五、阅读理解
C
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Eleanor Roosevelt once said. If we want to accomplish anything in life, let us remember that we should never give up.
Viennese-born composer Frederick Loewe, whom we remember for his musical scores that include My Fair Lady, Gigi and Camelot, was not always famous. He learned to play the piano with European great masters and achieved huge success as a musician and composer in his early years.
But when he immigrated to the United States, he failed as a pianist. For a while he tried other types of work. But he never forsook his dream. Instead, this tough man continued to play the piano and write music. During those years, he could not always make ends meet by playing the piano.
One day, bent over the keyboard, he heard nothing but the music that he played with inspiration. When he finished and looked up, he was surprised to find that he had an audience—three men who were seated on the floor. They said nothing and made no movement toward the piano. Instead they dug into their pockets, took out all the money they had, placed it on the piano and walked out, empty-handed. Deeply touched by the beauty of his music, these men recognized excellence and responded to it.
Whatever you do, try your best. If what you do is worth doing and if you believe that who you are is of value, then you cannot afford to be content with mediocrity(平庸). When you choose the path of excellence through this life, you will bring out the best in yourself and receive the best it can offer in return.
1.What is the function of Roosevelt’s words in paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the topic. B.To show the benefits of dreams.
C.To praise Roosevelt’s wisdom. D.To attract readers’ attention to Roosevelt.
2.What does the underlined word “forsook” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Strengthened. B.Pursued. C.Exceeded. D.Abandoned.
3.Why did the three men pay Frederick?
A.They were supposed to do that.
B.They wanted to show their sympathy.
C.They were moved by his performance.
D.They wanted to make friends with him.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.All roads lead to Rome. B.Rome was not built in a day.
C.It’s never too late to improve. D.Success belongs to the persevering.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要通过弗雷德里克·洛伊的经历论证坚持梦想终会成功的道理。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段中的““The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Eleanor Roosevelt once said. If we want to accomplish anything in life, let us remember that we should never give up. (埃莉诺·罗斯福曾说过:“未来属于那些相信梦想之美的人。”如果我们想在生活中有所成就,让我们记住我们永远不应该放弃。)”可知,罗斯福的话引出了“坚持梦想”的主题。故选A项。
2.词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Instead, this tough man continued to play the piano and write music.(相反,这个坚强的人继续弹钢琴和作曲。)”可知,弗雷德里克·洛伊尽管遭遇失败,但他没有放弃自己的梦想,而是继续弹钢琴和创作音乐。所以“forsook”意为“放弃”,与“abandon”同义。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Deeply touched by the beauty of his music, these men recognized excellence and responded to it.(这些人被他音乐的美妙深深打动,认可了其中的卓越之处并做出了回应。)”可知,这三个人给弗雷德里克钱是因为被他的演奏感动。故选C项。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了作曲家弗雷德里克·洛伊在经历失败后仍坚持不懈地追求音乐梦想,最终得到他人认可的故事,强调了坚持对于成功的重要性,所以题目“成功属于坚持不懈的人”概括了文章的主题,最适合作为标题。故选D项。

六、七选五
There was a park near my home. But I didn't go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. 9 I found that the two paths were different from each other.
The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. 10 Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind.
11 It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. 12
Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn't believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.
13 Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!
A.It looked like it had not been cleaned for months.
B.After a while a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path.
C.There is nothing that I want to see.
D.I told them what happened.
E.“Which way should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other.
F.There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park.
G.My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life.
【答案】9.E 10.A 11.B 12.F 13.G

9.根据空前“I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths.(我走了一会儿,发现自己站在两条路前面)”可知,空前提到作者面前是两条路,故E项“我问自己‘我应该走哪条路?’我看了其中一条路,又看了看另一条。”符合语境,说明作者站在两条路前,不知道自己应该走哪一条路。故选E项。
10.根据空前“The path didn’t look nice.(这条路看起来不太好)”和空后“Grass grew everywhere.(草长得到处都是)”可知,空前和空后都提到了这条路看起来不太好,草长得到处都是,故A项“看起来它几个月未被清理了。”符合语境,这条路看起来像几个月未被清理了,因此草长得到处都是。故选A项。
11.根据空后“It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up.(这条路并不好,但我不想放弃)”可知,作者选择了那条看起来不太好的路,故B项“一会儿之后,一种奇怪的感觉让我选择了这条脏的路。”符合语境,选择了那条脏的路,虽然这条路并不好,但作者不想放弃。故选B项。
12.根据空前“It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen.(它是美丽的,也许是我见过最美丽的花园)”可知,空前提到作者选择的脏的路的尽头是一个美丽的花园,故F项“花园里有树、花和座椅。我认为这是公园里最棒的一部分。”符合语境,具体描写花园里的东西,作者认为脏路尽头的花园是公园最棒的一部分。故选F项。
13.根据空后“Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!(不要害怕选择一条不同的路。你可以会收获很大的惊喜)”可知,空后作者提出自己的感悟,故G项“那天的公园之行让我了解到了生活中的一些事情。”符合语境。作者在末段提出自己从那天的公园之行收获到了人生中的哲理,空后说明具体的哲理。故选G项。

六、七选五
There was a park near my home. But I didn't go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. 9 I found that the two paths were different from each other.
The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. 10 Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind.
11 It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. 12
Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn't believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.
13 Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!
