（3）故事类 一、    I would mention a journey I made through France the summer after I graduated from college. I had just finished a seasonal job in Paris and was slowly making my way to Greece, where I was to live and teach for a year at Athens College. A business associate of my father's in Pontarlier, an industrial town near France's border with Switzerland, said that he was driving to join his family on the Mediterranean and would be happy to give me a lift.    I joined him in Pontarlier, and we climbed into his luxury Peugeot and set south for Marseille. This man—Mr. D., I'll call him—was wealthy and fancied himself a connoisseur (鉴赏家) of great French food and wine. Like many Frenchmen, he also fancied himself something of a philosopher, and what could be better for a philosopher than a young, attentive, and captive listener?    So he idled(使闲着) us south, stretching what today could be a 10-hour highway drive into a multiple-day moveable feast by taking the most scenic and snail's-paced-country lanes, stopping at great restaurants whenever the mood struck him, which was often, and discoursing(讲述) lovingly and at length on everything from language to politics to women.    How could I complain? I was getting a ride to the Cote d'Azur—which danced all blue-green sea and sun-bright sand in my mind—in the air-conditioned comfort of an elegant Peugeot, and receiving a first-class education in French cuisine, and all for free!    I recall that journey now as a range of images—long, straight, tree-bordered roads and Van Gogh fields, Renoir afternoons of dappled(斑驳的) sunlight and shade, rocky restaurant balconies bordered with bright flowers, laughter and the clink of glasses and the music of French filling the air. I remember drinking a great deal of what seemed to my uneducated nose and mouth to be extraordinarily flavourful red wine.    Eventually we reached Marseille and parted company—both of us, I think, happy for the journey and for its end. In the following years, when summer arrives, I think of road trips.1.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic of road trips.B.To stress the author's preference for summer road trips.

B.He considers himself an expert in a certain field. C.He is rather wealthy and a good listener. D.He is a philosopher fond of educating people. 3.How did the author feel about the trip?A.Impressive and eye-opening.  B. Unforgettable but short.C.Instructive and classic.   D.Inspiring but tiring.4.What does the author mean in the last sentence?A.He missed Mr. D. very much.B.He can't help associating road trips with summer. C.He made road trips with his family every summer.D.He planned road trips with Mr. D. in the following summers.二、    I remember going to the British Museum one day to read up the treatment for some slight illness—hay fever, I thought it was. I got down the book, and read all I came to read; and then, I began to casually study diseases generally. Turning over the pages, I came to typhoid fever, read the symptoms and discovered that I had it. I was wondering what else I had got, and St. Vitus's Dance turned up, which I thought I also had. So I determined to go through it thoroughly and so started alphabetically(照字母顺序排列的): ague I had, just in the acute stage. Cholera I had, with severe complications; and diphtheria I seemed to have been born with.    I sat and considered. What an interesting case I must be from a medical point of view! What a learning material I should be to a medical class! Students would have no need to “walk the hospitals”, if they had me. I was a hospital in myself. All they need do would be to walk around me, and, after that, take their diploma!    I went to my doctor, who is an old friend of mine. I thought I would do him a good turn by going to him now. “What a doctor wants”, I said, “is practice. He will get more practice out of me than out of 1,700 of his ordinary, commonplace patients, with only one or two diseases each.” He said: “Well, what's the matter with you?” I said, “I will not take up your time, with telling you what is the matter with me. But I will tell you what is not the matter with me. I have not got a housemaid's knee(髌前囊炎). Everything else, however, I have got.” And I told him how I came to discover it all.     He felt my pulse, looked at my tongue, and talked about the weather as usual, all for nothing. Then he wrote out a prescription, folded it up and gave it to me, and I put it in my pocket and went out. I did not open it. I took it to the nearest chemist's and handed it in. The man read it and then handed it back. I read the prescription. It ran:    "beefsteak, every 6 hours.    ten-mile walk every morning.    bed at 11 sharp every night.    And don't stuff up your head with things you don't understand."5.Why did the author go to the British Museum the other day?A. To see a doctor.   B. To study medicine.C. To go to an exhibition.  D. To seek for a treatment.6.How did the author find himself affected with various “illnesses”?A. Through a routine check-up.  B. By reading the medical book.C. By consulting with experts.  D. Through self-imagination.7.What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. The writer was put in charge of a hospital.B. The writer could treat his diseases on his own.C. The writer was refusing professional medical training.  D. The writer considered himself valuable to medical study.8.Which of the following can be the main idea of the text?A. It's never too late to learn.B. A disease known is half cured.C. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.D. Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.三、     In 2022, Linda Brown, a Missouri realtor(房地产经纪人), was awarded the Good Neighbor Award. This honor is given by The National Association of Realtors(NAR) in the US. Working alongside her husband Dr. David Brown, she has been transforming abandoned mobile homes into villages of tiny homes that offer permanent housing to homeless people. Together, and with the help of numerous local volunteers, they have developed Eden Village, a unique hub of tiny homes.    Mrs. Brown told Goodnet, "My motivation is a dream that Missouri will be a city where no one sleeps outside and the joy is seeing the life change in our friends whom society has given up on."    The wish to help homeless people, and restore their dignity and self-worth, as Mrs. Brown explained, had been a joint mission for some years. The couple ran a local evening drop-in center for local homeless people called Gardening Tree, for almost a decade. This functioned as a shelter where people experiencing homelessness could grab a bite, shower, do laundry and relax.    But they wanted to do more than what Dr. Brown called a "band-aid". This desire stems from their philosophy that the homeless can get a new life once they have a roof over their heads. With the help of local organizations, the husband and wife team succeeded in raising almost $5 million, which enabled them to transform unused mobile homes and a ruined trailer park into a small village of tiny homes that opened in 2018. They named this place Eden Village, reflecting the sanctuary(庇护) it offers its residents.    As Mrs. Brown said in her award acceptance speech about her journey to creating Eden Village, helping homeless people is something personal. "I watched as my homeless friends walked off into the darkness to a hidden, wet, cold camp while we went home to a warm bed. I had to do something," she said.9.What won Mrs. Brown the Good Neighbor Award?A. Working as a volunteer. B. Helping her neighbors.C. Providing housing for the homeless. D. Operating a drop-in center for the poor.10.Why did Dr. Brown call Gardening Tree a "band-aid"?A.It was used only in case of emergency. B. It didn't function as a lasting home.C. It covered only a very small area. D. It failed to provide food for people.11.How does Mrs. Brown sound in the last paragraph?A. Delighted. B.Confident. C.Sorrowful. D. Embarrassed.12.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Missouri Couple Takes Care of Gardening TreeB. NAR Honors 2022 Good Neighbor Award WinnersC. Volunteers Help Build Eden Village for the HomelessD. Eden Village Founder Wins 2022 Good Neighbor Award四、    Gutiérrez's life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He used to take home between 50 and 60 books every morning. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families.Colombia's capital city of Bogota has 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Gutiérrez's community library is a true representation of how one man's garbage can be another's treasure.    Gutiérrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutiérrez.    Today, his makeshift community library, called "The Strength of Words", occupies most of his home in southern Bogota, and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20.000 books! As word began to spread about his amazing project, people began sending him thousands more books to grow his library.    Despite having done so much for his community, Gutiérrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through garbage cans for reading materials. Today, the Gutiérrez family does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading.    Gutiérrez's journey to give back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us. How might we take a leaf out of Gutiérrez's books and impact the less fortunate around us?13.What inspired Gutiérrez to rescue unwanted books?A. The abandoned Anna Karenina. B. Leo Tolstoy's life.C. Children's living conditions. D. A community-library.14.Why did Gutiérrez start "The Strength of Words"?A. To create a harmonious neighborhood. B. To give his mother sufficient books.C.

An amazing model of education五、    When Emanuel received an email from Professor Richard English at Queen's University, who encouraged him to apply for a PhD in Politics in Belfast, it was a pinch-me moment Emanuel never thought would be possible. After all, just a few short years ago, he was living on the streets, couch-surfing at friends' houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet. Now, one of the world's leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen's University over 4,000 miles away.    Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him, so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life. What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.    Through his high school and community college years, he moved from house to house, living with friends at times and living on the streets at others.    Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life, Emanuel involved himself in school—doing everything he could to earn extra tuition(学费) money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn't get a regular student loan.    Fortunately, the government backed him, having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree and went on to do his Masters.    Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different.    "I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly, not thinking he would reply and to my surprise, he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen's. When I was told I was successful, my whole world changed."17.What does the underlined word "pinch-me" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Imaginary. B. Anticipated. C. Unbelievable. D.Embarrassing.18.What happened to Emanuel in his childhood?A.His father passed away early.B. He received great parental care.C. He was once adopted by his relátives.D. He lived with his friends now and then.19.Which of the following can best describe Emanuel?A.Tough and strong-willed. B. Determined and talented.C.Enthusiastic and generous. D. Hardworking and attractive.20.What is the main idea the author wants to convey to us?A. Well begun is half done. B. Never judge by appearances.C.Many hands make light work. D. You are the architect of your own life.六、Paul O’Sullivan walked around his apartment in the US city of Baltimore one evening in 2014, feeling bored. Just for fun, he decided to try to find out how many other people on Facebook shared his name. Moments later, dozens of Paul O'Sullivans filled his screen and he sent friend requests to them all.As Baltimore Paul looked through the profiles of the Paul O'Sullivans who accepted his invitation, hénoticed something four of them had in common: They were all musicians. Baltimore Paul had an idea. He asked the other three musical Pauls if they'd like to form a band called The Paul O'Sullivans. They all agreed.Starting a band across multiple time zones proved to be nettlesome. Fortunatelv, Manchester Paul,a 59-year-old former professional musician knew how to fix that. They would create a kind of musical assembly line including online sessions.The Band released its first original song, “Namesake,”in March 2016. But just months after the song's release, Baltimore Paul began experiencing health issues that forced him to take time off from making music. The other Pauls also decided to take a break from the band. But they didn't press pause on their friendship. Instead, they made sure Baltimore Paul never felt alone, even with the long distances between them. They shared family pictures and chatted online.Finally, after a four-year break, Baltimore Paul was well enough to start making music again. The first thing the band did was create a music video for “Namesake,” which has now been watched on YouTube more than 50,000 times.“It has been a lovely journey that has lasted seven years so far. A four-stop international tour—one concert in each of our hometowns —would be great,” says Baltimore Paul.“What are the odds,” he says, that a random Facebook request would lead not only to new music but to lasting friendships as well? “Some things are just meant to be.”21.What inspired Baltimore Paul to form a band?A.

For the last 5 years of her life, my most common memory was of her leaned over an outdoor trash can, trying to get enough air.    I was away getting my Master's in Theatre Arts when she passed away. My mind was unhinged(精神错乱的). They pulled me off my desk and took me to the local mental health facility. I was just at tech week for the show Fefu and Her Friends. My officemate and fellow director Sarah Jane Hardy took over the production and saw it safely through.    But this is just the beginning of the kindness that surrounded me. She sat with me in my apartment when I returned and let me fall apart in a safe space. My dad traveled with me from Phoenix to Utah to see the final performance. My department chair allowed me to fold over my thesis(论文) and turn it into an MA researched thesis so I could return home at the end of the year having graduated. My roommates helped motivate me to go to classes.    This was one of the hardest chapters in my life and so many people came to help me to heal. I think before this time I would have prized intelligence or education as the highest trait(特点) in a person, but afterwards, I’ve felt that kindness defines people most.

I had read the e-mail three times before I actually believed it.    Grasped in my hand was the form giving permission to print my story. No faxing for me—I decided to send it back through the mail just to be sure it reached its destination. Filled with excitement, I told the clerk about my good news. "Wow, look at you go!" she said. "That will be ten dollars." I reached for my credit card. "Our system doesn't work today, so we can only accept cash," said the clerk. I searched through my purse. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I carried cash. But now, I rarely did. Then a deep voice behind me said, I'll take care of it." I hadn't noticed the man behind me. I turned to meet him as he held out a ten-dollar bill.    "Congratulations on your story," he said. "Just pay it forward." I thanked him. Then I drove to the seaside restaurant to meet Tina. As we walked back toward our cars, I noticed something on the sidewalk, shining in the sun. I picked up a credit card.    "How are we going to find the person who dropped this?" Tina asked. "First, let's try to spot someone who seems to be searching anxiously," I said. A moment later, Tina said excitedly, "I'll bet that's her!" A young mother had a baby on her back as she dug through some bags.    I approached the woman. "Are you Jessica Slate?" I asked.    Her eyes grew round. "Yes!"    "I believe this is yours," I said, handing her the card.    "Thank you! During normal times, I'd give you a hug," she said. We laughed and bumped elbows instead.    I realized being on both the receiving and the giving end of kind gestures felt equally good. I had experienced an interpretation of paying it forward—first with cash, then with credit.29.Why did the author go to the post office?A.To print his story.  B. To mail the form.C.
