【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题National Theatre下的“Theatre -its main stage-is a beautiful hall modelled on the ancient Greek theatre of Epidaurus.(剧院——它的主舞台——是一个模仿古希腊埃皮达鲁斯剧院的美丽大厅)”可知,国家大剧院的主舞台是古希腊风格的。故选D项。

Basketball had always been a huge part of my life ever since I was little, and it had been my favorite sport until high school. I was captain of the team in my second year of high school. I felt I had to do very well. The stress I put myself under was unhealthy: I felt as if I couldn't make mistakes, and that stopped me enjoying the game I once loved. I finished my second-year basketball season and had no fun at all.
My Spanish teacher came up to me after my second-year basketball season, asking if I had ever thought about playing Unified (融合的) Basketball. Unified Sports joins people with intellectual or physical disabilities (智力或身体缺陷) (called Athletes), and people without disabilities (called Partners), on the same team. The main goal is to build friendships and encourage inclusivity. I had thought about it before, but there was a rule that said I couldn't play Unified if I played basketball for the school. So, I finally decided to quit (停止) basketball.
Quitting basketball was not easy. I received strong opposition (反对) from my parents and the coaches as well as my friends who were on the team. It was not a popular or traditional decision, but I knew it was the right one for me.
Walking into my first Unified practice, I did not know what to expect. I awkwardly (尴尬地) introduced myself to a few of the Unified Athletes, but after the first day, it already seemed like we were becoming a family. We won a lot of games, but we also had the most fun I've ever had. All the stress I used to feel disappeared when I played with them. Seeing the Athletes score their first points of the season and then dance down the whole court excitedly is one of my favorite basketball memories.
Unified Sports opened my eyes to how much more there is to sports than winning and losing. The Athletes on the team thought that I was there to help them, but they did not know how much they helped me.
4. How did the author find playing basketball in his second year of high school?
A. It did no good to his physical health. B. It took up too much of his free time.
C. It needed some special skills. D. It brought him no pleasure.
5. What did others think of the author's decision to quit basketball?
A. It was unwise. B. It was right for him.
C. It was difficult to make. D. It was too important to rush.
6. How did the author feel after taking up Unified Basketball?
A. Awkward and silly. B. Stressed and bored. C. Safe and confident. D. Relaxed and happy.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. My Love of Basketball B. Unified Sports Changed My Life
C. My Memories of Playing Basketball D. Sports Helped Me Make Lasting Friendships
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者讲述了融合运动对自己的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I was captain of the team in my second year of high school. I felt I had to do very well. The stress I put myself under was unhealthy: I felt as if I couldn't make mistakes, and that stopped me enjoying the game I once loved. I finished my second-year basketball season and had no fun at all.(我在高二的时候是球队的队长。我觉得我必须做得很好。我给自己施加的压力是不健康的:我觉得我不能犯错误,这让我无法享受我曾经喜欢的游戏。我结束了我第二年的篮球赛季,一点乐趣都没有)”可知,作者觉得高二打篮球没有给他带来快乐。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Quitting basketball was not easy. I received strong opposition (反对) from my parents and the coaches as well as my friends who were on the team.(放弃篮球并不容易。我遭到了父母、教练和我在队里的朋友的强烈反对)”可知,大家觉得他的决定不明智。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“We won a lot of games, but we also had the most fun I've ever had. All the stress I used to feel disappeared when I played with them. Seeing the Athletes score their first points of the season and then dance down the whole court excitedly is one of my favorite basketball memories.(我们赢了很多比赛,但我们也有我有过的最有趣的。当我和他们一起玩的时候,我曾经感到的所有压力都消失了。看到运动员们拿到赛季的第一分,然后兴奋地在整个球场跳舞,这是我最喜欢的篮球记忆之一)”可知,作者接触融合篮球运动后,赢得了许多比赛,感受到从未有过的快乐,也不再觉得有压力了。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段讲述了从小酷爱篮球运动的作者在高中时发现打篮球不能给自己带来快乐;第二、三段讲述了作者决定放弃篮球运动开始接触融合篮球运动;第四、五段讲述了融合篮球运动对作者的影响。由此可知,B项“融合运动改变了我的生活”符合本文的主旨,作为文章的标题最为合适。故选B。
C
When I was 16, I wrote a short story about my early childhood for my English class. I wrote about my relationships with my mom and with my brothers. Only I didn’t write about the good parts. I focused on when my older brother pushed my little brother and me around and how my mom didn’t stop it. At that moment, I thought I was great.
I ran to my mom and asked her to read my paper. It was after dinner. That day had been stressful for her. Still, she read my paper.
She wasn’t thrilled (极为激动) with me. I had described her as an incompetent (不称职的) parent. As her eyes ran over the worst part, she shook her head in disbelief. She had been working at the time, so hard, for my brothers and me. She had no time back then to spend with us because she spent nearly every moment working for us. So, when she read about herself as somehow being incompetent, she didn’t have the words to express how much I’d hurt her. So she walked out of the dining room.
I felt misunderstood but mostly terrible. Finally, she came back to the room and broke the silence: “You have no idea. NO IDEA!”
My mom spoke about how hard she had been working for me at the time. When she finished and walked away again, I felt wronged and misunderstood. I shouted out how she’d misinterpreted (曲解) my story. I never meant to hurt her. I only wanted to show how far our relationship had come. Finally, she came back again and listened. Her eyes were full of regret.
Then we were crying together, apologizing for everything we’d said. We had misunderstood each other, but because we were both willing to apologize and have an honest and open discussion, what followed was a beautiful moment. I felt like I could finally see my mother as a human being — beyond just being my mom. And I became a better son because of it.
8. What did the author write about for English class?
A. The work he once did. B. His brother’s funny act.
C. Happy moments in his childhood. D. Relationships among his family members.
9. How did the author’s mom feel about his story at first?
A. Happy and satisfied. B. Surprised and sad.
C. Peaceful and touched. D. Frightened and worried.
10. What did the author’s mom do after she came back for the first time?
A. She praised his story. B. She kept on being quiet.
C. She told him how hard she’d worked. D. She showed her understanding at once.
11. What was the cause of this event?
A. The author and his mother misunderstanding each other.
B. The author and his mother being too proud to apologize.
C. The author’s mother putting the author under too much pressure.
D. The author’s mother loving the author’s brothers more than him.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者和母亲因为误会而发生不愉快。之后,他们通过真诚的沟通消除了误会,他们之间的感情也变得更加深厚了。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was 16, I wrote a short story about my early childhood for my English class. I wrote about my relationships with my mom and with my brothers.(当我16岁的时候,我为我的英语课写了一个关于我童年的小故事。我写了我和妈妈、兄弟们的关系)”可知,作者写了一则反映他家庭关系的故事。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As her eyes ran over the worst part, she shook her head in disbelief. She had been working at the time, so hard, for my brothers and me. She had no time back then to spend with us because she spent nearly every moment working for us. So, when she read about herself as somehow being incompetent, she didn’t have the words to express how much I’d hurt her.(当她的眼睛掠过最糟糕的部分时,她难以置信地摇了摇头。她当时一直在为我和我的兄弟们辛勤工作。那时她没有时间和我们在一起,因为她几乎每时每刻都在为我们工作。所以,当她读到关于自己无能的文章时,她无法表达我对她的伤害有多深)”以及第四段“Finally, she came back to the room and broke the silence: “You have no idea. NO IDEA!”(最后,她回到房间,打破了沉默:“你不知道。不知道!”)”可知,作者的母亲读了他的故事后,感到很震惊,也很难过。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“My mom spoke about how hard she had been working for me at the time.(我妈妈谈到了她当时为我工作有多辛苦)”可知,当作者的母亲返回餐厅后,她告诉了作者自己的工作有多么不容易。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据上文作者的母亲看到作者将自己描写成一个不称职的妈妈从而认为作者不理解自己的描写,第五段“I never meant to hurt her. I only wanted to show how far our relationship had come.(我从没想过要伤害她。我只是想展示一下我们的关系已经发展到什么程度了)”以及最后一段“We had misunderstood each other, but because we were both willing to apologize and have an honest and open discussion, what followed was a beautiful moment.(我们彼此都误解了对方,但因为我们都愿意道歉,并进行坦诚开放的讨论,所以接下来是一个美好的时刻)”可知,母子之间的误解造成了他们此次的冲突。故选A。
D
When it’s raining very heavily we say it’s “raining cats and dogs.” You might even enjoy taking a break from the heat during the “dog days” of the year. Today, many dog-related idioms (习语) are commonplace, but have you ever wondered about the stories behind the sayings?
“A dog’s breakfast” is an idiom used to describe a total mess. Believe it or not, this one is thought to come from bad cooking. If a dish is cooked so badly that no person would eat it, it would be given to the dog. The saying is now used to describe anything that ends poorly. Interestingly, for unknown reasons “a dog’s dinner” came to mean “one who is dressed in an improper way.”
People may say that you are “barking (吠) up the wrong tree” when you are dealing with something in the wrong way. This idiom dates back to the practice of hunting (打猎) with dogs. The dogs often ran after animals into trees, where their owners could easily find them. If a dog followed the wrong smell, however, they might find themselves barking at a tree that held nothing.
Many people even describe the weather by using the image of dogs. The “dog days” are the hottest days of the year. The saying, however, dates back to the ancient Romans. It was the Romans who first noticed that the hottest days of the summer seemed to coincide (同时发生) with the appearance of Sirius, the so-called “dog star” and a part of the Canis Major (“big dog”) constellation (星座). But even the coldest nights have interesting idioms and the history to go with them. One Australian idiom describes the practice of sleeping alongside a dog for warmth during cold evenings. A very cold night might need more than one dog, so it is a “three-dog night.”
Dog-related idioms are a part of many people’s everyday language. Digging up the stories of idioms can be difficult, but they often have a rich and interesting history behind them.
12. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To explain the main idea of the text. B. To bring up the topic of the text.
C. To show interesting research. D. To add related examples.
13. Which idiom is related to the activity of hunting?
A. Dog days. B. A dog’s dinner. C. A dog’s breakfast. D. Bark up the wrong tree.
14. What can we say about “three-dog night”?
A. It has a completely different meaning in Roman culture.
B. It can be used to describe extremely cold temperatures.
C. It presents the appearance of Sirius in summer.
D. It shows people’s love for dogs.
15. Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
A. B.
C. D.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个与狗相关的英语习语及其背后的故事。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When it’s raining very heavily we say it’s “raining cats and dogs.” You might even enjoy taking a break from the heat during the “dog days” of the year. Today, many dog-related idioms (习语) are commonplace, but have you ever wondered about the stories behind the sayings?(当雨下得很大时,我们说“raining cats and dogs”。你甚至可能喜欢在一年中“三伏天”的炎热中休息一下。如今,许多与狗有关的习语已经司空见惯,但你有没有想过这些习语背后的故事?)”可知,本段首先举例介绍了两个我们日常生活中常用的与狗相关的习语,紧接着提出一个问题——对这些习语背后的故事我们有没有过好奇之心?这个问题起到了承上启下的作用,引出了下文对与狗相关的习语背后故事的介绍。因此,本段的作用是引出本文主题。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“People may say that you are “barking (吠) up the wrong tree” when you are dealing with something in the wrong way. This idiom dates back to the practice of hunting (打猎) with dogs.(当你用错误的方式处理某事时,人们可能会说你“找错了对象”。这个成语可以追溯到带狗打猎的习俗)”可知,习语“bark up the wrong tree”起源于人们带狗打猎的活动。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One Australian idiom describes the practice of sleeping alongside a dog for warmth during cold evenings. A very cold night might need more than one dog, so it is a “three dog night.”(一个澳大利亚成语描述了在寒冷的夜晚和狗睡在一起取暖的做法。一个非常寒冷的夜晚可能需要不止一只狗,所以这是一个“三狗之夜(一个非常寒冷的夜晚)”)”可知,习语“three-dog night”在澳大利亚文化中可以用来描述非常寒冷的夜晚。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通过阅读全文可知,作者在首段引出话题,接着在第二至第四段分别具体介绍了“a dog’s breakfast”、“a dog’s dinner”、“bark up the wrong tree”、“dog days”以及“three dog night”等习语背后的故事与历史,在最后一段总结全文。文章结构清晰,为“总—分—总”结构,第二、第三、第四段为并列关系,故选C。

Basketball had always been a huge part of my life ever since I was little, and it had been my favorite sport until high school. I was captain of the team in my second year of high school. I felt I had to do very well. The stress I put myself under was unhealthy: I felt as if I couldn't make mistakes, and that stopped me enjoying the game I once loved. I finished my second-year basketball season and had no fun at all.
My Spanish teacher came up to me after my second-year basketball season, asking if I had ever thought about playing Unified (融合的) Basketball. Unified Sports joins people with intellectual or physical disabilities (智力或身体缺陷) (called Athletes), and people without disabilities (called Partners), on the same team. The main goal is to build friendships and encourage inclusivity. I had thought about it before, but there was a rule that said I couldn't play Unified if I played basketball for the school. So, I finally decided to quit (停止) basketball.
Quitting basketball was not easy. I received strong opposition (反对) from my parents and the coaches as well as my friends who were on the team. It was not a popular or traditional decision, but I knew it was the right one for me.
Walking into my first Unified practice, I did not know what to expect. I awkwardly (尴尬地) introduced myself to a few of the Unified Athletes, but after the first day, it already seemed like we were becoming a family. We won a lot of games, but we also had the most fun I've ever had. All the stress I used to feel disappeared when I played with them. Seeing the Athletes score their first points of the season and then dance down the whole court excitedly is one of my favorite basketball memories.
Unified Sports opened my eyes to how much more there is to sports than winning and losing. The Athletes on the team thought that I was there to help them, but they did not know how much they helped me.

5. What did others think of the author's decision to quit basketball?

C. It was difficult to make. D. It was too important to rush.
6. How did the author feel after taking up Unified Basketball?
A. Awkward and silly. B. Stressed and bored. C. Safe and confident. D. Relaxed and happy.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. My Love of Basketball B. Unified Sports Changed My Life
C. My Memories of Playing Basketball D. Sports Helped Me Make Lasting Friendships
C
When I was 16, I wrote a short story about my early childhood for my English class. I wrote about my relationships with my mom and with my brothers. Only I didn’t write about the good parts. I focused on when my older brother pushed my little brother and me around and how my mom didn’t stop it. At that moment, I thought I was great.
I ran to my mom and asked her to read my paper. It was after dinner. That day had been stressful for her. Still, she read my paper.
She wasn’t thrilled (极为激动) with me. I had described her as an incompetent (不称职的) parent. As her eyes ran over the worst part, she shook her head in disbelief. She had been working at the time, so hard, for my brothers and me. She had no time back then to spend with us because she spent nearly every moment working for us. So, when she read about herself as somehow being incompetent, she didn’t have the words to express how much I’d hurt her. So she walked out of the dining room.
I felt misunderstood but mostly terrible. Finally, she came back to the room and broke the silence: “You have no idea. NO IDEA!”
My mom spoke about how hard she had been working for me at the time. When she finished and walked away again, I felt wronged and misunderstood. I shouted out how she’d misinterpreted (曲解) my story. I never meant to hurt her. I only wanted to show how far our relationship had come. Finally, she came back again and listened. Her eyes were full of regret.
Then we were crying together, apologizing for everything we’d said. We had misunderstood each other, but because we were both willing to apologize and have an honest and open discussion, what followed was a beautiful moment. I felt like I could finally see my mother as a human being — beyond just being my mom. And I became a better son because of it.

When it’s raining very heavily we say it’s “raining cats and dogs.” You might even enjoy taking a break from the heat during the “dog days” of the year. Today, many dog-related idioms (习语) are commonplace, but have you ever wondered about the stories behind the sayings?
“A dog’s breakfast” is an idiom used to describe a total mess. Believe it or not, this one is thought to come from bad cooking. If a dish is cooked so badly that no person would eat it, it would be given to the dog. The saying is now used to describe anything that ends poorly. Interestingly, for unknown reasons “a dog’s dinner” came to mean “one who is dressed in an improper way.”
People may say that you are “barking (吠) up the wrong tree” when you are dealing with something in the wrong way. This idiom dates back to the practice of hunting (打猎) with dogs. The dogs often ran after animals into trees, where their owners could easily find them. If a dog followed the wrong smell, however, they might find themselves barking at a tree that held nothing.
Many people even describe the weather by using the image of dogs. The “dog days” are the hottest days of the year. The saying, however, dates back to the ancient Romans. It was the Romans who first noticed that the hottest days of the summer seemed to coincide (同时发生) with the appearance of Sirius, the so-called “dog star” and a part of the Canis Major (“big dog”) constellation (星座). But even the coldest nights have interesting idioms and the history to go with them. One Australian idiom describes the practice of sleeping alongside a dog for warmth during cold evenings. A very cold night might need more than one dog, so it is a “three-dog night.”
Dog-related idioms are a part of many people’s everyday language. Digging up the stories of idioms can be difficult, but they often have a rich and interesting history behind them.
12. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To explain the main idea of the text. B. To bring up the topic of the text.
C. To show interesting research. D. To add related examples.
13. Which idiom is related to the activity of hunting?
A. Dog days. B. A dog’s dinner. C. A dog’s breakfast. D. Bark up the wrong tree.
14. What can we say about “three-dog night”?
A. It has a completely different meaning in Roman culture.
B. It can be used to describe extremely cold temperatures.
C. It presents the appearance of Sirius in summer.
D. It shows people’s love for dogs.
15. Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
A. B.
C. D.
