参考答案 一、阅读练习 1.D 解析 定位：文章第三段提到'I have had classes whose levels have been so low that I have cried."(我教过的班级水平很低，低到让 我哭泣)以及老师对学生的担忧"How am I going to take this group.from where they are to where they need to be?"(我怎么 能在九个月内把这群孩子从现在的水平带到应有的水平？)。 排除： A项（他们是被选入这个班的）是老师为了鼓励学生而编造的“善意的谎言”，并非事实。 B项（他们是学校最好的学生）与文中描述的“水平低”矛盾。 C项（他们不相信老师的善意谎言）错误，因为文中学生反问"Really?"后，老师肯定回答，学生表现得很兴奋(excitedly), 说明他们相信了并受到了激励。 2.A 解析 定位：文章倒数第三段提到"One day I gave a quiz with20 questions..A student missed 18.I put a+2'on his paper."(一天我进 行了一次20道题的小测验。一个学生错了18道。我在他的卷子上写了个“+2”..)。 计算：总题数20道，错18道，即对2道。正确率=10% 3.B 解析 定位：文中老师解释说："Because you got two right.You didn't miss them all.And when we review this,.aren't you going to do even better??(因为你做对了两道。你并不是全错。当我们复习这些内容时，难道你不会做得更好吗？)。 分析：老师通过关注学生做对的题目(+2)和笑脸，传递了一种成长型思维，意在激励学生，让他看到希望，从而在复 习后取得进步。这并非嘲笑(A)、单纯的满意(C)或奖励优异表现(D,因为学生得了F)。 4.c 解析 定位：最后一段定义了“champion'':"Every child deserves a champion,an adult who will never give up on them,who understands the power of connection,and who insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.."(每个孩子都需要一个拥护者， 个永不放弃他们、理解人际连接力量、并坚持让他们做到最好的成年人)。 分析：根据定义，champion在这里指支持者、捍卫者，即理解并支持学生的老师。A项（只关心好学生的老师）与文意 相反；B项（老师树立的榜样）主语是老师，而文中champion是支持学生的人；D项（能激励他人的优等生）与adult'” 不符。 二、词汇练习 I.Complete each sentence with the proper form of a given word. 1.group 句意：学生们组成了一个小组来完成这个项目。 解析：form a group(组成一个小组)是固定搭配。 2.discussed 句意：他们在达成决定前讨论了这个计划好几个小时。 解析：根据时间状语"Just last month"和句意，动词需用一般过去时。 3.insisted 句意：尽管有挑战，她的父母仍坚持让她出国留学。 解析：insist on doing sth.(坚持做某事)，句子时态为一般过去时。 4.1ow 句意：一夜之间的最低气温是零下10摄氏度。 解析：此处需要形容词修饰temperature,low符合语境。 5.possibly 句意：这可能是我们在目前情况下能找到的最好的解决方案。 解析：此处需要副词修饰整个句子，possibly(可能地)符合语境。 II.Complete the passage 1.c 解析：本题考查名词辨析及上下文线索。前文提到"our English teacher announced a comprehensive English'"(英语老师宣布 了一次全面的英语..)，后文提到"When the day of the quiz arrived'"(当测验那天到来时)，属于原词复现。且文章第 一部分的阅读理解中也出现了"quiz"这个词。四个选项中，quz(小测验)最符合学校日常学习的语境。 2.D 解析：本题考查形容词辨析及逻辑推理。根据后文"I realized that if I wanted to do well,I couldn't afford to be lazy"(我意识 到如果想考好，我不能偷懒)，这说明任务看起来具有挑战性，因此选difficult(困难的)。其他选项easy-going(随和 的)、effortless(不费力的)、straightforward(简单的)均与后文逻辑矛盾。 3.C 解析：本题考查动词搭配。句意为我决定在英语学习上比以往任何时候都更多的时间”。固定搭配是spend time on sth. (在某事上花费时间)。其他选项：kill time(消磨时间)、save time(节省时间)、waste time(浪费时间)均不符合语 境。 4.C 解析：本题考查动词辨析及固定搭配。句意为“通过这些交流，我不仅从同伴那里了很多，还提高了英语沟通能力”。 固定搭配是learn from sb.（向某人学习)。其他选项：educated(教育，通常用于teach/educated sb.)、informed(通知)、 taught(教，是teach的过去式)均不符合此处主语T'的动作逻辑。 5.A 解析：本题考查名词辨析及文章主题呼应。句意为“但我想到了那些通过坚持不懈成为各自领域的人”。根据文章标 题"Every Kid Needs a Champion'"以及主题，这里指成为佼佼者”或“冠军”。其他选项：followers(追随者)、losers(失 败者)、pioneers（先驱)虽然语义尚可，但champions与文章主旨最为贴切。 6.A 解析：本题考查名词辨析及固定搭配。句意为‘我提醒自己，我有克服这些障碍'。固定搭配是have the ability to do sth, (有能力做某事)。其他选项：motivation(动机)、opportunity(机会)、patience(耐心)，虽然都是积极词汇，但只 有ability能直接与“克服障碍搭配。 7.D 解析：本题考查动词辨析。句意为“我开始每天早上早起半小时，前一天学的内容”。根据学习策略，早起通常是为 了复习(review)。其他选项：observe(观察)、overlook(忽略)、preview(预习)。虽然preview也有道理，但结合 前文提到的"review this'"(复习)，此处选review更符合上下文逻辑。 8.B 解析：本题考查动词辨析及固定搭配。句意为我的努力为我了一个满意的成绩'。这里表示“带来”某种结果，用brig。 固定搭配：bring sb.sth.。其他选项：carried(携带)、fetched(取来)、took(带走)，均不如brought符合“努力带来回 报的语境。 9.C 解析：本题考查形容词辨析。句意为“这次经历是真正的，因为它教会了我只要有决心.”。根据后文的解释，这 次经历很有意义，因此选significant(重要的，有意义的)。其他选项：grateful（感激的，通常修饰人)、meaningless （无意义的)、subjective（主观的)均不符合语境。 10D 解析：本题考查介词辨析及逻辑关系。句意为“某学科的天赋，持续的努力也能带来显著的进步”。这里表达的是“即 使没有天赋”，用without。其他选项：beyond(超出)、except(除了)、despite(虽然，尽管)。Despite是介词，后面 不能直接跟a natural gift(除非用despite the fact that.),而without在语法和语义上都最通顺。 外刊阅读搞定高考英语必备基本词汇01 Every Kid Needs a Champion 主题：人与自我（生活与学习） I have spent my entire life teaching.There are many reasons why kids struggle to learn,and for the most part we know why they do.But one of the reasons that we rarely discuss is the value and importance of human connection—relationships. No significant learning can occur without a significant relationship.George Washington says all learning is to understand relationships.Everyone has been affected by a teacher or an adult. I have had classes whose levels have been so low that I have cried.I wondered,"How am I going to take this group,in nine months,from where they are to where they need to be?And it was difficult.How do I raise their self-esteem and their academic abilities at the same time?” One year I came up with a bright idea.I told my students,"You were chosen to be in my class because I am the best teacher and you are the best students.They put us together so we could show everybody else how to do it.” One of the students said,“Really?” I said,"Really.We have to show other classes how to do it.When we walk down the hall,people will notice us.So you can't make noise."And I gave them a saying:“I was somebody when I came.I'll be a better somebody when I leave."And they said excitedly,“Yeah!” One day I gave a quiz with 20 questions.A student missed 18.I put a“+2”on his paper and a big smiley face.He said,“Ma'am,is this an F?”I said,"Yes." He said,"Then why'd you put a smiley face on it?”I said,"Because you got two right.You didn't miss them all.And when we review this,aren't you going to do even better?”He said,“Yes,I will do better.” Teaching and learning should bring joy.How powerful would our world be if we had kids who were not afraid to take risks and who had a champion?Every child deserves a champion,an adult who will never give up on them,who understands the power of connection,and who insists that they become the best that they can possibly be. 一、阅读练习 1.What can we learn about the students mentioned in this passage?
