For the past 18 years, Deng Xiaolan worked as a volunteer teacher in a village called Malan in Fuping, Hebei Province. Born in 1943, Deng was raised by local farmers until she was three.
During Qingming Festival in 2003, Deng took part in an event in Malan in memory of martyrs(烈士).When some local primary school students were organized to sing the national anthem(国歌) during the ceremony, Deng found that only one or two of them could sing the anthem. So she decided to teach the children music in the hope that they could leave the mountains and discover new things. When the villagers told her the children had no talent for music, Deng said they simply needed to start to learn. In 2004, Deng went to the village to teach the subject. When she founded the Malan Band in 2006, her friends in Beijing donated musical instruments to the village. Children in Malan had instruments they had never seen before. They were amazed at the sounds they produced. Deng taught them to sing and to play the violin and the piano. In 2006 the band was renamed Malan Flower Children’s Chorus and two years later Deng brought them to perform in Beijing’s Zhongshan Park-the first time the children had left the mountains. Over 18 years, Deng taught more than 200 children in Malan and nearby villages, with many of them going on to attend college. She donated nearly 500 musical instruments and some 1,000 books to Malan.
Deng died on March 21, 2022. Just some six weeks before her death, 44 children from Malan and nearby villages sang the Olympic Anthem at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in the Bird’s Nest in Beijing. It was Deng that helped bring these children deep in mountains onto such a big stage.
4. Why did Deng Xiaolan teach music to the children in Malan?
A. To bring them to important ceremonies.
B. To help them remember the local martyrs.
C. To show that they have a talent for music.
D. To introduce them to the outside world.
5. What happened after Deng worked as a volunteer teacher in Malan?
A. The school bought musical instruments for kids.
B. Many kids received higher education.
C. Deng invited her friends to the village.
D. Many schools were built by volunteers.
6. Which of the following best describes Deng according to Paragraph 3?
A. Easy-going B. Hard-working
C. Warm-hearted D. Self-educated
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Deng made a difference to the children’s life.
B. Deng failed to see the children’s success.
C. The children behaved well without Deng.
D. The kids will never go back to the mountains.
【答案】4. D5. B6. C7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了2022年2月，由河北省阜平县44个孩子组成的“马兰花合唱团”登上了北京冬奥会开幕式的舞台。而这一成功的背后离不开一个人18年来一直义务教授村里孩子音乐课程的邓小岚。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“So she decided to teach the children music in the hope that they could leave the mountains and discover new things （所以她决定教孩子们音乐，希望他们能离开大山，去发现新事物）”可知，邓小岚教授孩子们音乐，是希望他们将来有一天能够离开山区，去发现新事物。即教授音乐是为了带他们了解外面的世界。故选D。
【5题详解】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段描述的邓小岚教授山区孩子音乐的情况以及“She donated nearly 500 musical instruments and some 1,000 books to Malan（她向马兰捐赠了近500件乐器和1000多本书）”可知，她不仅花费时间去做志愿者老师，还捐赠了许多物品。由此可知，她是一位热心肠的人。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通过最后一段“44 children from Malan and nearby villages sang the Olympic Anthem at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in the Bird’s Nest in Beijing. It was Deng that helped bring these children deep in mountains onto such a big stage.（在北京鸟巢举行的冬奥会开幕式上，来自马兰和附近村庄的44名儿童高唱奥林匹克圣歌。正是邓把这些深山中的孩子们带到了这么大的舞台上）”可知，在邓小岚人生的最后阶段，她教授的深山里的孩子们成功登上北京冬奥会开幕式的舞台。由此可知，她对孩子们影响深远, 改变了他们的人生。故选A。

【02】山西省临汾市2022-2023学年高三上学期高中学业水平考
I accidentally found a time capsule, in purple and green floss (丝线) in the midst of sorting out some old things last month. Faded and worn, it was a friendship bracelet (手链)—an important part of my teenage summers. Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood, which my kids will never know firsthand.
My handiwork wasn’t beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them. The experience was intoxicating—like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond. Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each other, at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.
I slept with my bracelets and showered with them. I wore them all summer long at camp. And I acquired new bracelets from friends there—friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return, as we said our tearful end-of-summer goodbyes. I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends. But now I see that they were really helping me to leave behind childhood.
My kids don’t go to summer camp. They certainly don’t exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends. They hang out on Discord (一种聊天工具) in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets, and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces. There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.
4. Why does the author compare a bracelet to a time capsule?
A. It is faded and worn.
B. It is shaped like a capsule.
C. It reminds her of her childhood.
D. It was made by the author herself.
5. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word “intoxicating” in Paragraph 2?
A. Exciting. B. Terrible.
C. Professional. D. Strange.
6. Why does the author think her kids’ childhood is different from hers?
A. They spend too much time on their cellphones.
B. They make more friends at summer camp.
C. They are unwilling to give bracelets to parents.
D. They often send hand-made gifts to their friends.
7. What can be implied about the friendship bracelets?
A. They proved the author’s kids had much to physically hold on to.
B. They gave meaning to the author’s childhood in a way her kids will never know.
C. They represented both the author and her kids’ unforgettable childhood.
D. They recalled the author’s deep sorrow of leaving close friends at summer camp.
【答案】4. C5. A6. A7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者发现了一条手链，让她回想起童年和朋友们交换礼物，也感叹如今手机等电子设备的出现，孩子们沉浸于虚拟世界，聊天软件，而失去了这种交流的方式。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Faded and worn, it was a friendship bracelet (手链)—an important part of my teenage summers.(这是一个友谊手链，褪色了，磨损了，这是我少年时代夏天的重要组成部分。)”可知，这串手链与作者童年的夏天有着重要的联系，所以把手链与时间胶囊联系起来正是因为手链让作者想到了自己童年的夏天。故选C。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前句“My handiwork wasn’t beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them.(我手艺并不漂亮。但我记得的是送礼物的美妙之处：把某样东西塞到朋友手里，知道它将永远陪伴着他们。)”和后半句“like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond.(就像交换结婚戒指的严肃交易一样，它象征着牢不可破的纽带。)”可知，作者的手工艺品并不是很美，但是当把它送给朋友时意义变得深刻。所以这样的体验是令人兴奋的。所以intoxicating为“令人兴奋的”之意。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“They hang out on Discord (一种聊天工具) in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.(他们在Discord上聊天，只会暂停，不会结束。我们的大儿子不停地在手机上发短信，他和朋友们互相制作会说话的表情包和TikTok视频。)”可知，作者认为与以前不同的是现在的孩子们花太多的时间在手机上。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.(若干年后，不会再有一盒盒的信件需要整理，也不会有任何隐藏的手镯需要寻找。他们几乎没有什么可以依靠的东西。)”可知，代表友谊的手链只有作者有，她的孩子没有。作者提到了手链让她想起了美妙的童年生活，而这种感受当今的孩子们是无法体会的，因为他们大多数沉浸在虚拟世界。这些手链以一种她的孩子们永远不会知道的方式赋予了作者童年的意义。故选B。

【03】江苏省苏州市2022〜2023学年高三上学期八校联考
A woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church-goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It’s extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a problem.
In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise:carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.
One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be“a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $ 28 ticket to be more valid than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming irrelevant.”
4. What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?
A. To get her phone. B. To escape the crowd.
C. To take a photo. D. To push ahead.
5. How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?
A. By setting periods without photo-taking.
B. By making the exhibition free of charge.
C. By compromising with the government.
D. By extending the free exhibition hours.
6. The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may ________.
A. uncover the truth B. cause irrelevancy
C. bring more pleasure D. play a negative role
7. Which of the following may Linda Butler support?
A. Reducing admission prices.
B. Catering to visitors.
C. Reserving judgement in public.
D. Banning social media and photography.
【答案】4. C5. A6. D7. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是新闻报道，介绍了一家博物馆收到了很多人的抱怨，抱怨者们纷纷称已经影响了他们的看展体验，因为拍照的欲望成了一些人去博物馆的巨大动力，也成了另外一些老顾客心烦的原因。于是，该博馆物采取了一个折中的办法：在展期内抽出“无拍照”时间。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers ”（她急于给一束花拍照）可知，女人非常渴望拍照，故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise:carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.”（因此，博物馆做出了一种折中的回应：在为期六天的展览中抽出“无照片”的时间）可知，面对人们的抱怨，博物馆采取了一个折中的办法：在展期内抽出“无拍照”时间。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them.”可知，在社交媒体对博物馆文化影响的争论中，一个常见的抱怨是，人们似乎错过了体验，因为他们太忙于收集证据，也就是社交媒体的使用在参观博物馆过程中起消极的作用。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming irrelevant.””可知，她认为，如果限制适用社交媒体和拍照，博物馆可能变得无关紧要（不那么受欢迎），由此可知，Linda Butler认为博物馆要迎合游客。故选B。

【04】山西省朔州市2022-2023学年高三上学期开学摸底测
Anne Lacaton and Jean-Phippe Vassal, this year’s Pritzker Prize winners, were as surprised as anyone else when the most famous award in architecture was made public yesterday.
“Of course it’s very pleasant, and we are very pleased,”Lacaton said at a conference with her partner, both smiling broadly from their black eyeglasses.
Putting aside their eyeglasses, Lacaton and Vassal could not be more different from an earlier generation of Pritzker winners, known for their easily recognizable styles and grand work. Instead, the two apply their simple guideline to their work on old urban buildings for low-income families: Never destroy, never remove or replace, always add, transform, and reuse!
When Lacaton and Vassal were asked to redesign a particularly large and over-crowded public housing block in Bordeaux in 2017, the residents (居民) told them they could not afford to move, even temporarily, but they wanted bigger units. Their solution was to replace the folding wooden front door with sliding glass door to each unit and painted the ugly walls with something bright. Suddenly, everyone had roomy outdoor space, some of which could be used during the winter as “winter gardens.”
“So, people can not only get sun and light and spend time with family, but it’s also open to neighbors,” Columbia University architecture professor Mabel Wilson.“I would love to live in one of the apartments t they’ve redesigned.”
Their approach of cheap and creative re-adaption could be a model for urban planning in the US, Wilson adds, where destruction has been seen as a solution to old public housing in such cities as Chicago and St. Louis.
There’s a lot of violence in architecture and urbanism. We try to be precise. We try to work with kindness,” Lacaton once explained.“Buildings are beautiful when people feel well in them, when the light inside is beautiful and the air is pleasant, when the exchange with the outside seems easy and gentle, and when uses and sensations are unexpected,”
Lacaton and Vassal started their firm in Paris in 1987. Together, they worked primarily in France.
4. Why are Lacaton’s and Vassal’s eyeglasses mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To draw readers attention to their unusual color.
B. To show that Pritzker Prize winners need eyeglasses.
C. To tell us how surprised and happy they are for the prize
D. To stress their only possible similarity with other Pritzker winners.
5. What did Lacaton and Vassal do in the Bordeaux public housing project?
A. They built winter gardens in the outdoor space.
B. They destroyed the walls to provide more space.
C. They just changed the doors and repainted the walls.
D. They provided bigger temporary rooms for the residents.
6. What have Lacaton and Vassal most probably done to win the Pritzker Prize?
A. They have built many public houses with unique styles.
B. They have designed various famous buildings in the world.
C. They have provided free services for poor families in the US.
D. They have tried to transform old urban buildings with kindness.
7. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Architecture. B. Environment. C. Lifestyle. D. Politics.
【答案】4. D5. C6. D7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。今年的普利策建筑奖意外地颁发给了致力于城市旧公租房改造的Anne Lacaton和Jean-Philippe Vassal。
4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Putting aside their eyeglasses, Lacaton and Vassal could not be more different from an earlier generation of Pritzker winners, known for their easily recognizable styles and grand work.(抛开眼镜不谈，Lacaton和Vassal与前一代的普利茨克获奖者没有什么相同，他们以易于识别的风格和宏大的作品而闻名)”可知，作者是在以戏谑的口气强调这两位获奖者和其他的普利策奖得主之间除了那副眼镜有点相似外，就没有其他的共同点。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Their solution was to replace the folding wooden front door with sliding glass door to each unit and painted the ugly walls with something bright.(他们的解决方案是将每个单元的折叠木门换成滑动玻璃门，并将丑陋的墙壁涂上明亮的颜色)”可知，他们只是重新设计了大门及重新粉刷了墙壁。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead，the two apply their simple guideline to their work on old urban buildings for low-income families: Never destroy, never remove or replace, always add, transform, and reuse!(相反，两人将他们的简单指导方针应用于低收入家庭的旧城市建筑：永远不要破坏、永远不要拆除或更换，永远要添加、改造和再利用！)”及第七段“There’s a lot of violence in architecture and urbanism. We try to be precise. We try to work with kindness,’Lacaton once explained.(建筑和城市化中有很多暴力。我们尽量做到准确。Lacaton曾解释说：“我们努力以善意工作。”)”可推断，他们很可能是因城市旧房改造理念中的人文关怀而获奖的。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“Anne Lacaton and Jean-Phippe Vassal, this year’s Pritzker Prize winners,were as surprised as anyone else when the most famous award in architecture was made public yesterday.(安妮·拉卡顿（Anne Lacaton）和让·菲普·瓦萨尔（Jean Phippe Vassal）是今年的普利茨克奖（Pritzker Prize）获得者，当这个最著名的建筑奖昨天公布时，他们和其他人一样感到惊讶)”以及后文可知，本文主要介绍了Anne Lacaton及Jean-PhilippeVassal的城市旧房改造理念，因此很可能出现在报纸的“建筑”版面。故选A项。

【05】湖南省长沙市长郡中学2022-2023学高三上学期月考卷（二）
Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity.
Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.
But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised(临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.
He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin(标枪). The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second.
At the Olympics，he also took part in the decathlon(十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going.
I think Paul Dughi said it best, “ It’s hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.”
24. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. The adversity Thorpe met with led to his success.
B. Thorpe’s success was no guarantee of a better life.
C. Thorpe’s career brought him both gains and losses.
D. Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success.
25. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot?
A. To prevent the foot from injury.
B. To make the shoe fit the foot.
C. To stop the shoe from being stolen.
D. To show his problem-solving skills.
26. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin?
A. Loss of his own sports shoes.
B. A casual attitude towards the event.
C. Lack of experience in the event.
D. A shortage of talent for the event.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe?
A. Loyal and enthusiastic.
B. Genuine and creative.
C. Tough and strong-minded.
D. Selfless and good-tempered.
【答案】24. D25. B26. C27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了美国印第安人吉姆·索普坎坷的人生经历和他作为运动员所取得的骄人成绩。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.”（索普是来自俄克拉荷马州的美洲印第安人，他在年轻时通过艰苦劳动发展了非凡的运动技能。也正是在他年轻的时候，他学会了忍受种族偏见带来的苦难。许多人会说他的童年并不容易。他出身贫寒，9岁时双胞胎兄弟去世，几年后他失去了双亲。）可知,吉姆·索普经历了很多苦难，幼年时双胞胎兄弟过世，随后父母双亡,青年时又困扰于种族偏见带来的磨难：以及划线句前面的yet表转折意义,可知,划线部分的意思是虽然索普后来有所成就，但却经历了很多苦难。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.”（鞋子有两个不同的尺寸，他一只脚上多穿了一双袜子来平衡。）可知，两只鞋大小不一，因此索普多穿袜子就是为了让鞋合脚。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“because he had never competed in that event before”（因为他以前从未参加过那个项目）可知，他没有参加过标枪比赛，因此比赛经验不足最可能是他失利的原因。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的叙述可知，吉姆·索普成长过程中经历过很多苦难，这很大程度上塑造了他坚韧不拔的性格。第三段的“But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes.”（但这并没有阻止他去做他喜欢的事情，去追求他的梦想。似乎没有什么能阻止他，甚至是偷来的鞋子。）正是对他坚韧不拔性格的刻画，由此可知, tough(坚韧的)和strong-minded(意志坚定的)是对他最准确的描述。故选C。

The social media trap of comparing yourself to others can lead to feelings of confusion and jealousy. That was certainly true for Lizzie Velasquez. “I will look at everyone’s photos and feel horrible about myself,” Velasquez says. “So I have made a rule for myself. If I’m on social media, when I start feeling like I’m falling down the rabbit hole of comparison, I have to stop.”
Feeling pressure from the Internet is nothing new for Velasquez. When she was just 17, a video calling her “The World’s Ugliest Woman” became popular on YouTube. It was a difficult period for her. “I suffered from a rare disease which doesn’t allow me to gain weight and also affects my eyes, my bones and my heart,” explains Velasquez.
Growing up, Velasquez said she lived in two different worlds. At home, her family treated her just like everyone else. Her parents raised her to appreciate herself. But that got harder when she started school. “I didn’t become aware of it until I started kindergarten, because I was entering this other world where I had to face the reality,” says Velasquez.
As Velasquez got into high school, she started to gain more understanding about her condition. But then came the YouTube video, which threatened her already-shaky foundation. Though it was difficult, that moment of bullying(霸凌)inspired Velasquez to use her newfound platform for good. She wanted to stop this behavior. Then she gave a talk about her story, reaching millions with her uplifting messages about beauty. And she gave interviews on national talk shows and was featured in the documentary film A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story. “I want to remind people that no matter how different you are and no matter what people say about you, you are meant to be in this world and being different is unique,” says Velasquez.
4. Where did Velasquez’s teenage pressure mainly come from?
A. Her tense relationships with her parents. B. Others’ criticism of her appearance.
C. Others’ concern about her disease. D. Her popularity on social media.
5. How can we describe Lizzie Velasquez?
A. Brave and inspiring. B. Talented and confident.
C. Sociable and popular. D. Caring and warm-hearted.
6. What did Velasquez do to fight online bullying?
A. Avoid using social media for a while.
B. Call on people to talk directly with the bullies.
C. Encourage the young to improve their taste in beauty.
D. Speak out against the behavior by sharing her experiences.
7. What does the author mainly tell us in the text?
A. The negative effects of online bullying.
B. A girl’s message about beauty and happiness.
C. The public’s attitude to online bullying among teenagers.
D. A story of turning pain into power against online bullying.
【答案】4. B5. A6. D7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了Velasquez经历网络霸凌继而倡导反对网络霸凌的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Feeling pressure from the Internet is nothing new for Velasquez. When she was just 17, a video calling her “The World’s Ugliest Woman” became popular on YouTube. It was a difficult period for her. (感受到来自互联网的压力对Velasquez来说并不是什么新鲜事。当她只有17岁时，一段称她为‘世界上最丑陋的女人’的视频在YouTube上流行起来。对她来说，这是一个艰难的时期。)”和第四段第一、二句“As Velasquez got into high school, she started to gain more understanding about her condition. But then came the YouTube video, which threatened her already-shaky foundation. (随着Velasquez进入高中，她开始对自己的状况有了更多的了解。但随后出现了YouTube视频，这威胁到她已经摇摇欲坠的根基。)”可知，别人对Velasquez外貌的批评是她青少年时期主要的压力来源。故选B。
【5题详解】

I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games – “Do We Need It?” and “Put It in Its Place”– and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine.
If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.
So, this time I found help – the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full Kondo? I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them together for consideration. It makes you rethink how you organize. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy. This way you’re choosing what to keep. And that’s how I find myself with all my clothes on my bedroom floor. My wife walks by and gives me a look that says I’m nuts. She’s probably not wrong.
Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I move through the pile: pants, shirts, suits and shoes. Then my last category: jackets. I haven’t worn the thing in about 30 years. Somehow, it has survived. Now that I’m striving to follow Kondo – surely, its time has come?
I hold it in my hand. There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. It’s literally falling apart. Will I ever wear it again? Not a chance. Does it feel good to wear? Does it bring me joy? Actually, yes. At this moment, my daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia (怀念) is the very reason.
I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.
4. What does the underlined word “discarded” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. adjusted B. reserved C. abandoned D. tidied
5. What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up?
A. To learn how to categorize. B. To improve his tidying skills.
C. To persuade his family members. D. To develop passion for minimalism.
6. What is the attitude of the author’s family members toward minimalism?
A. They don’t understand it. B. They completely support it.
C. They are strongly opposed to it. D. They are less passionate about it.
7. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Knowing when to let go B. Classifying what you love
C. Throwing worn-out clothes D. Keeping valuable possessions
【答案】4. C5. B6. D7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文中作者喜欢完全的极简主义风格，但家人并不支持他，为了提高整理技巧，作者去读了《改变生活的整理魔法》。在整理满地的衣服时，作者发现了难以舍弃的夹克衫，又把它放在了“保留”堆里。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. ”（说实话，我自己的整理技能并没有我想要的那么好。我的“discarded”堆从来都不是我想要的垃圾山，因为我为东西为什么有用找借口）可知，爱整理的作者，整理出来要扔弃的不是自己想要的垃圾山。故划线词意思是丢弃，近义词是abandoned。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I want to be better at moving on.”(我想更好地继续前进)以及第三段“So, this time I found help – the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love.”（所以，这次我找到了帮助——为像我这样的人准备的经典书籍:近藤麻理惠的《改变生活的整理魔法》。近藤对她的技艺的投入是惊人的。她的哲学是只保留自己喜欢的东西）可知，提高他的整理技巧是驱使作者去读《改变生活的整理魔法》。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games – ‘Do We Need It?’ and ‘Put It in Its Place’– and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine. ”（我喜欢扔掉东西。我喜欢完全的极简主义风格，但我的妻子和两个十几岁的孩子不喜欢我那种几乎什么都没有的房子的梦想。我已经试过了。当孩子们还小的时候，我教他们我最喜欢的两个游戏——“我们需要它吗?”和《放回原处》——每隔几个月就让他们演奏一次。他们的热情永远比不上我）可知，家人们对极简主义不那么有激情。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据最后一段“I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.”（我相信向前看，而不是向后看。然而，有时候放手是很难的。所以我轻轻地把夹克放在“保留”那一堆）可知，作者一直坚持极简主义风格，但是在整理过程中也遇到了难以取舍的物品，所以本文围绕着“在收纳过程中知道什么时候放手”的主题展开。“知道什么时候放手”适合做最佳标题。故选A。

“Mayday！We got Mayday！”Frank Pisano screamed over the micro-phone to the air control tower at John Wayne Airport last June．One of the two engines on his 1975 Cessna had failed，and he was now on a collision course with one of the busiest highways in America-Interstate 405，just south ofLos Angeles-and there was no stopping it．
Driving south on the 405，near the airport’s runway，was John Meffert．A fire department captain，Meffert，47，was heading home from his shift．Then a low-flying plane caught his eye．After he took a second glance，a thought crossed his mind: ”This plane’s going to hit me，”Meffert told Fox8．
He was right．The plane knocked into the center highway，popped up a few feet，and then hit the front of Meffert’s SUV．It finally stopped after hitting the divider on the southbound side．Meffertpulled over．He was unhurt，so he turned his attention to the plane．He ran toward the smoke billowing from it--and then he saw Frank’s wife，Janan Pisano，pop her head up on the passenger side．
By the time Meffert reached the aircraft，part of the fuselage(机身)was on fire and Janan，who was covered in blood，was on the wing trying to pull her husband from the wreck．Meffert，afraid the plane would explode，guided her to safety behind it．At this point，traffic had come to a stop，and two nurses jumped out of their cars to help lead Janan farther away as Meffert ran back for the pilot．
“I’m going to get you out．”Meffert said as he positioned himself under the pilot’s arms and carefully lifted him from the seat．He dragged the pilot off the wing and carried him to the side of the freeway to safety，where they watched flames swallow the plane．
Remarkably，Meffert’s car was the only one hit by the plane．Had Meffert been a second or two faster，Frank told the Orange County Register，the left propeller(螺旋桨)would have torn the top off his SUV and killed him．
“I play all the what-ifs-going slower，going faster．It could have been in a very different situation，”Meffert told Fox8．”We just had a lot of angels．”
24．What was the reason for the accident？
A．The plane hit a SUV． B．Frank was not a good pilot．
C．One of the engines didn’t work． D．The plane landed at a wrong place．
25．What damage did the plane do to Meffert？
A．It hit part of Meffert’s car． B．It set Meffert’s car on fire．
C．It caused Meffert covered in blood． D．It threw Meffert into the air．
26．Why did Meffert manage to carry the pilot out of the plane？
A．Because he knew how to perform first aid．
B．Because the plane couldn’t fly any more．
C．Because he didn’t want to cause a traffic jam．
D．Because the plane might explode．
27．How did Meffert feel about the outcome of the accident？
A．Nervous． B．Lucky． C．Sad． D．Excited
本文是记叙文。一驾飞机因引擎出故障坠落在高速公路上。正准备开车回家的Meffert差点被撞。他目睹了意外的全过程，并救出了困在飞机上的夫妻两人。
24．C细节理解题。根据文章第一段One of the two engines on his1975 Cessna had failed，and he was now on a collision course with one of the busiest highways in America-Interstate4O5，just south of Los Angeles-and there was no stopping it．可知事故的原因是其中一个引擎坏了。
25．A推理判断题。根据文章第三段The plane knocked into the center highwaypopped up a few feet，and then hit the front of Meffert’sSUV．飞机撞上了中央高速公路，弹起了几英尺，然后把Meffert的越野车的前部撞了一下。可知它撞到了车的一部分；故选A．
26．D细节理解题。根据文章第四段By the time Meffert reached the aircraft，part of the fuselage was on fire and Janan，who was covered in blood，was on the wing trying to pull her husband from the wreck．Meffert，afraid the plane would explode，guided her to safety behind it．当Meffert到达飞机时，机身的机身着火了，满身是血的Janan正在试图把她的丈夫从残骸中拉出来。Meffert担心飞机会爆炸，引导她到后面的安全地带。可知答案是D。
27．B推理判断题。根据文章最后一段”I play all the what-ifs一going slower，going faster．It could have been in a very different situation’“可知Meffer认为事故的结果是幸运的；故选B。

São Paulo is playing host to an unsustainable mountain of waste due to a general lack of participation in recycling properly. Mar ion Bernardi, a student from France, has proposed a neat way of getting kids in on the act of sorting domestic waste.
Mar ion registered for an art class in high school when she realised her love for creating objects. Entering for design studies at L’Ecole de Design Nantes Atlantique was a logical next step for her.

The ape keeps the topic exciting, using colourful cartoon characters in the form of drink cans, plastic bottles and banana peels with faces to give it a distinctive child-led look.
The Recicla Dia a Dia app is specially-designed to educate the user, so they know how to deal with most forms of recyclable plastic, glass, paper and metal items. It comes through the use of a “separator” an interactive guide on the ape, which informs the child about whether waste is dry recyclable or not, via a set of clear questions.
To progress in the contest and get rewards, the child must level up by gaining experience. Experience can be gained by bringing in bags of dry recyclables counted by the teacher and by completing weekly ‘Zero Waste’ challenge. Beyond education through play, Mar ion man ages to create a link between home and school and provide a global solution to a major issue.

Special boxes lie at the bottom of my locked filing cabinet. Deposited there are important letters and cards collected throughout my life, from my grandparents, school friends, parents, wife and son. Since the invention of e-mail though, they’ve been few and far between.
Tonight is New York’s Eve 2029 and there’s a very special box of letters I want to look at. But first there’s something I have to do – The Ritual（惯例）.
I go to my trusted computer and start. I begin to type: Dear ______. I leave the name blank for now, anticipating the thrill of typing it in. “I hope you are well and I wonder how this will find you. And you still planning to move to that villa in Portugal? Did your son marry Fiona? Is your mother still alive? Questions surge into my mind.
For the next two hours I sit writing. About what I’ve been doing for the last year, my failing health, my increasing wealth and sometime difficult marriage. Then about my goals and ambitions. Will he be interested? Do I climb Mt. Kilimanjaro? Do I get that novel published? the one that’s been rejected more times than I care to think about.
Finally, it’s finished.11:30 pm. I fill in the recipient’s name, print my letter, sign and address it and then seal it up with tape. I then delete the document and empty the trash folder – to avoid the possibility of temptation. That completes the ritual!
I walk over to my “special box”. It contains ten long, white, thick envelopes, all with the same handwriting. I place the one I have just written in at the back and take out the one at the front. It’s dated2019,and labeled “to be opened 31st December 2029”.
The cycle is finally complete! I open it, trembling with anticipation. I begin to read, my eyes tearing up a little as I do so. Throughout the last ten long, eventful years, of life, death, joy and heartbreak, it has been waiting patiently in this box for me, though I now have no memory of ever having written it.

Last month, I was sorting through an old box when I came across a time capsule, in purple and green floss(丝线). Faded(褪色的)and worm, it was a friendship bracelet(手链)—an important part of my teenage summers. Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood, which my kids will never know firsthand.
My handiwork wasn’t beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them. The experience was intoxicating; physical and concrete like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond. Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each other, at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.
I slept with my bracelets and showered with them. I wore them all summer long at camp. And I acquired new bracelets from friends there—friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return, as we said our tearful end-of-summer goodbyes. I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends. But now I see that they were really helping me to leave behind childhood.
My kids don’t go to summer camp. They certainly don’t exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends. They hang out on Discord(一种聊天软件)in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets, and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces. There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.
4. Why does the author associate a bracelet with a time capsule?
A. It is faded and worn. B. It reminds her of her childhood.
C. It is shaped like a capsule. D. It was made by the author herself.
5What does the underlined word “intoxicating” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Professional. B. Temporary. C. Exciting. D. Strange.
6. Why does the author think her kids’ childhood is different from hers?
A. They make more friends at summer camp. B. They spend too much time on their cellphones.
C. They are unwilling to give bracelets to parents. D. They often send hand-made gifts to their friends.
7. What can be inferred about the friendship bracelets?
A. They proved the author’s kids had much to physically hold onto.
B. They represented both the author and her kids’ unforgettable childhood.
C. They gave meaning to the author’s childhood in a way her kids will never know.
D. They recalled the author’s deep sorrow of leaving close friends at summer camp.
【答案】4. B5. C6. B7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者发现了一条手链，让她回想起童年和朋友们交换礼物，也感叹如今手机等电子设备的出现，孩子们沉浸于虚拟世界，聊天软件，而失去了这种交流的方式。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“an important part of my teenage summers(这是我十几岁的夏日里很重要的一部分)”可知，这串手链与作者童年的夏天有着重要的联系，所以把手链与时间胶囊联系起来正是因为手链让作者想到了自己童年的夏天。故选B。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面“My handiwork wasn’t beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them. (我的手艺不漂亮。但我记得的是礼物的美妙之处：把一些东西塞进朋友的手里，并知道它将永远与她们在一起。)”可知，作者的手工艺品并不是很美，但是当把它送给朋友时意义变得深刻。所以这些回忆应该是很美好的，那么这里也需要选择一个褒义词，C选项exciting意为“令人激动的，令人兴奋的”与划线词对应。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“They hang out on Discord(一种聊天软件)in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.(他们在Discord上聊天，聊天只会暂停，但永远不会结束。我们的大儿子不停地在手机上发短信，他和朋友们互相制作聊天表情包和抖音视频。)”可知，作者认为与以前不同的是现在的孩子们花太多的时间在手机上。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.(数年后，再也不会有一箱箱的信件需要分类，也不会有隐藏的手链需要找到。他们将没有什么可以真正依靠的东西。)”可知，代表友谊的手链只有作者有，她的孩子没有。作者提到了手链让她想起了美妙的童年生活，而这种感受当今的孩子们是无法体会的，因为他们大多数沉浸在虚拟世界。这些手链以一种她的孩子们永远不会知道的方式赋予了作者童年的意义。故选C。

In 1939, seven-year-old Miriam Schreiber should have started first grade. Instead, she spent that year — and the following five — trying to survive. She was living in Poland when World War II broke out. “My entire life was ruined within minutes,” she says. “I was looking forward to starting school.”She never made it. And not having a degree has always been a thorn in her side.
Decades later, though, the now-89-year-old Holocaust survivor finally got something she had always longed for. Kapiloff Brander, director of community programs at Jewish Family Services, reached out to theNew England Jewish Academy, a Jewish high school, to ask whether the school could help Mariam fulfill her wish. Richard Nabel, the principal of the school, brought a few senior students to Miriam’s home to hear her story before they came up with the idea of presenting her an honorary diploma at the school’s 2020 graduation ceremony.

She and her remaining family members went to a refugee camp in Germany, where she got married and had her first child at the age of 16.

Like many other five-year-olds, Jeanie Low of Houston, Texas, would use a stool (凳子) to help her reach the bathroom sink. However, the plastic step-stool she had at home was unstable and cluttered up the small bathroom shared by her whole family. After learning of an invention contest held by her school that year, Jeanie resolved to enter the contest by creating a stool that would be a permanent fixture in the bathroom, and yet could be kept out of the way when not in use.
Jeanie decided to make a stool attached to the bathroom cabinet door under the sink. She cut a board of wood into two pieces, each about two feet wide and one foot long. Using metal hinges (铰链) Jeanie attached one piece of the wood to the front of the cabinet door, and the second piece to the first. The first piece was set just high enough so that when it swung out horizontally from the cabinet door, the second piece would swing down from the first, just touching the ground, and so serving as a support for the first piece of the wood. This created a convenient, strong platform for any person too short to reach the sink. When not in use, the hinges allowed the two pieces of wood to fold back up tightly against the cabinet, where they were held in place by magnets. Jeanie called her invention the “Kiddie Stool”.
Jeanie’s Kiddie Stool won first place in her school’s contest. Two years later, it was awarded first prize again at Houston’s first annual Invention Fair. As a result, Jeanie was invited to make a number of public appearances with her Kiddie Stool, and was featured on local TV as well as in newspapers. Many people found the story of the Kiddie Stool inspiring because it showed that with imagination, anyone can be an inventor.
4. Why did Jeanie Low invent the Kiddie Stool, according to the passage?
A. Many other five-year-olds had problems reaching the bathroom sink.

Making beers on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many, but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth’s surface.
The Lab2Moon competition, held by TeamIndus, is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year.
Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether it’s possible for yeast(酵母)to work and create beer on the moon. However, they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, it’s also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing food, like bread.
“The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends,” said Neeki Ashari, a fifth-year bioengineering students at UC San Diego. “We all appreciate the craft beer, and we were excited to learn that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on India’s moonlander, we thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality of yeast in outer space.”
The preparation work for the beer-up to the stage of adding yeast-will all be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation (发酵)and carbonation stage of making beer, the team plans to combine them.
This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.
If selected, Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space, and the fermentation will take place in a container no bigger than a soda can.
All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India, in March.
Sadly, you won’t be enjoying moon beer in you local craft beer bar anytime soon, as no samples will be brought back. However, this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables(消耗品) behave in different environments.
4. How did the students feel when they heard of the chance to design the experiment?
A. Confident. B. Nervous.
C. Thrilled. D. Casual.
5. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. Adding yeast on Earth. B. The mixing of two stages.
C. The preparation work on Earth. D. Fermentation and carbonation.
6. What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?
A. It has been designed based on similar experiments.
B. It’s quite competitive compared with other designs.
C. Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener.
D. Its design has already been approved by TeamIndus.
7. What does the author think of the students’ idea?
A. It seems like a pipe dream. B. It’s extremely complicated.
C. It’s creative but impractical. D. It’s meaningful and hopeful.
【答案】4. C5. B6. C7. D

When I set down a cup of soup in front of one of “The Party”, she glanced down at it, and then frowned. “Hannah, I asked for a half cup of soup,” she said, sounding angrily, “You are always so slow. I don’t know how you always mess up our orders.”
I politely mumbled an apology. It was only a cup of soup, and an honest mistake, but I felt like such a disaster.
The residents at the high-end senior living community, where I served as a waitress in the cafeteria, expected nothing less than a five-star dining experience and my small mistake was not to be tolerated.
When I first started working there, I was already shy and couldn’t stand the idea that someone didn’t like me. Early on, when residents would scold or criticize me with or without reasons, I felt like crawling under a rock.
The most difficult guests by far were a group of six women who the servers nicknamed “The Party.” At first, they seemed friendly. But the truth is that they were rude and demanding. I would leave the dining room exhausted almost every night after serving them.
Somehow those rough nights started to change me to become more outgoing and self-assured. The residents gradually depend on me and my “convinced” smile. I used to have trouble speaking in front of a group and would be shy when I did. Now, I have no problem walking up to a table of fourteen people and making conversation as if I had known them my whole life.
I give credit to “The Party” for putting me in a situation where I had no choice but to smile and carry on. Today, when I see “The Party”, I still flinch a little inside, but then I pull back my shoulders, lift my chin and march up to them ask, “What’s it going to be today, ladies?”
4. What do we know about the residents?
A. They are very picky about services.
B. They all enjoy having meals in groups.
C. They all behave nicely and reasonably.
D. They all find favors in the eyes of the servers.
5. Which is the quality the author possesses now?
A. Shyness. B. Confidence.
C. Selfishness. D. Indifference.
6. What does the underline word “flinch” mean?
A. take in. B. beat up.
C. cheer up. D. draw back.
7. What moral lesson can we take from this story?
A. Where there is a will, there is a way.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
D. With great power comes great responsibility.

【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词下文but then I pull back my shoulders, lift my chin and march up to them ask, “What’s it going to be today, ladies?”（但是之后我腰背挺直，抬起下巴，到她们跟前问道，“女士们，今天怎么样，喝点什么？”）中的but可知，上下文意思相反，即面对这些挑剔苛求的女士，作者仍然想退缩，远离她们。由此可知，划线词意为“退缩”，与draw back意思相近。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“ Early on, when residents would scold or criticize me with or without reasons, I felt like crawling under a rock.”（早些时候，当住户责备或者批评我时，无论是有理由还是没有源由，我都想要钻到石头底下）第五段“But the truth is that they were rude and demanding. I would leave the dining room exhausted almost every night after serving them.”（但是事实是她们非常粗鲁和苛刻。几乎每个晚上服务完她们之后，离开餐厅时我都是身心俱疲）和第六段“Now, I have no problem walking up to a table of fourteen people and making conversation as if I had known them my whole life.”（现在，我能轻易地走到坐了14人的餐桌旁，和客人聊天，好像我跟她们非常熟）可知，作者作为一名餐厅服务员，在面对苛求的顾客时，艰难的从害羞，退缩，胆小到现在蜕变成了一个强大，冷静，喜怒不形于色的人。由此推知，我们可以从这个故事中学到“杀不死你的终使你强大”。故选C项。

It was my first year of teaching, and I was sinking. I could not get my middle school students to sit down and pay attention, I felt frustrated that I couldn’t act them to remember what I had just taught the day before; yet, they could easily remember every word of a mew rap song on the radio. Of course, the other problem with this was that they came in each day singing about violence, depression and drug use, which frustrated me even more.
And then, one afternoon, instead of turning off their radios, I decided to offer them a different station. I went home, and made up a rap song about the math concepts they were learning at the time, called “The Itty Betty Dot”. I practiced it all night. Early the next morning, when my class came in, I performed it for them,

Later that day, I went to lunch with slow heavy steps like a big loser. And then it happened. As I walked by the lunch tables, I heard the students were singing my song!
The next day, they eagerly ran into my classroom, saying things like, “Mr. Kajitani, are you going to rap again? Yesterday was the best day ever in the math class!” From that moment on, everything changed. I had connected with my students on their level, using the language they understood to get across what I was trying to teach. By changing my approach, I got them excited to come to school.

【17】湖南省长沙市雅礼中学2022-2023学年高三上学期月考二
British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work---The Underwater Museum of Cannes.
“The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen. “Ocean ecologies have been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”
The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.
Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.
“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”
4. What are the underwater museums intended to do?
A. To make huge profits. B. To raise awareness of protecting the ocean.
C. To show Jason Taylor’s talent. D. To draw attention to endangered sea animals.
5. Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask?
A. To popularize the features of the locals.
B. To remind people to protect themselves.
C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.
D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.
6. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How the project was started. B. How the seagrass was restored.
C. What recovery effort the project made. D. Why the surroundings were improved.
7. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?
A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.
B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.
C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.
D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.
【答案】4. B5. D6. C7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Taylor创建水下博物馆的初衷以及该项目所造成的积极影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen.”（Taylor告诉Dezeen记者:“我们的主要目标是让人们注意到我们的海洋需要我们的帮助。”）可知水下博物馆旨在提高人们保护海洋的意识。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.”（这些脸有6英尺高，重达10吨，被分成两部分，外部部分像一个面具。这幅面具表明，从表面上看，世界上的海洋似乎强大而不可战胜，但它的生态系统对于粗心大意的人类活动来说极其脆弱）可知雕塑的外部看起来像一个面具是为了强调生态系统的敏感性。故选D。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.”（虽然雕塑周围的水域现在呈现出一种纯净的蓝色，但当该项目大约四年前开始时，海底充满了旧的船只引擎、管道和其他人造垃圾。除了清理垃圾，泰勒还恢复了该地区的海草。仅仅一平方米的海草每天就能产生多达10升的氧气。海草还有助于防止海岸侵蚀，并为许多海洋生物提供栖息地）可知第四段主要讲了项目做出了哪些恢复努力。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.””（Taylor告诉Dezeen的记者:“创建水下博物馆的想法是为了吸引更多的人在水下，并培养一种关心和保护的意识。”“如果我们在森林附近扔垃圾，会引起公众的强烈抗议。但这种情况每天都在我们周围的水域发生，而且很大程度上被忽视了。”）可推断出海洋的情况很容易被忽视。故选A。

Growing up in rural Jiangsu Province, Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on his own for years. His hard work paid off later. In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic zeal for gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an artistic way with intense color.
After graduation from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional career at the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu. He has since published a series of art collections. Since 1959, Yu has contributed a series of works to many important sites. Yu’s works have also been displayed in a range of national and international exhibitions. From 1986 to 1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistic techniques have won widespread praise in the past years.
While observing traditional rules, he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature. Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through his brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings.” Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork.
Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style. In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China. “Art is part of my life,” Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird painter. I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts.”

【19】2022届黑龙江省佳木斯市第一中学高三第三次模拟
As children, we dream of growing older; when we are older, we dream of being children. We let our lives pass us by because we have yet to learn that the harder you yearn for time, the faster it passes. This is how my story begins.
In October of my freshman year, I took an accidental trip down memory lane. One day after school, I decided to take the long way home. I needed time to think. So off I went, walking through the grass. That was how I came to find a gap in the fence lining the school property. I passed through this gap and followed the treeline until I found myself in the far fields behind the neighborhood.
Suddenly, I remembered it was here through the fence between the school and the fields that I watched older kids having their high school graduation ceremony. In cap and gown (长袍), they stood in the middle of the field. They looked like they were having the most fun I had ever seen anyone have; they looked free.
Years later, I walked through that field on my way home from that same high school. I’ve since given this place a name, Tempus Illud, a place between places. I try to take the long way home at least once a month now. Sometimes, when I cross that bridge, I see that younger version of myself. She is so young and so desperate to speed up time. I see her peering through the fence at those graduates in the cap and gown, and she’s wishing she could be just like them. She, too, could feel so free that she might just grow wings and fly away. Now I’m preparing to wear the cap and gown in a few short months. But this time, I wish to leave time to its own devices.
The harder you yearn for time, the faster it passes you by. So I no longer yearn. The passage of time is inevitable, and you can’t avoid it, but you can appreciate it. James Taylor sings, “ The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time. Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill, but since we’re on our way down, we might as well enjoy the ride.”
4. How did the author feel when she saw the older kids’ graduation ceremony?
A. Admiring. B. Curious. C. Jealous. D. Unconcerned.
5. What is the significance of Tempus Illud to the author?
A. It honors her best childhood memory.
B. It shows the miracle of frozen time.

【20】2023届广西南宁市第三中学高三上学期第一次适应性考试
Bournemouth in Dorset has always been my favourite seaside town. When I was growing up, Mum and Dad didn’t have much money, but they’d saved enough for a few days in Bournemouth. I was four years old at the time. I don’t actually remember much about the trip, apart from being devastated when we had to leave. Mum said I fell in love with the place and insisted on waving goodbye to the sea when it was time to go. So I grew up believing Bournemouth was a wonderful place.
Forty years on, my wife and I returned for a week’s break. I was nervous, wondering if I’d be able to bring back that delight I’d felt as a child. I needn’t have worried. We had a fantastic time. It helped that the British weather had decided to provide us with high temperatures and plenty of sun. But it was Bournemouth that kept me spellbound, making me feel like a child again.
Bournemouth and its neighbour Boscombe, are always busy, alive with chatter, music and other lively sounds. But as we stepped into Boscombe Chine Gardens, all the noise faded away. A sense of peace spread through us as we meandered along the paths, delighting in the squirrels climbing up and down the trees and the bright colours of the pretty plants.
One morning, we made a short trip to Poole Quay and took the ferry to Brownsea Island. Owned by the National Trust, it’s a feast for the eyes, from its mock Tudor entrance, to the many peacocks walking around, to the magnificent views of the sun sparkling on the shining waters and boats bobbing up and down, seen from the island’s highest point.
Before we knew it, it was time to return home—but not before waving goodbye to the sea.

9. What made the author feel nervous?
A. The fear of losing childhood memories.
B. The adjustment to the new circumstances.

A. It boasts seaside views. B. It belongs to wild animals.
C. It is free of the town’s noise. D. It reminds him of his childhood.
