Just like other young people, when I’m hungry and busy, I will order food through a food delivery app, especially during the pandemic. These apps are fast and convenient. A survey of the food delivery service online conducted in the US shows that 26% of the people surveyed use food delivery service once a week, while 24% order food 2—3 times per week. Some have meals delivered even more often, with 8% ordering 6 times per week. However, I deleted Uber Eats from my phone two months ago. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. I can order precisely what I feel like eating. And I can have that hot meal delivered to my door within about 30 minutes with only a small fee. It’s the kind of on-demand service that used to be reserved for the ultra-wealthy. Now ordinary people, like me, lying on their couches, working late in their living rooms, or isolating themselves at home during the pandemic can enjoy it, too. However, I was shocked when I knew that five delivery riders were killed in three months last spring. Some riders sometimes were paid at rates lower than the minimum wage or without much of the basic protection enjoyed by the rest of us. They were also doing their jobs in an unsafe working environment — our city streets. This is particularly the case in Sydney, where some major media organizations have complained about the construction of safe cycling infra-structure(基础设施)for decades and worse still, state governments have previously torn up bike paths. So I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since then. I have no illusions that my standpoint will make a big difference. But I think our governments need to fight against the companies reshaping our lives and our communities for the worse to make our cities safer for everyone, including cyclists. 41. What does the survey conducted in the US tell us? A. The use of food delivery apps. B. The quality of food delivery apps. C. People’s preference for certain apps. D. Influences of the food delivery service on people’s life. 42. What can we learn about Uber Eats from Paragraph 3? A. It used to deliver hot food. B. It can satisfy different users’ demands. C. It favors a particular group of people. D It was the most popular app during the pandemic. 43. What’s the main reason for the author’s deleting Uber Eats? A. The extra delivery fee. B. The attraction from other apps. C. Delivery riders’ safety problems. D. Heavy traffic jams caused by delivery riders. 44. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph? A. To ask us to rethink the advantages of technological advances. B. To call on us to play a role in the community development. C. To state the problems of commercial companies. D. To appeal to governments to make some changes. 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. Why I gave up using food delivery apps B. The rise and fall of Uber Eats C. My addiction to social apps D. How I can live with apps 2.(23-24高二下.天津部分区.期中) Many years ago, my mother read from the book Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey to me. I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mother’s voice changed my world. Long before I could read on my own, she shared with me the strength and beauty of McCloskey’s language in a story of a little girl and her mother out in nature, co-existing with a mother bear and its baby. The power of the story, of language and of my mother all came together. And it happened many times after that, over and over. The read aloud made me a reader. Years later, I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. His life, so far, had not been easy. His childhood was troubled by poverty and loneliness. In that moment, in the joy of the read aloud, he had an idea that started something big. What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, let’s make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let’s have a holiday for the read aloud.” Therefore, my organization, LitWorld, created a grassroots movement World Read Aloud Day in 2010 to honor this young boy’s wish for everyone to be able to have a read aloud every day. Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event, reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world. This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day. Children who grow up as readers become engaged citizens of the global world, and every child deserves the right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge. 41. What did the author’s mother do when she was a child? A. She read aloud to her. B. She listened to her reading. C. She bought many books for her. D. She encouraged her to read aloud. 42. According to Paragraph 3, the relationship between the author and the little boy was probably ______. A. mother and child B. teacher and student C. boss and worker D. writer and reader 43. What does the small child’s idea in the passage refer to? A. To reduce poverty. B. To overcome loneliness. C. To have a holiday for the read aloud. D. To create a World Read Aloud Day. 44. What can we infer from Paragraph 5? A. World Read Aloud Day has developed quickly. B. This year World Read Aloud Day are over 600 cities strong. C. World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event. D. World Read Aloud Day has reached over one million people. 45. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph? A. Sticking to reading isn’t easy. B. Reading aloud isn’t actually simple. C. Reading can benefit children easily. D. Kids should try to change the world. 3.(23-24高二下.天津红桥区.期中) Rob Shuter is a gossip columnist (漫谈栏作者), born partially deaf, with severely limited function in the one arm that is shorter than the other. Shuter’s own experience made him not only interested in what distinguishes people from one another, but also confident in his own differences. Where does he gain such confidence? Shuter says that his family helps him grow up in spite of his special needs. “My mum taught me that being different wasn’t just fine, it was great,” he says. That opinion helped him handle many challenges that he faced. Being a disabled child affected not just how he saw himself, but how Shuter saw other peopled who didn’t quite fit in. He says, “It made me really aware of how I look at people: I make eye contact; I really listen. I try not to judge a book by its cover and to find beauty in the strangest places.” That’s why he never tucks away his arm and speaks so openly about his experience. “I have got a huge scar down my arm and if somebody asks or looks at it weirdly (怪异地), I don’t feel bad for myself or bad for them,” he says. “It’s true in beauty too when you notice things on your face or your body that nobody else does. The more out in the open my arm is the fewer people notice it.” He said again, “If you have a spot on your face, you really don’t need to cover it up. Just own it! If you are losing your hair, own it! The amount of effort and time people spend trying to cover something up, even their own personalities, is ridiculous.” That candor (坦率) has worked well in his professional life. The gossip columnist refers to himself on his website as Naughty But Nice Rob. He’s honest about the stars’ faults, but he tries to do it through a lot of humor and kindness, in the same way he treats himself. 31. Rob Shuter is probably interested in ________. A. judging people by their appearance B. writing novels about the society C. talking about his working experience D. telling one’s difference from another’s 32. How does Rob Shuter think of his physical difference? A. He is a bit unhappy and helpless. B. He doesn’t think it is bad but great. C. He thinks it has a deep effect on him. D.

Mack’s journey around the world lasted five months and he flew across 52 countries in total. His record-breaking flight began in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 23 March, 2022. He was 16 years old when he took off and celebrated his 17th birthday by himself in his plane. Mack faced many challenges during his adventure. Because of his small-sized aircraft, he had to land whenever the weather got too rough. However, at some points he literally couldn’t land, such as when flying non-stop for 10 hours over an ocean. At other points, he faced extremely hot weather, such as in Dubai. In Sudan, a country in Africa, Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going. Mack battled strong winds and pouring rain during his flight, but he never stopped smiling, joking and updating his flowers on his social media account along the way, and managed to expertly pilot his plane to safety. And if Mack’s surname “Rutherford” sounds familiar, it’s because his elder sister Zara also flew around the world earlier this year, and still holds the female version of the record! The Rutherford siblings (兄弟姐妹) were inspired by their parents to become pilots. “I have known for certain I wanted to fly since I was eleven,” Mack said, “My dad Sam is a professional ferry pilot, my mum Beatrice is a recreational (娱乐的) private pilot.” Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals, “No matter what background you have, I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and you shouldn’t limit yourself by others’ expectations.” With both feet firmly back on the ground now, it’s time for Mack to turn his attention towards catching up on his schoolwork! 41. What can we know about Mack’s flight? A. It began when he was 17 years 64 days old. B. It made him the youngest person to fly alone. C. It was a successful record-breaking attempt. D. It took off in the capital of his home country. 42. What challenges did Mack face? A. Limitation of flight hours. B. Darkness and safety issues. C. Loneliness of flying alone. D. Bad weather and long distance. 43. Why did Mack and his sister want to be pilots? A. To be inspired by their parents. B. To encourage each other to dream big. C. To serve as examples for their siblings. D. To live up to their parents’ expectations. 44. What does Mack hope to do with his attempt? A. To encourage young people to become pilots. B. To inspire young people to fight for their dreams. C. To warn young people of the dangers of flying. D. To free young people of worries about school work. 45. What does Mack will do next? A.

On his way to the mall that morning, the five-year-old began thinking about all the things he could buy with the money. Then, looking out of the car window, Joshua noticed a homeless man standing on the street corner. That moment changed his life forever. Joshua instantly gave the man his $20 bill in the hope that it would make a small difference. With this gesture, Joshua discovered his life’s calling to help the needy. At just five years old, Joshua knew he would need help in order to make his dream — to wipe out hunger — a reality. He enlisted his family, and soon they were delivering meals to the homeless every Saturday. Joshua began to realize, however, that he needed a “bigger, better and easier way to distribute food.” He and his family came up with the idea to have the homeless community come to a centralized distribution point. On their first distribution day, Joshua and his team of helpers provided more than 300 families with food. They continued distributing groceries this way every month for two years. With the success of his work, Joshua eventually created the Joshua’s Heart Foundation to continue his mission of feeding the homeless. Now, several years later, his foundation continues to provide food and cooking classes for needy families. Joshua and his team have helped feed over 20,000 people over the past eight years and they’re still working to increase that number. Each bag of groceries represents a brighter day in the lives of these individuals and families, and it all began with one young person who saw a need and decided to make a difference. 36.

Why am I singing such praises of myself? Just to explain that the attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began. Born and raised in Africa，I had always taken my African origin as burden. My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I ,a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!” What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence. It always stood between me and any fine opportunity. I’d taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me. Fortunately, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic(遗传的) disorder after all. It’s perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took an-other twist(转折). Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me—if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success. Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talk show host and writer—she’s black too! Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color, I’m practically filled with shame. Today, I’ve grown to accept what I am with pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me: there’s always something fantastic about us, and what we need to do is learn to appreciate it. 36. What affected the author’s adjustment to her school life in Norway？ A. Her appearance B. Social discrimination. C. Her changing emotions. D. The climate in Norway. 37. What did the author’s occasional stuttering bring about according on Paragraph 3? A. Her lack of self-confidence. B. Her loss of interest in school. C. Her unwillingness to greet her classmates. D. Her desire for chances to improve herself. 38. How did the author feel on noticing the similarity between her and the girl on the bus? A. Blessed and proud. B. Confused and afraid. C. Amazed and relieved. D. Shocked and ashamed. 39. What lesson did the author learn from the cases of Newton and Churchill? A. Great minds speak alike. B. Stuttering is no barrier to success. C. Wisdom counts more than hard work. D. Famous people can’t live with their weaknesses. 40. What can best summarize the message contained in the passage? A. Pride comes before a fall. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Self-acceptance is based on the love for oneself. D. Self-love is key to the attainment of self-pride. 8.(22-23高二下.天津第四十七中学.期中) Godfrey Hounsfield’s early life did not suggest that he would accomplish much at all. He was not a particularly good student in the teachers’ eyes—he neither observed the school disciplines nor worked hard enough at school lessons. His teachers described him as “thick”. He joined the army during the Second World War, but he wasn’t much of a soldier. However, he was a wizard with electrical machinery—he would use the newly invented radar to help pilots better find their way home on dark, cloudy nights. After the war, Hounsfield followed his commander’s advice and got a degree in engineering He practiced his trade at EMI, a company with a focus on electronics and electrical engineering. Hounsfield’s natural talent for engineering made him lead the team building the most advanced mainframe computer available in Britain. But by the 1960’s, EMI wanted out of the competitive computer market and the brilliant engineer wasn’t sure what to do in the future in the company. Therefore, the company gave Hounsfield a long holiday. During the holiday, Hounsfield met a physician who complained about the poor quality of X-ray of the brain, which looked like fog. This got Hounsfield to make a move into the new field. Hounsfield returned to EMI and talked about the idea with his boss. Then he used a new way to appoach the problem of imaging what was inside the skull. By working backward and using the fastest computers, he could work on the mystery of each brain layer. But there was a problem: EMI wasn’t involved in the medical market then. The company allowed Hounsfield to work on his product, but provided no funding. Luckily his boss, Bill Ingham, saw the value of Hounsfield’s proposal and struggled to ask EMI to keep the project run. Finally, Hounsfield built a safe and effictive human scanner. Hounsfield’s innovation transformed medicine. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1979 and was knighted by the queen in 1981. He continued his invention career until his final days in 2004, when he died at 84. 41. What can we say about Houndfield’s early school life? A. He worked really hard. B.

Became tired of. C. Came up with. D. Was gifted in. 43. Why did EMI give Hounsfield a long holiday? A To relieve Hounsfield’s anxiety over stressful work. B. To make Hounsfield think about his future career. C. To allow Hounsfield to reflect on his mistakes. D. To remind Hounsfield to learn from others. 44. What difficulty did Hounsfield meet during his invention of human scanner? A. Having no one on his side. B. Experiencing too many failures. C. Being short of financial support. D. Being misunderstood by his boss. 45. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To remember a great inventor. B. To reveal the decline of a company. C.

While your background might not be a foreign place or an international landmark, it’s still important to capture your family’s current experiences for future reference and enjoyment. Here are five ideas to consider: ①People pictures stand the test of time Including people, especially your loved ones. In your shot adds tremendous (极大的) interest. Encourage family members to be the focus of landscape images, providing context and great memories. Overtime, you may not remember that towering forest or the flower-strewn grassland. But you will recall the memories made in that location. ②Capture color Whether you travel near or far, markets, parades (游行) and streetscapes will often provide a lot of colorful subjects and unique experiences that will help tell the story of your family adventure. At the market, for example, be on the lookout for brightly colored vegetables, fruits, meat or fish unlike those in your local grocery store. Inspire your children’s natural curiosity by asking the seller to explain the origin of items. ③Give animal pñotos a shot Whether at the zoo, in the countryside or in a national park, shooting photos of animals can be an enriching experience. Will you get the shot when the lion roars, the giraffe reaches upward or the monkey swings from the branch? ④Get in on the action It’s fun to capture the movement and the excitement of the adventure. Whether it’s a swing or slide in a nearby park, a child running through a field, rafting (漂流) through the rapids or biking down at rail, capture the action in an image or video. ⑤Seek beauty Focus on the small details of everyday life. Look for the beauty found in blooming wildflowers, the fluttering wings of a hummingbird, a bird building a nest, shifting clouds or a full moon. Consider sharing your favorite pictures with friends and family in distant places. They will likely take comfort in the connection and the glory of your extraordinary images. 36. Who is the passage intended for? A. Someone who loves his family. B. People who are good at finding beauty. C. People who want to take good family photos. D.

Staton, a 24-year-old former sanitation (环卫) worker in Maryland, US, recently celebrated his acceptance into Harvard Law School. Staton’s life was relatively normal until a series of setbacks impacted his family life and studies. “Things were pretty good until I was 8 years old. My mom abandoned my dad, my brother and me when she moved back to Sri Lanka.” he said. When he was in seventh grade, a teacher even recommended that he be placed in special education classes. His brother Reggie then brainstormed ways to help boost his grades. An aerospace engineer also offered to tutor him free of charge. Staton’s grades did improve and he became an honor student. However, he was rejected by every college he had applied for. So to help support himself and his family, Staton began working at a sanitation company. He spent his days transporting trash and cleaning dumpsters (垃圾箱), waking up every morning to get dressed around 4 am. “The sanitation workers were the only people in my life who told me I could be somebody,” Staton said, “They would say, ‘You’re too young to be here. Go to college, and come back if it doesn’t work out’”. The son of the company’s owner helped Staton contact a professor at Bowie State University, and the university eventually accepted Staton. Things began to look up. Two years later, he transferred to the University of Maryland to continue pursuing his undergraduate degree. But Staton still struggled to pay for his father’s medical bills. He’d work in the morning and take classes in the afternoon. After graduation, Staton worked at a national consulting firm while applying for law school. He plans to start at Harvard this fall, where he will major in sports law to pursue his dream of becoming a sports agent. “For Rehan, the sky is truly the limit. Whatever he chooses to do in the future, he will definitely achieve,” said a chief operating officer of Staton’s firm. For anyone looking for inspiration during difficult times, Staton recommends to “love yourself enough to get what you want out of life,” he told news outlet ABC. “You can always see the light in any dark situation, and you need to hold on to that light.” 56. It is implied in the passage that ______. A. Stanton was considered too young to be a sanitation worker B. all the classes in the University of Maryland were in the afternoon C.

Neither of his parents read poetry to him when he was little. When his fourth-grade teacher read poems in class, he thought they seemed boring. To nine-year-old Prelutsky, poetry seemed like serious business. And Prelutsky was anything but serious. “I wanted to hear poems about myself — about outer space and sports and music,” he says. “So I started to think of poetry as punishment.” Prelutsky had always taken voice and piano lessons, but when he attended New York’s High School of Music and Art, his love for music grew deeper. “I liked the way songs said what they had to say — the simple, direct, ordinary language they employed. I really think that’s what made me see poetry in a new light.” Then Prelutsky took a drawing class in his early twenties and found he wasn’t very good at life drawing. But he was good at drawing imaginary animals. In six months, Prelutsky drew a lot of imaginary animals with strange characteristics. He loved each one, but felt something was missing. “Then one evening, I looked at them and said, ‘They need poems.’ I still don’t know why I thought of it, but within half an hour, I had all the poems written.” Publishing the poems never crossed Prelutsky’s mind in those early days. But when friends fell in love with his poems, he agreed to share them with a children’s book editor. “She didn’t think much of my illustrations (插图),” he says, “but she told me that I was a natural poet and encouraged me to keep writing.” At the time, Prelutsky was surprised at the editor’s encouragement. But more than forty books later, he’s still making friends and fans laugh. From monsters to frogs, Prelutsky has turned silly into an art form. 41. What can we learn about Prelutsky when he was a kid? A. He hated poetry. B. He took sports seriously. C. He found it hard to read poems. D. He developed an interest in business. 42. What did Prelutsky think of music? A. It was a kind of punishment. B. It was something serious. C. It was simple but indirect. D. It helped him to love poetry. 43. How did drawing influence Prelutsky? A. It drove him to love music. B. It brought out his poetic skills. C. It raised his confidence in writing. D. It helped him become a famous painter. 44. How did the editor feel about Prelutsky’s poems? A. She gave them high praise. B. She was surprised by them. C. She refused to publish them. D. She showed no interest in them. 45. What is a characteristic of Prelutsky’s poems? A. They are funny. B. They are encouraging. C. They are person-centered. D. They are family-friendly. 3.(23-24高二下.天津南开中学.期中) Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon. I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household. Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging. Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire. As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged. So here is my advice: Lead by action. 45. What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph? A. Share an apartment with you. B. Join you in what you’re doing. C. Transform your way of living. D. Help you to make the decision. 46. What was the attitude of the author’s father toward buying groceries with jars? A. He disapproved of it. B. He was favorable to it. C. He was tolerant of it. D. He didn’t care about it. 47. What can we infer about the author? A. She is quite good at cooking. B. She respects others’ privacy. C. She enjoys being a housewife. D. She is a determined person. 48. What is the text mainly about? A. How to get on well with other family members. B. How to have one’s own personal space at home. C. How to live a zero waste lifestyle in a household. D. How to control the budget when buying groceries. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04 阅读理解之应用文和记叙文 应用文 1.(23-24高二下.天津重点校联考.期中) Here is a selection of books offering poems that range from being funny to being educational.

I bank online and learn online. Just like other young people, when I’m hungry and busy, I will order food through a food delivery app, especially during the pandemic. These apps are fast and convenient. A survey of the food delivery service online conducted in the US shows that 26% of the people surveyed use food delivery service once a week, while 24% order food 2—3 times per week. Some have meals delivered even more often, with 8% ordering 6 times per week. However, I deleted Uber Eats from my phone two months ago. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. I can order precisely what I feel like eating. And I can have that hot meal delivered to my door within about 30 minutes with only a small fee. It’s the kind of on-demand service that used to be reserved for the ultra-wealthy. Now ordinary people, like me, lying on their couches, working late in their living rooms, or isolating themselves at home during the pandemic can enjoy it, too. However, I was shocked when I knew that five delivery riders were killed in three months last spring. Some riders sometimes were paid at rates lower than the minimum wage or without much of the basic protection enjoyed by the rest of us. They were also doing their jobs in an unsafe working environment — our city streets. This is particularly the case in Sydney, where some major media organizations have complained about the construction of safe cycling infra-structure(基础设施)for decades and worse still, state governments have previously torn up bike paths. So I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since then. I have no illusions that my standpoint will make a big difference. But I think our governments need to fight against the companies reshaping our lives and our communities for the worse to make our cities safer for everyone, including cyclists. 41. What does the survey conducted in the US tell us? A. The use of food delivery apps. B. The quality of food delivery apps. C. People’s preference for certain apps. D. Influences of the food delivery service on people’s life. 42. What can we learn about Uber Eats from Paragraph 3? A. It used to deliver hot food. B. It can satisfy different users’ demands. C. It favors a particular group of people. D It was the most popular app during the pandemic. 43. What’s the main reason for the author’s deleting Uber Eats? A. The extra delivery fee. B. The attraction from other apps. C. Delivery riders’ safety problems. D. Heavy traffic jams caused by delivery riders. 44. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph? A. To ask us to rethink the advantages of technological advances. B. To call on us to play a role in the community development. C. To state the problems of commercial companies. D. To appeal to governments to make some changes. 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. Why I gave up using food delivery apps B. The rise and fall of Uber Eats C. My addiction to social apps D. How I can live with apps 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. C 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己删除外卖APP的原因，来呼吁政府需要与那些让我们的生活和社区变得更糟的公司作斗争，让我们的城市对每个人来说都是更安全的。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A survey of the food delivery service online conducted in the US shows that 26% of the people surveyed use food delivery service once a week, while 24% order food 2—3 times per week. Some have meals delivered even more often, with 8% ordering 6 times per week.(一项针对美国在线外卖服务的调查显示，26%的受访者每周使用一次外卖服务，而24%的人每周订购2-3次。有些人甚至更频繁地叫餐，8%的人每周点6次餐)”可知，在美国进行的调查告诉了我们外卖APP的使用频次。故选A项。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I can order precisely what I feel like eating. And I can have that hot meal delivered to my door within about 30 minutes with only a small fee. It’s the kind of on-demand service that used to be reserved for the ultra-wealthy. Now ordinary people, like me, lying on their couches, working late in their living rooms, or isolating themselves at home during the pandemic can enjoy it, too.(我可以点我想吃的东西。而且我只需付很少的费用，就可以在大约30分钟内叫人把热饭送到我家门口。这种按需服务曾经是超级富豪的专利。现在，像我这样的普通人，在大流行期间躺在沙发上，在客厅里工作到很晚，或把自己隔离在家里，也可以享受它)”可知，Uber Eats可以满足不同用户的需求。故选B项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“However, I was shocked when I knew that five delivery riders were killed in three months last spring. Some riders sometimes were paid at rates lower than the minimum wage or without much of the basic protection enjoyed by the rest of us. They were also doing their jobs in an unsafe working environment — our city streets.(然而，去年春天，当我知道3个月内有5名快递员死亡时，我感到震惊。有些骑手的工资有时比最低工资还低，或者没有我们其他人所享有的基本保障。他们也在一个不安全的工作环境中工作——我们的城市街道)”以及最后一段中“So I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since then.(所以我删除了这款应用，从那以后再也没用过它，也没用过它的任何竞争对手)”可知，作者删除Uber Eats的主要原因是送货员的安全问题。故选C项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I have no illusions that my standpoint will make a big difference. But I think our governments need to fight against the companies reshaping our lives and our communities for the worse to make our cities safer for everyone, including cyclists.(我不幻想我的立场会产生重大影响。但我认为，我们的政府需要与那些让我们的生活和社区变得更糟的公司作斗争，让我们的城市对每个人都更安全，包括骑自行车的人)”可知，作者写最后一段的目的是呼吁政府做出一些改变。故选D项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Just like other young people, when I’m hungry and busy, I will order food through a food delivery app, especially during the pandemic. These apps are fast and convenient.(就像其他年轻人一样，当我又饿又忙的时候，我会通过外卖app订餐，尤其是在疫情期间。这些应用程序又快又方便)”可知，作者本来和其他年轻人一样，也喜欢用外卖APP，再根据第三段“However, I deleted Uber Eats from my phone two months ago.(然而，两个月前，我从手机上删除了优步外卖)”以及最后一段“So I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since then.(所以我删除了这款应用，从那以后再也没用过它，也没用过它的任何竞争对手)”可知，本文之后是在讲作者为什么删除外卖APP，所以A项“Why I gave up using food delivery apps(为什么我放弃了用外卖软件)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。 2.(23-24高二下.天津部分区.期中) Many years ago, my mother read from the book Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey to me. I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mother’s voice changed my world. Long before I could read on my own, she shared with me the strength and beauty of McCloskey’s language in a story of a little girl and her mother out in nature, co-existing with a mother bear and its baby. The power of the story, of language and of my mother all came together. And it happened many times after that, over and over. The read aloud made me a reader. Years later, I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. His life, so far, had not been easy. His childhood was troubled by poverty and loneliness. In that moment, in the joy of the read aloud, he had an idea that started something big. What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, let’s make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let’s have a holiday for the read aloud.” Therefore, my organization, LitWorld, created a grassroots movement World Read Aloud Day in 2010 to honor this young boy’s wish for everyone to be able to have a read aloud every day. Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event, reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world. This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day. Children who grow up as readers become engaged citizens of the global world, and every child deserves the right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge. 41. What did the author’s mother do when she was a child? A. She read aloud to her. B. She listened to her reading. C. She bought many books for her. D. She encouraged her to read aloud. 42.

D. World Read Aloud Day has reached over one million people. 45. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph? A. Sticking to reading isn’t easy. B. Reading aloud isn’t actually simple. C.

Shuter’s own experience made him not only interested in what distinguishes people from one another, but also confident in his own differences. Where does he gain such confidence? Shuter says that his family helps him grow up in spite of his special needs. “My mum taught me that being different wasn’t just fine, it was great,” he says. That opinion helped him handle many challenges that he faced. Being a disabled child affected not just how he saw himself, but how Shuter saw other peopled who didn’t quite fit in. He says, “It made me really aware of how I look at people: I make eye contact; I really listen. I try not to judge a book by its cover and to find beauty in the strangest places.” That’s why he never tucks away his arm and speaks so openly about his experience. “I have got a huge scar down my arm and if somebody asks or looks at it weirdly (怪异地), I don’t feel bad for myself or bad for them,” he says. “It’s true in beauty too when you notice things on your face or your body that nobody else does. The more out in the open my arm is the fewer people notice it.” He said again, “If you have a spot on your face, you really don’t need to cover it up. Just own it! If you are losing your hair, own it! The amount of effort and time people spend trying to cover something up, even their own personalities, is ridiculous.” That candor (坦率) has worked well in his professional life. The gossip columnist refers to himself on his website as Naughty But Nice Rob. He’s honest about the stars’ faults, but he tries to do it through a lot of humor and kindness, in the same way he treats himself. 31. Rob Shuter is probably interested in ________. A. judging people by their appearance B. writing novels about the society C. talking about his working experience D. telling one’s difference from another’s 32. How does Rob Shuter think of his physical difference? A. He is a bit unhappy and helpless. B. He doesn’t think it is bad but great. C. He thinks it has a deep effect on him. D. He thinks bad things mean good ones. 33. What does the underlined phrase “tucks away” mean? A. Covers up. B. Notices. C. Shows up. D. Explains. 34. Which is absurd in the opinion of Rob Shuter? A. Often making mistakes. B. Laughing at someone else. C. A scar being in the face. D. One’s covering up his faults 35. Which of the following can describe Rob Shuter? A. Naughty, active and kind. B. Friendly, loyal and clever. C. Honest, humorous and confident. D. Respectful, social and reasonable. 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是漫谈栏作者Rob Shuter虽然天生部分失聪，一只手臂比另一只短，功能严重受限，但是他对自己充满了信心。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Shuter’s own experience made him not only interested in what distinguishes people from one another, but also confident in his own differences.(Shuter自己的经历使他不仅对人与人之间的区别感兴趣，而且对自己的差异充满信心。)”可知，Rob Shuter可能对分辨出彼此的不同感兴趣。故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“My mum taught me that being different wasn’t just fine, it was great.(我妈妈告诉我，与众不同不仅好，而且很棒。)”可知，Rob Shuter不认为他的身体差异是不好的，而觉得这是很好的，故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段的“speaks so openly about his experience(如此坦率地谈论他的经历)”和“If you have a spot on your face, you really don’t need to cover it up. Just own it! If you are losing your hair, own it! The amount of effort and time people spend trying to cover something up, even their own personalities, is ridiculous.(如果你脸上有斑点，你真的不需要把它遮住。承认吧！如果你正在脱发，承认吧！人们花费大量的精力和时间试图掩盖一些事情，甚至是他们自己的个性，这是荒谬的。)”可知，他不主张把自己的缺陷遮住，所以划线词所在句子表示“这就是为什么他从不收起他的手臂，如此坦率地谈论他的经历”，划线短语意为“遮盖”，和covers up意思相近，故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“If you have a spot on your face, you really don’t need to cover it up. Just own it! If you are losing your hair, own it! The amount of effort and time people spend trying to cover something up, even their own personalities, is ridiculous.(如果你脸上有斑点，你真的不需要把它遮住。承认吧！如果你正在脱发，承认吧！人们花费大量的精力和时间试图掩盖一些事情，甚至是他们自己的个性，这是荒谬的。)”可知，在Rob Shuter看来一个人在掩盖他的缺陷是荒谬的，故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Shuter’s own experience made him not only interested in what distinguishes people from one another, but also confident in his own differences.(Shuter自己的经历使他不仅对人与人之间的区别感兴趣，而且对自己的差异充满信心。)”可知，他是自信的；第四段的“That’s why he never tucks away his arm and speaks so openly about his experience.(这就是为什么他从不收起他的手臂，如此坦率地谈论他的经历。)”可知，他是诚实的；根据最后一段的“The gossip columnist refers to himself on his website as Naughty But Nice Rob.(这位八卦专栏作家在自己的网站上称自己为“顽皮但不错的Rob”。)”可知，Rob Shuter是诚实、幽默、自信的，即可以用Honest, humorous和confident来描述他。故选C。 4.(23-24高二下.天津大学附属中学.期中) At the age of 17 years 64 days, Mack Rutherford has become the youngest person to fly around the world alone! Mack’s journey around the world lasted five months and he flew across 52 countries in total. His record-breaking flight began in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 23 March, 2022. He was 16 years old when he took off and celebrated his 17th birthday by himself in his plane. Mack faced many challenges during his adventure. Because of his small-sized aircraft, he had to land whenever the weather got too rough. However, at some points he literally couldn’t land, such as when flying non-stop for 10 hours over an ocean. At other points, he faced extremely hot weather, such as in Dubai. In Sudan, a country in Africa, Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going. Mack battled strong winds and pouring rain during his flight, but he never stopped smiling, joking and updating his flowers on his social media account along the way, and managed to expertly pilot his plane to safety. And if Mack’s surname “Rutherford” sounds familiar, it’s because his elder sister Zara also flew around the world earlier this year, and still holds the female version of the record! The Rutherford siblings (兄弟姐妹) were inspired by their parents to become pilots. “I have known for certain I wanted to fly since I was eleven,” Mack said, “My dad Sam is a professional ferry pilot, my mum Beatrice is a recreational (娱乐的) private pilot.” Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals, “No matter what background you have, I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and you shouldn’t limit yourself by others’ expectations.” With both feet firmly back on the ground now, it’s time for Mack to turn his attention towards catching up on his schoolwork! 41.

His journey began with a $20 birthday gift from his grandmother. She said he could use it any way he wanted. On his way to the mall that morning, the five-year-old began thinking about all the things he could buy with the money. Then, looking out of the car window, Joshua noticed a homeless man standing on the street corner. That moment changed his life forever. Joshua instantly gave the man his $20 bill in the hope that it would make a small difference. With this gesture, Joshua discovered his life’s calling to help the needy. At just five years old, Joshua knew he would need help in order to make his dream — to wipe out hunger — a reality. He enlisted his family, and soon they were delivering meals to the homeless every Saturday. Joshua began to realize, however, that he needed a “bigger, better and easier way to distribute food.” He and his family came up with the idea to have the homeless community come to a centralized distribution point. On their first distribution day, Joshua and his team of helpers provided more than 300 families with food. They continued distributing groceries this way every month for two years. With the success of his work, Joshua eventually created the Joshua’s Heart Foundation to continue his mission of feeding the homeless. Now, several years later, his foundation continues to provide food and cooking classes for needy families. Joshua and his team have helped feed over 20,000 people over the past eight years and they’re still working to increase that number. Each bag of groceries represents a brighter day in the lives of these individuals and families, and it all began with one young person who saw a need and decided to make a difference. 36.

Why am I singing such praises of myself? Just to explain that the attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began. Born and raised in Africa，I had always taken my African origin as burden. My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I ,a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!” What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence. It always stood between me and any fine opportunity. I’d taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me. Fortunately, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic(遗传的) disorder after all. It’s perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took an-other twist(转折). Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me—if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success. Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talk show host and writer—she’s black too! Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color, I’m practically filled with shame. Today, I’ve grown to accept what I am with pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me: there’s always something fantastic about us, and what we need to do is learn to appreciate it. 36. What affected the author’s adjustment to her school life in Norway？ A. Her appearance B. Social discrimination. C. Her changing emotions. D. The climate in Norway. 37. What did the author’s occasional stuttering bring about according on Paragraph 3? A. Her lack of self-confidence. B. Her loss of interest in school. C. Her unwillingness to greet her classmates. D. Her desire for chances to improve herself. 38. How did the author feel on noticing the similarity between her and the girl on the bus? A. Blessed and proud. B. Confused and afraid. C. Amazed and relieved. D. Shocked and ashamed. 39. What lesson did the author learn from the cases of Newton and Churchill? A. Great minds speak alike. B. Stuttering is no barrier to success. C. Wisdom counts more than hard work. D. Famous people can’t live with their weaknesses. 40. What can best summarize the message contained in the passage? A. Pride comes before a fall. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Self-acceptance is based on the love for oneself. D. Self-love is key to the attainment of self-pride. 【答案】36. A 37. A 38. C 39. B 40.

That was where my struggle began.(只是为了解释他获得自尊来自大量的自爱，而要获得它，一个人必须首先学会接受自己的本来面目。这就是我挣扎开始的地方。)”可知，本文要讲述的是作者在经历中感悟到要想有自尊，首先要自爱。故选D项。 8.(22-23高二下.天津第四十七中学.期中) Godfrey Hounsfield’s early life did not suggest that he would accomplish much at all. He was not a particularly good student in the teachers’ eyes—he neither observed the school disciplines nor worked hard enough at school lessons. His teachers described him as “thick”. He joined the army during the Second World War, but he wasn’t much of a soldier. However, he was a wizard with electrical machinery—he would use the newly invented radar to help pilots better find their way home on dark, cloudy nights. After the war, Hounsfield followed his commander’s advice and got a degree in engineering He practiced his trade at EMI, a company with a focus on electronics and electrical engineering. Hounsfield’s natural talent for engineering made him lead the team building the most advanced mainframe computer available in Britain. But by the 1960’s, EMI wanted out of the competitive computer market and the brilliant engineer wasn’t sure what to do in the future in the company. Therefore, the company gave Hounsfield a long holiday. During the holiday, Hounsfield met a physician who complained about the poor quality of X-ray of the brain, which looked like fog. This got Hounsfield to make a move into the new field. Hounsfield returned to EMI and talked about the idea with his boss. Then he used a new way to appoach the problem of imaging what was inside the skull. By working backward and using the fastest computers, he could work on the mystery of each brain layer. But there was a problem: EMI wasn’t involved in the medical market then. The company allowed Hounsfield to work on his product, but provided no funding. Luckily his boss, Bill Ingham, saw the value of Hounsfield’s proposal and struggled to ask EMI to keep the project run. Finally, Hounsfield built a safe and effictive human scanner. Hounsfield’s innovation transformed medicine. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1979 and was knighted by the queen in 1981. He continued his invention career until his final days in 2004, when he died at 84. 41. What can we say about Houndfield’s early school life? A. He worked really hard. B. He didn’t manage to graduate. C. He was popular with his teachers. D. He didn’t behave himself. 42. What does the underlined part “was a wizard with” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stayed away from. B. Became tired of. C. Came up with. D. Was gifted in. 43. Why did EMI give Hounsfield a long holiday? A To relieve Hounsfield’s anxiety over stressful work. B. To make Hounsfield think about his future career. C. To allow Hounsfield to reflect on his mistakes. D. To remind Hounsfield to learn from others. 44. What difficulty did Hounsfield meet during his invention of human scanner? A. Having no one on his side. B. Experiencing too many failures. C. Being short of financial support. D. Being misunderstood by his boss. 45. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To remember a great inventor. B. To reveal the decline of a company. C. To introduce the application of X-rays. D. To show the improvements brought by technology. 【答案】41. D 42. D 43. B 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Godfrey Hounsfield的生平以及他发明人体扫描仪的事迹。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“He was not a particularly good student in the teachers’ eyes—he neither observed the school disciplines nor worked hard enough at school lessons.(在老师眼中，他不是一个特别好的学生——他既不遵守学校的纪律，也不努力上课。)”可知，Godfrey Hounsfield早期在学校表现不好。故选D。 【42题详解】 短语猜测题。根据破折号后面的内容“he would use the newly invented radar to help pilots better find their way home on dark, cloudy nights”可知，他会使用新发明的雷达帮助飞行员在黑暗多云的夜晚更好地找到回家的路，由此可推测出，他在电机方面很有天赋，“was a wizard with”表示“在……上很有天赋”，与D项意思相近。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But by the 1960’s, EMI wanted out of the competitive computer market and the brilliant engineer wasn’t sure what to do in the future in the company. Therefore, the company gave Hounsfield a long holiday.(但到了20世纪60年代，EMI想要退出竞争激烈的计算机市场，而这位才华横溢的工程师不确定未来在公司该做什么。因此，公司给Hounsfield放了一个长假。)”可知，公司给Hounsfield放长假是为了让他思考自己未来的职业规划。故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“But there was a problem: EMI wasn’t involved in the medical market then. The company allowed Hounsfield to work on his product, but provided no funding.(但有一个问题：EMI当时并没有涉足医疗市场。该公司允许Hounsfield研究他的产品，但没有提供任何资金。)”可知，Hounsfield在研究发明的过程中面临的困难是资金短缺。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，第一至四段讲述了Godfrey Hounsfield早期在学校的表现和工作经历；第五至七段讲述了Godfrey Hounsfield发明人体扫描仪的过程；最后一段讲述了Godfrey Hounsfield为此获得了诺贝尔奖并被授予爵位。由此可推测出，本文主要围绕Godfrey Hounsfield展开，着重讲述了他发明人体扫描仪的事迹，目的是为了让人们铭记一位伟大的发明家。故选A。 应用文 1.(23-24高二下.天津滨海新区塘沽一中.期中) Smile: It’s a family photo!

Staton, a 24-year-old former sanitation (环卫) worker in Maryland, US, recently celebrated his acceptance into Harvard Law School. Staton’s life was relatively normal until a series of setbacks impacted his family life and studies. “Things were pretty good until I was 8 years old. My mom abandoned my dad, my brother and me when she moved back to Sri Lanka.” he said. When he was in seventh grade, a teacher even recommended that he be placed in special education classes. His brother Reggie then brainstormed ways to help boost his grades. An aerospace engineer also offered to tutor him free of charge. Staton’s grades did improve and he became an honor student. However, he was rejected by every college he had applied for. So to help support himself and his family, Staton began working at a sanitation company. He spent his days transporting trash and cleaning dumpsters (垃圾箱), waking up every morning to get dressed around 4 am. “The sanitation workers were the only people in my life who told me I could be somebody,” Staton said, “They would say, ‘You’re too young to be here. Go to college, and come back if it doesn’t work out’”. The son of the company’s owner helped Staton contact a professor at Bowie State University, and the university eventually accepted Staton. Things began to look up. Two years later, he transferred to the University of Maryland to continue pursuing his undergraduate degree. But Staton still struggled to pay for his father’s medical bills. He’d work in the morning and take classes in the afternoon. After graduation, Staton worked at a national consulting firm while applying for law school. He plans to start at Harvard this fall, where he will major in sports law to pursue his dream of becoming a sports agent. “For Rehan, the sky is truly the limit. Whatever he chooses to do in the future, he will definitely achieve,” said a chief operating officer of Staton’s firm. For anyone looking for inspiration during difficult times, Staton recommends to “love yourself enough to get what you want out of life,” he told news outlet ABC. “You can always see the light in any dark situation, and you need to hold on to that light.” 56. It is implied in the passage that ______. A. Stanton was considered too young to be a sanitation worker B. all the classes in the University of Maryland were in the afternoon C. Stanton worked as a sports agent while applying for law school D. at one time Stanton didn’t have a satisfying academic performance 57. Why did Rehan Staton work as a sanitation worker? A. To gain some work experience. B. To help lighten his family’s financial burdens. C. To save money for his college education. D. To help the sanitation workers who once helped him. 58. What does the underlined sentence in the second-to-last paragraph imply? A. Rehan was an observant sky-lover. B. Rehan has limitations on what major he can choose. C. Rehan has an extreme fear of heights. D. Rehan has endless potential to realize his dream. 59. Which words can best describe Rehan Staton? A. Strong-minded and optimistic. B. Warm-hearted and easygoing. C. Inventive and diligent. D. Cautious and modest. 60. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To share tips on how to get admitted into Harvard. B. To persuade readers to get support when in need. C. To encourage readers not to bend to hardships in life. D. To show the importance of working with the right people. 【答案】56. D 57. B 58. D 59. A 60. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了24岁的Rehan Staton通过努力，被哈佛法学院录取。讲述了他所经历的一些挫折和困难，以及他乐观坚强的人生态度。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Staton’s life was relatively normal until a series of setbacks impacted his family life and studies.(Stanton的生活相对正常，直到一系列的挫折影响了他的家庭生活和学习)”以及第四段中“When he was in seventh grade, a teacher even recommended that he be placed in special education classes. His brother Reggie then brainstormed ways to help boost his grades.(在他上七年级的时候，一位老师甚至建议把他安排到特殊教育班。然后，他的哥哥雷吉集思广益，想出办法帮助他提高成绩)”可推知，有一段时间，Stanton的学习成绩并不令人满意。故选D。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“So to help support himself and his family, Staton began working at a sanitation company.(因此，为了养活自己和家人，Staton开始在一家卫生公司工作)”可知，Rehan Staton做环卫工人是为了帮助减轻家庭经济负担。故选B。 【58题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段画线词后文“Whatever he chooses to do in the future, he will definitely achieve(无论他未来选择做什么，他一定会成功)”可知，Rehan有无限的潜力去实现他的梦想，做什么都会成功。故画线句意思是“Rehan有无限的潜力去实现他的梦想”。故选D。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“However, he was rejected by every college he had applied for.

Neither of his parents read poetry to him when he was little. When his fourth-grade teacher read poems in class, he thought they seemed boring. To nine-year-old Prelutsky, poetry seemed like serious business. And Prelutsky was anything but serious. “I wanted to hear poems about myself — about outer space and sports and music,” he says. “So I started to think of poetry as punishment.” Prelutsky had always taken voice and piano lessons, but when he attended New York’s High School of Music and Art, his love for music grew deeper. “I liked the way songs said what they had to say — the simple, direct, ordinary language they employed. I really think that’s what made me see poetry in a new light.” Then Prelutsky took a drawing class in his early twenties and found he wasn’t very good at life drawing. But he was good at drawing imaginary animals. In six months, Prelutsky drew a lot of imaginary animals with strange characteristics. He loved each one, but felt something was missing. “Then one evening, I looked at them and said, ‘They need poems.’ I still don’t know why I thought of it, but within half an hour, I had all the poems written.” Publishing the poems never crossed Prelutsky’s mind in those early days. But when friends fell in love with his poems, he agreed to share them with a children’s book editor. “She didn’t think much of my illustrations (插图),” he says, “but she told me that I was a natural poet and encouraged me to keep writing.” At the time, Prelutsky was surprised at the editor’s encouragement. But more than forty books later, he’s still making friends and fans laugh. From monsters to frogs, Prelutsky has turned silly into an art form. 41. What can we learn about Prelutsky when he was a kid? A. He hated poetry. B. He took sports seriously. C. He found it hard to read poems. D. He developed an interest in business. 42. What did Prelutsky think of music? A. It was a kind of punishment. B. It was something serious. C. It was simple but indirect. D. It helped him to love poetry. 43. How did drawing influence Prelutsky? A. It drove him to love music. B. It brought out his poetic skills. C. It raised his confidence in writing. D. It helped him become a famous painter. 44. How did the editor feel about Prelutsky’s poems? A. She gave them high praise. B. She was surprised by them. C. She refused to publish them. D. She showed no interest in them. 45. What is a characteristic of Prelutsky’s poems? A. They are funny. B. They are encouraging. C. They are person-centered. D. They are family-friendly. 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. B 44. A 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记，文章介绍了Jack Prelutsky如何从讨厌诗歌到最终成为著名的儿童诗人的故事。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“Neither of his parents read poetry to him when he was little. When his fourth-grade teacher read poems in class, he thought they seemed boring. To nine-year-old Prelutsky, poetry seemed like serious business. And Prelutsky was anything but serious. “I wanted to hear poems about myself — about outer space and sports and music,” he says. “So I started to think of poetry as punishment.”(在他小的时候，他父母都没有给他读过诗。当他四年级的老师在课堂上朗读诗歌时，他觉得诗歌很无聊。对9岁的Prelutsky来说，诗歌似乎是一件严肃的事情。Prelutsky一点也不严肃。“我想听到关于我自己的诗歌——关于外太空、体育和音乐，”他说。“所以我开始认为诗歌是一种惩罚。”)”可知，Prelutsky小时候讨厌诗歌。故选A。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“I liked the way songs said what they had to say — the simple, direct, ordinary language they employed. I really think that’s what made me see poetry in a new light.(我喜欢歌曲表达它们必须表达的方式——它们使用的简单、直接、普通的语言。我真的认为这让我对诗歌有了新的认识。)”可知，Prelutsky认为音乐帮助他爱上诗歌。故选D。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In six months, Prelutsky drew a lot of imaginary animals with strange characteristics. He loved each one, but felt something was missing. “Then one evening, I looked at them and said, ‘They need poems.’ I still don’t know why I thought of it, but within half an hour, I had all the poems written.”(在六个月的时间里，Prelutsky画了许多具有奇怪特征的想象动物。他爱每一个人，但总觉得少了点什么。“然后有一天晚上，我看着它们说，‘它们需要诗歌。’我到现在也不知道自己为什么会想到这个，但不到半个小时，我就把所有的诗都写完了。”)”可知，绘画激发了他的诗歌才能。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。文章倒数第二段““She didn’t think much of my illustrations (插图),” he says, “but she told me that I was a natural poet and encouraged me to keep writing.”(“她对我的插图评价不高，”他说，“但她告诉我，我是个天生的诗人，并鼓励我继续写作。”)”可知，编辑对Prelutsky的诗歌给予了高度评价。故选A。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But more than forty books later, he’s still making friends and fans laugh. From monsters to frogs, Prelutsky has turned silly into an art form.(但在出版了四十多本书之后，他仍然能让朋友和粉丝开怀大笑。从怪物到青蛙，Prelutsky把愚蠢变成了一种艺术形式。)”可知，Prelutsky的诗歌特点在于其幽默和风趣。故选A。 3.(23-24高二下.天津南开中学.期中) Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon. I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household. Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging. Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire. As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate.
