高考真题练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2022浙江1月,A) For nearly a decade now, Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist. Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis(危机) in the late 2000s. The downturn hit the real estate(房地产) firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job. One day, while driving near her home, she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly lost. She took it home, and her sister in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving home for sure, but 1,600 miles away. It didn't take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself. It was her first road trip to her new job. Merebeth's pet delivery service satisfies her wanderlust. It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly. If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there. She travels in all weathers. She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming, heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas. This wanderlust is inherited from her father, she says. He moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old, because he wanted them to explore a new place together. As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast, away from her parents, where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking. It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30,000 per year before tax. She doesn't work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning. As autumn comes, she gets restless—the same old wanderlust returning. It's a call she must handle alone, though. Merebeth says, “When I'm on the road I'm just in my own world. I've always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I must help animals.” 1.Why did Merebeth change her job?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 A.She wanted to work near her home. B.She was tired of working in the office. C.Her sister asked her to move to Denver. D.Her former employer was out of business. 2.The word “wanderlust” in paragraph 2 means a desire to 　　　.  A.make money　　B.try various jobs C.be close to nature　　D.travel to different places 3.What can we learn about Merebeth in her new job? A.She has chances to see rare animals. B.She works hard throughout the year. C.She relies on herself the whole time. D.She earns a basic and tax-free salary. 高考词汇站 派生/合成词汇 1.special adj.特别的;专用的;专门针对……的→　　　　　n.专家;专科医生  2.finance n.资金;财政;金融 vt.提供资金→　　　　　 adj.金融的;财政的  3.deliver v.递送;传送;发表→　　　　　 n.递送;交付  4.rest n.& v.休息→　　　　　 adj.坐立不安的,不耐烦的  5.self-employed adj.　　　　  6.downturn n.　　　　  7.off-road adj.　　　　  8.independent-spirited adj.　　　　  熟词生义 9.hit v.　　　　  Ⅱ.七选五 (2025新课标Ⅰ) An Unsung Hero Need a break between classes or just a quick pick-me-up in the morning? The College Cafe has just that, and more. 　1　  Catherine Murphy, a cafe worker in a green shirt and black hat, makes sure that each customer gets exactly what they order. She goes back and forth between machines to make the drinks. 　2　 As the customer grabs the drink from her hand, she smiles and says, “Hello, how is your day?” Even when the line is getting longer, she doesn't let it get in the way of her genuine conversations.  Murphy gets up at a quarter to five and drives thirty minutes every day to get to work on time. 　3　 “I do so because I like to make coffee for the students. I know they need it in the morning,” Murphy said. Being a mother and wife has helped her become the woman she is. She believes she is here to serve.  One thing Murphy may not know is that her smile is contagious(有感染力) and can be the difference in a student having a much better day than they were having before seeing her. Joanna Wright, a senior political science major, loves coffee and goes to the cafe at least six days a week. 　4　 “Catherine always has a huge smile on her face, which always puts me in a cheerful mood,” Wright said.  “I enjoy working in the cafe,” Murphy said. 　5　 She has every intention of staying and continuing doing what she loves.  A.The cafe closes at 9 pm every day.
