Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry.

These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.1.Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents? _________.A. Parents bring up children.B. Parents give love and care to children.C. Parents educate children to be good persons.D.

People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.1-3 DAC(V)★★The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year,but it’s always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection(复活)from the dead. Most people color Ester eggs. Some people hide them. Others just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs,they are an important Easter tradition throughout the Western world. People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny (兔子).But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria (保加利亚), red Easter eggs are lucky in churches. Bulgarian families also hit these Easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. The winner looks forward to good fortune that year. Still dozens of other Easter traditions exist.

At night, the 26-year-old young man, taking off his helmet (头盔) and blue jacket, dives into small theaters where he is going to use stand-up comic sets inspired by his personal stories as a deliveryman to make people laugh.In 2019, he found that running errands can bring him a good income. Then he moved from his hometown to Xi’an, and became a deliveryman. He turned all the hardships he has been going through these years into funny jokes, which brings a refreshing life. For him, the skill of humor is not something he was born with, but what he has been diligently (勤奋地) training with his sincerity and eagerness to get a better life.On a freezing winter night, he stopped for a while in a bar after finishing the errands and heard rounds of cheers and laughs coming from the bar, and he was told that it was an open-mic event for stand-up comedy (脱口秀) . He was crazy with the joyous atmosphere into which he wanted to get himself integrated. The club owner later sent him a guidebook for stand-up comedy and gave him a chance to go on stage. His performance attracted wider attention and he received an invitation from the Shanghai-based comedy company Xiaoguo Culture to join a comic training camp last year. It was his first time to take a plane and get out from Shanxi province. He soon found that Shanghai offers more opportunities for stand-up comedy performers.In October, he moved to the city. There, he still chose to be a deliveryman and put on comic performances for four or five times a week.

The students have only been in the US for a few weeks or months. Many students were from different countries last year. Woods Chan became concerned when she started hearing the Spanish-speaking students laugh when their classmates spoke Mam or Arabic.Woods Chan came up with an idea. She asked her students to take turns teaching a little bit of their home language each day. Students taught their partners how to count from 1 to 10, how to introduce themselves and how to say basic phrases or words like “Cool”. Then, they recorded themselves saying those phrases in short videos and wrote vocabulary words on the whiteboard.Woods Chan saw the difference in her students. She said they grew more confident after seeing their own language on the whiteboard and hearing it in the videos. They started making friends with each other across cultural lines. Other students who were not in that class would come in and see something written in Mam on the whiteboard and say, “Hey, that’s Mam! I speak Mam!”The project also helped students understand their partners better. Orlando, a 17-year-old student from El Salvador, said he never knew Arabic or Mam, even existed before he came to the US and heard his classmates talk. Now, he thinks it would be good for all students in his school to learn a little of their partners’ home languages. “When I first got here,” he said in Spanish, “I thought, ‘No one talks like me. I’m the only one, and I felt lonely.’ Now, I don’t feel so bad anymore.”Knowledge of other languages can help Woods Chan’s students beyond the classroom, too. Languages like Mam are becoming more and more common in the US. Some Oakland graduates have gone on to become Mam-English interpreters (口译员) to help fill a lack of interpreters in all kinds of settings.9.What made Woods Chan think of the idea?A.Some of her students making fun of other languages.B.Her students hardly using their home languages.C.Her students being interested in learning a new language.D.Her students having difficulty communicating with each other.10.What was the students’ feeling of seeing their home languages written on the whiteboard?A.Angry but accepting.B.Excited and proud.C.Worried but supportive.D.Relaxed and creative.11.What effect did Woods Chan’s project have on Orlando?A.It made him feel less lonely at school.B.It encouraged him to get a job as an interpreter.C.It helped him understand his home language better.D.It enabled him to work better in foreign language classes.12.What can be the best title for the text?A.School Is Not the Only Place to Learn B.All Her Students Are Language TeachersC.She Replies to Her Students’ Needs Quickly D.Language Is Not a Block to Communication(2023秋·北京·高一统考期中)When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade, she came to me with a problem. “Marcy hates me!” she cried. “Because Kathy is my friend, too. She wants me to be her friend and nobody else’s. You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too!”Oh! I looked at her for a few moments, wondering how I got into this mess (困境), when suddenly an idea came to me.Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow, so does the basket. You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn’t do for yourself. I did everything you couldn’t do on your own.”She nodded.“Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket. When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket.”She said softly, “I can tie my own shoes.”“Right. As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket with thingsonly you can do.”She looked up at me and said, “I understand.

It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any givenday. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sisterˈs friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me all the highlights. He did not let me down.The carnival is most definitely all about the samba. Itˈs a style of music and dance which has its roots in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being colonized (殖民), so this mixed culture of African, Latin and European styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals (和声). Itˈs the kind of music that you canˈt help dancing to, and I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, my hips and shoulders were swinging (摇摆) almost involuntarily.Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade, the symbol of Brazilian culture, inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship title, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street. About the samba parade, twelve main teams compete for the championship, and if they win, their performance will be talked about for years to come. So, you must be wondering how it was.

The part which struck me most was his advice about travelling. He said, “The one thing you will never waste your money on is travelling. Travel broadens the mind. It is the antidote to ignorance (无知).” In my opinion this statement should be everyone’s life motto (座右铭).This year I’ve had the opportunity to do a lot of travelling around Europe and it has shown me first hand how much you can learn and develop by visiting different places. It is so wonderful to be able to go to a different country, listen to the different languages, try local food and experience the different culture.I’ve personally noticed how different I am since I started exploring more. It involves being able to find good train or plane tickets, getting yourself to the airport, not to mention trying to find your way around a completely new city. While it can be scary at first, after a few trips you realize that Google Maps is your best friend and it really isn’t that difficult to figure out public transport. Travelling also helps you develop your organization skills! It is basic to figure out how to get to different tourist attractions and plan your time wisely. However, it is also nice to learn to relax. On top of that, hotels are a great way to meet new people from all around the world. It is fantastic when young people from different parts of the world come together; I’ve met so many strange and wonderful people this way.As far as I can see, travel as much as possible, because the experiences you will gain from travelling can’t be taught at school and they will change your life.25.What do the underlined words “antidote to” mean in the first paragraph?A.Replacement of.B.Development of.C.Treatment for.D.Agreement to.26.How will the author describe his trip to Europe?A.Busy.B.Hard.C.Rich.D.Costly.27.What has happened to the author since he began traveling?A.He has become more confident and independent.B.He has developed a skill to select tourist attractions.C.He has found it hard to figure out public transport.D.He has made many friends from all over the world.28.Which section is the text most likely to appear in a newspaper?A.News.B.Education.C.Opinions.D.Health.(2023春·江苏泰州·高一泰州中学校考阶段练习)Johan Clarey tends not to be in much of a rush when it comes to anything other than speeding down a hill on skis. Add Olympic success to the list of things he’s waited for.The Frenchman, who turned 41 in January, became the oldest man to win an Olympic medal in Alpine skiing in history when he claimed a silver behind Beat Feuz of Switzerland in the downhill at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games, breaking Bode Miller’s record by five years.“Everything came late in my life. Since I was a young boy, that’s what my mother said,” Clarey said. “I take extra time to do everything — walking, speaking and everything. Apparently, my career started quite the same.”This was Clarey’s fourth Olympics and realistically his last chance of being on the podium (领奖台) at the Olympics. “I took a lot of risks. I knew I had only one chance left in my career to get a medal in the Olympics,” he said. “And when I was going down, I knew I made a good run, but you never know in downhill skiing. Sometimes you’re fast, but sometimes you’re not. You never know why. But today was fast.” This was only Clarey’s second medal at a major championship; he also took home a silver in the super-G at the 2019 world championships.And this big moment almost didn’t happen: Clarey had considered retirement. He said he’s been having doubts about whether to continue competing for six years. The Frenchman said, “At 35, I said to myself, You have to do one year by one year.” That, he says now, was “a good choice”, because he has the medal to prove it. Clarey is still not quite ready to quit. He will turn his attention back to the World Cup circuit.29.What do we know about Clarey as a boy?A.He was gifted in snow sports.B.He preferred skiing to other sports.C.He got an early start on his future career.D.He seemed to mature later than his peers.30.What was Clarey’s achievement at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games?A.He won the championship in Alpine skiing.B.He competed in Alpine skiing for the first time.C.He won his first Olympic medal in Alpine skiing.D.He was the first Frenchmen to medal in Alpine skiing.31.What does Clarey now think of his decision at age 35?A.It was rewarding.B.It was too costly.C.It was a joke.D.It was a coincidence.32.What can we learn from Clarey’s story?A.Actions speak louder than words.B.Ups and downs make one strong.C.The early bird catches the worm.D.Determination is the key to success.(2023秋·贵州黔西·高一统考期末)A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher stressed the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished.Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!”. I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”“Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ actually means ‘Really!’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”Only then did I realize I had made a fool of mysell. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: What the English teachers said is always right to us students.33.A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because________.A.English idioms were not importantB.my teacher didn’t emphasize the importance of themC.I had no interest in themD.I didn’t realize the importance of English idioms34.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A.The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.B.The Englishman thought the Great Wall is worth visiting.C.The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.D.The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.35.At first, on hearing “You don’t say!” I thought the foreigner meant ________.A.he was only interested in the Great WallB.he was not interested in the topicC.I had talked too muchD.I had to stop talking36.After the Englishman explained the idiom, ________.A.I felt very foolishB.I thought the Englishman had made me a foolC.the Englishman became a real foolD.I became more carefully in everything(2023·全国·高一专题练习)In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr Jones always seems to be ahead.37.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they .A.want to be as rich as their neighborsB.want others to know or to think that they are richC.don’t want others to know they are richD.want to be happy38.It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to .A.live outside New York City B.live in New York CityC.live in apartments D.have many neighbors39.Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is .A.an important name B.a popular name in the United StatesC.his neighbor’s name D.not a good name40.According to the writer, it is to keep up with the Joneses.A.correct B.interesting C.impossible D.good参考答案:1.D 2.C 3.B 4.A【导语】这是一篇记叙文。

Together they moved to New York, but the two soon separated.

During the day, she knocked at the doors of record companies with her demo tape(样带).For three years, she was met with nothing but rejections(拒绝) from record companies. These record companies were fond of her voice but they said that she was too feminine(女性的)for the style of music she performed. Then, on Halloween night 1977, Benatar gave a performance dressed as a modern vampire(吸血鬼). The audience went wild. This experience led Benatar to change her looks. In her later performances, she usually wore black tights and a short black top.The new style made her performances more popular, and gave her a chance to work for Chrysalis Records.

As a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pausch was asked to deliver a “last lecture”. This well-known campus tradition allowed professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had one last lecture to give.The only difference in Pausch’s case is that Pausch really was dying, but it only motivated him more.

He described the importance of having dreams and how anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those dreams, even if they don’t always succeed.

It became a crazy YouTube hit, and in October 2007, he presented an abridged (删节的) version on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”. He turned the lecture into a book by the same name, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were deeply moved by the book’s representation of Pausch’s lifelong philosophy and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation—his three young children.Pausch passed away on July 25, 2008, but his voice lives on in the recorded lecture and his book.

One night I took a fare (出租车乘客) at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, standing on the sideway was a small woman in her 80’s with a big suitcase.After I helped her into the taxi, she gave me an address, and asked, “Could you drive through downtown?” “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly. “I don’t mind,” she said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I looked in-the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were wet. I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价表). “What route would you like me to take?” I asked.For the next two hours, we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when theywere newly married. She had me stop in front of a shabby house where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she’d ask me to slow in front of a particular building and sat staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”We drove in silence to the destination. It was a grey low building.“How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching into her purse. “Nothing,” I said. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly, and whispered a “Thank you”. I squeezed her hand and walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.I didn’t pick up any more passengers but drove aimlessly lost in thought. What if that woman had come across an impatient driver?

She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address?” “No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.”“Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.“May I help you?” a man asked. “No,” I said. “We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hallseemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures (雕刻) in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted (震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!”“There’s some really good stuff (艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence (住宅), long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”“Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.”“That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in.

He knew how to read but he had never seen a book in his life. So he asked the new priest (牧师) in his village to give him one. But there was no electricity. So Leonardo borrowed candles from the church and sat up all night reading it. The next morning, he was at the door of the priest asking for another book to read.John Medcalf, the priest, was moved. He also realised that people would love to read if given a chance. But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books. And yet, no one can be taught to read and write without books. To make people in a poor, faraway area grow to love books, they have to be with them. So he thought the only way was to bring books to people.But how could this be done? Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the rocky, hilly land of Peru. So what other methods could be used?Medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot doctors of China. And that was how the barefoot librarians first appeared in the villages of northern Peru, almost thirty years ago.The librarians began by going from village to village, lending books to villagers. They helped start The Rural Library Network of Peru.At first, they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to. But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work. So, village leaders took on the job themselves.Today, there are 600 village libraries across Peru. The barefoot librarians who walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline.29.The first paragraph tells us that Leonardo ______.A.enjoyed reading booksB.bought candles from the churchC.had a lot of booksD.lived in the church30.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ______.A.to grow to love booksB.to read and writeC.to bring books to peopleD.to build a new library31.The passage doesn’t mention ______.A.where Medcalf met Chinese doctorsB.who worked as village librarians at firstC.when the barefoot librarians appearedD.how many village libraries Peru has today32.It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that ______.A.the first church in Peru was set up by John MedcalfB.car libraries used to be popular in Leonardo’s villageC.teachers were interested in bringing books to villagersD.the barefoot librarians are important to village libraries(2022春·重庆·高一重庆八中校考期中)Teaching is a constant process of upgrade, where every moment you learn new things, not only as a teacher, but also as a human being.At the start of my career, I believed I should come across to my students as a “no-nonsense” type of person. My entire focus was towards maintaining classroom discipline. It was tough. Most of my Indian students were from a rural background. They would intentionally use vocabulary that sounded Greek to me. They did all in their power to make me feel like a fish out of water.My last lecture ended at 2:30 in the afternoon. Some of the students approached me begging to let them leave 15 minutes early as they had a bus to catch. My permission resulted in a stir (骚动) as half of the class stood up to leave. They all had buses to catch! Unable to distinguish between the genuine ones and those faking it, I put a ban on anybody leaving before time.One evening, I spotted three boys from my last class at the bus stop. I called out, “You constantly blame me for not allowing you to leave early because you have a bus to catch and here you are still hanging around at 5 pm!” One of the boys replied respectfully and humbly, “Madam, the bus leaves at 2:30. If we leave the class at 2:15, we are able to make it. In case we miss it, the next bus to our village comes after three hours. Now we are waiting for it. At this hour, the bus will be overloaded and we will not even get a seat.”I was full of regret. The next day, I asked all the students who had a bus to catch to write an application, get it signed and leave whenever they wanted, without seeking my permission. I learnt the first lesson of my life as a teacher—learn to understand your students, for they would learn better from you when they respect you than when they fear you.33.What gave the author the biggest headache when she started teaching?A.Her students’ serious violent behavior.B.Her struggle to keep her classes in order.C.Her inability to understand Greek words.D.Her students’ various educational backgrounds.34.How did the author deal with the students’ request to leave before time at first?A.She took it seriously.B.She refused it completely.C.She permitted it immediately.D.She handled it gracefully.35.How did the author feel the moment she spotted the three boys at the bus stop?A.Embarrassed.B.Angry.C.Regretful.D.Concerned.36.What lesson can teachers learn from the story?A.Show students that you respect them.B.Care about students’ emotional experiences.C.Cooperate with students to improve learning.D.Evaluate yourself first and the students second.(2022春·湖南株洲·高一株洲二中校考期中)Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew exhausted. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own,somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined’ it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each other’s’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.37.Why did the writer and the woman both came here?A.To have fun together.B.To enjoy the beautiful scenery.C.To take pictures of the landscape.D.To do research on the environment. 38.What made the writer feel annoyed?A.The woman was too noisy.B.Her camera stopped working. C.She was forbidden to take photos there.D.The woman blocked her view.39.In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A.The rich color of the landscape.B.The perfect positioning of the camera. C.The woman’s existence in the photo.D.The soft sunlight that summer day. 40.The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections on________A.the art of photography.B.the friendship between two strangers. C.the writer’s attitude to the landscape.D.a particular life experience of the writer.参考答案:1.A2.B3.A4.C【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章主要介绍了摇滚歌星Pat Benatar。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇My two daughters and I got into the car to spend our weekend in Florida. Autumn, the elder one, offered to drive. I sat next to her, and Amber sat in back. After setting off, the three of us sang to the radio at the top of our voice.I t was a great trip until the rain poured and the rain was too heavy. “I have to pull over, ” Autumn said. She tried to enter the far right lane (车道) to find a place to stop, but trucks ran fast, making water onto our car. The car was out of control, then worse — it started to move left and right. Autumn fought to control it but it was too late. We ran into a truck. The girls jumped out of the car. My chest felt much pain.“Get out, Mom. Come on!” Amber cried. “I can't,” I said. Autumn took out her cellphone, “There's been an accident. Send an ambulance (救护车)!” Amber and Autumn pulled me out of the car and helped me lie on my back in the grassy area by the roadside. I had to calm myself and looked up. A man held a large umbrella over me and other kind faces appeared above me. A woman helped to treat a cut over Amber's eye. Another woman came close to me and said, “No one in the truck was injured. Help was on the way.” The woman mentioned she was a nurse; the other woman who took care of Amber's cut was an eye specialist. We couldn't have asked for better care.In the hospital the pain in my chest began to disappear. Later, the tests at the hospital made sure we had no serious injuries. We'd left all our troubles behind thanks to these kind people, who seemed to be angels (天使) in my eyes.1.How did the author and her two daughters feel after setting out?A.They were worried about the weather.B.They enjoyed themselves greatly.C.They thought it was a long journey.D.They felt lucky to take the journey.2.What was Autumn going to do when the rain poured?A.To stop by the roadside.B.To follow the truck closely.C.To get into the fast traffic lane.D.To move the car left and right.3.What can be the best title for the text?A.Unexpected heavy rainB.Leave our troubles behindC.Kind angels saved the dayD.My two kind daughters【答案】1.B2.A3.C【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。
阅读理解Chinese athletes were highlighted by a series of inspirational wins in the International Ski Federation’s World Cup circuit recently. China’s Gu Ailing, a Chinese freestyle talent, made history by becoming the first ever back-to-back freeski World Cup winner in two different events at the same venue after claiming the slopestyle title in Calgary, Canada, on Feb.15, 2020. The day before, Gu had stormed to her first Cup gold in the halfpipe competition.Gu again thrilled the crowds on Feb.15 in the slopestyle with another impressive display of technical riding, landing a string of difficult tricks, including a massive right 900° twist with a tail grab in her second run that earned her 89.18 points to dominate the 18-strong field.“Honestly, my mind is blown,” Gu told the FIS website after the competition. “Coming in I didn’t have any expectations. I try not to take anything for granted. Honestly, I could not have expected two wins from these events.”“I really just came in trying to do my best and ski the way I knew I could. Skiing my best is really the best part of this, and being rewarded for it just makes it even better.”Born to a Chinese mother and an American father in San Francisco, US, Gu, better known as Eileen in the States, completed a naturalization process last June to represent China in international competitions.Now she has her sights set on doing her mother’s home country proud at the 2022 Beijing Games.A talented skier who has won many national junior titles in the US, Gu became a hit last month after winning two golds and a silver — in halfpipe, Big Air and slopestyle — at her first appearance in Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, Switzerland.With Gu now on board in freeski, China’s snow sports team, which also features world-class aerial skiers and halfpipe snowboarders, is determined to challenge Western dominance on the snow in 2022.1.How did Gu Ailing created history in her career?A.She won two gold medals in the World Cup.B.She showed her talent in skiing performance.C.She displayed an impressive technical riding.D.She made a massive right 900° twist twice.2.What mainly made Gu perform well in the match?A.Her powerful determination.B.Her parents’ positive support.C.Her deep love for competition.D.Her relaxing and careful mind.3.When did Gu become known in sports?A.On Feb.15, 2020.B.On Feb.14, 2020.C.In January 2020.D.In June 2019.First Day at SchoolIt was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered, what questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the rule for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me.My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens, so he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu” and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: ”Portsmouth” and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course. “He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.“He’s big enough and useless enough,” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down quickly and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.“Do you want to join my team?” he said.At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.4.The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “________”.A.How old are you?B.Where are you from?C.Do you want to join my team?D.When did you come back to London? 5.We can learn from the passage that ________.A.boys were usually unfriendly to new students B.the writer was not greeted as he expected C.Brian praised the writer for his cleverness D.the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper 6.The underlined part “I didn’t stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not ___. A.noticeable B.nervous C.important D.surprised7.The writer was offered a handkerchief because ________.A.he was in Brian’s team B.he was no longer a new comerC.he was beginning to be accepted D.he pushed a player on the other teamRESERV ATIONIn order to make a reservation, please fill in the pre-reservation form.

The study examined over 60 years of hurricanes which hit the US. The results showed there were higher death tolls, on average, when the hurricanes were given a female name. This wasn’t because female-named hurricanes were any more severe; rather that people’s behavior changed.Sharon Shavitt, one of the authors of the report, explained: “In judging the intensity of a storm, people appear to be applying their beliefs about how men and women behave. This makes a female-named hurricane, such as Belle or Candy, seem gentled and less violent.” People unconsciously say to themselves: how could I be killed by a hurricane called Candy? In fact, hurricanes are named arbitrarily, and the names tell you nothing about the severity of the storm.But, if people in the path of the storm are letting its name affect whether they take shelter, what we call it may matter more than we think. Having searched through the records, the researchers returned to the lab to test their finding experimentally. People were given a series of hypothetical storms with male and female names and asked to make judgments about their intensity and the risk they faced. The results showed that people often regarded male-named hurricanes, like Hurricane Christopher or Hurricane Victor as more intense and riskier than the female-named ones, like Hurricane Alexandra and Hurricane Christ. Shavitt continued, “People imagining a ‘female’ hurricane were not as willing to seek shelter. The fixed ideas that underlie these judgments are subtle and not necessarily hostile toward women — they may involve viewing women as warmer and less aggressive than men.”The fact is that until the late 1970s, hurricanes were always given female names, as they were thought to represent women’s qualities like unpredictability. This practice — and the sexist reasoning behind it — was rightly abandoned in favour of choosing between male and female. Strangely, though, what we’ve learnt is that we’d be better off naming all hurricanes after men to take advantage of people’s fixed views.The researchers estimate that changing a severe hurricane’s name from “Eloise” to “Charles” could potentially cut the death toll by one-third. Perhaps the naming of hurricane is one specific situation where we shouldn’t worry about being sexist, if being a little sexist is going to save lives. 11.Hurricanes with female names are likely to cause more deaths because________.A.male named hurricanes are not terribleB.female-named hurricanes are more severeC.people think the female-named hurricanes are not severeD.people prefer to challenge the male-named hurricanes12.The underlined word “arbitrarily” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A.for humor B.on purpose C.by chance D.in turn 13.According to the passage, which name can possibly cut the death toll?A.Eloise.B.Candy.C.Christina.D.Charles.14.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.future hurricane’s will be named after men more often B.being sexist in naming hurricane’s helps save livesC.sexism in naming hurricane’s will be banned D.rules of naming hurricane will be changed It was a hot summer day, and I became thirsty. The sun was right above our heads, and my thirst became unbearable. My mouth was completely dry. We could see a village at the bottom of the mountain — four hours away, according to the smuggler. After a few minutes, however, we got to a small lake. The water was yellow and covered with algae, but the smuggler drank it and brought me a cup of water to drink. As I looked into the cup, I was reminded of the solution that we prepared in biology class in order to grow bacteria. This was the main source of water for the village. Who knows what microorganisms were swimming in that lake.“I wouldn’t drink it if I were you,” my aunt said. But I closed my eyes and drank the whole cup at once. I would worry about the consequences later.We reached the village just before sunset. After eating dinner and resting for several hours, we started to travel again. The night journey was magnificent. The sky was clear, the moon was full, and millions of stars seemed to be twinkling at the night travelers. We could hear the bells of another car a van coming from the opposite direction, getting louder and louder as it got close. The ding-a-ling of that caravan added a rhythm to the lonely desert.Now we were on the land of the Freedom Fighters. We knew if they recognized the smuggler, they would kill all of us as spies. The Freedom Fighters and the Millitia are enemies to each other, and the Freedom Fighters did not trust anyone who was traveling with an agent.At dawn we reached a small teahouse, where we had some tea and bread. We walked on, and soon a signpost got my attention. As I got closer, I was able to read the words: Welcome to Pakistan I started to cry, walking backwards to get one last glimpse of my beloved country. 15.The author hesitated to drink the water, because ________A.it was prepared for biology class B.It was bitter to drinkC.only the villagers could drink it D.It might make the author sick16.From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ________A.the travelers were singing to the rhythm of the bellsB.the other car a van rang the bells louder and louderC.the author was in fairly high spirits while travelingD.the ding-a-ling was an alarm warning danger to them17.The author walked backwards because ________A.he hated to leave his motherland B.he didn’t want to go to PakistanC.he was too tired to walk forwards D.He returned to where he was born In the mid-1950s, I was a bored boy student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day,this approach threw me into embarrassment.In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson,Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数加减法).Our teacher typically assigned (布置) daily homework,which would be checked in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations (计算).However, what I failed to expect was that several students were absent. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I tried my best to think of and decide which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me. but my brain couldn’t function at that moment.When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No.14. “I (I)didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face burned with shame.I thought a lot after class that day. Till now, I still remember what happened in that math class. If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.18.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.The author thought making an effort was important.B.Mrs. Totten asked students to grade their homework themselves.C.The author thought doing the necessary was enough.D.The students were asked to answer homework questions together.19.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________. A.requested her students to finish their usual questionsB.walked up and down when asking questionsC.chose two or three questions for the studentsD.asked questions in a way that the author was familiar with20.The author failed to get the questions he had expected because________.A.several students didn’t come to schoolB.the class didn’t begin as usualC.Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the classD.he suffered from a serious disease21.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.A Creative Student B.An Unforgettable TeacherC.A Valuable Lesson D.An Effective ApproachOne of the greatest gifts one generation can give to other generations is the wisdom (智慧) it has gained from experience.

We’ve booked agood mix of beaches, some time in a safari tent to hopefully see elephants in the wild.For my bag, I’ll most likely take the Quiksilver 40L Pack because it has the built-in wet pack for my bikinis.

Denmark’s agriculture minister is herself an organic farmer. The UK market for organic food grew by 55 percent in 2000, while the food market as a whole grew by only one percent. Yet only seven percent of British shoppers account for nearly 60 percent of organic sales. However popular the idea of organic farming may be, it is still an interest for only a few people.So what makes the idea of organic farming popular? Organic farming means farming with natural materials, rather than with man-made fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farmers rely on many methods — such as crop rotation (农作物的轮作) and the use of resistant(有抵抗力的)varieties, because they are necessary for organic farmers to compensate forthe shortage of man-made chemicals.Organic farming is often supposed to be safer than traditional farming for the environment. Yet after a long research on organic farming worldwide for a number of years, science continues to be against this opinion. The House of Commons committee on agriculture publicized that, even with complete research work, it would fail to find any scientific evidence to prove “that any of claims (宣称)made for organic farming is always true”.However, the talk about the benefits of organic farming is going on. This is partly because many people depend on their individual farm, the soil, the weather, and so on.1. The first paragraph mainly tells us _____.A. organic farming has been performed only in Europe over the past 10 yearsB. governments of European countries have cared less about organic farmingC. organic farming is far from being as popular as expectedD. European countries need organic food more than the other countries in the world2.

It refers to farming with natural materials, instead of chemical fertilizers.B. It refers to farming with chemical fertilizers rather than natural fertilizers.C. It refers to farming with soil rather than any other thing.D. It refers to growing crops with man-made fertilizers and pesticides.4. According to the third paragraph, _____.A. organic farming is safer than traditional farming for the environmentB. the idea that organic farming is safer has not been proven by scienceC. orga nic farming is accepted by the UK’s House of Commons committeeD. organic farming is preferred to traditional farming5.

In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan (麦哲伦). Magellan sailed from Seville in August, 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the cold winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan Strait (海峡). In November, 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America. They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines (菲律宾), men were dying of starvation (饥饿). While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa.
