Denmark's agriculture minister is herself an organic farmer. The UK market for organic food grew by 55 percent in 2000. while the food market as a whole grew by only one percent. Yet only seven percent of British shoppers account for nearly 60 percent of organic sales. However popular the idea of organic farming may be, it is still an interest for only a few people・So what makes the idea of organic farming popular? Organic fanning means farming with natural materials, rather than with man-made fertilizers or pesticides. Organic fanners rely on many methods —such as crop rotation （农作物白勺轮作）and the use of resistant（有抵抗力的）varieties, because they are necessary for organic farmers to compensate for the shortage of man-made chemicals.Organic farming is often supposed to be safer than traditional farming for the environment. Yet after a long research on organic farming worldwide for a number of years, science continues to be against this opinion. The House of Commons committee on agriculture publicized that, even with complete research work, it would fail to find any scientific evidence to prove "that any of claims （宣称）made for organic farming is always true".However, the talk about the benefits of organic fanning is going on. This is partly because many people depend on their individualfarm, the soil, the weather, and so on.1.The first paragraph mainly tells us ____ .anic farming has been performed only in Europe over the past 10 yearsernments of European countries have cared less about organic farmingC・ organic farming is far from being as popular as expectedD.European countries need organic food more than the other countries in the world2.The underlined words "compensate for99 in the second paragraph probably mean “ ______ 二A.argue forB. care for C・ stnjggle for D. pay for3.What can we know about organic farming?A.It refers to farming with natural materials, instead of chemical fertilizers-B.It refers to farming with chemical fertilizers rather than natural fertilizers.C・ It refers to fanning with soil rather than any other thing.D.

My high school is very big and the 4 minutes to go from one class to another isn’t really a lot of time even for a quick boy like me. Today, I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention(放学后留校).”After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today, we wrote about ourselves. The teacher asked us to just write what we thought, and we would pay attention to punctuation(标点符号) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good one, and the teacher said I had used good images to communicate my feelings.Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with students I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch, I signed up for a computer club.

Then he moved from his hometown to Xi’an, and became a deliveryman. He turned all the hardships he has been going through these years into funny jokes, which brings a refreshing life. For him, the skill of humor is not something he was born with, but what he has been diligently (勤奋地) training with his sincerity and eagerness to get a better life.On a freezing winter night, he stopped for a while in a bar after finishing the errands and heard rounds of cheers and laughs coming from the bar, and he was told that it was an open-mic event for stand-up comedy (脱口秀) .

The students have only been in the US for a few weeks or months. Many students were from different countries last year. Woods Chan became concerned when she started hearing the Spanish-speaking students laugh when their classmates spoke Mam or Arabic.Woods Chan came up with an idea. She asked her students to take turns teaching a little bit of their home language each day. Students taught their partners how to count from 1 to 10, how to introduce themselves and how to say basic phrases or words like “Cool”. Then, they recorded themselves saying those phrases in short videos and wrote vocabulary words on the whiteboard.Woods Chan saw the difference in her students. She said they grew more confident after seeing their own language on the whiteboard and hearing it in the videos. They started making friends with each other across cultural lines. Other students who were not in that class would come in and see something written in Mam on the whiteboard and say, “Hey, that’s Mam! I speak Mam!”The project also helped students understand their partners better. Orlando, a 17-year-old student from El Salvador, said he never knew Arabic or Mam, even existed before he came to the US and heard his classmates talk. Now, he thinks it would be good for all students in his school to learn a little of their partners’ home languages. “When I first got here,” he said in Spanish, “I thought, ‘No one talks like me. I’m the only one, and I felt lonely.’ Now, I don’t feel so bad anymore.”Knowledge of other languages can help Woods Chan’s students beyond the classroom, too. Languages like Mam are becoming more and more common in the US. Some Oakland graduates have gone on to become Mam-English interpreters (口译员) to help fill a lack of interpreters in all kinds of settings.9．What made Woods Chan think of the idea?A．Some of her students making fun of other languages.B．Her students hardly using their home languages.C．Her students being interested in learning a new language.D．Her students having difficulty communicating with each other.10．What was the students’ feeling of seeing their home languages written on the whiteboard?A．Angry but accepting.B．Excited and proud.C．Worried but supportive.D．Relaxed and creative.11．What effect did Woods Chan’s project have on Orlando?A．It made him feel less lonely at school.B．It encouraged him to get a job as an interpreter.C．It helped him understand his home language better.D．It enabled him to work better in foreign language classes.12．What can be the best title for the text?A．School Is Not the Only Place to Learn B．All Her Students Are Language TeachersC．She Replies to Her Students’ Needs Quickly D．Language Is Not a Block to Communication（2023秋·北京·高一统考期中）When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade, she came to me with a problem. “Marcy hates me!” she cried. “Because Kathy is my friend, too. She wants me to be her friend and nobody else’s. You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too!”Oh! I looked at her for a few moments, wondering how I got into this mess (困境), when suddenly an idea came to me.Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow, so does the basket. You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn’t do for yourself. I did everything you couldn’t do on your own.”She nodded.“Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket. When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket.”She said softly, “I can tie my own shoes.”“Right. As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket with thingsonly you can do.”She looked up at me and said, “I understand.

After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after.

For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends.

It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any givenday. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sisterˈs friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me all the highlights. He did not let me down.The carnival is most definitely all about the samba. Itˈs a style of music and dance which has its roots in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being colonized (殖民), so this mixed culture of African, Latin and European styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals (和声). Itˈs the kind of music that you canˈt help dancing to, and I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, my hips and shoulders were swinging (摇摆) almost involuntarily.Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade, the symbol of Brazilian culture, inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship title, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street. About the samba parade, twelve main teams compete for the championship, and if they win, their performance will be talked about for years to come. So, you must be wondering how it was. Well, Iˈm afraid I canˈt tell you. Ronnie and I never made into the Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and it was truly amazing.21．What made the author nervous in the beginning?A．Busy schedule.B．The big crowd.C．No local guide.D．Culture shock.22．What can we learn about samba from this passage?A．It has its origin in America.B．It is not the taste of the author.C．It has a long and mixed culture.D．Its music is usually slow and soft.23．The author didnˈt regret missing the parade because ________.A．she met some amazing local peopleB．she didnˈt have the tickets for the paradeC．she celebrated the festival in a local wayD．she enjoyed herself by making her own parties24．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To recommend a helpful guide.B．To tell a painful history of Rio de Janeiro.C．To encourage people to learn samba.D．To share an unforgettable experience.（2023春·山东青岛·高一统考期中）Recently I was watching a talk show hosted by a comedian called Trevor Noah from South Africa. The part which struck me most was his advice about travelling. He said, “The one thing you will never waste your money on is travelling. Travel broadens the mind. It is the antidote to ignorance (无知).” In my opinion this statement should be everyone’s life motto (座右铭).This year I’ve had the opportunity to do a lot of travelling around Europe and it has shown me first hand how much you can learn and develop by visiting different places. It is so wonderful to be able to go to a different country, listen to the different languages, try local food and experience the different culture.I’ve personally noticed how different I am since I started exploring more. It involves being able to find good train or plane tickets, getting yourself to the airport, not to mention trying to find your way around a completely new city. While it can be scary at first, after a few trips you realize that Google Maps is your best friend and it really isn’t that difficult to figure out public transport. Travelling also helps you develop your organization skills! It is basic to figure out how to get to different tourist attractions and plan your time wisely. However, it is also nice to learn to relax. On top of that, hotels are a great way to meet new people from all around the world. It is fantastic when young people from different parts of the world come together; I’ve met so many strange and wonderful people this way.As far as I can see, travel as much as possible, because the experiences you will gain from travelling can’t be taught at school and they will change your life.25．What do the underlined words “antidote to” mean in the first paragraph?A．Replacement of.B．Development of.C．Treatment for.D．Agreement to.26．How will the author describe his trip to Europe?A．Busy.B．Hard.C．Rich.D．Costly.27．What has happened to the author since he began traveling?A．He has become more confident and independent.B．He has developed a skill to select tourist attractions.C．He has found it hard to figure out public transport.D．He has made many friends from all over the world.28．Which section is the text most likely to appear in a newspaper?A．News.B．Education.C．Opinions.D．Health.（2023春·江苏泰州·高一泰州中学校考阶段练习）Johan Clarey tends not to be in much of a rush when it comes to anything other than speeding down a hill on skis. Add Olympic success to the list of things he’s waited for.The Frenchman, who turned 41 in January, became the oldest man to win an Olympic medal in Alpine skiing in history when he claimed a silver behind Beat Feuz of Switzerland in the downhill at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games, breaking Bode Miller’s record by five years.“Everything came late in my life. Since I was a young boy, that’s what my mother said,” Clarey said. “I take extra time to do everything — walking, speaking and everything. Apparently, my career started quite the same.”This was Clarey’s fourth Olympics and realistically his last chance of being on the podium (领奖台) at the Olympics. “I took a lot of risks. I knew I had only one chance left in my career to get a medal in the Olympics,” he said. “And when I was going down, I knew I made a good run, but you never know in downhill skiing. Sometimes you’re fast, but sometimes you’re not. You never know why. But today was fast.” This was only Clarey’s second medal at a major championship; he also took home a silver in the super-G at the 2019 world championships.And this big moment almost didn’t happen: Clarey had considered retirement. He said he’s been having doubts about whether to continue competing for six years. The Frenchman said, “At 35, I said to myself, You have to do one year by one year.” That, he says now, was “a good choice”, because he has the medal to prove it. Clarey is still not quite ready to quit.

But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished.Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!”. I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”“Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ actually means ‘Really!’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”Only then did I realize I had made a fool of mysell. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: What the English teachers said is always right to us students.33．A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because________.A．English idioms were not importantB．my teacher didn’t emphasize the importance of themC．I had no interest in themD．I didn’t realize the importance of English idioms34．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.B．The Englishman thought the Great Wall is worth visiting.C．The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.D．The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.35．At first, on hearing “You don’t say!” I thought the foreigner meant ________.A．he was only interested in the Great WallB．he was not interested in the topicC．I had talked too muchD．I had to stop talking36．After the Englishman explained the idiom, ________.A．I felt very foolishB．I thought the Englishman had made me a foolC．the Englishman became a real foolD．I became more carefully in everything（2023·全国·高一专题练习）In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr Jones always seems to be ahead.37．Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they .A．want to be as rich as their neighborsB．want others to know or to think that they are richC．don’t want others to know they are richD．want to be happy38．It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to .A．live outside New York City B．live in New York CityC．live in apartments D．have many neighbors39．Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is .A．an important name B．a popular name in the United StatesC．his neighbor’s name D．not a good name40．According to the writer, it is to keep up with the Joneses.A．correct B．interesting C．impossible D．good参考答案：1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A【导语】这是一篇记叙文。

(完整版)高中英语记叙文阅读专项训练之记叙文

高三年级二轮复习阅读理解部分专题之记叙文主备人：李甜云一．记叙文记叙文是以叙述、描写为主要手法，以记人、叙事为主要内容的文章。

1传记传记属记叙文的一种，是用来记载人物生平事迹的文章。

在教学过程中，教师要指导学生通过时间和事件的关系把握文章的主线。

此类体裁的文章通常被分为四部分，即A. childhood years B. early manhood C. great achievement D. remarks。

教师应当引导学生按照下列主线来理解传记类文章：人物→时间与事件→成功/成就/信仰→评价。

这样使学生在准确地理解课文的同时，也能学到传记类文章的写作方法。

2故事类故事类文章也是记叙文的一种。

文章多以人物、事件为中心，以时间和空间为线索，按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事。

此类篇章情节性较强，教师可指导学生按照事件叠加、情节逐步展开的特点和解决问题，以人物一系列动作为线索的显著特征进行略读，即可以较快地获得篇章的主要信息。

然后，教师再引导学生按照situation→problem→actions→conclusion迅速、准确地理解和掌握文章的细节。

二．“八字诀”：综观理脉检索整合一、综观——握要。

首先着眼于文章的整体，注意理清内部的相互关系，从宏观上居高临下地驾驭文章，领会文章的主旨内涵。

其次还要看文章的作者、写作时间和文后的注释等，特别要浏览一下后面问了哪些问题，从题目的选项中揣测文章的主旨，明确作者的主要写作意图。

二、理脉——分层。

磨刀不误砍柴功。

把握了全篇的主旨，理清了文章的脉络，再解答后面的问题，就如顺风行船，事半功倍。

可是有些考生不在这方面下功夫，走马观花地看一遍文章，似懂非懂，就急于解答后面的问题，结果是欲速则不达，不仅费时费力，还容易答错。

三、检索——筛选。

先看题目涉及到文中哪些段落或区域，确定对应的语句，题目一般是从选文里有可能被考生忽略且又不一定真懂的地方抽出来编成各种形式的问题，用来考查学生的理解能力。

专题11 阅读理解之记叙文-2024年高考英语二轮热点题型归纳与变式演练(新高考通用)(原卷版)

专题11 阅读理解之记叙文2020-2023年高考英语阅读理解考情分析记叙文类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生、发展和结局，通常有时间、地点、人物、事件等。

有些文章是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的，在叙述的过程中有详有略；有些文章是按时间的顺序叙述的，有顺叙、倒叙等。

从总体上来讲，文章的难度通常不大，在阅读过程中，我们一直在某个线索的引导下，随着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末，因此会感到比较轻松。

命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。

阅读此类文章应特别注意：(1)若是一般故事性文章，应读懂故事的发生，发展，高潮和结局；(2)若是“哲理故事”，要理解故事所蕴含的哲理意义；(3)若是“逸闻趣事”，应体会对话的风趣性，进而才能感受幽默的精髓。

高考记叙文阅读理解注重题材的多样化、现代化和生活化，涵盖了人物故事、社会文化等方面，符合新课标人与自我、人与自然、人与社会三大主题语境，凸显语言与文化相结合。

高考记叙文的篇幅一般都在280至350词左右，段落较多。

文章语法结构多样化、表达方式灵活，常用短语和平时不常见到的表达交织在文章中，使文章更加生动和地道，也在一定程度上增加了理解的难度。

Day 5ATerry Fox never thought he’d live a remarkable life.He liked sports, but no one thought he was talented. During his first year in the university, he had a pain in his right knee, which was so bad that he couldn’t stand up. He went to the doctor fo r tests. They showed that he had cancer. He was going to lose his leg and be given an artificial one. Terry’s family and friends all gave him fantastic support. Terry said that he knew all those people really cared and helped him. He decided to face it with bravery.One night Terry was looking through an article about Dick Traum, who also had an artificial leg and had run in the New York Marathon. “If he can do it,” thought Terry, “I can, too. In fact, I’ll run across Canada and raise money for cancer resea rch. It will be a Marathon of Hope!”For the next 13 months, Terry had special treatments for his cancer. And then he also began to run a little every day. Each day he ran a little farther. It is 2,300 miles across Canada. Terry hoped to run thirty to forty miles a day so that it would take him six months. Most of all, he hoped to raise $1 million for cancer research.Because Terry had an artificial leg, running wasn’t easy or straightforward. He had to move by jumping on one foot twice and then take a long step with his real leg. Although it looked awkward, he still kept on running. His action made people join him as he ran: children, football stars, wheelchair athletes and even his brother, Darrell. As Terry ran, people waved and cheered. So much money was donated that the volunteers used large garbage bags so everyone could give.Then, outside Thunder Bay, Ontario, Terry felt a sharp pain in his chest. The pain was from cancer; this time in his lungs. He had to abandon the Marathon after 3, 339 miles. He told the people before he left, “I won’t give up. I just hope people will continue to give money.” And they did. Just under $22 million was given.Terry received numerous awards. At 22, he was the youngest Canadian to ever receive Canada’s highest award, th e Companion of the Order of Canada.1. What made Terry decide to run across Canada?A. His passion for Marathon.B. An urge to live a normal life.C. The support of his family and friends.D. The inspiring experience of Dick Traum.2. People joined him when he ran mainly because ________.A. they were moved by the scene of Terry’s runningB. they served as volunteers in the marathonC. they considered Terry as a great heroD. they loved running very much3. Why did he finally stop the marathon?A. He collected enough money for the donation.B. His family and friends persuaded him to abandon it.C. He got great pain in his body because of the cancer.D. Running with the artificial leg wasn’t straightforward.4. Which of the following words can best describe Terry?A. Generous.B. Cooperative.C Determined. D. Creative.BHe must have had that nice window seat all the way from London. An Indian, he looked under 10, medium height, slim and wore a suit. I got an aisle seat next to him. I looked at him and tried to smile as I sat down. But there was a blank, distant look that made me stop mid-smile. One of those, I thought.Each time I take a flight, I try to chat with a fellow passenger. Most people are responsive when they’re alone at 10,000 feet. But the man wearing the suit on my left was a puzzle. One of those non-resident Indians, I thought. What do you lose if you just smiled at a fellow human being? Most of the time, he stared fixedly at the seat in front of him.Why are some people so full of themselves?When the stewardess brought lunch, the unfriendly man had his eyes shut. She gave me a should-I-wake-him-up look. I didn’t say anything, and he didn’t get his lunch. Serves him right. He soon woke up and saw me eat. But he didn’t ask for his meal. He could just have pressed a button. That’s his problem.We still have almost two hours of flying left. I read a magazine. I try to play a video game. I listen to music. He does nothing. At times our eyes meet, but he isn’t all there. He’s like no other passenger I’ve ever sat next to. By the time our jet lands in Mumbai, I find his presence almost uncomfortable. As we taxi down the runway, I hear the man speak for the first time—on his mobile phone. He seems to be discussing his connecti ng flight. About somebody receiving him… Just before the aircraft comes to a halt, he’s the first to stand up. “Excuse me,” he says to me. “May I leave? I can’t miss my connecting flight.”Hmm…! I get up to make way for him when he goes on mechanically, “M y wife and child died in a road accident in Delhi.” I’m shocked by his words. Suddenly, everything falls in place.Despite his terrible loss and the sufferings he has been enduring, he was calm, controlled throughout. And, maybe, in the midst of his soul-c rushing sorrow, he didn’t want to burden a stranger with his pain.1. How does the author find the passenger in a suit sitting close by during the flight?A. Dangerous.B. Angry.C. Troublesome.D. Dull.2. Which statement is true according to the text?A. The author was guilty of not informing the man of the lunch service.B. The man showed little interest in the author’s attempt to make acquaintances.C. The man refused to talk on the plane because he had trouble connecting the flights.D. A car crash cost the man his beloved family in Mumbai.3. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Everything goes wrong to a certain extent.B. The man’s strangeness has an understandable reason.C. Everyone on board feels sorry for mistaking the man.D. All passengers make way for the man.4. What lessons did the author learn in the end?A. Never assume until you walk in the other’s shoes.B. Nothing is so certain as the unexpected.C. What’s done cannot be undone.D. Let bygones be bygones.参考答案A【答案解析】1. D2. A3. C4. C【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。

The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken . Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would likehis dog bark.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,〞Steve Tregear said , “It was a very dog.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.〞 I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical〔一样的〕 to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, untilmy own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous〞 (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.1. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____.A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons2.

Reunion with My BeagleD. My Passion for Reading4. 【·】At thirteen, I was diagnosed〔诊所〕 with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.〞She glanced down at me through her gl asses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.〞I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading systemof raised dots〔点〕, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind〞 in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted〞students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quitea surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A〞 on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?〞1. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because.A. He was new to the classB.

She finally had lost her long battle with cancer. I heard a door open and shut at the back of the church. Quick footsteps hurried along the floor. A young man looked around briefly and then sat next to me. He folded his hands and placed them on his lap. His eyes were filled with tears. He began to sniffle.“I’m late,” he explained, though no explanation was necessary.After several eulogies (悼词), he asked, “Why do they keep calling Mary by the name of Margaret?”“Because, that was her name, Margaret. Never Mary, no one called her Mary.”I whispered.I wondered why this person couldn’t have sat on the other side of the church. Who was this stranger anyway?“Isn’t this the Lutheran Church?”“No, the Lutheran Church is across the street.”“Oh.”“I believe you’re at the wrong funeral, Sir.”The seriousness of the occasion mixed with the realization of the man’s mistake burst inside me and came out as laughter. I cupped my hands over my face, hoping it would not be noticed. Sharp looks from others only made the situation seem funnier. He was laughing too, as he glanced around, deciding it was too late to leave.“I do believe we’ll be the talk of the town,” he smiled.His name was Rick and, since he had missed his aunt’s funeral, he asked me out for a cup of coffee. That afternoon began a lifelong journey for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral, but was in the right place. A year after our meeting, we were married at a country church. This time we both arrived at the same church, right on time.1.How did the author’s mother pass away?考点16易A.She took her own life.B.She died in an accident.C.She died of old age.D.She died of a cancer.2.What does the underlined word “sniffle” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?考点16易A.Sob.B.Sneeze.plain.D.Yell.3.Whose funeral was the man supposed to attend?考点16易A.His mother’s.B.His teacher’s.C.His aunt’s.D.His wife’s.4.What is the main idea of the passage?考点16中难A.How much the author missed her mother.B.Why the man went to the wrong funeral.C.How the author came across her husband.D.Where the author’s wedding was held.B （考点16中难）After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles (障碍) and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Rick,My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me.I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do th at. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.

Her arrival at our classroom was always quick,**Good morning, everyone! Small but energetic, she would drop her things on the teacher's table, and move immediately to the blackboard, continuing the material of the last lesson as though we had all just left the room for five minutes. Our books would be out, and we would watch her closely.I’ve thought a lot about Clare Lindsay over the years. What was her special magic? There're two reasons and I think they're necessary for all excellent teachers. She loved her subject, and she loved us,in a patient and objective way. She had no favorites that I can remember, and she called us all by our first names pleasantly. She had a way of teaching that I loved.“Now we could go down this path, couldn't we? We could argue this, and then this, but that doesn't work because of this. No Can Do (NCD)!”She would put a big cross, and write “NCD” against what she had put down. “Right! Why not go dow n this new path?” And she would show us that this new way worked. It was fun, and her love for maths caught on. We all did well for her, the poor students as well as the skilled. I've never found maths difficult, and 1 put that skill down to her.In fourth and fifth years, we were divided into the science and arts streams, and Mrs. Lindsay taught us all no longer. But as the leaving Certificate exams were coming.one of my friends became nervous about how much math’s he didn't know. With great courage, he went to see Mrs. Lindsay, and asked if she would help him prepare for his General Math’s paper. “Of course!” she said, and did just that, after school，in her own time He passed what a good teacher!1. What was Clare Lindsay’s special magic?考点16易A. She always talked with her students.B. She knew how to control her students.C. She had much knowledge of math’s.D. She loved her job and her students.2. What does the author mean by saying “I put that skill down to her” in Paragraph 4? 考点16易A. He forgot the math’s skill Mrs. Lindsay taught.B. He found that the math’s skill was difficult to learn.C. He thanked Mrs. Lindsay for teaching him the math’s skill.D. He hoped Mrs. Lindsay would teach him more math’s skills.3. Which of the following can best describe Clare Lindsay? 考点16易A. Enthusiastic and warm-hearted.B. Brave and patient.C. Energetic and strict.D. Generous and careful.D （考点16易）Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs. White.I don’t remember much ab out what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and find there were so many mistakes, but no red corrections, and always a star. Sometimes even a Good! This worried my mother, so one day when she went to meet Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her whyshe never red-penciled my mistakes in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors."The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, or forming sentences. I don't want to damage that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait. The wonder of words won’t." Mrs. White said.Later I knew that if Mrs. White had used her red pen often I probably wouldn't be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher to exercise such red-pen-restraint (限制). I used to misspell "beautiful" a lot, and never could quite remember that the "e" went before the "a". It annoyed my teacher in high school. If I was going to employ the word with such lavishness (华丽丰富的语言) she figured the least I could do was spell it right. Eventually the e's and a's settled into their right hold as much as you mean sometimes.And thanks to Mrs. White, I had no worry about writing what I meant even ifI couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t "Pretty".It’s "Beautiful".1.The underlined word "This" in the second paragraph refers to the factthat .考点16易A.I always made mistakes in my spellingB. Mrs. White often made wrong correctionsC. Mrs. White's attitude towards my mistakes was specialD. mother wanted to know how to improve my spellings2.From what Mrs. White said we can infer that .考点16易A. grammar and spelling should be paid more attention toB. children don't have the patience in spelling wordsC. children's interest of learning words is very importantD. red corrections are used to draw children's attention3.The writer may probably think his/her high schoolteacher .考点16易A. taught in the same way as Mrs. White had doneB. was not satisfied with his/her mistakes made in spellingC. should tell him/her how to improve words spellingD. paid much attention to teach students to use proper words第II卷（非选择题）（每题1.5分，共60分）（1）（考点中难）The Moon’s near side, the one we all see, has been the target of many robotic and human missions.

高考英语专题练之记叙文阅读

2022高考英语专题练之记叙文阅读（A）Jonathan Bauer is afraid of heights, but that didn’t stop him from leaping off a bridge some 25 to 40 feet to the water below to save a little girl’s life.On May 2, Bauer and his teenage daughter Ava were driving on the bridge over Maryland’s Assawoman Bay when they got caught in a serious five-car pileup. The accident sent eight people to the hospital and left a pickup truck hanging dangerously over the guardrail.After making sure Ava was okay, Bauer got out of his car to see if anyone needed help. As he headed toward the shaking truck, its passenger informed him of a heart-wrenching sight — a very young child was floating in the bay. “I looked over and saw the car seat, and then about six feet away from the car seat, I saw the little girl floating perfectly on her back, arms moving, legs kicking.” Bauer said, as reported by WJLA.Scanning the water for nearby boats that might be able to help, Bauer found none close by. When he turned his attention back to the little girl, he saw she was in trouble. “She had turned over onto her stomach and her face was in the water,” he said.Bauer yelled to his daughter to pull over the first firefighter or paramedic (护理人员) she saw. Then he simply took off his shoes and jumped in, feet first.Surfacing without injury, he swam to the child, who appeared to be only half-conscious. Lifting the child over his shoulder, he patted her back to force the water our of her system. Moments later, boaters Joe and Alayna Oertel who had witnessed the events arrived. After pulling them to safety, the Oertels rushed the pair to the place where they were met by waiting paramedics.Meanwhile, Bauer slid away without taking credit for his brave actions. Even after reports of the incident went public, he initially tried to keep his involvement quiet, preferring to remain an unknown good Samaritan.1.It can be learned from the passage that Bauer .A.got into a panic at the sight of the drowning girlB.refused to be reported for his bravery by WJLAC.saved the girl by giving her instant first aid treatmentD.hung back before jumping off the bridge for fear of heights2.According to the passage, a good Samaritan is a person whoA.is motivated to assist others for fameB.performs good deeds out of sympathyC.saves others’ lives at the cost of his ownD.chooses to stay away from public attention3．What is the message mainly conveyed in the passage?A.Random acts of kindness make a difference to moral judgment.B.Basic first-aid techniques enable us to escape from danger.C.Heroic actions ask for no honor or approval in return.D.Success is based on the team not the individual.（B）Over the years, I’ve been guilty of hastily shutting the front door to many strangers when they came knocking with the intention of selling things. But earlier this year, around Easter time, a dear friend of mine had an experience that changed my mind and perception towards these “intruders” .Linda, who recently moved to a new neighbourhood, had been housebound all week suffering from a severe case of flu when, early one morning, there was the terrible knock on her front door. Peering out the window, she saw two young ladies demurely( 端庄地) holding leaflets and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. “This is the last thing I need today,” she muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.Coughing, she poked her head out and impatiently informed them she wasn’t the slightest bit interested in any TV whatsoever. Furthermore, she added, she was feeling quite unwelll and abruptly shut the door. The ladies politely turned and left in silence.A few hours later, another knock. Linda glanced out the window and to her surprise, there were the same two ladies, back again. Really annoyed this time, she opened the door ready to give them a piece of her mind. Before she could speak, with concerned looks on their faces, these women handed Linda what looked to be a dish, saying, “We’re so sorry we disturbed you earlier. We thought you may like this homemade chicken soup. Hopefully it might make you feel a little better.”Linda was taken aback by this lovely gesture. Being new to the area, she didn’t know many neighbours or people who could assist her with shopping or errands(跑腿) so the gesture was all the more appreciated. She could only smile sheepishly and sincerely thanked them. With that, the ladies left.After she related this story to me, I thought about how touching this deed really was. Especially in today’s world where sadly, kindness and thoughtfulness seem so rare. I also realized that thinking about others and showing kindness is the real essence of love.1.What does the expression “give them a piece of her mind” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Scold them severely.B. Drive them away.C. Refuse them directly.D. Speak out her idea.2.What can be learned about Linda from the passage?A.Linda always hastily shut the front door to many people.B.Linda was not a little interested in any TV whatsoever.C.Linda was very grateful to the ladies for their chicken soup.D.Linda would buy their TV set in reward for the ladies’ chicken soup.3.What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Chicken SoupB. Soup for the soulC. The Real Essence of LoveD. A Friend’s experience（C）Although Adrian Wood had already sent her three oldest children off to White Oak Elementary School in Edenton, North Carolina, she was anxious when it was her youngest son Amos's turn to start classes. Adrian said, “Sending Amos to school was such a different path. He was 3 when he started school. He had autism（自闭症）and he didn't speak."Amos struggled to make friends and fit in, but there was always one person there who was very happy to see him. Raymond Brown has worked at the school as a guard for the past 15 years. All of the students know and love him, and he's truly a friend to all. He started calling Adrian's son “Famous Amos” on day one. To the mom's surprise, Amos quickly began responding with a cheerful "Hey, Brown” whenever he saw him. "He wasn't even saying 'daddy' at home, so it was really something, "Adrian said.“Amos is a hard friend to have," Adrian explained, "He takes a lot more than he gives and that's tough for children. But those kids saw that he was popular and loved, and they started fighting over who would get to hold Amos' hand on the way to the classroom. It meant so much tome that he was favored by the other children at school, and Mr. Brown had a big hand in that.”About a year ago, school officials nominated Mr. Brown for North Carolina's School Hero, a $20,000 prize. When the results came out and he didn't win, Adrian was heartbroken. She couldn't let the disappointing results stand, so she took to Facebook and created an annual “Famous Amos” prize for Mr. Brown in their community. Her neighbors answered the call, donating $35,000 in just one week! Townspeople and school officials gathered in March to celebrate Mr. Brown and give him the money they'd raised. Principal Michelle handed him a giant check and thanked him for everything he does to help kids like Amos find their way.1. What made Adrian worried?A. Her youngest son's bad behavior.B.

What did Mr. Brown get in the end?A. The “Famous Amos” prize.B. A check from the local government.C. North Carolina's School Hero prize.D. A small donation from the community.（D）I fell in love with the little Free Library concept years ago on vacation,The concept of free literature-sharing boxes being posted in neighborhoods and public spaces hooked me. For a booklover, this represented great joy.,At home,my bedside table sprouts(长出）books and from the floor rises a mountainous to-be-rend pile,My husband wasn't the least bit surprised when I suggested starting our own Little Free Library.The following winter, my husband built a copy of our Irish garden shed(棚屋）with a framed glass door on the front and, in the spring, fixed it on a post in front of our house. We filled the shelves with books and since then, visitors have refilled them with literary fiction, romances,mysteries, science fiction, cowboy westerns, young-adult fiction,poetry, self-help and a range of other nonfiction.For a time after COVID-19 first-struck, public libraries shut down and Amazon firstly considered the delivery of essential and high demand items. Books were less easily gained. Traffic to our library increased. I posted reminders about hand washing, and still, readers kept coming.We wondered if we should close the Little Free Library and revisited our original motivations for hosting it: to promote the exchange of books, to create a sense of community. Reading provides the necessary relief to the emotional stress of life. With this in mind, we added a written reminder on staying safe in the library.Through my teens, reading transported me to other places and eras. Books taught me about life and how people overcame difficulties. I no longer felt alone in the things I struggled against.Aside from the entertainment books offer, studies show that reading exposes us to other cultures and perspectives. Literature sheds light on the justice to be found in social inclusion (包容）and community focus. Self-esteem (自尊）and understanding grow in equal measure as we come to understand ourselves and our place in the world.During this pandemic, the Little Free Library has strengthened the importance of literature and reading to our emotional and mental health. It's become an alternative means of creating a community of people with mutual regard for humanity and the written word. We are together even when apart.1. What is the husband's attitude toward building the Little Free Library?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Indifferent.D.Doubtful.2. What happened to the author's Little Free Library during the pandemic?A. It was no longer allowed to be used.B. The number of books dropped sharply.C. It was getting more popular than before.D.Hand washing stopped readers coming.3.How did reading influence the writer?A.She faced difficulties bravely.B.She knew how to start a library.C.She managed to live a healthy life.D. She moved from one place to another.4. Why did the writer start the Little Free Library?A.To keep away from loneliness.B. To create a sense of community.C.To stay safe during the pandemic.D. To attract readers to donate books.（E）My cellphone rang while I was working on my computer. I looked at the phone and saw it was my 17yearold son, Tom. I quickly picked it up. "Mom, I got a 71 on the test. I did it." With those few words, I could feel my heart start to pound.Living in New York State, students cannot graduate from high school unless they pass at least five exams: one in English, one in science, two in history and one in math. For most students, who work hard, attend class, and do their homework, it isn't that hard. But for Tom, who is dyslexic (朗读困难的), it is such a real challenge that some teachers have feared he would never be able to even attempt, never mind achieve.We were honest with him about his trouble, letting him know that there was nothing to be ashamed of. Some people learn differently. If he was willing to work, we would help him find a way to do as much as he could in his academic career. All that was standing in his way was this math test. He had taken it three times and did better each time, but he continued to fail. He was starting to get a bit tired of me saying this was a marathon not a sprint (冲刺). My heart broke each time we would get the failing results."Mom, thanks. I love you. Thanks for believing I could do this."For one of the few times in my life, I really had nothing left to say. For that one brief moment I knew, really, really, knew that everything we did to help our son achieve what he wanted was worth it.1. What does the underlined word "pound" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Sink suddenly.B. Beat wildly.C. Ache violently.D. Break totally.2. According to the text, Tom was weak in .A. EnglishB. scienceC. historyD. math3. How did the writer feel when she wrote this text?A. She felt proud and satisfied.B. She felt surprised and bitter.C. She felt grateful and relaxed.D. She felt worried and anxious.4. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Mother's Love That Made the GradeB. A Student Who Struggled for a DiplomaC. Failure Is the Mother of SuccessD. Life Is Not a Sprint but a Marathon（F）Leslie Nielsen’s childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life —his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career (职业) in acting. Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.But even then, what he had wasn’t quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasn’t until 1980 —32 years into his career —that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane! That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that he always felt he should do but even during his last few years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the comer. He never stopped working, never retired.Leslie Nielsen’s devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life.1. Why did Nielsen want to be an actor?A. He enjoyed watching movies.B. He was eager to earn money.C. He wanted to be like his uncleD. He felt he was good at acting.2. What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career?A. He directed some high quality movies.B. He avoided taking on new challenges.C. He focused on playing dramatic roles.D. He became a successful comedy actor.3. What does Nielsen’s career story tell us?A. Art is long, life is short.B. He who laughs last laughs longest.C. It’s never too late to learn.D. Where there’s a will there’s a way.（G）“They tell me that you’d like to make a statue(塑像) of me-is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream?”The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.“Yes, sir,”she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wouldn’t have duo ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner. “President Lincoln smiled. “Painters, sculptors-they’ve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but I’m afraid there’s not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust(半身像)?”Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice.“Of course-I shouldn’t have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size. “Vinnie’s face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small does not mean weak, sir,”she defended herself. “I was born in the country of Wisconsin. I’ve driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay(粘土) figure would not exhaust my strength-and that is what I intend to do!”The President’s eyes, brightened at her show of spirit. “Sorry, madam, I have underestimated you as I didn’t know your background.”But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. “Miss Ream,”he sighed, “I’d like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war.

1.（2023秋·北京昌平·高三期末）My name is Leo. I never thought of myself as a special person, but I always dreamed to be a superhero like Batman and Superman.One morning, I awoke, slipped out of bed and looked out of the window. There was a world covered in a sea of white snow. I hurried to get dressed and set out to take a walk in the snow with my drone(无人机).When I wandered in the park near my home, I saw the frozen river lying there peacefully. Then, a young girl came into my sight. She ran happily, followed by her mom from a distance. Suddenly, she was so excited that she accidentally rushed to the ice on the river. There was a creak (嘎吱声)and the girl, sensing something wrong, said “Mommy!” just before the ice gave way. With a splash(落水声), the young girl crashed through the ice. At that moment two things happened to me. Firstly, I stood more alertly(警觉地)than I had ever been before in my life. Secondly, I was on the move.I didn’t know what overcame me b ut I needed to help. The precious drone in my hand crashed to the ground and was crushed by me as I ran. I threw off my jacket and scarf while running, knowing they would weigh me down. As the woman yelled “Help!” at passers-by, I was already moving across the ice to get the girl. I tried to pull her up but the ice further broke and I fell in too. As the water began to make me very cold to the bone, I thought only of the young girl. I grasped her under the arms and pushed her up onto the ice near the edge. I was of almostno help so the mother reached out and pulled her daughter into her arms.“Take her. So c-c-c cold.” I said as I pushed the girl upwards.The woman turned back to help me using the scarf but I was nowhere to be seen. Blackness enveloped me.With a start I awoke!

Yet, to many of her students, the 33-year-old is more than that. Cheng’s care for her rural students has extended beyond the classroom and makes her a mother figure to them all.During the just past summer vacation, Cheng didn’t take time off but paid home visits to rural students of the Liling Primary School, which is located in the mountains more than 120 kilometers from the central area of Poyang county, East Chin’s Jiangxi province.Most students have been left behind by their parents, who have to go to work far away from home and are looked after by their grandparents.“Seeing these special families and special children is what made me realize the importance of rural education, and it is one of the major reasons why I have stuck around all these years,” says Cheng, who also grew up in Poyang.Since learning that one of her students, Tan Yeting, and her brother, were just depending on the small income of their grandparents’ handmade broom business, Cheng would pay regular visits to Tan’s home. She would check the homework assignment of the two children, play games with them and cut their hair. These interactions have helped both children grow in confidence and shake off their timid nature at school.“Cheng is just like our mother,” Tan says.“I feel like I can talk to her about anything, ”she adds.Cheng voluntarily chose to move to the school last year after she learned it was in need of faculty members. She has since helped to improve the teaching facilities, and went out of her way to reach children scattered around the surrounding rural area and persuade them to come to school.Thanks to her efforts, approximately 200 children in the neighborhood have been able to enjoy a better education.5．What was Chen Feng doing during the past summer vacation?A．She was on a holiday in the mountain.B．She was looking after her students in school.C．She was helping her students with their homework assignment.D．She was visiting her rural students in remote areas.6．What do we know about Tan Yeting?A．Her parents deserted her brother and her.

Naturally, the diehard (顽固的) San Francisco Giants and Little League lefty with a swing as smooth as butter was upset. When she watched the Giants on TV, she would lay out ea ch player’s card on the floor in his corresponding field position. “I like baseball cards because they are pictures of people doing happy stuff —doing what they love, and what I love.” said Reese.Reese’s loss touched the hearts of the Fresno County fire department, which posted her story on its Facebook page with a request to help Reese restore her baseball card collection.

Eye-catching signs crowded the island’s attractions, showing off circus shows, sword swallowers—and even an exhibition of tiny babies.The babies were premature ones kept alive in incubators (婴儿保育箱) pioneered by Dr. Martin Couney. The medical establishment had reject ed his incubators, but Dr. Couney didn’t give up on his aims. Starting in 1896, he funded his work by displaying the babies and charging 25 cents to see the show. In return, parents didn’t have to pay for Dr. Couney’s incubators, and many children survived who would never have had a chance otherwise.Born in 12, Lucille Horn ended up in an incubator on Coney Island. She’d been born a twin, but her twin died at birth. And the hospital staff told her father that there wasn’t a chance she’d live. “It was just: You die because you didn’t belong in the world,” Horn says. But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Island—and to Dr. Couney’s infant (婴幼儿) exhibit.Years later, Horn decided to return to see the babies—this time as a visitor. When she took the opportunity to introduce herself, Dr. Couney went over to a man who was uneasily looking at his small infant. “Look at this young lady,” Dr. Couney told the man. “She’s one of our babies. And that’s how your baby’s gonna grow up.”Horn was just one of thousands of premature infants that Dr. Couney cared for and displayed at amusementparks until the 194s. He died in 1950, shortly after incubators like his were introduced in most hospitals. At the time, Dr. Couney’s efforts were largely unknown—but at least one person will never forget him. “Ninety-six years later, here I am, all in one piece. And I’m thankful to be here,” Horn says.21．What can we learn about Dr. Couney’s incubator?A．It pushed medical science forward. B．It was the most famous sideshow.C．It saved many premature babies.

Meanwhile the professor stood nearby watching.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.

And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.”“Now consider t his: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups.

He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking a way at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.It was slow going, and Arens, 44 , thought he stood a better chance. He took off his clothes, even though the temperature was -30℃ , and jumped into the rowboat.His heart beating fast, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave himself a strong pull and slipped off the boat, crashing into 1 6 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner.Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both felt warmer.A few more minutes in the pond, the vet (兽医) told Arens, and she would have likely suffered heart failure.The next day, Arens was back working in the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie.Arens says, “That special delivery was the highlight of my career.”33．What does the underlined word “ hacking” in paragraph three most probably mean?A．cutting B．finding C．mending D．adopting34．Why does Arens think “he stood a better chance” (in paragraph four) according to the passage?A．He was able to jump into the rowboat.

2024年高考真题Passage1【新课标Ⅰ卷】“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him?A. He’s odd.B. He’s strict.C. He’s brave.D. He’s rude.25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?A. He was trained in it at university.B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.C. He benefited from it as a patient.D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment.B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work.C. Examples of rare animal diseases.D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine.27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?A. To prove Farber’s point.B. To emphasize its importance.C. To praise veterinarians.D. To advocate animal protection.【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. A【导语】本文是记叙文。

Passage 1 Passage 2 Passage 3
(2023四川宜宾二诊) Sachin Oza always seemed to catch whatever cold and flu germs were flying around.Despite being only in his mid-thirties,he felt out of shape and out of sorts.He realized that if he didn’t make some changes,his immune function would continue worsening with age.“I have a family background of diabetes,high cholesterol,and heart disease,” adds Oza.“I had to take action.” But Oza’s lifestyle stood in the way.He clocked long days working in finance in London,with little opportunity to be active or focus on his wellbeing.His commute from his home in Orpington,Kent,to the office was stressful and time-consuming,and he was spending far too many hours stuck behind his desk.
Passage 1 Passage 2 Passage 3
Now 49,Oza feels like a new man.“I catch colds far less frequently than before,” he says.His aches and pains have eased,his stress levels are lower,and he sleeps soundly.“I no longer wake up in the early hours,which has made a huge difference in how I feel.”

阅读理解（时文报道类+说理议论类）完形填空（记叙文）Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·天津南开中学月考)For grownups，an afternoon snooze(打盹) is often easier said than done.But many of us have probably experienced just how simple it can be to catch some sleep in a gently rocking hammock(吊床).By examining brain waves in sleeping adults，researchers reported in the June 21 issue of Current Biology，a Cell Press publication，that they now have evidence to explain why that is.“It is a common belief that rocking causes sleep：we fall asleep in a rocking chair soon and，since ancient times，we cradle our babies to sleep，” said Sophie Schwartz of the University of Geneva.“Yet，how this works had remained a mystery.The goal of our study was made up of two parts：to test whether rocking does indeed improve sleep，and to under stand how this might work at the brain level.”Schwartz，Michel Mühlethaler，and their colleagues Laurence Bayer and Irina Constantinescu asked twelve adult volunteers to nap on a custommade bed or “experimental hammock” that could either remain still or ro ck gently.All participants were good sleepers who didn’t typically nap and did not suffer from excessive sleepiness during the day.Each participant took two 45minute afternoon naps，one with the bed still and one with the bed in motion，while their brain activity was monitored.“We observed a faster transition to sleep in each and every subject in the swinging condition，” Mühlethaler said.“Surprisingly，we also observed a dramatic boosting of certain types of sleeprelated brain waves.”More specifically，rocking increased the length of stage N2 sleep，a form of nonrapid eye movement sleep that normally occupies about half of a good night’s sleep.The rocking bed also had a lasting effect on brain activity，increasing slow brain waves and bursts of activity known as sleep spindles(纺锤体).Schwartz and Mühlethaler say the next step is to find out whether rocking can improve longer periods of sleep and to find out whether it may be useful for the treatment of sleep disorders，such as insomnia(失眠).1.What does the June 21 issue of Current Biology tell us according to Paragraph 1?A.It is more difficult for grownups to fall asleep.B.People today like to sleep in a rocking hammock.C.Many people nowadays suffer from excessive sleepiness.D.There comes the evidence to exp lain why rocking benefits people’s sleep.2.What can we learn from Sophie Schwartz’s words?A.Her team aimed to answer two questions.B.The study is going to benefit babies a lot.C.The study had been kept secret before being finished.D.People used to believe rocking was bad for sleep.3.What finding was beyond the researchers’ expectation?A.The rocking seemed to improve participants’ sleep quality.B.All the participants fell asleep faster in the swinging condition.C.Some participants couldn’t fall asle ep in the swinging condition.D.Participants had a tendency to sleep excessively in the swinging bed.4.A suitable title for this passage would probably be .A.Take a Snooze.Easier Said than DoneB.Want a Faster Sleep？Change Your Sleeping HabitsC.Need a Nap？Find Yourself a HammockD.Suffer from Sleep Disorder？New Treatment FoundB(2018·河南周口中英文学校月考)It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams，the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life，but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage，but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners，but good sense too.It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand，a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic condition.But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough.Many drivers nowada ys don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However，misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical examples are thedriver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately，m odern drivers can’t even learn to drive，let alone master the roadmanship.Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more giveandtake from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.5.According to the passage，troubles on the road are often caused by .A.road conditionsB.the behavior of the driversC.the speed of modern lifeD.the large number of cars6.In the writer’s opinion， .A.unskillful drivers should be punishedB.strict traffic rules are badly neededC.drivers should show road politeness properlyD.drivers should avoid traffic jams7.The underlined word “giveandtake”in the passage means “”.A.politeness and impolitenessB.good manners and bad mannersC.willingness to give in to each other’s wishesD.offering help to others as much as possible8.What is the best title of the passage?A.Traffic ProblemsB.Road PolitenessC.Bad Manners on the RoadD.Good Drivers and Bad

【精选真题01】（2022·江西重点校联考）For many people, bookstores are wonderful places. That's because the books on the shelves can take you away to magical lands, help you learn a foreign language, or cook a delicious meal. But when your community is too small to house a brick bookstore, you have to come up with another idea. A mobile bookstore was the result. That is the case for Rita Collins,70, who dreamed of opening a used bookstore after retiring from teaching.A business planning class from the American Booksellers Association convinced Collins to give up her idea of opening a bookstore in the small town where she lives. Her town, Eureka, Montana, only has a population of1,517. Collins asked her instructors about a traveling bookstore on wheels and they doubted her idea. But she insisted on it.Collins was inspired by Dylans Mobile Bookstore, a traveling bookstore in Wales run by Jeff Towns. She contacted Jeff for advice but she was largely on her own when it came to building her bookstore. First, she had to find a vehicle large enough to stand in. Then she had to have it refitted with shelves that would hold the books at a15-degree angle so that they would stay in place while traveling. Collins named her bookstore St. Rita's Traveling Bookstore, which has been on the road since 2015.At first, she drove through Montana and then she made her first cross-country trip in 2016. After she retired in2017, it became a full-time job. Collins and her bookstore have visited 30 states, stopping at festivals and events along the way. Collins loves meeting people and making connections. While she loves what she does, Collins doesn't think she can keep doing it. In several years, she hopes to pas her traveling bookstore onto another book lover who shares the same interest and will keep it on the road.24. Why did Collins abandon opening a bookstore?A. It cost a lot of money.B. It was not promising.C. It would be out of date.D. It was not approved.25. Why were the shelves designed at a 15-degree angle?A. To beautify the mobile bookstore.B. To make it easy to move on the road.C. To keep the bookstore's balance.D. To protect the books from falling down.26. Which of the following can best describe Collins?A. Merciful, careful and delightful.B. Intelligent, patient and reasonable.C. Determined, perseverant and social.D. Generous，considerate and lovely.27. What is a suitable title for the text?A. Bookstore on WheelsB. Sacrificing for a BookstoreC. Cross-Country BookstoreD. A Bookstore Promoter【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

记叙文——2024届高考英语高考阅读理解文体分类练(含答案)

记叙文——2024届高考英语高考阅读理解文体分类练学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解2012 was one of the hardest years I have ever known because I lost my husband. For several months, I found it hard to write, think, eat or take pleasure in anything; I could not imagine what it would be like to feel happy again; I could not find any hope or purpose.I cannot remember the reason why one Monday morning I decided to go to a hot yoga(瑜伽) studio in east London, where I signed up for a 30-day trial. I do not remember the class or how much I sweated. What I do know is that I started going to hot yoga every day. Sometimes, when my head felt as if it might break me down, I went twice a day. I skipped parties, left social events and got up early to attend. There was something about the hot room that held me together, stopping all the dark thoughts inside my mind.I chose the Bikram method of hot yoga: It has a set of 26 postures and two breathing exercises performed in heat over a period of 90 minutes. This form of yoga was founded by Bikram Choudhury. In 2015, he failed in an attempt to copyright his method. Many practitioners (从业人员) believe that Bikram is not real yoga. Some question the limitations of just 26 postures (姿势). Others wonder why the class has to be performed before a wall of mirrors. However, something in those 26 postures freed my mind, dragged me out of my thoughts and back into the present. I was able to focus on how my body behaved differently each day.1．What happened to the author in 2012?A.She fell into deep depression.B.She tried to find hope againC.She gave up her yoga classes.D.She succeeded in writing.2．What can be inferred about the author from the second paragraph?A.She practiced hot yoga to lose weight.B. She went to the yoga studio once every day.C.She attached importance to her yoga classesD. She was sorry to skip parties to go to the yoga studio3．How did yoga help the author?A.It helped her make moneyB.It helped her feel more focusedC.It helped her get to know its founder.D.It helped her practice her performance skills.4．Where is this text most likely from?A. Science fiction.B. A travel brochure.C. A research paper.D. A health magazineLife has been hard for Chinese villager Zu Wenbao, who is in his early 20s. But thanks to Beijing-based Chen's Studio, music has become his saving grace. Zu has autism (自闭症) , which has meant Zu was unable to fit in at school or among other young people. All that changed when he started learning music at Chen's Studio.Zu, joined the five-studio school in 2020.He has since learned to play the keyboard, and sings along with the other members of the "Star Kids "band that their teacher, Chen Shensi, set up in 2021 for people with autism. "Without music and band, he wouldn't have any peers to socialise with, "said Zu's mother, who travels with her son every Sunday for two hours on three different buses from their current home in the suburb of Beijing so that he can attend classes. "Even though some kids taking music classes are younger than him and half his size, they all take care of him like he's their brother."Eager to help more people with autism, Chen started free-of-charge lessons. "Life for them has been hard, and I wanted to do as much as I could to give them joy through music, "he said. Chen admits he was very frustrated at first with his students because he had to repeat himself many times. Disciplining the class was also tough, but eventually, the students started communicating better with him and each other.People with autism tend to find it difficult to get jobs, but Chen hopes he can change that by giving his students a way to earn a living: the "Star Kids" band has already performed in several concerts at events held at campsites on the suburbs of Beijing. "It's just difficult for them to communicate normally with other people, let alone work in a typical job, but they might be able to make a living as artists. To some degree, I think music might be their language, "Chen said.5．What might be the main reason for Zu attending Chen's studio?A.Chen found Zu's talent for keyboard.B.Chen's studio was the best in Beijing.C.Zu was born enthusiastic about music.D.Zu couldn't integrate into a normal school.6．What did Zu gain from Chen's studio?A.Attention from society.B.Extraordinary musical skills.C.Admiration of other students.D.Chances to communicate with peers. 7．Which of the following words can best describe Chen?A.Creative and generous.B.Devoted and intelligent.C.Responsible and caring.D.Considerate and cooperative.8．What is the intention of Chen setting up the studio?A.To instruct his students to get a degree in music and language.B.To help his students master a way to earn a living through music.C.To teach some communication skills to his students with autism.D.To make money through performing concerts at the edge of Beijing.It was early winter several years ago. I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dirty from so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift.I put the old one in my closet and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. After a few weeks, I took it out and drove to a local charity shop. I knew that there was someone who couldn’t afford a coat but could get my old one.My new coat is my old coat now. It is getting a little dirty and worn, too. It has black marks on the sleeves. It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon, but I think I will wait for a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.9．Which word can best describe the author’s daughter?A. Wealthy.B. Thoughtful.C. Easy-going.D. Humorous.10．Why was the author in shame when seeing his old coat in the closet?A. It cost too much.B. It was looking dirty.C. There was not enough room for his new coat.D. It was not sent to someone in need.11．What is th e author’s decision after his second coat becomes old?A. Telling his daughter.B. Buying a new one soon.C. Donating it to charity.D. Sending something else to charity.12．What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?A. Giving fills our wants.B. Love is the key to joy.C. The more you give, the more you lose.D. A coat is large enough to cover our wants.The Price of a DreamI grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was afraid of this, but my mother said, “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why I dream of buying my mom a house.“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.“Three point twenty-five an hour,” I replied.“Well,” he asked, “is $3. 25 an hour the price of a dream?”That question exposed the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20, 000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother my dream house. 13．Why was the writer grateful to Coach Jarvis?A. Because Coach Jarvis made him set a goal.B. Because Coach Jarvis supplied him with new clothes.C. Because Coach Jarvis gave him financial support.D. Because Coach Jarvis helped him show conviction.14．What did the writer want to do when he was offered a job?A. Balance summer baseball and the work schedule.B. Refuse the job offer for summer baseball.C. Give up summer baseball for the job.D. Ask his coach Jarvis for advice.15．Which of t he following can replace the underlined part “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.” in paragraph 4?A. You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.B. Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.C. You must rely on yourself first, then others.D. A good beginning makes a good ending.16．What did the writer do at the end of the story?A. He failed to buy his mother a house.B. He succeeded as a sportsman.C. He became a successful businessman.D. He made some money in the summer job.Culture shock is a broad term for a series of personal difficulties that people go through in new places ant is usually most extreme for those who can not speak the language of the place they have moved to or for those who aren’t familiar with the social r ules. Both of these things applied to me in China when I moved there in 2011. So, naturally I went through the full well-known stages of culture shock: the honeymoon, frustration, adjustment and acceptance.When I arrived I was excited and optimistic but I quickly became annoyed by cultural differences, missing how things worked back home.By the end of my first year I had totally lost my self confidence and I became a bit clumsy and sensitive person and I thought it was China that made me that way.Then in my second year I started to pick up some language skills and I found fun activities to do in my spare time. I made great foreign and Chinese friends and later I developed an interest in Chinese history and culture. Based on the above I learned to considermyself a confident and happy foreigner.Today I’m back in the US where I’m pursuing a PhD at university in my hometown. It’sculture shock, experiencing the four stages in the opposite order.I’d complain loudly about the little things like I could no longer shout “ fu wu yuan” to get a waiter’s attention in a restaurant. But eventually I came to realize that my home had become an entirely new place when I was away. That, by itself ,was exciting. 17．Which stage of culture shock does paragraph 3 mainly describe?A. The honeymoon.B. Frustration .C. Adjustment.D. Acceptance. 18．Which least help the author ease his culture shock in China ?A. Making local friends.B. Joining in fun activities.C. Attending history courses.D. Learning the Chinese language.19．What does the underlined word “reverse” mean?A. exchanging the position completely.B. changing the previous decision.C. stopping having a particular position.D. changing the order of something around.20．What can we learn about the author according to the last paragraph?A. He began to feel that life in the US was boring.B. He wished to call “fu wu yuan” in a restaurant.C. He was unable to accept American life.D. He needed to adjust himself to his native life.Super Typhoon Rai (known as “Odette” in the Philippines) made landfall on Siargao Island in southeastern Philippines at 1:30 pm local time on Thursday, December 16.

Was it because of a fire or a child climbing too high to a dangerous place? Rather, it was for helping make a dream come true.Outdoor activities and a slow pace of life are a mainstay in this rural town. When people were unable to leave the community, Scott Chittle decided they needed a safe place to come together and something joyful during the winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating?To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3,000 square foot waterproof cloth and some wood to create walls online. It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill the plot.It took a little time and some neighborly persuasion as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come to see his creation, and soon Chittle’s backyard ice rink became a Manton hot spot. Children were skating and shooting, a fire was burning, and hot chocolate was steaming in to-go cups. “When things were tough, it was a place,” says Chittle’s neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm and happy instead of concerned.”But the goodwill didn’t stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters flooded to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash. “Almost 30 complete strangers knocked on my door to just shake my hand and say thank you, most of them handing me money as well and three asking for a hug,” says Chittle. “This has been a community thing. It’s more than me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort and the best intentions can do.”1．Why did fire trucks come to Manton?A．To deal with an emergency.B．To send water to the community.C．To ensure people’s safety in the town.D．To help with Chittle building the ice rink.2．What did Chittle do to carry out his project?A．Persuade his neighbors to make donations.B．Purchase a piece of land behind his house.C．Turn to the Internet for tips and materials.D．Research the popular lifestyles in Manton.3．How did the ice rink affect the community?A．It made the community popular in Mantan.B．It slowed down the pace of the residents’ life.C．It offered people there comfort and company.D．It inspired the residents to do outdoor activities. 4．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A．Everyone could make a difference to society.B．Chittle received acts of kindness from others.C．The community got better due to the ice rink.D．Chittle had goodwill to the whole community.（2023秋·江苏苏州·高三苏州中学校考阶段练习）As a child, Liu Wenwen didn’t like the suona, a “loud” traditional Chinese musical instrument, also an ancestral treasure of her family that was to become her career.Liu says she felt ashamed. In the 1990s, people admired things that were modern and international. The suona was considered out of date. Her father’s family has performed with the suona for seven generations, while the tradition on her mother’s side of the family can be traced back to the early Qing Dynasty. Despite her unwillingness, she followed her parents to play the suona as early as 3 years old. Besides it, Liu has also learned traditional Chinese vocal music and dancing — skills that have improved her oral muscles and sense of rhyme, helping equip her to be a professional musician.It wasn’t until 2008 that she first found suona music beautiful. That was when she entered the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to learn the instrument more systematically from Liu Ying, a professor and top player. “The music played by the professor is just amazing, and different from what I had heard before,” she says.She loves exchanging ideas about suona playing techniques with her students. “It’s wonderful to see the younger generation carrying on this cultural tradition.” Liu Wenwen said she is pleased to see the suona regain popularity among young people, sometimes combined with jazz, opera and other art forms. This has stopped its decline in the 1990s. Her name, when mentioned on China’s social media platforms, often is followed by a video of her live performance at a concert in Sydney, Australia. Westerners were amazed by the loud, unfamiliar instrument and its colorful music. “I felt my hard work had paid off. I trained for over 20 years, probably just to win cheers and applause for traditional Chinese music on the international stage.”5．What urged Liu Wenwen to learn to play the suona?A．Career pressure.B．Social trend.C．Family tradition.D．Her professor’s performance.6．What has helped her become a professional musician?A．Her early passion for suona.B．Her exposure to vocal music and dance.C．Her learning knowledge of rhyme.D．Her performing experiences with family.7．How did Liu begin to find suona music beautiful?A．By learning from the famous professor Liu.B．By visiting Shanghai Conservatory of Music.C．By combining suona with other music forms.D．By watching her family performing with suona.8．What is implied in the last paragraph?A．She is now working as a professor overseas.B．She appreciates the value of her performance.C．She has made a fortune after 20 years’ devotion.D．She has amazed Westerners with her hard work.（2023·江苏南京·校联考模拟预测）Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys. They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why take the risk and place the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.It was a new comb. This one was brown. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.9．From the first three paragraphs, we can learn .A．the earliest memories with Dad were full of joyB．the precious green comb of Dad was made of jadeC．the author was unwilling to clean the comb for DadD．the author would study together with Dad every evening10．What probably made Dad decide to resign from his original job to start his own business?A．That he was eager to get everything on track.B．That he wanted to keep his family life stable.C．That he was laid off and had to make a living.D．That he hoped to earn a better life for the family. 11．What emotional changes did the author experience when staying with Dad these years?A．cheerful→ mad→ warm.B．mad → satisfied → warm.C．satisfied → worried → angry.D．warm → concerned → uncomfortable.12．What could be the best title for the text?A．A Comb of Jade Green B．Dad’s Wholesale BusinessC．Evenings with My Dad D．My Earliest Memories with Dad（2023秋·江苏常州·高三校联考阶段练习）“Leave him alone!” I yelled as I walked out of the orphanage (孤儿院) gate and saw several bullies pushing the deaf kid around. I knew he lived in the old white house across the street from the orphanage where I lived.“You are a stupid idiot,” said the bigger of the two bullies as he pushed the boy down on the ground. The deaf boy’s body started shaking all over and he curled up in a ball trying to shield and hide his face. He looked like he was trying to cry, or something but he just couldn’t make any sounds.I ran as fast as I could back through the orphanage gate. I uncovered my home — made bow which I had constructed out of bamboo and string. I grabbed four arrows and then ran back out the gate with an arrow cocked in the bow. I stood there quiet, like, breathing really hard, just daring either one of them to kick or touch the boy again.“You’re a dumb freak just like him,” said one of the boys as he grabbed his friend and back off far enough so that the arrow would not hit them. “If you’re so brave, kick him again now,” I said shaking like a leaf. The bigger of the two bullies ran up and kicked the deaf boy in the middle of his back as hard as he could and then he ran out of arrow range again.The boy was trembling with fear and then made a sound that I would never forget for as long as I live. It was the sound like a whale makes when it has been harpooned (用鱼叉叉) and knows that it is about to die. I fired all four of my arrows at the two bullies as they ran away laughing about what they had done.I pulled the boy up off the ground and helped him back to his house. When we reached his home, his sister told me that her brother could not say or hear anything. I told her that he did make a sound when the bully kickedhim in the back. She told me that I must be mistaken because all her brother’s vocal cords (声带) had been removed during experimental surgery.The boy made one of those hand signs at me as I was about to leave. His sister told me that he was saying that he loved me with his hands. I didn’t say anything back to her at all because, I think, people can’t talk with their hands and everybody knows people can only talk with their mouth.On my very last day in the orphanage I was being chased by the police. They told me that I was being sent off to the Florida School for Boys, a reform school at Marianna, so I ran to get away from them. They chased me around the dining room building several times and finally I rushed for a fence and tried to climb over it to escape.I saw the deaf boy sitting there on his porch just looking at me as they pulled me down from the knee and handcuffed (用手铐铐住) me. The boy placed his fingers through the fence and just stood there looking at us. All I could hear the entire time was the high pitched sound of that whale being harpooned again. As I was pulled away into the police car I saw the deaf boy loosen his firm hold of the fence and slide very slowly to the ground. That was when I realized he probably really did love me and that he wanted to save me because he thought that I too was making the whale sound.13．Why did the author shake like a leaf?A．He got angry over others’ bullying behavior.B．He got upset for being called an idiot.C．He got disappointed by the deaf boy’s reaction.D．He got scared of being kicked by the bullies again.14．Why did the deaf boy make the high-pitched sound again in the last paragraph?A．To prove the author’s innocence.B．To save the author out of trouble.C．To signal the author to trust the police.D．To remind the author to run to the fence.15．Which words can be used to describe the author?A．Just and courageous.B．Helpful and sensitive.C．Sympathetic and modest.D．Considerate and aggressive.16．What is the best title of the story?A．A boy without vocal cords.B．The pure friendship.C．A fight with two bullies.D．The whale sound.（2023秋·江苏盐城·高三江苏省东台中学校考阶段练习）The Twenty-three-year-old Mumbai girl VidhiBubna is offering India’s first and only diving grant to explore the marine ecosystem.Vidhi’s first diving experience turned out to be a heartbreaking one. While she expected a lot of colors underwater as she had seen on TV, Vidhi came across all white corals (珊瑚), which means they are almost dead from being bleached (褪色).“It was very sad and I just started crying after coming out of the water,” she says.Vidhi, an economics graduate from Ashoka University, did not enjoy working with numbers and turned to writing about social issues, including women’s rights and minority issues.As an adventure lover, Vidhi went diving to explore the underwater beauty last year. Her disappointment at seeing dying corals led to the start of Coral Warriors, anon-profit organization that aims to raise awareness of marine protection and climate change.“Nobody knows about climate change till they see it,” Vidhi says. The Mumbai-based organisation offers India’s first and only diving grant. The grant sponsors level-one scuba diving education in any location of their choice in India. While there is no specific standard, Vidhi says the selection process is strict, choosing candidates who are passionate about climate change and seeing that they do something of their choice. Four candidates have been awarded the grant so far and the organisation hopes to find at least five people every year.“After the candidates return, we expect them to work on a climate change project of their choice, create communities, and work to create awareness and drive action-centric projects,” she explains.Prior to starting coral warriors, Vidhi was hosting free online workshops to spread awareness of marine biodiversity and climate change, and has reached about 5, 000 people through them.As a next step, Vidhi is planning to work on documentaries with high-quality underwater images and videos, considering not many can afford or have the courage to go diving to see what is happening underwater. 17．How did Vidhi feel on her first diving?A．Excited.B．Upset.C．Awesome.D．Awkward.18．Why did Vidhi set up Coral Warriors?A．To focus more attention on social issues.B．To further explore the underwater beauty.C．To fuel people’s enthusiasm for adventure.D．To make an appeal for marine conservation.19．What are candidates expected to do?A．To help promote people’s sense of community.B．To choose whatever they are passionate about.C．To meet specific and strict selection standards.D．To undertake activities relevant to climate change.20．What will Vidhi do to protect marine biodiversity?A．Ahoot documentaries.B．Tackle climate change.C．Encourage people to dive.D．Host free online workshops.（2023秋·江苏镇江·高三统考开学考试）On any given day Damon Carson will deal with lots of inquiries from large companies looking to unload massive amounts of stuff that would otherwise go to the landfill (废物填埋场). For example, twenty-eight plastic boxes from a store were just waiting for him to repurpose them. And a recreation company wanted to know if Carson was interested in 360 kilograms of blue ropes“They don’t want to just throw it away,” he explains. “Nor should they. Because it has value. ”The question of what value, and to whom, is what occupies Carson’s days.For nearly a decade, his company, Repurposed Materials, has been devoted to this. He’s not looking to recycle the stuff he gets—breaking it down to make something new—but rather finding new homes for abandoned goods in their original forms.In the late 1990s, Carson was on break from business school, when he discovered the profitable world of waste. He and a friend started a small business near construction sites. Working in construction, Carson had become familiar with an almost-everyday phenomenon: “You’d open up one of these big construction dumpster (大垃圾箱) and stuff would start falling out,” he says. He would find perfectly good wood, or a window still wrapped in plastic from the factory. “You can’t wrap your mind around how wasteful America is until you run a waste company,” he saysThere is a solid environmental case for repurposing, or upcycling. “When people call, I say we don’t chip, grind, melt.” “Carson notes. Recycling, however noble, still takes energy. “Why melt something down, if it still has value?” he asks. An old oil-field pipe might be melted down and turned into a car bumper, but it still takes a fair amount of power to finish the transformation. Why not put it straight up and turn it into a fence post on a farm? The only cost is transport.Carson recently opened two new warehouses (仓库), bringing the total to six. “Corporations(企业) are,” he says, “becoming increasingly focused on sustainability, so we’re upping (使升级) our capabilities. You never know when the next 20,000-kilogram spool of 10-centimeter-thick rope might come along, or where it might go.”21．What does Carson’s company Repurposed Materials do?A．It helps large companies bury waste.B．It warns people against throwing away waste.C．It brings new lives to abandoned stuff.D．It changes the original form of abandoned stuff.22．What advantage does upcycling have over recycling according to Carson?A．It is more logical B．It is more systematicC．It is more formal D．It is more energy-saving23．What caused Carson to consider upping his company’s capabilities?A．Current trend of using heavier ropes.B．Fast development of his warehouses.C．Natural process of treating waste materials.D．Increasing environmental concerns of corporations.24．Which of the following best describes Carson?A．Generous and hard-working B．Intelligent and humorousC．Devoted and forward-looking D．Independent and responsible（2023秋·江苏镇江·高三统考开学考试）Every November, as Thanksgiving Day approaches, one memory comes to my mind. At my big Turkish family’s get-togethers, baklava (果仁蜜饼) is the norm at the dessert table. There’s rolled baklava, nut-filled baklava and chocolate-dipped baklava.One year, though, back when I was in high school, my cousin Johnny decided to change things up a bit. He showed up at my parents’ house for Thanksgiving with two items that had never been served before--apple pie and a can of cream.Those two items caused one of the biggest arguments. I distinctly remember my mom and aunts whispering in the kitchen.“Apple pie?” one of my aunts said. “What to do with this?”I can still recall my mom’s puzzled expression at it all. If there’s one thing in this world my mom distrusts, it’s fruit-filled desserts, a no-no in our cuisine culture. “Why would you bake fruits into a dessert when you can eat them fresh?” she often says.The cream only made things worse. My mom didn’t want to hurt Johnny’s feelings. In a true act of love, she put the pie out on the dining room table, accompanied by the cream. It went mostly untouched.Nowadays, things are different. We actually have pie at Thanksgiving--my mom regularly makes pie (the fear of fruit-filled sweets continues, but desserts topped with fruits or nuts have been given the okay). We still laugh about the drama caused by Johnny’s apple pie. I’ll never forget it. It wasn’t just about the pie for me. Growing up, I sometimes felt like an outsider because of my culture. That Thanksgiving, though, was one of the first times I realized that my family’s oddness was actually a good thing. It’s what made us.What about you? Which Thanksgiving sticks out as your most memorable one?25．The purpose of the first paragraph is to introduce ________.A．the unique family tradition B．the background of the storyC．different kinds of baklava D．the customs of Thanksgiving Day26．Johnny’s apple pie ________.A．ruined the festival atmosphere B．challenged family traditionsC．resulted in a family quarrel D．contributed to a heavy meal27．Which of the following is the best description of the author’s mom?A．Serious and honest.B．Generous and strict.C．Humorous and caring.D．Considerate and flexible.28．What does the underlined sentence “It’s what made us.” in Paragraph 7 imply?A．The author is at ease with his family members.B．The author is aware of the importance of customs.C．Cuisine culture helps shape our identity.D．Culture shocks make a harmonious family.（2023·江苏南京·校联考一模）Get up at 6 am, arrive at the hospital one hour earlier to help patients check in, and accompany patients during consultations… In recent years, “patient escorts” has emerged as a new industry, and those who have taken on this career are known as “people who sell time”, 26-year-old Zhang Tian is one of them.September 4 was a lucky day for Zhang Tian.

I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident, leaving a cat-sized hole in my heart the day she left us at only six months old.

All 832 poor counties, including Jinzhai county, had been lifted out of poverty.During their visit, the foreigners were surprised by the level of internet , development and the booming digital economy in the rural area.Shaun Nish said he had been amazed by the amount of local infrastructure （基础设施），adding that he had not been expecting to see such a wide variety. He also thought that roads in the area would be less wide. He and his daughter, who live in Hefei, capital of Anhui, were also delighted with the easy access to wireless internet in the villages.Chick, who has traveled to many Southeast Asian countries for TV production work and is now turning his attention to China, said, "It is not just Wi-Fi — it's internet connectivity. That's pretty much how this village we visited is able to market its products outside.”“When you talk about infrastructure, it is always roads, water and healthcare, but peoplealways forget to mention the internet. The internet infrastructure forms the basis for a whole lot of things. It changes your perspective. It opens up your markets.”1. What is the attitude of farmers, like Zhang, to the nation's poverty alleviation efforts?A. Opposed.B. Unconcerned.C. Supportive.D. Objective.2. What can we learn about the poverty situation from Paragraph 4?A. The county that the foreigners visited is still poverty-stricken now.B. China's poverty alleviation efforts have benefited the county a lot.C. All the poor in China have been lifted out of poverty.D. All 832 poor counties in China have been fairly well-off.3. What benefit poverty alleviation efforts brought to rural areas is NOT mentioned in the passageA. Wireless internet connectivity.B. Road infrastructure.C. Booming digital economy.D. Full-covered Wi-Fi.4. What is the best title of this article?A. The process of poverty alleviationB. Some achievements in China's poverty alleviation effortsC. China's current economic strength after poverty alleviationD. Trips to areas that have been lifted out of poverty（C）A couple of days ago I unexpectedly lost my job．It wasn’t anything too importa nt：I was just a carrier for the Scarborough Mirror，delivering newspapers every Wednesday and Friday．But it brought in a good amount of pocket money for a student like me．During the first week of September I planned to stop my job，as I wanted to focus on my academics with school to start．I found a family on my street who were willing to take over and so I took their names anti numbers and turned them in to my district representative along with my resignation．That was last week．This Tuesday came and I was supposed to get the newspapers to deliver on Wednesday．They didn’t come．I just assumed there probably wasn’t much to deliver so they would just give me everything tomorrow．It'd happened before so I wasn’t too worried．There was a seed of doubt，however，in my mind，that maybe the handover of this job wasmisunderstood．But I pushed that thought aside and just went on as usual．Wednesday morning came and the papers weren’t lying on my driveway as they’d done for the past 9 months．My mom reminded me to call my district representative，who told me the route had indeed been turned over to the other family．She couldn’t have understood my message when I said I would work until September．So much for 2 more weeks of work!In a way，I’m glad because I don’t have to worry abo ut delivering newspaper in the burning sun．On the other hand，I wasn’t ready to give up my job so early，so the unexpected loss was a tiny blow to me．Despite these negative feelings，I’m looking forward to the next summer when I’m getting promoted and my wage will rise from what I had with the job，which gave me good experience about hard work and chances to meet my neighbors．1．Why did the author plan to quit the job?A．He could barely put up with its hardship．B．He hoped to shift his attention to studies．C．He had earned enough to afford schooling．D．He desired to turn it over to a needy family．2．What does the underlined word“they”in paragraph 3 refer to?A．The family to replace me．B．Messages of my dismissal．C．The papers to be delivered．D．The district representatives．3．What d0 we know about the author?A．He got fired on account of his own fault．B．He didn’t have his potential appreciated．C．He didn’t submit his resignation as required．D．He had intended to stop the job in late September．4．In which aspect did the author benefit from the summer job?A．Learning to live with his personal imperfection．B．Establishing a closer tie with his community．C．Facilitating his organizational skills．D．Breaking the habit of laziness．（D）In the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, hundreds of journalists were holding lights, cameras and voice recorders as they tried to find strategic positions at group interviews.Each speaker was allowed only a short time. Everyone laughed because Professor Zhu Youyong carried along a big potato during his two minutes.“Farmers in China's poor areas can rely on agricultural science to strive for a well-off said the 63-year-old plant-disease expert.Professor Zhu is nicknamed “potato scholar”. Bom into a family of farmers in Yunnan, Zhu said he has an attachment with the land. Since 2016, Zhu's team has promoted agricultural science in Lancang, Yunnan province.Zhu said farmers in the area only planted rice once a year. After the harvest, the rice fields stayed unused for the entire winter. In 2016, his team launched a pilot program, a program which was used to test the idea of growing a late —season potato crop.Success soon arrived, with about 3.1 tons of potatoes harvested in a field covering just one mu （0.07 hectare）, which brought income to farmers of about 9,000 yuan （﹩I,420）. Then in 2017, Zhu expanded cultivation （栽培）in several villages in the county, benefiting more than 1,000 families.“We have set a goal of helping every poor farmer in the county to earn 10,000 yuan out of each mu of farmland cultivated each winter, so as to lift farmers out of poverty （贫困）," Zhu said."Ultimately, I am a fanner. Going back to the fields and seeing how my research changed the lives of farmers in China is the most important thing to me," he said.1. Why did Professor Zhu appear special at the group interviews?A. He was nicknamed “potato scholar”.B. He presented a big potato before the journalists.C. He occupied a good position for the interview.D. He was allowed to speak for a longer time.2. What does the underlined word “pilot" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Experimental.B. Advanced.C.

The efforts of Professor Zhu to fight poverty in Yunnan.D. The dream of Professor Zhu to beautify the countryside.（E）The great thing about libraries is that they house all types of books --- from mysteries to biography and dramas --- all in one location. The bad thing about libraries is that they house all types of books in one location, and if it's a location you cannot get to, you are out of luck. Now, mobile library solutions are appearing quickly around the country to bring books to people who need them.A few years ago, when the Little Free Libraries Movement kicked off, more people of all ages could have access to books. Now, more than 1,5000 free book stands can be found across the globe, bringing books to unexpected places. But many folks are simply not in a position to get to the places where the books are. Bookmobile buses are a good solution, but they can be expensive to fund and to operate.Books on Bikes programs are popping up in areas where there is a strong bike culture, in some regions like Seattle, or a strong need to bring books to the masses, for example, in San Francisco.The Seattle Public Library's Books on Bike program consists of three bike / trailer combos (组that librarians bring to community events. The trailers are even Wi-Fi enabled so that visitors can sign up for a library card and browse (浏览)the library's card catalogue on the spot.“Seattle has a really strong bike culture so we want to tap into that and provide full service library programs but do it in a way that is quick and smart,f, librarian Jared Mills said in an interview.San Francisco's program, called Bibliobicicleta, was launched in 2013 by librarian Alicia Tapia. Her trailer can hold about 100 books and attracts readers of all ages and income levels. It's an independent, donation-based library --- like a Little Free Library, but on wheels.When asked why she would start a free library on a bike, Tapia answers, “Why not? Bikes are cool, and can go anywhere.”1. What is the passage mainly about ?A. Free libraries on bikes.B. Unique bicycle cultures.C. Popular online libraries.D. Various library movements.2. The underlined words in paragraph 5 are closest in meaning to______________.A. come up withB. stay in touch withC. keep pace withD. take advantage of3. What did Tapia think of the program?A. Environment-friendly.B. Practical.C. Controversial.D. Profitable.（F）A 7-year-old girl in Idaho who has been fighting against cancer for three years has turned her 1,000th day of chemotherapy (化疗) into a celebration involving strangers across the country.Before the date, people from across the United States are mailing Zoe Ray cards to wish her well. "They say they care about me and they share stories of encouragement," Zoe said.Zoe was s when she fell and hit her head. Checking her for injuries, doctors discovered a tumor the size of a ping-pong ball in her head. She was diagnosed with optic nerve glioma (视神经胶质瘤), a rare brain tumor (肿瘤) that is near the nerve that connects the eye to the brain. Itslocation makes it impossible to remove by performing an operation, so Zoe began chemotherapy in late 2017 to try to make the tumor smaller, according to her doctor, Eugenia Chang.Zoe has gone through three different types of treatments, each with their own side effects (副作用).“All will decrease her energy and appetite and that in turn will cause some headaches," said Chang It's like having low-grade flu all the time." Zoe will have to continue chemotherapy throughout her childhood. The treatments also weaken her immune system (免疫系统).To make the day from a hardship to a milestone(里程碑). her family decided to ask their neighbors and friends to mail Zoe cards to cheer her up. Zoe has received nearly 500 cards from over two dozen states, leading her to set a new goal ahead of her 1,000th day of treatment. "I want to get 1,000 cards from all 50 states"" she said.Zoe's mom noticed improvement in Zoe.“She says her head doesn't hurt," said her mom.

高考英语阅读理解提分专练之记叙文（一）British children's writer Roald Dahl ate chocolates and sweets “pretty much every mealtime”, remembers daughter Ophelia Dahl.After dinner, whether dining alone or entertaining guests, Dahl would pass around a little red plastic box full of Mars Bars, Milky Ways, Maltesers, Kit Kats and much more.He knew the history of all the sweets and could tell you exactly when they were invented. 1937 was a big year when Kit Kats (his favorite), Rolos and Smarties (his dog, chopper's favorite) were invented. He wrote a history of chocolate, lecturing schoolchildren to commit such dates to memory（熟记）, such as 1928 when “Cadbury's Fruit and Nut Bar popped up on the scene”, saying. “Don't bother with the Kings and Queens of England. All of you should learn these dates instead. Perhaps the Headmistress（女校长）will see from now on that it becomes part of the major teaching in this school.”According to Dahl, the Golden Years of Chocolate were 1930-1937. In 1930, Roald Dahl was 14 years old. He was a student at Repton, a famous boys' boarding school in England. It was a tough environment: those in authority were more interested in controlling than educating the students.Ironically（讽刺地）, it was at this difficult period that chocolate became Dahl's passion. Near Repton was a Cadbury chocolate factory. Every so often, Cadbury would send each schoolboy a sampler（样品）box of new chocolates to taste and grade. They were using the students---“the greatest chocolate bar experts in the world to test out their new inventions.This was when Dahl's imagination took flight. He pictured factories with inventing rooms with pots of chocolate and fudge（软糖）and “all sorts of other delicious fillings bubbling away on the stoves”.“It was lovely dreaming those dreams…when I was looking for a plot for my second book for children. I remembered those little cardboard boxes（纸盒）and the newly invented chocolates inside them, and I began to write a book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”For the record, Roald Dahl did not like chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream. He said, “I prefer my chocolate straight.”（1）What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce the main topic---Roald Dahl.B. To introduce Dahl's love for chocolate.C. To introduce main character's daily life.D. To introduce some important characters. （2）What can we infer from the passage about Roald Dahl?A. He treated himself with various chocolate after dinner secretly.B. He has a good knowledge of chocolate, especially its history.C. He used to lecture schoolchildren of a boys' boarding school.D. He only wrote some books related to the history of chocolate.（3）What happened during the Golden Years of Chocolate?A. It was a great time for children to get educated.B. Those years stopped Dahl's interest in chocolate.C. Students could become chocolate experts then.D. Roald Dahl's passion for chocolate was lit up then.（4）________ gave Roald Dahl inspiration to write Charlie and Chocolate Factory.A. the dream about chocolates.B. Factories with chocolate and fudge.C. Those boxes with chocolate.D. Chocolate cakes and ice cream（二）He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has r ested there ever since.But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer.Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared theDNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer, "They've taken care of him for 90 years."Adapted from People, November 25, 2002（1）The baby traveled on the Titanic with his __________.A. auntB. parentsC. motherD. relatives（2）What is probably the boy's last name?A.

The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man.The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the violin. It sounded more pleasant than ever.Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake.Please come to claim (认领) it soon.”After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, “Yes, it's you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here.” The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr George Sang?” The man nodded. The violinist asked, “Did you lose something?”“It's a lottery ticket,” said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang's name was seen. “Is it?” he asked. George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist.The violinist was a student at an arts college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. Later his classmate asked the violinist, “At that time you needed money to pay the tuition and you had to play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn't you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?”The violinist said, “Although I don't have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty I won't be happy forever.” Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us.（1）What did the young artist do at the railway station on Friday?A. He played the violin to make some money.B. He waited for the train to Vienna.C.

The foam missed Discovery, but NASA grounded all shuttle flights until engineers fix the problem.NASA ground crews examined Discovery after its return from orbit and found it in good condition, an official said Wednesday at NASA‟s Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California.Technicians counted 101 dings and divots, including 20 that were larger than 1 inch. Schaaf Dean, landing support group chief, said the numbers were similar to the results of other shuttle, post-landing examinations.A beginning examination of the shuttle’s thermal（热的）blanket showed it remained undamaged during re-en-try into the Earth’s air.(Agencies)（1）The seven astronauts .A. are the first to take a space shuttle into orbitB. took the Columbia into spaceC. returned to earth safelyD. are Americans（2）According to the text, the NASA officials think .A. the flight of Discovery is a failureB. manned space flight has been through the best in the pastC. the flight of Discovery is a successD. the astronauts are national heroes（3）When the Discovery took off, .A. the fuel tank burnedB. a piece of foam insulation fellC. the safety belt is not fixedD. it knocked into the Columbia（4）The underlined word “grounded” means .A. (of a boat) hit the bottom of a sea and be unable to moveB. to cause a boat to hit the bottom of a sea or lakeC. to prevent a plane or person from flyingD. to be based on something（六）It was a weeknight. We were a half dozen guys in our late teens, hanging around “the flat” —as usual. The flat was poorly furnished, which, after some time, grew tiresome. We wanted action.We got in a car, big enough for all of us to crowd into —and off we went, in search of adventure. We soon found ourselves at Blue Gum Corner, a place named after the huge old blue gum tree that stood by there, a well-known local landmark. It stands at a minor crossroad leading to our town. The trunk is tall and smooth with no handholds for climbing. About six metres from the ground the first branch sticks out over the road. We parked beneath the huge old tree and discussed what we might do. All of a sudden we hit upon an idea — a hanging! I was chosen as “hangee”.The plan was quite simple. As I stood upon the roof of the car, the rope (绳子) was threaded down my jacket through my collar and down one leg of my jeans. I put my foot through the loopat the bottom. There I hung, still. The boys rolled about laughing until, a car, I hear a car! Before they ran to hide in the nearby field, they gave me a good push so that “the body” would swing as the car drove by.To our disappointment, the car simply turned off for town without even slowing. The boys came out of their hiding places and we discussed the situation. Surely they had seen me, hadn't they? Then we heard another car. The act was repeated, but still without any obvious reaction. We played the game about five or six times, but as no one seemed to notice, we abandoned the trick.What we did not know was that every car that had passed had unquestionably seen “the body” and each one, too scared to stop, had driven directly to the local Police Station. Now at that time of the night, the local policeman was sound asleep in his bed, so the first person sent to the scene was the traffic officer that happened to be on duty that particular night. He had been informed that some person had been killed, by hanging, at Blue Gum Corner. When he arrived, the body was gone! And he was hearing “unnatural sounds” from the surrounding area. As far as he knew, some fierce animal was hiding in the field before him, possibly dragging a body behind him — and we thought we were scared!He went to his radio and made a call that really began to worry us. I lay so close that I could hear every word. He called for the “armed police” and a “dog team, better make it two” and he had a “serious situation” at Blue Gum Corner. Then the police officer arrived. After a briefing from the traffic officer he decided not to go into the field until armed police and dog teams arrived. Now two spotlights were on the field and none of us could move.As luck would have it, police cars cannot leave their spotlights on all night without charging their batteries. So, after a time, the two officers began lightening the field by turns, allowing us the opportunity to move on our fours for freedom. One by one, we all managed to steal away and make our way home. Behind us we left what must have looked like a small city of lights, police cars, roadblocks, barking dogs, armed officers and an old rope hanging from a tree.When I think back to that night, to that tree, to what the drivers of the cars think happened, to what police believe happened, and to what I know happened, I am reminded of a simple truth —our eyes see darkness and light, color and movement, our ears hear only vibrations (振动) in the air. It is how we explain these vivid pictures that shapes our “reality”.（1）The boys made the “hanging” plan in order to ______.A. make a fool of the policeB. draw public attentionC. seek fun and excitementD. practise acting skills（2）Seeing that no car passing by stopped, the boys must have felt ______.A. discouragedB. proudC. annoyedD. confident （3）Why was the traffic officer sent to the scene of “hanging”?A. Because a fierce animal kept the traffic in disorder.B. Because the local policeman was not available at that time.C. Because some naughty kids were playing a terrifying game.D. Because many scared drivers turned directly to him for help.（4）The boys managed to escape from the field when ______.A. the two police cars were being chargedB. the police officer was taking over the dutyC. the traffic officer was making a call for helpD. the two spotlights were not working together（5）What is conveyed in the passage?A. Actions speak louder than words.B. The truth lies beneath the surface.C. Experience is the best teacher.D. To see is to believe.（6）What would be the best title for the passage?A. Blue Gum TreeB. A Body Found HangingC. Escape to FreedomD. A Disappointing Experience（七）I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let's take a look at three types of “waits”.The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline.Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.”I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn't come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don't be desperate. You're probably just as busy as the next guy.（1）While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ___________.A. keep ourselves busyB. get absent-mindedC. grow anxiousD. stay focused （2）What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?\A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control.B. The Forced Wait makes people passive.C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.（3）What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B. It doesn't always bring the desired result.C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D. It doesn't give people faith and hope.（4）What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?A. Take it seriously.B. Don't rely on others.C.

Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It's the ocean that makes Rockaway so special, ” she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie's family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city's bridge closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie's friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie's school was so damaged that she had to temporarily(临时地，暂时地) attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. V olunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.“My mom tells me that I can't control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can a lways choose how I deal with it. ”Natalie's choice was to help.She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick's collection was replaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can't imagine living anywhere but Rockaway, ” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before. ”（1）When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane , she found______.A. her neighborhood was seriously damagedB. some friends had lost their livesC. her school had moved to BrooklynD. the elderly were free from suffering（2）According to paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?A.

Oh, the satisfaction in our young hearts—a green elephant tie!With his glasses at the tip of his nose, he greeted us cheerfully, “Good morning, folks!” He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us. He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met.I loved music, so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons. But when he turned on the music, my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the sound of… Feter Paul and Mary singing “If I Had a Hammer”.Snickers（窃笑）filled the room. If it wasn't rap or hip hop, we didn't recognize it. What were these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all. But for me, a girl of 12, it was a discovery. An awakening.Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musical-note shirts as I greet them with a joyful, “Good morning, class!” I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music clothes I will wear each day.I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award, which I received for being a dynamic teacherAnd I smile to myself, wondering which child in front of me will carry this on－as I've carried on the legacy（遗产）of Mr. Miller.One teacher, who dared to be different and open new worlds to kids like me, threw the significant stone into the pond of my life.

But these are not the imaginings of a dreamer. For the 28-year-old CEO of Trenton, New Jersey-based TerraCycle, they're a business model.The fast-talking Szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling（升级改造）. Instead of recycling (shredding or breaking down materials and enabling them to be reproduced as other products), TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills（废物填埋地）and reuses it - more or less whole. TerraCycle's 85 employees make nearly 200 products, sold at shops such as Petco, Kmart, Whole Foods Market, and Target.Szaky's $7.4 million company, now also moving ahead in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom and Brazil, is quite different from the business he founded with classmate Jon Beyer in 2002 as a freshman at Princeton University. The two entered a business competition with a plan to sell organic plant fertilizers made from worm waste. They lost the competition, but started the business anyway.With their goal - to make products entirely out of rubbish - suddenly clear, Szaky knew the。
