(2024·新课标Ⅰ,B改编)
“I am not crazy,” says Dr.William Farber,shortly after performing acupuncture(针灸) on a rabbit.“I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little ①defensive,it might be because even some of his co-workers ②occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.But Farber is certain he’ll ③have the last laugh.He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians(兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine—combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture,chiropractic(按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber,a graduate of Colorado State University,started out as a more conventional veterinarian.He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain.He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief.Then he tried acupuncture,an ancient Chinese practice,and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments.What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients.So,after studying the techniques for a couple of years,he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition.After Charlie had a heart attack,Tindale says,she was prepared to put him to sleep,but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months.And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse,Nappy,“moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time,and if the past is any ④indication,he may be right:Since 1982,membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700.“Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says.“I will do anything to help an animal.That’s my job.”

Baseball was everything to Walker Smallwood.But when he was just 14 years old,he got ①heartbreaking news that he had a rare form of bone cancer growing in his left leg.His baseball playing came to a sudden stop as he spent the next three years undergoing six surgeries,24 treatments and 18 hospital stays.
The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option.“At the time I guess I was just kind of in denial,because my whole life,day in and day out,was built around baseball and sports,” Walker said.“It was pretty disastrous,” his mom,Pam said.The most the 17-year-old would be able to do is play ②catch with his teammates as they warmed up for their games.
As the team approached the final game of the ③season,Walker’s parents and coach agreed that he could pitch(投球) for an inning(一局) or two for the old time’s sake.
“Say you did it,have some fun,and then that’ll be it.Obviously,that’s not what happened,”Walker said.
What ended up happening was more than anyone ever expected.Walker not only threw solid pitches in that first inning,but he also ended up pitching a no-hitter.The coach decided to keep him in the game until he started giving up pitches,but that never happened.Smallwood struck out all but two hitters for the entire game and tied a school record in the process.
“I was in tears,most of the ④stands were in tears—just one of those special moments that we’ll cherish forever,” mom Pam said.Smallwood may never play again.He’s actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you’ve already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了17岁男孩Walker Smallwood因患一种罕见的癌症不得不放弃棒球运动。但他在重返球场参加最后一场比赛时展示了出人意料的表现。
1.What does the word “It” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The serious injury to his leg.
B.The childhood baseball dream.
C.The risk of multiple surgeries.
D.The long-term mental stress.
答案 A
解析 代词指代题。根据第二段首句“The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option.”以及Walker和他妈妈得知这一事实之后的陈述可知,他妈妈认为这个结果是灾难性的,所以it在这里指代他的腿无力支持高强度运动,即他的腿严重受伤。
2.Which of the following best describes Walker Smallwood?
A.Confident and energetic.
B.Ambitious and determined.
C.Brilliant and considerate.
D.Optimistic and independent.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段Walker的话“Say you did it,have some fun,and then that’ll be it.Obviously,that’s not what happened”可知,Walker在得知有机会参加最后一场比赛后,就决心不只是去玩玩,而是认真打比赛。根据第五段可知,整场比赛他都全力以赴。从这里可以看出这位年轻投手有追求,有抱负,有决心。
3.Why does the author mention a World Series ring in the last paragraph?
A.To emphasize the value of cherishing every moment.
B.To stress the significance of any championship prize.
C.To highlight Walker’s personal success at the game.
D.To serve as a reminder of challenges in Walker’s life.
答案 C
解析 写作意图题。从最后一段中“Smallwood may never play again.He’s actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you’ve already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated.”可推知,作者提到世界大赛冠军戒指是为了强调 Smallwood当天在棒球场上的成就超过了任何冠军奖的意义。
4.What can we learn from Walker’s story?
A.Misfortune can tell us what fortune is.
B.You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
C.Constant dropping wears away a stone.
D.What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了17岁男孩Walker Smallwood因患一种罕见的癌症不得不放弃棒球运动。但当他重返球场参加最后一场比赛时,他的表现震惊所有人。由此我们可以得出:无法打败你的事情才能让你更坚强。

Courage is a huge theme in my life,a quality I constantly seek,appreciate,and analyze.The root of “courage” is “cor”,the Latin word for heart.Originally,courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays,I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage.During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students,I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group.Despite my suggestions to rest,she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.
Panicked,I called out to the front for help,but there was no response,and we had no cellphone signal.Fortunately,two students just came back to check out on us.They offered assistance and calmed us down.As we continued at a slower pace,they shared their own experiences,from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said,looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started.But with practice and proper pace,you’ll get there too.”
“Yeah,don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added.“It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright.In fact,it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it.That’s how we improve and grow.” Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me.However,the two students ①addressed the celebrating group directly,emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments.Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery,and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group.Courage,I’ve come to realize,has a ripple effect.Each time we choose courage,we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.

My three grandchildren grew up,listening to someone read and learning to read.They discovered Jeanne Birdsall,Ben Hatke,Sara Penny packer and Rick Riordan.I read—and loved—many of the books.Often,I was reminded of my running story.
I started running when my older daughter was in primary school.During those early days,she made her disrespect for running clear.Later she did run.She ran throughout high school and had been running ever since.We often ran together.At first,I slowed down for her.But very soon,her pace improved,and she was slowing down for me.
Now I compared this with my reading grandchildren.At first,adults—parents,grandparents and teachers—led the way.Then the kids learned to read,and soon they were mere specks in the distance,gulping down books we’d never heard of,referring to series we’d never come across.
Early on,I began preparing myself for the ①inevitable.The era of cozy reading sessions would end.Indeed,it ended,in the case of my granddaughter.She and her mother still read together,but mostly she read on her own.My grandsons also read like they breathed—in the car,at the table,while walking from the parking lot to the ball field and back again,eyes on their books.
I ②trailed behind them this summer as they collected a heaping pile of books from the library.They sustained them through ten days in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks.The night before our flight home,each of them was read,some more than once.
Recently,I picked up a book once owned by a child who is now these boys’ uncle.I began reading aloud during a moment of wild enjoyment,and within minutes both boys were beside me on the couch,listening to narrator Ludlow Fitch describe a terrifying attack and his escape to the tiny village of Pagus Parvus.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者是如何在生活中引领孙子孙女们读书,并让他们爱上读书的。

A.To explain the benefits of running.
B.To share her running experience.
C.To exhibit her girl’s talent for running.

答案 D

10.What is the key to guiding children to read in the author’s view?
A.Setting an attainable goal.
B.Being a model yourself.
C.Discovering their interests.
D.Providing suitable books.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段前三句,第二段提到的女儿从一开始不愿跑步到经常和作者一起跑步并且速度提高和第三段第二、三句可推知,作者认为引导孩子阅读的关键是以身示范,自己先成为榜样。故选B。
11.What does the underlined part imply in paragraph 3?
A.They made their own choice.
B.They soon followed suit.
C.They quickly lost interest.
D.They did much better.

My three grandchildren grew up,listening to someone read and learning to read.They discovered Jeanne Birdsall,Ben Hatke,Sara Penny packer and Rick Riordan.I read—and loved—many of the books.Often,I was reminded of my running story.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者是如何在生活中引领孙子孙女们读书,并让他们爱上读书的。
I started running when my older daughter was in primary school.During those early days,she made her disrespect for running clear.Later she did run.She ran throughout high school and had been running ever since.We often ran together.At first,I slowed down for her.But very soon,her pace improved,and she was slowing down for me.
Now I compared this with my reading grandchildren.At first,adults—parents,grandparents and teachers—led the way.Then the kids learned to read,and soon they were mere specks in the distance,gulping down books we’d never heard of,referring to series we’d never come across.
Early on,I began preparing myself for the ①inevitable.The era of cozy reading sessions would end.Indeed,it ended,in the case of my granddaughter.She and her mother still read together,but mostly she read on her own.My grandsons also read like they breathed—in the car,at the table,while walking from the parking lot to the ball field and back again,eyes on their books.
I ②trailed behind them this summer as they collected a heaping pile of books from the library.They sustained them through ten days in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks.The night before our flight home,each of them was read,some more than once.
Recently,I picked up a book once owned by a child who is now these boys’ uncle.I began reading aloud during a moment of wild enjoyment,and within minutes both boys were beside me on the couch,listening to narrator Ludlow Fitch describe a terrifying attack and his escape to the tiny village of Pagus Parvus.
