专题02 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25 高一上・四川泸州合江马街中学・期末） Pop stars have traditionally not come from the upper classes of society. Eminem grew up on a trailer (活动住屋) park. 50 Cent is from the dangerous shelters of New York. The Beatles grew up in the poor city of Liverpool. However, some musicians have come from the army. Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, served with the American Army in Germany while Jimi Hendrix was in the parachute regiment (伞兵团). Following in that tradition comes a British hit, James Blunt. His single, You’re Beautiful, was a huge success, and his concerts have sold out all over the country. James Blunt, born on February 22, 1977, comes from a family with a long tradition of military service. His early life was not filled with music. His army officer father thought all music, even classical, was unnecessary noise. His life seemed certain to follow that of his father’s before him—private schools, a good university and a career as an officer in the British Army. The thought of pursuing a career in music had never occurred to him until he witnessed an older boy playing an electric guitar at age 14. When he was sent to Kosovo in 1999, he didn’t just take his gun he also took his guitar, attached to the side of his tank. As he drove through villages damaged by the war, he used to sing the John Lennon song Give Peace a Chance. “Well,” he later said, “we were peacekeepers.” In 2003 he left the army and went to Los Angeles to make a record. In 2004, his first album Back to Bedlam was released, and the singles High, Wise Men and You’re Beautiful have been great successes. For the singing soldier, putting down a gun for a guitar has been a good choice. 1．What do Elvis Presley and James Blunt have in common? A．They were from upper social classes. B．They were kings of Rockand Roll. C．They rose to fame in Britain. D．They used to serve in the army. 2．What made James Blunt take up music? A．His father’s support. B．The Beatles’ influence. C．A guitar performance. D．Family tradition of music. 3．What is James Blunt’ s first album? A．Back to Bedlam. B．Give Peace a Chance. C．High, Wise Men. D．You’re Beautiful. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Blunt’s journey to the US. B．Blunt’s success as a singer. C．Blunt’s practice of singing. D．Blunt’s best-selling records. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了音乐人James Blunt在追求音乐路上的成长轨迹。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, served with the American Army in Germany while Jimi Hendrix was in the parachute regiment (伞兵团).  Following in that tradition comes a British hit, James Blunt. (埃尔维斯·普雷斯利，摇滚乐之王，在吉米·亨德里克斯担任伞兵团期间在德国的美国陆军服役。继承这个传统的是英国大热歌手詹姆斯·布朗特。)”可知，Elvis Presley和James Blunt的共同之处在于他们都曾经在军队服役。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The thought of pursuing a career in music had never occurred to him until he witnessed an older boy playing an electric guitar at age 14. (他从未想过要从事音乐事业，直到他在14岁时目睹了一个大一点的男孩弹电吉他。)”可知，看到比他大的男孩弹奏吉他，这使他开始从事音乐。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In 2003 he left the army and went to Los Angeles to make a record. In 2004, his first album Back to Bedlam was released(2003年，他离开军队，前往洛杉矶录制唱片。2004年，他的第一张专辑《回到疯人院》发行)”可知，James Blunt的第一个专辑是Back to Bedlam。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In 2003 he left the army and went to Los Angeles to make a record. In 2004, his first album Back to Bedlam was released, and the singles High, Wise Men and You’re Beautiful have been great successes. For the singing soldier, putting down a gun for a guitar has been a good choice.(2003年，他离开军队，前往洛杉矶录制唱片。2004年，他的第一张专辑《回到疯人院》发行，单曲《 High 》《 Wise Men 》和《 You’re Beautiful 》都取得了巨大的成功。对于一个会唱歌的士兵来说，为了一把吉他而放下枪是一个不错的选择。)”可知，最后一段主要讲了作为音乐人的Blunt，在音乐上所取得的成功，故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25 高一上・四川绵阳中学・期末） Being the strong wife and mother that she is, Diana Register often hid her deep pain and suffering from those around her. In the weeks and months following her husband’s cancer diagnosis, Diana would search for “hiding” places where she could let the uncontrollable waterfalls of tears flow from her eyes. “The storage room was a favorite. Then was the shower. But when I wasn’t home, it was the parking lots that served as my hiding places,” she said. After her husband passed away, parking lots were Diana’s safe haven (避风港) for pain and sorrow. One day, as she was about to place her order in the Dutch Brothers coffee drive-thru (汽车餐厅), the wave of sadness hit her like a tidal wave in the middle of her conversation with a friend. “I could hardly catch my breath and the ugly crying started,” said Diana. “The problem was, I was stuck in the coffee line at Dutch Brothers, one place where all the workers are young, happy and jamming out to music. And there was no way out. I was literally blocked in, so unless I wanted to back right up into the SUV behind me, I was about to be seen for the mess I really was.” The barista, who was making and serving coffee at the window, handed Diana an iced coffee with a sweet and simple note on the top. “When I looked down in the cup holder, I saw it. A pink straw, and the words ‘We love you’ written around it.” The girl didn’t know Diana’s pain or her story, but she knew she was hurting and couldn’t fix it. “She wanted me to know I wasn’t alone and that whatever trial I was going through, there were people out there who cared about me.” 5．What would Diana do when she wanted to cry? A．Go out for a ride. B．Cry her eyes out totally alone. C．Have a conversation with her friend. D．Play hide-and-seek in the storage room. 6．What do the underlined words “the mess” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Causing a car crash. B．Getting stuck in a long line. C．Having an emotional explosion. D．Having a quarrel with a worker. 7．Which of the following best describe the barista? A．Generous and passionate. B．Intelligent and open-minded. C．Caring and determined. D．Observant and warm-hearted. 8．What can we learn from Diana’s story? A．Don’t judge a book by its cover. B．A friend in need is a friend indeed. C．God helps those who help themselves. D．Small acts of kindness make a difference. 【答案】5．B 6．C 7．D 8．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Diana在丈夫患癌及去世后，常找隐蔽的地方大哭宣泄自己的悲伤，后来在一家咖啡店点餐时，她无法抑制自己的痛哭，一位不知情的咖啡师写下的留言给予了她温暖和安慰。 5．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the weeks and months following her husband’s cancer diagnosis, Diana would search for “hiding” places where she could let the uncontrollable waterfalls of tears flow from her eyes. (在她丈夫被诊断出癌症后的几个星期和几个月里，Diana会寻找“藏身”的地方，让她无法控制的泪水从眼睛里流出)”可知，当Diana想哭的时候，她会一个人哭得泪流满面。故选B项。 6．词句猜测题。根据第四段中““I could hardly catch my breath and the ugly crying started,” said Diana. “The problem was, I was stuck in the coffee line at Dutch Brothers, one place where all the workers are young, happy and jamming out to music. And there was no way out. I was literally blocked in, so unless I wanted to back right up into the SUV behind me, I was about to be seen (“我几乎喘不过气来，然后开始嚎啕大哭，”Diana说。“问题是，我在荷兰兄弟咖啡店排队买咖啡时被困住了，那里的员工都很年轻，很开心，喜欢跟着音乐一起狂欢。没有出路。我真的被堵在里面了，所以除非我想倒车直接撞上后面的SUV，否则我就会被人看到)”可知，处在车流中的Diana无法脱身找到地方自己一个人哭泣，她的痛哭会被人看到，画线部分指的是她的这种情绪爆发。A. Causing a car crash导致车祸；B. Getting stuck in a long line排起长队；C. Having an emotional explosion情绪爆发；D. Having a quarrel with a worker和工人吵架。故选C项。 7．推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“The barista, who was making and serving coffee at the window, handed Diana an iced coffee with a sweet and simple note on the top. “When I looked down in the cup holder, I saw it. A pink straw, and the words ‘We love you’ written around it.” (在窗口做咖啡和端上咖啡的咖啡师递给Diana一杯冰咖啡，上面写着甜蜜而简单的留言。“当我低头看杯架时，我看到了它。一根粉红色的吸管，上面写着‘我们爱你’。”)”和最后一段“The girl didn’t know Diana’s pain or her story, but she knew she was hurting and couldn’t fix it. “She wanted me to know I wasn’t alone and that whatever trial I was going through, there were people out there who cared about me.” (这个女孩不知道Diana的痛苦，也不知道她的故事，但她知道自己很受伤，而且无法治愈。“她想让我知道，我并不孤单，不管我经历了什么磨难，总会有人关心我。”)”可以看出，这位咖啡师是观察入微且热心肠的，因为她注意到了黛安娜的情绪，并通过小纸条表达了关心和支持。故选D。 8．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“When I looked down in the cup holder, I saw it. A pink straw, and the words ‘We love you’ written around it. (当我往杯托里看的时候，我看到了。一根粉红色的吸管，旁边写着“我们爱你”)”和最后一段“The girl didn’t know Diana’s pain or her story, but she knew she was hurting and couldn’t fix it. “She wanted me to know I wasn’t alone. And that whatever trial I was going through, there were people out there who cared about me.” (那个女孩不知道Diana的痛苦或她的故事，但她知道Diana受伤了，而且她无法修复。“她想让我知道我并不孤单，无论我正在经历什么样的考验，总有人在乎我。”)”可知，这个女孩在完全不认识Diana的情况下，给悲伤的Diana送上了一份小小的暖心的安慰，让Diana不再觉得那么孤单。这个故事体现了“Small acts of kindness make a difference. (小小的善举会带来不同)”。故选D项。 Passage 3 （24-25 高一上・四川泸州泸化中学・期末） Joshua Nelson, 18, from Missouri, is graduating from St. Charles West High School this week and will be attending Southeast Missouri State in the fall. He had saved up money to pay for his tuition, but when he received the college's President's Scholarship, he decided to take his savings and donate it to other students in need. “It comes from my family education and faith," Nelson said. "I've always lived by strong principles as far as being a cheerful giver and having an open hand when it comes to giving back so I feel like that really motivated me.” SEMO's President's Scholarship is the school’s most celebrated, and is only awarded to five top students annually. Nelson said he sat down and outlined how a scholarship could work to help future students who need financial assistance for college. Originally the plan was to give away $ 1,000 the one time, but then he met up with his counselor (顾问), Yolanda Curry, to work out a game plan. “I wasn't expecting it at all!” Curry said. "He told me he had a great idea and wanted to share it with me. I could tell he was really excited. Nelson, in association with his high school, set up the Joshua Nelson Leaders In Action Scholarship fund. Each year, $1,000 will be awarded to a senior. The money will come from donations, of which there have been $16,000 so far — for a total of $17,435 at last count, according to the school. With the money already in the fund, there's enough to give out a scholarship each year for over a decade. The first scholarship was awarded on June 1 to Darrell Montalvo-Luna. As the first recipient, his scholarship was $2,000. “Joshua has the heart of a servant leader. He leads by example and he's genuinely excited when good things happen for other people," Curry said. "He's an encouragement — he's good at building others up and does what he can to help encourage and motivate those around. 9．What did Nelson's initial donation come from? A．His scholarship. B．His savings. C．His pocket money. D．His wages. 10．What does the underlined phrase "having an open hand" in paragraph 2 mean? A．Ambitious. B．Courageous. C．Generous. D．Cautious. 11．How did Curry feel when hearing Nelson's idea? A．Shocked. B．Confused. C．Excited. D．Delighted. 12．What can be inferred about the Joshua Nelson Leaders In Action Scholarship fund? A．It never supports high school students. B．It was set up more than ten years ago. C．It was founded by Nelson and Curry. D．It is going very smoothly. 【答案】9．B 10．C 11．A 12．D 【分析】本文属于记叙文。文章讲述了Joshua Nelson在获得校长奖学金后，把自己的积蓄捐给其他有需要的学生的经历，他还与学校合作，设立了约书亚·纳尔逊行动领袖奖学金基金。 9．细节理解题。根据文章首段“He had saved up money to pay for his tuition, but when he received the college's President's Scholarship, he decided to take his savings and donate it to other students in need.(他攒了些钱来支付学费，但当他收到学院的校长奖学金时，他决定把自己的积蓄捐给其他有需要的学生)”可知，最初的捐款来自于他的个人积蓄。故选B项。 10．词句猜测题。根据第一段“he decided to take his savings and donate it to other students in need. (他决定拿出积蓄，把它捐给其他学生)”和第二段“I've always lived by strong principles as far as being a cheerful giver (我一直有着坚定的人生原则，那就是做一个快乐的回报社会的人)”可知，划线词组与“慷慨大方”意思接近。故选C项。 11．推理判断题。根据第四段“I wasn’t expecting it at all! (我根本没有想到这一点)”可知，Curry听到的Nelson计划时，他对其想要帮助其他同学的伟大构想，感到很意外震惊。故选A项。 12．推理判断题。根据第五段“The money will come from donations, of which there have been $16,000 so far — for a total of $17,435 at last count, according to the school. With the money already in the fund, there's enough to give out a scholarship each year for over a decade. (这些钱来自人们的捐款，目前以达到16000美元，并且据校方最近一次统计已达到17435美元。有了足够的钱作为奖学金基金。这些钱足够在10年中每年颁发一次)”可知，名为约书亚·纳尔逊行动领袖奖学金基金运转非常良好。故选D项。 Passage 4 （24-25 高一上・四川成都邛崃一中・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 opposite. 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. 13．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. 14．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. 15．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. 16．What does the underlined word mean? A．Finally B．Sometimes C．Firstly D．Constantly 【答案】13．A 14．C 15．C 16．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。 13．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。 14．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。 15．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 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。 16．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。 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25 高一上・四川广安二中・期末） As we enjoyed our trip in Paris, I noticed that the people we came across were helpful, kind and nice. One day, an employee from a burger place across the street from our hotel noticed my Cleveland Cavaliers cap. We struck up a conversation about basketball and he encouraged me to visit his establishment. The next day we stopped there — a snack bar, and the guy that I talked to wasn’t there. Overall, there was room for about a dozen people to eat in the place. The guy that was taking my order spoke a little English, just enough for me to understand. Midway through my attempt to place my order, he apologized that his English wasn’t very good. I thought for a split second and responded “et mon francais est très mal!” He froze for a moment and the look on his face was priceless. It was some combination (混合) of shock, surprise, being impressed and a little amusement. He shook my hand and said “okay, okay that’s good! ” It was just a small connection with someone on the other side of the world, someone I’ll probably never see again. But for that instant there was a cool connection between two people, both understanding that speaking other languages wasn’t easy! Both appreciating each other’s effort to communicate in a way that the other person would understand, no matter how bad our attempts were. Later I found that my direct translation wasn’t exactly what I intended. I didn’t find that out until much later! I was attempting to say “and my French is very bad”, what came out instead was “and my French is very wrong”. That was so much better because I just proved my point even more without knowing it. Perhaps the best part of the story is that the burger that I got was the best burger that I’ve ever had in my life! I still dream about that burger and laugh every time I think about going to that burger spot. 1．What does the author think of their trip in Paris? A．Pleasant. B．Hard. C．Adventurous. D．Embarrassing. 2．How did the guy respond when he first heard the author’s poor French? A．He felt funny. B．He felt angry. C．He was amazed. D．He was indifferent. 3．What value is the author trying to promote through the story? A．Willingness and courage. B．Kindness and adventure. C．Forgiveness and generosity. D．Understanding and respect. 4．What does the author want to express in the last paragraph? A．He likes eating burger best. B．He speaks highly of that snack bar. C．He is impressed by the snack bar trip. D．He dreams to visit the snack bar again. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在巴黎旅行时在语言交流方面的经历和感悟。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段的句子“As we enjoyed our trip in Paris, I noticed that the people we came across were helpful, kind and nice.(当我们在巴黎享受我们的旅行时，我注意到我们遇到的人都很乐于助人，和蔼可亲。)” 以及后面作者的描述可知，这次法国之旅是令人愉悦的。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“I thought for a split second and responded “et mon francais est très mal!”(我想了一下，回答说：“et mon francais est très mal!”)”和第三段的句子“He froze for a moment and the look on his face was priceless. It was some combination (混合) of shock, surprise, being impressed and a little amusement.(他愣了一下，脸上的表情是十分有趣的。这是一种震惊、惊讶、印象深刻和一点娱乐的结合。)”可知，当这个人第一次听到作者蹩脚的法语时，他感到非常吃惊。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段的句子“But for that instant there was a cool connection between two people, both understanding that speaking other languages wasn’t easy! Both appreciating each other’s effort to communicate in a way that the other person would understand, no matter how bad our attempts were.(但就在那一刻，两个人之间产生了一种很酷的联系，他们都明白说其他语言并不容易！无论我们的尝试有多糟糕，我们都很欣赏对方以对方能理解的方式进行沟通的努力。)”可知，作者与那个服务员努力用对方的语言沟通，虽然说的可能有错误，但彼此能够理解和尊重对方。由此可知，作者推崇的是这种理解和尊重。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps the best part of the story is that the burger that I got was the best burger that I’ve ever had in my life! I still dream about that burger and laugh every time I think about going to that burger spot.(也许这个故事中最棒的部分是，我得到的汉堡是我一生中吃过的最好吃的汉堡！我仍然会梦到那个汉堡，每次想到去那个汉堡店都会笑。)”可知，作者旅行时在那家快餐店发生的事令作者记忆犹新，经常愉快地想起。说明那次快餐店之旅给作者留下了深刻印象。故选C项。 Passage 2 （23-24 高一上・四川宜宾叙州二中・期末） Letting me move into my university dormitory wasn’t an easy decision for my parents. However, they knew if I wanted a good education, I’d have to live away from home. I’d always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life. Unexpectedly, during the first few months of living alone, I would find myself crying every day. I would call my mum every day. Coming from a big family, I was used to noises surrounding me. Therefore, the scary silence at night was the worst. I couldn’t even sleep without keeping the lights on. As time went by, I started enjoying the freedom that came with living alone. I could do things in my own time: eat whenever I want, wake up whenever I want. The space of loneliness was also then filled up by friends who became like family, so I started missing my family less. When it was time to say goodbye and go back home after my graduation I was bittersweet. I’d enjoyed my time alone, learning things which wouldn’t have been possible if I had never moved away from home. But I’d also missed my family too much. I’d learned a lot from this experience. Living alone made me value family time even more. I realized every second with them was important though I might not get the freedom while living alone. I guess it’s different for everybody, but for me, there is no warmth in a house unless it’s filled with loving members and people you love. 5．How did the author feel before moving into the university dormitory? A．Sad. B．Happy. C．Nervous. D．Cold. 6．What can we know about the author from paragraph 4? A．He had mixed feelings. B．He didn’t enjoy his time alone. C．He has been used to the life in school. D．He found living with his family was better than in the school. 7．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．The author felt cold living in school. B．The author’s dormitory was the warmest place. C．The author felt warm living with his beloved ones. D．Everyone felt warm when living with his beloved ones. 8．What does the author want to tell us? A．Family is the most important place in people’s life. B．As time goes by, people can get used to what happened. C．People can find freedom only when they leave their family. D．People need to grow up on their own, but family plays an important role. 【答案】5．B 6．A 7．C 8．D 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者在大学住宿时的经历。起初作者对离开家去学校住宿感到十分的开心，但最初的几个月作者还是非常想念家人。随着时间增长，作者和朋友的相处也变得越来越好，也没有那么想念家里了。只有和自己珍爱的人在一起才会感觉到温暖。 5．推理判断题。文中第一段倒数第二句及最后一句提到“I’d always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life.”作者总是梦想着能够自由自在的独立生活，所以作者对于能够展开自己的生活的新阶段感到十分开心，delighted意为“高兴地、愉快的”，B项符合题意，故选B。 6．推理判断题。第四段第一句提到“When it was time to say goodbye and go back home after my graduation I was bittersweet.”作者在毕业后要回家的时候有一种苦乐参半的感觉，作者很享受独处的时间，但也非常的想念自己的家人。由此可知，这是一种复杂的感情。A项符合文意，故选A。 7．推理判断题。最后一段提到“there is no warmth in a house unless it’s filled with loving members and people you love.”一间屋子将不会充满温暖，除非有一屋子你爱的和爱你的人。说明只要和爱的人在一起就会感觉到温暖。C项符合题意，故选C。 8．推理判断题。文中最后三段提到，作者一方面很享受自己独处的时光，在自己独处的时间中也学习到了很多自己料想不到的事情，一方面又很挂念家中，由此可说明作者认为人要学会独立，但家庭还是扮演着非常重要的角色。D项符合题意，故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25 高一上・四川自贡一中・期末） A Texas mom, Hammond, is eager to encourage others to learn about autism (自闭症) through her book, A Day With No Words. The book follows her son, Aidan, through a regular day, as he uses a tablet (平板电脑) to tell his mom what he thinks or what he wants for lunch. Aidan has autism and so does his brother, Josiah. Aidan does not speak while Josiah can speak in some situations. “After people learn that Aidan doesn’t speak, one response they will have is to ask: ‘So he doesn’t know words?’ or ‘Does he not understand anything that we’re saying?’” said Hammond. Those questions pressed Hammond to find a way to show the life of people with autism. Hammond said Aidan understood words. He communicated by using a tablet that let him express himself through pictures and words. “When my son was younger, some experts would say, ‘Oh, he is unlikely to speak.’ But he’s kind of communicating with us, through his eyes; through pointing; through grabbing my hand and bringing me somewhere. He laughs when I make a joke; he cries when I’m sad. All these expressions are communication. He’s communicating with me, just in a unique way,” Hammond said. “And I love that. I love that for him.” Aidan’ s communication method is shown in A Day With No Words. “I wanted to support my sons in every possible way that I could,” Hammond said. Hammond surely hopes to make readers think more deeply about communication and learn more about autism. Besides, she also wants to stress the close ties she has with her son, Aidan. “I wanted to show that he is like all the other kids. He loves being outside. He loves swings (秋千). He loves playing on the grass, and he loves life,” she added. 9．How did Aidan communicate? A．Just by crying and laughing. B．With the help of his brother Josiah. C．By speaking in some situations. D．Through a tablet with words and pictures. 10．What made Hammond write A Day With No Words? A．Her sons’ advice. B．Readers’ requests. C．Her dream of writing. D．People’s unawareness of autism. 11．Which of the following best describes Hammond as a mother? A．Caring and determined. B．Confident and intelligent. C．Hardworking and courageous.

I went to work with my computer to a local café so that I could have dinner there. It was raining a bit this time and also I was among people. Sometimes when you work from home all day this is in itself a treat. And the magic of the connection sometimes happens—a smile, someone offering you the newspaper, a short conversation with the staff, a peace dove flying past and lots of possibilities for love and kindness. Well, magic did happen. I heard a man who was speaking with difficulty and very loud. I noticed he could not speak so clearly and he had some kind of impairment (损伤). As often happens, people looked at him or avoided doing so, and then—as if embarrassed or afraid—looked down. In these cases I try to do the opposite. I imagined a person in these situations would want to feel integrated (融入群体). So I decided to deliberately (故意地) look at him and smile. It was an instant (瞬间)! He looked at me, smiled and immediately said hello. With a combination of spoken and body language he asked if he could approach me. I agreed. He introduced me to his friend who taught sign language online and explained that they were both deaf, after which he even told me about his wife and how he loved teaching. I apologized for not knowing sign language and hoped I’d learned. We still managed to have a beautiful “conversation” which made us all very happy. I’m sure we’ll meet again to experience the magic of being with others. 13．Why did the author go to the café yesterday? A．To find someone beautiful. B．To work and eat something. C．To ask for a latest newspaper. D．To have a short talk with others. 14．What’s the most important to a disabled person? A．Being included into normal life. B．Accepting help from people around. C．Avoiding the embarrassments in life. D．Having a friend in the same situation. 15．How did the author react to the man with speaking difficulty? A．He pretended not to see him. B．He had a joke with him. C．He looked and smiled at him. D．He laughed at him like others. 16．What could be the best title for the text? A．A Special Café B．A Broken Heart C．Power of Sign Language D．Magic at the Café 【答案】13．B 14．A 15．C 16．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在咖啡馆里，作者的体贴和善解人意产生了魔术般的效果，让作者与两位耳聋的人有了一段美好的“交谈”。 13．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I went to work with my computer to a local café so that I could have dinner there. (我带着电脑去当地的一家咖啡馆工作，这样我就可以在那里吃晚饭了。)”可知，作者去咖啡馆工作和吃饭。故选B项。 14．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In these cases I try to do the opposite. I imagined a person in these situations would want to feel integrated. (我想象在这种情况下，一个人会想要融入社会。)”可知，作者认为对于有某些障碍的人来说，他们也想像正常人一样融入生活。故选A项。 15．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“So I decided to deliberately (故意地) look at him and smile. (所以我决定故意看着他微笑。)”可知，当看到有交流障碍的那个人时，作者并没有像别人那样避开看他们，反而是看着对方并给了他一个微笑。故选C项。 16．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段最后一句“And the magic of the connection sometimes happens—a smile, someone offering you the newspaper, a short conversation with the staff, a peace dove flying past and lots of possibilities for love and kindness.  (联系的魔力有时会发生——一个微笑，有人递给你一份报纸，与工作人员的简短交谈，一只和平的鸽子飞过，以及许多爱和善良的可能性。)”及最后一段中的“I’m sure we’ll meet again to experience the magic of being with others. (我相信我们会再次见面，体验与他人相处的魔力。)”并结合作者在咖啡馆的经历可知，本文讲述的是作者的一个微笑如同产生魔力一般，让作者与两位有听力障碍的人有了一段美好的“交流”。因此，D项“Magic at the Café (咖啡馆里的神奇事件)”概括了本文的内容，体现了文章主题。故选D项。 Passage 5 （23-24 高一上・四川宜宾叙州一中・期末） Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).” After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing. I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we’ll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings. Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class. 17．What happened to the author after science class?

The math teacher said, ‘Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).’(我很担心会迟到，我确实迟到了。数学老师说：‘明天要准时，否则你就会被留校’)”可知，科学课后，作者数学课迟到了。故选C项。 18．细节理解题。根据第二段“I like my art class a lot because I get to create things.(我非常喜欢我的美术课，因为我可以创造东西。)”可知，作者认为美术课很愉快。故选B项。 19．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.(我们可以写一段话或一首诗，我写了一首关于我自己的诗。我认为这是一首好诗，老师说我用了很好的意象来表达我的感情。)”可推断，英语老师看了作者的作品后赞扬了作者。故选A项。 20．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard.(今天是我上高中的第一天，很艰难。)”及全文可知，文章讲述了作者在的高中第一天。所以D项My first day in high school(我高中的第一天)作为文章标题最为合适。故选D项。 Passage 5 （23-24 高一上・四川泸州泸县一中・期末） I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday. My senior high school is called Yantai No. 1 Middle School with a long history, which can date back to 1931. When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed. To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it. I was asked to put study in the first place all the time by both my parents and my teachers. At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on. Our class was like a big family. I got along well with my classmates. We always discussed issues of all kinds after class. I made many friends in the family and we still keep in touch with each other after we graduated. Luckily, my teachers were also very enthusiastic and friendly. We were seen as their children. They not only taught us knowledge but told us how to do better. What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do some cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved. This is my high school life, busy but fulfilling. I will never forget it. 21．It seems that the author’s high school life is anything but ______. A．memorable B．impressive C．tiring D．bitter 22．What can we infer from the third paragraph? A．The author was unhappy about what she was told to do by her parents and teachers.

A．In a newspaper covering breaking news. B．In a fashion magazine. C．On a college composition website. D．In a guidebook. 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．A 24．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章回顾了作者刚刚过去的高中生活。 21．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed.(当我回忆起我难忘的高中生活时，我感到幸福和印象深刻。)”和第三段第一句话“To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it.(说实话，我的高中生活很累，但我真的很享受。)”可知，作者的高中生活难忘、令人印象深刻又很累，但并不痛苦。故选D项。 22．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I was asked to put study in the first place all the time by both my parents and my teachers. At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on.(我的父母和老师一直要求我把学习放在第一位。在那个时候，我早上5:30起床，很晚才睡觉，以便有更多的学习时间来复习我在一天中学到的东西。除了学习，我还参加了一些活动，如英语演讲比赛，书法比赛等。)”可知，作者一直将学习放在第一位，每天五点半起床，很晚才睡，除了学习还要参加英语演讲比赛、书法比赛等活动，说明作者在高中是一个很勤奋的学生。故选B项。 23．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do some cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved.(更重要的是，宿舍生活也值得一提。由于住在离家很远的地方，我在高中第一学期结束时变得相当独立。我的室友和我作为一个团队每天做一些清洁。我们如同家人一样，在一起生活得很愉快，我的社交能力也逐渐提高了。)”可知，宿舍生活让作者变得独立，团队协作和社交能力也提高了，而住得离家远不是宿舍生活带来的好处。故选A项。 24．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday.(就在六个月前，我告别了高中生活，现在我是一名大学新生。然而，我的高中生活的记忆是如此的新鲜，我觉得好像就在昨天。)”以及全文内容可知，本文作者是一名大学生，在介绍自己刚刚过去的高三生活，文章最有可能出现在一个大学作文网站上。故选C项。 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （23-24 高一上・四川兴文二中・期末） All through the UK, people have been going out of their way to show their thanks to the workers of National Health Service (NHS), who risk their lives to help patients with COVID-19.

I considered postcards as simply a way to share travels until I came across my grandmother’s postcard album (专辑). It was a dark gray leather album, where most of the postcards had pictures that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination. Instead, the notes were mostly invitations to a dinner party or, a walk the next day. “Why do these postcards ask you to come to tea?” I asked my grandmother. “Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone,” she said. “I would post a postcard in the morning mail, and a friend would receive it that afternoon. Then she would post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning.” I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of the world. Connecting by postcard seemed as unexpected as using a pigeon (鸽子). I had forgotten about my grandmother’s postcards until lockdowns (封锁) limited our trips to seeing our three granddaughters. Remembering my grandmother’s album, I bought several sets of cards and every few weeks, I’d write notes and mail them. Then one day I opened my mailbox and saw three hand-addressed envelopes. They were from my granddaughters, each thanking me for the postcards. The notes expressed their disappointment with the pandemic and described how my messages had comforted them. I had been thinking how my grandmother had accepted the telephone as a new way to keep relationships. Like her, I accepted the girls’ preferred way of communication and texted my thanks for their letters. However, even as the lock-downs end, I will continue to send them postcards because everyone enjoys receiving a real letter. 5．Why did the author’s grandmother write postcards? A．To share her travel experiences. B．To show love and care. C．To keep in touch with people. D．To kill the time. 6．What did the author think of life without a phone? A．It was unbelievable. B．It was peaceful. C．It was just as usual. D．It was attractive. 7．How did the author feel when receiving her granddaughters’ letters? A．Disappointed. B．Delighted. C．Regretful. D．Embarrassed. 8．Which one should be the title for the text? A．An Old Postcard Album B．New Ways of Communication C．Love during Lockdowns D．Attraction of Postcards 【答案】5．C 6．A 7．B 8．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从祖母的明信片专辑了解到其用途，疫情封锁期间作者给孙女们寄明信片，孙女们的回信让作者很开心，作者将继续寄明信片。 5．细节理解题。根据第三段中““Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone,” she said. “I would post a postcard in the morning mail, and a friend would receive it that afternoon. Then she would post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning.”(“因为在我们有电话之前，这就是我们交流的方式，”她说。“我会在早上的邮件中寄出一张明信片，我的朋友会在当天下午收到。然后她会寄出一封回信，第二天早上就会到我的邮箱里。”) ”可知，作者的祖母写明信片是为了和人们保持联系。故选C项。 6．细节理解题。根据第四段中“I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of the world.(我很惊讶。没有电话的生活听起来就像来自另一个世界的事情)”可知，作者认为没有电话的生活是难以置信的。故选A项。 7．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Then one day I opened my mailbox and saw three hand addressed envelopes. They were from my granddaughters, each thanking me for the postcards. The notes expressed their disappointment with the pandemic and described how my messages had comforted them.(然后有一天，我打开邮箱，看到了三个手写地址的信封。它们来自我的孙女们，每封信都感谢我寄的明信片。信中表达了她们对疫情的失望，并描述了我的信息是如何安慰她们的)”和第六段中“Like her, I accepted the girls’ preferred way of communication and texted my thanks for their letters.(像她一样，我接受了女孩们喜欢的交流方式，并发短信感谢她们的来信)”可知，疫情阻止了作者对孙女们的探望，所以收到她们的来信时是高兴的。故选B项。 8．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第三段中““Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone(因为在我们有电话之前，这就是我们交流的方式)”可知祖母时代明信片用于交流；根据第五段“The notes expressed their disappointment with the pandemic and described how my messages had comforted them.(信中表达了她们对疫情的失望，并描述了我的信息是如何安慰她们的)”可知作者寄的明信片安慰了孙女们；根据最后一段“However, even as the lock downs end, I will continue to send them postcards because everyone enjoys receiving a real letter.(然而，即使封锁结束，我也会继续给她们寄明信片，因为每个人都喜欢收到真正的信件)”可知明信片受欢迎。这些都体现了明信片的魅力。故D项“Attraction of Postcards(明信片的魅力)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选D项。 Passage 3 （24-25 高一上・四川泸州天府中学・期末） Christina wanted to lead the way back to camp and went on talking cheerfully, asking different kinds of questions about plants and wildlife. As we walked about halfway down the hillside, she fell over a stone. I jogged (慢跑) up to where she fell down. Suddenly, I saw a lion making a long deep angry sound about ten feet up on a huge rock watching me. I stood still, holding my breath, wondering what to do. Christina was crying down below. I couldn’t shout to her to be quiet, or the lion might attack me. Then, remembering Dad’s words, I slowly dropped my backpack and took off my T-shirt. With the pack on one arm and the T-shirt on the other, I spread my arms, trying to look as wide and big as I could. Carefully I moved away down the hillside toward Christina, keeping my eyes on the lion. “Christina,” I called. “Stop crying. Get up slowly and catch my belt. We’re going down the hill. There’s a lion at the top.” We moved quietly and slowly down the hill. Once back to the forest, with the lion out of view. I removed the sweat from my face with my T-shirt before putting it on, and looked at Christina. Hatless, red eyes, a few small cuts but nothing major. We had hiked for miles before we finally made our way back to our site. Dad saw me first. “Where have you been?” he shouted. “We were so worried,” Mother cried. “Mommy, you didn’t have to worry.

On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change. I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I've taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. 13．What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy? A．Inspiring and practical. B．Tiring yet delightful. C．Exciting and worthwhile. D．Difficult yet engaging. 14．Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2? A．He wanted to focus on his work. B．He was struck by sudden sorrow. C．He attempted to behave like an adult. D．He was faced with increasing pressure. 15．What did the author get from picking up his hobby? A．More fun in the daily routine. B．New journeys in the wild. C．Better skills of observation. D．Different styles of photography. 16．What is the best title for the text? A．Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories B．Appreciating Beauty Behind the Lens C．Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera D．Regaining Pleasure Through Photography 【答案】13．C 14．D 15．A 16．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者小时候很喜欢拍照，后来作者的压力越来越大，这使得他放弃了拍照，偶然间作者看到了角落里的照相机，作者重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。 13．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. (那时我拍了很多照片，当你冲洗你的胶卷时，你会得到彩色照片，这一事实让我很高兴，它冻结了那些珍贵的时刻，温柔地鼓励了我的爱好和为冲洗而支付的费用。)”可推断，对于作者小时候拍照这件事，作者觉得这是令人兴奋且值得的。故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. (这些年来不断增长的压力把相机从我的枕头旁推到了角落里的盒子里。)”可知，作者面临的压力越来越大，这使得作者停止了拍照。故选D。 15．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. (即使一天很满很忙，我也能抓住一些时间给自己拍照，观察周围的世界。)”和第四段中的“To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. (对我来说，这个房间代表了我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接我搁置的年轻的自己，通过在我的生活中为快乐留出空间，通过创造一个允许快乐机会的环境。)”可知，作者通过重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。故选A。 16．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. (对我来说，这个房间代表了我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接我搁置的年轻的自己，通过在我的生活中为快乐留出空间，通过创造一个允许快乐机会的环境。)”可知，文章讲述了作者小时候很喜欢拍照，后来作者的压力越来越大，这使得他放弃了拍照，偶然间作者看到了角落里的照相机，作者重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。所以D项“Regaining Pleasure Through Photography (通过摄影重新获得乐趣)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 主题02人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25 高一上・四川资阳安岳中学・期末） My roommate Lily was well organised, while I was not. Each of her things had its place, but mine were always hidden somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签于) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Lily got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Lily came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Lily answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy (同情) rose up in my heart. Slowly. I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so lost in my work that I even didn’t notice Lily had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression a kind of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.” Lily and I stayed roommates for the rest of the college years. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together, giving in, cleaning up and holding on. 1．How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed? A．By analyzing causes. B．By giving some examples. C．By showing the difference. D．By describing a process. 2．What made Lily so angry one evening? A．She heard the author shouting loud. B．She saw the author’s shoes under her bed. C．She got the news that her grandma was ill. D．She couldn’t find her books anymore. 3．Why did the author clean up the room? A．Because she wanted to show her care for Lily. B．Because she hated herself for being so messy. C．Because Lily required her to do so. D．Because she was scared by Lily’s anger. 4．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Hard Work Pays Off B．Learning to Be Roommates C．My Friend Lily D．How to Be Organised? 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了室友之间的冲突及如何通过理解和互相包容解决矛盾的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“My roommate Lily was well organised, while I was not. Each of her things had its place, but mine were always hidden somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签于) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Lily got neater and I got messier. (我的室友Lily非常有条理，而我没有。她的每样东西都有固定的位置，而我的东西总是藏在某个地方。她甚至给所有的东西都贴上了标签。我总是到处找东西。随着时间的推移，Lily变得越来越整洁，而我则越来越杂乱。)”可知，第一段主要描述了作者和室友Lily在组织习惯上的不同，Lily很有条理，而作者则很杂乱。所以作者是通过叙述两人之间的差异来组织这一段的内容的，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Soon, I heard her screaming. ‘Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!’ (很快，我听到她尖叫：‘把你的鞋拿走！为什么会在我的床下！’)”可知，让Lily发怒的是她看见作者的鞋子在她的床下面，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy (同情) rose up in my heart. (显然，这是她不应该独自经历的事情。突然间，一股温暖的同情之情在我心中升起。)”可知，作者打扫房间是因为她同情Lily，想要表达自己对她的关心，故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容及最后一段中“We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together, giving in, cleaning up and holding on. (我们并不总是一致，但我们学会了共同生活的关键，学会妥协、整理和坚持。)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者与自己的室友Lily的生活习惯很不相同，后来她们两个人之间发生的一场冲突让作者学会了关心室友，学会了如何与室友相处，因此最好的标题应该是B选项“Learning to Be Roommates (学会做室友)”，故选B。 Passage 2 （23-24 高一上・四川泸州泸县四中・期末） Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I rarely went to bed before midnight, and I would almost always get up late the next morning. But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed me that I was using the wrong strategy. The most common wrong strategy is this:You assume that if you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail. There are two main schools (流派) of thought on sleep patterns. The first is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both of them are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at set hours, you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough. You’re wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep. If your sleep is based on what your body tells you, you’ll probably be sleeping more than you need. Also, your mornings may be less predictable if you’re getting up at different times. The solution for me has been to combine both methods. I go to bed when I’m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 am), but I go to bed at different times every night — sometimes at 9:30pm, and other times at midnight. Most of the time I go to bed between 10-11 pm. However, going to bed only when I’m sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning is my way. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own. 5．According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to ________. A．people who stay up until the next morning B．people who feel sleepy in the morning C．people who get up early in the morning D．people whose productivity is the highest in the morning 6．Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser? A．Because he/she wanted to form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. B．Because he/she wanted to see which of the two main schools of thought on sleep patterns was right. C．Because he/she had found that his / her productivity was higher when he / she got up early. D．Because he/she was told the high relationship between success and rising early. 7．The author experienced all the following EXCEPT ________. A．asking scholars for advice on sleeping habits B．getting up early occasionally C．pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping D．going to bed after midnight 8．The passage is mainly about ________. A．how to have good sleep B．how to become an early riser C．wrong strategies for getting up early D．main schools of thought on sleep patterns 【答案】5．C 6．C 7．A 8．B 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是我如何通过努力成为了一个早起者。 5．猜测词意题。根据第一段Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made.（早起的人是天生的还是后天养成的？以我为例，肯定是后天养成的。）提出了文章的主题。然后在第一段说明自己以前并不是一个早起的人。再在第二段So I set out to become a habitual early riser.（所以我开始成为一个习惯性的早起者。）进一步证实我是一个后天养成的早起者。所以猜测出morning people是指那些“早起的人”，故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段的On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity (效率) was always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser.可知，我偶尔早起了几次，却发现我的效率总是很高，因此我决定成为早起的人，故选C。 7．细节理解题。根据第一段“In my early 20s, I hardly went to bed before midnight,”可知D项：在午夜之后才睡；第二段的“On those rare occasions where I did get up early”可知B项：偶尔早起；以及第二段“But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep.”可知C项：关掉闹钟继续睡。这些都是作者经历过的事情。而只有A项：向研究睡眠习惯的学者寻求建议。在文中没有提到。故选A。 8．主旨大意题。本文作者在文章开头就用了一个疑问句引出本文话题“Are morning people born or made?（早起的人是天生的还是后天养成的？）”。然后以自己为例，通过讲述自己原本并不是一起早起的人，后来如何努力改变，最终成为了一个早起的人。并且在文章结尾处用句子“If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.（如果你想成为一个早起者，你可以自己试一试我的方法。）”鼓励我们成为一个早起者。可知本文主要讲述的是我如何努力成为了一个早起者。B项表述概括全面，故选B。 Passage 3 （23-24 高一上・四川叙永一中・期末） Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).” After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing. I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we’ll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings. Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class. 9．What happened to the author after science class? A．He lost his science textbook. B．He got lost on the campus. C．He was late for math class. D．He was given detention. 10．What did the author think of his art class? A．Difficult. B．Enjoyable. C．Boring. D．Easy. 11．What did the English teacher do after seeing the author’s work? A．He praised the author. B．He pointed out the author’s mistake. C．He asked the author to check punctuation. D．He encouraged the author to introduce himself. 12．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Learn useful skills in high school B．My new teachers in high school C．Make plans for high school life D．My first day in high school 【答案】9．C 10．B 11．A 12．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在高中生活的第一天。 9．细节理解题。根据第一段“I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, ‘Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).’(我很担心会迟到，我确实迟到了。数学老师说：‘明天要准时，否则你就会被留校’)”可知，科学课后，作者数学课迟到了。故选C项。 10．细节理解题。根据第二段“I like my art class a lot because I get to create things.(我非常喜欢我的美术课，因为我可以创造东西。)”可知，作者认为美术课很愉快。故选B项。 11．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.(我们可以写一段话或一首诗，我写了一首关于我自己的诗。我认为这是一首好诗，老师说我用了很好的意象来表达我的感情。)”可推断，英语老师看了作者的作品后赞扬了作者。故选A项。 12．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard.(今天是我上高中的第一天，很艰难。)”及全文可知，文章讲述了作者在的高中第一天。所以D项My first day in high school(我高中的第一天)作为文章标题最为合适。故选D项。 Passage 4 （23-24 高一上・四川乐山某校・期末） I published my newest novel, Haven Lake, in May, and I have another book ready for publication in October. I have experienced more success as a writer than I ever imagined. So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears? When I published my first book, I had become used to failure. I wrote many unpublished novels for over 20 years before selling the first. Now I'm here. My books have all sold out their advance (预订). The reviews have been largely positive. At the same time, I am still troubled by doubt. I'm not alone in that. At a lecture I attended recently by Wally Lamb, he talked about how difficult it was to write the next novel after his novel, She's Come Undone, was brought into spotlight. Elizabeth Gilbert received over nine million views for her TED talk, where she admitted that she was afraid to write after the success of her book, Eat, Pray, Love. I don't have as many readers to disappoint as Lamb and Gilbert have, of course, but I worry about disappointing them all the same. So I am afraid every day I write. I fear writing a book that isn’t interesting to readers. The only thing that keeps me going is this: I write because writing is the thing I love to do. My passion to tell stories makes me create characters. That‘s when I know the writing is true and good, whether readers find the book and love it or not. 13．What feeling does the author mainly express in Paragraph 1? A．Thankfulness. B．Interest. C．Stress. D．Impatience. 14．What can we learn about the author’s books? A．They have been as successful as imagined. B．They were difficult to sell out their advance. C．Most of them have received negative reviews. D．Many of them were not able to be published. 15．What is the author’s main worry about writing? A．Creating popular characters. B．Disappointing the readers. C．Finding proper publishers. D．Failing to get success. 16．What can be the best title for the text? A．Writing forward. B．Writing for publication. C．What makes a good writer. D．What to think when writing. 【答案】13．C 14．D 15．B 16．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己作为一名作家所经历的成功和随之而来的恐惧与压力。尽管取得了超出预期的成功，作者在写作每一本新书时仍感到越来越困难，并分享了如何克服这些恐惧继续写作。 13．细节理解题。根据第一段“So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears?”（为什么每写一本新书都比前一本更难？我是如何克服恐惧继续前进的？）可知，作者在首段主要表达了写作过程中感受到的压力。故选C项。 14．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I wrote many unpublished novels for over 20 years before selling the first.”（在卖出第一本书之前，我写了20多年未出版的小说。）可知，作者的书中有许多之前未能出版。故选D项。 15．细节理解题。根据第三段“I worry about disappointing them all the same.（我担心让他们所有人失望。）”和“I fear writing a book that isn’t interesting to readers.（我害怕写出的书对读者来说不有趣。）可知，作者主要担心的是让读者失望。故选B项。 16．主旨大意题。根据第一段“So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears?”（ 那么，为什么写每一本新书都比之前的一本更难呢？尽管我有恐惧，但我又该如何继续写下去呢？）以及最后一段“The only thing that keeps me going is this: I write because writing is the thing I love to do. My passion to tell stories makes me create characters. That's when I know the writing is true and good, whether readers find the book and love it or not”（让我坚持下去的唯一原因就是：我写书是因为我喜欢写作。我对讲故事的热情驱使我创造出各种角色。当我创造出这样的角色时，我就知道我的作品是真实而优秀的，无论读者是否找到这本书并喜欢它）可知，本文讲述了作者尽管在写作上取得了成功，但仍然感到压力和恐惧，并且表达了如何继续前进的态度。因此，A项“Writing forward(向前写作)”适合作为本文标题。故选A项。 Passage 5 （24-25 高一上・四川仁寿一中北校区・期末） Before I came to the United States years ago, I had thought that culture separated people, but I have realized now that cultures are closer than we know. In the United States, there are certainly more differences than similarities when comparing it to my country. An amazing aspect of culture is the food produced. I’ve always been a foodie (美食家). When I was hungry, there were many foreign signs of restaurants, but deciding which one was a difficult task. I remember reading the sign for “Chipotle” and I had no idea what was served there. Who would ever have imagined that an experience as simple as trying new food would produce thoughts of cultures? I find it truly beautiful that each culture brings different spices and tastes to the table. I have tried wonderful foods from all sorts of cultures. Each is very unique and atmospheres are also quite interesting and culturally affected. Although the food may taste different, preparation can be somewhat consistent (一致的). Many of the foods I have tasted have had similar mechanisms of cooking (烹饪机制). Here in the United States, it can be somewhat difficult to express all of my culture, mainly because there are many different cultures here. But I have found common ground on these matters and have learned to adapt (适应)to different cultures. I have learned how to live in two cultures. I’m not saying it’s easy, I’m not saying that it’s extremely hard, but it’s all about balance. Each person has their own culture. Life has too many things to care. The theory of “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” is very applicable in most situations. Throughout my experiences here, I have certainly learned a lot about others. Culture is something different to many people but in the end, it connects all of us. Cultures bring others together to create new and exciting situations. 17．What does the author learn about culture after coming to the United States? A．Culture separates people. B．Culture is from local food. C．Culture is closer than he knows. D．Food is the culture that unites people. 18．What made the author confused about American food? A．The choice of proper food. B．The ways of serving food. C．The different tastes of food. D．The methods of food production. 19．What does the author find beautiful about different cultures? A．Each culture has unique atmosphere. B．Preparation methods of food are similar across cultures. C．All foods from different cultures taste the same. D．Each culture brings different tastes to the table. 20．How does the author feel about living in two cultures? A．Difficult. B．Beneficial. C．Awkward. D．Unpleasant 【答案】17．C 18．A 19．D 20．B 【导语】本文是记叙文。作者以自己在异乡的经历告诉我们如何在不同的文化中生活。 17．细节理解题。根据第一段“Before I came to the United States years ago, I had thought that culture separated people, but I have realized now that cultures are closer than we know.(在我几年前来到美国之前，我曾认为文化将人与人分开，但现在我意识到，文化比我们所知道的更紧密)”可知，文化之间的联系比我们所了解的更紧密。故选C。 18．细节理解题。根据第二段“When I was hungry, there were many foreign signs of restaurants, but deciding which one was a difficult task.(当我饿的时候，有许多外国餐馆的标志，但决定哪一家是一项艰巨的任务)”可知，关于美国的食物，让作者感到困惑的是如何在众多餐馆中选择适合自己的食物。故选A。 19．细节理解题。根据第三段“I find it truly beautiful that each culture brings different spices and tastes to the table.(我发现每一种文化都给餐桌带来了不同的香料和口味，这真的很美)”可知，不同的文化带来不同种类的食物。故选D。 20．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Throughout my experiences here, I have certainly learned a lot about others. Culture is something different to many people but in the end, it connects all of us. Cultures bring others together to create new and exciting situations.(通过我在这里的经历，我当然也学到了很多关于别人的东西。文化对许多人来说是不同的，但最终，它将我们所有人联系在一起。文化将其他人聚集在一起，创造出令人兴奋的新局面)”可知，作者认为生活在两种不同的文化环境中是有益的。故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25 高一上・四川泸州合江马街中学・期末） Pop stars have traditionally not come from the upper classes of society. Eminem grew up on a trailer (活动住屋) park. 50 Cent is from the dangerous shelters of New York. The Beatles grew up in the poor city of Liverpool. However, some musicians have come from the army. Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, served with the American Army in Germany while Jimi Hendrix was in the parachute regiment (伞兵团). Following in that tradition comes a British hit, James Blunt. His single, You’re Beautiful, was a huge success, and his concerts have sold out all over the country. James Blunt, born on February 22, 1977, comes from a family with a long tradition of military service. His early life was not filled with music. His army officer father thought all music, even classical, was unnecessary noise. His life seemed certain to follow that of his father’s before him—private schools, a good university and a career as an officer in the British Army. The thought of pursuing a career in music had never occurred to him until he witnessed an older boy playing an electric guitar at age 14. When he was sent to Kosovo in 1999, he didn’t just take his gun he also took his guitar, attached to the side of his tank. As he drove through villages damaged by the war, he used to sing the John Lennon song Give Peace a Chance. “Well,” he later said, “we were peacekeepers.” In 2003 he left the army and went to Los Angeles to make a record. In 2004, his first album Back to Bedlam was released, and the singles High, Wise Men and You’re Beautiful have been great successes. For the singing soldier, putting down a gun for a guitar has been a good choice. 1．What do Elvis Presley and James Blunt have in common? A．They were from upper social classes. B．They were kings of Rockand Roll. C．They rose to fame in Britain. D．They used to serve in the army. 2．What made James Blunt take up music? A．His father’s support. B．The Beatles’ influence. C．A guitar performance. D．Family tradition of music. 3．What is James Blunt’ s first album? A．Back to Bedlam. B．Give Peace a Chance. C．High, Wise Men. D．You’re Beautiful. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Blunt’s journey to the US. B．Blunt’s success as a singer. C．Blunt’s practice of singing. D．Blunt’s best-selling records. Passage 2 （24-25 高一上・四川绵阳中学・期末） Being the strong wife and mother that she is, Diana Register often hid her deep pain and suffering from those around her. In the weeks and months following her husband’s cancer diagnosis, Diana would search for “hiding” places where she could let the uncontrollable waterfalls of tears flow from her eyes. “The storage room was a favorite. Then was the shower. But when I wasn’t home, it was the parking lots that served as my hiding places,” she said. After her husband passed away, parking lots were Diana’s safe haven (避风港) for pain and sorrow. One day, as she was about to place her order in the Dutch Brothers coffee drive-thru (汽车餐厅), the wave of sadness hit her like a tidal wave in the middle of her conversation with a friend. “I could hardly catch my breath and the ugly crying started,” said Diana. “The problem was, I was stuck in the coffee line at Dutch Brothers, one place where all the workers are young, happy and jamming out to music. And there was no way out. I was literally blocked in, so unless I wanted to back right up into the SUV behind me, I was about to be seen for the mess I really was.” The barista, who was making and serving coffee at the window, handed Diana an iced coffee with a sweet and simple note on the top. “When I looked down in the cup holder, I saw it. A pink straw, and the words ‘We love you’ written around it.” The girl didn’t know Diana’s pain or her story, but she knew she was hurting and couldn’t fix it. “She wanted me to know I wasn’t alone and that whatever trial I was going through, there were people out there who cared about me.” 5．What would Diana do when she wanted to cry? A．Go out for a ride. B．Cry her eyes out totally alone. C．Have a conversation with her friend.

Passage 3 （24-25 高一上・四川泸州泸化中学・期末） Joshua Nelson, 18, from Missouri, is graduating from St. Charles West High School this week and will be attending Southeast Missouri State in the fall. He had saved up money to pay for his tuition, but when he received the college's President's Scholarship, he decided to take his savings and donate it to other students in need. “It comes from my family education and faith," Nelson said. "I've always lived by strong principles as far as being a cheerful giver and having an open hand when it comes to giving back so I feel like that really motivated me.” SEMO's President's Scholarship is the school’s most celebrated, and is only awarded to five top students annually. Nelson said he sat down and outlined how a scholarship could work to help future students who need financial assistance for college. Originally the plan was to give away $ 1,000 the one time, but then he met up with his counselor (顾问), Yolanda Curry, to work out a game plan. “I wasn't expecting it at all!” Curry said. "He told me he had a great idea and wanted to share it with me. I could tell he was really excited. Nelson, in association with his high school, set up the Joshua Nelson Leaders In Action Scholarship fund. Each year, $1,000 will be awarded to a senior. The money will come from donations, of which there have been $16,000 so far — for a total of $17,435 at last count, according to the school. With the money already in the fund, there's enough to give out a scholarship each year for over a decade. The first scholarship was awarded on June 1 to Darrell Montalvo-Luna. As the first recipient, his scholarship was $2,000. “Joshua has the heart of a servant leader. He leads by example and he's genuinely excited when good things happen for other people," Curry said. "He's an encouragement — he's good at building others up and does what he can to help encourage and motivate those around. 9．What did Nelson's initial donation come from? A．His scholarship.

Passage 4 （24-25 高一上・四川成都邛崃一中・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 opposite. 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. 13．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. 14．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. 15．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. 16．What does the underlined word mean? A．Finally B．Sometimes C．Firstly D．Constantly 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25 高一上・四川广安二中・期末） As we enjoyed our trip in Paris, I noticed that the people we came across were helpful, kind and nice. One day, an employee from a burger place across the street from our hotel noticed my Cleveland Cavaliers cap. We struck up a conversation about basketball and he encouraged me to visit his establishment. The next day we stopped there — a snack bar, and the guy that I talked to wasn’t there. Overall, there was room for about a dozen people to eat in the place. The guy that was taking my order spoke a little English, just enough for me to understand. Midway through my attempt to place my order, he apologized that his English wasn’t very good. I thought for a split second and responded “et mon francais est très mal!” He froze for a moment and the look on his face was priceless. It was some combination (混合) of shock, surprise, being impressed and a little amusement. He shook my hand and said “okay, okay that’s good! ” It was just a small connection with someone on the other side of the world, someone I’ll probably never see again. But for that instant there was a cool connection between two people, both understanding that speaking other languages wasn’t easy! Both appreciating each other’s effort to communicate in a way that the other person would understand, no matter how bad our attempts were. Later I found that my direct translation wasn’t exactly what I intended. I didn’t find that out until much later! I was attempting to say “and my French is very bad”, what came out instead was “and my French is very wrong”. That was so much better because I just proved my point even more without knowing it. Perhaps the best part of the story is that the burger that I got was the best burger that I’ve ever had in my life! I still dream about that burger and laugh every time I think about going to that burger spot. 1．What does the author think of their trip in Paris? A．Pleasant. B．Hard. C．Adventurous. D．Embarrassing. 2．How did the guy respond when he first heard the author’s poor French? A．He felt funny. B．He felt angry. C．He was amazed. D．He was indifferent. 3．What value is the author trying to promote through the story? A．Willingness and courage. B．Kindness and adventure. C．Forgiveness and generosity. D．Understanding and respect. 4．What does the author want to express in the last paragraph? A．He likes eating burger best. B．He speaks highly of that snack bar. C．He is impressed by the snack bar trip. D．He dreams to visit the snack bar again. Passage 2 （23-24 高一上・四川宜宾叙州二中・期末） Letting me move into my university dormitory wasn’t an easy decision for my parents. However, they knew if I wanted a good education, I’d have to live away from home. I’d always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life. Unexpectedly, during the first few months of living alone, I would find myself crying every day. I would call my mum every day. Coming from a big family, I was used to noises surrounding me. Therefore, the scary silence at night was the worst. I couldn’t even sleep without keeping the lights on. As time went by, I started enjoying the freedom that came with living alone. I could do things in my own time: eat whenever I want, wake up whenever I want. The space of loneliness was also then filled up by friends who became like family, so I started missing my family less. When it was time to say goodbye and go back home after my graduation I was bittersweet. I’d enjoyed my time alone, learning things which wouldn’t have been possible if I had never moved away from home. But I’d also missed my family too much. I’d learned a lot from this experience. Living alone made me value family time even more. I realized every second with them was important though I might not get the freedom while living alone. I guess it’s different for everybody, but for me, there is no warmth in a house unless it’s filled with loving members and people you love. 5．How did the author feel before moving into the university dormitory? A．Sad. B．Happy. C．Nervous. D．Cold. 6．What can we know about the author from paragraph 4? A．He had mixed feelings. B．He didn’t enjoy his time alone. C．He has been used to the life in school. D．He found living with his family was better than in the school. 7．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．The author felt cold living in school. B．The author’s dormitory was the warmest place. C．The author felt warm living with his beloved ones. D．Everyone felt warm when living with his beloved ones. 8．What does the author want to tell us? A．Family is the most important place in people’s life. B．As time goes by, people can get used to what happened. C．People can find freedom only when they leave their family. D．People need to grow up on their own, but family plays an important role. Passage 3 （24-25 高一上・四川自贡一中・期末） A Texas mom, Hammond, is eager to encourage others to learn about autism (自闭症) through her book, A Day With No Words. The book follows her son, Aidan, through a regular day, as he uses a tablet (平板电脑) to tell his mom what he thinks or what he wants for lunch. Aidan has autism and so does his brother, Josiah. Aidan does not speak while Josiah can speak in some situations. “After people learn that Aidan doesn’t speak, one response they will have is to ask: ‘So he doesn’t know words?’ or ‘Does he not understand anything that we’re saying?’” said Hammond. Those questions pressed Hammond to find a way to show the life of people with autism. Hammond said Aidan understood words. He communicated by using a tablet that let him express himself through pictures and words. “When my son was younger, some experts would say, ‘Oh, he is unlikely to speak.’ But he’s kind of communicating with us, through his eyes; through pointing; through grabbing my hand and bringing me somewhere. He laughs when I make a joke; he cries when I’m sad. All these expressions are communication. He’s communicating with me, just in a unique way,” Hammond said. “And I love that. I love that for him.” Aidan’ s communication method is shown in A Day With No Words. “I wanted to support my sons in every possible way that I could,” Hammond said. Hammond surely hopes to make readers think more deeply about communication and learn more about autism. Besides, she also wants to stress the close ties she has with her son, Aidan. “I wanted to show that he is like all the other kids. He loves being outside. He loves swings (秋千). He loves playing on the grass, and he loves life,” she added. 9．How did Aidan communicate? A．Just by crying and laughing. B．With the help of his brother Josiah. C．By speaking in some situations. D．Through a tablet with words and pictures. 10．What made Hammond write A Day With No Words? A．Her sons’ advice. B．Readers’ requests. C．Her dream of writing. D．People’s unawareness of autism. 11．Which of the following best describes Hammond as a mother? A．Caring and determined. B．Confident and intelligent. C．Hardworking and courageous. D．Humorous and knowledgeable. 12．What is the main idea of the text? A．The story of a talented autistic boy Aidan. B．The difficulties of raising autistic children. C．A mom’s book about her autistic son and its purpose. D．The different communication methods of autistic people. Passage 4 （23-24 高一上・四川仁寿一中南校区・期末） I met a beautiful soul yesterday. I went to work with my computer to a local café so that I could have dinner there. It was raining a bit this time and also I was among people. Sometimes when you work from home all day this is in itself a treat. And the magic of the connection sometimes happens—a smile, someone offering you the newspaper, a short conversation with the staff, a peace dove flying past and lots of possibilities for love and kindness. Well, magic did happen. I heard a man who was speaking with difficulty and very loud. I noticed he could not speak so clearly and he had some kind of impairment (损伤). As often happens, people looked at him or avoided doing so, and then—as if embarrassed or afraid—looked down. In these cases I try to do the opposite. I imagined a person in these situations would want to feel integrated (融入群体). So I decided to deliberately (故意地) look at him and smile. It was an instant (瞬间)! He looked at me, smiled and immediately said hello. With a combination of spoken and body language he asked if he could approach me. I agreed. He introduced me to his friend who taught sign language online and explained that they were both deaf, after which he even told me about his wife and how he loved teaching. I apologized for not knowing sign language and hoped I’d learned. We still managed to have a beautiful “conversation” which made us all very happy. I’m sure we’ll meet again to experience the magic of being with others. 13．Why did the author go to the café yesterday? A．To find someone beautiful. B．To work and eat something. C．To ask for a latest newspaper. D．To have a short talk with others. 14．What’s the most important to a disabled person? A．Being included into normal life. B．Accepting help from people around. C．Avoiding the embarrassments in life. D．Having a friend in the same situation. 15．How did the author react to the man with speaking difficulty? A．He pretended not to see him. B．He had a joke with him. C．He looked and smiled at him. D．He laughed at him like others. 16．What could be the best title for the text? A．A Special Café B．A Broken Heart C．Power of Sign Language D．Magic at the Café Passage 5 （23-24 高一上・四川宜宾叙州一中・期末） Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).” After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing. I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we’ll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings. Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class. 17．What happened to the author after science class?

However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday. My senior high school is called Yantai No. 1 Middle School with a long history, which can date back to 1931. When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed. To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it. I was asked to put study in the first place all the time by both my parents and my teachers. At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on. Our class was like a big family. I got along well with my classmates. We always discussed issues of all kinds after class. I made many friends in the family and we still keep in touch with each other after we graduated. Luckily, my teachers were also very enthusiastic and friendly. We were seen as their children. They not only taught us knowledge but told us how to do better. What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do some cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved. This is my high school life, busy but fulfilling. I will never forget it. 21．It seems that the author’s high school life is anything but ______.

One of them is a 99-year-old English army captain, known simply as “Captain Tom”, using a rolling frame (滚动的框架) for support when he walks. He had been very impressed by the efforts of the health care system workers. He wanted to join them. Captain Tom tried to raise money to support NHS workers by walking laps (圈) around his garden. Each lap is about 80 feet (25 meters). His original plan was to walk 100 laps. He hoped to raise &1,000. Captain Tom soon announced his fundraiser (资金筹集活动). In less than 24 hours, he had reached his goal. Shocked by his success, the captain set a new goal of raising ten times of his original goal by his 100th birthday, April 30. People learned about the project quickly. The fundraiser easily beat the new goal, reaching &50,000 by April 12th. The captain and his team decided to try for half a million pounds. Two days later, more than a million pounds had been raised. By the time the captain finished his 100th lap, people had donated &14 million. Mr. Moore described it as “an absolutely fantastic sum of money”. Things didn’t stop there. Captain Tom promised that he would continue his walking project as long as people kept raising money, and people did so. Word spread further as Captain Tom followed up his walking activity with interviews.

I considered postcards as simply a way to share travels until I came across my grandmother’s postcard album (专辑). It was a dark gray leather album, where most of the postcards had pictures that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination. Instead, the notes were mostly invitations to a dinner party or, a walk the next day. “Why do these postcards ask you to come to tea?” I asked my grandmother. “Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone,” she said. “I would post a postcard in the morning mail, and a friend would receive it that afternoon. Then she would post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning.” I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of the world. Connecting by postcard seemed as unexpected as using a pigeon (鸽子). I had forgotten about my grandmother’s postcards until lockdowns (封锁) limited our trips to seeing our three granddaughters. Remembering my grandmother’s album, I bought several sets of cards and every few weeks, I’d write notes and mail them. Then one day I opened my mailbox and saw three hand-addressed envelopes. They were from my granddaughters, each thanking me for the postcards. The notes expressed their disappointment with the pandemic and described how my messages had comforted them. I had been thinking how my grandmother had accepted the telephone as a new way to keep relationships. Like her, I accepted the girls’ preferred way of communication and texted my thanks for their letters. However, even as the lock-downs end, I will continue to send them postcards because everyone enjoys receiving a real letter. 5．Why did the author’s grandmother write postcards? A．To share her travel experiences. B．To show love and care. C．To keep in touch with people. D．To kill the time. 6．What did the author think of life without a phone? A．It was unbelievable.

A．An Old Postcard Album B．New Ways of Communication C．Love during Lockdowns D．Attraction of Postcards Passage 3 （24-25 高一上・四川泸州天府中学・期末） Christina wanted to lead the way back to camp and went on talking cheerfully, asking different kinds of questions about plants and wildlife. As we walked about halfway down the hillside, she fell over a stone. I jogged (慢跑) up to where she fell down. Suddenly, I saw a lion making a long deep angry sound about ten feet up on a huge rock watching me. I stood still, holding my breath, wondering what to do. Christina was crying down below. I couldn’t shout to her to be quiet, or the lion might attack me. Then, remembering Dad’s words, I slowly dropped my backpack and took off my T-shirt. With the pack on one arm and the T-shirt on the other, I spread my arms, trying to look as wide and big as I could. Carefully I moved away down the hillside toward Christina, keeping my eyes on the lion. “Christina,” I called. “Stop crying. Get up slowly and catch my belt. We’re going down the hill. There’s a lion at the top.” We moved quietly and slowly down the hill. Once back to the forest, with the lion out of view. I removed the sweat from my face with my T-shirt before putting it on, and looked at Christina. Hatless, red eyes, a few small cuts but nothing major. We had hiked for miles before we finally made our way back to our site. Dad saw me first. “Where have you been?” he shouted. “We were so worried,” Mother cried. “Mommy, you didn’t have to worry.

On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change. I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I've taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. 13．What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy? A．Inspiring and practical. B．Tiring yet delightful. C．Exciting and worthwhile. D．Difficult yet engaging. 14．Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2?

D．Different styles of photography. 16．What is the best title for the text? A．Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories B．Appreciating Beauty Behind the Lens C．Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera D．Regaining Pleasure Through Photography 主题02人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25 高一上・四川资阳安岳中学・期末） My roommate Lily was well organised, while I was not. Each of her things had its place, but mine were always hidden somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签于) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Lily got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Lily came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Lily answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy (同情) rose up in my heart. Slowly. I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so lost in my work that I even didn’t notice Lily had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression a kind of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.” Lily and I stayed roommates for the rest of the college years. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together, giving in, cleaning up and holding on. 1．How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed? A．By analyzing causes. B．By giving some examples. C．By showing the difference. D．By describing a process. 2．What made Lily so angry one evening? A．She heard the author shouting loud. B．She saw the author’s shoes under her bed.

A．Hard Work Pays Off B．Learning to Be Roommates C．My Friend Lily D．How to Be Organised? Passage 2 （23-24 高一上・四川泸州泸县四中・期末） Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I rarely went to bed before midnight, and I would almost always get up late the next morning. But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed me that I was using the wrong strategy. The most common wrong strategy is this:You assume that if you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail. There are two main schools (流派) of thought on sleep patterns. The first is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both of them are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at set hours, you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough. You’re wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep. If your sleep is based on what your body tells you, you’ll probably be sleeping more than you need. Also, your mornings may be less predictable if you’re getting up at different times. The solution for me has been to combine both methods. I go to bed when I’m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 am), but I go to bed at different times every night — sometimes at 9:30pm, and other times at midnight. Most of the time I go to bed between 10-11 pm. However, going to bed only when I’m sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning is my way. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own. 5．According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to ________.

In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).” After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing. I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we’ll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings. Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class. 9．What happened to the author after science class? A．He lost his science textbook. B．He got lost on the campus. C．He was late for math class. D．He was given detention. 10．What did the author think of his art class? A．Difficult. B．Enjoyable. C．Boring. D．Easy. 11．What did the English teacher do after seeing the author’s work? A．He praised the author. B．He pointed out the author’s mistake. C．He asked the author to check punctuation. D．He encouraged the author to introduce himself. 12．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Learn useful skills in high school B．My new teachers in high school C．Make plans for high school life D．My first day in high school Passage 4 （23-24 高一上・四川乐山某校・期末） I published my newest novel, Haven Lake, in May, and I have another book ready for publication in October. I have experienced more success as a writer than I ever imagined. So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears? When I published my first book, I had become used to failure. I wrote many unpublished novels for over 20 years before selling the first. Now I'm here. My books have all sold out their advance (预订). The reviews have been largely positive. At the same time, I am still troubled by doubt. I'm not alone in that. At a lecture I attended recently by Wally Lamb, he talked about how difficult it was to write the next novel after his novel, She's Come Undone, was brought into spotlight. Elizabeth Gilbert received over nine million views for her TED talk, where she admitted that she was afraid to write after the success of her book, Eat, Pray, Love. I don't have as many readers to disappoint as Lamb and Gilbert have, of course, but I worry about disappointing them all the same. So I am afraid every day I write. I fear writing a book that isn’t interesting to readers. The only thing that keeps me going is this: I write because writing is the thing I love to do. My passion to tell stories makes me create characters. That‘s when I know the writing is true and good, whether readers find the book and love it or not. 13．What feeling does the author mainly express in Paragraph 1? A．Thankfulness. B．Interest. C．Stress. D．Impatience. 14．What can we learn about the author’s books? A．They have been as successful as imagined. B．They were difficult to sell out their advance. C．Most of them have received negative reviews. D．Many of them were not able to be published. 15．What is the author’s main worry about writing? A．Creating popular characters. B．Disappointing the readers. C．Finding proper publishers. D．Failing to get success. 16．What can be the best title for the text? A．Writing forward. B．Writing for publication. C．What makes a good writer. D．What to think when writing. Passage 5 （24-25 高一上・四川仁寿一中北校区・期末） Before I came to the United States years ago, I had thought that culture separated people, but I have realized now that cultures are closer than we know. In the United States, there are certainly more differences than similarities when comparing it to my country. An amazing aspect of culture is the food produced. I’ve always been a foodie (美食家). When I was hungry, there were many foreign signs of restaurants, but deciding which one was a difficult task. I remember reading the sign for “Chipotle” and I had no idea what was served there. Who would ever have imagined that an experience as simple as trying new food would produce thoughts of cultures? I find it truly beautiful that each culture brings different spices and tastes to the table. I have tried wonderful foods from all sorts of cultures. Each is very unique and atmospheres are also quite interesting and culturally affected. Although the food may taste different, preparation can be somewhat consistent (一致的). Many of the foods I have tasted have had similar mechanisms of cooking (烹饪机制). Here in the United States, it can be somewhat difficult to express all of my culture, mainly because there are many different cultures here. But I have found common ground on these matters and have learned to adapt (适应)to different cultures. I have learned how to live in two cultures. I’m not saying it’s easy, I’m not saying that it’s extremely hard, but it’s all about balance. Each person has their own culture. Life has too many things to care. The theory of “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” is very applicable in most situations. Throughout my experiences here, I have certainly learned a lot about others. Culture is something different to many people but in the end, it connects all of us. Cultures bring others together to create new and exciting situations. 17．What does the author learn about culture after coming to the United States? A．Culture separates people. B．Culture is from local food. C．Culture is closer than he knows. D．Food is the culture that unites people. 18．What made the author confused about American food? A．The choice of proper food. B．The ways of serving food. C．The different tastes of food. D．The methods of food production. 19．What does the author find beautiful about different cultures? A．Each culture has unique atmosphere. B．Preparation methods of food are similar across cultures. C．All foods from different cultures taste the same. D．Each culture brings different tastes to the table. 20．How does the author feel about living in two cultures? A．Difficult. B．Beneficial. C．Awkward. D．Unpleasant / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
