Her ancestors navigated (航行) the oceans for centuries using their knowledge of the stars, the sun, the currents and the wind. It’s not that she does it in a canoe without technology, but rather uses the natural technology around her. It’s called Wayfinding, and was taught to her by her father.”可知,卡拉利用父亲所教的寻路技能乘独木舟航海,通过观察周围的自然元素在海洋中航行。故选A项。 6.B　推理判断题。根据第三段“But it also had its moments of awe. For Kala, the beauty was in tying together the past and the present to enjoy the moment.”可知,对卡拉来说,航行的美好之处在于把过去和现在联系在一起,享受当下的时光。据此推知,卡拉的航行让她快乐。故选B项。 7.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s easy to be lost in the immediacy of the technology of our day, to be consumed by screens and miss the nature that unfolds around us. But if we will take the time to look up, to see the stars and the sun, the way the clouds move, the miracle of life beneath and above us, we will discover something deep inside us, something that will always lead to happiness.”可知,作者建议我们远离屏幕,接近大自然。故选C项。 8.A　主旨大意题。根据第一段内容并结合全文可知,文章主要叙述了卡拉利用父亲所教的寻路技能,乘坐独木舟在海洋中航行长达三周。其间,她主要靠自然元素寻路。由此可知,A项“寻路”最适合当标题。故选A项。 二、语法填空 1.[2023·石家庄市高三教学质量检测(三)] 【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了对作者来说意义非凡的伦敦Kew Pagoda。 1.bicycling　考查动名词。spend…(in) doing sth是固定搭配,意为“花……做某事”。故填bicycling。 2.largest 　考查形容词最高级。根据语境以及空前的the world’s可知,空处应用形容词最高级,修饰名词greenhouses。故填largest。 3.brought 　考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,空处应填非谓语动词作后置定语,bring和逻辑主语samples之间是被动关系,且动作已经完成,故应用过去分词。故填brought。 4.that　考查强调句。此处是强调句型,根据结构“it is/was+被强调部分+that/who…”可知,此处强调the pagoda,应用that。故填that。 5.was completed　考查动词时态和语态及主谓一致。空处为主句谓语动词,陈述过去的事情,且主语pagoda和complete之间是被动关系,故应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是第三人称单数,故填was completed。 6.an　考查冠词。number “数字”是可数名词,此处为泛指,应用不定冠词修饰,odd的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。 7.subsequently　考查副词。修饰动词disappeared应用所给词的副词形式。故填subsequently。 8.restorations　考查名词复数。空处为句子主语,根据have been可知主语为复数形式。故填restorations。 9.with　考查介词。be familiar with是固定短语,意为“对……熟悉”。故填with。 10.inspiration　考查名词。分析句子可知,冠词an后应填名词单数形式。故填inspiration。 三、完形填空 1.[2023·山西省晋中市三模] 【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Chris Hammans带着儿子Lewis参加电动轮椅足球比赛并带领球队赢得冠军。虽然儿子之后去世了,但他依旧坚持执教。 1.A　根据前文“At four years old, Lewis was diagnosed (诊断) with muscular dystrophy…”以及下文的powerchair可知,此处指Lewis的肌肉会萎缩,故选A。weaken变弱,萎缩; relax放松; stretch延伸; grow生长。 2.C　根据后文“They attended an…session and for Lewis, it was…at first sight.”可知,此处指Hammans看到了一则广告,故选C。ignore忽视; post发布; spot看见; place放置。 3.B　根据上下文以及常识可知,此处指看到了一则关于电动轮椅足球的广告后他们参加了一场关于这种足球的介绍会,故选B。advanced先进的; introductory介绍的,入门的; unprepared没准备的; extraordinary非凡的。 4.A　此处指他对电动轮椅足球一见钟情,故选A。love喜欢,爱; concern担心; pity遗憾; memory记忆。 5.D　根据后文“…a core of players wanted to take it a bit…”可知,此处指起初比赛是娱乐性的,故选D。partly部分地; obviously显然地; eventually最终; originally起初,最开始。 6.B　根据前文“…the games were recreational (娱乐的), but ‘a core of players wanted to take it a bit…’…”可知,此处指想要进一步发展,故选B。straighter更直接地; further进一步地,更远地; longer更长久地; better更好地。 7.D　根据前文“Chris Hammans and his son Lewis shared a passion for football…”可知,此处指Hammans对足球非常感兴趣,故选D。magic魔法; attraction吸引力; test测试; interest兴趣。 8.C　根据空后in the national championship可知,此处指赢得了全国冠军,故选C。survival幸存; adventure冒险,奇遇; success成功; challenge挑战。 9.A　根据空后in all kinds of games可知,此处指参加各种比赛,故选A。compete参加比赛; reunite团聚,重聚; appear出现; encounter遇见。 10.C　根据前文“…during which they would stay and eat together…”可知,他们吃住在一起,因此变得亲密,故选C。grateful感激的; ambitious有抱负的; close亲密的,紧密的; casual随意的。 11.D　根据前文“Sadly, Lewis passed away at the age of 20 after suffering heart attacks.”可知,此处指Hammans的儿子去世了,但他继续在这里当教练,尽管这对他来说很艰难,故选D。boring无聊的; complicated复杂的; normal正常的; tough艰难的。 12.B　根据前文“Hammans, who had a(n)…in football, became the coach…”并联系此处的语境可知,此处指Hammans在儿子去世后,继续当教练,故选B。consult咨询; coach当教练; play玩; operate操作。 13.A　根据空前“It’s a great sport and I think Lewis would have wanted me to…”可知,此处指他认为儿子Lewis希望他继续下去,故选A。carry on继续; hold back控制住; try out考验,试验; give up放弃。 14.B　根据前文讲述的关于Lewis的故事可知,Lewis虽为残疾人,但残疾并没有限制他对运动的热爱,故选B。declare宣布; limit限制; control控制; foster养育。 15.D　根据后文“…them to persevere (坚持) and ultimately achieve success.”可知,此处指对运动的热爱激励他们坚持不懈,并最终获得成功,故选D。invite邀请; require要求; force强迫,逼迫; motivate激励。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4　ADVERSITY AND COURAGE同步话题真题检测 　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　 一、阅读理解 1.[2023·四川省成都市高中毕业班“一诊”] On September 26th, 2022, American ski mountaineer Hilaree Nelson and her partner Jim Morrison reached the summit (顶峰) of 26,781-foot Manaslu. Soon after Nelson began going down on skis, she encountered a small snowslide and was swept away. Two days later, Morrison found her body. Nelson, a National Geographic Explorer, had a distinctive sense of wanderlust (旅游癖) that pushed her through more than 40 expeditions (探险) to 16 countries. In 2012, she became the first woman to summit two 8,000-metre peaks, Mount Qomolangma and Lhotse, in a single 24-hour push. Six years later, Nelson returned to Lhotse to become the first to ski from its summit. In 2017, Nelson and Morrison started another first, of sorts—their first mountain expedition together, as a couple. They succeeded in climbing a 21,165-foot peak in India known as Papsura. It was another expedition, to Hkakabo Razi, an isolated peak in Myanmar, that helped push Nelson to reevaluate her potential. “We would only walk 7 to 10 miles a day, instead of 15 miles, so we could camp in each village and visit with people, doing knowledge-sharing sessions,” Taylor Rees recalls, a film-maker who cooperated with Nelson. “Hilaree stuck with her vision, in that she wanted to do this expedition in a different way and see the entire country from bottom to top.” The National Geographic Society pushed Nelson and her team to the limits of endurance, but they ultimately failed to reach the summit. Although the media wrote it as a failure, Nelson seemed to come away from the experience more driven than ever to succeed as a Himalayan climber and expedition leader. “Hilaree paved the way for women in the adventure sports space with her refusal to choose between motherhood and her athletic career. She showed us that we could be everything—follow our passions as well as raise a family,” says Emily Harrington, a climber who joined her on the Hkakabo Razi expedition.

Her ancestors navigated (航行) the oceans for centuries using their knowledge of the stars, the sun, the currents and the wind. It’s not that she does it in a canoe without technology, but rather uses the natural technology around her. It’s called Wayfinding, and was taught to her by her father. “My father was my foundation, my rock,” she says of her first voyage with him from Oahu to Lahaina in a traditional canoe. He taught her how to read the stars, the ocean swells and how to use them to hold the course. “Over 200 stars have specific names and purposes when you are Wayfinding. You have to look at each and determine if they are rising or setting. You know this star and the direction it represents. If you can do that, you can use it as a tool to orient yourself(确定方向),” Kala added. Kala Tanaka sailed the canoe in the ocean for up to three weeks. During the day, Kala used the sun until it hit a certain height. When she got closer to land, she looked for certain species of land birds and clouds that indicated there was land below. When Kala sailed she felt “very connected to the crew and the canoe. We’re a family”. The longer voyage required Kala to spend hours studying the day and the night skies. It was demanding physical work. But it also had its moments of awe. For Kala, the beauty was in tying together the past and the present to enjoy the moment. So when she was not sailing, she was teaching Wayfinding skills to school-aged children in the hope of preserving the skills her ancestors relied on. It’s easy to be lost in the immediacy of the technology of our day, to be consumed by screens and miss the nature that unfolds around us. But if we will take the time to look up, to see the stars and the sun, the way the clouds move, the miracle of life beneath and above us, we will discover something deep inside us, something that will always lead to happiness. (　)5.How does Kala navigate the ocean in a canoe? A.By observing the natural elements around. B.By following the course of ocean currents. C.By using hi-tech navigation devices. D.By recalling the first voyage with her father. (　)6.What did Kala think of the three-week canoe voyage? A.It was a heroic adventure. B.It brought great joy to her life. C.It was school children’s favourite. D.It represented a kind of innovation. (　)7.What does the author suggest we do? A.Enjoy the screens. B.Explore the universe. C.Get close to nature. D.Keep the earth clean. (　)8.What is the best title of the text? A.Finding our way B.Navigating the ocean C.The wisdom from ancestors D.An unforgettable journey 二、语法填空 1.[2023·石家庄市高三教学质量检测(三)] As a boy, I spent much time in London.
