn about the world. D．The author's father was born in a worker's family. 29．The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to "________" A．one new thing B．a request C．some comment D．the news 30．It can be learned from the passage that the author ________. A．enjoyed talking about news B．knew very well about Nepal C．appreciated his father's educational technique D．felt regret about those wasted days 31．What is the greatest value of "dinner time" to the author? A．Showing talents B．Continual learning C．Family get-together D．Winning Papa's approval （20-21高二上·上海浦东新·期中）The butterfly, which is competitive swimming’s newest stroke (划水), was developed in the mid-1930s, but it wasn’t allowed in the Olympics until 1956. The story of the butterfly is a good illustration of how coaches and swimmers are constantly searching for ways to improve stroke efficiency. During the 1920s, the Japanese Olympic coaches used underwater photography to research stroke mechanics, and their efforts paid off when Japanese competitors won five of the six men’s swimming gold medals at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. It was a wake-up call to the rest of the swimming world, and one of the top US coaches — David Armbruster at the University of Iowa — began doing his own filming. Armbruster was seeking to make the breaststroke faster. He knew that the action of bringing their arms forward underwater slowed breaststrokes down, so he came up with a method of bringing the arms forward over the water. The revised stroke (he kept the breaststroke kick) brought great improvements in speed. The following year, Jack Sieg, an Iowa swimmer, developed a technique involving swimming on his side and beating his legs in unison (一致) similar to a fish tail. As Armbruster later explained in the book Weissmuller to Spitz: The History and Background of the Olympic Games: “Sieg tried the same action while swimming face down. Sieg synchronized his leg action with the butterfly arm action using two leg beats to each arm pull.” But the kick was ruled illegal because the legs moved in the vertical (垂直的) plane. Within a few years, nearly every breaststroker was using this overarm butterfly action without the kick. The pure butterfly wasn’t legalized for some two decades, but at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne “the fly” became an official event. 32．The best title of the article is _____. A．Why did the coaches and swimmers improve stroke efficiency? B．How did the butterfly come into being? C．How did the Japanese wake up the swimming world? D．When did “the fly” become an official event? 33．The Japanese coaches use underwater photography in order to ______. A．wake up the swimming world B．be paid more money C．know how to be a mechanic D．improve stroke efficiency 34．Before the pure butterfly was officially recognized, ______ years or so had passed . A．15 B．20 C．30 D．35 35．According to the passage, which statement is NOT true? A．The Japanese coaches improved butterfly stroke. B．David Armbruster used filming to study stroke mechanics. C．Sieg came up with the idea of beating legs like a fish tail. D．The butterfly was added to the Olympics in 1956. （20-21高二上·上海黄浦·期中）Math, Taught like Football Growing up, I thought math class was something to be endured, not enjoyed. I disliked memorizing formulas and taking tests, all for the dull goal of getting a good grade. But my problem wasn’t with math itself. In fact, I spent countless hours as a child doing logic and math puzzles on my own, and as a teenager, when a topic seemed particularly interesting, I would go to the library and read more about it. By high school, none of my teachers questioned my mathematical talent, but none of them really encouraged it, either. No one told me that I could become a professional mathematician. What I wanted to do then was to play college football. My ambition was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school. The chances of that happening were very low. In high school, I was just an above-average athlete and my high school was not a “feeder” school for college sports programs. That didn’t stop me from dreaming, though. And it didn’t stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal, and preparing and pushing me to work for it. They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country. It didn’t matter that I didn’t initially attract much interest from the big schools. My coaches kept picking up the phone, and kept convincing me to try to prove myself. In the end, a Big Ten school, Pennstate, did offer me a scholarship. A growing body of research shows that students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan. They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers, and they seek a sense of purpose. They benefit from specific instructions, constant feedback and a culture of earning that encourages resilience in the face of failure. Until I got to college, I didn’t really know what mathematics was. I still thought of it as problem sets and laborious computations. Then one day, one of my professors handed me a book and suggested that I think about a particular problem. It wasn’t easy, but it was fascinating. My professor kept giving me problems, and I kept pursuing them. Before long, he was introducing me to problems that had never been solved before and urging me to find new techniques to help crack them. I am now a Ph. D．candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and I have published several papers in mathematical journals. I still feel that childlike excitement every time I complete a proof. I wish I’d known this was possible when I was a kid. 36．Why did the writer think math class in school was “something to be endured” before entering college? A．Because he wasn’t interested in math. B．Because his math teachers didn’t care to push him. C．Because he was too smart and talented for math class. D．Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship. 37．According to the writer, students are affected by the following things from teachers or coaches EXCEPT __________. A．passion B．constant feedback C．a sense of purpose D．specific instructions 38．We can conclude that after entering college, the writer___________. A．was busy looking for problem sets to crack B．began to realize what mathematics really is C．met with laborious computations in his studies D．studied on his own just as he was in high school 39．What does “this” in the last sentence mean? A．Feeling the children excitement. B．Different mathematical research. C．Generating curiosity and creativity. D．Being a professional mathematician. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题09 阅读理解之记叙文 （23-24高二上·上海·期中）My 14-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat almost at the same time. It was hanging at a secondhand clothing store. While the other coats looked rather depressed, this one looked as if it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the chesterfield (长大衣) was soft and unworn. It was beautifully tailored and had an unbelievable price tag of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys; but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that touch of classic elegance from long ago. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The fit was perfect. John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a grin. “How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it!” he said merrily, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. Agreement replaced protest; quiet, reasoned discussion replaced argument. He became more sensible, more polite, more thoughtful, eager to please. “Good dinner, Mom, ” he would say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start on homework before dinner, John, who was always putting off doing stuff, said, “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It must be his coat!” At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children for a long time, “Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to John’s new height, assessing the style of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another. Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I’m reminded of what it felt like to be at his age — a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat. 1．Why did John’s eyes shine when he saw the coat? A．It was the first time that he had been to a secondhand store. B．It was pleasant for him to share the same taste with mom. C．He fell in love with that coat and wanted to put it on. D．He managed to get his mom to buy him a new coat. 2．What does the underlined word “grin” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．A big smile. B．A sad look. C．A jealous remark. D．An anxious thought. 3．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A．There was a trend of loving such coats among teenage boys then. B．John used to be disobedient towards parents’ demands. C．John acted like a gentleman after wearing the coat. D．The teacher didn’t understand why John changed a lot. 4．Which of the following might the best title? A．A Special Shopping Experience B．A Caring Mother C．A Magical Coat D．John’s Taste for Clothing 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者给儿子买了一件他喜欢的外套，儿子穿上去上学后有了全新的改变。作者因此感悟到如果我们穿着得体，思想行为也会与之相配的，因为我们所穿的衣服会一定程度的影响我们的内在。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“My 14-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat almost at the same time. It was hanging at a secondhand clothing store. While the other coats looked rather depressed, this one looked as if it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the chesterfield (长大衣) was soft and unworn. It was beautifully tailored and had an unbelievable price tag of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys; but could cost several hundred dollars new.(我和14岁的儿子约翰几乎同时发现了这件外套。挂在一家二手服装店。其他的外套看起来都很压抑，而这件外套看起来却挺得住。厚的，黑色的羊毛的切斯特菲尔德是柔软的，没有磨损。这件衣服剪裁精美，标价28美元，令人难以置信。我们面面相觑，什么也没说，但约翰的眼睛闪闪发光。深色的羊毛外套在十几岁的男孩中很受欢迎；但是可能要花费几百美元)”可知，约翰看到那件外套时眼睛闪闪发光因为他爱上了那件外套，想穿上它。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文““How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it!” he said merrily, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat.(“孩子们喜欢你的外套吗？”我问。“他们很喜欢！”他高兴地说，小心地把它叠在椅背上，把它抚平)”可知，儿子的同学都很喜欢这件衣服，儿子很高兴，是带着微笑回来的，故划线词意思是“大大的微笑”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It must be his coat!”(当我向他的一位老师提到这件事，并说我不知道是什么导致了这些变化时，她笑着说。“一定是因为他的外套！”)”可知，D选项“老师不明白为什么约翰改变了很多”不正确。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I’m reminded of what it felt like to be at his age — a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat.(有时，看着约翰去上学，我想起了在他这个年纪的感觉——在那个时候，尝试不同的生活方式就像试一件外套一样容易)”结合文章主要讲述了作者给儿子买了一件他喜欢的外套，儿子穿上去上学后有了全新的改变。作者因此感悟到如果我们穿着得体，思想行为也会与之相配的，因为我们所穿的衣服会一定程度的影响我们的内在。可知，C选项“一件神奇的外套”最符合文章标题。故选C。 （23-24高二上·上海·期中）Professor Heinz Wolff, who has died aged 89, was a bioengineering pioneer. He established the discipline, named it and, in a 60-year career, made significant contributions to medical research. But to the British public, he was best known as the dotty scientist who fronted The Great Egg Race, a BBC show in which colour-coded teams were set engineering challenges (the first was to transport an egg in a vehicle powered by rubber bands). With his trademark bow tie, half-moon glasses and Mittel-European accent, he looked really like Professor Branestawn, as described by W. Heath Robinson. Yet while he cheerfully exploited his reputation as a “peculiar egghead”, he was very serious about his work and inspired thousands of young people to consider scientific careers. Born in Berlin in 1928, Heinz Wolff was the son of Jewish parents. His mother died in 1938, and the next year the family fled. They arrived in Britain on the day war was declared. “We really cut it rather fine,” he said on Desert Island Discs in 1998. After leaving school, he worked as a technician at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, where he invented a machine to count red blood cells, and then at the National Institute for Medical Research’s pneumoconiosis research unit in Cardiff, where he designed a means of measuring dust levels in coal miners. He went on to study at University College London and graduated with a first in physics and physiology. Then, in 1983, he founded the Institute for Bioengineering at Brunel University. His particular interest was in technologies to improve the lives of older people, but he was also heavily involved in space research and worked as an adviser to the European Space Agency. Wolff had made his first appearance on TV on Panorama in 1966, encouraging Richard Dimbleby to swallow a “radio pill”. On The Great Egg Race, which ran from 1979, his task was to get opponent teams representing organizations such as the chemical company ICI. Challenges included building a hovercraft from a lawnmower, and inventing a bicycle that could ride on water. Marks were awarded for entertainment value and technical accomplishment. The show ended in the mid-1980s, but Wolff continued to judge scientific competitions, on TV and elsewhere. A natural entertainer with an inexhaustible curiosity about the world, he said he’d be happy to dress up as a clown if it got children interested in science. 5．The word “dotty” (paragraph1) is closest in meaning to ________. A．strange B．serious C．famous D．genius 6．Which of the following statements is TRUE of Heinz Wolff according to the passage? A．His family left Berlin after World War II began. B．He used to major in physics and physiology. C．He invented a machine while in University College London. D．His interest lay in helping those living in war-stricken areas. 7．Heinz Wolff didn’t mind looking ridiculous as long as ________. A．he could keep being curious about the world B．he could combine entertainment and technology C．he could help arouse children’s interest in science D．he could appear on TV to judge scientific competitions 8．Which of the following is an achievement made by Heinz Wolff? A．Representing a chemical company. B．Designing a method to count red blood cells. C．Being the first scientist to front TV shows. D．Setting up the subject of bioengineering. 【答案】5．A 6．B 7．C 8．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是生物工程的先驱Heinz Wolff教授的个人生平和贡献。 5．词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Yet while he cheerfully exploited his reputation as a “peculiar egghead”, he was very serious about his work and inspired thousands of young people to consider scientific careers.(然而，当他兴高采烈地利用自己“古怪的书呆子”的名声时，他对自己的工作非常认真，并激励了成千上万的年轻人考虑从事科学事业。)”可知，Heinz Wolff教授应该是很享受被人们称为“古怪的书呆子”，结合划线单词后的定语从句“who fronted The Great Egg Race, a BBC show in which colour-coded teams were set engineering challenges (the first was to transport an egg in a vehicle powered by rubber bands).(他是主持英国广播公司(BBC)节目《伟大的鸡蛋赛跑》的科学家，在这个节目中，用不同颜色编码的队伍接受工程挑战（第一个挑战是用橡皮筋驱动的车辆运送鸡蛋）。)”可知，他最为人所知的身份是主持英国广播公司节目《伟大的鸡蛋赛跑》，所以“peculiar egghead”应是对他称呼的再次出现，由此可知，划线单词的意思应与“古怪的（strange）”意义相近。故选A项。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He went on to study at University College London and graduated with a first in physics and physiology.(他继续在伦敦大学学院学习，并以物理学和生理学的第一名毕业。)”可知，他在伦敦大学学院学习，并且以物理学和生理学第一名毕业，由此可知，Heinz Wolff以前应该是主修物理学和生理学，B项正确。故选B项。 7．细节理解题。根据尾段中的“A natural entertainer with an inexhaustible curiosity about the world, he said he’d be happy to dress up as a clown if it got children interested in science.(他是一个天生的表演者，对世界有着无穷无尽的好奇心。他说，如果能让孩子们对科学感兴趣，他很乐意打扮成小丑。)”可知，Heinz Wolff说，只要能让孩子对科学感兴趣，他愿意打扮成小丑的模样，由此可知，Heinz Wolff教授不介意自己看起来有多滑稽，只要孩子们对科学感兴趣。故选C项。 8．细节理解题。根据首段中的“Professor Heinz Wolff, who has died aged 89, was a bioengineering pioneer. He established the discipline, named it and, in a 60-year career, made significant contributions to medical research. (Heinz Wolff教授去世，享年89岁，他是生物工程的先驱。他创立了这门学科，并将其命名，在60年的职业生涯中，他为医学研究做出了重大贡献。)”可知，Heinz Wolff教授取得的成就是创立了生物工程学科。故选D项。 （23-24高二上·上海·期中）John Goodenough shared the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his crucial role in developing the revolutionary lithium-ion (锂离子) battery, the rechargeable power pack that is ubiquitous in today’s wireless electronic devices and electric and hybrid vehicles. He was the unwanted child of a Yale University professor of religion and a mother with whom he never bonded. Friendless except for three siblings, a family dog and a maid, he grew up lonely in an emotionally distant household. He was sent to a private boarding school at 12 and rarely heard from his parents. With patience, counseling and intense struggles for self-improvement, he overcame his reading disabilities. He studied Latin and Greek in the boarding school and mastered mathematics at Yale and meteorology in the Army Air Forces after graduation. At M. I. T.’s laboratory in the 1950s, he was a member of teams that helped lay the groundwork for random access memory (RAM) in computers and developed plans for the first air defense system. In 1976, as federal funding for his work ended, he moved to Oxford to teach and manage a chemistry lab, where he began his research on batteries. Seeking to improve on the traditional design, Dr. Goodenough crafted the cathode with layers of lithium and cobalt oxide. The arrangement also produced a higher voltage and made the battery far more stable. He succeeded after four years. It was the first lithium-ion battery with the capacity to power both compact and relatively large devices, a quality that would make it far superior to anything on the market. However, there was little interest in his discovery at first, and Oxford declined to patent it. In 1991, Sony, recognizing the commercial potential of the emerging technology, combined Dr. Goodenough’s cathode (阴极) and a carbon anode (阳极) to produce the world’s first safe rechargeable lithium-ion battery for the marketplace. A revolution in wireless mobile devices thus exploded, populating the planet with smartphones, laptop and tablet computers and clean, quiet plug-in vehicles. In 2019, when he was 97 and still active in research, Dr. Goodenough became the oldest Nobel Prize winner in history. He received no royalties (技术使用费) for his work on the battery, only his salary for six decades as a scientist and professor at three prestigious colleges. Caring little for money, he signed away most of his rights. He shared patents with colleagues and donated incomes that came with his awards to research and scholarships. “Goodenough’s original cathode structure is still used in the batteries found in almost all personal electronics,” Helen Gregg wrote in The University of Chicago Magazine. “When he was tinkering with cathodes back at Oxford, Goodenough had no idea of the impact his battery would have, but in fact, he was changing the world.” 9．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A．John invented the first lithium-ion battery with large capacity in 1991. B．John was an orphan brought up in a private boarding school. C．Oxford realized the new battery’s potential before Sony did. D．Sony’s first rechargeable lithium-ion battery is globally accepted. 10．The sequence of what happened in John’s life was ______. ① military projects         ② frustrations in Oxford ③ school education         ④ popularity of John’s battery A．①②④③ B．③④①② C．③①②④ D．①③②④ 11．We can infer from the passage that John Goodenough was ______. A．innocent B．pessimistic C．generous D．honest 12．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．A man who charged the world B．The pursuit of education C．Tips from a successful scientist D．A lonely child in boarding school 【答案】9．D 10．C 11．C 12．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了2019年诺贝尔化学奖得主John Goodenough的生平经历。 9．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“In 1991, Sony, recognizing the commercial potential of the emerging technology, combined Dr. Goodenough’s cathode (阴极) and a carbon anode (阳极) to produce the world’s first safe rechargeable lithium-ion battery for the marketplace. A revolution in wireless mobile devices thus exploded, populating the planet with smartphones, laptop and tablet computers and clean, quiet plug-in vehicles.(1991年，索尼认识到这项新兴技术的商业潜力，将Goodenough博士的阴极和碳阳极结合起来，为市场生产了世界上第一个安全的可充电锂离子电池。一场无线移动设备的革命由此爆发，智能手机、笔记本电脑、平板电脑以及清洁、安静的插电式汽车充斥着这个星球)”可知，索尼首款可充电锂离子电池被全球认可。故选D。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He studied Latin and Greek in the boarding school and mastered mathematics at Yale and meteorology in the Army Air Forces after graduation. (他在寄宿学校学习拉丁语和希腊语，毕业后在耶鲁大学学习数学，在陆军航空兵学习气象学)”，第四段中的“At M. I. T.’s laboratory in the 1950s, he was a member of teams that helped lay the groundwork for random access memory (RAM) in computers and developed plans for the first air defense system.(20世纪50年代，在麻省理工学院的实验室，他是团队的一员，帮助奠定了计算机随机存取存储器(RAM)的基础，并制定了第一个防空系统的计划)”，第六段中的“However, there was little interest in his discovery at first, and Oxford declined to patent it.(然而，一开始人们对他的发现兴趣不大，牛津大学也拒绝为其申请专利)”及“In 1991, Sony, recognizing the commercial potential of the emerging technology, combined Dr. Goodenough’s cathode (阴极) and a carbon anode (阳极) to produce the world’s first safe rechargeable lithium-ion battery for the marketplace.(1991年，索尼认识到这项新兴技术的商业潜力，将Goodenough博士的阴极和碳阳极结合起来，为市场生产了世界上第一个安全的可充电锂离子电池)”可知，约翰一生中发生的事情的先后顺序是接受学校教育、从事军事项目、在牛津受挫到最后的约翰电池的普及。故选C。 11．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“He received no royalties (技术使用费) for his work on the battery, only his salary for six decades as a scientist and professor at three prestigious colleges. Caring little for money, he signed away most of his rights. He shared patents with colleagues and donated incomes that came with his awards to research and scholarships.(他在电池方面的工作没有获得任何版税，只有他在三所著名大学担任科学家和教授60年的薪水。他不太在乎钱，签字放弃了大部分权利。他与同事分享专利，并将获奖所得捐赠给研究和奖学金)”可推知，John Goodenough非常慷慨。故选C。 12．主旨大意题。根据第一段“John Goodenough shared the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his crucial role in developing the revolutionary lithium-ion (锂离子) battery, the rechargeable power pack that is ubiquitous in today’s wireless electronic devices and electric and hybrid vehicles.(John Goodenough因在开发革命性的锂离子电池方面发挥的关键作用而分享了2019年诺贝尔化学奖。锂离子电池是一种可充电电源组，在当今的无线电子设备、电动和混合动力汽车中无处不在)”及下文可知，文章主要讲述了2019年诺贝尔化学奖得主John Goodenough的生平经历，尤其是其在锂离子电池方面发挥的关键作用。由此可知，A man who charged the world(一个给世界充电的人)适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。 （22-23高二上·上海·期中）The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom. I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher. A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar,assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a journalist by profession. Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire. Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after. 13．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph Two most probably mean? A．Hobbies and clubs did not interest the author. B．The author turned a deaf ear to joining clubs. C．Hobbies and clubs were inaccessible to immigrants like the author. D．The author had no idea what hobbies and clubs were all about. 14．Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently? A．Stepping on the American soil for the first time. B．Her mother’s miserable death. C．Being exposed to Greek literary works. D．Following the prettiest girl in his class. 15．It can be inferred from Paragraph Four that _______. A．Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation B．Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style C．The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired D．Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students 16．The passage is mainly concerned with _______. A．how the author became a journalist B．the importance of inspiration in one’s life C．the teacher who shaped the author’s life D．factors contributing to a successful career 【答案】13．D 14．C 15．D 16．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了决定作者人生轨迹的一位名叫玛乔丽·赫德的学校教师的教学故事。 13．词句猜测题。根据第二段第二句“Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.””(我刚到不久，就被告知要在“俱乐部时间”里选择一项爱好。)和第三句中的“but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class”(但我决定追随我们班最漂亮的女孩)可知，此处是指作者不了解业余爱好和俱乐部是什么。故选D。 14．细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins.”(她向我介绍了希腊的文学财富，让我对饱受战争摧残的祖国有了新的认识，让我为自己的出身感到自豪。)可知，接触希腊文学作品使作者对自己的祖国有了不同的看法。故选C。 15．推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.”(这些学生主要来自最困难的家庭，但她用自己特有的严厉的爱，时而对他们严苛，时而让他们着迷，直到火花燃起。)可知，赫德小姐用一种独特的方法来应对这些学生。故选D。 16．主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd.”(决定我人生轨迹的人是一位名叫玛乔丽·赫德的学校教师。)和最后一段“Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.”(是赫德小姐把我的悲伤和痛苦引导到写作中去的。如果不是赫德小姐，我不会成为一名记者。她是我进入新闻行业的催化剂，也间接促成了后来所有的好事。)可知，这篇文章主要是关于塑造了作者一生的老师。故选C。 （22-23高二上·上海浦东新·期中）When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed the people at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this world would be. At school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then, why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make our actions reflect your words.” I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur(激励)action. Now, ten years from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken. When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make choices - education, career, lifestyle - life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is progress, but we aren’t taught how to pursue a happy, healthy on sustainable way of living. And we are leaning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was idealistic and innocent. Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change. 17．The purpose of what the speaker said at the age of 12 was to ________. A．end poverty and make school beautiful B．end poverty and solve the problems about environment C．find a wonderful place and clean it up D．find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselves 18．What does the underlined word “ovation” in the second paragraph refer to ________. A．a long period of laughing B．a warm welcome C．a long period of clapping and applauses D．an expression used for greeting 19．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．the writer thinks what he thought at the age of 12 is mature. B．the writer’s children will certainly live in an ideal environment. C．the writer’s confidence in the people in power has deeply shaken their voice. D．the writer’s belief does not change when he grows up. 【答案】17．B 18．C 19．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者12岁时在里约地球峰会上发言，希望大人们能做到在学校教育孩子时的要求，解决贫困问题，找出治理环境的方法，建立一个和平、美丽的世界，他的发言受到各国代表热烈赞扬。十年后作者初衷未改变，从我做起一起改变这个世界。 17．推理判断题。根据第一段“I remember my enthusiasm when，at the age of 12,I addressed the people at the Rio Earth Summit. ‘I am only a child,’ I told them. ‘Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this world would be.’ (我还记得我12岁时在里约热内卢地球峰会上向人们讲话时的那种热情。‘我只是个孩子。’我告诉他们。‘但我知道，如果花在战争上的钱都花在消除贫困和寻找环境问题的答案上，这个世界将会变得多么美好。’)”可推断，演讲者在12岁时所演讲的目的是结束贫困和解决环境问题。故选B。 18．词义猜测题。根据划线词前半句“I spoke for six minutes (我讲了六分钟)”和后句“Some of the delegates even cried. (一些代表甚至哭了)”可知，作者的演讲受到了与会人员的赞同。由此猜测，他们听完后全场起立鼓掌。所以ovation为“鼓掌”之意。故选C。 19．细节理解题。根据最后一段“I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. (我知道改变是可能的，因为我正在改变，仍在思考我的想法。我还在决定如何生活)”可知，纵使会有再多改变作者仍坚守自己的信念。故选D。 （21-22高二上·上海奉贤·期中）After a car crash left 14-year-old Collin Smith unable to walk, doctors told him he had a 20 percent chance of finishing high school.The opportunity to attend college seemed even slimmer.Yet eight years later, Collin earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from High Point University.Collin had achieved the nearly impossible --- with the help of a kind man five decades his senior. Dial back to 2005.Ernest Greene had just moved to the same area that Collin and his parents lived.The families did not know each other.But when Ernest heard about Collin's accident and the fact that his parents would not be able to care full-time for their son, Ernest says, he felt a calling.“The Lord was leading me to help,” he says.He had time to spare. Ernest approached Collin’s parents with the idea that he would look after the boy while they were at work.The Smiths gratefully accepted.Collin, now23, says it was hard for him to understand then “how someone I didn’t know would drop everything to help me.” Ernest sought training to care for Collin and then began arriving at the Smiths’ home early on weekday mornings.He would help Collin get out of bed, wash, and dress.He would help him have breakfast.Then he’d drive Collin to school.And at 3 p.m., every day, Ernest would drive back to pick him up.Then, while the two waited for one of Collin's parents to get home, “we played a lot of Monopoly,” says Ernest with a laugh. Collin graduated from high school with the rest of his class and was accepted to nearby High Point.Ernest accompanied him to every class.“The first year was interesting,” Ernest recalls.“Collin didn't want to stick out.” Ernest.on the other hand, says he took full advantage of the opportunity, taking down notes and often commenting in class.

They were dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the grey, cold spring of New York vanished behind them. Vingo was on the bus from the beginning. As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice that Vingo never moved. He sat in front of the young people, his dusty face masking his age, dressed in a plain brown suit that did not fit him. He sat in complete silence and seemed completely unaware of the existence of the others. Deep into the night, the bus pulled into a Howard Johnson’s restaurant and everybody got off the bus except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him: perhaps he was a sea captain; maybe he could be an old soldier going home. In the morning they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s and this time Vingo went in. A girl invited him to join them. He seemed very shy and ordered black coffee and smoked nervously, as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches. When they got back on the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again. “Are you married?” “I don’t know.” “You don’t know?” she said. ‘‘Well, when I was in jail I wrote to my wife. I said, ‘Martha, I was going to be away a long time. If you couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, you could just forget me. I told her she didn’t have to write to me or anything, and she didn’t. Not for three-and-a-half years. “And you’re going home now, not knowing?” “Yeah. Well, last week, when I was sure the parole (有条件释放) was coming through I wrote her again. I told her that if she had a new guy, I understood. But, if she didn’t, if she would take me back she should let me know. We used to live in Brunswick, and there’s a great oak tree just as you come into town. I told her if she would take me back, she should tie a yellow ribbon (丝带) to the tree, and I would get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it, no ribbon and I’d understand and keep going on through.” “Wow,” the girl said “Wow.” She told the others, and soon all of them were caught up in the approach of Brunswick. Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took the window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-criminal’s mask, and ________ . Then it was 10 miles, and then five, and the bus became very quiet. Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances, shaking clenched fists in triumph and exaltation. All except Vingo. Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree through his misty eyes. The tree was covered with yellow ribbons, 30 of them, 50 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a flag of welcome, blowing and billowing in the wind. As the young people shouted, the old ex-criminal slowly rose from his seat, holding himself tightly, and made his way to the front of the bus to go home. 24．In the beginning, Vingo was sting in silence without interacting with others most probably because ________. A．he was too shy and nervous to utter a word B．he was lost in thought and uncertainty. C．he did not want to ruin the joyful atmosphere among other passengers. D．he felt inferior to others due to his criminal past 25．What can we learn about the six passengers? A．They embarrassed Vingo by breaking his silence. B．They hid their great concern for Vingo’s past. C．They showed trust and sympathy towards Vingo. D．They hoped Vingo could make his own decision instead of waiting for his wife’s response. 26．Which sentence will fit best in the blank in the third to last paragraph? A．preparing himself for still another disappointment. B．wanting to get away from the other passengers’ noise. C．not ready to accept whatever lies ahead for him. D．hoping he did not inform the other passengers of his story. 27．What does the hundreds of yellow ribbons in the end symbolize? A．a show of respect from Vingo’s family. B．a last warning from Vingo’s wife. C．a expression of sympathy from Vingo’s wife. D．a display of forgiveness from Vingo’s wife. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．A 27．D 【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述一群年轻人在火车上遇到刚出狱的Vingo，得知Vingo出狱前写信告诉妻子，如果原谅他，就在门口树上系一条黄丝带，他就下车回家，这一群年轻人和Vingo一起等到了满树飘扬的黄丝带。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段“He sat in complete silence and seemed completely unaware of the existence of the others.(他静静地坐着，似乎完全没有意识到其他人的存在)”和倒数第五段“I told her if she would take me back, she should tie a yellow ribbon (丝带) to the tree, and I would get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it, no ribbon and I’d understand and keep going on through. (我告诉她如果她会重新接纳我，她就在树上系一条黄丝带，我就下车回家。如果她不想要我，就算了，没有丝带，我就明白了，并继续走我的路)”可推知，Vingo有 心事，他不知道自己的妻子是否还会接纳他，所以他陷入沉思，对前路不确定。故选B项。 25．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took the window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree.(现在他们离布伦瑞克只有20英里了，那年轻人坐在车右边靠窗的座位上，等待着那棵大橡树的出现)”和倒数第二段“Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances, shaking clenched fists in triumph and exaltation.(突然，所有的年轻人都从座位上站了起来，尖叫、叫喊、哭泣，跳着小舞，挥舞着紧握的拳头，欢呼雀跃)”可推知，这六个年轻乘客相信Vingo的故事 并给予同情，希望他能得到妻子的接纳。故选C项。 26．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-criminal’s mask, (文戈不再看了，一张紧绷的脸贴在之前的罪犯面具上)”可推知，Vingo感到非常紧张，不敢看，怕看不到黄丝带，A项“preparing himself for still another disappointment.(准备迎接另一次失望)”能体现出当时Vingo的心态。故选A项。 27．推理判断题。根据倒数第五段“I told her if she would take me back, she should tie a yellow ribbon (丝带) to the tree, and I would get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it, no ribbon and I’d understand and keep going on through. (我告诉她如果她会重新接纳我，她就在树上系一条黄丝带，我就下车回家。如果她不想要我，就算了，没有丝带，我就明白了，并继续走我的路)”可知，黄丝带意味着妻子对Vingo的接纳，所以文章最后数以百计的黄丝带意味着妻子对Vingo的接纳和原谅。故选D项。 （20-21高二上·上海浦东新·期中）Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. "There's so much to learn," he'd say. "Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way." He was determined that none of his children would be denied an education. Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point. Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning. Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. "Felice," he'd say, "tell me what you learned today." "I learned that the population of Nepal is ..." Silence. Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. "The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well ..." he'd say. "Get the map; let's see where Nepal is." And the whole family went on a search for Nepal. This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts. As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting out input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher. Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along - the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful. 28．What do we know from the first paragraph? A．The poor could hardly afford school education. B．Those born stupid could not change their life. C．The town elders wanted to learn about the world. D．The author's father was born in a worker's family. 29．The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to "________" A．one new thing B．a request C．some comment D．the news 30．It can be learned from the passage that the author ________. A．enjoyed talking about news B．knew very well about Nepal C．appreciated his father's educational technique D．felt regret about those wasted days 31．What is the greatest value of "dinner time" to the author? A．Showing talents B．Continual learning C．Family get-together D．Winning Papa's approval 【答案】28．A 29．D 30．C 31．B 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者的父亲由于贫穷无法读书，但是他对学习很重视，要求自己的孩子每天都要学习新知识，强调持续学习。表达了作者对于父亲的敬爱。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then.(爸爸是一个赤贫农民的儿子，他很早就离开了学校，到一家工厂工作，因为那时教育是富人的事)”可知，穷人几乎负担不起学校教育。故选 A。 29．词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant”可知我们会谈论一天的新闻，不论这新闻重要与否，都不会掉以轻心。可知，it 指代的是上文的news，故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life.(后来，在我接受培训成为一名未来的教师期间，我师从了一些最著名的教育家。他们在传授爸爸一直都知道的东西——持续学习的价值。他的技术使我受益终生)”可推知，作者很欣赏他父亲的教育技巧。故选C。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning.His technique has served me well all my life.(他们在传授爸爸一直都知道的东西——持续学习的价值。他的技术使我受益终生)”结合上文讲述父亲每天都让孩子们讨论当天所发生的重大事情，以此来让孩子每天都学到新的知识，这样的讨论都是在吃饭的时候进行的，由此可推知“dinner time”对作者最大的价值是持续学习。故选B。 （20-21高二上·上海浦东新·期中）The butterfly, which is competitive swimming’s newest stroke (划水), was developed in the mid-1930s, but it wasn’t allowed in the Olympics until 1956. The story of the butterfly is a good illustration of how coaches and swimmers are constantly searching for ways to improve stroke efficiency. During the 1920s, the Japanese Olympic coaches used underwater photography to research stroke mechanics, and their efforts paid off when Japanese competitors won five of the six men’s swimming gold medals at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. It was a wake-up call to the rest of the swimming world, and one of the top US coaches — David Armbruster at the University of Iowa — began doing his own filming. Armbruster was seeking to make the breaststroke faster. He knew that the action of bringing their arms forward underwater slowed breaststrokes down, so he came up with a method of bringing the arms forward over the water. The revised stroke (he kept the breaststroke kick) brought great improvements in speed. The following year, Jack Sieg, an Iowa swimmer, developed a technique involving swimming on his side and beating his legs in unison (一致) similar to a fish tail. As Armbruster later explained in the book Weissmuller to Spitz: The History and Background of the Olympic Games: “Sieg tried the same action while swimming face down. Sieg synchronized his leg action with the butterfly arm action using two leg beats to each arm pull.” But the kick was ruled illegal because the legs moved in the vertical (垂直的) plane. Within a few years, nearly every breaststroker was using this overarm butterfly action without the kick. The pure butterfly wasn’t legalized for some two decades, but at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne “the fly” became an official event. 32．The best title of the article is _____. A．Why did the coaches and swimmers improve stroke efficiency? B．How did the butterfly come into being? C．How did the Japanese wake up the swimming world? D．When did “the fly” become an official event? 33．The Japanese coaches use underwater photography in order to ______. A．wake up the swimming world B．be paid more money C．know how to be a mechanic D．improve stroke efficiency 34．Before the pure butterfly was officially recognized, ______ years or so had passed . A．15 B．20 C．30 D．35 35．According to the passage, which statement is NOT true? A．The Japanese coaches improved butterfly stroke. B．David Armbruster used filming to study stroke mechanics. C．Sieg came up with the idea of beating legs like a fish tail. D．The butterfly was added to the Olympics in 1956. 【答案】32．B 33．D 34．B 35．A 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了蝶泳的发展历程。蝶泳发展于20世纪30年代中期，但直到1956年才获准参加奥运会。蝶泳的故事很好地说明了教练和游泳运动员是如何不断地寻找提高游泳效率的方法的。 32．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“ The story of the butterfly is a good illustration of how coaches and swimmers are constantly searching for ways to improve stroke efficiency.(蝶泳的故事很好地说明了教练和游泳运动员是如何不断地寻找提高游泳效率的方法的)”及下文介绍可知，本文主要讲述了蝶泳的发展历程。由此可知，How did the butterfly come into being?(蝶泳是如何形成的？)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“During the 1920s, the Japanese Olympic coaches used underwater photography to research stroke mechanics, and their efforts paid off when Japanese competitors won five of the six men’s swimming gold medals at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles.”可知，20世纪20年代，日本奥运教练利用水下摄影技术研究泳姿力学。1932年洛杉矶奥运会上，日本选手赢得了6枚男子游泳金牌中的5枚，他们的努力得到了回报。由此可知，日本教练使用水下摄影来提高泳姿效率。故选D。 34．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The pure butterfly wasn’t legalized for some two decades, but at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne “the fly” became an official event.”可知，20多年来，纯蝶泳一直不被认可，但在1956年墨尔本奥运会上，“纯蝶泳”成为正式比赛项目。由此可知，在纯蝶泳被正式认可之前，已经过去了20年左右。故选B。 35．细节理解题。根据第二段中“During the 1920s, the Japanese Olympic coaches used underwater photography to research stroke mechanic ...”（20世纪20年代，日本奥运教练利用水下摄影技术研究泳姿力学）可知B选项正确，排除B；根据第五段“The following year, Jack Sieg, an Iowa swimmer, developed a technique involving swimming on his side and beating his legs in unison (一致) similar to a fish tail. ”（第二年，爱荷华州的游泳运动员Jack Sieg发明了一种技术，包括侧着游泳，并像鱼尾一样齐声拍打双腿）可知C选项正确，排除C；根据最后一段“The pure butterfly wasn’t legalized for some two decades, but at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne “the fly” became an official event.”（20多年来，纯蝶泳一直不被认可，但在1956年墨尔本奥运会上，“纯蝶泳”成为正式比赛项目）可知D选项描述正确，排除D，但是没有提及“日本教练提高了蝶泳的水平”。故选A。 （20-21高二上·上海黄浦·期中）Math, Taught like Football Growing up, I thought math class was something to be endured, not enjoyed. I disliked memorizing formulas and taking tests, all for the dull goal of getting a good grade. But my problem wasn’t with math itself. In fact, I spent countless hours as a child doing logic and math puzzles on my own, and as a teenager, when a topic seemed particularly interesting, I would go to the library and read more about it. By high school, none of my teachers questioned my mathematical talent, but none of them really encouraged it, either. No one told me that I could become a professional mathematician. What I wanted to do then was to play college football. My ambition was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school. The chances of that happening were very low. In high school, I was just an above-average athlete and my high school was not a “feeder” school for college sports programs. That didn’t stop me from dreaming, though. And it didn’t stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal, and preparing and pushing me to work for it. They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country. It didn’t matter that I didn’t initially attract much interest from the big schools. My coaches kept picking up the phone, and kept convincing me to try to prove myself. In the end, a Big Ten school, Pennstate, did offer me a scholarship. A growing body of research shows that students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan. They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers, and they seek a sense of purpose. They benefit from specific instructions, constant feedback and a culture of earning that encourages resilience in the face of failure. Until I got to college, I didn’t really know what mathematics was. I still thought of it as problem sets and laborious computations. Then one day, one of my professors handed me a book and suggested that I think about a particular problem. It wasn’t easy, but it was fascinating. My professor kept giving me problems, and I kept pursuing them. Before long, he was introducing me to problems that had never been solved before and urging me to find new techniques to help crack them. I am now a Ph. D．candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and I have published several papers in mathematical journals. I still feel that childlike excitement every time I complete a proof. I wish I’d known this was possible when I was a kid. 36．Why did the writer think math class in school was “something to be endured” before entering college? A．Because he wasn’t interested in math. B．Because his math teachers didn’t care to push him. C．Because he was too smart and talented for math class. D．Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship. 37．According to the writer, students are affected by the following things from teachers or coaches EXCEPT __________. A．passion B．constant feedback C．a sense of purpose D．specific instructions 38．We can conclude that after entering college, the writer___________. A．was busy looking for problem sets to crack B．began to realize what mathematics really is C．met with laborious computations in his studies D．studied on his own just as he was in high school 39．What does “this” in the last sentence mean? A．Feeling the children excitement. B．Different mathematical research. C．Generating curiosity and creativity. D．Being a professional mathematician. 【答案】36．B 37．C 38．B 39．D 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者大学以前不喜欢数学，老师也没有逼他。作者希望数学老师更像足球教练那样给与他鼓励。学生不仅会受到教案质量的影响。他们还会对老师的热情和同龄人的参与做出反应，并寻求目标感。到了大学后，作者才真正知道数学是什么。它更接近于作者小时候独自做的数学和逻辑难题，它给了作者同样的好奇心和好奇心，它奖励了作者的创造力。 36．细节理解题。根据第二段“By high school, none of my teachers questioned my mathematical talent, but none of them really encouraged it, either. No one told me that I could become a professional mathematician.。到了高中，我的老师没有一个质疑过我的数学天赋，但也没有一个真正鼓励我的数学天赋。没有人告诉我，我可以成为一个专业数学家。”可知在学校的时候他的数学老师不愿意督促、逼迫他。故选B。 37．细节理解题。根据第四段“A growing body of research shows that students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan. They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers, and they seek a sense of purpose. They benefit from specific instructions and constant feedback(反馈). 越来越多的研究表明，影响学生的不仅仅是教学计划的质量。他们还会对老师的热情和同龄人的参与做出回应，他们还会寻求一种使命感。他们受益于特定的指令和持续的反馈。”可知他们受到老师的热情，具体的指导和同龄人不断的反馈的影响。而目标感是学生自己的。故选C。 38．细节理解题，根据第五段“Until I got to college, I didn't really know what mathematics was. 直到上了大学，我才真正知道数学是什么。”可知作者进入大学才开始意识到数学到底是什么，故选B。 39．词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“I am now a Ph. D. candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and I have published several papers in mathematical journals. I still feel that childlike excitement every time I complete a proof. I wish I’d known this was possible when I was a kid. 我现在在麻省理工学院攻读数学博士学位，我在数学期刊上发表过几篇论文。每当我完成一个证明，我仍然能感受到那种孩子般的兴奋。我希望在我还是个孩子的时候就知道这是可能的。”可知，划线处“this”指代上文提到的攻读数学博士，发表论文等，即成为一名专业的数学家。故选D。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
