（2022·云南曲靖·校联考一模）When the sun comes up over the castle of Rocca Calascio, a small mountain village high up in the Italian Apennines, it’s like a silent, magic wonderland. One such sunrise struck Franco Cagnoli with an inside calling that led him to go on a mission that affected both the village and him deeply.
Rocca Calascio has seen no resident since 1957. Depopulation of rural or mountain villages in Italy began in the early 20th century, accelerating (加速) after World War Two when people were attracted to urban jobs.
However, like many places, the area is enjoying a revival (复苏) and now home to some families. “To put it in romantic terms, there is a love story between me and the ancient building,” Cagnoli said as he showed visitors round the castle of Rocca Calascio. The castle, with foundations dating back about 1,000 years, is one of the highest in Europe. It was built as a tower in a line of connected structures to control and protect the land that stretched inland from the Adriatic Sea.
Cagnoli, now 39, first saw Rocca Calascio when he was 16. He was on a road trip to find himself. “I arrived here as the morning sun lit up the castle. I was blinded by the light and since that day something inside me has changed,” he said. “I thought it was the most beautiful place. I felt special energies, deciding to help its rebirth.” He’s now the castle’s caretaker and head of a cooperative whose members guide visitors.
“Besides temporary visitors, the complete revival has much to do with permanent residents. People of the previous generation didn’t appreciate the land they lived on,” Valeria Befani, a resident in the village, said. “Today’s teenagers, like my children, are proud of their land and are happy if they can stay here.”

Every two weeks, Mr. Kloch from The Ledger would come to collect the money. After I paid the amount, the rest was mine. Counting the change was the fun part to see how much money I’d made.

（2023春·四川成都·高三成都七中校考开学考试）Anton was thrilled about his new job as an intern for his favorite director, Selma Honor. Seeing her documentary about race-car drivers had convinced Anton that he wanted to be a filmmaker. When he found out that she was filming a documentary about the local basketball team, he wrote her a letter offering his help. Getting the call from Selma’s assistant had been the thrill of a lifetime.
Being on the set turned out to be quite different from what Anton had expected. He had imagined he would be standing behind Selma, watching her make crucial decisions during filming. Instead, the assistant director, Joe, had given Anton a box of index cards to place in alphabetical order, which is what Anton was doing in the gym when Selma arrived. She looked around quickly and said, “What’s that kid doing in the shot? Get him out of here.” Joe hurried over and told Anton to finish his work in the hallway.
Anton sat on the hallway floor, carefully sorting the index cards while listening to the crew setting up for the big game that night. He heard Selma and Joe arguing, and then Joe came slamming through the gym doors. “She wants symbolism in a high school gym,” he muttered angrily, “as if being a teenager weren’t symbolic enough!” Anton asked what Joe meant, and Joe explained that Selma was looking for a way to give the game a symbolic boost about choosing sides. Joe’s bright red shirt gave Anton an idea.
Four hours later, the crowd was divided into two halves. All of the fans for the home team wore red shirts; all of the fans for the away team wore gray shirts. Selma smiled as she started to film, noting that Anton’s idea really did add an additional competitive element to the game. She winked at Anton. He trailed behind her — once again certain that he had the best job in the world.

（2023秋·内蒙古包头·高三统考一模）As introduction to backpacking go, this might be pushing it. At noon on a brilliant Tuesday in March, my 12-year-old son Kai and I are a mile and a half into a four-day, 27-mile walk through the Grand Canyon (峡谷) — his first backpacking trip — when he asks, “Are we almost to camp?” Um, no. Camp, at Hermit Creek, is seven miles and nearly 2,500 feet below. That will take us several more hours.
We are here largely because of a birthday note Kai wrote to me two years ago in which he declared, “You used to be a wild 10-year-old like me and now you’re a wild 53-year-old. We can do so many things together! I am excited for when I’m old enough for the Grand Canyon.”

Twice I suggest we turn in. “Not yet,” Kai says. “This is too unbelievable.”
Wednesday, we travel three miles to Monument Creek, and hike a mile and 1,000 feet down to the Colorado River. The next morning at 7:30 when we march out, I’m optimistic, and Kai sets a quick pace. Friday, we rise before dawn and are the first ones out of camp; for an hour we have the Bright Angel Trail and its soaring (高耸的) scenery to ourselves.
In that birthday card Kai had also written, “Even when you’re 100, you will always be wild,” Nice, If I’m lucky enough to make it there, it looks like I’ll have company.

（2022秋·宁夏银川·高三银川一中校考一模）24 years ago Jim Ritter was a typical, active high school student. At age sixteen his life changed forever, when Jim was working at his father’s logging business in the small town of Montesano, Washington. One Friday, his dad woke him at 4:30 am to work. Having finished the morning work, Jim crawled into the grapple (吊车) for an after-lunch nap. It was then that Jim’s father started the engines, not realizing that his son lay inside, asleep.
“Oh my God!” Jim’s father cried out. “I broke his neck!”
Immediately, Jim’s dad called for help on the C．B radio. A logging company helicopter heard the call for help and picked Jim up, taking him to the hospital in Olympia, sixty-five miles away. It was truly a miracle! His father’s logging business was in the middle of nowhere, and helicopters hardly ever flew around there. After surgery, Jim was left paralyzed from the neck down. Nine weeks later, he was moved to an orthopedic (矫形的) hospital in Seattle where he became an inspiration to the nurses and other patients with his optimism and good sense of humor.

It was awkward and difficult at first. Jim practiced day after day, and gradually his drawings turned from amateur sketches into beautiful scenes. Prior to the accident, Jim had never drawn.
Today, Jim lets nothing stand in his way. He is able to support himself by holding art shows throughout the country. How easy it is to justify giving up on our dreams with a ready excuse. “It’s too difficult.” “I’m not that smart.” “I don’t have time.” Jim Ritter is living proof that no excuse is good enough.

（2023·新疆乌鲁木齐·统考一模）My grandfather used to be the smartest person in the world. I am sure he was. There was nothing he could not explain or narrate to me. When I lost my sight being only six years old, he was the one who supported my connection with the whole world. He was doing it with his tales.
My grandfather was the one who did not allow me to give up. Grandfather supported my memory and boosted my imagination every day. He was narrating fairy stories about everything around us. He made me describe the things that I used to see previously in detail and then told something about them I could not believe.

I was holding it and trying to restore its look in my memory, and grandfather was telling a story of the knife. He told me that having this knife, he was never wounded in a battle, and he could carve any figure in detail with it. He promised that one day I would get it, and I would be able to carve anything. I touched the blade (刀刃) with my fingers, and I imagined how great I would be in carving. I wanted to make the magic creatures that were mentioned by my grandfather and present them to him.
He made me walk a lot, we were researching the hills and fields, and he taught me how to define the flowers and trees. Being blind, I could find any local plant by smelling and touching. Grandfather promised that one day we would hike together and find real highland edelweiss.
He died a month before I had my operation. When the bandage was taken off my eyes, I saw the faces of parents, sun, flowers and trees, and a knife left by my grandfather. Later, when my sight became stable and it became possible to read, my father gave me a book of tales written and illustrated by my grandfather. There were all the creatures he was talking about.

（2023春·河南·高三校联考一模）Being a high school coach provides wonderful opportunities not only to seek great skill from students in sports, but also to implant in them some valuable life lessons. Donta Green, a committed coach at Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvanian has brought his school team to victory. While part of this is down to physical fitness and practice, an improved general attitude has also played a key role in the team’s success.
One way Green has changed his players’ behaviors is a strict no-bad-words rule. This applies to players and coaches alike. If anyone uses bad language then they can expect to start doing push ups. In another way, the coach is also addressing the way the high school students dress. No students are to be seen wearing trousers hanging too low and players should walk the corridors of the school in suit and tie.
This is having a positive effect on the students and their academic success, with the team grade average being 3. 2. These changes are really affecting the way the players see themselves. As Keyshawn Morsillo, the team’s star quarterback, pointed out: “He’s changed us. Everyone on the football team used to have some bad behaviors. But he has showed us the right way to be a successful man. We look up at him and follow his footsteps. Really, he’s helping turn us from boys to men.”
This is impacting the general altitude for these students not just in the school, but how they’re perceived in the wider community, too.
“A lot of the things we do might seem like small things, but they add up to big things. There are things we do that set us apart from other programs. It’s just a lot of simple disciplines. That’s what is lacking in a lot of our young people.” pointed out Green.
While the team continues to impress, it’s important to take note on how these small steps can inspire others. We can strengthen in our own children the importance of behaving appropriately.
37．Why did Donta Green try to change his plavers’ behavors?
A．To promote their overall quality.
B．To achieve their academic success.
C．To improve their communicative skills.
D．To focus their mind on physical training.
38．What is the students’ attitude to the extra disciplines in the team?
A．Negative. B．Skeptical. C．Indifferent. D．Supportive.
39．What do Green’s words mean in paragraph 5?
A．Young people don’t have right attitude to life.
B．Children’s daily behaviors should be regulated.
C．All the students in his school behave themselves.
D．Disciplines are more important than skills
40．What is the text mainly about?
A．A coach has brought his school team to victory.
B．A player is changing from a boy to a sport star.
C．A coach is teaching players valuable life lessons.
D．A football team has won the heart of community


参考答案：
1．D    2．C    3．A    4．B
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Franco Cagnoli看到太阳从罗卡卡拉西奥的城堡升起时深受震撼，于是决定并着手帮助复兴这个意大利小山村。
1．推理判断题。结合文章第一段内容“When the sun comes up over the castle of Rocca Calascio, a small mountain village high up in the Italian Apennines, it’s like a silent, magic wonderland. One such sunrise struck Franco Cagnoli with a spiritual calling that led him to go on a mission that affected both the village and him deeply.(当太阳从意大利亚平宁山脉高处的小山村罗卡·卡拉西奥城堡上空升起时，这里就像一个寂静而神奇的仙境。一次这样的日出给了弗兰科·卡格诺利一种精神上的召唤，促使他去执行一项对村庄和他自己都产生了深刻影响的使命。)”和倒数第二段中Franco Cagnoli的话““I arrived here as the morning sun lit up the castle. I was blinded by the light and since that day something inside me has changed,” he said. “I thought it was the most beautiful place. I felt special energies, deciding to help its rebirth.”(“我到达这里时，早晨的阳光照亮了城堡。从那天起，我的内心发生了变化。”他说，“我认为这是最美丽的地方。我感受到了特殊的能量，决定帮助它重生。”)” 可知，第一段中的“a mission that affected both the village and him deeply（这个使命深深地影响了村子和他自己）”指帮助复兴罗卡卡拉西奥。因此太阳从罗卡卡拉西奥的城堡升起的壮观一幕激励他去帮助复兴该村庄。故选D。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Depopulation of rural or mountain villages in Italy began with the resettlement of villagers in the early 20th century, accelerating after World War Two when people were attracted to urban jobs.(20世纪初，随着村民的重新安置，意大利农村或山村的人口减少开始了。二战后，人们被吸引到城市工作，这一现象加速。)”可知，20世纪，早期意大利的乡村和山村人口剧减，第二次世界大战后，许多人离开了农村地区前往城市，人口减少加剧。故选C。
3．细节理解题。根据第三段的“It was built as a tower in a line of connected structures to control and protect the land that stretched inland from the Adriatic Sea.(它是作为一排连接的建筑中的一座塔，用来控制和保护从亚得里亚海延伸到内陆的土地。)”可知，这座城堡是一排相连的建筑中的一个塔，其目的是控制和保护从亚得里亚海延伸到内陆的土地。故选A。
4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容““Besides temporary visitors, the complete revival has much to do with permanent residents. People of the previous generation didn’t appreciate the land they lived on,” Valeria Befani, a resident in the village, said. “Today’s teenagers, like my children, are proud of their land and are happy if they can stay here.”(“除了临时游客，完全的复兴与永久居民有很大关系。上一代人并不珍惜他们赖以生存的土地，”村里的居民瓦莱里娅·贝法尼(Valeria Befani)说。“今天的青少年和我的孩子一样，为自己的土地感到骄傲，如果能留在这里，他们也很高兴。”)”可知，Befani认为，罗卡卡拉西奥的彻底复兴与长期居住的居民有很大联系，如今的青少年为罗卡卡拉西奥感到骄傲，如果他们能留在这里，他们会很高兴。由此可知，罗卡卡拉西奥有了真正热爱它的居民，它的未来充满希望。故选B。
5．A    6．C    7．B    8．C

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了儿时当报童的经历，这段经历让他学会了如何理财、服务客户以及承担责任。
5．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I loaded The Ledger in the metal basket of my bicycle I called my tank. Balloon tires mobilized the red-black heavy bike I had found on a roadside left for the garbage man.”（我把The Ledger装进我的自行车的金属篮子里，我称之为坦克。低压轮胎驱动我在路边捡到的红黑相间的沉重的自行车）可知，作者当报童送报时常常骑一辆破旧的二手自行车。故选A项。
