Ⅰ.阅读理解

[2021·成都市毕业班第二次诊断检测]People often ask how I decide where to go, and I usually get hesitated with my response, as I don't actually have an answer to that. For more than three years, I have been making movements with the universe, traveling from one location to another at seemingly random intervals.

A friend of mine posted a message online asking if anybody was interested in a job teaching English in China. So I jumped on a coming plane. Walking into my first class, I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldn't understand a single word out of my mouth. When I walked out of my last class, six months later, I had made a personal connection with them. Some of my students could barely speak Chinese or English. But somehow, through determination and force, we were connected.

Every class was not only a lesson in English, but in good fellowship, being a role model, being a parent, and being a friend. I became a father to some, an older brother to others. I was loved and adored, feared and hated. I had to learn discipline, and not only how to deal it out, but how to discipline and conduct myself as a role model. But in between the discipline, I had to make learning a fun experience. And they forgave me when I yelled or got upset. And when they lost their tempers or bruised their knees or missed their mommies, I forgave them, kissed their bruises better, and gave them a shoulder to cry on.

Teaching English in China is, by far, the most emotionally rewarding and fulfilling thing I've ever challenged myself to do. I have walked away from this job with a softened heart, knowing that I have made a difference in so many lives. I want that. I want my teaching to be reciprocal because they taught me how to unconditionally open my heart and how to be a more loving and patient person.

1．What can we learn about the writer before he came to China?

A．He didn't have a fixed job.

B．He was a professional writer.

C．He worked in a travel agency.

D．He taught in a language school.

2．What was the situation like when the author met his students for the first time?

A．Hard.　　　B．Exciting.  C．Touching.  D．Inspiring.

3．What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3?

A．He was casual and patient.

B．He was responsible but sensitive.

C．He was cautious but bad­tempered.

D．He was self­reflective and considerate.

4．What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A．Beneficial.  B．Interacted.   C．Encouraging.  D．Acceptable.

[2021·潍坊市高考模拟]Deep in the forest, my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the downed trees that blocked the dirt path before us. It was May, yet we walked up a snow­covered hill. When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees, it did not dampen our spirits. Not once did we say, “Let's turn around.” This was our vacation, and we were on an adventure. Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.

 The trail was marked as an easy one­kilometer hike, yet we were already walking a long distance. Our lightheartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it. As my eyes scanned the surroundings, nothing looked familiar. My heart raced. I realized we were lost in a national park that did not officially open for another week.

Usually, I am the calm one in the relationship, but my husband surprised me with his calmness. This did not comfort me; in fact, it heightened my fear. As we walked, I asked my husband to call for help, but there was no cell phone signal in this isolated (偏僻的) area.

 It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road, and my heavy breathing. My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower. With each step on the road, my feet and thighs hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.

My vision sharpened. I noticed everything around me: the trees, rocks and snow. I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water. For the first time in my life, I was ready and willing to get a ride, but we did not find a single car on the road. We focused on each other, made joint decisions and connected through gratitude. We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式作答。

My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.

【能力提升】

Ⅰ.阅读理解

1．A　考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“For more than three years, I have been...seemingly random intervals.”可以推断，作者在来中国之前并没有稳定的工作，故A项正确。

2．A　考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Walking into my first class, I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldn't understand a single word out of my mouth.”可推知，作者第一次见到学生时，情况是很艰难的，故选A。touching意为“动人的，令人同情的”；inspiring意为“鼓舞人心的”。

3．D　考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“I had to learn discipline, and not only how to deal it out, but how to discipline and conduct myself as a role model.”可推知，作者善于自我反思，并结合“I forgave them, kissed their bruises better, and gave them a shoulder to cry on.”可推知，作者是体贴的，故选D。

4．B　考查词义猜测。本句是一个主从复合句，根据原因状语从句“because they taught me how to unconditionally open my heart and how to be a more loving and patient person.”可知，因为作者的学生教会了他如何无条件地敞开心扉，如何成为一个更有爱心、更有耐心的人，所以他希望自己从事的教学工作是互惠的(自己和学生都有所收获)，B项的含义与画线词的含义最为接近，故选B。

Ⅱ.完形填空

1．C　根据上下文推测，作者的姐姐患有脑瘫，需要借助拐杖行走，经常会有人盯着她看(stare)并指指点点。

2．A　根据上文可知，因为姐姐脑瘫，作者她们交不到任何朋友，所以作者开始讨厌(hate)姐姐。

3．D　因为作者讨厌姐姐，所以她竭尽所能地去报复姐姐。get back at sb.“向某人报复”符合语境。put up with“容忍，忍受”；make use of“利用”；keep track of“与……保持联系”。

4．B　当作者十二岁时，妈妈对其行为非常不满，她认为作者年龄足够大，能知道是非。故选old。

5．B　由上下文可知，妈妈给作者的那本厚厚的书饱含姐姐的深情，从而改变了作者对残疾姐姐的看法。

6．A　由下文第四段中的“One picture stood out”可知选A。

7．D　由下文给出的对比可知，作者和姐姐唯一不同之处(difference)是：作者看起来很小和安静，而姐姐被接上了管子、针管和医疗机器。

8．C　由后面的转折(虽然她总是微笑)可推知，你仔细看的话可以看出她眼中的痛苦(pain)。因为姐姐正在治疗，所以会疼痛。

9．A　根据下文中的“hugged her __13__ like in the picture”可知选A。

10．C　由语境可知，空处与cry对应，故选C。

11．B　回首过去作者对姐姐的种种不好，作者意识到自己非常的自私。下文的“I had never put myself in Dawn's shoes.”也是提示。selfish“自私的”。

12．D　作者此时幡然悔悟，此前对姐姐太无情，所以感到非常羞愧(ashamed)。

13．C　作者亲吻了姐姐，并且像照片里一样紧紧地拥抱了姐姐。

14．A　由下文作者提到的不让任何人以任何理由去伤害姐姐可知，作者成了姐姐的保护人(protector)。

15．D　由下文提到的作者是姐姐的另一半，姐姐是作者的世界可知，作者和姐姐是不可分离的(inseparable)。

Ⅲ.读后续写

参考范文：

My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance. In no time did we find ourselves heading for it. We were filled with hope and excitement to find such a building in the middle of nowhere. We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone. As we approached, a sign came into sight, which read: Administration Office. However, it was not open for business. The empty hall made us nervous all at once. We stood there hopelessly, wondering what to do next.

Just then, a friendly woman appeared, saying, “Hello.” I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted out, “We're lost！” She comforted us and opened a room for us to take a break. Seeing we were cold and hungry, she treated us to hot chocolate. After studying the map, we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometers away. She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly. I felt relieved to see our rental car again. What a blessing to have such an unforgettable experience!
