The Gouldian Finch Native to Australia, the Gouldian finch has special green, yellow, red and black markings. For males, the part between the neck and the stomach is bright purple, while for females, this part is pale purple. We all have to agree that nature has created some really great animals with the smallest of details. The Keel-billed Toucan It is the very same crazy bird from the movie Rio. The bird has a black body and a yellow face. Its bill (喙) is mainly green with a red tip and orange sides. That’s why the bird is also called the rainbow-billed toucan. It is seldom seen alone. It travels in small groups of about six to twelve individuals. The Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher It is a tiny pretty bird commonly found in South Asia. This bird is one of the most brightly colored and the smallest of its type. Its special feature is the orange and bluish-purple head, which can be easily recognized. The throat is white with bright orange lines at the bottom. The Poison Dart Frog It is a very beautiful animal. The bright colors of the frog send a warning to its natural enemies about its poison. Commonly found in South America, this frog with some of the brightest shades of yellow, copper, red, green and blue, is among those very animals that you have to watch out for in the Amazon rainforest. 36. What can we learn about the Gouldian finch? A. Its colors can change sometimes. B. Its number has been increasing these years. C. It is more active at night than it is during the day. D. It can be recognized as a male or female by its colors. 37. According to the text, the rainbow-billed toucan ______. A. gets the name because of its colorful feet B. has drawn many film-makers’ attention C. is very friendly to humans D. is quite a social bird 38.

It is the most harmful animal in the Amazon rainforest. 40. What do the four animals have in common? A. They are the smallest of their own families. B. They like having long journeys. C. They come from Australia. D. They have bright colors. B When I was a child, my grandmother often said people and communication mattered. She backed that up with her own behavior. When she walked down the street, she spoke to everyone. It didn’t matter if you were an elderly person or a child, or if you spoke English or Spanish. She had a smile and a conversation for you. However, as she aged, she noticed that her lifestyle was becoming rare. She wanted to know why, in the age of technology, most people believe they don’t have time for communication that’s longer than a text message. In fact, people hardly speak to one another nowadays. As much as I hated to admit it, I had noticed it too. My grandmother’s wisdom inspired me to have a pen pal. It all started in 2013. I had gone to the University of Southern California to meet with Kerstin Zilm, who wanted to interview me about being a student struggling financially. I didn’t know much about German culture or the German audience who would listen to the show, but I agreed to do so because I remembered my grandmother’s wisdom. I felt that telling my story was better than keeping it to myself. You never knew who could learn from your life experiences. Soon after learning my story from the show, a woman named Renate reached out to me, asking how she could help me financially with college. I was thankful that Renate wanted to help, but my pride didn’t allow me to accept money. Thinking of my grandmother’s wisdom, I didn’t let the communication stop. I emailed Renate back, thanking her sincerely. From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. She even sent me gifts and cakes on my birthday. And whenever I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual hugs at the moments when I needed them most. Though I have never met her in person, she is one of the most important people in my life. And I promise I will turn all the virtual hugs into real ones one day. 41. What does the author intend to tell us about her grandmother? A. She made lots of foreign friends. B. She valued interpersonal relationships. C. She enjoyed hanging about in the streets. D. She was good at dealing with family problems. 42. What did the author notice about people today? A. They prefer to be alone. B. They dream of having a pen pal. C. They dislike sending long text messages. D. They have limited communication with others. 43. Why did the author decide to do the interview? A. To benefit people through storytelling. B. To spread her grandmother’s lessons. C. To win some financial support. D. To gain practical knowledge. 44. What happened to the author after the show was broadcast? A. She set up an online chat club. B. She was able to afford college. C. She developed a deep friendship. D. She found a language learning partner. 45. Which of the following can best describe Renate? A. Kind and supportive. B. Talented and careful. C. Patient and creative. D. Honest and responsible. C eHealth can improve our lifestyle without the help of a health care provider. “You have 1,563 steps left to reach your step goal for today. Would you like to take a walk?” When a sports watch provides such feedback, there is a much greater chance that you will take more steps. It also helps if an app teaches you something about health, “It’s very good that you drink sugar-free cola. But it does have caffeine, which raises your blood pressure.” Social psychologist Talia Cohen Rodrigues interviewed 16 health care professionals and surveyed over 650 people with a special disease about their opinions and expectations of lifestyle interventions(干预)and eHealth. It’s amazing that older patients prefer to see a health care professional because they may not be very skilled at technology. Younger patients want to be guided by an app or a coach to improve their lifestyle. Cohen Rodrigues believes that we need to offer patients choices. For example, current medical programs after a heart attack are rather uniform. People often receive group sessions and fixed content. If an app offers the opportunity to create a personalized program and give patients freedom in improving their lifestyle, it will be much more welcomed. Making progress with eHealth without human intervention sounds very enticing, especially in times when health care costs are increasing. However, is Health the solution to increasing weight-related issues and other lifestyle problems? Cohen Rodrigues fears not for two reasons. “If you drink tea instead of cola thanks to your app, it doesn’t help if the supermarket keeps offering cheap cola,” said Cohen Rodrigues. “Secondly, eHealth can make many people aware of their behavior and help change it.” But there are disadvantaged areas where we need to be careful about such solutions. Lower digital skills make eHealth less effective. Additionally, due to the lack of money, some people often have no mental space to work on their health. That’s something we should deal with. Otherwise, successful eHealth will only worsen health differences. 46. How does eHealth encourage healthier behaviors? A. By offering personalized reminders. B. By connecting patients with doctors. C. By starting relaxing daily conversations. D. By providing prizes for healthy choices. 47. What result does Cohen Rodrigues’ interview show? A. Technology-based health tools are widely popular. B. Patient age shapes preference for health guidance. C. Health care professionals support eHealth solutions. D. Traditional health care methods should be improved. 48. What problem is mentioned about some current medical programs? A. Little attention to specific needs. B. The shortage of medical experts. C. Poor follow-up care for patients. D. The high cost of health care. 49. What does the underlined word “enticing” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Unnecessary. B. Confusing. C. Attractive. D. Private. 50. Why does Cohen Rodrigues have doubts about the use of eHealth? A. Its long-term benefits can be unclear. B. It mainly suits disadvantaged communities. C. It fails to deal with mental health problems. D. Its effects are influenced by real-life conditions. D Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot, seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can — then let the unconscious take over. When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. 51. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ______. A. seek help B. work hard C. delay tasks D. accept failure 52. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue? A. Writing essays in strict order. B. Dealing with the hardest task first. C. Leaving out the toughest ideas. D. Building up physical strength. 53. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A. Before starting a difficult task. B. After finding a way out. C. If the job is rather boring. D. When all the solutions fail. 54. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ______. A. find the right solution B. get some nice sleep C. gain complete relief D. ignore mental problems 55. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Success Is Built upon Failure. B. How to Handle Performance Fatigue. C. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems. D. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success. 第Ⅲ卷 非选择题（满分30分） 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Six days a week, up and down the red hills of northeast Georgia, my grandfather brought the mail to the folks there. At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community. On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for — good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy. “Thank you for your nice words,” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isn’t having it made; it’s getting it made.” “The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet. I rarely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments, but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. It’s the journey, not the arrival, that counts.” The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up and get going, because I will have one less year to do things — and there are ten million things waiting to be done.” Christina Rossetti an English poet, once said: “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end.” Today, at 96, my grandfather is still on that long road, climbing. 56. What was the author’s grandfather before he retired? (no more than 5 words) 57. What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter? (no more than 10 words) 58. What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back? (no more than 10 words) 59. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words) 60. Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life? Give reasons in your own words, (no more than 20 words) 第二节 书面表达（满分20分） 61. 假如你是李津，你的学校即将举办“茶文化”沙龙。请你给外教Tom写封邮件，邀请他一起参加这个活动，内容包括： 1. 活动的时间和地点； 2. 活动安排（如听讲座、品茶、研讨等）； 3. 简要介绍喝茶的好处（明目，提神醒脑、助消化等）。 注意：1. 词数不少于100字； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：沙龙salon 消化digestion 乌龙茶oolong 红茶black tea Dear Tom, Best regards, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Li Jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 大港一中2025届高三月考2英语试题 2024.11.15 试卷满分150分；考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 听对话，选择正确选项。 1.

When she walked down the street, she spoke to everyone. It didn’t matter if you were an elderly person or a child, or if you spoke English or Spanish. She had a smile and a conversation for you. However, as she aged, she noticed that her lifestyle was becoming rare. She wanted to know why, in the age of technology, most people believe they don’t have time for communication that’s longer than a text message. In fact, people hardly speak to one another nowadays. As much as I hated to admit it, I had noticed it too. My grandmother’s wisdom inspired me to have a pen pal. It all started in 2013. I had gone to the University of Southern California to meet with Kerstin Zilm, who wanted to interview me about being a student struggling financially. I didn’t know much about German culture or the German audience who would listen to the show, but I agreed to do so because I remembered my grandmother’s wisdom. I felt that telling my story was better than keeping it to myself. You never knew who could learn from your life experiences. Soon after learning my story from the show, a woman named Renate reached out to me, asking how she could help me financially with college. I was thankful that Renate wanted to help, but my pride didn’t allow me to accept money. Thinking of my grandmother’s wisdom, I didn’t let the communication stop. I emailed Renate back, thanking her sincerely. From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. She even sent me gifts and cakes on my birthday. And whenever I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual hugs at the moments when I needed them most. Though I have never met her in person, she is one of the most important people in my life. And I promise I will turn all the virtual hugs into real ones one day. 41. What does the author intend to tell us about her grandmother? A. She made lots of foreign friends. B. She valued interpersonal relationships. C. She enjoyed hanging about in the streets. D. She was good at dealing with family problems. 42. What did the author notice about people today? A. They prefer to be alone. B. They dream of having a pen pal. C. They dislike sending long text messages. D. They have limited communication with others. 43. Why did the author decide to do the interview? A To benefit people through storytelling. B. To spread her grandmother’s lessons. C. To win some financial support. D. To gain practical knowledge. 44. What happened to the author after the show was broadcast? A. She set up an online chat club. B. She was able to afford college. C. She developed a deep friendship. D. She found a language learning partner. 45. Which of the following can best describe Renate? A. Kind and supportive. B. Talented and careful. C. Patient and creative. D. Honest and responsible. 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. A 44. C 45.

(我不太了解德国文化，也不太了解会听这个节目的德国观众，但我还是同意了，因为我记得祖母的智慧。我觉得把我的故事讲出来总比憋在心里好。你永远不知道谁会从你的生活经历中学习。)”可知，作者决定做这个采访是因为她认为分享她的故事可能会有所帮助。故选A项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. She even sent me gifts and cakes on my birthday. And whenever I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual hugs at the moments when I needed them most.

Would you like to take a walk?” When a sports watch provides such feedback, there is a much greater chance that you will take more steps. It also helps if an app teaches you something about health, “It’s very good that you drink sugar-free cola. But it does have caffeine, which raises your blood pressure.” Social psychologist Talia Cohen Rodrigues interviewed 16 health care professionals and surveyed over 650 people with a special disease about their opinions and expectations of lifestyle interventions(干预)and eHealth. It’s amazing that older patients prefer to see a health care professional because they may not be very skilled at technology. Younger patients want to be guided by an app or a coach to improve their lifestyle. Cohen Rodrigues believes that we need to offer patients choices. For example, current medical programs after a heart attack are rather uniform. People often receive group sessions and fixed content. If an app offers the opportunity to create a personalized program and give patients freedom in improving their lifestyle, it will be much more welcomed. Making progress with eHealth without human intervention sounds very enticing, especially in times when health care costs are increasing. However, is Health the solution to increasing weight-related issues and other lifestyle problems? Cohen Rodrigues fears not for two reasons. “If you drink tea instead of cola thanks to your app, it doesn’t help if the supermarket keeps offering cheap cola,” said Cohen Rodrigues. “Secondly, eHealth can make many people aware of their behavior and help change it.” But there are disadvantaged areas where we need to be careful about such solutions. Lower digital skills make eHealth less effective. Additionally, due to the lack of money, some people often have no mental space to work on their health. That’s something we should deal with. Otherwise, successful eHealth will only worsen health differences. 46. How does eHealth encourage healthier behaviors? A. By offering personalized reminders. B. By connecting patients with doctors. C. By starting relaxing daily conversations. D. By providing prizes for healthy choices. 47. What result does Cohen Rodrigues’ interview show? A. Technology-based health tools are widely popular. B. Patient age shapes preference for health guidance. C. Health care professionals support eHealth solutions. D. Traditional health care methods should be improved. 48. What problem is mentioned about some current medical programs? A. Little attention to specific needs. B. The shortage of medical experts. C. Poor follow-up care for patients. D. The high cost of health care. 49. What does the underlined word “enticing” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Unnecessary. B. Confusing. C. Attractive. D. Private. 50. Why does Cohen Rodrigues have doubts about the use of eHealth? A. Its long-term benefits can be unclear. B. It mainly suits disadvantaged communities. C. It fails to deal with mental health problems. D. Its effects are influenced by real-life conditions. 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. A 49. C 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了电子健康可以改善我们的生活方式，但是也存在一些问题，比如电子健康的 效果受到现实条件的影响。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“When a sports watch provides such feedback, there is a much greater chance that you will take more steps. (当运动手表提供这样的反馈时，你更有可能采取更多的步骤)”可知，电子健康通过提供个性化的提醒鼓励健康的行为，故答案为A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“It’s amazing that older patients prefer to see a health care professional because they may not be very skilled at technology. Younger patients want to be guided by an app or a coach to improve their lifestyle. (令人惊讶的是，年长的患者更喜欢去看医疗保健专业人士，因为他们可能不太擅长技术。年轻患者希望由应用程序或教练指导他们改善生活方式) ”可知，患者年龄影响了对健康指导的偏好，故答案为B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Cohen Rodrigues believes that we need to offer patients choices. For example, current medical programs after a heart attack are rather uniform. People often receive group sessions and fixed content. If an app offers the opportunity to create a personalized program and give patients freedom in improving their lifestyle, it will be much more welcomed. (科恩·罗德里格斯认为，我们需要为患者提供选择。例如，目前心脏病发作后的医疗方案相当统一。人们经常接受小组会议和固定内容。如果一个应用程序提供了创建个性化程序的机会，并让患者在改善生活方式方面自由，它将受到更多欢迎)”和第四段“Making progress with eHealth without human intervention sounds very enticing, especially in times when health care costs are increasing.(在没有人工干预的情况下通过电子健康取得进展听起来很有吸引力，特别是在卫生保健成本不断上升的时候)”可知，电子健康因为其在改善生活方面的自由，以及不用人工干预，健康成本低而受欢迎，因此推断一些目前的医疗项目很少关注具体需求，故答案为A。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“without human intervention(没有人工干预)”和下文“especially in times when health care costs are increasing(特别是在卫生保健成本不断上升的时候)”可推断，电子健康取得的进展听起来非常有吸引力，画线词与C项“有吸引力的”意思相近，故答案选C。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““If you drink tea instead of cola thanks to your app, it doesn’t help if the supermarket keeps offering cheap cola,” said Cohen Rodrigues. “Secondly, eHealth can make many people aware of their behavior and help change it.” But there are disadvantaged areas where we need to be careful about such solutions. (科恩.罗德里格斯说：“如果你在应用程序的帮助下喝茶而不是可乐但超市继续提供廉价的可乐，这并没有帮助。” Cohen Rodrigues 说“其次，电子健康可以让很多人意识到自己的行为，并帮助改变它。但在一些弱势领域，我们需要谨慎对待这样的解决方案”) ”可知，科恩·罗德里格斯对电子健康的使用持怀疑态度是因为电子健康的效果受到现实条件的影响，故答案为D。 D Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot, seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can — then let the unconscious take over. When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. 51. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ______. A. seek help B. work hard C. delay tasks D. accept failure 52. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue? A. Writing essays in strict order. B. Dealing with the hardest task first. C. Leaving out the toughest ideas. D. Building up physical strength. 53. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A. Before starting a difficult task. B. After finding a way out. C. If the job is rather boring. D. When all the solutions fail. 54. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ______. A. find the right solution B. get some nice sleep C. gain complete relief D. ignore mental problems 55. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Success Is Built upon Failure. B. How to Handle Performance Fatigue. C. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems. D. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success. 【答案】51. C 52. B 53. D 54. A 55. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲述如何克服失败导致的启动疲惫和表现疲惫。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. (在前一种情况下，我们总是推迟一项任务，因为它要么太无聊，要么太难)”可知，有启动疲惫的人更可能拖延任务。故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. (这种启动疲劳是非常真实的，即使不是身体上的，也不是肌肉和骨骼上的。解决办法很明显，但可能不容易实施：总是先处理最难的工作。)”可知，作者建议阻止启动疲劳的方法是先处理最难的工作。故选B。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, bow ever hard we work, we fail again and again. (表现疲劳更难处理。虽然愿意开始，但我们似乎不能把工作做好。它的困难似乎是如此之大，以至于无论我们多么努力，我们还是一次又一次地失败。)”可知，表现疲劳主要发生在当所有的解决方案都失败的情况下。故选D。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段前两句“An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. (一个小时后，我突然醒来，脑海中清晰地浮现出解决方案。在接下来的几个星期里，在我潜意识里出现的解决办法每一步都证明是正确的。)”可知，潜意识能够帮助我们解决问题。故选A。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段“Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. (失败可能是一个人所经历过的最令人筋疲力尽的经历。没有什么比没有成功更让人疲惫的了。)”以及末段“Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. (我相信，人类必须努力取得成功。因此，成功意味着永不疲倦)”可知，文章主要介绍如何克服疲惫走向成功。故选D。 第Ⅲ卷 非选择题（满分30分） 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Six days a week, up and down the red hills of northeast Georgia, my grandfather brought the mail to the folks there. At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community. On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for — good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy. “Thank you for your nice words,” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isn’t having it made; it’s getting it made.” “The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet. I rarely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments, but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. It’s the journey, not the arrival, that counts.” The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up and get going, because I will have one less year to do things — and there are ten million things waiting to be done.” Christina Rossetti, an English poet, once said: “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end.” Today, at 96, my grandfather is still on that long road, climbing. 56. What was the author’s grandfather before he retired? (no more than 5 words) 57. What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter? (no more than 10 words) 58. What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back? (no more than 10 words) 59. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words) 60. Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life? Give reasons in your own words, (no more than 20 words) 【答案】56. He was a postman. Or: He worked in a post-office. 57. He advised him to slow down (and take things easy). / He advised he/his grandfather (should) slow down. 58. The process is more important than the result. Or: A man should not slow down however old he is. Or: Life isn't having it made; it's getting it made. / It's the journey, not the arrival that counts. 59. My/His/The grandfather is still busy doing meaningful things. Or: The grandfather is still living an active life. Or: The grandfather is still involved in whatever he can do. 60. Yes. Because one should always be full of passion in his life no matter how old he is. Or: Because people should make full use of their time to do something meaningful. No. Because it is more sensible for people to slow down and enjoy an easy life in their old age. Or: Because slowing down contributes to better health and longer life for people in old age. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者的爷爷曾经是名邮寄员，然而退休之后一直忙于做一些有意义的事情。作者写信给爷爷让他多休息休息，但爷爷回信说他仍然坚持他的忙碌的生活。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段At age 68, he retired from the post office可知，68岁时，他从邮局退休。故回答为：He was a postman.
