He’s odd. 第二问：Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? 题型判断：细节理解题 破解思路： 此题询问事件的原因，需要找到文中解释其行为动机的句子。定位到第二段：“He tried acupuncture... and was amazed that he improved... What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients.”（他尝试了针灸……并惊讶地发现自己的情况好转了……在一个兽医身上奏效的方法，似乎也很可能对他的病患（动物）奏效。）这说明他是基于自己作为病人的亲身受益经历。 答案：C.

The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 第四问：Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? 题型判断：推理判断题 破解思路： 此题询问作者引用某个细节的目的或深层含义，需要结合上下文进行推理。该细节出现在最后一段。Farber声称整体疗法会越来越流行(“the holistic approach will grow more popular with time”)，紧接着作者就提供了协会会员人数激增（从30人到700多人）这一事实。作者提到这个协会，显然是为了用具体数据来支持（prove） Farber的预言和观点，证明这种趋势确实存在。 答案：A. To prove Farber’s point. 概要总结 速读抓梗概：快速浏览，抓住“人、时、地、事”四要素，理解故事脉络。 审题定方向：明确题型（主旨、细节、推理、词义），避免答非所问。 定位找答案：返回原文精准定位（如细节题找开头，主旨题看结尾）。 对比析选项：排除干扰项（如片面细节、偷换概念），选择最贴合原文的答案。 复核保准确：代入答案通读检查，确保逻辑通畅。 技能升华训练 （一） In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change. As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. 1．Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1? A．Ninth graders. B．Students’ parents. C．Modern writers. D．Fictional characters. 2．Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay? A．They were not given enough time. B．They had a very limited vocabulary. C．They misunderstood the question. D．They had little interest in the topic. 3．What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Mixed. B．Amazing. C．Similar. D．Disturbing. 4．What does the author’s experience show? A．Teaching is learning. B．Still waters run deep. C．Knowledge is power. D．Practice makes perfect. （二） Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.” “Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.” There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.” Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.” 5．Who does Ho teach at LPCH? A．Sick children. B．Young nurses. C．Medical students. D．Patients’ parents. 6．What is a characteristic of Ho’s job? A．Prioritizing academics. B．Encouraging innovation. C．Treating various diseases. D．Playing multiple roles. 7．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4? A．Offering regular lessons. B．Paying extra attention. C．Assigning no schoolwork. D．Showing no sympathy. 8．How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good? A．It eases peer pressure. B．It helps them live in hope. C．It frees them from aches. D．It entertains them with stories. （三） Contemporary artist Nick Smith creates pixelated (像素化的) works with hand placed colour-chips, synonymous with colour swatches (色块), cleverly combining text and image to create interesting and fascinating collaged (拼贴的) works. With a previous career in Interior Design spanning 11 years, Nick references his concept design background throughout his work, reworking the design aesthetic using unique colour swatches in hand-made collages, placing his work firmly in the fine art category. From his first collage experiment back in 2011 of Warhol’s ‘Marilyn’, when he assembled a tessellation (镶嵌技术) of swatches as a challenge, this eventually inspired his career as an artist and determined his unique style he is now known for. The multi-layered element of his work, which marries image and word, allows Nick to explore complex art-historical concepts. The text employed is often narrative, which can be read in sequence adding another element of intrigue and interest to the work. This additional element of text, placed under the empty space of each swatch, creates either complimentary or subversive meanings. Nick deliberately leaves these word/image constructions open to viewer interpretation, sparking new debates and meanings. Each P-series, such as Psycolourgy 2015, Purgatory 2019, explores complicatedly researched concepts, which are always the crucial starting point for each new series of work. Producing large-scale works to micro-chip collages, and multiple sell out print editions, Nick continues to develop his popular and recognisable art. PSYCOLOURGY — January 2015 Lawrence Alkin Gallery, London Smith’s debut solo exhibition with Lawrence Alkin Gallery in Soho, London, launched his unique visual reworking of classic paintings from the 20th Century canon. Universally known works, including David Hockney’s ‘The Bigger Splash’, Andy Warhol’s ‘Soup Cans’ and Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’ were all recast, creating original collages that enquire ideas of depiction, digitalisation and recognition. A sell out show, with numerous successful subsequent print releases, Psycolourgy forged Smith’s path to a place among Britain’s notable contemporary artists. PURGATORY — December 2019 Context, Art Miami Purgatory is a shiny, sticky, glossy exploration of our societies attitude and approach to our excess, addictions and desires. Excerpts from Dante’s Purgatory are woven through colourful works depicting popular covetable consumables, creating symbolic representations of the seven sins. Dante explores possible penance (忏悔) for our earthly suffering leading to spiritual growth.The results of these pairings offer a humorous, nostalgic and subversive opportunity to question our choices, our history and our future. 9．What made Nick launch his art career? A．His deep love of fascinating collaged works. B．His first collage work Warhol’s ‘Marilyn’. C．The challenge of piecing a tessellation of swatches. D．The collage experiment dating back to 2012. 10．Which of the following statements about the text Nick uses is true? A．His text contains concepts of art. B．His text is usually illustrative. C．His text can be read sequentially. D．His text elements are very simple. 11．What do we know about PSYCOLOURGY? A．It opened Smith’s unique visual reinvention of classic 21st-century paintings. B．David Hockney’s ‘Mona Lisa’ has been recreated by Lawrence Alkin Gallery. C．The original collages affirm the ideas of depiction, digitisation and recognition. D．It opened Smith’s path to becoming one of Britain’s leading contemporary artists. 12．What is the topic of this passage? A．Some useful ways to create collaged works. B．The life of contemporary artist Nick Smith. C．Information about Psycolourgy and Purgatory. D．The introduction to Nick Smith’s works. （四） When industrial engineer Abel Cruz was a boy, his weekly work was to struggle through a rocky valley in the foothills of the Peruvian Andes to fetch the family’s water from a spring. “It was downhill from the house, far away and rough,” he recalls. This challenging task left a lasting impression on Cruz, who began dreaming up innovative ways to collect water more efficiently. He observed that special plants have evolved to capture rain and mist with their broad and wide leaves. This observation sparked the inspiration for a revolutionary idea: a fog net. Over the years, Cruz has improved this concept and eventually shared it with communities around the world. The fog net consists of vertical sections, each covering an area of about 215 square feet. As fog comes from the Pacific Ocean, micro drops of water concentrate on the net and then drip down into collection tanks below. Remarkably, a single net can gather between 50 and 100 gallons of water per day In joint efforts with the Creating Water Foundation, Cruz has fixed over 3,600 of these nets on the bare hillsides surrounding Lima, Peru. This initiative has been crucial in providing a sustainable water source for the city, which is home to more than 9 million residents. Lima experiences minimal rainfall and struggles with frequent water shortages, making Cruz’s work more critical. “The planet has less and less fresh water,” Cruz emphasizes, highlighting the importance of his work. “Glaciers, which act as natural resources, are disappearing, so we must find innovative ways to accumulate and save water for periods of drought.” His efforts not only change lives but also emphasize the urgent need for sustainable solutions in a world facing increasing water shortage. 13．Why is Cruz’s childhood experience of fetching water mentioned? A．To show what a tough boy Cruz was. B．To explain his motivation for innovation. C．To recall his terrible sufferings in the past. D．To prove how short water was in his hometown. 14．What function does Cruz’s innovation serve? A．To collect tiny drops of water. B．To capture rain and mist. C．To draw fog from the Pacific. D．To occupy the bare hillsides. 15．Where have Cruz and the Creating Water Foundation installed the fog nets? A．On glaciers near the Pacific Ocean. B．Inside collection tanks in residential areas. C．On bare hillsides surrounding Lima. D．In the rocky valleys of the Peruvian Andes. 16．What may Cruz’s efforts lead to? A．Guaranteeing crop harvests in Peru. B．Promoting the recycling of water resources. C．Ending poverty by improving traditional farming. D．Improving the life quality for people in water-stressed areas. （五） Echoes of a 1997 Harbour Night: A Farewell in Shadowed Times The Victoria Harbour glittered below, its familiar sparkle now a disquieting reminder of all Stanley Cheng was leaving behind. Seated at the rooftop restaurant, the savoury aroma of dai pai dong delicacies mingled oddly with the scent of his leather suitcase. Tomorrow, he would board a flight not for adventure, but for necessity — San Francisco. The imminent handover loomed like a storm cloud, forcing choices that tasted of unspoken compromise. Mei Ling, his confidante since their Kowloon childhood days, raised her teacup. Her smile, usually radiant, seemed strained at the edges. “To your journey, Stanley,” she offered, her voice thick with unvoiced sorrow. “May the Golden Gate shine half as brightly as our harbour tonight.” Stanley clung to her words, a knot of emotions tightening in his throat. Their shared history — surviving typhoons, cramming for exams under flickering neon, dreaming amidst the relentless energy of Nathan Road — felt poignantly fragile now. “Remember Wong Tai Sin last Mid-Autumn?” Mei Ling’s question hung in the air. “We released those lanterns, believing their flight mirrored our futures... boundless.” Stanley nodded, draining his jasmine tea to hide the involuntary tremor in his hand. The optimism of youth felt like a distant echo. “Fate plays discordant tunes, Mei,” he murmured, his gaze fixed on the ferries crisscrossing the dark water. “Leaving feels less like soaring, more like... uprooting.” Later, under the waning crescent moon, Mei Ling’s voice rose in a familiar melody — an old Cantopop ballad about fleeting time and unwavering bonds. Stanley listened, transfixed. Each note carved itself into his memory — the raucous city hum beneath them, the fragile warmth of shared presence, the profound ache of impending separation. This wasn’t mere farewell; it was the dismantling of a world. Why This Night Held the Weight of a Thousand Tomorrows As the final note faded, Mei Ling turned, her eyes reflecting the harbour lights. “Stanley,” she began, her voice laced with quiet intensity, “Time will pass. You’ll hear countless symphonies in concert halls across the ocean. You’ll witness sunsets gilding the Pacific, constellations unknown gracing foreign skies.” She paused, her next words deliberate, heavy. “Yet, I venture to say, no grandeur out there, no matter how dazzling, will eclipse the luminosity of this very hour. For this light,” she gestured around them, “isn’t cast by the moon alone, but by the shared history illuminating our goodbye.” Stanley felt the sting of profound truth. Future marvels would be admired, perhaps enjoyed, but always viewed through the lens of absence. This moment, steeped in shared sacrifice and tinged with regret, held an irreplaceable resonance. Its beauty was inextricably bound to its pain, magnified by the uncertainty of return. A Fragile Pact Against the Tide of Change Descending the Peak Tram for the last time, Mei Ling pressed a worn cassette into Stanley’s palm — recordings of Hong Kong’s soundscape. “When the fog clings stubbornly to those San Francisco hills,” she whispered, her composure finally fraying, “or when the sheer alienness of it all threatens to engulf you... play this. Let the rain sound like our monsoon, the cable car bell like our trams. Summon this night. Remember who we were here.” Stanley vowed solemnly, a lump rendering his voice hoarse. The path ahead promised isolation. When, or if, the stars would align for a reunion remained shrouded in the mists of tomorrow. It was this gnawing ambiguity that lent their final evening its excruciating preciousness. Standing alone later on his hotel balcony, the harbour’s dwindling lights mirroring his receding home, Mei Ling’s conviction resounded within him. No future splendour could wash away the imprint of this farewell — the bittersweet symphony of belonging, loss, and the unyielding spirit of a home carried within. Its perfection lay not in joy, but in the depth of feeling shared under a shared sky, one final time. Home, he realised, was not a place, but a moment — this moment — suspended precariously between a cherished past and an uncharted future. 17．When Mei Ling compares the Golden Gate Bridge to “our harbour tonight,” why does this comparison make the pain stronger? A．She is saying more than she means. B．She uses a part to represent the whole. C．She uses an exaggerated irony. D．She gives an object a human feeling. 18．The cassette’s hidden weight lies in its power to_________. A．compress an entire city’s soundscape into exile’s pocket B．predict the weather in San Francisco C．erase the need for photographs D．replace Cantonese tones with English vowels 19．In calling leaving “uprooting,” Stanley reveals the core conflict between _________. A．personal ambition and filial duty B．fixed place and floating identity C．romance and career D．memory and imagination 20．The waning crescent moon over the harbour silently measures__________. A．the shrinking time before reunion B．the fading light of a collective era C．the exact hour of departure D．the waxing hope of return （六） Lila had always dreamed of being a ballet dancer. Since she was six years old, she spent every afternoon practicing pirouettes (旋转) and arabesques (阿拉贝斯舞姿) in her backyard. Her mother, a former dancer, would watch and correct her movements gently. “You have a gift, Lila,” she often said. “Never give up on it.” But at the age of 14, a disaster struck. Lila fell during a practice session and broke her ankle. The doctor told her she might never dance again. Heartbroken, Lila threw away her ballet shoes and stopped attending her dance classes. She spent her days in her room, reading books and avoiding her friends. Her mother tried to encourage her, but Lila refused to talk about dancing. Two years later, Lila’s school announced a talent show. Her best friend, Mia, begged her to participate. “You don’t have to dance,” Mia said. “You could sing or play the piano.” But Lila shook her head. She had lost interest in everything related to performing. One afternoon, while cleaning out the attic, Lila found an old box of her mother’s dance videos. Curious, she put one in the DVD player. There was her mother, young and graceful, performing on a big stage. Lila watched, tears streaming down her face. She remembered how happy dancing used to make her. The next day, Lila went to see her former dance teacher, Ms. Sandra. “I want to try again,” she said nervously. Ms. Sandra smiled. “I’ve been waiting for you to say that. Your ankle has healed, but we’ll take it slow.” For months, Lila practiced for hours every day. It was painful at first, and she fell many times. But she refused to quit. Mia came to every practice, cheering her on. Her mother helped her stretch and massaged her ankle after each session. On the day of the talent show, Lila stood backstage, her hands shaking. When her name was called, she took a deep breath and walked onto the stage. The music started, and she began to dance. At first, she felt nervous, but as she moved, all her fears disappeared. She danced with all her heart, just like she used to. When the music stopped, the audience erupted in applause. Lila bowed, tears of joy in her eyes. Her mother and Mia were standing at the front, clapping and smiling proudly. After the show, Ms. Sandra hugged her. “You didn’t just dance tonight, Lila. You showed everyone what courage looks like.” Lila knew then that some dreams are worth fighting for, no matter how many times life knocks you down. 21．Why did Lila stop dancing at 14?

D．Lila encouraged other students to join dance classes. （七） UPS driver RYAN ARENS was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard an unearthly sound. “Like a cry for help,” he told thedodo.com, a website for animal lovers. It was December 2018, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry — a half-submerged brown-and-white wirehaired hound, struggling to cling to a thin layer of ice. How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking away at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog. It was slow going, and Arens, 44, thought he stood a better chance. “Animals are my weakness,” he told the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he stripped down to his boxers and socks, even though the temperature was in the 30s, and commandeered the rowboat. His heart thumping, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave one strong heave too many and slipped off the boat, crashing into 16 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner, a retired veterinarian. Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both defrosted. A few more minutes in the pond, the vet told Arens, and she would have likely suffered cardiac arrest. The next day, Arens was back working the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie. “Would you like to meet her?” he asked. He opened the door to his pickup, and Sadie bolted out. She made a beeline for Arens, leaping on him and bathing him in wet kisses. That special delivery, says Arens, “was the highlight of my UPS career.” 25．How did the elderly man try to save the dog at first? A．He swam to the dog directly. B．He called Ryan Arens for help.

D．A UPS driver risked his life to save a drowning dog in a frozen pond. （八） When I arrived in Hefei, I was greeted by a familial curiosity that comes with my mixed background: Brazilian born with a mother who carries the rich traditions of Luxembourg and Germany, and a father with values rooted in the cultures of Italy and Portugal, making me a natural global citizen who respects and explores diverse cultures. This city, where ancient traditions meet modern inventions, absorbs me, mirroring my inner thirst for balance. Since my childhood, China has stimulated my imagination. My father told bedtime stories of Marco Polo’s Asian adventures, especially in China, and these stories excited my curiosity, making me eager to explore this ancient and mysterious (神秘的) land with a history of over 5,000 years. I chose Hefei for its rich history and welcoming nature, which remind me of my parents’ stories. It feels like home, a piece in the global cultural puzzle (拼图游戏).

This simple, sincere friendliness has made me feel incredibly connected to this place. Now, as a teacher in Hefei, I share my passion for learning with students from 33 different countries. It’s magical to be both a teacher and a lifelong student in China. Every day, I learn from the wisdom of ancient traditions or the fresh outlooks of my students. The Chinese’s eagerness to learn and respect for knowledge inspire me. Most importantly, living here has allowed me to accept my identity as a global citizen fully. I feel connected to the world through shared human experiences beyond borders, and each interaction is an opportunity to enrich my life’s story.

He benefited from it as a patient. 第三问：What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? 题型判断：主旨大意题 破解思路： 此题要求概括整个段落的中心思想。第三段列举了两个具体案例：Leigh Tindale的狗Charlie和Priscilla Dewing的马Nappy，在接受了Farber的整体疗法（针灸、按摩疗法）后，病情或状态都得到了显著改善。这些例子都是为了支撑一个核心观点：整体疗法是有效的。 答案：D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 第四问：Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? 题型判断：推理判断题 破解思路： 此题询问作者引用某个细节的目的或深层含义，需要结合上下文进行推理。该细节出现在最后一段。Farber声称整体疗法会越来越流行(“the holistic approach will grow more popular with time”)，紧接着作者就提供了协会会员人数激增（从30人到700多人）这一事实。作者提到这个协会，显然是为了用具体数据来支持（prove） Farber的预言和观点，证明这种趋势确实存在。 答案：A. To prove Farber’s point. 概要总结 速读抓梗概：快速浏览，抓住“人、时、地、事”四要素，理解故事脉络。 审题定方向：明确题型（主旨、细节、推理、词义），避免答非所问。 定位找答案：返回原文精准定位（如细节题找开头，主旨题看结尾）。 对比析选项：排除干扰项（如片面细节、偷换概念），选择最贴合原文的答案。 复核保准确：代入答案通读检查，确保逻辑通畅。 技能升华训练 （一） In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change. As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. 1．Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1? A．Ninth graders. B．Students’ parents. C．Modern writers. D．Fictional characters. 2．Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay? A．They were not given enough time. B．They had a very limited vocabulary. C．They misunderstood the question. D．They had little interest in the topic. 3．What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Mixed. B．Amazing. C．Similar. D．Disturbing. 4．What does the author’s experience show? A．Teaching is learning. B．Still waters run deep. C．Knowledge is power. D．Practice makes perfect. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师，通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. (去年，在我九年级的写作课上，我结识了一位拯救了自己小镇的牛仔、一位要求儿子门门功课全得A的严厉父亲，还有一位现代版的朱丽叶——她在父母拒绝其年少挚爱后心碎而逝。不止一次，我暗自琢磨，这些塑造了这些人物的学生，究竟是如何如此深谙他们笔下的角色的)”可知，这里提到的牛仔、严厉的父亲和现代版的朱丽叶都是学生在写作中创造出来的虚构人物。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. (大多数文章篇幅不足一页，几乎没有包含可被视为论点的句子。我感到震惊。随后我意识到问题出在题目本身。他们本可以就电脑的必要性写下数页内容，但写作本身根本没让他们觉得重要)”可推知，学生们在写第一篇作文时表现不佳，是因为他们对写作这个话题本身不感兴趣。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中划线词下文“The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. (学生们选取了多样的主题，交上来的故事每篇都有10到20页长，其中的人物拓宽了我的视野，也触动了我的心)”可推知，此处指学生们写出了内容丰富、打动人心的故事，与之前的表现形成强烈对比。划线词“staggering”意为“令人惊叹的、惊人的”，与B选项“Amazing (惊人的)”语义一致。故选B。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，再根据文章最后一段中“I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. (我走进教室时坚信写作作为一种交流方式至关重要。然而，学生们向我展示了更为重要的东西。当六月的下课铃响起时，我带着一本满是留言的年鉴离开——这些留言诉说着写作最强大的意义：它能连接人与人，让我们换位思考，教会我们身为人类的真谛)”结合全文内容可知，文章通过作者的教学经历，说明她在教导学生的同时，自己也领悟到写作的真正意义，这一过程体现了“教学相长”的理念。选项A“Teaching is learning (教学相长)”符合文中描述的作者通过教学获得的新认识。故选A。 （二） Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.” “Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.” There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.” Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.” 5．Who does Ho teach at LPCH? A．Sick children. B．Young nurses. C．Medical students. D．Patients’ parents. 6．What is a characteristic of Ho’s job? A．Prioritizing academics. B．Encouraging innovation. C．Treating various diseases. D．Playing multiple roles. 7．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4? A．Offering regular lessons. B．Paying extra attention. C．Assigning no schoolwork. D．Showing no sympathy. 8．How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good? A．It eases peer pressure. B．It helps them live in hope. C．It frees them from aches. D．It entertains them with stories. 【答案】5．A 6．D 7．C 8．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Kathy Ho在斯坦福露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院（LPCH）担任教师的工作情况，介绍了医院学校学生的情况、她工作的特点以及医院学校对学生的益处。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中““Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. (“这里”指的是386 室，每年约有500名露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院（LPCH）的患者在这里成为学生。这所医院学校里没有家长、医生，也没有医疗程序。它是一个学习的地方。Ho老师的学生中，约有一半只待一周或更短时间，其他人则会待一年以上。大多数学生最终会康复，这意味着，帮助他们做好重返学校的准备正成为护理工作中日益重要的组成部分)” 可知，Ho在露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院（LPCH）教生病的孩子。故选A。 6．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher. (我是一名教练、一名顾问和一名安慰者，这就是作为一名医院教师的意义)”可知，Ho工作的一个特点是扮演多种角色。故选D。 7．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词所在句“Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. (一些老师不给孩子们布置任何作业，而是表达同情。Ho说：“我觉得这对孩子们是一种伤害”)” 可推知，其中的“it”指的是不给孩子们布置作业这件事。故选C。 8．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Julie Good所说的“It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow. (这关乎围绕 “何为充实人生” 展开的问题解决。那些孩子拥有梦想，而学校能通过为他们提供学习与成长的途径，让这些梦想得以延续)”可推知，Good认为医院学校通过让孩子保持学习和成长，帮助他们维系梦想，即帮助他们生活在希望中。故选B。 （三） Contemporary artist Nick Smith creates pixelated (像素化的) works with hand placed colour-chips, synonymous with colour swatches (色块), cleverly combining text and image to create interesting and fascinating collaged (拼贴的) works. With a previous career in Interior Design spanning 11 years, Nick references his concept design background throughout his work, reworking the design aesthetic using unique colour swatches in hand-made collages, placing his work firmly in the fine art category. From his first collage experiment back in 2011 of Warhol’s ‘Marilyn’, when he assembled a tessellation (镶嵌技术) of swatches as a challenge, this eventually inspired his career as an artist and determined his unique style he is now known for. The multi-layered element of his work, which marries image and word, allows Nick to explore complex art-historical concepts. The text employed is often narrative, which can be read in sequence adding another element of intrigue and interest to the work. This additional element of text, placed under the empty space of each swatch, creates either complimentary or subversive meanings. Nick deliberately leaves these word/image constructions open to viewer interpretation, sparking new debates and meanings. Each P-series, such as Psycolourgy 2015, Purgatory 2019, explores complicatedly researched concepts, which are always the crucial starting point for each new series of work. Producing large-scale works to micro-chip collages, and multiple sell out print editions, Nick continues to develop his popular and recognisable art. PSYCOLOURGY — January 2015 Lawrence Alkin Gallery, London Smith’s debut solo exhibition with Lawrence Alkin Gallery in Soho, London, launched his unique visual reworking of classic paintings from the 20th Century canon. Universally known works, including David Hockney’s ‘The Bigger Splash’, Andy Warhol’s ‘Soup Cans’ and Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’ were all recast, creating original collages that enquire ideas of depiction, digitalisation and recognition. A sell out show, with numerous successful subsequent print releases, Psycolourgy forged Smith’s path to a place among Britain’s notable contemporary artists. PURGATORY — December 2019 Context, Art Miami Purgatory is a shiny, sticky, glossy exploration of our societies attitude and approach to our excess, addictions and desires. Excerpts from Dante’s Purgatory are woven through colourful works depicting popular covetable consumables, creating symbolic representations of the seven sins. Dante explores possible penance (忏悔) for our earthly suffering leading to spiritual growth.The results of these pairings offer a humorous, nostalgic and subversive opportunity to question our choices, our history and our future. 9．What made Nick launch his art career? A．His deep love of fascinating collaged works. B．His first collage work Warhol’s ‘Marilyn’. C．The challenge of piecing a tessellation of swatches. D．The collage experiment dating back to 2012. 10．Which of the following statements about the text Nick uses is true? A．His text contains concepts of art. B．His text is usually illustrative. C．His text can be read sequentially. D．His text elements are very simple. 11．What do we know about PSYCOLOURGY? A．It opened Smith’s unique visual reinvention of classic 21st-century paintings. B．David Hockney’s ‘Mona Lisa’ has been recreated by Lawrence Alkin Gallery. C．The original collages affirm the ideas of depiction, digitisation and recognition. D．It opened Smith’s path to becoming one of Britain’s leading contemporary artists. 12．What is the topic of this passage? A．Some useful ways to create collaged works. B．The life of contemporary artist Nick Smith. C．Information about Psycolourgy and Purgatory. D．The introduction to Nick Smith’s works. 【答案】9．C 10．C 11．D 12．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了当代艺术家Nick Smith的创作风格和作品。 9．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“From his first collage experiment back in 2011 of Warhol’s ‘Marilyn’.when he assembled a tessellation of swatches as a challenge, this eventually inspired his career as an artist and determined his unique style he is now known for. (这是他在2011年第一次拼贴沃霍尔的作品《玛丽莲》。当他将色板镶嵌起来作为一项挑战时，这最终激发了他作为艺术家的职业生涯，并确定了他现在闻名的独特风格。)”可知，Nick 在2011年在沃霍尔的作品《玛丽莲》中进行了第一次拼贴实验，所以这并非是他对拼贴作品的热爱，而在这次拼贴实验中，他将色板镶嵌在一起作为挑战。故选C。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段的“The text employed is often narrative, which can be read in sequence adding another element of intrigue and interest to the work.(Nick Smith使用的文本通常是叙事性的，可以按顺序阅读，为作品添加另一个神秘和兴趣的元素。)”可知，Nick的作品文本时叙述性的，他的文本可以按顺序读。故选C。 11．细节理解题。根据第五段“A sell out show, with numerous successful subsequent print releases, Psycolourgy forged Smith’s path to a place among Britain’s notable contemporary artists.(一场售罄的展览，以及随后出版的血多成功的印刷版《心理学》，使得史密斯跻身英国著名当代艺术家之列。)”可知，《心理学》为史密斯开辟了通往英国著名当代艺术家之路。故选D。 12．主旨大意题。通读全文可知, 尤其是首段“Contemporary artist Nick Smith creates pixelated (像素化的) works with hand placed colour-chips, synonymous with colour swatches (色块), cleverly combining text and image to create interesting and fascinating collaged (拼贴的) works.(当代艺术家Nick Smith使用手工放置的色块创作像素化作品，这些色块与色彩样本同义，巧妙地将文字与图像结合，打造出有趣且迷人的拼贴作品。)”可知，首段介绍了当代艺术家Nick Smith将文字和图像结合起来，创作出有趣和发人深省的拼贴作品，接下来主要介绍了他的作品的设计理念，最后描述了他的两个系列作品：Psychology和Purgatory，所以文章主题是介绍Nick Smith的作品。故选D。 （四） When industrial engineer Abel Cruz was a boy, his weekly work was to struggle through a rocky valley in the foothills of the Peruvian Andes to fetch the family’s water from a spring. “It was downhill from the house, far away and rough,” he recalls. This challenging task left a lasting impression on Cruz, who began dreaming up innovative ways to collect water more efficiently. He observed that special plants have evolved to capture rain and mist with their broad and wide leaves. This observation sparked the inspiration for a revolutionary idea: a fog net. Over the years, Cruz has improved this concept and eventually shared it with communities around the world. The fog net consists of vertical sections, each covering an area of about 215 square feet. As fog comes from the Pacific Ocean, micro drops of water concentrate on the net and then drip down into collection tanks below. Remarkably, a single net can gather between 50 and 100 gallons of water per day In joint efforts with the Creating Water Foundation, Cruz has fixed over 3,600 of these nets on the bare hillsides surrounding Lima, Peru. This initiative has been crucial in providing a sustainable water source for the city, which is home to more than 9 million residents. Lima experiences minimal rainfall and struggles with frequent water shortages, making Cruz’s work more critical. “The planet has less and less fresh water,” Cruz emphasizes, highlighting the importance of his work. “Glaciers, which act as natural resources, are disappearing, so we must find innovative ways to accumulate and save water for periods of drought.” His efforts not only change lives but also emphasize the urgent need for sustainable solutions in a world facing increasing water shortage. 13．Why is Cruz’s childhood experience of fetching water mentioned? A．To show what a tough boy Cruz was. B．To explain his motivation for innovation. C．To recall his terrible sufferings in the past. D．To prove how short water was in his hometown. 14．What function does Cruz’s innovation serve? A．To collect tiny drops of water. B．To capture rain and mist. C．To draw fog from the Pacific. D．To occupy the bare hillsides. 15．Where have Cruz and the Creating Water Foundation installed the fog nets? A．On glaciers near the Pacific Ocean. B．Inside collection tanks in residential areas. C．On bare hillsides surrounding Lima. D．In the rocky valleys of the Peruvian Andes. 16．What may Cruz’s efforts lead to? A．Guaranteeing crop harvests in Peru. B．Promoting the recycling of water resources. C．Ending poverty by improving traditional farming. D．Improving the life quality for people in water-stressed areas. 【答案】13．B 14．A 15．C 16．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了秘鲁的工程师Abel Cruz由自然界的植物得到灵感，发明收集雾中水分的网状收集器，帮助当地解决了缺水的问题，也圆了自己儿时梦想的故事。 13．推理判断题。根据第一段中“When industrial engineer Abel Cruz was a boy, his weekly work was to struggle through a rocky valley in the foothills of the Peruvian Andes to fetch the family’s water from a spring.(当工业工程师Abel Cruz还是个孩子的时候，他每周的工作就是艰难地穿过秘鲁安第斯山脉山麓的一个岩石山谷，从一个泉里为家人取水)”和“This challenging task left a lasting impression on Cruz, who began dreaming up innovative ways to collect water more efficiently. (这项具有挑战性的任务给Cruz留下了深刻的印象，他开始想出更有效地收集水的创新方法)”可知，Abel Cruz童年取水的经历让他开始思考创新取水方法，提到了Abel Cruz小时候打水的经历是为了解释他创新的动机。故选B项。 14．细节理解题。根据第二段中“As fog comes from the Pacific Ocean, micro drops of water concentrate on the net and then drip down into collection tanks below. (当雾气从太平洋飘来时，微小的水滴聚集在网上，然后滴落到下面的收集罐中)”可知，Abel Cruz的发明雾网的功能是收集微小的水滴。故选A项。 15．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In joint efforts with the Creating Water Foundation, Cruz has fixed over 3,600 of these nets on the bare hillsides surrounding Lima, Peru.(通过与“创造水资源基金会” 的合作，克鲁斯已在秘鲁利马周边光秃秃的山坡上安装了 3600 多张这样的雾网。)”可知，Abel Cruz和“创造水资源基金会”将雾网安装在利马周边光秃秃的山坡上。故选C项。 16．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This initiative has been crucial in providing a sustainable water source for the city, which is home to more than 9 million residents. Lima experiences minimal rainfall and struggles with frequent water shortages, making Cruz’s work more critical.(这一举措对于为这座拥有 900 多万居民的城市提供可持续水源至关重要。利马降雨量极少，且频繁面临缺水问题，这使得克鲁斯的工作更为关键。)”以及第四段中的“His efforts not only change lives but also emphasize the urgent need for sustainable solutions in a world facing increasing water shortage.(他的努力不仅改变了人们的生活，也凸显了在一个面临日益严重缺水问题的世界里，迫切需要可持续的解决方案。)”可推断，Abel Cruz的努力为缺水地区（如利马）提供了稳定的水源，能够改善这些地区人们的生活质量。故选D项。 （五） Echoes of a 1997 Harbour Night: A Farewell in Shadowed Times The Victoria Harbour glittered below, its familiar sparkle now a disquieting reminder of all Stanley Cheng was leaving behind. Seated at the rooftop restaurant, the savoury aroma of dai pai dong delicacies mingled oddly with the scent of his leather suitcase. Tomorrow, he would board a flight not for adventure, but for necessity — San Francisco. The imminent handover loomed like a storm cloud, forcing choices that tasted of unspoken compromise. Mei Ling, his confidante since their Kowloon childhood days, raised her teacup. Her smile, usually radiant, seemed strained at the edges. “To your journey, Stanley,” she offered, her voice thick with unvoiced sorrow. “May the Golden Gate shine half as brightly as our harbour tonight.” Stanley clung to her words, a knot of emotions tightening in his throat. Their shared history — surviving typhoons, cramming for exams under flickering neon, dreaming amidst the relentless energy of Nathan Road — felt poignantly fragile now. “Remember Wong Tai Sin last Mid-Autumn?” Mei Ling’s question hung in the air. “We released those lanterns, believing their flight mirrored our futures... boundless.” Stanley nodded, draining his jasmine tea to hide the involuntary tremor in his hand. The optimism of youth felt like a distant echo. “Fate plays discordant tunes, Mei,” he murmured, his gaze fixed on the ferries crisscrossing the dark water. “Leaving feels less like soaring, more like... uprooting.” Later, under the waning crescent moon, Mei Ling’s voice rose in a familiar melody — an old Cantopop ballad about fleeting time and unwavering bonds. Stanley listened, transfixed. Each note carved itself into his memory — the raucous city hum beneath them, the fragile warmth of shared presence, the profound ache of impending separation. This wasn’t mere farewell; it was the dismantling of a world. Why This Night Held the Weight of a Thousand Tomorrows As the final note faded, Mei Ling turned, her eyes reflecting the harbour lights. “Stanley,” she began, her voice laced with quiet intensity, “Time will pass. You’ll hear countless symphonies in concert halls across the ocean. You’ll witness sunsets gilding the Pacific, constellations unknown gracing foreign skies.” She paused, her next words deliberate, heavy. “Yet, I venture to say, no grandeur out there, no matter how dazzling, will eclipse the luminosity of this very hour. For this light,” she gestured around them, “isn’t cast by the moon alone, but by the shared history illuminating our goodbye.” Stanley felt the sting of profound truth. Future marvels would be admired, perhaps enjoyed, but always viewed through the lens of absence. This moment, steeped in shared sacrifice and tinged with regret, held an irreplaceable resonance. Its beauty was inextricably bound to its pain, magnified by the uncertainty of return. A Fragile Pact Against the Tide of Change Descending the Peak Tram for the last time, Mei Ling pressed a worn cassette into Stanley’s palm — recordings of Hong Kong’s soundscape. “When the fog clings stubbornly to those San Francisco hills,” she whispered, her composure finally fraying, “or when the sheer alienness of it all threatens to engulf you... play this. Let the rain sound like our monsoon, the cable car bell like our trams. Summon this night. Remember who we were here.” Stanley vowed solemnly, a lump rendering his voice hoarse. The path ahead promised isolation. When, or if, the stars would align for a reunion remained shrouded in the mists of tomorrow. It was this gnawing ambiguity that lent their final evening its excruciating preciousness. Standing alone later on his hotel balcony, the harbour’s dwindling lights mirroring his receding home, Mei Ling’s conviction resounded within him. No future splendour could wash away the imprint of this farewell — the bittersweet symphony of belonging, loss, and the unyielding spirit of a home carried within. Its perfection lay not in joy, but in the depth of feeling shared under a shared sky, one final time. Home, he realised, was not a place, but a moment — this moment — suspended precariously between a cherished past and an uncharted future. 17．When Mei Ling compares the Golden Gate Bridge to “our harbour tonight,” why does this comparison make the pain stronger? A．She is saying more than she means. B．She uses a part to represent the whole. C．She uses an exaggerated irony. D．She gives an object a human feeling. 18．The cassette’s hidden weight lies in its power to_________. A．compress an entire city’s soundscape into exile’s pocket B．predict the weather in San Francisco C．erase the need for photographs D．replace Cantonese tones with English vowels 19．In calling leaving “uprooting,” Stanley reveals the core conflict between _________. A．personal ambition and filial duty B．fixed place and floating identity C．romance and career D．memory and imagination 20．The waning crescent moon over the harbour silently measures__________. A．the shrinking time before reunion B．the fading light of a collective era C．the exact hour of departure D．the waxing hope of return 【答案】17．C 18．A 19．B 20．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述1997年香港回归前夕，Stanley因局势将赴旧金山，与好友Mei Ling在维多利亚港告别，蕴含着离别之痛与时代变迁下的复杂情感。 17．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“May the Golden Gate shine half as brightly as our harbour tonight.(愿金门大桥的光芒能有我们今晚港湾的一半明亮)”可知，Mei Ling用夸张的对比，暗示旧金山的金门大桥虽有名，但在她心中远不及家乡港湾的光芒，这种略带讽刺的夸张表达，让离别的痛苦因对家乡的珍视而更加强烈。故选C项。 18．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Mei Ling pressed a worn cassette into Stanley’s palm — recordings of Hong Kong’s soundscape. “When the fog clings stubbornly to those San Francisco hills, or when the sheer alienness of it all threatens to engulf you play this. Let the rain sound like our monsoon, the cable car bell like our trams.(Mei Ling将一盘旧磁带塞进Stanley的手心——里面录着香港的各种声音。“当旧金山的山岗被浓雾久久笼罩，或是当周遭全然的陌生感快要将你吞噬时就听听这个。让那里的雨声听着像我们这里的季风，缆车的铃声听着像我们的电车”)”可知，这盘磁带的隐藏分量在于它能将整个城市的声音压缩进远在异乡的人的口袋，成为连接家乡的情感纽带。故选A项。 19．推理判断题。根据第五段““Leaving feels less like soaring, more like... uprooting.”(“离开不像是展翅翱翔，更像是……被连根拔起”)”可知，“uprooting”（连根拔起）一词揭示了Stanley内心深处固定的家乡归属感与即将面临的漂泊身份之间的核心冲突。故选B项。 20．推理判断题。结合全文背景（1997 年香港回归前夕）及第六段中的“This wasn’t mere farewell; it was the dismantling of a world.(这不仅仅是告别，更是一个世界的解体。)”可知，港湾上空的峨眉残月悄然丈量着一个集体时代光芒的消逝。故选B项。 （六） Lila had always dreamed of being a ballet dancer. Since she was six years old, she spent every afternoon practicing pirouettes (旋转) and arabesques (阿拉贝斯舞姿) in her backyard. Her mother, a former dancer, would watch and correct her movements gently. “You have a gift, Lila,” she often said. “Never give up on it.” But at the age of 14, a disaster struck. Lila fell during a practice session and broke her ankle. The doctor told her she might never dance again. Heartbroken, Lila threw away her ballet shoes and stopped attending her dance classes. She spent her days in her room, reading books and avoiding her friends. Her mother tried to encourage her, but Lila refused to talk about dancing. Two years later, Lila’s school announced a talent show. Her best friend, Mia, begged her to participate. “You don’t have to dance,” Mia said. “You could sing or play the piano.” But Lila shook her head. She had lost interest in everything related to performing. One afternoon, while cleaning out the attic, Lila found an old box of her mother’s dance videos. Curious, she put one in the DVD player. There was her mother, young and graceful, performing on a big stage. Lila watched, tears streaming down her face. She remembered how happy dancing used to make her. The next day, Lila went to see her former dance teacher, Ms. Sandra. “I want to try again,” she said nervously. Ms. Sandra smiled. “I’ve been waiting for you to say that. Your ankle has healed, but we’ll take it slow.” For months, Lila practiced for hours every day. It was painful at first, and she fell many times. But she refused to quit. Mia came to every practice, cheering her on. Her mother helped her stretch and massaged her ankle after each session. On the day of the talent show, Lila stood backstage, her hands shaking. When her name was called, she took a deep breath and walked onto the stage. The music started, and she began to dance. At first, she felt nervous, but as she moved, all her fears disappeared. She danced with all her heart, just like she used to. When the music stopped, the audience erupted in applause. Lila bowed, tears of joy in her eyes. Her mother and Mia were standing at the front, clapping and smiling proudly. After the show, Ms. Sandra hugged her. “You didn’t just dance tonight, Lila.

Lila fell during a practice session and broke her ankle. The doctor told her she might never dance again.(但在14岁时，y一场灾难降临了。Lila在一次练习中摔倒，摔断了脚踝。医生告诉她，她可能再也不能跳舞了)”可知，Lila14岁时停止跳舞是因为她摔断了脚踝，医生告诉她可能再也不能跳舞了。故选C。 22．细节理解题。根据第四段中“One afternoon, while cleaning out the attic, Lila found an old box of her mother’s dance videos. Curious, she put one in the DVD player. There was her mother, young and graceful, performing on a big stage. Lila watched, tears streaming down her face. She remembered how happy dancing used to make her.(一天下午，Lila在清理阁楼时，发现了一盒母亲以前的舞蹈录像带。出于好奇，她把其中一盘放进了DVD播放机。屏幕上出现了她年轻而优雅的母亲，在一个大舞台上表演。Lila看着，泪水顺着脸颊流了下来。她想起了跳舞曾经给她带来的快乐)”可知，Lila看了母亲的旧舞蹈录像，想起了跳舞带来的快乐，这让她决定再次尝试跳舞。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When the music stopped, the audience erupted in applause. Lila bowed, tears of joy in her eyes. Her mother and Mia were standing at the front, clapping and smiling proudly.(音乐停止时，观众爆发出热烈的掌声。Lila鞠躬，眼中含着喜悦的泪水。她的母亲和米娅站在前面，鼓掌并自豪地微笑着)”可知，Lila在才艺表演中跳完舞后感到很高兴，因为她收到了掌声，看到了亲人以她为傲。故选C。 24．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“After the show, Ms. Sandra hugged her. “You didn’t just dance tonight, Lila. You showed everyone what courage looks like.”(演出结束后，桑德拉女士拥抱了她。“Lila，你今晚不只是跳舞。你向大家展示了什么是勇气。”)”以及前文提到Lila受伤后放弃跳舞，后来又克服困难重新跳舞的经历，可推知，桑德拉女士这句话是为了表明Lila在经历困难挫折后勇敢地继续追求自己的梦想。故选B。 （七） UPS driver RYAN ARENS was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard an unearthly sound. “Like a cry for help,” he told thedodo.com, a website for animal lovers. It was December 2018, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry — a half-submerged brown-and-white wirehaired hound, struggling to cling to a thin layer of ice. How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking away at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog. It was slow going, and Arens, 44, thought he stood a better chance. “Animals are my weakness,” he told the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he stripped down to his boxers and socks, even though the temperature was in the 30s, and commandeered the rowboat. His heart thumping, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave one strong heave too many and slipped off the boat, crashing into 16 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner, a retired veterinarian. Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both defrosted. A few more minutes in the pond, the vet told Arens, and she would have likely suffered cardiac arrest. The next day, Arens was back working the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie. “Would you like to meet her?” he asked. He opened the door to his pickup, and Sadie bolted out. She made a beeline for Arens, leaping on him and bathing him in wet kisses. That special delivery, says Arens, “was the highlight of my UPS career.” 25．How did the elderly man try to save the dog at first? A．He swam to the dog directly. B．He called Ryan Arens for help. C．He used a stick to reach the dog. D．He hacked at the ice with a rock. 26．What does the underlined word “commandeered” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．borrowed B．took control of C．repaired D．sold 27．What can we infer from the passage? A．The dog’s owner lived far away from the pond. B．Ryan Arens often saved animals in his daily life. C．Sadie recognized and was grateful to Ryan Arens. D．The temperature in Bozeman, Montana was very high then. 28．What is the main idea of the passage? A．A retired veterinarian helped take care of a rescued dog. B．A dog owner thanked a UPS driver for returning his lost dog. C．An elderly man tried to save a dog in a frozen pond but failed. D．A UPS driver risked his life to save a drowning dog in a frozen pond. 【答案】25．D 26．B 27．C 28．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章详细描述了UPS司机Ryan Arens在听到狗的求救声后，不顾寒冷，跳入冰冷的水中，历经困难最终成功救起半淹没在冰水中的狗。 25．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking away at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.(他乘划艇进入池塘，用一块石头凿开冰面，为狗开辟一条路)”可知，老人是划着一艘小船进入池塘，并用一块石头凿冰，试图开辟一条通向狗的路。A选项“他直接游向狗”，文章未提及；B选项“他打电话给Ryan Arens求助”，原文是Arens看到老人在施救，不是老人打电话求助；C选项“他用一根棍子去够狗”，文章也未提及；所以D选项“He hacked at the ice with a rock.(他用一块石头凿冰)”正确。故选D。 26．词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“‘Animals are my weakness,’ he told the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he stripped down to his boxers and socks, even though the temperature was in the 30s(‘动物是我的软肋，’他告诉Great Falls Tribune，并解释了为什么即使气温只有30多华氏度，他也要脱得只剩四角裤和袜子)”以及后文的“the rowboat”可知，Arens因为动物是他的软肋，尽管温度很低，他还是只穿着短裤和袜子，然后对小船做了某个动作去救狗。结合语境，他应该是“控制、掌管”了小船去救狗。A选项“borrowed(借)”，文章未体现借的意思；C选项“repaired(修理)”，文中没说修理船；D选项“sold(卖)”，更不符合语境，所以B选项“took control of(控制、掌管)”正确。故选B。 27．推理判断题 。根据最后一段“He opened the door to his pickup, and Sadie bolted out. She made a beeline for Arens, leaping on him and bathing him in wet kisses.(他打开皮卡的门，Sadie冲了出去。她径直向Arens走去，跳到他身上，用湿吻给他洗澡。Arens说，那次特殊递送“是我UPS事业中的亮点”。)”可以看出狗直接冲向Arens并亲吻他，能推断出狗认出并感激他。故选C。 28．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章详细描述了UPS司机Ryan Arens在听到狗的求救声后，不顾寒冷，跳入冰冷的水中，历经困难最终成功救起半淹没在冰水中的狗，选项D“一名UPS司机冒着生命危险去救一只在冰冻池塘里快要淹死的狗”准确概括了文章的主要内容。选项A：退休兽医只是在狗被救上岸后帮忙照顾，这不是文章的核心内容，文章重点在于救狗的过程，所以A选项错误。选项B：狗主人感谢司机救狗只是故事后续的一个情节，不是文章主旨，文章主要围绕救狗事件展开，所以B选项错误。选项C：文章中提到老人尝试救狗，但进展缓慢，并非失败，且重点是UPS司机Ryan Arens成功救狗，所以C选项错误。故选D。 （八） When I arrived in Hefei, I was greeted by a familial curiosity that comes with my mixed background: Brazilian born with a mother who carries the rich traditions of Luxembourg and Germany, and a father with values rooted in the cultures of Italy and Portugal, making me a natural global citizen who respects and explores diverse cultures.
