Over the next several years，he took a number of different jobs，from drafting to journalism，and banking，but he was careless with accounting，thus fired by the bank and charged with a crime in 1894.He fled the day before the trial in 1896，first to New Orleans，then to Honduras，where he learned his wife was dying and could not join him，so he returned to Austin and turned himself into the court.His father-in-law helped him out so he could remain with his wife until her death in 1897.Later he was sentenced and served in Federal prison in Ohio from 1898 to 1902. The many twists and turns of O.Henry’s own life，including his travels in Latin America and time spent in prison，clearly inspired his stories’ twists and wordplay.His prolific writing period began in 1902 in New York City，where he wrote many short stories which show his obvious affection for this City and its diversity of people and places.O.Henry’s trademark is his witty，plot-twisting endings，and his warm characterization of the awkward and difficult situations and the creative ways people find to deal with them，which typically features in his work like The Last Leaf，The Gift of the Magi，etc.All of his stories are highly entertaining，whether read for pleasure or studied in classrooms around the world. Unfortunately，O.Henry’s personal tragedy was heavy drinking.He died in 1910 of several diseases.He was a gifted short story writer and left us a rich legacy of great stories to enjoy. 1.What happened to O.Henry in his early life? A.He took up writing as his lifelong profession early on. B.He had a pretty good command of Spanish and German. C.He engaged himself with numerous jobs to experience life. D.He failed to live a stable life and switched jobs for a living. √ 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like many other writers，O.Henry’s early career aims were unfocused and he wandered across different activities and professions before he finally found his calling as a short story writer.”以及第二、三段对他的生活的描写可知，他早期生活不稳定，换了很多工作来维持生计，故选D。 解析 2.What does the underlined word “prolific” in paragraph 4 mean? A.Relevant. B.Productive. C.Profitable. D.Original. 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，他的写作时期始于1902年的纽约市，在那里他写了很多短篇小说，所以prolific意为“多产的”，故选B。 解析 √ 3.Which of the following words can best describe O.Henry’s works? A.Educational and tragic. B.Unpredictable and serious. C.Fascinating and twisty. D.Extraordinary and formal. 推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句可知，欧·亨利的作品特点是诙谐、情节曲折的结局，并且他写的故事都极具娱乐性，故选C。 解析 √ 4.What does O.Henry’s life story convey? A.More haste，less speed. B.Time and tide wait for no man. C.He who laughs last laughs best. D.Suffering is a stepping stone to genius. √ 推理判断题。通读全文可知，欧·亨利一生经历坎坷，他早期职业目标并不明确，在不同的活动和职业中徘徊，生活曲折，甚至还有入狱的经历，但这些经历激发了他的写作灵感，使他成为一位极具天赋的短篇小说家，所以他的人生故事传达了“苦难对于天才是一块垫脚石”的观点，故选D。 解析 B (2025·河北石家庄高二上期中) One of the winners of Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2022 was Danish scientist Morten Meldal.When describing his career，Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要说明了一项研究发现，许多诺贝尔奖获得者都是博学多才的人，他们有广泛的兴趣爱好，而这对创造力非常重要。 Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students.They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful.But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case. Michele Root-Bernstein and Robert Root-Bernstein (her husband) published their study in the Creativity Research Journal.They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as “polymaths”. The writers looked at past Nobel Prize winners and their students.They decided that when students of winners go on to win Nobel Prizes，some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests.They are，in a way，learning how to be creative. Having many interests，the Root-Bernsteins wrote，permits scientists to look for creative ways to solve problems.In fact，one important part of science is not discovering answers，but recognizing problems that need to be solved. The prize winners，the Root-Bernsteins said，transfer “skills，techniques and materials from one field to another.” They said Alexis Carrel won his Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1912 by using techniques he learned from the clothing business.He realized that people who used thread to make and fix clothing had a skill that could be used in operations to put new organs into people’s bodies. The Michigan State University professors study creativity.They found Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood，metal or in the arts than most scientists.The researchers say that unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up some of their outside interests，Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity. 5.What comes as a surprise to students according to the passage? A.Meldal’s winning Nobel Prize. B.Meldal’s original working field. C.Meldal’s desire to understand the world. D.Meldal’s study with Michigan State University. √ 推理判断题。根据第一段的“When describing his career，Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he ‘wanted to understand the world.’”和第二段的“Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students.They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful.”可知，学生们可能认为自己必须集中精力于一个领域才能获得成功，但Meldal却不是这样，他最初是工程师，后来才转学化学，他的经历让学生们很吃惊。由此可推测出，学生们感到惊讶的是Meldal最初的工作领域。故选B。 解析 6.What kind of people can be sorted as “polymaths”？ A.People who are equipped with various interests. B.People who are dedicated to one certain field. C.People who are committed lifelong to their career. D.People who are admired for established achievements. √ 推理判断题。根据第三段的“They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as ‘polymaths’.”和第四段的“They decided that when students of winners go on to win Nobel Prizes，some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests.”可推知，有各种各样兴趣爱好的人可以被归类为“博学的人”。故选A。 解析 7.What’s the author’s attitude towards the Root-Bernsteins’ discovery? A.Subjective. B.Doubtful. C.Objective. D.Opposed. 观点态度题。根据第五段的“Having many interests，the Root-Bernsteins wrote，permits scientists to look for creative ways to solve problems.”和第六段的“The prize winners，the Root-Bernsteins said，transfer ‘skills，techniques and materials from one field to another.’”可知，本文作者只是转述Root-Bernstein夫妇的发现，因此作者对于Root-Bernstein夫妇的发现持客观态度，故选C。 解析 √ 8.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.A Creative Scientist B.An Amazing Rise to Fame C.A Born Nobel Prize Winner D.A Secret to Winning Top Prize √ 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Michele Root-Bernstein and Robert Root-Bernstein (her husband) published their study in the Creativity Research Journal.They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as ‘polymaths’.”可知，本文主要讲的是研究发现，许多诺贝尔奖获得者是博学多才的人，这可以说是获得诺贝尔奖的秘诀，因此D选项“A Secret to Winning Top Prize”适合作为本文标题，故选D。 解析 (2024·浙江湖州高二上期末) When you have mountains of homework and studying ahead，getting started can seem like an impossible task. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何成功完成作业的建议。 Ⅴ.七选五阅读 A.Break down your work into smaller pieces.
