A

(2018·石家庄高三联考)In the course of our lives, someone with whom we got acquainted

by accident often inspires us.

Early one morning, I opened the window to find that the sun was

splashed everywhere. The sunshine warmed my face, making it

comfortable. I started to play my beloved violin. My mind was quite

focused, my spirit firm, and my mood entirely free of worry. When I was

playing the climax to the piece, a sound from next door got my attention.

I was fascinated and had a special idea: “How wonderful if we

played together！” I began to play pieces by Beethoven with my neighbor, one piece after another.

We played together so well that I was curious about how she or he looked. However, I couldn't

figure out why the violinist next door never responded when I knocked on the door. I was

extremely disappointed.

A year later, I took part in a violin competition. At the event, I made a new friend, whose

name was Rita. This girl, who was my age, was deaf and dumb, but she had played the violin for

eight years! I saw Rita carefully walk onto the stage. She put the violin between her neck and

shoulder and began to perform. “The melody is so familiar！” I said to myself. It was

unbelievable that a girl who was deaf and dumb could play such marvelous music. The audience

warmly applauded her. What was even harder to believe was that the girl was my neighbor. It was

fate that we should meet and become friends.

Rita's story made me realize that life is not always sunny or poetic; sometimes there are

violent storms and setbacks. However, no matter what you suffer, believe in yourself and strive.

You can succeed.

语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的邻居是位聋哑姑娘，但她却能用小提琴演奏出美妙的乐曲。作者通过这个故事告诉我们：有志者，事竟成。

1．Why was there no response every time the author knocked on his neighbor's door?

A．His neighbor had moved away.

B．His neighbor meant to decline him.

C．His neighbor was hearing-challenged.

D．His neighbor was too excited to respond.

解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It was unbelievable that a girl who was deaf and

dumb could play such marvelous music.”并结合全文内容可知，作者的邻居就是这位聋哑女孩，她听不到敲门声所以无法回应。故C项正确。

2．What is the message conveyed in the last paragraph?

A．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

B．Happiness exists in acceptance.

C．A fall in the pit, a gain in your wit.

D．Smile to life, and you'll get a smile back.

解析：选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, no matter what you suffer, believe

in yourself and strive. You can succeed.”可推知，最后一段主要表达的是“有志者，事竟成”。故A项正确。

3．The author wrote this text mainly to________.

A．introduce his neighbor Rita

B．value his friendship with Rita

C．speak highly of Rita's violin skills

D．show the inspiration he got from Rita

解析：选D 写作意图题。根据第一段并结合最后一段内容可知，本文旨在告诉读者作者从邻居——聋哑女孩Rita那里得到的启示。故D项正确。

B

My cellphone rang while I was working on my computer. I looked at the phone and saw it

was my 17­year­old son, Tom. I quickly picked it up. “Mom, I got a 71 on the test. I did it.” With

those few words, I could feel my heart start to pound.

Living in New York State, students cannot graduate from high school unless they pass at least

five exams: one in English, one in science, two in history and one in math. For most students, who

work hard, attend class, and do their homework, it isn't that hard. But for Tom, who is dyslexic (朗读困难的), it is such a real challenge that some teachers have feared he would never be able to

even attempt, never mind achieve.

We were honest with him about his trouble, letting him know that there was nothing to be

ashamed of. Some people learn differently. If he was willing to work, we would help him find a

way to do as much as he could in his academic career. All that was standing in his way was this

math test. He had taken it three times and did better each time, but he continued to fail. He was

starting to get a bit tired of me saying this was a marathon not a sprint (冲刺). My heart broke

each time we would get the failing results.

“Mom, thanks. I love you. Thanks for believing I could do this.”

For one of the few times in my life, I really had nothing left to say. For that one brief moment

I knew, really, really, knew that everything we did to help our son achieve what he wanted was

worth it.

语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的儿子Tom患有朗读困难症，所以学习不好，而纽约的高中要求学生通过五门考试才能毕业，作为母亲，作者想尽一切办法使Tom相信

他自己可以做到。经过努力Tom终于通过了考试。

4．What does the underlined word“pound” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Sink suddenly. B．Beat wildly.

C．Ache violently. D．Break totally.

解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Mom, I got a 71 on the test. I did it.”并结合下文内容可推断，作者的儿子有朗读困难症，数学考了三次都没及格，这次他考了71分，通过了考试，故作者应该会感到非常激动，心怦怦直跳。故pound应意为“(心脏)剧烈地跳动”，即beat wildly。故答案选B。
