（2020·辽宁鞍山市·鞍山一中高三月考）    I have a neighbor who is a capable and fashionable seventy-year-old single woman. Her name is Grace. Grace was laid off from her job a little over two years ago and has been living off her savings ever since. She has not technically “retired”. Grace called me up one day about this time last year and asked if I had a ladder. She needed to clean out her gutters (雨水槽) and wanted me to hold the ladder.

She didn’t want me to climb up and clean the gutters: she just wanted me to hold the ladder. As it happened, did have ladder. However, being typical procrastinator (拖延者), I said, “The leaves are going to fall off the trees in a month. Why don’t we wait and do it then?” She agreed and naturally we didn’t talk about it again until spring. Spring in Tennessee is wild and we talked about it over the course of three weeks, during which time it rained nearly every day. Then got busy and Grace went into seclusion (隐居).

A couple weeks ago, she told me she’d been spending too much money and decided to apply for a tending job at a local hotel. Though I didn’t know much about today’s people, I’d never considered what it would be like to apply for and begin a new job at the age of seventy. I’m fifty-three and the closer get to that age, the more I think about how great it’ll be if I can just get out of bed when I’m seventy. Anyway she got the job, serving and tending guests at the hotel. She actually lived out her life motto.

The day she left for her training at 6:00 a.m., I walked across the street with my ladder and went to clean out her gutters.

1．What did Grace want to do this time last year?

A．Make a ladder. B．Retire completely.

C．Do some cleaning work. D．Ask the author to clear up her gutters.

2．What might be Grace’s life motto?

A．Don’t compare yourself to others. B．Just live the way you like.

C．Acknowledge you’re not alone. D．It’s never too late to learn.

3．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．The author is a warm-hearted neighbor.

B．The author lives far away from Grace.

C．Grace likes her new job very much.

D．Grace’s new job is quite difficult.

（2021·辽宁沈阳市·高三期末）    Every time Tracy Mccreary, a young mother from London, put her baby daughter Sienna to bed，she and her husband were forced to perform a Mission Impossible style escape. Just walking out of her bedroom would wake her—the noise from their floorboards was so loud that little Sienna would hear it from any room in the house.

“It was really annoying, ” said Paul Lanzarotti, Sienna’s father. “We were exhausted and our house wasn’t fun to live in anymore,” Flooring experts told him that the only solution for the noise was to remove the floorboards and replace them at a cost of E5,000 .

Lanzarotti decided to take matters into his own hands and spent hours on the Internet for a solution. He learned that the noise was caused by friction, which could be stopped if properly lubricated (润滑). Lanzarotti also found out that a chemical compound found in Teflon was one of the world’s best lubricant components.

The determined father discovered that mixing the Teflon compound with an acrylic fluid(丙烯酸流体) could be used to spray the flooring and stop the noise. He then called a chemical company and asked its engineers to produce the spray which he called“Stop Creak”.

“I tested it at home and just couldn’t believe the result. I sprayed it in Sienna’ s room first and the floor was immediately silenced,” said Lanzarotti. “Eight months later, it was still silent. It felt like a huge relief. When Tracy saw the difference for the first time, her face just lit up. You can treat a couple of rooms in an hour.” he added. “It’ s a no-brainer for any parents with noisy floors, and it’ll be life-changing.”

4．What was the problem with Sienna?

A．She made a lot of noise at night.

B．She was too young to walk alone.

C．She was often woken from her sleep.

D．She was afraid of sleeping by herself.

5．Which of the following words can best describe Lanzarotti?

A．Caring and creative. B．Honest and generous.

C．Cautious and friendly. D．Ambitious and sensitive.

6．How did Lanzarotti probably feel after he tried the spray in Sienna’s room?

A．Amazed. B．Confused.

C．Frightened. D．Disappointed.

7．What do the underlined word “a no-brainer” in the last paragraph mean?

（2021·武汉市第一中学高三期中）    It’s been less than a month since Arnold, a Texas high school student, was forbidden from going to the prom and graduation unless he cut his locs. As his story spread on social media, celebrities and activists came to Arnold’s defence and encouraged him to stand up to his school’s hair discrimination. Now, in a significant turn of events, he’s proudly wearing his own hair-style at the 2020 Oscars.

Arnold and his mother were invited to attend as the guests of director Matthew A．Cherry, who won the award for Best Animated Short Film for Hair Love tonight. Fittingly, the short film tells the story of a Black father learning to style his daughter’s natural hair.

Arnold told us he couldn’t wait to walk the red carpet with the Hair Love team. “I’m so grateful. I never expected any of this,” Arnold says. “The message of that movie and my message go together so well. I think it’s really amazing how they reached out to me and how we can fight this together.”

Together, Cherry and Arnold are advocating for the nationwide passage of The CROWN Act, which is the law authored by California Senator Holly J. Mitchell that makes it illegal to discriminate against Black people for wearing their natural hair in the workplace or at school. Currently the Act has only been passed in New Jersey, California, and New York.

Arnold has also received the support of celebrities, including Ellen DeGeneres, who invited him to appear on her daytime show and surprised him with a $20,000 scholarship from Alicia Keys. Arnold says the scholarship will help him pursue his dream of becoming a veterinarian. Arnold tells us. “The most exciting thing is seeing all the people that are on my side. I thought it would be a lot more hate than support.” Tonight, Arnold is looking forward to sharing his story on a massive platform. “As teenagers, we have a voice and we’re the future,” he says. “I want more cultural acceptance. If there’s any other situation that I feel like I need to stand up for, I would do that in a heartbeat.”

8．What happened to Arnold not long ago?

A．He played a role in a short film.

B．He managed to apply for a scholarship.

C．He dropped out of school owing to his hair.

D．He was not allowed to attend some school activities.

9．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Violence. B．Discrimination. C．Panic. D．Starvation.

10．What do we know from the passage?

A．Hair Love was based on Arnold’s experiences.

B．Alicia Keys shaped Arnold’s cultural acceptance.

C．Mitchell had been punished for wearing natural hair.

D．The CROWN Act has not been adopted nationwide.

11．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To share a teenager’s story. B．To advocate the passage of an act.

C．To introduce an Oscar-winning film. D．To express his dissatisfaction with society.

（2021·江西宜春市·上高二中高二月考）    It is among nature’s greatest spectacles. Each year, thousands of sea turtle mothers clamber ashore, dig into the sand to lay their eggs, and then return to the sea. After being incubated（孵）for around two months, the eggs hatch and the tiny turtles strive to reach the water.

Approximately 90 percent of the sea turtle nesting in the United States happens on Florida's beaches , according to the Sea Turtle Conservancy, a Gainesville-based research and conservation organization. During the nesting season, which runs from March through October, the sands are normally crowded with humans. However, this year the coronavirus pandemic severely reduced travel and required some states to close their beaches for weeks. While this sounded disappointing to the visitors, it may have been a boon to the sea turtles.

For turtle mothers, there can be " false crawls" , in which a female encounters a distraction between the water and a potential nesting site. The crowded beaches would interrupt the sea turtles' plan, sending them back to the ocean without laying eggs.

“ In terms of a successful rate of nesting, we actually did find a significant difference during the beach closures and then after," says Justin Perrault, director of the organization, “We have observed approximately 17,000 nests along Juno, Jupiter-Carlin, and Tequesta beaches this year. During the closures, loggerheads, one of the commonly seen turtles on Florida's beach, successfully nested 61 percent. When the beaches reopened, that number dropped to 46 percent. ”

Jimena Gutierrrez, a Sea Turtle Conservancy biologist also expresses her opinion, “ Normally the turtles are conserved because we have a lot of people coming to see them. With fewer tourism dollars supporting local workers, we are worried about the conservationists as well as the turtles. But maybe in the long run, we will see good numbers because there is less boat traffic in the ocean.

12．What does the underlined word “boon” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Cure. B．Option.

C．Blessing. D．Challenge.

13．What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?

A．Closures should be expanded for turtles, nesting.

B．This year has witnessed the highest nest rate in history.

C．The nest rate has remained steady over the whole nesting season.

D．Less human disturbance has led to more successful nesting.

14．How does Jimena's opinion sound?

A．Anxious. B．Ambiguous. C．Indifferent. D．Objective.

15．Where can we probably read this article?

A．www. sealifeconservation. com. B．www. worldissues. com.

C．www. scienceforstudents. com. D．www. newsflash. com.

（2020·安徽淮北市·淮北一中高三三模）    People often say that “failure is the mother of success”. 16． As a result, Manalo, a professor of educational psychology in Japan says, “We know we shouldn’t give up when we fail—but in reality, we do.”

Manalo and Manu, a professor of learning sciences in Swiss, put together a special issue (专利) last December on benefiting from failure. The issue’s 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for achieving success. 17． Another confirmed that advice on failures is most constructive when the receiver is prepared to experience unpleasant feelings.

Manalo and his co-authors also focused on overcoming one everyday form of failure: not completing a task. They asked 131 students to write an article about their school experiences. Half of the students received instructions for their writing, and half were left to their own. 18． Afterward the researchers found that those in the instructed group were more willing to complete their articles, compared with those who lacked guidance—even if the latter were closer to being done. 19．

20． Stephanie Couch, the director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, holds the opinion. Couch, whose work was also featured in the special issue, says that we should tell them to think of failure as part of a process toward success.

A．However, all were stopped before finishing.

B．The saying shows the importance of success.

C．Teaching students not to fear failure makes goals achieved more easily.

D．One study reported that the sooner students fail, the sooner they can move forward.

E.Though having some truth to it, the saying does not tell us how to turn a loss into a win.

F.They believed that learning how to fail can help people avoid becoming lasting failures.

G.Knowing how to finish, in other words, was more important than being close to finishing.

（2021·武汉市第一中学高三期中）    To a large degree，the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment rather than yesterday or tomorrow.

（2020·上海市行知中学高二月考）Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.

Envy

It’s a familiar but uncomfortable feeling. Your best friend will marry a handsome doctor, and the congratulatory hug you offer lacks genuine warmth. Your friend is made the team for Saturday’s big game, and you take a certain pleasure in telling him you can’t be there to watch him play. You smile but a voice in your head asks, why them and not you?

Envy is a shortcoming of character we like to keep in our heart secretly. How shameful is it not to be looking forward with delight to your day as your best friend’s bridesmaid! Who would hope your friend might suffer some injury, so you can take his place on the team?

Envy is everywhere. It seems to be in our nature to hate others’ gifts and good fortune, especially if we see them as advantages they shouldn’t have.

Envy raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but we don’t possess now. Worse still, we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone’s losing what we have always desired. When you compare yourself and your life unfavorably with your friend or your colleague, you can only keep your darker emotions.

So, is there a solution? Is there anything you can do to get rid of this most ungenerous emotion? Well, why not make envy the motivation you need for self-improvement? The best weapon against envy is not to compete where you can’t shine, but to do your absolute best where you can.

Start by making peace with yourself, and accept the gifts which make you unique. Make an agreement with yourself to be the best you can be. Then find the qualities in others that cause your envy. Is it someone’s singing voice, their work promotion, their new car? Envy shows us the things we’d like to have. So, make a plan to earn what’s important to you.

And aim for genuine pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others. Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal. Enjoy your best friend’s wedding day. Then go out and do something special, and make yourself wonderfully proud of you.
