Unit1Knowing Me, Knowing You阅读完形训练 - 2024-2025学年高一英语专项提高训练必刷好题 （外研版2019必修第三册） 一、阅读理解 Passage1.My family joined an environmental protection club named Green Future — a club to remind people to protect the earth. So our family held an activity “Bottle of Rubbish Task”. That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible. My father worked online all day, so he didn’t produce any paper waste except paper napkins.He made the least rubbish in our family. My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn’t be avoided. It was not easy for mom to deal with all the rubbish, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing! My sister, a 16-year-old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But from then on, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves.She did a good job! I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I had fewer snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it! I’ve learnt a lot from this activity. I realize that everyone can produce less rubbish. We should start with small actions to protect the earth! 1．What activity did the writer’s family hold when they joined the club? A．A competition.

The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing grey. My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snowfall when I first came to Maine. “Just wait,” a neighbour advised. “You’ll wake up one morning and spring will just be here.” On 3 May that year I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of flipping a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and greens. Leaves had unfolded and daffodils were fighting their way heavenward. Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighbourhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree’s dark twisted branches stretch out in unpruned (未经修剪的) abandon. Each spring it blossoms so freely that the air becomes filled with the scent of apple. Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out to remove a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbours opened their windows and stepped onto their porches (门廊) . These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke to, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens. My mobile-home neighbour was the first to speak. “You’re not cutting it down, are you?” she asked anxiously. Another neighbour frowned as I cut off a branch. “Don’t kill it, now,” he warned. Soon half the neighbourhood had joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people’s names, what they did for a living, and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both familiarity and shared wonder. Just the other day I saw one of my neighbours at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighbourhood. And then, he looked at me and said, “We need to prune that apple tree again.” 1．What does the underlined sentence “My spirits ebb” in paragraph 1 mean? A．I feel relieved. B．I am tired. C．I am surprised. D．I feel blue. 2．What do we know about the apple tree mentioned in the passage? A．It is appealing only to the author. B．It has been abandoned by its original owner. C．It is regarded as a delight in the neighbourhood. D．It has been ignored by everyone in the community. 3．According to paragraph 4, why did the neighbours open their windows and step onto their porches? A．They wanted to get to know the author. B．They were concerned about the safety of the tree. C．They wanted to prevent the author from pruning the tree. D．They were surprised that someone unknown was pruning the tree. 4．What might the author’s neighbour mentioned in the last paragraph most care about? A．When spring would arrive. B．How to survive the long winter. C．The pruning of the apple tree. D．The neighbourhood gathering. Passage3.Having lost his eyesight in childhood, countless difficulties once stood in Ang Ziyu’s path as he experienced an academic life. However, in June, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in science and was ready to attend a course for a master’s degree, proving that his courage, determination and resilience (适应力) helped him get over difficulties caused by his visual disability. Ang was admitted to Minzu University of China in 2020, scoring 635 out of a possible 750 in the national college entrance exam, and became the university’s first-ever student with visual disability. Worries came along with the joy of college admission. Would he be able to take care of himself on campus? Would he be able to learn abstract knowledge in Braille (盲文)? Could he meet the graduation requirements four years later? “The greatest fear is the unknown. I did encounter many problems after entering college, but there was always a way,” said Ang. “Only after a month did I become familiar with the campus roads. I used to buy meals at certain stalls (摊位) in the self-service restaurant because of familiarity, but as a senior now, I would like to try every food I haven’t eaten yet before I leave the college,” Ang said. “Sometimes he walks faster than I do. He uses a stick more to remind people that he is blind, in case he knocks into others, rather than needing it to walk,” said Bai Lu, his teacher. Greater challenges came from education activities. As an information and computing science major, Ang needs to take many math courses that contain symbols and geometry, which are difficult to express in Braille. On the one hand, Ang has made some new adjustments to the writing rules of Braille to better deal with the math calculations. On the other hand, more intelligent screen-reading software, able to read many mathematical symbols and Greek letters, has become a convenience. In addition, voluntary schoolmates organized by the school would read the textbooks and math questions for him to assist his study. In terms of final exams, Ang answered the same test papers as his classmates did, but in a special way. Ang would first transcribe (把……转成) the questions read to him, then answer them in Braille in 1.5 times the standard exam time. When given scores, Ang would read his answers to the teachers face to face. 1．What does the underlined word “meet” in the second paragraph mean? A．Identify. B．Satisfy. C．Recommend. D．Replace. 2．Why did Ang buy meals at certain stalls at first? A．The foods there were much tastier. B．He knew or recognized the stalls better. C．The prices of foods there were lower. D．The stalls’ service quality was much better. 3．How can we best describe Ang according to the text? A．Grateful and humorous. B．Helpful and considerate. C．Intelligent and independent. D．Hardworking and adaptable. 4．Which can be the best title for the news report? A．Blind student completes college with resilience B．Countless difficulties stand in blind student’s path C．Blind student attends course for bachelor’s degree D．University’s first-ever student with visual disability Passage4.Growing up, I realized I wasn't as talkative as others within large groups of people. Parties were a mixed experience for me — I really wanted to be part of them, but usually spent the night waiting for it to end. I saw others getting everyone’s attention. I felt less confident. They say confidence comes with time. But eight years into my HR (human resources) career (职业), I still found myself staying out of the limelight (公众注意的中心). And then a colleague asked me if I was an introvert (内向的人). “No...?” I replied. I thought introverts were strange, and they didn’t even like people. That was certainly not me. I’d always liked people; I found them fascinating. When I was with my closest friends, I was quite talkative. Then he explained to me that introverts don’t know what to do when they’re around other people and need alone time to recharge. Extroverts are the opposite. And that was it. Hearing the two simple statements, I felt like over three decades of shame had been lifted off my shoulders. I learned to accept my introverted nature and focused on what I enjoyed. As I began to connect with people one-on-one, I found it very meaningful. This encouraged me to explore how I could use my introversion to help others. Finally, I started an online business called Career Off Script, where I focus on helping young professionals who are feeling lost and unhappy. I work with them one-on-one to discover their unique superpowers, strengths. So they, too, can appreciate their uniqueness and find their own success. 1．What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A．The author’s interests. B．The author’s personality. C．The author’s childhood life. D．The author’s social network. 2．Why did the author say to her colleague that she wasn’t an introvert? A．She thought her colleague was laughing at her. B．She didn’t want to admit that she liked people. C．She had become talkative after working for eight years. D．She had misunderstandings of what an introvert is like. 3．What effect did the author’s colleague’s words have on her? A．She looked at herself positively. B．She decided to give up her HR career. C．She developed an interest in people. D．She realized where her weaknesses lay. 4．What does the author mainly help people do by running Career Off Script? A．Become extroverts. B．Make career choices. C．Discover their strengths. D．Establish long friendships. Passage5.My parents never once spoke of the stress of having to pay for college, but I knew full well that it was there. Therefore, when my French teacher announced that she would lead an optional class trip to Paris over one of our breaks for those who could come up with the money to do it, I didn’t even bother to raise the issue at home. Yet one evening my parents sat me down, looking puzzled. My mom had learned about the France trip through my friend’s mom. “Why didn’t you tell us?” she said. “Because it costs too much money.” “That’s actually not for you to decide, Michelle,” my dad said gently, almost offended. “And how are we supposed to decide, if we don’t even know about it?” I looked at both, unsure of what to say. My mother glanced at me, her eyes soft. My father had changed out of his work uniform and into a clean white shirt. They were in their early forties then, married nearly twenty years. Neither one of them had ever vacationed in Europe. They never took beach trips or went out to dinner. They didn’t own a house. We were their investment, me and my brother. Everything went into us. A few months later, I boarded a flight to Paris with my teacher and a dozen or so of my classmates from Whitney Young. We would stay in a hostel, tour the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. We’d buy snacks from stands on the street and walk along the banks of the Seine. We’d speak French like a group of high school kids from Chicago. As the plane pulled away from its gate that day, I looked out of my window back at the airport, knowing that my mother stood somewhere behind its black - glass windows, dressed in her winter coat and waving me on. I remember all the details. I remember the jet engines firing, shockingly loud. And then we were rattling down the runway and beginning to tilt upward as the speeding up seized my chest and pressed me backward into my seat for that strange, in - between moment that comes before finally you feel lifted. 1．Why didn’t the author tell her parents about the France trip? A．She didn’t get on well with her parents. B．She thought her parents couldn’t afford it. C．She wanted to save money for her college. D．She had already had plans for the vacation. 2．What are the author’s parents like? A．Strict and ambitious. B．Devoted but stubborn. C．Loving and supportive. D．Caring but picky. 3．What does the author want to show by mentioning the take-off of her flight? A．Her nervousness about the flight. B．The sadness of leaving her mother. C．The eagerness of following her dream. D．Her deep impression of the experience. Passage6.The Art of Effective Communication In today’s interconnected world, effective communication is not just a skill, but a necessity. Whether we are at work, at school, or in our personal lives, the ability to express our thoughts and feelings clearly and respectfully is of vital importance. Effective communication begins with understanding the audience. Before we speak or write, it is important to consider who we are communicating with and what their needs, expectations, and emotions might be. This awareness helps us to tailor our message in a way that is most likely to be understood and appreciated. Active listening is another key element of effective communication. It involves giving full attention to the speaker, showing empathy, and avoiding interruptions. Active listening not only helps us to fully grasp the speaker’s intended meaning, but also shows our respect for their point of view. Non-verbal communication, such as body language and facial expressions, also plays a significant role in how our message is received. A smile, a nod, or a raised eyebrow can convey a message that words alone cannot express. Therefore, it is important to be aware of our own non-verbal cues and how they might be understood by others. Feedback(反馈) is another crucial aspect of effective communication. It allows us to assess how well our message has been understood and received. Constructive feedback can help us to improve our communication skills and better meet the needs of our audience. In conclusion, effective communication is a multifaceted (多方面的) skill that requires attention to both verbal and non-verbal elements. By understanding our audience, practicing active listening, being aware of our non-verbal cues, and seeking feedback, we can greatly improve our ability to communicate effectively with others. 1．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a key element of effective communication? A．Active listening. B．Being aware of non-verbal cues. C．Understanding the audience. D．Avoiding eye contact. 2．Why is understanding the audience important for effective communication? A．It helps us avoid making mistakes in our daily life. B．It enables us to express more complex thoughts. C．It allows us to adjust our message for better understanding. D．It makes us more confident and comfortable in communication. 3．What is the purpose of seeking feedback in communication? A．To make a deep impression on the audience. B．To figure out how well others understand and accept our message. C．To avoid giving constructive suggestions. D．To make our communication more interesting. 4．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Non-verbal communication is more important than verbal communication. B．People with poor communication skills don’t need feedback. C．If we ignore non-verbal cues, our communication may not be as effective. D．Understanding the audience is the most important element in communication. Passage7.Marie Lantelme! The name hit me somewhere in my deep memory. Miss Lantelme, as I called her in my youth, worked as a librarian at our local library when I was a little girl. Her name came to mind while I was training in the gym, where people know me as the one who reads while exercising. In my hands I held a book which is about how people get the support of librarians. The book brought back my memory. In the 1960’s, on my first visit to the library, I walked over to a librarian’s desk in search of a book. Strict, responsible, and in the voice of a loving librarian, Miss Lantelme asked what kind of books I’d like to read. I answered that I wanted to read mysteries (疑案小说). When I first learned to read, my grandparents gave me the book The Smugglers of Sandy Bay, a mystery, which still holds a place in my book collection. It was then that I fell in love with mysteries. Miss Lantelme told me to follow her. She took me to a shelf and pointed out books by Agatha Christie to me and gave me the book The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I won’t tell the ending to anyone who has never read it, but I loved the surprise I never saw coming. Each week I dug deep into the works of this excellent writer whose stories still draw me in. Once Miss Lantelme gave me a book by John le Carré. For years I’ve waited for each new offering from the famous writer. All of these memories flashed through my mind as I sweated (出汗) my way through my training. Thank the librarian, Miss Lantelme, for giving me a lifetime of joy through books. 1．What made the author think of Miss Lantelme? A．Her favorite mystery. B．A chance meeting with her.

I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would have a better education here, so I enrolled (登记) in the local high school in my new town. I was afraid of how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector (投影仪). In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular (惯常的) process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s still fourth period.” “But the bell just rang,” I said. Changing from a gentle tone to a harsh (刺耳的) one, she said,“That is the lunch bell, young man.“ I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria (自助食堂). I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I saw my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad. 1．Why did the author enroll in an American high school? A．Because his mother had worked in it for 3 years. B．Because his father thought little of Indian schools. C．Because his family wanted him to have a bright future. D．Because he had been anxious to leave his homeland. 2．What can we learn about the author’s first day of school? A．He missed his lunch because he was lost. B．He had no choice but to seat in a fixed seat. C．His classmates and teachers were all unfriendly. D．He felt differences between the two education systems. 3．What does the underlined word “barrier” probably mean? A．Period. B．Difficulty. C．Task.

Passage9.Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them. But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships. Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other. Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms (平台) . In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation. Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the“friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face. 1．Why does the author mention Kaylee in Paragraph 1? A．To offer some advice to the readers. B．To introduce the topic of the text. C．To stress the importance of friendship. D．To show the main idea of the text. 2．How has communication changed compared to previous generations? A．Kids today think spending time with friends is real communication. B．Communicating online is more common nowadays. C．Children now write more letters to their friends. D．Children today communicate face-to-face more often. 3．What’s Larry Rosen’s attitude towards online communication? A．Positive. B．Unclear. C．Confused. D．Negative. 4．What’s the best title for this text? A．The Ways of Making True Friends B．The Impact of Social Media on Friendships C．The Benefits of Online Communication D．The Evolution of Friendship in the Digital Age Passage10.Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile. It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone. Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems. Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile. Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and make friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now. One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn’t remember doing so! It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is.

So our family held an activity “Bottle of Rubbish Task”. That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible. My father worked online all day, so he didn’t produce any paper waste except paper napkins.He made the least rubbish in our family. My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn’t be avoided. It was not easy for mom to deal with all the rubbish, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing! My sister, a 16-year-old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But from then on, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves.She did a good job! I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I had fewer snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it! I’ve learnt a lot from this activity. I realize that everyone can produce less rubbish. We should start with small actions to protect the earth! 1．What activity did the writer’s family hold when they joined the club? A．A competition. B．A trip. C．A picnic. D．A party. 2．What does the word “leftovers” mean in the third paragraph? A．Dishes that are cooked by mother. B．Waste that is produced in the kitchen. C．Food that hasn’t been eaten up at the end of a meal. D．Food bags that are used to put the vegetable leaves. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The writer’s mother can deal with the rubbish easily. B．The writer stopped eating snacks. C．The writer’s sister used only one side of the paper now. D．The writer might become healthier after the activity. 4．Which can be the slogan (口号) of the activity? A．No pain, no gain. B．Never too old to learn. C．Small actions make a big difference. D．He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己一家加入名为 “绿色未来” 的环保俱乐部后，开展了 “垃圾瓶任务”活动，即把垃圾装在一个 600 毫升的瓶子里，尽量减少垃圾产生。文中分别介绍了父亲、母亲、妹妹和自己在活动中的表现以及从中的收获，强调了每个人都可以通过小行动来保护地球。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“So our family held an activity “Bottle of Rubbish Task”. That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible.(所以我们家举办了一个活动“垃圾瓶任务”。这意味着垃圾需要装在一个600毫升的瓶子里。我们决定测试一下我们的能力，尽量少制造垃圾。)”可知，作者一家举行的“垃圾瓶任务”活动是为了测试自己的能力，尽量少产生垃圾，这类似于一种竞赛性质的活动。故选A项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day.(更糟糕的是，那天我们吃不完晚餐上所有的食物。)”由此可知，剩菜是无法避免的。故可猜测划线单词leftovers为“剩菜”的意思，和C选项Food that hasn’t been eaten up at the end of a meal.“饭后没吃完的食物”意思相近。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I had fewer snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it!(我喜欢零食和饮料。所以我的垃圾几乎都来自它们。我高度警惕，必须减少废物的产生。我很少吃零食或饮料。太难了，但我做到了！)”可知，作者为了减少垃圾产生，减少了吃零食和喝饮料的量。从健康角度来说，少吃零食和饮料可能会让作者变得更健康，所以D选项“The writer might become healthier after the activity.”（作者在活动后可能会变得更健康）正确，ABC选项均与原文实意不符。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者一家通过 “垃圾瓶任务”这样的小行动来减少垃圾产生，进而保护环境，强调了每个人都可以从身边的小行动做起，为保护地球做出贡献。C 选项“Small actions make a big difference.”（小行动会产生大影响），符合文章中通过小行动来保护环境的主旨，可以作为活动的口号。故选C项。 Passage2.Every April I am troubled by the same concern that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing grey. My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snowfall when I first came to Maine. “Just wait,” a neighbour advised. “You’ll wake up one morning and spring will just be here.” On 3 May that year I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of flipping a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and greens. Leaves had unfolded and daffodils were fighting their way heavenward. Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighbourhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree’s dark twisted branches stretch out in unpruned (未经修剪的) abandon. Each spring it blossoms so freely that the air becomes filled with the scent of apple. Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out to remove a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbours opened their windows and stepped onto their porches (门廊) . These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke to, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens. My mobile-home neighbour was the first to speak. “You’re not cutting it down, are you?” she asked anxiously. Another neighbour frowned as I cut off a branch. “Don’t kill it, now,” he warned. Soon half the neighbourhood had joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people’s names, what they did for a living, and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both familiarity and shared wonder. Just the other day I saw one of my neighbours at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighbourhood. And then, he looked at me and said, “We need to prune that apple tree again.” 1．What does the underlined sentence “My spirits ebb” in paragraph 1 mean? A．I feel relieved. B．I am tired. C．I am surprised. D．I feel blue. 2．What do we know about the apple tree mentioned in the passage? A．It is appealing only to the author. B．It has been abandoned by its original owner. C．It is regarded as a delight in the neighbourhood. D．It has been ignored by everyone in the community. 3．According to paragraph 4, why did the neighbours open their windows and step onto their porches? A．They wanted to get to know the author. B．They were concerned about the safety of the tree. C．They wanted to prevent the author from pruning the tree. D．They were surprised that someone unknown was pruning the tree. 4．What might the author’s neighbour mentioned in the last paragraph most care about? A．When spring would arrive. B．How to survive the long winter. C．The pruning of the apple tree. D．The neighbourhood gathering. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了春天的到来让作者欣喜万分，开始去修剪小区里无人注意的一棵老苹果树，这一举动无意间将邻居们聚集在了一起聊天、交流。表达了漫长的冬天使人们迫切地需要有机会聚在一起，相互交流的心情。 1．词句猜测题。根据上文“Every April I am troubled by the same concern that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing grey.(每年四月我都被同样的忧虑所困扰，担心今年不会有春天了。风景看起来很沉闷，山峦、天空和森林都是灰色的)”可知，四月份春天还没有到来，沉闷的景色让作者感到忧虑、沮丧；结合划线句所在“My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snowfall when I first came to Maine.(My spirits ebb, 就像我第一次来到缅因州时，在四月的一场大雪中一样)”可知，作者在四月遇到大雪，还是冬天的风景，这让作者感到很沮丧，故My spirits ebb表示“我感觉很沮丧”。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder.(就好像那棵老苹果树把我们聚集在它的树枝下，既是为了相识，也是为了分享惊奇)”可知，文章的苹果树能把邻居们聚在一起交流、分享，故被认为是邻里之间的快乐。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“I set out to remove a few disorderly branches.(我开始修剪几根乱插乱放的树枝)”和第五段“My mobile-home neighbour was the first to speak. “You’re not cutting it down, are you?” she asked anxiously. Another neighbour frowned as I cut off a branch. “Don’t kill it, now,” he warned.(我的移动房屋邻居第一个开口说话。“你不是要把它砍倒吧？”她焦急地问。当我砍下一根树枝时，另一个邻居皱起了眉头。“现在别杀它，”他警告说)”可知，看到作者修剪苹果树，邻居们都打开窗户，走出门廊，是因为他们担心作者把树砍倒，即担心苹果树的安全。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighbourhood. And then, he looked at me and said, “We need to prune that apple tree again.”(他说，最近的这个冬天特别漫长，他抱怨说，他在我们附近没有见过任何人，也没有和任何人说过话。然后，他看着我说：“我们需要再修剪一下那棵苹果树。”)”可知，邻居提出修剪苹果树，是因为他想借这个机会见到其他邻居，和大家聚在一起说说话，所以他最关心的是邻里聚会。故选D。 Passage3.Having lost his eyesight in childhood, countless difficulties once stood in Ang Ziyu’s path as he experienced an academic life. However, in June, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in science and was ready to attend a course for a master’s degree, proving that his courage, determination and resilience (适应力) helped him get over difficulties caused by his visual disability. Ang was admitted to Minzu University of China in 2020, scoring 635 out of a possible 750 in the national college entrance exam, and became the university’s first-ever student with visual disability. Worries came along with the joy of college admission. Would he be able to take care of himself on campus? Would he be able to learn abstract knowledge in Braille (盲文)? Could he meet the graduation requirements four years later? “The greatest fear is the unknown. I did encounter many problems after entering college, but there was always a way,” said Ang. “Only after a month did I become familiar with the campus roads. I used to buy meals at certain stalls (摊位) in the self-service restaurant because of familiarity, but as a senior now, I would like to try every food I haven’t eaten yet before I leave the college,” Ang said. “Sometimes he walks faster than I do. He uses a stick more to remind people that he is blind, in case he knocks into others, rather than needing it to walk,” said Bai Lu, his teacher. Greater challenges came from education activities. As an information and computing science major, Ang needs to take many math courses that contain symbols and geometry, which are difficult to express in Braille. On the one hand, Ang has made some new adjustments to the writing rules of Braille to better deal with the math calculations. On the other hand, more intelligent screen-reading software, able to read many mathematical symbols and Greek letters, has become a convenience. In addition, voluntary schoolmates organized by the school would read the textbooks and math questions for him to assist his study. In terms of final exams, Ang answered the same test papers as his classmates did, but in a special way. Ang would first transcribe (把……转成) the questions read to him, then answer them in Braille in 1.5 times the standard exam time. When given scores, Ang would read his answers to the teachers face to face. 1．What does the underlined word “meet” in the second paragraph mean? A．Identify. B．Satisfy. C．Recommend. D．Replace. 2．Why did Ang buy meals at certain stalls at first? A．The foods there were much tastier. B．He knew or recognized the stalls better. C．The prices of foods there were lower. D．The stalls’ service quality was much better. 3．How can we best describe Ang according to the text? A．Grateful and humorous. B．Helpful and considerate. C．Intelligent and independent. D．Hardworking and adaptable. 4．Which can be the best title for the news report? A．Blind student completes college with resilience B．Countless difficulties stand in blind student’s path C．Blind student attends course for bachelor’s degree D．University’s first-ever student with visual disability 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了有视力障碍的Ang Ziyu通过自己的勇气、决心和韧性完成了大学学习获得学位，并准备攻读硕士的故事。 1．词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Worries came along with the joy of college admission. Would he be able to take care of himself on campus? Would he be able to learn abstract knowledge in Braille (盲文)? (大学录取的喜悦伴随着忧虑而来。他在校园里能照顾好自己吗？他能用盲文学习抽象知识吗？)”及划线词后文“the graduation requirements four years later (四年后的毕业要求)”可知，此处描述进入大学后的担忧，即，能否达到毕业的要求，meet与此处satisfy“满足”意思相近。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段““Only after a month did I become familiar with the campus roads. I used to buy meals at certain stalls (摊位) in the self-service restaurant because of familiarity, but as a senior now, I would like to try every food I haven’t eaten yet before I leave the college,” Ang said. (Ang说：“一个月后，我才熟悉了校园道路。因为熟悉，我过去常常在自助餐厅的某些摊位上买饭，但现在作为一名大四学生，我想在离开学校之前尝试每一种我还没有吃过的食物。”)”可知，刚开始Ang在特定的摊位上买饭是因为他更熟悉或更能认出了那些摊位。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“However, in June, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in science and was ready to attend a course for a master’s degree, proving that his courage, determination and resilience (适应力) helped him get over difficulties caused by his visual disability. (然而，今年6月，他获得了理学学士学位，并准备攻读硕士学位，这证明了他的勇气、决心和韧性帮助他克服了视力障碍带来的困难。)”可知，Ang是努力的，他最终获得了学士学位并攻读硕士学位；根据文章第四段“On the one hand, Ang has made some new adjustments to the writing rules of Braille to better deal with the math calculations. (一方面，Ang对盲文的书写规则做了一些新的调整，以更好地处理数学计算。)”可知，Ang能自己做出调整从而更好地进行数学计算说明他适应力强。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“However, in June, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in science and was ready to attend a course for a master’s degree, proving that his courage, determination and resilience (适应力) helped him get over difficulties caused by his visual disability. (然而，今年6月，他获得了理学学士学位，并准备攻读硕士学位，这证明了他的勇气、决心和韧性帮助他克服了视力障碍带来的困难。)”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了有视力障碍的Ang Ziyu通过自己的勇气、决心和韧性完成了大学学习获得学位，并准备攻读硕士的故事。故A选项“失明学生凭借坚韧完成大学学业”适合作为本文最佳标题。故选A。 Passage4.Growing up, I realized I wasn't as talkative as others within large groups of people. Parties were a mixed experience for me — I really wanted to be part of them, but usually spent the night waiting for it to end. I saw others getting everyone’s attention. I felt less confident. They say confidence comes with time. But eight years into my HR (human resources) career (职业), I still found myself staying out of the limelight (公众注意的中心). And then a colleague asked me if I was an introvert (内向的人). “No...?” I replied. I thought introverts were strange, and they didn’t even like people. That was certainly not me. I’d always liked people; I found them fascinating. When I was with my closest friends, I was quite talkative. Then he explained to me that introverts don’t know what to do when they’re around other people and need alone time to recharge. Extroverts are the opposite. And that was it. Hearing the two simple statements, I felt like over three decades of shame had been lifted off my shoulders. I learned to accept my introverted nature and focused on what I enjoyed. As I began to connect with people one-on-one, I found it very meaningful. This encouraged me to explore how I could use my introversion to help others. Finally, I started an online business called Career Off Script, where I focus on helping young professionals who are feeling lost and unhappy. I work with them one-on-one to discover their unique superpowers, strengths. So they, too, can appreciate their uniqueness and find their own success. 1．What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A．The author’s interests. B．The author’s personality. C．The author’s childhood life. D．The author’s social network. 2．Why did the author say to her colleague that she wasn’t an introvert? A．She thought her colleague was laughing at her. B．She didn’t want to admit that she liked people. C．She had become talkative after working for eight years. D．She had misunderstandings of what an introvert is like. 3．What effect did the author’s colleague’s words have on her? A．She looked at herself positively. B．She decided to give up her HR career. C．She developed an interest in people. D．She realized where her weaknesses lay. 4．What does the author mainly help people do by running Career Off Script? A．Become extroverts. B．Make career choices. C．Discover their strengths. D．Establish long friendships. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者如何接受自己的内向性格并利用它帮助他人。文章通过作者的亲身经历，展现了从对内向性格的误解到接受，并最终利用这一特点创办在线事业帮助他人的过程。 1．主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Growing up, I realized I wasn’t as talkative as others within large groups of people. Parties were a mixed experience for me — I really wanted to be part of them, but usually spent the night waiting for it to end. I saw others getting everyone’s attention. I felt less confident. (在成长的过程中，我意识到自己在大群体中并不像其他人那样健谈。派对对我来说是一种复杂的体验——我真的很想成为其中的一员，但通常整晚都在盼着它快点结束。我看到其他人能够吸引所有人的注意，这让我感到不那么自信。)”可知，本段主要关于作者的性格。故选B。 2．推理判断题。由文章第四段“I thought introverts were strange, and they didn’t even like people. That was certainly not me. I’d always liked people; I found them fascinating. When I was with my closest friends, I was quite talkative. (我认为内向的人很奇怪，他们甚至不喜欢与人交往。那绝对不是我。我一直都很喜欢与人接触，我觉得他们很有趣。当我和最亲密的朋友在一起时，我很健谈。)”可知，作者对内向的人有误解。故选D。 3．推理判断题。由文章第七段中“Hearing the two simple statements, I felt like over three decades of shame had been lifted off my shoulders. (听到这两句简单的话，我感觉三十多年的羞愧感从肩上卸了下来。)”可知，同事的话让作者开始积极地看待自己。故选A。 4．细节理解题。由文章最后一段“Finally, I started an online business called Career Off Script, where I focus on helping young professionals who are feeling lost and unhappy. I work with them one-on-one to discover their unique superpowers, strengths. So they, too, can appreciate their uniqueness and find their own success. (最终，我创办了一个名为“Career Off Script”的在线业务，专注于帮助那些感到迷茫和不快乐的年轻专业人士。我与他们一对一地合作，发掘他们独特的超能力、优势。这样，他们也能欣赏自己的独特性，并找到自己的成功之路。)”可知，作者主要通过经营“Career Off Script”帮助人们发现自己的优势。故选C。 Passage5.My parents never once spoke of the stress of having to pay for college, but I knew full well that it was there. Therefore, when my French teacher announced that she would lead an optional class trip to Paris over one of our breaks for those who could come up with the money to do it, I didn’t even bother to raise the issue at home. Yet one evening my parents sat me down, looking puzzled. My mom had learned about the France trip through my friend’s mom. “Why didn’t you tell us?” she said. “Because it costs too much money.” “That’s actually not for you to decide, Michelle,” my dad said gently, almost offended. “And how are we supposed to decide, if we don’t even know about it?” I looked at both, unsure of what to say. My mother glanced at me, her eyes soft. My father had changed out of his work uniform and into a clean white shirt. They were in their early forties then, married nearly twenty years. Neither one of them had ever vacationed in Europe. They never took beach trips or went out to dinner. They didn’t own a house. We were their investment, me and my brother. Everything went into us. A few months later, I boarded a flight to Paris with my teacher and a dozen or so of my classmates from Whitney Young. We would stay in a hostel, tour the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. We’d buy snacks from stands on the street and walk along the banks of the Seine. We’d speak French like a group of high school kids from Chicago. As the plane pulled away from its gate that day, I looked out of my window back at the airport, knowing that my mother stood somewhere behind its black - glass windows, dressed in her winter coat and waving me on. I remember all the details. I remember the jet engines firing, shockingly loud. And then we were rattling down the runway and beginning to tilt upward as the speeding up seized my chest and pressed me backward into my seat for that strange, in - between moment that comes before finally you feel lifted. 1．Why didn’t the author tell her parents about the France trip? A．She didn’t get on well with her parents. B．She thought her parents couldn’t afford it. C．She wanted to save money for her college. D．She had already had plans for the vacation. 2．What are the author’s parents like? A．Strict and ambitious. B．Devoted but stubborn. C．Loving and supportive. D．Caring but picky. 3．What does the author want to show by mentioning the take-off of her flight? A．Her nervousness about the flight. B．The sadness of leaving her mother. C．The eagerness of following her dream. D．Her deep impression of the experience. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在高中时期因家庭经济状况而未主动告知父母关于一次法国旅行的机会，然而，父母得知后决定支持她参加这次旅行，并通过细致的描写展现了父母对子女无私的爱和支持。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My parents never once spoke of the stress of having to pay for college, but I knew full well that it was there. Therefore, when my French teacher announced that she would lead an optional class trip to Paris over one of our breaks for those who could come up with the money to do it, I didn’t even bother to raise the issue at home.(我的父母从未提到过支付大学学费的压力，但我非常清楚这一点。因此，当我的法语老师宣布将在假期期间带领那些能负担得起费用的学生去巴黎时，我甚至没有在家里提起这件事。)”可知，作者非常了解父母有着支付大学费用的压力，而且法语老师打算带能支付得起费用的学生去巴黎，由此可知，作者没有告诉父母关于法国之行的原因是因为她认为家里负担不起这次旅行的费用。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段 ““That’s actually not for you to decide, Michelle,” my dad said gently, almost offended.(“这实际上不是由你来决定的，米歇尔，”我爸爸温柔地说，几乎有些生气。)”以及第六段““And how are we supposed to decide, if we don’t even know about it?”(“如果我们都不知道这件事，我们怎么能决定呢？”)”可知，在作者父母知道事情真相的时候，几乎有些生气，由此可知，父母其实是很支持作者去巴黎的，结合倒数第三段中的“Neither one of them had ever vacationed in Europe. They never took beach trips or went out to dinner. They didn’t own a house. We were their investment, me and my brother. Everything went into us.(他们从未去过欧洲度假，也没有进行过海滩旅行或外出就餐。他们甚至没有自己的房子。我和我的兄弟就是他们的投资，他们把一切都倾注在我们身上。)”可知，作者的父母是非常关爱和支持孩子的成长和发展，愿意为了孩子做出牺牲和努力。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据尾段中的“I remember all the details. I remember the jet engines firing, shockingly loud. And then we were rattling down the runway and beginning to tilt upward as the speeding up seized my chest and pressed me backward into my seat for that strange, in-between moment that comes before finally you feel lifted.(我记得所有的细节。我记得喷气发动机启动时震耳欲聋的声音。然后我们沿着跑道颠簸前行，开始向上倾斜，加速使我感到胸闷，将我压回座位上，在那种奇怪的过渡时刻到来之前，最终你会感觉到自己被抬升起来。)”可知，作者详细描述了起飞过程中的感受和周围的环境，表明她对这段经历印象深刻。故选D。 Passage6.The Art of Effective Communication In today’s interconnected world, effective communication is not just a skill, but a necessity. Whether we are at work, at school, or in our personal lives, the ability to express our thoughts and feelings clearly and respectfully is of vital importance. Effective communication begins with understanding the audience. Before we speak or write, it is important to consider who we are communicating with and what their needs, expectations, and emotions might be. This awareness helps us to tailor our message in a way that is most likely to be understood and appreciated. Active listening is another key element of effective communication. It involves giving full attention to the speaker, showing empathy, and avoiding interruptions. Active listening not only helps us to fully grasp the speaker’s intended meaning, but also shows our respect for their point of view. Non-verbal communication, such as body language and facial expressions, also plays a significant role in how our message is received. A smile, a nod, or a raised eyebrow can convey a message that words alone cannot express. Therefore, it is important to be aware of our own non-verbal cues and how they might be understood by others. Feedback(反馈) is another crucial aspect of effective communication. It allows us to assess how well our message has been understood and received. Constructive feedback can help us to improve our communication skills and better meet the needs of our audience. In conclusion, effective communication is a multifaceted (多方面的) skill that requires attention to both verbal and non-verbal elements. By understanding our audience, practicing active listening, being aware of our non-verbal cues, and seeking feedback, we can greatly improve our ability to communicate effectively with others. 1．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a key element of effective communication? A．Active listening. B．Being aware of non-verbal cues. C．Understanding the audience. D．Avoiding eye contact. 2．Why is understanding the audience important for effective communication? A．It helps us avoid making mistakes in our daily life. B．It enables us to express more complex thoughts. C．It allows us to adjust our message for better understanding. D．It makes us more confident and comfortable in communication. 3．What is the purpose of seeking feedback in communication? A．To make a deep impression on the audience. B．To figure out how well others understand and accept our message. C．To avoid giving constructive suggestions. D．To make our communication more interesting. 4．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Non-verbal communication is more important than verbal communication. B．People with poor communication skills don’t need feedback. C．If we ignore non-verbal cues, our communication may not be as effective. D．Understanding the audience is the most important element in communication. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有效沟通的重要性以及有效沟通的关键要素，包括了解受众、积极倾听、注意非语言沟通和寻求反馈等。 1．细节理解题。文章第二段“Effective communication begins with understanding the audience(有效的沟通始于了解受众)”提到了理解受众是有效沟通的要素；第三段“Active listening is another key element of effective communication(积极倾听是有效沟通的另一个关键要素)”提到了积极倾听是有效沟通的要素；第四段“Non-verbal communication, such as body language and facial expressions, also plays a significant role in how our message is received(非言语沟通，如肢体语言和面部表情，在我们传递的信息被接收的方式中也起着重要作用)”提到了注意非言语暗示是有效沟通的要素。而文中未提及避免眼神接触是有效沟通的要素。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Before we speak or write, it is important to consider who we are communicating with and what their needs, expectations, and emotions might be. This awareness helps us to tailor our message in a way that is most likely to be understood and appreciated(在我们说话或写作之前，考虑我们交流的对象是谁，他们的需求、期望和情绪可能是什么是很重要的。这种意识有助于我们调整信息的方式，使其最有可能被理解和欣赏)”可知，理解受众能让我们调整自己的信息以便更好地被理解。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Feedback (反馈) is another crucial aspect of effective communication. It allows us to assess how well our message has been understood and received(反馈是有效沟通的另一个关键方面。它使我们能够评估我们的信息被理解和接受的程度)”可知，在沟通中寻求反馈的目的是了解他人对我们信息的理解和接受程度。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Non-verbal communication, such as body language and facial expressions, also plays a significant role in how our message is received. A smile, a nod, or a raised eyebrow can convey a message that words alone cannot express(非言语沟通，如肢体语言和面部表情，在我们传递的信息被接收的方式中也起着重要的作用。一个微笑、点头或扬眉吐气都能传达出仅用言语无法表达的信息)”可知，非言语沟通在信息传递中很重要，一个微笑、点头或扬眉吐气都能传达出仅用言语无法表达的信息。由此推知，如果忽略非言语暗示，我们的沟通可能就不会那么有效。故选C项。 Passage7.Marie Lantelme! The name hit me somewhere in my deep memory. Miss Lantelme, as I called her in my youth, worked as a librarian at our local library when I was a little girl. Her name came to mind while I was training in the gym, where people know me as the one who reads while exercising. In my hands I held a book which is about how people get the support of librarians. The book brought back my memory. In the 1960’s, on my first visit to the library, I walked over to a librarian’s desk in search of a book. Strict, responsible, and in the voice of a loving librarian, Miss Lantelme asked what kind of books I’d like to read. I answered that I wanted to read mysteries (疑案小说). When I first learned to read, my grandparents gave me the book The Smugglers of Sandy Bay, a mystery, which still holds a place in my book collection. It was then that I fell in love with mysteries. Miss Lantelme told me to follow her. She took me to a shelf and pointed out books by Agatha Christie to me and gave me the book The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I won’t tell the ending to anyone who has never read it, but I loved the surprise I never saw coming. Each week I dug deep into the works of this excellent writer whose stories still draw me in. Once Miss Lantelme gave me a book by John le Carré. For years I’ve waited for each new offering from the famous writer. All of these memories flashed through my mind as I sweated (出汗) my way through my training. Thank the librarian, Miss Lantelme, for giving me a lifetime of joy through books. 1．What made the author think of Miss Lantelme? A．Her favorite mystery. B．A chance meeting with her. C．A book mentioning librarians. D．Her visit to the local library. 2．Why was the author interested in mysteries? A．Mysteries were popular in the 1960’s. B．Teenagers generally prefer reading mysteries. C．Miss Lantelme recommended mysteries to her. D．Her grandparents introduced her to mysteries. 3．What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3? A．She was confused about the ending. B．She was attracted to Agatha’s works. C．She focused on the storylines of mysteries. D．She considered Agatha’s stories not perfect. 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．Amazing power — mysteries. B．Happy memories of a librarian. C．Lifelong joy from grandparents. D．Respectable people — librarians. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者因一本关于图书管理员的书，回忆起儿时图书管理员Miss Lantelme为自己推荐书籍，引领自己爱上阅读的经历，表达了对她的感激。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Her name came to mind while I was training in the gym, where people know me as the one who reads while exercising. In my hands I held a book which is about how people get the support of librarians. The book brought back my memory. (当我在健身房训练时，她的名字浮现在我的脑海里，人们知道我是一个边锻炼边读书的人。我手里拿着一本关于人们如何获得图书馆员支持的书。这本书唤起了我的记忆。)”可知，作者在健身房训练时手里拿着一本关于人们如何得到图书管理员支持的书，这本书让作者想起了Miss Lantelme。因此，让作者想起Miss Lantelme的是一本书提到了图书管理员。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“When I first learned to read, my grandparents gave me the book The Smugglers of Sandy Bay, a mystery, which still holds a place in my book collection. It was then that I fell in love with mysteries. (当我第一次学会阅读的时候，我的祖父母给了我一本《桑迪湾的走私者》，这是一本疑案小说，至今它在我的藏书里仍占有一席之地。就在那时，我爱上了疑案小说。)”可知，是作者的祖父母向她介绍了疑案小说，让她对疑案小说产生了兴趣。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“She took me to a shelf and pointed out books by Agatha Christie to me and gave me the book The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I won’t tell the ending to anyone who has never read it, but I loved the surprise I never saw coming. Each week I dug deep into the works of this excellent writer whose stories still draw me in. (她把我带到书架前，给我指了指阿加莎·克里斯蒂的书，然后把《罗杰·阿克罗伊德谋杀案》给了我。我不会告诉任何从未读过它的人结局，但我喜欢我从未见过的惊喜。每周，我都会深入研究这位优秀作家的作品，她的故事至今仍吸引着我。)”可知，Miss Lantelme给作者推荐了阿加莎·克里斯蒂的书，作者喜欢书中的惊喜，并且每周都会深入阅读这位优秀作家的作品，她的故事仍然吸引着作者。由此可以推断出，作者被阿加莎的作品所吸引。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Marie Lantelme! The name hit me somewhere in my deep memory. Miss Lantelme, as I called her in my youth, worked as a librarian at our local library when I was a little girl. Her name came to mind while I was training in the gym, where people know me as the one who reads while exercising. In my hands I held a book which is about how people get the support of librarians. The book brought back my memory. (Marie Lantelme！这个名字触动了我内心深处的某些记忆。Miss Lantelme，我年轻时是这么称呼她的，在我还是个小女孩的时候，她是我们当地图书馆的一名图书管理员。当我在健身房锻炼时，她的名字浮现在了我的脑海中，在健身房里，人们都知道我是那个一边锻炼一边看书的人。我手中拿着一本关于人们如何获得图书管理员支持的书。这本书唤起了我的回忆。)”和最后一段“All of these memories flashed through my mind as I sweated (出汗) my way through my training. Thank the librarian, Miss Lantelme, for giving me a lifetime of joy through books. (在挥汗如雨的训练过程中，所有这些回忆在我的脑海中一闪而过。感谢图书管理员Miss Lantelme，通过书籍给我带来了一生的快乐。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者回忆了童年时期在图书馆遇到的一位图书管理员Miss Lantelme，以及她如何通过推荐书籍给作者，让作者爱上了阅读，尤其是悬疑小说，给作者带来了一生的快乐。因此，文章的主旨大意是关于作者对一位图书管理员的快乐回忆。故选B。 Passage8.Frightened, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would have a better education here, so I enrolled (登记) in the local high school in my new town. I was afraid of how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector (投影仪). In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular (惯常的) process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s still fourth period.” “But the bell just rang,” I said. Changing from a gentle tone to a harsh (刺耳的) one, she said,“That is the lunch bell, young man.“ I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria (自助食堂). I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I saw my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad. 1．Why did the author enroll in an American high school? A．Because his mother had worked in it for 3 years. B．Because his father thought little of Indian schools. C．Because his family wanted him to have a bright future. D．Because he had been anxious to leave his homeland. 2．What can we learn about the author’s first day of school? A．He missed his lunch because he was lost. B．He had no choice but to seat in a fixed seat. C．His classmates and teachers were all unfriendly. D．He felt differences between the two education systems. 3．What does the underlined word “barrier” probably mean? A．Period. B．Difficulty. C．Task. D．Door. 4．What was the author’s attitude towards his first day in high school? A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者介绍了到美国上高中的第一天，对比了美国高中和印度高中的不同。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future. (我从印度长途跋涉来到这里，与已经在这里生活了三年的父母团聚，希望美国能帮助我的未来。)”可知，父母希望作者在美国受到好教育从而有个更好的未来。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector (投影仪). In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. (然后他让我选择坐在哪里。其实我并不想选座位。在印度，我们的座位是固定的，所以我从来不需要担心这个问题。剩下的时间里，我都在根据投影仪产生的图像做笔记。在印度的学校里，我们没有使用这项技术。老师讲课时我们必须记笔记。)”可知，美国高中和印度高中有很大差异。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Every confusion seemed like a (每一个困惑似乎都是……)”以及后文“I had to get through to reach my goal (我达到目标必须克服……)”可知，每个困惑似乎都是必须克服才能达到目标的障碍。故划线词barrier相当于“困难”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I saw my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad. (我看到了我的公共汽车，高兴地坐在里面。我在想，今天还不错。)”可知，作者觉得第一天还不错。故选A。 Passage9.Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them. But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships. Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other. Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms (平台) . In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation. Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the“friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face. 1．Why does the author mention Kaylee in Paragraph 1? A．To offer some advice to the readers. B．To introduce the topic of the text. C．To stress the importance of friendship. D．To show the main idea of the text. 2．How has communication changed compared to previous generations? A．Kids today think spending time with friends is real communication. B．Communicating online is more common nowadays. C．Children now write more letters to their friends. D．Children today communicate face-to-face more often. 3．What’s Larry Rosen’s attitude towards online communication? A．Positive. B．Unclear. C．Confused. D．Negative. 4．What’s the best title for this text? A．The Ways of Making True Friends B．The Impact of Social Media on Friendships C．The Benefits of Online Communication D．The Evolution of Friendship in the Digital Age 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了社交媒体对青少年友谊的影响。以Kaylee为例引出话题，一方面阐述了在线交流在保持联系、分享感受等方面对友谊有积极作用；另一方面指出过度依赖在线交流可能会阻碍深度友谊的形成，孩子们可能会错把社交媒体上的“朋友”当成真正的朋友。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.(13岁的Kaylee有很多朋友，如果你把她的网上朋友加起来，实际上有532个。她花了很多时间和他们在一起)”可知，作者以Kaylee有很多在线朋友且花很多时间和他们在一起为例，引出下文关于在线友谊是否会让人感到孤独以及对真正友谊的影响的讨论，即引出了文章的主题。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.(在你父母的童年时代，与朋友联系通常意味着花时间与他们在一起。孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏，而不是在手机上玩《Words With Friends》。当朋友们想念彼此时，他们会拿起电话。朋友们甚至可以互相写信)”以及第四段“Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms (平台).(今天，大多数交流都是在网上进行的。一个典型的青少年每月发送2000条短信，每周花在屏幕前的时间超过44小时。大部分时间都花在了社交媒体平台上)”可知，与上一代人相比，现在在线交流更加普遍。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the“friends” on the social media for true friends in life.(然而，其他专家警告说，过多的在线交流可能会阻碍深厚友谊的形成。“如果我们总是关注虚拟世界，我们就没有时间和现实世界的友谊在一起。加州州立大学教授拉里·罗森说。罗森还担心，如今的孩子可能会把社交媒体上的“朋友”误认为是生活中的真正朋友)”可知，拉里·罗森认为过多的在线交流可能会阻碍深度友谊的形成，孩子们可能会错把社交媒体上的“朋友”当成真正的朋友，由此推知，他对在线交流持否定态度。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕社交媒体对友谊的影响展开讨论，既提到了在线交流对友谊的积极影响，也指出了可能存在的问题。B 选项“The Impact of Social Media on Friendships(社交媒体对友谊的影响)”符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选B项。 Passage10.Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift.

Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems. Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile. Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and make friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now. One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn’t remember doing so! It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back. 1．How did the author feel as a freshman at a middle school? A．Excited. B．Happy. C．Lonely. D．Disappointed. 2．When did the author feel unhappy? A．When seeing classmates talking with friends. B．When thinking of his favorite old classmates. C．When entering his classroom at a middle school. D．When seeing a handsome boy with a wide smile. 3．Why did the author think the smile changed his life? A．Because the author was used to the life of middle school. B．Because the author began to make friends with others. C．Because the author decided to make the boy his best friend. D．Because the author felt the warmth of a middle school life. 4．What did the author intend to convey through his experience? A．Stick to it until you finally succeed. B．Your efforts will be rewarded. C．Kill two birds with one stone. D．Treat the world with a smile. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者在上中学时由于一个男孩子的微笑从而鼓起勇气开始和同学们成为朋友的故事，通过这个故事作者领悟到只有微笑面对世界，才能赢得更多的微笑。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone.(结果，没人知道我是谁。我很孤独，不敢和任何人说话。)”可推知，作者在新入学的时候感到孤独。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems. Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual.(每次我听到其他学生有说有笑，我都感到心碎。我不能和任何人谈论我的问题。然后有一天，当我的同学和他们的朋友愉快地交谈时，我像往常一样不高兴地坐在我的桌子旁。)”可推知，当作者看到他的同学与朋友交谈时就会感到不开心。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and make friends.(那笑容改变了我的生活。我开始和其他学生交谈并交朋友。)”可推知，作者认为微笑改变了他的生活是因为作者开始和别人交朋友。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.(我相信世界就是你想象的那样。如果你认为孤独，那么你可能永远都是孤独的。所以对世界微笑，世界也会对你微笑。)”可知，作者想通过他的经历传达的是用微笑对待这个世界。故选D。 二、完形填空 Passage1.After graduation, I decided to take the gym seriously.

Long curtains surrounded my bed, 1 me from the other patients. Across the curtain, I heard a patient cheerfully 2 every nurse, as if welcoming each into his home. He always seemed happily and I never heard this man whisper a word about his own 3 . That night, thinking about how my schoolwork and activities would be 4 , I cried bitterly. I woke early the next morning, 5 of the uncertain days ahead. The 6 was soon broken by a quiet voice from behind the curtain. “Good morning,” the voice said 7 , clearly for me. “Are you doing okay?” The man must have heard my 8 the night before. We talked through the curtain, passing time. Every day he would greet me with cheer, “Good morning, Caroline. You are going to 9 this.” This stranger became my cheerleader and lift me up from my 10 . “Life is not always easy, but you have to 11 and look for the positive.” He always 12 me to find the best in all difficult situations. Days later I saw the old man for the first time. 13 his own ill health, he continued to coach me from his hospital bed in the days that followed.
