(杭州高一期中)Back in the day when I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life, I was studying to become a firefighter. As a firefighter, you're constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children. It's the mindset that is the most difficult part in this job!
One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito(墨西哥卷饼)place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.
I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the burrito joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the counter refused to let him in. After some arguing, I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over!
For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behavior. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn't experienced in a long time.
I often think about this story, because to me it's not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.
[语篇导读] 本文是一篇记叙文, 讲述了作者在街上遇到一个无家可归的人, 他不仅给了他食物, 还让他感受到了尊重和关爱。

(南京高一联考)Ben Francis didn't become wealthy through a family inheritance(遗产). Instead, the CEO and cofounder of Gymshark used his earnings as a Pizza Hut delivery guy to buy a sewing machine and start his fitness apparel(服饰)company at 19.
Eleven years later, his effort paid off. Francis, 30, who has a reported net worth of $1.3 billion, joined Forbes' billionaires list. He's in rare company: the list's average age is 65 years old.
Originally, Francis and cofounder Lewis Morgan launched Gymshark as a website selling fitness products. But after getting bored with his illfitting clothes, Francis suggested pivoting the company.
Francis and Morgan bought a sewing machine. The pair brought Gymshark to a bodybuilding exhibition in 2013, but didn't have any money to spend on advertising. On a whim(一时兴起), they decided to give popular fitness YouTubers free products. “My heroes were on YouTube,” Francis said. “So it would be so cool if my heroes could come to be with Gymshark at this event. I didn't really think that much about it.” Some of those influencers went on to wear the clothes on their channels, bringing Gymshark's sales to $45,000 per day, up from just $450.
Francis quit the CEO role in 2017. “CEO was not the right role for me when I was in my early 20s,” Francis said. “That I'd started a business which had grown very quickly didn't mean I have the full ability to be a good leader.” He spent the next four years supporting leadership roles within Gymshark—including chief product officer and chief marketing officer—to learn more about the ins and outs of the business, before returning as CEO in 2021.
That year, the company was valued at $1.45 billion. Still, the company's billiondollar valuation is a small percentage of the market value of competitors like Nike and Lululemon. “I really think Gymshark can be the UK's answer to those brands,” Francis said. “But that's not saying that the UK is where it starts and ends for us. We also want to be a truly global brand.”
[语篇导读] 本文是一篇记叙文, 主要讲的是Ben Francis是如何成为亿万富翁的。
8.What makes Ben Francis special on Forbes' billionaires list?
A.His age. B.His wealth.
C.His talent. D.His company.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段“Francis, 30, who has a reported net worth of $1.3 billion, joined Forbes' billionaires list. He's in rare company: the list's average age is 65 years old.(30岁的Francis以13亿美元的净资产跻身《福布斯》亿万富豪榜。他的情况很少见:上榜富豪的平均年龄为65岁。)”可知, 让Ben Francis在《福布斯》亿万富豪榜上显得特别的是他的年龄。故选A。
答案 A
9.What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Taking control of.
B.Making the best of.
C.Making changes to.
D.Attaching importance to.
解析 词句猜测题。根据第三段“after getting bored with his illfitting clothes(在厌倦了不合身的衣服之后)”可知, 在厌倦了不合身的衣服之后就该做出改变了。故选C。
答案 C
10.Why did Francis and Morgan offer popular fitness YouTubers free products?
A.To win the support of popular YouTubers.
B.To advertise their products in a cheap way.
C.To build a good relationship with YouTube.
D.To get the chance to meet their heroes on YouTube.
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段“Some of those influencers went on to wear the clothes on their channels, bringing Gymshark's sales to $45,000 per day, up from just $450.(其中一些有影响力的人继续在他们的频道上穿这些衣服, 使Gymshark的日销售额从450美元上升到4.5万美元。)”可知, Francis and Morgan为YouTube上的热门健身用户提供免费产品, 是因为以廉价的方式为他们的产品做广告。故选B。
答案 B
11.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.Gymshark: From a website to a big company
B.Gymshark: Taking the lead in fitness clothing
C.Francis: Starting the UK's fastestgrowing company
D.Francis: From a Pizza Hut delivery guy to a billionaire
解析 最佳标题题。通读全文, 尤其是第一段“Instead, the CEO and cofounder of Gymshark used his earnings as a Pizza Hut delivery guy to buy a sewing machine and start his fitness apparel(服饰)company at 19.(相反, 这位Gymshark公司的首席执行官兼联合创始人用自己在必胜客送外卖的收入买了一台缝纫机, 并在19岁时创办了自己的健身服装公司。)”可知, 本文主要讲的是Ben Francis是如何成为亿万富翁的, 因此最好的题目是D选项“Francis: From a Pizza Hut delivery guy to a billionaire(Francis:从必胜客送货员到亿万富翁)”。故选D。
答案 D

(赤峰高一期末)No matter how long it took, or how much birthday money he would have to save, the 6yearold South Carolina boy named Bell would spend his special day in “The Happiest Place On Earth”.
And, as local TV station reports, he was pretty close to realizing that dream, planning for a visit to Disney's Animal Kingdom just in time for his seventh birthday this month.
Then he heard the story of the hurricane:how it transformed the Bahamas into the unhappiest place on Earth—and how it continued to chum up(搅动)the East Coast, leaving tears in its wake.
How could Bell dream of Disney World when so many others were living a nightmare? So the boy gathered his savings—and went to the grocery store.Instead of a romp(嬉闹)in Disney's Animal Kingdom, Bell bought muchneeded food and water for thousands of people forced to leave their homes in advance of the storm.
“The people that are traveling to go to places, I wanted them to have some food to eat, so they can enjoy the ride to the place that they're going to stay at, ” Bell told a reporter.Indeed, Bell made it hard for anyone to miss his offer.He pulled a couple of homemade signs to Highway 125 in Allendale with the words “Free hot dogs and water” on them.And he stood at the side of that highway, calling out to motorists, many of them tired and traumatized after leaving their homes behind.In all, he served more than 100 evacuees(被撤离者).
“I am very proud, ” his grandmother Aretha Grant told CNN.“We knew Bell was very special, but we didn't know he was special in this way, to be such a giver like this.”
Indeed, at his little stand in Allendale, Bell is giving people something much more precious than hot dogs.He's offering hope—and along the way, the little boy with the big heart is making his own magic kingdom.

答案 D
14.Which of the following best explains “traumatized” underlined in paragraph 5?

解析 词义猜测题。根据第五段“after leaving their homes behind(许多人在离开家园后)”以及“many of them tired(他们中的许多人感到疲惫)”可知, 此处“traumatized”应为“tired”的同义词。由此推知, 此处是指他们中的许多人在离开家园后感到疲惫和精神创伤, 即画线词意为“悲伤的”, 与sorrowful同义。故选A。
答案 A
15.What can be inferred about Bell from the last paragraph?

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
(承德高一期末)The value of money is determined by the demand for it, just like the value of goods and services. You can measure the value of money by what people will exchange for it and by how much of it there is. 16
Foreign exchange rate. The first way to measure the value of the dollar is by how much the dollar will buy in foreign currencies. 17 Foreign exchange traders on the foreign exchange market determine exchange rates. They take into account supply and demand, and then they factor in their expectations for the future. For this reason, the value of money changes throughout the trading day.
18 The second method to measure the value of the dollar is the value of Treasury note. They can be converted easily into dollars through the secondary market for the Treasury note. When the demand for the Treasury note is high, the value of the US dollar rises.
Foreign exchange reserves. 19 That is the amount of dollars held by foreign governments. The more they hold, the lower the supply is. That makes US money more valuable. If foreign governments were to sell all their dollar and Treasury holdings, the dollar would collapse. US money would be worth a lot less.
Why does the dollar change in value? No matter how it's measured, the value of the dollar reduced from 2000 to 2011. That was due to a relatively low federal funds rate, a high federal debt, and a slowgrowing economy. Since 2011, the US dollar has risen in value despite these factors. Why? Most of the economies in the world had even slower growth. That made foreign exchange traders want to invest in the dollar as a safe haven. 20
A.Treasury note value.
B.Sales of the Treasury note.
C.That's what the foreign exchange rate measures.
D.Thus, the foreign exchange rate of the dollar rises.
E.The third way is through foreign exchange reserves.
F.The third way is through selling the foreign currencies.
G.There are three ways to measure the value of the dollar.
[语篇导读] 本文是说明文。文章介绍了三种衡量美元价值的方法。
16.解析 根据上文“The value of money is determined by the demand for it, just like the value of goods and services. You can measure the value of money by what people will exchange for it and by how much of it there is.(货币的价值是由对它的需求决定的, 就像商品和服务的价值一样。你可以通过人们愿意用什么来交换货币以及货币的数量来衡量货币的价值。)”以及后文主要说明了三种衡量美元价值的方法。G选项“有三种方法可以衡量美元的价值。”符合语境。故选G。
答案 G
17.解析 根据上文“Foreign exchange rate. The first way to measure the value of the dollar is by how much the dollar will buy in foreign currencies.(外汇汇率。衡量美元价值的第一种方法是看美元能买多少外币。)”可知, 本句主要对上文外汇汇率的标准进行下定义, C选项中foreign exchange rate对应上文Foreign exchange rate。C选项“这就是外汇汇率的衡量标准。”符合语境。故选C。
答案 C
18.解析 根据后文“The second method to measure the value of the dollar is the value of Treasury note. They can be converted easily into dollars through the secondary market for the Treasury note. When the demand for the Treasury note is high, the value of the US dollar rises.(第二种衡量美元价值的方法是国库券的价值。它们可以很容易地通过国债二级市场兑换成美元。当对美国国债的需求很高时, 美元的价值就会上升。)”可知, 本段介绍的第二种方法是国库券的价值, A选项中Treasury note value对应后文中the value of Treasury note。A选项“国库券的价值。”符合语境。故选A。
答案 A
19.解析 根据上文“Foreign exchange reserves.(外汇储备。)”以及后文“That is the amount of dollars held by foreign governments. The more they hold, the lower the supply is. That makes US money more valuable. If foreign governments were to sell all their dollar and Treasury holdings, the dollar would collapse. US money would be worth a lot less.(这是外国政府持有的美元数额。他们持有的越多, 供给就越低。这使得美元更有价值。如果外国政府抛售手中所有的美元和美国国债, 美元就会崩溃。美元的价值将大大降低。)”可知, 第三种方法与外汇储备有关, E选项“第三种方法是看外汇储备量。”符合语境。故选E。
答案 E
20.解析 根据上文“That made foreign exchange traders want to invest in the dollar as a safe haven.(这使得外汇交易员想要投资美元作为避风港。)”可知, 本句与上文构成因果关系, 指出上文的行为会让美元的汇率上升。D选项“因此, 美元的汇率会上升。”符合语境。故选D。
答案 D

[语篇导读] 这是一篇说明文。文章对商家各式各样的促销手段进行了介绍。
36.解析 考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,如果你是想买一件,那么多买一件来享受降价是没有意义的。根据“buying extra”和“from price reductions”可知,此处是指多买一件来享受降价,所以应用不定式作目的状语。故填to benefit。
答案 to benefit
37.解析 考查连词。句意:要么你买的东西太重,搬不回家,要么你买的东西还新鲜,就不能用了。either…or…意为“要么……要么……”,所以此处应用连词or。故填or。
答案 or
38.解析 考查定语从句。句意:当然,商店不是慈善机构——它们以最赚钱的方式给商品定价。在定语从句中缺少主语,且先行词为way,所以应用关系代词that或which。故填that或which。
答案 that/which
39.解析 考查名词性从句。句意:如果它们的大多数客户都乐意大量购买,那它们就会推广。在表语从句中缺少宾语,且指事物,所以应用连接代词what。故填what。
答案 what
40.解析 考查名词。句意:许多超市不再进行“买一送一”的促销活动,因为有这些活动会造成浪费这样的指责。根据“that they lead to waste”可知,此处应用名词criticism作同位语。故填criticism。
答案 criticism
41.解析 考查语态。句意:然而,虽然一包香肠能便宜几美分是件好事,但如果有时能以小包装出售,那就更好了。动词offer和主语构成被动关系,主语they代指前文中的sausages。在情态动词could后动词应用原形。故填be offered。
答案 be offered
42.解析 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的两年里,一些超市开始销售鸡肉或沙拉包装,设计成两半,拆分成两份。根据“Over the last two years”可知,此处应用现在完成时。故填have started。
答案 have started
43.解析 考查非谓语动词。句意:在过去的两年里,一些超市开始销售鸡肉或沙拉包装,设计成两半,拆分成两份。动词design和谓语之间没有连词,和逻辑主语packs构成被动关系,所以应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填designed。
答案 designed
44.解析 考查冠词。句意:然后,当你使用其中一部分时,另一部分保持新鲜。the other特指两者之中的另一个,为固定搭配。故填the。
答案 the
45.解析 考查代词。句意:谁知道呢,也许一些更有远见的人可能还会推出一系列“只为你”的包装尺寸,并提供特别优惠。代词one意为“一个人”,在some of后应用复数形式。故填ones。
答案 ones

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(邢台高一月考)When I was 8, my dad helped me buy me the first old bike from our neighbor.I earned $ 60 by cutting grass and sweeping the snow and my dad raised the other half.I would pay him back over the next six months.Although it wasn't in the latest style, it was my ticket to the adult world.
I spent that summer and autumn riding happily.My sister Liz never had a chance to have her own bike.We had older brothers and sisters, a few of whom had bad taste on bikes.Now, however, I was able to ride to every corner of the town, sometimes even as far as the beach.In those days before one gained a driver's license, owning a good bike was a proud thing.
Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit by several snowstorms.This allowed me to sweep enough driveways to pay off my debt.I was now officially a bike owner.Working for a bike of my own was a special feeling unlike others.
However, my joy was shortlived after my dad called my sister Liz to the kitchen.“I have one more gift for you, ” he said as he opened the door.There, on the steps, stood a new bike.I didn't hear her screams of joy.At the moment, all I could hear was the engine of the grass machine, the sound of the metal snow shovel(铲子)on the road.
After several weeks of finding me unhappy, my dad finally pulled me aside.“Is everything OK?” I complained, “It's unfair.I worked so hard for my bike and it's not even new.Then Liz got a new one as soon as I made the final payment.She didn't have to do anything for it.”
My dad smiled.“She didn't have to do anything for it because the bike is not really completely for her, ” he said, and then left the room.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
What did Dad's words really mean?
Paragraph 2:
Still, I wasn't smart enough to figure out what my dad meant until years later.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
What did Dad's words really mean? Why is the bike not really completely for her? I didn't want her bike—it belonged to a girl.Later Liz and I were riding all over the town together so that she could keep up with me.As we grew, Liz and I became true friends.We rode down to swim at the local pool, and then rode seven miles to take the free tennis lessons together.We ended up studying at the same college, and even graduated at the same year.
Paragraph 2:
Still, I wasn't smart enough to figure out what my dad meant until years later. That new bike was not a gift for Liz, but in fact it was a gift for me.My dad had given me the gift of my sister's company, the chance to stay together with her rather than live far apart from each other as we grew up.He gave me my best friend.It is a gift that I will value every day till the end.
