(2022届西藏拉萨中学高三上学期第二次月考)It was a wonderful day on the west coast. On a beach near San Francisco, two college students, Shirley and Albert, decided to go for a swim. So they swam out about fifty yards to calm water and then began floating lazily. Little did they know that they were being watched—A great white shark was drawing near.

All of a sudden, Shirley heard a scream. Albert was being pulled down by something. His head reappeared with blood. Albert cried out in agony,“Get away, Shirley! Get away! It’s a shark!” Albert didn’t want her help.

Shirley was too frightened and shocked to move. Albert’s words rang in her ears. After what seemed like a long time, she turned toward shore and began swimming for her life. But then she stopped. She could not leave her friend. She had to help him if she could.

The water was full of red blood. She reached for Albert’s hand and then pulled back in terror. She wrapped her arm around Albert’s chest. He was alive. Shirley began kicking her feet and stroking(划水) with her free arm. The two friends began the slow journey toward shore. Would the shark return? Would it bring its friends? Shirley was getting tired. Albert’s body seemed to get heavier every second. But she wouldn’t let go. She wouldn’t leave her friend.

Finally, Shirley could touch bottom. At this point, she was exhausted. She could go no farther. She tried to scream for help but her voice was so weak. Nobody would be able to hear that. Miraculously(奇迹般地), Joe was fishing some distance down the beach. His eyes for some reason turned. He could hardly believe his eyes. Joe began running toward Shirley and Albert. He then flung(挥动) his cast like a cowboy with his rope. The line perfectly landed beside Shirley and Albert. Shirley wrapped it around her waist and Joe dragged them into safety. By this time, many people saw the trouble and ran to help. Soon Albert was taken to the hospital but died two hours later.

Many of us will never be in a situation to sacrifice our lives for someone else like Shirley and Albert. But that does not mean we do not sacrifice ourself. If our motive and desire is to put other people before ourself, then we do sacrifice ourself. Sacrifice is a necessary part of loving people.

4.What does the underlined word “agony” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Excitement.

B.Pain.

C.Disappointment.

D.Shock.

5.While Albert was being pulled down by the shark, he was most probably thinking that　　　　. 

A.he would surely be saved by Shirley

B.the white shark would leave soon

C.it was unlucky for them to swim out that day

D.he should warn his friend

6.When Shirley could touch bottom 　　　　. 

A.her cry for help was luckily heard by a person

B.a fishing person noticed Albert and her accidentally

C.a rescue team were waiting for them on the beach

D.she found Joe fishing and shouted to him for help

7.What does the author stress in the story?

B.The ability to deal with an emergency.

C.Shirley and Albert’s concern for each other.

D.Shirley and Albert’s fight against the shark.

　　【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Shirley和Albert在游泳的时候,Albert受到鲨鱼攻击,Shirley不顾自己的安危,救助Albert的故事。作者通过这个故事想告诉我们:我们要为了爱而彼此牺牲付出。

4.B　词义猜测题。根据前面一句“His head reappeared with blood.”可推知,他受伤了,所以他应该是很痛地喊出来,故选B项。

5.D　推理判断题。由第二段中的“Albert didn’t want her help”可知,他不想让Shirley来救他。由此可以推知,当Albert被鲨鱼咬住的时候,他最有可能地想法是要警告Shirley,不让她靠近。故选D项。

6.B　细节理解题。由第五段中内容可知,Shirley的声音很虚弱,没有人听见。但是,正在海边钓鱼的Joe无意中转动了一下眼睛,看见了他们。故选B项。

7.C　推理判断题。由文章中Shirley和Albert的行为可知,当Albert被鲨鱼咬住的时候,他不想让Shirley来救他。而Shirley不顾自己的安危去救Albert。再结合最后一段中的“Many of us will never be in a situation to sacrifice our lives for someone else like Shirley and Albert.”可知,文章着重介绍的是Shirley和Albert对彼此的牺牲,即对彼此的关心。故选C项。

(2022·全国高考甲卷)As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins(企鹅) longing to say hello.These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.

Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel.Throughout her career(职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further.When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge. 

After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland.“I just decided I wanted to go,” she says.“I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it.And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”

In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica.“From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says.“I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale;it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”

The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.

8.Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?

A.Try challenging things.

B.Take a degree.

C.Bring back lost memories.

D.Stick to a promise.

9.What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?

A.Lovely penguins.

B.Beautiful scenery.

C.A discount fare.

D.A friend’s invitation.

10.What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?

D.It needs to be fully introduced.

11.What is the text mainly about?

D.Meeting animals in Antarctica.

　　【语篇解读】71岁的GinniBazlinton从小就对旅行有着深深的热爱,渴望探险,不再跳舞和孩子们成家立业之后,她开始周游世界,并在2008年开始了前往南极洲的旅程。

8.A　词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词前文“Throughout her career(职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further.”和“When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest”可知,Ginni在退休和儿子们成家立业之后,她决定尝试有挑战性的事情。由此推知,画线词组“take the plunge”与“try challenging things(尝试有挑战性的事情)”意思接近。故选A项。

9.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego…”可知,是折扣的票价让Ginni决定去南极洲旅行的。故选C项。

10.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段“The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.”可知,旅行结束后,Ginni认为南极洲应该得到很好的保护。故选C项。

11.B　主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了Ginni Bazlinton去南极旅行的经历,再根据第一段“These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.”和倒数第二段Ginni Bazlinton对南极之旅的评价可知,文章主要介绍了Ginni Bazlinton去南极洲之旅让她非常难忘。由此可知,B项能够概括文章主旨。故选B项。
