专题06 阅读表达 1.（23-24高一下·天津河西区·期末） Mr. Boswell, the owner of a hardware (五金制品) store, was looking for a young man to hire. Several dozen young men responded to his ad, but he eventually narrowed his choice down to three. They are Ted, John and Bob. Then he devised (设计) a final test. He gave each of them a new screwdriver (螺丝刀) with an innovative (创新的) design and told them to deliver it to Mr. Henderson at 314 Maple Street. After a while, Ted phoned the store to ask whether the number was actually 413, rather than 314. Later, he returned saying there was no house at that address. When John came back, he reported that 314 Maple was a funeral parlor (殡葬馆) and that Mr. Henderson had lived at 314, but had moved away. Bob took longer than the other two young men. Like John, he also discovered that Mr. Henderson had moved away but he managed to make sure of his new address and had gone there. Mr. Henderson didn’t remember ordering the screwdriver, but when Bob pointed out its unique features and told him the price, Mr. Henderson decided he wanted the screwdriver and paid for it on the spot. Who was hired? Bob, of course. He was given a task to do and he did it. We shouldn’t let any difficulty put in our paths and stop us from reaching our goals. The secret to success in our lives is to do the common things uncommonly well. Persistence (坚持) and patience produces payoff in our lives. Even when it doesn’t appear to do so, it produces a payoff in character. 46．By writing the passage, what does the author want to tell readers? (No more than 8 words) 47．Please explain the underlined word “deliver” in English. (only I word) 48．How do you understand the sentence “He eventually narrowed his choice down to three.” ? (No more than 15 words) 49．Why did Mr. Henderson accept the screwdriver? (No more than 8 words) 50．What do you think is the secret to success in our lives? (No more than 20 words) 【答案】46．Persistence and patience leads to success. 或者Persistence and patience produces payoff in our lives. 47．Send./ Give./ Present. 48．Mr. Boswell reduced the number of the applicants to three at last. 49．He was persuaded by Bob. 50．Doing common things uncommonly well and having persistence and patience. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。五金店老板Boswell招聘员工，最终筛选出Ted、John和Bob三人进行测试。他让他们送新螺丝刀给Henderson先生，Ted和John遇到问题后放弃，而Bob不仅找到Henderson新址，还成功推销了螺丝刀。最终Bob被聘用。 46．考查主旨大意。根据最后一段“Who was hired? Bob, of course. He was given a task to do and he did it. We shouldn't let any difficulty put in our paths and stop us from reaching our goals. The secret to success in our lives is to do the common things uncommonly well. Persistence (坚持) and patience produces payoff in our lives. Even when it doesn't appear to do so, it produces a payoff in character. (谁被录用了？当然是鲍勃。给了他一个任务，他完成了。我们不应该让任何困难挡在我们的道路上，阻止我们实现目标。人生成功的秘诀就是把平凡的事情做得不平凡。坚持和耐心会给我们的生活带来回报。即使它看起来没有这样做，它也会给角色带来回报。)”可知，作者通过讲述Mr. Boswell招聘员工的故事，想要告诉读者坚持和耐心会带来成功或坚持和耐心会给我们的生活带来回报。故答案为：Persistence and patience leads to success. 或者Persistence and patience produces payoff in our lives. 47．考查词句猜测。根据第一段中的“He gave each of them a new screwdriver (螺丝刀) with an innovative (创新的) design and told them (他给了他们每人一个新设计新颖的螺丝刀，并让他们)”和“to Mr. Henderson at 314 Maple Street (到枫树街314号的亨德森那里)”可知，他给了他们每人一个新设计新颖的螺丝刀，并让他们把它送到枫树街314号的亨德森那里。deliver在文中指的是“送，给，把……交给”。故答案为：Send./ Give./ Present. 48．考查词句猜测。根据第一段中的“Several dozen young men responded to his ad (几十个年轻人回应了他的广告)”和“They are Ted, John and Bob (他们是泰德、约翰和鲍勃。)”可知，几十个年轻人回应了他的广告，但他最终将选择范围缩小到三个。他们是泰德、约翰和鲍勃。这句话的意思是，博斯韦尔先生最后把申请者的人数减少到了三人。故答案为：Mr. Boswell reduced the number of the applicants to three at last. 49．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“Mr. Henderson didn’t remember ordering the screwdriver, but when Bob pointed out its unique features and told him the price, Mr. Henderson decided he wanted the screwdriver and paid for it on the spot. (亨德森先生不记得订购了这把螺丝刀，但当鲍勃指出它的独特之处并告诉他价格时，亨德森决定要这把螺丝刀，并当场付款。)”可知，Mr. Henderson接受螺丝刀是因为Bob向他指出了螺丝刀的独特之处并告知价格，他被鲍勃说服了。故答案为：He was persuaded by Bob. 50．考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“Who was hired? Bob, of course. He was given a task to do and he did it. We shouldn't let any difficulty put in our paths and stop us from reaching our goals. The secret to success in our lives is to do the common things uncommonly well. Persistence (坚持) and patience produces payoff in our lives. Even when it doesn't appear to do so, it produces a payoff in character. (谁被录用了？当然是鲍勃。给了他一个任务，他完成了。我们不应该让任何困难挡在我们的道路上，阻止我们实现目标。人生成功的秘诀就是把平凡的事情做得不平凡。坚持和耐心会给我们的生活带来回报。即使它看起来没有这样做，它也会给角色带来回报。)”可知，成功生活的秘诀在于把平常的事情做得特别好，而且要有毅力和耐心。故答案为：Doing common things uncommonly well and having persistence and patience. 2.（23-24高一下·天津和平区·期末） Lee Shapiro is a retired judge. At one point in his career, Lee realized that love is the greatest power there is. As a result, Lee became a hugger. He began offering everybody a hug. His colleagues called him “the hugging judge”. About six years ago Lee created what he calls his Hugger Kit. On the outside it reads “A heart for a hug,” and there are 30 little hearts inside. Lee will go around to people and offer them a little red heart in exchange for a hug. One day, Lee’s friend Nancy Johnston called, “Lee, take a bunch(串) of your Hugger Kits and let’s go out to the home for the disables.” When they arrived at the home, they started giving out balloon hats, hearts and hugs to the patients. Lee was uncomfortable. He had never before hugged people who were seriously ill, and severely retarded (智力迟钝的). But after a while it became easier. A group of doctors and nurses followed them. After several hours Lee came to the last person, Leonard. Leonard was wearing a big white bib (围嘴), which he was drooling (流口水) on. Lee looked at Leonard and said, “Let’s go, Nancy. There’s no way we can get through to this person.” Nancy replied, “Come on, Lee. He’s a fellow human being, too, isn’t he?" Then she placed a funny balloon hat on his head. Lee took one of his little red hearts and placed it on Leonard’s bib. He took a deep breath, leaned (屈身) down and gave Leonard a hug. All of a sudden Leonard began to scream, “Eeeeehh! Eeeeeehh!”Some of the other patients in the room began to make a loud sound together. Every doctor and nurse was crying. Lee asked the head nurse, “What’s going on?” Lee will never forget what she said: “This is the first time in 23 years we’ve seen Leonard smile.” 46．What’s the Hugger Kit like? (No more than 20 words) 47．What did Lee think of hugging the disabled patients at first? (I word) 48．How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5? (No more than 5 words) 49．Why did the doctors and nurses cry? (No more than 10 words) 50．What do you think of what Lee did? (No more than 20 words) 【答案】46．On the outside it reads “A heart for a hug,” and there are 30 little hearts inside. 47．Uncomfortable. 48．We can’t hug this person. 49．Leonard smiled for the first time in 23 years. 50．What Lee did spreads the greatest power of love; it’s so heart-warming. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了退休法官李·夏皮罗是一名拥抱者，讲述了他成为拥抱者的经历。 46．考查细节理解。根据第二段“About six years ago Lee created what he calls his Hugger Kit. On the outside it reads “A heart for a hug,” and there are 30 little hearts inside.(大约六年前，李发明了他的抱抱包。外面写着“一个拥抱换一颗心”，里面有30颗小心心)”可知，抱抱包外面写着“一个拥抱换一颗心”，里面有30颗小心。故答案为On the outside it reads “A heart for a hug,” and there are 30 little hearts inside. 47．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Lee was uncomfortable.(李很不舒服)”可知，起初，李对拥抱残疾患者感到不舒服。故答案为Uncomfortable. 48．考查句意猜测。根据第四段“When they arrived at the home, they started giving out balloon hats, hearts and hugs to the patients.(当他们到达养老院时，他们开始向病人分发气球帽、爱心和拥抱)”以及第五段“After several hours Lee came to the last person, Leonard. Leonard was wearing a big white bib (围嘴), which he was drooling (流口水) on.(几个小时后，李来到了最后一个人，莱纳德。莱纳德穿着一件白色的大围嘴，嘴里还流着口水)”以及“He took a deep breath, leaned (屈身) down and gave Leonard a hug.(他深吸了一口气，俯身给了莱纳德一个拥抱)”可知，李看到莱纳德穿着一件白色的大围嘴，嘴里还流着口水，想要离开，说他们无法拥抱莱纳德。故划线句意思是“我们不能拥抱这个人”。故答案为We can’t hug this person. 49．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“This is the first time in 23 years we’ve seen Leonard smile. (这是23年来我们第一次看到莱纳德笑)”可知，医生和护士哭了是因为伦纳德23年来第一次笑了。故答案为Leonard smiled for the first time in 23 years. 50．考查开放题。根据第一段“Lee Shapiro is a retired judge. At one point in his career, Lee realized that love is the greatest power there is. As a result, Lee became a hugger. He began offering everybody a hug. His colleagues called him “the hugging judge”.(李·夏皮罗是一名退休法官。在他职业生涯的某个时刻，李意识到爱是最伟大的力量。结果，李成为了一个拥抱者。他开始拥抱每个人。他的同事称他为“拥抱法官”)”可回答：李所做的传播了爱的最大力量；太暖心了。故答案为What Lee did spreads the greatest power of love; it’s so heart-warming. 3.（23-24高一下·天津河北区·期末） Before Christmas last year I found a charity that was looking for workers to show care to the elderly. I wrote to the charity and asked if I could send gifts to some elderly people of their choosing, and some Christmas cards to more elderly shut-ins (不方便出门的人). Thankfully they consented. I left the cards unsealed (未封口的) so the recipients could read the messages. I became really enthusiastic about the project designing colorful decorations on the cards to make them personal. I signed my name and the charity’s name to avoid any confusion about who I was. I left it to the charity to decide who would best receive a card. This was so much fun! I loved sending these cards to elderly people who might not receive much attention during the holidays. If I had had more money, I would have given more gifts, but I could only send about 20 little gift bags containing candy, special soap, towels, and other items. Despite this, it was a great pleasure for me. The charity kindly wrapped my gifts with the paper I provided and delivered everything to recipients all over the area. According to them, the gifts were much appreciated. I hope so. But I know I was the one who benefited most. It was a joy trying to cheer up strangers who I knew would be shut-ins due to illness during the holidays. To me, it was truly a glorious experience! Such a little thing to do, but maybe it made at least one person smile. I truly hope so. That was my intention — to spread love and hope for the best. Reflecting on the experience, I realize how meaningful it was. The joy of knowing that I might have brightened someone’s day, even if just for a moment, was incredibly fulfilling. It reinforced the idea that small acts of kindness can have a big impact I look forward to continuing this tradition and finding new ways to bring joy to those who need it most. 46．What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 1? (1 word) 47．Why did the author sign his name and the charity’s name on the cards? (no more than 10 words) 48．What kind of people did the author want to send his cards to? (no more than 10 words) 49．Why did the author think he was the one who benefited most? (no more than 15 words) 50．How does the author’s story inspire you to help others? Please explain. (no more than 25 words) 【答案】46．Agreed. 47．To make the elderly know who sent them the cards./To make the elderly know who sent the cards to them. / To avoid any confusion about who the sender was. 48．The elderly who might receive less attention during the holidays. 49．Because it’s a joy trying to make elderly shut-ins happy during the holidays./ Because trying to cheer up strangers was a joy, it was a glorious experience. 50．I will actively participate in community activities and talk face to face with lonely elderly people. Because conversation can help them get rid of loneliness. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者通过送卡片给不方便出门的老人，对作者来说，这真是一次光荣的经历!这样一件小事既让作者感到满足也给老人们带去了快乐。 46．考查词句猜测题。根据上文“Before Christmas last year I found a charity that was looking for workers to show care to the elderly. I wrote to the charity and asked if I could send gifts to some elderly people of their choosing, and some Christmas cards to more elderly shut-ins (不方便出门的人). (去年圣诞节前，我发现一家慈善机构正在寻找照顾老人的工人。我写信给慈善机构，问他们我是否可以给他们选择的一些老人送礼物，给更多的不合群的老人送圣诞卡。)”及“Thankfully(谢天谢地)”以及下文“I left the cards unsealed (未封口的) so the recipients could read the messages. I became really enthusiastic about the project designing colorful decorations on the cards to make them personal.”（我卡片没有封口，这样收信人就能读到留言。我对这个项目非常感兴趣，我在卡片上设计了五颜六色的装饰，使它们更加个性化。）可知，他们同意了作者想法。所以划线词的意思是“同意”。故回答为：Agreed. 47．考查细节理解题。根据第二段“I signed my name and the charity’s name to avoid any confusion about who I was.”（我签了我的名字和慈善机构的名字，以避免混淆我是谁。）可知，作者为什么在卡片上签上自己的名字和慈善机构的名字是因为让老人知道是谁送的卡片。故回答为：To make the elderly know who sent them the cards./To make the elderly know who sent the cards to them. / To avoid any confusion about who the sender was. 48．考查细节理解题。根据第三段“I loved sending these cards to elderly people who might not receive much attention during the holidays.”（我喜欢把这些卡片寄给那些在假期里可能不会受到太多关注的老人）可知，作者想把卡片寄给在节日期间受到较少关注的老年人。故回答为：The elderly who might receive less attention during the holidays. 49．考查细节理解题。根据第四段“But I know I was the one who benefited most. It was a joy trying to cheer up strangers who I knew would be shut-ins due to illness during the holidays.”（但我知道我是受益最多的人。试着让那些我知道在假期里会因为生病而不方便出门的陌生人振作起来是一种快乐。）可知，作者认为他是受益最多的人是因为在假期里让那些不方便出门的老人开心是一件乐事。故回答为：Because it’s a joy trying to make elderly shut-ins happy during the holidays./ Because trying to cheer up strangers was a joy, it was a glorious experience. 50．开放性试题。作者的故事如何激励你去帮助别人?请解释。我会积极参加社区活动，与孤寡老人面对面交流。因为交谈可以帮助他们摆脱孤独。故回答为：I will actively participate in community activities and talk face to face with lonely elderly people. Because conversation can help them get rid of loneliness. 3.（23-24高一下·天津南开区·期末） I’m not sure whether anyone ever expects to go to their local animal shelter in order to see a large rabbit. I certainly don’t. Last spring, I went there for one of my regular volunteer jobs. On arriving, I was greeted by Chuck, the director of the shelter, with a heart y recommendation, “You’ve got to see what’s in the ‘Welcome Room’ today!” I was used to seeing an unexpected lizard or parrot, but I was not prepared for a big rabbit that filled the cage. It sat quietly eating something while I watched it in surprise. I said, “It’s too huge!” Then Chuck said, “Look!” He pushed a stick through the cage and raised the rabbit’s middle part a little. Much to my surprise, a small gray kitten was lying there. “What is this?” I asked, shocked to see another living animal of a completely different species hidden peacefully under a rabbit. “It’s strange, huh?” Chuck laughed, “A man in Town Acres called yesterday afternoon, saying there was a huge rabbit in his backyard that had been sitting there for a full day, and it hadn’t moved an inch. He thought it was injured, so he and his family went out to look at it. It’s a French Lop rabbit, and she’s surely somebody’s pet. There is no doubt about it. But she still didn’t move when they got close, and when they went to pick her up, that little kitten was right underneath her—just like he is now. And when they tried to separate them, that kitten cried! It was like being separated from his mother.” “Animals are interesting, huh?” I said. “I wonder how those two got connected.” “Well, it has been shrouded in mystery,” Chuck said. “Up to now, we have not found any scientific proof,” It certainly was strange, and for the next three days, everyone at the shelter called this unusual pair The Gray Duo. I guessed they got together because both of them needed a companion (同伴) to give them love and care. 51．Why did the author go to the animal shelter? (no more than 10 words) 52．What made the author feel so surprised? (no more than 10 words) 53．Why did the man in Town Acres call the animal shelter? (no more than 15words) 54．How can we understand the underlined part in the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words) 55．What can you learn from the story? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】51．For one of his / her regular volunteer jobs. 52．A big rabbit that filled the cage. 53．Because there was a huge rabbit in his backyard without moving all day. 54．这是一件神秘的事情。 55．Both human and animals need a companion to share love and care. 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去动物收容所做常规志愿者工作时，发现一只兔子和一只猫呆在同一个笼子里，文章告诉我们人或者动物都需要一个动物来分享关心和爱。 51．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Last spring, I went there for one of my regular volunteer jobs. (去年春天，我去那里做我的一项常规志愿者工作。)”可知，作者去那里是做一项常规志愿者工作。故答案为For one of his / her regular volunteer jobs. 52．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I was used to seeing an unexpected lizard or parrot, but I was not prepared for a big rabbit that filled the cage. It sat quietly eating something while I watched it in surprise. (我习惯了看到一只意想不到的蜥蜴或鹦鹉，但我没有准备好看到一只大兔子填满了笼子。它静静地坐着吃东西，我惊讶地看着它。)”可知，作者感到惊讶时因为看见一只大兔子在笼子里。故答案为A big rabbit that filled the cage. 53．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“ ‘It’s strange, huh?’ Chuck laughed, ‘A man in Town Acres called yesterday afternoon, saying there was a huge rabbit in his backyard that had been sitting there for a full day, and it hadn’t moved an inch. He thought it was injured, so he and his family went out to look at it. It’s a French Lop rabbit, and she’s surely somebody’s pet. There is no doubt about it. But she still didn’t move when they got close, and when they went to pick her up, that little kitten was right underneath her—just like he is now. And when they tried to separate them, that kitten cried! It was like being separated from his mother.’ (“很奇怪，是吧?”查克笑着说:“昨天下午，一个小镇的人打电话来说，他的后院有一只大兔子，它在那里呆了一整天，一动也没动。他以为它受伤了，所以他和他的家人出去看它。这是一只法国罗布兔，她肯定是某人的宠物。这是毫无疑问的。但当他们走近她的时候，她还是一动不动，当他们去把她抱起来的时候，那只小猫就在她的下面——就像它现在一样。当他们试图把它们分开时，那只小猫哭了!就像和母亲分开了一样。”)”可知，小镇的人打电话来时因为后院的一只兔子在那里一整天都不动。故答案为Because there was a huge rabbit in his backyard without moving all day. 54．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“ ‘Up to now, we have not found any scientific proof,’ It certainly was strange, and for the next three days, everyone at the shelter called this unusual pair The Gray Duo. (“到目前为止，我们还没有找到任何科学证据。”这确实很奇怪，在接下来的三天里，收容所的每个人都把这对不寻常的夫妇称为“灰色二人组”。)”他们没有找到证据，猫和兔子为什么要在一起；可知，画线部分应该指的是“这是一件神秘的事情”。故答案为这是一件神秘的事情。 55．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“. I guessed they got together because both of them needed a companion(同伴) to give them love and care. (我猜他们在一起是因为他们都需要一个伴侣给他们爱和关心。)”可知，作者猜测猫和兔子在一起是因为他们需要一个伴侣给他们爱和关系；所以动物和人类一样需要有一个伴侣来分享爱和关心。故答案为Both human and animals need a companion to share love and care. 4.（23-24高一下·天津五区县·期末） Once upon a time, in a little village called Charmington, there lived a shy and unconfident girl named Lily. Lily was a kind-hearted soul, but her lack of self-assurance often led her to doubt her own beauty and worth. One sunny day, as Lily wandered through the streets of Charmington, she came across a charming little shop filled with shining hair accessories (配饰). Among the treasures, her eyes were attracted by a lovely bow (蝴蝶结) that seemed to callout to her. Despite her hesitation, something inside Lily told her to take a small act of self-expression and pay for the bow. She bought it and gently put it in her hair. At that very moment, a magical transformation took place. Lily felt a burst of confidence, as if the bow had given her a newfound confidence and charm. Excited about her new accessory, Lily confidently walked down the busy streets of Charmington, unaware that the bow had slipped and dropped unnoticed from her hair. Her newfound confidence made her feel beautiful inside and out. As Lily walked, something amazing began to happen. People passing by couldn’t help but notice her beauty, the warmth that shined from herself. Strangers smiled at her, complimenting her on her look and bright smile. Confused by their compliments, Lily touched her hair, only to realize that the bow was missing. Instead of feeling embarrassed or disheartened, she couldn’t help but be amazed by the power of her own confidence. Lily began to understand that true beauty lies not in outside decorations but in self-assurance and grace. It was her confidence that had caught the attention and admiration of those around her. 61．What was the biggest challenge for Lily? (No more than 15 words.) 62．What happened to Lily’s new bow?(No more than 10 words.) 63．What does the underlined word “complimenting” probably mean? (Only 1 word.) 64．According to the passage, what is the true beauty? (No more than 15 words.) 65．In your opinion, how to build your own confidence? (No more than 20 words.) 【答案】61．She was shy and unconfident. / Her lack of self-assurance often led her to doubt her own beauty and worth. 62．It slipped and dropped from her hair. 63．Praising. 64．True beauty lies not in outside decorations but in self-assurance and grace. 65．Set achievable goals, embrace challenges, celebrate small wins, and surround yourself with positivity and encouragement. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过Lily的故事，强调了由内而外的自信的重要性。 61．考查推理判断。由文章第一段“Once upon a time, in a little village called Charmington, there lived a shy and unconfident girl named Lily. Lily was a kind-hearted soul, but her lack of self-assurance often led her to doubt her own beauty and worth. (从前，在一个叫查明顿的小村庄里，住着一个害羞而不自信的女孩，她的名字叫莉莉。莉莉是一个善良的灵魂，但缺乏自信经常让她怀疑自己的美丽和价值。)”可知，莉莉害羞而不自信，她缺乏自信，常常怀疑自己的美丽和价值。故答案为：She was shy and unconfident. / Her lack of self-assurance often led her to doubt her own beauty and worth. 62．考查细节理解。由文章第三段中“Excited about her new accessory, Lily confidently walked down the busy streets of Charmington, unaware that the bow had slipped and dropped unnoticed from her hair. (莉莉对她的新配饰感到兴奋，她自信地走在查明顿繁忙的街道上，没有意识到蝴蝶结已经从她的头发上滑落下来了。)”可知，莉莉的新蝴蝶结从她的头发上滑落下来。故答案为：It slipped and dropped from her hair. 63．考查词句猜测。由文章第三段中“ People passing by couldn’t help but notice her beauty, the warmth that shined from herself. (路过的人都注意到她的美丽，她身上散发出的温暖。)”结合画线句“Strangers smiled at her, complimenting her on her look and bright smile.(陌生人对她微笑，complimenting她的美貌和灿烂的笑容。)”可推断，莉莉走在街道上，人们注意到莉莉的魅力和温暖，陌生人也对她微笑，称赞她的美貌和灿烂的笑容。画线词的含义为“称赞”，praise意为“称赞”，原文中complimenting为现在分词，praise也用现在分词。故答案为：Praising. 64．考查细节理解。由文章最后一段中“Lily began to understand that true beauty lies not in outside decorations but in self-assurance and grace. It was her confidence that had caught the attention and admiration of those around her. (莉莉开始明白，真正的美不在于外在的装饰，而在于自信和优雅。正是她的自信引起了周围人的注意和钦佩。)”可知，真正的美不在于外表的装饰，而在于自信和优雅。故答案为：True beauty lies not in outside decorations but in self-assurance and grace. 65．开放题。正确即可。例如：设定可实现的目标、迎接挑战、庆祝小小的胜利、让自己充满积极和鼓励，这些都可以建立自己的信心。故答案为：Set achievable goals, embrace challenges, celebrate small wins, and surround yourself with positivity and encouragement. 1 / 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06 阅读表达 1.（23-24高一下·天津河西区·期末） Mr. Boswell, the owner of a hardware (五金制品) store, was looking for a young man to hire. Several dozen young men responded to his ad, but he eventually narrowed his choice down to three. They are Ted, John and Bob. Then he devised (设计) a final test. He gave each of them a new screwdriver (螺丝刀) with an innovative (创新的) design and told them to deliver it to Mr. Henderson at 314 Maple Street. After a while, Ted phoned the store to ask whether the number was actually 413, rather than 314. Later, he returned saying there was no house at that address. When John came back, he reported that 314 Maple was a funeral parlor (殡葬馆) and that Mr. Henderson had lived at 314, but had moved away. Bob took longer than the other two young men. Like John, he also discovered that Mr. Henderson had moved away but he managed to make sure of his new address and had gone there. Mr. Henderson didn’t remember ordering the screwdriver, but when Bob pointed out its unique features and told him the price, Mr. Henderson decided he wanted the screwdriver and paid for it on the spot. Who was hired? Bob, of course. He was given a task to do and he did it. We shouldn’t let any difficulty put in our paths and stop us from reaching our goals. The secret to success in our lives is to do the common things uncommonly well. Persistence (坚持) and patience produces payoff in our lives.

I wrote to the charity and asked if I could send gifts to some elderly people of their choosing, and some Christmas cards to more elderly shut-ins (不方便出门的人). Thankfully they consented. I left the cards unsealed (未封口的) so the recipients could read the messages. I became really enthusiastic about the project designing colorful decorations on the cards to make them personal. I signed my name and the charity’s name to avoid any confusion about who I was. I left it to the charity to decide who would best receive a card. This was so much fun! I loved sending these cards to elderly people who might not receive much attention during the holidays. If I had had more money, I would have given more gifts, but I could only send about 20 little gift bags containing candy, special soap, towels, and other items. Despite this, it was a great pleasure for me. The charity kindly wrapped my gifts with the paper I provided and delivered everything to recipients all over the area. According to them, the gifts were much appreciated. I hope so. But I know I was the one who benefited most. It was a joy trying to cheer up strangers who I knew would be shut-ins due to illness during the holidays. To me, it was truly a glorious experience! Such a little thing to do, but maybe it made at least one person smile. I truly hope so. That was my intention — to spread love and hope for the best. Reflecting on the experience, I realize how meaningful it was. The joy of knowing that I might have brightened someone’s day, even if just for a moment, was incredibly fulfilling. It reinforced the idea that small acts of kindness can have a big impact I look forward to continuing this tradition and finding new ways to bring joy to those who need it most. 46．What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 1?

Last spring, I went there for one of my regular volunteer jobs. On arriving, I was greeted by Chuck, the director of the shelter, with a heart y recommendation, “You’ve got to see what’s in the ‘Welcome Room’ today!” I was used to seeing an unexpected lizard or parrot, but I was not prepared for a big rabbit that filled the cage. It sat quietly eating something while I watched it in surprise. I said, “It’s too huge!” Then Chuck said, “Look!” He pushed a stick through the cage and raised the rabbit’s middle part a little. Much to my surprise, a small gray kitten was lying there. “What is this?” I asked, shocked to see another living animal of a completely different species hidden peacefully under a rabbit. “It’s strange, huh?” Chuck laughed, “A man in Town Acres called yesterday afternoon, saying there was a huge rabbit in his backyard that had been sitting there for a full day, and it hadn’t moved an inch. He thought it was injured, so he and his family went out to look at it. It’s a French Lop rabbit, and she’s surely somebody’s pet. There is no doubt about it. But she still didn’t move when they got close, and when they went to pick her up, that little kitten was right underneath her—just like he is now. And when they tried to separate them, that kitten cried! It was like being separated from his mother.” “Animals are interesting, huh?” I said. “I wonder how those two got connected.” “Well, it has been shrouded in mystery,” Chuck said. “Up to now, we have not found any scientific proof,” It certainly was strange, and for the next three days, everyone at the shelter called this unusual pair The Gray Duo. I guessed they got together because both of them needed a companion (同伴) to give them love and care. 51．Why did the author go to the animal shelter?

Lily was a kind-hearted soul, but her lack of self-assurance often led her to doubt her own beauty and worth. One sunny day, as Lily wandered through the streets of Charmington, she came across a charming little shop filled with shining hair accessories (配饰). Among the treasures, her eyes were attracted by a lovely bow (蝴蝶结) that seemed to callout to her. Despite her hesitation, something inside Lily told her to take a small act of self-expression and pay for the bow. She bought it and gently put it in her hair. At that very moment, a magical transformation took place. Lily felt a burst of confidence, as if the bow had given her a newfound confidence and charm. Excited about her new accessory, Lily confidently walked down the busy streets of Charmington, unaware that the bow had slipped and dropped unnoticed from her hair. Her newfound confidence made her feel beautiful inside and out. As Lily walked, something amazing began to happen. People passing by couldn’t help but notice her beauty, the warmth that shined from herself. Strangers smiled at her, complimenting her on her look and bright smile. Confused by their compliments, Lily touched her hair, only to realize that the bow was missing. Instead of feeling embarrassed or disheartened, she couldn’t help but be amazed by the power of her own confidence. Lily began to understand that true beauty lies not in outside decorations but in self-assurance and grace. It was her confidence that had caught the attention and admiration of those around her. 61．What was the biggest challenge for Lily?
