题组快练(八)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。2018年琳恩在儿子詹姆斯牺牲后捐赠了他的器官,其心脏救了迈克。二人通过书信等方式互动,迈克在2019年骑行1,430英里至詹姆斯墓前致谢,二人因爱与希望相连。
1. 答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。第二段中的“Six years of treatment and exercise paid off. To celebrate his sixth year without cancer, Mike decided to ride his bike to New York.”在说迈克身体变好了;“Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and one evening in 2017, he started having chest pains.”中的转折副词和pains暗示身体变差。故推断deteriorated应意为“恶化,下降”,与 A项“Declined(衰退,恶化)” 一致。
2. 答案 D
解析 段落大意题。 第四段分析:“Of the four letters Lynn had sent to the recipients, one reached Mike. Lynn described her son’s devotion to his country, the fact that he considered everyone a friend, and his love for scuba diving, snowboarding, and motorcycling.(琳恩讲述自己儿子的情况) These pages painted a picture of just how special his new heart was. Mike carefully composed a response, accurately expressing his gratitude and communicating his desire to stay in touch with James’ family.(迈克回复感谢并希望保持联系) It was a balm for a wound that Lynn felt would never heal.(迈克的回复抚慰琳恩伤口)And so began the emails and texts. She even began following Mike’s Instagram posts.(两人开始互通邮件与信息)”。综上可知,该段围绕琳恩与迈克的互动展开,包括发信、回信及后续的线上关注。
3. 答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段“Then came the tears—not of sorrow, but relief. A part of James lived on, and two strangers connected by loss and hope became family.”可知,迈克骑行1,430英里到詹姆斯墓前,是为了向捐赠心脏的詹姆斯及其家人表达感激。
4. 答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。本文讲述了器官捐赠者的家人和受捐者之间由陌生人变为家人的故事,文章围绕“詹姆斯的心脏在迈克体内跳动,生命以另一种方式延续”展开,“A Great Heart Beats On(一颗伟大的心脏继续跳动)”既指物理上的心脏跳动,也暗指詹姆斯精神的传承,契合主旨。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了48岁的 Beena Kalathiya 免费教村里的老人识字的故事并赞扬了她无私的精神。
5. 答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据文章首段中“Once upon a time in Surat, under the soft glow of a streetlight, a few women sat cross-legged on the ground. Not to chat or pass time, but to learn. They held pencils awkwardly, tracing letters on lined paper, their eyes wide with focus.”可知,作者主要是通过展现几个妇女在路灯下认真学习写字的场景展开叙事的。
6. 答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“With time on her hands and a mind full of purpose, she turned to voluntary service and decided to fill a gap that society had long forgotten. In her words, ‘Many of our elders never had the chance to go to school. Now the world is changing so fast, and they often feel left behind.’”可知,Beena决定填补社会长期忽视的空白。她认为许多长辈从来没有机会上学。现在世界变化如此之快,他们经常感到被遗忘了。
7. 答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中“With time on her hands and a mind full of purpose, she turned to voluntary service and decided to fill a gap that society had long forgotten.”以及第四段中“Beena funds the school herself. By day, she runs a small business with her sisters. Whatever they earn goes straight into buying notebooks, pencils, and chalk.”可知,Beena做的是志愿服务,并且她自己资助学校,因此她是无私且对自己的事业尽心尽力的。
8. 答案 A
解析 推理判断题。文章介绍了48岁的Beena免费教村里的老人识字的故事。在最后一段结尾处“The curiosity and laughter that fill Beena’s classroom each afternoon are proof that it’s never too late to learn.”作者点出学习永远不会太晚,因此“Never too late to begin again.(重新开始永远不会太晚)”符合故事给我们带来的启示。
Ⅱ.七选五
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。 文章针对如何回馈社区提出了四条建议,旨在帮助人们更好地为社区作出贡献。
1. 答案 G
解析 上文提到了做志愿者的益处,即做志愿者不仅给了我们帮助别人的机会,也让我们能够与社区产生联系,与被服务者建立有意义的关系。空后句子提到本文将提供一些建议,帮助你找到自己的热情所在,并参与到社区工作当中。因此推断此处应该与“找到合适的志愿者工作”有关,G项“找到恰当的志愿工作机会是有所作为的第一步”符合语境。
2. 答案 D
解析 根据本段对应的小标题“Explore your interests”和下文中的“finding something that matches your interests”可知,本段主要建议人们“找到自己感兴趣的事”,故D项“思考你的爱好与关心的事业”引出下文,符合语境。
3. 答案 C
解析 空处所在段落对应小标题为“Research local organizations”,即“调查当地的组织”。空前建议人们参加一些活动或会议来更多地了解该机构,故C项“弄清他们在社区做些什么工作”与上文构成递进关系,符合语境。
4. 答案 A
解析 段落主旨句。此空位于小标题处,是对下面段落的高度概括。由“Start with a minor project or event to get a feel for the organization and their mission”可知,本段建议人们可以先从小的项目做起,了解该组织和他们的使命。因此A项“从小事做起”能够概括本段。
5. 答案 F
解析 由小标题可知本段主要建议做志愿者工作要坚持不懈。空前句子“It can help the organization plan and manage their resources”提到了坚持从事志愿服务工作有利于组织计划的制订和资源的管理,空处应是承接上文,继续介绍这样做的益处,故F项“它也能帮助你与你所服务的人之间建立关系”符合语境。选项中的also与上文构成语意递进关系。
Ⅲ. 完形填空
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。McCarty通过网络爱心众筹,帮助沃尔玛高龄收银老人退休安享晚年。

8. 答案 A
解析 见下题解析。
9. 答案 B
解析 根据“I wanted to help get him off his feet for 8 hrs at a time”和“what he would love to do that he may not be able to”以及第一段中的“still having some debt”可知,McCarty想帮Marion从长达8小时的站立中解放出来,让他能够去做他喜欢但却因经济原因而不能去做的事情。
10. 答案 A
解析 根据下一段中的“The TikToker’s video of McCarty’s ... inspired people to donate to the GoFundMe campaign”“Marion finally retired from Walmart”和“with a check for $108,682”可知,几天后,McCarty做到了他想做的事。
11. 答案 B

14. 答案 B
解析 根据“As of writing”和“has raised over $140,000”可知,截至撰写本文时,筹款仍在继续,筹到的钱已经超过14万美元。

2027年高三英语总复习题组快练(八)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Lynn’s world fell apart in 2018. Her son, James, a navy flight surgeon, was fatally injured in a mission and passed away. It was time for Lynn to honour the spirit of a man who had switched from studying commerce engineering to medicine because he wanted to help people. Lynn instructed the hospital to begin the organ donation process. These few words, as hard as they were to say, would soon ripple outward, allowing a man to return to work, a veteran to regain his health, and a cyclist to get back on his bike.
Mike was diagnosed with leukemia in 2004. Six years of treatment and exercise paid off. To celebrate his sixth year without cancer, Mike decided to ride his bike to New York. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and one evening in 2017, he started having chest pains.
That was when a mother’s very worst day became a stranger’s best. James’ heart was beating in the cancer survivor’s chest now. The morning he woke up from the transplant, Mike found himself recharged.
Of the four letters Lynn had sent to the recipients, one reached Mike. Lynn described her son’s devotion to his country, the fact that he considered everyone a friend, and his love for scuba diving, snowboarding, and motorcycling. These pages painted a picture of just how special his new heart was. Mike carefully composed a response, accurately expressing his gratitude and communicating his desire to stay in touch with James’ family. It was a balm (药膏) for a wound that Lynn felt would never heal. And so began the emails and texts. She even began following Mike’s Instagram posts. “Knowing he was doing well really helped,” she says.
During his recovery, Mike had hatched a plan to cycle cross-country again, from the hospital that treated him to James’ grave. When he began the 1,430-mile journey in 2019, Lynn followed anxiously on his Instagram. Despite setbacks—steep climbs, wrong turns, flat tires—Mike pressed on. On November 20, he arrived at James’ grave, where Lynn waited. They hugged. Then came the tears—not of sorrow, but relief. A part of James lived on, and two strangers connected by loss and hope became family.

C. Recovered. D. Stabilized.
2. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. Mother’s love for her son. B. James’ amazing personalities.
C. Mike’s thoughtful response. D. Interaction between Lynn and Mike.
3. Why did Mike cycle cross-country in 2019?
A. To test his physical strength. B. To show his great gratitude.
C. To raise fund for organ donation. D. To pick up his former hobby.
4. What is the best title for the text?
A. Organ Donation Matters
B. A Great Heart Beats On
C. A Cross-country Cyclist Survives
D. Social Media Connects People
Once upon a time in Surat, under the soft glow of a streetlight, a few women sat cross-legged on the ground. Not to chat or pass time, but to learn. They held pencils awkwardly, tracing letters on lined paper, their eyes wide with focus. The unusual classroom was led by 48-year-old Beena Kalathiya, who smiled gently, offering quiet words of encouragement to her students—most of them older than herself.
Beena’s journey into education didn’t begin in a university or a training institute. It began in the heart of her home. Like many women in India, she spent years juggling chores, raising children, and putting her family first. But when her children grew up and moved on, something shifted. With time on her hands and a mind full of purpose, she turned to voluntary service and decided to fill a gap that society had long forgotten. In her words, “Many of our elders never had the chance to go to school. Now the world is changing so fast, and they often feel left behind.”
Determined to change that narrative, Beena started small. Her first classroom was the street itself, lit only by a single streetlight. A few curious women joined her, hesitant at first, but warmed by Beena’s patience and kindness. Slowly, letters turned into words, and words into sentences. Nine years later, what began under a streetlight has blossomed into a full classroom at a local senior citizens’ centre.
With no large non-governmental organization backing her and no sponsorship banners(横幅) in sight, Beena funds the school herself. By day, she runs a small business with her sisters. Whatever they earn goes straight into buying notebooks, pencils, and chalk.
But Beena is giving her students much more than literacy. She is giving them dignity, confidence, and a sense of belonging. The curiosity and laughter that fill Beena’s classroom each afternoon are proof that it’s never too late to learn.
5. How does the author begin the story?
A. By describing a traditional classroom.
B. By introducing the background.
C. By representing an impressive scene.
D. By exposing the poor conditions.
6. What problem did Beena realize?
A. Indian women are often unfairly treated.
B. Indian education is in a desperate situation.
C. Educational resources are limited in villages.
D. Education for the Indian old has been ignored.
7. Which of the following can best describe Beena?
A. Ambitious and grateful. B. Selfless and committed.
C. Creative and confident. D. Responsible and strict.
8. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Never too late to begin again.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Dreams are the reflections of realities.
D. Success favours those with a golden heart.
