I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible. On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I thought he’d walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up, and then smiled. Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice, “Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just hang on.” He then smiled again and walked away. I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and care! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again. That was thirty years ago. And I’ve never forgotten that moment. Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them, sit with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy, or talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything. If you keep your head up, your heart will show you the place that needs hope. 1．How did the author feel when he was a freshman? A．Joyful. B．Desperate. C．Confident. D．Positive. 2．Where did the writer meet the young man? A．In the school. B．In the school bus. C．In the classroom. D．In the library. 3．What can we infer about the author from the passage? A．He was very grateful to that young man. B．He had known the young man for a long time. C．He avoided meeting the young man since then. D．He made friends with the young man afterwards. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．The young man always tried his best to help those who were in trouble. B．The author traveled to a lot of places to look for the young man but failed. C．It was the young man’s smile and words that made the author feel hopeful. D．The author had never been praised by others before he met the young man. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述高中一年级时作者陷入绝望，陌生年轻人的鼓励给予其希望，此后作者也常向他人传递希望。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible.(我感到绝望和孤独，我认为一切都是不可能的。)”可知，在高中一年级的时候，作者经历了一段无望的时光。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段的“On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. (有一天，我走出教室，穿过学校，赶校车回家，低着头，强忍绝望的泪水，这时一个年轻人从人行道上走向我。)”可知，作者是在学校见到了这个陌生人。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段的“I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again.(我在学校找他，想向他道谢，但再也没见过他)”可推知，作者非常感激那个年轻人。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段的“Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice: ‘Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just hang on.’ He then smiled again and walked away (这个陌生人看着我的眼睛，轻声说：‘一切都会过去的。你会没事的，坚持住。’然后他又笑了笑，走开了。)”和第四段的“I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope.(我无法解释那个人出人意料的善良和关心所带来的影响!他给了我一件我完全失去的东西——希望)”可推知，是那个年轻人的微笑和话语使作者感到有希望。故选C项。 （24-25高一上·广东清远·阶段练习）Applying to Kents Hill High School is easy.

That morning, I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school. I miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here and there’s a lot to explore at senior high school. I feel much more confident than I felt that morning. My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing. First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones from maths, English, chemistry, world history, Chinese and so on. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced courses, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. 1．How did the author feel after the first morning of senior high school? A．Confident. B．Disappointed. C．Frightened. D．Anxious. 2．Which course did the school adviser recommend the author to take? A．Maths. B．Literature. C．Chinese. D．Chemistry. 3．What can we learn from paragraph 4? A．The coach advised Adam to join a volunteer club. B．Adam decided to make the team the next year. C．Adam handed out food to the students in the school. D．The coach helped Adam practice playing football. 4．Which of the following words can describe Adam? A．Shallow. B．Negative. C．Positive. D．Dependent. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者亚当进入高中后的经历和感受，包括选课、参加课外活动以及面对挑战的决心等。 1．细节理解题。由第一段中“I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school. (在高中的第一天，我一点也不觉得尴尬或害怕)”和“I feel much more confident than I felt that morning. (我比那天早上更有信心了)”可知，作者在高中的第一个早晨之后感到更有信心了。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。由第三段中“My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. (我的顾问建议我报名参加高级文学课程，因为我喜欢英语，而且我很擅长)”可知，学校顾问建议作者选高级文学这门课程。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。由第四段中“I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. (我试图加入学校足球队，但教练告诉我我踢得不够好。显然，我很不开心，但我不会放弃。我会找到一种方法来提高自己，这样我明年就可以进入球队了)”可知，虽然作者加入足球队失败了，但他下定决心明年加入球队。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。由全文和最后一段中“Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. (不过，我很高兴能来这里。努力学习并不总是很有趣，但我会为大学或未来的任何事情做好准备)”可知，第一天适应良好，未被足球队录取后主动寻找其他活动（志愿者俱乐部），对学业挑战保持信心，可得出Adam对于高中生活持积极态度。故选C项。 （24-25高一上·福建漳州·期末）“You’re fired! ” Andrew Chilton wasn’t joking. At that moment, he wanted his personal caregiver, Christy Chachere, out of his life forever. He didn’t want her to tell him he could write his own term papers. Christy didn’t give way. Andrew’s outcry was like music to her ears. “Progress!” she continued to encourage him. When Andrew was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) at age eight, his mother, Cindy, was told to “get him on the list” for a caregiver to provide after-school care. However, in their city, the need for a caregiver was far higher than the supply. It was eight years before they were matched with Christy. In the beginning, Andrew’s family did their best to shelter him from life’s difficulties. “I worry about him,” Cindy said. Would he ever have a job and live independently? Cindy would do anything for her son. “You have to let him fail,” Christy told the family. “It’s the only way he’s going to learn — to be able to do things on his own.” No longer would Cindy write Andrew’s papers for him. Christy wouldn’t be helping him with homework, either. It was a little scary to step back. But everyone was on board, except Andrew. He complained (抱怨) loudly at times. But then things began to change. Christy wouldn’t do his papers for him. But she showed him how to get organized. And she coached him on how to deal with failures and difficulties, and how to break work down into small pieces so as not to feel too stressed. One step at a time, Andrew gained independence. He graduated from high school and entered community college. And he stopped trying to fire Christy. She’s been with him for six years now. This past summer, Andrew was a counselor (顾问) at a camp for kids with autism. Now, he’s studying to pass the driving test. Andrew says life has never been better. 1．Why did it take so long for Andrew’s family to match Christy? A．Andrew didn’t want to accept help. B．Andrew wasn’t on the list for a caregiver. C．His family tried to shelter him themselves. D．Caregivers were in great demand in their city. 2．How did Christy get Andrew improved? A．By finishing tasks for him. B．By planning his schedules. C．By providing instructions. D．By giving all-day care. 3．Which of the following best describes Christy according to the text? A．Considerate but overprotective. B．Confident but self-centered. C．Strict and adventurous. D．Wise and supportive. 4．Which would be the best title for the text? A．Caring for autistic children in the community. B．Gaining independence with a guiding hand. C．Family’s support in the growth path. D．Challenges of living with autism. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Andrew患有阿斯伯格综合征，八岁时妈妈给他找了护理员来照顾他，之后护理员Christy通过教Andrew如何独立，使Andrew的生活得到了改变。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, in their city, the need for a caregiver was far higher than the supply. It was eight years before they were matched with Christy.(然而，在他们的城市，对护理人员的需求远远高于供应。八年后，他们才与Christy匹配护士)”可知，Andrew一家很久才匹配到Christy，是因为在他们的城市对护理人员的需求远远高于供应，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“But she showed him how to get organized. And she coached him on how to deal with failures and difficulties, and how to break work down into small pieces so as not to feel too stressed.(但她教他如何组织起来。她还教他如何处理失败和困难，以及如何把工作分解成小块，以免感到压力太大)”可知，Christy通过提供指导来帮助Andrew进步，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘You have to let him fail,’ Christy told the family. ‘It’s the only way he’s going to learn — to be able to do things on his own.’(‘你必须让他失败，’Christy告诉这家人。‘这是他学习的唯一途径——能够自己做事情。’)”和倒数第二段中“But she showed him how to get organized. And she coached him on how to deal with failures and difficulties, and how to break work down into small pieces so as not to feel too stressed.(但她教他如何组织起来。她还教他如何处理失败和困难，以及如何把工作分解成小块，以免感到压力太大)”可知，Christy让Andrew经历失败，并指导他获得独立，展现出他的智慧；根据第二段中“But she showed him how to get organized. And she coached him on how to deal with failures and difficulties, and how to break work down into small pieces so as not to feel too stressed.(但她教他如何组织起来。她还教他如何处理失败和困难，以及如何把工作分解成小块，以免感到压力太大)”可知，Christy能够给予帮助和支持。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段中“One step at a time, Andrew gained independence. He graduated from high school and entered community college.(一步步地，Andrew获得了独立。他高中毕业后进入了社区大学)”可知，文章主要讲述Andrew患有阿斯伯格综合征，八岁时妈妈给他找了护理员来照顾他，之后护理员Christy通过教Andrew如何独立，使Andrew的生活得到了改变。最终Andrew获得了成功。他高中毕业后进入社区大学。B项“在一个人的指导下获得独立”为最佳标题，故选B。 （24-25高一上·广东汕头·期末）Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the exams and mid terms. They each had an A．These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before finals week, despite the Chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the University of Virginia to party with some friends. They had a great time there. However, with their hangovers (宿醉) and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn’t have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus. Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, happily and relieved (宽慰的), studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet. He told them to begin. They looked at the first problem which was something simple about solution (溶解). It was worth 5 points. “Cool,” they thought, “this is going to be an easy final.” They then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on it. The question contained only two words: (95 points) Which tire? 1．Why did the two guys decide to go to the University of Virginia? A．Because there was a chemistry lesson. B．Because they were sure of themselves. C．Because the final would be held there. D．Because they were afraid of the final. 2．When did they take the final at last? A．On Saturday. B．On Monday.

Almost a month later, nearly four million people had viewed the blog and a global health movement was started. And Martha was told that she could no longer take her camera to school. Martha’s father said his daughter’s posts “shocked” him. “I know the menus meet government guidelines,” he said. Martha’s blog was never intended to attack the school meals. Her blog is called Neverseconds because she does not get second helpings of her school’s lunch offerings. It began as a fun writing project and to help raise money for a school-meals charity. It includes such positive words as ’lunch was really nice today and it helped cheer me up’. But it was Martha’s color photos of unattractive-looking dishes that caught the attention of students and parents around the world. “Cafe staff members were being accused of child abuse,” said a leader of the local government. However, when a newspaper called for them to be fired, officials felt Martha’s photos were misleading and they had to ban her camera. Within 24 hours of the ban, Neverseconds received more than a million page views. The Internet storm was quickly followed by an official U-turn. The government lifted the ban on the very day. A flood of donations have been brought to Mary’s Meals, a charity that feeds children in 16 countries. The $77,000 Martha has raised will build a canteen in an African country, where children will be served healthier food. 1．Why did so many people look through Martha’s blog? A．She photographed her school’s dishes and made comments on them. B．She showed great confidence in criticizing her school’s lunch. C．She could not concentrate on her lessons without lunch. D．She was banned from taking her camera to school. 2．What can we learn from Martha’s father’s words in paragraph 3? A．What Martha had done was just for fun. B．Martha didn’t like the school meals at all. C．The school’s menus failed to come up to standard. D．Martha’s real aim was to raise money for a school-meals charity. 3．What can we learn from the text?

Many who enthusiastically show off their counting skills in pre-school years later consider math class the most hated hour of the school day. The problem, according to a Stanford education professor, is a matter of mindset. Jo Boaler, professor of mathematics education at Stanford, has studied how students learn math, to identify why so many students end up hating or fearing math, and, too often, underachieve. In her new book, Mathematical Mindsets, Boaler describes how society has traditionally valued one type of math learner — one who can memorize well and calculate fast—— as opposed to others who have the same potential but may be deeper, slower. The“testing culture” in American schools is a major problem for math learners, Boaler said,noting that exams and tests are far more pervasive in math than other subjects. The combination of frequent testing, procedural teaching and uninteresting questions disconnected from students’lives causes many students to regard math as a“cold, lifeless subject” without a human connection. . The good news is that any student's negative perception of math can dramatically change,Boaler said. She works with Stanford psychology Professor Carol Dweck to deliver growth mindset interventions to teachers and students. A“growth mindset” is built around the idea that most basic abilities can be developed and expanded upon through dedication and hard work. By contrast, with a“fixed mindset,” people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits(特征). “When we open up mathematics and teach broad, visual, creative math, then we teach math as a learning subject instead of as a performance subject,” Boaler said, “The outcome is that the subject becomes deeper and filled with more connections, so students enjoy it more and achieve at higher levels.” Critics such as Marina Ratner, professor of mathematics at the University of California,express skepticism towards moving away from traditional methods. Math is math; there is no shortcut. They argue that without solid basic skills, students might struggle with subjects like alrohip(代数), let alone tackling any other higher-level STEM courses. 1．What problem is presented in the text? A．Students fear math due to abstract concepts. B．There is a lack of standardized tests in math. C．Math learners focus on advanced concepts too early. D．Traditional math teaching discourages many students. 2．What does the word “pervasive” most likely mean in the third paragraph? A．Occasional. B．Demanding. C．Widespread. D．Unreasonable. 3．Which pair best describes the contrast between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset? A．Dynamic methods vs. standard methods. B．Group learning vs. individual learning. C．Improvable abilities vs. inborn abilities. D．Long-term results vs. short-term results. 4．What is Marina Ratner’s attitude towards traditional methods of math teaching? A．Unclear. B．Supportive. C．Doubtful. D．Critical. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕许多学生厌恶或惧怕数学这一问题展开讨论。阐述了斯坦福大学教育教授 Jo Boaler 对该问题的研究，指出美国学校的 “测试文化” 等传统数学教学方式是导致学生厌恶数学的主因，还介绍了 “成长型思维” 对改变学生对数学看法的作用，最后提及 Marina Ratner 等批评者对摒弃传统教学方法的质疑。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“In her new book, Mathematical Mindsets, Boaler describes how society has traditionally valued one type of math learner — one who can memorize well and calculate fast—— as opposed to others who have the same potential but may be deeper, slower.(在她的新书《数学思维模式》中，博勒描述了社会传统上是如何看重一类数学学习者的 —— 这类学习者记忆力好、计算速度快 —— 而忽视了其他那些虽具有同样潜力，但思维更深入、节奏更慢的学习者)”以及根据第三段“The combination of frequent testing, procedural teaching and uninteresting questions disconnected from students’lives causes many students to regard math as a“cold, lifeless subject” without a human connection.(频繁的测试、程序化的教学以及与学生生活脱节的无趣问题，这些因素结合在一起，导致许多学生将数学视为一门“冰冷、毫无生气且缺乏人文联系”的学科)” 可知，传统的数学教学方式让很多学生对数学产生负面看法，从而失去兴趣。所以传统数学教学使许多学生失去信心。故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据第三段“The “testing culture” in American schools is a major problem for math learners, Boaler said, noting that exams and tests are far more pervasive in math than other subjects.(Boaler 说，美国学校的“测试文化”对数学学习者来说是一个主要问题，并指出考试在数学学科中比在其他学科中更为 pervasive)”，结合前文提到测试文化是大问题以及频繁测试可知，考试在数学学科中应是广泛存在的。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“A “growth mindset” is built around the idea that most basic abilities can be developed and expanded upon through dedication and hard work. By contrast, with a “fixed mindset,” people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits(特征).(“成长型思维”基于这样一种理念，即大多数基本能力可以通过专注和努力工作来发展和提升。相比之下，持“固定型思维”的人认为他们的基本特质，如智力或天赋，是固定不变的特征)” 可知，成长型思维认为能力可提升，固定型思维认为能力是天生不变的。选项 C“可提升的能力与天生的能力” 符合推断，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Critics such as Marina Ratner, professor of mathematics at the University of California, express skepticism towards moving away from traditional methods. Math is math; there is no shortcut.(像加州大学数学教授 Marina Ratner 这样的批评者，对摒弃传统方法表示怀疑。他们认为数学就是数学，没有捷径)” 可知，Marina Ratner 对传统数学教学方法持支持态度，不赞同轻易摒弃传统方法。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Welcome Unit 单元话题阅读理解练习 基础语篇巩固练 （23-24高一上·四川眉山·阶段练习）Fun things to do in high school Learn another language Your school might be holding foreign language classes, so this is a great way to start your language learning journey!

I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible. On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I thought he’d walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up, and then smiled. Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice, “Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just hang on.” He then smiled again and walked away. I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and care! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again. That was thirty years ago. And I’ve never forgotten that moment. Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them, sit with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy, or talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything. If you keep your head up, your heart will show you the place that needs hope. 1．How did the author feel when he was a freshman? A．Joyful. B．Desperate. C．Confident.

B．The author traveled to a lot of places to look for the young man but failed. C．It was the young man’s smile and words that made the author feel hopeful. D．The author had never been praised by others before he met the young man. （24-25高一上·广东清远·阶段练习）Applying to Kents Hill High School is easy. Use this checklist to ensure a complete application.

I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school. I miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here and there’s a lot to explore at senior high school. I feel much more confident than I felt that morning. My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing. First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones from maths, English, chemistry, world history, Chinese and so on. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced courses, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. 1．How did the author feel after the first morning of senior high school? A．Confident. B．Disappointed. C．Frightened. D．Anxious. 2．Which course did the school adviser recommend the author to take? A．Maths. B．Literature. C．Chinese. D．Chemistry. 3．What can we learn from paragraph 4?

D．The coach helped Adam practice playing football. 4．Which of the following words can describe Adam? A．Shallow. B．Negative. C．Positive.

He didn’t want her to tell him he could write his own term papers. Christy didn’t give way. Andrew’s outcry was like music to her ears. “Progress!” she continued to encourage him. When Andrew was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) at age eight, his mother, Cindy, was told to “get him on the list” for a caregiver to provide after-school care. However, in their city, the need for a caregiver was far higher than the supply. It was eight years before they were matched with Christy. In the beginning, Andrew’s family did their best to shelter him from life’s difficulties. “I worry about him,” Cindy said. Would he ever have a job and live independently? Cindy would do anything for her son. “You have to let him fail,” Christy told the family. “It’s the only way he’s going to learn — to be able to do things on his own.” No longer would Cindy write Andrew’s papers for him. Christy wouldn’t be helping him with homework, either. It was a little scary to step back. But everyone was on board, except Andrew. He complained (抱怨) loudly at times. But then things began to change. Christy wouldn’t do his papers for him. But she showed him how to get organized. And she coached him on how to deal with failures and difficulties, and how to break work down into small pieces so as not to feel too stressed. One step at a time, Andrew gained independence. He graduated from high school and entered community college. And he stopped trying to fire Christy. She’s been with him for six years now. This past summer, Andrew was a counselor (顾问) at a camp for kids with autism. Now, he’s studying to pass the driving test. Andrew says life has never been better. 1．Why did it take so long for Andrew’s family to match Christy? A．Andrew didn’t want to accept help. B．Andrew wasn’t on the list for a caregiver. C．His family tried to shelter him themselves. D．Caregivers were in great demand in their city. 2．How did Christy get Andrew improved? A．By finishing tasks for him. B．By planning his schedules. C．By providing instructions. D．By giving all-day care. 3．Which of the following best describes Christy according to the text? A．Considerate but overprotective. B．Confident but self-centered. C．Strict and adventurous. D．Wise and supportive. 4．Which would be the best title for the text? A．Caring for autistic children in the community. B．Gaining independence with a guiding hand. C．Family’s support in the growth path. D．Challenges of living with autism. （24-25高一上·广东汕头·期末）Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the exams and mid terms. They each had an A．These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before finals week, despite the Chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the University of Virginia to party with some friends. They had a great time there. However, with their hangovers (宿醉) and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn’t have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus. Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, happily and relieved (宽慰的), studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet. He told them to begin. They looked at the first problem which was something simple about solution (溶解). It was worth 5 points. “Cool,” they thought, “this is going to be an easy final.” They then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on it. The question contained only two words: (95 points) Which tire? 1．Why did the two guys decide to go to the University of Virginia? A．Because there was a chemistry lesson. B．Because they were sure of themselves. C．Because the final would be held there. D．Because they were afraid of the final. 2．When did they take the final at last? A．On Saturday. B．On Monday. C．On Sunday. D．On Tuesday. 3．What can we know from the passage? A．The two guys came back to campus late on purpose. B．Repairing the flat tire took the two guys lots of time. C．What Bonk taught was not difficult for students. D．Bonk didn’t believe the two guys’ explanation. 4．What lesson can we get from the passage? A．A bad thing never dies. B．Think twice before you do. C．He who is honest is wise. D．A great talker is a great liar. 重难语篇拔高练 （2025·山东临沂·三模）One day, Martha Payne, 9, reviewed her school lunch online, posting a picture of her meal. “I’m a growing kid and I need to concentrate all afternoon and I can’t do it on such food,” she wrote. Almost a month later, nearly four million people had viewed the blog and a global health movement was started. And Martha was told that she could no longer take her camera to school. Martha’s father said his daughter’s posts “shocked” him. “I know the menus meet government guidelines,” he said. Martha’s blog was never intended to attack the school meals. Her blog is called Neverseconds because she does not get second helpings of her school’s lunch offerings. It began as a fun writing project and to help raise money for a school-meals charity. It includes such positive words as ’lunch was really nice today and it helped cheer me up’. But it was Martha’s color photos of unattractive-looking dishes that caught the attention of students and parents around the world. “Cafe staff members were being accused of child abuse,” said a leader of the local government. However, when a newspaper called for them to be fired, officials felt Martha’s photos were misleading and they had to ban her camera. Within 24 hours of the ban, Neverseconds received more than a million page views. The Internet storm was quickly followed by an official U-turn. The government lifted the ban on the very day. A flood of donations have been brought to Mary’s Meals, a charity that feeds children in 16 countries. The $77,000 Martha has raised will build a canteen in an African country, where children will be served healthier food. 1．Why did so many people look through Martha’s blog? A．She photographed her school’s dishes and made comments on them. B．She showed great confidence in criticizing her school’s lunch. C．She could not concentrate on her lessons without lunch.
