B
He really did look like a tourist, with a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen cream sticking out of his bag. The fat man sat on the terrace (平台), sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a tourism brochure. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasn’t looking at the brochure: he hadn’t turned a page for the last ten minutes. As I brought him his dishes, he coughed up a “thank you” and looked at me briefly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar across his left eyebrow.
I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t quite place him. Then it hit me — the car accident. The mysterious stranger who helped me out of my crashed car, just before it exploded. I rushed back to his table. He was gone.
I moved his saucer and found his tip, along with a card: I am deeply grateful to you. The night of your car accident, I was on my way to rob a jewelry store. Saving your life brought things back in a right way. I now live an honest life, thanks to you. Mr. D.
I shivered (震颤). The night of my car accident, I was heading for an interview in an illegal dance club. Seeing human kindness through his heroic gesture turned my life around and bought faith back into my life. I unfolded the tip he left. Among the singles was a grand (一千块) with a pen mark underlining “Thank you.” I said a silent prayer for him and got back to work, smiling.
31. Why did the fat man look like a tourist?
A. Because he used money not the same as the locals.
B. Because he carried what tourist usually have on.
C. Because he didn’t look like a native citizen.
D. Because he ordered strange food and drinks.
32. How did the author know the man didn’t read the brochure?
A. He was drinking all the time. B. He sat still with his sunglasses.
C. The page remained unturned. D. He was staring at the writer.
33. What happened on the night of the car accident?
A. A mysterious stranger helped the author out of the crashed car.
B. The author helped a stranger escape from the crashed car.
C. A mysterious man robbed the author of a grand.
D. The author was interviewed for an illegal dance club.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. They kept in touch with each other since then.
B. The author had been searching for the man.
C. The man became a rich man years later.
D. The author didn’t go to that interview.
35. What is their attitude towards each other?
A. Sympathetic. B. Grateful. C. Worried. D. Trusty.
C
The United States seems to have become extremely enthusiastic about competition. The famous Scripps National Spelling Bee—an annual spelling contest—now allows kids who last in regional competitions but whose parents agree to pay an entry fee (费用) along with their own food and accommodation to compete. And while some kids are working for what they call a spelling “career”, others are approaching chess competitions, dance competitions, cooking or other passions that previous generations developed somewhat later in life.
I’m disturbed by the phenomenon (现象), which seems to be getting worse and more intense.
My teacher always warned us that competition is a destructive quality; that the goal is never to beat anyone else. I think he’ll be cheered by author Peggy Noonan’s idea that a lot of us are running our own races, trying to rise to the occasion and beat some past and limited conception of ourselves by doing something great.
I heartily agree. Instead of paying attention to the accomplishments or possessions of others, we need to focus on our own potential, our own growth and take pleasure in our own particular set of circumstances. The battle for life is not against anyone else but against the darkness inside that tries to bring us down. I wish you only well. Your good doesn’t reduce mine. Your bad gives me no pleasure
Ms. Noonan also suggests that “you’re running your own race alongside others running theirs, and in the same direction. You’re doing something great together.” If we stop worrying about what our neighbor is earning or driving, the size of his house, the success of his marriage, the accomplishments of his children, we can sit back and enjoy our own lives. And if we all focus on what we each can achieve, regardless of anyone else, we have a chance of working as one, of actually being united.
Competition divides us. There are winners and losers. But that’s a very limited picture of reality. It may apply to spelling bees and soccer matches and even in some college classes, but life isn’t about triumphing (战胜) over someone else; it’s about triumphing over ourselves. The only acceptable competition is one where we encourage each other to be the best human being possible, and that’s the only game where “everyone is a winner”.
36. What does the author worry about?
A. Youth competition is fierce. B. Youth competition is expensive.
C. Youth competition lacks fairness. D. Youth competition lacks diversity.
37. What do you know about Peggy Noonan?
A. She’s also a student of the author’s teacher’s.
B. She thinks competition is a destructive quality.
C. She taught the author how to understand competition.
D. She and the author’s teacher have similar views on competition.
38. What should we do in the battle for life according to the author?
A. Know our competitors well. B. Leave everything to chance.
C. Get rid of the bad things inside us. D. Learn from others’ successes and failures.
39. How does Peggy Noonan describe the way people live their lives?
A People take turns to lead the race.
B. People follow parallel paths to each other.
C. One man’s loss is another man’s gain.
D. No one goes in the same direction as anyone else.
40. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Your Real Competition Is With Yourself
B. Everyone Is a Winner in the Battle for Life
C. Competition Is a Good Thing, But Not to the Youth
D. Through Competition, We Become Better Ourselves

“Someone once asked me, ‘What’s the tool you would want to give any student’? And I said, ‘A mask and snorkel (潜水通气管) set,’’’ the ocean biologist Thys says in a video. And Thys explains, “Ninety-eight percent of the living space on this planet is the ocean. It’s worth a view.”
Thys has devoted her career to seeing the ocean, and to helping others watch the great diversity of the underwater world. A big part of what motivates her work is the chance to let people develop a sense of respect for the grandness of the ocean, and to get people to participate in efforts to protect endangered ocean ecosystems.
Since studying ocean biology, Thys has focused her research on how sea animals live. One animal she particularly studies is the ocean sunfish. “It’s so different from any other fish,” says Thys. “It looks like a mistake. Where does the tail go?” Thys adds. “The sunfish provides an entry point to understanding more about the behavior of creatures in the ocean, and about how environmental changes impact underwater ecosystems.”
Thys’s work also takes her above ground, where she’s looking at ways to create new connections between human populations and natural environments to help address social and environmental challenges. For instance, she’s working on nature’s effects on mental well-being.
Thys’s passion for her work is evident in every lecture, video, and public appearance she makes. Using the media, Thys encourages people to learn about the ocean and love it. Due to many ocean research projects and activities from the media, Thys is up to her neck in work every day. She could hardly spare plenty of time for a good rest. Thys’s devotion to her work as an ocean scientist and ecological warrior is infectious. She’s a role model and an inspiring guide to ocean life.
51. Why would Thys like to send students a mask and snorkel set? (no more than 8 words)
_________________________________________
52. What greatly motivates Thys’s work according to Paragraph 2? (no more than 10 words)

He really did look like a tourist, with a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen cream sticking out of his bag. The fat man sat on the terrace (平台), sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a tourism brochure. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasn’t looking at the brochure: he hadn’t turned a page for the last ten minutes. As I brought him his dishes, he coughed up a “thank you” and looked at me briefly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar across his left eyebrow.
I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t quite place him. Then it hit me — the car accident. The mysterious stranger who helped me out of my crashed car, just before it exploded. I rushed back to his table. He was gone.
I moved his saucer and found his tip, along with a card: I am deeply grateful to you. The night of your car accident, I was on my way to rob a jewelry store. Saving your life brought things back in a right way. I now live an honest life, thanks to you. Mr. D.
I shivered (震颤). The night of my car accident, I was heading for an interview in an illegal dance club. Seeing human kindness through his heroic gesture turned my life around and bought faith back into my life. I unfolded the tip he left. Among the singles was a grand (一千块) with a pen mark underlining “Thank you.” I said a silent prayer for him and got back to work, smiling.
31. Why did the fat man look like a tourist?
A. Because he used money not the same as the locals.
B. Because he carried what tourist usually have on.
C. Because he didn’t look like a native citizen.
D. Because he ordered strange food and drinks.
32. How did the author know the man didn’t read the brochure?
A. He was drinking all the time. B. He sat still with his sunglasses.
C. The page remained unturned. D. He was staring at the writer.

C
The United States seems to have become extremely enthusiastic about competition. The famous Scripps National Spelling Bee—an annual spelling contest—now allows kids who last in regional competitions but whose parents agree to pay an entry fee (费用) along with their own food and accommodation to compete. And while some kids are working for what they call a spelling “career”, others are approaching chess competitions, dance competitions, cooking or other passions that previous generations developed somewhat later in life.
I’m disturbed by the phenomenon (现象), which seems to be getting worse and more intense.
My teacher always warned us that competition is a destructive quality; that the goal is never to beat anyone else. I think he’ll be cheered by author Peggy Noonan’s idea that a lot of us are running our own races, trying to rise to the occasion and beat some past and limited conception of ourselves by doing something great.
I heartily agree. Instead of paying attention to the accomplishments or possessions of others, we need to focus on our own potential, our own growth and take pleasure in our own particular set of circumstances. The battle for life is not against anyone else but against the darkness inside that tries to bring us down. I wish you only well. Your good doesn’t reduce mine. Your bad gives me no pleasure
Ms. Noonan also suggests that “you’re running your own race alongside others running theirs, and in the same direction. You’re doing something great together.” If we stop worrying about what our neighbor is earning or driving, the size of his house, the success of his marriage, the accomplishments of his children, we can sit back and enjoy our own lives. And if we all focus on what we each can achieve, regardless of anyone else, we have a chance of working as one, of actually being united.
Competition divides us. There are winners and losers. But that’s a very limited picture of reality. It may apply to spelling bees and soccer matches and even in some college classes, but life isn’t about triumphing (战胜) over someone else; it’s about triumphing over ourselves. The only acceptable competition is one where we encourage each other to be the best human being possible, and that’s the only game where “everyone is a winner”.
36. What does the author worry about?
A. Youth competition is fierce. B. Youth competition is expensive.
C. Youth competition lacks fairness. D. Youth competition lacks diversity.
37. What do you know about Peggy Noonan?
A. She’s also a student of the author’s teacher’s.
B. She thinks competition is a destructive quality.
C. She taught the author how to understand competition.
D. She and the author’s teacher have similar views on competition.
38. What should we do in the battle for life according to the author?
A. Know our competitors well. B. Leave everything to chance.
C. Get rid of the bad things inside us. D. Learn from others’ successes and failures.
39. How does Peggy Noonan describe the way people live their lives?
A. People take turns to lead the race.
B. People follow parallel paths to each other.
C. One man’s loss is another man’s gain.
D No one goes in the same direction as anyone else.
40. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Your Real Competition Is With Yourself
B. Everyone Is a Winner in the Battle for Life
C. Competition Is a Good Thing, But Not to the Youth
D. Through Competition, We Become Better Ourselves
【答案】36. A 37. D 38. C 39. B 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。美国似乎对竞争变得极度热情,作者论述了自己对“竞争”的理解。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“And while some kids are working for what they call a spelling “career”, others are approaching chess competitions, dance competitions, cooking or other passions that previous generations developed somewhat later in life. (当一些孩子正在为他们所谓的拼写“职业”而努力时,另一些孩子正在着手处理象棋比赛、舞蹈比赛、烹饪或前几代人在生活中稍晚发展起来的其他爱好)”以及第二段“I’m disturbed by the phenomenon, which seems to be getting worse and more intense.(我对这种现象感到不安,这种现象似乎变得更糟糕更严重)”可知,作者担心的是青少年竞争激烈这一现象。故选A项。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“My teacher always warned us that competition is a destructive quality; that the goal is never to beat anyone else. I think he’ll be cheered by author Peggy Noonan’s idea that a lot of us are running our own races, trying to rise to the occasion and beat some past and limited conception of ourselves by doing something great.(我的老师总是告诫我们,竞争是一种破坏性的品质;我们的目标是永远不击败任何其他人。我想,他会因作者佩吉·努南的观点而高兴,佩吉·努南认为,我们中的很多人都在进行自己的比赛,努力通过做一些伟大的事情来战胜过去对自己的局限性)”可知,佩吉·努南和作者的老师都认为竞争不是去击败任何其他人,而是战胜过去的自己,两人对竞争有相似的看法。故选D项。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The battle for life is not against anyone else but against the darkness inside that tries to bring us down.(生命之战不是与任何其他人对抗,而是与内心试图打倒我们的黑暗作斗争)”可知,作者认为,在生命之战中,我们应该与内心试图打倒我们的黑暗作斗争,摆脱内心的坏东西。故选C项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Ms. Noonan also suggests that “you’re running your own race alongside others running theirs, and in the same direction. You’re doing something great together.”(努南女士也表明,“你和其他人一起跑自己的比赛,并且是朝着相同的方向跑。你们在一起做一些伟大的事情。”)”可知,佩吉·努南认为人们都在和彼此沿着平行的道路、朝着相同的方向奔跑,一起做一些伟大的事情。故选B项。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The only acceptable competition is one where we encourage each other to be the best human being possible, and that’s the only game where “everyone is a winner”.(唯一可以接受的竞争是我们鼓励彼此成为尽可能最好的人,这是唯一一场“每个人都是赢家”的比赛)”以及文章内容可知,在美国似乎对竞争变得极度热情的背景下,作者论述了自己对“竞争”的理解,竞争的对手不是其他人,而是你自己,所以“你真正的竞争对手是你自己”可以作为文章标题。故选A项。

“Someone once asked me, ‘What’s the tool you would want to give any student’? And I said, ‘A mask and snorkel (潜水通气管) set,’’’ the ocean biologist Thys says in a video. And Thys explains, “Ninety-eight percent of the living space on this planet is the ocean. It’s worth a view.”
Thys has devoted her career to seeing the ocean, and to helping others watch the great diversity of the underwater world. A big part of what motivates her work is the chance to let people develop a sense of respect for the grandness of the ocean, and to get people to participate in efforts to protect endangered ocean ecosystems.
Since studying ocean biology, Thys has focused her research on how sea animals live. One animal she particularly studies is the ocean sunfish. “It’s so different from any other fish,” says Thys. “It looks like a mistake. Where does the tail go?” Thys adds. “The sunfish provides an entry point to understanding more about the behavior of creatures in the ocean, and about how environmental changes impact underwater ecosystems.”
Thys’s work also takes her above ground where she’s looking at ways to create new connections between human populations and natural environments to help address social and environmental challenges. For instance, she’s working on nature’s effects on mental well-being.
Thys’s passion for her work is evident in every lecture, video, and public appearance she makes. Using the media, Thys encourages people to learn about the ocean and love it. Due to many ocean research projects and activities from the media, Thys is up to her neck in work every day. She could hardly spare plenty of time for a good rest. Thys’s devotion to her work as an ocean scientist and ecological warrior is infectious. She’s a role model and an inspiring guide to ocean life.

考查推理判断。根据首段““Someone once asked me, ‘What’s the tool you would want to give any student’? And I said, ‘A mask and snorkel (潜水通气管) set,’’’ the ocean biologist Thys says in a video. And Thys explains, “Ninety-eight percent of the living space on this planet is the ocean. It’s worth a view.”(“有人曾经问我,‘你想给学生什么工具?’”海洋生物学家Thys在一段视频中说:“我说,‘一套面罩和通气管。’”Thys解释说:“这个星球上98%的生存空间是海洋。值得一看。”)”可知,Thys认为这个星球上98%的生存空间是海洋,值得一看,由此可知,Thys送给学生面罩和通气管是为了鼓励他们探索海洋。故答案为To encourage them to explore the ocean.

【53题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第三段中的““It’s so different from any other fish,” says Thys. “It looks like a mistake. Where does the tail go?” Thys adds. “The sunfish provides an entry point to understanding more about the behavior of creatures in the ocean, and about how environmental changes impact underwater ecosystems.”(“它和其他任何鱼都不一样,”Thys说。“这看起来像是一个错误。尾巴去哪儿了?”Thys补充道。“太阳鱼为更多地了解海洋生物的行为以及环境变化如何影响水下生态系统提供了一个切入点。”)”可知,sunfish与其它的鱼不同,它为了更多了解海洋生物的行为以及环境变化如何影响水下生态系统,由此可知,Thys认为太阳鱼是独一无二的,具有很大的科学价值。故答案为It is unique and has great scientific value.
【54题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据划线句子后的“She could hardly spare plenty of time for a good rest.(她几乎抽不出足够的时间好好休息。)”可知,Thys几乎抽不出时间好好休息,结合划线句子前的“Due to many ocean research projects and activities from the media(由于媒体的海洋研究项目和活动很多)”可知,Thys有很多的海洋研究项目和活动,由此可知,划线部分的意思应与“她忙于工作”意义相近。故答案为is busy with her work.

考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Thys has devoted her career to seeing the ocean, and to helping others watch the great diversity of the underwater world.(Thys将她的职业生涯奉献给了观察海洋,并帮助其他人观察海底世界的巨大多样性。)”可知,Thys把职业生涯献给了海洋观察,并帮助其他人观察海底世界的巨大多样性,由此可知,她是一个值得尊敬的人,结合倒数第二段中的“Thys’s work also takes her above ground, where she’s looking at ways to create new connections between human populations and natural environments to help address social and environmental challenges.(Thys的工作也将她带到地面上,在那里她正在寻找在人口和自然环境之间建立新联系的方法,以帮助解决社会和环境挑战。)”可知,她在寻找人类与自然环境之间的新联系,已帮助解决社会和环境的挑战,由此可知,她的工作是有意义的,对社会有很大的影响。故答案为She’s a respectable scientist and her work is quite meaningful which can make a big difference to the earth.
