阅读理解：个人情况类
一、During my early childhood years, I would spend time with my dad in Alabama, fishing and hiking through the woods.
This is where I found my first box turtle crossing a busy road. I rescued the animal out of harm’s way. Without money for after-school programs and sports, I would spend my spare time catching crawfish, frogs, and making home-made fishing poles.
I would catch small fish, put them in barrels, and use them to catch larger fish, primarily sunfish, crappie, and catfish. I moved back to Chicago in the 3rd grade and became saddened that I was unable to swim at local beaches and eat fish that were caught from Lake Michigan.
When I started having behavioral issues in elementary school, my teachers would send me to my guidance teacher Dr. Deborah Hawes to do math and science projects.
I would intentionally disrupt (扰乱) the class, knowing that I would get sent down to her office for guidance. Dr. Hawes was passionate about science and math. Her goal was to help every student realize the importance of these subjects, and how they relate to everyday living. As a result, she was able to convince me to participate in science fair project competitions.
Surprisingly, I did incredibly well at those competitions and received numerous awards throughout the city at larger competitions. It was after 8th grade that Dr. Hawes convinced me to transfer to another high school which is famous for its agricultural sciences. This by far, was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.
It was while attending this high school that I became interested in the study of environmental and animal sciences. My time here was what stimulated my interest in animal science and conservation and motivated me to continue my education in a local top university, where I was awarded a partial scholarship.
I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science in 2004. In 2008, I earned a Master of Science degree while conducting research on turtle nests. As a graduate student from 2006 to 2008, I guided high school and college students by helping them design research projects focusing on reptiles (爬行动物).
In 2009, I became the Savanna Districts first-ever Wildlife Biologist. I am stationed at one of the most visited refuges (保护区) in the nation, which attracts millions of hunters, fishermen, and other outdoor enthusiasts from across the nation.

二、Wi-Fi: a word which has its own little brother in the form of a complicated (复杂的) password (密码) which, no matter how hard you try, you can never guess. A word which is so often stuck to the inside of windows in cafes and bars as an extra way of drawing customers inside. Last summer, I spent four months working in France, where the company I was working for put me up in a house which didn’t have Wi-Fi, meaning I had no access to the Internet.
I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi-Fi, was easier than I expected.
Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the occasional text message here and there. I couldn’t enjoy my usual web browsing (浏览) on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.
I didn’t, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi-Fi network. It was only a five-minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my leisure. It made me think, though, how unnecessary it can be, how unnecessarily we rely on it—how we perhaps over rely on it. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of being glued to a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn’t necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Above all else, I read some classics. Dare I say it: I learned how to live without Wi-Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined.
5．What do cafes and bars use Wi-Fi to do according to the first paragraph?
A．To advertise their drinks. B．To save time.
C．To keep in contact with customers. D．To attract customers.

C．By texting. D．By sending e-mails.
7．Which of the following can describe the author’s life in France?
A．He didn’t use Wi-Fi. B．He visited his friends frequently.
C．He made full use of time. D．He was homesick.
8．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

C．Wi-Fi—A Popular Word D．My Unusual Experience

“I Went Skydiving at 84!”
As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.
In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating that George Bush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.
On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened-I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute (降落伞), and then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.
Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.
9．What happened to the author in 2001?
A．She flew an airplane. B．She entered a competition.
C．She went on a hot air balloon ride. D．She moved into a retirement community.
10．The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to ______.
A．build up her own reputation B．show her admiration for him
C．compare their health condition D．make her argument persuasive
11．How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?
A．Excited. B．Scared. C．Intense. D．Regretful.
12．What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?
A．The beautiful clouds. B．The wonderful view.
C．The company of Jay. D．The one-minute free fall.

四、I learned chess when I was young. By the age of eight I was an ordinary child,but through chess I knew the excitement of playing in the same primary school team as my older brother three years ahead,and soon afterwards I experienced the pride of representing my city.My love for chess offered periodic escape from my ordinary life.
By the time I was 10 my family had fallen apart.And I came to live with my grandfather. The family’s chess set was laid in the bay window.That space was soon surrounded by games collections,endgame strategy books and books on opening theory.I played out book contents on the board,typically with the left hand holding the book open,the right hand moving the pieces, and the eyes moving between book and board, as if watching a very slow tennis match of my own staging. That square metre of space changed my life.That was the place where I“got good”.
Chess achievement gave me intellectual confidence that I might otherwise not have had Many teachers had long told me,“If you are good at chess you should be able to do this.” rejected this idea for years, mostly because it meant I had to tryharder yet at 15 I decided they might be right after all. I began to love reading and learning and thinking and writing and speaking. I’d go on to Oxford,Harvard and a PhD, but there was nothing unavoidable about this development.I was not a particularly promising pupil and could have been at a loss,doing badly at school or even worse.
Aldous Huxley famously wrote that “experience is not what happens to you, it is what you do with what happens to you”.Our life experience is not one event after another but a series of opportunities for us to grow. With chess and then exam success,I decided to be less defined by my circumstances(境遇)and more capable of shaping them.

五、The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day (室外运动会) in elementary school.
Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special shame of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different.
In the Softball Throw (女子棒球) event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. I put it down to my first coach, my father. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Come fall, our backyard football games began with passing practice.
Once I got to sixth grade, the entire students were assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, increasing my competitive fever. However, in girls’ sports games at my school. I was no star. During the weekends at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did.
Magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercise every day, a sweaty body building practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym. So, though it shocked some of our friends, the early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, which was considered essential even on vacation.
I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m considered, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.

A．Reading comes second to Sports. B．Life’s foundation all lies in sports.

六、As a musher (赶狗拉雪橇的人), you’re responsible for predicting every need your sled dogs have. Before they’re hungry, you’re already thawing (解冻) their next meal. Before they’re tired, you’re planning their next rest. You’re an athlete, but also a coach, nutritionist, and sports psychologist. And you’re their teammate, their family.
When I was growing up, my favorite books were by Gary Paulsen, who often wrote about kids overcoming difficulties in the wilderness, and my mom’s picture books of Alaska. I was especially drawn in by dogsledding; I’d put on Rollerblades (直排轮滑鞋) and tie my dog’s lead around my waist so she could pull me. And at 18, I did what instinctively felt right: I moved to Norway for a year to learn how to be a musher. I just sort of knew somehow that I should do this full-time. That year, living in a training camp 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, we studied how to build snow caves, care for the dogs, and somehow keep warm when temperatures went down to 30 degrees below zero. It was surreal and terrifying, but I loved it. Instantly I realized this was where I’d spent my life trying to get to.
This year I finished the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, the thousand-mile race across Alaska. It was the toughest thing I’ve ever done: 13 days of extremely hard work, where every foot we traveled was hard-won. While frozen places can be scary, the more time you spend in them, the more you realize how vulnerable (脆弱的) they are. With climate change, dogsledding could look very different in 50 years, or 20. It’s possible that current mushers could be among the last generations to travel like this. I hope we can be part of a tradition that stretches into the future, not just the past.
21．What is a musher supposed to do?
A．Keep sled dogs’ meals warm. B．Plan sled dogs’ mealtimes in advance.
C．Find sled dogs great dog families. D．Look for cheap rest areas for sled dogs.
22．Why did the author mention Gary Paulsen?
A．To discuss why people loved his works.
B．To prove kids are curious and determined.
C．To stress it’s challenging to become a musher.
D．To explain what inspired him to be a musher.
23．How did the author’s training camp go?
A．It had many terrifying campers. B．It lasted longer than he expected.
C．It led him to unexpected discoveries. D．It was generally an enjoyable experience.
24．What did the author find out while doing the Iditarod?
A．The popularity of mushers is fading.
B．There will be more mushers to come.
C．The frozen places are facing an uncertain future.
D．The frozen places will remain unchanged for long.
At the beginning of my senior year in high school, I began applying to the University of Connecticut. But what I didn’t realize was how expensive my dream was. I came from a middle-class family, and it seemed as though we’d always struggled to make ends meet.
I wasn’t the smartest person in my class, not even close; but my heart was in the right place, and I was determined. I applied for every scholarship I could. And then my guidance counselor told me about the financial aid system. I applied, but I didn’t think I would qualify for that either.
After the holidays, my friends started receiving their acceptance letters from colleges, and I eagerly expected mine. Finally, a letter arrived from the University of Connecticut. Feelings of fear and joy overwhelmed me when I opened the envelope with trembling hands. I had done it! I cried for a while, feeling both extremely excited and afraid. I had been working a full-time job, but that wasn’t enough to pay for tuition, and it was impossible for my parents to pay for my education.
Months went by before a letter from the financial aid office arrived. I opened it eagerly, but it was only a letter requesting more information to process my application. This happened over and over, and my hopes kept getting shot down. Finally, an envelope arrived, the one that would determine whether I could attend college. Not only was financial aid (助学金) going to help me out with my expenses, but also I won two of the scholarships I had applied for! I had actually made my dream come true.
I am now a junior at the University of Connecticut, pursuing a degree in English.
25．What was the author’s main trouble in realizing her dream?
A．She lacked determination.
B．Her family was short of money.
C．She didn’t know which university to apply to.

26．How did the author get money for her tuition fees?
A．By taking up part-time jobs.
B．By receiving her parents’ support.
C．By turning to her guidance counselor for help.
D．By applying for scholarships and financial aid.
27．Why did the financial aid office send the author the first letter?
A．To test her determination.
B．To inform her of their refusal.
C．To ask for supplemental information.
D．To check the process of her application.
28．What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” mean in paragragh 3?
A．Affected strongly.
B．Defeated completely.
C．Covered completely.
D．Overcame easily.
29．What does the author want to convey by sharing her story?

21．细节理解题。由文章第一段“As a musher (赶狗拉雪橇的人), you’re responsible for predicting every need your sled dogs have. Before they’re hungry, you’re already thawing (解冻) their next meal.(作为一个赶狗拉雪橇的人, 你有责任预测雪橇狗的每一个需求。在它们饿之前，你已经在解冻它们的下一餐了。)”可知，赶狗拉雪橇的人应在狗饥饿前，提前准备好它的食物，比如先解冻。故选B项。
22．推理判断题。由文章第二段“When I was growing up, my favorite books were by Gary Paulsen, who often wrote about kids overcoming difficulties in the wilderness, and my mom’s picture books of Alaska. I was especially drawn in by dogsledding; I’d put on Rollerblades and tie my dog’s lead around my waist so she could pull me. (在我成长的过程中，我最喜欢的书是Gary Paulsen的，他经常写关于孩子们在野外克服困难的故事，还有我妈妈的阿拉斯加图画书。我特别喜欢狗拉雪橇；我会穿上溜冰鞋，把狗的皮带系在腰上，这样它就可以拉我了。)”可知，作者提到 Gary Paulsen，是因为他经常写关于孩子们在野外克服困难的故事，这也鼓舞作者成为一个赶狗拉雪橇的人。故选D项。
23．细节理解题。由文章第二段“That year, living in a training camp 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, we studied how to build snow caves, care for the dogs, and somehow keep warm when temperatures went down to 30 degrees below zero. It was surreal and terrifying, but I loved it. (那一年，我们住在北极圈以北200英里的一个训练营里，学习如何建造雪洞，照顾狗，以及在气温降到零下30度时如何保暖。这是超现实的和可怕的，但我喜欢它。)”可知，作者非常喜欢这次经历。故选D项。
24．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“While frozen places can be scary, the more time you spend in them, the more you realize how vulnerable (脆弱的) they are. With climate change, dogsledding could look very different in 50 years, or 20. It’s possible that current mushers could be among the last generations to travel like this. I hope we can be part of a tradition that stretches into the future, not just the past.(虽然冰冻的地方很可怕，但你在那里呆的时间越长，你就越意识到它们是多么脆弱。随着气候变化，狗拉雪橇可能在50年或20年后变得非常不同。现在赶狗拉雪橇的人可能是最后几代人中这样旅行的人。我希望我们能成为一个延续到未来的传统的一部分，而不仅仅是过去。)”可知，随着气候变化，冰冻的地方变得很脆弱了，所以它们也将面临一个未知的未来。故选C项。

这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述作者的家庭很贫困，原本无法支付学费，但作者没有轻易言败，积极争取奖学金，努力赚取学费，最终成功入学，作者通过自己的经历想要告诉读者一个道理：永不言败。
25．细节理解题。根据第一段中“But what I didn’t realize was how expensive my dream was.(但我没有意识到我的梦想有多昂贵)”及第三段中“I had been working a full-time job, but that wasn’t enough to pay for tuition, and it was impossible for my parents to pay for my education.(我一直有一份全职工作，但那不足以支付学费，我的父母也不可能支付我的教育费用)”可知，作者在实现梦想的过程中遇到的主要困难是家里缺钱，故选B项。
26．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Not only was financial aid(助学金) going to help me out with my expenses, but also I won two of the scholarships I had applied for! I had actually made my dream come true.(助学金不仅帮我解决了开支问题，而且我还获得了我申请的两项奖学金！我真的实现了我的梦想)”可知，通过申请奖学金和助学金作者得到了学费，故选D项。
27．细节理解题。根据第四段中“I opened it eagerly, but it was only a letter requesting more information to process my application.(我急切地打开它，但这只是一封要求提供更多信息来处理我的申请的信)”可知，助学金办公室给作者寄了第一封信要求作者补充信息，故选C项。
28．词义猜测题。根据划线词后“when I opened the envelope with trembling hands.(当我用颤抖的手打开信封时)”及“I had done it! I cried for a while, feeling both extremely excited and afraid.(我做到了！我哭了一会儿，感到既兴奋又害怕)”可知，此处指颤抖着手打开信封时，感到非常恐惧和喜悦，overwhelmed意为“（感情上）使受不了，压垮”，A项“受到强烈影响”正确。故选A项。
