When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact (影响) on the environment and really used those classroom lessons every day in a way that made him different from his schoolmates at school, P. S.81, in the Bronx. “He told me we drove too much and made too much pollution,” his dad, Jonathan Cane, told Runner’s World. So Simon persuaded his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures.
“For much of kindergarten and first grade I rode my bike to Simon’s school with him on the back,” Jonathan said. “We had a lot of fun being outdoors. We’d stop to give our dog treats and generally enjoyed it.” As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together - both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1.5 miles to school.
But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1.5 miles to P. S.81. And Jonathan· promised his son he’d join him for as long as he wanted.
“We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a go. To be honest, I thought he’d hold back when it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,” Jonathan said. He recalled one day when the weather was particularly bad. “It’s really raining out there today,” he told Simon. “And Simon said, ‘Well then we’re going to get wet!’ He took pride in braving it, and it became a really fun family routine.”
Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that run to school”.
4. What makes Simon different from his classmates?
A. Washing his clothes by himself. B. Taking many classes after school.
C. Raising strange questions in class. D. Taking green measures to protect the environment.
5. How did Simon usually go to school in second grade?
A. By cycling. B. By car. C. By running. D. By school bus.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Simon was braver than expected. B. Simon had trouble with his eyesight.
C. Simon was really inflexible. D. Simon didn’t get support from his father.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Best Way to Go to School.
B. Boy Keeps Running to Inspire Father.
C. Father and Son Run for the Environment.
D. Three Inspiring Running Athletes to Protect the Environment.
C
I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the problem, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of control over ourselves. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water, add mix, boil three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires self-discipline.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as stupid as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be upset. You are not alone. It is probably something that everybody faces in their life process.
8. What do we tend to do while doing a Watched-Pot Wait?
A. To grow nervous. B. To lose concentration.
C. To stay focused. D. To keep ourselves busy.
9. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?
A. The Forced Wait makes people active. B. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.
C. The Forced Wait requires some self-control. D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.
10. What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?
A. Take it easy. B. Stay alone. C. Do something else. D. Depend on yourself.
11. How does the author develop his topic?
A. By exploring various causes of “waits”. B. By showing upsetting results of “waits”.
C. By describing practical processes of “waits”. D. By analyzing (分析) different types of “waits”.
D
Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed.
Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like.
Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it!
12. What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph?
A. It's a survival skill. B. It's taught by mother cats.
C. It's hard to interpret. D. It's getting louder with age.
13. How does a pet cat assess different situations?
A. By listening for sounds. B. By touching familiar objects.
C By checking on smells. D. By communicating with other cats.
14. Which best explains the phrase "take. . . up notch" in paragraph 3?
A. Perform appropriately. B. Move faster. C. Act strangely. D. Do better.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B. Understanding Your Cat's Behavior
C. Have Fun with Your Cat D. How to Keep Your Cat Healthy

When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact (影响) on the environment and really used those classroom lessons every day in a way that made him different from his schoolmates at school, P. S.81, in the Bronx. “He told me we drove too much and made too much pollution,” his dad, Jonathan Cane, told Runner’s World. So Simon persuaded his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures.
“For much of kindergarten and first grade I rode my bike to Simon’s school with him on the back,” Jonathan said. “We had a lot of fun being outdoors. We’d stop to give our dog treats and generally enjoyed it.” As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together - both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1.5 miles to school.
But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1.5 miles to P. S.81. And Jonathan· promised his son he’d join him for as long as he wanted.
“We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a go. To be honest, I thought he’d hold back when it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,” Jonathan said. He recalled one day when the weather was particularly bad. “It’s really raining out there today,” he told Simon. “And Simon said, ‘Well then we’re going to get wet!’ He took pride in braving it, and it became a really fun family routine.”
Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that run to school”.
4. What makes Simon different from his classmates?
A. Washing his clothes by himself. B. Taking many classes after school.
C. Raising strange questions in class. D. Taking green measures to protect the environment.
5. How did Simon usually go to school in second grade?
A. By cycling. B. By car. C. By running. D. By school bus.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Simon was braver than expected. B. Simon had trouble with his eyesight.
C. Simon was really inflexible. D. Simon didn’t get support from his father.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Best Way to Go to School.
B. Boy Keeps Running to Inspire Father.
C. Father and Son Run for the Environment.
D. Three Inspiring Running Athletes to Protect the Environment.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述一位八岁的男孩 Simon Cane为环保做出的实际行动——和爸爸一起跑步上学。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really used those classroom lessons every day in a way that made him different from his schoolmates at school, P. S.81, in the Bronx. (当西蒙·凯恩上二年级时,他开始学习人类对环境产生影响的所有方式,并且真的利用每天课堂所学课程,在某种程度上这使他与布朗克斯的公立第81小学的同学们区别开来。)”和“So Simon persuaded his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures. (因此,西蒙说服他的父母开始把衣服晾起来,走楼梯而不是电梯,以及其他“绿色”措施。)”可知Simon和他的同学的不同之处在于采取环保措施保护环境,故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together - both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1.5 miles to school. (然而,随着西蒙长大,让他骑在他父亲的背上已经不现实了,而且让他一起骑车也没有意义了——既因为安全问题,也因为没有地方可以放西蒙的自行车。所以,大多数时候他们开车1.5英里去学校。)”和第三段“But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1.5 miles to P. S.81. (但在2019年,当西蒙上三年级时,这个8岁的孩子想出了一个帮助地球的新方法:跑1.5英里到公立第81小学。)”可推知西蒙二年级时通常父母开车送去上学,故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a go. To be honest, I thought he’d hold back when it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,” Jonathan said. (“我们在8月份的某一天进行了试跑,并决定尝试一下。说实话,我以为天气很冷或下雨时他会退缩,但他从来没有,”乔纳森说。)”可推断西蒙比预期的要勇敢。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其第一段“When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really used those classroom lessons every day in a way that made him different from his schoolmates at school, P. S.81, in the Bronx. (当西蒙·凯恩上二年级时,他开始学习人类对环境产生影响的所有方式,并且真的利用每天课堂所学课程,在某种程度上这使他与布朗克斯的公立第81小学的同学们区别开来。)”和最后一段“Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that run to school”. (从一开始,西蒙就和他的爸爸和他们的黑狗洛拉一起跑步,甚至他的妈妈妮可·辛·奎也加入了进来。他们很快就被称为“跑去上学的家庭”。)”可知文章讲述一位八岁的男孩 Simon Cane为环保做出的实际行动——和爸爸一起跑步上学。 所以C选项“父亲和儿子为环境奔跑”符合文章主旨,适合做标题,故选C。
C
I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the problem, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of control over ourselves. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water, add mix, boil three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires self-discipline.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as stupid as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be upset. You are not alone. It is probably something that everybody faces in their life process.
8. What do we tend to do while doing a Watched-Pot Wait?
A. To grow nervous. B. To lose concentration.
C. To stay focused. D. To keep ourselves busy.
9. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?
A. The Forced Wait makes people active. B. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.
C. The Forced Wait requires some self-control. D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.
10. What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?
A. Take it easy. B. Stay alone. C. Do something else. D. Depend on yourself.
11. How does the author develop his topic?
A. By exploring various causes of “waits”. B. By showing upsetting results of “waits”.
C. By describing practical processes of “waits”. D. By analyzing (分析) different types of “waits”.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了等待分为三种,我们不应该在等待时失去信心
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.(在这个过程中,你完全无事可做,只能双眼紧盯着水槽,直到它装满为止。在这段时间里,大脑会从身体中抽离,四处漫游,直到水溢出柜台边缘,流到你的袜子上。)”可知,我们在等待一壶水煮开的时候我们总是心不在焉的。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段中的“There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.(在这个过程中,你完全无事可做,只能双眼紧盯着水槽,直到它装满为止。在这段时间里,大脑会从身体中抽离,四处漫游,直到水溢出柜台边缘,流到你的袜子上。)”、第三段“A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of control over ourselves. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water, add mix, boil three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires self-discipline.(与“守锅等待”类似的是“强制等待”。这种等待需要我们对自己的控制。正确准备即食面汤需要“强制等待”。说明书上的步骤非常具体:“倒入三杯水,加入调料包,煮三分钟,关火,静置五分钟。”我怀疑有人会严格按照这些步骤操作。毕竟,强制等待需要自律。)”可知,强制等待需要一定的自我控制,而守锅等待则不需要。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“You are not alone. It is probably something that everybody faces in their life process.(你并不孤单。这可能是每个人在生活中都会面临的事情。)”可知,作者建议我们在等待时沉住气,因为这是每个人都会面临的情况。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“To understand the problem, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.(为了理解这个问题,让我们来看看三种类型的“等待”。)”可知,作者是通过分析不同种类的等待来展开话题的。故选D。
D
Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed.
Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like.
Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it!
12. What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph?
A. It's a survival skill. B. It's taught by mother cats.
C. It's hard to interpret. D. It's getting louder with age.
13. How does a pet cat assess different situations?
A. By listening for sounds. B. By touching familiar objects.
C. By checking on smells. D. By communicating with other cats.
14. Which best explains the phrase "take. . . up notch" in paragraph 3?
A. Perform appropriately. B. Move faster. C. Act strangely. D. Do better.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B. Understanding Your Cat's Behavior
C. Have Fun with Your Cat D. How to Keep Your Cat Healthy
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫通过叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物来表达需求、评估环境和展示爱意。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. (动物可以用很多方式来表达他们的需求。例如,几乎所有的动物都有独特的声音,它们依靠这些声音来寻求帮助,吓跑危险的动物或寻找庇护。)”和“Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother’s attention and be fed. (猫宝宝一出生就开始喵喵叫,喵喵叫是为了引起妈妈的注意和被喂食。)”可知,猫叫声是一种生存技能。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. (猫有许多敏锐的感官,但它们的嗅觉令人印象深刻。它们用鼻子来评估周围的环境,寻找任何危险的迹象。)”可知,宠物猫通过检查气味来评估不同情况。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词前半句“Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, (狗以其令人印象深刻的抓取习惯而闻名)”和后句“Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. (许多猫会在外面随意找到一些东西,并把它们带给主人。)”可知,狗以取回东西而闻名,但猫可以从外边找到东西带回来,因此在这一行为上更上一层楼。短语take ... up a notch是用来形容猫在带回东西这一行为上做得更好或更出色。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways.( 动物可以用很多方式来表达他们的需求。)”及全文可知,文章都在介绍和解释猫的各种行为方式,包括叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物的习惯,以及这些行为背后的原因和意义。所以“Understanding Your Cat’s Behavior(了解你的猫的行为)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
