专题02 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (23-24高一上•浙江宁波鄞州中学•期中) When my teenaged son became seriously ill, terrible times for my family began. Our once-happy home became tense and depressed. My husband and I were exhausted under the great stress of caring for my son. It was as if we forgot how to communicate-we couldn’t have a simple conversation without a fighting. Our marriage was on the point of breaking up. One evening, my son and I were talking about gifts. I recalled my first Valentine’s present from my husband, a kazoo. I was awkward when I received it because I couldn’t get it to make a sound although I am a professional saxophone player. However hard I tried, it just never worked. The kazoo eventually got packed away and forgotten. But my son was interested and insisted on seeing it. After some trouble, I found it. “You couldn’t get a sound? What’s so hard about it?” my husband asked, amazed. He took the kazoo and blew. Nothing happened. Surprised, he tried again. Still there was no sound. Frustrated, he tried again, only to produce a funny sound like an angry bumblebee trapped in the mouth of a bear. We burst into laughter. My son took a turn to play the kazoo. He did no better than us, causing more laughing. Seeing his face light up, we felt as if the darkness had lifted and a ray of sunshine was let in. It was the best ten minutes of the past couple of years. The mood stayed light for the rest of the evening. It didn’t solve anything. But this experience with the kazoo brought some change in our hearts that always reminds us that there are still things to laugh at and enjoy, and that we can still connect as a family. 1．What affected the relationship of the couple? A．Quarrels between the couple over marriage. B．Different values they shared towards everything. C．Stress and chaos arising from their son’s serious illness. D．Lack of money needed for their son’s medical treatment. 2．Why did the husband blow the kazoo personally? A．He had a love for playing the kazoo. B．He meant to make his son delighted. C．He wanted to ease a feeling of depression. D．He didn’t think it that hard to play the kazoo. 3．What is the turning point of the story? A．My failure to get the kazoo to make a sound. B．The involvement of my husband in playing the kazoo. C．My memory about the Valentine’s present from my husband. D．The failed but funny playing of the kazoo by my husband and son. 4．What does the story mainly tell us? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．Parents are the best teachers. C．Music can cure the hurt souls. D．Misfortunes test the true love. Passage 2 (24-25高一上•浙江台州十校•期中) Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do, mine. Her name was Mrs. White. I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! The scrawl (潦草的笔迹) in that worried my mother, so one day when she met Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes. Why she never red-pencilled in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors. Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait...” What my mother gave me was the gist of what she could remember. But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that. And it occurs to me that if Mrs. White had used her red pen more precisely I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher — to restrain (限制) her red pen. To allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression flower — however faultily — like that. I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. I never could quite remember that the “e” went before the “a”. It annoyed my teacher in high school endlessly. Eventually the “e” s and “a” s that were wrong placed in “beautiful” settled into their right places. I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. “Pretty” is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes. And thanks to Mrs. White I had no concerns about writing what I meant, even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t pretty. It’s beautiful. 5．What worried his mother when the author was in kindergarten? A．The teacher’s little attention to the author’s mistakes. B．The teacher’s terrible attitude to the author. C．The author’s unwillingness to go to school. D．The author’s failure in exams and scrawl in homework. 6．What does the underlined word “dampen” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Increase. B．Inspire. C．Awaken. D．Reduce. 7．What can we learn from the fifth paragraph? A．The author finally succeeded in spelling “beautiful” correctly. B．The teacher in high school disliked the author. C．The author owed all his own spelling problems to Mrs. White. D．The author preferred using the word “pretty”. 8．Which of the following can be used to describe Mrs. White? A．Humorous and kind. B．Warm-hearted and careful. C．Honest and brave. D．Far-sighted and understanding. Passage 3 (24-25高一上•浙江温州十校•期中) Year-12 student Noah Little has already sat his first Chinese-speaking exam and said it was “the easiest exam I’ve ever done”. That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app. Noah said his love of language was encouraged by his community. “Wagga is a place full of people from different cultures, and sometimes when I meet new people who have trouble speaking English I like to talk to them in their own language,” he said. “I also have a few Chinese friends so I think it will be cool to talk to them in their language.” The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers. Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. “I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn’t powerful enough,” he said. His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news. He said learning computer programming to build the app had been like studying another language. With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. “I’m planning to work for a year and save so I can go on to university as I really want to make a career (事业) out of one of these two topics.” 9．What do we know about Noah? A．He began to learn Chinese at 11. B．He failed his first Chinese exam. C．He likes teaching Chinese to people. D．He gets a lot from learning Chinese. 10．What are included in Noah’s app? A．Advertisements. B．Pieces of world news. C．Suggestions for memorizing words. D．Ways of writing Chinese characters. 11．What has Noah decided to do shortly after high school graduation? A．Look for a job. B．Attend university. C．Develop a new app. D．Learn more languages. 12．Which of the following can best describe Noah? A．Curious and creative. B．Humorous and honest. C．Courageous and caring. D．Outgoing and outspoken. 主题02 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 (24-25高一上•浙江六校联盟•期中) I’ve been into volunteer work since childhood. As a girl, I volunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing homes, and helped with community cleanup. In college, I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference, which is where I first met and fell in love with my husband Tom, who was on my team of co-volunteers. Since getting married in 2013, we’ve been living in Beirut, Lebanon. My husband works for a nonprofit organization. I have an online coaching business, so I’ve many opportunities to volunteer for youth education. Volunteering has been a way of life for me and I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it. Most of the time, you do feel that you’re making a difference. Once I led a project that provided food to Syrian families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest holiday season in Islam, I filled the food package with nuts, olive oil, sweets... We took the package unannounced and arrived just as the Syrian family was sitting on their floor for breakfast. They had nothing but some bread and a pot of tea. The mother cried when seeing us, saying she would never forget our kindness. Another time, some friends and I volunteered to a distant church with only a few elderly residents. The building was old and the churchyard needed attention. We spent the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the church. I’ll never forget the new life in her eyes as she stayed with us. She couldn’t repair broken doors or pull weeds, but she loved us like nothing else. It breaks my heart to remember this old lady beaming with joy for such small efforts we made. Volunteer work is satisfying not because you have done some work, but because your presence has an effect on people around. Volunteering makes me a better person because it puts my focus on others. It makes me grateful for what I have and gives me a chance to serve people, which gives a deep sense of meaning to my life. 13．When did the author meet her husband for the first time? A．When she was a child. B．When she was a college student. C．When she worked in a company. D．When she was a senior high school student. 14．Why did the Syrian mother cry when the author arrived? A．Her children were ill. B．Her husband was missing. C．She had no food. D．She was very moved. 15．How did the old lady feel when seeing the author? A．Pleasant. B．Frightened. C．Impatient. D．Disappointed. 16．Why does the author think volunteering is pleasing? A．She can hear many stories. B．She has done much work. C．She can help others. D．She has met many people. Passage 2 (24-25高一上•浙江省强基联盟•期中) Dottie Brier’s role as a mental (心理的) health volunteer at the American Red Cross in New York may have kicked off in 1992, but her first experience with the organization dates back to World War Ⅱ (WWⅡ).

In 1995, Brier was asked by the head of Disaster Services at the Red Cross in New York to help start a similar program in the area. As a pioneer in the field of disaster mental health, she believes that developing such a program for the Red Cross has been extremely important. “It’s made a huge difference. We did a great deal of work educating people about mental health aspects and why they were important,” she adds. She knows it’s important to take care of her own feelings, too. She protects her own mental health by using relaxation methods including yoga and walking and having other interests such as being a guide at the American Museum of Natural History.

Passage 3 (24-25高一上•浙江宁波北仑中学•期中) During the lively Paris Olympics, while the spotlight shone on the athletes, a group of unsung heroes worked tirelessly behind the scenes — the Olympic volunteers. This year, out of 300,000 applicants, around 45,000 were chosen as volunteers, with 20 percent coming from nearly 150 countries. These volunteers wore bright green uniforms (制服) to be easily noticed in the purple venues (场馆). They offered help to viewers and media alike, making them an important part of the Olympic experience. On my first day as a reporter, I met a technical problem with my media system account. Thankfully, Chinese volunteer Guo came to help me out. “I hope to improve my language, communication skills, and problem- solving methods through this event,” said 24-year-old Guo from Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province, who was studying wireless communication at the Paris Institute of Digital Technology. As a former professional swimmer, Guo saw this as her chance to take part in the Olympics, though in a different role. Another Chinese volunteer, Yang, faced challenges in managing her job and volunteer duties. Despite giving up her holidays, she felt great pride in contributing to the event. One of my most memorable experiences was meeting with a French volunteer. When I needed help to find the visitor center, a young man on a scooter (小型摩托车) appeared, like a sort of “Monkey King riding a cloud”, and offered to take me there. After helping me, he expressed his admiration for the Beijing Olympics and his desire to visit China again. Volunteers like them were seen everywhere — from bus stops to competition venues — offering directions and helping with a smile. When large crowds left the venues after the events, causing overcrowding, some volunteers sat on high chairs with loudspeakers, providing directions to go outside in both English and French with a smile.

Passage 4 (24-25高一上•浙江鄞州中学•期中) Today, we study literature (文学) from a young age-learning about our histories, worlds and influential people. Whether we notice or not, these stories guide us throughout our lives. They allow us to see the world through another’s eyes, open up our world and teach us about every subject known to man.

The Tolstoy book was later joined by The Little Prince, Sophie’s World, The lliad and a number of novels. Today, he has collected around 25,000 books. His growing collection didn’t go unnoticed. Gutierrez’s neighbors were soon borrowing the books to help with their children’s homework. “There was a lack of them in our neighborhood, so we started to help.” said Gutierrez. The ground floor of Gutierrez’s home is now filled with books, from floor to ceiling. He opened it up as a free library, with the help of his wife Luz Gutierrez and their three children. Word finally spread around about Gutierrez and his books. Most of the books now come from donations. He now travels around the country delivering free books to poor and remote areas.

Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery. Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up. When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man.

In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的), he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words. Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldn’t take care of a student with special needs.

Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school. The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains.He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06, being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.

Passage 3 (23-24高一上•浙江镇海中学•期中) I was terribly shy as a child. I couldn’t bear to be noticed and if I spoke people would notice me, so I spoke as little as possible. About four years ago, I was hanging out with my friends on a playground. I noticed two little girls, who came to play near where we were. The elder sister pulled the younger girl away from us but couldn’t go far, as her sister threw herself on to the ground crying and refusing to get up. I was longing to comfort her but felt unable to do so. Then I thought: Why am I waiting for someone to give me permission to do what I feel is right? I went over to the little girl and held out my hand. I had merely intended to help her up first but instead she pulled me down into a tight hug. I instantly felt the surge of her emotions flood through me. We knelt on the ground hugging tightly for what felt like a longtime; at one point I tried to move away but she wouldn’t let me go. The elder girl had run off, and reappeared with a man I took to be their father. She pointed at me accusingly (谴责地). It occurred to me that he would probably be angry at a stranger hugging his child and might shout at me or even hit me. I then decided that it didn’t matter if he did hit me. At that moment, the only thing that mattered in the world was comforting the little girl in my arms. To my surprise, the man wasn’t angry. He just nodded and held his arms out to his child. She calmed down and went to him willingly. He carried her away and the sister followed them. I watched them disappear into the crowd. That day, I learned that I can speak, and if-I can’t speak, I can take action, which is often easier. I still find speaking difficult. But now I know that if I need to, I can. 9．Why did the author approach the little girl on the playground? A．To scold her for crying on the playground. B．To join in the play with her and her sister.

Passage 4 (23-24高一上•浙江杭州学军中学•期中) I started to worry when the golf car taking me, Steve, and our suitcases stopped in the middle of the Maine forest. A yurt (蒙古包) is a tent tall enough to stand in and wide enough to fit a big family. But I didn’t see it anywhere. “You hike from here,” said the driver, pointing down a weedy (杂草丛生的) path. The woods were darkening, and Steve encouraged me to pick up the pace. My summer sandals (凉鞋) slipped on the wet leaves. Steve and I spent a good hour until we spotted the light of the yurt. Steve skillfully lit a fire. We ate some sandwiches, had a few beers, and settled in for a good night’s sleep. But I couldn’t relax. I shook Steve awake. “The door to the yurt doesn’t lock,” I said. “What if a bear wanders into the camp?” “Don’t worry. Moose (驼鹿) are a bigger problem here than bears,” he said. “Well, what if someone decides to rob us? Or what if one of the locals wants to teach us a lesson?” “OK,” Steve said with a heavy sigh. He forcefully placed a chair under the door handle. “There, additional protection.” He smiled. “And even if someone gets through the door, you’ll have time to grab that book and use it as a weapon.” I laughed. Sleep moved in. We could enjoy our weekend. When we “checked out” three mornings later. I was the first one up. That’s when I realized that the door opened ... out. The chair had been serving no purpose other than to keep me quiet. “So,” I said, as we walked heavily back to meet the golf car. “How else have you been ‘handling’ me this weekend?” He smiled. “Well.

Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 16．What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Stress. B．Threat. C．Shame. D．Glory. 17．According to the author, what contributes to her victory in the Softball Throw event? A．Her confidence in her sports skills. B．The efforts she put into exercising. C．Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D．The strong influence of her father. 18．What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A．She changed the focus into reading. B．She stuck to working out. C．She regularly exercised on weekends. D．She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 19．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To express her love for sports. B．To show her father’s guidance on sports. C．To stress the advantages of physical exercise. D．To share her childhood memories about sports. 主题02 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 (24-25高一上•浙江宁波余姚中学•期中) In December 2004, I had just become a professional photographer and was working on a project about communities who live on the sea, known as sea nomads (海上游牧民族). I was living with members of the Chao-Ley tribe (部落) on a small island in southern Thailand. We didn’t share a language and relied on body language to communicate. I went out to sea with them regularly. One morning, I was due to set out with a group of six Chao-Ley fishermen in a small boat. The sea looked different, with the water totally still. About 20 minutes after we left and a few miles out in the open sea, one of the fishermen pointed to a small white spot far in the distance. It was getting bigger and bigger very quickly. This was a tsunami (海啸) wave speeding through the ocean. Usually, the deeper the water, the weaker the wave. But we weren’t out far enough to be safe, nor close enough to shore to make it back in time. We were stuck. I began to feel really scared. The captain told the six of us where to sit, so we would balance out the boat. My camera was in my backpack. I wanted to capture the scene, but I couldn’t. Any movement would imbalance the boat. Suddenly there was a huge noise. The wave hit the boat, but in a flash the skilled captain managed to swerve (使突然转向) us up and onto the wave. Then the boat moved from the tip of the wave down into safe waters. Our eyes and mouths were wide open, and everyone let out heavy sighs. The captain had saved us all. Surviving gave me a deep understanding of how important life can be. I’ve been going back to Southeast Asia almost every year since. The photography project has become a thank-you to the people who saved my life. The picture I wanted to take on the boat remains “the one that got away” – I think every photographer has one. But mine changed my life. 20．What happened before the author set out with the fishermen? A．The captain wanted to cancel the trip. B．He noticed something unusual. C．They saw a white spot in the distance. D．It looked like it was about to rain. 21．When did the author start to feel frightened? A．When fishermen on the boat felt nervous. B．When he realized they were trapped. C．When the boat was about to be hit. D．When the boat shook violently. 22．What was the author doing when the tsunami wave hit the boat? A．Helping the captain swerve. B．Taking a photo of the wave. C．Trying not to move. D．Reaching for his backpack. 23．What did the author learn from his experience? A．We should have the courage to take risks. B．Opportunity never knocks twice. C．Life is too short to be wasted. D．Sometimes regrets in life can save us. Passage 2 (23-24高一上•浙江金华一中•期中) Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue, and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target of laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to buy him new clothes. Two of the kids piling on were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their unfavorable words felt like bullying (欺凌) and seemed to be slowly crushing (击垮) Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked (被突然领悟) . “I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets. The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably nervous about being called out by the larger boys. “He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’” He then handed Todd a bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers. Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told CBS News. “Surprised and upset, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham. “I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd told CBS News. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he called it “the best day of my entire life, basically.” 24．What can we learn about Todd and his family from the passage? A．Todd worked hard to earn his living. B．Todd’s family lived in extreme poverty. C．Todd’s mother did nothing to change the situation. D．Todd was made fun of from the beginning of school. 25．What does the underlined word “hatched” mean in paragraph 2? A．Formed. B．Proved. C．Confirmed. D．Rejected. 26．What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4? A．Todd was eager to make more friends with others. B．Todd felt puzzled when being shouted by Graham. C．Todd received no apology from Garrett and Graham. D．Todd was shocked but pleased at the kids’ help to him. 27．What does the author want to convey (传达) through the passage? A．Helping the weak out is a virtue (美德) . B．Accepting and living with each other’s weaknesses. C．Hoping for the best while preparing for the worst. D．Making friends with those having common interests. 24．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. (迈克尔·托德上学的头三个星期每天都穿同样的衣服。)”和“But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to buy him new clothes. (但托德无能为力。他母亲根本买不起给他买新衣服。)”可知，Todd家境贫穷。故选B项。 Passage 3 (23-24高一上•浙江9+1联盟•期中) In 1867, Caroline Shawk Brooks and her husband, Samuel, had a farm in Arkansas. Life on the farm was not easy. From sunrise to sunset, Caroline and Samuel milked cows, gardened, and picked cotton. This left Caroline no time for her dream of becoming an artist. Time was not the only problem. Money was a worry too. The cotton crops were failing. What could Caroline and Samuel do? Caroline decided to make butter (黄油) from their cows’milk and sell it at market. But other farms also made and sold butter. How would Caroline set her butter apart from the rest? This is where Caroline’s artistic talent came in. To draw attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures (雕塑). She used many different tools, such as butter paddles (搅拌器的浆叶), broom straws, and tree sticks. She also put the butter in a shallow tin pan, which sat in a larger tin pan filled with ice to stop the butter sculpture from melting. Caroline’s butter sculptures were a hit. Before long, she was displaying them at fairs and exhibitions. One of her largest butter sculptures was a life-size statue called A Study in Butter. It was transported all the way to Paris for the 1878 world’s fair. Caroline also made sculptures using marble (大理石). She eventually opened a studio in New York City where she created many marble sculptures, some of which were shown at the 1893 world’s fair in Chicago. But Caroline never stopped making butter art. She considered butter a superior material to work with. At the 1893 fair, she also displayed her butter techniques with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus. Caroline Shawk Brooks died in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1913. She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor. 24．Why did Caroline make butter sculptures? A．To realize her dream.

Passage 4 (23-24高一上•浙江杭州十四中•期中) I just flew from Berlin, Germany, to Atlanta,Gcorgia, and it took me 24 hours due lo the weather-related delay during my stopover in New York. Like many other passengers, I was so worm out, annoyed, and helpless that I could barely hold it together. The pilot, called Thiemy Beyeler, was different. He left the flight deck and walked to the dissatisfied passengers to apologize and comfort them.The pilot's appropriate behavior set the tone and ensured no one got angry. It reminded me of the beauty of “elegance(优雅)under pressure”. Thierry Beyeler was a pilot with Swiss International Air Lines, for which he flew various aircraft. During the delay, I had the chance to speak to Beyelor and learn about his experience as a pilot. He said, “Flying is a bit like eating chocolate. I love every flight. However, when you have 16 flights in four days, then that's too much chocolate for me..." As for crisis(危机)situations, he did have a few. “Once, I had an engine failure, but that's rare, and we handled it. Another time, we had smoke in the cabin,and we went to land quickly. In end, it was just the air conditioning having some problems…."He believes, "As Murphty's law puts it, 'What can be wrong will go wrong'. So think about it and try to prepare mentally." Beyeler continued, "Compared with cars, a flight is a high-risk environment; it's not like riding a bike. Even if there was a minor error, it could have fatal consequences. Every pilot is quite professional in the field. But it is the strong mindset(观念模式)in the chaos(混乱)that plays the key role. Humans stop in technical systems to solve items countless times a day, and it would be dangerous if the pilot became nervous and forgot that." I’ve been touched by Beycler's words. I understand that human factors, including confidence, courage, sensibility, and emotional intelligence are becoming more and more important in today's world. 28．How did Beyeler sound facing the long delay according to the text? A．Discouraged and tired. B．Calm and positive. C．Helpless and anxious. D．Annoyed and cold-hearted. 29．What does Beycler want to show by mentioning"eating chocolate"? A．Flying brings him much fun. B．Flying involves various crisis situations. C．Too many flight tasks can be unacceptable for him. D．Too many crisis situations have Happened to him. 30．What does Beyeler consider important for pilots during crises? A．Gaining a good sense of time. B．Having great strength of mind. C．Knowing all the technical systems well. D．Having a good grasp of professional knowledge. 31．What did the author think of his communication with Beyeler? A．Boring. B．Frightening. C．Rewarding D．Confusing Passage 5 (24-25高一上•浙江宁波北仑中学•期中) Orion Jean is a kid on a mission. His goal is to spread kindness and inspire others to do the same. It all started last year when Orion’s elementary school teacher suggested that the then 9-year-old enter the National Kindness Speech Contest. “I decided that I was just going to give it a shot and see how it would go,” Orion tells us. He gave a speech about how kindness could “change a nation,” and won the competition, receiving a $500 cash prize. He quickly realized he wasn’t going to use all of that money. “I’m a kid,” he says, “I have everything that I could ever want. But there are people who don’t.” Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign — a series of events to help others. Orion describes the campaign as “just an idea where I would spread kindness and people would be able to join the race by spreading kindness in their own communities.” He decided to start by helping children with health problems in the hospital, saying, “What better way to amuse a kid than a toy?” So, he used his winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. He collected over 600 toys, which were donated to the Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas in 2021. But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community. Race to Kindness partnered with a local nonprofit organization to help get 100, 000 meals donated and to feed people who might not have had a meal for Thanksgiving. The result? “We were able to not only reach but also surpass our goal of 100, 000 meals,” he says. In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”. When asked why he thinks of books, “I’m a huge book fan,” Orion shares, “and studies show that children who have books in their homes do better academically.” 32．What does the underlined words “give it a shot” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Have a try. B．Give a hand. C．Get a big head. D．Have second thoughts. 33．What helps Orion bring about the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign? A．His great passion for racing.

A．Creative and childish. B．Kind and straightforward. C．Easy-going and sympathetic. D．Generous and ambitious. 35．What can be inferred about why Orion chose to start the “Race to Kindness” campaign with toys for children in hospitals?

C．His parents advised him to use toys because they are easy to gather. D．He thought it would be a quick way to spend his prize money. Passage 6 (24-25高一上•浙江杭州学军中学•期中) At St. Francis High School in La Canada, Calif. ,there’s something to be said about math teacher Jim Connor. Truth is, Connor can be a bit of a drudge. But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.” And for years, the kids thought that’s all there was to him — until last November, when senior Pat McGoldrick learned they didn’t know the half of him. Pat was in charge of a student blood drive and had just come to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for a meeting. And he says it was weird: whenever he told someone he went to St. Francis High School, they all said, “Oh, you must know Jim Connor. Isn’t he wonderful? ” “It was disbelief, really,” Pat says. “It was almost kind of finding this alter ego (另一面) that he has.” Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort their children. “They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.” “I just like them and relate to them somehow,” Connor says. Connor has never been married; he has no kids of his own. But he has fallen hard for these babies. “I’ve always respected him, but now it’s to an even different degree — really to the point where I try to emulate him,” Pat says. “He’s the epitome of a man of service.” 36．What do we learn from paragraph 2?

A．Bonding with babies in need of love B．A real lesson is life through learning calculus C．Everybody keeps something under his hat D．Tough teacher has a soft heart Passage 7 (24-25高一上•浙江宁波余姚中学•期中) I was scared when a loud noise in my apartment woke me in the middle of the night. I rushed to turn on my bedroom light and discovered it was a cat. Here’s the thing — I do not have a cat. And this was not the first time this particular cat had demanded my attention. I immediately calmed down and realized my error — I had left a window open. I approached to entertain my house-guest by giving her some treats and a scratch under her collar (颈圈). Like so many others, I shifted from working in an office to working from home. Living alone can be isolating at the best of times. It was around the one-month mark of the lockdown when I heard a meow outside my window. Sitting outside on the grass was a long-haired, golden-colored cat. I opened the window, and this beautiful cat jumped into my home. Her short visit brightened my day. A few days later, I heard a familiar meow. I saw a name tag on her collar: Mika. On this second visit, I also noticed Mika was cross-eyed, which only made her more lovely. Over the next few weeks, Mika would stop by occasionally. Sometimes, she only stayed for a few minutes; other times, she would wander around my apartment much longer. Each visit brightened me. Mika even helped me connect with some new neighbors, who asked if Mika was my cat. Apparently, Mika visited them as well. While the lockdown has been awful, I suspect I might not have ever met Mika if it had not happened. But perhaps she came by at this time because she sensed a need for connection on my part. While dogs are said to be man’s best friend, a good cat can be everyone’s best friend. 40．What do we know about the cat from the first three paragraphs? A．She used to go out at night. B．She entered through the window. C．She annoyed the neighbors badly. D．She liked the author’s treats particularly. 41．How did the author probably feel during the lockdown? A．Lonely. B．Mad. C．Heart-broken. D．Absent-minded. 42．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to? A．The open window. B．The lockdown. C．A need for connection. D．A stay with new neighbors. 43．What does the author want to express through the text? A．He lives an unusual life. B．He longs for a harmonious society. C．Keeping cats is rewarding. D．Befriending nice cats is worthwhile. 试卷第38页，共39页 试卷第39页，共39页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题02 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (23-24高一上•浙江宁波鄞州中学•期中) When my teenaged son became seriously ill, terrible times for my family began. Our once-happy home became tense and depressed. My husband and I were exhausted under the great stress of caring for my son. It was as if we forgot how to communicate-we couldn’t have a simple conversation without a fighting. Our marriage was on the point of breaking up. One evening, my son and I were talking about gifts. I recalled my first Valentine’s present from my husband, a kazoo. I was awkward when I received it because I couldn’t get it to make a sound although I am a professional saxophone player. However hard I tried, it just never worked. The kazoo eventually got packed away and forgotten. But my son was interested and insisted on seeing it. After some trouble, I found it. “You couldn’t get a sound? What’s so hard about it?” my husband asked, amazed. He took the kazoo and blew. Nothing happened. Surprised, he tried again. Still there was no sound. Frustrated, he tried again, only to produce a funny sound like an angry bumblebee trapped in the mouth of a bear. We burst into laughter. My son took a turn to play the kazoo. He did no better than us, causing more laughing. Seeing his face light up, we felt as if the darkness had lifted and a ray of sunshine was let in. It was the best ten minutes of the past couple of years. The mood stayed light for the rest of the evening. It didn’t solve anything. But this experience with the kazoo brought some change in our hearts that always reminds us that there are still things to laugh at and enjoy, and that we can still connect as a family. 1．What affected the relationship of the couple? A．Quarrels between the couple over marriage. B．Different values they shared towards everything. C．Stress and chaos arising from their son’s serious illness. D．Lack of money needed for their son’s medical treatment. 2．Why did the husband blow the kazoo personally? A．He had a love for playing the kazoo. B．He meant to make his son delighted. C．He wanted to ease a feeling of depression. D．He didn’t think it that hard to play the kazoo. 3．What is the turning point of the story? A．My failure to get the kazoo to make a sound. B．The involvement of my husband in playing the kazoo. C．My memory about the Valentine’s present from my husband. D．The failed but funny playing of the kazoo by my husband and son. 4．What does the story mainly tell us? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．Parents are the best teachers. C．Music can cure the hurt souls. D．Misfortunes test the true love. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和丈夫因为儿子得了重病变得关系不好，但偶然一次吹奏卡祖笛的经历却给家庭带来了欢笑声。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“When my teenaged son became seriously ill, terrible times for my family began. Our once-happy home became tense and depressed. My husband and I were exhausted under the great stress of caring for my son. (当我十几岁的儿子得了重病时，我的家庭开始了可怕的时期。我们曾经幸福的家变得紧张和沮丧。我丈夫和我在照顾儿子的巨大压力下筋疲力尽)”可知，儿子大病带来的压力和混乱影响了这对夫妇的关系。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中““You couldn’t get a sound? What’s so hard about it?” my husband asked, amazed. He took the kazoo and blew. Nothing happened. Surprised, he tried again.( “你不能发出一点声音吗？这有什么难的？”我丈夫惊讶地问。他拿起卡祖笛吹了起来。什么也没有发生。他很惊讶，又试了一次)”可知，丈夫要亲自吹卡祖笛因为他认为吹卡祖笛没那么难。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Frustrated, he tried again, only to produce a funny sound like an angry bumblebee trapped in the mouth of a bear. We burst into laughter. My son took a turn to play the kazoo. He did no better than us, causing more laughing.(失望之下，他又试了一次，结果只发出了一种有趣的声音，就像一只愤怒的大黄蜂被困在熊的嘴里一样。我们突然大笑起来。我儿子开始玩卡祖笛。他做得并不比我们好，引起了更多的笑声)”可知，故事的转折点是我丈夫和儿子吹卡祖笛失败了，但很有趣。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“But this experience with the kazoo brought some change in our hearts that always reminds us that there are still things to laugh at and enjoy, and that we can still connect as a family.(但这次和卡祖笛的经历给我们的内心带来了一些改变，它总是提醒我们，仍然有一些事情可以嘲笑和享受，我们仍然可以作为一个家庭联系在一起)”可知，这个故事主要告诉我们凡事都有好的一面。故选A。 Passage 2 (24-25高一上•浙江台州十校•期中) Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do, mine. Her name was Mrs. White. I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! The scrawl (潦草的笔迹) in that worried my mother, so one day when she met Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes. Why she never red-pencilled in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors. Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait...” What my mother gave me was the gist of what she could remember. But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that. And it occurs to me that if Mrs. White had used her red pen more precisely I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher — to restrain (限制) her red pen. To allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression flower — however faultily — like that. I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. I never could quite remember that the “e” went before the “a”. It annoyed my teacher in high school endlessly. Eventually the “e” s and “a” s that were wrong placed in “beautiful” settled into their right places. I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. “Pretty” is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes. And thanks to Mrs. White I had no concerns about writing what I meant, even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t pretty. It’s beautiful. 5．What worried his mother when the author was in kindergarten? A．The teacher’s little attention to the author’s mistakes. B．The teacher’s terrible attitude to the author. C．The author’s unwillingness to go to school. D．The author’s failure in exams and scrawl in homework. 6．What does the underlined word “dampen” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Increase. B．Inspire. C．Awaken. D．Reduce. 7．What can we learn from the fifth paragraph? A．The author finally succeeded in spelling “beautiful” correctly. B．The teacher in high school disliked the author. C．The author owed all his own spelling problems to Mrs. White. D．The author preferred using the word “pretty”. 8．Which of the following can be used to describe Mrs. White? A．Humorous and kind. B．Warm-hearted and careful. C．Honest and brave. D．Far-sighted and understanding. 【答案】5．A 6．D 7．A 8．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己的幼儿园老师如何保护孩子们学习积极性，表达了自己对老师的感激之情。 5．细节理解题。根据第一段“Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do, mine. Her name was Mrs. White.(你还记得你幼儿园老师的名字吗？我知道，我的。她的名字是怀特太太)”和第二段“The scrawl (潦草的笔迹) in that worried my mother, so one day when she met Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes.(字迹潦草的字迹让我母亲很担心，所以有一天，当她在一次家长会上遇到怀特老师时，她问她为什么从不纠正我的错误)”可知，当作者还在幼儿园的时候，老师很少注意作者的错误，这使得作者的母亲很担心。故选A。 6．词句猜测题。根据第三段“The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. (孩子们刚刚开始对使用单词和造句感到兴奋)”可知，孩子们刚开始对遣词造句感到兴奋；结合画线词所在句“I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink.(我不想用红墨水dampen这种热情)”可知，Mrs. White不想用红墨水来减少孩子们的积极性，即降低孩子们的热情。由此可推知，dampen应意为“减弱”，A. Increase.(增加)；B. Inspire.(鼓舞)；C. Awaken.(唤醒)；D.Reduce.(减少)，划线词与D项意思相近。故选D。 7．细节理解题。根据第五段内容尤其是“Eventually the ‘e’ s and ‘a’ s that were wrong placed in ‘beautiful’ settled into their right places.(最终，在“beautiful”一词中放错位置的“e”和“a”找到了正确的位置)” 可知，最后作者以前经常写错的“e”和“a”都回到了它们正确的位置上，即作者最后成功将“beautiful”拼写正确。故选A。 8．推理判断题。通读全文尤其是第三段“Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink...But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that.(怀特太太说：“孩子们刚刚开始对使用单词和造句感到兴奋。我不想用红墨水减少这种热情。但我长大后学会了用充满爱和自信的语言)” 可推知，Mrs. White在教学方面很有远见，能理解孩子们暂时的书写错误。故选D。 Passage 3 (24-25高一上•浙江温州十校•期中) Year-12 student Noah Little has already sat his first Chinese-speaking exam and said it was “the easiest exam I’ve ever done”. That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app. Noah said his love of language was encouraged by his community. “Wagga is a place full of people from different cultures, and sometimes when I meet new people who have trouble speaking English I like to talk to them in their own language,” he said. “I also have a few Chinese friends so I think it will be cool to talk to them in their language.” The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers. Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. “I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn’t powerful enough,” he said. His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news. He said learning computer programming to build the app had been like studying another language. With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. “I’m planning to work for a year and save so I can go on to university as I really want to make a career (事业) out of one of these two topics.” 9．What do we know about Noah? A．He began to learn Chinese at 11. B．He failed his first Chinese exam. C．He likes teaching Chinese to people. D．He gets a lot from learning Chinese. 10．What are included in Noah’s app? A．Advertisements. B．Pieces of world news. C．Suggestions for memorizing words. D．Ways of writing Chinese characters. 11．What has Noah decided to do shortly after high school graduation? A．Look for a job. B．Attend university. C．Develop a new app. D．Learn more languages. 12．Which of the following can best describe Noah? A．Curious and creative. B．Humorous and honest. C．Courageous and caring. D．Outgoing and outspoken. 【答案】9．D 10．D 11．A 12．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了高中生Noah学习中文的经历，学习汉语让他获益良多，他结合自己自学语言的经历开发了一款翻译应用程序。 9．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Year-12 student Noah Little has already sat his first Chinese-speaking exam and said it was “the easiest exam I’ve ever done”. That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app.(12年级学生诺亚·利特尔已经参加了他的第一次中文考试，他说这是“我做过的最简单的考试”。这种观点并不奇怪，因为这位Wagga高中的学生热爱语言，以至于他开发了一款中文翻译应用。)”可知，Noah热爱学习语言，他学习中文的经历促使他开发了一款中文翻译应用程序；由第三段中“The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers.(这位17岁的少年大约在五年前开始自学汉语，然后在11年级开始上远程教育课程。他的语言能力在他在当地一家中餐馆的兼职工作中也派上了用场，他为厨师和顾客翻译菜单。)”可知，学习汉语使Noah在兼职的餐厅更好的为客人服务。由此推知，汉语学习让Noah获益良多。故选D。 10．细节理解题。根据第五段“His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news.(他的应用程序还包括每日一词功能、如何写汉字的课程，以及重要中国新闻的新闻推送。)”可知，Noah的应用程序包括每日一词、教如何写汉字的课程以及推送重要的中国新闻。故选D。 11．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. ‘I’m planning to work for a year and save so I can go on to university as I really want to make a career (事业) out of one of these two topics.’(随着学校即将结束，诺亚说他想在计算机编程和语言方面继续追求自己的兴趣。‘我计划先工作一年，然后攒钱上大学，因为我真的很想在这两个学科中找到一个作为自己的职业。’)”可知，Noah即将毕业，他计划先工作一年攒钱，然后在上大学。由此可知，Noah决定高中毕业后先找一份工作。故选A。 12．推理判断题。根据第三段中“The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. (这位17岁的少年大约在五年前开始自学汉语，然后在11年级开始上远程教育课程。)”、第四段中“Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. ‘I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn’t powerful enough,’ he said.(诺亚说他还掌握了其他七种语言的基本知识。正是在自学语言的时候，诺亚有了翻译工具的想法。他说:‘我决定做一个自己的应用，因为周围的应用不多——所有其他的应用都充斥着广告，翻译功能也不够强大。’)”以及第五段“His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news.(他的应用程序还包括每日一词功能、如何写汉字的课程，以及重要中国新闻的新闻推送。)”可知，Noah自学了汉语并掌握了其他七种语言的基本知识，并结合自己自学语言的经历设计了一款翻译应用程序。由此可知，Noah不仅求知欲强，而且很有创造力。故选A。 主题02 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 (24-25高一上•浙江六校联盟•期中) I’ve been into volunteer work since childhood. As a girl, I volunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing homes, and helped with community cleanup. In college, I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference, which is where I first met and fell in love with my husband Tom, who was on my team of co-volunteers. Since getting married in 2013, we’ve been living in Beirut, Lebanon. My husband works for a nonprofit organization. I have an online coaching business, so I’ve many opportunities to volunteer for youth education. Volunteering has been a way of life for me and I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it. Most of the time, you do feel that you’re making a difference. Once I led a project that provided food to Syrian families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest holiday season in Islam, I filled the food package with nuts, olive oil, sweets... We took the package unannounced and arrived just as the Syrian family was sitting on their floor for breakfast. They had nothing but some bread and a pot of tea. The mother cried when seeing us, saying she would never forget our kindness. Another time, some friends and I volunteered to a distant church with only a few elderly residents. The building was old and the churchyard needed attention. We spent the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the church. I’ll never forget the new life in her eyes as she stayed with us. She couldn’t repair broken doors or pull weeds, but she loved us like nothing else. It breaks my heart to remember this old lady beaming with joy for such small efforts we made. Volunteer work is satisfying not because you have done some work, but because your presence has an effect on people around. Volunteering makes me a better person because it puts my focus on others. It makes me grateful for what I have and gives me a chance to serve people, which gives a deep sense of meaning to my life. 13．When did the author meet her husband for the first time?

This year, out of 300,000 applicants, around 45,000 were chosen as volunteers, with 20 percent coming from nearly 150 countries. These volunteers wore bright green uniforms (制服) to be easily noticed in the purple venues (场馆). They offered help to viewers and media alike, making them an important part of the Olympic experience. On my first day as a reporter, I met a technical problem with my media system account. Thankfully, Chinese volunteer Guo came to help me out. “I hope to improve my language, communication skills, and problem- solving methods through this event,” said 24-year-old Guo from Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province, who was studying wireless communication at the Paris Institute of Digital Technology. As a former professional swimmer, Guo saw this as her chance to take part in the Olympics, though in a different role. Another Chinese volunteer, Yang, faced challenges in managing her job and volunteer duties. Despite giving up her holidays, she felt great pride in contributing to the event. One of my most memorable experiences was meeting with a French volunteer. When I needed help to find the visitor center, a young man on a scooter (小型摩托车) appeared, like a sort of “Monkey King riding a cloud”, and offered to take me there. After helping me, he expressed his admiration for the Beijing Olympics and his desire to visit China again. Volunteers like them were seen everywhere — from bus stops to competition venues — offering directions and helping with a smile. When large crowds left the venues after the events, causing overcrowding, some volunteers sat on high chairs with loudspeakers, providing directions to go outside in both English and French with a smile. These amazing volunteers, truly show the Olympic spirit, making the event and Paris shine even brighter. 21．Why might the volunteers wear bright green uniforms? A．To stand out in the crowd.

The Tolstoy book was later joined by The Little Prince, Sophie’s World, The lliad and a number of novels. Today, he has collected around 25,000 books. His growing collection didn’t go unnoticed. Gutierrez’s neighbors were soon borrowing the books to help with their children’s homework. “There was a lack of them in our neighborhood, so we started to help.” said Gutierrez. The ground floor of Gutierrez’s home is now filled with books, from floor to ceiling. He opened it up as a free library, with the help of his wife Luz Gutierrez and their three children.

Whether we notice or not, these stories—both fiction and non-fiction—guide us throughout our lives. They allow us to see the world through another’s eyes, open up our world and teach us about every subject known to man.(今天，我们从小就开始学习文学——学习我们的历史、遥远的世界和有影响力的人物。不管我们是否注意到，这些故事——包括虚构的和非虚构的——引导着我们的生活。它们让我们透过别人的眼睛看世界，打开我们的世界，教给我们人类所知的每一门学科)”可知，作者首先陈述了有关文学图书对人类的重要性的一些事实，从而引出了Gutierrez从垃圾中搜集旧书籍筹建图书馆的故事。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段“The first book he found was a copy of the classic novel Anna Karenina.(他找到的第一本书是一本经典小说《安娜·卡列尼娜》)”可知，托尔斯泰的《安娜·卡列尼娜》一书是Gutierrez收集到的第一本文学书籍，是他的免费图书馆的起点。故选B。 27．推理判断题。通读文章可知，本文主要讲述清洁工Gutierrez收集别人丢弃的书籍，整理后在自家设置图书馆，以造福邻里和穷人。别人扔掉的旧书，在Gutierrez那里，却成为了宝贝。所以Gutierrez的故事让我们相信“一个人的垃圾可能是另一个人的宝贝。”故选A。 28．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“In an effort to save this knowledge and share it with those less fortunate, a garbage man in, Bogota, Colombia has been saving thrown-away books for 20 years and sharing them with those in need.(为了保存这些知识并与那些不幸的人分享，哥伦比亚波哥大的一名垃圾管理员20年来一直在保存废弃的书籍，并与那些有需要的人分享)”以及后续内容可知，本文主要讲述清洁工Gutierrez搜集旧书籍，为孩子们筹建免费图书馆的事情，B项“清洁工用抢救出来的书建造一座图书馆”最能体现此意。故选B。 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (23-24高一上•浙江宁波余姚中学•期中) When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery. Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up. When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.” “Yeah,” I said. “Safe.” 1．What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London? A．He felt disappointed. B．He gave up his hobby. C．He liked the weather there. D．He had disagreements with his family. 2．What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean? A．Be careful! B．Well done! C．No way! D．Don’t worry! 3．Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London? A．To join the skateboarding. B．To make new friends. C．To learn more tricks. D．To relive his childhood days 4．What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A．Children should learn a second language. B．Sport is necessary for children’s health. C．Children need a sense of belonging D．Seeing the world is a must for children. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者自己的经历，起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue -sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措)”可知，作者刚到伦敦的时候因为没有喜爱的沙滩，不能很好的融入到新的城市，感到很沮丧。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据画线词前文“A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!”(几分钟后，当我学会这个技巧时，我的朋友们敲着他们的板子大声喊道：“做得好！做得好！做得好！)”以及后文“And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. (那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家)”可知，作者掌握了滑板落地技巧，因此他的朋友大声欢呼，因此可以推出本句的Safe是赞美的含义。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段““I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”(我告诉他：“我20年前经常在这里玩滑板，”他缓慢地开始向我点头：“嗨，你好!”)”可推知，作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措。直到我有了一个发现)”以及文章第二段“Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters.(泰晤士河东段的南岸，是英国滑板运动的中心，在那里，滑板不断的碰撞声让你的脑袋嗡嗡作响。我喜欢那里。我很快就和当地的滑板手交了朋友)”及文章倒数第二段“When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.(我15岁时，我全家搬到了华盛顿。我试着在那里玩滑板，但当地人远不那么热情。几年之内，我就放弃了)”以及文章最后一段“When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring.(当我2004年回到伦敦时，我发现自己在南岸闲逛，在那里呆了几个小时。从那以后，我已经回去好几次了，最近一次是今年春天)”可知，作者起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。但是搬去华盛顿，因为没有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友，几年之后就不再玩滑板，作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在于一个孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的回忆。通过作者的经历，作者要表达的是，归属感对于孩子是很重要的。故选C。 Passage 2 (23-24高一上•浙江杭二中•期中) Adrian’s “Amazing Race” started early, when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises.

So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.(她想让他过正常人的生活。因此，在咨询了一位顾问后，她把他送到了私人课程，在那里他学会了读唇语和发音)”及第二段中的“Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school.(后来，艾德里安的父母决定送他去一所普通学校)”可知，艾德里安的父母决定把他送到一所普通的学校，因为他们想让他像普通人一样生活。故选A。 7．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.(于上课的节奏越来越快，他不得不坐在教室的最前面，全神贯注地听老师讲课，这并不容易。但他坚持下来，放学后做了很多额外的工作)”及第三段中的“The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school.(艾德里安和他父母的努力得到了回报。艾德里安以优异的成绩毕业，进入了一所顶尖的高中)”可推知，阿德里安通过课内和课后的努力，终于取得了学习上的成功。故选D。 8．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Adrian’s “Amazing Race” started early, when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises.(艾德里安的“神奇赛跑”很早就开始了，当时他的父母意识到，他还是个婴儿，什么也听不见，甚至大声的噪音也听不见)”及第三段中的“The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. (艾德里安和他父母的努力得到了回报。艾德里安以优异的成绩毕业，进入了一所顶尖的高中。他在校外的生活中也取得了很多成就)”可知，阿德里安是一个天生残疾的孩子，但他通过自己的努力，父母的帮助，却做到了常人都很少做到的事，他是成功的，他和命运来了次比赛，他是胜利者。由此推知，阿德里安的一生被形容为一场“神奇的赛跑”，因为尽管他有残疾，他还是实现了自己的目标。故选C。 Passage 3 (23-24高一上•浙江镇海中学•期中) I was terribly shy as a child. I couldn’t bear to be noticed and if I spoke people would notice me, so I spoke as little as possible. About four years ago, I was hanging out with my friends on a playground. I noticed two little girls, who came to play near where we were. The elder sister pulled the younger girl away from us but couldn’t go far, as her sister threw herself on to the ground crying and refusing to get up. I was longing to comfort her but felt unable to do so. Then I thought: Why am I waiting for someone to give me permission to do what I feel is right? I went over to the little girl and held out my hand. I had merely intended to help her up first but instead she pulled me down into a tight hug. I instantly felt the surge of her emotions flood through me. We knelt on the ground hugging tightly for what felt like a longtime; at one point I tried to move away but she wouldn’t let me go. The elder girl had run off, and reappeared with a man I took to be their father. She pointed at me accusingly (谴责地). It occurred to me that he would probably be angry at a stranger hugging his child and might shout at me or even hit me. I then decided that it didn’t matter if he did hit me. At that moment, the only thing that mattered in the world was comforting the little girl in my arms. To my surprise, the man wasn’t angry. He just nodded and held his arms out to his child. She calmed down and went to him willingly. He carried her away and the sister followed them. I watched them disappear into the crowd. That day, I learned that I can speak, and if-I can’t speak, I can take action, which is often easier. I still find speaking difficult. But now I know that if I need to, I can. 9．Why did the author approach the little girl on the playground? A．To scold her for crying on the playground. B．To join in the play with her and her sister. C．To understand why she was so emotional. D．To offer comfort and assistance to her. 10．Why did the author think it didn’t matter if the father got angry or hit them? A．Her friends would protect her. B．She didn’t care about the consequences. C．She believed the father was friendly. D．She was trying to impress the little girl. 11．What is the main message the author wants to convey through this story? A．The significance of seeking permission before helping others. B．The benefits of taking action and making a difference to others. C．The necessity of caution when interacting with strangers’ kids. D．The importance of overcoming shyness and becoming brave. 【答案】9．D 10．B 11．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了害羞的作者帮助小女孩的过程和感悟。 9．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“I went over to the little girl and held out my hand. I had merely intended to help her up first but instead she pulled me down into a tight hug. (我走向小女孩，伸出我的手。我只是想先扶她起来，但她却把我拉下来紧紧地拥抱了一下。)”和“At that moment, the only thing that mattered in the world was comforting the little girl in my arms. (在那一刻，世界上唯一重要的事情就是安慰我怀里的小女孩。)”可知，作者在操场上接近那个小女孩是想为她提供安慰和帮助。故选D。 10．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“It occurred to me that he would probably be angry at a stranger hugging his child and might shout at me or even hit me. I then decided that it didn’t matter if he did hit me. At that moment, the only thing that mattered in the world was comforting the little girl in my arms. (我突然想到，他可能会因为一个陌生人拥抱他的孩子而生气，可能会对我大喊大叫，甚至打我。然后我决定，如果他真的打了我也没关系。在那一刻，世界上唯一重要的事情就是安慰我怀里的小女孩。)”可知，作者不在乎后果，只想安慰小女孩。故选B。 11．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“That day, I learned that I can speak, and if-I can’t speak, I can take action, which is often easier. I still find speaking difficult. But now I know that if I need to, I can. (那一天，我知道我可以说话，如果我不能说话，我可以采取行动，这通常更容易。我还是觉得说话困难。但现在我知道，如果我需要，我能做到。)”可知，作者想通过这个故事传达给读者，即使作者没有克服害羞，但是他的行动帮助了别人，因此，作者想要告诉我们采取行动并对他人产生影响的好处。故选B。 Passage 4 (23-24高一上•浙江杭州学军中学•期中) I started to worry when the golf car taking me, Steve, and our suitcases stopped in the middle of the Maine forest. A yurt (蒙古包) is a tent tall enough to stand in and wide enough to fit a big family. But I didn’t see it anywhere. “You hike from here,” said the driver, pointing down a weedy (杂草丛生的) path. The woods were darkening, and Steve encouraged me to pick up the pace. My summer sandals (凉鞋) slipped on the wet leaves. Steve and I spent a good hour until we spotted the light of the yurt. Steve skillfully lit a fire. We ate some sandwiches, had a few beers, and settled in for a good night’s sleep. But I couldn’t relax. I shook Steve awake. “The door to the yurt doesn’t lock,” I said. “What if a bear wanders into the camp?” “Don’t worry. Moose (驼鹿) are a bigger problem here than bears,” he said. “Well, what if someone decides to rob us? Or what if one of the locals wants to teach us a lesson?” “OK,” Steve said with a heavy sigh. He forcefully placed a chair under the door handle. “There, additional protection.” He smiled. “And even if someone gets through the door, you’ll have time to grab that book and use it as a weapon.” I laughed. Sleep moved in. We could enjoy our weekend. When we “checked out” three mornings later. I was the first one up. That’s when I realized that the door opened ... out. The chair had been serving no purpose other than to keep me quiet. “So,” I said, as we walked heavily back to meet the golf car. “How else have you been ‘handling’ me this weekend?” He smiled. “Well. I decided not to tell Von about the snake that lived in the firewood.” 12．What can be learned from the first two paragraphs? A．I was quite looking forward to the trip.

Or what if one of the locals wants to teach us a lesson?” “OK,” Steve said with a heavy sigh. He forcefully placed a chair under the door handle. “There, additional protection.” He smiled. “And even if someone gets through the door, you’ll have time to grab that book and use it as a weapon.” I laughed. Sleep moved in. We could enjoy our weekend.(“那么，如果有人决定抢劫我们呢？或者如果当地的某个人想要给我们一个教训呢？”“好的，”史蒂夫叹了口气说。他用力地把椅子放在门把手上。“看，额外的保护。”他笑了。“而且，即使有人进了门，你也有时间拿起那本书把它当作武器。”我笑了。睡意袭来。我们可以享受我们的周末了)”可知推，史蒂夫把椅子放在门把手下面的真正原因是让作者不再担心。故选B项。 14．推理判断题。根据第三段“Steve skillfully lit a fire. We ate some sandwiches, had a few beers, and settled in for a good night’s sleep. But I couldn’t relax. I shook Steve awake. “The door to the yurt doesn’t lock,” I said. “What if a bear wanders into the camp?”(史蒂夫熟练地生起了火。我们吃了些三明治，喝了几杯啤酒，安顿下来准备好好睡一觉。但我无法放松。我摇醒了史蒂夫。“蒙古包的门锁不上，”我说，“如果一只熊闯进营地怎么办？”)”以及第四段““Don’t worry. Moose (驼鹿) are a bigger problem here than bears,” he said.(“别担心。这里的驼鹿比熊更成问题，”他说)”可知，史蒂夫能熟练地生活，并且知道驼鹿比熊更成问题。由此推知，他可能有在蒙古包里睡觉的经验。故选B项。 15．主旨大意题。根据第一段“I started to worry when the golf car taking me, Steve, and our suitcases stopped in the middle of the Maine forest. A yurt (蒙古包) is a tent tall enough to stand in and wide enough to fit a big family. But I didn’t see it anywhere.(当载着我、史蒂夫和我们行李的高尔夫球车停在缅因州森林中间时，我开始感到担心。蒙古包是一种可以站立并且足够宽敞可以容纳一个大家庭的帐篷。但是，我任何地方都没看到它)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要主要讲述了作者在蒙古包住宿时遇到的各种问题，如担心熊进入蒙古包、担心有人抢劫等，最终安全度过了这次住宿经历。由此可知，D项“The Time I Survived a Yurt(我在蒙古包里幸存的时光)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 Passage 5 (23-24高一上•浙江台金七校•期中) The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 16．What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Stress. B．Threat. C．Shame. D．Glory. 17．According to the author, what contributes to her victory in the Softball Throw event? A．Her confidence in her sports skills. B．The efforts she put into exercising. C．Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D．The strong influence of her father. 18．What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A．She changed the focus into reading. B．She stuck to working out. C．She regularly exercised on weekends. D．She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 19．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To express her love for sports. B．To show her father’s guidance on sports. C．To stress the advantages of physical exercise. D．To share her childhood memories about sports. 【答案】16．C 17．D 18．B 19．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从小热爱体育，并且在父亲的指导和培训下第一次尝到了运动胜利的滋味。于是作者开始参与各种体育运动，并把这种对体育的热爱持续到了成年。 16．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams.(就我这个年纪来说，我个子很小，更像是一个书虫，而不是一个体育爱好者，我曾遭受过被各种体操队最后一名选中的特殊humiliation)”可知，作者的身材矮小，更像是一个书虫，并且在各种体操队都是最后一个被选中，这是一种耻辱，故划线词意思是“耻辱”。故选C。 17．细节理解题。根据第一段“In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch.(在垒球比赛中，我第一次尝到了体育胜利的滋味。这要归功于我的第一个教练，我的父亲。他每天早上在家举重。他给我们每个人都买了棒球手套和帽子，在温暖的月份里，我们花几个小时玩接球游戏)”可知，作者认为她在垒球比赛中获胜是因为她父亲的强烈影响。故选D。 18．细节理解题。根据最后一段“So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation.(因此，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但这种早期的基础在成年后继续成为运动和健身的重点，甚至在度假时也被认为是重要的)”可知，作者成年后保持了对运动的热爱。故选B。 19．推理判断题。根据第一段中“The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school.(我第一次意识到我对体育比赛的热爱是在小学的Field Day期间)”和最后一段“So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation.(因此，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但早期的基础在成年后演变成了一种专注于运动和健身的方式，即使在度假时也被认为是必不可少的)”结合主要讲述了作者从小热爱体育，并且在父亲的指导和培训下第一次尝到了运动胜利的滋味。于是作者开始参与各种体育运动，并把这种对体育的热爱持续到了成年。可推知作者写这篇文章的目的是表达她对运动的热爱。故选A。 主题02 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 (24-25高一上•浙江宁波余姚中学•期中) In December 2004, I had just become a professional photographer and was working on a project about communities who live on the sea, known as sea nomads (海上游牧民族). I was living with members of the Chao-Ley tribe (部落) on a small island in southern Thailand. We didn’t share a language and relied on body language to communicate. I went out to sea with them regularly. One morning, I was due to set out with a group of six Chao-Ley fishermen in a small boat. The sea looked different, with the water totally still. About 20 minutes after we left and a few miles out in the open sea, one of the fishermen pointed to a small white spot far in the distance. It was getting bigger and bigger very quickly. This was a tsunami (海啸) wave speeding through the ocean. Usually, the deeper the water, the weaker the wave. But we weren’t out far enough to be safe, nor close enough to shore to make it back in time. We were stuck. I began to feel really scared. The captain told the six of us where to sit, so we would balance out the boat. My camera was in my backpack. I wanted to capture the scene, but I couldn’t. Any movement would imbalance the boat. Suddenly there was a huge noise. The wave hit the boat, but in a flash the skilled captain managed to swerve (使突然转向) us up and onto the wave. Then the boat moved from the tip of the wave down into safe waters. Our eyes and mouths were wide open, and everyone let out heavy sighs. The captain had saved us all. Surviving gave me a deep understanding of how important life can be. I’ve been going back to Southeast Asia almost every year since. The photography project has become a thank-you to the people who saved my life. The picture I wanted to take on the boat remains “the one that got away” – I think every photographer has one. But mine changed my life. 20．What happened before the author set out with the fishermen? A．The captain wanted to cancel the trip. B．He noticed something unusual. C．They saw a white spot in the distance. D．It looked like it was about to rain. 21．When did the author start to feel frightened? A．When fishermen on the boat felt nervous. B．When he realized they were trapped. C．When the boat was about to be hit. D．When the boat shook violently. 22．What was the author doing when the tsunami wave hit the boat? A．Helping the captain swerve. B．Taking a photo of the wave. C．Trying not to move. D．Reaching for his backpack. 23．What did the author learn from his experience? A．We should have the courage to take risks. B．Opportunity never knocks twice. C．Life is too short to be wasted. D．Sometimes regrets in life can save us. 【答案】20．B 21．B 22．C 23．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在与六个Chao-Ley 渔民乘坐一条小船出海时遭遇了海啸，英勇的船长救了船上的所有人。 20．细节理解题。根据第二段中“One morning, I was due to set out with a group of six Chao-Ley fishermen in a small boat. The sea looked different, with the water totally still.”（一天早晨，我正要和一群六个Chao-Ley 渔民乘坐一条小船出发。大海看起来不一样了，海水完全静止了。）可知，在作者和六个Chao-Ley 渔民准备出发时，作者注意到了一些不寻常的：大海看起来不一样了，海水完全静止了。故选B。 21．细节理解题。根据第四段“Usually, the deeper the water, the weaker the wave. But we weren’t out far enough to be safe, nor close enough to shore to make it back in time. We were stuck. I began to feel really scared.”（通常，水越深，波浪就越弱。但我们还没到安全的地步，也没到及时回到岸边。我们被困住了。我开始感到非常害怕。）可知，当作者意识到他们被困住的时候，开始感到害怕。故选B。 22．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The captain told the six of us where to sit, so we would balance out the boat. My camera was in my backpack. I wanted to capture the scene, but I couldn’t. Any movement would imbalance the boat. ”（船长告诉我们六个人坐在哪里，这样我们就能使船平衡。我的相机在我的背包里。我想捕捉现场，但我做不到。任何动作都会使船失去平衡。）可知，为了让船能平衡，船长告知作者在内的六人坐在相应的位置。尽管作者项拿出相机拍摄，但任何动作都会使船失去平衡。可推知，海啸袭击船的时候，作者尽力保持不动。故选C。 23．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Surviving gave me a deep understanding of how important life can be. I’ve been going back to Southeast Asia almost every year since. The photography project has become a thank-you to the people who saved my life. The picture I wanted to take on the boat remains “the one that got away” – I think every photographer has one. But mine changed my life.”（生存让我深刻理解了生命的重要性。从那以后，我几乎每年都回东南亚。这个摄影项目已经变成了对那些救我一命的人的感谢。我想在船上拍的照片仍然是“那个侥幸逃脱的人”——我想每个摄影师都有一张。但我的生活改变了我的人生。）可知，经历了那次与死神的邂逅，作者深刻理解了生命的重要性。虽说在那次灾难时，作为摄影者，作者没有拍到现场的照片，但船长的英勇让他们活了下来。由此推知，从自己的经历中作者意识到有时候生活中的遗憾可以拯救我们。故选D。 Passage 2 (23-24高一上•浙江金华一中•期中) Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue, and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target of laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to buy him new clothes. Two of the kids piling on were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their unfavorable words felt like bullying (欺凌) and seemed to be slowly crushing (击垮) Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked (被突然领悟) . “I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets. The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably nervous about being called out by the larger boys. “He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’” He then handed Todd a bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers. Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told CBS News. “Surprised and upset, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham. “I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd told CBS News. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he called it “the best day of my entire life, basically.” 24．What can we learn about Todd and his family from the passage? A．Todd worked hard to earn his living. B．Todd’s family lived in extreme poverty. C．Todd’s mother did nothing to change the situation.

C．Todd received no apology from Garrett and Graham. D．Todd was shocked but pleased at the kids’ help to him. 27．What does the author want to convey (传达) through the passage? A．Helping the weak out is a virtue (美德) . B．Accepting and living with each other’s weaknesses. C．Hoping for the best while preparing for the worst. D．Making friends with those having common interests. 【答案】24．B 25．A 26．D 27．A 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了Michael Todd因为家境贫困没有衣服替换经常被嘲笑，Graham和Garrett后来意识到这是不对的，于是给Todd送衣服和鞋，帮助他的故事。 24．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. (迈克尔·托德上学的头三个星期每天都穿同样的衣服。)”和“But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to buy him new clothes. (但托德无能为力。他母亲根本买不起给他买新衣服。)”可知，Todd家境贫穷。故选B项。 25．词义猜测题。根据划线词前文““I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. (“我觉得我需要做点什么，”格雷厄姆告诉CBS新闻)”及后文“They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets.(他们回到家，翻遍了自己的抽屉和壁橱)”可知，此处表示Graham和Garrett策划了一个计划。A. Formed形成，产生；B. Proved证明；C. Confirmed确认；D. Rejected拒绝。hatch与form意思相近。故选A项。 26．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Todd was understandably nervous about being called out by the larger boys. (可以理解，陶德对被那些体型较大的男孩叫出来感到紧张。)”及第四段中“Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told CBS News. “Surprised and upset, completely.” (托德惊呆了。“我非常高兴，”他告诉CBS新闻。“完全是惊讶和不安。”)”可以推知，Todd对孩子们的帮助感到震惊，但也很高兴。故选D项。 27．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“He then handed Todd a bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers. (然后他递给托德一个袋子。里面是干净的衬衫和短裤，还有一双全新的new Balance运动鞋。)”及最后一段中“Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he called it “the best day of my entire life, basically.” (回想加勒特和格雷厄姆把他叫进大厅的那一天，他称之为“基本上是我一生中最美好的一天”)”可知，Graham和Garrett知道Todd家庭贫困，最后伸出援手，作者通过本文想要告诉我们，当我们看到别人不幸时，我们应该努力帮助他们，帮助弱者是一种美德。故选A项。 Passage 3 (23-24高一上•浙江9+1联盟•期中) In 1867, Caroline Shawk Brooks and her husband, Samuel, had a farm in Arkansas. Life on the farm was not easy. From sunrise to sunset, Caroline and Samuel milked cows, gardened, and picked cotton. This left Caroline no time for her dream of becoming an artist. Time was not the only problem. Money was a worry too. The cotton crops were failing. What could Caroline and Samuel do? Caroline decided to make butter (黄油) from their cows’milk and sell it at market. But other farms also made and sold butter. How would Caroline set her butter apart from the rest? This is where Caroline’s artistic talent came in. To draw attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures (雕塑). She used many different tools, such as butter paddles (搅拌器的浆叶), broom straws, and tree sticks. She also put the butter in a shallow tin pan, which sat in a larger tin pan filled with ice to stop the butter sculpture from melting. Caroline’s butter sculptures were a hit. Before long, she was displaying them at fairs and exhibitions. One of her largest butter sculptures was a life-size statue called A Study in Butter. It was transported all the way to Paris for the 1878 world’s fair. Caroline also made sculptures using marble (大理石). She eventually opened a studio in New York City where she created many marble sculptures, some of which were shown at the 1893 world’s fair in Chicago. But Caroline never stopped making butter art. She considered butter a superior material to work with. At the 1893 fair, she also displayed her butter techniques with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus. Caroline Shawk Brooks died in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1913. She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor. 24．Why did Caroline make butter sculptures? A．To realize her dream. B．To make her butter stand out. C．To make her farm famous. D．To display her sculptures at the fair. 25．What do we know about Caroline and her sculptures? A．Caroline made her art works all by machine. B．The sculptures were all made from cow's milk. C．Ice was used to keep the butter sculptures in shape. D．Caroline stopped making sculptures after being world-famous. 26．Which words best describe Caroline? A．Talented and successful. B．Confident and caring. C．Creative and rich. D．Brave and famous. 27．What can be the best title for the text? A．A Farming Pioneer. B．A Great Sculptor. C．The Butter Sculptures. D．The Butter Artist. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．A 27．D 【导语】本文是记叙文。本文讲述了Caroline Shawk Brooks 是美国第一位黄油雕塑家，她在农场生活中发展了她的艺术才能，并在展览会和世界博览会上展示了她的作品。 24．细节理解题。根据第三段“Caroline decided to make butter (黄油) from their cows’milk and sell it at market. But other farms also made and sold butter. How would Caroline set her butter apart from the rest? This is where Caroline’s artistic talent came in. To draw attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures (雕塑).(卡洛琳决定用他们家的牛奶制作黄油，并在市场上出售。但其他农场也生产和销售黄油。卡洛琳是怎么把她的黄油和其他的区别开来的?卡洛琳的艺术天赋就在这里发挥了。为了吸引人们对她的黄油的关注，她开始制作小型黄油雕塑)”可知，卡洛琳做黄油雕塑是为了让她的黄油在市场上脱颖而出。故选B项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“She used many different tools, such as butter paddles (搅拌器的浆叶), broom straws, and tree sticks. She also put the butter in a shallow tin pan, which sat in a larger tin pan filled with ice to stop the butter sculpture from melting.(她使用了许多不同的工具，比如黄油桨、扫帚秆和树枝。她还把黄油放在一个浅锡锅里，浅锡锅放在一个更大的装满冰的锡锅里，以防止黄油雕塑融化)”可知，冰被用来保持黄油雕塑的形状。故选C项。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段“Caroline’s butter sculptures were a hit. Before long, she was displaying them at fairs and exhibitions. One of her largest butter sculptures was a life-size statue called A Study in Butter. It was transported all the way to Paris for the 1878 world’s fair.(卡洛琳的黄油雕塑很受欢迎。没过多久，她就在集市和展览会上展出了。她最大的黄油雕塑之一是真人大小的雕像，名为《黄油的研究》。它被一路运到巴黎参加1878年的世界博览会)”以及第五段“Caroline also made sculptures using marble (大理石). She eventually opened a studio in New York City where she created many marble sculptures, some of which were shown at the 1893 world’s fair in Chicago.(卡洛琳还用大理石做雕塑。她最终在纽约开了一家工作室，在那里她创作了许多大理石雕塑，其中一些在1893年芝加哥世界博览会上展出)”以及最后一段“She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor.(她被认为是美国第一个著名的黄油雕刻家)”可知，卡罗琳能用黄油和大理石进行雕刻，且被广泛认可，所以是有才华的且成功的。故选A项。 27．主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“But Caroline never stopped making butter art. She considered butter a superior material to work with. At the 1893 fair, she also displayed her butter techniques with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus.(但卡洛琳从未停止制作黄油艺术品。她认为黄油是一种绝好的材料。在1893年的博览会上，她还用克里斯托弗·哥伦布的雕塑展示了她的黄油技术)”以及最后一段“Caroline Shawk Brooks died in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1913. She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor.(卡洛琳·肖克·布鲁克斯于1913年在密苏里州的圣路易斯去世。她被认为是美国第一个著名的黄油雕刻家)”纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了Caroline Shawk Brooks 是美国第一位黄油雕塑家，她在农场生活中发展了她的艺术才能，并在展览会和世界博览会上展示了她的作品，所以D项“The Butter Artist.(黄油艺术家)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 Passage 4 (23-24高一上•浙江杭州十四中•期中) I just flew from Berlin, Germany, to Atlanta,Gcorgia, and it took me 24 hours due lo the weather-related delay during my stopover in New York. Like many other passengers, I was so worm out, annoyed, and helpless that I could barely hold it together. The pilot, called Thiemy Beyeler, was different. He left the flight deck and walked to the dissatisfied passengers to apologize and comfort them.The pilot's appropriate behavior set the tone and ensured no one got angry. It reminded me of the beauty of “elegance(优雅)under pressure”. Thierry Beyeler was a pilot with Swiss International Air Lines, for which he flew various aircraft. During the delay, I had the chance to speak to Beyelor and learn about his experience as a pilot. He said, “Flying is a bit like eating chocolate. I love every flight. However, when you have 16 flights in four days, then that's too much chocolate for me..." As for crisis(危机)situations, he did have a few. “Once, I had an engine failure, but that's rare, and we handled it. Another time, we had smoke in the cabin,and we went to land quickly. In end, it was just the air conditioning having some problems…."He believes, "As Murphty's law puts it, 'What can be wrong will go wrong'. So think about it and try to prepare mentally." Beyeler continued, "Compared with cars, a flight is a high-risk environment; it's not like riding a bike. Even if there was a minor error, it could have fatal consequences. Every pilot is quite professional in the field. But it is the strong mindset(观念模式)in the chaos(混乱)that plays the key role. Humans stop in technical systems to solve items countless times a day, and it would be dangerous if the pilot became nervous and forgot that." I’ve been touched by Beycler's words. I understand that human factors, including confidence, courage, sensibility, and emotional intelligence are becoming more and more important in today's world. 28．How did Beyeler sound facing the long delay according to the text? A．Discouraged and tired. B．Calm and positive. C．Helpless and anxious. D．Annoyed and cold-hearted. 29．What does Beycler want to show by mentioning"eating chocolate"? A．Flying brings him much fun. B．Flying involves various crisis situations. C．Too many flight tasks can be unacceptable for him. D．Too many crisis situations have Happened to him. 30．What does Beyeler consider important for pilots during crises? A．Gaining a good sense of time. B．Having great strength of mind. C．Knowing all the technical systems well. D．Having a good grasp of professional knowledge. 31．What did the author think of his communication with Beyeler? A．Boring. B．Frightening. C．Rewarding D．Confusing 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．B 31．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者通过和飞行员Thierry Beyeler交流了解到飞行员这一职业的特点以及高要求，作者也获益匪浅。 28．推理判断题。根据第二段“The pilot, called Thierry Beyeler, was different. He left the flight deck and walked to the dissatisfied passengers to apologize and comfort them. The pilot’s appropriate behavior set the tone and ensured no one got angry.(飞行员Thierry Beyeler则不同。他离开驾驶舱，走向不满的乘客，向他们道歉并安慰他们。飞行员的得体行为奠定了基调，确保没有人生气)”可知，面对长时间的延误Beyeler既冷静又乐观。故选B。 29．推理判断题。根据第三段“He said, ‘Flying is a bit like eating chocolate. I love every flight. However, when you have16 flights in four days, then that’s too much chocolate for me...’(他说：‘飞行有点像吃巧克力。我喜欢每一次飞行。然而，当你在4天内要飞16次航班时，那对我来说巧克力太多了……’)”可推知，Beyeler提到“吃巧克力”是想说明太多的飞行任务对他来说是无法接受的。故选C。 30．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But it is the strong mindset(观念模式)in the chaos(混乱)that plays the key role. (但在混乱中发挥关键作用的是坚强的心态。)”可知，Beyeler认为，在危机中，对飞行员来说，有强大的意志力是至关重要的。故选B。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’ve been touched by Beycler's words. I understand that human factors, including confidence, courage, sensibility, and emotional intelligence are becoming more and more important in today's world. (我被Beyeler的话感动了。我明白，人的因素，包括自信、勇气、责任和情商，在当今世界变得越来越重要)”可推知，作者认为与Beyeler的交流是有益的。故选C。 Passage 5 (24-25高一上•浙江宁波北仑中学•期中) Orion Jean is a kid on a mission. His goal is to spread kindness and inspire others to do the same. It all started last year when Orion’s elementary school teacher suggested that the then 9-year-old enter the National Kindness Speech Contest. “I decided that I was just going to give it a shot and see how it would go,” Orion tells us. He gave a speech about how kindness could “change a nation,” and won the competition, receiving a $500 cash prize. He quickly realized he wasn’t going to use all of that money. “I’m a kid,” he says, “I have everything that I could ever want. But there are people who don’t.” Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign — a series of events to help others. Orion describes the campaign as “just an idea where I would spread kindness and people would be able to join the race by spreading kindness in their own communities.” He decided to start by helping children with health problems in the hospital, saying, “What better way to amuse a kid than a toy?” So, he used his winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. He collected over 600 toys, which were donated to the Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas in 2021. But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community. Race to Kindness partnered with a local nonprofit organization to help get 100, 000 meals donated and to feed people who might not have had a meal for Thanksgiving. The result? “We were able to not only reach but also surpass our goal of 100, 000 meals,” he says. In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”. When asked why he thinks of books, “I’m a huge book fan,” Orion shares, “and studies show that children who have books in their homes do better academically.” 32．What does the underlined words “give it a shot” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Have a try. B．Give a hand. C．Get a big head. D．Have second thoughts. 33．What helps Orion bring about the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign? A．His great passion for racing. B．His unused toys all over the place. C．Family education from his childhood. D．Heartbreaking scenes in the hospital. 34．Which of the following can best describe the young boy Orion? A．Creative and childish. B．Kind and straightforward. C．Easy-going and sympathetic. D．Generous and ambitious. 35．What can be inferred about why Orion chose to start the “Race to Kindness” campaign with toys for children in hospitals? A．He believed toys could be a great way to bring happiness to ill children. B．He wanted to become famous by organizing a large toy collection event. C．His parents advised him to use toys because they are easy to gather. D．He thought it would be a quick way to spend his prize money. 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．D 35．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一个有使命感的孩子Orion Jean，他认为善良是一种美德，并以身行善，发起了一系列慈善活动，帮助了很多有需要的人。 32．词句猜测题。根据第二段“I decided that I was just going to give it a shot and see how it would go(我决定打算give it a shot，看看会怎么样)”以及“He gave a speech(他发表了一次演讲)”可知，Orion决定试一试（参加慈善演讲比赛），看看结果会是什么样的。因此猜测，划线部分意为“试一试”。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据第四段的“Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign — a series of events to help others.(Orion说，他的父母总是告诉他“善良是一种美德，我们都应该努力拥有”，于是他想出了“Race to Kindness”活动的主意——通过一系列活动来帮助他人)”可知，小时候Orion所受的家庭教育让他有了“Race to Kindness”活动的主意。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段的“So, he used his winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. He collected over 600 toys, which were donated to the Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas in 2021.(所以，他用他的奖金买了尽可能多的玩具，并发起了一个玩具博览会来收集更多的玩具。他收集了600多个玩具，这些玩具于2021年捐赠给了达拉斯的儿童健康医院)”可知，Orion把用自己的奖金买的玩具和收集来的玩具送给别人，由此推知他很慷慨；根据第五段的“But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community. (但Orion才刚刚起步。玩具展结束后，他发起了一项雄心勃勃的“Race to 100, 000 meals”，以帮助他所在社区的粮食不安全的人)”以及最后一段的“In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”.(2022年5月，这位慈善活动家决定发起“Race to 500, 000 Books”，以帮助那些买不起书或生活在“书沙漠”中的家庭)”可知，Orion不断发起慈善活动，由此推知他非常有进取心。故选D。 35．推理判断题。根据第四段中“He decided to start by helping children with health problems in the hospital, saying, “What better way to amuse a kid than a toy?”(他决定从帮助医院里有健康问题的孩子开始，他说：“还有什么比玩具更能让孩子开心的呢？”)”可知，Orion认为玩具是给生病的孩子带来快乐的好方法。故选A。 Passage 6 (24-25高一上•浙江杭州学军中学•期中) At St. Francis High School in La Canada, Calif. ,there’s something to be said about math teacher Jim Connor. Truth is, Connor can be a bit of a drudge. But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.” And for years, the kids thought that’s all there was to him — until last November, when senior Pat McGoldrick learned they didn’t know the half of him. Pat was in charge of a student blood drive and had just come to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for a meeting. And he says it was weird: whenever he told someone he went to St. Francis High School, they all said, “Oh, you must know Jim Connor. Isn’t he wonderful? ” “It was disbelief, really,” Pat says. “It was almost kind of finding this alter ego (另一面) that he has.” Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort their children. “They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.” “I just like them and relate to them somehow,” Connor says. Connor has never been married; he has no kids of his own. But he has fallen hard for these babies. “I’ve always respected him, but now it’s to an even different degree — really to the point where I try to emulate him,” Pat says. “He’s the epitome of a man of service.” 36．What do we learn from paragraph 2?

D．He falls hard for those sick kids so he decided not to have his own. 39．What is the best title for the text? A．Bonding with babies in need of love B．A real lesson is life through learning calculus C．Everybody keeps something under his hat D．Tough teacher has a soft heart 【答案】36．B 37．A 38．C 39．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了加州拉加拿的圣弗朗西斯高中数学老师吉姆·康纳的故事。 36．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”(但这位70岁的越战老兵说，他来这里不是为了娱乐学生。“当人们说学校应该是有趣的时候，我都快疯了，”他说。“我的意思是，如果可以的话当然很好，但你不能让学校变得有趣。”)”可知，康纳对学生要求很高。故选B。 37．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort their children. (在献血中心里，帕特发现一块牌子，上面列出了医院里所有的顶级献血者，包括记录保持者吉姆·康纳。然后，他发现了更难以置信的事情：只要康纳不用微积分折磨孩子，他就会去拥抱生病的婴儿。在过去的20年里，吉姆每周有3天在医院做志愿者，在父母不能做的时候参与到一项活动中来，抱着，喂着，安慰着他们的孩子)”可知，康纳先生不仅捐了血，还贡献了自己的时间。故选A。 38．细节理解题。根据第六段““They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.”(“他们往往会因为他而平静下来，”艾琳护士说。“他们往往和他在一起很放松。他们和他一起入睡。”)”可推知，康纳先生有能力和那些被他抱着的孩子们交流。故选C。 39．主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”(但这位70岁的越战老兵说，他来这里不是为了娱乐学生。“当人们说学校应该是有趣的时候，我都快疯了，”他说。“我的意思是，如果可以的话当然很好，但你不能让学校变得有趣。”)”可知，康纳对学生要求很高，是一位严格的老师。根据第五、六段内容可知，康纳先生还很有爱心，而且有能力和那些被他抱着的孩子们交流，有一颗柔软的心。由此可知，D项“Tough teacher has a soft heart(严厉的老师有一颗柔软的心)”符合文意，最适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 Passage 7 (24-25高一上•浙江宁波余姚中学•期中) I was scared when a loud noise in my apartment woke me in the middle of the night. I rushed to turn on my bedroom light and discovered it was a cat. Here’s the thing — I do not have a cat. And this was not the first time this particular cat had demanded my attention. I immediately calmed down and realized my error — I had left a window open. I approached to entertain my house-guest by giving her some treats and a scratch under her collar (颈圈). Like so many others, I shifted from working in an office to working from home. Living alone can be isolating at the best of times. It was around the one-month mark of the lockdown when I heard a meow outside my window. Sitting outside on the grass was a long-haired, golden-colored cat. I opened the window, and this beautiful cat jumped into my home. Her short visit brightened my day. A few days later, I heard a familiar meow. I saw a name tag on her collar: Mika. On this second visit, I also noticed Mika was cross-eyed, which only made her more lovely. Over the next few weeks, Mika would stop by occasionally. Sometimes, she only stayed for a few minutes; other times, she would wander around my apartment much longer. Each visit brightened me. Mika even helped me connect with some new neighbors, who asked if Mika was my cat. Apparently, Mika visited them as well. While the lockdown has been awful, I suspect I might not have ever met Mika if it had not happened. But perhaps she came by at this time because she sensed a need for connection on my part. While dogs are said to be man’s best friend, a good cat can be everyone’s best friend. 40．What do we know about the cat from the first three paragraphs? A．She used to go out at night. B．She entered through the window. C．She annoyed the neighbors badly. D．She liked the author’s treats particularly. 41．How did the author probably feel during the lockdown? A．Lonely. B．Mad. C．Heart-broken. D．Absent-minded. 42．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to? A．The open window. B．The lockdown. C．A need for connection. D．A stay with new neighbors. 43．What does the author want to express through the text? A．He lives an unusual life. B．He longs for a harmonious society. C．Keeping cats is rewarding. D．Befriending nice cats is worthwhile. 【答案】40．B 41．A 42．B 43．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在疫情期间与一只名叫Mika的猫咪意外相遇，并因此获得了慰藉和快乐的故事。 40．细节理解题。根据第一段“I rushed to turn on my bedroom light and discovered it was a cat. (我急忙打开卧室的灯，发现是一只猫)”以及第三段“I immediately calmed down and realized my error — I had left a window open. (我立刻冷静下来，意识到我的错误 —— 我留了一扇窗户开着)”可知，这只猫是通过开着的窗户进入屋里的。故选B。 41．推理判断题。根据第四段“Living alone can be isolating at the best of times. It was around the one⁃month mark of the lockdown when I heard a meow outside my window. (独自生活即使在最好的时候也是孤立的。大约是在封锁一个月的时候，我听到了窗外有喵喵叫声)”可推知，在封锁期间，作者感到孤独。故选A。 42．词句猜测题。根据第七段“While the lockdown has been awful, I suspect I might not have ever met Mika if it had not happened. (尽管疫情封城很糟糕，但是我觉得如果不封城的话，我可能就不会遇到Mika.)”可知，作者认为疫情封城给他的生活带了很多不便，但却让他遇到了这只名为Mika的猫。故it应当指代疫情封城的政策。故选B。 43．推理判断题。根据全文内容以及最后一段“While dogs are said to be man’s best friend, a good cat can be everyone’s best friend. (虽然狗被认为是人类最好的朋友，但一只好的猫咪也可以成为每个人最好的朋友)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在疫情期间与一只名叫Mika的猫咪意外相遇，她与友善的猫咪建立友谊是非常值得的。故选D。 试卷第38页，共39页 试卷第39页，共39页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
