2026届高三英语重点中学联考阅读专项训练七（B篇）

1.2026届高考英语第一次模拟考试练习卷（浙江专用） B A British driver, Billy Monger, was just 17 when he had an accident in a Formula 4 race, losing his legs as a result of the serious injuries. In a second, the teenager was facing a very different future. But Monger, who is now 25, refused to be defeated. In October last year, Monger broke the world record for the fastest double amputee (被截肢者) to complete an IRONMAN at the World Championship, which is considered as one of the hardest endurance (耐力) events in the world. The athlete, who also works as a racing expert, took on the challenge with the goal of raising money for a non-profit organization which aims to fight global hunger and improve living conditions. It’s perhaps obvious, when you consider the distances, that this event is not something you can simply walk into unprepared. For Monger, this was the result of a full year of training that taught him to deal with the difficult situation. With the help of expert trainers that become almost part of his close family, Monger trained nearly every day to get his body and mind in the best possible condition. Being a double amputee, Monger faced a far more challenging preparation than most others. Running, for example, put huge pressure on his broken legs, so it was important that his prosthetics (假肢) fitted perfectly, or pain and soreness could possibly make him give up. Then came the cycle, where Monger decided to ride a pushbike rather than a handbike. It meant the former racing driver had to learn the basics over again. After his record-breaking achievement, Monger said he has set his sights firmly on the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, where he hopes to compete for Great Britain in the para-triathlon. Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support for others will remain Monger’s main goal. 24．What’s Monger’s purpose in joining in the IRONMAN World Championship? A．To prepare for the Paralympics. B．To test his new prosthetic legs. C．To collect contributions for a good cause. D．To prove his ability to drive race cars. 25．Why was Monger’s training especially difficult? A．He had to train alone without any support. B．He had never done endurance sports before. C．His preparations were not sufficient enough. D．His prosthetic legs made things harder. 26．What can be expected of Monger in the future? A．He may leave the sports field completely. B．He will follow the footsteps of his role models. C．He will hold on to his dreams while helping others. D．He hopes to coach those sharing the same experience. 27．Which words can best describe Monger? A．Kind-hearted and creative. B．Tough-minded and inspiring. C．Fortunate and generous. D．Independent and skilled. 2.2026届高考英语第一次模拟考试练习卷（江苏专用） B There must be few occasions when it would be really rude to refuse an invitation to hit someone you’ve just met with your fist! But I’m in one of those right now. I’m in a rehearsal room in a theatre with a group of actors, facing up to stage fighting director Kate Waters. She wants me to hit her with my fist. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors fight each other without getting hurt. Already a passionate martial arts expert from childhood, Kate did drama at university, and one of her courses introduced her to stage fighting. When she made inquiries about the possibility of teaching it as a career, she was told about the register of stage fight directors and the qualifications she’d need to be accepted into it. It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate (空手道) and skill in fencing, a sport she’d never tried before. But she rose to the challenge and finally successfully became one of only two women on the official register. Of course, a stage fight is just smoke and mirrors. In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap (拍). When the slap comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap. In the rehearsal room, I can’t resist asking Kate how she thinks she would do in a real fight. Would she give her attacker a hard time? She laughs, “Oh, I’d be awful,” she says. “I only know how to pretend.” I can’t help thinking, however, that she’s just being rather humble. 24．Why does Kate ask the author to hit her? A．To show actors stage fighting skills. B．To teach actors to defend themselves. C．To help actors rehearse an action scene. D．To attract actors’ interest in martial arts. 25．What was a challenge Kate faced in becoming a stage fight director? A．She could not find a female teacher. B．She had no prior experience in drama. C．She had to master an unfamiliar sport. D．She had trouble obtaining a certificate. 26．What do the underlined words “smoke and mirrors” in paragraph 3 mean? A．A difficult technique. B．A dangerous situation. C．A well-planned lesson. D．A misleading performance. 27．What does the author imply about Kate’s real fighting ability? A．She relies a lot on tricks. B．She may lack confidence in herself. C．She might be better than she admits. D．She excels more at performing than fighting. 28．What does the text focus on? A．How stage fighting can be dangerous if not done properly. B．The life and career of a successful female stage fight director. C．A comparison between real fighting and stage fighting. D．The history of martial arts in the theatre industry. 3.安徽省滁州市2025-2026学年高三上学期2月期末英语试题 B It had been more than 10 years since they got together like this. The three sisters’ eyes were filled with tears, hands holding tight. Rubye was 110 years of age at the time, while Ruth was 104 and Rose was 101. These three centenarians (百岁老人) were enjoying a long-awaited reunion made by a nonprofit charity — Wish of a Lifetime. The charity is the passion project of Jeremy Bloom, a former Olympic skier who was impressed by how much other countries respected their elders. When he took a trip to North China for a skiing competition at age 15, Bloom was moved by how many passengers helped an elderly slow-walking woman onto a bus. In that moment, a seed was planted, though it took 10 years for the seed to germinate into Wish of a Lifetime. In the summer of 2008, Bloom took the steps to form his charitable organization. He wanted to adapt the concept of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which fulfills requests for ill children, to fit folks on the opposite end of the age range. Today, Wish of a Lifetime has a staff of 26 full-time employees and some 25,000 volunteers nationwide, and is funded by donations and corporate sponsorship. The 3,000 wishes fulfilled so far have all been reviewed by a member of the team. A World War II veteran (老兵) returned to the beaches of Normandy for the first time since D-Day; a woman wrote and performed a play based on her life story; a former Air Force captain got the chance to meet his heroes, the Rolling Stones. Wish of a Lifetime is not Bloom’s full-time job but his full-time focus. “It was my 100percent all in,” Bloom says. “Let’s build a program. Let’s meet the seniors. Let’s change as many lives as we can.” 4. How does the author introduce the charity in paragraph 1? A. With a specific example. B. With a direct quotation. C. With an exact statement. D. With an argumentative claim. 5. What inspired Bloom to start the charity? A. His experience in North China. B. Support from corporate sponsors. C. His own respect toward the elders. D. Advice from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. 6. What does the underlined word “germinate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Dive. B. Grow. C. Burst. D. Divide. 7. What does the author think of Bloom? A. He is truly respected. B. He is widely introduced. C. He is largely assisted. D. He is completely committed. 4.山东省青州第一中学2025-2026学年高三上学期期末模拟（三）英语试题 B Shane Gross is from Saskatchewan, Canada, a province far away from the sea, so his first underwater experiences were in a cold, green lake with a disposable film camera. Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and watched Jaws countless times. After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously. In 2011, he moved to the Bahamas to work as a dive instructor, which allowed him to spend more time in the water and improve his photography skills. In 2017, while diving at one of their regular spots, “Sea Garden”, Gross and his girlfriend encountered a turtle (海龟). They were deeply upset at the terrible scene—the turtle was trapped, struggling, and ultimately dying. Realizing there was nothing they could do to save it, Gross removed the abandoned fishing line wrapped around the turtle and documented the moment. His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen. When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane Gross advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image. He encourages them to document the entire scene they’re passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water. Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully. For Shane, spending time in the ocean is deeply fulfilling. “I live a marine (海洋的) lifestyle,” he says. “But most people don’t share this connection.” To bridge this gap, he created Bahamas Underwater, a book combining stories and vivid imagery to introduce people to marine ecosystems and their wonders. Shane recommends that taking time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care. 4. What can we learn about Shane Gross from paragraph 1? A. He grew up in the coastal area. B. He longed to be a dive instructor. C. He followed his childhood passion. D. He did academic research on sharks. 5. Why did Shane take a photo of the sea turtle? A. To criticize overfishing. B. To protect natural habitats. C. To save the injured animal. D. To highlight marine pollution. 6. What is the key to good underwater photography according to paragraph 3? A. A large image. B. A unique scene. C. A complete story. D. A strong motivation. 7. What does Shane suggest as the first step toward caring for the ocean? A. Promoting green lifestyles. B. Appreciating ocean’s beauty. C. Sharing marine knowledge. D. Documenting nature’s wonders. 5.广西河池市2025-2026学年秋季上学期高三期末学业水平质量检测英语试卷 B By the time Alex was 13, he was well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts centre. Yet he wanted more-specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he faced an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a driver for creation. “There was a gap in the art world, and I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Alex, now 15. With the support of his parents, Alex rented a store and founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery charges a small hanging fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent commission fee(佣金)on sales. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after the opening, Henry Cameron, a professor and artist, happened upon the gallery while walking in his neighbourhood. An exhibition was being installed at the time, and some of Alex’s own work was on the walls. A connection was formed, and Alex asked Henry to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize. Considering how busy Alex is with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. Leo Smith, a 17-year-old artist from Toronto says it’s about time that a venue like Little EGG existed. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we’re due, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art.” 24. Why was Alex rejected by a juried exhibition? A. His work was of poor quality. B. He was beyond the age limitation. C. He did not pay the required fee. D. He was not old enough. 25. What do we know about Little EGG? A. It is free of charge. B. It is set up with Alex’s own efforts. C. It is aimed at young talents. D. It holds competitions regularly. 26. What does the underlined phrase “we’re due” possibly mean？ A. We are expected. B. We deserve. C. We reserve. D. We are looked down on. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. Failures can drive positive changes. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Art connects people worldwide. D. Easier said than done. 6.青海西宁二中教育集团2025-2026学年第一学期高三英语期末考试题 B Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 4. How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name? A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled. 5. After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________. A. criticise the review process B. stay longer in the Sahara Desert C. apply to the original project again D. put his heart and soul into the lab work 6. According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________. A. demanding B. inspiring C. misleading D. amusing 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. An invitation is a reputation. B. An innovation is a resolution. C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A reflection can be a restriction. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 1.2026届高考英语第一次模拟考试练习卷（浙江专用） B A British driver, Billy Monger, was just 17 when he had an accident in a Formula 4 race, losing his legs as a result of the serious injuries.

(这位运动员同时也是一名赛车专家，他接受这一挑战的目标是为一家旨在抗击全球饥饿和改善生活条件的非营利组织筹集资金。)”可知，Monger参加比赛的目的是为非营利组织筹集资金，故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Being a double amputee, Monger faced a far more challenging preparation than most others. Running, for example, put huge pressure on his broken legs, so it was important that his prosthetics (假肢) fitted perfectly, or pain and soreness could possibly make him give up. Then came the cycle, where Monger decided to ride a pushbike rather than a handbike. It meant the former racing driver had to learn the basics over again. (作为一名双截肢者，Monger面临的准备工作比大多数人更具挑战性。例如，跑步时会对他受伤的腿部造成巨大的压力，因此他的假肢必须完美贴合，否则疼痛和酸痛可能会让他放弃。接下来是自行车项目，Monger决定骑普通自行车而不是手摇自行车。这意味着这位曾经的赛车手不得不重新学习基础知识。)”可知，Monger的训练难是因为他的假肢让他跑步和骑自行车很困难，故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“After his record-breaking achievement, Monger said he has set his sights firmly on the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, where he hopes to compete for Great Britain in the para-triathlon. Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal. (在打破纪录后，Monger表示，他已经将目光坚定地投向了2028年洛杉矶残奥会，他希望届时能代表英国参加残奥铁人三项比赛。无论他接下来做什么，成为榜样并向他人提供支持仍将是蒙格的主要目标。)”可知，Monger将继续追求自己的梦想，同时帮助他人，故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In October last year, Monger broke the world record for the fastest double amputee (被截肢者) to complete an IRONMAN at the World Championship, which is considered as one of the hardest endurance (耐力) events in the world. (去年10月，Monger在世界锦标赛上打破了最快完成IRONMAN比赛的截肢者世界纪录，而这项赛事被认为是世界上最具挑战性的耐力项目之一。)”可知，Monger在失去双腿后依然坚持训练并打破世界纪录，因此他是意志力坚强的；且根据文章最后一段“Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal. (无论他接下来做什么，成为榜样并向他人提供支持仍将是蒙格的主要目标。)”可知，他想要成为榜样并为他人提供支持，因此他的行为是激励他人的。故选B。 2.2026届高考英语第一次模拟考试练习卷（江苏专用） B There must be few occasions when it would be really rude to refuse an invitation to hit someone you’ve just met with your fist!

But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors fight each other without getting hurt. 她想让我用拳头揍她。但别担心，这一切都是完全假扮出来的！业内被称为 “格斗凯特” 的凯特正在上一堂课，教演员们如何在不受伤的情况下打斗。)” 可知，Kate 让作者打她是为了展示舞台格斗技巧，教演员如何安全地进行舞台打斗。故选A。 25．细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate (空手道) and skill in fencing, a sport she’d never tried before.(这可不是个小任务：除了需要高级舞台格斗证书外，她还需要空手道黑带，以及掌握一项她从未尝试过的运动 —— 击剑技能。)”可知，Kate面临的挑战之一是必须掌握一项她不熟悉的运动 —— 击剑。故选C。 26．词句猜测题。根据下文“In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap (拍). When the slap comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap.(在我们的课上，凯特向我展示了演员在计划好的拍打动作前如何背对观众。当拍打动作发生时，手掌并没有接触皮肤，而是打在空气中：演员会拍打自己的胸部或腿部来制造拍打声。)”可知，舞台格斗并不是真实的打斗，而是通过技巧制造出逼真的效果，具有误导性。因此 “smoke and mirrors” 在此处意为 “一种误导性的表演”。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“She laughs, “Oh, I’d be awful,” she says. “I only know how to pretend.” I can’t help thinking, however, that she’s just being rather humble.(她笑着说：“哦，那我会很糟糕的。”她说道，“我只会懂得如何假装罢了。”然而，我不禁觉得她只是太谦虚了。)”可知，作者认为Kate说自己在真实打斗中会很糟糕，其实是一种谦虚的说法，暗示她的真实打斗能力可能比她自己承认的要好。故选C。 28．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章首先介绍了作者在Kate的课堂上学习舞台格斗的经历，然后详细讲述了 Kate 的职业成长历程 —— 从武术爱好者到成为一名成功的女性舞台格斗指导，以及她所具备的专业资质。因此，文章的重点是讲述一位成功的女性舞台格斗指导的生活和职业生涯。故选B。 3.安徽省滁州市2025-2026学年高三上学期2月期末英语试题 B It had been more than 10 years since they got together like this.

In that moment, a seed was planted, though it took 10 years for the seed to germinate into Wish of a Lifetime.(15岁时，布鲁姆去中国华北参加滑雪比赛，看到众多乘客搀扶一位步履蹒跚的老年妇女上车，他深受触动。在那一刻，一颗种子被种下，尽管过了10年这颗种子才成长为终生愿望组织。)”可知，布鲁姆在中国华北的经历启发他创立了这个慈善机构。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“In that moment, a seed was planted, though it took 10 years for the seed to germinate into Wish of a Lifetime.(在那一刻，一颗种子被种下，尽管过了10年这颗种子才germinate成终生愿望组织。)”可知，句中将创立慈善机构的想法比作种下的种子，结合种子的生长规律，此处指种子慢慢成长、发展为这个慈善组织，germinate意为“生长、萌发”，与grow意义相近。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Wish of a Lifetime is not Bloom’s full-time job, but his full-time focus. “It was my 100percent all in,” Bloom says. “Let’s build a program. Let’s meet the seniors. Let’s change as many lives as we can.”(终生愿望组织并非布鲁姆的全职工作，却是他全身心投入的焦点。布鲁姆说：“我为它倾尽了全部心力。让我们打造这个项目，走近老年人，尽我们所能改变更多人的生活。”)”可知，作者通过描述布鲁姆的言行，体现出他对这个慈善事业是全身心投入、尽心尽力的。故选D项。 4.山东省青州第一中学2025-2026学年高三上学期期末模拟（三）英语试题 B Shane Gross is from Saskatchewan, Canada, a province far away from the sea, so his first underwater experiences were in a cold, green lake with a disposable film camera. Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and watched Jaws countless times. After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously. In 2011, he moved to the Bahamas to work as a dive instructor, which allowed him to spend more time in the water and improve his photography skills. In 2017, while diving at one of their regular spots, “Sea Garden”, Gross and his girlfriend encountered a turtle (海龟). They were deeply upset at the terrible scene—the turtle was trapped, struggling, and ultimately dying. Realizing there was nothing they could do to save it, Gross removed the abandoned fishing line wrapped around the turtle and documented the moment. His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen. When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane Gross advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image. He encourages them to document the entire scene they’re passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water. Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully. For Shane, spending time in the ocean is deeply fulfilling. “I live a marine (海洋的) lifestyle,” he says. “But most people don’t share this connection.” To bridge this gap, he created Bahamas Underwater, a book combining stories and vivid imagery to introduce people to marine ecosystems and their wonders. Shane recommends that taking time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care. 4. What can we learn about Shane Gross from paragraph 1? A. He grew up in the coastal area. B. He longed to be a dive instructor. C. He followed his childhood passion. D. He did academic research on sharks. 5. Why did Shane take a photo of the sea turtle? A. To criticize overfishing. B. To protect natural habitats. C. To save the injured animal. D. To highlight marine pollution. 6. What is the key to good underwater photography according to paragraph 3? A. A large image. B. A unique scene. C. A complete story. D. A strong motivation. 7. What does Shane suggest as the first step toward caring for the ocean? A. Promoting green lifestyles. B. Appreciating ocean’s beauty. C. Sharing marine knowledge. D. Documenting nature’s wonders. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Shane Gross的海洋摄影历程。他从小对海洋充满热爱，长大后成为一名水下摄影师，致力于推动海洋保护事业的发展。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and watched Jaws countless times. After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously.(尽管如此，他一直对海洋，尤其是鲨鱼着迷，看了无数次《大白鲨》。2009年，他在澳大利亚背包旅行，沿途潜水，之后他决定认真追求自己的激情。)”可知，他从小热爱海洋，长大后也在继续追寻这份热爱，故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen.(他的照片后来在2019年国际海洋艺术水下摄影比赛中获得了保护类第一名，引起了人们对经常被忽视的海洋废物问题的关注。)”可知，Shane拍海龟的照片是为了突出海洋污染问题。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully.(一旦你有一个故事要讲，创建一个镜头列表，并继续拍摄，直到你把它记录完整。)”可知，水下摄影成功的关键在于有一个完整的故事，故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。从最后一段“Shane recommends that taking the time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care.(Shane建议，花时间欣赏海洋的壮丽景色应该是创造有意义的改变的第一步——从冷漠到积极关怀的转变。)”可知，Shane认为激发人们保护海洋意识的第一步是欣赏海洋之美，故选B。 5.广西河池市2025-2026学年秋季上学期高三期末学业水平质量检测英语试卷 B By the time Alex was 13, he was well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts centre. Yet he wanted more-specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he faced an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a driver for creation. “There was a gap in the art world, and I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Alex, now 15. With the support of his parents, Alex rented a store and founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery charges a small hanging fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent commission fee(佣金)on sales. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after the opening, Henry Cameron, a professor and artist, happened upon the gallery while walking in his neighbourhood. An exhibition was being installed at the time, and some of Alex’s own work was on the walls. A connection was formed, and Alex asked Henry to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize. Considering how busy Alex is with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. Leo Smith, a 17-year-old artist from Toronto says it’s about time that a venue like Little EGG existed. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we’re due, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art.” 24. Why was Alex rejected by a juried exhibition? A. His work was of poor quality. B. He was beyond the age limitation. C. He did not pay the required fee. D. He was not old enough. 25. What do we know about Little EGG? A. It is free of charge. B. It is set up with Alex’s own efforts. C. It is aimed at young talents. D. It holds competitions regularly. 26. What does the underlined phrase “we’re due” possibly mean？ A. We are expected. B. We deserve. C. We reserve. D. We are looked down on. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. Failures can drive positive changes. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Art connects people worldwide. D. Easier said than done. 24-27 DCBA 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是 13 岁的小艺术家 Alex 申请参加一个评审展览时因年龄小被拒绝，于是他创办了一个专门为未成年艺术家提供展示机会的画廊 Little EGG。 24.

I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 4. How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name? A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled. 5. After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________. A. criticise the review process B. stay longer in the Sahara Desert C. apply to the original project again D. put his heart and soul into the lab work 6. According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________. A. demanding B. inspiring C. misleading D. amusing 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. An invitation is a reputation. B. An innovation is a resolution. C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A reflection can be a restriction. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会，告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…”and my vision blurred (模糊). (当我看到邮件发件人的名字时，我的心跳加速了。这封邮件是这样开头的：“亲爱的格林先生，感谢您的关注”，“审核过程比预期的要长。”信的结尾是“我们很抱歉地通知你……”，我的视线模糊了)”可知，收到的是被拒绝的邮件，所以推测作者在看到电子邮件发件人的名字时感到焦虑。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. (因此，当我收到这封邮件后不久，负责这个项目的玛丽·德文教授邀请我去她的实验室观察正在进行的工作时，我感到非常震惊。我欣然接受了这个机会，几周后，当她邀请我和她谈谈我可以在她的实验室里从事的潜在项目时，我同样感到震惊——同时也是欣喜若狂。她提出的建议似乎没有我最初申请的项目那么令人兴奋，但我打算全力以赴)”可知，与德文教授交谈后，作者决定全心全意地投入实验室工作。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. (我发现自己和一个机器人教授一起研究从沙漠中远程收集数据的技术。我可以在沙发上完成这个项目，而不是在沙漠的酷热中完成，它不仅在封锁期间幸存下来，而且在传统方法不奏效的地方也奏效了。最后，我有了新的科学兴趣去追求)”可推知，机器人学教授的项目很鼓舞人心。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. (我明白了有时候我需要抓住提供的机会，即使这些机会在当时听起来并不完美，也要充分利用，而不是一成不变地制定计划)”结合文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会，告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。故C选项“拒绝可以是重定向”最符合文章的主旨。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
