(2023·浙江1月,B)
Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable ①lifestyle,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 ②not-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 ③every 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 ④on board,your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice:Lead by action.
24.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.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线部分所在句及第二段中的“I continue to experience this with my husband,as he is not completely zero waste like me”可知,this指代上文中的“if you’re...not everyone...bandwagon”,推测画线词组所在句表示“如果你想过一种更可持续的生活,可能并不是你周围的每个人都愿意加入这一行动”。故画线词组与Join you in what you’re doing(加入你正在做的事情)意思接近。故选B。
25.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.
答案 A
解析 观点态度题。根据第三段最后两句可推知,作者的父亲不赞成用罐子买杂货。故选A。
26.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.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段首尾两句以及最后一段可知,虽然家人不理解,但作者坚持在自己的生活细节上践行零浪费,由此可推知,作者是一个意志坚定的人。故选D。
27.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.
答案 C
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章为总分结构,第二段尾句“I’ve learned a few things...if you’re...how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.”为过渡句,下文就是作者在不被支持的家庭里改变生活方式的经历。所以文章主要内容与如何在家庭中实现“零浪费”生活方式有关,故选C。
语境猜词
①lifestyle=(合)life+style生活方式
②not-always-supportive=(合)not+always+supportive并不总是给予支持的
③every so often有时;偶尔
④on board 支持
以上试题中第24题考查词义猜测,第26题考查隐含信息推断,解题技法如下:

I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul.The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world.Words were what composed the questions we sought to ①uncover and the answers to those questions themselves.Words were everything.
That belief changed.
In an ordinary math class,my teacher posed a simple question:What’s 0.99 ②rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy.When rounded to the nearest whole number,0.99=1.Somehow,I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1,there’s still a 0.01 difference.That means even if two things are only a little different,they are still different,so doesn’t that make them completely different?
My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation(等式):1=0.9,which could also be expressed as 1=0.999999...repeating itself without ever ending.
There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation.The left side was unchangeable,objective:it contained a number that ended.On the right was something endless,a number repeating itself limitless times.Yet,somehow,these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.
Lying in bed,I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence.The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear.The concrete,whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die.But then there is that gap in between life and death.The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities,and endless opportunities into the open future.
So that’s what life is.Objective but ③imaginative.Unchangeable but limitless.Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out.Still,we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it.So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can.For now,let’s leave it at that:1=0.999999...and live a life like it.
语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要描写了在一节数学课上,由1=0.999999...这样一个神奇的数学等式引发了作者的一系列关于人生的哲理性思考。
1.What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1?
A.Their wide variety.
B.Their literary origins.
C.Their distinct sounds.

B.The question the teacher raised.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “paralleled” in paragraph 6?
A.Measured. B.Mirrored.
C.Composed. D.Influenced.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据上文的“The left side was...On the right was...”以及画线词下文“The left side of the equation represents...The right side means a time and space...”可知,这个等式与我们的存在很相似,即这个等式反映了我们的存在。画线词与B项意思相近。故选B。
4.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.The Perfect Equation
B.Numbers Build Equations
C.An Attractive Question
D.Words ④Outperform Numbers
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了作者一开始对文字的表意功能深信不疑,然而一节数学课改变了作者的观点,结合最后一段的内容,尤其是“Life is an equation...live a life like that.”可知,作者认为数学等式1=0.999999...诠释了人生。因此The Perfect Equation是一个合适的标题,最能够概括文章的主题。故选A。
语境猜词
①uncover=(派)un+cover发现
②round(熟义:圆形的) 生义(文义):把(数字)四舍五入

It was a sunny afternoon in June of 2022 when 20-year-old Anthony Perry stepped off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station.On the platform,two men were fighting bitterly.Then the ①unthinkable happened:the pair fell over the edge and onto the tracks.One man ended up on his back.Suddenly,he started convulsing(抽搐) unnaturally.He had fallen on the third rail,the conduit(导线管) for the 600 volts of electricity that powers Chicago’s L trains.The aggressor leaped backward,bounded back up onto the platform and disappeared.
Perry couldn’t just stand there and watch.He sat at the edge of the platform and eased himself down.He took a few quick bounds and approached the victim.The guy looked dead,his body still moving violently as the electricity pulsed(搏动).Gathering up his courage,Perry reached down and grasped the victim’s wrist.Instantly,he felt a blast of electric shock shoot through his body.Perry shrank and jumped back.He reached down a second time,and was shocked again.But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and ②forearm and,braving the shock,pulled with all his strength.The guy’s body slid briefly along the third rail,coming to rest on the gravel on the outer edge of the tracks.
The man was breathing,but ③irregularly.Something wasn’t right.“Give him chest compressions(按压)!” yelled a woman.Perry was no expert,but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim began convulsing.Then he heard a sudden noise behind him—medical workers and firefighters had arrived.Perry let the professionals take over.His heart still racing from the electric shocks,he climbed back up onto the platform,grabbed his things and headed home.
The evening news reported the incident.After a friend ④outed him to the media,Perry became the toast of Chicago.Perry was then recruited by the Chicago Fire Department and is now training to be an emergency medical technician.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Anthony Perry在火车站看到跌落在铁轨上的受害者后,不顾个人安危勇敢地进行救援的英勇故事。
5.What made the rescue of the victim particularly difficult?
A.The man had lost his consciousness.
B.The victim lay injured on top of a track.
C.The rescuer was at risk of an electric shock.
D.The electricity powering trains was hard to cut off.
答案 C
解析 隐含信息推断题。根据第一段中的“One man ended up on his back.Suddenly,he started convulsing(抽搐) unnaturally.He had fallen on the third rail,the conduit(导线管) for the 600 volts of electricity that powers Chicago’s L trains.”和第二段中的“Instantly,he felt a blast of electric shock shoot through his body.”可知,受害者摔在了通电的导线管上,因为触电而抽搐,Perry尝试救他的时候被电击了。由此可推知,救援者有触电的危险使救援变得尤其困难。故选C。
6.What can be inferred about Perry according to paragraphs 3-4?
A.He had received professional first aid training.
B.The local newspaper interviewed him on the spot.
C.His chest compressions played a key role in saving life.
D.His heart beat fast because of nervousness and tiredness.
答案 C
解析 隐含信息推断题。根据第三段中“The man was breathing,but irregularly.Something wasn’t right.‘Give him chest compressions(按压)!’ yelled a woman.Perry was no expert,but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim began convulsing.”可知,受害人刚被救出的时候,呼吸不规律,情况很不好,在Perry给他做完胸部按压后,他开始抽搐,情况好转。由此可推知,Perry的胸部按压对挽救生命起了关键作用。故选C。
7.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Perry ⑤landed a job in the Fire Department.
B.The city of Chicago awarded Perry a prize.
C.People in Chicago toasted Perry for his brave deeds.
D.Perry got popular and greatly admired in Chicago.
答案 D
解析 句意理解题。根据前面三段讲述的Anthony Perry在火车站英勇救援跌落在铁轨上的受害者,以及画线词的上文“The evening news reported the incident.After a friend outed him to the media”可推知,经过媒体的报道,Perry的英勇事迹会被人们知晓,观众应该会非常敬佩这位英雄。故画线句意思应该是“Perry成了芝加哥受欢迎和尊敬的人”。故选D。
8.What is the author’s main purpose of writing the text?
A.To credit a hero with saving a victim’s life.
B.To highlight Perry’s courage in stopping a fight.
C.To stress the importance of calmness in rescue work.
D.To display people’s cooperation in assisting the victim.

Last summer at a bookstore,my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown’s ①middle-grade trilogy(三部曲).He then finished it in just two days.“Dad,why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” He ②tearfully asked me.
The story is set on a remote island,where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island’s creatures,and becomes part of the community.For my son,it was the first book he discovered on his own,the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy(悲剧) and joy.
When I finished the book,I knew why Henry loved it.In our book club discussion,he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real.When talking about its final scenes,where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body,Henry cried again.His previous reading experiences had cheerful,“③happily-ever-after” endings,but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions.I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments,but failed to fully convince him.
Once our discussion ended,Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it.He read the first two books repeatedly,so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a ④copy of The Wild Robot Protects.
We both agree it is worth the wait.Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat:“the poison tide”.Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas—not just happiness and sadness,but also,given the climate-change ⑤undercurrents,hope and despair.
And,here’s something special about Roz:her physical clumsiness and confusion about life,conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth.Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place,much like a child’s journey.Readers love Roz.They learn from her.Even better,they learn alongside her.Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts,getting him ready to appreciate that,sometimes,sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的儿子阅读《荒岛机器人》三部曲的体验和感悟。
9.What drove the author to read The Wild Robot?
A.Its tragic ending.
B.Henry’s tearful recommendation.
C.Its attractive cover.

10.What is one theme of The Wild Robot Protects?
A.Family and community.
B.Concerns of global issues.
C.Exploration of the ocean.
D.Man-robot relationship.
答案 B
解析 隐含信息推断题。根据倒数第二段“Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat...Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas...given the climate-change undercurrents,hope and despair.”可推知,《荒岛机器人3》的主题之一是对全球问题的关注。故选B。
11.What makes Roz in the trilogy special?
A.Her childlike expressions.
B.Her robotic power.
C.Her struggling experiences.
D.Her adventurous spirit.
答案 C

12.Which message does this text seem to communicate?
A.Misfortune inspires great literary works.
B.Robot stories work like magic on children.
C.Book discussions help kids survive tragedies.

It was a sunny afternoon in June of 2022 when 20-year-old Anthony Perry stepped off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station.On the platform,two men were fighting bitterly.Then the ①unthinkable happened:the pair fell over the edge and onto the tracks.One man ended up on his back.Suddenly,he started convulsing(抽搐) unnaturally.He had fallen on the third rail,the conduit(导线管) for the 600 volts of electricity that powers Chicago’s L trains.The aggressor leaped backward,bounded back up onto the platform and disappeared.

Last summer at a bookstore,my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown’s ①middle-grade trilogy(三部曲).He then finished it in just two days.“Dad,why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” He ②tearfully asked me.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的儿子阅读《荒岛机器人》三部曲的体验和感悟。
The story is set on a remote island,where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island’s creatures,and becomes part of the community.For my son,it was the first book he discovered on his own,the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy(悲剧) and joy.
When I finished the book,I knew why Henry loved it.In our book club discussion,he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real.When talking about its final scenes,where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body,Henry cried again.His previous reading experiences had cheerful,“③happily-ever-after” endings,but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions.I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments,but failed to fully convince him.
Once our discussion ended,Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it.He read the first two books repeatedly,so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a ④copy of The Wild Robot Protects.
We both agree it is worth the wait.Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat:“the poison tide”.Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas—not just happiness and sadness,but also,given the climate-change ⑤undercurrents,hope and despair.
And,here’s something special about Roz:her physical clumsiness and confusion about life,conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth.Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place,much like a child’s journey.Readers love Roz.They learn from her.Even better,they learn alongside her.Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts,getting him ready to appreciate that,sometimes,sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel.

A.Its tragic ending. B.Henry’s tearful recommendation.
