2021年高考英语精品试题专题13 阅读表达 训练3一、阅读理解题 I met Mrs. Sase in my senior year of high school. I was struggling greatly in her math class. On top of always struggling with math, I was dealing with the anxiety that came with being a foster youth and worrying deeply about the future that lay in store for me. I had been living with my foster parents (养父母), and our agreement was that after graduation I was to move out and begin my life as an adult to support myself, at seventeen. What accompanied the burden of the anxiety was a lack of motivation in school. Most teachers didn't notice me. Mrs. Sase, however, took a closer look. I will never forget the first time she walked over to my desk and handed me a little folded note. It read, "Are you okay?" I was shocked by her genuine care and interest in my well-being. Not only was she sensitive enough to notice my reserve, but she also took the time to personally make a difference. She listened as I shared my most hidden fears about my past and the uncertain future that was closing in on me. She listened when others seemed to be too busy to show concern. And she agreed to write a letter of recommendation for me when I decided to apply for the Guardian Scholars Program, a program committed to helping ambitious, college-bound students exit the foster care system. I found new ambition through Mrs. Sase's support and devotion to my academic and personal success. Gradually, not only did my grades improve, but my confidence also improved. The most amazing thing about Mrs. Sase was that I was just one of an army of students who would confess that Mrs. Sase had changed their lives. Her entire classroom was filled with letters of utmost appreciation for her and the life-changing impact she had had on so many students. Once, Mrs. Sase was in hospital for a week, during which we students visited her in turns and tried our best to do something for her because in our mind Mrs. Sase was an angel who spread her wings far and wide.(1) What was the agreement between the author and his foster parents? (no more than 10 words) (2) How did the agreement affect the author? (no more than 12 words) (3) How did Mrs. Sase care about him? (no more than 15 words) (4) How do you understand the underlined part in the last paragraph? (no more than 15 words) (5) What do you learn from the author's story? (no more than 20 words) Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰) is the highest mountain in the world. This mountain is located in Asia. Asia is the home to all five of the world's highest mountains. Mount Qomolangma's peak is five and one-half miles above sea level. That is very high! Many climbers have tried to climb to the peak of Mount Qomolangma. The first people to reach the peak were Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. Since then, about 900 people have survived the climb to Mount Qomolangma's summit. One of the most successful climbers is Erik Weihenmayer. Like all who try to climb this huge mountain, Erik faced strong winds, snow, and avalanches (雪崩). However, what really made Erik's climb unbelievable is the fact that he is blind. After losing his sight at age 13, Erik began climbing at age 16. He has climbed the tallest mountains on five continents. Erik became the first blind person to reach the peak of Mount Qomolangma. At the age of 32, Erik began his climb as part of a 19-member team. His team wore bells that he could follow using his climb. By using them, fellow climbers could quickly warn him of such things as a big drop on the right or a big stone to the left. During his climb, Erik faced many dangers. He struggled through 100m.p.h winds and sliding (滑动的) masses of snow, ice, and rock. Because the air became thinner the higher Erik climbed, he wore an oxygen mask, as do many who climb high mountains. It took Erik about two and a half months to reach the top of this huge mountain.(1) What does the underlined word "summit" in the second paragraph mean? (1 word) (2) What made Erik's climbing Mount Qomolangma special? (No more than 10 words) (3) How did the fellow climbers warn Erik of some small dangers during the climb? (No more than 5 words) (4) What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? (No more than 10 words) (5) What do you think of Erik Weihenmayer? And why? (No more than 25 words) Seven years ago, my wife told our 6-year-old daughter about our wedding weekend. My wife had moved back home to spend the weekend with her family. As I was tucking our daughter in (把女儿的被子掖好) later that night, she asked if she could "come home like mommy did" when she got married one day. (Hopefully, one day far off into the future...) I told her our house would always be open to her. She gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. She was extremely happy. After a few seconds, I could see her mind churning (思绪翻腾)—the happiness dissipated. She pushed her finger into my belly and told me in low, spirits, "Your belly is too big and you are too fat. I don't know if you are going to make it." I was shocked. It was true that my health had fallen into a huge decline in the previous five years as I was building Contegix. I had not thought of it as destroying a future with my family. A 6-year-old girl saw what I missed. I decided to run a mile the next morning. I couldn't make it 1/4 mile. I didn't give up and next morning. Seven years later, I have lost 60 pounds and regular run ultra marathons. I attempted my first 100 miles last August, but I missed the terminal point at mile 87 after running on a torn hamstring (腿筋撕裂) for the previous 79 miles. Yet, the most important distance I will ever go will be walking her down the aisle (结婚) one day. I would not make it if it hadn't been for the honesty and innocence of a 6-year-old.(1) Why was the author's daughter happy? (no more than 15 words) (2) What does the underlined word "dissipated" in Paragraph 3 mean? (one word) (3) What happened to the author as he was building Contegix? (no more than 10 words) (4) What does the author regularly do seven years later? (no more than 5 words) (5) What do you think of the author? Please explain. (no more than 25 words) When we were growing up in our grandparents' home, Jack, my grandfather, was always in his room sitting in the chair and listening to the radio. The voices speaking from the metal box day and night, taught us that there was a larger world outside. He would roll the black dial (刻度盘) back and forth until the signal was clear. Then he would listen. Now he is old and falls ill. When I went to visit him, he said to me, "I dislike the Internet. The problem is that we're losing primary contact with each other. No more shaking hands. Everyone is so busy. We want too much and in the process of getting it we miss so much." He stopped for a while. "It makes me lonely and sad." Then he looked at me, "I just want to hear your voices." I think of all the voices on the radio he has spent a lifetime listening to. I asked, "How did you become interested in radio?" "I don't know," he said. "It was another way to reach people. I was always interested in searching for a better signal, a clearer, more powerful signal that could communicate with someone somewhere." "And I'll tell you another funny thing: you can electronically eliminate all kinds of noise from the signal, but you can't get rid of natural noise caused by thunder and lightning, rainstorms, or snowstorms." He closed his eyes and smiled. "I was just thinking that in spite of all our technologies, maybe we haven't progressed that far as human beings. We shouldn't forget we still have the same basic needs." (1) What did Jack use to do in his room? (No more than 12 words)(2) Why did Jack roll the black dial back and forth? (No more than 5 words)(3) How is Jack feeling now? (No more than 8 words)(4) What does the underlined word "eliminate" in Paragraph 4 mean?
