（2022·重庆市育才中学二模）Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), perhaps the most famous artist in the world, is perceived by many as the “mad” artist. His artistic genius is often overshadowed by those who see his paintings as only visual expressions of his troubled mind. While in part this may be true, in reality his innovative and unique artistic style was of enormous importance to a host of artists who followed in his wake. Even when openly influenced by his predecessors or contemporaries (前辈或同辈), his art remained identifiably his own, developing a distinctive style that failed to be accepted by the art-buying public in his own time. The career of Vincent van Gogh as a painter was short, but his extraordinary boldness of his technique created masterpieces that exercise a profound influence on the art of the twentieth century.
Although the artist’s first formal job after leaving school was art-related, he did not actually begin painting until years later. At 16, Vincent van Gogh entered an apprenticeship (学徒身份) at his uncle’s branch of Goupil & Cie, a Paris-based art dealership. The position involved travel and certainly exposure to the contemporary art of his day, but van Gogh would move on to religious work and a bookseller before producing the first Van Gogh painting.
His earliest works, completed from 1881 through 1883, reflect a new-comer’s attention to detail as well as hints of the new genius that would fully emerge in his later paintings. Although his sketches and watercolor drawings may, at first glance, seem two-dimensional and amateurish, they are fascinating in terms of their testament to the van Gogh’s early studies in Realism.
Vincent van Gogh produced his first drawings while staying at his parents’ home in Etten, the Netherlands, schooled chiefly by books on artistic technique. The artist restricted his first drawings to a black and white palette (调色板), believing mastery of this discipline to be essential before attempting works in color.
1. Why do many people think of van Gogh as a mad artist according to paragraph 1?
A. Because his artistic style failed to be accepted by the public.
B. Because his art was openly influenced by others and lacked his own style.
C. Because his paintings proved to be untrue from the perspective of reality.
D. Because his painting were often seen as confusing expressions of his mind.
2. What does paragraph 2 mainly want to tell us?
A. Vincent van Gogh was rarely exposed to art before producing paintings.
B. Vincent van Gogh lived a miserable life before becoming a painter.
C. Vincent van Gogh experienced many different jobs before painting.
D. Vincent van Gogh was also successful in many other fields besides art.
3. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs of the text?
A. Vincent van Gogh had difficulty in distinguishing different colors.
B. Vincent van Gogh had great abilities in teaching and training himself.
C. People thought highly of Vincent van Gogh’s earliest works at first sight.
D. Vincent van Gogh preferred staying at home to going to school while drawing.
4. What is probably the author’s attitude towards Vincent van Gogh?
A. Appreciative. B. Suspicious.
C. Objective. D. Confused.
【答案与解析】这是一篇记叙文。作为世界级画坛巨匠，梵高的作品一直受世人追捧，本文简要地描述了一些梵高的绘画与生活。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), perhaps the most famous artist in the world, is perceived by many as the “mad” artist. His artistic genius is often overshadowed by those who see his paintings as only visual expressions of his troubled mind. (文森特·梵高(1853-1890)，也许是世界上最著名的艺术家，被许多人视为“疯狂”的艺术家。他的艺术天才常常被那些认为他的画只是他困惑的心灵的视觉表达的人所掩盖)”可知，有些人时常把他的绘画看成只是对他困扰的心灵视觉上的表达，这使他的艺术天赋被蒙上了阴影，因此他被很多人视为“疯狂”的艺术家。故选D项。
2. 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Although the artist’s first formal job after leaving school was art-related, he did not actually begin painting until years later. At 16, Vincent van Gogh entered an apprenticeship (学徒身份) at his uncle’s branch of Goupil & Cie, a Paris-based art dealership. The position involved travel and certainly exposure to the contemporary art of his day, but van Gogh would move on to religious work and a bookseller before producing the first Van Gogh painting. (虽然这位艺术家离开学校后的第一份正式工作与艺术有关，但他实际上直到多年后才开始画画。16岁时，文森特·梵高在他叔叔的巴黎艺术品经销店Goupil & Cie分店当学徒。这个职位需要旅行，当然也要接触他那个时代的当代艺术，但梵高在创作梵高的第一幅画之前，还从事了宗教工作和书商工作)”内容可知，第二段主要说明文森特·梵高在画画之前从事过很多不同的工作。故选C项。
3. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“...schooled chiefly by books on artistic technique. The artist restricted his first drawings to a black and white palette (调色板), believing mastery of this discipline to be essential before attempting works in color.(……主要通过艺术技巧书籍学习。这位艺术家将他最初的画作限制在黑白调色板上，认为在尝试彩色作品之前，掌握这一学科是必不可少的)”可以推断出，梵高是个自学能力强，并且在绘画技艺训练上有自己的方法，在自学和自我训练方面有很强的能力。故选B项。
4. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“While in part this may be true, in reality his innovative and unique artistic style was of enormous importance to a host of artists who followed in his wake. ... but his extraordinary boldness of his technique created masterpieces that exercise a profound influence on the art of the twentieth century. (虽然这在某种程度上可能是真的，但实际上，他的创新和独特的艺术风格对许多追随他的艺术家来说是非常重要的……但他非凡的大胆创作手法，创造了对20世纪艺术产生深远影响的杰作)”可知，作者对于梵高的艺术风格和技艺给予了很高的评价，由此推知，作者是欣赏梵高的。故选A项。

（2022·重庆市育才中学模拟预测）Some of us love to buy a little treat every now and then. Others? They can’t help but order something nearly every day of the week. However, there was a different kind of package about to arrive at this door as this woman’s birthday meant one thing: a wonderful cake.
Emily and Mac have been together for the last 19 years and have been married for 12. Although Emily admitted the pair have a strong relationship, she said that Mac hasn’t always been the best at buying gifts. Apparently, he doesn’t usually plan any surprises.
Mac soon realized there were more and more parcels turning up at their door, and there was only one person to blame: Emily. It looks as though her online spending habits had gotten out of control. Little did Emily know, but this was the start of a grand idea.
Emily came home to find a new package on her doorstep. Only this time, it wasn’t an Amazon box, but a birthday cake! Emily was completely fooled by the cake thanks to the realistic packaging tape and posting note, but soon realized the truth when she cut into the side.
In fact, Emily was so impressed with the creation that she wanted to meet the bakery behind the cake. That was none other than the Sweet Dreams Bakery of Dunn. Amazingly, the cake cost only $50, but the thought behind the design meant everything to Emily.
Sometimes, it can feel as though our partners are never listening to what we have to say. However, they occasionally notice things about us that even we didn’t realize. Emily’s online shopping might have seemed normal, but it was the start of the greatest cake design she’d seen.
5. What does Emily usually think of Mac?
A. He doesn’t really love his wife very much.
B. He doesn’t buy her any surprising gift.
C. He doesn’t want to spend much on her gifts.
D. He doesn’t like any shopping on line.
6. What is the new package like?
A. It is a traditional birthday cake.
B. It is a common online shopping package.
C. It is a cake looking like a normal package.
D. It is an expensive cake with a special taste.
7. How would Emily feel after she received the gift?
A. Ashamed. B. Regretful.
C. Disappointed. D. Amazed.
8. What can we learn from the story?
A. Thoughtfulness and creativity makes wonder.
B. A good wife makes a good husband.
C. Actions really speak louder than words.
D. Love is just a kind of madness.
【答案与解析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了艾米丽在生日这天收到了一个特别的包裹，一个来自于他不会制造惊喜的丈夫的礼物，一块美妙的生日蛋糕。
5. 细节理解题。由文章第二段后半部分“Although Emily admitted the pair have a strong relationship, she said that Mac hasn't always been the best at buying gifts. Apparently, he doesn't usually plan any surprises.（虽然艾米丽承认这对夫妇的关系很好，但她说，麦克并不总是最擅长买礼物。显然，他通常不计划任何惊喜。）”可知，Emily认为她的丈夫没给她买什么惊喜的礼物。故选B项。
6. 细节理解题。由第四段“Emily came home to find a new package on her doorstep. Only this time, it wasn't an Amazon box, but a birthday cake! Emily was completely fooled by the cake thanks to the realistic packaging tape and posting note, but soon realized the truth when she cut into the side.（艾米丽回到家，发现她的门阶上有一个新的包裹。只是这一次，它不是一个亚马逊盒子，而是一个生日蛋糕! 多亏了逼真的包装胶带和邮寄纸条，艾米丽完全被蛋糕所迷惑，但当她切开蛋糕的侧面时，很快就明白了真相。）”可知，新包装看起来像普通包装的蛋糕。故选C项。
7. 推理判断题。由第二段后半部分“she said that Mac hasn’t always been the best at buying gifts. Apparently, he doesn’t usually plan any surprises.（但她说，麦克并不总是最擅长买礼物。显然，他通常不计划任何惊喜。）”根据倒数第二段“In fact, Emily was so impressed with the creation that she wanted to meet the bakery behind the cake.”（事实上，艾米丽对这个创意印象深刻，她想见见蛋糕背后的面包店。）根据最后一段“However, they occasionally notice things about us that even we didn’t realize.”（然而，他们偶尔会注意到一些连我们都没有意识到的事情）可知，Emily认为Mac不会制造惊奇，由此可以推断，这次收到的蛋糕让她意想不到，所以她会感到惊喜。故选D项。
8. 推理判断题。从整个故事以及最后一段“Sometimes, it can feel as though our partners are never listening to what we have to say. However, they occasionally notice things about us that even we didn't realize.（有时，我们会觉得我们的伴侣好像从来没有听过我们说什么。然而，他们偶尔会注意到一些连我们都没有意识到的事情）”可知，Mac在妻子生日送蛋糕是体贴，注意到妻子喜欢网购，所以这件礼物外形像网购包裹，内容却是生日蛋糕，这可有创意了。故通过这个故事学到了体贴和创意制造出了惊喜。故选A项。

（2022·新疆·二模）Saltwater crocodiles are the largest reptile in the world and can eat large prey(猎物). They hide at the edge of the water, waiting for prey. Then, without warning, they lunge. They grab their prey in their powerful jaws and drag it under water. Saltwater crocodiles don’t often miss their target.
One day, David George found himself in a swamp. It was the home of saltwater crocodiles. David knew they were there because he could see their tracks.
David thought his only chance of survival was to climb a tree and tie himself to a branch. Two big saltwater crocodiles, however, waited under the tree. He would have to come down sometime!
At night, David could see their red eyes and hear them bellowing.
Days went by, David climbed higher in the tree and made a platform of sticks to lie on. He finished his two meat sandwiches.
David could hear helicopters, but it was hard for anyone to see him. He hung toilet paper over the tree and waved his shirt like a flag. He tried to make a flash of light by holding a tin box towards the sun.
After six days in the tree, David was seen at last and was winched away from the stalking crocodiles.
David was one of the luckiest survivors. However, animals don’t usually attack people for no reason. A very hungry animal might attack something that looks like food. Most animals are very protective of their young. If anything comes close, they will attack to defend their family. Many animals attack to protect their territory.
It is very important for people to know animals. People need to know why animals can be dangerous.
9. Which of the following best describes saltwater crocodiles according to the first paragraph?
A. Slow and cold-blooded. B. Quick and poisonous.
C. Hairy and ugly. D. Cruel and dangerous.
10. What does the underlined word “swamp" mean?
A. A flat area higher than the ground. B. Land that an animal thinks of as its own.
C. Very wet, flooded ground. D. A long body part around the mouth.
11. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Understand animals. B. Protect animals.
C. Keep yourself away from animals. D. Be friendly to animals.
12. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. In Saltwater Croc Territory B. A Long Wait
C. Saltwater Crocodiles D. A Lucky Survivor
【答案与解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了David被困在生活着鳄鱼的沼泽中的大树上，六天后成功获救的故事。
9. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“They hide at the edge of the water, waiting for prey. Then, without warning, they lunge. They grab their prey in their powerful jaws and drag it under water. Saltwater crocodiles don’t often miss their target.(它们躲在水边，等待猎物。然后，毫无预兆地冲出来，用强有力的下颌抓住猎物，把它拖到水下。咸水鳄鱼通常不会错过目标)”可知，咸水鳄鱼既残暴又危险。故选 D。
10. 词句猜测题。根据第二段第二句“It was the home of saltwater crocodiles.(这是咸水鳄鱼的住所)”可知，David George发现自己来到了咸水鳄鱼居住的地方，由此可知划线“swamp”是指咸水鳄鱼的住所，结合常识可知，C项“Very wet, flooded ground(潮湿，被水淹没的地面)”符合鳄鱼的习性，划线词“swamp”意为“沼泽”。故选C。
11. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is very important for people to know animals. People need to know why animals can be dangerous.(对人们来说，了解动物是非常重要的。人们需要知道为什么动物是危险的)”可知，作者希望人们可以了解动物。故选A。
12. 主旨大意题。根据文章讲述David被困在生活着鳄鱼的沼泽中的大树上，六天后成功获救的故事，结合倒数第二段第一句“David was one of the luckiest survivors.(David是最幸运的幸存者之一)”可知，D项“A Lucky Survivor(幸运的幸存者)”适合作为本文标题。故选D。

（2022·天津市新华中学模拟预测）When Katie Stagliano grew a 40-pound cabbage, she didn’t know that she was beginning to develop a dream as well. When the 10-year-old girl from Summerville, South Carolina realized how much cabbage was in her garden, she decided to donate it to needy families by working with Fields to Families, a nonprofit organization based in South Carolina that gives the hungry access to nutritious fruits and vegetables.
Katie’s cabbage fed nearly 300 people and inspired her to learn more about childhood hunger in the United States. On discovering that more than 12 million kids in the United States go to bed hungry each night, Katie decided to take action.
Her first task was to work together with her family to expand their own garden so that they could donate more vegetables to needy families. But beyond her own backyard, she wanted to teach other children how to get involved. To grow her idea, she started the planting of a garden at her school, which also donates its fresh produce to local food agencies. Through a generous donation from Fields to Families, Katie’s school is receiving seeds and volunteer help, and Katie will get the chance to work there with a master gardener as her teacher!
Katie also designed her very own “No Hungry Children” T-shirt, which is available for purchase online. A part of the proceeds from her T-shirt sales economically supports Katie’s efforts, as well as the work of Amazing Kids, a nonprofit organization that focuses on the dreams of kids like Katie.
“I think it is important to have something to strive for,” says Katie. “By planting a garden or just some seeds in a pot you can make a difference. My cabbage alone fed 275 people. If more kids did the same, we all could be helping to make a long-time dream of no hungry people possible.”

13. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“When the 10-year-old girl from Summerville, South Carolina realized how much cabbage was in her garden, she decided to donate it to needy families by working with Fields to Families”（当这个来自南卡罗来纳州萨默维尔的10岁女孩意识到她的菜园里有这么多卷心菜时，她决定与非营利组织Fields to families合作，把这些卷心菜捐给贫困家庭。）以及最后一段中“I think it is important to have something to strive for,” says Katie. “By planting a garden or just some seeds in a pot you can make a difference. My cabbage alone fed 275 people. If more kids did the same, we all could be helping to make a long-time dream of no hungry people possible.”（我认为有奋斗的目标是很重要的，凯蒂说。“在花园里种些种子，或者在花盆里种些种子，你就能有所作为。仅我的卷心菜就能养活275人。如果更多的孩子这样做，我们都可以帮助实现一个长期的梦想，没有饥饿的人可能。）可知，文章主要讲述的是10岁的凯蒂·斯塔利亚诺与饥饿作斗争的故事。故选C项。

15. 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“which is available for purchase online”（可以在网上购买）以及“from her T-shirt sales economically supports Katie’s efforts”（用于资助凯蒂的努力）故可推测，proceeds一词为“销售额，利润”的意思，结合选项B profits“利润”意思一致。故选B项。

（2022·江西九江·二模）Growing up on a farm in northeastern Brazil, I was the first and only person in my family to graduate from high school and pursue higher education. My parents worked on a small farm inherited (继承) from my grandparents. I helped out when I was not in school.
My parents always had a close relationship with nature, so they knew the exact time of year to plant or pick certain fruits. I learned from my parents about the large bees that frequented one of our fruit crops—mangangava, we called them. This was the main reason I became interested in biology.
In college, as a black student, from a rural community, I did not see myself in my professors, most of whom were white and spoke with a different accent. Even if I studied for several hours per day, I fell behind peers who came from private schools. The feeling of not belonging circled in my head. I sometimes thought about giving up.
But one day, when I was asked to give a presentation about bees, I didn’t mention their familiar name; instead I used formal terms when describing their adaptations for pollinating (授粉). I was afraid of being judged for expressing my personal knowledge in a science class. But one of the instructors pressed me to tell the class whether I’d seen the bees myself and what I called them and said tapping into my personal experiences would help me grasp the scientific concepts. No other professors had shown that kind of sensitivity. The instructor made it clear that he valued what I’d learned from my family and from my personal experiences on the farm and that I didn’t need to hide who I truly am.
I’m now a master’s student in education, working on a project that explores the connection between science and traditional knowledge. I don’t think I’d be here today if I hadn’t crossed paths with that instructor. We need more educators and scientists like him, who serves as a role model and knows that the best way to allow students to be themselves.
18. What does “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The fruits. B. My parents.
C. The large bees. D. The fruit crops.
19. Why did the author want to give up at first?
A. He was not attached to his professors. B. He had difficulty fitting in.
C. He was always looked down upon. D. He was busy studying everyday.
20. Why did the author use formal terms in his presentation?
A. To express his personal knowledge. B. To avoid being criticized by others.
C. To grasp the scientific concepts. D. To show who he truly is.
21. Which of the following words can best describe the instructor?
A. Indifferent and selfish. B. Knowledgeable and ambitious.
C. Courageous and generous. D. Professional and kind.
【答案与解析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一名来自农村社区的黑人学生，在进入大学之后，因为身边大多是白人，说话的口音也不一样，同时学习也落后于同龄人，导致作者他很难适应新的环境，有时想放弃。然而，在教授的鼓励和支持下，作者坚定自我，成为一名教育学硕士。
18. 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“I learned from my parents about the large bees that frequented one of our fruit crops—mangangava, we called them.（我从父母那里了解到大蜜蜂经常出没于我们的一种水果作物——我们叫它们mangangava）”以及第四段的“But one day, when I was asked to give a presentation about bees, I didn’t mention their familiar name（但是有一天，当我被要求做一个关于蜜蜂的报告时，我没有提到它们熟悉的名字）”可知，“them”指代上句中的“the large bees ”，故选C。
19. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The feeling of not belonging circled in my head. I sometimes thought about giving up.（没有归属感的感觉萦绕在我的脑海里。我有时想放弃）”可知作者很难适应新的环境。故选B。
20. 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“I didn’t mention their familiar name; instead I used formal terms when describing their adaptations for pollinating (授粉). I was afraid of being judged for expressing my personal knowledge in a science class.（我没有提到它们熟悉的名字。相反，在描述它们对授粉的适应时，我使用了正式的术语。我害怕在科学课上因表达个人知识而受到评判）”可知，作者在他的陈述中使用正式的术语，以避免受到别人的批评。故选B。
21. 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“But one of the instructors pressed me to tell the class whether I’d seen the bees myself and what I called them and said tapping into my personal experiences would help me grasp the scientific concepts. No other professors had shown that kind of sensitivity. The instructor made it clear that he valued what I’d learned from my family and from my personal experiences on the farm and that I didn’t need to hide who I truly am.（但其中一位老师要求我告诉全班同学我是否亲眼见过蜜蜂，以及我对它们的称呼，并说利用我的个人经验将有助于我掌握科学概念。没有其他教授表现出这种敏感性。老师表示他非常重视从我从家庭和农场经历中学到的东西。并表示没有必要隐瞒真实的自己）”以及文章最后一段“I don’t think I’d be here today if I hadn’t crossed paths with that instructor. We need more educators and scientists like him, who serves as a role model and knows that the best way to allow students to be themselves.（如果不是遇到了那个老师，我想我今天不会站在这里。我们需要更多像他这样的教育家和科学家，他作为一个榜样，知道让学生做自己的最好方法）”推知，老师是专业和亲切的。故选D。

（2022·北京市第一三二中学一模）To the untrained eye, a pingpong ball is just a pingpong ball. To a Beverly Cleary fan, it’s two motorcycle helmets for mice.
Ever since I read Cleary’s series about Ralph, the motorcycle—riding mouse, I’ve never looked at a pingpong ball—or the world—the same way. Amazing to think that it’s been more than forty years since I checked out The Mouse and the Motorcycle from my school library in Northport, and yet that one particular image is as clear to me as ever.
And why shouldn’t it be? It’s perfect.
How I wanted a mouse of my own to ride a toy motorcycle around my house! Thanks to Cleary’s genius, a talking mouse friend seemed not only possible but probable.
While much of children’s literature attempted to explain the world from the point of view of a wise and gentle adult, Cleary created characters who saw the world as only children can. With great interest, I read every book that bore Beverly Cleary’s name. She seemed like a friend who understood me in ways I didn’t yet understand myself.
I’ve written eight children’s books and have always kept Beverly’s sense of wonder in mind. I don’t remember at exactly what age I decided I wanted to write books, but I know that by second or third grade, my teacher assigned a project that allowed us to focus on whatever we wanted. My best friend picked dolphins; I chose children’s authors, with a large chunk of my project being about who else? Beverly Cleary!
I told that story recently to a school group. One of the students said, “That’s fantastic! You’re your project on children’s authors and then you became one!”
“Yes,” I said. “And my best friend who did her project on dolphins—became a dolphin!”
“Really?” the students said in chorus.
And that perfectly sums up why I love writing for children: the belief that fantastic, magical things can happen. Best friends can become dolphins; mice can ride toy motorcycles and become our friends.
That’s what Beverly Cleary taught me. In the hands of a gifted storyteller, anything is possible... and so very funny.
22. The Mouse and the Motorcycle impressed the author mainly because .
A. it recorded animals’ life
B. it revealed the wisdom of life
C. it encouraged children to raise pets
D. it described the world from children’s eyes
23. When learning the author’s friend became a dolphin, the students felt________.
A. amazed B. doubtful C. scared D. confused
24. What is the passage mainly about?
A. What the author created to attract children.
B. What the author did to turn impossible into possible.
C. How Beverly Cleary aroused children’s interest in reading.
D. How the author was inspired to be a writer by Beverly Cleary.
【答案与解析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者是如何受到贝弗利·克利里的启发成为一名作家的。
22. 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Ever since I read Cleary’s series about Ralph, the motorcycle—riding mouse, I’ve never looked at a pingpong ball—or the world—the same way. （自从我读了克利里关于骑摩托车的老鼠拉尔夫的系列小说后，我就再也没有以同样的方式看待过乒乓球——或者世界）”第五段的“While much of children’s literature attempted to explain the world from the point of view of a wise and gentle adult, Cleary created characters who saw the world as only children can. With great interest, I read every book that bore Beverly Cleary’s name.（很多儿童文学作品都试图从一个聪明、温柔的成年人的角度来解释世界，而克利里创作的人物则以只有儿童才能看到的视角来看待世界。带着极大的兴趣，我读了每一本写着贝弗利·克利里名字的书）”可知，The Mouse and the Motorcycle令作者印象深刻是因为它从儿童的视角来描述世界。故选D。
23. 推理判断题。根据倒数第四和第三段““And my best friend who did her project on dolphins—became a dolphin!”“Really?” the students said in chorus.（‘我最好的一个做海豚项目的朋友变成了一只海豚!’‘真的吗?’学生们异口同声地说）”推知，当孩子们得知作者的一个朋友变成了海豚时他们感到很惊讶。故选A。
24. 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其倒数第六段的“I’ve written eight children’s books and have always kept Beverly’s sense of wonder in mind.（我已经写了八本儿童读物，并一直将贝弗利的好奇心铭记在心）”和“I chose children’s authors, with a large chunk of my project being about who else? Beverly Cleary!（我选择了儿童作家，我的项目很大一部分是关于贝弗利·克利里！）”和最后一段“That’s what Beverly Cleary taught me. In the hands of a gifted storyteller, anything is possible... and so very funny.（这是贝弗利·克利里教我的。在一个有天赋的小说家手中，一切皆有可能，并且非常有趣）”可知，本文主要讲述了作者是如何受到贝弗利·克利里的启发成为一名作家的。故选D。

（2022·辽宁·模拟预测）I opened the freezer and put in the cake—a sheet cake with my son's name in red and black frosting—the colors of the University of UGA, where Laughlin, my youngest, would graduate in May.
But now there would be no graduation because of the pandemic (流行病). I had been looking forward to Laughlin's graduation. I'm a UGA graduate, too, but I didn't attend my graduation ceremony because I received an Army commission (任命) as an air defense officer.
“No graduation!” I said, a bit annoyed that my son, finishing coursework at home, didn't seem bothered. “I need to focus on my classes and get a job, Mom,” he said. But Laughlin didn't know what he was missing. Years later, I still regretted skipping my UGA ceremony. I'd been planning the celebrations for Laughlin since January.
Every day the pandemic worsened. Then, one day, Laughlin's diploma arrived in a black-and-red tube by mail. I pulled the cake out of the freezer and served it halfheartedly. Laughlin found a job and moved to Atlanta to live alone.
One fall evening, a student called from the UGA. “Did your son participate in the graduation ceremony last week?” the young man asked. “What ceremony?” I screamed. “The one at the stadium,” the student said. “To make up for the cancellation in spring.”
I dialed the office of the dean of student affairs. “Why wasn't I notified?” “Mrs. Smith, we sent an announcement to your son's school email,” said the woman who took my call.
I called up Laughlin. “Why didn't you call me?” I asked. “Mom, I did hear about the ceremony and I knew you'd make me go, so I didn't say anything. Why would I risk my family's life for a ceremony? You and Dad are in a vulnerable age group. No way would I do that.”
Laughlin's diploma rested beside the phone. I felt tears in my eyes.

No way would I do that.”(我打电话给劳克林。“你为什么不打电话给我？”我问。“妈妈，我确实听说了这个仪式，我知道你会让我去的，所以我什么也没说。我为什么要为了一个仪式拿我家人的生命冒险？你和爸爸处在一个脆弱的年龄段。我不会那么做的。”)”可知，因为疫情，Laughlin担心父母的健康而选择不告诉母亲毕业典礼的事。同时根据最后一段最后一句“I felt tears in my eyes.(我觉得眼里含着泪水。)”可推知，Mrs. Smith被儿子的话感动了。故选A。

（2022·陕西安康·二模）Getting mixed families together isn’t always an easy task and some children can be left feeling hurt or angry when their parents remarry. But one woman has made sure her new stepson knows exactly how much she appreciates him, by dedicating part of her wedding vows (誓言) to him.
Vanessa Lynch, 30, became stepmum to nine-year-old Henry when she tied the knot with Craig Lynch and after making her vows to her new husband, she turned her attention to the young boy.

I promise to love you as if you were my own and lastly I promise I will be the best wife for your dad and I promise to be the best stepmum I can be for you.”

Vanessa also had a stepdad growing up and chose to walk down the aisle with both her biological dad and her stepdad to show that family doesn’t just mean blood relatives. She said, “I come from a mixed family, so I wanted to show how stepparents should treat stepchildren as though they were their own children. You don’t share blood with someone, but it does not mean you cannot be a family. It all comes from love you hold for a person and what you commit to one another.”
29. How did Vanessa show her care for her stepson？

（2022·甘肃陇南·模拟预测）On January 9, 2022, it was another cold morning. Temperatures reached lows of 17. 6 °F (-8℃). Dusti Talavera, a housewife in the south suburbs of Denver, was washing dishes in her kitchen when she witnessed a frightening scene outside her kitchen window. Glancing out her kitchen window, she noticed a group of young children playing on an icy pond. Moments later, the children fell through the ice.
Dusti’s heart raced as she saw the children fall through the ice, and she immediately grabbed her shoes to run outside. Submerged（淹没）in the freezing water, the children had lost the strength to stay above the surface. Their fingers were only visible as they desperately tried to grab onto the edges of the ice.
Without hesitation, Dusti placed her own life at risk by stepping on the thin, unstable ice to try to reach the three children. As she reached her hands out to grab them, she also broke the ice and fell into the 15-foot deep pond.
Dusti was first able to reach and pull out the 4-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy. She struggled to reach the last child, a 6-year-old girl. After hearing the loud screams for help, the young girl’s 16-year-old cousin suddenly arrived on scene. He threw Dusti a rope, which she used to drag herself and the young girl out of the water.
All three children were pulled out of the icy water as first responders arrived on scene. The 6-year-old girl was not breathing and had no pulse after being submerged in the icy water for two minutes. First responders performed life-saving CPR.

（2022·河南洛阳·二模）Song Lam, or Waiata to some of her New Zealand Maori friends, argues that Mandarin and Maori have much in common, particularly the five vowels(元音) which sound the same in both languages. And the mythological(神话) figure Maui of Maori legend has a Chinese “twin brother”, the Monkey King. Both could turn themselves into any shape or figure at any time.
Some academics claim that one of the native tribes in Taiwan, China speaks a language similar to Maori, notably in the naming of numbers. Evidence gleaned by archaeologists(考古学家) shows an ancient link between the peoples of Australasia and Taiwan, with the native language of Taiwan having similarities to the prehistoric Australasian language.
Confused by Maori place names and customs when she first moved to New Zealand, Song Lam spent eight years researching and three years writing her book, The Maori of New Zealand, which is believed to be the first Chinese-language publication to include Maori words, values and customs. The 120-page book, including 10 pages of photos and maps, descbribes Maori legends, traditions, history and folk tales.
Song Lam was inspired to write the book in 1990 when she tried to sign up for an education course in New Zealand and was asked for her comments on a local historical event, which she knew nothing about. She involved her two sons in her project and research after explaining to them the stories behind Maori place names. The younger boy, aged 10, used his skill at drawing to contribute an historic map of Maori tribes in New Zealand.
“Both Chinese and Maori like to present a gift when visiting others or receiving warm reception,” Lam says. “My book will be a good gift when I visit a Maori community.”
41. According to Song Lam, what do Mandarin and Maori have in common?
A. Fairy tales of the same character. B. Confusing place names and customs.
C. Similar pronunciation of vowels. D. The magic power of the Monkey King.
42. What does the underlined word “gleaned” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Controlled. B. Gathered.
C. Grown. D. Switched.
43. Why is Song Lam’s younger son mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To tell his curiosity about Maori.
B. To prove his unique talent in painting.
C. To stress the importance of education.
D. To show his help with the publication.
44. What is the best title for the text?
A. Cultures Share Language Bond
B. The First Book about Maori
C. Adaptation to Life in New Zealand
D. Languages Bridge Misunderstanding
【答案与解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过Song Lam的故事讲述中国和新西兰毛利部落在语言和文化上有很多相似之处。
41. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Song Lam, or Waiata to some of her New Zealand Maori friends, argues that Mandarin and Maori have much in common, particularly the five vowels(元音) which sound the same in both languages.(Song Lam，她的一些新西兰毛利朋友也叫她Waiata，认为普通话和毛利语有很多共同之处，尤其是这五个元音在两种语言中发音相同)”可知， Song Lam认为新西兰语和普通话的共同之处是元音的发音相似。故选C。
42. 词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Evidence gleaned by archaeologists(考古学家) shows an ancient link between the peoples of Australasia and Taiwan(考古学家gleaned的证据显示了澳大拉西亚人和台湾人之间的古老联系)”并结合常识可知，证据是需要收集的。由此可知，划线词意为“收集”，与gathered同义。故选B。
43. 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The 120-page book, including 10 pages of photos and maps, descbribes Maori legends, traditions, history and folk tales.”可知，Song Lam出版了一本120页的书，包括10页的照片和地图，描述毛利人的传说、传统、历史和民间故事。再结合第四段“The younger boy, aged 10, used his skill at drawing to contribute an historic map of Maori tribes in New Zealand.(这名10岁的小男孩用自己的绘画技巧绘制了新西兰毛利部落的历史地图)”可知，小男孩绘制了新西兰毛利部落的历史地图。由此推知，提到小男孩是为了表明他对书本出版的帮助。故选D。
44. 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段“Song Lam, or Waiata to some of her New Zealand Maori friends, argues that Mandarin and Maori have much in common, particularly the five vowels(元音) which sound the same in both languages. And the mythological(神话) figure Maui of Maori legend has a Chinese “twin brother”, the Monkey King. Both could turn themselves into any shape or figure at any time.(Song Lam，她的一些新西兰毛利朋友也叫她Waiata，认为普通话和毛利语有很多共同之处，尤其是这五个元音在两种语言中发音相同。而毛利传说中的神话人物毛伊有一个中国的“孪生兄弟”——美猴王。两者都能在任何时候变成任何形状)”可知，文章通过Song Lam的故事讲述中国和新西兰毛利部落在语言和文化上有很多相似之处。故A项“文化共享语言纽带”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。

（2022·内蒙古赤峰·模拟预测）When Hal Donaldson was 23, fresh out of college and found himself in India, where he was writing a book for a couple feeding hungry children. He was told that there was someone he had to interview. It was Mother Teresa. After their interview, Mother Teresa had a question for him, “What are you doing to help the poor?” He told her the truth that he wasn’t focused on helping others. With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, “Everyone can do something.”
Donaldson returned home from India with a changed perspective. He knew he needed to do something to help others. He packed up his car and hit the road. He travelled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets for three nights in each of them. He spent that time talking with the people he came across and he listened to their stories. “My heart broke,” he says. “I knew I could no longer just live for myself.”
Encouraged by Mother Teresa’s words and the stories he’d heard across America, Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $ 300 worth of groceries. He drove around Northern California handing them out to anyone in need. As word got around about his efforts, his operation grew bigger. Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy of Hope at the age of 27.
Their work is aimed at feeding children, women’s empowerment and helping farmers. Nowadays, their work has been vital. Donaldson says, “We’d set a goal of delivering 10 million meals. We were really astonished by the response. Now, we’ve passed out 200 million meals.”
The response from people helped by Convoy of Hope is powerful. But what means to Donaldson most is the response from people who joined their operation, driven by their need to help others. “People said they didn’t know what to do, but then they heard about us,”he says. “We underestimate what we can accomplish. It can transform lives.”
45. How did Donaldson feel after interviewing Mother Teresa?
A. Interested.
B. Bored.
C. Amazed.
D. Inspired.
46. What does the underlined phrase “a changed perspective” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. His attitude towards helping people.
B. His courage to create an organization.
C. His desire to live a healthy life.
D. His doubt about his action.
47. What is the purpose of Convoy of Hope?
A. To call for attention to equal rights.
B. To help the disadvantaged in society.
C. To praise those who help others.
D. To raise employment of all walks of life.
48. What does Donaldson value most according to the text?
A. People’s ability to help others.
B. People’s attitude towards their own life.
C. People’s response after joining the organization.
D. People’s efforts to deliver the meals to the needy.
【答案与解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了哈尔•唐纳森成立非营利性组织——“Convoy of Hope”的故事。
45. 推理判断题。根据第一段的“With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, “Everyone can do something.”(特蕾莎修女面带微笑地说:“每个人都可以做一些事情。”)”和第三段的“Encouraged by Mother Teresa’s words(受到特蕾莎修女的话的鼓舞)”可知，特蕾莎修女的话启发和鼓舞了唐纳森。故选D。
46. 词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Everyone can do something(每个人都能做点什么)”和第二段的“He knew he needed to do something to help others.(他知道他需要做点什么来帮助别人。)”可知，特蕾莎修女告诉他，每个人都可以做些事情来帮助他人，因此他觉得自己也能做点什么来帮助他人，因此划线句句意为“唐纳森带着改变的观点从印度回国。”短语 “a changed perspective(他改变了的观点)”指的是他对于帮助他人的态度，即His attitude towards helping people，故选A。
47. 推理判断题。 根据第四段的“Their work is aimed at feeding children, women’s empowerment and helping farmers.(他们的工作旨在为儿童提供食物、妇女赋权和帮助农民。)”可知，该非营利性组织的目的是帮助社会上的弱势群体。故选B。
48. 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“But what means to Donaldson most is the response from people who joined their operation, driven by their need to help others.(但对唐纳森来说，最重要的是那些出于帮助他人的需要而加入他们的人的反应。)”可知，唐纳森最看重人们加入组织后的反应。故选C。

（2022·内蒙古·包头市第四中学一模）Wang Fang, a Suzhou native, has given her heart and soul to Kunqu Opera. Wang, who has twice won the Plum Performance Award—China’s top award for theater and opera performances-started to learn the traditional art form in 1977.
Born with a melodic voice, Wang loved to sing and dance when she was little. She performed frequently, and was recruited by the Suzhou Kunqu Opera Troupe (剧团) when she was in middle school. However, her parents refused the troupe’s invitation, insisting that she should concentrate on her studies and not drop out of school. After members of the troupe visited the parents repeatedly and showed great sincerity,Wang’s parents finally agreed.
Learning the traditional art form was never easy. She started to learn how to pronounce words, sing them lyrically and make gestures gently. As an actress playing martial artists roles at first, she had to spend extra time practicing kung fu movements. Years later, Wang used the word “unimaginable” to describe how hard the days were when she first learned Kunqu. She was soaked in sweat when practicing movements in summer, while in winter she often had chilblains (冻疮) on her hands when training in shabby classrooms with broken windows. “But I was young and determined at the time. No matter how difficult, I always got up early the next morning to practice,” Wang recalls.
Wang says she did not love Kunqu at first, but in her early 20s,when she watched the show Peony Pavilion performed by Zhang Jiqing, a master of the art form, it clicked. “I was shocked,” Wang says. “Her every movement was full of elegance and delicacy. Each of her lines and songs was perfect. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of Kunqu for the first time in my life, and it has stayed with me since.” Now, Wang has herself become a master of Kunqu. Her performances have impressed generations and helped to promote the art form among young people.
49. Why did Wang’s parents turn down the troupe’s invitation at first?
A. They didn’t think Wang had artistic talent.
B. They saw no future in learning Kunqu Opera.
C. They didn’t want Wang to ignore her studies.
D. They regarded members of the troupe as insincere.

【答案与解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了昆曲艺术家王芳的个人简介，以及她学习昆曲的求学之路，通过艰苦学习，最后才获得梅花表演家的称号。
49. 细节理解题。第二段“She performed frequently, and was recruited by the Suzhou Kunqu Opera Troupe (剧团) when she was in middle school. However, her parents refused the troupe’s invitation, insisting that she should concentrate on her studies and not drop out of school.”（在中学时，她经常参加表演，并被苏州昆曲剧团录取。 然而，她的父母拒绝了剧团的邀请，坚持让她专心学习，不要辍学。）可知，王芳的父母不想让王忽略她的学业，才会拒绝剧团的邀请。故选C项。
50. 主旨大意题。根据第三段开头“Learning the traditional art form was never easy.”（学习传统艺术从来都不容易。）以及该段倒数第三句“She was soaked in sweat when practicing movements in summer, while in winter she often had chilblains (冻疮) on her hands when training in shabby classrooms with broken windows.”（在练习动作时，她夏天练到衣服湿透，冬天冻得手上常长冻疮。当她在破旧的教室里训练时，她的手还受伤了。）因此可知，学习昆曲的过程是非常辛苦的，王芳为了学好昆曲付出了巨大的努力。故选A项。
51. 细节理解题。最后一段“Wang says she did not love Kunqu at first, but in her early 20s,when she watched the show Peony Pavilion performed by Zhang Jiqing, a master of the art form, it clicked.”（王说她最初不喜欢昆曲，在看到张继青表演的《牡丹亭》之后，她被深深震撼,爱上了昆曲。）由此可知，王改变对昆曲的态度，是因为看到了张继青出神入化的表演，才让他对昆曲从不爱转变为喜爱。故选C项。
52. 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句王芳说的话“No matter how difficult, I always got up early the next morning to practice,”（无论有多难，我第二天早上总是早早地起床练习。）以及通读全文，进行总结概括，文章主要讲了王芳学习昆曲的艰苦历程。虽然她天生嗓音悦耳，但却中途遭到过父母的阻拦，经剧团劝说后，她才再继续学习昆曲。学习过程也十分辛苦，她经过多年的努力，最后获得两次梅花表演家的称号。因此，文章通过王芳昆曲艺术家的事例，告诉我们，做什么事，要想成功，就必须要坚持，每天都努力。正所谓，罗马不是一日建成的。故选B项。

（2022·北京丰台·一模）Local barber (理发师) goes above and beyond for a little boy
“That day started all wrong,” LaQuista Erinna said. “And we forgot his headphones. We were running late, traffic was horrible, so I knew it was going to be difficult that day.”
When Erinna and her son finally arrived at their appointment, it seemed like there was no way 6-year-old Jackson, a boy with autism (自闭症), would be getting his hair cut.
“He just immediately got anxious,” Erinna explained. “Usually I have to do some coaching to get him in the chair. He will put on his headphones, and we power through.”
Erinna said Jackson is a typical little boy who loves to play and loves art. But some tasks can be sensory overload, and haircuts are one of them.
The stress was so intense for mom and son that almost two years went by before Jackson got another haircut. But this time, he was in the hands of Ree, the barber, and things were getting easier.
Ree noticed his Super Mario Bros shirt and told him that he needed to save Mario by making sure no hair got on him. She cut his hair while he moved and ran around the shop. She talked to him throughout the entire process, encouraging him and reminding him about protecting Mario to keep him engaged.
“It just touched me so much,” Erinna said: “She nurtured that relationship. She gained his trust.”
“I feel good I can go above and beyond for a child,” Ree said. “I know children want to be free.They want to express themselves so I try to find a different strategy to make them feel comfortable”
Jackson’s smile told the rest of the story.
Erinna was very moved by her son’s haircut. She shared a video online, which has gotten millions of views. Given the huge response, Erinna also set up a special GoFundMe to support Ree to make sure she’s able to continue to work and replace any lost income from the impact of the pandemic (流行病).

（2022·山东济南·模拟预测）Whether it be a person, an animal, or even an insect, a mother's instincts （本能）are never wrong. This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cat's quick thinking may have just saved her babies.
In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital holding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a   long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens.
The mother cat was concerned for her young because they weren't able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets （兽医）and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited." Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.
When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. Without the mother cat's help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood.
As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mother's love and protection knows no bounds. Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.
57. Why did the mother cat show up in the hospital?
A. To seek out food.
B. To express thanks.
C. To get her babies treated.
D. To give birth to her babies.
58. How did the doctors help the baby cat?
A. They built them a home.
B. They adopted all of them.
C. They gave them right medicine.
D. They operated on them immediately.
59. What makes newly-born cats dependent on their mothers?
A. Their physical state.
B. Their eating habit.
C. Their appearance.
D. Their behavior.
60. What can we learn from the story?
A. A cat has nine lives.
B. Love makes a difference.
C. One good turn deserves another.
D. God helps those who help themselves.

59. 细节理解题。根据第四段“ Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. （因为它们在两三周大之前都是看不见并且几乎是听不到东西，所以母猫必须保护它们免受任何威胁或危险。）”可知，小猫刚出生时的身体状态让它们必须依靠猫妈妈生活。故选A。

（2022·四川·凉山彝族自治州教育科学研究所二模）The captain of the ship, the Beagle, wanted someone who would “profit by the opportunity of visiting distant countries yet little known”. The person who answered the call was not the captain’s first choice. It was a young man who had left medical school without completing his degree. What’s more, he had recently received a letter from his father predicting that he would be “a disgrace to yourself and all your family”. Despite all this, his adventures on this ship would lead to one of the most important scientific discoveries of all time.
The young man in question, Charles Darwin, was a geologist and naturalist, fascinated by rocks, plants and animals. The journey gave him the chance to study various living things in their natural environments. After Darwin had spent some time in South America, his room on the ship was crowded with samples of the plants and animals he had collected. As he studied these, he asked himself the question: how did different species come to exist?
At that time, people believed that all species had appeared on Earth at the same time, and had not changed since. But Darwin began to think differently. He noticed that some species of animals were very similar to each other. Maybe animals evolved as they adapted to their changing environments. It was just an idea, but enough to inspire Darwin to look for more evidence.
When the Beagle reached the Galapagos Islands in 1835, Darwin saw a variety of new species, but it was the birds that interested him the most. Darwin noticed that there was a difference between the finches(雀科小鸟) on each of the islands. It seemed their beaks(鸟喙) had evolved according to what food was available on that particular island.
Darwin suspected the finches had evolved from a common ancestor, which had arrived on the islands a long time before. Over time, it had slowly evolved into many new species. And that was the answer to how new species of plants and animals came to exist: they evolved from earlier ancestors.
It was a completely new idea—a theory of evolution. Darwin explained this theory in his book, On the Origin of Species. Many people refused to believe that living things, including humans, had evolved from lower forms of life. But Darwin’s scientific studies were so convincing that more and more people started to believe his theory.
Today, On the Origin of Species has changed ideas about life on Earth forever. And it all began with the journey on the Beagle.
61. Why did the captain of the Beagle choose Darwin to sail together?
A. Because he appreciated Darwin’s talent and wanted to offer some help.
B. Because he had recently received a letter asking for help from Darwin’s father.
C. Because he hoped this valuable expedition would also benefit someone who needed it.
D. Because he thought Darwin’s adventures might lead to an important scientific discovery.
62. Which of the following is the correct order to describe Darwin’s exploration?
①Darwin suspected that the finches had evolved from a common ancestor.
②Darwin proposed a theory that living things had evolved from lower forms of life.
③Darwin wanted to know how different species came to exist.
④Darwin noticed there was a difference between the finches on the Galapagos Islands.
⑤Darwin studied various living things in their natural environments.
A. ⑤③④①② B. ⑤④①③② C. ③④①⑤② D. ③⑤②④①
63. What was people’s original attitude towards Darwin’s book, On the Origin of Species?
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Suspicious.
64. Which of the following would be the main idea of this text?
A. Darwin’s interest in various living things made him a great naturalist.
B. Darwin’s journey on the Beagle inspired his Theory of Evolution.
C. Darwin went on a journey to confirm his scientific discovery.
D. Darwin’s discovery has changed ideas about life on Earth.

（2022·四川·凉山彝族自治州教育科学研究所二模）“Your password has expired,” a message said on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesn’t seem like a big deal, unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one number. Oh, the whole password can’t be fewer than eight characters. And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve used in the past three months.
Suddenly I was very angry. What didn’t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief about what she had done to me was all I thought about. Every day.
I remembered a tip I’d heard from my former boss. He’d said: “I’m going to use a password to change my life.” I couldn’t focus on getting things done in my current mood. There were clear signs of what I needed to do to get control of my life again.
My password became the sign. My password reminded me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it.
I made my password Forgive@h3r. I had to type this several times a day. The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happened and find a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt a slow healing begin to happen. By the time my server asked me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.
One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I thought about the next thing that I had to get done. My password became Quit@smoking4ever. I quit smoking overnight. This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal. One month later, my password became Save4trip@thailand. Guess where I went three months later: Thailand.
Seeing how these reminders helped to achieve my goals kept me motivated and excited. While it’s something difficult to come up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results.
65. What does the word “expired” underlined in the 1st paragraph refer to?
A. been renewed B. changed C. been mistaken D. become due
66. Which of the following passwords meets the author’s company’s requirements?
A. buy@1ticket B. See@h3r C. Course4$Saving D. Dream4future
67. What can be inferred about the author according to the text?
A. He finally recovered well from his divorce.
B. He started smoking to heal his broken heart.
C. He saved enough money to have 4 trips in Thailand.
D. He was always angry about his company’s requirements for passwords.
68. What would be the best title of the text?
A. Never to be a victim of others’ faults B. To motivate yourself by setting your goals
C. How to come up with a new password D. A new way of dealing with my depression

（2022·广东·汕头市聿怀中学模拟预测）My beautiful new watch had run eighteen months without losing or gaining. But at last, one night, I forgot to wind it up and it stopped running. The next day I stepped into the jeweler’s to set it by the exact time, and the head of the shop started to set it for me. Then he said, “She is four minutes slow —— regulator wants pushing up.” I tried to stop him —— tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time. But no; he calmly and cruelly did the shameful deed.
My watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster day by day. Finally I took it to the watchmaker to be regulated. He forced the watch open, and then said it wanted cleaning and oiling, besides regulating. After this, my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree. I began to miss trains and my dinner.
At last, I took this instrument to another watchmaker. He said the kingbolt was broken. To tell the truth, I had no conception what the kingbolt was. He repaired it, but what the watch gained in one way it lost in another. It would run awhile and then stop awhile, and so on.
So I went with a heavy heart to one more watchmaker. While I waited and looked around I presently recognized in this watchmaker an old acquaintance —— a steamboat engineer of older days, and not a good engineer, either.
“She makes too much steam and …” he said.
I gave him a heavy blow on the head and ran away.
My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it. And he used to wonder what became of all the unsuccessful repairmen, and shoemakers, and engineers, and blacksmiths, and governors, and school-principals; but nobody could ever tell him.
69. What did the author say about the jeweler?
A. He made a mistake. B. He had a quick mind.
C. He had a hearing problem. D. He was a quiet repairman.
70. After being cleaned, oiled and regulated, how was the author’s watch?
A. It kept perfect time. B. It gained faster and faster.
C. It was not a little slow. D. It ran awhile and stopped awhile.
71. Why did the author hit the watchmaker on the head?
A. He was a liar. B. He was talking nonsense.
C. He treated the watch cruelly. D. He was an old enemy of the author.
72. What did the author learn from his experience?
A. Never get a watch repaired.
B. He should listen to his uncle.
C. Repair work was a complicated job.
D. Unsuccessful people exist in all walks of life.
【答案与解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者的表被人越修越坏的经历。
69. 推理判断题。根据第一段的“But no; he calmly and cruelly did the shameful deed.(但没有；他心平气和地做了这件可耻的事。)”可知，关于珠宝商，作者说的是他犯了一个错误。故选A。
70. 细节理解题。根据第二段的“After this, my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree. I began to miss trains and my dinner.(从那以后，我的表慢得让人受不了。我开始错过火车和晚餐。)”可知，在清洗、上油和调整后，作者的手表走得相当慢。故选C。
71. 推理判断题。根据倒数第四段的“While I waited and looked around I presently recognized in this watchmaker an old acquaintance —— a steamboat engineer of older days, and not a good engineer, either.(当我等待和环顾四周的时候，我立刻认出这位钟表匠是我的一个老朋友——他是以前的一个轮船工程师，但也不是一个好工程师。)”和倒数第三段的““She makes too much steam and …” he said.(他说:“她身上的蒸汽太多了，而且……”)”可知，那不是一个好的工程师，居然说表的蒸汽太多了，所以作者觉得他在胡说八道，所以打他的头，故选B。
72. 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it.(我叔叔威廉过去常说，一块好表在修理工有机会看一看之前还是一块好表。)”，意思是说表越修越不好，因此作者从他的经历中学到了永远不要修手表。故选A。

（2022·江苏南京·二模）Nowadays mail delivery is a little different. I still get my mail from my mailbox. Nothing, but my neighbors’ mail. I thought that was curious.
I proceeded to take my neighbors’ mail to them. I was about to put the mail in their mailbox when a tall man came running out shouting about messing with his friend's mail. He snatched (夺过) the mail from my hand, opened the mailbox and pointed to the mail inside.“You were after this.
I shook my head, “No, believe me. I got this mail by mistake in my box today. I was just bringing it to them.” He gave me a funny look and went back into his house.
I got the knock on the door the next morning by two very polite officers. The annoyed tall man had phoned the police and told them I was a crazy old woman going around mixing up everyone's mail. Before I could finish telling them about what was going on, the officers had watched a dog approach my mailbox with mail in his mouth. He took out the mail that was in my box and put letters in. He pushed the door closed with his nose, picked up the new pile of mail he had gotten from my box, and repeated this all the way down the next street. We all started laughing.
The dog had belonged to a mail carrier who had died. No one thought to check (the carrier lived alone) on the man’s dog. The dog had been trained to put mail in and take mail out of the boxes. When he got loose, he assumed his duties.
I went by to talk to the annoyed tall man to fill him in on what had happened. He was very pleased when he realized I was not a mail thief. He did, however, adopt the little guy.
73. Why did the tall man give the author a funny look?
A. To show his disbelief. B. To express his curiosity.
C. To contain his annoyance. D. To hide his embarrassment.
74. How did the police officers discover the truth?
A. By analyzing the case. B. By witnessing the mix-up.
C. By questioning the author. D. By consulting the tall man.

A. was well-trained and devoted B. used to live a lonely and busy life
C. was assigned to replace the carrier D. guarded the mail in the neighborhood

A. A mail service B. A dog’s tale
C. Special delivery D. Noble duties
【答案与解析】文章为一篇记叙文，主要围绕我和邻居的误会展开，讲述了由一只小狗引起的信件乌龙事件。

I was just bringing it to them.’(我摇摇头，‘不，相信我。我今天不小心在邮箱里收到了这封邮件。我只是把它带给他们’)”，以及第四段第一、二句“I got the knock on the door the next morning by two very polite officers. The annoyed tall man had phoned the police and told them I was a crazy old woman going around mixing up everyone's mail.(第二天早上，我被两个非常有礼貌的警察敲了敲门。那个生气的高个子男人打电话给警察，说我是个疯婆)”,可知，那位男子不相信作者的解释，选择了报警。故选A项。
74. 细节理解题。根据第四段第三句“Before I could finish telling them about what was going on, the officers had watched a dog approach my mailbox with mail in his mouth. He took out the mail that was in my box and put letters in.

（2022·江苏南通·二模）When Narayanswami was invited to a dinner by a friend who worked at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, she was excited. Many of the guests flew planes. “I must have expressed some yearning(渴望),”she says, because someone told her “You should join the flying club!” The next day Narayanswami, who was 57 at the time, arranged to meet an instructor. “I said ‘Aren’t I too old?” He said “We’ve got students in their 80s.”
Narayanswami grew up in Southwest London, and at grammar school suffered horrific racist bullying. The library provided shelter. But, as she reached her late teens, she feel family pressure for an arranged marriage; “I really protested,” she says. “But I want to be an astronaut! My mother made a promise.   As long as you are getting an education we will not look for a husband for you.”
Narayanswami studied biology at Leicester University, then did a PhD at St Andrew, followed by postdoctoral research at the University of California. “Every time you move you get further away,” her dad remarked on the phone. “I didn’t feel I would be able t escape unless I did that,” she says.
In 2020, aged 64, Narayanswami finished 423 light hours she needed to earn her pilot's license. Then she applied to Nasa’s astronaut corps, but received a very appreciative rejection. Even now, at 66, she says “I haven't been able to figure out how to deal with it. It doesn’t go away.” The racist bullying she received as a child has cast a very long shadow.
Flying has helped. It is a workout: she has to tow the plane out to the taxiway. And it offers a different perspective. “I can see eagles, bears, mountain lions, birds of prey. I love the beauty of the clouds. They are like hills. Vaster than our hills,” she says.
New possibilities have arisen—Narayanswami chairs the board of the General Aviation Awards in the US—but she finds relaxing difficult. In light, she is part of a huge network of people who are communicating by radio frequency. There is no sense of skin colour. We are all tied together by our voices.
77. How did the instructor’s words sound to Narayanswami?
A. Disappointing. B. Embarrassing.
C. Annoying. D. Encouraging.
78. What does the,underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Accepting an aged marriage. B. Receiving an education.
C. Keeping a distance. D. Making a promise:
79. What does Narayanswami think of Nasa's rejection?
A. It indicates prejudice against her. B. It ruins her childhood memory.
C. It raises concern for her age. D. It leaves room for negotiation.
80. What does flying bring to Narayanswami?
A. A good way of relaxation. B. A different dimension of life.
C. A rich knowledge of wild lie. D. A full exhibition of leadership.

（2022·天津·耀华中学模拟预测）My mother was never truly happy in Connecticut finding the winter bitter cold and the culture provincial (偏狭的). Though she grew up in New Jersey, she moved to San Francisco in her early twenties, met and married my dad out there. After I was born, they decided to return east, closer to their own parents. But she never let go of her love for the Bay Area.
California was always part of the conversation when I was a kid. I ate meals off a map-of-the-world placemat (餐垫), and Mom taught me to identify San Francisco before I learned where Hartford was. She told us stories of perfection on a single city, fantasizing about retiring out west. My dad would play along, but his heart wasn’t in the same place.
While my mother’s status in the nonprofit world advanced, her desire to move back to her favorite place grew strong. She applied for jobs in the Bay, underwent bicoastal Skype screenings, even traveled out for a couple of interviews on a whim (心血来潮). Sometimes her cover letters disappeared, other times she made it down to the final two candidates. With each rejection, she promised to make her next job application even stronger.
This past May, I relocated from San Francisco to New York for a job. A few weeks later, Mom called me. Her pursuit had finally paid off. She’s been offered a vice president position at a public health nonprofit in Oakland. A few weeks later, she packed up her baggage and left Connecticut for good.
Our lives are more semblable than ever these days. We’re both discovering our new homes, making friends. We’re looking for a good yoga studio to join, reading the same books and chatting about the plots by text message. I emailed her photos from my trip to Burning Man and she replied with stories about her new coworkers who go every year. There’s even time for the occasional dating disaster.
Perhaps that’s the paradox (悖论) of growing older. Things will always change, and they can change immediately—my mother is proof. But an individual’s own power to create change always stays the same. Everything can change, and therefore nothing ever really changes.
Now when I’m out west for a visit, Mom meets me at a station with her big bag. We stop by the Grand Lake farmers market, picking out the freshest seasonal ingredients, before hiking up the hill to her new apartment. One of these days, I’ll actually cook her dinner.
84. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. The author spent all her childhood in California.
B. The author’s father would like to play along streets.
C. The author’s mother liked to use plates with map designs.
D. In fact, the author’s father didn’t want to live in California.
85. What can we know about the author’s mother?

C. She owns a public health nonprofit company. D. She takes everything of her daughter on herself.
86. What does the underlined word “semblable” mean?
A. Changeable. B. Comfortable. C. Similar. D. Creative.
87. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The relationship between the author and her mother is very good.
B. The author would not like to let her mother work on.
C. The author and her mother live in the same city at present.

B. the mother-daughter feelings will stay the same forever
C. she has grown up during her family’s constant moves

85. 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“With each rejection, she promised to make her next job application even stronger. (每一次，遭到拒绝后，她申请下一份工作的决心更为强烈)”和第四段“Her pursuit had finally paid off. She’s been offered a vice president position at a public health nonprofit in Oakland. (她的追求最终得到回报。她在奥克兰一家公立健康机构得到副总裁的职位)”可知，作者的母亲是一个意志坚定的人，不达目标誓不罢休，没有什么能阻止她实现自己的目标。故选B。
86. 词句猜测题。根据倒数第三段“We’re both discovering our new homes, making friends. We’re looking for a good yoga studio to join, reading the same books and chatting about the plots by text message. (我们都找到了我们的新家，交朋友。我们寻找好的瑜伽馆去健身，读同样的书，通过短信聊天)”可知，我和妈妈有许多相似之处。因此由下文可推测“semblable”是：相似的。故选C。

We stop by the Grand Lake farmers market, picking out the freshest seasonal ingredients, before hiking up the hill to her new apartment. One of these days, I’ll actually cook her dinner.(现在，当我去西部探望时，妈妈带着她的大包在车站接我。我们在格兰德湖农贸市场停留，挑选最新鲜的季节性食材，然后上山去她的新公寓。总有一天，我会给她做晚饭)”可知，作者去看妈妈，妈妈热烈迎接，作者还想给妈妈做饭，她们的关系很融洽。故选A。

（2022·浙江温州·二模）Adnan, a 56-year-old father, wants to make it clear that it's not just mothers who can feel like failures in their home life. "I had the fairytale of what I'd be like as a dad," he says. "When our first child was born, I had images of all this stuff we'd do together. It didn't include pictures of sleepless nights, or every item of clothing being covered in snot and yoghurt."
He also says it doesn't get any easier with more children, because each child will have a different personality requiring different methods of parenting. "There's a fine line between child management, focusing on health and safety, and being a present dad, trying to listen to all their voices, "he says.
"No one explains that you're their protector as well as the person meeting their hygiene (卫生) factors, feeding them, listening to playground politics and building their confidence. You're the person who is the narrative in their head about how great they are."
Adnan says that though he doesn't compare himself with other parents, he still finds it hard to shake the fairytale that is firmly in his head, compared with which he always comes up short. "The continuous refereeing (调解) and the delegate decision-making go beyond anything I've done in the workplace," he says,
"I keep asking myself' Am I equipped to deal with this?' I'm a father, a counsellor (咨询师) and a coach. There's also something about being a parent in your 50 s: you don't have the physicality of your 30s."
89. What was Adnan's "fairytale"?
A. To be a father of many children.
B. To raise the children with his wife.
C. To experience parenting hardships.
D. To enjoy the fantastic role of a parent.
90. What makes it no easier to raise more children?
A. Having more sleepless nights.
B. Meeting children's hygiene factors.
C. Tailoring parenting to fit children.
D. Focusing on kids' health and safety problems.
91. What can be learnt about Adnan from paragraph 4?
A. He thinks parenting affects work.
B. He does better than other parents.
C. He falls short of kids' expectation.
D. He finds being a dad quite challenging.
【答案与解析】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了50岁的Adnan，像许多家庭中的妈妈一样，承担着育儿的重任及其中的各种艰辛。
89. 细节理解题。根据第一段“I had the fairytale of what I'd be like as a dad.When our first child was born, I had images of all this stuff we'd do together. It didn't include pictures of sleepless nights, or every item of clothing being covered in snot and yoghurt. (我有一个当父亲的童话。当我们的第一个孩子出生时，我想象着我们一起做的事情。它不包括不眠之夜的照片，也不包括每一件沾满鼻涕和酸奶的衣服。)”可知，Adnan的“fairytale”与育儿有关，而且不是关于日夜不眠的照顾等令人心烦的事情，说明Adnan 乐在其中。D选项“享受父母的奇妙角色”符合文意，故选D。
90. 细节理解题。根据第二段“He also says it doesn't get any easier with more children, because each child will have a different personality requiring different methods of parenting. (他还说，孩子越多越难，因为每个孩子都有不同的个性，需要不同的教育方法。)”可知，因为孩子的个性不同，育儿方式也不同，需要因材施教。C选项“为孩子量身定制合适的育儿方式”符合文意，故选C。
91. 推理判断题。根据第四段“ he still finds it hard to shake the fairytale that is firmly in his head, compared with which he always comes up short. (他仍然发现很难摆脱牢牢印在他脑海中的童话，相比之下，他总是达不到。)”可知，他发现现实与他想象的童话中的育儿是有差距的。以及“The continuous refereeing (调解) and the delegate decision-making go beyond anything I've done in the workplace(持续的调节和授权决策超越了我在工作场所所做的任何事情)”可知，育儿并不是一件容易的事情。D选项“他发现当一个好爸爸是极具挑战性的”符合文意，故选D。

（2022·湖北·一模）If the West has the apple, the East has the king of fruits: the mighty mango. Called “aam” in Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi, this tropical fruit traces its origins to South Asia. Urdu and Hindi literature are filled with references to this fruit that once filled the kitchens and gardens of emperors.
Everyone is crazy about mangoes during the summer months in South Asia. City streets in India are lined with vendors(小贩) selling all varieties of mangoes. Young and old bargain for better prices, mangoes are sent as gifts, restaurants have special mango menu items and the fruit becomes a gesture of goodwill between India and Pakistan, with the choicest varieties sent across the border to celebrate each country’s independence days.
South Asians all over the world await mango season. South Asian stores receive shipments of the fruit, though they are limited in quality and quantity. Each year, I savor(品尝) my mangoes, though I’m saddened that popular varieties aren’t easily available in Vancouver.
Mango memories take me back to the city I was born in: Rourkela in the eastern part of India. In late March, just as the days would start to become hot, I remember mango trees blooming with their fresh fragrance in the breeze as we biked to school. Come April, the tees would start bearing fruit. I remember the thrill of sneaking out to collect raw mangoes, climbing onto the roof of our quarters and eating them with pink salt and powdered red chilies(红辣椒粉) alongside my best friend.
Mango stories from my childhood are endless. But this summer in Vancouver, tired from the pandemic, I can’t help but remember my sweet mango memories. I realize that I need to wander the streets of my home country, to feel the intense heat of the summer months and soak in the country of my birth.
Instead, I am in a semi-lockdown state savoring mangoes, enjoying those I can find in Canada but missing the Indian varieties. This year, the mighty mango has become a symbol of the sense of loss that each one of us is feeling.
96. What do we know about the mangoes in South Asia?
A. They are very cheap in summer in India.
B. They are a symbol of independence in India.

B. The reasons for the author’s preference for mangoes.
C. The author’s mango memories back in his(her) home country.

“Dear Santa, it’s Jonah. Do you remember me? I was the one who asked for a covid cure,” he wrote in a letter addressed to the North Pole and shared with CNN. “Thank you so much for the vaccine! You helped save lives. This year, can I please have a Santa costume to spread your joy around the world?”
With a relentless virus and threats of the Omicron variant still plaguing a weary nation, Jonah has big plans for the Santa suit. “I want to wear it and go around the neighborhood and spread Santa’s joy, asking people what they want for Christmas,” the fifth-grader said.
Jonah turned 10 in July, and instead of gifts he asked his family and friends to donate to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. His birthday effort raised $1,000 in donations from family and friends all over—even his favorite employees at the local Publix store, his mother says.
He also marked his birthday by donating his hair to Locks of Love, the charity that makes wigs for kids with cancer or other medical conditions. During a year of lockdown, he teamed up with some friends and grew out his hair to nine inches.
Jonah’s good deeds are not limited to birthdays. He works to help his community all year, including donating and sorting food for the homeless with the organization Feeding South Florida, and packing holiday gifts for children.
100. What does Jonah want as a Christmas gift this year?
A. A covid cure. B. Toys and dolls.
C. Anew Xbox. D. A Santa suit.
101. Which one of the following doesn’t belong to the good behaviour of Jonah?
A. Donating his hair to a charity.
B. Sending his birthday gifts to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
C. Wrapping holiday gifts for kids.
D. Contributing food to the homeless.
102. Which of the following best describes Jonah?
A. Kind and courageous. B. Generous and brave.
C. Caring and helpful. D. Friendly and innocent.
103. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Jonah didn’t realize his wish last year.
B. The coronavirus is still not under complete control.
C. Jonah raised $1,000 from his family and friends all over.
D. Jonah wants to wear a Santa suit and go around the neighborhood and spread Santa’s joy.

（2022·河南·三模）Bees are a big part of the life cycle of plants, carrying pollen from one flower to another and allowing plants to produce their frequently yummy output. But with bee populations on the decline, what can take their place? How about soap bubbles(肥皂泡)?
It may sound fantastical. But Eijiro Miyako and his colleague at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have used battery—powered bubble makers to pollinate(授粉)a pear orchard. The details of their magical approach to agriculture are in the journal Science.
A few years back, Miyako and his team tried to copy the pollinating of honeybees by adopting a two—inch-long toy drone with brushes made of horsehair. But the tiny flyer was tough to control. And its hairy little brushes ended up damaging the delicate targets.
After spending some time blowing bubbles with his son, Miyako started thinking more seriously about these soapy little wonders. He figured bubbles would be sticky enough to carry and deliver a pollen load but soft and flexible, so they shouldn’t hurt a blossom when they land. The researchers chemically bettered their soapy solution to make bubbles that were mechanically stable and actually enhanced the pollination process. Out in the orchard, they aimed their soap bubbles at row after row of pear trees. And they found the bubble system worked just as well as the more labor—intensive pollination by hand: pear trees pollinated by bubble eventually yielded fruit—a sweet sign of success. Miyako has also upgraded the drone—this time using a larger model—equipped with a machine that lets out a huge number of bubbles in a short time. And it has a big advantage over the hand—held model. Because it’s fully autonomously controllable by GPS with Google Map. So the drones can make a beeline to where farmers need them, you know, to be.
104. Why do people try other ways to help pollinate plants?
A. Because raising bees needs much labor.
B. Because the number of bees is decreasing.
C. Because bees work inefficiently.
D. Because bees produce less honey now.
105. What was the problem with the toy drone?
A. It was hard to operate. B. It couldn’t work from a distance.
C. It produced few bubbles. D. It needed to be recharged often.
106. What can we learn about the upgraded drone?
A. It is a hand—held model. B. It is much more efficient.
C. It hurts blossoms sometimes. D. It is too large to be controllable.
107. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Pear trees bear less fruit recently B. The population of bees is decreasing
C. Drones benefit modern agriculture D. Soap bubbles help pollinate plants
【答案与解析】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲的是因为蜜蜂数量的减少，日本Eijiro Miyako及其同事研究用肥皂泡来替代蜜蜂授粉，并通过实践证明，此种方法很有效。
104. 细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句“But with bee populations on the decline, what can take their place?(但是随着蜜蜂数量的下降，什么能取代它们呢？)”可知，人们寻求其他授粉方式是因为蜜蜂的数量正在减少。故选B。
105. 细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“But the tiny flyer was tough to control.(但是这个小飞行器很难控制)”可知，这个玩具无人机不好操作。故选A。
106. 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Because it’s fully autonomously controllable by GPS with Google Map. So the drones can make a beeline to where farmers need them, you know, to be.(因为它完全可以通过GPS和谷歌地图自动控制。所以无人机可以直飞到农民需要它们的地方)”可推知，升级后的无人机效率更高了。故选B。
107. 主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是因为蜜蜂数量的减少，人们研究用肥皂泡来替代蜜蜂授粉，并通过实践证明，此种方法很有效，结合第一段后两句“But with bee populations on the decline, what can take their place? How about soap bubbles(肥皂泡)?(但是随着蜜蜂数量的减少，什么能取代它们呢?肥皂泡怎么样?)”可知，“Soap bubbles help pollinate plants(肥皂泡帮助植物授粉)”适合作为本文的标题。故选D。

（2022·江西赣州·一模）“I’ll be back later, Lily. I know you can manage the store on your own.” Lily’s father said reassuringly as he walked towards the front door. Lily saw his eyes beaming with pride. She was thankful that her father continued to shower her with love after all the trouble she had caused him.
Lily loved climbing trees. She could not remember the countless times she ended up with a broken arm. She was scolded occasionally by her teachers for being late for school. Once, just to make herself feel good, she challenged a few boys in her class to a race, which landed her in trouble with the discipline master for coming up with the idea and not thinking of their safety in the school.
Lily was well-known among the neighbours. Surprisingly, it was not for her troubles. There were instances in which she gave items in their store for free to the needy in the neighbourhood. As she did not think it was necessary to inform her father, she did the kind act quietly. However, she forgot one thing—the cameras in the store.
No sooner had her father left than Lily saw an elderly lady coming into the store, looking tired. Slowly the woman went to a corner and took a small packet of rice. She took some cash from her purse and spoke softly, “This is all I have. Is it enough?” Lily smiled. She was short of two dollars.Lily did not want to disappoint her and thought of something. Then she said, “I think it is enough since we are having a discount today on this packet of rice.” The woman gazed at Lily, relieved.
One hour later, Lily’s father came back and looked at Lily, expressionless. Oh no, Lily thought. Did he know what I just did? Lily wondered what her father would say to her for giving a discount without his approval. Unexpectedly, he gave her a hug and said. “That’s my girl! I know you’ll make me proud one day.” His words really meant a lot to her. She was determined to mend her ways and make her parents proud.
108. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Lily?
A. Her hobbies. B. Her mistakes. C. Her beliefs. D. Her achievements.

（2022·四川·石室中学模拟预测）There were many institutions in the city where he could find lodging and food in the name of charity. But Soapy was too proud to receive the gifts of charity. He did not enjoy having to discuss his situation and private affairs with strangers. In Soapy’s mind, being a guest of the law was a much better option.
Soapy, having decided to go to the Island, set about accomplishing his goal immediately. There were many easy ways of moving toward his desire.
At a corner of Sixth Avenue was a shop with a wide glass window. Soapy took a stone and threw it through a show window. People came running around the corner. A cop was the first among them. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets and smiled at the cop. “It was me,” said Soapy, still smiling.
The cop ignored Soapy completely. Men who break windows do not stay around to turn themselves in. They run as fast as they can. The cop saw a man further along the street, running. He ran after him. Soapy failed, sick at heart.
When he noticed a cop standing in front of a theater, Soapy decided to show the cop some “disorderly behaviors”. On the sidewalk, Soapy began to scream at the top of his lungs. To his surprise, the cop turned his back and said to a passerby, “noisy, but no harm!” The wind was gettingcold. Soapy buttoned up his thin coat and walked away with a sad face.
Soapy walked slowly away. He had failed two times.
At last Soapy stepped before an old church on a quiet corner, where the organist played a Sunday anthem. Through the window a soft light glowed. The moon was above; vehicles and pedestrians were few; sparrows twittered sleepily under the roof. The influences of the music and the old church aroused a sudden and wonderful impulse in Soapy’s soul, driving him to battle with his desperate fate. He would make a man of himself again.
Soapy felt a hand on his arm.
“What are you doing here?” A cop asked.
“Nothing.”
“Then come along!” said the policeman.
“Three months on the island,” said the Judge the next morning.
112. What did Soapy attempt to do to go through the winter?
A. To receive the gifts of charity. B. To live in an old church.
C. To be a guest of an island. D. To stay in jail on the island.
113. What do Paragraph 3-5 mainly talk about?
A. The wisdom of the cops. B. Unsuccessful attempts of Soapy.
C. The determination of Soapy. D. The kindness of the cops.
114. What can we infer from Paragraph 7 about Soapy?
A. It was the anthem from the old church that led to the change in Soapy’s mind.
B. The old church was on a quiet corner with a soft light through its windows.
C. Everything seemed peaceful and quiet in Soapy’s life.
D. Soapy would fight with the cop to make a difference.
115. What is the author’s attitude towards the final end of Soapy?
A. Concerned. B. Satisfied.
C. Ironic. D. Indifferent.
【答案与解析】本文是一篇记叙文，改自欧·亨利的短篇小说《警察与赞美诗》。
112. 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话“In Soapy’s mind, being a guest of the law was a much better option.(在索比看来，当个法律的客人是一个更好的选择。)”可知，Soapy想在监狱里过冬。故选D。
113. 主旨大意题。通读第三、四、五段，尤其是第三段的“Soapy took a stone and threw it through a show window. People came running around the corner. A cop was the first among them. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets and smiled at the cop.(索比捡起一块石头，通过橱窗扔了出去。人们从拐角处跑过来。第一个是警察。索比站着不动，双手插在口袋里，对警察笑了笑。)”和第五段的“When he noticed a cop standing in front of a theater, Soapy decided to show the cop some “disorderly behaviors”.(当他注意到一个警察站在一家剧院前时，索比决定让那个警察看看他的一些“扰乱治安行为”。)”可知，这三段主要讲述Soapy为了入狱过冬而实施的两个计划，并且都失败了，因此这三段主要讲的是索比的失败尝试，即Unsuccessful attempts of Soapy，故选B。
114. 推理判断题。根据第七段中“The influences of the music and the old church aroused a sudden and wonderful impulse in Soapy’s soul, driving him to battle with his desperate fate.(音乐和老教堂的影响在索比的灵魂里激起了一种突然而奇妙的冲动，驱使他同绝望的命运作斗争。)”可推断出正是那首来自老教堂的圣歌改变了索比的思想，即It was the anthem from the old church that led to the change in Soapy’s mind，故选A。
115. 推理判断题。根据第七段的“The influences of the music and the old church aroused a sudden and wonderful impulse in Soapy’s soul, driving him to battle with his desperate fate. He would make a man of himself again.(音乐和老教堂的影响在索比的灵魂里激起了一种突然而奇妙的冲动，驱使他同绝望的命运作斗争。他会重新成为一个男子汉。)”和文章最后一句““Three months on the island,” said the Judge the next morning.(“在岛上三个月。”第二天早上法官说。)”可知，Sopy两次尝试想被逮捕入狱过冬都失败了，最后在教堂和赞美诗的感召之下想重新做人的时候，却被逮捕入狱了。因此推断作者通过前后的对比来讽刺这个社会的冷漠，因此作者对索比的最后结局持讽刺态度，即Ironic，故选C。

（2022·宁夏·银川一中一模）Max Hidalgo, a biologist and inventor, was honored as one of the United Nations Environment Programme’s Young Champions of the Earth for 2020. His most praised invention thus far turns the wind into water.
The technology, called Yawa, is much needed in Peru, one of the countries in Latin America most at risk of a water crisis due to the changing climate. “There are communities that have been waiting for water for 20 years and rely on trucks that come in with expensive water of questionable quality,” he said. “We went to one town in southern Peru and the cost of piped water for this community of 100 people was about $ 1m!”
The Yawa technology is an example of best practice in the circular economy. Materials used to build the machine are recyclable. The technology is even being adjusted to local air quality, a response to the challenges caused by air pollution. But most importantly, the technology can be used, owned and repaired by the communities it serves, even if they are not clear on the science behind it.
“When I was first testing this technology in different rural communities, I spent a lot of time explaining the technical aspects of it,” Hidalgo said. “At one point a woman stopped me and looked me in the eye and said, ‘Young man, I just want water.’ And that changed something inside of me, and I knew that I had to keep things simple.”
Hidalgo finds that getting out of the lab and into communities is vital for anyone seeking to produce environmental change. “We have to listen to what communities want and respond to their needs. That is where the winds of creation take us.” he said.
116. What does Hidalgo stress in paragraph 2?
A. The condition of water quality.
B. The consequence of climate change.
C. The popularity of the Yawa technology.
D. The necessity of solving water shortage.
117. What can be learned about the Yawa technology?
A. It is a little expensive. B. It is green.
C. It is hard to operate. D. It has great flexibility.
118. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 imply?
A. The woman didn’t trust Yawa.
B. The woman badly needed water.
C. The science behind Yawa was complex.
D. The test on Yawa was disappointing.
119. Which is especially important for creators according to Hidalgo?
A. Satisfying the communities’ demands.
B. Taking every creative idea seriously.
C. Using science to make life much easier.
D. Doing experiments indoors and outdoors.
【答案与解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Max Hidalgo 获得了联合国环境规划署颁发的2020年“地球卫士青年奖”，他发明的Yawa技术能将风变成水，可用于解决秘鲁的缺水问题。
116. 推理判断题。由第二段“The technology, called Yawa, is much needed in Peru, one of the countries in Latin America most at risk of a water crisis due to the changing climate. “There are communities that have been waiting for water for 20 years and rely on trucks that come in with expensive water of questionable quality,” he said. “We went to one town in southern Peru and the cost of piped water for this community of 100 people was about $ 1m!”(秘鲁是拉丁美洲因气候变化而面临水危机风险最大的国家之一，急需这种名为“Yawa”技术。他说：“有些社区已经等了20年的水，依靠卡车运来昂贵的、质量有问题的水。”。“我们去了秘鲁南部的一个城镇，这个100人社区的自来水成本约为100万美元！”)”可知，当地水资源急缺，用水成本昂贵，急需“Yawa”技术，可得出Max Hidalgo强调了解决当地缺水问题的必要性。故选D项。
117. 推理判断题。由第三段中的“The Yawa technology is an example of best practice in the circular economy. Materials used to build the machine are recyclable. (Yawa技术是循环经济最佳实践的一个例子。用于制造机器的材料是可回收的)”可得出，Yawa技术很环保。故选B项。
118. 词句猜测题。由第四段中的““When I was first testing this technology in different rural communities, I spent a lot of time explaining the technical aspects of it,” Hidalgo said. (“当我第一次在不同的农村社区测试这项技术时，我花了很多时间解释它的技术方面，”伊达尔戈说)”可知，Max Hidalgo花了很多时间向村民解释这项技术的原理；画线句后“And that changed something inside of me, and I knew that I had to keep things simple. (这改变了我的内心，我知道我必须保持简单)”可知，那位女士的话“Young man, I just want water.(年轻人，我只想要水)”表明之前Yawa技术背后的科学原理很复杂，人们很难理解，所以Max Hidalgo才决定让事情变得简单。故选C项。
119. 细节理解题。由最后一段“Hidalgo finds that getting out of the lab and into communities is vital for anyone seeking to produce environmental change. “We have to listen to what communities want and respond to their needs. That is where the winds of creation take us.” he said. (Hidalgo发现，走出实验室，进入社区对任何试图改变环境的人来说都至关重要。“我们必须倾听社区的需求，并回应他们的需求。这就是创造之风将我们带到的地方。”他说)”可知，Max Hidalgo认为走出实验室、走进社区，听取并满足人们的需求是极其重要的。故选A项。
