Passage 1（2023春·广东汕头·高一校考期中）
It has been four years since Grandma Joy told her grandson that she had never seen the most beautiful views of America. Since then, they have gone on many cross-country trips.
Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.
As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.
They have since visited 29 different national parks across America---from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and  is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”
“I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.
Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.
1．Why did Brad Ryan visit his grandma in 2015?
A．To cheer himself up.
B．To please his grandma.
C．To take his grandma to travel.
D．To share his travelling experiences.
2．How did Brad Ryan feel when he heard his grandma had never seen the ocean or mountains?
A．Shocked. B．Sad.
C．Doubtful. D．Excited
3．What influence did Brad Ryan’s grandma have on him?
A．She made him live a better life.
B．She helped him find his life goal.
C．She told him to have peace of mind.
D．She gave him a lot of encouragement.
4．What is Brad Ryan’s purpose of posting their trips online?
A．To advise young people to take a trip.
B．To share his joy of travelling with his grandma.
C．To encourage the young to keep their elders company.
D．To show young people what they can learn from their elders.

【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．C
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了Brad Ryan和祖母的旅行以及他对此的感受。
1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.”可知，布拉德·瑞安(Brad Ryan) 2015年去看望85岁的奶奶时，已经厌倦了兽医学校的学习。他希望一些高质量的家庭时间将有助于提高他的精神。由此可知，他去看望奶奶是希望提升他的精神。A（使自己振作起来）表达此意。故选A。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains”可知，当听到奶奶再也看不见大海和山脉的时候，他心碎了。由此可知，他很“伤心”。故选B。
3．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and  is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.””可知，Ryan认为，祖母每天早上醒来都为能活着而心存感激，这教会了他如何生活。和祖母在一起，Ryan不得不放慢脚步，用不同的方式看待生活，这让生活丰富了很多。由此推知，祖母使得Ryan过一种更好的生活。故选A。
4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.
”可知，瑞安把他们所有的旅行都贴在了Facebook上。他希望更多的年轻人能抽出时间和他们的长辈在一起。“我想让年轻人知道，和祖父母在一起很酷。我们可以从长辈那里学到很多东西。”由此判断出，他把和祖母的旅行发布到网上的目的是鼓励年轻人们抽时间和长辈在一起，陪伴他们。故选C。

Passage 2 （2023春·江苏淮安·高一校联考期中）
My sister Alice and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette (香烟) butts (烟头) for seven years. One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”.
At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is not your ashtray (烟灰缸)” written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown—in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the Earth. But it does, and all rubbish does!
Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts.
At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups in America.
Now there even groups in England, Australia, and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for what we do. But we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the Earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.
One day, it will be.
5．What did the writer think about the cigarette butts in the first place?
A．They made the town smelly. B．They made the town unhealthy.
C．They made the town dirty. D．They made the town poor.
6．What does the writer do with the cigarette butts?
A．Give ashtrays to the smokers. B．Stop people buying cigarettes.
C．Pick up the cigarette butts. D．Win prizes for starting groups.
7．From the passage we can know that _____.
A．no companies wanted to give money to them
B．the writer believes that the Earth will be a better and cleaner place
C．there are only 45 “No Butts About It”
D．the writer likes to be on newspapers and win prizes
8．Which is the best tittle for the passage?
A．Save our Town From Cigarette Butts. B．Buy Yourself An Ashtray.
C．Cigarette Butts Also Destroy Other Countries. D．No Butts Prize.

【答案】5．C 6．A 7．B 8．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者姐妹两个人为了不让人们乱认烟头而发起了一个组织，并积极向公司或组织寻求帮助，在过去几年里她们的组织给美国，甚至其他国家带来了影响，她们也因此受到奖项，她们只希望地球环境变得更好。
5．细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts.(他们让小镇看起来很丑，所以我们决定成立一个小组，让人们不再扔烟蒂。)”可知，她们成立该组织的最初原因是：烟头让城市变得非常难看。故选C。
6．细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts.(后来，我们写信给一些公司，向他们要钱帮助我们。我们用这些钱买了烟灰缸送给吸烟者。我们希望吸烟者随身携带烟灰缸，这样他们就不用掉烟头了。)”可知，作者找公司赞助买了烟灰缸给那些抽烟的人。故选A。
7．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“We just want to make the Earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.(我们只是想让地球成为一个更好、更清洁的地方，为动物、植物和人类。)”可以推测出，作者相信地球终有一天会变得更好更干净，故选B。
8．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的“They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”.(他们让小镇看起来很丑，所以我们决定成立一个小组，让人们不再扔烟蒂。我们叫它“没有烟头”)”可知，短文主要介绍作者和她的姐姐一直设法呼吁人们不要乱扔烟头，希望地球环境变得更好，A选项“Save our Town From Cigarette Butts.(把我们的城镇从烟头中拯救出来。)”可作为最好的题目，故选A。

Passage 3（2023春·黑龙江大庆·高一铁人中学校考期中）
A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."
The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.
9．The underlined part means a person who __________.
A．always has a sweet smile B．is as pretty as an apple
C．is loved more than anyone else D．looks like an apple
10．The father didn’t pick the boy up because he________.
A．was very lazy B．thought the mother had done that
C．forgot to do so D．was too tired to do so
11．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Be careful in everything you do. B．Love is the most important.
C．Learn to forgive others D．Everyone can make mistakes.
12．What do you think of the husband?
A．Warm-hearted. B．Careful.
C．Hard-working D．Broad-minded.

【答案】9．C 10．D 11．C 12．D
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了一对夫妻结婚11年后才有的儿子被妻子弄丢了，丈夫没有责备他的妻子，反而是很大度地谅解了她。以此告诉我们在这个世界里，谅解他人是多么地重要。
9．词句猜测题。根据第一段1, 2行“A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye.(一对夫妇在结婚11年后有了一个儿子。他们是一对有爱心的夫妻。男孩是他们的掌上明珠)”可知他们结婚11年才有孩子，那么肯定非常宠爱他。该词应该是指C项的意思。故C正确。
10．细节理解题。根据文章第一段2,3行“one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son.”可知，丈夫很累了，所以让妻子去接孩子。故D正确。
11．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful. (有时我们花太多的时间去问谁应该被责备。我们错过许多机会给彼此支持，让彼此感受到人情的温暖。摆脱你的不愿原谅，自私，害怕，你将会发现世界是如此美好）”可知本文告诉我们的是要学会谅解他人，因为我们谅解了他人，我们才会发现我们这个世界会更加美好。故C正确。
12．推理判断题。根据文章中叙述结婚11年后才有的儿子被妻子弄丢了，他没有责备他的妻子，反而是很大度地谅解了她。说明丈夫的心胸很开阔。故D正确。

Passage 4 （2022秋·安徽合肥·高一合肥一六八中学校考期中）
New England holds some special museums. They are devoted largely or entirely to the work of just one person. And they are the artists’ birthplaces or onetime homes. Here are four examples of such museums.
Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum
The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the artist’s sculptures (雕塑) are, especially those related to Native Americans.

The museum is in the Jefferson Cutter House, an 1830 Greek styled building.
Norman Rockwell Museum
Rockwell (1894-1978) was America’s well-known artist. The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present location, Robert A．M. Stern-designed building in 1993. Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell's artworks.
Kids 16 and under: free; adults: $20; the old: at a 10% discount (折扣)

Edward Gorey House is also known as the Elephant House. Gorey had respect for animals. The activities of the house, from art education to exhibits, show Gorey's support of animal well-being.
Gibert Stuart Birthplace and Museum
Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist, His drawing of George is the basis of the first president’s portrait (画像) on the dollar. Stuart painted more than a thousand portraits throughout his life.

13．细节理解题。根据小标题Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum下列段落中“The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the artist’s sculptures (雕塑) are, especially those related to Native Americans. (Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944)这个名字可能不太熟悉，但这位艺术家的几件雕塑很熟悉，尤其是那些与印第安人有关的雕塑)”可知，Cyrus E. Dallin创作了与印第安人有关的著名作品。故选D项。
14．细节理解题。根据小标题Norman Rockwell Museum下列条目“Kids 16 and under: free; adults: $20; the old: at a 10% discount (16岁及以下儿童：免费；成人：20美元；老人：打九折)”可知，两个老人是成人所需要的40美元打九折，为36美元。故选A项。
15．推理判断题。根据Gibert Stuart Birthplace and Museum下列段落中“Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist, His drawing of George is the basis of the first president’s portrait(画像) on the dollar.  (Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828)创作了美国艺术家最熟悉的作品，他所画的George是第一任总统美元肖像画的基础)”可知，美元上的George肖像是以Gilbert Stuart作品为基础的，所以游客们在Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum可以了解到一些美国货币的历史。故选D项。

Passage 6（2022秋·广东深圳·高一校考期中）
4 Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier
For the business traveler who is all about efficiency: Check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum of trouble.
When you are pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.
1. Yotel New York
The self-service kiosks (售货亭) at this high-tech New York hotel work just like the ones you’d see at an airport. There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key. There is even a robotic luggage bellboy. You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker (say, for a day trip). This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do, like me, is heading to a series of meetings
2. Marriott Detroit Airport
Another option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel (I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet). Here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.
3. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about three minutes, when I left, I was equally impressed-with the fast check-out. An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line.
4. Radisson: LaCrosse
The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few selected hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text. When you get the kiosk, you scan the barcode to get your key without any other steps required. It’s super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well.
19．What does “infuriate” mean in the first paragraph?
A．interest B．anger C．trouble D．mislead
20．Which two hotels offers a mobile app for customers to check in?
A．Yotel New York and Marriott Detroit Airport
B．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson: Lacrosse
C．Marriott Detroit Airport and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
D．Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson: Lacrosse
21．Which hotel will send you receipt by email?
A．Yotel New York
B．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
C．Radisson: Lacrosse
D．Marriott Detroit Airport
22．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．At Yotel New York, a robot will help you with all the check-in process
B．With its check-in app, you may enter your room in Marriott without a key
C．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is close to an airport terminal.
D．The barcode you receive from Radisson contributes to the fast check-in

【答案】19．B 20．D 21．B 22．D
【导语】这是一篇应用文。介绍了让人们的生活更轻松的4家宾馆。
19．词句猜测题。划线词句前半部分“When you are pressed for time on a business trip (当你出差时间紧迫时)”以及后文“a slow hotel check-in process (缓慢的宾馆登记手续)”说明当你出差时，遇到时间紧迫，但宾馆登记手续却非常的缓慢的情况，你肯定会很着急，很气恼，从而推知划线词句“nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. (没有什么比缓慢的酒店登记手续更让你infuriate)”其中划线词汇应为“使着急，让某人发怒”的意思，选项B“激怒”与之意义最为接近。故选B项。
20．细节理解题。根据2. Marriott Detroit Airport下列段落中“Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (Marriott今年将向325家酒店推出手机入住应用程序，其中包括Marriott Detroit Airport宾馆)”以及4. Radisson: LaCrosse下列段落中“At a few selected hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text. (在一些选定的酒店，比如威斯康辛州的Radisson Lacrosse酒店，你可以使用手机应用程序注册，然后通过电子邮件或文本接收条形码)”可知，Marriott Detroit Airport和Radisson: Lacrosse两家宾馆提供手机应用程序供顾客办理入住。故选D项。
21．细节理解题。根据3. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis下列段落中“An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. (一个代理人拿着ipad在大厅与你会面，并索要一封电子邮件用作收据)”可知，Hyatt Regency Minneapolis宾馆会通过电子邮件发送收据。故选B项。
22．细节理解题。根据4. Radisson: LaCrosse下列段落中“At a few selected hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text. When you get the kiosk, you scan the barcode to get your key without any other steps required. It’s super fast. (在威斯康星州的 Radisson Lacrosse 等一些精选酒店，你可以使用移动应用程序注册，然后通过电子邮件或文本接收条形码。当你获得kiosk时，你可以扫描条形码来获得钥匙，而不需要任何其他步骤。这超级快)”可知，你从Radisson收到的条形码有助于快速办理入住手续。故选D项。

Exodus Travels
This once-in-a-lifetime journey visits Aldabra Atoll, one of the most remote UNESCO World Heritage sites on the planet. Hidden away from the impact of humans, Aldabra has managed to sustain a population of 152,000 giant tortoises. This is the trip for wildlife enthusiasts.

Passage 9 （2023春·广东惠州·高一校考期中）
The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A．D．, the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities（容量） slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still funtional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D．P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
29．How many people could the Circus Maximus hold?
A．104,944. B．107,601. C．About 150,000. D．About 250,000.
30．Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest?
A．Michigan Stadium. B．Beaver Stadium. C．Ohio Stadium. D．Kyle Field.
31．What do the listed stadiums have in common?
A．They host big games. B．They have become tourist attractions.
C．They were built by Americans. D．They are favored by architects.

【答案】29．D 30．C 31．A
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上最大的体育场。目前这些体育场仍在运行并且还在承办大型体育赛事。
29．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.(然而，与这座城市容纳了25万人的大竞技场相比，这只是小巫见大巫。)”可知，Circus Maximus的可以容纳250,000人。故选D项。
30．细节理解题。根据文章最后部分中的“Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U.S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened October 7, 1922.(美国俄亥俄州哥伦布市俄亥俄体育场，容纳人数：104,944人。1922年10月7日开业。)”可知Ohio Stadium在1922年10月7日开业；由最后一段“Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927. （密歇根体育场，美国密歇根州安阿伯市，容量: 107,601人，开业日期: 1927年10月1日。）可知Michigan Stadium的开业时间是1927年10月1日；由文中最后一段“Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960. （美国宾夕法尼亚州立大学海狸体育馆，可容纳106,572人。开放时间: 1960年9月17日。）可知Beaver Stadium的开业时间是1960年9月17日；最后一段“Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.（凯尔菲尔德，学院站，得克萨斯州，容量: 102,512。开放时间: 1927年9月24日。）”可知Kyle Field的开业时间是1927年9月24日；通过对比，Ohio Stadium的开业时间最久远，是最老的体育场。故选C项。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport. (所有这些体育场馆仍在使用，仍在开放，仍在举办世界上最大的体育赛事。)”可知，这些体育馆都还在承办大型的体育赛事，这是他们的共同点。故选A项。


Passage 10（2023春·江苏苏州·高一统考期中）
Dear Friend,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely,
Kristi Holl, Instructor
Institute of Children's Literature

Passage 11（2023春·黑龙江双鸭山·高一双鸭山一中校考期中）
Toronto is a city of neighborhoods, so wherever you are in Toronto, you're bound to find yourself surrounded by shopping, dining and culture experiences unique to that specific area.
Toronto's CN Tower
It's one of the world's tallest structures at 1,815 feet and the glassed-in elevators offer visitors a sense of just how high that is.

Passage 12（2023春·广东汕尾·高一汕尾市城区汕尾中学校考期中）
Last week, our forum(论坛)asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English. We didn’t expect to get so many posts! Here are some of our favorites, to remind us that some of the English we learn in the classroom is rather different from the English in the outside world.
Yancy
People say that the British always play safe with what they eat. Not true! I went to a summer school in Manchester and my English teacher was called Maggie. One day, a different teacher took our class. He told us that Maggie couldn’t teach that day COZ she had a frog in her throat. Poor Maggie-but why did she try to eat such a big frog?
135 comments
Sophie
When I first visited New York, I went to a downtown shopping centre to buy some winter boots. At the information desk at the entrance, I asked a lady where the shoe shop was. She said that it was on the first floor. So I went up to the first floor, but I couldn’t find any shoes. I decided to leave. When I was looking for the exit, I saw that shoes were actually sold downstairs on the ground floor, not the first floor. Why did she give me the wrong information?
128 comments
Zheng Xu
The British must have really high standards. I was part of a student exchange programme between a university in England and my university in China. I spent days preparing and writing my first English paper. I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to getting a positive comment. When I got the paper back, I found my teacher had written the comment “Not bad!” Not bad? But there weren’t any errors in my paper.
85 comments
38．What does the underlined sentence “she had a frog in her throat” probably mean?
A．She didn’t play safe with what she ate.
B．She has drawn a picture of frog on her face.
C．She ate a big frog and her throat was blocked.
D．She couldn’t speak clearly because her throat is dry.
39．According to the Sophie and Zheng Xu, what may cause the misunderstandings?
A．Both of them have difficulty in learning English.
B．They didn’t know the words’ different meanings in other countries.
C．The spellings are too complicated for both of them to understand.
D．The speakers spoke so fast that Sophie and Zheng Xu couldn’t follow.
40．Where can we probably find the passage above?
A．In a novel. B．In a magazine. C．On the Internet. D．In a diary.

【答案】38．D 39．B 40．C
【分析】本文是记叙文，网站论坛分享了三个故事（课堂学的英语和现实生活中的英语产生的误解）。
38．句意猜测题。根据Yancy分享的故事“People say that the British always play safe with what they eat.”可知，英国人吃东西总是很小心的。但Yancy接着说“Not true!”然后讲述自己的故事：她的英语老师Maggie没来，另一位老师替她上课，并解说原因是“she had a frog in her throat.。但是Yancy却说“Poor Maggie-but why did she try to eat such a big frog?（为什么她要吃这么大的青蛙，以至于卡在咽喉）显然她从字面意思去理解，理解错了。由此可知，划线句子的意思是：嗓子嘶哑，说不出话来。故选D项。
39．细节理解题。Sophie的遭遇：根据“So I went up to the first floor, but I couldn’t find any shoes.”中的“went up（上）”可知，Sophie把the first floor理解为了二楼，而在美式英语中，the first floor是一楼，因此产生误解。Zheng Xu 的遭遇：“I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to getting a positive comment.”可知，他想得到老师的肯定。然而老师的评价是“Not bad!”。实际上，Not bad意思是”很好”，但是她从字面意思理解为“不坏”，误解为老师的一般评价。由此可知，他们的遭遇都是应为不了解英语在其他国家的不同意思所造成的。故选B项。
40．推理判断题。根据第一段提到的“our forum（论坛）”以及三人分享故事后面的comments（评论）可推知，文章来自网络。故选C项。

Passage 13 （2022秋·江苏苏州·高一统考期中）
To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID, two brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.
Having just arrived on the sands of the Pacific Ocean, Aiden and Louis Ardine have now completed their five-month walk which started on the Asbury Park boardwalk in New Jersey. They hoped to raise $30,000 for some charities (慈善组织) that were helping restaurant workers waiting for lockdown (隔离) to end, but ended up making $70,000 — which they gave way to the COCO Fund and the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation.
“This would not have been possible without the help of a huge community of people, whether people were donating or helping us guide our way across the United States.” said Aiden Ardine. “This was surely an adventure full of hope, and it proved people are born good and want to help their neighbors.”
Just like cross-country trips in this nation, their journey was characterized by amazing views, long roads, and helpful strangers: like a man who passed them in the extreme heat of summertime Iowa, before doubling back and giving them a cold Gatorade; or a Nevada campground manager who left them stay for free.
In Utah they had what the naturalist John Muir would have described as an “interview” with a black bear, when rounding a corner in the path, they found themselves within a few feet of it.
When they reached San Francisco, their supporters were waiting for them on the beach. Afterwards they flew home along with their mom who had been there to meet them. After their adventurous stay away from home, we can only imagine she was really feeling proud of her sons.
41．What did the two brothers collect money for?
A．Setting up some charities. B．Helping to end the lockdown.
C．Completing their five-month walk. D．Aiding restaurant workers stuck at home.
42．Which word can best describe the two brothers?
A．Humorous. B．Caring. C．Curious. D．Honest.
43．What happened to the brothers in Utah?
A．They met with a bear. B．They were interviewed.
C．They visited a naturalist. D．They were lost in the path.
44．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．A Long Journey B．Walk with Love
C．A Proud Mother D．Adventure with Fun

【答案】41．D 42．B 43．A 44．B

44．主旨大意题。根据第一段“To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID, two brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.”（为了给疫情期间不得不待在家里的饭店员工们筹钱，Aiden和Louis Ardine兄弟俩决定步行3200英里走遍美国为他们筹钱。）可知，这篇文章主要讲述兄弟俩为了帮助饭店员工们度过疫情，步行3200英里走遍美国为他们筹钱的故事。所以是充满爱的步行旅途。故选B。

Passage 14（2022秋·浙江宁波·高一慈溪中学校考期中）
When I was in school, I participated in an internship (实习期) with a hospital chaplain (牧师). This largely included me visiting certain hospital patients and then discussing the communication with the chaplain.
I had no special training in this, and introducing myself to strangers was not my natural talent. On one visit, I cautiously entered a darkened room to find an elderly man lying lonely in the bed. He was awake, but very weak, confused and anxious. He badly wanted to communicate something, but I couldn’t understand what he was saying. He obviously didn’t want me to leave, but I felt so lost and uncomfortable that I had to leave the room after only several minutes.
The next time I was at the hospital, I was arranged to make follow-up visits with the same list of patients. I expected my time with the old man to be just as short as the last time. As I arrived at the room, the first thing I noticed was that the lights were on. His daughter was there visiting him. He was sitting in the bed and looked much better. I was certain the man didn’t remember me at all, but he recognized me immediately, saying, "I remember you. You were the angel that gave me hope in my darkest hour!" I was so amazed that I didn’t know how to respond.
    I may never be able to explain it, but somehow he found in me something he needed at an important point in his life, just because I was there. I have thought about this encounter (相遇) often over the past 25 years. It has shaped the way I see life, the way I see myself, and the way I see others. Obviously, we can’t know the effect our actions, or even just our presence, will have on life.
45．Why did the writer leave the elderly man soon on the first visit?
A．They had a short and boring conversation.
B．The elderly man wanted to stay by himself.
C．The writer was frightened by the elderly man.
D．The writer didn’t know what he could do to help.
46．What happened on the writer’s second visit to the elderly man?
A．The elderly man’s condition turned much better.
B．The elderly man could hardly remember the writer.
C．The writer planned to communicate more deeply with the elderly man.
D．The writer wasn’t surprised at being called an angel by the elderly man.
47．The elderly man regarded the writer as his angel most probably because _______.
A．he was encouraged by the writer’s words
B．the writer’s second visit moved him deeply
C．he was impressed by the writer’s friendliness
D．the writer’s first visit gave him much strength
48．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Getting a New Talent. B．An Angel by Accident.
C．Saving a Lonely Old Man. D．Communication Makes Life Better.

【答案】45．D 46．A 47．D 48．B

46．细节理解题。根据第三段“He was sitting in the bed and looked much better.”（他坐在床上，看上去好多了。），可知第二次作者来看望老人的时候，老人的状态好多了。故选A项。
47．推理判断题。根据文章第三段I was certain the man didn’t remember me at all, but he recognized me immediately, saying, "I remember you. You were the angel that gave me hope in my darkest hour!"（我确信老人根本不记得我了，但他立刻认出了我，说:“我记得你。”你是在我最黑暗的时刻给我希望的天使!”），可知老人认为作者的第一次看望给了老人力量和安慰，让他度过那段难熬的时光。故选D项。
48．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“On one visit, I cautiously entered a darkened room to find an elderly man lying lonely in the bed.”（有一次，我小心翼翼地走进一间黑暗的房间，发现一位老人孤独地躺在床上。），可知作者时随机进入了一间病房；第二段“He obviously didn’t want me to leave, but I felt so lost and uncomfortable that I had to leave the room after only several minutes.”（他显然不想让我离开，但我感到非常失落和不舒服，几分钟后就离开了。）以及第三段“I was so amazed that I didn’t know how to respond.”（我惊讶得不知该如何回答。”）和最后一段“Obviously, we can’t know the effect our actions, or even just our presence, will have on life.”（显然，我们无法知道我们的行为，甚至只是我们的存在，会对生活产生什么影响。），可知作者对自己与老人当初的交流给老人带来的安慰和力量是作者自己都没有意识到的。对于老人来说，作者就像一位天使，故选B项。

Passage 15（2022秋·广东广州·高一广州四十七中校考期中）
I don’t remember the exact date I met Marty for the first time. Like a lot of people who want to get through a checkout line, I found my thoughts on speed, nothing more. The line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier, who was receiving money from customers.
He was an old man in his sixties. I thought, well, it probably took him a little longer to get the jobs done. For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before he began scanning the goods they were purchasing. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’s it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and talk with them briefly.
I thought it was strange, but I guessed I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a conversation without thinking. Usually, after a while, you don’t give any thought to the question and just say something back quietly.
This old cashier seemed sincere about wanting to know how people were feeling. Meanwhile, the high-tech cash register rang up their purchases and he announced what they owed. When customers handed money to him, he pushed the appropriate keys, the cash drawer popped open, and he counted out their change.
Then magic happened.
He placed the change in his left hand, walked around the counter to the customers, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. As their hands met, the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. “I want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.” The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.
Now it was my turn. I glanced down at the name tag on his red waistcoat, the kind experienced Wal-Mart cashier wore. It read, “Marty.”
Marty told me how much I owed and I handed him some money. The next thing I knew he was standing beside me, offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand. His kind eyes locked onto mine. Smiling, and with a firm handshake…
49．While the author stood in the checkout line, she felt ______.
A．mad B．enthusiastic C．comfortable D．impatient
50．In the opinion of the author, people tended to ______.
A．talk about unimportant topics B．develop a mindless conversation
C．remain calm while having a talk D．face communication problems
51．Why did the author think Marty was special?
A．He was patient with all the questions from customers.
B．He spent as much time as possible serving customers.
C．He expressed his sincerity while giving back the change.
D．He showed particular interest in customers’ personal life.
52．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Marty was a talkative man.
B．Marty cared a lot about what he did.
C．The author got along well with others.
D．The author was dissatisfied with such a waste of time.

【答案】49．D 50．B 51．C 52．B

The line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier, who was receiving money from customers.”（像很多想要排队结账的人一样，我发现我对速度的看法，仅此而已。我所在的队伍移动得没有我想要的那么快，我瞥了一眼收银员，他正在收顾客的钱。）可以推断，作者在排队结账时，感觉队伍移动的慢，不厌烦了。故选D项。
50．细节理解题。根据第三段中“I thought it was strange, but I guessed I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a conversation without thinking.”（我觉得这很奇怪，但我猜我已经习惯了人们问我过得怎么样，只是为了不用思考的谈话。）可知，作者认为人们倾向于发展不用思考的谈话。故选B项。
51．推理判断题。根据中“He placed the change in his left hand, walked around the counter to the customers, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. As their hands met, the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes.”（他把零钱放在左手里，绕过柜台走向顾客，伸出右手，表示友好。当他们的手碰到一起时，老出纳员看着顾客的眼睛。）以及他说的话“I want to thank you for shopping here today,”（我想感谢你们今天在这里购物,）“You have a great day. Bye-bye.”（祝你今天过得愉快。再见。）等内容可知，作者认为老收银员Marty特别之处在于他找还零钱时表示了诚意。故选C项。
52．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Marty told me how much I owed and I handed him some money. The next thing I knew he was standing beside me, offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand. His kind eyes locked onto mine. Smiling, and with a firm handshake…”（Marty告诉我欠了多少钱，我就给了他一些钱。接下来我知道的就是他站在我旁边，伸出右手，左手拿着我的零钱。他慈祥的眼睛紧紧盯着我。微笑着，有力地握手……）可以推断出Marty非常在乎他所做的事情。故选B项。

Passage 16 （2023春·河北石家庄·高一石家庄市第十五中学校考期中）
Another person’s enthusiasm (热忱) was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words, “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this town and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.” My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm. ”
That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat (别墅), where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary (受益人). My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.

【答案】53．C 54．A 55．B 56．A

53．推理判断题。根据第二段的I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this town and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.(我想让你见见这个家伙，他是这个镇上出了名的最坏的男孩，而且最迟明天早上他就会朝你扔石头。)可知，由第二段内容可以看出，作者父亲对他的评价很低。故选C。
54．主旨大意题。根据第三段的My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things. (我的继母改变了这一切。她改变了很多事情。)以及其它内容可推断，第3段主要讲述了继母对这个家的影响，故选A。
