课时作业 巩固提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2025·福建适应性练习)Every morning at 5 a.m.,when most people are asleep,a single figure would be busy in the kitchen,cooking meals for the needy folks of Singapore until the rest of the volunteers and the four full-time cooks arrive.Day in and day out,Mr. Tony Tay and his team prepare,cook,pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island.This team of caring volunteers from all walks of life work tirelessly to bring a smile to the less privileged,bringing warmth and kindness into their lives.
During one of his visits to collect vegetables and distribute them to a less-privileged neighbourhood,his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables.Upon being asked for the reason,one replied that she could not cook and thus only ate the rice delivered to her.Mrs. Tay then offered to cook for her,and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts,which has since served nearly 650,000 meals and counting.
Since the organisation’s early days,volunteers have learned how to cook,interact with people from all walks of life,pick up different languages,gain greater knowledge about social issues,and most importantly,build strong bonds with one another.Through Willing Hearts,Mr. Tay hopes to expose the younger generation to the country’s backyard,to allow them to see and experience first-hand what goes on behind closed doors.This is to encourage them to become more ______________individuals who understand the importance of taking care of the elderly,and be inspired to foster unity within their
compassionate
own families.His best gift during the course of this journey is seeing how younger volunteers help and feed the less privileged.One volunteer,he proudly tells us,has been inspired to start his own programme to help the needy.
As a non-profit organisation,Willing Hearts relies heavily on donations and food collections.Although the volunteers at Willing Hearts may be a small and irregular group,they are always on the lookout for the poor to extend their assistance to them.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。Tony Tay成立的Willing Hearts一直在为新加坡的穷人做饭送餐,他希望年轻的志愿者可以通过这个项目让自己变得更有同情心和爱心。

1.What best describes Mr. Tay’s job?( )
A.Professional. B.Demanding.
C.Well-paid. D.Urgent.
B
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Every morning at 5 a.m.,...Day in and day out,Mr. Tony Tay and his team prepare,cook,pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island...work tirelessly”可知,这份工作需要日复一日,从早上5点开始不知疲倦地工作。由此可知,这份工作费力费时,故B项正确。professional“职业的,专业的”;demanding“费力的”;well-paid“薪水高的”;urgent“紧急的,紧迫的,迫切的”。

2.What inspires Mr. Tay to found Willing Hearts?( )
A.Visits to the neighbourhood.
B.Smiles from the less privileged.
C.Encouragement from his wife.
D.The answer from an old lady.
D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“During one of his visits to collect vegetables...Mrs. Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts”可知,Mr. Tay和妻子有一次去一个街区去给老人送菜,妻子发现老人不拿蔬菜,其中一位老人说她不会做饭,只能吃送来的米饭,于是,妻子主动为她做饭。这也最终促成了Willing Hearts的成立,故D项正确。

3.What does the underlined word “compassionate” in paragraph 3 mean?( )
A.Qualified. B.Sympathetic.
C.Wealthy. D.Dynamic.
B
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“understand the importance of taking care of the elderly,and be inspired to foster unity within their own families”可知,Mr. Tay希望这些年轻人能够理解照顾老年人的重要性,并能够受到启发在自己家庭内部搞好团结。因此,Mr. Tay让他们“see and experience first-hand what goes on behind closed doors”的目的是希望他们成长为更有同情心的人,故画线词的意义与B项最为接近。qualified“有资格的”;sympathetic“同情的,有同情心的”;dynamic“充满活力的,精力充沛的”。compassionate“有同情心的,表示怜悯的”。

A.To pick up different languages.
B.To enhance unity within society.
C.To encourage the youth to assist the needy.
D.To strengthen solid relationships with people.
C
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Through Willing Hearts,Mr. Tay hopes...seeing how younger volunteers help and feed the less privileged.”可知,Willing Hearts的目的是鼓励年轻志愿者去帮助和照顾需要帮助的人,故C项正确。

(2024·河南郑州第二次质检)It was a cold May morning when I received an email from an old friend inviting me to join in a 10-day all-girls surf trip.I knew I had to say yes.The trip seemed simple enough.10 women aged 30 to 45, all complete strangers, were to meet on the coast of Portugal to try something new: surfing in the Atlantic Ocean.I have always loved traveling, so I eagerly sent an email to my boss asking for time off to make the trip.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over my past 33 years, it’s that adults typically spend their days mastering the things they’ve done before.It seems like we pride ourselves on becoming experts in whatever field we’ve fallen into, knowing more about less.Now, in theory, this is a great strategy, as it allows you to become really good at one particular thing, but it also kind of ends up leaving some skills lacking.
I met my new surfing companions on the grass of the hotel lawn in a small surf town called Ericeira.Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a strong desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow.
The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks.They make for softer waves but are difficult to ride.
Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves.Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there.And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air.Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humility (谦虚) that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on.While surfing might not be my lifelong passion, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life.You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.

How to Create Good Habits
Have you ever made a promise to yourself that you didn’t keep? Commonly,when the new year ticks over,we make resolutions:going to the gym,studying harder or giving up a bad habit.1( ) But what if you want to create a new good habit? Well,it’s possible,but willpower might not be the only thing you need.
A.Eat something you like.
B.Learn something new every day.
C.You should also avoid trying to change too much at once.
D.Sadly,not long after we’ve made promises,we often end up breaking them.
E.An example of this would be having breakfast or saying “please” and “thank you”.
F.Is it of great importance for people to form a good habit of keeping a balanced diet?
G.Do you want to lose weight because you want to be healthier or feel more attractive?
1.答案:D
解析:空前提到在新年开始的时候我们通常会下决心:要去健身房,更努力学习或者放弃一个坏习惯。空后讲如果你想培养一个好习惯还是有可能的,劝我们不要放弃。空处应与上文为转折关系,承上启下,故D项“令人难过的是,在我们做出承诺后不久,我们经常以违背它们而告终”符合语境。
The basic idea of a habit is something we do almost unconsciously,as if you’re on autopilot.2( ) Good habits can be part of your daily routine.But if we don’t have those habits,how can we create them? According to a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology,it takes an average of 66 days to form a new habit.However,relying only on determination may not be the answer.
A.Eat something you like.
B.Learn something new every day.
C.You should also avoid trying to change too much at once.
D.Sadly,not long after we’ve made promises,we often end up breaking them.
E.An example of this would be having breakfast or saying “please” and “thank you”.
F.Is it of great importance for people to form a good habit of keeping a balanced diet?
G.Do you want to lose weight because you want to be healthier or feel more attractive?
2.答案:E
解析:空前讲有些习惯是我们无意识地做某事,所以此处应是对“something we do almost unconsciously”的举例说明。E项“其中一个例子就是吃早饭或说’请’和’谢谢’”承接上文,符合语境。
Questioning why you want something to be the norm (常态) rather than relying on your resolve (决心) could be the key.3( ) The issue is,willpower could be subject to your mood—a bad mood may mean you don’t want to do something.
A.Eat something you like.
B.Learn something new every day.
C.You should also avoid trying to change too much at once.
D.Sadly,not long after we’ve made promises,we often end up breaking them.
E.An example of this would be having breakfast or saying “please” and “thank you”.
F.Is it of great importance for people to form a good habit of keeping a balanced diet?
G.Do you want to lose weight because you want to be healthier or feel more attractive?
3.答案:G
解析:空前讲要问你自己为什么想要让某件事情成为常态,而不是依赖决心是很重要的。空后讲问题是意志力会受到情绪的影响,糟糕的情绪意味着你不想做某事。下文是对问题的解释。故G项“你想减肥是因为你想健康还是想更有吸引力呢”符合上下文语境。
4( ) Giving up all your favourite foods,going to the gym,and stopping drinking at the same time will probably result in failure rather than sustainable practice.And don’t worry about failing—just start again!
4.答案:C
解析:本空位于段首,应是这一段的主旨句。空后提到“放弃所有你最喜欢的食物,去健身房,同时戒酒的做法很可能会导致失败而不是持续的实践”,这些做法都是一下子改变太多。故C项“你也应该避免试图一下子改变太多”符合语境。
Finally,don’t do things outside your comfort zone.If you hate mushrooms,don’t persevere and try to add them to your diet just to be healthier.5( )
It might not be quick,but if you follow these tips,you may be able to change something for the better or kick a bad habit.
A.Eat something you like.
B.Learn something new every day.
C.You should also avoid trying to change too much at once.
D.Sadly,not long after we’ve made promises,we often end up breaking them.
E.An example of this would be having breakfast or saying “please” and “thank you”.
F.Is it of great importance for people to form a good habit of keeping a balanced diet?
G.Do you want to lose weight because you want to be healthier or feel more attractive?
5.答案:A
解析:上文提到“不要做超出你舒适区的事情。如果你讨厌蘑菇,不用坚持,不用为了更健康而把它们添加到你的饮食当中”,故A项“吃你喜欢吃的”对上文进行小结,符合语境。
