Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, in marathons. This love story began in Winchester Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled (缠住) by the umbilical cord (脐带) during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs (四肢). “He’ll be a vegetable (植物人) the rest of his life,” doctors told Dick and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. “Put him in an institution.” But the Hoyts weren’t buying it. They noticed the way Rick’s eyes followed them around the room. When Rick was 11, they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University. Equipped with a computer, Rick was finally able to communicate. After a high school classmate was paralyzed (使瘫痪) in an accident, and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick said, “Dad, I want to do that.” How was Dick, a man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore!” That sentence changed Dick’s life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. They even decided to try marathons. “No way,” Dick was told by a race official. They weren’t quite a single runner, and they weren’t quite a wheelchair competitor. For a few years, Dick and Rick joined the massive field and ran anyway. In 1983, they ran another marathon so fast that they made the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon the following year. Now they’ve done 212 triathlons and 85 marathons. “My dad is the Father of the Century,” Rick typed. 1．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean? A．The Hoyts didn’t believe it was true. B．The Hoyts couldn’t afford any institution. C．The Hoyts couldn’t deal with the situation. D．The Hoyts had no money for their son’s treatment. 2．What’s discussed in the third paragraph? A．Why Rick became paralyzed. B．How Rick started running. C．Why running changed Rick’s life. D．How Rick communicated with others. 3．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．A boy with a rare disease B．The greatest dad in the world C．A tough road to marathons D．Parents’ influence on children’s life （23-24高一上·浙江杭州·期中）I started to worry when the golf car taking me, Steve, and our suitcases stopped in the middle of the Maine forest. A yurt (蒙古包) is a tent tall enough to stand in and wide enough to fit a big family. But I didn’t see it anywhere. “You hike from here,” said the driver, pointing down a weedy (杂草丛生的) path. The woods were darkening, and Steve encouraged me to pick up the pace. My summer sandals (凉鞋) slipped on the wet leaves. Steve and I spent a good hour until we spotted the light of the yurt. Steve skillfully lit a fire. We ate some sandwiches, had a few beers, and settled in for a good night’s sleep. But I couldn’t relax. I shook Steve awake. “The door to the yurt doesn’t lock,” I said. “What if a bear wanders into the camp?” “Don’t worry. Moose (驼鹿) are a bigger problem here than bears,” he said. “Well, what if someone decides to rob us? Or what if one of the locals wants to teach us a lesson?” “OK,” Steve said with a heavy sigh. He forcefully placed a chair under the door handle. “There, additional protection.” He smiled. “And even if someone gets through the door, you’ll have time to grab that book and use it as a weapon.” I laughed. Sleep moved in. We could enjoy our weekend. When we “checked out” three mornings later. I was the first one up. That’s when I realized that the door opened ... out. The chair had been serving no purpose other than to keep me quiet. “So,” I said, as we walked heavily back to meet the golf car. “How else have you been ‘handling’ me this weekend?” He smiled. “Well.

Sometimes she knitted hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project. “I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said. My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and said in a proud tune, “I’m the only person she talked to today.” It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator.

A．Seniors blessing B．A new project C．Nightly calls, lifeline calls D．Call your parents often （22-23高一上·全国·期中）I turned off the classroom light, only to find a tearful Laura outside the door. “Sister Jo, can I talk to you? Do you have time?” Switching the light on again, I smiled, “I always have time for you, honey.” Honestly speaking, Laura’s troubled face left me no choice. We sat in the empty classroom as she described the effect her dad’s alcoholism (酗酒) was having. I listened, handing her tissues (纸巾). After half an hour, she said, “I know you can’t do anything about it, but thanks for listening. My mom keeps saying, ‘He’s sick! Alcoholism is a disease!’” I gave her a hug. Then it hit me. Why hadn’t I taken Laura out walking with me? The next day was just as lovely. “Today I’ll walk!” I promised. But at 3:00 pm, Brian was at the door. “Hi, can I talk to you?” “Sure,” I answered. “But it’s such perfect weather. Can we go for a walk?” We circled the small lake near our school and talked about helping emotionally (感情上) troubled kids. On Laura’s next visit, she happily accepted my invitation to walk. I had a surprise for her. Classmate Tom had given me brochures (小手册) from Alateen. “Someone in your class said his uncle has the same problem.” I told Laura. “If I may share your story, he’ll drive you to Alateen meetings. By attending Alateen meetings, young people gain an understanding of alcoholism and feel the advantages of realizing they are not alone with an alcoholic parent.” And so, it became a pattern.

For the cat owner Zack King, his cat Billy’s life was enigmatic. Free-spirited felines(猫类) who like to spend time outdoors are often gone for hours at a time, leaving their owners wondering where they’ve been or what they’ve been up to. However, King soon discovered that his beloved cat was serving as a “postcat”. Billy comes and goes as he pleases through a cat door. One day in October, when Billy was inside, King noticed a folded piece of paper covered in a plastic wrap in his collar. King carefully unwrapped it and was surprised to find a note from his neighbors. “Your cat likes to come to visit us when he is outside,” it read. “He will sit at the door and run into our house. We have no idea where he comes from. He always wants people to give him lots of scratches(挠痒). What’s his name? Does he have an owner?” King wrote a note back, attached it to Billy’s collar, and hoped it would make it to the original sender. “We’re so glad he’s making friends with the neighbors,” it read. “His name is Billy.” It wasn’t long before Billy came back with another note, and now months later, the neighbors are still pen friends. “We both like watching movies online and cooking at home,” King said. “We have no idea what the neighbors look like. We could ask for details but there’s no need—it’s nice to have some privacy sometimes.” “I was frustrated as the nights got colder and darker. Billy is spending more time indoors and sweet exchanges have become less frequent,” he says. “To be honest, a closed door and a sensitive alarm can ensure the safety of our houses.

Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply... All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday. But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees. He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amusement park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amusement park proposal that he presented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as fortunate setback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected. The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called "Disneyland". The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park. Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28, 154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success. Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down. 1．What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amusement park? A．His ambition to expand beyond the movie industry. B．His animators’ suggestion on an entertainment plan. C．His wish to create a better place for family recreation. D．His daughters’ unpleasant experience in the Griffith Park. 2．By “Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate setback” in paragraph 3, the author means the rejection ________. A．brought good luck to Disney and his park B．contributed to the difficulty of opening the park C．was viewed as a financial obstacle to the design of the park D．presented Disney with a favorable opportunity to rethink his plan 3．What can be learned about Disneyland from the passage? A．Everything went on smoothly before it opened. B．It spent $5 million on advertising for its opening. C．People’s enthusiasm for it increased despite criticism. D．Only invited guests could get into it on its opening day. 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Disneyland: How It All Began B．Disneyland: An Overnight Success C．Disneyland: How It Developed D．Disneyland: A Park with a Long History （23-24高一上·甘肃天水·期中）Joy Chapman,70, retired from work in 2018 but decided she’d never become a “boring” granny.

Shocked by the deaths in the 2018 Camp Fire, California’s frightening wildfire, Honary turned his attention to how to decrease future disasters. In 2019, Honary won a $10,000 prize in the Ignite Innovation Student Challenge for his early wildfire detection (检测) network, which provides app technology for firefighters. He was only in fifth grade at the time. Turning 14 years old and going into the eighth grade this year, Honary is busy working in SensoRy AI, the company he set up. With the help of his father and a team of experts, the company has received a lot of attention. Honary started creating websites when he was in third grade. He learned Python and JavaScript in a local after-school program. At the same time, he was interested in animals and the environment. He became worried as he saw how much the environment was under pressure. When wildfires started ruining the air quality, destroying homes and killing some people, Honary thought about how AI can be used to solve environmental problems such as wildfires. In order to get data to train the machine learning models on his fire detectors, he collected real-world data from Google Earth about the Camp Fire of 2018 in California. Once a fire is detected by a fire detector, the information can be sent to the app he created. Also, machine learning can be used to predict where the fires are going.

Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 1．What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Stress. B．Threat. C．Shame. D．Glory. 2．According to the author, what contributes to her victory in the Softball Throw event? A．Her confidence in her sports skills. B．The efforts she put into exercising. C．Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D．The strong influence of her father. 3．What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A．She changed the focus into reading. B．She stuck to working out. C．She regularly exercised on weekends. D．She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To express her love for sports. B．To show her father’s guidance on sports. C．To stress the advantages of physical exercise. D．To share her childhood memories about sports. （23-24高一上·江苏南通·期中）Dr. Bhuvana, a special educator and therapist, once taught at the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. During her classes, she observed that some students did not absorb the content as well as others or lacked understanding of specific topics. At times, they nodded their head but they did not actually grasp the meaning. She realized she needed to make a change instead of just sticking to the traditional teaching methods. Parents were impressed by the improvements in their slow pupils and suggested Dr. Bhuvana start a special school for such children. Dr. Bhuvana came to the rescue of students with developmental disorders. In 1998, she opened Bridges Learning Vidyalaya to teach students with autism (自闭症) and other developmental disorders. There every child’s IQ is tested using Malin’s Intelligence Scale and classified into mild, moderate and severe groups. The school adopts unique teaching methods to impart (传授) knowledge and helps kids understand topics from a child’s perspective. The school has also trained teachers to teach the subjects in a friendly manner. Over the past 25 years, the school has educated over 6,000 slow students, many of whom are now doctors, managers and engineers working in big companies or have important careers. Uthamanathan, the father of Suryanarayan, a student at the school, says, “My child was unwilling to go to a traditional school. His grades were low, and he failed to score beyond single-digit marks. We worried about his future. Fortunately, I learned about Dr. Bhuvana’s school and Suryanarayan was admitted into Class 4. Dr. Bhuvana chalked out a practical customized curriculum for him, which helped him develop an interest in studies. Now he is pursuing his MBA in a well-known university. Dr. Bhuvana says, “Parents always feel they need someone like me for their children, and I feel glad that I can help them. On some occasions, the pressures at various levels make me feel upset and burdened. But when a child learns well and hugs me in return, it gives me satisfaction and confidence. I draw energy from children’s love and my passion for teaching. 1．What inspired Dr. Bhuvana to improve her teaching methods? A．The great potential of her poorly performing students.

For years, she’s been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. What she was doing was running the Buddy Bench program. The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the “buddy bench.” That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It’s really helpful to have other people be able to notice you,” Sammie says. The idea quickly caught on. The bench brought kids together. Since then, Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. “It means a lot to me,” she says, “that this is making a difference in people’s lives.” Sammie got the idea for the Buddy Bench program at summer camp in 2017. She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school, so when she got home, she presented the idea to her principal, her teachers, and her parents. Getting approval for the project was just the first step. “There have been a lot of small challenges, like money,” Sammie says. To reduce costs and be eco-friendly, Sammie decided to make the bench out of recycled material. So she called on her community to gather bottle caps. Word of the project got out, and soon Sammie was getting caps from people in all 50 states. She even got them from people in Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries.

I was 12 years old at the time, and full of dreams of adventures upon the high seas. The moment I stepped upon the noisy deck (甲板), my uncle Joseph told me about shipboard life and then he sent me below the deck to get myself situated. Here was a sticky (闷热的) space barely (勉强) tall enough for me to stand up straight in. It was the middle of July, and the heat was unbearable. There seemed to be no air at all. There certainly were no windows, and the smell that rose up from the bottom was so strong that it made me hard to breathe. From the shadows, a pair of eyes materialized (突然显示). They belonged to a dirty boy no older than me. “Hello mate, you must be the new guy just shipped aboard. I’m Nigel. Follow me. We’re just in time for dinner.” My new friend led me into the tiny dining room where the crew messed. The horrible smell of so many men together was overpowering. After dinner, Nigel showed me our berth. It was a tiny lightless room near the bow of the boat, only six feet long and only five feet high. There was a small area where I could pack my clothes, and at night we would string up our beds side by side with two other boys. That night when we were under way, the ship ran into a violent Atlantic storm. The waves attacked the Alba like it was a tiny boat. The ship made such noises;I was afraid it would simply break apart at any moment.

Cook my kids good dishes, and take them to photo shoots. But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck. Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, in marathons. This love story began in Winchester Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled (缠住) by the umbilical cord (脐带) during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs (四肢). “He’ll be a vegetable (植物人) the rest of his life,” doctors told Dick and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. “Put him in an institution.” But the Hoyts weren’t buying it. They noticed the way Rick’s eyes followed them around the room. When Rick was 11, they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University. Equipped with a computer, Rick was finally able to communicate. After a high school classmate was paralyzed (使瘫痪) in an accident, and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick said, “Dad, I want to do that.” How was Dick, a man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore!” That sentence changed Dick’s life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. They even decided to try marathons. “No way,” Dick was told by a race official. They weren’t quite a single runner, and they weren’t quite a wheelchair competitor. For a few years, Dick and Rick joined the massive field and ran anyway. In 1983, they ran another marathon so fast that they made the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon the following year. Now they’ve done 212 triathlons and 85 marathons. “My dad is the Father of the Century,” Rick typed. 1．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean? A．The Hoyts didn’t believe it was true. B．The Hoyts couldn’t afford any institution. C．The Hoyts couldn’t deal with the situation. D．The Hoyts had no money for their son’s treatment. 2．What’s discussed in the third paragraph? A．Why Rick became paralyzed. B．How Rick started running. C．Why running changed Rick’s life. D．How Rick communicated with others. 3．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．A boy with a rare disease B．The greatest dad in the world C．A tough road to marathons D．Parents’ influence on children’s life 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了父亲Dick和无法控制自己的手脚的儿子Rick一起跑步，从而改变了他们各自生活的故事。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段划线句上文““He’ll be a vegetable (植物人) the rest of his life,” doctors told Dick and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. (里克九个月大的时候，医生对迪克和他的妻子朱迪说：“他这辈子都会是个植物人。”)”以及下文“They noticed the way Rick’s eyes followed them around the room. (他们注意到瑞克的目光跟随他们在房间里转来转去。)”可知，Hoyts不相信那是真的。A. The Hoyts didn’t believe it was true霍伊特夫妇不相信这是真的；B. The Hoyts couldn’t afford any institution霍伊特夫妇负担不起任何机构；C. The Hoyts couldn’t deal with the situation霍伊特一家无法应付这种情况；D. The Hoyts had no money for their son’s treatment霍伊特夫妇没有钱给他们的儿子治病。故选A项。 2．主旨大意题。根据第三段“When Rick was 11, they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University. Equipped with a computer, Rick was finally able to communicate. After a high school classmate was paralyzed (使瘫痪) in an accident, and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick said, “Dad, I want to do that.” How was Dick, a man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore!” (瑞克11岁时，他们带他去了塔夫茨大学的工程系。有了电脑，瑞克终于能够与人交流了。一个高中同学在一次事故中瘫痪后，学校为他组织了一次慈善跑步活动，里克说：“爸爸，我也想这么做。”迪克，一个从来没有跑过超过一英里的人，怎么能强迫他的儿子跑五英里呢？尽管如此，他还是努力了。那一天改变了瑞克的一生。“爸爸，”他打字道，“当我们跑步的时候，我感觉自己不再是残疾人了！”)”可知，第三段主要关于瑞克是怎么开始跑步的。故选B项。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Now they’ve done 212 triathlons and 85 marathons. “My dad is the Father of the Century,” Rick typed. (现在他们已经参加了212项铁人三项和85项马拉松。“我爸爸是世纪之父，”瑞克打字道。)”可知，文章主要讲述了父亲Dick和无法控制自己的手脚的儿子Rick一起跑步，从而改变了他们各自生活的故事。故标题为“世界上最伟大的父亲”。故选B项。 （23-24高一上·浙江杭州·期中）I started to worry when the golf car taking me, Steve, and our suitcases stopped in the middle of the Maine forest. A yurt (蒙古包) is a tent tall enough to stand in and wide enough to fit a big family. But I didn’t see it anywhere. “You hike from here,” said the driver, pointing down a weedy (杂草丛生的) path. The woods were darkening, and Steve encouraged me to pick up the pace. My summer sandals (凉鞋) slipped on the wet leaves. Steve and I spent a good hour until we spotted the light of the yurt. Steve skillfully lit a fire. We ate some sandwiches, had a few beers, and settled in for a good night’s sleep. But I couldn’t relax. I shook Steve awake. “The door to the yurt doesn’t lock,” I said. “What if a bear wanders into the camp?” “Don’t worry. Moose (驼鹿) are a bigger problem here than bears,” he said. “Well, what if someone decides to rob us? Or what if one of the locals wants to teach us a lesson?” “OK,” Steve said with a heavy sigh. He forcefully placed a chair under the door handle. “There, additional protection.” He smiled. “And even if someone gets through the door, you’ll have time to grab that book and use it as a weapon.” I laughed. Sleep moved in. We could enjoy our weekend. When we “checked out” three mornings later. I was the first one up. That’s when I realized that the door opened ... out. The chair had been serving no purpose other than to keep me quiet. “So,” I said, as we walked heavily back to meet the golf car. “How else have you been ‘handling’ me this weekend?” He smiled. “Well. I decided not to tell Von about the snake that lived in the firewood.” 1．What can be learned from the first two paragraphs? A．I was quite looking forward to the trip.

A．A Meaningful Trip to Yurt B．The Importance of Getting Close to Nature C．More to Know about Yurt D．The Time I Survived a Yurt 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过描述作者在蒙古包住宿的经历，展现了作者对旅行的期待、对未知环境的担忧，以及最终解决问题的过程。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“I started to worry when the golf car taking me, Steve, and our suitcases stopped in the middle of the Maine forest.(当载着我、史蒂夫和我们的行李箱的高尔夫球车停在缅因州的森林中央时，我开始担心起来)”可推知，作者对这次旅行感到紧张和焦虑。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段““Well, what if someone decides to rob us? Or what if one of the locals wants to teach us a lesson?” “OK,” Steve said with a heavy sigh. He forcefully placed a chair under the door handle. “There, additional protection.” He smiled. “And even if someone gets through the door, you’ll have time to grab that book and use it as a weapon.” I laughed. Sleep moved in. We could enjoy our weekend.(“那么，如果有人决定抢劫我们呢？或者如果当地的某个人想要给我们一个教训呢？”“好的，”史蒂夫叹了口气说。他用力地把椅子放在门把手上。“看，额外的保护。”他笑了。“而且，即使有人进了门，你也有时间拿起那本书把它当作武器。”我笑了。睡意袭来。我们可以享受我们的周末了)”可知推，史蒂夫把椅子放在门把手下面的真正原因是让作者不再担心。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Steve skillfully lit a fire.

Moose (驼鹿) are a bigger problem here than bears,” he said.(“别担心。这里的驼鹿比熊更成问题，”他说)”可知，史蒂夫能熟练地生活，并且知道驼鹿比熊更成问题。由此推知，他可能有在蒙古包里睡觉的经验。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“I started to worry when the golf car taking me, Steve, and our suitcases stopped in the middle of the Maine forest. A yurt (蒙古包) is a tent tall enough to stand in and wide enough to fit a big family.

Sometimes she knitted hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project. “I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said. My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and said in a proud tune, “I’m the only person she talked to today.” It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty. 1．What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors? A．To know what they eat. B．To ask for some cookies and pudding. C．To relieve their loneliness.

Without her, their world would have been empty.(我意识到，母亲的电话是生命线，确保居家老人与世界保持联系。没有她，他们的世界将是空虚的。)”可知，妈妈给老人打电话的目的是缓解他们的孤独感。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段划线句子后的一句“Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath(有些人都不会停下来喘口气)”可知，妈妈的朋友以及作者的两个姐妹会一直讲话，故划线短语“talk your ear off”意为“一直讲话”。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.(我意识到，母亲的电话是生命线，确保居家老人与世界保持联系。没有她，他们的世界将是空虚的。)”可知，作者最终意识到了妈妈的努力是有价值的。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段的“It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement.

Do you have time?” Switching the light on again, I smiled, “I always have time for you, honey.” Honestly speaking, Laura’s troubled face left me no choice. We sat in the empty classroom as she described the effect her dad’s alcoholism (酗酒) was having. I listened, handing her tissues (纸巾). After half an hour, she said, “I know you can’t do anything about it, but thanks for listening. My mom keeps saying, ‘He’s sick! Alcoholism is a disease!’” I gave her a hug. Then it hit me. Why hadn’t I taken Laura out walking with me? The next day was just as lovely. “Today I’ll walk!” I promised. But at 3:00 pm, Brian was at the door. “Hi, can I talk to you?” “Sure,” I answered. “But it’s such perfect weather. Can we go for a walk?” We circled the small lake near our school and talked about helping emotionally (感情上) troubled kids. On Laura’s next visit, she happily accepted my invitation to walk. I had a surprise for her. Classmate Tom had given me brochures (小手册) from Alateen. “Someone in your class said his uncle has the same problem.” I told Laura. “If I may share your story, he’ll drive you to Alateen meetings. By attending Alateen meetings, young people gain an understanding of alcoholism and feel the advantages of realizing they are not alone with an alcoholic parent.” And so, it became a pattern. Whoever came to chat after school was invited to walk. In the walks, these kids find relief from the pressure and frustrations (挫折) they face. And I’ve lost ten pounds! 1．Who has an alcoholic parent?

We sat in the empty classroom as she described the effect her dad’s alcoholism (酗酒) was having.(老实说，劳拉那张苦恼的脸让我别无选择。我们坐在空荡荡的教室里，听她描述她父亲酗酒的后果。)”可知，劳拉的父亲酗酒。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Why hadn’t I taken Laura out walking with me?(我为什么不带劳拉出去散步呢?)”可知，乔遗憾是没有与劳拉去散步。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段的“I gave her a hug.( 我拥抱了她一下。)”和第四段的“On Laura’s next visit, she happily accepted my invitation to walk.

For the cat owner Zack King, his cat Billy’s life was enigmatic. Free-spirited felines(猫类) who like to spend time outdoors are often gone for hours at a time, leaving their owners wondering where they’ve been or what they’ve been up to. However, King soon discovered that his beloved cat was serving as a “postcat”. Billy comes and goes as he pleases through a cat door. One day in October, when Billy was inside, King noticed a folded piece of paper covered in a plastic wrap in his collar. King carefully unwrapped it and was surprised to find a note from his neighbors. “Your cat likes to come to visit us when he is outside,” it read. “He will sit at the door and run into our house. We have no idea where he comes from. He always wants people to give him lots of scratches(挠痒). What’s his name? Does he have an owner?” King wrote a note back, attached it to Billy’s collar, and hoped it would make it to the original sender. “We’re so glad he’s making friends with the neighbors,” it read. “His name is Billy.” It wasn’t long before Billy came back with another note, and now months later, the neighbors are still pen friends. “We both like watching movies online and cooking at home,” King said. “We have no idea what the neighbors look like. We could ask for details but there’s no need—it’s nice to have some privacy sometimes.” “I was frustrated as the nights got colder and darker. Billy is spending more time indoors and sweet exchanges have become less frequent,” he says. “To be honest, a closed door and a sensitive alarm can ensure the safety of our houses. But they can prevent neighbors from having healthy friendships. To break the ice, we just need a cat and a note.” 1．What does the underlined word “enigmatic” mean in paragraph 1? A．Mysterious. B．Boring. C．Tough. D．Ordinary. 2．Why did King’s neighbors write a note? A．To know the identity of the cat. B．To express his dislike of the cat. C．To express his thanks for the cat. D．To ask King to take the cat back. 3．What can we learn from the last but one paragraph? A．King has met with his neighbors before. B．King hopes to thank the neighbors in person. C．King shares common hobbies with his neighbors. D．King has communicated with his neighbors online. 4．What does King imply in the last paragraph? A．We should make friends with neighbors. B．We should ensure the safety of our houses. C．We should respect the privacy of neighbors. D．We should keep pets to stay safe and healthy. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Zack King的猫Billy充当了一名“邮递员”，通过传递纸条，让Zack King和陌生的邻居成了笔友。 1．词义猜测题。根据画线词后面一句“Free-spirited felines(猫类) who like to spend time outdoors are often gone for hours at a time, leaving their owners wondering where they’ve been or what they’ve been up to.(喜欢在户外度过时光的自由奔放的猫科动物通常会一次离开几个小时，让它们的主人想知道它们去了哪里或在做什么。)”可知，猫通常一次离开数小时，主人不知道它们的动向，由此可推测出，Zack King的猫Billy的生活很神秘，enigmatic意为“神秘的”，与mysterious意思相近。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中纸条的内容“We have no idea where he comes from. He always wants people to give him lots of scratches(挠痒). What’s his name?

Rides broke down. Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply... All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday. But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees. He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amusement park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amusement park proposal that he presented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as fortunate setback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected. The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called "Disneyland". The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park. Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28, 154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success. Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down. 1．What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amusement park? A．His ambition to expand beyond the movie industry. B．His animators’ suggestion on an entertainment plan. C．His wish to create a better place for family recreation. D．His daughters’ unpleasant experience in the Griffith Park. 2．By “Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate setback” in paragraph 3, the author means the rejection ________. A．brought good luck to Disney and his park B．contributed to the difficulty of opening the park C．was viewed as a financial obstacle to the design of the park D．presented Disney with a favorable opportunity to rethink his plan 3．What can be learned about Disneyland from the passage? A．Everything went on smoothly before it opened. B．It spent $5 million on advertising for its opening. C．People’s enthusiasm for it increased despite criticism. D．Only invited guests could get into it on its opening day. 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Disneyland: How It All Began B．Disneyland: An Overnight Success C．Disneyland: How It Developed D．Disneyland: A Park with a Long History 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了迪士尼乐园是如何开始的。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees.(迪士尼不喜欢他们经常参观的游乐园，认为它们肮脏、缺乏想象力，由粗鲁的员工经营)”和第三段第一句“He thought he could do better. (他认为他可以做得更好)”可知，他希望创造一个更好的家庭娱乐场所，这导致沃尔特·迪士尼计划建造自己的游乐园。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段划线句后“By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected.(到目前为止，他对主题公园的梦想已经超出了伯班克现有的空间。他搜索了整个南加州的位置。一个160英亩的在洛杉矶南部22英里的橘子园很快被选中)”可知，在被拒绝后，他对游乐园进行了更好的改造。由此可知，划线句是说这次拒绝为迪士尼提供了一个重新考虑计划的有利机会。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据倒第二段“After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn't listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success.(在疯狂的开放日之后，迪士尼和他的新乐园受到了媒体的批评。媒体预测这场战争将很快结束。但是公众并没有听从。大批游客蜂拥而至，几周之内，迪斯尼乐园就大获成功)”可知，尽管受到批评，但人们对它的热情却与日俱增。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段“But Disney's story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called‘Daddy's Day’.(但迪士尼的故事实际上开始于20年前沃尔特·迪士尼所谓的‘爸爸节’)”可知，文章主要是讲迪士尼乐园的开始。故选A。 （23-24高一上·甘肃天水·期中）Joy Chapman,70, retired from work in 2018 but decided she’d never become a “boring” granny.

Young Ryan Honary is among one of the brilliant minds. Shocked by the deaths in the 2018 Camp Fire, California’s frightening wildfire, Honary turned his attention to how to decrease future disasters. In 2019, Honary won a $10,000 prize in the Ignite Innovation Student Challenge for his early wildfire detection (检测) network, which provides app technology for firefighters. He was only in fifth grade at the time. Turning 14 years old and going into the eighth grade this year, Honary is busy working in SensoRy AI, the company he set up. With the help of his father and a team of experts, the company has received a lot of attention. Honary started creating websites when he was in third grade. He learned Python and JavaScript in a local after-school program. At the same time, he was interested in animals and the environment. He became worried as he saw how much the environment was under pressure. When wildfires started ruining the air quality, destroying homes and killing some people, Honary thought about how AI can be used to solve environmental problems such as wildfires. In order to get data to train the machine learning models on his fire detectors, he collected real-world data from Google Earth about the Camp Fire of 2018 in California. Once a fire is detected by a fire detector, the information can be sent to the app he created. Also, machine learning can be used to predict where the fires are going. Honary is hoping to attract more people from his generation to his company.

Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 1．What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Stress. B．Threat. C．Shame. D．Glory. 2．According to the author, what contributes to her victory in the Softball Throw event? A．Her confidence in her sports skills. B．The efforts she put into exercising. C．Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D．The strong influence of her father. 3．What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A．She changed the focus into reading. B．She stuck to working out. C．She regularly exercised on weekends. D．She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To express her love for sports. B．To show her father’s guidance on sports. C．To stress the advantages of physical exercise. D．To share her childhood memories about sports. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从小热爱体育，并且在父亲的指导和培训下第一次尝到了运动胜利的滋味。于是作者开始参与各种体育运动，并把这种对体育的热爱持续到了成年。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams.(就我这个年纪来说，我个子很小，更像是一个书虫，而不是一个体育爱好者，我曾遭受过被各种体操队最后一名选中的特殊humiliation)”可知，作者的身材矮小，更像是一个书虫，并且在各种体操队都是最后一个被选中，这是一种耻辱，故划线词意思是“耻辱”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch.(在垒球比赛中，我第一次尝到了体育胜利的滋味。这要归功于我的第一个教练，我的父亲。他每天早上在家举重。他给我们每个人都买了棒球手套和帽子，在温暖的月份里，我们花几个小时玩接球游戏)”可知，作者认为她在垒球比赛中获胜是因为她父亲的强烈影响。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation.(因此，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但这种早期的基础在成年后继续成为运动和健身的重点，甚至在度假时也被认为是重要的)”可知，作者成年后保持了对运动的热爱。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段中“The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school.(我第一次意识到我对体育比赛的热爱是在小学的Field Day期间)”和最后一段“So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation.(因此，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但早期的基础在成年后演变成了一种专注于运动和健身的方式，即使在度假时也被认为是必不可少的)”结合主要讲述了作者从小热爱体育，并且在父亲的指导和培训下第一次尝到了运动胜利的滋味。于是作者开始参与各种体育运动，并把这种对体育的热爱持续到了成年。可推知作者写这篇文章的目的是表达她对运动的热爱。故选A。 （23-24高一上·江苏南通·期中）Dr. Bhuvana, a special educator and therapist, once taught at the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. During her classes, she observed that some students did not absorb the content as well as others or lacked understanding of specific topics. At times, they nodded their head but they did not actually grasp the meaning. She realized she needed to make a change instead of just sticking to the traditional teaching methods. Parents were impressed by the improvements in their slow pupils and suggested Dr. Bhuvana start a special school for such children. Dr. Bhuvana came to the rescue of students with developmental disorders. In 1998, she opened Bridges Learning Vidyalaya to teach students with autism (自闭症) and other developmental disorders. There every child’s IQ is tested using Malin’s Intelligence Scale and classified into mild, moderate and severe groups. The school adopts unique teaching methods to impart (传授) knowledge and helps kids understand topics from a child’s perspective. The school has also trained teachers to teach the subjects in a friendly manner. Over the past 25 years, the school has educated over 6,000 slow students, many of whom are now doctors, managers and engineers working in big companies or have important careers. Uthamanathan, the father of Suryanarayan, a student at the school, says, “My child was unwilling to go to a traditional school. His grades were low, and he failed to score beyond single-digit marks. We worried about his future. Fortunately, I learned about Dr. Bhuvana’s school and Suryanarayan was admitted into Class 4. Dr. Bhuvana chalked out a practical customized curriculum for him, which helped him develop an interest in studies. Now he is pursuing his MBA in a well-known university. Dr. Bhuvana says, “Parents always feel they need someone like me for their children, and I feel glad that I can help them. On some occasions, the pressures at various levels make me feel upset and burdened. But when a child learns well and hugs me in return, it gives me satisfaction and confidence. I draw energy from children’s love and my passion for teaching. 1．What inspired Dr. Bhuvana to improve her teaching methods? A．The great potential of her poorly performing students. B．The constructive suggestions from some educators. C．The lack of parental guidance on students’ studies. D．The sharply different performances of her students. 2．What is a key characteristic of Bridges Learning Vidyalaya? A．Its aiming to train qualified teachers. B．Its objecting to testing a student’s IQ. C．Its teaching students according to their ability.

C．Faithful and cooperative. D．Innocent and simple-minded. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Bhuvana博士是一位特殊的教育家和治疗师，她在课上发现了一些学生很迟钝，他们在吸收老师在课堂上所讲的内容时非常困难。所以Bhuvana博士改变了教学方法，并创办了一所特殊学校来帮助这些有发育障碍的学生。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三、四句话“During her classes, she observed that some students did not absorb the content as well as others or lacked understanding of specific topics. At times, they nodded their head but they did not actually grasp the meaning. She realized she needed to make a change instead of just sticking to the traditional teaching methods.(在课堂上，她观察到一些学生没有像其他学生那样很好地吸收内容，或者对特定主题缺乏理解。有时，他们会点点头，但实际上并没有领会其中的含义。她意识到自己需要做出改变，而不仅仅是坚持传统的教学方法)”可知，一些学生在课上和别人不同的表现激发Bhuvana博士改变了她的教学方法。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段第三、四句话“There every child’s IQ is tested using Malin’s Intelligence Scale and classified into mild, moderate and severe groups. The school adopts unique teaching methods to impart (传授) knowledge and helps kids understand topics from a child’s perspective.(在那里，每个孩子的智商都使用马林智力量表进行测试，并分为轻度、中度和重度。学校采用独特的教学方法传授知识，帮助孩子从孩子的角度理解主题)”可知，Bridges Learning Vidyalaya的一个关键特征是他们对孩子进行了智力测试，根据测试的结果对孩子们的能力进行分类，再进行相应的教学。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Uthamanathan, the father of Suryanarayan, a student at the school, says, “My child was unwilling to go to a traditional school. His grades were low, and he failed to score beyond single-digit marks. We worried about his future. Fortunately, I learned about Dr. Bhuvana’s school and Suryanarayan was admitted into Class 4. Dr. Bhuvana chalked out a practical customized curriculum for him, which helped him develop an interest in studies. Now he is pursuing his MBA in a well-known university.(该校学生Suryanarayan的父亲Uthamanathan说：“我的孩子不愿意上传统学校。他的成绩很低，分数也没有超过个位数。我们担心他的未来。幸运的是，我了解了Bhuvana博士的学校，Suryanaraan被四班录取了。”。布瓦纳博士为他制定了一个实用的定制课程，这帮助他培养了对学习的兴趣。现在他正在一所知名大学攻读MBA)”可知，Bhuvana博士为Suryanarayan制定的课程帮助了他培养了对学习的兴趣，而且现在他正在知名大学读书。由此可推知，合适的教学方法对学生们有着重要的影响。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Bhuvana says, “Parents always feel they need someone like me for their children, and I feel glad that I can help them. On some occasions, the pressures at various levels make me feel upset and burdened. But when a child learns well and hugs me in return, it gives me satisfaction and confidence. I draw energy from children’s love and my passion for teaching.(布瓦纳博士说:“父母总是觉得他们需要像我这样的人来照顾他们的孩子，我很高兴我能帮助他们。在某些情况下，不同程度的压力让我感到不安和负担。但当一个孩子学得很好，并拥抱我作为回报，这给了我满足感和信心。我从孩子们的爱和我对教学的热情中汲取能量。)”并通读全文可知，Bhuvana在课堂上发现了很多发育有障碍的学生在学习上有困难，为了帮助他们，她改变了自己教学方法。后来她创办了一所特殊学校，并为学生们量身定制课程。由此可推知，她是一个“有创造力并且关心他人”的人。故选B。 （23-24高一上·河北保定·期中）Sammie Vance, 14, knows there’s nothing worse than feeling left out. For years, she’s been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. What she was doing was running the Buddy Bench program. The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the “buddy bench.” That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It’s really helpful to have other people be able to notice you,” Sammie says. The idea quickly caught on. The bench brought kids together. Since then, Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. “It means a lot to me,” she says, “that this is making a difference in people’s lives.” Sammie got the idea for the Buddy Bench program at summer camp in 2017. She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school, so when she got home, she presented the idea to her principal, her teachers, and her parents. Getting approval for the project was just the first step. “There have been a lot of small challenges, like money,” Sammie says. To reduce costs and be eco-friendly, Sammie decided to make the bench out of recycled material. So she called on her community to gather bottle caps. Word of the project got out, and soon Sammie was getting caps from people in all 50 states. She even got them from people in Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries. In the end, she collected more than 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company called GreenTree Plastics was able to upcycle these into three benches. In addition to all the kids her project has helped, Sammie is grateful for how it has changed her. “It just helped me grow in so many different aspects of my life,” she says. Before long, Sammie was helping other schools acquire benches. She has donated more than 200 benches to schools and parks all around the country, and in Mexico and Australia. Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide. Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “It can make someone’s day and lead to a chain reaction,” she says. “You never know. Just be kind, in general.” 1．What do we know about the Buddy Bench program? A．It helps lonely kids to make friends. B．Only lonely kids can sit on the bench.

The 17-year-old is a freeskier (自由式滑雪运动员) and grade-A student with an American father and Chinese mother. She grew up and still lives in the United States, but in June 2019 she made the “quite difficult” decision to compete for China. She wrote on Instagram that she was “proud of my heritage and equally proud of my American upbringings (培养)”.

I was 12 years old at the time, and full of dreams of adventures upon the high seas. The moment I stepped upon the noisy deck (甲板), my uncle Joseph told me about shipboard life and then he sent me below the deck to get myself situated. Here was a sticky (闷热的) space barely (勉强) tall enough for me to stand up straight in. It was the middle of July, and the heat was unbearable. There seemed to be no air at all. There certainly were no windows, and the smell that rose up from the bottom was so strong that it made me hard to breathe. From the shadows, a pair of eyes materialized (突然显示). They belonged to a dirty boy no older than me. “Hello mate, you must be the new guy just shipped aboard. I’m Nigel. Follow me. We’re just in time for dinner.” My new friend led me into the tiny dining room where the crew messed. The horrible smell of so many men together was overpowering. After dinner, Nigel showed me our berth. It was a tiny lightless room near the bow of the boat, only six feet long and only five feet high. There was a small area where I could pack my clothes, and at night we would string up our beds side by side with two other boys. That night when we were under way, the ship ran into a violent Atlantic storm. The waves attacked the Alba like it was a tiny boat. The ship made such noises;I was afraid it would simply break apart at any moment. As I lay there miserably rocking back and forth in my damp bed, I asked myself, “What have I gotten myself into?” 1．The underlined word “berth” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______ on a ship. A．the bathroom B．the sleeping section C．the kitchen D．the lower deck 2．Which paragraph describes the first time the writer saw Nigel? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 3．In the last sentence of this passage, the writer suggests that he ______. A．regretted taking the voyage aboard the Alba B．hated making friends with Nigel C．may never recover(康复) from the seasickness D．should have eaten up the dishes on the voyage 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者第一次航海的经历。 1．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“It was a tiny lightless room near the bow of the boat, only six feet long and only five feet high. There was a small area where I could pack my clothes, and at night we would string up our beds side by side with two other boys.(那是靠近船头的一个没有灯光的小房间，只有六英尺长，只有五英尺高。有一个小区域，我可以收拾衣服，晚上我们会和另外两个男孩并排把床串起来)”可知，在一个没有灯光的只有六英尺长，五英尺高的小房间，有个小区域，作者可以收拾衣服，晚上可以把床串起来，由此可知，此处作者描述的是他的休息室的情况，由此可猜测，该单词的意思与“休息区”的意义相近。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“From the shadows, a pair of eyes materialized. They belonged to a dirty boy no older than me.(从阴影中，一双眼睛突然显示。它们属于一个比我大不了多少的肮脏的男孩)”以及第三段中的“Hello mate, you must be the new guy just shipped aboard. I’m Nigel.”(你好，伙计，你一定是刚上船的新人。我是Nigel)”可知，在阴影处的那双眼睛是Nigel的，由此可知，作者第一次见到Nigel是在第二段描写的。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据尾段中的“As I lay there miserably rocking back and forth in my damp bed, I asked myself, “What have I gotten myself into?”(当我躺在那里在潮湿的床上来回摇晃时，我问自己：“我把自己弄成什么样子了？”)”可知，作者在问自己“看把自己弄成什么样子了？”，由此可知，作者对这次航海感到后悔。故选A项。 （23-24高一上·江苏淮安·期中）Macie Semrau, a 6-year-old girl from Eliot, Maine, seldom missed school. So, when she refused to even get dressed one day, her mother decided to allow her to stay home with her father Kyle and her 4-year-old brother Caleb. The family would later be extremely thankful that the little girl refused to leave after she found her father passed out in the basement. After returning from his night work, Kyle was feeling light-headed. He told his wife Kate that he would be laying low for the day with their children. He finally made his way to the basement. Macie paid attention to her father’s condition when she heard him shouting, and she and Caleb went to have a look. Macie found her 37-year-old father was about to lose awareness (意识). She asked him for his phone’s passcode (密码) so she could unlock it. After successfully opening his phone, she found the local police department’s number and called the police. Smith was floored by Macie’s decision-making and her ability to stay calm. The little girl listed the family’s Goodwin Road address while explaining that her father was in trouble. In the meantime, Caleb comforted his father. Thanks to Macie and Caleb, he was sent to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, where he required four liters of oxygen (氧气) and spent three days recovering. “I’m very lucky, obviously because of my daughter and son and the police’s response” said Kate. “It was quick,” he added, mentioning that the police arrived just in two minutes thanks to Macie’s call. “It was unbelievable. I was in tears myself,” he said.   The Eliot Police Department also praised the young girl for her quick thinking and strong awareness. Eliot Police Chief Elliot Moya praised the Semraus for teaching their children about awareness of their surroundings (环境) as well as communication skills.

Macie found her 37-year-old father was about to lose awareness (意识). She asked him for his phone’s passcode (密码) so she could unlock it. After successfully opening his phone, she found the local police department’s number and called the police.(Macie听到父亲的喊声后，注意到了他的情况，她和Caleb去看了看。Macie发现她37岁的父亲快要失去知觉了。她向他要了手机的密码，这样她就可以解锁了。在成功打开他的手机后，她找到了当地警察局的电话号码并报了警)”可知，当Macie自己的父亲快要失去知觉的时候，她首先想到的是解锁父亲的手机让后向警察求助。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段““I’m very lucky, obviously because of my daughter and son and the police’s response” said Kate. “It was quick,” he added, mentioning that the police arrived just in two minutes thanks to Macie’s call. “It was unbelievable. I was in tears myself,” he said.(凯特说：“我很幸运，显然是因为我的女儿和儿子以及警方的反应。”“行动很快，”他补充说。他提到，多亏了Macie的电话，警察在两分钟内就赶到了。“真是难以置信。我自己也哭了，”他说)”可知，Kyle认为自己很幸运是因为自己的孩子很冷静地向警察求助，而警察也立即作出了反应。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Eliot Police Chief Elliot Moya praised the Semraus for teaching their children about awareness of their surroundings (环境) as well as communication skills. Can your child open your phone and call the police? If not, now’s the time for them to learn.(艾略特警察局局长Elliot Moya称赞Semraus夫妇教会了孩子们对周围环境的认识以及沟通技巧。你的孩子能打开你的手机报警吗？如果没有，现在是他们学习的时候了)”可推知，文章作者认为父母应该早点教孩子一些实用的生活技能。故选D。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
