2026年高考英语外刊精练 改变我人生的圣诞礼物 It was eight o’clock on Christmas morning. My father insisted on turning on the radio for the news, which struck my 11yearold self as completely unreasonable. Wrapped presents lay waiting to be opened, and I could not understand why any adult would prioritize news updates over holiday giftopening. Halfattentive to the broadcast, I soon sensed something odd: the newsreader was repeating a Christmas message we had heard days earlier. It was my elder brother Colin who worked out the trick. “Pete, it is the tape recorder — our very own tape recorder!” Only then did it dawn upon me that the news I heard was not a live broadcast but a prerecorded tape my father had prepared in advance. Genuine, great joy brought by a single gift seldom comes along in childhood, yet this moment burned itself into my memory. Both Colin and I had been born without sight. At our boarding school, to own a personal tape recorder represented the height of desire for every blind student. Realistic about the strain on household finance, however, Colin had never allowed himself to expect such an expensive treasure. Much later in life, I learned that the device cost more than four times my father’s weekly earnings. Roughly the size of a small suitcase, the recorder dominated our Christmas holiday. Once we had grasped its complex set of controls, we recorded almost everything around us. Comparable to sighted children catching their own reflection in a mirror, the machine offered us an unprecedented chance to perceive ourselves as individuals existing beyond our inner consciousness. The experience felt equally thrilling and awkward. Upon returning to boarding school, I wandered campus with the microphone, documenting my inner thoughts in imitation of professional radio hosts. A decade afterwards, I walked into a local radio station, determined to pursue broadcast journalism as my lifelong profession. Twentyfive years from that memorable Christmas, I delivered my first live report for BBC TV’s Six O’ Clock News — a regular programme my father had faithfully followed throughout his life. Though he had passed away more than ten years previously, I choose to believe he somehow witnessed how that costly Christmas gift altered the course of my whole life. 全文 392词. 一、阅读理解 1.Why did father play the socalled “news” on Christmas morning?

For me, a simple taperecorder stands out as the most meaningful gift in my life. 1 As two boys born blind, my brother Colin and I lived in a boarding school. 2 But considering our family’s tight budget, Colin never dared to wish for such an expensive machine. We had no idea Dad had saved up for it. On Christmas morning, Dad pretended to listen to news on the radio. 3 Soon my brother found out it was not live news but a prerecorded tape. That was how we got our longawaited taperecorder. We spent the whole holiday experimenting with our new device. 4 Just like seeing kids looking into a mirror, we could hear our own voices and get to know who we really were. Decades have passed since that Christmas. That old machine opened a door for my future career. 5 I always believe my father would feel proud of me. A. We recorded whatever we could around us. B. It cost more than four times Dad’s weekly pay. C. Owning a personal recorder was our biggest wish. D. It turned out to be a lifechanging surprise for me. E. I finally became a TV news reporter for BBC many years later. F. We enjoyed various wonderful presents during every Christmas. G. Yet the broadcast contained content we had heard several days before. 3、 阅读表达 1.Why didn’t Colin expect to get a taperecorder as a Christmas gift? 2.What special value did the taperecorder bring to the two blind boys? 4、 读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Pete and his elder brother Colin were both born blind and lived most of their childhood in a boardingschool. Away from their parents for most of the year, they treasured every moment spent with their family during holidays. For all blind students there, a personal taperecorder was a luxury beyond reach. It represented a chance to hear their own voices and record the world around them. One unforgettable Christmas morning, something strange happened. Their father turned on the radio and pretended to listen to news. Soon the boys realized the broadcast was not live. It was a prerecorded tape, a clever setup for a surprise gift — a brandnew taperecorder roughly the size of a small suitcase. Later Pete learned it cost more than four times his father’s weekly earnings, putting a heavy financial strain on the already poor family. During the Christmas break, the two boys devoted most of their spare time to the device. They recorded wind blowing through trees, household noises and their own voices. Hearing themselves played back felt thrilling yet awkward, just like sighted children seeing their reflection in a mirror. When the joyful holiday was drawing to a close, Pete felt reluctant to head back to school. He held the heavy recorder in his arms, reluctant to leave behind such a precious gift and the warm time with his family. Paragraph 1：Upon arriving back at boarding school, Pete took his taperecorder everywhere. Paragraph 2：Decades later, standing in the BBC news studio, Pete thought back to that Christmas morning. 2026年高考英语外刊精练 参考答案 一、阅读理解 1.B 解析：父亲播放预录好的新闻，是为了用这种巧妙方式给兄弟俩送出录音机这份惊喜。 2.B 解析：推理判断题。由第三段 Realistic about the strain on household finance 可推知，Colin 十分清楚家里的经济压力。 3.A 解析：录音机就像镜子之于视力正常孩子，让盲童从全新角度建立自我认知。 4.C 解析：全文主线：一份昂贵圣诞礼物，改变了作者人生道路。 二、七选五 1.D  承接上文，点明这份礼物对 “我” 人生的改变。 2.C  后句转折说不敢奢望，对应 “拥有录音机是我们最大愿望”。 3.G  和后文发现不是直播呼应：广播内容是几天前听过的。 4.A 后一句讲录音带来的体验，本句写我们录制身边一切事物。 5.E 承接上文，多年后我成为 BBC 新闻记者。 三、阅读表达 1.He knew their family was under financial pressure. 解析：细节概括题。定位文章第 3 段，Colin 清楚家庭经济拮据，不敢奢望这件贵重礼物。要求概括转述，不可直接摘抄大段原文。 2.It offered them a new way to build selfawareness. 解析：深层理解题。定位第 4 段，录音机给两个失明男孩提供了全新角度去认识自我。 四、读后续写 Paragraph 1：Upon arriving back at boarding school, Pete took his taperecorder everywhere. Wherever he went on campus, the microphone stayed by his side. In his spare time, he recorded his inner feelings and practiced speaking, imitating the broadcasting style of professional hosts. Some of his classmates would gather around, listening with curiosity and offering encouragement. Gradually, a firm dream took shape deep inside him. He hoped he could become a broadcast journalist and share stories with countless listeners in the future. Paragraph 2：Decades later, standing in the BBC news studio, Pete thought back to that Christmas morning. He could still recall the excitement of unwrapping the precious recorder and the great sacrifice his father had made. Even though his father had passed away years before, Pete could always feel the quiet love hidden behind that costly gift. It was this very device that opened the door to his lifelong career. For Pete, it was never merely a machine, but the source of his dream and endless spiritual strength. 总 结 单词短语 fathom v. 理解，弄懂 strain n. 压力，负担 luxury n. 奢侈品 unprecedented adj. 前所未有的 perceive v. 感知，认识 thrilling adj. 令人激动的 alter v. 改变 burn itself into memory 深深烙印在记忆中 it dawn upon sb that 某人逐渐明白 in imitation of 模仿 参考译文 圣诞节早上八点钟。父亲执意打开收音机收听新闻，这在十一岁的我看来完全不合情理。包装好的礼物等着被拆开，我无法理解为什么有成年人会优先看新闻，而不是节日拆礼物。我半听着广播，很快察觉到不对劲：播音员正在重复几天前我们听过的一条圣诞贺词。 是哥哥科林识破了这个小把戏。“皮特，是录音机 —— 属于我们自己的录音机！” 直到这时我才恍然大悟，我听到的新闻并不是直播，而是父亲提前录好的一盘磁带。 童年时期，一件礼物就能带来如此真切、巨大的快乐并不常见，但这一刻深深烙印在了我的记忆中。我和哥哥科林生来失明。在寄宿学校，拥有一台私人录音机是每一位失明学生最大的渴望。可科林很清楚家里经济紧张，所以从未奢望过这样一件昂贵的宝贝。很久以后我才得知，这台设备的价格超过了父亲一周工资的四倍。 这台录音机大小近似一个小行李箱，成了我们整个圣诞节假期的重心。我们弄懂它复杂的操作按键后，几乎把周围的一切都录了下来。就像视力正常的孩子照镜子看见自己的模样，这台机器给了我们前所未有的机会，让我们跳出内心的主观感受，认识作为独立个体的自己。这种体验既令人激动，又让人局促不安。 回到寄宿学校后，我拿着麦克风在校园里四处走动，模仿专业电台主持人，记录下自己内心的想法。十年之后，我走进当地一家广播电台，决心把新闻广播当作自己毕生的事业。那个难忘的圣诞节过去二十五年后，我在英国广播公司（BBC）的《六点新闻》完成了自己的首次直播报道 —— 父亲生前一直忠实收看这个节目。尽管他十多年前就已经离世，但我宁愿相信，他以某种方式见证了那份昂贵的圣诞礼物如何改变了我的整个人生轨迹。 英语试题第 1 页（共 4 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
