Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·成都七中期中)At 74 James Patterson has sold many copies of his novels globally，making him one of the highest paid authors in the world.“I do not work for a living.I play for a living.I love doing it，” Patterson tells CNBC.But Patterson's road to success didn't happen overnight.He started writing as a parergon(副业) and he faced a lot of rejections before getting his first book published. Patterson grew up in the woods in Newburgh，New York with an insurance salesman father and a schoolteacher mother.“Despite having dreams of being a writer，the idea always seemed presumptuous，” Patterson says.“But after reading books by James Joyce，they really turned me on to reading，and then I started writing，” he adds. After college，Patterson got his first job as a junior copy writer at the advertising agency J．Walter Thompson.While climbing the corporate ladder，Patterson wrote his first book，The Thomas Berryman Number in the mid-70s.“The book got turned down by 31 publishers，” Patterson says.But after it was finally published in 1976，then it won an Edgar Award for best first novel.The Edgar Award，which is named after Edgar Allan Poe，honors the best writers in mystery fiction and non-fiction. Despite publishing his first book at age 26，Patterson didn't have a best-seller until he was 40.“It wasn't like all of a sudden，” he says.In fact，Patterson kept his day job for decades and got promoted to CEO of J．Walter Thompson in 1988.Patterson says during that time，he would read well over 100 books a year to help spark his creativity.“I have a huge imagination and I'm constantly asking，‘What about this? What about that？’” he says. Despite his success，Patterson says he doesn't like to give advice，especially about writing.But he credits his own success to his work ethic and passion.“I also don't take myself too seriously，” he says.“Yeah，I sell a lot of books，but so what？” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作家詹姆斯·帕特森的写作历程及成名过程。 1．What does the underlined word “presumptuous” mean in paragraph 2? A．Unrealistic. B．Contradictory. C．Imaginative. D．Inspiring. 解析　词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Patterson grew up in the woods...a schoolteacher mother.(帕特森在纽约纽堡的树林中长大，父亲是保险推销员，母亲是教师。)”和该段最后一句“‘But after reading books by James Joyce...writing，’ he adds.(他说：‘但是读了詹姆斯·乔伊斯的书之后，它们真的让我对阅读产生了兴趣，然后我开始写作。’)”可推知，在这样一个父母工作比较稳定的家庭里，作家这个职业相对有些不切实际、不稳定。unrealistic不现实的；contradictory相互矛盾的；imaginative富于想象力的；inspiring鼓舞人心的。故选A。 答案　A 2．What do we know about James Patterson? A．He produced a best-seller when he was 26. B．He read a lot of books to get sources of inspiration. C．He worked as a full-time writer when he was young. D．He got inspiration for his first book when climbing a ladder. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Patterson says during that time，he would read well over 100 books a year to help spark his creativity.”可知，帕特森通过大量的阅读来获取灵感。故选B。 答案　B 3．What can we infer about James Patterson from the last paragraph? A．He has sold a lot of books. B．He doesn't take his job seriously. C．He values positive attitudes to work. D．He is unwilling to give advice to readers. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But he credits his own success to his work ethic and passion.(但他将自己的成功归功于自己的职业道德和激情。)”可知，帕特森认为是自己对于写作的积极态度使自己取得了成功。故选C。 答案　C 4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．The Secret to Career Success B．A Tough Road to a Best-seller Writer C．An Edgar Award Winner D．The Not-to-be-missed Fiction 解析　标题归纳题。综合文章内容可知，第二段提到帕特森最开始成为作家的梦想是“不切实际的”，第三段提到了帕特森在成为作家之前的工作经历，接着又提到为了写作他每年要看一百多本书，虽然帕特森在26岁时就发表了自己的第一本书，但是他在40岁的时候才成为一名畅销书作家。由此判断，帕特森成为作家的道路并不是一帆风顺的。B项“成为畅销书作家的艰难之路”符合文意。 答案　B B In recent times，with the rise of electric cars，the idea of fuelling cars with solar energy has also gained in popularity.Electric cars—even though they run on electricity and don't use fossil fuels—are still not green! People suffer from the misunderstanding that not using fossil fuels means “green” which is kind of false，considering the electricity we use is generated by burning the very same fuels! What if your car had solar panels(太阳能电池板) that could charge it? Now that would indeed be a green machine! However，although we would like to use this energy source in our car，the efficiency of currently used solar panels is subject to several different factors. Firstly，solar panels occupy a large amount of space.An average car has an area of 10-25 sq.ft.on the roof，which，if fully covered by solar panels，can generate between 50-150 W under ideal conditions.This is hardly enough power to support a light bulb! Also，the sunlight's temperature needs to be ideal，as extremely high temperatures can reduce the efficiency of solar panels.Cars must work in all weather conditions，so if a solar panel limits the car's functionality，it becomes practically useless.More importantly，the cost of the panels and the development required to power the electronics using the sun's energy outweighs the benefits that solar panels provide. Most cars today that have solar roofs use solar energy to power only a few basic functions.While there is still time before we will be able to drive cars fully powered by solar energy，there are some improvements，such as solar power stations，which are being designed to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels for electricity. Personally，I think solar-powered vehicles are surely the future，although not the near future.As the cost of solar panels continues to fall and their efficiency increases，things will begin to look much “brighter” for this sustainable option! [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了太阳能汽车是真正的绿色环保，但目前还存在一些局限。作者认为太阳能汽车是有前景的。 5．Why do electric cars fail to be environmentally friendly? A．They aren't powered by solar energy. B．They bring more pollution to the world. C．They won't work as well as the common cars. D．They run on electricity produced by burning fuels. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“considering the electricity we use is generated by burning the very same fuels”可知，电动汽车不环保是因为它们靠燃烧化石燃料产生的电运转。 答案　D 6．Why does the author give an example of the light bulb? A．To show the limitation of solar cars. B．To explain the function of solar panels. C．To indicate the principle of solar energy. D．To call for the advancement of technology. 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This is hardly enough power to support a light bulb！”可知，10—15平方英尺的太阳能电池板产生的电几乎不足以支撑一个灯泡。再根据第三段中的“extremely high temperatures...benefits that solar panels provide”可知，本段主要介绍目前太阳能汽车的一些局限。因此作者提到灯泡也是为了表明太阳能汽车目前的局限。 答案　A 7．What is the current development of solar cars? A．Pure solar cars will soon be available. B．Solar roofs will be fixed on more cars. C．Solar cars are designed with new functions. D．Solar cars can be charged at some stations. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“solar power stations...reduce our dependence on fossil fuels for electricity”可知，虽然距离我们驾驶完全由太阳能驱动的汽车还有一段时间，但已经有了一些改进，太阳能站的设计旨在减少我们对化石燃料发电的依赖。因此目前汽车可以在太阳能站充电。 答案　D 8．What's the author's attitude towards the future of solar cars? A．Curious. B．Doubtful. C．Hopeful. D．Critical. 解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“solar-powered vehicles are surely the future，although not the near future...things will begin to look much ‘brighter’”可知，作者认为太阳能汽车肯定是未来的趋势，形势会开始变得更加明朗。作者对太阳能汽车的未来是满怀希望的。 答案　C Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·新课标Ⅰ卷)I've been motivated—and demotivated—by other folks' achievements all my life. When I was a teenager，a neighborhood friend 1 a marathon race.Feeling motivated，I started running 2 ，but then two things happened.First，a girl I met one day told me she was 3 for a “super”，referring to a 52.4-mile double marathon.Then，the next day I went on my longest run—15 miles.To be honest，I 4 it！Between the girl making my 5 seem small and the pure boredom of jogging，I decided that the only 6 I'd ever run again is if a big dog was running after me! So I 7 cycling.I got a good bike and rode a lot.I 8 of entering cycle races until I flew to San Diego to visit my sister.While she was at work one day，I 9 her bike and went for a ride.The 10 ：The roads there went through large valleys where I'd be riding uphill for miles at a time.I'd never faced such 11 ．That day，I got 12 by about 100“local”bikers who were used to such roads.When I got back home，suddenly riding my bike didn't seem quite as 13 ． I've 14 a lot since then.I've come to accept that whatever 15 I set for myself，they just have to be my own. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在生活中，他人的成就对作者的激励作用以及消极作用。作者曾经受朋友赢得马拉松比赛的激励而开始跑步，但后来因遇到更厉害的跑步者和感受到跑步的无聊而放弃。再后来作者转而骑自行车，但因爬坡的困难和被人超过的打击而放弃。最终，作者意识到目标应针对自身而设。 1．A.knew B．held C．won D．quit 解析　上文中的“I've been motivated—and demotivated—by other folks' achievements all my life.”提到作者会因为别人的成就而受到激励。结合下文的“Feeling motivated，I started running”可知，此处是指一个社区的朋友赢得了马拉松比赛，作者因此受到了激励。quit“退出”。故用won。 答案　C 2．A.regularly B．silently C．proudly D．recently 解析　结合语境和常识可知，作者受到了激励，因此应是开始定期跑步。silently“悄悄地，静静地”；proudly“得意地，自豪地”。故用regularly。 答案　A 3．A.asking B．looking C．waiting D．training 解析　由下文的“referring to a 52.4-mile double marathon”可知，作者遇到的那个女孩要参加一场52.4英里的双人马拉松比赛，因此她那时正在为之训练，故用 training。 答案　D 4．A.made B．believed C．hated D．deserved 解析　受到那个女孩的影响，作者第二天就开始跑自己从未跑过的最长距离——15 英里。根据下文的“the pure boredom of jogging”可知，作者认为慢跑无比无聊，因此其实作者本身没有跑步的意愿，所以此处可推知，作者是讨厌跑15英里的。deserve“值得，应得”。故用 hated。 答案　C 5．A.advantage B．achievement C．contribution D．influence 解析　作者遇到的女孩为52.4 英里的双人马拉松比赛训练，而作者在跑15英里的距离，因此对比之下在那个女孩面前作者跑步的成就显得非常渺小。advantage“有利条件，有利因素，优势”； achievement“成就，成绩”；contribution“贡献”； influence“影响”。故用 achievement。 答案　B 6．A.way B．risk C．place D．reason 解析　由上文可知，跑步对作者而言是令人讨厌的、无聊的，因此作者放弃了跑步，决定以后能让自己再次跑步的唯一原因是后面有大狗在追赶。risk“危险，风险”。故用 reason。 答案　D 7．A.gave up B．went on C．turned to D．dealt with 解析　由下文的“I got a good bike and rode a lot”可知，作者买了一辆好的自行车，并骑了很多次，因此作者放弃跑步后把自己的目标转向了骑自行车。give up“放弃”；go on“继续”；deal with“处理”。故用 turned to。 答案　C 8．A.heard B．dreamed C．complained D．approved 解析　结合上文中描述的作者的经历和下文作者放弃了骑行可知，此处表示在骑行方面，作者一开始梦想着参加骑行比赛，直到飞往圣地亚哥拜访姐姐。complain“抱怨”；approve“同意”。故用dreamed。 答案　B 9．A.painted B．borrowed C．bought D．parked 解析　根据空前的“I flew to San Diego to visit my sister.While she was at work one day”和空后的“went for a ride”可知，作者去圣地亚哥找姐姐，一天姐姐在上班，作者去骑行了，因此此处是说作者向姐姐借了自行车，故用borrowed。 答案　B 10．A.problem B．secret C．principle D．advice 解析　由空后的“The roads there went through large valleys where I'd be riding uphill for miles at a time.”可知，那里的道路穿过宽阔的山谷，在那里作者要一次骑好几英里的上坡路；再结合下文的“about 100 ‘local’bikers who were used to such roads”可知，与当地那些习惯了这种路的人相比，作者不习惯这种路，这种路对作者而言是一个问题。principle“原则，原理”。故用 problem。 答案　A 11．A.dangers B．events C．opponents D．challenges 解析　作者要一次骑好几英里的上坡路，结合常识和下文作者放弃骑自行车可知，此处是在描述作者的困难，所以此处是说作者从来没有遇到过这种挑战。danger“危险，风险”； event“活动，比赛项目”；opponent“对手，竞争者”。故用challenges。 答案　D 12．A.passed B．convinced C．admired D．stopped 解析　由上文内容和下文的“by about 100‘local’ bikers who were used to such roads”可知，作者被熟悉这种路的当地骑行者超过，convince“使确信，使相信，使信服”； admire“钦佩，赞赏”。故用passed。 答案　A 13．A.reliable B．convenient C．familiar D．appealing 解析　结合上文可知，作者在骑行途中遇到了挑战，又被大约百人超过，作者受挫了，因此骑行对作者来说就没有那么有吸引力了，reliable“可信赖的，可依靠的”；convenient“实用的，便利的”； familiar“熟悉的，常见到的，常听说的”。故用appealing。 答案　D 14．A.traveled B．matured C．missed D．worried 解析　结合文章最后一句“I've come to accept...be my own.”可知，经过跑步和骑行这两件事情，作者已经逐渐相信目标应是为自己而设的，因此作者成长了、成熟了，故用 matured。 答案　B 15．A.limits B．dates C．goals D．tests 解析　综合全文可知，在跑步和骑行这两件事情上，作者均受到了他人成就的影响，但结果都失败了，故此处是说自那之后作者逐渐相信不管为自己设定什么目标，这些目标都要是为自己而设的。limit“限制”。故用goals。 答案　C 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
