1、 阅读理解
A
Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.
Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After stripping off the shell, she observed the hardboiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.
“Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity — the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.
The strong and hard potatoes became soft and weak in the boiling water. The eggs were fragile, with thin outer shell protecting their liquid until they were put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the eggs became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like?” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?”
In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.
1.Why did the girl complain to her father?
A.Because of her hard life. B.Because of her tiring job.
C.Because of her father’s busy work. D.Because of the food her father cooked.
2.What can we infer from this story?
A.The girl liked the coffee best.
B.The father was good at cooking.
C.The girl didn’t like the potatoes and eggs.
D.Different people have different reactions to adversity.
3.What does the underlined word “fragile” mean in the 5th paragraph?
A.Thick. B.Easily broken. C.Strong. D.Hard.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Father and daughter B.Adversity and a chef
C.A chef and coffee beans D.Challenges and responses
B
The first fortnight was tough - terrible pain and the rapid realization that running 200 marathons in 200 days would not be a walk in the park. But Steve James, a 65-year-old retired banker, has found his feet and reached the halfway mark — an average of 100 marathons in 100 days.
“In those first two weeks I was thinking: ‘What have I done?’” James said. “I had horrible blisters (水泡) for the first 10 days. The gout (痛风) struck all of a sudden, but I took some medicine and it went away. Now I feel fine.”
James’s progress along the coastlines of Great Britain is being tracked by experts from the University of Exeter, who are keen to find out the effects of such an extreme challenge on an older person.
The challenge is to do, on average, a marathon every day. Some days, it might be a bit less; others a bit more. There is no set route. James has a plan but adapts and changes it. As for fuel, he is not following the sort of diet an exceptional athlete might adopt. He has cereal, bacon, cake and fish and chips for dinner, washed down with a couple of beers.
“It’s all about routine, about getting up and leaving at the same time,” said James. “I love the physical challenge. I’m not especially talented at things, but I can keep going.”
The Exeter researchers assessed James before his departure and he sends data daily for them to analyze. They are studying his calorie intake, oxygen levels and muscle measurements. He has lost about 10kg but the team has seen no ill-effects to his health.
James, who is raising money for Cancer Research UK, passes the time by listening to music and is also learning Welsh. By the time he gets to Wales, he hopes to be able to order a beer in the language. He thinks the most difficult stretch physically will be the north coasts of Devon and Cornwall. “I’m kind of hoping that by then my body will be completely conditioned and I’ll be able to cope with that.”
5.What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A.The difficulties James faced. B.James’s solution to challenges.
C.James’s attitude to the running. D.The treatment James received.
6.What can be learned about James’s running plan?
A.It features a strict diet. B.It is made by researchers.
C.It is confirmed by other athletes. D.It changes based on circumstances.
7.What is James’s expectation for the journey ahead?
A.To run all over Wales. B.To be physically adapted.
C.To grow thinner and healthier. D.To raise money for cancer patients.
8.What message does the passage convey?
A.Exercise shapes one’s character. B.Health begins where the feet move.
C.Limits can be redefined at any age. D.Optimism unlocks human potential.

A
Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.
Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After stripping off the shell, she observed the hardboiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.
“Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity — the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.
The strong and hard potatoes became soft and weak in the boiling water. The eggs were fragile, with thin outer shell protecting their liquid until they were put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the eggs became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like?” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?”
In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.
1.Why did the girl complain to her father?
A.Because of her hard life. B.Because of her tiring job.
C.Because of her father’s busy work. D.Because of the food her father cooked.
2.What can we infer from this story?
A.The girl liked the coffee best.
B.The father was good at cooking.
C.The girl didn’t like the potatoes and eggs.
D.Different people have different reactions to adversity.
3.What does the underlined word “fragile” mean in the 5th paragraph?
A.Thick. B.Easily broken. C.Strong. D.Hard.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Father and daughter B.Adversity and a chef
C.A chef and coffee beans D.Challenges and responses
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了一个父亲将土豆、鸡蛋、咖啡豆分别放在水中去煮,以此启发女儿思考如何应对人生逆境的故事,借此阐述身陷逆境时,人内心的反应至关重要这一深刻道理。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.(一个女儿向父亲抱怨她的生活不快乐,而且她厌倦了总是挣扎)”可知,女儿抱怨是因为她生活艰难。故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段中“He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity — the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.(然后他解释说,土豆、鸡蛋和咖啡豆身处同样的逆境——沸水之中。然而,它们的反应各不相同)”以及第五段中父亲问女儿“Which one do you want to be like?(你想成为哪一种?)”和“When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?(当逆境找上门来时,你将如何应对?)”可知,不同的人对逆境有不同的反应。故选D。
3.词句猜测题。根据第五段中“The eggs were fragile, with thin outer shell protecting their liquid until they were put in the boiling water.(鸡蛋是fragile,有着薄薄的外壳保护着里面的液体,直到被放入沸水中)”可知,鸡蛋有薄壳,很容易碎,fragile意为“易碎的”。故选B。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第五段中父亲的问题“When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?(当逆境找上门来时,你将如何应对?)”和最后一段的总结“In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.(生活中,挑战会降临在我们所有人身上,但唯一真正重要的是我们内心发生的变化)”可知,文章主要围绕挑战和如何回应展开,D选项“Challenges and responses(挑战与反应)”准确概括了文章主旨。故选D。
B
The first fortnight was tough - terrible pain and the rapid realization that running 200 marathons in 200 days would not be a walk in the park. But Steve James, a 65-year-old retired banker, has found his feet and reached the halfway mark — an average of 100 marathons in 100 days.
“In those first two weeks I was thinking: ‘What have I done?’” James said. “I had horrible blisters (水泡) for the first 10 days. The gout (痛风) struck all of a sudden, but I took some medicine and it went away. Now I feel fine.”
James’s progress along the coastlines of Great Britain is being tracked by experts from the University of Exeter, who are keen to find out the effects of such an extreme challenge on an older person.
The challenge is to do, on average, a marathon every day. Some days, it might be a bit less; others a bit more. There is no set route. James has a plan but adapts and changes it. As for fuel, he is not following the sort of diet an exceptional athlete might adopt. He has cereal, bacon, cake and fish and chips for dinner, washed down with a couple of beers.
“It’s all about routine, about getting up and leaving at the same time,” said James. “I love the physical challenge. I’m not especially talented at things, but I can keep going.”
The Exeter researchers assessed James before his departure and he sends data daily for them to analyze. They are studying his calorie intake, oxygen levels and muscle measurements. He has lost about 10kg but the team has seen no ill-effects to his health.
James, who is raising money for Cancer Research UK, passes the time by listening to music and is also learning Welsh. By the time he gets to Wales, he hopes to be able to order a beer in the language. He thinks the most difficult stretch physically will be the north coasts of Devon and Cornwall. “I’m kind of hoping that by then my body will be completely conditioned and I’ll be able to cope with that.”
5.What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A.The difficulties James faced. B.James’s solution to challenges.
C.James’s attitude to the running. D.The treatment James received.
6.What can be learned about James’s running plan?
A.It features a strict diet. B.It is made by researchers.
C.It is confirmed by other athletes. D.It changes based on circumstances.
7.What is James’s expectation for the journey ahead?
A.To run all over Wales. B.To be physically adapted.
C.To grow thinner and healthier. D.To raise money for cancer patients.
8.What message does the passage convey?
A.Exercise shapes one’s character. B.Health begins where the feet move.
C.Limits can be redefined at any age. D.Optimism unlocks human potential.
【答案】5.A 6.D 7.B 8.C
【导语】本文为记叙文,主要讲述了65岁的退休银行家Steve James 挑战200天完成200 场马拉松,起初遭遇诸多困难但逐渐适应,目前已完成一半赛程,埃克塞特大学的专家对其身体状况进行跟踪研究,他还为英国癌症研究中心筹款的故事。
5.主旨大意题。根据文章第二段““In those first two weeks I was thinking: ‘What have I done?’” James said. “I had horrible blisters (水泡) for the first 10 days. The gout (痛风) struck all of a sudden, but I took some medicine and it went away. Now I feel fine.”(詹姆斯说:“头两周我一直在想:‘我这是干了什么?’头十天我身上起了很严重的水泡。痛风突然发作,但我吃了点药就好了。现在我感觉很好。”)”可推知,该段重点讲述了James在挑战初期遇到的各种困难。故选A。
6.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“James has a plan but adapts and changes it.(James有一个计划,但会根据情况调整和改变)”可推知,James的跑步计划会根据实际情况做出改变。故选D。
7.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I’m kind of hoping that by then my body will be completely conditioned and I’ll be able to cope with that.(我希望到那时我的身体能完全适应,并且能够应对挑战)”可推知,James对接下来的行程期望是身体能适应后续的跑步挑战。故选B。
8.推理判断题。根据文章首段“But Steve James, a 65-year-old retired banker, has found his feet and reached the halfway mark — an average of 100 marathons in 100 days.(但65岁的退休银行家史蒂夫•詹姆斯已经站稳了脚跟,并达到了一半的目标——平均100天跑100场马拉松。)”以及全文讲述65岁的James完成极端马拉松挑战的内容可推知,文章传递的信息是任何年龄都可以重新定义自己的极限。故选C。

【参考词汇】

【答案】
Dear fellow students,
Today I’d like to share the touching story of perseverance from Shackleton’s crew on Elephant Island.
When Shackleton sailed away to find help, 22 crew members were left on the rough and isolated island. They felt desperate at first: there was no fresh water, no vegetables or fruit, and their food only consisted of sea animals. The animal fat they used to make fire gave off heavy black smoke that damaged their eyes and lungs, and the extreme cold brought constant danger of illness.
But they never gave in to despair. They cheered each other up by celebrating birthdays, festivals and even small things like catching a sea animal. Their strict discipline and firm team spirit helped them keep optimistic, and they persevered in holding on to life with unshakable faith in Shackleton. What I admire most is their unbreakable resolve — they stuck together and kept a positive mind even in the darkest adversity.
Finally, Shackleton kept his commitment to save every crew member, which paid back their trust and patience. This story tells me that perseverance and optimism are the strongest weapons to overcome any adversity in life.
Thank you.

But the team never fell into despair.They cheered each other up by celebrating small events, and their firm discipline kept them optimistic. They persevered in the tough situation with unshakable faith in Shackleton. Finally, Shackleton’s commitment to save them paid back, and all the men were rescued.This story tells me that perseverance and optimism are the best weapons against adversity. In my study, when I face difficult problems, I will also keep a positive mind and keep trying, because only perseverance can lead us out of darkness.
