They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time."Why school?" I asked my father. "What have I done?""I'm not punishing you," he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don't you want to be useful like your brothers?"I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by you," said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others."I hesitated and squeezed his hand firmly, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man", he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave."I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?""My father," I whispered."My father's dead," he said simply.I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along and said, "This is your new home. There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully."Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends.

I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received.

2021年上海高考阅读专项--专题05 阅读理解-人物故事类(学生版)
分类拔高练习-阅读理解051.阅读理解Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn't want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger's bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don't even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others' spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.(1)What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A.Her camera stopped working.B.A woman blocked her view.C.Someone asked her to leave.D.A friend approached from behind.(2)According to the author, the woman was probably_______.A.enjoying herselfB.losing her patienceC.waiting for the sunsetD.thinking about her past(3)In the author's opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A.The rich color of the landscape.B.The perfect positioning of the camera.C.The woman's existence in the photo.D.The soft sunlight that summer day.(4)The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________.A.the need to be close to natureB.the importance of private spaceC.the joy of the vacation in ItalyD.the shared passion for beauty(5)The passage can be seen as the author's reflections upon _______.A.a particular life experienceB.the pleasure of travelingC.the art of photographyD.a lost friendship2.阅读理解BI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn't want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul— he stood up for me. I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core (核心)of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you're fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He'd been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn't talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.(1)Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn't like his agent.C.He wasn't famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.(2)Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same dge.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They han similar charactertics.(3)What does the underlined word “that” i n paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for chileden.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.(4)What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.3.阅读下列短文:从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项,将正确的选项涂在答题卡上。

压碎的心丁玲这是平平第一次坐火车。
晚上跟着妈妈,哥哥,一大串人到太原车站去,沿路都是走不通的大车,他奇怪着晚上在黑处倒比白天热闹。
车站里更是拥挤,人们都急急忙忙地,谁也不理谁。
平平被拖进一个黑箱子里,哦,原来这就是火车,平平失望着,而且这空气非常不好,同车的人都将不安影响着他,他们都讲着日本人呢。
最讨厌的是妈妈,只要平平稍微有一点顽皮的举动,妈妈就恐吓着说:“哼!不听话的孩子,就送给日本人!”或是晚上平平不睡觉,妈也总是说:“快睡呀!不睡日本人就来了。
”好容易旅程结束,到了这个城,平平住到了外祖母的家里。
这天一早,他从梦中醒来。
梦里,他又看见火车,火车变得非常可怕,那上边坐满了日本人,日本人从车上跳下来,要抓他。
妈妈不能保护他,倒在地上哭,外祖母也好,哥哥也好,隔壁的叔叔也好,大家都怕得缩到一团。
他伤心地哭着,哭着哭着就醒了。
唉,难道这么多爱他的人就没有一个不怕日本人的么?吃过早饭不久,有几个穿灰衣的人来了。
平平被关在房里,外祖母把上房边房都空出来让给他们住。
平平先也很怕,后来看看那几个人很和气,就争着跑出来偷偷地看。
他知道他们是兵,那些兵跑来抱他,买包子给他吃,又把他引到上房去,唱歌给他听,他们互相扭做一团打着玩。
黄昏的时候,灰衣的兵越来越多了,并且有许多穿黄呢大衣的。
他怕穿黄衣的人,妈妈说那黄衣是日本人的,不过他们一进房就把黄衣服脱了,里边还是一样的灰衣服。
晚上有两个兵带他去看戏,他看见了日本人,那些日本人就穿了那种黄呢的大衣,他们打中国人,后来中国兵来了,把日本人打死了。
他觉得很舒服,他喜欢中国的兵。
现在平平有了好朋友了,也有了靠山,就是住在上房的陈旅长。
平平成天在旅长房里玩,他从不禁止他顽皮。
听外祖母说很多老百姓都留他,因为有他在这里就可以不怕日本人。
有些时候,当妈妈来到旅长房里叫他回去,他就表示不服从。

Their twins-a girl and a boy-were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live."I saw him gasp (喘息), but the doctor said it was no use," Kate told the Daily Mail five years later.

They also talked to him."We were trying to persuade him to stay," Kate told the Daily Mail.

As he grew up, Augustus liked racing his friends around the block, buying candies at the store, especially drawing—drawing pictures of the shoemakers at his father's shoe shop. At the age of 13, his father told him it was time to go to work. Augustus replied, "I should like it if I could do something which would help me to be an artist." He began as an apprentice to a cameo cutter out of stone and shell, and carved cameos of people, lions, and even the head of Hercules from Greek mythology, when the Civil War had just begun.At 19, with his earnings and his parents' support, he travelled to Paris and Rome for further training and artistic study. Before he left, he drew a portrait of his mother in pencil and sculpted a small bust(半身像) of his father out of clay. Then, 22-year-old Augustus opened an art studio in Rome and worked on his first life-sizedsculpture, called Hiawatha. An art patron was impressed with this sculpture and promised to help Augustus "until your genius and labors shall have met with the reward to which I feel they are entitled".In 1876, Augustus was chosen to design a monument to the Civil War hero Admiral David Farragut of the U. S. Navy. Completed five years later, when he was 33, his first major sculpture for the U. S. was unveiled at Madison Square in New York City, the sculptor's boyhood home. One art critic called it "the best monument of the kind the city has to show". Then the giant Standing Lincoln in Lincoln Park, Chicago in a setting by architect White, 1884-1887, was considered the finest portrait statue in the U. S.However, in 1900, aged 52, his doctors told him he had cancer. Even though he was often ill, he continued to work at his home and studio in Cornish, New Hampshire.In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt requested that Augustus redesign American coins—to convey the strength of the nation. Augustus made lifelike pencil sketches of his coin designs. Yet, Augustus died in August 1907, two months before his l0-dollar and 20-dollar gold coins were issued. Augustus Saint-Gaudens had fulfilled his dream-and more! He was one of the greatest American sculptors not only of his day but also of all time. (1)What did Augustus like doing as a child?A. He enjoyed selling candies at the store.B. He enjoyed chasing after his friends at school.C. He liked drawing pictures of his father's workers.D. He liked going to work as a shoemaker in his father's shop.(2)How did Augustus become a sculptor?A. He received sponsorship from an art critic.B. He sculpted a small bust of his parents out of clay.C. He opened an art studio in Rome and worked on Hiawatha.D.

2023年高考语文复习文学类文本阅读理解:山谷风
山谷风山间路上,杂树丛生,刘少奇和阎大勇边走边谈。
初夏的平山,山色青青,荫绿四野。
旺盛的草木,也见证着这方水土的宽厚和富庶。
相传早在原始社会晚期,滹沱河两岸便有了人烟。
据史料记载,两千多年前,商汤之祖就是在此地发祥。
经春秋,历汉唐,这里先后又被称为蒲吾县、房山县,唐肃宗至德元年,始称平山县。
阎大勇望望刘少奇:“听山里老人们说,平山,老年间叫蒲吾、房山,后来唐朝的时候,安禄山造反,这一反不要紧,朝廷下了令,凡是地名里带着‘安’、‘禄’、’山’三个字的就都得改,这房山就改成了平山,意思是说,平定安禄山哩。
”刘少奇颇有兴致:“哦,还有这么一番来历啊。
”阎大勇也笑了:“只是叫了个平山也不太平。
闹八国联军的时候,洋鬼子就在这儿设了大本营,向井陉、娘子关发兵哩。
民国十六年,泰军和晋军又在这儿打起来了。
再后来,日本鬼子来了,把山里人杀惨了……”平山,经年战乱,兵戈不断,使得滹沱河两岸血雨腥风,草木皆惊。
尤其是1937年秋,卢沟桥事变不久,日军就攻陷了平山,烧杀抢掠,制造了三十三起惨案;地主武装也乘兴作乱,使这一方水土满目疮痍,饿殍遍野。
虽说太行山麓年年返青,却如忧乱伤怀的古人所云:国破山河在,城春草木深……阎大勇指着不远处,叹口气说:“这后山上,还真有个白毛仙姑洞。
起初,山里人不知道那里住的是个受苦的佃户女儿,只道这地方,又多了个云游的仙姑呢。
”刘少奇望望后山,很感慨:“没来平山之前,就知道平山出了个白毛女,看来平山也有不平事啊。
”阎大勇点着头:“那出戏,我在县上也看过。
可不,没兴土改那会儿,挣着穷命种一年地,到年根儿下,还是交不起地租,就差和杨白劳一样喝卤水了。
”临近山顶,山路也越发崎岖,阎大勇紧走几步,回身伸出了手…………伴着鸟语松风,刘少奇和阎大勇渐渐接近了山顶。
绕过青石岩,拨开灌木丛,抬头看,瓦蓝瓦蓝的天空,仿佛一伸手就能叩出声来。
绵绵群山,终于一望无边地铺展在眼前了。
阎大勇紧走几步,上前扶住了刘少奇:“吟子上风大,找块地儿坐吧。

2023届高考英语阅读理解专练(3)故事类
(3)故事类一、I would mention a journey I made through France the summer after I graduated from college. I had just finished a seasonal job in Paris and was slowly making my way to Greece, where I was to live and teach for a year at Athens College. A business associate of my father's in Pontarlier, an industrial town near France's border with Switzerland, said that he was driving to join his family on the Mediterranean and would be happy to give me a lift.I joined him in Pontarlier, and we climbed into his luxury Peugeot and set south for Marseille. This man—Mr. D., I'll call him—was wealthy and fancied himself a connoisseur (鉴赏家) of great French food and wine. Like many Frenchmen, he also fancied himself something of a philosopher, and what could be better for a philosopher than a young, attentive, and captive listener?So he idled(使闲着) us south, stretching what today could be a 10-hour highway drive into a multiple-day moveable feast by taking the most scenic and snail's-paced-country lanes, stopping at great restaurants whenever the mood struck him, which was often, and discoursing(讲述) lovingly and at length on everything from language to politics to women.How could I complain? I was getting a ride to the Cote d'Azur—which danced all blue-green sea and sun-bright sand in my mind—in the air-conditioned comfort of an elegant Peugeot, and receiving a first-class education in French cuisine, and all for free!I recall that journey now as a range of images—long, straight, tree-bordered roads and Van Gogh fields, Renoir afternoons of dappled(斑驳的) sunlight and shade, rocky restaurant balconies bordered with bright flowers, laughter and the clink of glasses and the music of French filling the air. I remember drinking a great deal of what seemed to my uneducated nose and mouth to be extraordinarily flavourful red wine. Eventually we reached Marseille and parted company—both of us, I think, happy for the journey and for its end. In the following years, when summer arrives, I think of road trips.1.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic of road trips.B.To stress the author's preference for summer road trips.C.To offer some basic information of a road trip.D.To show the author's purpose of a special road trip.2.What can we know about Mr. D.?A.He has a great talent for doing business.B.He considers himself an expert in a certain field.C.He is rather wealthy and a good listener.D.He is a philosopher fond of educating people.3.How did the author feel about the trip?A.Impressive and eye-opening.B. Unforgettable but short.C.Instructive and classic.D.Inspiring but tiring.4.What does the author mean in the last sentence?A.He missed Mr. D. very much.B.He can't help associating road trips with summer.C.He made road trips with his family every summer.D.He planned road trips with Mr. D. in the following summers.二、I remember going to the British Museum one day to read up the treatment for some slight illness—hay fever, I thought it was. I got down the book, and read all I came to read; and then, I began to casually study diseases generally. Turning over the pages, I came to typhoid fever, read the symptoms and discovered that I had it. I was wondering what else I had got, and St. Vitus's Dance turned up, which I thought I also had. So I determined to go through it thoroughly and so started alphabetically(照字母顺序排列的): ague I had, just in the acute stage. Cholera I had, with severe complications; and diphtheria I seemed to have been born with.I sat and considered. What an interesting case I must be from a medical point of view! What a learning material I should be to a medical class! Students would have no need to “walk the hospitals”, if they had me. I was a hospital in myself. All they need do would be to walk around me, and, after that, take their diploma!I went to my doctor, who is an old friend of mine. I thought I would do him a good turn by going to him now. “What a doctor wants”, I said, “is practice. He will get more practice out of me than out of 1,700 of his ordinary, commonplace patients, with only one or two diseases each.” He said: “Well, what's the matter with you?” I said, “Iwill not take up your time, with telling you what is the matter with me. But I will tell you what is not the matter with me. I have not got a housemaid's knee(髌前囊炎). Everything else, however, I have g ot.” And I told him how I came to discover it all. He felt my pulse, looked at my tongue, and talked about the weather as usual, all for nothing. Then he wrote out a prescription, folded it up and gave it to me, and I put it in my pocket and went out. I did not open it. I took it to the nearest chemist's and handed it in. The man read it and then handed it back. I read the prescription. It ran: "beefsteak, every 6 hours.ten-mile walk every morning.bed at 11 sharp every night.And don't stuff up your head with things you don't understand."5.Why did the author go to the British Museum the other day?A.

This honor is given by The National Association of Realtors(NAR) in the US. Working alongside her husband Dr. David Brown, she has been transforming abandoned mobile homes into villages of tiny homes that offer permanent housing to homeless people. Together, and with the help of numerous localvolunteers, they have developed Eden Village, a unique hub of tiny homes.Mrs. Brown told Goodnet, "My motivation is a dream that Missouri will be a city where no one sleeps outside and the joy is seeing the life change in our friends whom society has given up on."The wish to help homeless people, and restore their dignity and self-worth, as Mrs. Brown explained, had been a joint mission for some years. The couple ran a local evening drop-in center for local homeless people called Gardening Tree, for almost a decade. This functioned as a shelter where people experiencing homelessness could grab a bite, shower, do laundry and relax.But they wanted to do more than what Dr. Brown called a "band-aid". This desire stems from their philosophy that the homeless can get a new life once they have a roof over their heads. With the help of local organizations, the husband and wife team succeeded in raising almost $5 million, which enabled them to transform unused mobile homes and a ruined trailer park into a small village of tiny homes that opened in 2018. They named this place Eden Village, reflecting the sanctuary(庇护) it offers its residents.As Mrs. Brown said in her award acceptance speech about her journey to creating Eden Village, helping homeless people is something personal. "I watched as my homeless friends walked off into the darkness to a hidden, wet, cold camp while we went home to a warm bed. I had to do something," she said.9.What won Mrs. Brown the Good Neighbor Award?A. Working as a volunteer.B. Helping her neighbors.C. Providing housing for the homeless.D. Operating a drop-in center for the poor.10.Why did Dr. Brown call Gardening Tree a "band-aid"?A.It was used only in case of emergency.B. It didn't function as a lasting home.C. It covered only a very small area.D. It failed to provide food for people.11.How does Mrs. Brown sound in the last paragraph?A. Delighted.B.Confident.C.Sorrowful.D. Embarrassed.12.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Missouri Couple Takes Care of Gardening TreeB. NAR Honors 2022 Good Neighbor Award WinnersC. V olunteers Help Build Eden Village for the HomelessD. Eden Village Founder Wins 2022 Good Neighbor Award四、Gutiérrez's life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He used to take home between 50 and 60 books every morning. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families. Colombia's capital city of Bogota has 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet.Gutiérrez's community library is a true representation of how one man's garbage can be another's treasure.Gutiérrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutiérrez.Today, his makeshift community library, called "The Strength of Words", occupies most of his home in southern Bogota, and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20.000 books! As word began to spread about his amazing project, people began sending him thousands more books to grow his library.Despite having done so much for his community, Gutiérrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through garbage cans for reading materials. Today, the Gutiérrez family does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading.Gutiérrez's journey to give back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us. How might we take a leaf out of Gutiérrez's books and impact the less fortunate around us?13.What inspired Gutiérrez to rescue unwanted books?A. The abandoned Anna Karenina.B. Leo Tolstoy's life.C. Children's living conditions.D. A community-library.14.Why did Gutiérrez start "The Strength of Words"?A. To create a harmonious neighborhood.B. To give his mother sufficient books.C. To facilitate children's reading.D. To improve the community life.15.What can best describe Gutiérrez?A. Devoted and talented.B. Intelligent and generous.C. Passionate and well-educated.D. Creative and caring.16.What would be the best title for the text?A. Desire for readingB. From garbage to treasureC. Gutiérrez's kindnessD. An amazing model of education五、When Emanuel received an email from Professor Richard English at Queen's University, who encouraged him to apply for a PhD in Politics in Belfast, it was a pinch-me moment Emanuel never thought would be possible. After all, just a few short years ago, he was living on the streets, couch-surfing at friends' houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet. Now, one of the world's leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen's University over 4,000 miles away.Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him, so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life. What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.Through his high school and community college years, he moved from house to house, living with friends at times and living on the streets at others.Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life, Emanuel involved himself in school—doing everything he could to earn extra tuition(学费) money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn't get a regular student loan.Fortunately, the government backed him, having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree and went on to do his Masters.Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different."I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly, not thinking he would reply and to my surprise, he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen's. When I was told I was successful, my whole world changed."17.What does the underlined word "pinch-me" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Imaginary.B. Anticipated.C. Unbelievable.D.Embarrassing.18.What happened to Emanuel in his childhood?A.His father passed away early.B. He received great parental care.C. He was once adopted by his relátives.D. He lived with his friends now and then.19.Which of the following can best describe Emanuel?A.Tough and strong-willed.B. Determined and talented.C.Enthusiastic and generous.D. Hardworking and attractive.20.What is the main idea the author wants to convey to us?A. Well begun is half done.B. Never judge by appearances.C.Many hands make light work.D. You are the architect of your own life. 六、Paul O’Sullivan walked around his apartment in the US city of Baltimore one evening in 2014, feeling bored. Just for fun, he decided to try to find out how many other people on Facebook shared his name. Moments later, dozensof Paul O'Sullivans filled his screen and he sent friend requests to them all.As Baltimore Paul looked through the profiles of the Paul O'Sullivans who accepted his invitation, hénoticed something four of them had in common: They were all musicians. Baltimore Paul had an idea. He asked the other three musical Pauls if they'd like to form a band called The Paul O'Sullivans. They all agreed.Fortunatelv, Manchester Paul,a 59-year-old former professional musician knew how to fix that. They would create a kind of musical assembly line including online sessions.The Band released its first original song, “Namesake,”in March 2016. But just months after the song's release, Baltimore Paul began experiencing health issues that forced him to take time off from making music. The other Pauls also decided to take a break from the band. But they didn't press pause on their friendship. Instead, they made sure Baltimore Paul never felt alone, even with the long distances between them. They shared family pictures and chatted online.Finally, after a four-year break, Baltimore Paul was well enough to start making music again. The first thing the band did was create a music video for “Namesake,” which has now been watched on YouTube more than 50,000 times.“It has been a lovely journey that has lasted seven years so far. A four-stop international tour—one concert in each of our hometowns —would be great,” says Baltimore Paul.“What are the odds,” he says, that a random Facebook request would lead not only to new music but to lasting friendships as well? “Some things are just meant to be.”21.What inspired Baltimore Paul to form a band?A. His enthusiasm for music.B. His dream of having an international tour.C. Four Paul O’Sullivans all being musicians.D. Friendship among the four Paul O’Sullivans.22.What does the underlined word “nettlesome” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Easy.B. Disappointing.C. Troublesome.D. Interesting.23.What can be learned from Paragraph 4?A. It never rains but it pours.B. It's never too late to mend.C. One is never too old to learn.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.24.What's the purpose of the text?A. To teach how to start a band.B. To introduce a band united by a name.C. To show how to make friends online.D. To introduce a popular online service. 七、My mother suffered COPD and heart failure, which made her have great difficulty breathing or catching her breath. For the last 5 years of her life, my most common memory was of her leaned over an outdoor trash can, trying to get enough air.I was away getting my Master's in Theatre Arts when she passed away. My mind was unhinged(精神错乱的). They pulled me off my desk and took me to the local mental health facility. I was just at tech week for the show Fefu and Her Friends. My officemate and fellow director Sarah Jane Hardy took over the production and saw it safely through.But this is just the beginning of the kindness that surrounded me. She sat with me in my apartment when I returned and let me fall apart in a safe space. My dad traveledwith me from Phoenix to Utah to see the final performance. My department chair allowed me to fold over my thesis(论文) and turn it into an MA researched thesis so I could return home at the end of the year having graduated. My roommates helped motivate me to go to classes.This was one of the hardest chapters in my life and so many people came to help me to heal. I think before this time I would have prized intelligence or education as the highest trait(特点) in a person, but afterwards, I’ve felt that kindness defines people most. The world would be a cold place if we did not have friends who showed it openly in our times of need.25.What was the author's common memory of her mother in her last years?A.

I had read the e-mail three times before I actually believed it.Grasped in my hand was the form giving permission to print my story. No faxing for me—I decided to send it back through the mail just to be sure it reached its destination. Filled with excitement, I told the clerk about my good news. "Wow, look at you go!" she said. "That will be ten dollars." I reached for my credit card. "Our system doesn't work today, so we can only accept cash," said the clerk. I searched through my purse. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I carried cash. But now, I rarely did. Then a deep voice behind me said, I'll take care of it." I hadn't noticed the manbehind me. I turned to meet him as he held out a ten-dollar bill."Congratulations on your story," he said. "Just pay it forward." I thanked him. Then I drove to the seaside restaurant to meet Tina. As we walked back toward our cars, I noticed something on the sidewalk, shining in the sun. I picked up a credit card."How are we going to find the person who dropped this?" Tina asked. "First, let's try to spot someone who seems to be searching anxiously," I said. A moment later, Tina said excitedly, "I'll bet that's her!" A young mother had a baby on her back as she dug through some bags.I approached the woman. "Are you Jessica Slate?" I asked.Her eyes grew round. "Yes!""I believe this is yours," I said, handing her the card."Thank you! During normal times, I'd give you a hug," she said. We laughed and bumped elbows instead.I realized being on both the receiving and the giving end of kind gestures felt equally good. I had experienced an interpretation of paying it forward—first with cash, then with credit.29.Why did the author go to the post office?A.To print his story.B. To mail the form.C. To fetch his publication.D. To fax the publishing house.30.What happened to the author in the post office?A. The clerk refused to serve him.B. His credit card failed to work.C.

高考语文阅读理解《边城》含答案
高考语文阅读理解《边城》含答案阅读下面的文字,完成下面小题。
边城(节选)两年日子过去了。
这两年来两个中秋节,恰好都无月亮可看,凡在这边城地方,因看月而起整夜男女唱歌的故事,通统不能如期举行,因此两个中秋留给翠翠的印象,极其平淡无奇。
两个新年虽照例可以看到军营里和各乡来的狮子龙灯,在小教场迎春,锣鼓喧阗大热闹,到了十五夜晚,城中舞龙耍狮子的镇筸兵士,还各自赤裸着肩膊,往各处去欢迎炮仗烟火。
城中军营里,税关局长公馆,河街上一些大字号,莫不预先截老毛竹筒,或镂空棕榈树根株,用洞硝拌和磺炭钢砂,一千槌八百槌把烟火做好。
好勇取乐的军士,光赤着个上身,玩着灯打着鼓来了,小鞭炮如落雨的样子,从悬到长竿尖端的空中落到玩灯的光赤赤肩背上,锣鼓催动急促的拍子,大家情绪都为这事情十分兴奋。
鞭炮放过一阵后,用长凳脚绑着的大筒烟火,在敞坪一端燃起了引线,先是咝咝地流泻白光,慢慢的这白光便吼啸起来,作出如雷如虎惊人的声音,白光向上空冲去,高至二十丈,下落时便洒散着满天花雨。
人人把颈脖缩着,又怕又欢喜。
玩灯的兵士,却在火花中绕着圈子,俨然毫不在意的样子。
翠翠同她的祖父,也看过这样的热闹,留下一个热闹的印象,但这印象不知为什么原因,总不如那个端午所经过的事情甜而美。
翠翠为了不能忘记那件事,上年一个端午又同祖父到城边河街去看了半天船,一切玩得正好时,忽然落了行雨,无人衣衫不被雨湿透。
为了避雨,祖孙二人同那只黄狗,走到顺顺吊脚楼上去,挤在一个角隅里。
有人扛凳子从身边过去,翠翠认得那人正是去年打了火把送她回家的人,就告给祖父:“爷爷,那个人去年送我回家,他拿了火把走路时,真像个山上的喽罗!”祖父当时不作声,等到那人回头又走过面前时,就闪不知一把抓住那个人,笑嘻嘻说:“嗨嗨,你这个喽罗!要你到我家喝一杯也不成,还怕酒里有毒,把你这个真命天子毒死!”那人一看是守渡船的,且看到了翠翠,就笑了。
“翠翠,你长大了!二老说你在河边大鱼会吃你,我们这里河中的鱼,现在可吞不下你了。

鸡炖三遍唐风风故事是母亲讲的。
花奶奶四儿一女,农业社的时候,两口子起早贪黑累死累活,一家人也是成天瘪着肚子,生活过得像米筛,到处是窟窿,真应了那句话:“半大小子吃死老子。
”刚入冬,花奶奶的婆婆去世了,花奶奶东凑西借,请人置办,好不容易打发老人入土为安,按老理儿最后需请帮工的乡亲吃顿饭,事情就算彻底办完了。
白面缸仨月前就见了底,花奶奶硬着头皮跑了四家才借了五六斤面,让做饭的大师傅看了看,大师傅皱皱眉:“就这吧!”按规矩,这顿大锅饭得有荤腥,花奶奶哪有钱买肉,鸡屁股里抠的几分钱还不够换油盐呢,咬咬牙很狠心把一只母鸡杀了,杀鸡的时候,花奶奶躲出去老远,收拾鸡的时候,望着鸡肚子里葡萄一样的鸡软蛋,花奶奶擦起衣襟一个劲抹眼泪。
傍晚,大师傅出门时叮嘱:“水开了,慢火炖两个钟头,千万盖好盖子别让野猫野狗给祸害了,明儿就用呢。
”入夜,一家人喝着稀糊糊,一人分一个柿子窝窝头,小五抢着用水涮了糊糊锅,咕咚一口,满意地喝了下去。
很快,香味悠悠地从厨房飘出来,小五咽一口唾沫,几个孩子受了传染,也不由自主吞口唾沫,本家爷爷也跟着喉结一动。
不自觉地,一家人就围在厨房火炉旁,小三伸脖子,使劲吸冒出的白汽。
香气愈来愈浓郁,四丫头伸手去揭锅盖,花奶奶一巴掌拍在手背上:“别动!”四丫头嘟囔道:“我只看看。
”“看也不行!”花奶奶训斥道。
花奶奶心里敞亮,倘若掀开盖子,怕是神仙也难忍住。
时间一分一秒过去了,孩子们你看看我,我眼瞅你,最后齐齐看向父亲。
本家爷爷开口了:“要不咱喝口汤吧,汤这么多,喝点儿没啥,大不了再续点儿水。
”“好啊,好啊!”老二鼓掌,几个孩子眼睛一下子移到母亲脸上。
花奶奶心里觉得应该阻止,但看着能伸出舌头的五双眼睛,嘴唇翕动一下,没出声只点点头。
小四跑去拿来碗,花奶奶掀开锅盖,一圈人同时深吸一口气,一人一勺,花奶奶紧招呼:“凉凉再喝,烫嘴咧!”大儿子鼓着腮帮子用力吹,老二直接把碗端到寒冷的屋外,小三干脆端着碗就着边慢慢嘬,四丫头笑着没动,小五晃悠着碗,让汤在碗里一圈一圈打转儿,花奶奶和本家爷爷互相望一眼,同时说:“你也喝一口吧!”说完都笑了。

I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time. As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.As a novel ist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library.

高考语文阅读理解《斗寒图》含答案
高考语文阅读理解《斗寒图》含答案(2022·宁夏·石嘴山市第三中学高三期末)阅读下面的文字,完成7-9题。
斗寒图冯骥才老沈和我,还有国画系另一名教师潘大年,是二十多年前北京国立艺术专科学校的老同学。
在那个风云多变的时代,老沈的处境并不稳,随时都会因波涛骤起而覆舟落水【注】,我一直暗暗为他揪心,同时预感到祸事迟早要飞到他头上。
想到这儿,我饭也没吃,戴上一顶厚厚的棉帽子,去他家看他。
我推开门。
只见老沈坐在一张破旧的、掉了漆皮儿的小圆桌前。
手里捏着一个六边形的白瓷小酒盅闷闷独酌。
他见我来了,没有起身,只略略抬一抬他胡茬浓密的稍尖的下巴,叫我坐在他对面。
他穿着一件对襟的黑绸面的中式小棉袄,紧紧包着瘦瘦的身子。
他头发白了不少,梳成老年式的背头,但头发硬,总有一些不服贴地翘起来,散开,并像野草那样横竖穿插着。
我俩像在小酒店偶然同桌的陌客,都在喝自己的闷酒。
这时,他站起身,走到墙角的画案前,在毡子上铺开一张雪白的画纸,磨好墨,又从墙上的筷子篓里取出一支长锋、尖头磨秃的狼毫画笔。
老沈手握笔管,对平展展的白纸凝视片刻。
忽然,他的双眉就象受惊的燕子的一双翅膀抖动一下,仿佛胸中有股激情奔涌上来。
跟着,这激情跑到他的笔管上,这笔管就在他手中狂乱地抖颤,随即他的臂肘一抬,那饱蘸浓墨汁的画笔如同鹤鹰击兔一般倏然落到纸上。
笔管闪电似地挥动,笔锋在纸面上来回翻转、戳擦,宛如狂风吹舞的柳条拂扫水面,洁白的纸面上出现一条变幻着的捉摸不定的墨色的形体——但这只是须臾间的感觉。
随后,一株苍拙劲拔的老梅树跃然而生。
这时他的笔头落入盛满清水的水盆里一扰,笔上的墨在水中象乌云一样化开,混成灰色。
那笔又在粉罐里猛点两下,重新落回到纸上。
冲动而颤抖不止的笔头横皴竖抹,一边豪放而不经意地把水点、墨点、粉点弄得淋漓满纸。
于是,狂风暴雪,立时成形。
他的肘腕肩臂乃至全身都在用力,左手撑着桌边,仿佛不这样,身子就要扑在画上。
两绺头发滑落到额前,他也不去管,任它们在光滑的鼓脑门上像穗子一般摆动。

我决意再等一阵,踅进一家小茶馆里一边吃茶一边盯肴电杆。
旁边新盖了一家酒店,玻瑞装嵌,还未完工,正有人用白粉写“注意玻璃”的字样。
吃过一壶茶后,我回到了家。
妻子说王有福来电话了,反复解释他是病了,不能赴约,能否明日上午在德巴街后边的德比街再见,仍是路南第十个电杆下。
第二天我赶到德比街,电杆下果然坐着一个老头,额头上包着一块纱布。
我说你是王得贵的爹吗,他立即弯下腰,说:我叫王有福。
我把得贵捎的钱交给他,让给娘好好治病。
他看四周没人,就解开裤带将钱装进裤衩上的兜里,说:“我请你去喝烧酒!”我谢绝了。
他转身往街的西头走去,又回过头来给我鞠了个躬。
我问他家离这儿远吗,他说不远,就在德巴街紧南的胡同里。
我说从这里过去不是更近吗,老头笑了一下,说:“我不走德巴街。
”他不去德巴街,我却要去,昨日那家茶馆不错。
走过那家酒店,玻璃墙上却贴出了一张布告——昨天因装修的玻璃上未作标志,致使一过路人误撞受伤。
敬请受伤者速来我店接受我们的歉意并领取赔偿费。
我被酒店此举感动,很快想到王有福是不是撞了玻璃受的伤呢,突然萌生了一个念头:既然肯赔偿,那就是他们理屈,何不去法院上告,趁机索赔更大一笔钱呢?我为我的聪明得意,第二天便给王有福打电话,约他下午到红星饭店边吃边谈。
红星饭店也是玻璃装修,我选择这家饭店,是要证实他是不是真的在酒店挂伤的。
他见了我,肿胀的脸上泛了笑容,步履却小心翼翼,到了门口还用手摸,证实是门口了,一倾一倾地摇晃着小脑袋走进来。
“我没请你,你倒请我了!”他说。
“一顿饭算什么!”我给他倒了一杯酒,他赶忙说:“我不敢喝的,我有伤。
”“大伯,你是在德巴街酒店撞伤的吗?”“你……那酒店怎么啦?”“这么说,你真的在那儿撞的!”“这……”老头瓷在那里,似乎要抵赖,但脸色立即赤红,压低了声音说:“是在那儿撞的。

山风王东梅那一年,俺奶还没见过俺爷。
俺奶在西山坡上种黄豆。
地肥,水足,种子撒下去,很快就发了芽,嗖嗖地长,长叶子,长秆子,长豆子。
那一年,俺爷也不知道这世上还有俺奶这么个人。
俺爷在东山沟里磨豆腐。
俺爷是十里八乡做豆腐的高手,俺爷做的豆腐,嫩,滑,甜。
东山沟和西山坡中间隔着一座亮甲山。
说是山,其实比起真正的山,就是一个很大的土包,说大不大,说小也不小。
刚入秋,山风就像是长了腿,一路从亮甲山的山顶上往下跑,跑过俺奶的黄豆地,就夹带了涩涩的豆子香。
风一路往下跑,绕过山沟就跑进了俺爷的豆腐坊。
俺爷一吸溜鼻子,就乐了——好豆子啊!一拍大腿,俺爷就迎着香味儿跑出屋,跑上了西山坡,跑进了俺奶的豆子地。
俺奶累了。
锄了一天的地,俺奶想要展展腰,借着山风,舒缓舒缓酸胀的胳膊腿,却见一个人一路从坡下跑上来。
俺爷迎着山风来到了俺奶跟前。
俺奶平生第一次见到了俺爷。
山风再次荡过豆子地刮向东山沟的时候,俺奶和俺奶的黄豆,也已经来到了俺爷的豆腐坊里。
俺爷嘿嘿一笑,端出一大碗水豆腐,水豆腐上淋了用红辣椒、鲜香菜、小香葱、盐和香油制成的调料,红红绿绿,白白嫩嫩,大老远就香气扑鼻。
俺奶三下五除二就吞下了一大碗水豆腐,末了,一抹嘴,说:“真香!香死个人嘞!”俺爷说:“指定香啊!你可着亮甲山前前后后打听打听,俺做的水豆腐,那是头一份儿。
”俺奶脸上的笑就僵住了,俺爷赶紧改口:“等明儿用了你种的黄豆磨出来的水豆腐,那就天下第一了。
”哈,俺奶的脸上终于又有了一丝笑模样。
俺爷问:“还想吃不?”俺奶说:“想。
”俺爷说:“留下吧!”俺奶没吭声儿。
俺奶没有留在俺爷的豆腐坊。
俺爷照旧过他磨豆腐卖豆腐的生活。
每天天还黑着,俺爷就起身,钻进豆腐坊里磨豆腐。
天刚亮,俺爷就挑着担子进村去吆喝了。
这时候,西山坡上,俺奶扛着锄头,也下地了。
又是一年豆子熟的时候,山风带来了满沟满谷的豆香,也带来了山顶上密如炒豆的枪声。
高考语文阅读理解《牛老大和他的那口军锅》含答案
高考语文阅读理解《牛老大和他的那口军锅》含答案阅读下面的文字,完成7-9题。
牛老大和他的那口军锅许行牛老大参加抗联,连长看他胡子老长,就封他个“火头军”。
别人都有刀有枪,就他手里没家什。
老婆只觉得脸上无光,一急就把家里那口脸盆大的生铁锅给拔了出来。
“背上,让它也跟你去打鬼子!”“真是贤妻。
”牛老大感动得差点给老婆跪下。
“别贫嘴,打败日本给老娘换金锅。
”牛老大的老婆一指他的脑门说。
那时抗联困难,老百姓也很困难。
连长见了,又心酸又感动。
牛老大家三张嘴,就这么个熬苞米糊糊的锅呀!牛老大老婆说:“打鬼子我人都豁出去了,还差这口锅吗!”真说得个叮当山响,掉在地上也能砸出坑来。
牛老大也很自豪,成天乐颠颠地背着这口锅爬山、钻林子。
做饭时很是小心,这口熬苞米糊糊的锅已参军入伍,身价百倍,不能等闲看待了。
“小同志,盛饭轻点,别把锅给碰坏了。
”这口锅成了牛老大的心肝啦!战斗越来越残酷,鬼子围攻得越来越凶,抗联的粮食已经吃光,连生火做饭的机会也不多了。
人饿得前胸贴后背,还背那么一个十多斤的生铁锅就有点不堪重负了。
战士们都轻装,可牛老大这口锅却不肯扔。
有人劝他说:“扔了吧,跑起来还能轻便点。
”牛老大摇摇头说:“它不是牛老大的家锅,它是抗联的军锅啦!”随后又很动情地说:“不是我牛老大不嫌累,是我觉得大家看着它老肠老肚子才有盼头;鬼子看见它也能吓一跳,抗联还没断粮呀!”大家没想到牛老大肚子里还有这么篇文章。
连长原是个青年学生,他听了也很受启发和感动,止不住拍拍牛老大的肩膀叫了声“牛大叔”。
从此,牛老大这口锅背得更来劲了,打仗、行军从不落后,有时到了宿营地没有粮食也能给大家煮顿榆皮、榆钱、野菜汤喝。
如果能捞到鱼,抓住野猪、野兔,逮住几只青蛙,还能给大家改善改善生活。
就在断粮的日子,牛老大也能给这口锅派上个用场。
这天,鬼子跟踪追击,离老远就打枪,连长在指挥战斗中不幸被击中。
牛老大搀扶着连长也挨了一枪,却只听当啷一声并未负伤。
到了宿营地一看,原来一颗子弹已把他背着的锅给打了一道璺(wèn,裂痕)。

AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson.Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addans helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.

In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton want ed to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventu ring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the wo rld’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.(1)What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A.They were made last weekB.They showed undersea sceneriesC.They were found by a cameramanD.They recorded a disastrous adventure(2)Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A.Frank HurleyB.Ernest ShackletonC.Robert Falcon ScottD.Caroline Alexander(3)What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A.Artistic creationB.Scientific researchC.Money makingD.Treasure hunting3.阅读理解In 2004 ,when my daughter Becky was ten , she and my husband ,Joe, were united in their desire for a dog . As for me , I shared none of their canine lust.But why , they pleaded. “Because I don't have time to take care of a dog.” But we'll do it. ” Really? You're going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes , and yes .”I don't believe you .” We will . We promise.They didn't . From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day ) , neither thought to walk the dog . While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots , to schedule her vet appointments , to feed and clean her , Misty knew this on day one . As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large) , shecalculated ,”The medium one is the sucker in the pack .”Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) . She'd look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers , beam her need , and then wait , trusting I would understand — which , strangely , I almost always did . In no time , she became my feet as I read , and splaying across my stomach as I watched television .Even so , part of me continued to resent walking duty . Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I'd balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair , ” I' d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home .Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact —my husband ‘ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word : leukemia ( 白血病) .With that , I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital , doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.As the months went by,I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or tojust be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.When serious illness visits your household, it's , not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you acts differently.Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or 'one marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She Was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis she reminded me that life goes on.After Joe died in 2009,Misty slept on his pillow.I'm grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy m' walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.(1)why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?A.She was afraid the dog would get the family, into trouble.B.It would be her business to take care of the dogC.Her husband and daughter were united as one.D.She didn't want to spoil he' daughter.(2)Which of the following is the closest in meaning to "The medium one is “he sucker in the pack.” (Paragraph 3)?A."The middle-aged person loves me most.”B.”The medium-s ized woman is the hostess.”C."The man in the middle is the one who has the final say.”D."The woman is the kind and trustworthy one in the family.”(3)It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that_______.A.Misty was quite cleverB.Misty could solve math problemsC.the writer was a slow learnerD.no one walked Misty the first day(4)The story came to its turning point when________.A.Joe died in 2009B.Joe fell ill in 2007C.the writer began to walk the dogD.the dog tired to please the writer(5)Why did the writer continue to walk Misty while Joe was in hospital?A.Misty couldn't live without herB.Her friends didn't offer any helpC.The walk provided her with spiritual comfort.D.She didn't want Misty to 'others companion.(6)What is the message the writer wants to convey in the passage?A.One should learn to enjoy hard times.B.A disaster can change everything in life.C.Moments of joy suggest that there is still hope ahead.D.People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty.4.阅读理解Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. "There's so much to learn," he'd say. "Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. " He was determined that none of his children would be denied an education.Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning.Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen."Felice," he'd say, "tell me what you learned today. ""I learned that the population of Nepal is .... "Silence.Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. "The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well . . . . " he'd say. "Get the map; let's see where Nepal is. " And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher /1 studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life.

Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow , old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window , thinking about his former rival (竞争对手)。

We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did notquite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.56.

The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards whenit suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step o ut. Someone shouted,”The war is over. ”For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.51.

Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5pm. However, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door. a wave of waters greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t wish me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. And the plaster had to be torn off the wall’s ceilings pulled down.At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home. so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so wemove to a wooden house in a park. The house was small. but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community(社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbors, and I’d never thought how much I,I’d miss that.Although our situation was very bad, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought. “We didn’t have a straw hut (茅草房)that was for Christmas. But I can’t wait —I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year,I won’t need any gifts — living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush —we have our home back. and that’s the main thing.45. What does the underlined word “amiss” in the first paragraph mean ?A. Wrong.B.

She thought her own home was the most important.答案 45.A 46.B 47.D 48.APassage 5(2020浙江A篇)I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile –warm and reassuring –and I returned her gift by smiling back.“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.“It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’. Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said.” “My husband used to bring me flowers every week –even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and – of course –I miss him since he’s passed away.”I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries.

These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.”I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had justpurchased. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said.

But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warn. By the time she got to the platform,Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before,she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.Several yards away,Frank,43,and his girlfriend,Jennifer,found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.But when he heard the scream,followed by someone yelling,“Oh,my God,she fel l in!”Frank didn’t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No!Not you! ”his girlfriend screamed after him.She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa,he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness,felt herself being pulled along the ground,and saw someone else holding her purse.Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk butshe couldn’t,and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.Police and fire officials soon arrived,and Frank told the story to an officer.

By dragging her away from the edge.44. When did Lisa become conscious again?A. When the train was leaving.B. After she was back on the platform.C. After the police and fire officials came.D.

She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing,“The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. ”We studied the board critically. Some of US looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard,rocking the sheets to the fight or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten—dollar grand prize,each and every one of US. I'm going to spend mine on candies,one hopeful would announce,while another practiced looking serious,wise and rich.Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of US used big designs,and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one comer of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it. Some of US would wander past the good students’ desks and then retu rn to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the soil they seemed especially fond of。

高考语文阅读理解《“土地是滚烫的,故事是鲜活的”——访作家关仁山》含答案阅读下面的文字,完成4-6题。
“土地是滚烫的,故事是鲜活的”——访作家关仁山记者:去年, 您创作了反映河北省阜平县脱贫攻坚事迹的长篇报告文学《太行沃土》,为此做了哪些前期准备?关仁山:阜平县古称“畿西屏障”,素有“穷山恶水”“阜平县不富”之说。
但是,人穷志不穷,残酷的环境塑造了阜平县人豁达豪爽、吃苦耐劳的性格和渴望光明富裕、积极响应改革的进步精神。
2012年12月29日至30日,习近平总书记到阜平县骆驼湾村、顾家台村看望困难群众,向全国吹响了扶贫号角。
此后短短几年,阜平县人民便依靠勤劳的双手成功脱贫。
面对这样意义重大的脱贫典型,我生怕自己对其中震撼人心的好故事发掘得不到位,或者表现得不够淋漓尽致。
为此,我一遍又一遍地阅读《阜平县志》,对阜平县的地理环境、历史沿革、风土人情等进行了比较细致的研究。
记者:您在阜平县的采访过程中,哪些人和事给您留下了深刻的印象?关仁山:阜平县的许多人,不仅留给了我深刻的印象,还令我深受感动。
来自保定银行的扶贫驻村干部王恩东的事迹深深打动了我。
顾家台村贫困农民顾成虎,儿子呆傻,女儿待业在家,几年前妻子还被倒塌的房子砸中,一家人只能靠着四亩山地种玉米土豆,以及村支书顾叔军借给他们的房子艰难度日。
王恩东了解情况后,一直在生活上不遗余力地帮助他们,不仅帮忙流转土地、卖猪、开小卖部等,还安排顾成虎的女儿顾文香去阜平县支教中心读书,并帮她申请了助学金。
在马兰村,谈到扶贫,不得不提一个响当当的名字——邓小岚。
作为人民新闻家、《晋察冀日报》创办者邓拓的小女儿,出生在马兰的邓小岚始终对这片土地怀有深厚的感情。
1997年,她第一次回到马兰村,就觉得应该为马兰村做点事情。
当时,她每年的退休金三万多元,便拿出两万元用来帮助马兰村。
她出资盖校舍,帮助困难学生解决学费问题,帮助村里发展了红色旅游。
退休后,她每年往返北京和马兰村十几趟,组建了马兰小乐队,在大山里培养了200多个爱音乐的孩子。

1.2013福建卷When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring. They were the “in”thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being “replaced”. We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new”stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. “You'll recognize this one,”she said, smiling.Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.1.The underlined word “in”in the first paragraph probably means “________”.A. fashionable B. available C. practical D. renewable2.When she got the ring back, the writer was about ________.A. 13 years oldB. 15 years oldC. 26 years oldD. 28 years old 3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The writer's family moved several times.B.The writer never stopped looking for her ring.C.The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.D.The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.4.What would be the best title for the passage?A.

She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas,little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here,her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.One day,when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room.I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it.I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn’t feel like one then. That memo ry just like my Nanny’s love will stay in my heart forever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love.1.

Our children were upstairs unpacking,and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.’’ I thought it could be just about anything. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more ,and caught up in the business of our new life ,I eventually forgot about his surprise.Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window,I saw a dot of blue across the yard.I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花)throughout the front lawn 一blue, yellow and my favorite pink ,with little faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?My father’s crocuses bloomed (开花)each spring for the next five seasons, always bringing the same assurance:Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon.Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses ,so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.On a sp ring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual — my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of melting snow ,bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadn’t bloomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.1.According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that ______.A.it kept bothering the author not knowing what the surprise was.B.the author was unpacking when her father was making the surprise.C.it was not the first time that the author’s father had made a surprise.D.the author knew what the surprise was because she knew her father2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.The author usually felt depressed in the season of winter.B.The author’s father planted the crocuses to lift her low spirits.C.The author often thought about her father after he died.D.The crocuses bloomed each spring before her father died.3.The author’s father should be best described as ______.A.a part-time worker who loved flowersB.a kind-hearted man who lived with faithC.a full-time gardener with skillful handsD.an ordinary man with doubts in his life4.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Crocuses — My Source of Faith B.Crocuses—Father’s SurpriseC.A Pink Crocus — My Memory D.Crocuses in Blossom — My Fav答案:1.C 2.D 3.B 4.A4.2013山西太原三模MARCH 05, 2013TOKYO (AFP)—A father froze to death while sheltering his nine-year-old daughter from severe weekend snowstorms that swept northern Japan.
