专题06 阅读表达 主题01 人与社会 —— 社会服务与人际沟通 （2024-2025 学年高二上・红桥区・期末） We would all love to learn how to be happy. And sometimes, the solution comes from a surprising place. During his fieldwork in a remote African village, an anthropologist (人类学家) had devoted himself to studying the unique habits and culture of the local tribe. He had been working in the village for quite some time and on the day before his scheduled return home, he composed a gift—a basket full of delightful fruits from the area, wrapped thoughtfully in a piece of cloth. He placed this offering beneath a tree and then gathered the village children around. The man drew a line in the dirt, looked at the children, and said, “As soon as I signal to start, dash to the tree; the first to arrive will claim the basket of fruits.” However, when he signaled, instead of racing against each other, the children joined hands and ran together to the tree. Then They settled around the basket and enjoyed their treat as a group. Bewildered by their act of unity, the anthropologist asked why they chose to run collectively when any one of them could have seized all the fruits. A young girl looked up at him and said innocently, “How can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?” Years later, Desmond Tutu, the well -known South African activist, remembered how a girl once thought about things in a simple yet deep way. He used the word “ubuntu” to describe her thinking. “Ubuntu” means “I exist because we all do.” In other words, we are who we are because of our relationships with others. For that tribe, to be human is to relate with and through others. They think that our happiness comes from the union of our joys and the meaningful impact they have on the community. 51．What gift did the anthropologist prepared? (no more than 10 words) 52．How did the children reach the tree? (no more than 10 words) 53．What does the underlined word “bewildered” probably mean in Paragraph 4? (1 word) 54．What is the source of happiness for the tribe? (no more than 10 words) 55．Do you agree with the tribe’s belief about happiness? Please give your reason (s).(no more than 25words) （2024-2025 学年高二上・河东・期末） Until the late 18th century. Westerners had a rough time washing their hair. With no specialized product for the task, bathers were forced to rely on regular old soap. Then, Sake Dean Mahomed came along and changed everything. Mahomed was born in 1759 in the Indian state of Bihar. At the age of 11, he joined the East India Company’s army, and he arrived in London from India around 1782. Once he’d settled in the West, Mahomed got busy. He published a travelogue, the first book in English by an Indian author. Later, he opened England’s first “Indian” restaurant. These efforts weren’t his most lasting contributions to British society, though. Before opening his restaurant, Mahomed also worked in the public steam baths at Portman Square, a health spa owned by the wealthy Londoner Basil Cochrane. It was there, and later at his own establishment in the seaside resort of Brighton, that Mahomed introduced the technique of bathing and massaging (按摩) hair and scalp (头皮) with oils known in India as “champi.” For centuries. Indians had been enjoying the massage with champi. When Mahomed introduced the practice to Londoners, the name was changed into “shampoo.” Before long, Mahomed had made a name for himself massaging the heads of London’s high society. And as business grew rapidly, he drew customers from Europe’s classiest addresses. Of course, a little showmanship (表演能力) helped. Dressed in traditional Indian clothing. Mahomed impressed crowds by massaging scalps and billing the practice as a cure to many diseases and giving full relief when everything fails. Before long, he was even appointed as the “shampooing surgeon” to both King George IV and King William IV. If you’re looking for a way to cozy up to the new royal baby, maybe it’s time to invest in some shampoo and a towel. 56．What’s the text mainly about? (no more than 10 words) 57．Where did Mahomed introduce the practice of massaging with champi to the British? (no more than 10 words) 58．What was the advantage of massaging with champi? (no more than 15 words) 59．What does “cozy up to” in the last paragraph mean in English? (no more than 5 words) 60．What do you think of Sake Dean Mahomed? Why? (no more than 20 words) 主题02 人与自我 —— 生活与学习 （2024-2025 学年高二上・部分区・期末） Just over a year ago, my iPhone was lost. My first thought was to replace it. But I stopped myself and asked a question: Does owning a smartphone make my life better, or worse? I decided to try living for a time without a smartphone. So I bought an old, $30 phone and began my life without smartphone. One day after I made the switch, my wife, daughter and I were in Washington visiting a museum. By afternoon, I started acting like a true addict. I used my wife’s smartphone to check Gmail. The beginning rush of seeing so many unread emails was spoiled (破坏) by a work-related message. For the next half-hour or so, I walked around thinking about that message instead of being present at the museum. I was physically there, but my mind was focused on work. The most immediate advantage of not owning a smartphone, I quickly learned, is the ability to immerse yourself in social situations. Without a smartphone to look at, you don’t have much of a choice but to be present, and other people—whether it’s a colleague or a stranger on social media—can’t enter your life easily at inconvenient times. So I made my short-term experiment permanent. Do I miss Google Maps? Kind of, but I’ve also discovered that not having it makes driving safer. I now check a map before I leave the house and write down basic directions. This keeps me focused on the road rather than the phone. If I get lost, it’s nice to ask people for directions. On the subject of money: My phone bill is now down to $30 a month. I have no data plan, no expensive phone to make payments on, no apps to buy. All of these come from not using a smartphone. 66．Why did the author buy the old phone?（no more than 10 words） 67．How did the speaker check his Gmail while at the museum?（no more than 10 words） 68．What do the underlined part “immerse yourself in” in Para. 3 probably mean?（no more than 5 words） 69．What is the last paragraph mainly about?（no more than 10 words） 70．What’s your opinion on smartphones? Please explain.（no more than 25 words） 主题03 人与自我 —— 做人与做事 （2024-2025 学年高二上・河北・期末） Grace Young grew up in San Francisco. When she was little, she used to watch her father shop daily in Chinatown for whatever he needed to make traditional Chinese meals at home. As an award-winning cookbook author, Ms. Young, now 66, has spent decades shopping the same way in New York’s Chinatown. Ms. Young developed a passion for cooking at an early age. At 13, she started to sit in on cooking classes. After college, Ms. Young moved to New York and worked in a book-packaging company. In her 30s, she realized that while she had helped create more than 40 cookbooks, she didn’t know how to make the dishes that tasted of home. “I knew if I recorded all of my parents’ recipes, it would be a great gift that I could give my family and the next generation.” she says. Yet what began as a recipe book became a kind of memoir (回忆录). Talking about food encouraged her parents to finally open up about their past, like the fact that her father had owned a Chinatown restaurant in the 1940s “It was really an amazing way to learn not only my family’s recipes, but also my family’s story.” she says. The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen (1999) launched (开始) Ms. Young’s work in preserving Chinese culinary (烹饪的) traditions. Ms. Young has also devoted herself to supporting the restaurants in Chinatown. Since early 2020, Ms. Young has raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and deliver them to those in need. This year, instead of cooking at home for her husband and friends, she celebrated the Chinese New Year with various dishes from local restaurants in Chinatown. “If these restaurants don’t survive, Chinese culinary traditions in our city won’t survive.” she says. 61．What is Ms. Young known as? (no more than 5 words) 62．Why did Ms. Young want to record her parents’ recipes? (no more than 15 words) 63．What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3? (1 word) 64．What did Ms. Young do to help Chinatown restaurants this year? (no more than 15 words) 65．What can you learn from Ms. Young?

Since I live a four-hour drive from the San Francisco airport, I had parked my car there for my trip back. To my frustration, I discovered that the battery was dead when I reached my car. Luckily, an airport parking attendant promptly showed up to jump-start my car, allowing me to continue my drive home. However, the trouble didn’t end there. While driving north on Highway 280 towards San Francisco, I exited onto Highway 1 and encountered heavy traffic Suddenly, my car didn’t work entirely-no flashers, lights, or starter-leaving me stuck in the middle lane. Feeling helpless and scared of being hit, I immediately called 911 for help. A 911 operator took my information and forwarded it to the San Francisco police. As I stood there awaiting assistance anxiously, a kind gentleman, who had previously experienced a similar breakdown himself, offered to push my car to the shoulder. After thanking him, I continued to wait for further help. Within ten minutes, a police car arrived to ensure that everything was going smoothly. Shortly after, a tow truck also showed up and took my car to a nearby garage, where the staff quickly assessed the problem. Efficient repairs allowed me to carry on my journey without much delay. On my drive home, I couldn’t help but reflect on everything that had happened. The help I received from the parking attendant, the gentleman who stopped to assist, the police, and the tow truck staff had all turned what could have been a very frustrating experience into something much more manageable. I was deeply touched by the kindness I encountered. It made me realize how much simple acts of goodwill can make a difference in tough situations. I made a silent vow to pay it forward and offer that same help to others in need whenever I could. 51．What was the problem with the author’s car at the airport?

In every lesson he would produce one of those worksheets in purple ink that smelled fresh from the machine. Every sheet contained a poem or a joke and we looked forward to them being handed out. I’ve kept them all to show to my own children. There was one poem in particular that’s stayed in my memory, which went: In early days Man measured Time By sunrise and sunset sublime; As well as being able to turn physics into poetry, Peter had energy and passion and conveyed the sense that science was part of the world around you and not a dull boring academic discipline. I’m sure he was sticking pretty much to the standard topics—waves and electricity and so on—but he managed to convert everything into a joke or a story and did so in a clever and imaginative way. Peter Bullock was not only an exciting teacher, but also the man who founded the debate club in my school. He encouraged me to take part and express myself in a forceful way that I’ve been doing ever since—and getting paid for it. That made me what I am today—a commercial lawyer. Peter Bullock taught me throughout my secondary schooling and I took physics, chemistry and maths at A-level. Everyone in his class enjoyed learning. He was inspiring. He turned me on to the idea that the things you are interested in might seem dull on the surface, but you can still excite others. For example, when I tell people I’m interested in law, they may think: “How boring.” I guess being a physics teacher is much the same. Peter showed me that what matters is how you convey your own passion so that you excite other people. 51．Why did the students expect to get the worksheets in Peter’s class? (no more than 10 words) 52．What is the meaning of the underlined word in Para. 2? (1 word) 53．What does Para. 3 mainly tell us? (no more than 15 words) 54．How did Peter make his students interested in the things that seem dull? (no more than 10 words) 55．What do you think is the most important quality of a good teacher? Please explain.

On a recent journey to the Cascade Mountain Range in Oregon, Casey was driving through the Willamette National Forest when he came across a stranger whose vehicle was stuck. He had been stuck there for days, so Casey volunteered to help him get his car out. Unluckily, Casey got his own vehicle stuck in a hole while trying to help, leaving both people stuck with no mobile phone service for miles around. Casey says his mind is always working to find creative solutions to problems. He immediately judged the situation and realized that in order to get mobile phone service, he would need to get higher up the mountain. He remembered a movie he’d seen recently in which a character used a drone to lift his phone high enough to catch a signal, so he pulled out his device and got to work. He attached his mobile phone to his drone. Then, he typed a series of messages to his wife. He told her where he was located in the park, then held his breath as he attempted to launch the now-heavy drone. He got it going and shipped it up to the sky. The drone soared several hundred feet into the air. Somewhere up there over the tall trees, the phone picked up a signal! All of Casey’s texts were sent. They were saved. Rescuers arrived and saved both Casey and the other driver. Impressed by Casey’s creative problem-solving skills, people are calling him a “real-life MacGyver,” but he’s just thankful to be out of the woods. Who knows, maybe future drones will have built-in emergency features added thanks to this photographer’s creativity. We’d totally buy a phone drone! 66．What did Casey do when he met a stranger in the forest? (no more than 10 words) 67．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? (no more than 15 words) 68．What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean? (1word) 69．Why do people compare Casey to MacGyver? (no more than 10 words) 70．What do you think of Casey?

What started as one man’s effort at age 23 to clean up the Mississippi River, has evolved into a cultural movement that had resulted in over 8 million pounds of garbage being cleaned out of America’s rivers. The enthusiasm and leadership skills that Chad possesses have inspired more than 70,000 people to volunteer their time and resources. Growing up in Hampton, Illinois with the Mississippi River in his backyard, Chad has always loved the water. His family spent the majority of their time on, in and around the river. Chad’s first jobs were on the river as a commercial div er and fisherman. Working on the river gave Chad a first-hand and close-up look at the shores where there was poisonous trash here and there. At age 17, Chad began calling government agencies to tell them about the problem. None of his calls resulted in government action and the trash problem seemed to be escalating every year. Chad decided that it was up to him to make a difference and clean the rivers. At age 23, Chad founded Living Lands & Waters, a not-for-profit organization aimed at preserving rivers in America. Chad worked tirelessly and called businesses to ask for an appointment just to tell the story of what he was seeing along the banks of rivers. Chad heard no during every phone call and was near the emotional bottom. After begging a receptionist at Alcoa, Chad finally secured his first appointment. Alcoa took a chance on the young river kid and gave him his first check for $8,400, enough to cover expenses for his first clean-up project. Since 1998, the organization has grown to include over 10 full-time employees, a fleet of 4 barges (大型平底船), 2 towboats(拖船), 1 crane, 6 workboats, 5 work trucks, and a large box truck to drag trash. 71．How does Chad inspire more than 70,000 people to volunteer their time and resources?

On Nov 24, she passed away in Tianjin at the age of 100. Yeh learned classical poetry and English from a young age. In college, she focused on poetry from the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties. After graduating, she taught at several universities in China and abroad. Yeh faced many struggles in her life. She lost her mother at the age of 17 and her eldest daughter passed away when Yeh was in middle age. “The study of poetry is not a goal that I pursue (追求), but a strength that supports me through difficulties,” she wrote at age 87. She often saw poetry through the viewpoint of her own life experiences, including the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45). She admired the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) poet Xin Qiji (1140-1207) for his determination, noting how he never gave up on getting back his home even during the hardest times. What’s more, Ye Jiaying is passionate about teaching poetry. She has traveled around the world to share the charm of classical Chinese poetry, making it accessible to people from different backgrounds. Her vivid lectures have kindled a love for poetry in the hearts of countless students and enthusiasts. Even in her 90s, Yeh continued teaching to share Chinese poetry with as many people as possible. At the age of 92, she chose 218 ancient poems for children and recorded videos of her interpretations (解读) and readings the following year. As Yeh once said, devoting herself to creating, researching and teaching Chinese poetry both in China and abroad was her only mission in life. 56．What was Yeh devoted to in college?

Most of the class might be considered not very well-off, but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional treats of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of her students’ art. And they were. But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of sadness, weak and melancholic. As other children played during break time, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain Douglas felt behind those sad eyes. Yes, his picture was different. When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand. His abstract image captured the imagination of his peers. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people. And so the discussion went—until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself. When the children had gone on to other assignments, she paused at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said softly, “It’s yours, teacher.” She recalled the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How often had she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand. Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work. In fact, people might not always say “thanks,” but they’ll remember the hand that reaches out. 51．What did the teacher expect her students to draw? (no more than 10 words) 52．What does the underlined word “melancholic” mean in Paragraph 2? (One word) 53．What did Douglas’s classmates guess about the hand he drew? (no more than 15 words) 54．Why did Douglas choose to draw his teacher’s hand? (no more than 10 words) 55．Who do you most want to thank and why?

(他在村里工作了很长一段时间，在他计划回家的前一天，他做了一份礼物——一篮子来自当地的美味水果，用一块布若有所思地包着。)”可知，人类学家准备了一篮子来自当地的美味水果。故答案为A basket full of delightful fruits from the area. 52．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“However, when he signaled, instead of racing against each other, the children joined hands and ran together to the tree. (然而，当他示意时，孩子们并没有互相竞争，而是手拉手一起跑向树。)”可知，孩子们是手拉手一起跑向树的。故答案为They joined hands and ran together to the tree. 53．考查词义猜测。根据第四段中划线词句后半部分“the anthropologist asked why they chose to run collectively when any one of them could have seized all the fruits (人类学家问，当他们中的任何一个人都可以夺取所有果实时，为什么他们选择集体奔跑)”可知，人类学家对看到的结果感到困惑，从而推知“Bewildered by their act of unity(对他们的联合行为Bewildered)”中划线部分是“感到困惑的”。故答案为Confused. 54．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中“They think that our happiness comes from the union of our joys and the meaningful impact they have on the community. (他们认为我们的幸福来自于我们的快乐和他们对社区的有意义的影响。)”可知，部落幸福的源泉来自于集体的幸福和有意义的影响。故答案为It comes from the joys and meaningful impact of unity. 55．考查阅读写作。通读全文可知，本文通过一位人类专家的调查，揭示了幸福的源泉来自于集体的快乐和对社会有意义的影响。我同意部落对幸福的看法，因为只有大家都幸福我才会感到真正的幸福，如果其他人悲伤，我怎么会开心呢？故答案为Yes, I do. Because only when everyone is happy can I feel true happiness. If all the others are sad, how can I be happy? （2024-2025 学年高二上・河东・期末） Until the late 18th century. Westerners had a rough time washing their hair. With no specialized product for the task, bathers were forced to rely on regular old soap. Then, Sake Dean Mahomed came along and changed everything.

Westerners had a rough time washing their hair. With no specialized product for the task, bathers were forced to rely on regular old soap. Then, Sake Dean Mahomed came along and changed everything. (直到18世纪末，西方人在洗头发方面一直很费劲。由于没有专门的产品，洗澡者只能依赖普通的肥皂。后来，萨克·迪恩·马哈茂德出现了，改变了一切。)”及全文可知，文章主要讲述了洗发水在英国的历史，特别是Sake Dean Mahomed如何将印度的洗发按摩技术引入英国。因此，答案是“The history of shampoo in Britain”。 57．细节理解题。根据第三段“Before opening his restaurant, Mahomed also worked in the public steam baths at Portman Square, a health spa owned by the wealthy Londoner Basil Cochrane. It was there, and later at his own establishment in the seaside resort of Brighton, that Mahomed introduced the technique of bathing and massaging (按摩) hair and scalp (头皮) with oils known in India as “champi.” (在开设自己的餐厅之前，马哈茂德还在波特曼广场的公共蒸汽浴室工作，这是一个由富有的伦敦人巴希尔·科克伦拥有的健康水疗中心。正是在那里，后来在他的海滨度假胜地布莱顿的自家店铺里，马哈茂德引入了用印度所称的“香波”油来洗浴和按摩头发及头皮的技术。)”可知，他是在波特曼广场和布莱顿的自家店铺里引入了香波的，因此，答案是“At Portman Square and his own establishment in Brighton”。 58．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mahomed impressed crowds by massaging scalps and billing the practice as a cure to many diseases and giving full relief when everything fails. (马哈茂德通过按摩头皮并声称这种做法能治愈许多疾病，并在其他方法都失败时提供完全的缓解，从而给观众留下了深刻印象。)”可知，这种香波能治愈疾病，而其余方法都不管用，因此，答案是“It could cure many diseases and give full relief when everything failed”。 59．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“If you’re looking for a way to cozy up to the new royal baby, maybe it’s time to invest in some shampoo and a towel. (如果你正在寻找一种cozy up to新王室婴儿的方法，也许是时候投资一些洗发水和毛巾了。)”可知，香波获得了大量上层社会乃至皇室的欢迎，所以只要给他们送上香波，就可以接近他们，“cozy up to”意为“接近”或“与...建立友好关系”。因此，答案是“Make friends with”或“Get to know”。 60．开放式问题。这是一个开放式问题，答案合理即可。例如，“Sake Dean Mahomed was an innovator because he introduced a new practice to Britain that became widely accepted.” 主题02 人与自我 —— 生活与学习 （2024-2025 学年高二上・部分区・期末） Just over a year ago, my iPhone was lost. My first thought was to replace it. But I stopped myself and asked a question: Does owning a smartphone make my life better, or worse? I decided to try living for a time without a smartphone. So I bought an old, $30 phone and began my life without smartphone. One day after I made the switch, my wife, daughter and I were in Washington visiting a museum. By afternoon, I started acting like a true addict. I used my wife’s smartphone to check Gmail. The beginning rush of seeing so many unread emails was spoiled (破坏) by a work-related message. For the next half-hour or so, I walked around thinking about that message instead of being present at the museum. I was physically there, but my mind was focused on work. The most immediate advantage of not owning a smartphone, I quickly learned, is the ability to immerse yourself in social situations. Without a smartphone to look at, you don’t have much of a choice but to be present, and other people—whether it’s a colleague or a stranger on social media—can’t enter your life easily at inconvenient times. So I made my short-term experiment permanent. Do I miss Google Maps? Kind of, but I’ve also discovered that not having it makes driving safer. I now check a map before I leave the house and write down basic directions. This keeps me focused on the road rather than the phone. If I get lost, it’s nice to ask people for directions. On the subject of money: My phone bill is now down to $30 a month. I have no data plan, no expensive phone to make payments on, no apps to buy. All of these come from not using a smartphone. 66．Why did the author buy the old phone?（no more than 10 words） 67．How did the speaker check his Gmail while at the museum?（no more than 10 words） 68．What do the underlined part “immerse yourself in” in Para. 3 probably mean?（no more than 5 words） 69．What is the last paragraph mainly about?（no more than 10 words） 70．What’s your opinion on smartphones? Please explain.（no more than 25 words） 【答案】66．To live without a smartphone. 67．He used his wife’s smartphone. 68．Fully engage in or focus on. 69．Benefits of not using a smartphone. 70．Smartphones are useful but can also be distracting. Balancing their use is key to maximizing their benefits while minimizing drawbacks. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己尝试不用智能手机的经历以及由此体会到的不用智能手机带来的好处。 66．考查细节理解。根据第一段“I decided to try living for a time without a smartphone. So I bought an old, $30 phone and began my life without smartphone.(我决定试着在一段时间内不使用智能手机生活。所以我买了一部30美元的旧手机，开始了没有智能手机的生活)”可知，作者买旧手机是为了过没有智能手机的生活，故答案为To live without a smartphone. 67．考查细节理解。根据第二段“By afternoon, I started acting like a true addict. I used my wife’s smartphone to check Gmail(到了下午，我开始表现得像个真正的瘾君子。我用我妻子的智能手机查看了Gmail)”可知，作者在博物馆时是用他妻子的智能手机查看Gmail的，故答案为He used his wife’s smartphone. 68．考查词义猜测。根据第三段“Without a smartphone to look at, you don’t have much of a choice but to be present (如果没有智能手机可以查看，你就没有太多选择，只能专注于当下)”可知，我很快意识到，不拥有智能手机的最直接好处是，你可以将自己沉浸在社交场合中。故答案为Fully engage in or focus on. 69．考查主旨大意。最后一段“Do I miss Google Maps? Kind of, but I’ve also discovered that not having it makes driving safer. I now check a map before I leave the house and write down basic directions. This keeps me focused on the road rather than the phone. If I get lost, it’s nice to ask people for directions. On the subject of money: My phone bill is now down to $30 a month. I have no data plan, no expensive phone to make payments on, no apps to buy. All of these come from not using a smartphone.( 我想念谷歌地图吗？有点，但我也发现没有它开车更安全。我现在出门前会查看纸质地图并写下基本路线，这让我专注于道路而不是手机。如果迷路了，向人问路也挺好的。关于钱的问题：我的手机账单现在降到每月30美元。我没有数据计划，没有昂贵的手机要付款，没有应用程序要买。所有这些都源于不使用智能手机)”可知最后一段分别从驾驶更安全、话费降低以及不用花钱买应用等方面阐述了不使用智能手机带来的好处，所以主要讲的是不使用智能手机的好处，故答案为Benefits of not using a smartphone. 70．考查阅读表达。根据第一段“I decided to try living for a time without a smartphone. So I bought an old, $30 phone and began my life without smartphone.(我决定试着在一段时间内不使用智能手机生活。所以我买了一部30美元的旧手机，开始了没有智能手机的生活)”、第二段“The beginning rush of seeing so many unread emails was spoiled (破坏) by a work-related message. For the next half-hour or so, I walked around thinking about that message instead of being present at the museum. I was physically there, but my mind was focused on work(看到这么多未读邮件的最初兴奋感被一条与工作相关的信息破坏了。在接下来的半小时左右，我走来走去，想着那条信息，而不是在博物馆里。我身体在那里，但心思却集中在工作上)”以及最后一段“Do I miss Google Maps? Kind of, but I’ve also discovered that not having it makes driving safer. I now check a map before I leave the house and write down basic directions. This keeps me focused on the road rather than the phone. If I get lost, it’s nice to ask people for directions. On the subject of money: My phone bill is now down to $30 a month.

Balancing their use is key to maximizing their benefits while minimizing drawbacks. 主题03 人与自我 —— 做人与做事 （2024-2025 学年高二上・河北・期末） Grace Young grew up in San Francisco. When she was little, she used to watch her father shop daily in Chinatown for whatever he needed to make traditional Chinese meals at home. As an award-winning cookbook author, Ms. Young, now 66, has spent decades shopping the same way in New York’s Chinatown. Ms. Young developed a passion for cooking at an early age. At 13, she started to sit in on cooking classes. After college, Ms. Young moved to New York and worked in a book-packaging company. In her 30s, she realized that while she had helped create more than 40 cookbooks, she didn’t know how to make the dishes that tasted of home. “I knew if I recorded all of my parents’ recipes, it would be a great gift that I could give my family and the next generation.” she says. Yet what began as a recipe book became a kind of memoir (回忆录). Talking about food encouraged her parents to finally open up about their past, like the fact that her father had owned a Chinatown restaurant in the 1940s “It was really an amazing way to learn not only my family’s recipes, but also my family’s story.” she says. The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen (1999) launched (开始) Ms. Young’s work in preserving Chinese culinary (烹饪的) traditions. Ms. Young has also devoted herself to supporting the restaurants in Chinatown. Since early 2020, Ms. Young has raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and deliver them to those in need. This year, instead of cooking at home for her husband and friends, she celebrated the Chinese New Year with various dishes from local restaurants in Chinatown. “If these restaurants don’t survive, Chinese culinary traditions in our city won’t survive.” she says. 61．What is Ms. Young known as? (no more than 5 words) 62．Why did Ms. Young want to record her parents’ recipes? (no more than 15 words) 63．What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3? (1 word) 64．What did Ms. Young do to help Chinatown restaurants this year? (no more than 15 words) 65．What can you learn from Ms. Young? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】61．An award-winning cookbook author. /A cookbook author. 62．Because she wanted to know how to make dishes that tasted of home. Or: Because the recorded recipes would be a gift for her family and the next generation. 63．Protecting. / Keeping./ Maintaining./ Conserving./ Sustaining. 64．She ordered dishes from Chinatown restaurants for the Chinese New Year. 65．Through my own efforts and influence, let more people understand and appreciate Chinese culinary culture. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Grace Young的故事，她从小在唐人街看着父亲购买食材烹饪中国美食，后来成为一名烹饪书作家。她通过自己的努力和影响力，让更多人了解和欣赏中国烹饪文化。 61．考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“As an award-winning cookbook author, Ms. Young, now 66, has spent decades shopping the same way in New York’s Chinatown.(作为一名屡获殊荣的烹饪书作者，现年66岁的杨女士几十年来一直在纽约的唐人街以同样的方式购物。)”可知，杨女士是一名屡获殊荣的烹饪书作者。故答案为An award-winning cookbook author. /A cookbook author. 62．考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“In her 30s, she realized that while she had helped create more than 40 cookbooks, she didn’t know how to make the dishes that tasted of home. “I knew if I recorded all of my parents’ recipes, it would be a great gift that I could give my family and the next generation.” she says.(30多岁时，她意识到，虽然她帮助创作了40多本烹饪书，但她不知道如何做出家乡的味道。“我知道如果我把父母所有的食谱都记录下来，这将是我送给家人和下一代的一份很棒的礼物。她说。)”可知，因为她想知道怎么做有家乡味道的菜。或者：因为记录下来的食谱将是送给她的家人和下一代的礼物。故答案为Because she wanted to know how to make dishes that tasted of home. Or: Because the recorded recipes would be a gift for her family and the next generation. 63．考查词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Ms. Young has also devoted herself to supporting the restaurants in Chinatown. Since early 2020, Ms. Young has raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and deliver them to those in need. (杨女士还致力于支持唐人街的餐馆。自2020年初以来，杨女士一直在筹集资金，从唐人街的餐馆购买饭菜，并将它们送到有需要的人手中)”可知，1999年出版的Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen开启了杨女士保护中国烹饪传统的工作。所以划线词的意思是“保护”。故填Protecting. / Keeping./ Maintaining./ Conserving./ Sustaining. 64．考查细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Ms. Young has also devoted herself to supporting the restaurants in Chinatown. Since early 2020, Ms. Young has raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and deliver them to those in need. This year, instead of cooking at home for her husband and friends, she celebrated the Chinese New Year with various dishes from local restaurants in Chinatown.(杨女士还致力于支持唐人街的餐馆。自2020年初以来，杨女士一直在筹集资金，从唐人街的餐馆购买饭菜，并将它们送到有需要的人手中。今年，她没有在家为丈夫和朋友做饭，而是在唐人街的当地餐馆吃了各种各样的菜来庆祝中国新年。“如果这些餐馆没有生存下去，我们城市的中国烹饪传统也将不复存在。”她说。)”可知，杨女士（她）在唐人街的餐馆点了一些中国新年的菜。故答案为She ordered dishes from Chinatown restaurants for the Chinese New Year. 65．开放性试题。通过本文可以学到：通过自己的努力和影响力，让更多人了解和欣赏中国烹饪文化。故回答为：Through my own efforts and influence, let more people understand and appreciate Chinese culinary culture. （2024-2025 学年高二上・滨海新区・期末） After a recent business trip, I was heading back to my home in Northern California.

While driving north on Highway 280 towards San Francisco, I exited onto Highway 1 and encountered heavy traffic Suddenly, my car didn’t work entirely-no flashers, lights, or starter-leaving me stuck in the middle lane. Feeling helpless and scared of being hit, I immediately called 911 for help. A 911 operator took my information and forwarded it to the San Francisco police. As I stood there awaiting assistance anxiously, a kind gentleman, who had previously experienced a similar breakdown himself, offered to push my car to the shoulder. After thanking him, I continued to wait for further help. Within ten minutes, a police car arrived to ensure that everything was going smoothly. Shortly after, a tow truck also showed up and took my car to a nearby garage, where the staff quickly assessed the problem. Efficient repairs allowed me to carry on my journey without much delay. On my drive home, I couldn’t help but reflect on everything that had happened.

In every lesson he would produce one of those worksheets in purple ink that smelled fresh from the machine. Every sheet contained a poem or a joke and we looked forward to them being handed out. I’ve kept them all to show to my own children. There was one poem in particular that’s stayed in my memory, which went: In early days Man measured Time By sunrise and sunset sublime; As well as being able to turn physics into poetry, Peter had energy and passion and conveyed the sense that science was part of the world around you and not a dull boring academic discipline. I’m sure he was sticking pretty much to the standard topics—waves and electricity and so on—but he managed to convert everything into a joke or a story and did so in a clever and imaginative way. Peter Bullock was not only an exciting teacher, but also the man who founded the debate club in my school. He encouraged me to take part and express myself in a forceful way that I’ve been doing ever since—and getting paid for it. That made me what I am today—a commercial lawyer. Peter Bullock taught me throughout my secondary schooling and I took physics, chemistry and maths at A-level. Everyone in his class enjoyed learning. He was inspiring. He turned me on to the idea that the things you are interested in might seem dull on the surface, but you can still excite others. For example, when I tell people I’m interested in law, they may think: “How boring.” I guess being a physics teacher is much the same. Peter showed me that what matters is how you convey your own passion so that you excite other people. 51．Why did the students expect to get the worksheets in Peter’s class? (no more than 10 words) 52．What is the meaning of the underlined word in Para. 2? (1 word) 53．What does Para. 3 mainly tell us? (no more than 15 words) 54．How did Peter make his students interested in the things that seem dull? (no more than 10 words) 55．What do you think is the most important quality of a good teacher? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】51．(Because) every sheet contained/had a poem or a joke. Or: (Because) there was a poem/a joke on every sheet. Or: (Because) the worksheets were interesting/amusing. 52．Subject. Or: Field. Or: Area. 53．The author’s experience in the debate club contributed to his career. Or: The author benefited from his experience in the debate club. Or: Peter influenced the author’s career. Or: Peter played a very important role in the author’s life. Or: Peter founded the debate club, which helped the author to become a lawyer. 54．By conveying his own passion to the students. Or: He used poems, jokes and stories in his teaching. Or: By using creative teaching methods. 55．A good teacher should be passionate. This is important because a passionate teacher could excite the students. Or: A good teacher should be humorous. This is important because a humorous teacher makes learning easy and fun. Or: A good teacher should be knowledgeable. This is important because students could learn a lot from him/her. Or: Creativity is the most important quality to keep students interested and motivated. Or: A good teacher is supposed to love his/her students. Only those who are loved can learn how to love others. 【分析】本文为记叙文。作者讲述了自己的物理老师彼得·布洛克。彼得不仅能把物理学变成诗歌，他还充满活力和激情，传达出科学是你周围世界的一部分，而不是枯燥乏味的学术学科的感觉。彼得·布洛克深深激励和影响了作者。 51．原文出处在第一自然段：Every sheet contained a poem or a joke and we looked forward to them being handed out.其中，looked forward to语义是题干expect to的同义表达替换，结合连词 and 语义中所具有的因果先后逻辑可知，此题的答案应该是and 前文：Every sheet contained a poem or a joke。此题难度不大，结合原文，直接抄写原句即可为正确答案。另请注意，根据 对参考答案的分析可知，回答Why的问题时，because这个词不一定必须写出， 因此也请考生注意字数要求。答案：(Because) every sheet contained/had a poem or a joke. Or: (Because) there was a poem/a joke on every sheet. Or: (Because) the worksheets were interesting/amusing. 52．原文下划线单词为第二自然段此处：not a dull boring academic discipline。原文第一自然段中的背景为Peter老师是一个物理老师，他的课堂从不沉闷无聊，是因为他善于用诗歌或笑话来调动学生们的学习兴趣。此处设空处的描述：Peter老师向学生们传达的就是科学是一你所处的这个世界的一部分，并不是一种 沉闷的学术 discipline. 结合“学术的”的搭配以及物理学科的前文背景，此处的 discipline 一词指的应该是学科的“科”字，也可是领域，区域，学科-- field/area/subject答案：Subject. Or: Field. Or: Area. 53．归纳段意题目。倒数第二段介绍了这样的关键词: the debate club/take part/getting paid for it / I am today- a commercial lawyer，需要学生在快速阅读的过程中快速搞清故事的发展。Peter老师所创办的校内辩论俱乐部并在他的要求我也加入了进去，未来收到了回报，作者成为了律师。故段意归纳含有以下意向即可算是正确的：影响/收 获/有助于/职业/未来工作/人生。答案：The author’s experience in the debate club contributed to his career. Or: The author benefited from his experience in the debate club. Or: Peter influenced the author’s career. Or: Peter played a very important role in the author’s life. Or: Peter founded the debate club, which helped the author to become a lawyer. 54．答案在最后一段。此题难度在于无法在原文中的一句话中攫取中能够作为答案的原句。题干中的interested（感兴趣的）与seem dull（似乎无聊的）反复地、以不同表达出现在最后一段中，这就需要学生们在不超过字数的前提下，能够高度概括。注意原文这两处表达He turned me on to the idea (turn sb. on意为inspire)以及后文最后一句you convey your own passion so that you excite other people，可知，想表达的意思为“传递激情影响学生”。答案：By conveying his own passion to the students. Or: He used poems, jokes and stories in his teaching. Or: By using creative teaching methods. 55．半开放式题。此题问的是你认为好老师的最重要的品质是什么。考生需要在字数要求下，写出自认为教师应该具有的品质是什么，再由because引导一个从句加以解释即可。可以根据本篇文章作者讲述自己的物理老师的优点，概括出教师应该具有的品质。根据第一段内容，作者的物理老师用紫色墨水在每一张纸上写上一首诗或一个笑话发给学生，可知老师是热情的，有爱心的；物理老师在讲述枯燥的科学原理的时候，尽可能用笑话或故事的形式来讲，这说明老师是幽默的，知识渊博的；根据老师创办了辩论俱乐部，可知老师是热情的，有创造力的。答案可以是热情的，幽默的，有创造力的等，所以答案为：A good teacher should be passionate. This is important because a passionate teacher could excite the students. Or: A good teacher should be humorous. This is important because a humorous teacher makes learning easy and fun. Or: A good teacher should be knowledgeable. This is important because students could learn a lot from him/her. Or: Creativity is the most important quality to keep students interested and motivated. Or: A good teacher is supposed to love his/her students. Only those who are loved can learn how to love others. （2024-2025 学年高二上・五区县重点校・期末） Whenever photographer Casey Ryan heads into the wilderness, he brings along his drone (无人驾驶飞机) to photograph from a bird’s eye view. On a recent journey to the Cascade Mountain Range in Oregon, Casey was driving through the Willamette National Forest when he came across a stranger whose vehicle was stuck. He had been stuck there for days, so Casey volunteered to help him get his car out. Unluckily, Casey got his own vehicle stuck in a hole while trying to help, leaving both people stuck with no mobile phone service for miles around. Casey says his mind is always working to find creative solutions to problems. He immediately judged the situation and realized that in order to get mobile phone service, he would need to get higher up the mountain. He remembered a movie he’d seen recently in which a character used a drone to lift his phone high enough to catch a signal, so he pulled out his device and got to work. He attached his mobile phone to his drone. Then, he typed a series of messages to his wife. He told her where he was located in the park, then held his breath as he attempted to launch the now-heavy drone. He got it going and shipped it up to the sky. The drone soared several hundred feet into the air. Somewhere up there over the tall trees, the phone picked up a signal! All of Casey’s texts were sent. They were saved. Rescuers arrived and saved both Casey and the other driver. Impressed by Casey’s creative problem-solving skills, people are calling him a “real-life MacGyver,” but he’s just thankful to be out of the woods. Who knows, maybe future drones will have built-in emergency features added thanks to this photographer’s creativity. We’d totally buy a phone drone! 66．What did Casey do when he met a stranger in the forest? (no more than 10 words) 67．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? (no more than 15 words) 68．What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean? (1word) 69．Why do people compare Casey to MacGyver? (no more than 10 words) 70．What do you think of Casey? Please explain. (no more than 25 words) 【答案】66．He volunteered/offered to help him get his car out. 67．How Casey managed to send message to his wife by using his drone. 68．Rose/ Flew. 69．Because they were impressed by his creative problem-solving skills./Because of his creative problem-solving skills. 70．I think Casey is a kind person because he offered to help the stranger get his car out./I think Casey is clever and creative because he managed to get help by using the drone. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Casey在森林里遇到一位陌生人的车辆被困，于是Casey主动提出帮助他把车弄出来，并利用无人机向妻子发送信息来寻求帮助的故事。 66．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“On a recent journey to the Cascade Mountain Range in Oregon, Casey was driving through the Willamette National Forest when he came across a stranger whose vehicle was stuck.

He got it going and shipped it up to the sky. (他把手机固定在无人机上。然后，他给妻子发了一系列信息。他告诉妻子他在公园里的位置，然后屏住呼吸，试图发射现在很重的无人机。他成功地启动了无人机，并把它送上了天空。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了Casey如何通过使用无人机向妻子传达信息。故答案为How Casey managed to send message to his wife by using his drone. 68．考查词句猜测。由划线单词下文“Somewhere up there over the tall trees(在高大的树木上空某处)”可知，无人机向上飞得很高，由此可推知，划线单词意为“飞或上升”。故答案为Rose/ Flew. 69．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“Impressed by Casey’s creative problem-solving skills, people are calling him a “real-life MacGyver,” (人们被凯西富有创意的解决问题的能力所打动，称他为“现实生活麦克盖弗”。)”可知，人们将Casey称为现实生活中的MacGyver，是因为他的创造性解决问题的能力（给他们留下了深刻的印象）。故答案为Because they were impressed by his creative problem-solving skills./Because of his creative problem-solving skills. 70．开放试题，言之有理即可。本文主要讲述了Casey在森林里遇到一位陌生人的车辆被困，于是Casey主动提出帮助他把车弄出来，并利用无人机向妻子发送信息来寻求帮助，由此可知，他是一个善良的人，也是一个富有创造力的人，可能的答案是：我认为Casey是个善良的人，因为他提出帮助陌生人把车拿出来。或者我认为凯西Casey聪明而富有创造力，因为他设法使用无人机获得了帮助。故答案为I think Casey is a kind person because he offered to help the stranger get his car out./I think Casey is clever and creative because he managed to get help by using the drone. （2024-2025 学年高二上・耀华中学・期末） Chad Pregracke is a modern-day leader and proof that one person can make a difference. What started as one man’s effort at age 23 to clean up the Mississippi River, has evolved into a cultural movement that had resulted in over 8 million pounds of garbage being cleaned out of America’s rivers. The enthusiasm and leadership skills that Chad possesses have inspired more than 70,000 people to volunteer their time and resources. Growing up in Hampton, Illinois with the Mississippi River in his backyard, Chad has always loved the water. His family spent the majority of their time on, in and around the river. Chad’s first jobs were on the river as a commercial div er and fisherman. Working on the river gave Chad a first-hand and close-up look at the shores where there was poisonous trash here and there. At age 17, Chad began calling government agencies to tell them about the problem. None of his calls resulted in government action and the trash problem seemed to be escalating every year. Chad decided that it was up to him to make a difference and clean the rivers. At age 23, Chad founded Living Lands & Waters, a not-for-profit organization aimed at preserving rivers in America. Chad worked tirelessly and called businesses to ask for an appointment just to tell the story of what he was seeing along the banks of rivers. Chad heard no during every phone call and was near the emotional bottom. After begging a receptionist at Alcoa, Chad finally secured his first appointment. Alcoa took a chance on the young river kid and gave him his first check for $8,400, enough to cover expenses for his first clean-up project. Since 1998, the organization has grown to include over 10 full-time employees, a fleet of 4 barges (大型平底船), 2 towboats(拖船), 1 crane, 6 workboats, 5 work trucks, and a large box truck to drag trash. 71．How does Chad inspire more than 70,000 people to volunteer their time and resources? (no more than 10 words) 72．What problem did Chad find at the shores of the Mississippi River?(no more than 10 words) 73．What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3?(no more than 3 words) 74．What did Chad go through before getting his first business support? (no more than 8 words) 75．Who has inspired you to make a difference? Please explain.(no more than 20 words) 【答案】71．By using his enthusiasm and leadership skills. 72．(There was) too much poisonous trash at the shores. 73．Worsening./ Increasing/ Becoming (Getting) worse./ Getting more serious. 74．(He received)Many refusals and (had/ experienced) low spirits./ Rejections and low mood. 75．(Open.) My father. To improve his health, he gave up smoking and has developed the good habit of doing morning exercises. Or: My teacher. He/ She has inspired me with his/ her dedication and patience to develop efficient learning strategies (myself to the full). 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Chad Pregracke 23岁起致力于清理美国河流垃圾，创立组织并获支持，其成效显著。 71．考查细节理解。根据原文第二段第一句“The enthusiasm and leadership skills that Chad possesses have inspired more than 70,000 people to volunteer their time and resources.(Chad所拥有的热情和领导能力激励了7万多人贡献出他们的时间和资源)”可知，Chad是凭借自己的热情和领导能力激励他人的。故填By using his enthusiasm and leadership skills. 72．考查细节理解。根据原文第二段最后一句“Working on the river gave Chad a first-hand and close-up look at the shores where there was poisonous trash here and there.(在河上工作让Chad得以近距离、第一手地观察河岸，那里到处都是有毒垃圾)”可知，Chad在密西西比河岸边发现的问题是河岸边有毒垃圾太多了。故填(There was) too much poisonous trash at the shores. 73．考查词句猜测。根据原文第三段“None of his calls resulted in government action and the trash problem seemed to be escalating every year.(他的呼吁没有一项促使政府采取行动，而且垃圾问题似乎每年都在escalating)”并结合语境可知，前面说政府没行动，可推测垃圾问题变得更严重了，所以猜测escalating 意思是 “恶化，加剧”。故填Worsening./ Increasing/ Becoming (Getting) worse./ Getting more serious. 74．考查细节理解。根据原文第四段“Chad worked tirelessly and called businesses to ask for an appointment just to tell the story of what he was seeing along the banks of rivers. Chad heard no during every phone call and was near the emotional bottom.(Chad不知疲倦地工作，打电话给各个企业请求预约，只是为了讲述他在河岸上看到的情况。Chad每次打电话都遭到拒绝，情绪几乎跌落到了谷底)”可知，在得到第一笔商业支持之前，Chad多次被拒绝，情绪低落。故填(He received) Many refusals and  (had/ experienced) low spirits./ Rejections and low mood. 75．开放性试题。此题要求简要回答谁激励了你做出改变，并解释原因，总字数不超过20字，答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案可以为：我爸爸。为了改善健康，他戒烟了，养成了晨练的好习惯。或者：我的老师。他/她以他/她的奉献精神和耐心激励我制定有效的学习策略(充分发挥自己)。故填(Open.)

On Nov 24, she passed away in Tianjin at the age of 100. Yeh learned classical poetry and English from a young age. In college, she focused on poetry from the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties. After graduating, she taught at several universities in China and abroad. Yeh faced many struggles in her life. She lost her mother at the age of 17 and her eldest daughter passed away when Yeh was in middle age. “The study of poetry is not a goal that I pursue (追求), but a strength that supports me through difficulties,” she wrote at age 87. She often saw poetry through the viewpoint of her own life experiences, including the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45). She admired the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) poet Xin Qiji (1140-1207) for his determination, noting how he never gave up on getting back his home even during the hardest times. What’s more, Ye Jiaying is passionate about teaching poetry. She has traveled around the world to share the charm of classical Chinese poetry, making it accessible to people from different backgrounds. Her vivid lectures have kindled a love for poetry in the hearts of countless students and enthusiasts. Even in her 90s, Yeh continued teaching to share Chinese poetry with as many people as possible. At the age of 92, she chose 218 ancient poems for children and recorded videos of her interpretations (解读) and readings the following year.

Most of the class might be considered not very well-off, but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional treats of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of her students’ art. And they were. But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of sadness, weak and melancholic. As other children played during break time, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain Douglas felt behind those sad eyes. Yes, his picture was different. When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand. His abstract image captured the imagination of his peers. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people. And so the discussion went—until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself. When the children had gone on to other assignments, she paused at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said softly, “It’s yours, teacher.” She recalled the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How often had she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand. Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work. In fact, people might not always say “thanks,” but they’ll remember the hand that reaches out. 51．What did the teacher expect her students to draw? (no more than 10 words) 52．What does the underlined word “melancholic” mean in Paragraph 2? (One word) 53．What did Douglas’s classmates guess about the hand he drew? (no more than 15 words) 54．Why did Douglas choose to draw his teacher’s hand? (no more than 10 words) 55．Who do you most want to thank and why? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】51．Turkey and other traditional treats of the season. 52．Sad/Sorrowful/Unhappy/Depressed. 53．They guessed it could be the hand of a farmer or a police officer. 54．Because he was thankful for her support and care. 55．I most want to thank my family for their unconditional love and support in every step of my journey. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在感恩节老师让学生们画一幅画的故事，通过一副特殊的画告诉我们老师教导，父母的养育，朋友之间的友谊，以及关爱的重要性。 51．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Most of the class might be considered not very well-off, but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional treats of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of her students’ art.(这个班级的大多数人可能被认为不是很富裕，但仍然有许多人会用火鸡和其他传统的食物来庆祝这个节日。这位老师认为，这些将是她大多数学生的艺术主题。)”可知，老师预料她的学生画火鸡和其他节日的传统美食。故回答为Turkey and other traditional treats of the season. 52．词句猜测题。根据下文“As other children played during break time, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain Douglas felt behind those sad eyes.(当其他孩子在休息时间玩耍时，道格拉斯很可能站在她身边。人们只能猜测道格拉斯在那双悲伤的眼睛后面所感受到的痛苦。)”可知，道格拉斯是一个悲伤的孩子，所以猜测划线词的意思是“悲伤的、抑郁的”。故回答为Sad/ Sorrowful/ Unhappy/ Depressed. 53．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people.(一个孩子猜测这是一个农民的手，因为农民养火鸡。另一个建议当警察，因为警察保护和关心人民。)”可知，道格拉斯的同学对他画的那只手猜测可能是一个农民或警察的手。故回答为They guessed it could be the hand of a farmer or a police officer. 54．细节理解题。根据文章第六段“Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.(道格拉斯非常感谢老师的帮助。)”可知，道格拉斯选择画他老师的手是因为他感谢老师的支持和关心。故回答为Because he was thankful for her support and care. 55．开放性试题。考生言之有理即可。例如：我最想感谢的是我的家人，在我人生的每一步，他们无条件的爱和支持。故回答为I most want to thank my family for their unconditional love and support in every step of my journey. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
