专题04 阅读理解之记叙文10篇 （23-24高一上·上海·期末）In the heart of the war-torn city, where buildings stood like wounded soldiers, Emma waited inline for her weekly ration. The line moved slowly, a somber procession of gaunt (瘦削憔悴的) faces and threadbare coats. When her turn came, the ration officer handed her the allotted food with a detached efficiency. “Two loaves, half a pound of sugar, and a tin of powdered milk,” he recited. The portions seemed to shrink each week, mirroring the dwindling hope in people’s hearts. Clutching her meager supplies, Emma hurried through the bombed-out streets, dodging craters and debris. The city, once vibrant and bustling, now lay in a hushed surrender to scarcity and fear. At home, her family’s small garden offered a sharp contrast to the desolation around. Here, amidst the rows of struggling vegetables, her father toiled. “Dad, let me help,” Emma offered, taking the shovel from his weary hands. Together, they dug into the earth, creating a hidden cache for extra food. It was a secret they guarded fiercely, knowing that in times of shortage, even neighbors could turn against each other out of desperation. As they worked, Emma’s mind wandered to the days before the war, when food was abundant and their garden was a source of joy, not just survival. She remembered her mother’s cooking, the aromas that filled their kitchen, the laughter that accompanied their meals. Now, each bite of their bland rations was a reminder of what had been lost. In the evenings, the family gathered around a small table, sharing their rationed food. Conversation flowed, weaving tales of better times, igniting sparks of hope. Emma’s younger brother, Tom, would often ask, “When will we have chocolate again?” It was a question loaded with longing, not just for the sweetness of chocolate but for the return of normalcy. Despite the hardship, they found reasons to smile. Emma’s father would recount stories from his youth, tales of adventure that seemed like fairy tales in their grim surroundings. Her mother would hum old tunes, filling their home with a semblance of warmth and normalcy. As winter deepened, the rations grew scarcer, and the hidden cache in the garden became their lifeline. Each day, Emma and her father would check the hole, ensuring their precious supplies were safe. The hole, a mere cavity in the ground, symbolized their resilience, a refusal to succumb to despair. 1．How did the amount of weekly rations appear to change each week? A．Significantly increased B．Dramatically decreased C．Remained the same D．Decreased each week 2．What does the term “hidden cache” in the third paragraph refer to in the article? A．A treasure map B．A buried capsule C．A secret food storage spot D．A mysterious box 3．How does the family’s gathering around the table for meals illustrate the impact of war on their lives? A．Abundant food showshow the war has unexpectedly brought prosperity to their family. B．The family’s conversations about a war-free future reflect their enduring hope. C．Meals at the table are silent and rushed, highlighting their fear and anxiety. D．The table becomes a place of conflict where family members argue over limited food. 4．Tom’s longing for chocolate is symbolic in the story. What does this longing represent? A．It’s a simple craving for a treat, unrelated to the broader themes of the story. B．The desire for chocolate symbolizes a yearning for the comforts of life before the war. C．His wish for chocolate indicates his dislike for the food rationing and nothing more. D．It is a secret code used by the family to communicate about their hidden food. （23-24高一上·上海·期末）“It’s a windy day in Laguna San Ignacio, and the waves seem to come from all directions,” said Sara Clemence in Bloomberg Businessweek. My children and I are riding on an 18-foot boat — small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it. As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water strongly to signal the huge whale, which turns out to be a mother with her weeks-old baby. The baby soon swims beneath our boat, emerges to blow mist in my face, then “lies onto its side like a 2-ton puppy.” Leaning down, I touched its skin gently. “It feels electric. Also, a bit like petting a hard-boiled egg.” San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. The whales come each year to the coast of Baja California to give birth and to mate. If you’re lucky, you can “shake hands with a leathery fin (鳍)” or even “plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek.” I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited in these protected waters. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms. Like that baby whale: “We see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.” So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact: “More than once, after nosing around our boat, a young gray whale turns on its side so one dark, baseball-size eye is looking up at us.” Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these magnificent creatures turn violent when threatened — “or, say, when their babies are harmed.” That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. “I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand.” Though she’s “wiser and apparently more alert” than her child, “she still decides to trust us.” 1．According to the passage, people can NOT interact with a whale by ________. A．splashing water to it B．gently touching its skin C．swimming alongside it D．looking at it in the eye 2．The underlined phrase in paragraph 2 means that the whale ________. A．is mad with too many visitors B．is willing to be petted by people on the boat C．can interact with people based on its likes D．can decide its preferred swimming route 3．Why does the author consider it “a blessing” when a large mama whale approaches the boat? A．Because she is smarter than her child and better at interacting with people. B．Because she believes in people and will not turn violent if her baby is harmed. C．Because a whale as large as this one is rare to see. D．Because she trusts people despite her concerns about her child’s safety. 4．What is the best title for this passage? A．Preserving the Devil Fish in Laguna San Ignacio B．A Beautiful Encounter with Gray Whales C．A Risky but Exciting Whale-Watching Journey D．Appropriate Ways to Interact with Gray Whales （23-24高一上·上海闵行·期末）Clementine seemed to be missing apiece from her life’s puzzle for most of her life. Dropped off as a 3-year-old homeless dog near New Orleans, the dog stayed in the shelter for four months before being moved to Texas. While living at an adoption center in Texas, the dog was adopted out twice to different families. Sadly, neither of those adoptions were successful. It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family. Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighter scope with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! With the permission of the chief and other firefighters, he and a few colleagues visited the shelter. As soon as they met Clementine, they were smitten! “They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. “She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.” Captain Moree officially adopted Clementine, but she definitely belonged to every person in the firehouse. She loved to hug the firefighters in between calls, and she was always nearby whenever anyone was preparing food. “She rides on the truck when we go out on calls” said Captain Moree. “She not only makes the station feel more like home during our 24-hour shifts but also keeps us excited to come to the station.” Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards! 1．Why did Clementine fail to stay in the second family? A．She liked fire. B．She was too active. C．She ate too much.

D．She remained homeless in her whole life. （23-24高一上·上海奉贤·期末）I've just done my first jump since the accident that nearly killed me just a year ago. As I was lying in hospital, thinking that I would never skydive again, I wasn't feeling glad to be alive. Instead, I was wondering how I could possibly live without it. It all started one evening after another nine-to-five day. I was sitting at home thinking, “There has to be more to life than this,” when an advertisement came on the television, “Try skydiving!” The next day, I called the nearest skydiving center and booked my first jump. I will never forget my first jump. It was a beautiful, cloudless day and the sun was just going down. As I pushed myself away from the plane at 11,000 feet, my mind went blank. Words cannot describe the excitement I experienced while I was free-falling. That was the most amazing four minutes of my life. From the first jump, I was hooked. I started spending every free moment I had skydiving. At work, I sat in front of my computer and imagined ways of making more money so that I could jump more often. The accident happened on my 1,040th jump. Another skydiver hit my parachute(降落伞) at 80 feet. I fell and hit the ground at about 30 mph, face down. I broke my legs, my right arm and my nose. I lost 6 liters of blood, 19 teeth and 25 pounds of fat. I was lucky to be alive. People who have never experienced skydiving will find it hard to understand that my only reason to get better was that I could do it again.

Our parents had told us many times that we were not allowed to bring home guns or knives, even if they were just toys. Having any form of weaponry (兵器) in our home was strictly forbidden. James brought me to his room. He opened his closet door and took out a shoebox that was buried beneath a heap of clothes. The BB gun was inside. I was immediately attracted by the shiny barrel (枪管). “Can I shoot it, James?” I asked, hopefully. “No way,” James said, taking it from me and putting it back. One day, when no one was home, I went into James’ closet and took it out. For some incomprehensible reason — I have no idea what I was thinking — I went to the front window of the second floor in our row house. I cracked the window open. I pointed the gun outside and shot. I quickly shut the window and looked outside secretly. In a matter of seconds, old Mr. Schlosberg came out of his grocery store. He looked back at his store window. He looked up the street. He looked down the street. Then he looked straight across to our house. Thankfully, James made it home before Mother or Father. As he stepped through the door, I could hear old Mr. Schlosberg call his name. “James, James,” he called. “Come here, son.” After several minutes, James ran back across the street and into the living room. I had retreated into the kitchen. “Alma!” he screamed. “Get out here! You cracked Mr. Schlosberg’s window with my BB gun!” “Oh, please, James,” I begged. “Don’t let him tell Mother. She will hit my bottom real good!” James sighed. He wiped my tears and went back across the street to Mr. Schlosberg’s. I don’t know what James said to that man, but there was never a mention of the incident again. Years later, I found out James had used the money he got from his newspaper route to pay for Mr. Schlosberg’s cracked window. He only got one cent for every paper he delivered. He managed to pay back the debt just before he went off to fight in World War Ⅱ. Since that day, I have never touched a gun: a BB gun, a water gun, a real gun, or any other type. 1．Why was the gun hidden in the closet? A．The gun was too expensive. B．The family had only one gun.

How could anybody be unaware of entertaining an angel, I thought? It never occurred to me that angelic qualities could hide under very ordinary voices and in everyday bodies. My angel, as it turned out, hid inside the little figure of my school-teacher, Miss McKenzie. To me she was always a little old lady, with her grey hair framing a round rosy face and caught up in an old-fashioned bun (发髻) on top of her head. Although I enjoyed Miss McKenzie’s approval, I never really felt very close to her. It never dawned on me to ask her advice as to what I should do when I left school. Surely there was only one thing to do:get a job and earn money as quickly as possible. But Miss McKenzie had other ideas. We in our house knew nothing of scholarships for fatherless children. The idea of a child from a working-class household going to college was the very stuff of story-books. Unknown to us, she forced the headmaster to put my name forward for a special scholarship open to children who showed some promise, and who would benefit from further education. He agreed, although he was a bit worried about the expense of keeping me at college for a whole year. No earnings from me, and fares and clothes to be covered, for, of course, only the fees would be paid if I won. Miss McKenzie brushed all argument aside. To this day I can remember my complete astonishment when, on being asked if she felt I had any particular qualities, this elderly teacher banged the desk with her fist, and declared in an American idiom I never suspected she knew, ‘I’d stake my bottom dollar on this girl!’ I trembled at the passion in her voice, and at her faith in me. “What if I fail her?” I gasped to myself. “What if she has to pay all the money back if I let her down?” I knew we hadn’t a spare dollar to repay anybody, and I was sick with a sense of responsibility in case I messed up. The time at college went by quickly. At the end of my year at college I was able to lay before her the college gold medal as the year’s top student and a whole pile of certificates. And suddenly as I gazed at her, and saw her eyes shining with pride behind the gold-rimmed glasses, I realized how widely she had thrown open the door of opportunity for me. And I knew for the first time what the phrase “entertaining angels unaware” meant. For there, standing before me in class, was my very own angel, Miss McKenzie. 1．The author’s description of Miss McKenzie in paragraphs 2 and 5 aims to ______. A．explain why she always kept a safe distance from Miss McKenzie B．contrast the inner qualities of McKenzie with her humble appearance C．emphasize that she and Miss McKenzie both came from an ordinary family D．illustrate the influence of the strong faith Miss McKenzie had in her 2．It can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 that ______. A．it is unlikely for children from an ordinary family to further their study in college B．going to university can help those from working-class climb up the social ladder C．those who can only read stories do not meet the minimum requirement of college D．the author had the idea of going to college because she was inspired by some stories 3．In Paragraph 6, the author felt ______ when she heard Miss McKenzie’s passionate voice. A．shocked and encouraged B．embarrassed and reluctant C．uncertain and stressed D．worried and purposeful 4．The author’s main purpose of writing this passage is to ______. A．recall her schooldays and her past achievements B．express her gratitude to one of her school teachers C．stress the importance of equal access to education D．encourage readers to find the angels around them （23-24高一上·上海·期末）As an elementary school student in New York City, Robert Lee would stare in disbelief at his classmates throwing about half-eaten sandwiches after lunch. His Korean immigrant parents had taught him and his older brother not to waste food. While studying finance and accounting at New York University, Robert remembered this lesson and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food-rescue club on campus that delivered, five days a week, leftovers (剩饭菜) from the dining hall to nearby homeless shelters. When Robert and fellow club member Louisa entered a college entrepreneurship (创业) contest, they proposed a slightly different idea for a food-rescue non-profit group: They would gladly pick up one bag of leftover bagels or a single pot of soup, would operate seven days a week, and would be staffed entirely by volunteers. Their idea won the competition. With the＄1, 000 prize, they founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in July 2013. In just the first few weeks, Robert’s team delivered a donation of enough spaghetti and meatballs to feed 20 people in line at a New York City homeless shelter that had run out of food. Robert, who had taken job as an analyst at J.P. Morgan, devoted his spare time to creating a network of New York City restaurants that agreed to donate food, and he enlisted volunteers to make food deliveries to homeless shelters. To date, RLC has distributed more than 250, 000 pounds of food in 12 cities around the country. Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six-figure salary to focus on RLC． “I compared one hour of impact at J.P. Morgan to one hour at RLC, and the difference was just huge,” he says. He’s now the group’s only full-time employee. “One shelter recently told us that our donations allow them to provide entire dinners for more than 300 people, three nights a week,” Robert says. “Things like that make me glad I quit my job.” 1．How did Robert feel about his classmates’ behaviour? A．Angry. B．Concerned. C．Pitiful. D．Astonished. 2．What did Robert do at New York University in addition to study? A．He helped his classmates who threw away food carelessly. B．He co-founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC). C．He established a food-rescue club to make better use of leftovers. D．He fully focused his attention on study. 3．What did Robert give up to completely devote himself to RLC? A．His college education. B．His health. C．His well-paid job. D．His spare time. 4．What might Robert want to focus in his life? A．Public welfare. B．Public recognition. C．Personal wealth. D．Finance and accounting. （23-24高一上·上海·期末）A call came into Jimmy Gilles’s bar this past March. A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the dive beach bar in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit cards, or $150— but her wedding ring was inside it. Gilles, 42, the boss of the bar, didn’t like the idea that there was a thief at his place. So he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours looking for the footage from 16 different cameras, watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man in a hoodie approached the bench, put something in his pocket in a hurry, and walked off. Gilles posted the picture on the bar’s Facebook and asked if anybody knew who the guy was. Within hours, 17-year-old Rivers Prather came and said he had taken the wallet and told Gilles he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten for two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money, and threw the wallet off the public docks into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich. Gilles, unsure whether he should believe Prather, told the teen to meet him at the docks. There Prather revealed that he wasn’t getting along with his family and lived in the woods for weeks. Gilles looked at Prather—his small stature, his ruddy cheeks—and saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a thief. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could be facing severe charges. Gilles wanted to help him somehow. Gilles recruited two local divers to search the waters where Prather had thrown the wallet. A crowd gathered to watch the two divers search in the strong current. More than an hour passed, with no sign of the ring. Gilles grew worried. Each passing minute increased the chances that the police would arrest the young man. And then a diver came out from the water with the wallet in his hand, and inside was the ring. Cheers erupted from the spectators. When Gilles called the wallet’s owner, she burst into tears. She promptly dropped the felony charges against Prather for stealing the ring. But it wasn’t over for Gilles. He’d been troubled about Prather sleeping in the cold woods. He told the teen he could stay with his family until the boy got on his feet again. He also gave the kid a job at his bar. “Most people would give the footage to police, but the boss chose to help me,” Prather told CBS News. “I say thank you to him every day.” 1．Why didn’t Prather take away the ring in the wallet? A．Because he thought the ring was not genuine and worthless. B．Because he was too anxious about the money to find the ring. C．Because he knew nobody would be interested in buying the ring. D．Because he knew he would be charged severely if he took the ring. 2．What can be inferred about Prather according to the passage? A．He has been a thief ever since he left his family. B．He was still a kid although he looked tall and strong. C．His family didn’t get along with him and give him nothing to eat. D．He left his family and was very hungry before he committed the theft. 3．Why did Gilles feel worried when the divers could not find the ring? A．Because he had to pay for it as it was stolen at his bar. B．Because the police were very likely to arrest Prather. C．Because it would disappoint the crowd gathering around. D．Because it was a wedding ring and very important to the woman. 4．Which words can be used to describe Mr. Gilles? A．Careful and creative. B．Reasonable but cruel. C．Caring and merciful. D．Brave but heartless. （23-24高一上·上海·期末）A Swedish Professor at Natural History came out to the farm to ask me for help. He had come to Africa to find out at what stage of the embryo (胚胎) state the foot of the monkeys begins to differ from the human foot. For this purpose, he meant to go and shoot Colobus monkeys on Mount Elgon. “You will never find out from the Colobus monkeys,” I said to him, “they live in the tops of the trees and are shy and difficult to shoot. It would be the greatest luck should you get the embryo you want.” The Professor was hopeful. He was going to stay out till he had got his foot, he said, even if it was be for years. He had applied to the Game Department for permission to shoot the monkeys he wanted. The permission he was, in view of the high scientific object of his research, certain to get, but so far he had had no reply. “How many monkeys have you asked to be allowed to shoot?” I asked him He told me that he had, to begin with, asked for permission to shoot fifteen hundred monkeys. Now I knew the people at the Game Department, and I assisted him to send in a second letter asking for a reply by return of post, since the Professor was keen to get off on his research. The answer from the Game Department did, for once, come by return of post. The Game Department, they wrote, were pleased to inform Professor Landgreen that, in view of the scientific object of his research, they had seen their way to make an exception from their rules, and to raise the number of monkeys on his license from four to six. I had to read the letter over twice to the Professor. When the contents at last were clear to him, he became so deadly shocked and hurt, that he did not say a single word. To my expressions of sympathy he made no reply, but walked out of the house, got into his car and drove away sadly. 1．By “It would be the greatest luck should you get the embryo you want”, the author implies that ________. A．it was no easy job to get Colobus monkeys B．there were very few Colobus monkeys in Africa C．he wished the Professor good luck in doing the research D．the Professor was sure to obtain the embryo despite the difficulties 2．What can be learned about the Game Department from the passage?

And I feared getting another teacher who had a long list of rules and a stare that could kill a cat. But there was always one part of beginning a new school year that I enjoyed. I always liked going to the store to arm myself with new school supplies—even if I didn’t need them. Sure, my pencils, erasers and notebooks from the previous school year may have had some life left in them. But this didn’t matter. Every year, Dad would pile us into the car, take us to Wal-Mart and let us buy the newest and coolest pencils, rainbow-coloured erasers and spiral notebooks. Besides school supplies, many parents also take their kids on annual shopping spree for new clothes and book bags just in time for school. During the whole process, children are in high spirits, buying a lot of stuff and are back home exhausted. Every year, most of my classmates and I show up to school on the first day with something smelling like a new car. We’d put our new stationery on top of the desks, just to make sure others see them. Leftover supplies from past years were always stuffed into the living room desk. Used clothes that had lost their appeal were sent to second-hand shops, where they would be sold for 50 cents a piece. However, all of the new stuff could only make us excited about going to school for one week, after which the usual boredom and fear come back. 1．What is NOT TRUE about the author at the beginning of a new school year in the passage? A．He often has to face a new teacher. B．He doesn’t enjoy the load of work from school. C．He doesn’t appreciate strict teachers. D．He obtains new school supplies from the school. 2．Why do the students look forward to getting new pencils every year? A．Because the old ones are used up. B．Because new pencils help them to study better. C．Because they want to show their new stuff off. D．Because it’s required by the school. 3．The underlined word “spree” in the passage probably means _________. A．competition B．considerable embarrassment C．wild celebration D．emotional pain 4．How are the old supplies dealt with? A．They are put aside and forgotten. B．They are given to poorer children. C．They are sold online . D．They are treasured by the students. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04 阅读理解之记叙文10篇 （23-24高一上·上海·期末）In the heart of the war-torn city, where buildings stood like wounded soldiers, Emma waited inline for her weekly ration. The line moved slowly, a somber procession of gaunt (瘦削憔悴的) faces and threadbare coats. When her turn came, the ration officer handed her the allotted food with a detached efficiency. “Two loaves, half a pound of sugar, and a tin of powdered milk,” he recited. The portions seemed to shrink each week, mirroring the dwindling hope in people’s hearts. Clutching her meager supplies, Emma hurried through the bombed-out streets, dodging craters and debris. The city, once vibrant and bustling, now lay in a hushed surrender to scarcity and fear. At home, her family’s small garden offered a sharp contrast to the desolation around. Here, amidst the rows of struggling vegetables, her father toiled. “Dad, let me help,” Emma offered, taking the shovel from his weary hands. Together, they dug into the earth, creating a hidden cache for extra food. It was a secret they guarded fiercely, knowing that in times of shortage, even neighbors could turn against each other out of desperation. As they worked, Emma’s mind wandered to the days before the war, when food was abundant and their garden was a source of joy, not just survival. She remembered her mother’s cooking, the aromas that filled their kitchen, the laughter that accompanied their meals. Now, each bite of their bland rations was a reminder of what had been lost. In the evenings, the family gathered around a small table, sharing their rationed food. Conversation flowed, weaving tales of better times, igniting sparks of hope. Emma’s younger brother, Tom, would often ask, “When will we have chocolate again?” It was a question loaded with longing, not just for the sweetness of chocolate but for the return of normalcy. Despite the hardship, they found reasons to smile. Emma’s father would recount stories from his youth, tales of adventure that seemed like fairy tales in their grim surroundings. Her mother would hum old tunes, filling their home with a semblance of warmth and normalcy. As winter deepened, the rations grew scarcer, and the hidden cache in the garden became their lifeline. Each day, Emma and her father would check the hole, ensuring their precious supplies were safe. The hole, a mere cavity in the ground, symbolized their resilience, a refusal to succumb to despair. 1．How did the amount of weekly rations appear to change each week? A．Significantly increased B．Dramatically decreased C．Remained the same D．Decreased each week 2．What does the term “hidden cache” in the third paragraph refer to in the article? A．A treasure map B．A buried capsule C．A secret food storage spot D．A mysterious box 3．How does the family’s gathering around the table for meals illustrate the impact of war on their lives? A．Abundant food showshow the war has unexpectedly brought prosperity to their family. B．The family’s conversations about a war-free future reflect their enduring hope. C．Meals at the table are silent and rushed, highlighting their fear and anxiety. D．The table becomes a place of conflict where family members argue over limited food. 4．Tom’s longing for chocolate is symbolic in the story. What does this longing represent? A．It’s a simple craving for a treat, unrelated to the broader themes of the story. B．The desire for chocolate symbolizes a yearning for the comforts of life before the war. C．His wish for chocolate indicates his dislike for the food rationing and nothing more. D．It is a secret code used by the family to communicate about their hidden food. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了饱受战争蹂躏的艾玛一家的生存状态以及对未来的憧憬。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“The portions seemed to shrink each week......”（食物的份量似乎每周都在减少……）可知，配给每周都在减少。故选D项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Together, they dug into the earth”（他们一起挖地）和最后一段“Each day, Emma and her father would check the hole, ensuring their precious supplies were safe.”（每天，艾玛和她的父亲都会检查这个洞，确保他们珍贵的物资是安全的）可知，他们一起挖地，为额外的食物创造了一个隐藏的贮藏处。所以划线词的意思为“一个秘密的储藏室的地点”。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“In the evenings, the family gathered around a small table, sharing their rationed food. Conversation flowed, weaving tales of better times, igniting sparks of hope. ”（晚上，一家人围坐在一张小桌子旁，分享配的食物。谈话滔滔不绝，编织着美好时光的故事，点燃了希望的火花。）可知，这家人关于没有战争的未来的谈话反映了他们持久的希望。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段“Emma’s younger brother, Tom, would often ask, “When will we have chocolate again?” It was a question loaded with longing, not just for the sweetness of chocolate but for the return of normalcy.”（艾玛的弟弟汤姆经常问:“我们什么时候能再吃巧克力?”这是一个充满渴望的问题，不仅是为了巧克力的甜蜜，也是为了回归正常）可知，对巧克力的渴望象征着对战前舒适生活的向往。故选B项。 （23-24高一上·上海·期末）“It’s a windy day in Laguna San Ignacio, and the waves seem to come from all directions,” said Sara Clemence in Bloomberg Businessweek. My children and I are riding on an 18-foot boat — small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it. As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water strongly to signal the huge whale, which turns out to be a mother with her weeks-old baby. The baby soon swims beneath our boat, emerges to blow mist in my face, then “lies onto its side like a 2-ton puppy.” Leaning down, I touched its skin gently. “It feels electric. Also, a bit like petting a hard-boiled egg.” San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. The whales come each year to the coast of Baja California to give birth and to mate. If you’re lucky, you can “shake hands with a leathery fin (鳍)” or even “plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek.” I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited in these protected waters. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms. Like that baby whale: “We see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.” So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact: “More than once, after nosing around our boat, a young gray whale turns on its side so one dark, baseball-size eye is looking up at us.” Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these magnificent creatures turn violent when threatened — “or, say, when their babies are harmed.” That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. “I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand.” Though she’s “wiser and apparently more alert” than her child, “she still decides to trust us.” 1．According to the passage, people can NOT interact with a whale by ________. A．splashing water to it B．gently touching its skin C．swimming alongside it D．looking at it in the eye 2．The underlined phrase in paragraph 2 means that the whale ________. A．is mad with too many visitors B．is willing to be petted by people on the boat C．can interact with people based on its likes D．can decide its preferred swimming route 3．Why does the author consider it “a blessing” when a large mama whale approaches the boat? A．Because she is smarter than her child and better at interacting with people. B．Because she believes in people and will not turn violent if her baby is harmed. C．Because a whale as large as this one is rare to see. D．Because she trusts people despite her concerns about her child’s safety. 4．What is the best title for this passage? A．Preserving the Devil Fish in Laguna San Ignacio B．A Beautiful Encounter with Gray Whales C．A Risky but Exciting Whale-Watching Journey D．Appropriate Ways to Interact with Gray Whales 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Sara Clemence和孩子们在圣伊格纳西奥湖的一段和鲸鱼互动的海上之旅，展现了人与自然的和谐共处。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water strongly to signal the huge whale, which turns out to be a mother with her weeks-old baby.(按照指示，我们用力泼水，向这头巨大的鲸鱼发出信号，原来它是一位带着几周大婴儿的母亲)”和“Leaning down, I touched its skin gently.(我俯下身，轻轻地摸了摸它的皮肤)”和第三段中的“So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact(因此，我们是两个物种，通过触摸和眼神接触交流)”可知，人们可以通过向鲸鱼泼水、轻抚鲸鱼的皮肤、跟鲸鱼进行眼神接触来互动。文中没有提到可以和鲸鱼一起游泳，C项错误。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“If you’re lucky, you can “shake hands with a leathery fin (鳍)” or even “plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek.”(如果你幸运的话，你可以“与坚韧的鳍握手”，甚至可以“在冰冷、咸涩的脸颊上吻上一吻”)”及下文“Like that baby whale: “We see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.”(就像那只小鲸鱼：“我们见过它几次，它似乎喜欢被抚摸和被泼水。”)”可知，这些靠近船只的鲸鱼都是按照自己的方式和人们互动的。由此可知，does so on its own terms指的是“鲸鱼可以根据自己的喜好与人互动”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“That makes it feel even more  of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale  approaches the boat. “I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into  my hand.” Though she’s “wiser and apparently more alert” than her child,  “she still decides to trust us.”(当我们在那里的第三天，一头大型鲸鱼妈妈靠近船时，这让我们感觉更像是一种祝福。“当我感觉到她的鼻子压在我的手上时，我正在溅水。”虽然她比她的孩子“更聪明，更警觉”，但“她仍然决定相信我们。”)”可推知，当这只大型鲸鱼妈妈靠近他们的船时，作者感到这是一种“祝福”，因为尽管她会担心自己孩子们的安全，但她依然选择相信人类。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“My children and I are riding on an 18-foot boat — small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it.(我和孩子们坐在一艘18英尺长的船上，船足够小，如果一头灰鲸在旁边游动，我们就可以把手伸下水里。然后我们看到了我们来这里的目的：一场心形的阵雨和一团黑块在它下面冲来。)”并结合下文内容可知，本文主要描述了作者和孩子们的一段和鲸鱼互动的海上之旅。由此可知，B项“一场与灰鲸的美丽邂逅”最适合作本文标题。故选B。 （23-24高一上·上海闵行·期末）Clementine seemed to be missing apiece from her life’s puzzle for most of her life. Dropped off as a 3-year-old homeless dog near New Orleans, the dog stayed in the shelter for four months before being moved to Texas. While living at an adoption center in Texas, the dog was adopted out twice to different families. Sadly, neither of those adoptions were successful. It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family. Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighter scope with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! With the permission of the chief and other firefighters, he and a few colleagues visited the shelter. As soon as they met Clementine, they were smitten! “They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. “She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.” Captain Moree officially adopted Clementine, but she definitely belonged to every person in the firehouse. She loved to hug the firefighters in between calls, and she was always nearby whenever anyone was preparing food. “She rides on the truck when we go out on calls” said Captain Moree. “She not only makes the station feel more like home during our 24-hour shifts but also keeps us excited to come to the station.” Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards! 1．Why did Clementine fail to stay in the second family? A．She liked fire. B．She was too active. C．She ate too much. D．She hated other pets. 2．What does the underlined word “smitten” probably mean? A．moved B．puzzled C．attracted D．surprised 3．What did Captain Moree expect a fire dog to do? A．Help put out fires. B．Guard the firehouse. C．Stay excited day and night D．Reduce stress of firefighters. 4．What can be inferred about Clementine from the last two paragraphs? A．She risked her life as a fire dog. B．She has got many important awards. C．She did an excellent job as a fire dog. D．She remained homeless in her whole life. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Clementine从一只流浪狗成为消防英雄狗的奇妙旅程。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family.（事实证明，Clementine和小宠物相处不来，而且对于第二个家庭来说，她有太多的精力。）”可知，Clementine没能留在第二个家庭的原因是她太活跃了。故选B项。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线单词下面的一段“‘They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. “She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.’(‘他们把我们介绍给Clementine，”Moree队长回忆道。“她开始喜欢我们，我们也立刻喜欢上了她。那天晚些时候，我和我的司机Bryan Wallen决定去接她。’）”可知，Moree队长他们被Clementine吸引住了，所以才决定接受她。所以，划线单词smitten与attracted意义一致。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighter scope with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! (与此同时，Robert Moree队长想给消防站增加一只消防犬。他刚刚读了一篇关于狗如何帮助消防员应对工作压力的研究，他渴望让这项研究在现实生活中进行试验！)”可知，Moree队长想让消防犬减轻消防员的压力。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards!（克莱门汀从一只无家可归的狗变成了一只英雄狗，经历了如此奇妙的旅程。她在2022年ASPCA人道奖上被评为年度最佳狗!）”可以推论出，作为消防犬，Clementine一定表现出色，她才会被评为年度最佳狗。故选C项。 （23-24高一上·上海奉贤·期末）I've just done my first jump since the accident that nearly killed me just a year ago. As I was lying in hospital, thinking that I would never skydive again, I wasn't feeling glad to be alive. Instead, I was wondering how I could possibly live without it. It all started one evening after another nine-to-five day. I was sitting at home thinking, “There has to be more to life than this,” when an advertisement came on the television, “Try skydiving!” The next day, I called the nearest skydiving center and booked my first jump. I will never forget my first jump. It was a beautiful, cloudless day and the sun was just going down. As I pushed myself away from the plane at 11,000 feet, my mind went blank. Words cannot describe the excitement I experienced while I was free-falling. That was the most amazing four minutes of my life. From the first jump, I was hooked. I started spending every free moment I had skydiving. At work, I sat in front of my computer and imagined ways of making more money so that I could jump more often. The accident happened on my 1,040th jump. Another skydiver hit my parachute(降落伞) at 80 feet. I fell and hit the ground at about 30 mph, face down. I broke my legs, my right arm and my nose. I lost 6 liters of blood, 19 teeth and 25 pounds of fat. I was lucky to be alive. People who have never experienced skydiving will find it hard to understand that my only reason to get better was that I could do it again. All I can say is that for me, skydiving is life and life is skydiving. 1．The writer began skydiving because . A．he wanted to find something more meaningful than just work B．he was persuaded by the local skydiving club to have a try C．he made a promise he would go on with it D．he didn't realize what serious injury it might end in 2．What can we learn about the writer's first skydiving from the passage? A．The writer planned it for a long time. B．The writer was too nervous to enjoy it. C．It proved to be fairly successful.

A．The writer spent almost every nine-to-five day skydiving. B．The writer worked hard to make more money for skydiving. C．The writer imagined himself skydiving while at the hospital. D．The writer expected to recover only to continue skydiving. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者想要做一些比工作更有意义的事，便去尝试跳伞并爱上了跳伞，在经历一次致命的事故后，作者想要恢复健康的唯一理由是之后能继续跳伞。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It all started one evening after another nine-to-five day. I was sitting at home thinking, “There has to be more to life than this,” when an advertisement came on the television, “Try skydiving!”(这一切开始于一个晚上，又是一个朝九晚五的日子。我坐在家里想，“生活中一定有比这更多的东西”，这时电视上出现了一则广告，“试试跳伞！”)”可知，作者开始跳伞是因为他想找到比工作更有意义的东西。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Words cannot describe the excitement I experienced while I was free-falling. That was the most amazing four minutes of my life.(言语无法形容我在自由落体时所经历的兴奋。那是我一生中最美妙的四分钟)”可知，作者的第一次跳伞非常成功。故选C项。 3．句意猜测题。根据文章第五段“I started spending every free moment I had skydiving. At work, I sat in front of my computer and imagined ways of making more money so that I could jump more often.(我开始利用我的每一个空闲时间来跳伞。在工作中，我坐在电脑前，想象着如何赚更多的钱，这样我就可以更频繁地跳跃)”可知，划线句子的意思是“我被跳伞吸引了”。故选A项。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“People who have never experienced skydiving will find it hard to understand that my only reason to get better was that I could do it again.(从来没有经历过跳伞的人会发现很难理解，我想身体变好的唯一原因是我可以再次做这件事)”可知，作者希望身体恢复的唯一理由是继续跳伞标明作者对跳伞的强烈意愿。故选D项。 （23-24高一上·上海闵行·期末）When I was about 12 years old, my older brother, James, smuggled (偷运) a BB gun into the house. Our parents had told us many times that we were not allowed to bring home guns or knives, even if they were just toys. Having any form of weaponry (兵器) in our home was strictly forbidden. James brought me to his room. He opened his closet door and took out a shoebox that was buried beneath a heap of clothes. The BB gun was inside. I was immediately attracted by the shiny barrel (枪管). “Can I shoot it, James?” I asked, hopefully. “No way,” James said, taking it from me and putting it back. One day, when no one was home, I went into James’ closet and took it out. For some incomprehensible reason — I have no idea what I was thinking — I went to the front window of the second floor in our row house. I cracked the window open. I pointed the gun outside and shot. I quickly shut the window and looked outside secretly. In a matter of seconds, old Mr. Schlosberg came out of his grocery store. He looked back at his store window. He looked up the street. He looked down the street. Then he looked straight across to our house. Thankfully, James made it home before Mother or Father. As he stepped through the door, I could hear old Mr. Schlosberg call his name. “James, James,” he called. “Come here, son.” After several minutes, James ran back across the street and into the living room. I had retreated into the kitchen. “Alma!” he screamed. “Get out here! You cracked Mr. Schlosberg’s window with my BB gun!” “Oh, please, James,” I begged. “Don’t let him tell Mother. She will hit my bottom real good!” James sighed. He wiped my tears and went back across the street to Mr. Schlosberg’s. I don’t know what James said to that man, but there was never a mention of the incident again. Years later, I found out James had used the money he got from his newspaper route to pay for Mr. Schlosberg’s cracked window. He only got one cent for every paper he delivered. He managed to pay back the debt just before he went off to fight in World War Ⅱ. Since that day, I have never touched a gun: a BB gun, a water gun, a real gun, or any other type. 1．Why was the gun hidden in the closet? A．The gun was too expensive. B．The family had only one gun. C．The law didn’t allow anyone to have a gun. D．The parents didn’t allow a gun to appear at home. 2．The word “retreated” in the middle of the passage is closest in meaning to “_____”. A．rushed happily B．moved excitedly C．wandered unhurriedly D．escaped quietly 3．What did Alma expect from James after he shot Mr. Schlosberg’s window? A．To deal with the problem. B．To talk with his parents. C．To throw away the gun. D．To tell the truth. 4．Which of the following best describes James as a brother? A．Responsible and strict. B．Brave and determined. C．Responsible and caring. D．Naughty and determined. 5．The best title of the passage is ______. A．A Warmhearted Brother B．A BB Gun C．A Cracked window D．An Incident 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者12岁时，作者和哥哥之间的故事。当时作者们的父母不允许作者们带刀枪回家，哥哥偷偷在橱子里藏了一把BB枪，有一天作者用它打碎了杂货店的玻璃，后来哥哥用他送报纸的钱帮作者赔偿。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Our parents had told us many times that we were not allowed to bring home guns or knives, even if they were just toys.(我们的父母告诉过我们很多次，我们不允许带枪或刀回家，即使它们只是玩具)”可知，把枪藏在橱子里的原因是父母不允许家里有枪出现，故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Get out here! You cracked Mr. Schlosberg’s window with my BB gun!(给我出来！你用我的气枪打碎了施洛斯伯格先生家的窗户！)”可知，作者用气枪打碎了别人家的窗户，所以作者看到James来了想要悄悄逃走。故划线词意思是“悄悄逃走”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段““Oh, please, James,” I begged. “Don’t let him tell Mother. She will hit my bottom real good!” James sighed.(“哦，求你了，詹姆斯，”我恳求道。“别让他告诉妈妈。她会狠狠地打我屁股的！”詹姆斯叹了口气)”可知，Alma期盼着哥哥回来帮自己解决问题。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“He wiped my tears and went back across the street to Mr. Schlosberg’s.(他擦干我的眼泪，回到街对面的施洛斯伯格先生家)”可以看出哥哥关心、体贴他人；根据倒数第二段“He managed to pay back the debt just before he went off to fight in World War Ⅱ.(他在参加第二次世界大战前还清了债务)”可知哥哥设法赔偿我打坏的窗户，可以看出哥哥负责任的品质。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Since that day, I have never touched a gun: a BB gun, a water gun, a real gun, or any other type.(从那天起，我再也没有碰过枪：BB枪、水枪、真枪，或者任何其他类型的枪)”结合文章开头有介绍“我们的父母曾多次告诉我们，不允许我们带着枪或刀回家，但是哥哥在家藏了一把BB枪。”文章中间段落叙述了作者用BB枪干了坏事，哥哥帮自己补偿。文章围绕BB枪展开描述，故B选项“一把BB枪”作标题最为合适，故选B。 （23-24高一上·上海·期末）An excerpt from Shoes Were for Sunday by Molly Weir One of the phrases which greatly puzzled me was “entertaining angels unaware”. How could anybody be unaware of entertaining an angel, I thought? It never occurred to me that angelic qualities could hide under very ordinary voices and in everyday bodies. My angel, as it turned out, hid inside the little figure of my school-teacher, Miss McKenzie. To me she was always a little old lady, with her grey hair framing a round rosy face and caught up in an old-fashioned bun (发髻) on top of her head. Although I enjoyed Miss McKenzie’s approval, I never really felt very close to her. It never dawned on me to ask her advice as to what I should do when I left school. Surely there was only one thing to do:get a job and earn money as quickly as possible. But Miss McKenzie had other ideas. We in our house knew nothing of scholarships for fatherless children. The idea of a child from a working-class household going to college was the very stuff of story-books. Unknown to us, she forced the headmaster to put my name forward for a special scholarship open to children who showed some promise, and who would benefit from further education. He agreed, although he was a bit worried about the expense of keeping me at college for a whole year. No earnings from me, and fares and clothes to be covered, for, of course, only the fees would be paid if I won. Miss McKenzie brushed all argument aside. To this day I can remember my complete astonishment when, on being asked if she felt I had any particular qualities, this elderly teacher banged the desk with her fist, and declared in an American idiom I never suspected she knew, ‘I’d stake my bottom dollar on this girl!’ I trembled at the passion in her voice, and at her faith in me. “What if I fail her?” I gasped to myself. “What if she has to pay all the money back if I let her down?” I knew we hadn’t a spare dollar to repay anybody, and I was sick with a sense of responsibility in case I messed up. The time at college went by quickly. At the end of my year at college I was able to lay before her the college gold medal as the year’s top student and a whole pile of certificates. And suddenly as I gazed at her, and saw her eyes shining with pride behind the gold-rimmed glasses, I realized how widely she had thrown open the door of opportunity for me. And I knew for the first time what the phrase “entertaining angels unaware” meant. For there, standing before me in class, was my very own angel, Miss McKenzie. 1．The author’s description of Miss McKenzie in paragraphs 2 and 5 aims to ______. A．explain why she always kept a safe distance from Miss McKenzie B．contrast the inner qualities of McKenzie with her humble appearance C．emphasize that she and Miss McKenzie both came from an ordinary family D．illustrate the influence of the strong faith Miss McKenzie had in her 2．It can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 that ______. A．it is unlikely for children from an ordinary family to further their study in college B．going to university can help those from working-class climb up the social ladder C．those who can only read stories do not meet the minimum requirement of college D．the author had the idea of going to college because she was inspired by some stories 3．In Paragraph 6, the author felt ______ when she heard Miss McKenzie’s passionate voice. A．shocked and encouraged B．embarrassed and reluctant C．uncertain and stressed D．worried and purposeful 4．The author’s main purpose of writing this passage is to ______. A．recall her schooldays and her past achievements B．express her gratitude to one of her school teachers C．stress the importance of equal access to education D．encourage readers to find the angels around them 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的一位老师Miss McKenzie是如何在她的人生中扮演了“天使”的角色，帮助她获得了进一步的教育和成功的故事。文章通过回忆过去的事情，向读者阐述了一个对作者有重大影响的人物，并表达了作者的感激之情。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中“My angel, as it turned out, hid inside the little figure of my school-teacher，Miss McKenzie. (事实证明，我的天使藏在我的学校老师麦肯齐小姐的小身影里)”以及第五段中“To this day I can remember my complete astonishment when, on being asked if she felt I had any particular qualities, this elderly teacher banged the desk with her fist, and declared in an American idiom I never suspected she knew, ‘I’d stake my bottom dollar on this girl!’(直到今天，我还记得，当我问这位上了年纪的老师是否觉得我有什么特殊的品质时，我当时非常惊讶，她用拳头敲了敲桌子，并用一句我从未怀疑过她知道的美国谚语说:“我愿意把所有的钱都押在这个女孩身上！”)”可推知，作者在第2和第5段中对麦肯齐小姐的描述旨在说明麦肯齐小姐对她的坚定信念的影响。故选D。 2．句意猜测题。根据第三段中“Surely there was only one thing to do: get a job and earn money as quickly as possible. But Miss Mc Kenzie had other ideas. We in our house knew nothing of scholarships for fatherless children. (当然，只有一件事要做：尽快找到工作并挣钱。但麦肯齐女士有其他想法。我们家里的人对给没有父亲的孩子提供奖学金一无所知)”可知，划线句子The idea of a child from a working-class household going to college was the very stuff of story-books.的意思是：工人阶级家庭的孩子上大学，这种想法只存在于故事书中。由此推知，作者之所以有上大学的想法，是因为她受到了一些故事的启发。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第六段中“I trembled at the passion in her voice, and at her faith in me. (她声音中的激情和她对我的信任而颤抖)”可知，作者听到麦肯齐小姐充满激情的声音时感到既震惊又受到鼓舞。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And suddenly as I gazed at her, and saw her eyes shining with pride behind the gold-rimmed glasses, I realized how widely she had thrown open the door of opportunity for me. (突然，当我凝视着她，看到她戴着金边眼镜的眼睛里闪烁着自豪的光芒时，我意识到她为我敞开了机会的大门)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是向她的一位学校老师表示感谢。故选B。 （23-24高一上·上海·期末）As an elementary school student in New York City, Robert Lee would stare in disbelief at his classmates throwing about half-eaten sandwiches after lunch. His Korean immigrant parents had taught him and his older brother not to waste food. While studying finance and accounting at New York University, Robert remembered this lesson and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food-rescue club on campus that delivered, five days a week, leftovers (剩饭菜) from the dining hall to nearby homeless shelters. When Robert and fellow club member Louisa entered a college entrepreneurship (创业) contest, they proposed a slightly different idea for a food-rescue non-profit group: They would gladly pick up one bag of leftover bagels or a single pot of soup, would operate seven days a week, and would be staffed entirely by volunteers. Their idea won the competition. With the＄1, 000 prize, they founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in July 2013. In just the first few weeks, Robert’s team delivered a donation of enough spaghetti and meatballs to feed 20 people in line at a New York City homeless shelter that had run out of food. Robert, who had taken job as an analyst at J.P. Morgan, devoted his spare time to creating a network of New York City restaurants that agreed to donate food, and he enlisted volunteers to make food deliveries to homeless shelters. To date, RLC has distributed more than 250, 000 pounds of food in 12 cities around the country. Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six-figure salary to focus on RLC． “I compared one hour of impact at J.P. Morgan to one hour at RLC, and the difference was just huge,” he says. He’s now the group’s only full-time employee. “One shelter recently told us that our donations allow them to provide entire dinners for more than 300 people, three nights a week,” Robert says. “Things like that make me glad I quit my job.” 1．How did Robert feel about his classmates’ behaviour? A．Angry. B．Concerned. C．Pitiful. D．Astonished. 2．What did Robert do at New York University in addition to study? A．He helped his classmates who threw away food carelessly. B．He co-founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC). C．He established a food-rescue club to make better use of leftovers.

A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the dive beach bar in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit cards, or $150— but her wedding ring was inside it. Gilles, 42, the boss of the bar, didn’t like the idea that there was a thief at his place. So he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours looking for the footage from 16 different cameras, watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man in a hoodie approached the bench, put something in his pocket in a hurry, and walked off. Gilles posted the picture on the bar’s Facebook and asked if anybody knew who the guy was. Within hours, 17-year-old Rivers Prather came and said he had taken the wallet and told Gilles he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten for two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money, and threw the wallet off the public docks into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich. Gilles, unsure whether he should believe Prather, told the teen to meet him at the docks. There Prather revealed that he wasn’t getting along with his family and lived in the woods for weeks. Gilles looked at Prather—his small stature, his ruddy cheeks—and saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a thief. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could be facing severe charges. Gilles wanted to help him somehow. Gilles recruited two local divers to search the waters where Prather had thrown the wallet. A crowd gathered to watch the two divers search in the strong current. More than an hour passed, with no sign of the ring. Gilles grew worried. Each passing minute increased the chances that the police would arrest the young man. And then a diver came out from the water with the wallet in his hand, and inside was the ring. Cheers erupted from the spectators. When Gilles called the wallet’s owner, she burst into tears. She promptly dropped the felony charges against Prather for stealing the ring. But it wasn’t over for Gilles. He’d been troubled about Prather sleeping in the cold woods. He told the teen he could stay with his family until the boy got on his feet again. He also gave the kid a job at his bar. “Most people would give the footage to police, but the boss chose to help me,” Prather told CBS News. “I say thank you to him every day.” 1．Why didn’t Prather take away the ring in the wallet? A．Because he thought the ring was not genuine and worthless. B．Because he was too anxious about the money to find the ring. C．Because he knew nobody would be interested in buying the ring. D．Because he knew he would be charged severely if he took the ring. 2．What can be inferred about Prather according to the passage? A．He has been a thief ever since he left his family. B．He was still a kid although he looked tall and strong. C．His family didn’t get along with him and give him nothing to eat. D．He left his family and was very hungry before he committed the theft. 3．Why did Gilles feel worried when the divers could not find the ring? A．Because he had to pay for it as it was stolen at his bar. B．Because the police were very likely to arrest Prather. C．Because it would disappoint the crowd gathering around. D．Because it was a wedding ring and very important to the woman. 4．Which words can be used to describe Mr. Gilles? A．Careful and creative. B．Reasonable but cruel. C．Caring and merciful. D．Brave but heartless. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。记叙了Jimmy Gilleece的酒吧中一位女士丢失了钱包，钱包里有她最珍视的结婚戒指。Jimmy Gilleece找到了捡到钱包的年轻人Rivers Prather，但是Rivers Prather拿了钱包里的钱将钱包丢进了海里。Gilleece觉得Prather只是个孩子，于是决定帮助他，最终找到了戒指，Prather也被撤销了指控。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money, and threw the wallet off the public docks into the ocean.

(但警方已经在调查此案，由于丢失的戒指，Prather可能会面临严厉的指控。)”和第六段“Each passing minute increased the chances that the police would arrest the young man. (时间一分一秒地过去，警察逮捕这个年轻人的可能性就增加了。)”可知，当潜水员找不到戒指时，Gilles非常担心，因为警察很可能会逮捕Prather。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段“But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could be facing severe charges. Gilles wanted to help him somehow. (但警方已经在调查此案，由于丢失的戒指，Prather可能会面临严厉的指控。Gilles想以某种方式帮助他。)”可知，Gilles帮助Prather洗清指控，可推断Gilles非常仁慈。根据最后一段“But it wasn’t over for Gilles. He’d been troubled about Prather sleeping in the cold woods. He told the teen he could stay with his family until the boy got on his feet again. He also gave the kid a job at his bar.

He had come to Africa to find out at what stage of the embryo (胚胎) state the foot of the monkeys begins to differ from the human foot. For this purpose, he meant to go and shoot Colobus monkeys on Mount Elgon. “You will never find out from the Colobus monkeys,” I said to him, “they live in the tops of the trees and are shy and difficult to shoot. It would be the greatest luck should you get the embryo you want.” The Professor was hopeful. He was going to stay out till he had got his foot, he said, even if it was be for years. He had applied to the Game Department for permission to shoot the monkeys he wanted. The permission he was, in view of the high scientific object of his research, certain to get, but so far he had had no reply. “How many monkeys have you asked to be allowed to shoot?” I asked him He told me that he had, to begin with, asked for permission to shoot fifteen hundred monkeys. Now I knew the people at the Game Department, and I assisted him to send in a second letter asking for a reply by return of post, since the Professor was keen to get off on his research. The answer from the Game Department did, for once, come by return of post. The Game Department, they wrote, were pleased to inform Professor Landgreen that, in view of the scientific object of his research, they had seen their way to make an exception from their rules, and to raise the number of monkeys on his license from four to six. I had to read the letter over twice to the Professor. When the contents at last were clear to him, he became so deadly shocked and hurt, that he did not say a single word. To my expressions of sympathy he made no reply, but walked out of the house, got into his car and drove away sadly. 1．By “It would be the greatest luck should you get the embryo you want”, the author implies that ________. A．it was no easy job to get Colobus monkeys B．there were very few Colobus monkeys in Africa C．he wished the Professor good luck in doing the research D．the Professor was sure to obtain the embryo despite the difficulties 2．What can be learned about the Game Department from the passage? A．It funded the Professor’s scientific research. B．It allowed the Professor to shoot only six monkeys. C．It was set up to help researchers to find wild animals.

It would be the greatest luck should you get the embryo you want.””（你永远也不会从疣猴身上找到答案，”我对他说，“它们住在树顶，很害羞，很难射杀。如果你能得到你想要的胚胎，那将是最大的幸运。”）故可推知，通过“如果你能得到你想要的胚胎，这将是最大的幸运”，作者暗示弄到疣猴可不是件容易的事。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The Game Department, they wrote, were pleased to inform Professor Landgreen that, in view of the scientific object of his research, they had seen their way to make an exception from their rules, and to raise the number of monkeys on his license from four to six.”（他们写道，游戏部门很高兴地通知兰德格林教授，鉴于他的研究对象是科学，他们已经设法破例，将他许可证上的猴子数量从4只增加到6只。）可知，从文章中我们可以了解到游戏部门只允许教授射杀六只猴子。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中最后一句提到的游戏部门只允许教授射杀六只猴子。以及最后一段中“I had to read the letter over twice to the Professor. When the contents at last were clear to him, he became so deadly shocked and hurt, that he did not say a single word.”（我不得不把信读给教授听两遍。当他终于明白了事情的原委后，他感到非常震惊和痛苦，一句话也没说。）故可推知，作者把信读给教授听后，他什么也没说是因为他不能像预期的那样进行他的研究。故选C项。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Professor was hopeful.”（教授满怀希望。）以及最后一段中“When the contents at last were clear to him, he became so deadly shocked and hurt, that he did not say a single word.

And I feared getting another teacher who had a long list of rules and a stare that could kill a cat. But there was always one part of beginning a new school year that I enjoyed. I always liked going to the store to arm myself with new school supplies—even if I didn’t need them. Sure, my pencils, erasers and notebooks from the previous school year may have had some life left in them. But this didn’t matter. Every year, Dad would pile us into the car, take us to Wal-Mart and let us buy the newest and coolest pencils, rainbow-coloured erasers and spiral notebooks. Besides school supplies, many parents also take their kids on annual shopping spree for new clothes and book bags just in time for school. During the whole process, children are in high spirits, buying a lot of stuff and are back home exhausted. Every year, most of my classmates and I show up to school on the first day with something smelling like a new car. We’d put our new stationery on top of the desks, just to make sure others see them. Leftover supplies from past years were always stuffed into the living room desk. Used clothes that had lost their appeal were sent to second-hand shops, where they would be sold for 50 cents a piece. However, all of the new stuff could only make us excited about going to school for one week, after which the usual boredom and fear come back. 1．What is NOT TRUE about the author at the beginning of a new school year in the passage? A．He often has to face a new teacher. B．He doesn’t enjoy the load of work from school. C．He doesn’t appreciate strict teachers. D．He obtains new school supplies from the school. 2．Why do the students look forward to getting new pencils every year? A．Because the old ones are used up. B．Because new pencils help them to study better. C．Because they want to show their new stuff off. D．Because it’s required by the school. 3．The underlined word “spree” in the passage probably means _________. A．competition B．considerable embarrassment C．wild celebration D．emotional pain 4．How are the old supplies dealt with? A．They are put aside and forgotten. B．They are given to poorer children. C．They are sold online . D．They are treasured by the students. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．A 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了学生每年上学都要购买新的学习用品，未被用完的旧的学习用品被浪费的现象。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段内容“But there was always one part of beginning a new school year that I enjoyed. I always liked going to the store to arm myself with new school supplies—even if I didn’t need them.”（但新学年的开始总有一部分是我喜欢的。我总是喜欢去商店买新的学习用品，即使我不需要它们。）可知，作者在新学年开始时，喜欢去商店买新的学习用品，由此可知，新的学习用品是从商店购买的，“He obtains new school supplies from the school.”意为“他从学校获得新的学习用品。”选项描述与文章不符。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段内容“Every year, most of my classmates and I show up to school on the first day with something smelling like a new car. We’d put our new stationery on top of the desks, just to make sure others see them.”（每年的第一天，我和大多数同学都会带着一些闻起来像新车的东西去上学。我们会把新文具放在书桌上，以确保其他人看到它们。）可知，作者会把新文具放在书桌上，以确保其他人看到它们，他是想向其他同学炫耀自己的新文具，由此可推断出，学生们每年都希望得到新铅笔，因为他们想炫耀他们的新东西。故选C项。 3．词义猜测题。根据画线单词后句“During the whole process, children are in high spirits, buying a lot of stuff and are back home exhausted.”（在整个过程中，孩子们兴高采烈，买了很多东西，精疲力竭地回到家里。）可知，上文指的是孩子们去进行一年一度的购物狂欢了，为上学购买新衣服和书包，所以才会兴高采烈地买了很多东西，“wild celebration”意为“疯狂庆祝”，能够代替画线单词的意思。故选C项。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Leftover supplies from past years were always stuffed into the living room desk.”（过去几年剩下的学习用品总是被塞进客厅的书桌里。）可知，旧的学习用品被塞进客厅的书桌里，不会再使用了的，渐渐被遗忘了，由此可知，旧的学习用品被放在一边，被遗忘了。故选A项。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
