Unit 1 Knowing me,knowing you 单元话题阅读理解练习 基础语篇巩固练 （24-25高一上·湖南益阳·期末）Jake Lee Pinnick is busy preparing food, clothing and house decorations, putting up couplets and visiting friends with his family to celebrate the Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar NewYear. In 2010, the 32-year-old American traveled to the Wudang Mountains, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in central China’s Hubei Province, to learn martial arts. Pinnick said he was very interested in Chinese Kung Fu from a young age. When Pinnick first arrived in the Wudang Mountains, he had no earlier training or martial arts experience, so he began with a five-year training program, learning the basics and all aboutTaoist culture. Pinnick said the first six months were the hardest, because he had to train for eight or nine hours, six days a week, whatever the temperature outside. After over a decade of hard training, he has mastered various forms of Chinese Kung Fu, including Tai Chi and Qigong, and become a guider with about 200 apprentices (学徒) in China. This year is the 13th Spring Festival that Pinnick has spent in China. He likes the Spring Festival and the traditions here. He also teaches his daughter Selina Lee Pinnick these traditions. As the new year begins, people are starting new chapters in their lives and making resolutions. Pinnick also has many plans and wishes — he plans on making more efforts to learn the Chinese language this year. In addition to learning Chinese, Pinnick will continue to learn about traditional Chinese culture and how to play Chinese musical instruments in his leisure time, and he will share his experience on social media. “I think that the experience I’ve had, being a foreigner coming to China and learning the culture from outside, is unique. I hope to introduce Chinese Kung Fu and traditions to more westerners,” he said. 1．What was Pinnick’s main reason for traveling to the Wudang Mountains? A．To learn Chinese Kung Fu. B．To know about Taoist culture. C．To visit some places of interest. D．To celebrate the Spring Festival. 2．Which of the following best describes Pinnick? A．Well-rounded. B．Generous. C．Hardworking.

My first solo trip was to a small coastal town. As I arrived, I was immediately struck by the beauty of the ocean and the peace of the place. I rented a small bike and cycled along the coastal road. The feeling of the wind on my face and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore made me feel so alive. During my stay, I met a local artist. She showed me her studio filled with beautiful paintings inspired by the ocean and the town. Talking to her, I realized how much I loved art and how I wanted to explore my creative side. I started taking pictures of the town’s scenery, trying to capture the beauty I saw in my own way. Another memorable trip was to a mountainous area. The hike was challenging, with steep slopes and rocky paths. There were times when I wanted to give up, but I told myself to keep going. When I finally reached the top and saw the breathtaking view of the mountains stretching out in front of me, I felt a sense of accomplishment like never before. I learned that I was capable of much more than I thought and that perseverance (毅力) was key in achieving my goals. Traveling has also allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. In a foreign country, I had to communicate with people in a different language, figure out how to use public transportation, and deal with unexpected situations. These experiences made me more confident and independent. I realized that I could adapt to new environments and solve problems on my own.

From completing the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek (跋涉) at the age of nine to becoming the youngest person in the world to finish the tough Chadar Trek at eleven, Samya is a living testament to determination, perseverance, and a supportive family. Her father loves trekking and showed her photos of his previous treks. Inspired by her father, Samya took her first adventure in Manali at the young age of six. It was the beginning of a passion that would soon lead her to the Everest Base Camp at the tender age of nine. “That experience gave me the confidence to take on any challenge,” Samya said. Trekking comes with its share of hardships. From dehydration (脱水) at EBC to the bitter cold of the Chadar Trek, Samya has faced it all. The main problem was eating raw or undercooked food. The water wasn’t purified, so they used purification tablets. But that made it taste bitter, so they added sugar to make it drinkable. Samya learned a lesson that pain was an integral part of success, so Samya’s determination and willpower remained unshaken. Samya praises her parents for their solid support. Her father, who has been trekking for over 20 years, plays an important role in her preparation. “Every night, we would go walking as a family. We did exercises together. My father trains me and teaches the essentials of trekking,” she says. Her mother’s contribution is equally significant. “When I was small, my mother took me to yoga classes for my health and fitness. I’ve been doing yoga since I was five,” says Samya, who believes her yoga training has greatly enhanced her flexibility, breathing, and mental focus. Looking ahead, Samya looks to complete the highest peaks on each continent. She is also currently training for the following big adventure: the Aconcagua trek in Argentina, the highest peak in South America. Alongside trekking, she has also developed a passion for weightlifting and dreams of competing in the Olympics one day. 1．What happened to Samya at the age of six? A．She started her first trekking. B．She began her yoga training. C．She completed the EBC trek. D．She finished the Chadar Trek. 2．What did Samya mean in the fourth paragraph? A．Trekking needs detailed preparations.

A．A Successful Attempt to Climb A Peak B．A Girl Conquering Peaks Successfully C．An Accident Leading A Girl to Success D．A Climber Meeting Impossible Challenges 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述来自古吉拉特邦艾哈迈达巴德的12岁女孩Samya Maulik征服高峰的故事，Samya Maulik是决心、毅力和支持家庭的活生生的证明。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“Inspired by her father, Samya took her first adventure in Manali at the young age of six.(受到父亲的启发，Samya在六岁时就在马纳利开始了她的第一次冒险)”可知，Samya在六岁时开始了她的第一次徒步旅行。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“Samya praises her parents for their solid support. Her father, who has been trekking for over 20 years, plays an important role in her preparation. “Every night, we would go walking as a family. We did exercises together. My father trains me and teaches the essentials of trekking,” she says. Her mother’s contribution is equally significant. “When I was small, my mother took me to yoga classes for my health and fitness. I’ve been doing yoga since I was five,” says Samya, who believes her yoga training has greatly enhanced her flexibility, breathing, and mental focus.(萨米亚赞扬了父母的坚定支持。她的父亲已经徒步旅行了20多年，在她的准备过程中发挥了重要作用。她说：“每天晚上，我们全家都会去散步。我们一起做运动。我父亲训练我，教我徒步旅行的要领。”。她母亲的贡献同样重要。“我小时候，妈妈带我去上瑜伽课是为了我的健康和健身。我从五岁起就一直在做瑜伽，”Samya说，她相信她的瑜伽训练大大提高了她的灵活性、呼吸能力和精神专注力)”可推断，Samya在第四段的意思是她感激父母的支持。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“She is also currently training for the following big adventure: the Aconcagua trek in Argentina, the highest peak in South America.(她目前正在为接下来的大冒险进行训练：攀登阿根廷的阿空加瓜山，这是南美洲的最高峰)”可知，Samya接下来的目标是征服阿空加瓜山的徒步旅行。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中的“From completing the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek (跋涉) at the age of nine to becoming the youngest person in the world to finish the tough Chadar Trek at eleven, Samya is a living testament to determination, perseverance, and a supportive family.(从九岁完成珠峰大本营徒步旅行，到十一岁成为世界上完成艰难查达徒步旅行的最年轻的人，Samya是决心、毅力和家庭支持的生动证明)”可知，文章主要讲述了Samya Maulik成功征服高峰的故事，所以最适合本文的标题是“A Girl Conquering Peaks Successfully”（一个成功征服高峰的女孩）。故选B。 （24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末）My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak, Tintin, and Archie. They enabled me to enjoy myself in a world without iPads and the Internet — just like so many of my friends who were fond of reading. While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read. Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I found the idea of reading text-only novels quite formidable. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex stories through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. And so, as I grew older, I found myself turning to graphic novels from childish comic books. Graphic novels dealt with serious topics in a more engaging manner. They would literally show me what was going on. For example, when I was reading Joe Sacco’s Palestine, I didn’t have to imagine the ruin caused by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I could actually see it while reading about it. Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of Jonathan Bloomfield’s Palestine: A Novel. Though I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his book, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Sacco’s Palestine first. Thanks to the graphic novel, I had a “picture” of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the whole story. While my romance with comic books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for graphic novels is much stronger and here to stay. 1．Why did the author start reading comic books as a child? A．He found comic books interesting. B．He couldn’t go to bookstores. C．He wanted to be different from his friends. D．He had limited access to other books. 2．Which word can best explain the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 27 A．Acceptable. B．Natural. C．Difficult. D．Interesting. 3．What does the author say about reading Sacco’s Palestine? A．It changed his attitude to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. B．It made his understanding of Bloomfield’s book easier. C．It encouraged him to read more text-only novels. D．It prepared him to write in a more serious way. 4．What does the author mainly talk about in the passage? A．Comic books are more an just pictures. B．Why he loves reading graphic novels. C．Why he turned to serious novels eventually. D．Picture books are here to stay for many reasons. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者从小对漫画书的喜爱，随着成长转向图文小说，阐述了喜欢图文小说的原因。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak, Tintin, and Archie. (我最初对漫画世界的探索是从报纸上的连环画开始的。这始于对加菲猫及其冒险故事的喜爱，并由此发现了一系列漫画书，如《昌帕克》《丁丁历险记》和《阿奇》)”可知，作者小时候开始读漫画书是因为他觉得漫画书有趣。故选A项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Having grown up on a diet of image heavy books, I found the idea of reading text only novels quite formidable.(从小看了大量以图片为主的书，我觉得读纯文字小说的想法相当……)”以及后文“As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between(当我寻找介于两者之间的书时)”可推知，作者习惯了图片多的书，所以觉得读纯文字小说有难度，才会寻找介于两者之间的书。所以划线词“formidable”意思是“困难的”，与“Difficult”同义。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Though I was impressed by the compelling nature of storytelling in his book, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text only version so much had I not read Sacco’s Palestine first. Thanks to the graphic novel, I had a ‘picture’ of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the whole story.(虽然我对他书中引人入胜的叙事方式印象深刻，但我不确定如果我没有先读萨科的《巴勒斯坦》，我是否能如此生动地想象并享受他那纯文字版的书。多亏了这本图文小说，我对发生的一切有了一个‘画面’，这让理解整个故事的细节变得更容易、更有趣)”可知，读萨科的《巴勒斯坦》让作者对发生的一切有了一个‘画面’，让他更容易理解布卢姆菲尔德的书。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“And so, as I grew older, I found myself turning to graphic novels from childish comic books.(所以，随着年龄的增长，我发现自己从幼稚的漫画书转向了图文小说)”、第三段中“Graphic novels dealt with serious topics in a more engaging manner. They would literally show me what was going on.(图文小说以更引人入胜的方式处理严肃的话题。它们能让我直观地看到发生了什么)”、第四段中“Thanks to the graphic novel, I had a ‘picture’ of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the whole story.(多亏了这本图文小说，我对发生的一切有了一个‘画面’，这让理解整个故事的细节变得更容易、更有趣)”和最后一段中“While my romance with comic books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for graphic novels is much stronger and here to stay.(虽然我与漫画书的爱情仍在继续，但从长远来看，我对图文小说的爱要强烈得多，而且会一直持续下去)”可知，文章重点阐述了作者对图文小说的喜欢和原因。由此可知，B项“他为什么喜欢读图文小说”能概括文章内容。故选B项。 （24-25高一下·上海长宁·阶段练习）I often liked to play tricks on people at MIT. One time, in mechanical drawing class, someone picked up a French curve (曲线板) and said, “I wonder if the curves on this thing have some special formula?” I thought for a moment and said, “Sure they do. The curves are very special. Let me show you.” I picked up my French curve and began to turn it slowly. “The French curve is made so that at the lowest point on each curve, no matter how you turn it, the tangent (切线) is horizontal.” All the guys in the class held their french curves up at different angles, placing their pencils at the lowest point, and discovered that the tangent was indeed horizontal. They were all excited by this “discovery” — even though they had already learned in calculus (微积分) that the derivative (切线的斜率) of the minimum of any curve is zero. They didn’t connect the two ideas. Their knowledge was so fragile! I did a similar trick four years later at Princeton. I was talking with an assistant of Einstein, who worked with gravity all the time. I gave him a problem: You blast off in a rocket with a clock on board, and there’s a clock on the ground. You have to return when the ground clock says one hour has passed. You want your clock to be as far ahead as possible. According to Einstein, if you go very high, your clock goes faster because the higher something is in a gravitational field, the faster its clock goes. But if you go too high, you have to go so fast that the speed slows your clock down. So you can’t go too high. The question is, what program of speed and height should you make to get the maximum time on your clock? The assistant worked on it for a while before realizing the answer is the real motion of matter. If you shoot something up normally, so that the time it takes to go up and come down is an hour, that’s the correct motion. It’s the fundamental principle of Einstein’s gravity — the “proper time” is at a maximum for the actual curve. But when I presented it to him, he didn’t recognize it. It was like the guys in mechanical drawing class, but this time it wasn’t freshmen. This fragility is fairly common, even among learned people. 1．What did the students in the mechanical drawing class discover about the French curve? A．The curves on the French curve were designed to follow a specific mathematical pattern. B．The tangent at the lowest point of the curve was always horizontal, no matter how it was turned. C．The French curve could only be used to draw straight lines. D．The curves on the French curve were related to basic calculus principles. 2．The author describes certain kind of knowledge as “fragile” or “fragility”, and which of the following words is closest in meaning to “fragile” in this context? A．Delicate. B．Complex. C．Solid. D．Precise. 3．How would the author most likely view Einstein’s assistant? A．He is a creative thinker but takes time to apply his knowledge effectively. B．He lacks a deep understanding of Einstein’s theories and often makes mistakes. C．He is confident but initially struggles to connect his knowledge to practical problems. D．He is knowledgeable but struggles to apply his knowledge in practical situations. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是作者通过法国曲线的例子和爱因斯坦助手的例子指出了人们在知识理解和实际运用之间的差距，以及知识在不同情景下的脆弱性。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“All the guys in the class held their french curves up at different angles, placing their pencils at the lowest point, and discovered that the tangent was indeed horizontal.(班上的所有同学都把他们的曲线板以不同的角度举起，将铅笔放在曲线的最低点，发现切线确实呈水平状态)”可知机械制图课上的学生发现无论曲线如何转动，它最低点的切线始终是水平的，故选B项。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中“They were all excited by this “discovery” — even though they had already learned in calculus (微积分) that the derivative (切线的斜率) of the minimum of any curve is zero. They didn’t connect the two ideas.(他们都对这个“发现”感到兴奋——尽管他们在微积分中已经学过，任何曲线的最小值的导数都是零。他们没有把这两个想法联系起来)”以及文章最后一段中“But when I presented it to him, he didn’t recognize it. It was like the guys in mechanical drawing class, but this time it wasn’t freshmen.(但当我拿给他看时，他没认出来。就像机械制图课上的男生一样，但这次不是大一新生)”可知，这些人虽然学过相关知识，但却不能将知识联系起来应用，说明他们的知识是不牢固的、脆弱的，所以划线词fragile的意思与A项delicate(脆弱的，易碎的)意思相近，故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“The assistant worked on it for a while before realizing the answer is the real motion of matter.(助手研究了一会儿，才意识到答案是物质的真实运动)”以及“But when I presented it to him, he didn’t recognize it. It was like the guys in mechanical drawing class, but this time it wasn’t freshmen. This fragility is fairly common, even among learned people. (但当我拿给他看时，他没认出来。就像机械制图课上的男生一样，但这次不是大一新生。这种脆弱是相当普遍的，即使在有学问的人中也是如此)”可知爱因斯坦助手在处理问题时虽然最终找到了答案，但是一开始并没有认出这是物质的真实运动，这表明他虽然有知识，但是在将知识运用到实际中时遇到了困难，由此可推知作者认为爱因斯坦的助手虽然知识渊博，但很难将知识运用到实际情况中，故选D项。 （24-25高一下·湖北武汉·阶段练习）It was a September afternoon. The air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the cove, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy on my skin. Dad swam nearby a cove, diving into a splash of front crawl, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater. There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all. My love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I felt the cold ocean’s press on my cheeks and my eyelids, and knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin. Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with chronic acne and unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t. But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within — the muffled quiet of the underwater world—were fuel for the next chapter of my life. This would be my yardstick. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water whenever it called. That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unlearning of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. To pay attention, each time I sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation. 1．What did the author realize during her underwater moment? A．She wanted to become a professional swimmer. B．She needed to find a way to control her appearance better. C．She missed the freedom and joy of diving and swimming. D．She decided to avoid swimming forever. 2．The author avoided swimming for seven years because ________. A．She had no access to the cove. B．She had to receive treatments. C．She hated to reapply her makeup. D．She felt insecure without makeup. 3．How did the author feel after she returned from the diving? A．Hesitant. B．Resolved. C．Proud. D．Joyful. 4．What can be inferred from Paragraph 5? A．You can’t judge a book by its cover. B．Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. C．Self-acceptance is the greatest gift. D．Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位女性因青少年时期的容貌焦虑而多年避免游泳，直到某次海边潜水的经历让她重拾对水的喜爱，并开始逐步克服自我意识过强的问题，学会接受真实的自己。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all. My love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I felt the cold ocean’s press on my cheeks and my eyelids, and knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin.(在那里，悬浮在波光粼粼的水面下，我想起了这一切。我对潜水、游泳、河流和湖泊的热爱。我感觉到冰冷的海水压在我的脸颊和眼睑上，又一次知道了那种感觉：自由自在，完全沉浸在自己的身体里。)”可知，作者在水下时意识到她怀念潜水和游泳带来的自由和快乐。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with chronic acne and unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t.(虽然我一直热爱水，但在那一天之前的七年里，我一直远离这样的时刻。我很害怕。长期以来，我一直在与慢性痤疮和无效的治疗作斗争，以及承受着少女对外表的压力，我完全依赖于我的化妆品。我需要完全控制自己的外表，而游泳意味着洗掉这种控制。我不认同自己素颜和自然的样子。我深深地讨厌它，尽管我比任何事情都希望自己不讨厌。)”可知，作者七年不游泳是因为没有化妆让她感到没有安全感。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn.(生活不会在一瞬间改变：我带着同样的恐惧回到岸边，但我给自己披上了一种新的决心，要改变现状。我感觉到了转机。)”可知，作者潜水回来后是有决心的。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段“That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body—a slow unlearning of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn.(那一天是我缓慢但坚定地回归自我身体的开始 —— 慢慢摆脱我深深的自我意识。生活不会在一瞬间改变：我带着同样的恐惧回到岸边，但我给自己披上了一种新的决心，要改变现状。我感觉到了转机。)”可知，作者开始接受自己，意识到自我接纳是很重要的，这是她最大的收获。故选C项。 （24-25高一上·广西钦州·期末）I was attracted to Spanish and had lived in Spain for many years. When I returned to my home in the UK, I spoke less Spanish as a result. Although these things were mostly unrelated, they were connected. I didn’t realize at the time, but speaking Spanish was actually a way to take care of myself. I was trapped by anxious thoughts, and finally, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD (强迫症). When my OCD worsened, I often struggled with my thoughts. Breaking the cycle of repetitive thoughts on a good day is impossibly hard. On a bad day, it’s simply not possible. It’s like my mind is trying to do too many things at once. This makes recovery challenging since it’s hard to find something that truly catches my attention and pulls me from my worrying thoughts. One day, soon after my diagnosis, I met a Colombian friend at a supermarket. We talked while waiting in line. During our conversation, I noticed something amazing: I was so focused on him that I wasn’t thinking about anything else. This made me realize why I have always loved languages. When I speak Spanish, I feel happier and more relaxed, almost as if I am communicating in my native language. Recognizing the connection between speaking Spanish and finding mental (精神的) peace felt like discovering a superpower. If I can’t find someone to speak Spanish with, I listen to English songs and translate them in my mind, which helps me relax. I often watch Spanish movies and listen to my favorite Spanish music. This helps me keep my concern at a manageable level. It’s easy to list the most obvious advantages of learning languages. You’ll be able to communicate when travelling abroad, and you’ll build friendships. But, for me, Spanish has always been about feeling good more than anything else. And that’s what truly matters. 1．What happened to the author when he returned to the UK? A．He lost his home. B．He became relaxed. C．He suffered worry. D．He forgot the past. 2．How did the conversation with a Colombian friend affect the author? A．He felt quite lonely. B．He started learning English. C．He disliked going shopping. D．He found inner peace. 3．Why does the author listen to Spanish music? A．It helps him create songs. B．It improves his mental health. C．It makes his daily life busy. D．It pushes him to do a better job. 4．What does the author think of learning Spanish? A．It is helpful. B．It is difficult. C．It is relaxing. D．It is annoying. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者回到英国后因患强迫症而饱受困扰，与哥伦比亚朋友的交谈让他意识到说西班牙语能带来内心平静，学西班牙语对他很有帮助。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was trapped by anxious thoughts, and finally, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a type of obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD (强迫症).

This made me realize why I have always loved languages. When I speak Spanish, I feel happier and more relaxed, almost as if I am communicating in my native language.(在我们交谈的时候，我注意到了一件惊人的事情：我太专注于他了，以至于我没有想其他任何事情。这让我明白了为什么我一直热爱语言。当我说西班牙语时，我感到更快乐、更放松，几乎就像在用我的母语交流一样)”可知，与哥伦比亚朋友的交谈让作者找到了内心的平静。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“If I can’t find someone to speak Spanish with, I listen to English songs and translate them in my mind, which helps me relax. I often watch Spanish movies and listen to my favorite Spanish music. This helps me keep my concern at a manageable level.(如果我找不到说西班牙语的人，我就听英文歌曲并在脑海中翻译它们，这有助于我放松。我经常看西班牙电影，听我最喜欢的西班牙音乐。这有助于我将担忧控制在可管理的水平)”可知，作者听西班牙音乐是因为这能改善他的心理健康。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段中“When I speak Spanish, I feel happier and more relaxed, almost as if I am communicating in my native language.(当我说西班牙语时，我感到更快乐、更放松，几乎就像我在用母语交流一样)”及第四段中的“If I can’t find someone to speak Spanish with, I listen to English songs and translate them in my mind, which helps me relax.(如果我找不到能说西班牙语的人，我会听英文歌曲并在脑海中翻译它们，这有助于我放松)”可推知，作者认为学习西班牙语是令人放松的。故选C项。 （24-25高一上·湖南衡阳·期末）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. 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.

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。 重难语篇拔高练 （24-25高一下·安徽·开学考试）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。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 1 Knowing me,knowing you 单元话题阅读理解练习 基础语篇巩固练 （24-25高一上·湖南益阳·期末）Jake Lee Pinnick is busy preparing food, clothing and house decorations, putting up couplets and visiting friends with his family to celebrate the Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar NewYear. In 2010, the 32-year-old American traveled to the Wudang Mountains, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in central China’s Hubei Province, to learn martial arts.

My first solo trip was to a small coastal town. As I arrived, I was immediately struck by the beauty of the ocean and the peace of the place. I rented a small bike and cycled along the coastal road. The feeling of the wind on my face and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore made me feel so alive. During my stay, I met a local artist. She showed me her studio filled with beautiful paintings inspired by the ocean and the town. Talking to her, I realized how much I loved art and how I wanted to explore my creative side. I started taking pictures of the town’s scenery, trying to capture the beauty I saw in my own way. Another memorable trip was to a mountainous area. The hike was challenging, with steep slopes and rocky paths. There were times when I wanted to give up, but I told myself to keep going. When I finally reached the top and saw the breathtaking view of the mountains stretching out in front of me, I felt a sense of accomplishment like never before. I learned that I was capable of much more than I thought and that perseverance (毅力) was key in achieving my goals. Traveling has also allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. In a foreign country, I had to communicate with people in a different language, figure out how to use public transportation, and deal with unexpected situations. These experiences made me more confident and independent. I realized that I could adapt to new environments and solve problems on my own.

From completing the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek (跋涉) at the age of nine to becoming the youngest person in the world to finish the tough Chadar Trek at eleven, Samya is a living testament to determination, perseverance, and a supportive family. Her father loves trekking and showed her photos of his previous treks. Inspired by her father, Samya took her first adventure in Manali at the young age of six. It was the beginning of a passion that would soon lead her to the Everest Base Camp at the tender age of nine. “That experience gave me the confidence to take on any challenge,” Samya said. Trekking comes with its share of hardships. From dehydration (脱水) at EBC to the bitter cold of the Chadar Trek, Samya has faced it all. The main problem was eating raw or undercooked food. The water wasn’t purified, so they used purification tablets. But that made it taste bitter, so they added sugar to make it drinkable. Samya learned a lesson that pain was an integral part of success, so Samya’s determination and willpower remained unshaken. Samya praises her parents for their solid support. Her father, who has been trekking for over 20 years, plays an important role in her preparation. “Every night, we would go walking as a family. We did exercises together. My father trains me and teaches the essentials of trekking,” she says. Her mother’s contribution is equally significant. “When I was small, my mother took me to yoga classes for my health and fitness. I’ve been doing yoga since I was five,” says Samya, who believes her yoga training has greatly enhanced her flexibility, breathing, and mental focus. Looking ahead, Samya looks to complete the highest peaks on each continent. She is also currently training for the following big adventure: the Aconcagua trek in Argentina, the highest peak in South America. Alongside trekking, she has also developed a passion for weightlifting and dreams of competing in the Olympics one day. 1．What happened to Samya at the age of six? A．She started her first trekking.

It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak, Tintin, and Archie. They enabled me to enjoy myself in a world without iPads and the Internet — just like so many of my friends who were fond of reading. While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read. Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I found the idea of reading text-only novels quite formidable. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex stories through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. And so, as I grew older, I found myself turning to graphic novels from childish comic books. Graphic novels dealt with serious topics in a more engaging manner. They would literally show me what was going on. For example, when I was reading Joe Sacco’s Palestine, I didn’t have to imagine the ruin caused by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I could actually see it while reading about it. Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of Jonathan Bloomfield’s Palestine: A Novel. Though I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his book, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Sacco’s Palestine first. Thanks to the graphic novel, I had a “picture” of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the whole story. While my romance with comic books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for graphic novels is much stronger and here to stay. 1．Why did the author start reading comic books as a child? A．He found comic books interesting. B．He couldn’t go to bookstores. C．He wanted to be different from his friends. D．He had limited access to other books. 2．Which word can best explain the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 27 A．Acceptable. B．Natural. C．Difficult. D．Interesting. 3．What does the author say about reading Sacco’s Palestine? A．It changed his attitude to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. B．It made his understanding of Bloomfield’s book easier. C．It encouraged him to read more text-only novels. D．It prepared him to write in a more serious way. 4．What does the author mainly talk about in the passage? A．Comic books are more an just pictures. B．Why he loves reading graphic novels. C．Why he turned to serious novels eventually. D．Picture books are here to stay for many reasons. （24-25高一下·上海长宁·阶段练习）I often liked to play tricks on people at MIT. One time, in mechanical drawing class, someone picked up a French curve (曲线板) and said, “I wonder if the curves on this thing have some special formula?” I thought for a moment and said, “Sure they do. The curves are very special. Let me show you.” I picked up my French curve and began to turn it slowly. “The French curve is made so that at the lowest point on each curve, no matter how you turn it, the tangent (切线) is horizontal.” All the guys in the class held their french curves up at different angles, placing their pencils at the lowest point, and discovered that the tangent was indeed horizontal. They were all excited by this “discovery” — even though they had already learned in calculus (微积分) that the derivative (切线的斜率) of the minimum of any curve is zero. They didn’t connect the two ideas. Their knowledge was so fragile! I did a similar trick four years later at Princeton. I was talking with an assistant of Einstein, who worked with gravity all the time. I gave him a problem: You blast off in a rocket with a clock on board, and there’s a clock on the ground. You have to return when the ground clock says one hour has passed. You want your clock to be as far ahead as possible. According to Einstein, if you go very high, your clock goes faster because the higher something is in a gravitational field, the faster its clock goes. But if you go too high, you have to go so fast that the speed slows your clock down. So you can’t go too high. The question is, what program of speed and height should you make to get the maximum time on your clock? The assistant worked on it for a while before realizing the answer is the real motion of matter. If you shoot something up normally, so that the time it takes to go up and come down is an hour, that’s the correct motion. It’s the fundamental principle of Einstein’s gravity — the “proper time” is at a maximum for the actual curve. But when I presented it to him, he didn’t recognize it. It was like the guys in mechanical drawing class, but this time it wasn’t freshmen. This fragility is fairly common, even among learned people. 1．What did the students in the mechanical drawing class discover about the French curve? A．The curves on the French curve were designed to follow a specific mathematical pattern. B．The tangent at the lowest point of the curve was always horizontal, no matter how it was turned. C．The French curve could only be used to draw straight lines. D．The curves on the French curve were related to basic calculus principles. 2．The author describes certain kind of knowledge as “fragile” or “fragility”, and which of the following words is closest in meaning to “fragile” in this context? A．Delicate. B．Complex. C．Solid. D．Precise. 3．How would the author most likely view Einstein’s assistant? A．He is a creative thinker but takes time to apply his knowledge effectively. B．He lacks a deep understanding of Einstein’s theories and often makes mistakes. C．He is confident but initially struggles to connect his knowledge to practical problems. D．He is knowledgeable but struggles to apply his knowledge in practical situations. （24-25高一下·湖北武汉·阶段练习）It was a September afternoon. The air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the cove, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy on my skin. Dad swam nearby a cove, diving into a splash of front crawl, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater. There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all. My love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I felt the cold ocean’s press on my cheeks and my eyelids, and knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin. Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with chronic acne and unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t. But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within — the muffled quiet of the underwater world—were fuel for the next chapter of my life. This would be my yardstick. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water whenever it called. That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unlearning of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. To pay attention, each time I sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation. 1．What did the author realize during her underwater moment?

Although these things were mostly unrelated, they were connected. I didn’t realize at the time, but speaking Spanish was actually a way to take care of myself. I was trapped by anxious thoughts, and finally, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD (强迫症). When my OCD worsened, I often struggled with my thoughts. Breaking the cycle of repetitive thoughts on a good day is impossibly hard. On a bad day, it’s simply not possible. It’s like my mind is trying to do too many things at once. This makes recovery challenging since it’s hard to find something that truly catches my attention and pulls me from my worrying thoughts. One day, soon after my diagnosis, I met a Colombian friend at a supermarket. We talked while waiting in line. During our conversation, I noticed something amazing: I was so focused on him that I wasn’t thinking about anything else. This made me realize why I have always loved languages. When I speak Spanish, I feel happier and more relaxed, almost as if I am communicating in my native language. Recognizing the connection between speaking Spanish and finding mental (精神的) peace felt like discovering a superpower. If I can’t find someone to speak Spanish with, I listen to English songs and translate them in my mind, which helps me relax. I often watch Spanish movies and listen to my favorite Spanish music. This helps me keep my concern at a manageable level. It’s easy to list the most obvious advantages of learning languages. You’ll be able to communicate when travelling abroad, and you’ll build friendships. But, for me, Spanish has always been about feeling good more than anything else. And that’s what truly matters. 1．What happened to the author when he returned to the UK? A．He lost his home. B．He became relaxed. C．He suffered worry. D．He forgot the past. 2．How did the conversation with a Colombian friend affect the author? A．He felt quite lonely. B．He started learning English. C．He disliked going shopping. D．He found inner peace. 3．Why does the author listen to Spanish music? A．It helps him create songs. B．It improves his mental health. C．It makes his daily life busy. D．It pushes him to do a better job. 4．What does the author think of learning Spanish? A．It is helpful. B．It is difficult. C．It is relaxing. D．It is annoying. （24-25高一上·湖南衡阳·期末）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.

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 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
