These included helping staff at the public library, doing landscape work at Kellenberg and serving customers at a local restaurant.But faced with a limited number of hours in a day, Abreu left his library job last summer to start working as an emergency medical technician – a role that fits his passion for making a difference in other people’s lives.“My appreciation (喜爱) for service has guided me into giving back,” said Abreu, who is setting his sights on becoming a doctor. “It’s such a rewarding feeling to help someone.”During his years at high school, Abreu devoted between 40 and 50 hours of his time each year to volunteer work – more than double the school’s annual (每年的) requirement of 20 hours. For all his hard work, Abreu was welcomed into a leadership club that organizes fellow students’ volunteer activities.St Martin de Porres Marianist School (Kellenberg’s sister school) also benefited from Abreu’s devotion. Through his school’s Smart Club program, he voluntarily provided homework help and played games with the junior high school students.Abreu thanked his parents for inspiring him to do the right thing, saying they are “the most selfless people I know”. He remembered when he was about 6 years old, and his mother invited a disadvantaged neighborhood boy to have dinner.Upon observing (观察) the boy’s happiness, Abreu came away with a sense of how he wanted to live his own life – “I won’t focus on my own desires (愿望). I’ll help as many people as I can,” he said.What do we know about Manny Abreu?He didn’t do well in math.He did a lot of volunteer work.He followed Benjamin Franklin's example.He fell behind others because of after-school activities.What made Abreu want to work as a medical technician?His love of being praised by other people.His lack of time to do any other job.His wish to improve the lives of others.His hope to try different types of jobs.What did Abreu get from his hard work?It gave him a sense of self-worth to help others.It made his family popular among their neighbors.It gave him a chance to attend medical school for free.It made him stand out as a leader at his school.B阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案American and British English are similar in many ways. For example, the majority of the spellings and grammar rules are largely the same. However, beyond simple spellings like colour (UK) and color (US), the two languages truly diverge (有区别) through speech.Take the accents (口音) of Chris Evans, the star of Captain America, and Rowan Atkinson, who played Mr Bean, as an example of how far the two languages differ in modern times. But have you ever wondered how this change came about?For that, we have to look at the origins of both dialects. According to the BBC, British English dates back to 449 AD, when the Saxons and the Angles － tribes (部落) from modern-day Germany and Denmark － invaded (入侵) Britain, replacing the ancient Celtic language.As Celtic gradually faded, an early form of British English emerged with influences from French and Latin. It later became standard throughout the UK following the first complete Modern English translation of the Bible (《圣经》) in 1535 and the emergence of playwrights like William Shakespeare. This went on to form British English as we know today and was heavily influenced by the accent spoken in London.Across the AtlanticHowever, across the Atlantic Ocean, Indo-European languages spoken by migrants (移民), regional dialects of British colonists (殖民地开拓者) and Native American words all formed the basis of US English. New words also arose from the need to explain unfamiliar landscapes, animals and living conditions, but they soon turned into a revolutionary (革命性的) tool during the independence movement.In 1789, lexicographer (词典编纂者) Noah Webster wrote, “As an independent nation, our honor requires us to have a system of our own, in language as well as government.”Post-revolution US English kept changing based on neighboring cultures. This can still be seen through state names such as Delaware and Illinois, which were named after Native American tribes, and Colorado and Nevada, which were influenced by Spanish colonizers in the 1800s.These days, Britons and Americans still argue over terminology (术语) and spellings. But their differences form a key part of each nation’s historical culture. Indeed, it shows the truth behind the phrase, “Britain and America, two nations divided by a common language.”Why are Chris Evans and Rowan Atkinson mentioned in paragraph 2?To show the two languages have the same grammar rules.To tell readers how to tell the two languages apart.To explain why American and British English differ.To give readers an example how the languages differ.What can we know about British English?Its earliest form is the ancient Celtic language.It has been influenced by French and Latin.It sounds similar to German and Danish.Shakespeare’s works were written in Standard British English.What do paragraphs 5-7 mainly talk about?The relationship between language and politics.The way American cultures were formed.The influence of British English on American English.The history and development of American English.What would the author probably suggest people do when arguing over the differences between the languages?Understand and accept their differences.Choose words with simpler spellings.Study the two countries’ cultures.Ask language experts for help.C阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案Most humans are able to recognize about 1 million different colors, but some people can’t recognize this many because of something called colorblindness (色盲). In rare cases, some people can’t see any colors at all.There are three cone-shaped (锥形的) cells at the back of our eyes that allow us to see colors. These cells absorb (吸收) light waves and send a message to the brain, where the image is processed.If something is wrong with these cone-shaped cells, this can result in colorblindness.  Thankfully, special color-correcting glasses have already been made to help fix some types of colorblindness. Now, according to research published in Optics Letters, scientists have provided another choice.Sharon Karepov and Tal Ellenbogen, engineers from Tel Aviv University in Israel, have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses (隐形眼镜). This is good news for the millions of people worldwide who suffer from colorblindness.One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-green colorblindness. People who have this specific type of visual impairment (视觉障碍) have difficulty telling the colors red and green apart. “Problems with distinguishing (区分) red from green interrupt simple daily routines such as deciding whether a banana is ripe,” Karepov explained.Karepov also stressed the importance of applying this finding to create special contact lenses instead of relying on color-correcting glasses.“Glasses based on this correction concept (概念) are commercially available (可以买到的). However, they are significantly bulkier (笨重的) than contact lenses.” Karepov said. “Our contact lenses … create a customized, compact and durable (耐用的) way to address these deficiencies (缺陷).”This new research is groundbreaking (开创性的). In addition to offering those who are colorblind another option, it may lead to solutions for other visual impairments.What can cause colorblindness, according to the article?Only one type of cone-shaped cell exists in the eyes.Cone-shaped cells cannot process images received.The brain fails to absorb and process light waves.Cone-shaped cells probably don’t work properly.What is true about people with colorblindness?They can recognize 1 million different colors.They are not interested in colorful stuff.They may find daily tasks more difficult.They have fewer cone-shaped cells than other people.What is the advantage of the contact lenses over the glasses?They are much smaller.They are easier to make.They are much cheaper.They can help correct colorblindness.Why is Sharon Karepov and Tal Ellenbogen’s research groundbreaking?It has led to a cure for colorblindness.It has found causes of visual impairments.It could lead to solutions for other visual impairments.It has helped to develop glasses to fix visual impairments.D阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。Why are people taking pictures of their faces, their hobbies and their food? Why do we capture every single moment? I can’t really give you an answer, because honestly, I am one of those people who take photographs of everything. The special thing about photography is that we can capture moments anywhere and anytime. All we need for this is our smartphone – something that rarely leaves our side.Compared to other forms of visual (视觉的) art, you don’t need any special talent for it. Every single one of us can get started with this wonderful hobby, no matter if your goal is to sell your photographs or just to keep them for your own viewing pleasure. Every picture you take is a personal story. There is no painting without context (背景). However, unlike a painting, you don’t need to spend hours of your time on it. It is a way to express yourself, with little to no skill involved. If you prefer to share your pictures with the world, you can also get immediate feedback (即时反馈). Camera phones allow us to upload our pictures in a few seconds. Pictures connect and show the people around us what is going on in our life right now. The most amazing thing for me is without question the ability to capture every single moment in my life with just a single click of a button (按钮). This enables me to remember every experience as it happens. It’s crazy how the emotions of one single picture can throw you back in time. We can connect to our past, no matter where we are and preserve those memories that are most meaningful to us.Photography is also an amazing tool to appreciate the world around us and to stay in the moment. There is more to this hobby than “just taking pictures”. It is a way to express your feelings, your drives (渴望) and also yourself. Photography is art, and it allows each of us to become an artist. Embrace your artsy (有艺术气息的) side, and take a picture of your next adventure! You won’t regret it, I promise.What is the main idea of paragraphs 3 and 4?Tips to take great photos.Differences between visual art forms.The role of photography in society.The author's opinion on photography.What does photography mean to the author?A hobby that helps her kill time.A way to record every experience in life.A way to make friends with strangers.A great form to show her taste in art.What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?To explain why she wants to study photography.To tell readers how she preserves memories.To encourage readers to start taking photos.To help readers find the beauty in everyday life.                                  2022届高考英语阅读理解专项训练（二） 参考答案A1~3：BCAB4~6：DBDAC7~9：DCACD10~12：DBC
