专题04阅读理解之记叙文
1.（2020届安徽省蚌埠市高三第三次质检） I come from a broken family. After we grew up， my sister and I could go years without speaking. And that is where this story begins.
My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart， but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19， I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father’ s horse farm in Virginia. Jeanne got married at 18， moved to Chicago， and I didn’ t know what. We lived separate lives in separate states， and our connection somehow ended.
Fast － forward about five years. I was 24 and on a trip with my fiancé （未婚夫） to New York City，a place I had never been. During a day of sightseeing， we were crossing a very busy street loaded with people. Everyone was in a hurry. I had laughed at something my fiancé said， and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me： “ Cheryl！ ” I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled back before even turning to look. “ Jeanne？ ”
It was her. I began pushing people out of my way to get to her. The crowd started to part—even by New York standards， we must have seemed crazy. And there we were， standing in the middle of a Manhattan street， facing each other and smiling. I couldn’ t believe it.
I later asked how she’ d known it was me—she never saw me！ She said it was my laugh. I wouldn’ tsay my laugh is all that unusual， but I guess to a family member it’ s infectious（有感染力的） . It hits your heart and goes deep in your mind.
Since that time， my sister and I have never been separated. We both moved back to Wisconsin. Wetalk daily. Many years have passed， and we are now in our 50s. I truly believe God played a huge part in bringing us together. But our meeting by chance wasn’ t just a sign. I see it as more of a lesson， a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones. It is too easy to remain lost. After our sister － to － sister miracle（奇迹） ， I don’ t plan to let that happen again.
4．What can we learn about Cheryl in the first two paragraphs？
A．She got on well with her sister. B．She came from a normal family.
C．She was brought up in Wisconsin. D．She moved to Chicago with Jeanne.
5．How did Jeanne recognize her sister on the street？
A．By her yell. B．By her name.
C．By her looks. D．By her laugh.
6．What does the underlined word “ that” in the last paragraph refer to？
A．Meeting. B．The trip.
C．Separation. D．The miracle.
7．What can be the best title for the text？
A．Long－Lost Sisters B．New－Found Families
C．Life－Long Journey D．Long－Standing Friendship
【答案】
4．C
5．D
6．C
7．A
【解析】本文为记叙文。本文记叙了一个感人的故事。作者和妹妹在十几岁时失去了联系，各自去了不同的城市，过着不同的生活。在街上，妹妹凭借姐姐的声音认出了多年不见的姐姐，从此再也没有分开过。
4．细节理解题。第一段“I come from a broken family. After we grew up，my sister and I could go years without speaking.” 我来自一个破碎的家庭。我们长大后，我和妹妹多年没说话了，故A和B错误。第二段“My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart， but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19， I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father’ s horse farm in Virginia. Jeanne got married at 18， moved to Chicago，” 我和妹妹珍妮出生时只相差14个月，但当我们十几岁的时候，我们失去了联系。到了19岁，我离开了在Wisconsin的家，住在我父亲在弗吉尼亚州的马场里。Jeanne 18岁结婚，搬到Chicago。由此可知，Cheryl在Wisconsin长大的，19岁才离开。而Jeanne搬到Chicago，故C正确，D是错误的。因此本题选C。
5．细节理解题。第五段“I later asked how she’ d known it was me—she never saw me！ She said it was my laugh.” 后来我问，她从没见过我，是如何知道是我！她说是我的笑。由此可知D符合题意，故选D。
6．词句猜测题。划线词的上一句“But our meeting by chance wasn’ t just a sign. I see it as more of a lesson， a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones…..” 但我们的偶遇并不只是一个迹象。我认为这更像是一个教训，提醒人们不要与所爱的人失去联系。…可知，“After our sister － to － sister miracle（奇迹）I don’ t plan to let that happen again.”此句是指在我们姐妹之间的（分开又相遇）的奇迹之后，我不会让这种“分离”的事再发生了。由此可推断出划线的“that”是指姐妹间的分开。分析选项A. Meeting见面； B. The trip旅游； C. Separation分离； D. The miracle.奇迹。可知C符合题意，故选C。
7．主旨大意题。文章主要叙述了一对从小分离的姐妹在分开多年后，妹妹凭着姐姐在街上的笑声认出了多年不见的姐姐。全文紧扣一个长久失散的姐妹。故选A。
2.（2020届广东省广州市普通高中毕业班综合测试）
Adriana put down the knife, stepped back and looked at her finished painting. She was usually her own worst critic, but today Adriana was pleased with what she saw. Sunset was her best work yet! Not that her classmates would agree. Their reaction to her abstract art was always “What’s that supposed to be?” or “Artists use brushes to paint, not knives, string and cloth.” Still, she didn’t care. Adriana painted to please herself, not others.
When she showed the work to Mr. Marcus, her middle school art teacher, the net day, he shook his head and said sternly, “Please Adriana, I’ve had enough of this.” Anyone hearing this comment and its tone would naturally think Mr. Marcus was criticizing her work, but it was his frustration speaking. He loved Adriana’s paintings and had repeatedly begged her to show them publicly. She always refused.
As her middle school graduation approached, however, Adriana began worrying about university. Her parents would cover her study fees, but Adriana planned to pay for her university books, art supplies and accommodation herself. So, this time, when Mr. Marcus made the suggestion, Adriana agreed. A disbelieving grin appeared on Mr. Marcus’s face.
The following day, after checking the newspapers and visiting several local real estate offices, Adriana and Mr. Marcus wandered around the town looking for a suitable location. Finally, though, they could not find anything within their price range.
At the day’s end, the pair entered a small coffee shop to rest. Mr. Marcus could see the disappointment on Adriana’s face and, as a woman came to take their order, said, “Don't worry. We’ll find somewhere to show your art.” On hearing this, the woman said, “Did you say art? You know we show local artists’ works right here in the café,” pointing to the paintings hanging on the walls. “Bring a few of your pieces around tomorrow for me to look at. I’m Susan by the way, the owner.” After thanking Susan for her offer, Adriana and Mr. Marcus left the cafe in amazement.
The next morning Adriana brought along Sunset and Mr. Marcus the two paintings of Adriana’s he’d purchased earlier that year. Susan studied the paintings in silence, concentrating hard on each one. After what felt like a lifetime, she turned to Adriana and said, “I’d be honoured to hang these in my café.”
4．What can we learn about Adriana from the first paragraph?
A．She was very independent in her thinking.
B．She was not very popular with her classmates.
C．She was easily affected by other people’s opinions.
D．She was very confident in her own artistic abilities.
5．What was Mr. Marcus’s opinion of Adriana’s paintings?
A．Strongly critical.
B．Very positive.
C．Somewhat frustrating.
D．A little confusing.
6．Why did Adriana finally agree to show her artwork?
A．Her high school graduation was getting nearer.
B．She felt guilty about troubling Mr. Marcus.
C．Her parents were in desperate need of money.
D．She wanted to help support herself during university.
7．Adriana finally found a place to show her artwork mainly because of ________.
A．friendly encouragement
B．strong determination
C．careful planning
D．good luck
【答案】
4．A
5．B
6．D
7．D
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。Adriana想展出自己的作品，但是找不到合适的地方。最后她无意中遇到一位咖啡店店主，店主同意在她的店里展出Adriana的作品。
4．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“…Not that her classmates would agree. Their reaction to her abstract art was always “What’s that supposed to be?” or “Artists use brushes to paint, not knives, string and cloth.” Still, she didn’t care. Adriana painted to please herself, not others”可知，Adriana的同学们不能理解她的抽象艺术。但是，Adriana并不在乎。Adriana画画是为了取悦自己，而不是为了取悦别人。由此推知，她有自己的独立的思想，并不在乎别人的看法。故选A。
5．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He loved Adriana’s paintings and had repeatedly begged her to show them publicly”可 知，Mr. Marcus喜欢Adriana的画作，曾多次请求她公开展示。因此，他对于Adriana的作品持肯定的态度。故选B。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Adriana planned to pay for her university books, art supplies and accommodation herself. So, this time, when Mr. Marcus made the suggestion, Adriana agreed”可知，Adriana计划自己支付她的大学书籍，艺术用品和住宿的费用。所以，这一次，当Mr. Marcus提出建议时，Adriana同意了。故选D。
7．推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，Adriana和Mr. Marcus在多方寻找无果的情况下，在一家咖啡店谈及此事时，店主听到了他们的交谈，然后店主让他们把作品拿过来看看。最后，店主同意Adrian将作品在她的店内展出。这一切都是一种巧合。由此可知，Adriana是由于好运才找到展出作品的地方的。故选D。
3.（2020届广东省深圳市高三第一次调研 ）
My mother always said, “You young men should explore your own country before stepping out into the world.” It seemed like a tough task. But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July in 2017.I jumped at the opportunity and secured an inexpensive ticket.
Excitement was at its peak as I approached the train station on the morning when my 22-day adventure was to begin. I jumped on board the passenger vessel （车厢）like it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter. The train headed west in search of our first destination — the scenic town of Banff, Alberta. After just an hour on the train, desperation already came on me. The thought of three full days on those tracks broke my spirits. As I gazed out towards Lake Superior’s glistening （闪闪发亮）waves, I decided if I was to be stuck in here, I would need to enjoy my time.
Those three days turned into a summer camp on rails. Real friendships with the crew were born within that train. Stops were made in small, remote railroad villages. A large group of strangers turned travelling companions would rush towards the villages to reward our endless patience with local cuisine. At night, we would walk to the glass-domed （玻璃穹顶）train car, which gave a scenic view of the night sky, untouched by light pollution.
After three days, we arrived in Banff. Before my adventure of taking the train across Canada, if I could have skipped the travel and arrived at the destination, I would have. But that is no longer true. I’ve learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.
4．What made the author’s train trip possible?
A．The encouragement from his mother.
B．The attraction of the splendid scenery.
C．A time-limited ticket offer for youths.
D．His determination to face the tough tasks.
5．What did the author experience after one hour on the train?
A．Great joy.
B．A dream-like trip.
C．Unrealistic hopes.
D．Faded enthusiasm.
6．Which of the following best describes the author as a young man?
A．Considerate. B．Adaptable.
C．Smart. D．Determined.
7．What has the author learned from his adventure?
A．To enjoy travelling on his own.
B．To be content with train service.
C．To skip to the final destination.
D．To explore more in the process.
【答案】
4．C
5．D
6．B
7．D
【解析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者的旅行经历，作者的心态从盼望快速到达目的地转变为关注旅途中的快乐。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July in 2017.I jumped at the opportunity and secured an inexpensive ticket.”可知，对作者来说幸运的是，Via Rail Canada公司为18至25岁之间的年轻人提供了在2017年7月乘火车穿越加拿大的机会。作者抓住这个机会并获得了一张便宜的火车票。因此Via Rail Canada公司为青少年提供的限时的火车票使作者的火车之旅成为了可能。故选C。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After just an hour on the train, desperation already came on me. The thought of three full days on those tracks broke my spirits.”可知，在火车上仅一个小时之后，作者就已经感到绝望了。一想到要在火车上呆整整三天让作者很沮丧。即作者在火车上呆了一个小时后，其旅行热情开始下降。故选D。
6．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“As I gazed out towards Lake Superior’s glistening waves, I decided if I was to be stuck in here, I would need to enjoy my time.” 和第三段中的“Those three days turned into a summer camp on rails. Real friendships with the crew were born within that train.”可知，当作者凝视苏必利尔湖畔闪闪发光的海浪时，作者决定如果要呆在这里，我需要享受我的时间。那三天变成了铁轨上的夏令营。与乘务员的真正友谊源于那列火车。由此可知，作者想办法度过在火车上的时间，使自己充满快乐。因此“适应性强”最能恰当地描述作者。故选B。
7．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“I’ve learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.”可知，作者明白了关注旅途中的快乐比盼望到达目的地更有趣。即作者明白了要在旅行中去探索更多的快乐。故选D。
4.（2020届河南省安阳市高三第二次模拟）
During Rick’s birth in 1962, his brain was damaged for oxygen lack. The doctors told Dick Hoyt that there was no hope of his son being anything more than a “vegetable”. Yet Dick and his wife were determined to raise him at home.
At age 13, Rick told his father he wanted to participate in a five-mile benefit run for the disabled. Dick was not a runner, but he agreed to push Rick through the race course in his wheelchair. That was when a surprising thing happened. During the run, Rick felt as though he wasn’t disabled anymore—he was simply one of the runners. This experience deeply affected Dick, and he committed to running an increasing number of events with his son so that Rick could have this feeling as often as possible.
At first, other competitors often treated them as outsiders and even avoided them. But gradually, what began as a way for Rick Hoyt to experience inclusion and equality broadened in its purpose. Running together became a way to send a message that, as Rick said, everybody should be included in everyday life. The pair’s first Boston Marathon in 1981 finished in the top quarter of the field, and shortly thereafter, attitudes began to change. Many athletes would come up to them before the race to wish them luck.
The 2013 Boston Marathon was the 31st time the Hoyts had run the race, and it was also their last race. Dick has run thousands of miles to be with and support his son. Their athletic pursuits have enriched Rick’s life and had a practical benefit for Dick’s life as well: After a heart attack, Dick’s doctors told him he might have died 15 years earlier if he weren’t in such good shape.
4．What inspired Dick to keep running?
A．Rick felt he was a healthy person in running.
B．Rick could raise money by taking part in running.
C．Rick’s wish was to be an excellent runner one day.
D．Rick could rebuild his brain by running.
5．What message did the Hoyts send by running?
A．Everyone is a part of the world. B．Whatever man has done, I may do.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way. D．Good things come to those who wait.
6．What changed others’ attitudes to the Hoyts?
A．Their talent for running. B．Their purpose of running.
C．Their donations to runners. D．Their achievement in running.
7．How long did the Hoyts insist on races?
A．31 years. B．38 years.
C．40 years. D．53 years.
【答案】
4．A
5．A
6．D
7．B
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了出生时由于缺氧而天生“植物人”的Rick13岁时喜爱上了跑步，并坚持参加马拉松比赛，同时，跑步也给他的生命带来了奇迹。
4．细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“During the run, Rick felt as though he wasn’t disabled anymore—he was simply one of the runners. This experience deeply affected Dick, and he committed to running an increasing number of events with his son so that Rick could have this feeling as often as possible.( 在跑步的过程中，瑞克觉得自己不再是残疾人了——他只是跑步者中的一员。这段经历深深地影响了迪克，他决定和儿子一起举办越来越多的活动，这样瑞克就能尽可能多地有这种感觉。)”可知，自己在跑步过程中像一个正常人这样的感觉促使他坚持跑步。故选A项。
5．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Running together became a way to send a message that, as Rick said, everybody should be included in everyday life.( 一起跑步变成了一种传递信息的方式，正如里克所说，每个人都应该融入到日常生活中。)”可知，通过跑步，他想要传达每个人都应该融入到日常生活中，都是世界的一部分。故选A项。
6．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“The pair’s first Boston Marathon in 1981 finished in the top quarter of the field, and shortly thereafter, attitudes began to change.”可知，人们态度的转变始于他们在1981年波士顿马拉松比赛取得的成绩。故选D项。
7．细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“During Rick’s birth in 1962, his brain was damaged for oxygen lack.”可知，他出生于1962年，第二段内容“At age 13, Rick told his father he wanted to participate in a five-mile benefit run for the disabled.”提及了第一次跑步时13岁，即1962+13=1975年，末尾段落“The 2013 Boston Marathon was the 31st time the Hoyts had run the race, and it was also their last race.”提及2013年为最后一次跑步，因此可计算2013-1975=38。故选B项。
5.（2020届河南省郑州市高三第二次质量预测）
When I heard that Vitaminwater is giving away $100,000 in a contest where the winner has to give up their cellphone for a year in favor of a 1996-era app-free version, my immediate thought was: I could never do that. Even a day would be very difficult for me. I admit that I'm addicted to my iPhone.
I sleep with it under my pillow. It's the first thing I reach for in the morning. I've never counted how many times I pick it up during the day, but it's at least several per hour, and often I can't go 5 minutes without looking at it.
What am I doing on my phone? Everything, it feels like: making to-do lists, searching for random information, checking e-mails and so on. I've also become attached to social media because somehow it's become vital that I know exactly what my childhood best friend’s cousin is doing.
I know the importance of communication in theory. But in practice, I've been scolded more times than I can count by my boyfriend, "You love your phone more than me.” I feel anxious when my phone isn't easily within reach, like life is happening without me. My already high general level of anxiety increases if I don't feel as informed as I can possibly be. I'm tricked by my phone’s simplicity. I'll just look at it while I'm in the bathroom or waiting in line at a store. Those few minutes that seem harmless enough likely represent the whole days’ worth of time when I could have been reading books or simply letting my mind relax.
The possibility of going even a day without my smartphone fills me with fear. And yet it upsets me that I've become completely dependent on this technological advancement.
So, on second thoughts, I'm going to enter the contest. And even if I don't win, I promise to limit my phone usage to 15 minutes a day in May, for a start. So this May, I'm going conservative. I hope I remember how.
5．How did the author react when hearing about the contest?
A．She declared it would be meaningless.
B．She decided to participate in it eagerly.
C．She thought it would be a challenge for her.
D．She was quite confident of winning a great prize.
6．What is the result of the author's frequent use of her cellphone?
A．It gets her dependent on her cellphone.
B．It makes her do shopping online easily.
C．It helps her keep in touch with her friends.
D．It gives her an easy way to get information.
7．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Getting Addicted To Cellphone
B．Entering Cellphone-free Contest
C．Bringing Cellphone Under Control
D．Laying Down Cellphone For Contest
【答案】
5．C
6．A
7．D
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了我对手机十分上瘾，我认为没有智能手机，我会感到恐惧.我已经完全依赖于手机的情况也让我感到不安。我打算参加一个Vitaminwater公司举办的比赛，即参赛者要停用手机一年，获胜者可获得10万美元。
5．细节理解题。根据第一段中的When I heard that Vitaminwater is giving away $100,000 in a contest..., my immediate thought was: I could never do that. Even a day would be very difficult for me.(当我听说Vitaminwater将在一场比赛中捐出10万美元时，……我当时的想法是：我永远不会这么做。哪怕是一天对我来说也很难。)可知作者听到这个比赛时，她认为这对于自己来说是个挑战。故选C项。
6．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段The possibility of going even a day without my smartphone fills me with fear. And yet it upsets me that I’ve become completely dependent on this technological advancement.(即使一天没有智能手机，我也会感到恐惧。但让我不安的是，我已经完全依赖于这种技术进步。)可知作者由于频繁使用手机的后果是对手机十分依赖。故选A项。
7．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的I admit that I’m addicted to my iPhone.(我承认我对我的手机上瘾了。)及最后一段中的I’m going to enter the contest. And even if I don’t win, I promise to limit my phone usage to 15 minutes a day in May, for a start.(我要参加比赛了。即使我没赢，我也保证从5月份开始，我的手机使用时间限制在每天15分钟。)可知作者决定放下手机去参加比赛，D项（放下手机参赛）符合文章大意，为最佳标题，故选D项。
6.（2020届河南省郑州市高三第二次质量预测）
Every morning I walk outside and bring in the morning newspaper. There was a time when every house on both sides of the street had a newspaper in the driveway. There was also a time when every house had a landline telephone, but not anymore. Not for a long time.
My husband is less willing to accept the downward trend of print-edition newspapers, as he has worked in newspapers since the age of 16. Even before that, he was what you would call an “independent publisher”.
Recently, we were at a Chicago park with our grandchildren. My husband had a newspaper folded under his arm. He sat down and put the paper on the bench beside him. A young girl walked over, looked at the newspaper, picked it up and asked, " What's this?"
I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face. His eyes rolled back in his head and his legs were giving out. I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him up.
Some people simply love paper ― the feel, the portability, and the pleasure of piling them higher and higher until their wife cries, “Enough!" My husband was happy when he spent time with our youngest daughter and her husband. When they lived with us, they raced to pull the crossword puzzle from the paper every day. It's hard to do a crossword online. Pencil doesn't come off a computer screen as easily as you might think.
Now my husband will be very excited that I have found further proof that there may still be hope for the survival of print. I was chatting with a young mother who subscribes to the daily newspaper. I asked why she did something so conservatively. She looked shocked. "Because it's print!" she said. "I love print! When the paper didn't come one day, would you believe I called the main number to let them know and the lady said, ' Why don't you just subscribe to the online version? '” She shook her head in disbelief.
My husband will be so thrilled that he might write this young woman into his will. I say we leave her all our piles of old newspapers.
8．How did the author's husband feel when a girl asked a question in the park?
A．Shocked. B．Thrilled.
C．Disappointed. D．Confused.
9．What does the author probably mean by saying “his legs were giving out” ？
A．He was feeling tired and needed a rest.
B．He was very old and unable to stand long.
C．He almost lost his balance and became unconscious.
D．He was annoyed with the girl and played a trick on her.
10．What does the author intend to tell us with the example of the young mother?
A．Many young people follow an old-fashioned lifestyle.
B．It's inconvenient for the old to read online newspapers.
C．There're still young people who love printed newspapers.
D．Printed newspapers will be replaced by online newspapers.
11．What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?
A．The new rise of digital newspapers on the line.
B．A man's everlasting love for printed newspapers.
C．The pleasure of looking through daily newspapers.
D．A family's memory of reading printed newspapers.
【答案】
8．A
9．C
10．C
11．B
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。作者的丈夫从16岁时起就从事与报纸有关的工作，文章讲述了作者丈夫与一些人关于报纸的故事，表达了作者丈夫对“印刷报纸”永恒的爱。
8．细节理解题。根据第四段中的I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face.(我觉得他要摔倒了。他脸变得苍白。)及I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him up.(我卷起他的报纸，在他鼻子底下挥了挥。墨水的气味把他弄醒了。)可知他在听到女孩的问题时，震惊地要晕倒了。A项（震惊的）符合文章描述，故选A项。
9．推理判断题。根据第四段中的I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face. His eyes rolled back in his head(我觉得他要摔倒了。他脸变得苍白，眼睛向后翻。)及下文的I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him up.(我卷起他的报纸，在他鼻子底下挥了挥。墨水的气味把他弄醒了。)可知作者说his legs were giving out(他的腿在抽搐)是想表达出他在知道小女孩竟然不知道他最在意的报纸是什么东西时，几乎要失去了平衡，失去了知觉。故选C项。
10．推理判断题。根据第五段中的a young mother who subscribes to the daily newspaper(一位订阅日报的年轻母亲)及“Because it’s print!” she said. “I love print!”(她说：“因为是印刷品！我喜欢印刷品！”)可知这位年轻的母亲喜欢印刷报纸，由此可推测出作者写这位母亲的目的是为了表达还是有年轻人喜欢印刷报纸的。故选C项。
11．主旨大意题。根据第二段中的My husband is less willing to accept the downward trend of print-edition newspapers, as he has worked in newspapers since the age of 16.(我丈夫不太愿意接受纸质报纸的下降趋势，因为他从16岁起就从事与报纸有关的工作。)及最后一段中的My husband will be so thrilled that he might write this young woman into his will.(我丈夫会非常激动，他可能会把这个年轻女子写进他的遗嘱里。)及通读全文可知，文章讲述了作者丈夫与一些人关于报纸的故事，表达了作者丈夫对“印刷报纸”永恒的爱。因此B项（一个男人对印刷报纸永恒的爱。）符合文章大意，故选B项。
7.（2020届湖南省衡阳市高三毕业班联考）
It’s 4 a.m. on Monday when my colleague, Yi Bingkun, and I finished the night shift. It’s the 50th hour since our medical team arrived in Wuhan to help fight against the novel corona virus (新型冠状病毒). The situation here is far more grievous than what we imagined, with more suspected cases and an acute shortage of medical staff. We are here to bring them hope, but it seems that we assume more responsibilities.
The ward was almost overloaded during our first night shift and we continued to receive more patients. My colleague and I plunged into work without delay after wearing protective suits.
However, an emergency occurred when a patient went into sudden cardiac arrest when we had just changed shifts. Yi Bingkun rushed to give chest compressions to the patient to make his heart beat again and I called a doctor for help.
Though all rescue measures failed, the patient’s family, however, sent their gratitude to us. Their every single: “Thank you” made me feel warm and that the efforts we had made were worthwhile. But Kun brought me more warmth. I once asked him whether he felt afraid about the possibility of becoming infected when saving the patient. He told me that “Yes, I was really scared at the time because I do have my family and my kid. But I was more afraid that the life might disappear in front of me.” I really admire his courage. Our night shift should have been finished at midnight, but it ended at 3 a. m. that night. We found our clothes were wet after we took off protective suits. What is impressive is that my colleagues messaged us, asking why Kun and I didn’t come back with the clock pointing to 1 a.m., 2 a.m. or even 3 a.m. They urged us to let them know we were okay as soon as we came back.
The weather is really cold but we feel warm from the bottoms of our hearts. Come on, all my colleagues! Come on, Wuhan! Come on, China!
4．When did the medical team arrive in Wuhan?
A．On Saturday. B．On Sunday.
C．On Monday. D．On Tuesday.
5．What does the underlined word “grievous” mean in the first paragraph?
A．Puzzling. B．Positive.
C．Satisfactory. D．severe.
6．What can we infer about the patient?
A．He soon recovered from the illness. B．He finally died of serious illness.
C．He was rushed to another hospital. D．He was infected by a wild animal.
7．In the eyes of the writer, Yi Bingkun is________.
A．adventurous B．lucky
C．brave D．careless
【答案】
4．A
5．D

4．细节理解题。根据第一段中的It’s 4 a.m. on Monday when my colleague, Yi Bingkun, and I finished the night shift. It’s the 50th hour since our medical team arrived in Wuhan to help fight against the novel corona virus (新型冠状病毒).可知，周一凌晨4点，我和同事易炳坤上完了夜班。这是我们医疗队抵达武汉抗击新型冠状病毒的第50个小时。由此可知，医疗队抵达武汉的时间是50小时之前，也就是两天前的凌晨2点，即周六凌晨2点。故选A。

8.（2020届湖南省岳阳市高三教学质量检测） Last May I was hired by a large government agency. I had seven coworkers and a boss, Mrs. King. Our job was to sort huge amounts of mail into four hundred slots( 位置). We delivered the mail out of grocery carts we wheeled from office to office, picking up outgoing mail as we went along. Each mail delivery took an entire half-day to sort and deliver.
My troubles began almost as soon as I arrived. I was horrified to see that the slots were labeled not with people’s names but with their initials. Without thinking, I asked why this was a good idea, only to receive a sharp glance from Mrs. King. So I repeated the question. This time Mrs. King told me not to question what I didn’t understand. It was the first of many such exchanges, and I hadn’t been on the job a half-hour. The longer I worked at the job, the more I saw how inefficient all the procedures were, from delivery routes to times for coffee breaks.
When I asked Mrs. King about the procedures, however, she always reacted the same way. I continued with it over the next seven weeks, but my efforts were fruitless, even counterproductive.
Two months later, I was fired. I objected, of course. The personnel manager asked me if I had ever heard of the barnyard pecking order: the top chicken pecks on the one below it, the second pecks on the third, and so on all the way down the line to the lowliest chicken, whose life is a constant misery. Mrs. King, the manager said, was that lowliest chicken at the bottom of the pecking order in the agency’s management. No one should doubt for a moment that she ruled her rooster.
I reflected upon my adventure in the agency. Eventually I saw how arrogant, and how unsympathetic, my behavior had been. In my next job, I ’ll learn the pecking order before I become a reformer, if I do.
8．What trouble did the author meet when he started his job?
A．He had too many co-workers and a boss to work with.
B．He found the slots were labeled not with full names but initials.
C．He had to spend too much time in sorting and delivering.
D．His boss Mrs King glanced at him sharply and answered him quickly.
9．Why was the author fired two months later?
A．He questioned his boss Mrs King endlessly.
B．He did not work according to work procedures.
C．He worked inefficiently.
D．He did not make his efforts to work.
10．What does the barnyard pecking order in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．work procedure B．job morality
C．production line D．ranking system
11．What have the author learned from his job adventure?
A．Honesty B．Self-confidence
C．Respect D．Perseverance
【答案】

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者曾经在一家政府机构工作，每天分拣邮件，作者一到那里就发现，邮件插槽上的标签不是人名，而是姓名的首字母。于是重复地询问同事金太太为什么要这么做，导致最后被解雇。最后人事经理告诉了作者谷仓啄食的故事，让作者明白了要尊重他人。
8．细节理解题。根据第二段中I was horrified to see that the slots were labeled not with people’s names but with their initials.可知我震惊地发现，这些插槽上的标签不是人名，而是姓名的首字母。由此可知，作者刚开始工作时，发现插槽上的标签不是全名而是首字母。故选B。
9．细节理解题。根据第二段中Without thinking, I asked why this was a good idea, only to receive a sharp glance from Mrs. King. So I repeated the question. This time Mrs. King told me not to question what I didn’t understand.可知我不假思索地问为什么这是一个好主意，结果只得到金太太锐利的一瞥。所以我重复了这个问题。这一次金夫人告诉我不要问我不明白的问题。以及第三段中When I asked Mrs. King about the procedures, however, she always reacted the same way.可知然而，当我向金太太询问程序时，她的反应总是一样的。由此可知，作者在两个月后被解雇，因为他不停地问他的老板金太太。故选A。
10．词义猜测题。根据第三段中Mrs. King, the manager said, was that lowliest chicken at the bottom of the pecking order in the agency’s management. No one should doubt for a moment that she ruled her rooster.可知经理说，金太太是公司管理层中最低级的人。谁也不应该怀疑她支配着她的公鸡。由此可推知，谷仓啄食顺序指的是公司里的排名系统。故选D。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Eventually I saw how arrogant, and how unsympathetic, my behavior had been. In my next job, I ’ll learn the pecking order before I become a reformer, if I do.可知最终，我看到了我的行为是多么傲慢，多么没有同情心。在我的下一份工作中，如果我想成为一名改革家，我会先学习一下社会等级。由此可知，作者从他的工作经历中学到了尊重。故选C。
9.（2020届江西省抚州市高三教学质量监测）
People as far away as South Africa have called Melody Pugh in Washington D．C．to help them find a beloved family member. The country’s only licensed and bonded “pet detective”, this 58- year-old former police officer is an expert on thinking like a dog or cat.
It all started in April 1998 when her beloved kitty, Norman, was stolen from the car after arriving at the vet’s office. Pugh searched for Norman for 95 days, quitting her job because the search became all-consuming, and during that time she found 27 other lost pets. That's when she discovered she had a nose for finding clues --- a paw print here, a broken spider web there.
While there are other pet finders, Pugh is the only person in the U. S. registered as a licensed pet detective 一 and there's a big difference. "Pet finders may make posters and phone calls, but they won't actively track your pet or get personally involved because they aren’t bonded and can’t afford to get sued（起诉）,” says Pugh, who has never been sued. She was able to obtain a Private investigator's license from the State of Washington in 2001 because of her background in law enforcement.
Pugh has returned more than 1,000 dogs and cats to their homes in almost every state nationwide. Nearly two million companion animals are stolen each year, often right from their owner's yard, and then sold to research laboratories, dog-fighting rings, or puppy mills.
4．What do we know about Melody Pugh from paragraph 1?
A．She is a caring vet. B．She is good at finding pets.
C．She comes from South Africa. D．She works as a police officer.
5．When did Pugh find her gift for finding clues?
A．After she lost 27 pets. B．The time she arrived at the vets.
C．95 days before she found Norman. D．When she was searching for her cat.
6．What's the difference between Pugh and other pet finders?
A．She tracks the lost pets. B．She makes posters and phone calls.
C．She has never been accused. D．She is a licensed pet investigator.
7．Which of the following best describes Pugh?
A．Demanding. B．Devoted.
C．Stubborn. D．Tough.
【答案】
4．B
5．D
6．D
7．B
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了美国唯一一位有执照和有担保的“宠物侦探”—Melody Pugh。她擅长帮助人们寻找宠物。
4．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“People as far away as South Africa have called Melody Pugh in Washington D. C. to help them find a beloved family member. The country’s only licensed and bonded “pet detective”, this 58- year-old former police officer is an expert on thinking like a dog or cat.
”可知，Melody Pugh以前是一个警察，现在是这个国家唯一的有执照和有担保的“宠物侦探”，连远在南非的人们都给她打电话，请她帮助寻找自己的宠物。由此推知，她擅长寻找宠物。故选B。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Pugh searched for Norman for 95 days, quitting her job because the search became all-consuming, and during that time she found 27 other lost pets. That's when she discovered she had a nose for finding clues --- a paw print here, a broken spider web there.”可知，她在寻找自己的猫咪的过程中找到了27只丢失的宠物，在这个过程中她发现了自己的天赋。故选D。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While there are other pet finders, Pugh is the only person in the U. S. registered as a licensed pet detective 一 and there's a big difference”可知，她和其他的宠物寻找者的区别是她是唯一一位有执照的宠物侦探。故选D。
7．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“there's a big difference. Pet finders may make posters and phone calls, but they won't actively track your pet or get personally involved”可知，Pugh和别的宠物寻找者有很大的区别。别的宠物搜寻者可能会张贴海报和打电话，但他们不会主动跟踪你的宠物或亲自参与。由此推知，Pugh会亲自参与，寻找宠物。因此，Pugh是一个非常有奉献精神的人。故选B。
10.（2020届江西省新余市高考二模）
On a Saturday afternoon, Tasi Lama had just finished lunch and was going to wash his hands when the ground under his feet started shaking violently. Objects began to fall down from overhead and rising above the crashes, he could hear terrified screams all around him. Several months later, the painter from Nepal's Kathmandu Valley remembers that day more vividly than his wedding day or the birth of his son.
It was on April 25, 2015 that an earthquake hit Nepal, the former Himalayan kingdom out of sight between its giant neighbors China and India, 81 years after a similar disaster. This killer quake and aftershocks that continued for more than a month afterward killed over 8,000 people, destroyed thousands of houses, and ruined an economy already damaged by many other reasons.
It was also of consequence for the ancient art style Nepali painters such as Lama have been practicing for generations. “We left our homes and lived in the open fields outside the city, under tarpaulins（防水油布）for a month," Lama said. Many of the houses, built of mud and bricks, were in ruins and the aftershocks continued, though less frequently. One day, I went to my showroom to get some of the paintings out and the Earth started shaking again. I dropped everything and ran out for my life. ”
Dinesh Lama, a 32-year-old artist from Nepal's capital city, Kathmandu, said his Boudha Stupa Thangka Center, which functions as his showroom as well as his studio, has remained shut since the earthquake, as his artisans(工匠）are too traumatized （心理受到创伤的）to take up the brush again. “We lived in temporary tents for more than a month," he said. “When they try to sit inside the studio and paint, fear makes their hands shake. Luckily, we have got a lot of aid from China. I believe we will come back to our home soon. ”
4．What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A．The April 25 earthquake made Nepal disappear for long.
B．This quake caused more deaths than the one 81 years ago.
C．Nepal also suffered a serious disaster due to the 1934 quake.
D．The earthquake is the only reason for Nepal being backward.
5．What can we know according to Tasi Lama's words?
A．Many Nepali painters lost their lives in the quake.
B．Only the houses built of mud and bricks broke down.
C．His showroom fell into ruins after the quake.
D．He had no choice but to stop working for long.
6．What made Dinesh Lama worried most?
A．That his showroom had been totally destroyed.
B．That his artisans were incapable of working.
C．That he couldn't sell his works as usual.
D．That he would never pick up his brush to draw.
7．Which of the following is the proper title for the text?
A．Earthquake Brings Damage to Ancient Art
B．Earthquake Causes Many Artists Out of Job
C．China Gives a Timely Hand to Nepal
D．Nepal Suffers from Two Nonstop Quakes

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了2015年尼泊尔发生的地震，它给人们的生活造成严重破坏和影响。
4．推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“It was on April 25, 2015 that an earthquake hit Nepal, the former Himalayan kingdom out of sight between its giant neighbors China and India, 81 years after a similar disaster.”可知，81年前也就是1934年有一场类似的地震，从下文描述的地震带来的严重后果可以推断，由于1934年的地震，尼泊尔也遭受了严重的灾难。故选C项。
5．推理判断题。根据第三段Lama的原话“We left our homes and lived in the open fields outside the city, under tarpaulins（防水油布）for a month”可知，受地震影响，他不得不离开家住在城市外面达一个月之久。由此判断出他别无选择，只能长时间停止工作。故选D项。
6．细节理解题。根据最后一段Lama的原话“as his artisans(工匠）are too traumatized （心理受到创伤的）to take up the brush again.”可知，因为他的工匠们受了太大的创伤，不敢再拿起画笔了。由此可知，他的工匠们无法工作达赖喇嘛最担心。故选B项。
7．主旨大意题。文章从地震场景的描述开始，第二段与1934年的地震比照描写灾害之严重，后面两段则着墨于两位古代艺术风格的画家，写地震带给他们的影响。A选项“地震给古代艺术造成损害”正好涵盖了两方面的主要内容，适合作为标题。故选A项。
11.（2020届江西省重点中学协作体高三第一次联考）
When Sally Millsopp, 53, with her 17-year-old daughter, Eleanor, participated in Race for Life in 2019. She had no idea if she would get to see her mother Jennifer Earnshaw again, who was desperately ill with a form of lung cancer, but she encouraged the pair to take part in the event as she knew the fundraising would help others.
They managed to make it back to her bedside just in time to show her the photographs. Jennifer, who was a former head teacher, passed away the following day, aged 76.
Ms Millsopp and her daughter are once again participating in the Race for Life on May 13 this year to the memory of Jennifer, and will be speaking on stage to inspire others.
“Mum was a selfless person. I knew she really wanted us to do Race for Life but it was hard not knowing if I would be there with her at the end. When we reached the finish line, Eleanor and I both felt elated that we’d done something so positive at such a sad time. We had a big hug and knew it was something Mum would be proud of,” said Ms Millsopp.
One in two people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer, but the good news is more people are surviving the disease now than ever before. Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, in partnership with Tesco, is an inspiring women--only series of 5k, 10k, Pretty Muddy and Hiking events which raise millions of pounds every year to help beat cancer sooner by funding vital research.
Gemma Turpin, Cancer Research UK’s Norwich event manager, said, “We are very grateful to Sally and Eleanor for their story that highlights how special Race for Life is to people. By following them, women in Norfolk can make a real difference in the fight against cancer. Money raised through Race for Life is helping beat over 200 different types of cancer ——that’s why every step, every person and every penny raised counts.

4．推理判断题。根据“Jennifer Earnshaw, who was desperately ill with a form of lung cancer, but she encouraged the pair to take part in the event as she knew the fundraising would help others.”（Jennifer Earnshaw病得很严重，得了肺癌，但是当她知道这个筹款能帮助他人的时候，她鼓励她们去参加这个活动。）可知，Jennifer Earnshaw是一个具有社会责任感的人。故选B。

12.（2020届山西省太原市高三模拟 ） When Sarah Wishnia received an iPad from her daughter, “It was like Greek to me.” Max Rosenblum showed her how to socialize on Facebook and shop on Amazon with her new device.With Max's help, Elena learned to give orders to Siri, Mike familiarized himself with Waze and Honey began searching for information about movies, restaurants and books on her smartphone.Max is 16, a rising junior in Davie. His students are residents of Coral Gables, fascinated by technology and eager to learn about this brave new frontier. Max began offering his tech coaching for seniors a year ago, after he helped his grandmother with her iPhone and iPad. He taught her how to text and use Faccbook. He also downloaded a Scrabble app for her to play. “She loved it,”he said, not without a trace of pride.
That experience inspired him and his parents, Adam and Heather. They reached out to a connection at Coral Gables and launched a website, techmaxed. com. He also recruited(招募)other teens to teach the one-on-one lessons in Coral Gables. These youths go to the retirement communities at least once a month. Though teaching a class might appear to be more expedient,soon Max found out that group sessions simply didn't work.“People are at different levels,and it was hard to teach that way," he said. “It's much better to give them individual help.” “Most people come more than once,” he added. “I have my regulars.”
“First he showed me how to get my email on the phone,” Rosen, 88, said, “and then he wrote up a short step-by-step guide for me so I could remember.” Max admits that teaching older adults takes time, but he figures he's also paying it forward.
“Maybe when I'm 87 and there's new technology,” he said, “somebody will teach me, too.”
4．What can we infer about Sarah Wishnia when she received the iPad?
A．She had no interest in it. B．She could not shop on Amazon.
C．She had some difficulty using it. D．She managed to use it by herself.
5．Why did Max begin teaching seniors to use smart devices?
A．Because he was familiar with the new frontier.
B．Because he enjoyed talking with senior residents.
C．Because he wanted to apply the new technology.
D．Because he got inspired after teaching his grandma.
6．Which of the following best explains “expedient” underlined in paragraph 2?
A．Exhausting. B．Practical.
C．Profitable. D．Creative.
7．Where is this text most likely from?
A．A science book. B．A travel guide.
C．A local newspaper. D．A product introduction.

【解析】本文为记叙文。作为科技迷的16岁少年Max在教会了奶奶学习使用iPhone和iPad之后得到启发，在父母的帮助下，推出网站并招募了一群小伙伴专门为老年人提供一对一的指导学习新科技。
4．推理判断题。根据第一段“When Sarah Wishnia received an iPad from her daughter, 'It was like Greek to me.' Max Rosenblum showed her how to socialize on Facebook and shop on Amazon with her new device."“It was like Greek to me""意思是“我全然不懂”，后文提到Sarah需要Max Rosenblum的帮助来使用iPad，由此判断出当莎拉·维什尼亚收到iPad时，她用起来有些困难。故选择C。
5．细节理解题。根据题干关键词“teaching seniors to use smart devices"可以定位到文章第一段“Max began offering his tech coaching for seniors a year ago, after he helped his grandmother with her iPhone and iPad.” （Max一年前开始为老年人提供技术指导，此前他帮助祖母使用iPhone和iPad。）后面句子也做出了详细解释“That experience inspired him and his parents, Adam and Heather"，可知，他在教奶奶之后受到了启发，故选D。
6．词义猜测题。定位到原文中的句子“Though teaching a class might appear to be more expedient, soon Max found out that group sessions simply didn't work.”从前后转折关系中判断出这个词的意思应当是正向的，排除A，又从后文People are at different levels, and it was hard to teach that way,' he said. It's much better to give them individual help.进一步的解释中了解到班级教学尽管实用，但是个别帮助更好一些，选项B意为“实用的”，符合语境，故选B。
7．推理判断题。短文叙述了作为科技迷的16岁少年Max在教会了奶奶学习使用iPhone和iPad之后得到启发，在父母的帮助下，推出网站并招募了一群小伙伴专门为老年人提供一对一的指导学习新科技。文章为记叙类，讲述事件内容，符合新闻写作习惯。故判断出短文来自于当地报纸。故选C。
13.（2020届山西省太原市高三模拟 ）
I sent a message to my sister at 12: 30 p.m. during my lunch to ask her about my father's progress. He was having his second knee surgery and my expectations were the same as the previous successful surgery. My brother picked me up from school and we headed for the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital, my first question was “How is he doing?” My father was connected to a breathing machine and his face was very swollen. I tried my best not to cry because 1 was supposed to interpret for him what was happening as the nurses did not speak Spanish. I had never seen my father this way. He looked so fragile and different from the strong man I knew. I asked him how he was doing and he said he was fine. I returned to the lobby and I was in a state where I realized that my hero, best friend, and love of my life was in a dangerous state and at this point anything could happen.
I recalled on when I was a child. “I'm going to the store” were always his words, and that was without a doubt my cue to follow him. We would walk to the car, and sometimes if I was lucky, I got away with sitting in the front seat. We would arrive at the store and he always said “Get whatever you want and something for Ana”; Ana is my sister. My dad and I were best friends, he never showed preference with his children, but I just always happened to follow him. It was okay for me to cry when I wanted something because I was his youngest girl, he couldn't say no to me.
All along my father had dedicated his life to giving us the best. Growing up does not necessarily mean that one must distance from our parents because it is childish; it is a time to take action and embrace the feelings because it is the right thing to do. Life presents us signals to acknowledge and value what is the most important in life.
12．How was the author's father when she arrived at the hospital?
A．He was dangerously weak. B．He was worried about his life.
C．He remained healthy and strong. D．He was unconscious and couldn't speak.
13．How did the author feel after knowing her father's situation?
A．Sympathetic. B．Worried.
C．Optimistic. D．Indifferent.
14．What can we learn about the author's childhood?
A．She never took no for an answer.
B．She was her father's favorite child.
C．She followed her father a lot as a young girl.
D．She got away from her family at an early age.
15．What advice does the author give at the end of the text?
A．Value your loved ones and keep them close.
B．Grow up and share your parents' responsibility.
C．Care for your parents' health before it's too late.
D．Distance from your family and be independent.
【答案】

13．B
14．C
15．A
【解析】本文为记叙文。本文讲述了作者对父亲病情的担忧，从而回想起小时候父母的关爱，呼吁我们要珍惜所爱的人，和他们保持亲密。
12．细节理解题。根据文章第二段My father was connected to a breathing machine and his face was very swollen.我的父亲需要依靠呼吸机，他的脸非常肿胀。和He looked so fragile and different from the strong man I knew.他看上去如此脆弱，与我所认识的那个强壮的男人截然不同。可知作者父亲很虚弱，病情危险，故选A。
13．推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句话I returned to the lobby and I was in a state where I realized that my hero, best friend, and love of my life was in a dangerous state and at this point anything could happen（我回到大厅，我意识到我的英雄，最好的朋友，我一生的挚爱，处于一种危险的状态，此时此刻，任何事情都可能发生）由此判断出，作者对父亲的病情感到担忧，故选B。
14．细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句话I just always happened to follow him，可知她小时候经常跟着她父亲，故选C。

14.（2020届陕西省铜川市高三第二次模拟 ）
Recently，as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team，I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him．His team was facing adversity（逆境）on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment-it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supporters，and Nathan's team was trailing（落后）for three quarters of the game．As for me，I had been dismissed from my job earlier in the day．
During my drive home，I kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time-I am confident in my experience and abilities．This is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son．
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan's team still trailing．I saw the determination on his，as well as his teammates'faces as they fought back to not only tie the game（平局），but then go ahead by three points．Then，a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again．With a tie game and seconds on the clock，Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence，he proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him．The other player was called for a foul（犯规）．
As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points，I saw the focus and determination on his face，there was no room for self doubt．Nathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill，it was as if he had done it a thousand times．
As I sat there，my heart bursting with pride，it dawned on me．I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity，and he had just taught me the same lesson．That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court．He will play in the finals，but it doesn't matter if he wins or loses，at this moment，we both won．

4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Recently, as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team, I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment-it was the opponent’s home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan’s team was trailing for three quarters of the game.（最近，当我看到我儿子Nathan为他的高中队打篮球时，我开始为自己和他感到难过。他的球队在球场上正面临着逆境，他在一个充满敌意的环境中打球，对手的主场体育馆里挤满了他们的支持者，Nathan的球队落后了3分比赛的四分之一。）”可知，一开始的时候，作者认为自己儿子所在的球队会失败，结合选项，故选D。
5．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“During my drive home, I kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time-I am confident in my experience and abilities. This is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son.（在开车回家的路上，我一直告诉自己，我会在短时间内重新找到工作，我对自己的经验和能力充满信心，这和我试图灌输给儿子的信念是一样的。）”可知，作者对于自己是充满了信心，同时对生活也是积极乐观的态度。结合选项，故选B。
6．词义猜测题。“and”前后为两个并列的短语，由短语“nail the free throw with such skill（用这样的技术把罚球钉住）”可知，Nathan能够把所有的分心都解除。故可推知划线单词意为：避免。A. Avoid避免；B. Focus集中注意力；C. Create创造；D. Receive接收。故选A。
7．主旨大意题。根据文章内容，本文讲述了作者在观看儿子篮球比赛过程中，看到儿子球队在比赛临近尾声并处于劣势的情况下，依然满怀信心、坚持不懈，最后获得了胜利，这番情景让刚刚失业正处于沮丧不自信中的作者消除了自我怀疑，重新燃起了生活的斗志。所以选项C中的life与作者的生活状况呼应，其中的basketball与作者的孩子的比赛呼应，lesson与作者的体会呼应。故选C。
15.（2020届陕西宜川中学高三第三次模拟 ）
I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience. My granddad was the one who taught me and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My granddad told me to just put my feet on the pedals and start pedaling (骑自行车). He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn’t.
As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared, to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from pedaling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes (车闸) and fell right off the bike. My granddad kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, 1 finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.
As soon as I started pedaling again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. Since that happened t my granddad decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn’t that afraid of falling anymore.
Though I knew there were a lot of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my granddad’s help. After all, riding a bike was what I wanted to do eagerly.
