Over the years,you've probably known a good number of people—some for only a short period and others for a much longer time.If you spend a moment thinking back on the people who have meant the very most to you,selflessness will be the same thing they share.There might have been a person who really believed in you.Someone taught you something important.Someone cared for you in his or her own way.Someone has simply always remained your friend.
Many years ago,I traveled through the beautiful,historyrich country of Greece.With only a small backpack,I stayed at youth hotels,visiting city after city.One day,a shoulder strap on my backpack broke.I didn't speak any Greek and the owner didn't speak any English.I went to the front desk of my hotel and tried to ask him if there might be a shop nearby where I could have it repaired.He was clearly very busy.But he asked someone to watch over the front desk and then signed to me to follow him.We walked together for a few blocks,arriving at a little shoe repair shop.Within ten minutes,my backpack was repaired,and then the hotel owner insisted on paying for it!
I was shocked by this powerful,unexpected kindness.More than any other thing,it's what I recall most often when I think about my trip to Greece.Sometimes,you may not have even realized how much your selflessness toward someone has mattered.As the saying goes,“To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.”

Hidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earth's astonishing and diverse plant life,there exists a biological superhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the “wood wide web”.
The network is comprised of thin threads of fungus (真菌) that grow outwards underground up to a few meters from its partnering plant,meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another.The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved,plants provide carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to the funguses and in exchange,the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.
A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of the South China Agricultural University found that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm.The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger.
Like our Internet,this fungal connectivity is also full of crime.Some plants,such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light.Other plants,such as the Phantom Orchid,do not have the chlorophyll(叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.
Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients through the network,allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on; however,this has not been conclusively made clear in experimentation.The more we learn about this phenomenon,the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change.Perhaps one day,we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.

9.The criminal behavior of plants can be seen as a way to .
A.compete for survival
B.gather more water
C.take in sunlight
D.break natural rules
A [推理判断题。根据文章的第四段“Like our Internet,this fungal connectivity is also full of crime...Other plants,such as the Phantom Orchid,do not have the chlorophyll (叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.”可知,有些植物释放毒素是给自己获得营养的。由此推断,植物的犯罪行为可以看作是一种生存竞争的方式。]
10.What does the last paragraph suggest?
A.Animals can also feed on the fungus.
B.Nutrient exchanges are too slight to detect.
C.No experiment can prove the phenomenon.
D.More needs to be done to work out the network.
D [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“The more we learn about this phenomenon,the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change.Perhaps one day,we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.”可推断,最后一段就是暗示需要做更多的工作来解决植物的网络问题。]
11.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.The Partnership between Plants
B.The Unknown Roots of Earth
C.The Superhighway Linking the Plants
D.The Mysterious Map Changing the World
C [标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了将植物王国成员连接在一起的高速公路。]

The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists(人类学家).Descriptions like “Paleolithic(旧石器时代) Man”,“Neolithic(新石器时代) Man”,etc.,neatly sum up whole periods.When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentyfirst century,they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”.Histories of the time will go something like this:“In the twentyfirst century,people forgot how to use their legs.Men and women moved about in cars,buses and trains from a very early age.There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking.And the surprising thing is that they didn't use their legs even when they went on holiday.They built cable railways,skilifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain.All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of large car parks.”
The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes.In our hurry to get from one place to another,we failed to see anything on the way.Air travel gives you a bird'seye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way.When you travel by car or train,the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window.When you mention the most impressive placenames in the world,the typical 21st century traveler always says“I've been there.”—meaning“I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”
When you travel at high speeds,the present means nothing:you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place.But actual arrival,when it is achieved,is meaningless.You want to move on again.By traveling like this,you skip all experience.The traveler on foot,on the other hand,lives in the present.For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing:he arrives somewhere with every step he makes.He experiences the present moment with his eyes,his ears and the whole of his body.At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness.Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.
[语篇解读] 由于种种现代化交通设施,人们不需要用脚走路,甚至也不需要用眼看景,出门就坐汽车、公交车、地铁、飞机等等。这些交通方式速度飞快,外边的景物难以看清,最终导致人们忘记用脚、用眼看风景,成为“无脚之人”,什么都经历不到。作者建议最佳的旅游方法是徒步。
12.Anthropologists name man nowadays “Legless Man” because .
A.people prefer cars,buses and trains
B.people travel without using legs
C.lifts prevent people from walking
D.people use their legs less and less
D [推理判断题。根据第一段后半部分可知,人类学家把以往年代的人们分别标上旧石器时代、新石器时代人,等等。干脆利落地总结了一个时期。当他们转向21世纪,他们肯定会标上“无脚的人”。因为在21世纪,人们忘了如何用脚走路。男人女人早晚外出都坐车、公共汽车、火车。大楼里有电梯、自动扶梯,不需要人们走路。即使度假期间,他们也不用脚。他们筑有缆车道、滑雪电梯和直通山顶的路。所有的风景旅游区都有大型的汽车停车场。因此推断人类学家给如今的人命名为“无脚的人”是因为人们越来越少地使用自己的脚。]
13.According to the passage,what might make people lose the right of using their eyes?
A.The modern means of transportation.
B.A bird'seye view of the world.
C.The unclear sight from the vehicles.
D.The fastpaced life style.
A [推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,未来的历史书也许会记录下我们也失去了用眼的权利,由一个地方匆忙转向另一地方时,路上我们什么都没有见到。乘飞机你只能俯视世界,火车,汽车,只见外界朦胧景象掠过窗子。海上旅游,只见到海。“我到过那里”此话含义就是“我以一小时一百英里在去某某地方时经过那里”。因此推断现代交通工具让人们失去了用眼的权利。]
14.From the passage,we know traveling at high speeds means .
A.appreciating beautiful scenery
B.experiencing life skills
C.focusing on the next destination
D.feeling physical tiredness
C [推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“When you travel at high speeds,the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place.”可知,当你高速旅行时,现在就是零,因为你大部分时间盯在前面到达的某个地方,因此你总是生活在未来。真到了目的地,又没有意义了,你还要再向前进。因此推断高速旅行的意思是人们总是集中在下一个目的地。]
15.What does the author intend to tell us?
A.Modern transportation devices have replaced legs.
B.Traveling makes the world a small place.
C.Human's history develops very fast.
D.The best way to travel is on foot.
D [写作意图题。纵观全文可知,文章一、二段分别讲述了现代旅行可不用脚、不用眼等情况。第三段讲述人们只知向前向前,一切经历都停滞,现实不再是现实。而用脚走路的旅行者总是生活在现在,对他来说旅行和到达是一回事,他一步一步走到某地,用眼睛、耳朵,以至整个身体去体验每一时刻。旅行结束后,他虽然身体疲劳,但是心情愉悦,然后可以美美地享受酣睡。这一切都是真正旅行者的报酬。因此推断作者写文章的目的是告诉读者走路是旅行的最佳方式。]
Ⅱ.七选五
(2022·全国甲卷)
Important Things to Know When Dining Out
Cultural dining etiquette (礼节) might surprise you with some of its important rules. 16 . Knowing some tips will help ensure that you have an enjoyable meal with friends or family—no matter where you are in the world.
Chopstick Rules
The way you handle chopsticks is important to avoid annoying your companions. When you put them down between bites, always put them down together so they are parallel with the edge of the table in front of you. 17 .
Hands or Utensils (餐具)
In India and the Middle East, it's considered very rude to eat with your left hand. People in France expect you to eat with a utensil in each hand. 18 , instead preferring to use their hands. In Chile, you may never touch any food with your fingers. People in Thailand generally use their forks only to push food onto their spoons.
Making Requests
19 . In Portugal, this would be a serious mistake, because it shows the chef that you don't like their seasoning skills. Similarly, in Italy, never ask for extra cheese to add to your food.
Some of these cultural dining etiquette rules may seem random and strange, but they are important in various countries. 20 , the more comfortable you'll begin to feel with its foreign cultural practices.
A.The more friends you make in your lifetime
B.The more time you spend in any given country
C.Mexicans consider it inappropriate to eat with utensils
D.Don't get caught making an embarrassing mistake at a restaurant
E.It's a good sign for the chef if you make a mess around your plate
F.Never stick them upright in your food or cross them as you use them
G.It may seem like a simple request to ask for salt and pepper at a meal
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在不同国家就餐时需要注意的一些事情,如餐具的使用、如何发出请求等。
16.D [空前一句讲到了“与文化有关的用餐礼仪中的一些重要规则可能会让你大为惊讶”,空后一句则讲到了“知道一些窍门儿有助于确保你用餐愉快”。因此,空处讲到的应该是不要让别人发现你在餐馆犯下令人难堪的错误,故D项符合语境。]
17.F [结合常识可以判断,F项“Never stick them upright in your food or cross them as you use them”中的三个“them”指的都是chopsticks,且F项讲到的是筷子礼仪,符合本段主题。]
18.C [结合空前的“In India and the Middle East...in France...hand.”和空后的“In Chile...their spoons.”可知,空处讲到的应该也是某个国家的风俗,选项中符合语境的只有C项,且C项与空后的“instead preferring to use their hands”形成对比,故C项符合语境。]
19.G [结合小标题“Making Requests”可知,本段主要讲到了在就餐时发出请求,G项的“a simple request”符合语境,且是空后一句中的“this”指代的内容,故选G项。]
20.B [根据空后的“the more comfortable...practices”可知,此处是固定句型“the+比较级,the+比较级”,由此锁定选项A和B。结合语境可知,你在特定的国家待的时间越长,你就会对它的文化习俗感到越自在,故B项符合语境。]

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Obaida Omar以及“和平晚宴”帮助中东地区受战乱影响的孩子们重返校园的故事。
36.narrowly [考查副词。句意:Obaida Omar还是个孩子的时候,她在山里走了几个星期,侥幸逃脱了敌人对她的祖国阿富汗的入侵。修饰动词escaped应用副词。故填narrowly。]

Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest.Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure.When the final bell rang,the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day.“Enjoy your extra day off,”said the teacher to her class.
An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine.She loved breaks.She wanted to go out to play with her friends.When the school bus dropped Kayla off,she ran into the house happily.
“How was school,Kayla?” asked her mom.
“It was great,Mom.I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago.Already in need of a break,huh?”asked Kayla's mom with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning.Saturday was her favorite day of the week.It rained most of the day,so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside.On Sunday,her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day,you know,the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to.But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad.He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day,the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house.Kayla couldn't believe it.This was a holiday.A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house.As Kayla wiped her eyes,she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla,your breakfast is ready.We have a lot of work to do today.Let's get a move on,”said Kayla's mom.As she sat down at the kitchen table,Kayla asked her parents,“Are you serious about working today?Isn't Labor Day a holiday?”
“Yes,Kayla.It is,”replied her dad.“But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”
Paragraph 1:
At first,Kayla felt disappointed at her parents' plan for the holiday.
Paragraph 2:
But things began to change as she was doing the chores.
参考范文
Paragraph 1:
