超实用高考英语复习阅读理解：善意行动(教师版)

善意行动
距离高考还有一段时间，不少有经验的老师都会提醒考生，愈是临近高考，能否咬紧牙关、学会自我调节，态度是否主动积极，安排是否科学合理，能不能保持良好的心态、以饱满的情绪迎接挑战，其效果往往大不一样。

以下是本人从事10多年教学经验总结出的以下学习资料，希望可以帮助大家提高答题的正确率，希望对你有所帮助，有志者事竟成！
养成良好的答题习惯，是决定高考英语成败的决定性因素之一。

做题前，要认真阅读题目要求、题干和选项，并对答案内容作出合理预测;答题时，切忌跟着感觉走，最好按照题目序号来做，不会的或存在疑问的，要做好标记，要善于发现，找到题目的题眼所在，规范答题，书写工整;答题完毕时，要认真检查，查漏补缺，纠正错误。

总之，在最后的复习阶段，学生们不要加大练习量。

在这个时候，学生要尽快找到适合自己的答题方式，最重要的是以平常心去面对考试。

英语最后的复习要树立信心，考试的时候遇到难题要想“别人也难”，遇到容易的则要想“细心审题”。

越到最后，考生越要回归基础，单词最好再梳理一遍，这样有利于提高阅读理解的效率。

【山西省百校联盟高三下学期开年摸底联考】
Huron, Ohio, was where I’d spent my twenties, working on a steamer out on the Great Lakes. My wife and I started our family there, and later we came back to Huron to retire. Then, during the final stage of construction on our new home, I had difficulty breathing. The doctor determined I needed open-heart surgery. I was admitted to a hospital in Sandusky.
The night before my surgery, I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep. I la y in my hospital bed praying and thinking about the events in my life that had led me to this point. I remembered how I had fallen in love with Huron and its people. I remembered a Christmas many years ago…
The shipping season had been good to me, so that winter I decided to buy some Christmas gifts and help out a family in town. “I know a family that would appreciate a visit from Santa Claus,” the owner of the store said. “A woman with six children just lost her husband.”
The store owner helped me wrap som e presents and gave me the family’s address. That evening I delivered the packages. A little girl with brown eyes and the sweetest smile answered the door. “Santa asked me to bring these gifts to you and your family,” I said.
The girl’s eyes lit up even more. “Tell Santa ‘thank you’ from Dorothy,” she said. I never saw her or her family
again, but all in town helped give Huron a permanent place in my heart. A heart now needed fixing badly.
A nurse came in to check on me. “Where are you from?” the nurse asked. “I’m from Huron,” I told her proudly.
She smiled. “I grew up there,” she said. “I loved it, even though life wasn’t easy. You see, I lost my father when I was just a child.”
I looked into her brown eyes and knew I’d seen them before. “Do you recall a sa ilor bringing presents to your door one Christmas?”
She stared. “That was you!”
“Yes, Dorothy,” I said, suddenly confident about my surgery. “That was me.”

【广东省部分名校2022-2023学年高三上学期阶段性学习效率检测调研】
When 16-year-old Grayden Brunet joined the Sackets Harbor, New York, volunteer fire department in 2017, he was the youngest on the team by 20 years. He was so determined to be following in his dad’s footsteps that he persuaded two classmates, Niklas and Dalton, to sign up too.
A few years later, the older firefighters quit their jobs over COVID-19 concerns. Suddenly, the three teens were not only helping the Sackets Harbor volunteer fire department, they were the Sackets Harbor volunteer fire department. They were the ones responding to the emergency calls of heart attacks, car accidents, and suicides.And they were the ones who were responsible to send COVID-19 patients to hospitals. “We went from not even having our licenses to saving people’s lives,” Dalton told the reporter. As far as the teens were concerned, they couldn’t quit their jobs. If they did, Brunet told North County Public Radio,“The community would lose the emergency operators and the drivers of the ambulance.”
The three of them struggled on alone for a year until help arrived in the form of five more teens, all motivated to serve their neighbors in the town of 1,300 residents.“When they call 911, they’re expecting someone to help them,” says Sophia, who was 16 when she joined.
The job is taxing. One night last fall, the crew responded to two emergency calls and a fire. They got home at 5:30 a.m, just two hours before school started. “It’s definitely hard coming back from the calls and having to take an algebra test, Grayden’s younger brother Gannon said. But these brave teens didn’t mind the hard work. As a matter of fact, when callers m et their rescuers, a lot of them would ask,“Wait, how old are you?” That was what they felt the most priceless moment.
4．Why did Brunet join the Sackets Harbor volunteer fire department?
A．Because his father set up an example for him.
B．Because the community needed the ambulance.
C．Because he was persuaded by Niklas and Dalton.
D．Because the older firefighters finally quit their jobs.
5．Which of the following was NOT the three teens’ responsibility?
A．Responding to a fire. B．Responding to car accidents.
C．Responding to picking up kids. D．Responding to taking patients to hospitals.
6．What does the underlined word “taxing” mean in the last paragraph?
A．Effortless. B．Demanding. C．Enjoying. D．Helpful.
7．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．They worked at the day time. B．They were tired of their work.
C．They could skip school after work. D．They were proud of their young age.
【答案】4．A 5．C 6．B 7．D
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

文章主要讲述了几个青少年志愿加入消防部门，一边完成学业，一边参与各项消防工作，为社区提供了极大的帮助。

4．细节理解题。

根据第一段“He was so determined to be following in his dad’s footsteps that he persuaded two classmates, Niklas and Dalton, to sign up too.(他下定决心要追随父亲的脚步，于是他说服了两位同学，尼可拉斯和道尔顿，也报名参加)”可知，布鲁内加入了萨克特港志愿消防队，因为他的父亲为他树立了榜样，他要效仿自己的父亲。

他们也是负责将COVID-19患者送往医院的人)”可知，他们负责处理车祸及送患者去医院；根据最后一段“One night last fall, the crew responded to two emergency calls and a fire. (去年秋天的一个晚上，消防队的全体成员处理了两次紧急呼叫和一起火灾)”可知，他们加入消防部门，负责处理火灾；所以选项A、B、D都是他们的职责范围。

C项没有提及。

他们早上五点半回到家，离开学只有两个小时了)”可知，他们的工作强度很大，而且要兼顾学业，是费时费力，要求很高的。

由此可知，划线词taxing与demanding(要求高的)意思接近。

故选B。

7．推理判断题。

根据最后一段“when callers met their rescuers, a lot of them would ask, “Wait, how old are you?”That was what they felt the most priceless moment. (当报火警的人们见到他们的救援人员时，很多人会问：“等等，你们多大了？”那是他们感到最无价的时刻)”可知，他们为自己的年轻感到骄傲。

【河北省示范性高中2022-2023学年高三9月调研】
For most people, having property stolen feels like a disaster. Robbie Pruitt admits when his mountain bike was stolen last September, he got mad. But soon enough, his emotions took a turn. After letting go of his anger, he found himself on a road to compassion instead.
As a biker, Pruitt’s first priority was to buy one again, but when he went bike shopping, he found the pickings slim. The scarcity in stock got him thinking: What if the person who’d taken his had done so because he truly needed transportation to get to work?
With that thought in mind, Pruitt came up with a plan and posted it to a local Facebook group. Pruitt put out a call for bikes people don’t use, which he would repair again for free and then donate to folks who could truly use them but didn’t have the budget to buy a bike outright.
The day the post went live, Pruitt was excited about a list of 30 used bicycles. The initial influx(涌入) was
followed by more than 500 posts from people who either had bikes to donate or that needed fixing soon after. By the end of the month, Pruitt had repaired more than 140 bikes for donation.
In addition to practical skills, Pruitt’s lessons teach teamwork, encourage self-esteem, and foster feelings of community. “Pruitt is certainly providing a service, but it’s not the bikes. It’s t he relationships in the community. It’s the impact he made on people. All the neighborhood kids are spending a lot more time doing something that’s hands-on,” Pruitt’s next-door neighbor Danny told The Washington Post.
4．How did he feel after he went to the bikeshop?
A．He was angry at the theft. B．He became eager to a new bike.
C．He would rather find his old bike. D．He became in sympathy with the thief.
5．What does the underlined word “scarcity” in Para. 2 probably mean?
A．Variety. B．Shortage. C．Abundance. D．Security.
6．Why did Pruitt post on Facebook?
A．To find his lost bike. B．To collect unemployed bikes.
C．To raise some money for charity. D．To advertise his bike repair shop.
7．Which of the following best describes Robbie Pruitt?

【山东省日照市2022-2023学年高三上学期期末校际考试】
Kieran Moise, 18, started growing out his hair in the eighth grade, after losing a friend to brain cancer. He had
seen people donate their hair to children who had lost theirs during medical treatment and wanted to do same.
“Kieran has always been known for his hair. It was a big part of his personality and who he was,” said his mother, Kelly Moise. “But he has always been the most compassionate and caring person. Since he was 6 years old, he somehow had the mindset of raising money and giving it to people who need it, and that never changed.”
In May, Moise graduated from high school with an impressive 19-inch Afro (非洲发式). But with him set to enter the U.S. Air Force Academy, it was finally time for the big cut.
To maximize his impact, Moise organized a live event at a local brewery in Huntsville and an online fundraising campaign called “Kieran’s Curls for Cancer”, where he aimed to raise $1,000 per inch cut.
On May 29, nearly 100 people attended the event, where they watched Moise get his hair braided and snipped off. His hair was donated to Children With Hair Loss, a non-profit organization in Michigan that makes free wigs for kids and young adults facing medically related hair loss.
By the end of the day, the event raised $20,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and has continued to raise money online. As of Saturday, it was more than $39,000.
“Charitable giving comes in many forms, from direct acts of kindness to impactful public statements that motivate others to come together to support a cause,” Richard C．Shadyac Jr., President and CEO for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, told CNN, “Kieran’s simple act of kindness exemplifies (例证) the power of younger generations and is something to celebrate, a selfless decision that will make a direct impact on the lives of the kids at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and children everywhere for years to come.”
4．What contributed to Kieran Moise’s starting growing out his hair?
A．His high-quality fine hair. B．The death of one of his friends.
C．His witness of children’s pain D．The encouragement from his mother
5．Why does Kieran Moise’s mother mention his childhood?
A．To introduce his kind deeds in the past. B．To prove his unique personality
C．To praise him for his contributions D．To show that he is kind from an early age

【山东省潍坊市2022-2023学年度高三上学期1月期末】
Jude and Leo Hawes have come a long way since they entered the world, born at just 29weeks. Airlifted from their home in Launceston to hospital in Hobart, the twins, now happy and healthy two-year-olds, were delivered into the ICU to be cared for and monitored. A gift from the Tasmanian branch of Octopus for a Preemie (早产儿) for them was a light in the dark.
“These stories really do remind us why we all spend so much time and our own money making these octopuses (章鱼),” Bianca, the co-founder of the project, tells Woman’s Day. “It means the world to me t hat I can do something in whatever small way to make the journey for the babies and parents just that little bit easier. I believe if we can help others, no matter how small a way it is, then we should.”
The eight-legged creatures are specially created to calm and comfort early newborns.“In instances where the babies can’t be held for weeks, or even months, the familiarity of the parents’ scent (气味) on the octopuses can help with the bonding process because babies already know it as a safe scent when parents can finally hold them,”Bianca says.
The volunteer project began after a nurse reached out to Bianca to create a prototype of octopus she could take into hospital for a trial.
“It took me a good four to five months to teach myself how to write a pattern and get it approved,”explains Bianca, who creates the handmade helpful octopuses for no cost to families in need.
“I started making them as fast as I could, but I wasn’t able to make the amount they needed.” Soon Bianca met the group’s other co-founder Andrea Carey and the pair started creating the creatures in together in their spare time.。
