She’d been listening to the radio and heard an interview with a best-selling author of young adult fantasy novels. The woman’s name was Tamora Pierce, the same as a young student my mom had taught nearly four decades before. The Internet should be able to tell us. I found the author’s website quickly. She was a popular writer of books. I clicked on the biography link to scan for references to Burlingame Junior High, where my mom had worked, and my heart began to excite when I spotted it at the bottom of the first section. Here was confirmation that my mother had taught a now-famous writer! But my eyes came to a stop reading the next paragraph, in which Pierce described writing her first fiction as a sixth grader. “The next year, as I was still scribbling (乱写) my own stories, my English teacher, Mrs. Jacobson, introduced me to the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien,” the biography read. “I got hooked on fantasy, and then on science fiction, and both made their way into my stories.” My mother’s name was Mary Jacobson. Within days, my dad had checked out all the Tamora Pierce books at the local library, and in one we found another surprise: a 1998 novel, which was dedicated (题献词) to “the teacher who shaped my life”. The teacher was Mary Jacobson. The dedication concluded, “A great teacher is above all other treasures.” This story made me see my mom differently. We knew she was a teacher, but we had no idea what kind of teacher she had been. She was just 24 when she taught Pierce. Until 2011, when she passed away, we did know who she was. 5．Why did the mother wear a puzzled look in Paragraph 1? A．The interviewee was a best-selling writer. B．The interviewee may be her former student. C．The author visited the parents unexpectedly. D．She was listening to the radio when the author arrived. 6．Searching for the information about Pierce, the author knew . A．the pride the mother took in Pierce. B．the mother’s preference for fantasy.

B．Caring and demanding. C．Inspiring and respectable. D．Sympathetic and intelligent. 8．What’s the suitable title of the passage? A．An Ordinary Teacher Shaping A Famous Writer B．A Woman Writer with Gratitude for Her Teacher C．Pierce: From a Student Writer to a Fantasy Queen D．To Honor My Mother: A Creator of Famous Writers （三） （23-24高二上·浙江绍兴·期末）It is difficult to name a female architect more iconic than Zaha Hadid, whose name can be translated from Arabic as glorious. She passed away five years ago at the age of 65, but the impact she has left on the world of architecture is profound. Hadid was born into an upper-class Iraqi family in 1950. At the very beginning, she wanted to become a mathematician and studied science at the American University of Beirut, But at some point she realized that she preferred shapes to numbers. And she turned her concentration to architecture and went to London where she met the famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. “There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?” Hadid once said. Despite her abundance of amazing ideas, before the beginning of the 90s, not a single building based on her blueprints had been built. Her highly expressive style, while initially criticized and believed to be crazy, is now regarded as pioneering work. Her striking contemporary architecture, inspired by natural landforms, has graced the skylines of major metropolitan cities. “Women are always being told, ‘you’re not going to make it; It’s too difficult. You can’t do that Don’t enter this competition; You’ll never win it’,” Hadid said. “They need confidence in themselves and people around them for support.” Never one to be boxed in by conventions, Hadid proved society wrong. She received her first prize, the “Gold Medal Architectural Design” for her British Architecture in 1982. From then on, the awards kept rolling in. But the true triumph for Hadid came in 2004. Her project for the London Olympics Aquatic Center won her the Pritzker Architecture Prize. She became the first woman and first Muslim to earn the award, making a name for herself and paving the way for female architects. Hadid’s genius lives on in the array of many other spectacular buildings she has left behind in the world. Among them are the Guangzhou Opera House, the Beijing Daxing International Airport, as well as the Al Wakrah Stadium in Qatar where the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held. Hadid may be gone, but her global influence on a new generation of female architects is here to stay. 9．What made Hadid quit science to learn architecture? A．Her talent in architecture. B．Her interest in architecture. C．Her difficulty in learning science. D．Her encounter with Rem Koolhaas. 10．What can we learn about Hadid’s works? A．Her architecture was inspired by mathematics B．Her British Architecture won her the Pritzker Architecture Prize. C．Her architecture style was too bold to be accepted at the very beginning. D．Her works can only be found in European countries and the Middle East. 11．What does paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The talk between Hadid and her colleague. B．The reason why women fail to be architects. C．The prejudice from society against women. D．The difficulty Hadid faced being an architect. 12．What is the most profound impact Hadid has left on the world? A．She formed a unique style. B．She broke away from the convention.

But this wasn’t just any trip. In 2013, Mr. Pedersen read an article about someone who had visited all the countries of the world. It made him realize he could set a record by doing the same thing, but without flying. He hoped that he could live on a budget of about $20 a day. He had originally anticipated it would take four years to reach countries, but the world had other plans. Though he did have to quit his job and leave his parents and girlfriend behind, the first part of his trip was pretty easy, but as he moved on to other parts of the world, things began to get hard. To cross large bodies of water, Mr. Pedersen took boats. Sometimes it was hard to find a boat. At other times, Mr. Pedersen was on a boat for days, being tossed (摇摆颠簸) by strong waves during a storm. He traveled by taxi, bus, train, and even walking. With a limited budget, sometimes people invited him into their homes. At other times, he had to sleep outside. Mr. Pedersen says he had many difficult experiences. He was once held at gunpoint and thought he might be killed. He also became severely ill with a serious disease. But he also had many good experiences. Mr. Pedersen says that one reason why he didn’t give up was the help he got from people all over the world. On July 26, Mr. Pedersen arrived back in Denmark after a 33-day boat ride. He was met by about 150 people, including friends and family members. In the last 10 years, he’s covered around 260,000 miles — roughly 10 times the distance around the Earth. Mr. Pedersen says he’s looking forward to some quiet time to think about his trip.

I, like many of them, volunteer some of my time in order to give back just a little of what I am so blessed to have. I volunteered to go to Guatemala with an eyeglass team from International Relief Teams — an organization I have supported in other ways for many years. Our team went to a small town in Guatemala, San Augustin. We set up our tables and packages of pre-made glasses in the dirty courtyard of a clinic, put up the Snellen chart (an eye chart) on a wall, and began our work. Young and old people came from many of the surrounding towns. Most had never received an eye exam before. They waited for hours patiently in the sun, never complaining. If we could help them out, their thankfulness for a simple pair of glasses was overwhelming. Some only left with eye drops or sunglasses, and even these people expressed their gratitude sincerely. All of them were very generous with blessings and smiles. We heard over and over from people who knew their eyes needed help but they had not gone to a doctor because it was too expensive, or had not got the glasses they needed for the same reason. It’s so easy to overlook how much difference the volunteers’ small actions can make to the lives of people in Guatemala. The glasses in my country are so easily available, but to people in Guatemala, they are not. As those who could give them a hand, we watched their lives change. What a gift sight is — and what a difference being able to see clearly makes! Here, we’d like you to join us and take action to help people in need. And every day, those actions change lives. No action is too small; no action is ever wasted. 17．According to Paragraph 1, the author is probably ________. A．a major host of good deeds B．a sponsor of an eyeglass team C．a generous neighbor in his community D．a supporter of International Relief Teams 18．What do we know about the volunteers in the eyeglass team? A．Their working environment is simple. B．They are medical experts nationwide. C．Their initial preparation is inadequate. D．They have served people in Guatemala for years. 19．Which of the following words can be used to describe most people in Guatemala? A．Kind and helpful. B．Poor but grateful. C．Considerate and patient. D．Knowledgeable but unhealthy. 20．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To urge people to protect their eyes. B．To ask people to volunteer in Guatemala. C．To call on people to do good deeds in daily life. D．To show the difficult life of people in Guatemala. （六） （23-24高二上·江西上饶·期末）My 83-year-old mother came to live with me a year ago last November. She was very ill and I had to put my life on hold to care for her. Each morning, I got her up and dressed her and made her breakfast and sat with her. I rushed for a bowl when she felt sick, and lit fires to keep her warm. I cooked and talked her into eating some. It’s a hard job caring for a sick or dying parent, whoever you are. But it was especially hard for me, I feel, because I am a doctor myself. I couldn’t help looking at her in two different ways. The medical professional saw a body and checked it with the cold heart that medicine requires. But the daughter saw the woman who had given birth to me, sent me off to college and had been an important role for a long time in my life for over half a century. Also, my mother didn’t appreciate how hard it was for me to care for her. I remember an exchange between her and the nurse who came to see her once a week. “You could get some more help with care.” “Oh, I don’t think I need that,” Mom said. Mom didn’t understand that the help would have taken some of the hard work off me. None of the treatments her doctors gave her worked, and finally her life became about free of pain. She refused painkillers (止痛药) for a long time, but finally the pain beat her. And when she accepted painkillers she accepted the fact that she would die. Illness and needs took us across personal boundaries (边界) I’d never considered before. And yet, while living and being and dying with Mom I saw something valuable coming. We became closer. We shared so many stories from our past that it was as if our memories had become one. In the past our relationship had been difficult. We had often argued. But when the end came, both of us simply accepted that we looked at the world in different ways. We were daughter and mother and we loved each other. That was all that mattered. 21．Why was taking care of her mom especially hard for the writer? A．She was too busy living her own life. B．She and her mom had a difficult relationship. C．She was too old to look after her mom carefully. D．She regarded her mom both as a patient and a loved one. 22．When the writer heard the conversation between her mom and the nurse, ______. A．she felt very upset. B．she was surprised. C．she showed her thanks to the nurse. D．she thought she needed a more helpful nurse. 23．We can infer from the passage that ______. A．the writer’s mom was a kind and gentle woman. B．it was easier for the writer to take care of her mom as a doctor. C．the writer was getting on better with her mom while taking care of her. D．the writer’s mom had difficulty understanding what the nurse said. 24．What did the writer learn from the experience of looking after her sick mother? A．Love was more important than differences. B．Being alive was the most important thing. C．We should learn to understand other people. D．It was better for family members to live their own. （七） （23-24高二上·山东青岛·期末）The area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12,2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home. But the ash didn’t stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks (砖) a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities. “What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let’s transform this into opportunity.” The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit. 25．What can be learned about Taal Volcano? A．It attracts more and more settlers. B．It becomes inactive.

However, Shen’s decision to dive into the unpredictable world of full-time video blogging after graduating in 2019, with a focus on the popular game League of Legends (LOL), raised eyebrows. Initially, Shen’s family supported his career choice, but when he struggled to make ends meet within the first year, they began to advise him to seek a more secure job. But Shen remained determined and persisted with his chosen path. A turning point in Shen’s career occurred at the start of this year when he posted a seemingly odd video, replacing the D and F keys on a keyboard, crucial for in-game character actions, with a foot pedal. Describing it as a “pointless invention” created for fun, Shen admitted that the video initially received limited attention. But a message from a viewer who had lost an arm in a car accident changed everything. The viewer, who relied on one hand to play games, sought guidance on creating a similar foot pedal. “I hadn’t realized that there would be disabled players in need of this kind of pedal,” Shen said. Despite his limited knowledge of circuit-building, he managed to produce 10 different foot pedals and traveled to Chongqing to personally assist the player in installation(安装), gaining valuable feedback. “Due to physical limitations, this player could only operate two simple game characters,” Shen explained. However, with this device, which allows the player to pedal with his foot, he can now play games like a regular person using a keyboard. Recognizing the diverse needs of disabled players nationwide, Shen started providing free assistance in making these pedals. The continuous feedback within the community encouraged Shen to improve his inventions constantly. Shen’s videos recording his experiences touched many internet users, earning him the title of the true “legend” of LOL. “I’m honored to receive this praise. But the real legends were the audience whose support had made the needs of disabled players easier to understand,” he said. 29．What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A．Shen’s career was thought to be promising. B．Shen’s difficulties didn’t defeat him. C．Shen’s family were always for his choice. D．Shen’s job focused on developing games. 30．The viewer’s message made Shen realize that _________. A．there was some use for the foot pedal B．different foot pedals should be created C．he helped the disabled use pedals D．he needed to accept others’ feedback 31．Which of the following best describes Shen? A．Modest and honest. B．Determined and creative. C．Helpful and brave. D．Kind and humorous. 32．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Usefulness of “Uselessness” B．Blogs of a blogger C．Possibility of the Disabled D．Knowing of “Unknowns” （九） （23-24高二上·湖北黄冈·期末）A simple haircut can be a major stress or for someone with cognitive or physical disabilities. Loud noises from hair dryers and strong smells can trigger a person with autism (自闭症), and just getting in the door can be tough for anyone in a wheelchair. But one Minnesota stylist is looking to change that by opening an accessible salon. With a nine-year-old stepdaughter, Maddy, who uses a wheelchair because of spina-bifida (脊柱裂), Cat Rongitsch knows firsthand how inaccessible spaces like hair salons can be. “We’ve been dragged through back doors or expected to carry her down stairs or use freight elevators because they’re not prepared to accommodate her,” says Rongitsch, who also has a three-year-old daughter who might have high-functioning autism, though she hasn’t been tested yet. Rongitsch already makes haircut house calls to kids who find traditional salons stressful. “Everyone is desperate for a safe place that will not be a crazy meltdown experience, and oftentimes that means calling down to someone’s house,” she says. “Going anywhere else seems unimaginable.” But Rongitsch dreams of a place where anyone can feel safe and comfortable getting a haircut outside the home. Rongitsch is making plans to open Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota. The doors and walkways would have plenty of room for wheelchairs, and textured floors would make it easy for visually impaired people to navigate. A spa-like atmosphere at Dignified Beauty would be less triggering to people with autism. Loud top-40 hits would be replaced with soft classical music (if anything). Stylists would use quiet hair dryers and soft voices. Fidget toys (解压玩具) and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm. Safe spaces would be available if anyone felt overwhelmed by sound, smell, or touch. As for the staff, Rongitsch would look to hire people with “a heart full of love for each individual,” she says. Stylists would learn how to handle customers who don’t like others touching their hair. They would also give every client the same level of dignity, which is particularly important to Rongitsch, who’s seen strangers ignore Maddy. “They’re not sure if it’s a physical disability or mental disability loo, so they will talk to me and not her,” says Rongitsch. “That issue is the biggest with her: just being acknowledged as a person.” 33．What can we know about Rongitsch from the first 3 paragraphs? A．She has a nine-year-old daughter who uses a wheelchair. B．She sometimes calls on at someone’s house to make haircuts. C．She owns an available Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota. D．Her daughter has been diagnosed with high-functioning autism. 34．What service can people with autism enjoy at Dignified Beauty? A．Passionate music. B．Devices for relieving stress. C．Immoderate equipment. D．Thrilling movies with tense plots. 35．Which of the following best describes Rongitsch? A．Positive and selfless. B．Elegant and ambitious. C．Optimistic and devoted. D．Considerate and insightful. 36．What can be the suitable title for the text? A．Rongitsch — A Kindhearted Stylist with Love for Individual B．People with Disabilities Deserve Dignity as Healthy People C．A Salon Accessible to People with Disabilities to Be Opened by a Woman D．Rongitsch and Her disabled Daughters Long for Being Acknowledged as a Person （十） （23-24高二上·湖南株洲·期末）In 2015, Chennai was destroyed by one of the worst floods in over a century, leaving thousands without food, water and supplies. During the flood, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santosh, a young man who owned a take-out restaurant in Chennai. When the first flood hit in November, he got a call from a company called Naga Rava. The company asked him to prepare 5,000 packets of food and give them to the flood victims. He, with his partners, took the order, cooked for 14 hours and delivered them. But that night, as they sat together discussing the event of the day, they actually felt ashamed. “Here was a man not even from Chennai and he was going out of his way to help the affected people.

He did not sleep for four days, taking a one-hour break everyday as he kept on cooking. As word got out about this man’s effort, others stepped out to join him. From children to the elderly, strangers came to help him in cooking, packing and transporting food. Up to 300 volunteers worked together to make it all happen.

But she didn’t know her quiet work would change lives around the world. Gladys West knew from a young age that she didn’t want to be a farmer. But the mathematician, born in 1930 in a county, still had to help harvest crops on her family’s small farm. The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. She hated the dirt but, while she worked, she kept her mind on the building behind the trees at the end of the farm. It was her school, and even then she knew it would be her ticket to freedom. “I was gonna get an education and I was going to get out of there. I wasn’t going to be stuck there all my life,” West, 89, says firmly. Gladys West began her career as a mathematician in 1956 in a lab where there were only three other black employees when she joined. She was widely admired for her ability to solve complex mathematical problems by hand. She eventually went on to program computers to solve the equations (等式) for her. Her first major project was to determine the movements of Neptune and Pluto in relation to each other. In 1978, Gladys became the Project Manager of SeaSat, an surveillance (监控) satellite designed to provide data on oceanographic features and conditions. The project was among the first to show that satellites can be used to observe oceanographic data. By programming a computer to account for tides, gravity, and other factors, Gladys and her team created a program to precisely calculate the orbit of satellites. Her work on this project made it possible to develop a geoid, which is a model of the shape of the Earth. The model and its later updates led to her developing the GPS system, which can make accurate calculations in any location on Earth. Finally in 2018, through her tireless efforts, Gladys West received formal recognition for her work on the GPS. Her name also got featured on the BBC’s 100 Women of 2018, which honored inspiring women from around the globe. 41．What can we learn in paragraph 2?

She’d been listening to the radio and heard an interview with a best-selling author of young adult fantasy novels. The woman’s name was Tamora Pierce, the same as a young student my mom had taught nearly four decades before. The Internet should be able to tell us. I found the author’s website quickly. She was a popular writer of books. I clicked on the biography link to scan for references to Burlingame Junior High, where my mom had worked, and my heart began to excite when I spotted it at the bottom of the first section. Here was confirmation that my mother had taught a now-famous writer! But my eyes came to a stop reading the next paragraph, in which Pierce described writing her first fiction as a sixth grader. “The next year, as I was still scribbling (乱写) my own stories, my English teacher, Mrs. Jacobson, introduced me to the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien,” the biography read. “I got hooked on fantasy, and then on science fiction, and both made their way into my stories.” My mother’s name was Mary Jacobson. Within days, my dad had checked out all the Tamora Pierce books at the local library, and in one we found another surprise: a 1998 novel, which was dedicated (题献词) to “the teacher who shaped my life”. The teacher was Mary Jacobson. The dedication concluded, “A great teacher is above all other treasures.” This story made me see my mom differently. We knew she was a teacher, but we had no idea what kind of teacher she had been. She was just 24 when she taught Pierce. Until 2011, when she passed away, we did know who she was. 5．Why did the mother wear a puzzled look in Paragraph 1? A．The interviewee was a best-selling writer. B．The interviewee may be her former student. C．The author visited the parents unexpectedly. D．She was listening to the radio when the author arrived. 6．Searching for the information about Pierce, the author knew . A．the pride the mother took in Pierce. B．the mother’s preference for fantasy. C．the mother’s influence on Pierce and her gratitude. D．the hardship Pierce had suffered to become a writer. 7．Which of the following can best describe Jacobson? A．Devoted and grateful. B．Caring and demanding. C．Inspiring and respectable. D．Sympathetic and intelligent. 8．What’s the suitable title of the passage? A．An Ordinary Teacher Shaping A Famous Writer B．A Woman Writer with Gratitude for Her Teacher C．Pierce: From a Student Writer to a Fantasy Queen D．To Honor My Mother: A Creator of Famous Writers 【答案】5．B 6．C 7．C 8．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的母亲是一名老师，但是她曾经教过的一个学生成为了著名的作家，学生表达了对老师的感谢。 5．细节理解题。根据第一段“I was visiting my parents in 2003 when my mom came out of their room with a puzzled look on her face. She’d been listening to the radio and heard an interview with a best-selling author of young adult fantasy novels. The woman’s name was Tamora Pierce, the same as a young student my mom had taught nearly four decades before.(2003年，我去看望父母，母亲从他们的房间里走出来，脸上带着困惑的表情。她一直在听收音机，听到了对一位畅销青少年奇幻小说作家的采访。这个女人的名字叫塔莫拉·皮尔斯，和我妈妈近40年前教过的一个年轻学生一样。)”可知，在第一段中母亲带着困惑的表情因为受访者可能是她以前的学生。故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段““The next year, as I was still scribbling (乱写) my own stories, my English teacher, Mrs. Jacobson, introduced me to the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien,” the biography read. “I got hooked on fantasy, and then on science fiction, and both made their way into my stories.” My mother’s name was Mary Jacobson.( “第二年，当我还在写自己的故事时，我的英语老师雅各布森夫人向我介绍了j·r·r·托尔金的《指环王》三部曲，”传记中写道。“我先是迷上了奇幻小说，后来又迷上了科幻小说，它们都出现在我的故事里。”我母亲的名字叫玛丽·雅各布森。)”以及第四段“Within days, my dad had checked out all the Tamora Pierce books at the local library, and in one we found another surprise: a 1998 novel, which was dedicated (题献词) to “the teacher who shaped my life”. The teacher was Mary Jacobson. The dedication concluded, “A great teacher is above all other treasures.”(几天之内，我父亲就在当地的图书馆借出了所有塔莫拉·皮尔斯的书，在其中一本中我们发现了另一个惊喜：一本1998年的小说，献给“塑造我一生的老师”。老师是玛丽·雅各布森。献词的结尾是：“伟大的老师高于一切财富。”)”可知，在搜索皮尔斯的信息时，作者了解了母亲对皮尔斯的影响和她的感激。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据第三段““The next year, as I was still scribbling (乱写) my own stories, my English teacher, Mrs. Jacobson, introduced me to the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.

We knew she was a teacher, but we had no idea what kind of teacher she had been. She was just 24 when she taught Pierce. Until 2011, when she passed away, we did know who she was.(这个故事让我对妈妈有了不同的看法。我们知道她是个老师，但我们不知道她是什么样的老师。她教皮尔斯的时候才24岁。直到2011年她去世，我们才知道她是谁)”结合文章讲述了作者的母亲是一名老师，但是她曾经教过的一个学生成为了著名的作家，学生表达了对老师的感谢。可知，A选项“一个普通的老师塑造了一个著名的作家”最符合文章标题。故选A。 （三） （23-24高二上·浙江绍兴·期末）It is difficult to name a female architect more iconic than Zaha Hadid, whose name can be translated from Arabic as glorious. She passed away five years ago at the age of 65, but the impact she has left on the world of architecture is profound. Hadid was born into an upper-class Iraqi family in 1950. At the very beginning, she wanted to become a mathematician and studied science at the American University of Beirut, But at some point she realized that she preferred shapes to numbers. And she turned her concentration to architecture and went to London where she met the famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. “There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?” Hadid once said. Despite her abundance of amazing ideas, before the beginning of the 90s, not a single building based on her blueprints had been built. Her highly expressive style, while initially criticized and believed to be crazy, is now regarded as pioneering work. Her striking contemporary architecture, inspired by natural landforms, has graced the skylines of major metropolitan cities. “Women are always being told, ‘you’re not going to make it; It’s too difficult. You can’t do that Don’t enter this competition; You’ll never win it’,” Hadid said. “They need confidence in themselves and people around them for support.” Never one to be boxed in by conventions, Hadid proved society wrong. She received her first prize, the “Gold Medal Architectural Design” for her British Architecture in 1982. From then on, the awards kept rolling in. But the true triumph for Hadid came in 2004. Her project for the London Olympics Aquatic Center won her the Pritzker Architecture Prize. She became the first woman and first Muslim to earn the award, making a name for herself and paving the way for female architects. Hadid’s genius lives on in the array of many other spectacular buildings she has left behind in the world. Among them are the Guangzhou Opera House, the Beijing Daxing International Airport, as well as the Al Wakrah Stadium in Qatar where the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held. Hadid may be gone, but her global influence on a new generation of female architects is here to stay. 9．What made Hadid quit science to learn architecture? A．Her talent in architecture. B．Her interest in architecture. C．Her difficulty in learning science. D．Her encounter with Rem Koolhaas. 10．What can we learn about Hadid’s works? A．Her architecture was inspired by mathematics B．Her British Architecture won her the Pritzker Architecture Prize. C．Her architecture style was too bold to be accepted at the very beginning. D．Her works can only be found in European countries and the Middle East. 11．What does paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The talk between Hadid and her colleague. B．The reason why women fail to be architects. C．The prejudice from society against women. D．The difficulty Hadid faced being an architect. 12．What is the most profound impact Hadid has left on the world? A．She formed a unique style. B．She broke away from the convention. C．She received various architecture awards D．She encouraged other women architects. 【答案】9．B 10．C 11．C 12．D 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了已故女性建筑师哈·哈迪德(Zaha Hadid)的生平，作品及伟大的影响。 9．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But at some point she realized that she preferred shapes to numbers. And she turned her concentration to architecture and went to London where she met the famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas.(但在某种程度上，她意识到自己更喜欢形状而不是数字。她把注意力转向了建筑，并去了伦敦，在那里她遇到了著名的荷兰建筑师雷姆·库哈斯)”可知，Hadid放弃科学学习建筑是由于她发现自己对建筑感兴趣。故选B。 10．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Despite her abundance of amazing ideas, before the beginning of the 90s, not a single building based on her blueprints had been built. Her highly expressive style, while initially criticized and believed to be crazy, is now regarded as pioneering work.(尽管她有很多令人惊叹的想法，但在90年代初之前，没有一座建筑是根据她的蓝图建造的。她高度表达的风格，虽然最初被批评和认为是疯狂的，现在被认为是开创性的工作)”可知，Hadid的作品在一开始由于风格过于大胆，让人难以接受。故选C。 11．主旨大意题。根据文章第四段““Women are always being told, ‘you’re not going to make it; It’s too difficult. You can’t do that Don’t enter this competition; You’ll never win it’,” Hadid said. “They need confidence in themselves and people around them for support.”(“女性总是被告知，‘你不会成功的；太难了。你不能那样做，不要参加这个比赛；你永远也赢不了。”哈迪德说。“她们需要对自己和周围的人有信心，以获得支持。”)”可知，这一段主要讲述了社会对妇女的偏见。故选C。 12．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“She became the first woman and first Muslim to earn the award, making a name for herself and paving the way for female architects.(她成为第一位获得该奖项的女性和第一位穆斯林，为自己赢得了声誉，并为女性建筑师铺平了道路)”及最后一段“Hadid may be gone, but her global influence on a new generation of female architects is here to stay.(哈迪德可能已经离开了，但她对新一代女性建筑师的全球影响力将继续存在)”可推知，Hadid留下的最深远的影响在于她的故事鼓励了其他女性建筑师追求自己的梦想。故选D。 （四） （23-24高二上·安徽宣城·期末）Torbjorn Pedersen is a Danish traveler who recently finished a trip around the world. But this wasn’t just any trip. In 2013, Mr. Pedersen read an article about someone who had visited all the countries of the world. It made him realize he could set a record by doing the same thing, but without flying. He hoped that he could live on a budget of about $20 a day. He had originally anticipated it would take four years to reach countries, but the world had other plans. Though he did have to quit his job and leave his parents and girlfriend behind, the first part of his trip was pretty easy, but as he moved on to other parts of the world, things began to get hard. To cross large bodies of water, Mr. Pedersen took boats. Sometimes it was hard to find a boat. At other times, Mr. Pedersen was on a boat for days, being tossed (摇摆颠簸) by strong waves during a storm. He traveled by taxi, bus, train, and even walking. With a limited budget, sometimes people invited him into their homes. At other times, he had to sleep outside. Mr. Pedersen says he had many difficult experiences. He was once held at gunpoint and thought he might be killed. He also became severely ill with a serious disease. But he also had many good experiences. Mr. Pedersen says that one reason why he didn’t give up was the help he got from people all over the world. On July 26, Mr. Pedersen arrived back in Denmark after a 33-day boat ride. He was met by about 150 people, including friends and family members. In the last 10 years, he’s covered around 260,000 miles — roughly 10 times the distance around the Earth. Mr. Pedersen says he’s looking forward to some quiet time to think about his trip. After that, he plans to write a book and share what he learned in his travels around the world. 13．What inspired Torbjorn Pedersen to start the trip around the world? A．The dream of setting a world record. B．The knowledge of a stranger’s experience. C．The desire to experience different cultures. D．The encouragement of his parents and girlfriend. 14．How can we understand the underlined sentence in paragraph 3? A．He failed to carry out his plan. B．He finished his trip smoothly as expected. C．He spent more than four years travelling around the world. D．He changed his plans over the course of the trip intentionally. 15．What’s the main idea of the fifth paragraph? A．The help Mr. Pedersen got from others. B．The challenges Mr. Pedersen met on the way. C．The efforts Mr. Pedersen made to achieve his goal. D．The inconvenient transportation Mr. Pedersen underwent. 16．Which of the following words can best describe Mr. Pedersen? A．Courageous and determined. B．Ambitious and helpful. C．Sincere and independent. D．Amusing and strong-willed. 【答案】13．B 14．C 15．B 16．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了丹麦旅行者Torbjorn Pedersen花了四年多的时间完成了一次环球旅行。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2013, Mr. Pedersen read an article about someone who had visited all the countries of the world. It made him realize he could set a record by doing the same thing, but without flying.(2013年，Pedersen读到一篇文章，讲的是一个去过世界上所有国家的人。这让他意识到他可以通过做同样的事情来创造一项记录，但不需要飞行)”可知，了解陌生人的经历激发了Torbjorn Pedersen开始环球旅行。故选B。 14．句意猜测题。根据第四段“Though he did have to quit his job and leave his parents and girlfriend behind, the first part of his trip was pretty easy, but as he moved on to other parts of the world, things began to get hard.(虽然他不得不辞去工作，离开父母和女朋友，但他旅行的第一部分相当轻松，但当他前往世界其他地方时，事情开始变得困难起来)”可知，后文提到他前往世界其他地方遇到了困难，说明四年时间环游世界并不够，他花了超过四年的时间来完成。故划线句意思是“他花了四年多的时间环游世界”。故选C。 15．主旨大意题。根据第五段“To cross large bodies of water, Mr. Pedersen took boats.

I, like many of them, volunteer some of my time in order to give back just a little of what I am so blessed to have. I volunteered to go to Guatemala with an eyeglass team from International Relief Teams — an organization I have supported in other ways for many years. Our team went to a small town in Guatemala, San Augustin. We set up our tables and packages of pre-made glasses in the dirty courtyard of a clinic, put up the Snellen chart (an eye chart) on a wall, and began our work. Young and old people came from many of the surrounding towns. Most had never received an eye exam before. They waited for hours patiently in the sun, never complaining. If we could help them out, their thankfulness for a simple pair of glasses was overwhelming. Some only left with eye drops or sunglasses, and even these people expressed their gratitude sincerely. All of them were very generous with blessings and smiles. We heard over and over from people who knew their eyes needed help but they had not gone to a doctor because it was too expensive, or had not got the glasses they needed for the same reason. It’s so easy to overlook how much difference the volunteers’ small actions can make to the lives of people in Guatemala. The glasses in my country are so easily available, but to people in Guatemala, they are not. As those who could give them a hand, we watched their lives change. What a gift sight is — and what a difference being able to see clearly makes! Here, we’d like you to join us and take action to help people in need. And every day, those actions change lives. No action is too small; no action is ever wasted. 17．According to Paragraph 1, the author is probably ________. A．a major host of good deeds B．a sponsor of an eyeglass team C．a generous neighbor in his community D．a supporter of International Relief Teams 18．What do we know about the volunteers in the eyeglass team? A．Their working environment is simple. B．They are medical experts nationwide. C．Their initial preparation is inadequate. D．They have served people in Guatemala for years. 19．Which of the following words can be used to describe most people in Guatemala? A．Kind and helpful. B．Poor but grateful. C．Considerate and patient. D．Knowledgeable but unhealthy. 20．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To urge people to protect their eyes. B．To ask people to volunteer in Guatemala. C．To call on people to do good deeds in daily life. D．To show the difficult life of people in Guatemala. 【答案】17．D 18．A 19．B 20．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者志愿加入国际救援小组的眼镜队，团结队友去帮助别人，为世界贡献出自己的一份力量并号召人们在日常生活中也做好事。 17．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I volunteered to go to Guatemala with an eyeglass team from International Relief Teams-an organization I have supported in other ways for many years.(我自愿和国际救援队的眼镜队一起去危地马拉，多年来我一直以其他方式支持这个组织)”可知，作者是国际救援队的支持者。故选D。 18．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We set up our tables and packages of pre-made glasses in the dirty courtyard of a clinic, put up the Snellen chart (an eye chart) on a wall, and began our work.(我们在一家诊所脏兮兮的院子里摆好桌子和一包事先准备好的眼镜，把斯内伦图（一个视力检查表）挂在墙上，开始工作)”可推断出，眼镜队志愿者的工作环境很简陋。故选A。 19．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Some only left with eye drops or sunglasses, and even these people expressed their gratitude sincerely.(有些人只留下了眼药水或太阳镜，甚至这些人也真诚地表达了他们的感激之情)”和“We heard over and over from people who knew their eyes needed help but they had not gone to a doctor because it was too expensive, or had not got the glasses they needed for the same reason.(我们一遍又一遍地从那些知道眼睛需要帮助的人那里听到消息，但他们没有去看医生，因为太贵了，或者因为同样的原因没有得到他们需要的眼镜)”可推断出，Guatemala的人虽贫穷但很感恩。故选B。 20．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Here, we’d like you to join us and take action to help people in need.(在这里，我们希望你加入我们，采取行动帮助有需要的人)”可推断出，作者写这篇文章的目的是号召人们在日常生活中做好事。故选C。 （六） （23-24高二上·江西上饶·期末）My 83-year-old mother came to live with me a year ago last November. She was very ill and I had to put my life on hold to care for her. Each morning, I got her up and dressed her and made her breakfast and sat with her. I rushed for a bowl when she felt sick, and lit fires to keep her warm. I cooked and talked her into eating some. It’s a hard job caring for a sick or dying parent, whoever you are. But it was especially hard for me, I feel, because I am a doctor myself. I couldn’t help looking at her in two different ways. The medical professional saw a body and checked it with the cold heart that medicine requires. But the daughter saw the woman who had given birth to me, sent me off to college and had been an important role for a long time in my life for over half a century. Also, my mother didn’t appreciate how hard it was for me to care for her. I remember an exchange between her and the nurse who came to see her once a week. “You could get some more help with care.” “Oh, I don’t think I need that,” Mom said. Mom didn’t understand that the help would have taken some of the hard work off me. None of the treatments her doctors gave her worked, and finally her life became about free of pain. She refused painkillers (止痛药) for a long time, but finally the pain beat her. And when she accepted painkillers she accepted the fact that she would die. Illness and needs took us across personal boundaries (边界) I’d never considered before. And yet, while living and being and dying with Mom I saw something valuable coming. We became closer. We shared so many stories from our past that it was as if our memories had become one. In the past our relationship had been difficult. We had often argued. But when the end came, both of us simply accepted that we looked at the world in different ways. We were daughter and mother and we loved each other. That was all that mattered. 21．Why was taking care of her mom especially hard for the writer? A．She was too busy living her own life. B．She and her mom had a difficult relationship. C．She was too old to look after her mom carefully. D．She regarded her mom both as a patient and a loved one. 22．When the writer heard the conversation between her mom and the nurse, ______. A．she felt very upset. B．she was surprised. C．she showed her thanks to the nurse. D．she thought she needed a more helpful nurse. 23．We can infer from the passage that ______. A．the writer’s mom was a kind and gentle woman. B．it was easier for the writer to take care of her mom as a doctor. C．the writer was getting on better with her mom while taking care of her. D．the writer’s mom had difficulty understanding what the nurse said. 24．What did the writer learn from the experience of looking after her sick mother? A．Love was more important than differences. B．Being alive was the most important thing. C．We should learn to understand other people. D．It was better for family members to live their own. 【答案】21．D 22．A 23．C 24．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己照顾病重的母亲，虽然过程很辛苦，但也感谢这段时间让自己和母亲更亲密。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s a hard job caring for a sick or dying parent, whoever you are. But it was especially hard for me, I feel, because I am a doctor myself. I couldn’t help looking at her in two different ways.(不管你是谁，照顾一个生病或即将老去的父母都是一项艰难的工作。但我觉得这对我来说尤其困难，因为我自己也是一名医生。我忍不住用两种不同的眼光看着她)”可知，对作者而言，照顾妈妈特别难是因为妈妈既是病人又是自己爱的人。故选D。 22．推理判断题。根据第三段“Also, my mother didn’t appreciate how hard it was for me to care for her.(而且，我妈妈也没有意识到我照顾她有多难)”及第五段“Mom didn’t understand that the help would have taken some of the hard work off me.(妈妈不明白帮忙会让我少做一些辛苦的工作)”可推知，妈妈拒绝了护士给她用止疼药，作者听到妈妈和护士的对话后，感到沮丧。故选A。 23．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“And yet, while living and being and dying with Mom I saw something valuable coming. We became closer.(然而，当我和妈妈一起生活、一起等待死的时候，我看到了一些有价值的东西。我们变得更亲密了)”可推知，这位作家在照顾她妈妈的同时和她相处得更好了。故选C。 24．细节理解题。根据最后一段“In the past our relationship had been difficult. We had often argued. But when the end came, both of us simply accepted that we looked at the world in different ways. We were daughter and mother and we loved each other. That was all that mattered.(过去我们的关系一直很艰难。我们经常争吵。但当末日来临的时候，我们都接受了我们看待世界的方式不同的事实。我们是母女，我们彼此相爱。这才是最重要的)”可知，爱比差异更重要。故选A。 （七） （23-24高二上·山东青岛·期末）The area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12,2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home. But the ash didn’t stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks (砖) a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities. “What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let’s transform this into opportunity.” The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit. 25．What can be learned about Taal Volcano? A．It attracts more and more settlers. B．It becomes inactive.

However, Shen’s decision to dive into the unpredictable world of full-time video blogging after graduating in 2019, with a focus on the popular game League of Legends (LOL), raised eyebrows. Initially, Shen’s family supported his career choice, but when he struggled to make ends meet within the first year, they began to advise him to seek a more secure job. But Shen remained determined and persisted with his chosen path. A turning point in Shen’s career occurred at the start of this year when he posted a seemingly odd video, replacing the D and F keys on a keyboard, crucial for in-game character actions, with a foot pedal. Describing it as a “pointless invention” created for fun, Shen admitted that the video initially received limited attention. But a message from a viewer who had lost an arm in a car accident changed everything. The viewer, who relied on one hand to play games, sought guidance on creating a similar foot pedal. “I hadn’t realized that there would be disabled players in need of this kind of pedal,” Shen said. Despite his limited knowledge of circuit-building, he managed to produce 10 different foot pedals and traveled to Chongqing to personally assist the player in installation(安装), gaining valuable feedback. “Due to physical limitations, this player could only operate two simple game characters,” Shen explained. However, with this device, which allows the player to pedal with his foot, he can now play games like a regular person using a keyboard. Recognizing the diverse needs of disabled players nationwide, Shen started providing free assistance in making these pedals. The continuous feedback within the community encouraged Shen to improve his inventions constantly. Shen’s videos recording his experiences touched many internet users, earning him the title of the true “legend” of LOL. “I’m honored to receive this praise. But the real legends were the audience whose support had made the needs of disabled players easier to understand,” he said. 29．What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A．Shen’s career was thought to be promising. B．Shen’s difficulties didn’t defeat him. C．Shen’s family were always for his choice. D．Shen’s job focused on developing games. 30．The viewer’s message made Shen realize that _________. A．there was some use for the foot pedal B．different foot pedals should be created C．he helped the disabled use pedals D．he needed to accept others’ feedback 31．Which of the following best describes Shen? A．Modest and honest. B．Determined and creative. C．Helpful and brave. D．Kind and humorous. 32．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Usefulness of “Uselessness” B．Blogs of a blogger C．Possibility of the Disabled D．Knowing of “Unknowns” 【答案】29．B 30．A 31．B 32．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了来自山东的游戏博主沈悦为了好玩而设计了一个代替键盘按键的脚踏板，然而这个“无用的发明”却帮助了残疾玩家。 29．推理判断题。根据第二段“Initially, Shen’s family supported his career choice, but when he struggled to make ends meet within the first year, they began to advise him to seek a more secure job. But Shen remained determined and persisted with his chosen path. (起初，沈的家人支持他的职业选择，但当他在第一年内入不敷出时，他们开始建议他找一份更有保障的工作。但是沈仍然坚持自己选择的道路。)”可知，当沈悦面对入不敷出的困境时，他并没有听从家人的建议去换工作，而是坚持自己的选择，由此可推测出，他并没有被困难打倒。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But a message from a viewer who had lost an arm in a car accident changed everything. The viewer, who relied on one hand to play games, sought guidance on creating a similar foot pedal. “I hadn’t realized that there would be disabled players in need of this kind of pedal,” Shen said. (但一位在车祸中失去一只手臂的观众发来的信息改变了一切。这位观众依靠一只手玩游戏，寻求制作类似脚踏板的指导。“我没有意识到会有残疾玩家需要这种踏板，”沈说。)”可知，这位失去一只手臂的观众给沈悦发来求助信息，沈悦意识到原来会有残疾玩家需要这种踏板，由此可推测出，沈悦意识到这种脚踏板有一定用处。故选A。 31．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But Shen remained determined and persisted with his chosen path. (但是沈仍然坚持自己选择的道路。)”可知，当面临困难时，沈悦依然坚持自己的选择，由此可推测出，他是一个有决心的（determined）人。根据第三段中的“A turning point in Shen’s career occurred at the start of this year when he posted a seemingly odd video, replacing the D and F keys on a keyboard, crucial for in-game character actions, with a foot pedal.

Loud noises from hair dryers and strong smells can trigger a person with autism (自闭症), and just getting in the door can be tough for anyone in a wheelchair. But one Minnesota stylist is looking to change that by opening an accessible salon. With a nine-year-old stepdaughter, Maddy, who uses a wheelchair because of spina-bifida (脊柱裂), Cat Rongitsch knows firsthand how inaccessible spaces like hair salons can be. “We’ve been dragged through back doors or expected to carry her down stairs or use freight elevators because they’re not prepared to accommodate her,” says Rongitsch, who also has a three-year-old daughter who might have high-functioning autism, though she hasn’t been tested yet. Rongitsch already makes haircut house calls to kids who find traditional salons stressful. “Everyone is desperate for a safe place that will not be a crazy meltdown experience, and oftentimes that means calling down to someone’s house,” she says. “Going anywhere else seems unimaginable.” But Rongitsch dreams of a place where anyone can feel safe and comfortable getting a haircut outside the home. Rongitsch is making plans to open Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota. The doors and walkways would have plenty of room for wheelchairs, and textured floors would make it easy for visually impaired people to navigate. A spa-like atmosphere at Dignified Beauty would be less triggering to people with autism. Loud top-40 hits would be replaced with soft classical music (if anything). Stylists would use quiet hair dryers and soft voices. Fidget toys (解压玩具) and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm. Safe spaces would be available if anyone felt overwhelmed by sound, smell, or touch. As for the staff, Rongitsch would look to hire people with “a heart full of love for each individual,” she says. Stylists would learn how to handle customers who don’t like others touching their hair. They would also give every client the same level of dignity, which is particularly important to Rongitsch, who’s seen strangers ignore Maddy. “They’re not sure if it’s a physical disability or mental disability loo, so they will talk to me and not her,” says Rongitsch. “That issue is the biggest with her: just being acknowledged as a person.” 33．What can we know about Rongitsch from the first 3 paragraphs? A．She has a nine-year-old daughter who uses a wheelchair. B．She sometimes calls on at someone’s house to make haircuts. C．She owns an available Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota. D．Her daughter has been diagnosed with high-functioning autism. 34．What service can people with autism enjoy at Dignified Beauty? A．Passionate music. B．Devices for relieving stress. C．Immoderate equipment. D．Thrilling movies with tense plots. 35．Which of the following best describes Rongitsch? A．Positive and selfless. B．Elegant and ambitious. C．Optimistic and devoted. D．Considerate and insightful. 36．What can be the suitable title for the text? A．Rongitsch — A Kindhearted Stylist with Love for Individual B．People with Disabilities Deserve Dignity as Healthy People C．A Salon Accessible to People with Disabilities to Be Opened by a Woman D．Rongitsch and Her disabled Daughters Long for Being Acknowledged as a Person 【答案】33．B 34．B 35．D 36．C 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了明尼苏达州的发型师Rongitsch正在计划开一家理发店，给自闭症患者和身体残疾者提供一个舒适的理发环境和服务。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Rongitsch already makes haircut house calls to kids who find traditional salons stressful.(Rongitsch已经打电话给那些传统沙龙有压力的孩子，要求给他们上门理发。)”和第一段最后一句“But one Minnesota stylist is looking to change that by opening an accessible salon.(但明尼苏达州的一位造型师希望通过开设一家无障碍沙龙来改变这一现状)”可知，Rongitsch的职业是造型师，故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Fidget toys (解压玩具) and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm.(解压玩具和毯子随时可以帮助人们保持冷静。)”可知，在Dignified Beauty理发沙龙，患者可以使用一些设备来舒缓情绪。故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据整篇文章信息，尤其是第一段中“But one Minnesota stylist is looking to change that by opening an accessible salon.(但明尼苏达州的一位造型师希望通过开设一家无障碍沙龙来改变这一现状)”，倒数第三段“Rongitsch is making plans to open Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota. The doors and walkways would have plenty of room for wheelchairs, and textured floors would make it easy for visually impaired people to navigate.(Rongitsch正计划在明尼苏达州圣保罗开设Dignified Beauty。门和走道将有足够的空间容纳轮椅，带纹理的地板将使视障人士轻松通行。)”和倒数第二段中“A spa-like atmosphere at Dignified Beauty would be less triggering to people with autism. Loud top-40 hits would be replaced with soft classical music (if anything). Stylists would use quiet hair dryers and soft voices. Fidget toys (解压玩具) and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm. Safe spaces would be available if anyone felt overwhelmed by sound, smell, or touch.(Dignified Beauty类似水疗中心的氛围不会太刺激自闭症患者。响亮的前40名热门歌曲将被柔和的古典音乐（如果有的话）取代。造型师会使用安静的吹风机和柔和的声音。解压玩具和毯子随时可以帮助人们保持冷静。如果有人感到被声音、气味或触摸淹没，可以使用安全空间。)”可知，Rongitsch考虑到理发店的门和通道要有足够的空间让轮椅通过，所以创办了理发沙龙，并在该沙龙使用纹理地板、古典轻音乐、无声吹风机等，让患者得到安慰。总结可知，Rongitsch是一个考虑周到、有洞察力的人。故选D。 36．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中“Loud noises from hair dryers and strong smells can trigger a person with autism (自闭症), and just getting in the door can be tough for anyone in a wheelchair. But one Minnesota stylist is looking to change that by opening an accessible salon.(吹风机发出的巨大噪音和强烈的气味可能会触发自闭症患者，而对于坐轮椅的人来说，进门可能会很困难。但明尼苏达州的一位造型师希望通过开设一家无障碍沙龙来改变这一现状)”和第二段“With a nine-year-old stepdaughter, Maddy, who uses a wheelchair because of spina-bifida (脊柱裂), Cat Rongitsch knows firsthand how inaccessible spaces like hair salons can be. “We’ve been dragged through back doors or expected to carry her down stairs or use freight elevators because they’re not prepared to accommodate her,” says Rongitsch, who also has a three-year-old daughter who might have high-functioning autism, though she hasn’t been tested yet.(有一个九岁的继女Maddy，她因脊柱裂而坐轮椅(脊柱裂), Cat Rongitch亲身体验了美发沙龙等难以进入的空间。“我们被拖过后门，或者被要求把她抬下楼梯或使用货运电梯，因为他们不准备容纳她，”Rongitch说，她还有一个三岁的女儿，可能患有高功能自闭症，尽管她还没有接受检测。)”可知，本文主要讲述Rongitsch致力于开办一个新的理发沙龙，为自闭症患者和其它残障人员提供便利，C项“由一位女性开设的残疾人士沙龙”适合作文章标题。故选C。 （十） （23-24高二上·湖南株洲·期末）In 2015, Chennai was destroyed by one of the worst floods in over a century, leaving thousands without food, water and supplies. During the flood, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santosh, a young man who owned a take-out restaurant in Chennai. When the first flood hit in November, he got a call from a company called Naga Rava. The company asked him to prepare 5,000 packets of food and give them to the flood victims. He, with his partners, took the order, cooked for 14 hours and delivered them. But that night, as they sat together discussing the event of the day, they actually felt ashamed. “Here was a man not even from Chennai and he was going out of his way to help the affected people. We, while living here, had not really done anything ourselves for our own people,” said Santosh later. He then began the groundwork for a collection to help cook more dishes. Little did he know that the November flood was just the beginning, and the real show was about to begin. The December flood affected them all. His own house got flooded and his family was trapped on the second floor. They lost phone connection and electricity. In spite of this, Santosh went back out into the flood, creating a kitchen and preparing food all by himself for the victims. He did not sleep for four days, taking a one-hour break everyday as he kept on cooking. As word got out about this man’s effort, others stepped out to join him. From children to the elderly, strangers came to help him in cooking, packing and transporting food. Up to 300 volunteers worked together to make it all happen. By the time the fourth day finally came to an end, Santosh and his team had prepared 170,000 food boxes and delivered them to people in need. 37．What inspired Santosh to help the affected people?

We, while living here, had not really done anything ourselves for our own people,” said Santosh later.”（“这是一个甚至不是金奈人的人，他正在竭尽全力帮助受灾人民。我们住在这里的时候，并没有真正为自己的人民做过什么。”桑托什后来说。）可知，是一个陌生人的善举激励桑托什帮助灾民。故选C项。 38．词义猜测题。根据第三段“Little did he know that the November flood was just the beginning, and the real show was about to begin. The December flood affected them all.”（他一点也不知道，11月的洪水只是一个开始，真正的好戏即将开始。12月的洪水影响了他们所有人。）可知，12月的洪水比11月造成的后果严重，所以推断出“the real show”指的是12月更严重的洪水。故选C项。 39．推理判断题。根据第三段“His own house got flooded and his family was trapped on the second floor. They lost phone connection and electricity. In spite of this, Santosh went back out into the flood, creating a kitchen and preparing food all by himself for the victims.”（他自己的房子被淹了，他的家人被困在二楼。他们失去了电话和电力。尽管如此，桑托什还是回到了洪水中，造了一个厨房，自己为受害者准备食物。）可知，桑托什在自己家遭受灾难的同时还在想尽办法帮助别人，说明他是无私和关爱他人的。故选B项。 40．主旨大意题。根据第一段“During the flood, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santosh, a young man who owned a take-out restaurant in Chennai.”（洪水期间出现了许多英雄，其中之一是在金奈开了一家外卖餐馆的年轻人桑托什。）及最后一段“By the time the fourth day finally came to an end, Santosh and his team had prepared 170,000 food boxes and delivered them to people in need.”（到第四天终于结束的时候，桑托什和他的团队已经准备了17万个食品盒，并把它们送到了有需要的人手中。）可知，本文主要讲述了在洪水期间桑托什和他的团队准备了17万份盒饭发放到有需要的人们手中的故事。故选A项。 （十一） （23-24高二上·广东广州·期末）Growing up on a farm in Virginia during racial segregation (种族隔离) , West knew education would be her means of escape. But she didn’t know her quiet work would change lives around the world. Gladys West knew from a young age that she didn’t want to be a farmer. But the mathematician, born in 1930 in a county, still had to help harvest crops on her family’s small farm. The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. She hated the dirt but, while she worked, she kept her mind on the building behind the trees at the end of the farm. It was her school, and even then she knew it would be her ticket to freedom. “I was gonna get an education and I was going to get out of there. I wasn’t going to be stuck there all my life,” West, 89, says firmly. Gladys West began her career as a mathematician in 1956 in a lab where there were only three other black employees when she joined. She was widely admired for her ability to solve complex mathematical problems by hand. She eventually went on to program computers to solve the equations (等式) for her. Her first major project was to determine the movements of Neptune and Pluto in relation to each other. In 1978, Gladys became the Project Manager of SeaSat, an surveillance (监控) satellite designed to provide data on oceanographic features and conditions. The project was among the first to show that satellites can be used to observe oceanographic data. By programming a computer to account for tides, gravity, and other factors, Gladys and her team created a program to precisely calculate the orbit of satellites. Her work on this project made it possible to develop a geoid, which is a model of the shape of the Earth. The model and its later updates led to her developing the GPS system, which can make accurate calculations in any location on Earth. Finally in 2018, through her tireless efforts, Gladys West received formal recognition for her work on the GPS. Her name also got featured on the BBC’s 100 Women of 2018, which honored inspiring women from around the globe. 41．What can we learn in paragraph 2? A．Gladys became a mathematician when working as a farmer. B．Gladys had to raise her family by working hard on the farm. C．Gladys was eager to get out of the poor situation for freedom.
