主题语境提分练五　人与自我之优秀品行,正确的人生态度(一) 分值:42.5分 Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共30分) (2023·全国乙卷) Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape (风景) can be quite a challenge,mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation. Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar,either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes.To make some of my landscape shots,I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame.I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography.I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph.I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil's Lake,Wisconsin,to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake.After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks,we decided to photograph the scene at sunset.The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background.We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset.However,we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely.Once we found the place,it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time.Still,looking back on the photos,they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. 1.How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest? By teaming up with other photographers. By shooting in the countryside or state parks. By studying the geographical conditions. By creating settings in the corn fields. 2.What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author? Proper time management. Good shooting techniques. Adventurous spirit. Distinctive styles. 3.What can we infer from the author's trip with friends to Devil's Lake? They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. They reached the shooting spot later than expected. They had problems with their equipment. 4.How does the author find his photos taken at Devil's Lake? Amusing. Satisfying. Encouraging. Comforting. (2020·天津7月卷) After years of observing human nature,I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance:curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either.And I have never known an average man who had both.The two belong together. Together,these deep human urges(驱策力)count for much more than ambition.Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground.Like Galileo,all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent,“Why?Why?Why?” Fortunately,curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned.We are born with them and need only recapture them. “The great man,”said Mencius(孟子),“is he who does not lose his child's heart.”Yet most of us do lose it.We stop asking questions.We stop challenging custom.We just follow the crowd.And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average.It encourages us to occupy our own little corner,to avoid foolish leaps into the dark,to be satisfied. Most of us meet new people,and new ideas,with hesitation. But once having met and liked them,we think how terrible it would have been,had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.  How should you start?Modestly,so as not to become discouraged.I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself.She was curious about how the experts did it.Now she is one of the experts,writing books on flower arrangement. One way to begin is to answer your own excuses.You haven't any special ability? Most people don't;there are only a few geniuses.You haven't any time?That's good,because it's always the people with no time who get things done.Harriet Stowe,mother of six,wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking.You're too old?Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel,and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78. However you start,remember there is no better time to start than right now,for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment. 5.In writing Paragraph 1,the author aims to 　　　　.  propose a definition make a comparison reach a conclusion present an argument 6.What does the example of Galileo tell us? Trial and error leads to the finding of truth. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious. Creativity results from challenging authority. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore. 7.What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7? Gaining success helps you become an expert. The genius tends to get things done creatively. Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action. You should remain modest when approaching perfection. 8.What could be the best title for the passage? Curious Minds Never Feel Contented Reflections on Human Nature The Keys to Achievement Never Too Late to Learn (2019·天津卷) Would you BET on the future of this man? He is 53 years old.Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune.A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison.Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, he determines to write a book. The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years.That former prisoner was Cervantes, and the book was Don Quixote (《堂吉诃德》).And the story poses an interesting question:why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days,while others go to seed long before? We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway mark.I'm not talking about those who fail to get to the top.We can't all get there.I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.  Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives.We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it.Nothing surprises us.We lose our sense of wonder.But, if we are willing to learn, the opportunities are everywhere. The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills.We learn to bear with the things we can't change.We learn to avoid self-pity.We learn that however much we try to please,some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing. With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning.Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life.However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos (自我),whether to loved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept. Many of us equate (视……等同于) “commitment”with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing.But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment.People who work toward such excellence—whether they are driving a truck, or running a store—make the world better just by being the kind of people they are.They've learned life's most valuable lesson. 9.The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that 　　　　.  loss of freedom stimulates one's creativity age is not a barrier to achieving one's goal misery inspires a man to fight against his fate disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of success 10.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean? End one's struggle for liberty. Waste one's energy taking risks. Miss the opportunity to succeed. Lose the interest to continue learning. 11.What could be inferred from Paragraph 4? Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped. Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead. Opportunity favors those with a curious mind. Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind. 12.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life. To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work. To state the importance of generating motivation for learning. To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.
