(2022·山东·青岛市黄岛区教育发展研究中心高二期末)The chasm (鸿沟) separating Garang Piol from his dream of attending Cape Town University, the top university of Africa, in 2018 was wide. The former soldier from the Republic of South Sudan needed money to pay tuition.
In the years after the war’s ending in 2005, he had worked as an electrician in a school where he found a chance at education. Later, he worked for Atlanta’s Carter Center in South Sudan, helping root out Guinea worm disease. His salary paid for his living expenses and for his education at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa in Kenya, where he earned a degree in sustainable development.
David Stobbelaar was in charge of the Carter Center in South Sudan in 2008 when Garang was assigned to his team. Stobbelaar says Garang impressed Carter Center staff with his intelligence, organization and communication abilities. The two became good friends over years and Garang told Stobbelaar his experience of being a soldier.
When Stobbelaar was talking in 2015 to Dickstein Hughes, a friend who is a teacher, she was leading her 10th grade English class through a book, A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Soldier. “I was talking to David about some of my concerns and bringing my students closer to the humanity of the memoir, and he suggested that he could connect me with a former soldier,” she said.
Garang soon was answering questions via Internet from the students. His talk was so impactful that Dickstein Hughes continued contacting him for the next three years, became Garang’s friend and came to know of his hopes of coming to Cape Town University for more schooling. Recommended by Dickstein Hughes, Garang was accepted at Cape Town, but the money became the sticking point. Thus Dickstein Hughes and her class started a GoFundMe account, went door to door and held fundraisers. “Life has challenged him time and time again, and Garang has proved himself time and time again.” Dickstein Hughes said.
Now Garang is one year into earning master’s degrees at Cape Town in international development and public health. He is anxious to return home and recreate the process that changed him. “I hope to change the life of others ─ to help them know they have a future,” Garang said.
4. What is the text mainly about?
A.A chasm separated a Sudanese soldier from his dream.
B.A Sudanese soldier fulfilled his dream with the help of friends.
C.A Sudanese soldier realized his dream by telling his stories.
D.A former Sudanese soldier hopes to change the life of others.
5. What does the author intend to tell us about Garang in paragraph 2?
A.He went to school in 2005.
B.He managed to get more schooling.
C.He did different jobs to make money.
D.He made contributions in rooting out Guinea worm disease.
6. Why did Garang’s friends like to help him?
A.He used to be a soldier.
B.He communicated with friends via Internet.
C.He received high level education.
D.His behavior impressed friends deeply.
7. What does the underlined part “sticking point” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Disadvantage. B.Mistake. C.Difficulty. D.Disappointment.
【答案】BBDC
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是来自南苏丹共和国的前士兵加朗·皮奥尔(Garang Piol)通过参加一些工作和朋友的帮助来支付学费的求学经历。
4. 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是倒数第二段的“Recommended by Dickstein Hughes, Garang was accepted at Cape Town, but the money became the sticking point. Thus Dickstein Hughes and her class started a GoFundMe account, went door to door and held fundraisers. “Life has challenged him time and time again, and Garang has proved himself time and time again.” Dickstein Hughes said.”(在Dickstein Hughes的推荐下,加朗被开普敦大学录取,但钱成了症结所在。因此,Dickstein Hughes和她的班级开设了一个GoFundMe账户,挨家挨户地进行筹款活动。“生活一次又一次地向他挑战,加朗一次又一次地证明了自己。”迪克斯坦休斯说。)可知,本文主要讲的是来自南苏丹共和国的前士兵Garang Piol通过参加一些工作和朋友的帮助来支付学费的求学经历,即A Sudanese soldier fulfilled his dream with the help of friends,故选B。
5. 推理判断题。根据第二段的“In the years after the war’s ending in 2005, he had worked as an electrician in a school where he found a chance at education...His salary paid for his living expenses and for his education at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa in Kenya, where he earned a degree in sustainable development.”(在2005年战争结束后的几年里,他曾在一所学校当电工,在那里他找到了接受教育的机会……他的工资支付了他在肯尼亚东非天主教大学(Catholic University of Eastern Africa)的生活费和教育费用,并在那里获得了可持续发展学位。)可知,作者在第二段主要是想告诉我们Garang设法接受了更多的教育。故选B。
6. 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Stobbelaar says Garang impressed Carter Center staff with his intelligence, organization and communication abilities.”(Stobbelaar说,加朗的智慧、组织和沟通能力给卡特中心的工作人员留下了深刻印象。)可推断出,加朗的朋友喜欢帮助他是因为他的行为给朋友们留下了深刻的印象。故选D。
7. 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“Thus Dickstein Hughes and her class started a GoFundMe account, went door to door and held fundraisers.”(因此,Dickstein Hughes和她的班级开设了一个GoFundMe账户,挨家挨户地进行筹款活动。)可知,进行筹款肯定是因为Garang需要钱,因此划线词所在的句子的意思是“钱成了困难所在”,划线词的意思是“困难”,即Difficulty,故选C。
C
(2022·上海交大附中高二阶段练习)Passage Nine (Holmes’ Knowledge)
His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing. Upon my quoting Thomas Carlyle, he inquired in the naivest way who he might be and what he had done. My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar system.
“You appear to be astonished,” Holmes said, smiling at my expression. “Now that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it. You see, I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose: A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hand upon it. It is a mistake to think that the little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it, there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you know before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”
“But the Solar System!” I protested.
“What the deuce is it to me?” he interrupted impatiently.
One morning, I picked up a magazine from the table and attempted to while away the time with it, while my companion munched silently at his toast. One of the articles had a pencil mark at the heading, and I naturally began to run my eye through it.
Its somewhat ambitious title was “The Book of Life,” and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixture of shrewdness and of absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deduction appeared to me to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer claimed by a momentary expression, a twitch of a muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom a man’s inmost thought. Deceit, according to him, was impossibility in the case of one trained to observation and analysis. His conclusions were as infallible as so many propositions of Euclid. So startling would his results appear to the uninitiated that until they learned the processes by which he had arrived at them they might well consider him as a necromancer.
“From a drop of water,” said the writer, “a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it.”
This smartly written piece of theory I could not accept until a succession of evidences justified it.
8. What is the author’s attitude toward Holmes?
A.Praising. B.Critical. C.Ironical. D.Distaste.
9. What way did the author take to stick out Holmes’ uniqueness?
A.By deduction. B.By explanation. C.By contrast. D.By analysis.
10. What was the Holmes’ idea about knowledge-learning?
A.Learning what every body learned.
B.Learning what was useful to you.
C.Learning whatever you came across.
D.Learning what was different to you.
11. What did the article mentioned in the passage talk about?
A.One may master the way of reasoning through observation.
B.One may become rather critical through observation and analysis.
C.One may become rather sharp through observation and analysis.
D.One may become practical through observation and analysis.
【答案】ACBC
【解析】本文是小说节选。本章介绍了福尔摩斯的“无知”和他的“阁楼说”,以及他独有的推理和分析理论。
8. 推理判断题。最后一段“This smartly written piece of theory I could not accept until a succession of evidences justified it. (这个写得绝妙的理论,我一直无法认同,直到一系列的证据证明它是正确的)”是作者对福尔摩斯的文章The Book of Life中理论的评价,由此可知,作者对福尔摩斯是由不解到折服,不吝溢美之词。故选A项。
9. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing. (对于当代文学、哲学和政治,他似乎一窍不通)”和最后一段福尔摩斯对于推理和分析理论的阐述“‘From a drop of water,’ said the writer, ‘a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it.’ (“从一滴水,”作者说,“一个逻辑学家可以推断出大西洋存在的可能性。因此,所有的生命都是一条巨大的链条,只要我们看到其中的一个环节,我们就知道它的本质。演绎与分析科学和其他所有的艺术一样,是一门可以通过长期和耐心的学习而获得的科学,也不可能让任何凡人在这门科学中达到最高的完美。”)”可知,作者通过对比福尔摩斯对于社会科学的无知和对于逻辑学知识的渊博来表现他的独特,即“His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge.(他的无知和他的知识一样引人注目)”。故选C项。
10. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Depend upon it, there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you know before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones. (毫无疑问,总有那么一段时间,每增加一点知识,你就会忘记一些以前知道的东西。因此,最重要的是,不要让无用的事实把有用的挤出去)”可知,福尔摩斯认为只应当学习对你有用的知识。故选B项。
11. 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Its somewhat ambitious title was “The Book of Life,” and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. (这篇文章的标题有点雄心勃勃,叫做《生命之书》,它试图表明一个善于观察的人,通过对他所遇到的一切事物进行准确而系统的观察,可以了解到很多东西)”可知,The Book of Life这篇文章讲的是一个人通过观察和分析可以察觉很多东西,可以变得相当敏锐。故选C项。
D
(2021·上海市南洋模范中学高三期中)It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.
Mr.Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?
As Koziatek knows, there is learning in just about everything:Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffiti desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum.They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.
But he's also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority.Schools in the family of vocational education "have that stereotype...that it's for kids who can't make it academically, "he says.
On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of America's evolution. Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was. The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated. More education is the new principle. We want more for our kids, and rightfully so.
But the headlong(轻率的)push into bachelor's degrees for all---and the subtle devaluing of anything less---misses an important point:That's not the only thing the American economy needs. Yes, a bachelor's degree opens more doors. But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing. But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained.
In other words, at a time when the working class has turned the country on its political head, frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing, one obvious solution is staring us in the face. There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most aren’t equipped to do them.Koziatek's Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap. Koziatek's school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nation's diversity of gifts.
12. A broken bike chain is mentioned to show students' lack of ________ .
A.academic training B.practical ability
C.pioneering spirit D.mechanical memorization
13. There exists the prejudice that vocational education is for kids who ________ .
A.have a stereotyped mind B.have no career motivation
C.are financially disadvantaged D.are not academically successful
14. The headlong push into bachelor's degrees for all ________ .
A.helps create a lot of middle-skill jobs
B.may narrow the gap in working-class jobs
C.indicates the overvaluing of higher education
D.is expected to yield a better-trained workforce
15. The author's attitude toward Koziatek's school can be described as ________ .
A.tolerant B.cautious C.supportive D.disappointed
【答案】BDCC
【解析】本文是一篇议论文。科齐亚特克的曼彻斯特理工学院高中的一位老师认为实践对学生尤为重要,并介绍了大家对职业教育的刻板印象和大肆鼓励攻读学位的现象。
12. 推理判断题。根据第二段的“He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical.When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?”(他是新罕布什尔州一所高中的老师,那里的学习不是书本、考试和机械记忆,而是实践。什么时候,学生们能够说出美国第13任总统的名字,但却被一根断了的自行车链条完全压倒,这一点成为了公认的智慧?)可推知,提到一条断了的自行车链条是为了表示学生们缺少实践能力。故选B。
13. 细节理解题。根据第四段“But he's also found a kind of insidious prejudice.Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority. Schools in the family of vocational education "have that stereotype...that it's for kids who can't make it academically,"he says.”(但他也发现了一种潜在的偏见。用手工作几乎被视为自卑的标志。职业教育家庭中“有一种刻板印象……这是为那些在学业上不能胜任的孩子们准备的,”他说)可知,有一种偏见认为职业教育是为那些学业不成功的孩子准备的。故选D。
14. 推理判断题。根据第六段的“But the headlong(轻率的)push into bachelor's degrees for all---and the subtle devaluing of anything less---misses an important point:That's not the only thing the American economy needs.”( 但是,对所有人来说,大肆攻读学士学位——以及对任何不具备学士学位的人进行微妙的贬值——忽略了一个要点:这不是美国经济所需要的唯一东西)可推知,大肆攻读学士学位是高估了高等教育的价值。故选C。
15. 观点态度题。根据文章最后一段最后三句“Koziatek's Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap. Koziatek's school is a wake-up call.When education becomes one-size-fits-all,it risks overlooking a nation's diversity of gifts.”(科齐亚特克的曼彻斯特理工学院高中正试图填补这一空白。科齐亚特克的学校是一个警钟。当教育变得一刀切时,它有可能忽视一个国家天赋的多样性)可推知,作者对科齐亚特克的学校的态度是支持的。故选C。

阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
(2022·全国·高二课时练习)E-books are lighter and more convenient 36. (carry)than paper books, but there may be disadvantages compared with paper books.
I received a Kindle e-book reader for my birthday, as I enjoy “light reading". In addition to the science articles 37. I have to read for work, I immediately filled it with mysteries by my favourite authors. But I soon found that I had difficulty in 38. (remember)the names of characters from chapter to chapter. At first, I thought it was 39. I was getting older—but then I discovered that I didn't have this problem 40. I read paper books.
When I discussed this with my friends and colleagues, I found I wasn't the only one 41. suffered from "e-book moment". Online, I 42. (discover)that Google's Larry Page himself had concerns about research 43. (show)that on-screen reading is slower than reading on paper.
This seems like a particularly troubling trend for scientists, 44. e-books are slowly taking the place of the heavy books that they usually have to carry. On many levels, e-books seem better than paper books. But some studies suggest that there may be important advantages in paper books
45. your goal is to remember what you read for a long time.
【答案】
36. to carry
37. that/which
38. remembering
39. because
40. when/while/as
41. who/that
42. discovered
43. showing
44. where
45. if
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过比较说明了纸质书和电子书的不同。
36. 考查非谓语动词。句意:电子书比纸质书更轻,更方便携带,但与纸质书相比可能有缺点。此处是“主语+be+ adj. +to do”结构,句子的主语就是动词不定式的宾语,主动表示被动。故填to carry。
37. 考查定语从句。句意:除了我工作中必须阅读的科学文章外,我还立刻在书中写满了我最喜欢的作家写的神秘故事。所填词引导定语从句,先行词为the science articles,关系词在从句中作宾语,指物。故填that或which。
38. 考查动名词作宾语。句意:但我很快就发现,我很难记住每一章人物的名字。 固定搭配:have difficulty(in)doing sth.“做某事有困难”,其中动名词作宾语。故填remembering。
39. 考查原因状语从句。句意:起初,我以为这是因为我变老了,但后来我发现,当我读纸质书时,我没有这个问题。此处是because引导的原因状语从句。故用because。
40. 考查时间状语从句。句意:起初,我以为这是因为我变老了,但后来我发现,当我读纸质书时,我没有这个问题。此处指“当我读纸质书时,我没有这个问题”,所以是含时间状语从句的复合句,由从属连词when,while或as引导。故填when/while/as。
41. 考查定语从句。句意:当我与朋友和同事讨论这个问题时,我发现我并不是唯一一个遭受“电子书时刻”困扰的人。 分析句子结构, suffered from "e-book moment"是一个定语从句,先行词是the only one,指人,关系词在从句中作主语。故填that或who。
42. 考查一般过去时。句意:在网上,我发现谷歌的拉里•佩奇本人也对一项研究表示担忧,该研究表明,在屏幕上阅读比在纸上阅读要慢。此处表示过去发生的动作,所以用一般过去时。故填discovered。
43. 考查现在分词作后置定语。句意:在网上,我发现谷歌的拉里•佩奇本人也对一项研究表示担忧,该研究表明,在屏幕上阅读比在纸上阅读要慢。research与show之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填showing。
44. 考查定语从句。句意:对于科学家来说,这似乎是一个特别令人不安的趋势,因为电子书正在慢慢取代他们通常必须携带的沉重书籍。此处trend为先行词,并且关系词在从句中作抽象地点状语。故填where。
45. 考查条件状语从句。句意:但一些研究表明,如果你的目标是长时间记住你所阅读的内容,纸质书可能有重要的优势。此处是if引导的条件状语从句。故填if。

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2021·湖北襄阳·高二期末)There is no school equal to a decent (体面的) home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.
There are two typical examples: Edison’s mother and our mother. As you all know, Thomas Edison is one of the most outstanding scientists and inventors in the world. Unbelievably, young Tom was in school for only three months. It is said that he liked to ask strange questions, many of which have nothing to do with learning. His teacher didn’t understand why he had so many strange questions. He didn’t want to teach Tom any more. He asked Tom’s mother to take the boy home. Tom’s mother taught him to read and write, and she found him to be a very good pupil. He learned very fast and became very interested in science. It was she who played an important role in Edison’s growth. Although we can’t compare with Edison, our mother played a more important role in our growth than his mother. Our dad was an English teacher who taught high school students. For many years, he had been cautious and conscientious (认真的) towards work. Mom stayed home and homeschooled their four children. Three of us had no trouble in learning but my sister Catherine still could not read by fifth grade, and worse still, did not even know the alphabet (字母表).
My mother did some research and found that Catherine had some sort of learning disability. She sent Catherine to a public school to get some help. Catherine made many friends at school and amazed everyone with her gift for telling creative stories in class, but she still couldn’t master reading skills. After all the testing was done, the school had my parents come in. They were told that based on the test results, they should just take Catherine home, which was very similar to Edison’s experience. However, the biggest difference is that Edison was not stupid, and my sister really had learning disabilities.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tears of sadness ran down my dad’s cheeks.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In time, Catherine got it.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Tears of sadness ran down my dad’s cheeks. However, my mom’s jaw was set in quiet determination. As they walked back to the car, she turned to him and said, “I know she’s not stupid. Soon after, my mom discovered a learning system that focused heavily on lesson repetition and building slowly on the previous exercises. She worked with Catherine for four hours every morning while the rest of us studied on our own. It was hard for both of them, but she often told crying Catherine, “Failure is not an option. You are going to learn to read, and we’ll both try! You have to learn to read! You will learn to read.”
In time, Catherine got it. By the time she graduated from eighth grade, she was reading almost at grade level. She continued improving and was reading above grade level when she graduated from high school. Catherine came to love reading and writing. She became a very famous writer. A number of wonderful novels were published all over the country. Many of her major works were popular with the public and some books were translated into other languages. All of this was because of a wonderfully devoted mother who was absolutely the best teacher ever—for all four of us.
【解析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者母亲在家里教育四个孩子,但是作者的妹妹Catherine 到五年级还是不识字,更糟糕的是,甚至连字母都不知道。然后作者的母亲就下决心帮助和鼓励她,妹妹长大后成了一位非常有名的作家的故事。

(2022·山东·青岛市黄岛区教育发展研究中心高二期末)The chasm (鸿沟) separating Garang Piol from his dream of attending Cape Town University, the top university of Africa, in 2018 was wide. The former soldier from the Republic of South Sudan needed money to pay tuition.
In the years after the war’s ending in 2005, he had worked as an electrician in a school where he found a chance at education. Later, he worked for Atlanta’s Carter Center in South Sudan, helping root out Guinea worm disease. His salary paid for his living expenses and for his education at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa in Kenya, where he earned a degree in sustainable development.
David Stobbelaar was in charge of the Carter Center in South Sudan in 2008 when Garang was assigned to his team. Stobbelaar says Garang impressed Carter Center staff with his intelligence, organization and communication abilities. The two became good friends over years and Garang told Stobbelaar his experience of being a soldier.
When Stobbelaar was talking in 2015 to Dickstein Hughes, a friend who is a teacher, she was leading her 10th grade English class through a book, A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Soldier. “I was talking to David about some of my concerns and bringing my students closer to the humanity of the memoir, and he suggested that he could connect me with a former soldier,” she said.
Garang soon was answering questions via Internet from the students. His talk was so impactful that Dickstein Hughes continued contacting him for the next three years, became Garang’s friend and came to know of his hopes of coming to Cape Town University for more schooling. Recommended by Dickstein Hughes, Garang was accepted at Cape Town, but the money became the sticking point. Thus Dickstein Hughes and her class started a GoFundMe account, went door to door and held fundraisers. “Life has challenged him time and time again, and Garang has proved himself time and time again.” Dickstein Hughes said.
Now Garang is one year into earning master’s degrees at Cape Town in international development and public health. He is anxious to return home and recreate the process that changed him. “I hope to change the life of others ─ to help them know they have a future,” Garang said.
4. What is the text mainly about?
A.A chasm separated a Sudanese soldier from his dream.
B.A Sudanese soldier fulfilled his dream with the help of friends.
C.A Sudanese soldier realized his dream by telling his stories.
D.A former Sudanese soldier hopes to change the life of others.
5. What does the author intend to tell us about Garang in paragraph 2?
A.He went to school in 2005.
B.He managed to get more schooling.
C.He did different jobs to make money.
D.He made contributions in rooting out Guinea worm disease.
6. Why did Garang’s friends like to help him?
A.He used to be a soldier.
B.He communicated with friends via Internet.
C.He received high level education.
D.His behavior impressed friends deeply.
7. What does the underlined part “sticking point” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Disadvantage. B.Mistake. C.Difficulty. D.Disappointment.
【答案】BBDC
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是来自南苏丹共和国的前士兵加朗·皮奥尔(Garang Piol)通过参加一些工作和朋友的帮助来支付学费的求学经历。
4. 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是倒数第二段的“Recommended by Dickstein Hughes, Garang was accepted at Cape Town, but the money became the sticking point. Thus Dickstein Hughes and her class started a GoFundMe account, went door to door and held fundraisers. “Life has challenged him time and time again, and Garang has proved himself time and time again.” Dickstein Hughes said.”(在Dickstein Hughes的推荐下,加朗被开普敦大学录取,但钱成了症结所在。因此,Dickstein Hughes和她的班级开设了一个GoFundMe账户,挨家挨户地进行筹款活动。“生活一次又一次地向他挑战,加朗一次又一次地证明了自己。”迪克斯坦休斯说。)可知,本文主要讲的是来自南苏丹共和国的前士兵Garang Piol通过参加一些工作和朋友的帮助来支付学费的求学经历,即A Sudanese soldier fulfilled his dream with the help of friends,故选B。
5. 推理判断题。根据第二段的“In the years after the war’s ending in 2005, he had worked as an electrician in a school where he found a chance at education...His salary paid for his living expenses and for his education at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa in Kenya, where he earned a degree in sustainable development.”(在2005年战争结束后的几年里,他曾在一所学校当电工,在那里他找到了接受教育的机会……他的工资支付了他在肯尼亚东非天主教大学(Catholic University of Eastern Africa)的生活费和教育费用,并在那里获得了可持续发展学位。)可知,作者在第二段主要是想告诉我们Garang设法接受了更多的教育。故选B。
6. 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Stobbelaar says Garang impressed Carter Center staff with his intelligence, organization and communication abilities.”(Stobbelaar说,加朗的智慧、组织和沟通能力给卡特中心的工作人员留下了深刻印象。)可推断出,加朗的朋友喜欢帮助他是因为他的行为给朋友们留下了深刻的印象。故选D。
7. 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“Thus Dickstein Hughes and her class started a GoFundMe account, went door to door and held fundraisers.”(因此,Dickstein Hughes和她的班级开设了一个GoFundMe账户,挨家挨户地进行筹款活动。)可知,进行筹款肯定是因为Garang需要钱,因此划线词所在的句子的意思是“钱成了困难所在”,划线词的意思是“困难”,即Difficulty,故选C。
C
(2022·上海交大附中高二阶段练习)Passage Nine (Holmes’ Knowledge)
His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing. Upon my quoting Thomas Carlyle, he inquired in the naivest way who he might be and what he had done. My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar system.
“You appear to be astonished,” Holmes said, smiling at my expression. “Now that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it. You see, I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose: A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hand upon it. It is a mistake to think that the little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it, there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you know before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”
“But the Solar System!” I protested.
“What the deuce is it to me?” he interrupted impatiently.
One morning, I picked up a magazine from the table and attempted to while away the time with it, while my companion munched silently at his toast. One of the articles had a pencil mark at the heading, and I naturally began to run my eye through it.
Its somewhat ambitious title was “The Book of Life,” and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixture of shrewdness and of absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deduction appeared to me to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer claimed by a momentary expression, a twitch of a muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom a man’s inmost thought. Deceit, according to him, was impossibility in the case of one trained to observation and analysis. His conclusions were as infallible as so many propositions of Euclid. So startling would his results appear to the uninitiated that until they learned the processes by which he had arrived at them they might well consider him as a necromancer.
“From a drop of water,” said the writer, “a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it.”
This smartly written piece of theory I could not accept until a succession of evidences justified it.
8. What is the author’s attitude toward Holmes?
A.Praising. B.Critical. C.Ironical. D.Distaste.
9. What way did the author take to stick out Holmes’ uniqueness?
A.By deduction. B.By explanation. C.By contrast. D.By analysis.
10. What was the Holmes’ idea about knowledge-learning?
A.Learning what every body learned.
B.Learning what was useful to you.
C.Learning whatever you came across.
D.Learning what was different to you.
11. What did the article mentioned in the passage talk about?
A.One may master the way of reasoning through observation.
B.One may become rather critical through observation and analysis.
C.One may become rather sharp through observation and analysis.
D.One may become practical through observation and analysis.
【答案】ACBC
【解析】本文是小说节选。本章介绍了福尔摩斯的“无知”和他的“阁楼说”,以及他独有的推理和分析理论。
8. 推理判断题。最后一段“This smartly written piece of theory I could not accept until a succession of evidences justified it. (这个写得绝妙的理论,我一直无法认同,直到一系列的证据证明它是正确的)”是作者对福尔摩斯的文章The Book of Life中理论的评价,由此可知,作者对福尔摩斯是由不解到折服,不吝溢美之词。故选A项。
9. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing. (对于当代文学、哲学和政治,他似乎一窍不通)”和最后一段福尔摩斯对于推理和分析理论的阐述“‘From a drop of water,’ said the writer, ‘a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it.’ (“从一滴水,”作者说,“一个逻辑学家可以推断出大西洋存在的可能性。因此,所有的生命都是一条巨大的链条,只要我们看到其中的一个环节,我们就知道它的本质。演绎与分析科学和其他所有的艺术一样,是一门可以通过长期和耐心的学习而获得的科学,也不可能让任何凡人在这门科学中达到最高的完美。”)”可知,作者通过对比福尔摩斯对于社会科学的无知和对于逻辑学知识的渊博来表现他的独特,即“His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge.(他的无知和他的知识一样引人注目)”。故选C项。
10. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Depend upon it, there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you know before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones. (毫无疑问,总有那么一段时间,每增加一点知识,你就会忘记一些以前知道的东西。因此,最重要的是,不要让无用的事实把有用的挤出去)”可知,福尔摩斯认为只应当学习对你有用的知识。故选B项。
11. 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Its somewhat ambitious title was “The Book of Life,” and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. (这篇文章的标题有点雄心勃勃,叫做《生命之书》,它试图表明一个善于观察的人,通过对他所遇到的一切事物进行准确而系统的观察,可以了解到很多东西)”可知,The Book of Life这篇文章讲的是一个人通过观察和分析可以察觉很多东西,可以变得相当敏锐。故选C项。
D
(2021·上海市南洋模范中学高三期中)It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.
Mr.Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?
As Koziatek knows, there is learning in just about everything:Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffiti desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum.They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.
But he's also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority.Schools in the family of vocational education "have that stereotype...that it's for kids who can't make it academically, "he says.
On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of America's evolution. Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was. The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated. More education is the new principle. We want more for our kids, and rightfully so.
But the headlong(轻率的)push into bachelor's degrees for all---and the subtle devaluing of anything less---misses an important point:That's not the only thing the American economy needs. Yes, a bachelor's degree opens more doors. But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing. But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained.
In other words, at a time when the working class has turned the country on its political head, frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing, one obvious solution is staring us in the face. There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most aren’t equipped to do them.Koziatek's Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap. Koziatek's school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nation's diversity of gifts.
12. A broken bike chain is mentioned to show students' lack of ________ .
A.academic training B.practical ability
C.pioneering spirit D.mechanical memorization
13. There exists the prejudice that vocational education is for kids who ________ .
A.have a stereotyped mind B.have no career motivation
C.are financially disadvantaged D.are not academically successful
14. The headlong push into bachelor's degrees for all ________ .
A.helps create a lot of middle-skill jobs
B.may narrow the gap in working-class jobs
C.indicates the overvaluing of higher education
D.is expected to yield a better-trained workforce
15. The author's attitude toward Koziatek's school can be described as ________ .
A.tolerant B.cautious C.supportive D.disappointed
【答案】BDCC
【解析】本文是一篇议论文。科齐亚特克的曼彻斯特理工学院高中的一位老师认为实践对学生尤为重要,并介绍了大家对职业教育的刻板印象和大肆鼓励攻读学位的现象。
12. 推理判断题。根据第二段的“He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical.When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?”(他是新罕布什尔州一所高中的老师,那里的学习不是书本、考试和机械记忆,而是实践。什么时候,学生们能够说出美国第13任总统的名字,但却被一根断了的自行车链条完全压倒,这一点成为了公认的智慧?)可推知,提到一条断了的自行车链条是为了表示学生们缺少实践能力。故选B。
13. 细节理解题。根据第四段“But he's also found a kind of insidious prejudice.Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority. Schools in the family of vocational education "have that stereotype...that it's for kids who can't make it academically,"he says.”(但他也发现了一种潜在的偏见。用手工作几乎被视为自卑的标志。职业教育家庭中“有一种刻板印象……这是为那些在学业上不能胜任的孩子们准备的,”他说)可知,有一种偏见认为职业教育是为那些学业不成功的孩子准备的。故选D。
14. 推理判断题。根据第六段的“But the headlong(轻率的)push into bachelor's degrees for all---and the subtle devaluing of anything less---misses an important point:That's not the only thing the American economy needs.”( 但是,对所有人来说,大肆攻读学士学位——以及对任何不具备学士学位的人进行微妙的贬值——忽略了一个要点:这不是美国经济所需要的唯一东西)可推知,大肆攻读学士学位是高估了高等教育的价值。故选C。
15. 观点态度题。根据文章最后一段最后三句“Koziatek's Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap. Koziatek's school is a wake-up call.When education becomes one-size-fits-all,it risks overlooking a nation's diversity of gifts.”(科齐亚特克的曼彻斯特理工学院高中正试图填补这一空白。科齐亚特克的学校是一个警钟。当教育变得一刀切时,它有可能忽视一个国家天赋的多样性)可推知,作者对科齐亚特克的学校的态度是支持的。故选C。

阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
(2022·全国·高二课时练习)E-books are lighter and more convenient 36. (carry)than paper books, but there may be disadvantages compared with paper books.
I received a Kindle e-book reader for my birthday, as I enjoy “light reading". In addition to the science articles 37. I have to read for work, I immediately filled it with mysteries by my favourite authors. But I soon found that I had difficulty in 38. (remember)the names of characters from chapter to chapter. At first, I thought it was 39. I was getting older—but then I discovered that I didn't have this problem 40. I read paper books.
When I discussed this with my friends and colleagues, I found I wasn't the only one 41. suffered from "e-book moment". Online, I 42. (discover)that Google's Larry Page himself had concerns about research 43. (show)that on-screen reading is slower than reading on paper.
This seems like a particularly troubling trend for scientists, 44. e-books are slowly taking the place of the heavy books that they usually have to carry. On many levels, e-books seem better than paper books. But some studies suggest that there may be important advantages in paper books
45. your goal is to remember what you read for a long time.
【答案】
36. to carry
37. that/which
38. remembering
39. because
40. when/while/as
41. who/that
42. discovered
43. showing
44. where
45. if
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过比较说明了纸质书和电子书的不同。
36. 考查非谓语动词。句意:电子书比纸质书更轻,更方便携带,但与纸质书相比可能有缺点。此处是“主语+be+ adj. +to do”结构,句子的主语就是动词不定式的宾语,主动表示被动。故填to carry。
37. 考查定语从句。句意:除了我工作中必须阅读的科学文章外,我还立刻在书中写满了我最喜欢的作家写的神秘故事。所填词引导定语从句,先行词为the science articles,关系词在从句中作宾语,指物。故填that或which。
38. 考查动名词作宾语。句意:但我很快就发现,我很难记住每一章人物的名字。 固定搭配:have difficulty(in)doing sth.“做某事有困难”,其中动名词作宾语。故填remembering。
39. 考查原因状语从句。句意:起初,我以为这是因为我变老了,但后来我发现,当我读纸质书时,我没有这个问题。此处是because引导的原因状语从句。故用because。
40. 考查时间状语从句。句意:起初,我以为这是因为我变老了,但后来我发现,当我读纸质书时,我没有这个问题。此处指“当我读纸质书时,我没有这个问题”,所以是含时间状语从句的复合句,由从属连词when,while或as引导。故填when/while/as。
41. 考查定语从句。句意:当我与朋友和同事讨论这个问题时,我发现我并不是唯一一个遭受“电子书时刻”困扰的人。 分析句子结构, suffered from "e-book moment"是一个定语从句,先行词是the only one,指人,关系词在从句中作主语。故填that或who。
42. 考查一般过去时。句意:在网上,我发现谷歌的拉里•佩奇本人也对一项研究表示担忧,该研究表明,在屏幕上阅读比在纸上阅读要慢。此处表示过去发生的动作,所以用一般过去时。故填discovered。
43. 考查现在分词作后置定语。句意:在网上,我发现谷歌的拉里•佩奇本人也对一项研究表示担忧,该研究表明,在屏幕上阅读比在纸上阅读要慢。research与show之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填showing。
44. 考查定语从句。句意:对于科学家来说,这似乎是一个特别令人不安的趋势,因为电子书正在慢慢取代他们通常必须携带的沉重书籍。此处trend为先行词,并且关系词在从句中作抽象地点状语。故填where。
45. 考查条件状语从句。句意:但一些研究表明,如果你的目标是长时间记住你所阅读的内容,纸质书可能有重要的优势。此处是if引导的条件状语从句。故填if。

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2021·湖北襄阳·高二期末)There is no school equal to a decent (体面的) home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.
There are two typical examples: Edison’s mother and our mother. As you all know, Thomas Edison is one of the most outstanding scientists and inventors in the world. Unbelievably, young Tom was in school for only three months. It is said that he liked to ask strange questions, many of which have nothing to do with learning. His teacher didn’t understand why he had so many strange questions. He didn’t want to teach Tom any more. He asked Tom’s mother to take the boy home. Tom’s mother taught him to read and write, and she found him to be a very good pupil. He learned very fast and became very interested in science. It was she who played an important role in Edison’s growth. Although we can’t compare with Edison, our mother played a more important role in our growth than his mother. Our dad was an English teacher who taught high school students. For many years, he had been cautious and conscientious (认真的) towards work. Mom stayed home and homeschooled their four children. Three of us had no trouble in learning but my sister Catherine still could not read by fifth grade, and worse still, did not even know the alphabet (字母表).
My mother did some research and found that Catherine had some sort of learning disability. She sent Catherine to a public school to get some help. Catherine made many friends at school and amazed everyone with her gift for telling creative stories in class, but she still couldn’t master reading skills. After all the testing was done, the school had my parents come in. They were told that based on the test results, they should just take Catherine home, which was very similar to Edison’s experience. However, the biggest difference is that Edison was not stupid, and my sister really had learning disabilities.

【答案】One possible version:
Tears of sadness ran down my dad’s cheeks. However, my mom’s jaw was set in quiet determination. As they walked back to the car, she turned to him and said, “I know she’s not stupid. Soon after, my mom discovered a learning system that focused heavily on lesson repetition and building slowly on the previous exercises. She worked with Catherine for four hours every morning while the rest of us studied on our own. It was hard for both of them, but she often told crying Catherine, “Failure is not an option. You are going to learn to read, and we’ll both try! You have to learn to read! You will learn to read.”
In time, Catherine got it. By the time she graduated from eighth grade, she was reading almost at grade level. She continued improving and was reading above grade level when she graduated from high school. Catherine came to love reading and writing. She became a very famous writer. A number of wonderful novels were published all over the country. Many of her major works were popular with the public and some books were translated into other languages. All of this was because of a wonderfully devoted mother who was absolutely the best teacher ever—for all four of us.
