　　【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述的是小男孩CartierCarey通过自己的努力赚到的钱和募捐筹集的资金,为社区单亲妈妈送来尿布和湿巾等物品,服务他人回报社会的事情。

1.A　句意:对很多人来说,这是学习自己挣钱的第一步。根据前一句“Lots of kids set up lemonade stands in the summer.”和money可知,他们卖东西是为了赚钱,这是他们学习“赚钱”的第一步。

2.B　句意:对于11岁的Cartier Carey来说,这是一个做更多事情的机会。根据下文“　4　 it back into his community. His goal is to help single mothers in need.”可知,对于Carey来说这是一个做更多事情的机会。 

3.B　根据下文“　4　 it back into his community. His goal is to help single mothers in need.”可知,他把赚到的钱(利润)用于投资回报社区了,而不是储存起来。 

4.A　根据下文“With all the stress and 　5　 uncertainty brought on by the pandemic, Carey decided to focus on the basics: diapers and wipes.”可知,Carey将他的钱投入到社区里,重点是尿布和湿巾。 

5.C　句意:面对疫情带来的压力和经济不确定性,Carey决定把重点放在最基本的东西上:尿布和湿巾。根据句意可知,Carey的重点在于尿布和湿巾,旨在帮助有需要的单亲妈妈。全文讲述的是钱,所以和疫情带来的压力并列的是“经济的不确定性”。

6.B　took effect生效;took root生根;made room腾空间;made sense有影响,合理。根据句意可知,此处是指这个项目想法的“起源”,即took root。

7.D　delighted使……高兴;disappointed使……失望;relaxed使……放松;shocked使……震惊。根据Carey帮助单亲妈妈的做法可知,他被单亲妈妈这个群体和现状所“震惊”。

8.A　句意:到7月底,Carey已经通过柠檬水摊和募捐筹集了近5000美元,分发了大约6500块尿布。由上文内容可知,Carey的目标是帮助单亲妈妈,所以是通过赚钱和募捐的钱用于购买尿布,并分发给单亲妈妈。

9.D　loyal忠诚的;used习惯的,用过的;equal平等的;close接近的。由2.2万个尿布可知是“接近”2.5万个尿布的目标了。

10.B　根据下文“Before becoming a ‘lemonade mogul’, Carey launched another community…”可知,Carey不是第一次做这样有价值的事情了,所以对此并不陌生。

11.C　句意:在成为“柠檬水大亨”之前,Carey发起了另一项名为“Carti packs”的社区倡议——为无家可归者提供护理包,里面有除臭剂、肥皂、纸巾,甚至天气变冷时用的暖手炉。由launched 以及项目的内容“为无家可归者提供的护理包”可知,这是一项“community initiative(社区倡议)”。

12.D　句意:同上题。returned返回;employed雇佣;boosted推动,宣扬;contained包含。这里指的是护理包“包含”这些物品。

13.C　由“hand-warmers(暖手炉)”可知,是天气“变冷”。

14.A　句意:Carey说,他最大的快乐来自于知道自己做出了改变,看到自己的努力对他努力服务的人意味着什么。结合句意可知,此处是指给别人提供服务,让Carey感受到了快乐。

15.D 　please使……高兴;ignore忽视;identify识别,鉴定;serve服务,招待。由上文内容可知,Carey所做的事情是在为他人“服务”。

Ⅱ.语法填空

(深圳市第七高级中学 2022 届高三第二次月考试题)Although we often hope that things go 1.　　　　 way we want, luck isn’t always on our side—especially when it comes to career goals. That’s why it’s important to 2.　　　　(effective) plan for the future, whether you’re still studying or having been working for a while.  

A career plan is a practical strategy 3.　　　　 allows you to get career goals and put actions in place. Career planning is a great way to ensure your career is going in the right 4.　　　　(direct). Not only does it help you realize your passion, it also assists your career goals with tangible(实际的) actions and aims.  

Although forming a plan 5.　　　　(be) the first step, it won’t work without continuous effort. That means using your career planner to guide your daily 6.　　　　(activity), while making ongoing changes throughout. This involves tracking your progress, marking off 7.　　　　(finish) goals, or even changing your strategy after realizing it wasn’t quite right for you.  

Keep doing these things,8.　　　　 your career plan is far less likely to fall to the back of your mind. If you’re struggling to stay motivated, consider 9.　　　　(give) yourself rewards for each goal you meet. But remember:your career is a marathon, not a sprint(冲刺). Trying to get too many things done within a short time is only going to set you up to fail 10.　　　　 the long run. 

　　【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了职业规划的作用及如何让你的职业规划成功实现。

1.the　考查冠词。句意:尽管我们经常希望事情能如我们所愿,但运气并不总是站在我们这边——尤其是在职业目标方面。分析句子可知,“we want”为定语从句修饰way,所以是特指,前面要用定冠词the。

2.effectively　考查副词。空格处修饰动词plan,应用副词effectively作状语。

3.which/that　考查定语从句。空格处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词(a practical strategy),在从句中作主语,指物,故用which/that引导。

4.direction　考查词形转换。由空前的形容词right可知,此处应用名词direction,前面有the修饰,表特指,用单数形式。

5.is　考查时态。根据后面句子可知,该句时态为一般现在时,主语是“forming a plan”,谓语用单数。

6.activities　考查名词复数。空格处作宾语,activity为可数名词,日常活动不止一个,应用复数形式activities。

7.finished　考查非谓语动词。句意:这包括跟踪你的进步,标记完成的目标,甚至在意识到它并不适合你后改变你的策略。空格处修饰名词作定语,且表示“被完成了的”,故用过去分词。

8.and　考查连词。句意:坚持做这些事情,你的职业规划就不太可能被抛在脑后。分析句子结构可知,本句为“祈使句+连词+句子”的句式结构,这里表递进关系,应用and。

9.giving　考查非谓语动词。动词consider后接动词的-ing形式作宾语。故填giving。

10.in　考查介词。此处是固定短语in the long run,意为“从长远来看”。

(二)读后续写

My wife called,“Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?”

I threw the newspaper away and rushed to the scene. My only daughter looked frightened. Tears were welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a bowl filled with curd rice which she particularly hated. But my mother and my wife believed firmly that curd rice is beneficial to health. I cleared my throat, and picked up the bowl.“Dina, why don’t you take a few mouthfuls? Just for Dad’s sake, dear.” Dina softened a bit, and wiped her tears with the back of her hands.“OK, Dad. I will eat not just a few mouthfuls, but the whole lot. But, you should…” She hesitated.“Dad, if I eat this entire curd rice, will you give me whatever I ask for?”“Oh sure, darling!” I replied.“Promise.”

My girl stared at her mom and continued,“Ask Mom also to give a promise.” My wife put her hand on Dina’s and said,“Promise.”

“Dear, you still want a new computer? Dad doesn’t have that kind of money right now. OK?” I became a bit anxious.

“No, Dad. I don’t want anything expensive.” Slowly and painfully, she finished eating the rice. Dina came to me with her eyes wide with expectation. All our attention was on her. She demanded,“Dad, I want to have my head shaved off this Sunday!” My wife shouted,“A girl having her head shaved off? Impossible!”

“Dina, can you ask for something else? Seeing you with a clean-shaven head, we’ll be sad,” I said. But Dina said,“No, Dad. I don’t want anything else. You promised to reward me with whatever I ask for. Now, you are going back on your words. Was it not you who told me the story of King Harishchandra, and its moral that we should honor our promises no matter what?” Dina was in tears.

It was time for me to call the shots for our promise which must be kept.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

I insisted that we must keep our words.

A lady walked to me and told me that the boy walking along with my daughter was her son. 

【答案】

I insisted that we must keep our words. I told my mother and wife that if we broke our promises, Dina would never learn to keep her own. So I told Dina her wish would be fulfilled. I accompanied her to the barber’s. With her head clean-shaven, Dina had a round-face, and her eyes looked big and beautiful. The next day, I dropped her at her school. I was about to leave when I heard someone shouting,“Dina, please wait for me!” It was a boy with a hairless head, too. 

A lady walked to me and told me that the boy walking along with my daughter was her son. She told me Dina helped her son a lot. From her words, I knew her son was suffering from a terrible disease and lost all his hair due to the side effects of the treatment. He refused to come back to school, fearing the teasing of the schoolmates. Dina visited him last week and promised him that she would help him out. But the mother never imagined Dina would sacrifice her lovely hair for the sake of her son. I stood with tears welling up in my eyes. My little girl was a true angel!
