Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal.
The woman, 85-year-old Janet Fein, received her bachelor’s degree (学士学位) from the University of Texas in December, 2018. Fein has had a full life. She raised five children and then had a career as a secretary (秘书) until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology (社会学). Fein grew up in the Bronx area of New York City. In high school, she just wanted to finish and get a job. After graduating early, at the age of 16, she went to work as a secretary.
Fein has had a full life. She raised five children and then had a career as a secretary (秘书) until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology (社会学).
After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs throughout her life, including being a secretary at a Dallas hospital. That is the job she retired from in 2011. She received an associate degree (专科学位) in 1995. But she also wanted to earn a bachelor’s degree. Fein took part in a state program that lets people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in Texas.
She kept going to class even as her health condition worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she needed oxygen (氧气) too. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements.
Renee Brown is one of Fein’s care-givers. She says Fein has also inspired her. At 53, she plans to begin nursing school to further her career. Brown says Fein told her, “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you also can do it, and you will feel so good about it.”
4. When did Janet Fein start to work?
A. In 1949. B. In 1995. C. In 2018 D. In 2012.
5. What does she study for her bachelor’s degree?
A. Secretary. B. Sociology. C. History. D. Health.
6. What does the underlined word “inspired” probably mean in the last paragraph?

7. What can we learn from Janet Fein’s story?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Janet Fein凭借自己的努力,在85岁时获得了学士学位的故事,告诉我们学习永远不会太迟,活到老,学到老。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段内容“The woman, 85-year-old Janet Fein, received her bachelor’s degree (学士学位) from the University of Texas in December, 2018.”(这个女人,85岁的Janet Fein,于2018年12月从德克萨斯大学获得了学士学位。)可知,Janet Fein于2018年12月获得了学士学位,那时她85岁,由此可知,她是1933年出生的。再根据关键句“After graduating early, at the age of 16, she went to work as a secretary.”(在毕业后初期,16岁时,她去当了秘书。)可知,她是在16岁时开始工作的,由此可知,Janet Fein是在1949年开始工作的。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“She raised five children and then had a career as a secretary (秘书) until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology (社会学).”(她抚养了五个孩子,然后从事秘书工作直到她77岁退休。但即使在那时,她还没有准备好在一个理应得到的退休生活中放松和休息。她决定主修社会学。)可知,Janet Fein在退休后没有打算放松和休息,她决定主修社会学。由此可知,Janet Fein攻读学士学位学习的是社会学。故选B项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“She says Fein has also inspired her. At 53, she plans to begin nursing school to further her career.”(她说Fein也inspired她。53岁时,她计划进入护理学校继续自己的职业生涯。)可知,是Janet Fein鼓舞了她继续职业生涯,故可推测划线单词意思为“鼓舞;鼓励”,故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。浏览文章可知,文章主要介绍了Janet Fein在85岁高龄时获得了学士学位的故事。再结合最后一段关键句“She says Fein has also inspired her. At 53, she plans to begin nursing school to further her career. Brown says Fein told her,“Renee, you can do it. If I can do it, you also can do it, and you will feel so good about it.””(她说Fein也激励了她。53岁的她计划开始上护理学校,以进一步发展自己的事业。Brown说Fein告诉她,“Renee,你能行的。如果我能做到,你也能做到,向着自己的目标努力,你会感觉很好的。”)可知,Janet Fein通过自己的经历激励他人,尽管年纪大了,但仍然可以继续学习,完成自己的梦想,由此可知,我们能从Janet Fein的故事中学到,学习永远不会太迟,活到老,学到老。故选D项。
C
Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.
I know exactly how you feel. Teenage life can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to consider your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. Above all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up. I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!
As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my routine tasks on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my homework, study for the upcoming tests and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while keeping a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won’t let you go out with friends because you haven’t cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven’t finished your homework.
8. Who are the target readers of this passage?
A. Parents B. Scientists
C. Teachers D. Teenagers.
9. What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer?
A. The lack of life experience. B. The physical changes.
C. The failure of concentration. D. The unfamiliar surroundings.
10. How did the writer feel about her teenage life?
A. It was enjoyable. B. It was simple.
C. It was boring. D. It was difficult.
11. What does the writer advise teenagers to do?
A. Take on responsibilities. B. Go and have fun.
C. Finish their homework. D. Give up their friends.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们,如果你懂得如何处理日常烦恼,你的青少年生活就没有那么难了。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.(青少年的生活充满戏剧性,但这并不意味着你不能享受这几年的生活。即使你每天都有烦恼,如果你知道如何处理它们,你的生活也不会很艰难)”可知,本文为青少年处理日常生活提出建议,故文章的目标读者是青少年。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Above all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up. I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!(最重要的是,你体内的荷尔蒙失衡真的会让你一团糟。我也经历过。我花了六年时间探索生活的真谛!)”可知,在所有的影响因素中,身体里的荷尔蒙不平衡会使得青少年的生活变得一团糟,所以身体上的变化让青少年的生活变得艰难。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!(我也经历过。我花了六年时间探索生活的真谛!)”和第三段中“As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my routine tasks on time. (十几岁的时候,我在按时完成日常任务方面遇到了很大的问题)”可以推断,作者的青少年生活是有很多问题,即是困难的。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities. (现在生活变得轻松多了,因为我按时完成了所有的工作,有足够的时间放松。青少年有一半的问题是因为我们讨厌做事。我们宁愿去玩,也不愿坐下来承担责任)”可知,作者建议青少年承担自己该有的责任,生活就没有那么难了。故选A。
D
It’s reported that scientists in London have found the best diet for both humans and the planet.
If the world followed the so-called “planetary health” diet, each year more than ll million early deaths could be avoided according to the scientists. For the health of the planet, they say the same diet will reduce (减少) greenhouse gases and save more land, water and animals. This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal.
Tim Lang, a professor at Britain’s University of London. He said, “The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.” Lang added, The world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050. If we want to feed everyone, we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste”. So, what do you eat on the “planetary health” diet?
The scientists who created the “planetary health” diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk, fish and meat. The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts, fruits, and vegetable.
Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about the “planetary health” diet. He said, “More than 800 million people around the world do not get enough food while many more people have very unhealthy diets.”
The scientists think it difficult to reach their aim. But for them, doing nothing is also not a choice Willet said, “If we can’t make the best diet, it’s better to try and get as close as we can.”
12. What decides the health of people and the planet according to Tim Lang?
A. The taste of the food.
B. The number of population.
C. The climate and our living conditions.
D. The food we eat and the way we produce it.
13. What does the “planetary health” diet mainly contain?
A. Milk. B. Meat.
C. Sugar. D. Plants.
14. What do scientists say about the “planetary health” diet?
A. It is very easy to produce it.
B. It is better to try their best to make it.
C. It is better to do nothing than fail.
D. It is impossible to make it.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Humans Health Is Very Important.
B. Many People don’t Get Enough Food.
C. A New Kind of diet may Save the Plane.
D. Different People have Different Eating Habits.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了伦敦几位科学家最近发现的所谓的“地球健康”饮食方式。介绍了这种饮食方式对地球的好处、可以通过改变人们的饮食方式进而保护地球的潜力、这种饮食中的具体内容以及这个项目探究的意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由题干中的Tim Lang可将本题答案定位在第三自然段。由其中的“The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.(我们所吃的食物以及我们制作食物的方式决定了人类和地球是否健康。)”可知,是我们所吃的食物以及我们制作食物的方式决定了人类和地球是否健康。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文中的The scientists who created the “planetary health” diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk, fish and meat.(创制这种饮食方式的科学家表示,这种饮食方式是以植物为主,但依然包含少量的奶制品和鱼肉。)可知,“planetary health” diet包含的大部分为植物。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段中的If we can’t make the best diet, it’s better to try and get as close as we can.(如果我们无法实现目标,那么尝试一下并尽可能接近于目标是更好的选择。)可知,科学家们认为尽可能的去制作“地球健康”饮食是更好的。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段中“It’s reported that scientists in London have found the best diet for both humans and the planet.(伦敦数位科学家表示,他们发现了对人类和地球极好的饮食方式。)”可知,文章主要介绍这种新的饮食方式。选项C中的new kind of diet与这一主题呼应。且其中的Save the Planet与“planetary health” diet呼应,故选C。
【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考察方式,标题题(best title)是其一个典型的考点,也是高考阅读中每年的必考题。主旨大意题解题技巧是不要被文章细节所干扰。一般有两种方式解题:一是看首尾段,根据首尾段内容总结主题思想;二是看每段段首句,根据所有段首句总结主题思想。例如本文中的第四题,就是标题题。这是一篇说明文,文章一开始就说明了本文谈论的主题:一种极好的饮食方式。剩下段落都是对它的解释。故选C。

She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes. . . but I don’t have money on me…” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Jenny和妈妈发生争吵,离家出走。游荡在街道上的Jenny饥肠辘辘,幸好一个面摊的老板请她吃面。想到妈妈的无情和陌生人的善良,Jenny伤心地哭了起来。
【47题详解】
考查名词。根据第一段中“She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.(那天下午她和妈妈吵了一架,生气地跑出了屋子。)”可知,Jenny离家是很生气;题干中作介词宾语,用名词anger。故第①空填anger;
2.考查形容词。根据第一段中“She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.(一想到母亲的责骂,她就忍不住伤心地哭了起来。)”可知,Jenny感到很伤心并哭了起来;题干中作表语,用形容词sorrowful。故第②空填sorrowful;
3.考查非谓语动词。根据第一段中“Wandering aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry(她在街上漫无目地游荡了几个小时,感到有点饿了)”可知,Jenny街上游荡;题干中用现在分词作伴随状语,句首单词首字母大写。故第③空填Wandering;
4.考查动词时态。根据第一段中“she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat(她感到有点饿,想要吃点东西)”可知,Jenny饿了,想吃东西;用动词expect作谓语动词,意为“期待”,讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态expected。故第④空填expected;
5.考查形容词。根据第一段中“she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her(她感到有点饿了,想要吃点东西,但那是不可能的)”可知,找不到吃的,吃东西是不可能的;用形容词impossible作表语。故第⑤空填impossible;
6.根据第四段中““That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man.(“没关系。今天我请你,”那人说。)”可知,面摊的小贩请Jenny吃面;用动词treat作谓语动词,讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态treated。故第⑥空填treated;
7.考查形容词。根据第五段中“As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.(珍妮一边吃,一边默默地哭着。)”和第七段中““Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.(“没什么,其实我只是被你的善良感动了!”珍妮一边擦眼泪一边说。)”可知,Jenny被小贩的善良感动了,默默地哭泣;用形容词moved作表语。故第⑦空填moved;
8.考查名词。根据第七段中““Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.(“没什么,其实我只是被你的善良感动了!”珍妮一边擦眼泪一边说。)”可知,Jenny被小贩的善良感动了;用名词kindness作宾语。故第⑧空填kindness;
9.根据最后一段中“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!(即使是街上陌生人也会给我一碗面条,而我的母亲则把我赶出家门。她对我毫不关心。与陌生人相比,她是如此无情!)”可知,Jenny在抱怨自己的妈妈;用动词complain作谓语动词,用一般过去时态。故第⑨空填complained;
10.考查形容词。根据最后一段中“She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!(她对我毫不关心。与陌生人相比,她是如此无情!)”可知,Jenny认为妈妈对自己太严厉了;用形容词strict作表语。故第⑩空填strict;
【48题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第一段中“She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.(那天下午她和妈妈吵了一架,生气地跑出了房子。)”可推知,Jenny是在和妈妈吵架后跑出去的,所以,跑出房子后,她应该仍然在生妈妈的气。故答案为:Jenny was angry with her mother.
【49题详解】
考查推理判断。根据故事情节可知,在听了Jenny的抱怨后,面摊老板会安慰她,他可能这样说:女孩,你真的这么想吗?我只给了你一碗面条,你却很感谢我。但从你还是个婴儿起,就是你妈妈把你养大的。你能数出她给你做饭的次数吗?你向她表示感谢了吗? 故答案为:Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?
【50题详解】
考查推理判断。根据故事情节可知,在听了面摊老板的话后,Jenny认识到了自己的错误,理解了妈妈伟大的爱,所以她会回到了家,并给妈妈道歉。故答案为:Jenny will finally understand her mother’s love and return home to apologize to her mom.

The woman 85-year-old Janet Fein, received her bachelor’s degree (学士学位) from the University of Texas in December, 2018. Fein has had a full life. She raised five children and then had a career as a secretary (秘书) until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement.

She kept going to class even as her health condition worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she needed oxygen (氧气) too. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements.
Renee Brown is one of Fein’s care-givers. She says Fein has also inspired her. At 53, she plans to begin nursing school to further her career. Brown says Fein told her, “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you also can do it, and you will feel so good about it.”

Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.
I know exactly how you feel. Teenage life can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to consider your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. Above all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up. I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!
As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my routine tasks on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my homework, study for the upcoming tests and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while keeping a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won’t let you go out with friends because you haven’t cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven’t finished your homework.
8. Who are the target readers of this passage?
A. Parents B. Scientists
C. Teachers D. Teenagers.
9. What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer?
A. The lack of life experience. B. The physical changes.
C. The failure of concentration. D. The unfamiliar surroundings.
10. How did the writer feel about her teenage life?
A. It was enjoyable. B. It was simple.
C. It was boring. D. It was difficult.
11 What does the writer advise teenagers to do?
A. Take on responsibilities. B. Go and have fun.
C. Finish their homework. D. Give up their friends.

It’s reported that scientists in London have found the best diet for both humans and the planet.
If the world followed the so-called “planetary health” diet, each year more than ll million early deaths could be avoided according to the scientists. For the health of the planet, they say the same diet will reduce (减少) greenhouse gases and save more land, water and animals. This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal.
Tim Lang, a professor at Britain’s University of London. He said, “The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.” Lang added, The world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050. If we want to feed everyone, we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste”. So, what do you eat on the “planetary health” diet?
The scientists who created the “planetary health” diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk, fish and meat. The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts, fruits, and vegetable.
Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about the “planetary health” diet. He said, “More than 800 million people around the world do not get enough food while many more people have very unhealthy diets.”
The scientists think it difficult to reach their aim. But for them, doing nothing is also not a choice Willet said, “If we can’t make the best diet, it’s better to try and get as close as we can.”
12. What decides the health of people and the planet according to Tim Lang?
A. The taste of the food.
B. The number of population.
C. The climate and our living conditions.
D. The food we eat and the way we produce it.
13. What does the “planetary health” diet mainly contain?
A. Milk. B. Meat.
C. Sugar. D. Plants.
14. What do scientists say about the “planetary health” diet?
A. It is very easy to produce it.
B. It is better to try their best to make it.

任务型阅读
Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Wandering aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes. . . but I don’t have money on me…” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
