专题02 阅读理解之记叙文 （一） 【2023-2024学年安徽省天一大联考高二下学期7月期末】In February 2021, M. J. “Sunny” Eberhart started to walk. And walk, and walk. Now, the 83-year old nicknamed “Nimblewill Nomad” has become the oldest person to hike the Appalachian Trail. He triumphantly arrived in Dalton, Massachusetts, in November, having successfully traversed(穿越)the famous 2, 193-mile route that stretches from Georgia to Maine. Eberhart broke the record previously held by fellow hiker Dale Sanders, or “Grey Beard”. Sanders, who walked the final stretch with Eberhart, later gave him a hiking stick to mark Eberhart’s record-breaking hike. “My dear friend Nimblewill is taking my record away from me, and I’m happy for him,” Sanders said. “Records are made to be broken.” Eberhart first set out from his home in Flagg Mountain, Alabama, nine months earlier, starting on what he called “Odyssey 2021 Bama to Baxter — Hike On”. “This will be the ultimate journey in this old man’s life, one of body, mind and spirit,” Eberhart explained on his hiking blog. As a serious hiker, Eberhart didn’t merely drive to the Springer Mountain trailhead in northern Georgia. Instead, he walked the 400 miles from Flagg Mountain. Only then did Eberhart take up the Appalachian Trail himself, carrying a six-pound pack with a tent, a sleeping bag, and other equipment. Conscious of his age, Eberhart traversed the trail out of order to take advantage of good weather. He slept in the wild and hiked portions of the trail with others. Every day, he thought about quitting. “I knew what was coming,” Eberhart said, remembering the pain that racked his body during the hike, especially his feet. “And day to day, the challenge.” But he took inspiration from Lance Armstrong, who once said that pain was temporary but defeat was forever. “Eighty percent of it is mental courage,” Eberhart said. “And that is why so many people fail.” 4．How did Sanders react to Eberhart’s breaking the record? A．He was much surprised. B．He felt a little disappointed. C．He was doubtful about it. D．He accepted it naturally. 5．Which is the starting point of Eberhart’s hiking? A．Dalton, Massachusetts. B．The Appalachian Trail. C．Flagg Mountain, Alabama. D．The Springer Mountain, Georgia. 6．What do we know about Eberhart’s hiking? A．He was aided by a hiking stick all the way. B．He was not fully prepared for the bad weather. C．He completed it successfully without others’ company. D．He was well aware of its challenges in the beginning. 7．What is largely to blame for many hikers’ failure according to Eberhart? A．The difficulties during the journey. B．Their lack of courage. C．Their overconfidence. D．The poor planning. 【答案】4．D 5．C 6．D 7．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了2021年2月，83岁的老人埃伯哈特成为阿巴拉契亚步道上最年长的徒步旅行者。11月，他成功地穿越了从乔治亚州到缅因州长达2193英里的著名路线，胜利地到达了马萨诸塞州的道尔顿。埃伯哈特打破了此前由同行徒步旅行者戴尔·桑德斯保持的纪录。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“Sanders, who walked the final stretch with Eberhart, later gave him a hiking stick to mark Eberhart’s record-breaking hike. “My dear friend Nimblewill is taking my record away from me, and I’m happy for him,” Sanders said. “Records are made to be broken.””（桑德斯和埃伯哈特一起走完最后一段路，后来给了他一根登山杖，纪念埃伯哈特的破纪录徒步旅行。桑德斯说：“我亲爱的朋友尼布尔威尔正在夺走我的纪录，我为他感到高兴。”“记录就是用来被打破的。”）可推知，桑德斯对埃伯哈特打破纪录很自然地接受了。故选D项。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Eberhart first set out from his home in Flagg Mountain, Alabama, nine months earlier, starting on what he called “Odyssey 2021 Bama to Baxter—Hike On”.”（9个月前，埃伯哈特第一次从阿拉巴马州弗拉格山的家中出发，开始了他所谓的“奥德赛2021巴马到巴克斯特徒步旅行”。）可知，埃伯哈特徒步旅行的起点是阿拉巴马州弗拉格山。故选C项。 6．推理判断题。根据第四段中““This will be the ultimate journey in this old man’s life, one of body, mind and spirit,” Eberhart explained on his hiking blog.”（埃伯哈特在他的徒步博客上解释说：“这将是这位老人一生中身体、思想和精神的终极旅程。”）可推知，关于埃伯哈特的徒步旅行我们知道他一开始就清楚地意识到它的挑战。故选D项。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But he took inspiration from Lance Armstrong, who once said that pain was temporary but defeat was forever. “Eighty percent of it is mental courage,” Eberhart said. “And that is why so many people fail.””（但他从兰斯·阿姆斯特朗(Lance Armstrong)那里得到了启发，阿姆斯特朗曾说过，痛苦是暂时的，失败是永远的。“百分之八十是精神勇气，”埃伯哈特说。“这就是为什么这么多人失败的原因。”）可推知，埃伯哈特认为，许多徒步旅行者失败的主要原因是他们缺乏勇气。故选B项。 （二） 【2023-2024学年安徽省安庆市等三市高二下学期7月期末】As Franklin D．Roosevelt once said, “a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. ”This certainly applies to New York-born competitive sailor Cole Brauer, the first American woman to competitively sail solo (独自) around the world. Her calm personality and rich knowledge of the sport are the perfect recipe for success, as Brauer serves as a leading figure in this industry. The 29-year-old began the Global Solo Challenge departing from A Coruna, Spain, in October 2023. Finally, she made her way back to land in March 2024, aboard her boat named First Light. This competition is for sailors who desire a challenge to sail around the sea, sharpening their skills with each wave they leave behind them. Throughout her months at sea, Brauer was not frightened by the wildly unpredictable behaviors of Mother Nature. She worked tirelessly towards achieving her incredible achievement. Along the way, the determined competitor recorded her 130-day journey at sea on Instagram. In addition to documenting her experiences, Brauer also educated her viewers on various sailing terms and the application of different sailing techniques. For example, she references the term “reefing” the sail. This means to lower your sail to accommodate increases in wind, allowing the boat to maintain a manageable speed that allows its captain to have more controlled steering (驾驶) . As a former student of the University of Hawaii, Brauer achieved many academic and athletic achievements. From earning the 2017 Jack Bonham Award for academic and athletic performance to being a part of the Intercollegiate Sailing Association Academic All-American Team twice, she continued to raise the bar. And with this latest challenge, Brauer had opportunities to improve her skills in the unique backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. As she sailed from Spain to South Africa and Australia, Brauer finally crossed the Atlantic Ocean back to her starting point — A Coruna. Her dedicated spirit, enthusiasm for life, and desire to inspire young women to pursue their dreams shone through her expedition. 4．What’s the key to Brauer’s success? A．Her good luck and previous experience. B．Her academic background and desire for success. C．Her willingness to challenge and love for adventure. D．Her calm personality and deep understanding of sailing. 5．What did Brauer do during the competition? A．She doubted her sailing skills occasionally. B．She documented her sea journey on Instagram. C．She predicted behaviors of Mother Nature successfully. D．She controlled the speed based on viewers' techniques. 6．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A．The Atlantic Ocean was easy to sail through. B．Sailing skills were enhanced during the voyage. C．Brauer dropped out of the University of Hawaii. D．Brauer had an average performance in academics. 7．What might be the best title for the text? A．A Special Young Woman B．The Vital Sailing Skills C．Sailing around the World D．Meeting New Challenges 【答案】4．D 5．B 6．B 7．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文介绍了一位名叫Cole Brauer的美国女性帆船运动员，她是第一位独自完成环球航行的美国女性。她在航海过程中展现了冷静的个性和丰富的航海知识，成为了这一行业的佼佼者。她在航海过程中不断挑战自己，提升技能，并通过社交媒体分享自己的经历，教育观众有关航海的术语和技术。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段“Her calm personality and rich knowledge of the sport are the perfect recipe for success, as Brauer serves as a leading figure in this industry. (她冷静的个性和丰富的运动知识是成功的完美秘诀，因为Brauer 是这个行业的领军人物。)”可知，Brauer冷静的个性和对航海的深刻理解是她成功的关键。故选D项。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段“Along the way, the determined competitor recorded her 130-day journey at sea on Instagram. (一路上，这位意志坚定的选手在Instagram上记录了她130天的海上旅程。)”可知，在整个比赛中，Brauer在Instagram上记录了自己的海上之旅。故选B项。 6．推理判断题。根据第三段“And with this latest challenge, Brauer had opportunities to improve her skills in the unique backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.(通过这次最新的挑战，Brauer有机会在太平洋的独特背景下提高自己的技能。)”可以推测，ColeBrauer在航行中提高了航海技能。故选B项。 7．主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段“The 29-year-old began the Global Solo Challenge departing from A Coruna, Spain, in October 2023. Finally, she made her way back to land in March 2024, aboard her boat named First Light. This competition is for sailors who desire a challenge to sail around the sea, sharpening their skills with each wave they leave behind them.(这位29岁的选手于2023年10月从西班牙拉科鲁尼亚出发，开始了全球单人挑战赛。最后，她于2024年3月乘坐名为‘第一之光’的船返回陆地。这项比赛是为那些渴望挑战绕海航行的水手们举办的，他们会随着身后的每一次海浪磨练自己的技能。)”可知，文章主要围绕Cole Brauer独自环球航行的经历展开，她是第一位独自完成环球航行的美国女性。故C项Sailing around the World(环游世界)适合作为本文的标题。故选C项。 （三） 【2023-2024学年安徽省亳州市高二下学期7月期末】 After the knock-out Maui wildfires, people from all walks of life managed to find ways to support the victims. While many felt more comfortable giving to the Hawaii Red Cross or grassroots organizations, others wanted to donate directly to the people in need. Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson felt that way too, so they created The People’s Fund of Maui, which aims to support the displaced residents of Lahaina as they try to rebuild their lives. “I have been meeting with people throughout the community that were impacted by the fires over the last few weeks, asking what they most needed and how I could be of service,” Winfrey said in a statement. “The main thing I’ve been hearing is their concern about how to move forward under the enormous financial burden (负担). The community has come together in so many wonderful ways, and my intention is to support those impacted as they determine what rebuilding looks like for them.” Winfrey and Johnson posted a video announcing a donation of $10 million on Instagram, and calling for those who need assistance to apply. The People’s Fund of Maui aims to provide direct relief to individuals in the form of $1,200 monthly payments for as long as possible. The recipients of this fundraiser are individuals who are over the age of 18, reside in Lahaina and Kula, and lost their homes during the fire. “We are beyond grateful to be working alongside community leaders of Maui to launch the People’s Fund of Maui,” Johnson shared in a statement. “These leaders are offering their guidance to ensure our fund can put money directly in the. hands of those individuals most affected.” Johnson, who spent some time in Honolulu as a kid, praised first responders and com munity members who have stepped up to the challenge. “As people around the world watched the great loss caused by the Maui wildfires, they also witnessed the great spirit of our Polynesian culture and the strength of the people of Maui,” said Johnson. 4．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1?

When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd when taking his picture. The flash on their camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash were being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth mentioned it to their doctor, she shined a light into Noah’s eye, and saw the same white reflection. She realized there was something wrong and arranged for a complete examination for Noah right away. As the result showed, a white reflection is a telltale sign of retinal cancer and that was exactly what Noah had. He endured months of painful treatments, but doctors ultimately could not save his eye. However, Noah’s condition was treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw couldn’t help but wonder whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every picture of Noah and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. Bryan, a chemistry professor found by the time Noah was four months old, it appeared in approximately 25 percent of the pictures taken of him. It was too late for Noah’s eye, but Bryan was bent on putting his hard-won insights to good use. He created a database that charted the cancer’s appearance in every photo. He also collected photos and data from eight other children with the same condition. Armed with the data, he began to work with colleagues to develop an app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (检眼镜): White Eye Detector, and it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple’s App Store. “I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this.” Bryan told the interviewer. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only can this software save vision, but it can save lives.” 24．What did Elizabeth find when taking pictures of Noah? A．A white spot appeared in Noah’s right eye. B．Noah’s left eye was unusually red. C．Her son developed retinal cancer. D．Her camera failed to function. 25．How did the doctor react after hearing Elizabeth’s description? A．She claimed everything was fine with Noah’s eye. B．She realized she could do nothing to save Noah’s eye. C．She ignored her doubt based on previous experience. D．She had Noah thoroughly examined almost without delay. 26．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A．The first picture of Noah was taken 12 days after his birth. B．Noah’s condition was by no means incurable with early detection. C．The white spot appeared in a quarter of the pictures taken of Noah. D．Bryan looked through the photos to find a cure for Noah’s disease. 27．Which of the following best describes Bryan’s creation? A．Easily-earned. B．Well-received. C．Far-reaching. D．Time-consuming. 【答案】24．A 25．D 26．B 27．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Bryan的儿子Noah在一次拍照中发现右眼出现了白点与左眼不同，并被送医发现了患有癌症，但是因为发现太晚而无法治疗，所以Bryan决定通过设计一款app，在拍照时帮助患有这种病的孩子早点被发现，早点治疗。 24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The flash on their camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash were being reflected back at the camera by something.(相机上的闪光灯在诺亚左眼中心产生了典型的红点，但右眼中心有一个白点，几乎就像闪光灯被什么东西反射回相机一样。)”可知，伊丽莎白在给诺亚拍照时发现了诺亚的右眼出现了一个白点。故选A项。 25．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When Elizabeth mentioned it to their doctor, she shined a light into Noah’s eye, and saw the same white reflection. She realized there was something wrong and arranged for a complete examination for Noah right away.(当伊丽莎白向医生提起这件事时，她用一束光照着诺亚的眼睛，看到了同样的白色倒影。她意识到有些不对劲，马上为诺亚安排了一次全面检查。)”可知，医生听到伊丽莎白的描述后她几乎毫不迟延地给诺亚做了全面检查。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“However, Noah’s condition was treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw couldn’t help but wonder whether there were signs he’d missed.(然而，如果及早发现，诺亚的病情是可以治疗的。布莱恩·肖不禁怀疑自己是否漏掉了什么迹象。)”可知，如果及早发现，诺亚的病情绝不是无法治愈的。故选B项。 27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This disease is tough to detect. Not only can this software save vision, but it can save lives.(这种疾病很难发现。这个软件不仅可以挽救视力，还可以挽救生命。)”可知，布莱恩创造的这款软件是有深远意义的，所以可以用“影响深远的”这个词来描述布莱恩的创造。故选C项。 （五） 【2023-2024学年安徽省合肥市普通高中六校联盟高二下学期期末联考】Zhu Zhiwen, in his 30s,has been on the road, on his most recent bicycle trip since March.

The day trip has been specially designed for young people to help them learn about Macao’s rich history, vibrant (充满活力的) culture and sustainable practices. Jayde e Lai, a Year 11 student at Canossa College, says, “I’d never been to Macao before the tour, so as a newcomer, I felt that the tour did a good job of compacting (压缩) Macao’s 400-year history into a day’s event. I definitely learned a lot of fun facts, history and culture of Macao.” The tour was led by experienced MGTO tour guides, who are knowledgeable about Macao’s history and culture. Students taking part in the tour went to many historic sites that are not often visited, including the Old City Walls, Natacha Temple, the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macao Museum and Mount Fortress. Lai says she was most fascinated to learn about some of Macao’s sustainable practices. “Besides the exhibits in the Macao Tea Culture House, we also learned how tea leaf residues (残渣) are recycled to produce items such as cups and even furniture,” she says. “We were asked to smell these products, and they really do smell like tea!” Choi feels it is great that her students had the opportunity to go on such an interesting tour. “They were talking excitedly about the activities they did and I think it really helped to arouse their curiosity,” she says. “Excursions are truly necessary for students to become well-rounded individuals.” 4．What does the underlined word “excursions” in the first paragraph mean?

If we looked outside right now, he said, we’d see a beautiful sea of icebergs in the golden sunlight. My sister and I jumped out of bed, staring in amazement as we sailed past giant pieces of ice. In the distance, we spotted a group of humpback whales feeding on smaller fishes. Next door, my parents were also waking up to the sights of a new day in Antarctica. Over breakfast, my sister and I excitedly told them about the whales we saw from our room that morning. You might not immediately think of “family vacation” when talking about a trip to Antarctica, but tour companies like Adventures by Disney are changing that. The company offers guided group trips to destinations across all seven continents in the world. Our adventure started when we flew to Buenos Aires and explored the beautiful Argentine capital for a day. After leaving Buenos Aires, we flew to Ushuaia on an Adventures by Disney plane. Then, it was the journey toward the Drake Passage. After a speedy Drake Passage crossing, we reached Antarctica early, adding a half day to our scheduled four days on and around the continent. To those unfamiliar with Adventures by Disney, the fact that you can experience Antarctica — the most distant, extreme continent — with Disney might be surprising. During the trip, there were thoughtful acts, from stamped postcards to send from an Antarctica post office to a champagne (香槟) party on our final stop of the journey; Adventures by Disney truly thought of everything for us. Antarctica is a life-changing destination packed with experiences that can’t be copied. We experienced seasickness when travelling across the Drake Passage, hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals, and had a taste of champagne.

Niu is a fourth-generation acrobat (杂技演员) and grew up in Taiyuan, China. She started learning from her parents at age 7. Niu joined the famed Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe as a teenager. She traveled the world and gained valuable experience performing her routine regularly. She knew that the US was where she needed to be, despite the fact that she then spoke only limited English. So she reached out to a contact who worked for Walt Disney World and asked if she could perform at the World Showcase at Epcot Center. When she was 19, Niu made the move to Orlando, Florida. With Disney’s blessing, she spent her downtime performing in restaurants, schools and various businesses in the area. After about a year and a half, she decided to move to San Francisco, mostly because of the city’s large Chinese population. Without a full-time job for the first time in her life as a performer, Niu began sending out audition tapes to whomever she thought might be interested. She had been pitching her acrobat audition video to NBA teams for a halftime show for nearly two years without hearing a word of interest. She was working relentlessly at the time, feeling like she performed at every school and corporate events possible. Finally, on Thanksgiving Day in 1993, she received a call from the Los Angeles Clippers. Their scheduled halftime act for the game that night had to cancel, and the team was wondering if she could fill in. She jumped at the chance and hopped on the next flight from her home in San Francisco to Los Angeles. While Niu was anxious about her first real opportunity and took the court with butterflies in her stomach, she was stunned to finish her routine to a standing ovation. It didn’t take long for the Los Angeles Clippers to book her again.

(牛少年时就加入了著名的上海杂技团。)”根据文章第二段“So she reached out to a contact who worked for Walt Disney World and asked if she could perform at the World Showcase at Epcot Center. When she was 19, Niu made the move to Orlando, Florida. With Disney’s blessing, she spent her downtime performing in restaurants, schools and various businesses in the area. (于是，她联系了一位在迪士尼乐园工作的联系人，问她能否在艾波科特中心的世界展示会上表演。19岁时，Niu搬到了佛罗里达州的奥兰多。在迪士尼的支持下，她利用空闲时间在该地区的餐馆、学校和各种企业表演。)”文章第三段“Finally, on Thanksgiving Day in 1993, she received a call from the Los Angeles Clippers.

(没过多久，洛杉矶快船队就再次签下了她。)”可知，首先是少年时就加入了著名的上海杂技团；其次是在迪斯尼乐园表演；然后接到了去NBA打球的电话；最后牛被洛杉矶快船队签约演出。故选B。 6．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“After about a year and a half, she decided to move to San Francisco, mostly because of the city’s large Chinese population. (大约一年半后，她决定搬到旧金山，主要是因为这个城市有大量的中国人。)”可以判断出牛蓉搬到旧金山是由于那里华人较多，更懂得欣赏中国杂技表演。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“So she reached out to a contact who worked for Walt Disney World and asked if she could perform at the World Showcase at Epcot Center.

In Hong Kong, Miru Wong Ka-lam is doing her bit to keep the art of Yue embroidery (粤绣) alive. Wong’s hand-embroidered shoe shop, Sindart, is one of a few in the city to have survived the industry. To share her skills, the third-generation owner of the 65-year-old small business holds weekly workshops for those eager to learn the dying art of embroidery. When family members gather for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they exchange gifts. Handmade slippers (拖鞋) used to be a popular item to give to elderly members of the family. Unfortunately, the practice is now less common. “When my grandparents started the shop in the 1950s, there were a lot more orders for handmade slippers. Now, it seems that people are more focused on buying mooncakes,” Wong says. Cheaper, machine-embroidered slippers are another threat (威胁) to the traditional craft’s survival. Wong, however, believes that handmade slippers have better quality compared with machine-made ones. “Machine-made slippers feel different from handmade ones,” she says. “The material is too soft, making the slippers uncomfortable.” One element (元素) that makes Sindart’s slippers unique is the wide range of designs. “My late grandfather, who founded Sindart in 1958 in a tiny shop, created his own embroidery designs in the1950s,” Wong says. Wong has made up her mind to give new life to the art of Yue embroidery by adding modern elements and making footwear that is suitable for everyday use. “This includes applying hand embroidery to not only slippers, which is the tradition, but also to other types of shoes. Now I’m studying shoemaking techniques in a shoe factory so that I can achieve this,” she says. 4．What is Wong’s purpose in holding weekly workshops? A．To enlarge her business. B．To practice her embroidery skills. C．To promote the art of embroidery. D．To increase her influence in the industry. 5．Why have handmade slippers become less popular during the Mid-Autumn Festival? A．People think they’re out of date. B．Old people do not want to wear them. C．They’re not as good as they used to be. D．People prefer to buy mooncakes instead. 6．Why are machine-made slippers considered a threat to handmade slippers? A．They are of higher quality. B．They are more comfortable. C．They are more affordable. D．They are made of softer material. 7．What will Wong do in the future? A．Open more shoe factories. B．Expand her product range. C．Apply hand embroidery to clothes. D．Build partnerships with local shoe factories. 【答案】4．C 5．D 6．C 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在香港，传统手工艺正受到技术和全球化的冲击，但Miru Wong Ka-lam正在努力保持粤绣艺术的活力。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段“To share her skills, the third-generation owner of the 65-year-old small business holds weekly workshops for those eager to learn the dying art of embroidery.(为了分享她的技艺，这家已有65年历史的小企业的第三代老板每周都会为那些渴望学习刺绣这门濒临灭绝的艺术的人举办讲习班)”可知，Wong每周举办工作坊的目的是为了推广刺绣艺术。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段““When my grandparents started the shop in the 1950s, there were a lot more orders for handmade slippers. Now, it seems that people are more focused on buying mooncakes,” Wong says.(Wong说：“我祖父母在20世纪50年代开这家店的时候，手工拖鞋的订单要多得多。现在，人们似乎更关注买月饼。”)”可知，手工拖鞋在中秋节变得不那么受欢迎是因为现在人们更喜欢买月饼作为礼物。故选D。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段“Cheaper, machine-embroidered slippers are another threat (威胁) to the traditional craft’s survival.(更便宜的机绣拖鞋是对传统工艺生存的另一个威胁)”可知，机器制造的拖鞋被认为是手工拖鞋的威胁，因为它们更便宜。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wong has made up her mind to give new life to the art of Yue embroidery by adding modern elements and making footwear that is suitable for everyday use.(Wong决心给粤绣艺术注入新的生命，加入现代元素，制作适合日常使用的鞋子)”可知，Wong决定在粤绣艺术中加入现代元素，制作适合日常使用的鞋子，由此可知，未来她会扩大她的产品范围。故选B。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题02 阅读理解之记叙文 （一） 【2023-2024学年安徽省天一大联考高二下学期7月期末】In February 2021, M. J. “Sunny” Eberhart started to walk. And walk, and walk. Now, the 83-year old nicknamed “Nimblewill Nomad” has become the oldest person to hike the Appalachian Trail. He triumphantly arrived in Dalton, Massachusetts, in November, having successfully traversed(穿越)the famous 2, 193-mile route that stretches from Georgia to Maine. Eberhart broke the record previously held by fellow hiker Dale Sanders, or “Grey Beard”. Sanders, who walked the final stretch with Eberhart, later gave him a hiking stick to mark Eberhart’s record-breaking hike. “My dear friend Nimblewill is taking my record away from me, and I’m happy for him,” Sanders said. “Records are made to be broken.” Eberhart first set out from his home in Flagg Mountain, Alabama, nine months earlier, starting on what he called “Odyssey 2021 Bama to Baxter — Hike On”. “This will be the ultimate journey in this old man’s life, one of body, mind and spirit,” Eberhart explained on his hiking blog. As a serious hiker, Eberhart didn’t merely drive to the Springer Mountain trailhead in northern Georgia. Instead, he walked the 400 miles from Flagg Mountain. Only then did Eberhart take up the Appalachian Trail himself, carrying a six-pound pack with a tent, a sleeping bag, and other equipment. Conscious of his age, Eberhart traversed the trail out of order to take advantage of good weather. He slept in the wild and hiked portions of the trail with others. Every day, he thought about quitting. “I knew what was coming,” Eberhart said, remembering the pain that racked his body during the hike, especially his feet. “And day to day, the challenge.” But he took inspiration from Lance Armstrong, who once said that pain was temporary but defeat was forever. “Eighty percent of it is mental courage,” Eberhart said. “And that is why so many people fail.” 4．How did Sanders react to Eberhart’s breaking the record? A．He was much surprised. B．He felt a little disappointed. C．He was doubtful about it. D．He accepted it naturally. 5．Which is the starting point of Eberhart’s hiking? A．Dalton, Massachusetts. B．The Appalachian Trail. C．Flagg Mountain, Alabama. D．The Springer Mountain, Georgia. 6．What do we know about Eberhart’s hiking? A．He was aided by a hiking stick all the way. B．He was not fully prepared for the bad weather. C．He completed it successfully without others’ company. D．He was well aware of its challenges in the beginning. 7．What is largely to blame for many hikers’ failure according to Eberhart? A．The difficulties during the journey. B．Their lack of courage. C．Their overconfidence. D．The poor planning. （二） 【2023-2024学年安徽省安庆市等三市高二下学期7月期末】As Franklin D．Roosevelt once said, “a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. ”This certainly applies to New York-born competitive sailor Cole Brauer, the first American woman to competitively sail solo (独自) around the world.

Throughout her months at sea, Brauer was not frightened by the wildly unpredictable behaviors of Mother Nature. She worked tirelessly towards achieving her incredible achievement. Along the way, the determined competitor recorded her 130-day journey at sea on Instagram. In addition to documenting her experiences, Brauer also educated her viewers on various sailing terms and the application of different sailing techniques.

This means to lower your sail to accommodate increases in wind, allowing the boat to maintain a manageable speed that allows its captain to have more controlled steering (驾驶) . As a former student of the University of Hawaii, Brauer achieved many academic and athletic achievements. From earning the 2017 Jack Bonham Award for academic and athletic performance to being a part of the Intercollegiate Sailing Association Academic All-American Team twice, she continued to raise the bar. And with this latest challenge, Brauer had opportunities to improve her skills in the unique backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.

While many felt more comfortable giving to the Hawaii Red Cross or grassroots organizations, others wanted to donate directly to the people in need. Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson felt that way too, so they created The People’s Fund of Maui, which aims to support the displaced residents of Lahaina as they try to rebuild their lives. “I have been meeting with people throughout the community that were impacted by the fires over the last few weeks, asking what they most needed and how I could be of service,” Winfrey said in a statement. “The main thing I’ve been hearing is their concern about how to move forward under the enormous financial burden (负担). The community has come together in so many wonderful ways, and my intention is to support those impacted as they determine what rebuilding looks like for them.” Winfrey and Johnson posted a video announcing a donation of $10 million on Instagram, and calling for those who need assistance to apply. The People’s Fund of Maui aims to provide direct relief to individuals in the form of $1,200 monthly payments for as long as possible. The recipients of this fundraiser are individuals who are over the age of 18, reside in Lahaina and Kula, and lost their homes during the fire. “We are beyond grateful to be working alongside community leaders of Maui to launch the People’s Fund of Maui,” Johnson shared in a statement. “These leaders are offering their guidance to ensure our fund can put money directly in the. hands of those individuals most affected.” Johnson, who spent some time in Honolulu as a kid, praised first responders and com munity members who have stepped up to the challenge. “As people around the world watched the great loss caused by the Maui wildfires, they also witnessed the great spirit of our Polynesian culture and the strength of the people of Maui,” said Johnson. 4．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1?

When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd when taking his picture. The flash on their camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash were being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth mentioned it to their doctor, she shined a light into Noah’s eye, and saw the same white reflection. She realized there was something wrong and arranged for a complete examination for Noah right away. As the result showed, a white reflection is a telltale sign of retinal cancer and that was exactly what Noah had. He endured months of painful treatments, but doctors ultimately could not save his eye. However, Noah’s condition was treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw couldn’t help but wonder whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every picture of Noah and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. Bryan, a chemistry professor found by the time Noah was four months old, it appeared in approximately 25 percent of the pictures taken of him. It was too late for Noah’s eye, but Bryan was bent on putting his hard-won insights to good use. He created a database that charted the cancer’s appearance in every photo. He also collected photos and data from eight other children with the same condition. Armed with the data, he began to work with colleagues to develop an app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (检眼镜): White Eye Detector, and it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple’s App Store. “I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this.” Bryan told the interviewer. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only can this software save vision, but it can save lives.” 24．What did Elizabeth find when taking pictures of Noah? A．A white spot appeared in Noah’s right eye. B．Noah’s left eye was unusually red. C．Her son developed retinal cancer. D．Her camera failed to function. 25．How did the doctor react after hearing Elizabeth’s description? A．She claimed everything was fine with Noah’s eye. B．She realized she could do nothing to save Noah’s eye. C．She ignored her doubt based on previous experience. D．She had Noah thoroughly examined almost without delay. 26．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A．The first picture of Noah was taken 12 days after his birth. B．Noah’s condition was by no means incurable with early detection. C．The white spot appeared in a quarter of the pictures taken of Noah. D．Bryan looked through the photos to find a cure for Noah’s disease. 27．Which of the following best describes Bryan’s creation? A．Easily-earned. B．Well-received. C．Far-reaching.

The day trip has been specially designed for young people to help them learn about Macao’s rich history, vibrant (充满活力的) culture and sustainable practices. Jayde e Lai, a Year 11 student at Canossa College, says, “I’d never been to Macao before the tour, so as a newcomer, I felt that the tour did a good job of compacting (压缩) Macao’s 400-year history into a day’s event. I definitely learned a lot of fun facts, history and culture of Macao.” The tour was led by experienced MGTO tour guides, who are knowledgeable about Macao’s history and culture. Students taking part in the tour went to many historic sites that are not often visited, including the Old City Walls, Natacha Temple, the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macao Museum and Mount Fortress. Lai says she was most fascinated to learn about some of Macao’s sustainable practices. “Besides the exhibits in the Macao Tea Culture House, we also learned how tea leaf residues (残渣) are recycled to produce items such as cups and even furniture,” she says. “We were asked to smell these products, and they really do smell like tea!” Choi feels it is great that her students had the opportunity to go on such an interesting tour. “They were talking excitedly about the activities they did and I think it really helped to arouse their curiosity,” she says. “Excursions are truly necessary for students to become well-rounded individuals.” 4．What does the underlined word “excursions” in the first paragraph mean?

In Hong Kong, Miru Wong Ka-lam is doing her bit to keep the art of Yue embroidery (粤绣) alive. Wong’s hand-embroidered shoe shop, Sindart, is one of a few in the city to have survived the industry. To share her skills, the third-generation owner of the 65-year-old small business holds weekly workshops for those eager to learn the dying art of embroidery. When family members gather for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they exchange gifts. Handmade slippers (拖鞋) used to be a popular item to give to elderly members of the family. Unfortunately, the practice is now less common. “When my grandparents started the shop in the 1950s, there were a lot more orders for handmade slippers. Now, it seems that people are more focused on buying mooncakes,” Wong says. Cheaper, machine-embroidered slippers are another threat (威胁) to the traditional craft’s survival. Wong, however, believes that handmade slippers have better quality compared with machine-made ones. “Machine-made slippers feel different from handmade ones,” she says. “The material is too soft, making the slippers uncomfortable.” One element (元素) that makes Sindart’s slippers unique is the wide range of designs. “My late grandfather, who founded Sindart in 1958 in a tiny shop, created his own embroidery designs in the1950s,” Wong says. Wong has made up her mind to give new life to the art of Yue embroidery by adding modern elements and making footwear that is suitable for everyday use. “This includes applying hand embroidery to not only slippers, which is the tradition, but also to other types of shoes. Now I’m studying shoemaking techniques in a shoe factory so that I can achieve this,” she says. 4．What is Wong’s purpose in holding weekly workshops? A．To enlarge her business. B．To practice her embroidery skills. C．To promote the art of embroidery. D．To increase her influence in the industry. 5．Why have handmade slippers become less popular during the Mid-Autumn Festival?
