[对应学生用书P500] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·重庆名校联盟联考)My wife，Hannah，and I didn't usually keep houseplants.Anything in pots got either over­watered or under­watered and was finally thrown away.But after my diagnosis (诊断) with glioblastoma，a terminal brain cancer，I loved the idea of having something new and green around. My friend Mitch gave me a lucky bamboo plant in a deep­green pottery bowl.We placed the plant beside the living room window. I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself.When it didn't turn yellow or brown or lose all its leaves a fortnight later，I was kind of pleased.Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment. Glioblastoma limited my ability to walk，making it hard for me to accomplish everyday tasks.As a family physician，I was used to being the one who provided care instead of the one who received it—my diagnosis made me rely on help from other people—the great change left me unsettled.Watering the plant，small act though it was，taught me I could still be a caregiver. Later，after I recovered from surgery and completed chemotherapy (化疗)，I continued to care for the plant.Soon，it even doubled in height and its leaves were shiny.Both the tree and I were thriving (蓬勃发展). Whenever I look at the bamboo，I make a point to think of those who have cared for and supported me.Even if my cancer returns and the plant outlives me，I hope it will comfort Hannah and remind her that our large community will continue to care for her after I am gone. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。 作者身患脑癌后，养了一株竹子，护理这株竹子和竹子的茁壮成长让作者找到了自己曾经的价值。 1．What usually happened to the couple's houseplants? A．They were given away. B．They hardly survived. C．They grew quite well. D．They were properly cared for. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Anything in pots got either over­watered or under­watered and was finally thrown away.”可知，盆里的任何东西要么浇水过多，要么浇水不足，最后都被扔掉了。故可知，作者夫妇家里的植物通常情况下都没能被养活，故选B。 2．How did the author react when the plant remained healthy after two weeks? A．He had a sense of achievement. B．He suffered a sense of loss. C．He felt completely useless. D．He got encouraged. 解析　A　细节理解题。 根据第三段内容可知，两周后，当它没有变成黄色或棕色，也没有掉光所有的叶子时，作者有点高兴，照料这株植物给作者一种成就感。故选A。 3．Why did the author want to care for the bamboo himself? A．His wife was too busy. B．He had much time to kill. C．He hated to lose his old identity. D．He had gained better gardening skills. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，作者作为一名家庭医生，习惯于成为提供护理的人，而不是接受护理的人，而从得病之后作者成了被照顾的人，这样的身份转变让作者不安，照顾竹子让作者感到自己被需要，故C项正确，表示作者想要自己照顾这棵竹子是因为自己不想失去往日照顾者的身份。 4．What message does the author seem to convey in the last paragraph? A．Pride comes before a fall. B．It's family that matters most. C．Kindness is the key to a happy life. D．The world never lacks care and support. 解析　D　推理判断题。 最后一段谈到每当作者看着竹子时，作者都会想起那些照顾和支持自己的人。即使作者的癌症复发了，植物的寿命也超过了作者，作者希望它能安慰Hannah，并提醒她，在作者离开后，他们的大社区将继续照顾她。由此可推知，作者通过最后一段表达了“世界充满爱”的观点，即“这个世界从不缺少关心和支持”，故选D。 B (2024·南京、盐城二模) “Anxiety”．The very word invites discomfort.Its effects—shortness of breath，a pounding heart，muscle tension—are outright upsetting.But，as a clinician，I find that we tend to miss out on many valuable opportunities presented by this human emotion.In and of itself，anxiety is not deadly，nor is it a disease.Quite the contrary，it is an indicator of brain and sensory health.Once we accept that it is a normal，though uncomfortable，part of life，we can use it to help us. We all know working out at the gym is hard.By nature，a “good workout” is uncomfortable，since it involves pushing our physical strength past what we can easily do.The sweet spot of exercise is always a somewhat challenging experience.Similarly，if you want to be emotionally stronger，you need to face some tension.For example，one effective treatment for fear is exposure therapy(疗法)，which involves gradually encountering things that make one anxious，reducing fear over time. Humans are social creatures.When my patients learn to open up to their partners about their anxiety，they almost always report a greater sense of emotional closeness.Also，as international relationship expert Sue Johnson teaches，when we express our need for connection during challenging moments(e.g.，“I'm having a hard time right now and I really need your support”)，it creates greater connection and turns our anxiety into love. From time to time，we find ourselves at the end of our rope.Our responsibilities pile up，our resources break down，and we feel uncomfortably anxious—what we're experiencing is called stress.Simply put，the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources，just like a set of scales(天平) going out of balance.Focusing on work and pretending everything is OK only lead to disastrous results.Medical treatment for stress may function for a while，but it tends to make things worse in the long run.The only solution to deal with stress is to do the mathematics to balance the scales. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了对焦虑的正确认识应是什么：它会让人感到不适，但它本身并不是致命的，也不是一种疾病。恰恰相反，它是大脑和感官健康的一个指标。另外，文章还讲述了缓解压力的方法，如表达焦虑和增加可用资源等。 5．What does the author say about anxiety? A．It is an invitation to diseases. B．It indicates stable mental health. C．It costs us many valuable chances. D．It is a natural emotional expression. 解析　D　细节理解题。 根据第一段中的“In and of itself...it is an indicator of brain and sensory health”可知，焦虑本身并不是致命的，也不是一种疾病。恰恰相反，它是大脑和感官健康的一个指标。由此可知，作者认为焦虑是人类的一种自然的情感表达。故选D。 6．Why does the author mention “good workout” in paragraph 2? A．To prove how exercise influences emotions. B．To suggest an effective way to challenge limits. C．To explain how anxiety builds emotional strength. D．To show a positive connection between mind and body. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“By nature，a ‘good workout’ is uncomfortable...Similarly，if you want to be emotionally stronger，you need to face some tension”可知，作者认为“良好的锻炼”本质上是不舒服的，它涉及激发我们的身体潜能。锻炼的甜蜜点总是一种有挑战的经历。与此相似，若想情感上更强大就需要经历一些紧张(训练)。由此可知，作者提到良好的锻炼，是为了解释焦虑如何增强情感的力量的。故选C。 7．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The key to closeness is partners' support. B．Sharing anxiety improves relationships. C．Humans are defined by their social nature. D．Expressing feelings keeps us off anxiety. 解析　B　段落大意题。 第三段主要讲述了病人学着向配偶表达焦虑时他们中的绝大部分总会获得更大程度上的情感上的亲近；在有挑战性的时刻表达我们对于关系的需求会建立更强的情感关系，甚至可把我们的焦虑变成一种爱。由此可推知，第三段主要讲述了分享焦虑能够改善关系。故选B。 8．According to the last paragraph，how can we deal with stress? A．Devote more energy to our work. B．Increase resources available to us. C．Seek professional medical treatment. D．Master advanced mathematical skills. 解析　B　推理判断题。 根据最后一段中的“Simply put，the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources，just like a set of scales(天平) going out of balance”可知，简单地说，压力就是对我们的需求超过了可用的资源，导致失去平衡。再结合该段中的“The only solution to deal with stress is to do the mathematics to balance the scales”可推知，处理压力时，我们可增加可用的资源，利用数学计算进行平衡。故选B。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·济南一模)The 13­year­old girl Anna Grace is a volleyball manager，a basketball manager，and a theater volunteer，but perhaps her greatest 1 is the fact that she has beaten cancer twice.
