二、阅读理解
At times, everything goes south on you. Maybe you can try your best to solve that. Maybe you have to accept that. You’re going to say, “This is it.” “This is how I end.”
Let’s read two stories about the superheroes from different countries. What did they do for their goals?
Jingwei Tries to Fill up the Sea Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea, and her boat sank to the sea. Her spirit turned into a beautiful bird after she died. She cried sadly in the sound “Jingwei, Jingwei”. That was why people called her “Jingwei”.
The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. She was so sad that she decided to fill up the sea. Every day, she flew between the mountain and the sea, carrying stones or branches from the mountain and dropping them into the sea.
One day, the sea said to Jingwei, “Poor little bird, stop doing that meaningless thing. You’ll never fill me up.” Jingwei replied, “I’ll fill you up without doubt. I will, even if it will take me thousands of years. I’ll fight on without taking a rest.”
Robinson Crusoe

When Robinson first arrived on the island, he had nothing. But he found the ship and made a small boat. He brought back many things he could use—food and drinks, tools, knives and guns. Although he lost everything, he didn’t lose his life. He kept working and waiting for another ship. He used the knife to cut down trees and built a house.

本文讲述了负责下雨的新天使Chrissy,从不知道如何让云朵下雨,到通过和云朵交流,找到让云朵笑出眼泪来降雨的方法,最终成功完成任务的故事。
1.句意:每个周一,她都必须确保云朵将雨滴洒向世界各地,因为地球上的每一种生物都需要雨水。
文中“spread their raindrops”表明能播撒雨滴的是云朵,clouds符合语境。stories故事、messages信息、angels天使,均无法播撒雨滴,不符合逻辑。
2.句意:Chrissy问一位年长的天使是否能帮助她。
文中“he could help her”是Chrissy的疑问,whether引导宾语从句可表达“是否”的含义,符合语境。that引导宾语从句无实义;what、which引导宾语从句需在从句中充当主/宾语,此处从句不缺成分,故不符。
3.句意:在你之前负责这份工作的天使过去常常给云朵讲悲伤的故事,让它们哭出来。
文中“to make them cry”表明故事的目的是让云朵哭,sad“悲伤的”符合语境。beautiful美好的、funny有趣的、happy开心的,故事都不会让人哭,无法达到让云朵下雨的目的。
4.句意:你可以试试捏云朵让它们哭。
文中是给Chrissy提出的让云朵哭的建议,try doing sth.符合语境。practice练习、mind介意、enjoy享受,代入后语义不通,不符合建议场景。
5.句意:但Chrissy不想伤害云朵,所以她决定放弃那个想法。
文中“Chrissy didn’t want to hurt the clouds”表明她不想伤害云朵,因此放弃捏云朵的想法,give up符合语境。give in屈服、give out分发、give away赠送,均与“想法”搭配不当,不符合语境。
6.句意:第二天早上,当Chrissy从一朵云跳到另一朵云上时,她听到有人在笑。
文中云朵提到“They tickle us when you walk”和“We love to be tickled. It makes us laugh so hard”,表明此时云朵正在笑,laughing符合语境。talking说话、dancing跳舞、crying哭,均与后文云朵大笑的情节矛盾。
7.句意:“哦,对不起,”Chrissy说,“我会更小心的。”
文中Chrissy以为自己弄疼了云朵,因此道歉,careful符合道歉的语境。exciting令人兴奋的、interesting有趣的、careless粗心的,均与道歉时的态度不符。
8.句意:好吧,这给了 Chrissy一个好主意。
文中云朵的话让 Chrissy想到了让云朵笑出眼泪来降雨的方法,idea符合语境。advice是他人给出的意见,此处是Chrissy自己想到的方法;luck运气、gift礼物,均与解决问题的语境无关。
9.句意:Chrissy在天空中所有的云朵上方跳来跳去,所以云朵们笑得很厉害,眼泪从它们的眼睛里涌了出来。
文中“Chrissy was jumping above all the clouds”和“the clouds were laughing hard and tears were pouring”是因果关系,Chrissy跳来跳去挠痒云朵,云朵才会大笑流泪,so符合逻辑。or或者/否则、unless除非、but但是,均无法体现因果逻辑。
10.句意:眼泪落到地上,变成了美妙的雨水。
文中“made wonderful rain”表明云朵的眼泪从天空落到地面变成了雨水,fell符合语境。took带走、read读、led带领,均与眼泪变成雨水的过程不符。
11.B 12.B 13.A 14.A 15.B 16.C 17.D 18.A 19.C 20.D
本文讲述一位父亲通过引导儿子不捉弄农夫、反而悄悄在农夫鞋子里放硬币的小故事,教会儿子善良与助人的道理。
11.句意:在一个农场里,他们看到一双旧鞋子,看起来属于一位贫穷的农夫。
根据后文多次出现“the shoes”以及男孩想要捉弄农夫鞋子的情节,此处应填鞋子。scissors“剪刀”、gloves“手套”、trousers“裤子”均与后文情节不符。
12.句意:我们为什么不把鞋子藏起来,看看农夫找不到鞋子会怎么做?
根据后文“Hiding his shoes”可知男孩想要藏起鞋子捉弄农夫,应用hide。clean“打扫”、buy“购买”、brush“刷”均不符合语境。
13.句意:开这样的玩笑是不好的。
根据上文男孩想藏起鞋子捉弄农夫,这是开玩笑、恶作剧,应用joke。match“比赛”、song“歌曲”、sport“运动”均不符句意。
14.句意:男孩同意了,然后他们在每只鞋子里放了一些硬币。
根据后文两人一起往鞋子里放硬币,说明男孩听从父亲建议、表示同意,应用agreed。refused“拒绝”、appeared“出现”、failed“失败”均与情节相反。
15.句意:当他把脚伸进一只鞋子里时,他感觉到鞋里有硬硬的东西。
硬币质地坚硬,因此此处填hard“坚硬的”。soft“柔软的”、wet“潮湿的”、hot“热的”均不符合硬币的特点。
16.句意:他惊讶地四处张望,但是没有看到任何人。
农夫意外发现鞋子里的硬币,感到十分惊讶,in surprise为固定搭配,应用surprise。danger“危险”、control“控制”、trouble“麻烦”均不符合语境。
17.句意:过了一会儿,他又在另一只鞋子里发现了一些硬币,流下了眼泪。
根据语境,农夫再次找到硬币,是发现硬币,应用discovered。pointed“指向”、dropped“掉落”、placed“放置”均不符合句意。
18.句意:现在我可以给生病的妻子买药,给饥饿的孩子买面包了。
根据后文“sick wife”妻子生病,需要购买药物,应用medicine。glue“胶水”、silk“丝绸”、paper“纸张”均不符合语境。
19.句意:现在你告诉我,哪一件事让你感觉开心?
根据后文男孩选择第二种善意的做法,可知善意的行为让人开心,应用happy。afraid“害怕的”、terrible“糟糕的”、angry“生气的”均不符合语境。
20.句意:我永远不会忘记你教给我的道理。
根据全文父亲通过这件事教会孩子善良的道理,teach sb. a lesson为固定搭配,意为“给某人教训、教给某人道理”,应用lesson。skill“技能”、language“语言”、song“歌曲”均不符。
21.B 22.A 23.B 24.B 25.D 26.A 27.B 28.A 29.C 30.A
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了阅读经典文学对生活的影响,并以《秘密花园》为例,说明通过耐心和关怀,失去的美好可以重生。
21.句意:阅读经典文学可以对我们的生活产生巨大的影响。
根据“have a great ... on”搭配,可知此处需填名词effect,have an effect on意为“对……有影响”,根据语境,阅读对生活产生影响符合逻辑。affect是动词,不能用在形容词后;effort“努力”、fact“事实”均不合语境。
22.句意:然而,有时我们读的故事可能是痛苦的。
根据前文“However”表转折,后文提到花园承载痛苦回忆,可知此处填形容词painful“令人痛苦的”,与前文“阅读带来美好体验”形成对比。pleasant“令人愉快的”、peaceful“平静的”与转折语境矛盾;powerful“强大的”无法呼应后文悲伤情节,不合语境。
23.句意:例如,在《秘密花园》这个故事里,花园成了Craven先生妻子去世后痛苦的回忆。
根据后文“after his wife died”,可知花园承载着亡妻的回忆,因此填形容词painful“痛苦的”,修饰memory。happy“快乐的”、exciting“令人兴奋的”与妻子去世的背景矛盾;forgetful“健忘的”不能修饰memory,用法不当。
24.句意:他决定把它锁起来,以便没有人能进入它。
根据后文“so that…could enter it”及短语lock up“锁上、封闭”,可知此处填动词lock,他决定把花园锁起来,不让任何人进入。open up“打开”,与后文“无法进入”矛盾;clean up“打扫干净”、break up“打碎/分手”,均与“封闭花园”的语境不符,不合逻辑。
25.句意:他决定把它锁起来,以便没有人能进入它。
根据前文“lock it up(锁上花园)”,可知目的是阻止人进入,因此填nobody“没有人”。somebody“某人”与“锁起来”的目的矛盾;anybody“任何人”通常用于否定句/疑问句;everybody“所有人”与语境相反,逻辑不符。
26.句意:它被隐藏在一扇覆盖着植物的门后。
根据后文“behind a door covered by plants”,可知花园是被隐藏起来的,因此填形容词hidden“隐藏的”。open“开放的”与“被植物覆盖”矛盾;clear“清晰的”不合语境;lost“丢失的”与前文“not really lost”矛盾。
27.句意:因此,多年来没有人照顾它,所以它处于糟糕的状态。
根据前文“花园被隐藏”和后文“多年无人照料”,前后为因果关系,因此填Therefore“因此”。However“然而”表转折,不合逻辑;Instead“相反”表对比,不合语境;Otherwise“否则”表假设,不符合因果逻辑。
28.句意:然而,多年来没有人照顾它,所以它处于糟糕的状态。
根据搭配“in a terrible state”,结合后文“多年无人照料”,可知此处填名词state“状态”。place“地方”无法搭配in a terrible;style“风格”不合语境;step“步骤”与语境无关。
29.句意:Mary找到钥匙并秘密地打开了花园。
根据前文“花园被隐藏且多年无人知晓”,可知Mary是偷偷打开花园的,因此填副词secretly“秘密地、偷偷地”。clearly“清晰地” 不合语境;loudly“大声地”与秘密打开的行为矛盾;openly“公开地”与花园被封闭的背景矛盾。
30.句意:在她的朋友们的帮助下,花园日复一日地再次变得美丽。
根据前文“With the help of her friends, the garden became beautiful again”,可知花园的恢复是渐进的过程,因此填day by day“一天天地”。hand in hand“手拉手”修饰人的动作;step by step“一步步地”通常形容人的行为;one by one“一个接一个地”修饰可数名词,均无法描述花园的变化,不合语境。
31.B 32.A 33.C 34.B 35.A
本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了两个来自不同国家的“超级英雄”的故事:精卫填海和鲁滨逊漂流记,展示了他们为实现目标所展现的坚持不懈的精神。
31.根据文章内容,两个故事的主角分别是精卫(Jingwei)和鲁滨逊(Robinson Crusoe),他们都为各自的目标努力奋斗,是文中所说的“超级英雄”。
32.根据精卫填海部分“She cried sadly in the sound ‘Jingwei, Jingwei’. That was why people called her ‘Jingwei’.”可知,人们叫她精卫是因为她悲伤地叫着“精卫,精卫”的声音。
33.根据鲁滨逊漂流记部分“He used the knife to cut down trees and built a house.”可知,他用刀砍树来建造房子。
34.根据精卫填海部分“she decided to fill up the sea... carrying stones or branches from the mountain”可知,精卫决定用石头和树枝填海,B正确。
35.两个故事都展现了主人公面对巨大困难永不放弃的精神:精卫即使要花上千年也要填海,鲁滨逊在荒岛上坚持多年最终获救。因此两个故事告诉人们应该永不放弃来实现目标。
36.B 37.C 38.A 39.B 40.A
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了刘璐正在读《后羿射日》的故事,并计划在下周一的讲故事俱乐部分享她的读书报告,文中还介绍了故事内容和刘璐的读后感。
36.文章第一段第三句“She wants to write a report on the story and share it in the storytelling club next Monday.”指出,她将在下周一分享报告。
37.文章“From: Chinese Fairy Tales”部分明确指出,这个故事来自《中国神话故事》。
38.文章“About the tale”部分中“Hou Yi shot down nine suns”指出,后羿射下了九个太阳。图片A为后羿形象。
39.文章“About the tale”部分中“sometimes all ten suns set out at the same time”指出,有时十个太阳同时出现在天空。
40.文章“Review”部分最后一句“I hope it can be longer.”指出,刘璐希望故事更长一些,说明她觉得故事有点短。
41.B 42.C 43.A 44.D 45.A
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了孩子们为了帮助一位俄国避难者寻找家人,写信给一位老绅士,最终在老绅士的帮助下成功找到其家人的故事。
41.第一段提到:“Roberta wanted to know if the old gentleman could help the Russian find his family. So the children wrote to the old gentleman.” 说明孩子们写信的目的是帮助那位俄国人找到家人。
42.根据文中老绅士的话:“I know that name. I’ve read his book.” 可知,他是因为读过Mr. Szczepansky写的书而知道这个人。
43.结合上下文,孩子们与老绅士一起喝茶、吃面包黄油,氛围愉快,因此“delightful”应意为“愉快的”,与cheerful意思相近。
44.正确顺序为:①俄国人写了一本书 → ③孩子们写信给老绅士 → ④孩子们向老绅士介绍自己 → ②俄国人的家人被找到。因此答案为①③④②。
45.故事围绕孩子们帮助俄国人寻找家人展开,最终成功找到,因此“Family Search”(寻找家人)是最佳标题。
