(2024·云南省昆明八中高二期末)
“I have travelled the world for 25 years in search of trouble,” admits Dr.David Nott in his recent autobiography,War Doctor:Surgery on the Front Line.“It is a kind of addiction,a pull I find hard to resist.” This pull has seen him use his surgical skills to help those in need by taking unpaid,monthlong breaks from his “day job” as an NHS surgeon in the UK every year to work in conflict zones and disaster areas.
He first worked in Sarajevo in 1993 as a volunteer with the French charity Médecins Sans Froatières.The hospital he worked in had so many holes in its walls caused by bombing and sniper (狙击手) fire that it was called the “Swiss Cheese Hospital”.It was his first insight into the terrifying reality of treating patients in a war zone.The hospital suffered power cuts during operations and he and his team were regularly shot at.
But Nott found this exhilarating.“Going to Sarajevo,almost getting killed,I had never felt so wonderful.I really felt as though somebody had injected me with something.I felt fantastic.I think to skirt death—and then to realize how close you are to death and that you survived it—is exciting.And that's the experience I've had many times over.”
This attitude may seem reckless (鲁莽的),but it means that Nott has saved lives in desperate situations.In Gaza in 2014,he decided not to abandon a young girl in the middle of surgery despite being told that the hospital was about to be bombed.He carried on,no bombs fell and the girl survived.He has kept a photograph of them taken together three days later.In Yemen,he operated on the wife of a bombmaker who had accidentally blown up his own house.Nott found a detonator (雷管) buried in her leg and had to carefully dispose of it before continuing the operation.

(2024·重庆南开中学高二检测)
Life can be so wonderful,full of adventure and joy.It can also be full of challenges,setbacks (挫折) and heartbreaks.Whatever our circumstances,we generally still have dreams,hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem,because when we go to change the way we do things,up come the old patterns and pitfalls (陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.
This tension between what we feel we can have and what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling (烦人的) suffering,the anxiety we feel.This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up.But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more.The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us.It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities.If you drop that,you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because you're dropping “you”.
So,if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck,how do we break these patterns?
Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.
While,deep down,we know we can do it,our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't.That isn't a reason to stop,it's just the mind,that little man or woman on your shoulder,trying to talk you out of something again.It has done it many times before.It's all about starting simple and doing it now.
Decide and act before overthinking.When you do this you may feel a little,or large,release_from_the_jail_of_your_mind and you'll be on your way.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章旨在告诉我们在生活中遇到一些挑战与挫折时,我们应该如何做才能打破束缚我们的模式,战胜挑战。
5.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.
A.slow down and live a simple life
B.be careful when we choose to change
C.stick to our dreams under any circumstances
D.be content with what we already have
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Whatever our circumstances,we generally still have dreams,hopes and desires ...our loved ones.”和第二段中的“It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities.If you drop that,you begin to feel a little ‘dead’ inside because you're dropping ‘you’.”可推知,作者在这两段里主要是建议我们无论在什么情况下都要坚持自己的梦想,故选C项。
6.What is the key to breaking the old patterns?
A.To focus on every detail.
B.To decide and take immediate action.
C.To listen to those close to us.
D.To think twice before we act.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.”和第五段中的“It's all about starting simple and doing it now.”可知,打破旧模式的方法是做决定和立即采取行动。故选B项。
7.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A.Escape from your punishment.
B.Realization of your dreams.
C.Freedom from your tension.
D.Reduction of your expectations.
答案:C
解析:句意理解题。根据第二段第一句以及最后一段中的“Decide and act before overthinking.When you do this you may feel a little,or large,release from the jail of your mind”可知,当你这样做的时候,很可能会觉得有一点,或者很大程度上,从你思想的牢笼中释放出来。故画线句指的是从紧张关系中释放出来。故选C项。
8.What does the author intend to tell us?
A.It's easier than we think to get what we want.
B.It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.
C.It's impractical to change our way of thinking.
D.It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者在文中一直建议我们行动前不要犹豫不决,要打破思想束缚。只要我们觉得时机成熟就要果断地采取行动,这样我们才能战胜挑战,得到我们想要的。由此可知,其实得到我们想要的东西,并没有我们想得那么难,故选A项。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
On any given day,many of us wrestle with our fears.We might be considering changing a job,telling someone we love them or wanting to speak up for what's right when we see injustice (不公正).__1__ Or it says that we don't have the ability to create the life or world we want to have.The cycle often plays out in the same way.
So,what should we do?__2__ Instead,we can choose to accept fear as part of the process of change and practice courage.Though courage is often thought of as an inborn character,it's actually a practice that can be learned for dealing with difficulty.__3__Here are two useful tips for dealing with fear and moving closer to courage.
Listen without attachment.Many of us who are stuck in fear have an inner critic (批评家),constantly telling us we'll fail.Sometimes we adopt approaches to removing it.__4__However,if we can take time to listen to our inner critic without attachment—without the need to ignore or accept what it is saying—we're in a better position to learn from it.
__5__Creating courageous communities gives us the support to face challenges.Sometimes our stories get in our way,and we need people who are doing similar work to help us see where we're getting stuck or what we're truly good at.
A.Fear shows up in the body.
B.You'll be more likely to make the changes.
C.In other words,courage can become a habit.
D.Don't see fear as bad or try to remove it when it arises.
E.But a voice within us pipes up saying that there's no point.
F.While we can get temporary relief,they don't actually make the critic go away.
G.Surround yourself with likeminded people who also honor the values of courage.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何获取勇气来战胜内心的恐惧。
1.答案:E
解析:根据上文及空后“Or it says that we don't have the ability to create the life or world we want to have.”可知,本句为过渡句,与上文构成转折,指出我们想要为正义说话,但是内心的声音告诉我们这么做没有意义,故E项符合语境。故选E。
2.答案:D
解析:根据空后的“Instead,we can choose to accept fear as part of the process of change and practice courage.”可知,作者不赞成“把恐惧看成不好的事情并在它一出现时就消灭它”的做法,并给出了“接受恐惧并锻炼胆量”的建议。故D项符合语境。故选D。
3.答案:C
解析:根据空前“Though courage is often thought of as an inborn character,it's actually a practice that can be learned for dealing with difficulty”可知,尽管勇气常常被认为是一种天生的品质,但它实际上是一种可以用来对付困难的练习。C项承接上文,符合语境。故选C。
4.答案:F
解析:根据空前“Sometimes we adopt approaches to removing it.”可知,有时我们会采取一些方法来消除它,但作者认为这只是暂时的解脱,并不能真正地赶走这个批评家。F项符合语境。故选F。
5.答案:G
解析:根据本段内容可知,作者给出的建议是:和同样珍视勇气的人在一起;故G项“和志同道合的人在一起,他们也尊重勇气的价值。”符合语境。故选G。
