专题02 阅读理解之记叙文+新闻报道 （一） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州九县市高二下学期期末】“Hey, lady! You can move your ugly car up now!” The silver-haired driver behind me in a fancy truck rudely yelled at me. Without much thought, I yelled back at the man, “What? Are you in a rush or something? ” I was waiting in line at the drive-through to order our breakfast on a Sunday morning. There were only 12 inches or so between me and the car in front of me. There were also three additional cars in front of that one. We were getting nowhere fast. What was he hoping to gain by yelling at me? I wanted to let my own anger go after this ridiculous exchange. But the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was angry that he yelled at a mother in front of two kids. My daughter and my son were both confused and saddened by what they had just witnessed. We were on our way to a soccer tournament, and we had a bonus day free from school and work. Probably, there was nothing in the world to be upset about. Then this man let his anger out. I told my kids I was so mad that I had to roll my window up so that I wouldn’t keep yelling at this guy. Then, I stopped and looked back. I had moved up the 12 or so inches at his “suggestion”, while he hadn’t moved an inch. Suddenly, I felt sympathy for him. He must have been suffering in some way. As my kids and I slowly made our way to the pick-up window to pay for our order, I had an idea. “I heard how rude that man was to you, and I wanted to apologize to you for having to put up with that. He isn’t worth paying for,” the cashier said to me. “My kids support me in doing that,” I answered the cashier, adding that hate cannot drive out hate. 4．Why was the driver angry with the author? A．Her car cut in. B．She held up his truck. C．Her car stopped suddenly. D．She screamed at him. 5．What does the author mainly tell us in paragraph 3? A．Why her anger kept growing. B．What her kids’ reaction was. C．How she calmed herself down D．Why she ordered the breakfast. 6．What was the author’s final decision? A．She taught her kids a lesson. B．She apologized to the driver. C．She paid for the driver’s food. D．She gave the cashier some advice 7．What does the author intend to convey in the text? A．Respond to hate with kindness B．Deal with a man as he deals with you. C．Put distance between your car and another. D．Never go to the drive-through at rush hours 【答案】4．B 5．A 6．C 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在驾车排队等待时，遭到后方司机的无理指责，作者虽然一度愤怒，但最后选择了以善意回应恶意的故事。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Hey, lady! You can move your ugly car up now!(‘嘿，女士！你现在可以把你的丑车往前挪挪了！’)”和第二段“There were only 12 inches or so between me and the car in front of me. There were also three additional cars in front of that one. We were getting nowhere fast. What was he hoping to gain by yelling at me? (我的车前面大概只有12英寸左右的空间，那辆车前面还有三辆其他的车。我们几乎一动不动。他冲我大吼大叫，到底希望得到什么好处？)”可知，司机对作者生气是因为她阻碍了他的车子，尽管实际上前面的车都几乎没动，而作者与前车的距离只有12英寸左右，并没有造成阻碍。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“I wanted to let my own anger go after this ridiculous exchange. But the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was angry that he yelled at a mother in front of two kids. My daughter and my son were both confused and saddened by what they had just witnessed. We were on our way to a soccer tournament, and we had a bonus day free from school and work. Probably, there was nothing in the world to be upset about. Then this man let his anger out.(在这次荒谬的交流之后，我想放下自己的愤怒。但我越是想这件事，就越是愤怒。我生气的是，他竟然在两个孩子面前对一个母亲大吼大叫。我的女儿和儿子都对他们刚刚目睹的一切感到困惑和难过。我们正要去一个足球比赛，我们有一个额外的休息日，不用上学也不用工作。可能，世界上没有什么值得烦恼的。然后这个男人发泄了他的愤怒。)”可知，作者原本想要放下自己的愤怒，但经过反复思考后，愤怒反而加剧了。作者特别强调了这位男子在孩子们面前的行为对孩子们造成的负面影响，以及他们原本应该是一个开心的日子却因为这位男子的愤怒行为而被破坏。由此可知，第三段主要讲述了为什么作者越来越生气。故选A。 6．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“As my kids and I slowly made our way to the pick-up window to pay for our order, I had an idea.(当我和孩子们慢慢走向取货窗口为我们的订单付款时，我有了一个主意。)”和文章最后一段“I heard how rude that man was to you, and I wanted to apologize to you for having to put up with that. He isn’t worth paying for,” the cashier said to me. (‘我听说那个人对你有多粗鲁，我想向你道歉，因为我不得不忍受他。他不值得为他付钱，’收银员对我说。)”可知，作者最后决定为那位粗鲁的司机支付早餐费，这是她对事件的最终回应。故选C。 7．推理判断题。通过最后一段中““My kids support me in doing that,” I answered the cashier, adding that hate cannot drive out hate.(‘我的孩子们支持我这样做，’我回答收银员，并补充说，仇恨不能驱除仇恨。)”，再结合文章内容可知，尽管那位司机对作者粗鲁，但是作者最终决定为他支付餐费；因此，作者想要传达的是以善意回应恶意。故选A项。 （二） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州市联盟校高二下学期期末】 Two teenagers are being hailed as heroes for saving a man from an oncoming train just seconds before it arrived. Freddie Corbett, 15, and Harley Hollingworth, 16, acted swiftly when they saw a distressed man jump onto the tracks at Bolton train station in South Yorkshire over the weekend. The friends, waiting for the last train home on Saturday night as their 11 p. m. curfew (宵禁) approached, noticed the man and heard him express his intention to end his life. “Freddie shouted out loud to stop the man from doing such silly things. Without hesitation, he jumped onto the tracks despite the oncoming train,” Freddie’s mother, Jill Corbett, told Sky News. Harley, who also leapt onto the tracks to help, said, “I wasn’t worried about the train. I just wanted to make sure Freddie got him off the tracks. We could see the train’s headlights approaching. It’s not a very long bend.” “The train arrived about 45 seconds after we got off,” the man kept saying. “You’re good lads. You could tell the man was struggling.” While awaiting help, Freddie and Harley had a heartfelt conversation with the man, learning about his troubles. Gary Robinson of Network Rail praised the teenagers for their lifesaving actions. In a social media post, Gary wrote. “Tonight a male with intent to self-harm on the railway. . . these two lads were his angels. They dragged him off the railway and talked with him until I arrived. They undoubtedly saved his life! Kids often get a bad press, but with humanity like what these lads showed tonight, we are in safe hands! These two lads are a credit to their parents, and I can’t speak highly enough about them.” Freddie’s father, Billy, from Goldthorpe, expressed his pride, saying both parents felt it was “about time we had some good news and good press about our kids.” Harley’s father, Dale, added, I was buzzing. I'm bursting with pride. He’s just a typical grumpy teenager, but clearly, he has a heart of gold.” 24．What does the underlined word “hailed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Described. B．Termed. C．Cheated.

I’m bursting with pride. He’s just a typical grumpy teenager, but clearly, he has a heart of gold.”(弗雷迪的父亲比利(Billy)来自戈德索普(Goldthorpe)，他表达了自己的骄傲，说父母双方都觉得“是时候听到一些关于我们孩子的好消息和正面报道了。”哈利的父亲戴尔(Dale)补充说：“我当时很兴奋。我感到无比自豪。他只是一个典型的脾气暴躁的少年，但显然，他有一颗金子般的心。”)”可知，他们对于孩子的行为感到非常自豪。故选D项。 27．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Two teenagers are being hailed as heroes for saving a man from an oncoming train just seconds before it arrived. Freddie Corbett, 15, and Harley Hollingworth, 16, acted swiftly when they saw a distressed man jump onto the tracks at Bolton train station in South Yorkshire over the weekend.(两名青少年被誉为英雄，因为他们在即将到来的火车上救了一名男子。周末，15岁的弗雷迪·科贝特和16岁的哈利·霍林沃思在南约克郡博尔顿火车站看到一名痛苦的男子跳上铁轨后，迅速采取了行动)”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述的是两位少年在火车站救下一位卧轨男士的事迹。因此，选项B“Teenage Heroes(少年英雄)”最适合作本文的标题。故选B项。 （三） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州市六校高二下学期期末】 Of the tens of thousands of ships on the ocean bottom, only a handful, less than I percent, contain negotiable treasure, such as gold and jewels. Most give us a different priceless treasure — history. A sunken ship lies in trust, preserved in the airless environment of the sea and those in deep water are especially well protected. A sunken ship, therefore, can be a rare window through which a moment in time is glimpsed. The wreck of HMS Endurance, which has finally been located deep beneath the icy seas of Antarctica after being lost 110 years ago, was arguably the most valuable shipwreck ever sought. That’s because its discovery adds another thrilling new chapter to an already fascinating tale of perseverance and survival that has echoed down the decades and still inspires today. Incredibly well preserved at a depth of almost two miles, the ship is little changed from the day in November 1914 when it finally sank beneath the ice. Endurance became embedded in ice while crossing Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. The video shot by underwater search vehicles shows painted timbers, an undamaged guardrail (护栏), with the name “Endurance” written above the five-pointed symbol of a polar star. “I tell you, you would have to be made of stone not to feel a bit soft at the sight of that star and the name above,” Mensun Bound, the mission’s marine archaeologist, told the: BBC． “You can see a porthole (舷窗) that is in Shackleton’s cabin. At that moment, you really do feel the breath of the great man upon the back of your neck.” Shackleton’s leadership was crucial to getting his men out alive. The reason why Shackleton is still applauded as a great man becomes obvious when you consider what he achieved in the face of disasters and hardships during his 1914-16 expedition. The practicality and humanity he showed in the face of severe situations was arguably praised. 4．What makes Endurance the most valuable shipwreck? A．The treasure aboard. B．Its undamaged guardrail. C．Its inspiring stories. D．The symbol of a polar star. 5．What can we know about Endurance when it is discovered? A．It is badly damaged at a depth of almost two miles. B．It becomes fixed firmly and deeply beneath the icy seas C．It is beyond recognition from the day when it finally sank D．Its name above the five-pointed symbol of a polar star is gone. 6．What can we infer from Mensun Bound’s words? A．The floating ice is as hard as stones. B．The well-preserved shipwreck is amazing. C．The discovery of Endurance is challenging. D．The heroic deeds of Shackleton are touching. 7．What is the text type of the passage? A．A news report. B．A film review C．A diary. D．A travel journal. 【答案】4．C 5．B 6．D 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了有史以来最有价值的沉船Endurance的残骸的故事。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段“That’s because its discovery adds another thrilling new chapter to an already fascinating tale of perseverance and survival that has echoed down the decades and still inspires today.(这是因为它的发现为一个已经引人入胜的关于坚持不懈和生存的故事增添了另一个激动人心的新篇章，这个故事几十年来一直在回响，至今仍在激励着人们)”可知，Endurance沉船被认为是最有价值的沉船在于其讲述的激励人的故事。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段“The wreck of HMS Endurance, which has finally been located deep beneath the icy seas of Antarctica after being lost 110 years ago, was arguably the most valuable shipwreck ever sought. (在失踪110年后，英国皇家海军“耐力”号的残骸终于被发现在南极洲冰冷的海底深处。可以说是有史以来最有价值的沉船)”可知，当Endurance被发现时它被牢牢地固定在冰冷的海底。故选B。 6．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Shackleton’s leadership was crucial to getting his men out alive. The reason why Shackleton is still applauded as a great man becomes obvious when you consider what he achieved in the face of disasters and hardships during his 1914-16 expedition. The practicality and humanity he showed in the face of severe situations was arguably praised.(沙克尔顿的领导能力对于让他的人活着出来至关重要。当你考虑到沙克尔顿在1914年至1916年的探险中面对灾难和困难所取得的成就时，你就会明白为什么他仍然被誉为伟人。他在面对严峻形势时表现出的务实和人道主义精神无疑受到了赞扬)”可推知，沙克尔顿的英雄事迹令人感动。故选D。 7．推理判断题。根据第二段“The wreck of HMS Endurance, which has finally been located deep beneath the icy seas of Antarctica after being lost 110 years ago, was arguably the most valuable shipwreck ever sought.(英国皇家海军“耐力”号的残骸在失踪110年后终于被发现在南极洲冰冷的海底深处，可以说是有史以来寻找的最有价值的沉船)”引出了文章讲述的话题：HMS Endurance的残骸是有史以来最有价值的沉船。接着在下文讲述了沉船的经过及船长沙克尔顿的英勇精神。所以本文属于新闻报道。故选A。 （四） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州市闽侯县闽江口协作校高二下学期期末】 I’ve been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years. As a boy growing up, I probably read hundreds of books. I read mysteries, science fiction, thrillers, and just about any other type of book I could find. I had a thirst for knowledge that never seemed to disappear, no matter how many books I read over the years. Then suddenly, I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share. I wanted to share things that were full of goodness, love, joy, and happiness. I tried to ignore my desire at first, but as any writer will tell you, once ideas awaken inside of you, they don’t leave you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, or even a typewriter, but I grabbed a pen and a notebook and wrote down everything that was burning inside of me. When I was finally done, I didn’t know how to share my work with the world. There was no Internet back then, no smartphones, and no social media. However, I sought out the editor of my local newspaper and asked if he would like to print what I’d written. He was a good man, full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. After that, of course, nothing could stop me. I continued to write new articles each week, which were published in different local papers and later on the Internet. Years later I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form. Through my writing, I slowly became a better person. Writing allowed me to discover the goodness and light that exist in us all. I also found that we are all writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we think, and with every action we take, we are writing our own life story. 4．What made the author read plenty of books? A．His thirst for knowledge. B．His father’s suggestion. C．His intention to be a writer. D．His demand to become excellent. 5．Why did the author start writing? A．An editor advised him to do so. B．He wanted to express his own ideas. C．He decided to make money. D．He tried to be a celebrity. 6．How did the author share his own works according to the text? A．By printing them himself. B．By his friends’ recommendation. C．By advertising them just on the street. D．By publishing his works online, in local papers and in book form. 7．What can we learn from the text? A．Writing improved the author a lot. B．The author encouraged others to write. C．Writing is as important as reading. D．It’s a good choice to write books. 【答案】4．A 5．B 6．D 7．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者从18岁开始写作的经历，以及他如何通过写作发现人性中的善良和光明，并认为每个人都在书写自己生活的故事。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段“I had a thirst for knowledge that never seemed to disappear, no matter how many books I read over the years. (我对知识的渴望似乎永远也不会消失，不管我读了多少年的书。)”可知，作者之所以阅读了大量的书籍，是因为他有着强烈的求知欲。故选A项。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段“Then suddenly, I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share. I wanted to share things that were full of goodness, love, joy, and happiness (突然之间，我发现我也有自己的想法，我想要写下来并分享出去。我想要分享那些充满善良、爱、快乐和幸福的事物。)”可知，作者开始写作是因为他想要表达自己的想法，故选B项。 6．细节理解题。根据第四段“After that, of course, nothing could stop me. I continued to write new articles each week, which were published in different local papers and later on the Internet. Years later I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form. (自那以后，当然，没有什么能阻止我。我继续每周写新的文章，这些文章被发表在不同的当地报纸上，后来又在互联网上发表。多年后，我甚至自行出版了两本故事集。)”可知，作者通过在本地报纸上发表作品以及后来通过互联网和书籍形式自出版来分享他的作品。故选D项。 7．细节理解题。根据第五段“Through my writing, I slowly became a better person. (通过我的写作，我慢慢地变成了一个更好的人。)”以及全文可知，写作让作者变得更好，故选A项。 （五） 【2023-2024学年福建省莆田市高二下学期7月期末】Fifteen-year-old Sansa has been writing for eight years and has been working on a book for the past four years. Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired. Keren Taylor started WriteGirl in 2001 as a way to help teen girls who did not have access to creative writing programs. “Teen girls are incredibly vulnerable (脆弱的) and invisible.” Taylor said. “They really need to be lifted up and inspired.” At WriteGirl, 400 women writers volunteer to mentor (指导) 700 teenagers a year. Every girl who has gone through the mentorship program has gone to college and several have pursued careers as professional writers. Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations. A typical exercise at WriteGirl is mic and rant, a 30-second session before writing for each girl. As a means for teens to get their ideas out, it enables girls to explore anything meaningful to them. “Not the flowery language, or rather, complicated expressions that sound skillful, but more of the natural, this is what I’m thinking and what I’m feeling.” Taylor said. Sansa’s mentor Danyella Wilder is attracted by the long-term nature of mentoring at WriteGirl. “If only I could join in such a program when I was 15! An organization where people spend their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job.’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.” 4．Why did Sansa join WriteGirl? A．To overcome her writing block. B．To train a professional writer. C．To release her negative emotions. D．To acquire a sense of security. 5．What makes WriteGirl different from other organizations? A．It turns teen girls into mentors. B．It ensures girls’ entry to college. C．It aims to produce skilled writers. D．It exposes girls to varied writing styles. 6．What do the underlined words “mic and rant” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．A daily writing task. B．A recitation of poetry. C．A session for idea creation. D．A skillful expression activity. 7．What does Danyella Wilder imply in the last paragraph? A．Mentorship is an amazing pursuit. B．Positive feedback is vital to teen girls. C．Mentoring is a time-consuming process. D．Criticism at a young age can be harmful. 【答案】4．A 5．D 6．C 7．B 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。凯伦·泰勒于2001年创办了“作家女孩”，目的是帮助那些没有机会参加创意写作课程的少女，许多女孩从中获益良多，文章对此进行了详细报道。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance.(她觉得自己被困住了，无法写作，于是开始在洛杉矶寻找写作小组，寻求指导。)”可知，珊莎加入“作家女孩”是为了克服写作障碍。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations.(通过这个项目，女孩们深入到诗歌、小说、歌曲创作、戏剧等领域，向职业女作家学习技巧。这导致了全面的培训，并将“作家女孩”与其他组织区分开来)”可知，“作家女孩”与其他组织的不同之处是它让女孩们接触到不同的写作风格。故选D。 6．词句猜测题。根据第四段第二句“As a means for teens to get their ideas out, it enables girls to explore anything meaningful to them.(作为青少年表达想法的一种方式，它使女孩们能够探索任何对她们有意义的事情)”可知，mic and rant是指创意创造环节。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“An organization where people spend their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job.’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.(在这样一个组织里，人们花时间只是为了告诉你，‘嘿，干得好。或“太棒了。”你已经到了需要听到这句话的年纪了)”可知，Danyella Wilder在最后一段暗示了积极的反馈对十几岁的女孩来说至关重要。故选B。 （六） 【2023-2024学年福建省泉州晋江市五校高二下学期期末】The “Got Talent” crew is one of the pioneers in finding and publicizing music talent and has been giving the world some of its most favorite artists for almost two decades. In 2023, “Britain’s Got Talent” (BGT) uncovered a musical genius named Malakai Bayoh who impressed the audience with perfect high-note singing. The London-based 13-year-old boy appeared for the show’s audition (海选) in April, 2023 and was accompanied by his mom and sister. “My big dream is to be an opera singer. I started singing at 7,” said Malakai to the BGT team. He then added jokingly, “My mom made me join the choir because she’s very bossy.” The teenager mentioned she was his biggest fan. Malakai’s mom was worried as he was about to perform and said, “It scares me because, on his first show, somebody heckled (对……起哄) him. It was sad to see someone boo a child on stage because it might destroy his confidence completely.” Contrary to his mom’s fear, Malakai set the stage on fire singing a beautiful song and the entire crowd was impressed by his amazing voice. As he ended his song, the audience and the judges gave him a big round of applause. The performance won him Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer, sending him straight to the semi-finals of the show. The other judges called Malakai’s performance “perfect” and “heavenly”. His angelic voice blew the audience away and the judges thanked the teen for coming to the show. Malakai went on to become one of the finalists of the show and signed a record deal with Universal Music. Malakai’ s audition at the BGT went viral on social media, “I’m a trained singer, and a music teacher by profession, and sang this song as a young performer myself. I can say with absolute certainty this is the best I’ve ever heard this song sung, with proper technique and proper breathing.

Bodies and binoculars twist for a look. Camera shutters (快门) click violently, and then only birdsong fills the air again. I’m at the boardwalk of Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, for the annual 10-day Biggest Week in American Birding Festival, created in 2010 by the conservation organization, Black Swamp Bird Observatory. Migrating songbirds, especially warblers, stop here every May, one of the major flyways for bird migration. As the largest birding festival in the U.S., it attracts upward of 90,000 people, bringing in around $40 million to the local economy. Birding enthusiasm is hard to contain. “I pretty much spent whatever I had coming in, and it went out just that fast. Plus five credit cards,” said Greg Miller, a Biggest Week guide and birder. Miller is famous in the avian (鸟类的) world: He inspired the character Brad Harris, played by Jack Black, in the movie The Big Year, in which Jack crosses the country to compete for the Big Year record—a type of treasure hunt to see the most bird species in a year. A similar energy spreads through the gathering today. When a rare bird shows up at Magee Marsh, people will leave wherever they’re at and run to see whatever has shown up. After an exciting morning, I head to Blackberry Comers Tavern, a well-known stop for many Biggest Week attendees. The restaurant is packed with faces I saw earlier on the boardwalk. Birders from across the world are sharing stories and dessert—a mixed crowd on their own migration, following the birds. 4．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1? A．Introduce a particular bird. B．Explain the rules of birding. C．Unfold a picture of birding. D．Present ways of watching birds. 5．Why is Magee Marsh chosen for the Biggest Week? A．It is popular among birders. B．It advocates bird conservation. C．It matters to the local economy. D．It is a main stopover for migrating birds. 6．What do we know about Greg Miller in paragraph 3? A．He is a former Big Year record winner. B．He hunts for treasure across the country. C．He is willing to invest heavily in birding. D．He motivates Jack to become an actor. 7．What is the text?

Bodies and binoculars twist for a look. Camera shutters (快门) click violently, and then only birdsong fills the air again.”（ OAK HARBOR, OHIO——“在那里!”一个高大的年轻人指着人群上方。“一朵木兰在树枝间移动。” 雄性木兰莺是一种引人注目的鸟类，有着煤黑色的面具和亮黄色的腹部，以它们被发现的树木命名。身体和双筒望远镜扭动着看。相机的快门猛烈地咔嚓一声，然后空气中又充满了鸟鸣。）可知，第一段作者展现了一幅观鸟的画面。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Migrating songbirds, especially warblers, stop here every May, one of the major flyways for bird migration.”（每年五月，尤其是林莺等候鸟，都会在这里停留，这是鸟类迁徙的主要通道之一。）可知，Magee Marsh被选为最大周的地点是因为它是候鸟迁徙的主要停留地。故选D。 6．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I pretty much spent whatever I had coming in, and it went out just that fast. Plus five credit cards,” said Greg Miller, a Biggest Week guide and birder.”（“我几乎花掉了我所有的收入，而且钱出去的速度非常快。另外还有五张信用卡，”最大周的导游和观鸟者格雷格·米勒说。）可知，Greg Miller愿意在观鸟上投入大量的资金。故选C。 7．推理判断题。短文主要讲述了美国最大的观鸟节——美国观鸟最大周的情况，包括观鸟者的热情，观鸟地点的选择，以及观鸟对当地经济的影响等。所以短文是新闻特写。故选D。 （八） 【2023-2024学年福建省漳州市高二下学期7月期末】My family moved to Melbourne where my father re-entered academia and my mother reshaped my life with devotion and patience. Abandoning dreams of a career may have been in keeping with her era, but my mother threw herself into motherhood. My tennis shoes always shone thanks to her care when I slept. At lunch, my friends crowded around my lunch, the tastiest with enough to spare. My brother and I left home around age 16 for a better education. Our big house fell empty. There was no help and even no phone connection. Her “coping strategy” was to remind herself that she wanted us to have what she did not. Back then I was occupied with my own needs; today, I realise my mother paid for my education with her tears. If her self-sacrifice lifted me to greater heights, her second quality built the foundation. When I was young, my mother displayed in me an absolute faith and absolute love. In her eyes, I could do no wrong that I couldn’t fix. She didn’t say overly sweet things to declare her love, but just being with her made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. My mother allowed me to live a fuller life than hers without bargain, or guilt. To this she added extraordinary generosity. Today I credit my strength and stability to the certainty that, regardless of who else judges me, my mother will not. Currently I have my own kids. They are children of a different time. Today’s mothers have competing demands related to professional and personal goals. Sometimes, I must put my work above their needs. My mom tried to be my “everything” parent while I am what is called the good-enough mother at my best. We may differ in our methods and tools, but the essence of motherhood remains constant. 4．How does the author show her mom’s quality in the first paragraph? A．By quoting a remark. B．By giving examples. C．By making a comparison. D．By analyzing the cause. 5．Which words can best describe the author’s mother? A．Optimistic and persevering. B．Hardworking and demanding. C．Devoted and selfless. D．Cheerful and reliable. 6．What does the underlined phrase “good-enough mother” probably refer to in the last paragraph? A．A mother who pursues perfection in childcare. B．A mother who devotes herself wholly to her work. C．A mother who places her kids’ needs above all else. D．A mother who tries to balance her parenting with her career. 7．What can be the most suitable title for the text? A．The Art of Being a Mother B．Lessons of Love and Strength C．Motherhood: The Greatest Adventure D．Motherhood: A Journey of Sacrifice and Strength 【答案】4．B 5．C 6．D 7．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的母亲全心投入到家庭生活中，为作者提供了无微不至的照顾和支持。作者离开家接受更好的教育后，母亲独自面对空荡的家，但仍坚持自己的信念，希望孩子们能拥有她未曾拥有的机会。母亲对作者的绝对信任和爱，以及她的慷慨和坚强，让作者也变得坚强和坚定。如今，作者自己也成为母亲，尽管时代不同，但她也尽力做到最好，为孩子提供必要的关爱和支持。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段中“My tennis shoes always shone thanks to her care when I slept. At lunch, my friends crowded around my lunch, the tastiest with enough to spare. (由于她在我睡觉时的护理，我的网球鞋总是闪闪发光。午餐时，我的朋友们围在我的午餐周围，这是最美味的，而且有足够的余量)”可知，作者通过举出网球鞋和午餐两个事例来表明她的母亲的品质。故选B项。 5．推理判断题。根据第一段中“My family moved to Melbourne where my father re-entered academia and my mother reshaped my life with devotion and patience. Abandoning dreams of a career may have been in keeping with her era, but my mother threw herself into motherhood. (我的家人搬到了墨尔本，在那里我的父亲重新进入学术界，我的母亲用奉献和耐心重塑了我的生活。放弃职业梦想可能符合她的时代，但我母亲全身心地投入到做母亲的生活中)”和第三段中“When I was young, my mother displayed in me an absolute faith and absolute love. In her eyes, I could do no wrong that I couldn’t fix. She didn’t say overly sweet things to declare her love, but just being with her made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. My mother allowed me to live a fuller life than hers without bargain, or guilt. (当我还小的时候，我的母亲对我表现出了绝对的信任和绝对的爱。在她眼里，我做什么错事都可以弥补。她没有说太多甜蜜的话来表达她的爱，但和她在一起让我觉得我是世界上最重要的人。母亲让我过着比她更充实的生活，没有讨价还价，也没有内疚)”可知，作者的母亲全身心地做好母亲的工作，用奉献和耐心培养作者，对作者充满信任和爱，让作者可以过更充实的生活。因此，作者的母亲具有奉献精神，是无私的。故选C项。 6．词句猜测题。根据划线部分的上文“Today’s mothers have competing demands related to professional and personal goals. Sometimes, I must put my work above their needs. (如今的母亲们在职业目标和个人目标方面有着相互竞争的需求。有时候，我必须把我的工作置于他们的需要之上)”可知，作者作为母亲面临着平衡职业目标和个人目标的难题，需要处理工作和孩子的需求的主次关系，再结合下文“We may differ in our methods and tools, but the essence of motherhood remains constant. (我们可能在方法和工具上有所不同，但母性的本质是不变的)”可知，作者认为自己和自己的母亲有所不同，但同样体现了母性；由此推知，划线部分指的是“一个试图在养育孩子和事业之间找到平衡的母亲”。故选D项。 7．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中“If her self-sacrifice lifted me to greater heights, her second quality built the foundation. (如果说她的自我牺牲使我达到了更高的高度，那么她的第二个品质则奠定了基础)”和“Today I credit my strength and stability to the certainty that, regardless of who else judges me, my mother will not. (今天，我把我的坚强和坚定归功于我的确信，不管别人对我评头评足，我的母亲都不会)”可知，文章主要围绕作者的母亲展开，讲述了她全心投入到家庭生活中，为作者提供了无微不至的照顾和支持。作者离开家接受更好的教育后，她独自面对空荡的家，但仍坚持自己的信念，希望孩子们能拥有她未曾拥有的机会。母亲对作者的绝对信任和爱，以及她的慷慨和坚强，让作者也变得坚强和坚定。因此，D项“母亲：牺牲和力量的旅程”概括了作者母亲身上的特质，最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 （九） 【2023-2024学年福建省泉州市丰泽区安溪一中，惠安一中，养正中学，泉州实验中高二下学期7月期末】As a mushroom scientist, you are vastly outnumbered, with estimates suggesting that there are between 2.2 million and 3.8 million species of fungi (真菌), the majority of which are yet to be identified. However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries. One such amateur is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast and professional photographer. In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature. His passion for photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots. In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. Upon deeper investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is a rare find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye. A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart. 4．What can we learn about mushroom amateurs from paragraph 1? A．They keep close track of the growth of fungi. B．They help identify new species of mushroom. C．They replace professional scientists in the field. D．They classify the majority of mushroom species. 5．What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms? A．His desire for knowledge. B．His curiosity about nature. C．The beauty of nearby mushrooms. D．The appeal of outdoor photography. 6．Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3? A．Skilled and observant. B．Focused and flexible. C．Talented and optimistic. D．Organized and responsible. 7．Why did Lockwood decide to make time-lapse videos of mushrooms? A．To improve his photography techniques. B．To capture dynamic life in an artistic way. C．To collect biological data for deeper research. D．To use a new approach to scientific studies. 【答案】4．B 5．C 6．A 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Taylor Lockwood，一名蘑菇爱好者和摄影师，在真菌学领域做出了重大贡献。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries.(然而，在发现新物种的努力中，该领域的专业人士并不孤单。一个热情的业余爱好者社区已经出现，弥合了专业人士和非专业人士之间的差距。这些业余爱好者甚至有了重大发现。)”可知，蘑菇爱好者们在探索新真菌品种方面有重大发现，故选B项。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” (1984年，泰勒·洛克伍德(Taylor Lockwood)住在加利福尼亚州的门多西诺海岸，对蘑菇产生了浓厚的兴趣。“我的小屋外面有这些神奇的蘑菇，”他说。“就好像这些蘑菇看着我说，‘泰勒，出去告诉世界我们有多漂亮。’”)”可知，小屋附近蘑菇的美让Taylor决定用相机去拍摄它们，故选C项。 6．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. (在莫农加希拉国家森林，泰勒·洛克伍德(Taylor Lockwood)发现了一种不寻常的蘑菇，看起来像戴着灰白色手套的小手指。)”可知，Taylor在森林里发现了稀有的蘑菇品种，再结合第三段中“They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye. (“它们不会每年在同一时间出现，所以有时真菌结出果实之间可能需要几十年的时间。”罗斯曼说，这就是为什么像泰勒·洛克伍德这样的人用训练有素的眼睛在森林中搜索如此有价值的原因。)”可推知，Taylor是一个有经验且善于观察的人，故选A项。 7．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart. (“当我进行延时摄影时，我看到蘑菇周围发生了很多生命——昆虫、蠕虫和其他小生物与它们互动，”他说。洛克伍德对艺术的热爱体现在他随着时间的推移拍摄蘑菇的方法上。尽管他欣赏自己作品的科学方面，但他将自己视为内心的艺术家。)”可推知，Taylor决定拍摄蘑菇的延时视频是为了以艺术的方式捕捉动态生活，故选B项。 （十） 【2023-2024学年福建省泉州市四校高二下学期7月期末】 A new coffee shop in New York lets its customers help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in every cup! This is the first coffee shop by Cafe Joyeux, which is based in Europe. They hi re individuals with IDD, providing valuable training and employment opportunities and empowering them along the way. Café Joyeux was founded in France in response to the alarming fact that over 8 million people with IDD face an 80% unemployment rate. The coffee shop aims to fight against this inequality by not only providing inclusive employment but also leading the way in promoting workplace inclusion more broadly. The story started on a sailing boat in Brittany, France, where Captain Yann Bucaille-Lanzerac, a successful businessman, shared his passion for sailing with passengers of all abilities. During a trip, Theo, a young man with IDD, asked Yann for a job. Yann hesitated, saying it was complicated, leaving Theo silent. This encounter led to the creation of Café Joyeux, employing and training people with mental and cognitive (认知的) disabilities, which has since expanded to over 19 locations across Europe. In early 2024, the first American Cafe Joyeux opened in New York City. Bucaille-Lannezac and his wife, Lydwine Bucaille, founders of Café Joyeux, employed 169 team members with disabilities. They believed their employees could provide excellent products and services, and stressed the significance of equal rights and fair treatment in the workplace. They started by empowering their employees and reinvesting 100% of their profits to further this mission, both within and outside their cafés. Early supporters, like Giovana Mullins, have praised the coffee shop Café Joyeux for its welcoming atmosphere. “As a customer walking in, even if you don’t know what this coffee shop is all about, you will feel the energy and the joy,” she said. 24．What problem does Café Joyeux aim to address?

And you all probably have one too. I am a re-gifter. I actually have a closet (橱柜) that is just for my gifts to “Re”! Don’t judge me. Re-gifting is an established Southern tradition. Waste not want not, right? Most of you probably have a shelf or a drawer at home that houses some things that are nice but just aren’t for you. So, rather than throw them away, you save them for a rainy day when you realize you need just the right thing for that person you totally forgot about. My re-gifting is an inherited practice. My mom keeps a closet filled with goodies to give. And my grandmother? One year he gave my mom this really fancy sweater on Christmas Day After dinner we pulled the videos and we watched everyone open the gifts from the year before. What did we see? My grandmother receiving the exact same sweater that she had just given my mom! Coincidence? No. So see? There was no way I was gonna be able to avoid my re-gifting. You would think I would learn my lesson since we have had one or two gifting disasters. Once, I sent my cousin, who lives in California, a wedding present from my closet…a clock that was given to me on my birthday by my crazy Aunt Nadine. It was unique! I truly thoughts he would love it. Weeks later I received a thank-you note for my thoughtful gift. Dear Erica: Thank you so much for the wonderful clock. I was a little confused when I opened it up and there was a card inside that said, “Happy Birthday Erica. Love, Aunt Nadine” But even after all that, the practice remains. I mean, I promise I’ll quit someday. First, I just have to get rid of the whistling key finder, light up shower mirror, cupcake-scented cream and the dot print hat. Any takers? 24．Why is re-gifting a longstanding Southern tradition? A．It helps in reducing waste. B．It is linked to the rainy days. C．It is a symbol of forgiveness.

So, rather than throw them away, you save them for a rainy day when you realize you need just the right thing for that person you totally forgot about.(转送礼物是南方根深蒂固的传统。不浪费，不贪心，对吧？你们大多数人可能在家里都有一个架子或抽屉，里面放着一些不错但不适合自己的东西。所以，与其把它们扔掉，不如把它们保存起来，以备不时之需，比如当你意识到你需要一件完美的礼物送给那个你完全忘记的人时)”可知，重新赠送礼物是为了减少浪费。故选A。 25．词句猜测题。根据下文“My mom keeps a closet filled with goodies to give. And my grandmother? One year he gave my mom this really fancy sweater on Christmas Day After dinner we pulled the videos and we watched everyone open the gifts from the year before.(我妈妈有一个装满礼物的衣柜。那我祖母呢？有一年，他在圣诞节当天给了我妈妈一件非常时髦的毛衣。晚饭后，我们拿出了录像带，看大家打开去年收到的礼物)”可知，作者转送礼物的行为是继承下来的习惯。inherited在这里的意思是“继承的，传递下来的”，与D选项中的“Passed down”意思相近。故选D。 26．推理判断题。根据文章第三段到第五段内容可知，作者的妈妈和祖母都有转送礼物的习惯，而且都发生了尴尬的事情，比如祖母送给妈妈的毛衣最后又回到了祖母手里，作者送给表哥的钟表里面还带着给作者的生日卡片。这些事情既有趣又尴尬。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“So see? There was no way I was gonna be able to avoid my re-gifting.(所以明白了吗？我不可能避免转送礼物)”和最后一段“But even after all that, the practice remains.

You can move your ugly car up now!” The silver-haired driver behind me in a fancy truck rudely yelled at me. Without much thought, I yelled back at the man, “What? Are you in a rush or something? ” I was waiting in line at the drive-through to order our breakfast on a Sunday morning. There were only 12 inches or so between me and the car in front of me. There were also three additional cars in front of that one. We were getting nowhere fast. What was he hoping to gain by yelling at me? I wanted to let my own anger go after this ridiculous exchange. But the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was angry that he yelled at a mother in front of two kids. My daughter and my son were both confused and saddened by what they had just witnessed. We were on our way to a soccer tournament, and we had a bonus day free from school and work. Probably, there was nothing in the world to be upset about. Then this man let his anger out. I told my kids I was so mad that I had to roll my window up so that I wouldn’t keep yelling at this guy. Then, I stopped and looked back. I had moved up the 12 or so inches at his “suggestion”, while he hadn’t moved an inch. Suddenly, I felt sympathy for him. He must have been suffering in some way. As my kids and I slowly made our way to the pick-up window to pay for our order, I had an idea. “I heard how rude that man was to you, and I wanted to apologize to you for having to put up with that. He isn’t worth paying for,” the cashier said to me. “My kids support me in doing that,” I answered the cashier, adding that hate cannot drive out hate. 4．Why was the driver angry with the author?

Freddie Corbett, 15, and Harley Hollingworth, 16, acted swiftly when they saw a distressed man jump onto the tracks at Bolton train station in South Yorkshire over the weekend. The friends, waiting for the last train home on Saturday night as their 11 p. m. curfew (宵禁) approached, noticed the man and heard him express his intention to end his life. “Freddie shouted out loud to stop the man from doing such silly things. Without hesitation, he jumped onto the tracks despite the oncoming train,” Freddie’s mother, Jill Corbett, told Sky News. Harley, who also leapt onto the tracks to help, said, “I wasn’t worried about the train. I just wanted to make sure Freddie got him off the tracks. We could see the train’s headlights approaching. It’s not a very long bend.” “The train arrived about 45 seconds after we got off,” the man kept saying. “You’re good lads.

Most give us a different priceless treasure — history. A sunken ship lies in trust, preserved in the airless environment of the sea and those in deep water are especially well protected. A sunken ship, therefore, can be a rare window through which a moment in time is glimpsed. The wreck of HMS Endurance, which has finally been located deep beneath the icy seas of Antarctica after being lost 110 years ago, was arguably the most valuable shipwreck ever sought. That’s because its discovery adds another thrilling new chapter to an already fascinating tale of perseverance and survival that has echoed down the decades and still inspires today. Incredibly well preserved at a depth of almost two miles, the ship is little changed from the day in November 1914 when it finally sank beneath the ice. Endurance became embedded in ice while crossing Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. The video shot by underwater search vehicles shows painted timbers, an undamaged guardrail (护栏), with the name “Endurance” written above the five-pointed symbol of a polar star. “I tell you, you would have to be made of stone not to feel a bit soft at the sight of that star and the name above,” Mensun Bound, the mission’s marine archaeologist, told the: BBC． “You can see a porthole (舷窗) that is in Shackleton’s cabin. At that moment, you really do feel the breath of the great man upon the back of your neck.” Shackleton’s leadership was crucial to getting his men out alive. The reason why Shackleton is still applauded as a great man becomes obvious when you consider what he achieved in the face of disasters and hardships during his 1914-16 expedition. The practicality and humanity he showed in the face of severe situations was arguably praised. 4．What makes Endurance the most valuable shipwreck? A．The treasure aboard. B．Its undamaged guardrail. C．Its inspiring stories. D．The symbol of a polar star. 5．What can we know about Endurance when it is discovered? A．It is badly damaged at a depth of almost two miles. B．It becomes fixed firmly and deeply beneath the icy seas C．It is beyond recognition from the day when it finally sank D．Its name above the five-pointed symbol of a polar star is gone. 6．What can we infer from Mensun Bound’s words? A．The floating ice is as hard as stones. B．The well-preserved shipwreck is amazing. C．The discovery of Endurance is challenging. D．The heroic deeds of Shackleton are touching. 7．What is the text type of the passage? A．A news report. B．A film review C．A diary. D．A travel journal. （四） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州市闽侯县闽江口协作校高二下学期期末】 I’ve been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years. As a boy growing up, I probably read hundreds of books. I read mysteries, science fiction, thrillers, and just about any other type of book I could find. I had a thirst for knowledge that never seemed to disappear, no matter how many books I read over the years. Then suddenly, I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share. I wanted to share things that were full of goodness, love, joy, and happiness. I tried to ignore my desire at first, but as any writer will tell you, once ideas awaken inside of you, they don’t leave you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, or even a typewriter, but I grabbed a pen and a notebook and wrote down everything that was burning inside of me. When I was finally done, I didn’t know how to share my work with the world. There was no Internet back then, no smartphones, and no social media. However, I sought out the editor of my local newspaper and asked if he would like to print what I’d written. He was a good man, full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. After that, of course, nothing could stop me. I continued to write new articles each week, which were published in different local papers and later on the Internet. Years later I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form. Through my writing, I slowly became a better person. Writing allowed me to discover the goodness and light that exist in us all. I also found that we are all writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we think, and with every action we take, we are writing our own life story. 4．What made the author read plenty of books? A．His thirst for knowledge.

Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired. Keren Taylor started WriteGirl in 2001 as a way to help teen girls who did not have access to creative writing programs. “Teen girls are incredibly vulnerable (脆弱的) and invisible.” Taylor said. “They really need to be lifted up and inspired.” At WriteGirl, 400 women writers volunteer to mentor (指导) 700 teenagers a year. Every girl who has gone through the mentorship program has gone to college and several have pursued careers as professional writers. Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations. A typical exercise at WriteGirl is mic and rant, a 30-second session before writing for each girl. As a means for teens to get their ideas out, it enables girls to explore anything meaningful to them. “Not the flowery language, or rather, complicated expressions that sound skillful, but more of the natural, this is what I’m thinking and what I’m feeling.” Taylor said. Sansa’s mentor Danyella Wilder is attracted by the long-term nature of mentoring at WriteGirl. “If only I could join in such a program when I was 15! An organization where people spend their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job.’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.” 4．Why did Sansa join WriteGirl?

Bodies and binoculars twist for a look. Camera shutters (快门) click violently, and then only birdsong fills the air again. I’m at the boardwalk of Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, for the annual 10-day Biggest Week in American Birding Festival, created in 2010 by the conservation organization, Black Swamp Bird Observatory. Migrating songbirds, especially warblers, stop here every May, one of the major flyways for bird migration. As the largest birding festival in the U.S., it attracts upward of 90,000 people, bringing in around $40 million to the local economy. Birding enthusiasm is hard to contain. “I pretty much spent whatever I had coming in, and it went out just that fast. Plus five credit cards,” said Greg Miller, a Biggest Week guide and birder. Miller is famous in the avian (鸟类的) world: He inspired the character Brad Harris, played by Jack Black, in the movie The Big Year, in which Jack crosses the country to compete for the Big Year record—a type of treasure hunt to see the most bird species in a year. A similar energy spreads through the gathering today. When a rare bird shows up at Magee Marsh, people will leave wherever they’re at and run to see whatever has shown up. After an exciting morning, I head to Blackberry Comers Tavern, a well-known stop for many Biggest Week attendees. The restaurant is packed with faces I saw earlier on the boardwalk.

Abandoning dreams of a career may have been in keeping with her era, but my mother threw herself into motherhood. My tennis shoes always shone thanks to her care when I slept. At lunch, my friends crowded around my lunch, the tastiest with enough to spare. My brother and I left home around age 16 for a better education. Our big house fell empty. There was no help and even no phone connection. Her “coping strategy” was to remind herself that she wanted us to have what she did not. Back then I was occupied with my own needs; today, I realise my mother paid for my education with her tears. If her self-sacrifice lifted me to greater heights, her second quality built the foundation. When I was young, my mother displayed in me an absolute faith and absolute love. In her eyes, I could do no wrong that I couldn’t fix. She didn’t say overly sweet things to declare her love, but just being with her made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. My mother allowed me to live a fuller life than hers without bargain, or guilt. To this she added extraordinary generosity. Today I credit my strength and stability to the certainty that, regardless of who else judges me, my mother will not. Currently I have my own kids. They are children of a different time. Today’s mothers have competing demands related to professional and personal goals. Sometimes, I must put my work above their needs.

However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries. One such amateur is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast and professional photographer. In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature. His passion for photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots. In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. Upon deeper investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is a rare find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye. A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart. 4．What can we learn about mushroom amateurs from paragraph 1? A．They keep close track of the growth of fungi. B．They help identify new species of mushroom. C．They replace professional scientists in the field. D．They classify the majority of mushroom species. 5．What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms? A．His desire for knowledge. B．His curiosity about nature. C．The beauty of nearby mushrooms. D．The appeal of outdoor photography. 6．Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3? A．Skilled and observant. B．Focused and flexible. C．Talented and optimistic.
