专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自然——保护环境 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·亳州二中·期末） When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper about e-waste. The article said that people were throwing away their e-waste in places it should never go. This was dangerous, the article said, because e-waste contains poisonous chemicals and metals like lead. These harmful substances (物质) can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies, and people. Alex showed the article to a few of his classmates. They were worried too. But what could they do about this problem with e-waste? How would they even start? “The first thing we did,” Alex says, “was to learn more about the problem.” Alex and his friends spent several weeks gathering information about the chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose (处理) of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. “Then,” he says, “we had to find out what the situation was in our town. So we sent out a survey.” What they found shocked them: Of the people who answered the survey, only one in eight even knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it. Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 21,000 pounds of e-waste. The next step was to set up an e-waste drop-off center for the town and to find a responsible company to recycle the waste. That was when Alex and his friends learned another scary fact about e-waste — some irresponsible recycling companies don’t break down the e-waste and dispose of it safely themselves. Instead, they ship it overseas to countries such as China and Nigeria, where local environmental laws are not applied. “We checked carefully online to make sure the company we chose didn’t do this,” Alex says. Because of the work of people like Alex and his team, more and more people are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste. As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s poisonous trash.” 1．What can we learn about Alex from paragraphs 1 and 2? A．He was curious about chemistry experiments. B．He possessed a strong sense of responsibility. C．He set out to solve the problem individually. D．He formed the habit of reading newspapers. 2．What does the underlined word “drive” mean? A．Campaign. B．Imagination. C．Performance. D．Technology. 3．Why did some companies transport the e-waste to other countries? A．Lack of available space was the reason for shipping. B．Recycling was totally banned in their own country. C．They were running their companies on a tight budget. D．They were not charged with insecurely disposing it. 4．What’s the suitable title for the text? A．Reusing School Computers B．Recycling Electronic Waste C．Meeting a challenge D．Doing Scientific Experiment 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了Alex为解决电子垃圾污染问题，所做出的一系列努力。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper about e-waste. The article said that people were throwing away their e-waste in places it should never go. This was dangerous, the article said, because e-waste contains poisonous chemicals and metals like lead. These harmful substances (物质) can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies, and people.(当Alex Lin 11岁的时候，他在报纸上读到一篇关于电子垃圾的令人震惊的文章。这篇文章说，人们把电子垃圾扔到不该去的地方。这篇文章说，这很危险，因为电子垃圾含有有毒化学物质和铅等金属。这些有害物质会泄漏到环境中，进入农作物、动物、供水系统和人体内)”以及第二段“Alex showed the article to a few of his classmates. They were worried too. But what could they do about this problem with e-waste? How would they even start? “The first thing we did,” Alex says, “was to learn more about the problem.” Alex and his friends spent several weeks gathering information about the chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose (处理) of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. “Then,” he says, “we had to find out what the situation was in our town. So we sent out a survey.”(亚历克斯把这篇文章拿给几个同学看。他们也很担心。但是他们能做些什么来解决电子垃圾的问题呢?他们是怎么开始的?“我们做的第一件事，”亚历克斯说，“就是更多地了解这个问题。”亚历克斯和他的朋友们花了几个星期收集有关电子垃圾中的化学物质及其对人类影响的信息。他们学会了如何正确处理电子垃圾以及如何回收利用。“然后，”他说，“我们必须弄清楚我们镇上的情况。所以我们进行了一项调查。”)”可知，Alex了解到电子垃圾中有毒物质会对环境造成危害，因此做了一系列的调研等活动可知，他具有很强的责任感。故选B项。 2．词句猜测题。根据前文“Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot.(亚历克斯和他的朋友们开始行动起来。他们在当地报纸上登广告，并向学生分发通知，要求居民把他们不需要的电子产品带到学校的停车场)”可知，他们在当地报纸打广告，并把通知发给学生，要求居民把不要的电子垃圾产品带到学校停车场，所以这是一次运动，推知drive意为“活动，运动”，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“That was when Alex and his friends learned another scary fact about e-waste—some irresponsible recycling companies don’t break down the e-waste and dispose of it safely themselves. Instead, they ship it overseas to countries such as China and Nigeria, where local environmental laws are not applied.(就在那时，亚历克斯和他的朋友们了解到另一个关于电子垃圾的可怕事实——一些不负责任的回收公司不分解电子垃圾，也不自己安全处理。相反，他们将其运往中国和尼日利亚等不适用当地环境法的国家)”可知，一些不负责的公司会将垃圾运到其它国家，是因为这些国家环保法不健全，在这里不安全的处理垃圾并不会被指控。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper about e-waste. The article said that people were throwing away their e-waste in places it should never go. This was dangerous, the article said, because e-waste contains poisonous chemicals and metals like lead. These harmful substances (物质) can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies, and people.(当Alex Lin 11岁的时候，他在报纸上读到一篇关于电子垃圾的令人震惊的文章。这篇文章说，人们把电子垃圾扔到不该去的地方。这篇文章说，这很危险，因为电子垃圾含有有毒化学物质和铅等金属。这些有害物质会泄漏到环境中，进入农作物、动物、供水系统和人体内)”以及最后一段“Because of the work of people like Alex and his team, more and more people are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste. As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s poisonous trash.”(由于像亚历克斯和他的团队这样的人的工作，越来越多的人得到了安全处理电子垃圾的信息。正如亚历克斯所说，“今天的技术不应该成为明天的有毒垃圾。”)”可知，本文主要讲述了Alex为解决电子垃圾污染问题，所做出的一系列努力，所以B项“Recycling Electronic Waste(回收电子废物)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 Passage 2 （23-24高一上·合肥六中·期末） In the busy and crowded Mexico City, an excellent woman has managed to build a shelter (庇护所) for one of nature’s most beautiful creatures—the hummingbird (蜂鸟) . Meet 73-year-old Catia Lattouf, an eager bird lover who has turned her apartment into a home for these tiny, lively birds. In a city where green spaces are not enough, and city wildlife is often pushed to the edges, Lattouf’s love for hummingbirds began in 2011, just a year after recovering from a deadly illness, when she began caring for a hummingbird that had an eye injured by another bird. She named the bird Gucci after the brand (品牌) of the eyeglasses case where she kept it and soon they became the best of friends. The tiny hummingbird rested on Lattouf’s computer screen while she worked. “It was a good medicine for my spirit,” Lattouf said of Gucci, adding, “It gave me a new life.” Gucci was the first, but many hummingbirds came to be cared for by Lattouf. For years, Lattouf’s home had been a bird shelter, but she was concerned about whether she would be able to meet the requirements of hummingbirds. However, since then, Lattouf has worked to make the public realize the importance of hummingbirds and has saved and freed hundreds of them. Hummingbirds are an important part of the American food web. They help control the population of insects. Although they’re small in size, their diet includes mosquitoes, spiders and fruit flies. Hummingbirds also pollinate (授粉) a wide variety of flowering plants from Alaska to the southernmost point of South America, which is especially important for native plant species. In fact, some plants depend almost completely on hummingbirds for pollination. Through her effort, Lattouf has shown that even in the heart of a big city, it is possible to coexist (共存) with and protect the natural world. In a city that can sometimes feel disconnected from nature, Lattouf’s apartment is a wonder that can be found when we make space for the wild in our everyday lives. 5．Where did the bird’s name come from? A．The shape of the eyeglasses case. B．The place where Lattouf put it. C．The park where Lattouf found it. D．The picture on Lattouf’s computer screen. 6．What can we learn about Gucci? A．It was hard to care for. B． It nearly died of its serious injury. C．It brought some trouble to the author’s work. D．It benefited Lattouf’s health greatly. 7．What does Lattouf keep doing? A．Making good use of hummingbirds. B．Protecting hummingbirds from injury. C．Calling on people to protect hummingbirds. D．Improving the living environment of hummingbirds. 8．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5? A．The value of hummingbirds to humans. B．The possibility of man living with nature. C．The growing conditions of flowering plants. D．The plants that are pollinated by hummingbirds. 【答案】5．B 6．D 7．C 8．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了73岁的Catia Lattouf是一位热心的鸟类爱好者，她把自己的公寓变成了蜂鸟的家。文章讲述了她这么做的起因以及她致力于保护蜂鸟。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段“She named the bird Gucci after the brand (品牌) of the eyeglasses case where she kept it and soon they became the best of friends.(她把这只鸟命名为Gucci，这是她收留它的眼镜盒的品牌，很快他们就成为了最好的朋友)”可知，这只鸟的名字来自于拉图夫放它的地方。故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段““It was a good medicine for my spirit,” Lattouf said of Gucei, adding, “It gave me a new life.”(“这对我的精神来说是一剂良药，”拉图夫谈到古塞时说，“它给了我新的生命。”)”可知，Gucci对Lattouf的健康大有好处。故选D。 7．细节理解题。根据第四段“However, since then, Lattouf has worked to make the public realize the importance of hummingbirds and has saved and freed hundreds of them.(然而，从那时起，拉图夫一直致力于让公众意识到蜂鸟的重要性，并拯救和释放了数百只蜂鸟)”可知，拉图夫一直在呼吁人们保护蜂鸟。故选C。 8．主旨大意题。根据第五段“Hummingbirds are an important part of the American food web. They help control the population of insects. Although they’re small in size, their diet includes the mosquitoes, spiders and fruit flies. Hummingbirds also pollinate (授粉) a wide variety of flowering plants from Alaska to the southernmost point of South America, which is especially important for native plant species. In fact, some plants depend almost completely on hummingbirds for pollination.(蜂鸟是美国食物网的重要组成部分。它们有助于控制昆虫的数量。虽然它们的体型很小，但它们的食物包括蚊子、蜘蛛和果蝇。蜂鸟还为从阿拉斯加到南美洲最南端的各种开花植物授粉，这对本地植物物种尤其重要。事实上，有些植物几乎完全依靠蜂鸟来授粉)”可知，作者想在第5段告诉我们蜂鸟对人类的价值。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25高一上·安徽蚌埠·期末） In school we learned about the Earth. We learned that rivers flow from higher ground to lower ground. They usually end at a bigger river or go into a lake or ocean. I can see that every day in Chicago. Our river goes into the lake. It’s a giant lake. We used to go fishing on the river every summer. Most days, you would find me and my grandfather there, fishing. My father was busy working for the city. I did not know what his job was. He said it was in the Sanitary and Ship Canal. My grandfather would take me to the river. “In the old days,” he said, “this was a clean stream. Now look at it. It is dirty.” Sometimes we even saw dead fish floating on it. When we brought the fish home, my mother would throw them out. “We can’t eat this. This is dirty, bad fish.” She sounded angry. So my grandfather and I stopped bringing the fish home. Sometimes we would go to fish and throw them back. But mostly we just stayed at home. We were sad about it. Then one day, my father was so busy that he was not at home. That New Year’s Day, he worked, too. My mother was worried, “It is too cold.” But he went anyway. Then two days later, the newspaper said, “It is a miracle (奇迹)!” That was the headline. I read the article. It told how the workers on the Sanitary and Ship Canal had done something impossible. They had changed the Chicago River completely. They dug such a great hole that the river rushed away from the lake. It now went to the west. I was excited. So was my grandfather. He said, “Now we can go fishing this summer.” We both laughed. So did my mother. My father smiled a lot, all day long. 9．What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To show the miracle of nature. B．To introduce the topic of the article. C．To explain the concept of the Earth. D．To test readers' knowledge about rivers. 10．Why did the author stop bringing home fish? A．The fish were too dirty to eat. B．He wanted to protect the river. C．His mother disliked eating fish. D．The fish in the river were all dead. 11．What miracle did the author’s father and his co-workers create? A．They saved all the fish in the Chicago River. B．They kept the Chicago River incredibly clean. C．They dug a huge hole to store the polluted water. D．They changed the direction of the Chicago River. 12．Which of the following words can best describe the author’s father? A．Devoted. B．Confident. C．Out-going. D．Open-minded. 【答案】9．B 10．A 11．D 12．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者家乡河流的污染问题以及父亲和同事们改变芝加哥河流向的奇迹。 9．推理判断题。由文章第一段“In school we learned about the Earth. We learned that rivers flow from higher ground to lower ground. They usually end at a bigger river or go into a lake or ocean. I can see that every day in Chicago. (在学校，我们学习了关于地球的知识。我们了解到河流从高地流向低地，它们通常汇入更大的河流，或者流入湖泊、海洋。这在芝加哥，我每天都能亲眼见到。)”和第二段中“Our river goes into the lake. It’s a giant lake. We used to go fishing on the river every summer. (我们这里的河流最终流入了一个巨大的湖泊。以前，每年夏天我们都会去那条河里钓鱼。)”、第四段中“When we brought the fish home, my mother would throw them out. “We can’ t eat this. This is dirty, bad fish.” She sounded angry. So my grandfather and I stopped bringing the fish home. (当我们把钓到的鱼带回家时，母亲会把它们扔掉。“我们不能吃这个。这是脏的、不好的鱼。”她听起来很生气。所以，祖父和我不再把鱼带回家。)”可知，第一段主要引出河流流向这一话题，从而引出下文关于芝加哥河流的叙述，所以此段的目的是引出文章的主题，即作者家乡河流的污染问题以及父亲和同事们改变芝加哥河流向的奇迹。故选B。 10．细节理解题。由文章第四段中“When we brought the fish home, my mother would throw them out. “We can’ t eat this. This is dirty,bad fish.” She sounded angry. So my grandfather and I stopped bringing the fish home. (当我们把钓到的鱼带回家时，母亲会把它们扔掉。“我们不能吃这个。这是脏的、不好的鱼。”她听起来很生气。所以，祖父和我不再把鱼带回家。)”可知，因为鱼太脏了不能吃，所以作者不再带鱼回家了。故选A。 11．细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中“They had changed the Chicago River completely. They dug such a great hole that the river rushed away from the lake. It now went to the west. (他们彻底改变了芝加哥河。他们挖了一个大坑，河水从湖里冲了出来。现在它流向西方。)”可知，作者的父亲和他的同事们创造了将芝加哥河改道的奇迹。故选D。 12．推理判断题。由文章第五段中“Then one day my father was so busy that he was not at home. That New Year’ s Day he worked, too. (后来有一天，我父亲太忙了，没在家。那个新年他也在工作。)”和第六段中“Then two days later the newspaper said, “It is a miracle (奇迹)!” That was the headline. I read the article. It told how the workers on the Sanitary and Ship Canal had done something impossible. (两天后，报纸上说：“这是一个奇迹！”这是头条新闻。我读了这篇文章。它讲述了卫生运河的工人们是如何完成了一项不可能的任务。)”可知，作者的父亲在新年都在工作，并且和同事们一起完成了将芝加哥河改道的奇迹，说明他是一个非常专心致志的人、具有奉献精神的人。故选A。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·安徽安庆·期末） Only six days ago I moved into my new home at Western University in London, Ontario. When moving to a new place, people have a variety of feelings. However, I surprisingly didn’t feel nervous. I was so excited to make new friends and started doing what I was interested in. What was really interesting about my move-in experience was that I was forced to talk to new people. None of my close friends from home went to Western University, so I had to make new friends. I felt alone, but I knew something positive was coming. At first it was very worrying. I felt so alone in a sea of people that I didn’t know. After being there for five minutes, I quickly realized that everyone was in the same situation as me. It was comfortable when senior students reminded us that whatever feelings we were having, the people around us were feeling the same way. We were not alone. My first dinner with my floor-mates less than a week ago was possibly one of the most awkward experiences I have ever had. Sitting down and eating with a group of strangers can be really worrying but now I can say that everyone on my floor has become very close. What I have learned is that it takes time to adapt to being in a new environment. The first night was hard but within 24 hours, I made a lot of new friends. It was so much fun. Starting at a new school can be hard but you should bravely face the challenges in front of you. Get out there, make new friends and stay positive! 13．How did the author feel when moving to a new place? A．Surprised. B．Worried. C．Happy. D．Awkward. 14．What made the author think the move-in experience fun? A．Chatting with strangers. B．Meeting new classmates. C．Living with more people. D．Making close friends. 15．How did the author get used to a new environment? A．Immediately. B．Suddenly. C．Quickly. D．Easily. 16．What is the most important when starting at a new school? A．Asking teachers for help. B．Being positive about a new life. C．Having a good sleep. D．Having a similar experience. 【答案】13．C 14．A 15．C 16．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者六年前搬到新地方适应新生活的故事。 13．细节理解题。根据第一段“However, I surprisingly didn’t feel nervous. I was so excited to make new friends and started doing what I was interested in. (然而，令人惊讶的是，我没有感到紧张。我很兴奋能交到新朋友，并开始做我感兴趣的事情)”可知，当作者搬到一个新的地方时，他感到快乐。故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据第二段“What was really interesting about my move-in experience was that I was forced to talk to new people.(在我的搬家经历中，真正有趣的是我被迫与陌生人交谈)”可知，和陌生人聊天让作者认为入住体验很有趣。故选A。 15．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The first night was hard but within 24 hours, I made a lot of new friends. It was so much fun. (第一个晚上很艰难，但在24小时内，我交了很多新朋友)”可知，作者很快适应新环境。故选C。 16．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Starting at a new school can be hard but you should bravely face the challenges in front of you.(开始一所新学校可能会很艰难，但你应该勇敢地面对面前的挑战)”可知，开始一所新学校最重要的是对新生活持积极态度。故选B。 Passage 2 （23-24高一上·六安二中·期末） I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment. Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then. My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced. Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate and find great satisfaction in it, after all. 17．What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A．He is content with his learning achievements. B．His good grades got him a good job. C．He refuses to compete with his peers fiercely. D．His views on social values are well known. 18．Which role does the author play in his parents’ relationship? A．A bystander (旁观者). B．A judge. C．A helper. D．A destroyer. 19．What is the greatest achievement for the author? A．The contribution to volunteering. B．The success in exams. C．The recovery of confidence in life. D．The work in school’s service. 20．Why does the author want to study social work at university? A．To gain a well-paid job. B．To give his life a purpose. C．To better help the disadvantaged. D．To meet his grandparents’ expectations. 【答案】17．A 18．C 19．A 20．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者学习成绩优异，还善于处理家庭关系，同时作者还在养老院做义工。养老院志愿服务作者带来了极大的满足感。 17．推理判断题。根据第一段“I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment.(我喜欢学习，在我的课上一直拿A。有一年，我在期末考试中获得了全班第一名。这是一项伟大的成就)”可推知，作者对自己的学习成就很满意。故选A。 18．细节理解题。根据第二段“Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad.(另一件让我高兴的事是我设法改善了爸爸妈妈之间的关系)”可知，作者在父母的关系中扮演了一个帮手的角色。故选C。 19．细节理解题。根据第三段“My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home.(然而，我最骄傲的成就是我在当地老人院的成功工作)”可知，作者最大的成就是对志愿服务的贡献。故选A。 20．推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate and find great satisfaction in it, after all.(当我反思我的成就时，我特别为我在敬老院的服务感到自豪，所以我希望在大学学习社会工作，将来成为一名社会工作者。毕竟，我希望能更熟练地照顾那些不幸的人，并从中获得极大的满足)”可知，作者想在大学学习社会工作专业是为了更好地帮助弱势群体。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25高一上·安徽涡阳·期末） In my twenties, I began my career in Tupperware. I earned my Tupperware sample kit (样品套装) and bought a datebook, ready to fill in all the Tupperware parties I was going to hold. As my datebook began to fill, I became a Tupperware manager, leading and training a team of fifty girls. I found I had no time for myself. I was missing events with my children because I was so booked up with Tupperware parties and trainings. Whenever I found a gap in my schedule, I added something to it, as any successful person would do. My personal life was suffering, though. When I booked a party for my daughter’s birthday, I knew I had to do something fast. I was ready to quit. I met with my trainer, and the first thing she asked was to see my datebook. “Well, no wonder,” she said. “You have no lily pads.” “What is a lily pad?” I asked. “They are me-time spaces you block out in your day or week. Spaces in your week that you move to one after the other for relief from your busy schedule.” I thought a full datebook made me look successful, and that people want to do business with successful people. My lily pads were my children’s events, birthdays, and lunch with my mom or a friend. I started to write down items in my datebook, noting “Lily P.” and the time. I had been so afraid to turn down a party or training opportunity with one of my Tupperware dealers, but I found that when they saw that the time they wanted was already booked, they were fine with turning to another time that I offered them. My lily pads were my secret me time and they were easy to protect. 21．What did the author depend on to improve her performance? A．The database. B．Tupperware parties. C．Tupperware sample kit. D．Professional knowledge. 22．What advice did the trainer give her? A．Quit her job immediately. B．Schedule personal time regularly. C．Focus more on training other dealers. D．Increase the number of Tupperware parties. 23．Which of the following might be the author’s “Lily P.”? A．Family gatherings. B．Business meetings. C．Training activities. D．Important events. 24．Why are the Tupperware dealers mentioned in the last paragraph? A．To prove customers come first. B．To advertise for Tupperware products. C．To show personal time is easy to protect. D．To share how to become a successful salesperson. 【答案】21．B 22．B 23．A 24．C 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了作者从兼职销售特百惠产品开始，逐渐发展成为团队领导者的过程，以及在这个过程中如何意识到需要保护个人和家庭的特殊时间，学会了合理安排时间，并学会了用“Lily P.”（即“莲叶”时间，用于个人放松和家庭活动）来平衡工作与生活的故事。 21．细节理解题。根据第一段“I earned my Tupperware sample kit (样品套装) and bought a datebook, ready to fill in all the Tupperware parties I was going to hold. (我拿到了我的特百惠样品包，买了一本记事本，准备填写我要举办的所有特百惠聚会。)”以及第二段“As my datebook began to fill, I became a Tupperware manager, leading and training a team of fifty girls. (当我的日程排得满满的时候，我成了特百惠的经理，领导并培训了一个由50名女孩组成的团队。)”可知，作者依靠特百惠聚会来提高她的表现。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段“I met with my trainer, and the first thing she asked was to see my datebook. “Well, no wonder,” she said. “You have no lily pads.” “What is a lily pad?” I asked. “They are me-time spaces you block out in your day or week. Spaces in your week that you move to one after the other for relief from your busy schedule.” (我见了我的培训师，她首先要求看我的日程表。“难怪，”她说，“你没有给自己留’Lily pad’的时间。’Lily pad’是什么?”我问。“它们是你每天或每周为自己预留的空闲时间。在你忙碌的日程中，这些时间是你可以一个接一个地利用，以获得放松的时间。”)”可知，培训师建议她要定期安排个人时间，即“Lily pad”时间，以从忙碌的日程中获得放松。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据第四段“My lily pads were my children’s events, birthdays, and lunch with my mom or a friend. (我的lily pads是我孩子们的活动，生日，和我妈妈或朋友的午餐。)”可知，家庭聚会是作者的“Lily P.”。故选A。 24．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I had been so afraid to turn down a party or training opportunity with one of my Tupperware dealers, but I found that when they saw that the time they wanted was already booked, they were fine with turning to another time that I offered them. My lily pads were my secret me time and they were easy to protect. (我曾经非常害怕拒绝我的一个特百惠经销商的聚会或培训机会，但我发现，当他们看到他们想要的时间已经被预订时，他们会很好地转向我提供给他们的另一个时间。我的lily pads是我的秘密时间，它们很容易保护。)”可知，最后一段提到了特百惠的经销商是为了显示个人时间容易保护。故选C。 Passage 4 （24-25高一上·安徽·期末） During my life in high school, a work-study program changed me a lot. It was not just an opportunity; it was a life-changing experience. It provided me with the chance to learn not only from textbooks but also from life itself. The program is designed to mix academic studies with work experience, allowing us to apply what we learn in a practical setting. It’s a chance to explore potential (潜在的) careers, to understand the world, and to develop a strong work ethic (职业道德). I remember my first day on the job, filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. I was arranged to work in the school’s administrative office, a busy place with a lot of activities. My tasks were simple at first: filing documents, answering phones, and assisting with basic office duties. But as I grew more comfortable, my responsibilities (责任) increased. I learned the importance of time management (管理), of meeting deadlines, and of working as part of a team. I discovered that the skills I was learning in my business classes were directly applicable to my work. It was amazing to see the theory come to life. But the work-study program wasn’t just about work. It was about learning to balance responsibilities. Balancing schoolwork and a job was challenging, but it taught me the importance of rules and the value of hard work. I learned to manage my time skillfully. The most important lesson, however, was about the meaning of labor. Whether it was cleaning the school halls or assisting in the library, every task was important, and every role was valued. The program taught me that no job is small if it’s done with effort and pride. The work-study program has been an important part of my high school experience. It’s not just about earning a paycheck; it’s about earning a sense of self-worth and a glimpse into the future. It’s a stepping stone towards adulthood, a bridge between the world of learning and the world of work. 25．Why is the work-study program set up? A．To offer students a source of earning money. B．To change students’ learning experiences. C．To teach students how to manage an office. D．To prepare students for a specific job path. 26．How did the work-study program help the author balance responsibilities? A．By allowing him to leave his schoolwork alone. B．By providing a relaxed work environment. C．By teaching him the value of hard work. D．By giving him a lot of free time. 27．What is the main lesson the author learned from the work-study program? A．Every task has importance and value. B．Effort and pride make jobs colorful. C．Library work is meaningful. D．Practice is better than ideas. 28．Which of the following words can best describe the author? A．Proud and creative. B．Curious and powerful. C．Doubtful and careful. D．Positive and thoughtful. 【答案】25．B 26．C 27．A 28．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加勤工俭学项目的经历与收获。 25．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“The program is designed to mix academic studies with work experience, allowing us to apply what we learn in a practical setting. It’s a chance to explore potential (潜在的) careers, to understand the world, and to develop a strong work ethic (职业道德). (该计划旨在将学术研究与工作经验相结合，使我们能够在实际环境中应用所学知识。这是一个探索潜在职业、了解世界和培养强烈职业道德的机会。)”可知，设立勤工俭学项目旨在改变学生的学习体验，让他们通过实践将理论付诸实践。故选B。 26．细节理解题。由文章第五段中“Balancing schoolwork and a job was challenging, but it taught me the importance of rules and the value of hard work. I learned to manage my time skillfully. (平衡学业和工作很有挑战性，但它教会了我规则的重要性和努力工作的价值。我学会了巧妙地管理时间。)”可知，勤工俭学项目通过教授作者努力工作的价值来帮助他平衡责任。故选C。 27．细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中“The most important lesson, however, was about the meaning of labor. Whether it was cleaning the school halls or assisting in the library, every task was important, and every role was valued. (然而，最重要的一课是关于劳动的意义。无论是打扫学校大厅还是在图书馆帮忙，每一项任务都很重要，每一个角色都受到重视。)”可知，作者从勤工俭学项目中学到的主要教训是每一项任务都有重要性和价值。故选A。 28．推理判断题。由文章整体内容，尤其是由文章最后一段“The work-study program has been an important part of my high school experience. It’s not just about earning a paycheck; it’s about earning a sense of self-worth and a glimpse into the future. It’s a stepping stone towards adulthood, a bridge between the world of learning and the world of work. (勤工俭学是我高中生活的重要组成部分。这不仅仅是挣薪水的问题；它是关于获得自我价值感和对未来的一瞥。它是通往成年的垫脚石，是连接学习世界和工作世界的桥梁。)”可知，作者讲述了勤工俭学项目对自己的影响，认为这个项目对自己来说不仅仅是为了赚钱，更是为了获得自我价值感和对未来的一瞥。这是通往成年世界的垫脚石，是学习和工作世界之间的桥梁。这表明作者对此持有积极和深思熟虑的态度。因此，最能描述作者的词是“Positive and thoughtful (积极和深思熟虑的)”。故选D。 主题03 人与社会——社会与文化 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·合肥六校联盟·期末） I fell into love with shopping at the age of 10. After a short time being just a buyer, I wanted to sell something. I had many things around the house from my childhood that I no longer needed. I knew, with the help of my father, I could make money. I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s account (账户). On December 9, 2022, I opened my own account and began to start my own business. Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around the house wasn’t making me the kind of money that I wanted to make, so I decided to turn my business into a resale (零售) shop. I went around to the garage sale (旧货出售处) and bought items at low prices and sold them at higher prices. Last November, I went to a garage sale that was a little bit different. A single lady had many nice items that I knew I would sell quickly. I went up to her and started a conversation with her. Through the conversation, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to support her family. I decided to sell some of her things to help her out. She looked at me for a moment and then broke into tears. I took away some of her things and over the next month, I made over $1,500 for her! She was so thankful for all of my help. I have never felt so happy to help someone in my life. I felt as if I had made a difference in this world and that my skills could be used to help someone who would really need it. 29．At first, __________ helped her make money by selling things. A．the girl’s father B．the girl’s mother C．the girl’s teacher D．a single lady 30．The writer went to the garage sale to __________.

A．disappointed B．amazed C．proud D．appreciative 【答案】29．A 30．B 31．C 32．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者业余活动的前后改变：由喜欢购物变成卖东西，乃至后来在旧货出售处遇到一位出于困境中的女士，作者帮助她解决困难的暖人故事。 29．细节理解题。根据第一中“I knew, with the help of my father, I could make money. I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s account (账户).(我知道，在父亲的帮助下，我可以赚钱。我在爸爸的账户上卖东西，玩得很开心)”可知，起初，女孩的父亲通过卖东西帮助她赚钱。故选A。 30．细节理解题。根据第二段中“so I decided to turn my business into a resale (零售) shop. I went around to the garage sale (旧货出售处) and bought items at low prices and sold them at higher prices.(所以我决定把我的生意变成一个零售商店。我去旧货出售处，以低价买东西，再以高价卖出)”可知，作者决定经营零售商店，所以去了旧货出售处，为零售商店购买一些商品，故选B。 31．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Through the conversation, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to support her family. I decided to sell any of her things for her to help her out.(通过谈话，我知道她现在没有工作，需要钱来养家。我决定卖掉她所有的东西来帮她渡过难关)”可知，作者决定帮助这位女士卖东西，是因为知道了她生活艰难。故选C。 32．细节理解题。根据第三段中“She was so thankful for all of my help.(她非常感谢我的帮助)”可知，那位女士对于作者为她所做的一切心怀感激，故选D。 Passage 2 （23-24高一上·宿州十三校·期末） I hesitated when my friend suggested that we join the school’s new Tai Chi club. I used to think that tai chi was for the elderly. However, the first class changed my previous understanding of tai chi. A year later, I can say that tai chi has had a huge impact on me. The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves with descriptive names really caught my imagination, like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg.” When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird. However, nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting, a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts, developed tai chi based on martial arts skills. After the first few basic tai chi lessons, I found myself bored and aching from doing the same slow moves over and over again. Fortunately, my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind during ever day practice. With these requirements of tai chi in mind, I found to my satisfaction that my balance and flexibility slowly improved, that I was able to do more difficult moves, and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever. Meanwhile, I started to explore the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi. I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the unity of opposites. Neither can exist independent of the other. The practice of tai chi aims to keep the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out. Ultimately, tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace. The experience of a year of tai chi has affected my everyday life positively. I sleep more soundly at night and feel more energetic during the day. I feel happier and more confident. Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind, enabling me to stay calm in stressful situations. I am sure I will continue to practise tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me. 33．Why did the author join the Tai Chi Club? A．Because of his friend’s advice. B．Because of his interest in it. C．Because of the school’s request. D．Because of his parents’ suggestion. 34．Which of the following words can describe the moves of tai chi? A．Quick and beautiful. B．Quick and free. C．Slow and beautiful. D．Slow and boring. 35．What is the Chinese culture behind tai chi? A．Tai chi is influenced by Laozi’s philosophy of water. B．Tai chi can have a positive effect in people’s lives. C．You can find the origin of tai chi in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang. D．Tai chi can make people feel energetic and confident. 36．What does the underlined word mean? A．Finally B．Sometimes C．Firstly D．Constantly 【答案】33．A 34．C 35．C 36．A 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了太极运动对于作者的影响。 33．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I hesitated when my friend suggested that we join the school’s new Tai Chi club.(当朋友建议我们加入学校新成立的太极俱乐部时，我犹豫了一下)”可知，朋友的建议让作者加入了学校太极俱乐部。故选A。 34．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“After the first few basic tai chi lessons, I found myself bored and aching from doing the same slow moves over and over again.(在最初的几堂基础太极课后，我发现自己厌倦了一遍又一遍地做同样的缓慢动作)”及文章第二段“The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves with descriptive names really caught my imagination, like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg.” When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird.(最初的几节太极课既有趣又简单，那些动作的名字也很吸引我，比如“白鹤展翅”和“金鸡独立”。当我问我的教练这些有趣的名字是从哪里来的，他告诉我关于太极的历史。据说，13世纪的道家张三丰从蛇与鸟的搏斗中得到灵感，发明了太极拳)”可知，太极拳的招式是缓慢并且优美的。故选C。 35．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Meanwhile, I started to explore the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi. I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the the unity of opposite.(同时，我开始探索太极拳背后的中国古代文化。我发现太极深深植根于中国的阴阳哲学，阴阳被认为是对立的统一)”可知，太极背后的中国文化是在中国的阴阳哲学中找到太极的起源。故选C。 36．词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“The practice of tai chi aims to keep the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out.(练习太极的目的是通过相反的动作来保持身体的阴阳平衡:前后，上下，左右，吸气和呼气)”表明太极的动作，划线词后一句“ tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace.(太极拳带来一种身体平衡和精神平静的状态)”可知，这些招式最终会带来一种平衡的状态，划线词与Finally（最终）意思相近。故选A。 Passage 3 （23-24高一上·安徽庐江·期末） In 2019, Wang Jibing, a food delivery rider, had an unpleasant experience due to the wrong address left by a customer. Wang searched three buildings and climbed 18 floors before he finally managed to deliver the food to the customer, who rudely scolded (责备) Wang for arriving late. Wang was sad and depressed. As a husband and father of three children, who took the majority of the financial responsibility in his family, he had to bear all silently. On his way home that day, Wang wrote a poem, Man in a Hurry, expressing his feelings. Since then, Wang has been writing poems inspired by his daily life, including a poem, New Temple, which occurred to him after he delivered food to construction workers repairing an old temple, and Forgive, based on his observation of a young couple fighting. Wang’s poems, simple yet real, are seen as a tool to process his emotions, especially the personal experiences he has during his work. His heart is healed (治愈) by writing the poems, and he has shared them with his friends. In 2022, one of his friends posted Man in a Hurry online. It quickly went viral and was viewed for over 20 million times. The same year, Wang published a collection of more than 180 poems under the same title. So far, Wang has written about 4,000 poems. This April, Wang published his second poetry collection, titled I Love This World Clumsily, featuring about 130 poems he has written since July 2022. “Poetry is like a distraction from stress and an opportunity to record my life. Whether it’s coping with pain, dealing with stressful situations, or coming to terms with life’s struggles (艰辛), poetry makes me confident and happy,” says Wang. “The feedback from the readers is a big encouragement to me. Those poems came to me naturally and I enjoyed writing them very much. However, the priority (最重要的事) is to look after my family, so I will keep my regular job delivering food,” says Wang. 37． What-can we know from Paragraph 1? A．Wang was in a hurry for the bad weather.

B．Poetry makes him confident and pleased. C．His life is easy and relaxing. D．He makes money by writing poetry. 40．What kind of person is Wang according to the passage? A．Talented and generous. B．Brave and thoughtful. C．Responsible and creative. D．Wise and humorous. 【答案】37．D 38．C 39．B 40．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了外卖员王计兵根据自己送外卖的日常经历创作诗歌，并在网上走红的故事。 37．细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a husband and father of three children, who took the majority of the financial responsibility in his family, he had to bear all silently. On his way home that day, Wang wrote a poem, Man in a Hurry, expressing his feelings.(作为一个丈夫和三个孩子的父亲，他承担了家里大部分的经济责任，他不得不默默忍受。在回家的路上，王计兵写了一首诗《赶时间的人》，表达了他的感受)”可知，王计兵通过写诗来宣泄他委屈的感情。故选D项。 38．词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“was viewed for over 20 million times (被浏览超过两千万次)”可知，王计兵的这首诗被大量浏览，故划线词went viral意思应该是“快速走红，迅速传开”，与become a hit“成为热门”意思相近。故选C项。 39．推理判断题。根据文章““Poetry is like a distraction from stress and an opportunity to record my life. Whether it’s coping with pain, dealing with stressful situations, or coming to terms with life’s struggles, poetry makes me confident and happy,” says Wang.(王说： “诗歌就像是一种从压力中解脱出来的消遣，也是一个记录我生活的机会。无论是应对痛苦、应对压力，还是接受生活中的挣扎，诗歌都让我自信和快乐”)”可知，诗歌使他充满自信和喜悦。故选B项。 40．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““The feedback from the readers is a big encouragement to me. Those poems came to me naturally and I enjoyed writing them very much. However, the priority is to look after my family, so I will keep my regular job delivering food,” says Wang.(王说：“读者的反馈对我来说是一个很大的鼓励。这些诗是我自然而然地想到的，我非常喜欢写。然而，我的首要任务是照顾我的家人，所以我会继续我送外卖的工作”)”可知，王计兵肩负起家庭的重担，辛勤工作，同时他自然地创作诗歌，并乐在其中，故他是一个负责任且有创造力人。故选C项。 主题01 人与社会——社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·淮北一中·期末） When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address?” “No, but I’ll recognize it; there was a picture in the magazine.” “Oh, stop. There it is!” The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us. “May I help you?” a man asked. “No,” I said. “We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures (雕刻) in one room. Suddenly, I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted (震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!” “There’s some really good stuff (艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything. The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened. Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence (住宅), long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?” “Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.” “That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.” 1． What do we know about Marian McNay? A．She was a journalist. B． She was a painter. C．She was a museum director. D．She was a community leader. 2． Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house? A．She disliked people who were nosy. B．She felt nervous when talking to strangers. C．She thought of him as a tour guide D．She knew more about art than the man. 3． How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall? A．Puzzled. B．Concerned. C．Frightened. D．Delighted. 4． What could we learn from the last paragraph? A．People should have good taste to enjoy life. B．People should spend more time with their families. C．People tend to be blind to the beauty around them. D．People tend to educate teenagers at a museum. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述作者和Sally驱车去参观McNay博物馆的故事。由于博物馆是免费的，她们直接就进去了，而这时大厅里的人们停止了谈话，盯着他们。她们参观了很长时间，最后才知道这是一个私人的民宅。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. (17岁的时候，我在杂志上读到一篇文章，讲的是一个叫麦克奈的博物馆，曾经是一位名叫Marian McNay的水彩画家的家)”可知，Marian McNay是一名水彩画家。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘May I help you?’ a man asked. ‘No,’ I said. ‘We’re fine.’ Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? (“我能帮你吗?”一个男人问。“不，”我说。“我们很好。导游让我心烦意乱。如果他们谈论了很长时间一幅你不是很感兴趣的画呢？)”可知，作者拒绝了屋子里男人的帮助是因为作者把他当成了“让人心烦意乱”的导游。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The people in the hall seemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? (大厅里的人似乎很爱管闲事，好奇地盯着我。他们怎么了？)”可知，被大厅里的人盯着看，作者感到很困惑。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. (在你来之前，我从没意识到我住的地方有多美。我以前从没觉得自己很幸运)”可知，女主人在作者到来之前从来没有发现自己宅子的美，由此推知，人们通常对身边的美视而不见。故选C。 Passage 2 （23-24高一上·合肥六校联盟·期末） My husband Wes and I, and our two dogs, have spent several years living in an RV (野营车) — calling it home and driving it all around the United States. Wes and I had just sold our house outside of St. Louis, Missouri, and moved to a town in Colorado. Though we enjoyed our new state, we were traveling back home for visits often. So at first the RV was intended for traveling in comfort: We could save money on hotels, travel at a more relaxed pace, avoid packing (打包行李) and unpacking, and be able to take our dogs with us. Plus, my husband had always wanted one. We bought the first RV in July 2015 and by September of that year, we were already considering living in it full-time. Wes and I love traveling and being “location independent,” and our jobs allow us to work from anywhere. At first, it did seem strange to live on the road, but once we officially made the decision, in February 2016, we never looked back. I absolutely love living in an RV, so my list of “advantages” is long. I love being able to park my home right next to the best biking trails (小路), change the view from the windows, follow the good weather, and explore unusual destinations (目的地). The biggest “disadvantage” is the planning that’s necessary. You do have to plan ahead where you are going to park because sometimes places are full. As a full-time traveler, you are often planning, moving, and trying new things. So once you arrive somewhere, it’s nice to stay a while and just sit still. That’s why I suggest that RVers park their RV every once in a while, or move a little slower. 5．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the author and her husband? A．Why they bought their first RV. B．Where they traveled in their RV. C．How they went on holiday in an RV. D．How they gave up their house to get an RV. 6．What did the author and her husband do in February 2016? A．They moved to a new city and found new jobs. B．They began living in their RV full-time. C．They rebuilt their house in Colorado. D．They sold their first RV. 7．What does the author think of her lifestyle? A．It is busy and challenging. B．It still needs some changes. C．It is comfortable and satisfying. D．It has made her more independent. 8．What does the author suggest RVers do? A．Try new types of RVs. B．Head for thinly populated places. C．Slow down and relax on the road. D．Avoid making many plans ahead. 【答案】5．A 6．B 7．C 8．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和丈夫Wes以及他们的两只狗已经在一辆野营车里住了好几年了——把它叫做家，开着它周游美国的经历。 5．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Wes and I had just sold our house outside of St. Louis, Missouri and moved to a town in Colorado. Though we enjoyed our new state, we were traveling back home for visits often. So at first the RV was intended for traveling in comfort: We could save money on hotels, travel at a more relaxed pace, avoid packing (打包行李) and unpacking, and be able to take our dogs with us. Plus, my husband had always wanted one. (韦斯和我刚刚卖掉了我们在密苏里州圣路易斯郊外的房子，搬到了科罗拉多州的一个小镇。虽然我们很享受这种新状态，但我们还是经常回家探亲。所以一开始，野营车的目的是为了舒适地旅行：我们可以省下酒店的钱，以更轻松的节奏旅行，避免打包和拆包，还可以带着我们的狗。而且，我丈夫一直想要一辆。)”可知，第二段主要解释了作者购买野营车的原因。故选A。 6．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“At first it did seem strange to live on the road, but once we officially made the decision, in February 2016, we never looked back. (起初，住在路上似乎很奇怪，但一旦我们在2016年2月正式做出决定，我们就再也没有回头。)”可推知，从2016年二月开始，作者和丈夫开始整天住在野营车里。故选B。 7．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I absolutely love living in an RV, so my list of “advantages' is long. I love being able to park my home right next to the best biking trails (小路), change the view from the windows, follow the good weather, and explore unusual destinations (目的地). (我绝对喜欢住在房车里，所以我的“优点”清单很长。我喜欢把我的家停在最好的自行车道旁边，改变窗外的景色，跟随好天气，探索不寻常的目的地。)”可推知，作者认为自己的生活方式是舒服的和令人满意的。故选C。 8．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“As a full-time traveler, you are often planning, moving, and trying new things. So once you arrive somewhere, it’s nice to stay a while and just sit still. That’s why I suggest that RVers park their RV every once in a while, or move a little slower. (作为一个全职旅行者，你经常计划、移动和尝试新事物。所以一旦你到达某个地方，呆一会儿，静静地坐着是很好的。这就是为什么我建议游行者每隔一段时间就停一下他们的野营车，或者稍微慢一点。)”可知，作者建议游行者在路上慢下来，放松一下。故选C。 Passage 3 （23-24高一上·皖南十校·期末） I worked in a small company with about thirty-five employees (雇员). We had a good-sized kitchen with a fridge that several employees used. But people would often go to the fridge to surprisingly find either their whole lunch missing, or in my case, my can of Cherry Coke gone. I usually kept it in my lunch bag. At times when I bought takeaway food, I would get two—one for lunch and one for dinner—so I didn’t have my lunch bag. Even so, I often couldn’t find the food. It was a shock to everyone. We doubted who was stealing, but could never prove (证明) it. One day, a good idea came to my mind, and I couldn’t wait to try it. It was break time at noon. I headed down to the kitchen about five minutes early and gave my Coke such a hard shake that I feared it might actually go off in my hands. I placed it back in the fridge. Then, I hid in a cupboard in the kitchen, waiting for the right moment. BINGO! A lady came in and took the Coke. I put my hand over my mouth for her to open it, but she took it with her and left. I thought she would open it in the hall. No! As I left the kitchen, I heard her yell (叫喊). I passed her office, and Coke was everywhere: the walls, the floor, all over her desk, computer, her work, and all over her—everywhere! Well, food has never gone missing again since then because the lady got fired. 9．Why did the employees feel surprised? A．Their lunch was often lost. B．The fridge was full of free food. C．The kitchen was never clean. D．The company was small-sized. 10．Why did the author hide in the kitchen? A．To play a joke on the lady. B．To carry out some repairs inside. C．To find out who was stealing. D．To prove who was the best worker. 11．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．The kitchen. B．The drink C．The hand. D．The fridge. 12．What is the text mainly about? A．A small company. B．An honest lady. C．A special lunch. D．An office story. 【答案】9．A 10．C 11．B 12．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。记录了作者公司员工午餐被偷，然后作者想办法抓到了小偷的办公室故事。 9．细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“But people would often go to the fridge to surprisingly find either their whole lunch missing, or in my case, my can of Cherry Coke gone. (但人们经常会去冰箱，惊奇地发现他们的整个午餐都不见了，或者就我个人情况而言，樱桃可乐罐不见了。)”可知，员工总是发现自己的午餐消失。故选A项。 10．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“One day, a good idea came to my mind, and I couldn’t wait to try it.( 有一天，我想到了一个好主意，我迫不及待地想试试。)”可知，作者急切想知道纠结是谁偷午餐，于是他想出了一个办法；此外第三段最后一句“Then, I hid into a cupboard in the kitchen, waiting for the right moment.( 然后，我躲在厨房的橱柜里，等待合适的时机。)”可知他藏在橱柜里是为了等偷午餐的人出现。故选C项。 11．词句猜测题。根据第三段第二句“I headed down to the kitchen about five minutes early and gave my Coke such a hard shake that I feared it may actually go off in my hands. (我提前五分钟来到厨房，把我的可乐狠狠地摇晃了一下，我担心它可能会在我手里爆炸。)”可知，代词it指代前文提到过可能会爆炸的物品；此外，根据第五段第二句“I passed her office, and Coke was everywhere (我经过她的办公室，到处都是可乐)”可知，可乐被偷后爆炸了，故可推测代词it指代的是作者的樱桃可乐饮料。故选B项。 12．主旨大意题。根据第一段前三句“I worked in a small company with about thirty-five employees (雇员). We had a good-sized kitchen with a fridge that several employees used. But people would often go to the fridge to surprisingly find either their whole lunch missing, or, in my case, my can of Cherry Coke gone. (我在一家有35名员工的小公司工作。我们有一个很大的厨房，里面有一台冰箱，几个员工都用过。但人们经常会去冰箱，惊奇地发现他们的整个午餐都不见了，或者就我个人情况而言，樱桃可乐罐不见了。)”可知，本文主要记录了在公司里大家的午餐被偷这一件事，即一件发生在办公室的故事。故选D项。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·合肥一中·期末） When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that absolutely frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances. It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Bamick, who helped me overcome that. That year, we had to present four oral book reports in front of the class. Some of the kids were even glad to do it, but I was frightened to death. Mr. Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me. So I did the first report on baseball. When it came time for me to present it to the class, Mr. Bamick cut me some slack and let me read the report rather than present it from memory. Some of my classmates laughed at me for the presentation, but Mr. Bamick encouraged me. By the end of the year, I had completed all four of the oral book reports. It wasn’t easy or comfortable for me, but I did it. Years later, I realized that Mr. Bamick had a great effect on me in sixth grade. One of the opportunities I get when I win a tennis tournament (锦标赛) is to make comments to the fans who attend the match. Some of these are carried live on television, and all of them are before thousands of people. It’s still not one of my favorite things to do, but with Mr. Bamick’s help, I get through it from time to time. Before long, I was asked to bring my favorite childhood teacher to a national event in Dallas. I was excited when Mr. Bamick joined me for the event. It meant a lot to me that he was there. We all need heroes in our lives. They can be role models or they can be important people in our world. Mr. Bamick believed in me and helped me to believe in myself. It was he who helped me build the person I became. 13．In what aspect did Mr. Bamick help the author? A．Improving her learning skills. B．Winning her classmates’ trust. C．Encouraging her to read more books. D．Overcoming her fear of public speaking. 14．What does the underlined part “cut me some slack” mean in paragraph 2? A．Played a funny joke on the author. B．Gave the author a feeling of pride. C．Made the task slightly easier for the author. D．Asked the author to take part in a competition. 15．What can we infer about the author? A．She is a spokesperson. B．She is a tennis player. C．She wants to be a teacher. D．She enjoys commenting on books. 16．What can be the best title for the text? A．My best oral book report. B．A typical kid in primary school. C．My favorite childhood teacher. D．An unforgettable national event. 【答案】13．D 14．C 15．B 16．C 【导语】本文是记叙文。本文讲述了作者在六年级时因为害怕在众人面前讲话而感到困扰，但他的老师Mr. Bamick帮助他克服了这一恐惧，并成为他生命中的英雄。文章通过讲述Mr. Bamick如何鼓励作者完成口头报告的经历，展现了老师对学生成长的重要影响。 13．细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that absolutely frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances. It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Bamick, who helped me overcome that.(当我上小学的时候，我其实有点害羞。有一件事让我非常害怕，那就是在很多人面前讲话，无论是陌生人还是熟人。是我六年级的老师巴米克先生帮我克服了这个困难)”可知，Mr. Bamick帮助作者克服对公开演讲的恐惧。故选D项。 14．词句猜测题。根据后文“let me read the report rather than present it from memory.(让我朗读报告，而不是凭记忆做报告)”可知，是让作者做报告更容易一些，所以推知cut me some slack是“使作者的任务稍微容易一些。”之意。故选C项。 15．推理判断题。根据第三段“One of the opportunities I get when I win a tennis tournament (锦标赛) is to make comments to the fans who attend the match.(当我赢得网球锦标赛时，我得到的一个机会是向观看比赛的球迷发表评论)”可知，作者赢得网球锦标赛，推知她是一名网球运动员。故选B项 16．主旨大意题。根据第一段“When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that absolutely frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances. It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Bamick, who helped me overcome that.(当我上小学的时候，我其实有点害羞。有一件事让我非常害怕，那就是在很多人面前讲话，无论是陌生人还是熟人。是我六年级的老师巴米克先生帮我克服了这个困难)”以及第三段“Years later, I realized that Mr. Bamick had a great effect on me in sixth grade.(多年以后，我意识到巴米克先生在我六年级的时候对我有很大的影响)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了一位对作者影响很大的老师，所以C项“My favorite childhood teacher.(我童年最喜欢的老师)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 Passage 2 （23-24高一上·淮北实验高级中学·期末） When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness with me. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years, I have had a remarkable friend. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell...” We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理学家), who will only fill up the healing (愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. 17．In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was ________. A．become serious about her study B．go to her friend’s house regularly C．learn from her classmates at school D．share poems and stories with her friend 18．In Paragraph 2, “We gave London to each other.” probably means ________. A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us B．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London C．our unpleasant feelings about London disappeared D．we parted with each other in London 19．According to Paragraph 3, the author and her friend ________. A．call each other regularly B．have similar personalities C．enjoy writing to each other D．dream of meeting each other 20．In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ________. A．ask for professional help B．be left alone C．stay with her best friend D．break the silence 【答案】17．D 18．A 19．C 20．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己在人生的不同阶段所遇到的几个好朋友的经历，来告诉我们朋友对于我们人生的重要意义。 17．细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句“We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.(我们会安静地坐在一起，分别写由火车汽笛声产生的诗歌或故事。然后我们大声朗读。在那个学年结束时，我们也变成了社会人，故事和诗歌也停止了)”可知，在八年级的时候，作者在培养正确的社会行为之前所做的就是和她的朋友分享诗歌和故事，故选D。 18．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city, because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. (他很绝望，我也很绝望。但是我们的友谊是建立在我们都认为，如果我们因为当时感觉很糟糕而没有探索这个伟大的城市，我们会后悔。我们连续五个星期每个星期天都见面，发现了很多很棒的东西。我们一直走，直到我们的绝望消失，然后我们分开。)”可知，作者和朋友在伦敦时都很绝望，但他们一起探索伦敦，一起寻找美好的事情，直到他们的绝望的感觉消失了，这说明探索伦敦让他们都很难忘，由此可推知，“We gave London to each other(我们把伦敦给了对方)”意思是，对伦敦的探索对于作者和朋友来说都是一份难忘的礼物，故选A。 19．推理判断题。根据第三段中“We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. .(我们写了很长时间的信，常常在信中发现最奇怪的自己。)”可知，作者和朋友喜欢互相写信，故选C。 20．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理学家), who will only fill up the healing (愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.(对我来说，和她们一起度过一个光明的时刻，比一个心理学家为我提供一生的服务更有价值，在那些最黑暗的时刻，心理学家只会填补治愈的沉默，而在那些时刻，我宁愿做自己最好的朋友)”可知，在最黑暗的时刻，作者宁愿独处，故选B。 Passage 3 （23-24高一上·淮北实验高级中学·期末） I will never forget the first dessert class at a cooking school in France, where a group of anxious dessert students (myself included) were tasked with preparing an apple pie. It looked simple enough, but I soon realized that it was as far from simple as it could be. However, my knife and I mastered this French classic, as well as dozens of others. After graduating, I found a job at a modern American restaurant in Florida. Despite the restaurant’s tiny kitchen, I was excited to work under Sylvia, the executive chef (主厨). The first job she gave me was to make apple pies. I couldn’t have been more excited — until I realized these pies were actually in the form of a dumpling. But my education had made me stick to French tradition. It took me a minute to get comfortable with this way of cooking again. Slowly, I was forgetting my French tradition and beginning to go with the flow more. The response from diners was good. Our desserts were sold out on most days. Then one day, Chef Sylvia gave me the chance to make a new dessert and planned to add it to the menu for a week. Surprised and touched by the chance, I decided to go all out. I created a seasonal citrus mousse (柑橘慕斯) made with Florida oranges and pistachio croquant (a crisp, delicate cookie). But after a week, the apple pie dumplings continued to far outsell my special dessert. A sense of frustration went inside of me. It finally made me aware that there isn’t one “right” way to understand a cuisine, or set of ingredients (配料). Where one chef can look at apples, butter, and flour and see a French apple pie, another might see baked apple dumplings. Even though each person’s translation may be different, I think they all deserve a spot on the table. And that was the most important lesson I discovered, through something as seemingly simple as fruit and dough (生面团). 21．What makes the author feel surprised, according to paragraph 2? A．The tiny kitchen. B．The shape of apple pies. C．The restaurant’s tradition. D．The French way of cooking. 22．How was the author’s new dessert? A．It wasn’t as popular as expected. B．It was thought highly of by Sylvia. C．It was removed from the menu. D．It built up the author‘s confidence. 23．What did the author finally realize? A．Foods stand for cultures. B．Ingredients matter to cooking. C．There is no fixed way for cooking. D．Understanding a cuisine is necessary. 24．What is the text mainly about? A．A job affecting one’s life. B．A new dessert on the menu. C．A special class at a cooking school. D．A lesson taken as a dessert chef. 【答案】21．B 22．A 23．C 24．D 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在学习烹饪后来到餐厅，在主厨Sylvia的带领下所经历的事情，最后作者明白了，烹饪没有一种特定的正确的方式，也没有一套特定的配料配方。 21．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I couldn’t have been more excited — until I realized these pies were actually in the form of a dumpling. But my education had made me stick to French tradition. It took me a minute to get comfortable with this way of cooking again.”（我十分地激动——直到我注意到这些苹果派是做成饺子的形状。但是我的教育让我坚持法国传统。花了我一段时间才看习惯这种烹饪方式。）可知，让作者惊讶的是苹果派竟是饺子形状的，故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I created a seasonal citrus mousse (柑橘慕斯) made with Florida oranges and pistachio croquant (a crisp, delicate cookie). But after a week, the apple pie dumplings continued to far outsell my special dessert. A sense of frustration went inside of me.”（我用佛罗里达柑橘做了一种季节性的柑橘慕斯。但是一周后，饺子形状的苹果派的销量仍然比我做的甜品高。我感到内心很沮丧。）可知，作者做出的甜品并不是想象中那么受欢迎，故选A。 23．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It finally made me aware that there isn’t one “right” way to understand a cuisine, or set of ingredients (配料).”（最终，我明白了，对于烹饪，没有一种极其正确的方法，也没有一套特定的配料。）可知，最终作者明白了，烹饪没有固定的方法，故选C。 24．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“And that was the most important lesson I discovered, through something as seemingly simple as fruit and dough (生面团).”（这就是我通过像水果和生面团一样简单的东西所学到的最重要的一课。）可知，本篇文章主要是在讲作者在甜点厨师这份工作中所学到的一课，故选D。 Passage 4 （23-24高一上·合肥三中·期末） First, I thought I was pregnant (怀孕的). Shortly after, I had a shooting pain in my stomach. Finally, I went to the emergency room and they said, “Listen, something is wrong.” Then I was told I might lose my hair for my wedding due to the chemical treatment. When it came out, I just felt like I wanted to shave it. I didn’t want to sit around and wait for my hair to fall out. I wanted to have control in a situation where I had zero control. This was the one area I could have some sort of control. I went to a hair salon that day, and it was super emotional. I cried in the chair the whole time. I was terrified to see that my head looked bald (秃头的). I didn’t know whether it was going to be malformed or not and I couldn’t help worrying whether there was any unnatural part to it. I also have a mole (胎记) on my head that I’ve always been really self-conscious about. Once I got home, I realized my head was extremely round and the mole wasn’t that noticeable. Over time, I actually enjoyed being bald. I never had to do my hair. Getting ready was quick and easy. I just knew it was something I couldn’t control, and I needed to accept it and learn to love myself in a new way. Even when I was first diagnosed (诊断), there was no way I was going to sit there and feel sorry for myself. I told myself, “I’m gonna get up. I’m gonna fight this thing. I’m not going to lose.” I always said I would win. Looking at things in a positive way really helped me, so that’s what I did with my bald head. I would say, “Yeah, this sucks, but at least I don’t have to wash my hair. At least I don’t have to dry it. At least I can get ready in five minutes.” I always tried to put a positive spin on it. 25．Why did the author shave her head bald? A．To do chemical treatment. B．To save her from hairdressing. C．To get ready for her wedding. D．To avoid feeling uncontrollable. 26．What does the underlined word “malformed” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Ill-treated. B．Bright-colored. C．Badly-shaped. D．Well-protected. 27．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Outgoing and brave. B．Strong and positive. C．Confident and friendly. D．Anxious and negative. 28．What can we learn from the story? A．Life is too precious to lose. B．God never closes all doors. C．Determination finds a way. D．Attitude helps win battles. 【答案】25．D 26．C 27．B 28．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者患癌后，以积极的心态面对自己因化疗而失去头发的事实，并主动剃光头的故事。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I wanted to have control in a situation where I had zero control. This was the one area I could have some sort of control. (我想在我没有控制权的情况下拥有控制权。这是我可以控制的一个领域)”可知，作者想要在自己完全无法控制的情况下掌控局面，而剃光头发是作者可以控制的一个领域，所以作者剃光头发是为了避免感到自身情况无法控制。故选D项。 26．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“I didn’t know whether it was going to be malformed or not and I couldn’t help worrying whether there was any unnatural part on it. I also have a mole (胎记) on my head that I’ve always been really self-conscious about. (我不知道它是否malformed，我不禁担心它是否有任何不自然的部分。我的头上还有一个胎记，我一直都很在意)”可知，作者的头上有一个胎记，所以作者禁不住担心剃光头发后自己的头上是否有怪异的地方，由此可推知，作者不知道剃光头发的自己是否会变得很难看，推测划线单词malformed表示“难看的，畸形的”，与Badly-shaped同义。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据第五段中“I told myself, “I’m gonna get up. I’m gonna fight this thing. I’m not going to lose.” I always said I would win. (我告诉自己，“我要站起来。我要和这件事斗争。我不会输。”我一直说我会赢)”和最后一段中“Looking at things in a positive way really helped me, so that’s what I did with my bald head. (以积极的方式看待事情真的帮助了我，所以我就是这样对待我的光头的)”及“I always tried to put a positive spin on it. (我总是试图给它一个积极的解释)”可知，作者非常坚强，也很积极乐观。故选B项。 28．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Looking at things in a positive way really helped me, so that’s what I did with my bald head. (以积极的方式看待事情真的帮助了我，所以我就是这样对待我的光头的)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者患癌后，以积极的心态面对自己因化疗而失去头发的事实，并主动剃光头的故事，这一故事主要向读者传达了积极乐观的态度有助于战胜病魔这一信息。故选D项。 主题03 人与自然——保护环境 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·亳州二中·期末） When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper about e-waste. The article said that people were throwing away their e-waste in places it should never go. This was dangerous, the article said, because e-waste contains poisonous chemicals and metals like lead. These harmful substances (物质) can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies, and people. Alex showed the article to a few of his classmates. They were worried too. But what could they do about this problem with e-waste? How would they even start? “The first thing we did,” Alex says, “was to learn more about the problem.” Alex and his friends spent several weeks gathering information about the chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose (处理) of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. “Then,” he says, “we had to find out what the situation was in our town. So we sent out a survey.” What they found shocked them: Of the people who answered the survey, only one in eight even knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it. Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 21,000 pounds of e-waste. The next step was to set up an e-waste drop-off center for the town and to find a responsible company to recycle the waste. That was when Alex and his friends learned another scary fact about e-waste — some irresponsible recycling companies don’t break down the e-waste and dispose of it safely themselves. Instead, they ship it overseas to countries such as China and Nigeria, where local environmental laws are not applied. “We checked carefully online to make sure the company we chose didn’t do this,” Alex says. Because of the work of people like Alex and his team, more and more people are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste. As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s poisonous trash.” 29．What can we learn about Alex from paragraph 1 and paragraph 2? A．He was curious about chemistry experiments. B．He possessed a strong sense of responsibility. C．He set out to solve the problem individually. D．He formed the habit of reading newspapers. 30．What does the underlined word “drive” mean? A．Campaign. B．Imagination. C．Performance. D．Technology. 31．Why did some companies transport the e-waste to other countries? A．Lack of available space was the reason for shipping. B．Recycling was totally banned in their own country. C．They were running their companies on a tight budget. D．They were not charged with insecurely disposing of it. 32．What’s the suitable title for the text? A．Reusing School Computers B．Recycling Electronic Waste C．Meeting a challenge D．Doing a Scientific Experiment 【答案】29．B 30．A 31．D 32．B 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了Alex为解决电子垃圾污染问题，所做出的一系列努力。 29．推理判断题。根据第一段“When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper about e-waste. The article said that people were throwing away their e-waste in places it should never go. This was dangerous, the article said, because e-waste contains poisonous chemicals and metals like lead. These harmful substances (物质) can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies—and people.(当Alex Lin 11岁的时候，他在报纸上读到一篇关于电子垃圾的令人震惊的文章。这篇文章说，人们把电子垃圾扔到不该去的地方。这篇文章说，这很危险，因为电子垃圾含有有毒化学物质和铅等金属。这些有害物质会泄漏到环境中，进入农作物、动物、供水系统和人体内)”以及第二段“Alex showed the article to a few of his classmates. They were worried too. But what could they do about this problem with e-waste? How would they even start? “The first thing we did,” Alex says, “was to learn more about the problem.” Alex and his friends spent several weeks gathering information about the chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose (处理) of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. “Then,” he says, “we had to find out what the situation was in our town. So we sent out a survey.”(亚历克斯把这篇文章拿给几个同学看。他们也很担心。但是他们能做些什么来解决电子垃圾的问题呢?他们是怎么开始的?“我们做的第一件事，”亚历克斯说，“就是更多地了解这个问题。”亚历克斯和他的朋友们花了几个星期收集有关电子垃圾中的化学物质及其对人类影响的信息。他们学会了如何正确处理电子垃圾以及如何回收利用。“然后，”他说，“我们必须弄清楚我们镇上的情况。所以我们进行了一项调查。”)”可知，Alex了解到电子垃圾中有毒物质会对环境造成危害，因此做了一系列的调研等活动可知，他具有很强的责任感。故选B项。 30．词句猜测题。根据前文“Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot.(亚历克斯和他的朋友们开始行动起来。他们在当地报纸上登广告，并向学生分发通知，要求居民把他们不需要的电子产品带到学校的停车场)”可知，他们在当地报纸打广告，并把通知发给学生，要求居民把不要的电子垃圾产品带到学校停车场，所以这是一次运动，推知drive意为“活动，运动”，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 31．推理判断题。根据第四段“That was when Alex and his friends learned another scary fact about e-waste—some irresponsible recycling companies don’t break down the e-waste and dispose of it safely themselves. Instead, they ship it overseas to countries such as China and Nigeria, where local environmental laws are not applied.(就在那时，亚历克斯和他的朋友们了解到另一个关于电子垃圾的可怕事实——一些不负责任的回收公司不分解电子垃圾，也不自己安全处理。相反，他们将其运往中国和尼日利亚等不适用当地环境法的国家)”可知，一些不负责的公司会将垃圾运到其它国家，是因为这些国家环保法不健全，在这里不安全的处理垃圾并不会被指控。故选D项。 32．主旨大意题。根据第一段“When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper about e-waste. The article said that people were throwing away their e-waste in places it should never go. This was dangerous, the article said, because e-waste contains poisonous chemicals and metals like lead.

As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s poisonous trash.”(由于像亚历克斯和他的团队这样的人的工作，越来越多的人得到了安全处理电子垃圾的信息。正如亚历克斯所说，“今天的技术不应该成为明天的有毒垃圾。”)”可知，本文主要讲述了Alex为解决电子垃圾污染问题，所做出的一系列努力，所以B项“Recycling Electronic Waste(回收电子废物)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自然——保护环境 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·亳州二中·期末） When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper about e-waste.

A．Reusing School Computers B．Recycling Electronic Waste C．Meeting a challenge D．Doing Scientific Experiment Passage 2 （23-24高一上·合肥六中·期末） In the busy and crowded Mexico City, an excellent woman has managed to build a shelter (庇护所) for one of nature’s most beautiful creatures—the hummingbird (蜂鸟) . Meet 73-year-old Catia Lattouf, an eager bird lover who has turned her apartment into a home for these tiny, lively birds. In a city where green spaces are not enough, and city wildlife is often pushed to the edges, Lattouf’s love for hummingbirds began in 2011, just a year after recovering from a deadly illness, when she began caring for a hummingbird that had an eye injured by another bird. She named the bird Gucci after the brand (品牌) of the eyeglasses case where she kept it and soon they became the best of friends. The tiny hummingbird rested on Lattouf’s computer screen while she worked. “It was a good medicine for my spirit,” Lattouf said of Gucci, adding, “It gave me a new life.” Gucci was the first, but many hummingbirds came to be cared for by Lattouf. For years, Lattouf’s home had been a bird shelter, but she was concerned about whether she would be able to meet the requirements of hummingbirds. However, since then, Lattouf has worked to make the public realize the importance of hummingbirds and has saved and freed hundreds of them. Hummingbirds are an important part of the American food web. They help control the population of insects. Although they’re small in size, their diet includes mosquitoes, spiders and fruit flies. Hummingbirds also pollinate (授粉) a wide variety of flowering plants from Alaska to the southernmost point of South America, which is especially important for native plant species. In fact, some plants depend almost completely on hummingbirds for pollination. Through her effort, Lattouf has shown that even in the heart of a big city, it is possible to coexist (共存) with and protect the natural world. In a city that can sometimes feel disconnected from nature, Lattouf’s apartment is a wonder that can be found when we make space for the wild in our everyday lives. 5．Where did the bird’s name come from? A．The shape of the eyeglasses case. B．The place where Lattouf put it. C．The park where Lattouf found it. D．The picture on Lattouf’s computer screen. 6．What can we learn about Gucci? A．It was hard to care for. B． It nearly died of its serious injury. C．It brought some trouble to the author’s work. D．It benefited Lattouf’s health greatly. 7．What does Lattouf keep doing? A．Making good use of hummingbirds. B．Protecting hummingbirds from injury. C．Calling on people to protect hummingbirds. D．Improving the living environment of hummingbirds. 8．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5? A．The value of hummingbirds to humans. B．The possibility of man living with nature. C．The growing conditions of flowering plants. D．The plants that are pollinated by hummingbirds. Passage 3 （24-25高一上·安徽蚌埠·期末） In school we learned about the Earth. We learned that rivers flow from higher ground to lower ground. They usually end at a bigger river or go into a lake or ocean. I can see that every day in Chicago. Our river goes into the lake. It’s a giant lake. We used to go fishing on the river every summer. Most days, you would find me and my grandfather there, fishing. My father was busy working for the city. I did not know what his job was. He said it was in the Sanitary and Ship Canal. My grandfather would take me to the river. “In the old days,” he said, “this was a clean stream. Now look at it. It is dirty.” Sometimes we even saw dead fish floating on it. When we brought the fish home, my mother would throw them out. “We can’t eat this. This is dirty, bad fish.” She sounded angry. So my grandfather and I stopped bringing the fish home. Sometimes we would go to fish and throw them back. But mostly we just stayed at home. We were sad about it. Then one day, my father was so busy that he was not at home. That New Year’s Day, he worked, too. My mother was worried, “It is too cold.” But he went anyway. Then two days later, the newspaper said, “It is a miracle (奇迹)!” That was the headline. I read the article. It told how the workers on the Sanitary and Ship Canal had done something impossible. They had changed the Chicago River completely. They dug such a great hole that the river rushed away from the lake. It now went to the west. I was excited. So was my grandfather. He said, “Now we can go fishing this summer.” We both laughed. So did my mother. My father smiled a lot, all day long. 9．What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To show the miracle of nature. B．To introduce the topic of the article. C．To explain the concept of the Earth. D．To test readers' knowledge about rivers. 10．Why did the author stop bringing home fish? A．The fish were too dirty to eat. B．He wanted to protect the river. C．His mother disliked eating fish. D．The fish in the river were all dead. 11．What miracle did the author’s father and his co-workers create? A．They saved all the fish in the Chicago River. B．They kept the Chicago River incredibly clean. C．They dug a huge hole to store the polluted water. D．They changed the direction of the Chicago River. 12．Which of the following words can best describe the author’s father? A．Devoted. B．Confident. C．Out-going. D．Open-minded. 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·安徽安庆·期末） Only six days ago I moved into my new home at Western University in London, Ontario. When moving to a new place, people have a variety of feelings. However, I surprisingly didn’t feel nervous. I was so excited to make new friends and started doing what I was interested in. What was really interesting about my move-in experience was that I was forced to talk to new people. None of my close friends from home went to Western University, so I had to make new friends. I felt alone, but I knew something positive was coming. At first it was very worrying. I felt so alone in a sea of people that I didn’t know. After being there for five minutes, I quickly realized that everyone was in the same situation as me. It was comfortable when senior students reminded us that whatever feelings we were having, the people around us were feeling the same way. We were not alone. My first dinner with my floor-mates less than a week ago was possibly one of the most awkward experiences I have ever had. Sitting down and eating with a group of strangers can be really worrying but now I can say that everyone on my floor has become very close. What I have learned is that it takes time to adapt to being in a new environment. The first night was hard but within 24 hours, I made a lot of new friends. It was so much fun. Starting at a new school can be hard but you should bravely face the challenges in front of you. Get out there, make new friends and stay positive! 13．How did the author feel when moving to a new place? A．Surprised. B．Worried. C．Happy. D．Awkward. 14．What made the author think the move-in experience fun? A．Chatting with strangers. B．Meeting new classmates. C．Living with more people. D．Making close friends. 15．How did the author get used to a new environment? A．Immediately. B．Suddenly. C．Quickly. D．Easily. 16．What is the most important when starting at a new school? A．Asking teachers for help. B．Being positive about a new life. C．Having a good sleep. D．Having a similar experience. Passage 2 （23-24高一上·六安二中·期末） I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment. Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then. My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced. Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate and find great satisfaction in it, after all. 17．What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A．He is content with his learning achievements. B．His good grades got him a good job. C．He refuses to compete with his peers fiercely.

I earned my Tupperware sample kit (样品套装) and bought a datebook, ready to fill in all the Tupperware parties I was going to hold. As my datebook began to fill, I became a Tupperware manager, leading and training a team of fifty girls. I found I had no time for myself. I was missing events with my children because I was so booked up with Tupperware parties and trainings. Whenever I found a gap in my schedule, I added something to it, as any successful person would do. My personal life was suffering, though. When I booked a party for my daughter’s birthday, I knew I had to do something fast. I was ready to quit. I met with my trainer, and the first thing she asked was to see my datebook. “Well, no wonder,” she said. “You have no lily pads.” “What is a lily pad?” I asked. “They are me-time spaces you block out in your day or week. Spaces in your week that you move to one after the other for relief from your busy schedule.” I thought a full datebook made me look successful, and that people want to do business with successful people. My lily pads were my children’s events, birthdays, and lunch with my mom or a friend. I started to write down items in my datebook, noting “Lily P.” and the time. I had been so afraid to turn down a party or training opportunity with one of my Tupperware dealers, but I found that when they saw that the time they wanted was already booked, they were fine with turning to another time that I offered them. My lily pads were my secret me time and they were easy to protect. 21．What did the author depend on to improve her performance? A．The database. B．Tupperware parties. C．Tupperware sample kit. D．Professional knowledge. 22．What advice did the trainer give her? A．Quit her job immediately. B．Schedule personal time regularly. C．Focus more on training other dealers. D．Increase the number of Tupperware parties. 23．Which of the following might be the author’s “Lily P.”? A．Family gatherings. B．Business meetings. C．Training activities. D．Important events. 24．Why are the Tupperware dealers mentioned in the last paragraph? A．To prove customers come first. B．To advertise for Tupperware products. C．To show personal time is easy to protect. D．To share how to become a successful salesperson. Passage 4 （24-25高一上·安徽·期末） During my life in high school, a work-study program changed me a lot. It was not just an opportunity; it was a life-changing experience. It provided me with the chance to learn not only from textbooks but also from life itself. The program is designed to mix academic studies with work experience, allowing us to apply what we learn in a practical setting. It’s a chance to explore potential (潜在的) careers, to understand the world, and to develop a strong work ethic (职业道德). I remember my first day on the job, filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. I was arranged to work in the school’s administrative office, a busy place with a lot of activities. My tasks were simple at first: filing documents, answering phones, and assisting with basic office duties. But as I grew more comfortable, my responsibilities (责任) increased. I learned the importance of time management (管理), of meeting deadlines, and of working as part of a team. I discovered that the skills I was learning in my business classes were directly applicable to my work. It was amazing to see the theory come to life. But the work-study program wasn’t just about work. It was about learning to balance responsibilities. Balancing schoolwork and a job was challenging, but it taught me the importance of rules and the value of hard work. I learned to manage my time skillfully. The most important lesson, however, was about the meaning of labor. Whether it was cleaning the school halls or assisting in the library, every task was important, and every role was valued. The program taught me that no job is small if it’s done with effort and pride. The work-study program has been an important part of my high school experience. It’s not just about earning a paycheck; it’s about earning a sense of self-worth and a glimpse into the future. It’s a stepping stone towards adulthood, a bridge between the world of learning and the world of work. 25．Why is the work-study program set up? A．To offer students a source of earning money. B．To change students’ learning experiences. C．To teach students how to manage an office. D．To prepare students for a specific job path. 26．How did the work-study program help the author balance responsibilities? A．By allowing him to leave his schoolwork alone. B．By providing a relaxed work environment. C．By teaching him the value of hard work. D．By giving him a lot of free time. 27．What is the main lesson the author learned from the work-study program? A．Every task has importance and value. B．Effort and pride make jobs colorful. C．Library work is meaningful. D．Practice is better than ideas. 28．Which of the following words can best describe the author? A．Proud and creative. B．Curious and powerful. C．Doubtful and careful. D．Positive and thoughtful. 主题03 人与社会——社会与文化 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·合肥六校联盟·期末） I fell into love with shopping at the age of 10. After a short time being just a buyer, I wanted to sell something. I had many things around the house from my childhood that I no longer needed. I knew, with the help of my father, I could make money. I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s account (账户). On December 9, 2022, I opened my own account and began to start my own business. Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around the house wasn’t making me the kind of money that I wanted to make, so I decided to turn my business into a resale (零售) shop. I went around to the garage sale (旧货出售处) and bought items at low prices and sold them at higher prices. Last November, I went to a garage sale that was a little bit different. A single lady had many nice items that I knew I would sell quickly. I went up to her and started a conversation with her. Through the conversation, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to support her family. I decided to sell some of her things to help her out. She looked at me for a moment and then broke into tears. I took away some of her things and over the next month, I made over $1,500 for her! She was so thankful for all of my help. I have never felt so happy to help someone in my life. I felt as if I had made a difference in this world and that my skills could be used to help someone who would really need it. 29．At first, __________ helped her make money by selling things. A．the girl’s father B．the girl’s mother C．the girl’s teacher D．a single lady 30．The writer went to the garage sale to __________. A．meet single ladies B．buy things for her resale shop C．help others D．sell things she no longer needed 31．The author decided to help the lady sell her things because __________. A．the lady’s items were nice B．the lady’s items were of good quality C．the lady lived a hard life D．the lady asked the author for help 32．The lady felt so __________for what the author had done for her. A．disappointed B．amazed C．proud D．appreciative Passage 2 （23-24高一上·宿州十三校·期末） I hesitated when my friend suggested that we join the school’s new Tai Chi club. I used to think that tai chi was for the elderly. However, the first class changed my previous understanding of tai chi. A year later, I can say that tai chi has had a huge impact on me. The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves with descriptive names really caught my imagination, like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg.” When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird. However, nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting, a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts, developed tai chi based on martial arts skills. After the first few basic tai chi lessons, I found myself bored and aching from doing the same slow moves over and over again. Fortunately, my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind during ever day practice. With these requirements of tai chi in mind, I found to my satisfaction that my balance and flexibility slowly improved, that I was able to do more difficult moves, and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever. Meanwhile, I started to explore the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi. I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the unity of opposites. Neither can exist independent of the other. The practice of tai chi aims to keep the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out. Ultimately, tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace. The experience of a year of tai chi has affected my everyday life positively. I sleep more soundly at night and feel more energetic during the day. I feel happier and more confident. Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind, enabling me to stay calm in stressful situations. I am sure I will continue to practise tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me. 33．Why did the author join the Tai Chi Club? A．Because of his friend’s advice. B．Because of his interest in it. C．Because of the school’s request. D．Because of his parents’ suggestion. 34．Which of the following words can describe the moves of tai chi? A．Quick and beautiful. B．Quick and free. C．Slow and beautiful. D．Slow and boring. 35．What is the Chinese culture behind tai chi? A．Tai chi is influenced by Laozi’s philosophy of water. B．Tai chi can have a positive effect in people’s lives. C．You can find the origin of tai chi in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang. D．Tai chi can make people feel energetic and confident. 36．What does the underlined word mean? A．Finally B．Sometimes C．Firstly D．Constantly Passage 3 （23-24高一上·安徽庐江·期末） In 2019, Wang Jibing, a food delivery rider, had an unpleasant experience due to the wrong address left by a customer. Wang searched three buildings and climbed 18 floors before he finally managed to deliver the food to the customer, who rudely scolded (责备) Wang for arriving late. Wang was sad and depressed. As a husband and father of three children, who took the majority of the financial responsibility in his family, he had to bear all silently. On his way home that day, Wang wrote a poem, Man in a Hurry, expressing his feelings. Since then, Wang has been writing poems inspired by his daily life, including a poem, New Temple, which occurred to him after he delivered food to construction workers repairing an old temple, and Forgive, based on his observation of a young couple fighting. Wang’s poems, simple yet real, are seen as a tool to process his emotions, especially the personal experiences he has during his work. His heart is healed (治愈) by writing the poems, and he has shared them with his friends. In 2022, one of his friends posted Man in a Hurry online. It quickly went viral and was viewed for over 20 million times. The same year, Wang published a collection of more than 180 poems under the same title. So far, Wang has written about 4,000 poems. This April, Wang published his second poetry collection, titled I Love This World Clumsily, featuring about 130 poems he has written since July 2022. “Poetry is like a distraction from stress and an opportunity to record my life. Whether it’s coping with pain, dealing with stressful situations, or coming to terms with life’s struggles (艰辛), poetry makes me confident and happy,” says Wang. “The feedback from the readers is a big encouragement to me. Those poems came to me naturally and I enjoyed writing them very much.

She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address?” “No, but I’ll recognize it; there was a picture in the magazine.” “Oh, stop. There it is!” The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us. “May I help you?” a man asked. “No,” I said. “We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures (雕刻) in one room. Suddenly, I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted (震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!” “There’s some really good stuff (艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything. The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened. Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence (住宅), long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?” “Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.” “That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.” 1． What do we know about Marian McNay? A．She was a journalist. B． She was a painter. C．She was a museum director. D．She was a community leader. 2． Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house? A．She disliked people who were nosy. B．She felt nervous when talking to strangers. C．She thought of him as a tour guide D．She knew more about art than the man. 3． How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall? A．Puzzled. B．Concerned. C．Frightened. D．Delighted. 4． What could we learn from the last paragraph? A．People should have good taste to enjoy life. B．People should spend more time with their families. C．People tend to be blind to the beauty around them. D．People tend to educate teenagers at a museum. Passage 2 （23-24高一上·合肥六校联盟·期末） My husband Wes and I, and our two dogs, have spent several years living in an RV (野营车) — calling it home and driving it all around the United States. Wes and I had just sold our house outside of St. Louis, Missouri, and moved to a town in Colorado. Though we enjoyed our new state, we were traveling back home for visits often. So at first the RV was intended for traveling in comfort: We could save money on hotels, travel at a more relaxed pace, avoid packing (打包行李) and unpacking, and be able to take our dogs with us. Plus, my husband had always wanted one. We bought the first RV in July 2015 and by September of that year, we were already considering living in it full-time. Wes and I love traveling and being “location independent,” and our jobs allow us to work from anywhere. At first, it did seem strange to live on the road, but once we officially made the decision, in February 2016, we never looked back. I absolutely love living in an RV, so my list of “advantages” is long. I love being able to park my home right next to the best biking trails (小路), change the view from the windows, follow the good weather, and explore unusual destinations (目的地). The biggest “disadvantage” is the planning that’s necessary. You do have to plan ahead where you are going to park because sometimes places are full. As a full-time traveler, you are often planning, moving, and trying new things. So once you arrive somewhere, it’s nice to stay a while and just sit still. That’s why I suggest that RVers park their RV every once in a while, or move a little slower. 5．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the author and her husband? A．Why they bought their first RV. B．Where they traveled in their RV. C．How they went on holiday in an RV. D．How they gave up their house to get an RV. 6．What did the author and her husband do in February 2016? A．They moved to a new city and found new jobs. B．They began living in their RV full-time. C．They rebuilt their house in Colorado. D．They sold their first RV. 7．What does the author think of her lifestyle? A．It is busy and challenging. B．It still needs some changes. C．It is comfortable and satisfying. D．It has made her more independent. 8．What does the author suggest RVers do? A．Try new types of RVs. B．Head for thinly populated places. C．Slow down and relax on the road. D．Avoid making many plans ahead. Passage 3 （23-24高一上·皖南十校·期末） I worked in a small company with about thirty-five employees (雇员). We had a good-sized kitchen with a fridge that several employees used. But people would often go to the fridge to surprisingly find either their whole lunch missing, or in my case, my can of Cherry Coke gone. I usually kept it in my lunch bag. At times when I bought takeaway food, I would get two—one for lunch and one for dinner—so I didn’t have my lunch bag. Even so, I often couldn’t find the food. It was a shock to everyone. We doubted who was stealing, but could never prove (证明) it. One day, a good idea came to my mind, and I couldn’t wait to try it. It was break time at noon. I headed down to the kitchen about five minutes early and gave my Coke such a hard shake that I feared it might actually go off in my hands. I placed it back in the fridge. Then, I hid in a cupboard in the kitchen, waiting for the right moment. BINGO! A lady came in and took the Coke. I put my hand over my mouth for her to open it, but she took it with her and left. I thought she would open it in the hall. No! As I left the kitchen, I heard her yell (叫喊). I passed her office, and Coke was everywhere: the walls, the floor, all over her desk, computer, her work, and all over her—everywhere! Well, food has never gone missing again since then because the lady got fired. 9．Why did the employees feel surprised? A．Their lunch was often lost. B．The fridge was full of free food. C．The kitchen was never clean. D．The company was small-sized. 10．Why did the author hide in the kitchen? A．To play a joke on the lady. B．To carry out some repairs inside. C．To find out who was stealing. D．To prove who was the best worker. 11．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．The kitchen. B．The drink C．The hand. D．The fridge. 12．What is the text mainly about? A．A small company. B．An honest lady. C．A special lunch. D．An office story. 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·合肥一中·期末） When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that absolutely frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances. It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Bamick, who helped me overcome that. That year, we had to present four oral book reports in front of the class. Some of the kids were even glad to do it, but I was frightened to death. Mr. Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me. So I did the first report on baseball. When it came time for me to present it to the class, Mr. Bamick cut me some slack and let me read the report rather than present it from memory. Some of my classmates laughed at me for the presentation, but Mr. Bamick encouraged me. By the end of the year, I had completed all four of the oral book reports. It wasn’t easy or comfortable for me, but I did it. Years later, I realized that Mr. Bamick had a great effect on me in sixth grade. One of the opportunities I get when I win a tennis tournament (锦标赛) is to make comments to the fans who attend the match. Some of these are carried live on television, and all of them are before thousands of people. It’s still not one of my favorite things to do, but with Mr. Bamick’s help, I get through it from time to time. Before long, I was asked to bring my favorite childhood teacher to a national event in Dallas. I was excited when Mr. Bamick joined me for the event. It meant a lot to me that he was there.

It was he who helped me build the person I became. 13．In what aspect did Mr. Bamick help the author? A．Improving her learning skills. B．Winning her classmates’ trust.

When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years, I have had a remarkable friend. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell...” We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理学家), who will only fill up the healing (愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. 17．In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was ________. A．become serious about her study B．go to her friend’s house regularly C．learn from her classmates at school D．share poems and stories with her friend 18．In Paragraph 2, “We gave London to each other.” probably means ________. A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us B．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London C．our unpleasant feelings about London disappeared D．we parted with each other in London 19．According to Paragraph 3, the author and her friend ________. A．call each other regularly B．have similar personalities C．enjoy writing to each other D．dream of meeting each other 20．In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ________. A．ask for professional help B．be left alone C．stay with her best friend D．break the silence Passage 3 （23-24高一上·淮北实验高级中学·期末） I will never forget the first dessert class at a cooking school in France, where a group of anxious dessert students (myself included) were tasked with preparing an apple pie. It looked simple enough, but I soon realized that it was as far from simple as it could be. However, my knife and I mastered this French classic, as well as dozens of others. After graduating, I found a job at a modern American restaurant in Florida. Despite the restaurant’s tiny kitchen, I was excited to work under Sylvia, the executive chef (主厨). The first job she gave me was to make apple pies. I couldn’t have been more excited — until I realized these pies were actually in the form of a dumpling. But my education had made me stick to French tradition. It took me a minute to get comfortable with this way of cooking again. Slowly, I was forgetting my French tradition and beginning to go with the flow more. The response from diners was good. Our desserts were sold out on most days. Then one day, Chef Sylvia gave me the chance to make a new dessert and planned to add it to the menu for a week. Surprised and touched by the chance, I decided to go all out. I created a seasonal citrus mousse (柑橘慕斯) made with Florida oranges and pistachio croquant (a crisp, delicate cookie). But after a week, the apple pie dumplings continued to far outsell my special dessert. A sense of frustration went inside of me. It finally made me aware that there isn’t one “right” way to understand a cuisine, or set of ingredients (配料). Where one chef can look at apples, butter, and flour and see a French apple pie, another might see baked apple dumplings. Even though each person’s translation may be different, I think they all deserve a spot on the table. And that was the most important lesson I discovered, through something as seemingly simple as fruit and dough (生面团). 21．What makes the author feel surprised, according to paragraph 2? A．The tiny kitchen. B．The shape of apple pies. C．The restaurant’s tradition. D．The French way of cooking. 22．How was the author’s new dessert? A．It wasn’t as popular as expected. B．It was thought highly of by Sylvia. C．It was removed from the menu. D．It built up the author‘s confidence. 23．What did the author finally realize? A．Foods stand for cultures. B．Ingredients matter to cooking. C．There is no fixed way for cooking. D．Understanding a cuisine is necessary. 24．What is the text mainly about? A．A job affecting one’s life. B．A new dessert on the menu. C．A special class at a cooking school. D．A lesson taken as a dessert chef. Passage 4 （23-24高一上·合肥三中·期末） First, I thought I was pregnant (怀孕的). Shortly after, I had a shooting pain in my stomach. Finally, I went to the emergency room and they said, “Listen, something is wrong.” Then I was told I might lose my hair for my wedding due to the chemical treatment. When it came out, I just felt like I wanted to shave it. I didn’t want to sit around and wait for my hair to fall out. I wanted to have control in a situation where I had zero control. This was the one area I could have some sort of control. I went to a hair salon that day, and it was super emotional. I cried in the chair the whole time. I was terrified to see that my head looked bald (秃头的). I didn’t know whether it was going to be malformed or not and I couldn’t help worrying whether there was any unnatural part to it. I also have a mole (胎记) on my head that I’ve always been really self-conscious about. Once I got home, I realized my head was extremely round and the mole wasn’t that noticeable. Over time, I actually enjoyed being bald. I never had to do my hair. Getting ready was quick and easy. I just knew it was something I couldn’t control, and I needed to accept it and learn to love myself in a new way. Even when I was first diagnosed (诊断), there was no way I was going to sit there and feel sorry for myself. I told myself, “I’m gonna get up. I’m gonna fight this thing. I’m not going to lose.” I always said I would win. Looking at things in a positive way really helped me, so that’s what I did with my bald head. I would say, “Yeah, this sucks, but at least I don’t have to wash my hair. At least I don’t have to dry it. At least I can get ready in five minutes.” I always tried to put a positive spin on it. 25．Why did the author shave her head bald? A．To do chemical treatment. B．To save her from hairdressing. C．To get ready for her wedding. D．To avoid feeling uncontrollable. 26．What does the underlined word “malformed” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Ill-treated. B．Bright-colored. C．Badly-shaped. D．Well-protected. 27．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Outgoing and brave. B．Strong and positive. C．Confident and friendly. D．Anxious and negative. 28．What can we learn from the story? A．Life is too precious to lose. B．God never closes all doors. C．Determination finds a way. D．Attitude helps win battles. 主题03 人与自然——保护环境 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·亳州二中·期末） When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper about e-waste. The article said that people were throwing away their e-waste in places it should never go. This was dangerous, the article said, because e-waste contains poisonous chemicals and metals like lead. These harmful substances (物质) can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies, and people. Alex showed the article to a few of his classmates. They were worried too. But what could they do about this problem with e-waste? How would they even start? “The first thing we did,” Alex says, “was to learn more about the problem.” Alex and his friends spent several weeks gathering information about the chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose (处理) of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. “Then,” he says, “we had to find out what the situation was in our town. So we sent out a survey.” What they found shocked them: Of the people who answered the survey, only one in eight even knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it. Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 21,000 pounds of e-waste. The next step was to set up an e-waste drop-off center for the town and to find a responsible company to recycle the waste. That was when Alex and his friends learned another scary fact about e-waste — some irresponsible recycling companies don’t break down the e-waste and dispose of it safely themselves. Instead, they ship it overseas to countries such as China and Nigeria, where local environmental laws are not applied. “We checked carefully online to make sure the company we chose didn’t do this,” Alex says. Because of the work of people like Alex and his team, more and more people are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste. As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s poisonous trash.” 29．What can we learn about Alex from paragraph 1 and paragraph 2? A．He was curious about chemistry experiments. B．He possessed a strong sense of responsibility. C．He set out to solve the problem individually. D．He formed the habit of reading newspapers. 30．What does the underlined word “drive” mean? A．Campaign. B．Imagination. C．Performance. D．Technology. 31．Why did some companies transport the e-waste to other countries? A．Lack of available space was the reason for shipping. B．Recycling was totally banned in their own country. C．They were running their companies on a tight budget. D．They were not charged with insecurely disposing of it. 32．What’s the suitable title for the text? A．Reusing School Computers B．Recycling Electronic Waste C．Meeting a challenge D．Doing a Scientific Experiment 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
