Top Exhibitions to See in London in 2023
Architectural: Vanishing Points
While we like to think of architecture existing purely in the real world, emerging designers and architects are using platforms like Instagram to create structures in the virtual world. This collection of works, which range from the practical to the fantastical, are all by architects who have gathered significant social media followings.
In the Digital Universe at ROCA London. 8 February—31 July, free.
Flowery: Orchids
This annual festival is back in bloom (开花), this time inspired by the beauty and biodiversity of Cameroon. Just like previous years, the orchids are spread throughout the various zones of the Princess of Wales conservatory and accompanied by sculptures that are just as colourful as the flowers on display.
At Kew Gardens. 4 February —5 March, &16.50—entrance to the gardens included.
Female Abstraction: Action, Gesture, Paint
Art history has often shone a light on the men of Abstract Expressionism, such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Well, now’s the time to let the most important women of the movement take the limelight in an exhibition that includes works by American artists such as Lee Krasner and Helen Frankenthaler, but spreads the net wider to include the female abstract artists from Europe, Asia and the wider world, with whom most of us will be unfamiliar.
At Whitechapel Gallery. 9 February—7 May, £ 16.50—concessions available.
Powerful Portraits (肖像): Alice Neel
The largest UK exhibition to date of American painter Alice Neel’s work will bring together her figurative pieces from across her 60-year career. Neel went against the popular grain by painting figures when abstract works were most popular, and she painted subjects that other artists ignored — pregnant women, labour leaders, black children, civil rights activists and strange performers. It’s high time we had a major show of her work in London, and the Barbican has duly provided.
At Barbican Art Gallery. 16 February—21 May, & 18.
21.Which of the following exhibitions is held once a year?
A.Flowery: Orchids.
B.Powerful Portraits: Alice Neel.
C.Architectural: Vanishing Points.
D.Female Abstraction: Action, Gesture, Paint.
22.When can visitors appreciate Lee Krasner’s works?
A.On February 8. B.On January 7. C.On April 7. D.On May 8.
23.What can we learn about the artist Alice Neel?
A.She is 60 years old now.
B.Her works didn’t follow the trend.
C.She often ignored some common subjects.
D.She is the most popular American painter in the UK.
【答案】21.A 22.C 23.B
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了2023年伦敦最值得一看的展览。
21.细节理解题。根据第二个小标题部分“This annual festival is back in bloom (开花), this time inspired by the beauty and biodiversity of Cameroon.(这个一年一度的节日又重新开花了,这次的灵感来自喀麦隆的美丽和生物多样性)”可知,Flowery: Orchids是一年一次的。故选A。
22.细节理解题。根据第三个小标题部分“Well, now’s the time to let the most important women of the movement take the limelight in an exhibition that includes works by American artists such as Lee Krasner and Helen Frankenthaler, but spreads the net wider to include the female abstract artists from Europe, Asia and the wider world, with whom most of us will be unfamiliar.(好吧,现在是时候让这个运动中最重要的女性在一个展览中成为人们关注的焦点了,这个展览包括了Lee Krasner和Helen Frankenthaler等美国艺术家的作品,但把网撒得更广,包括来自欧洲、亚洲和更广阔世界的女性抽象艺术家,我们大多数人都不熟悉她们)”和“9 February—7 May(2月9日至5月7日)”可知,游客4月7日可以欣赏李·克拉斯纳的作品。故选C。
23.细节理解题。根据最后一个小标题部分“Neel went against the popular grain by painting figures when abstract works were most popular, and she painted subjects that other artists ignored — pregnant women, labour leaders, black children, civil rights activists and strange performers.(在抽象作品最流行的时候,Neel却逆潮流而动,画人物,她画的对象是其他艺术家所忽视的——孕妇、劳工领袖、黑人儿童、民权活动家和奇怪的表演者)”可知,Alice Neel不追随潮流。故选B。
B
There’s another universe not far from land. It lacks buildings, trees, cars, cellphones and the Internet. Seemingly limitless water extends uninterruptedly in all directions. Civilization goes away, along with any sign of humanity. And it is why I’m really into sailing. I grew up around boats. My father liked sailing and built them. My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week.
As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham's book, Dove. However, it wasn't until about 20 years ago, well into my adulthood, that I took up sailing in a serious way. I've made voyages in fair stormy and weather, on my own boats and those of my friends, and ranging from nearshore day sails to blue-water passages.
Still, I've made plenty of mistakes. While living in Asia, a sailing friend and I set off across the South China Sea and intended to get to Thailand, only to be pushed by a late-season typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam, glad to be alive.
Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our 37-foot ship, Symbiosis, while we saved enough to take a two-year leave from our jobs to journey down the U.S. Atlantic coast and through the Bahamas and the Caribbean. We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm(舵柄) of a small boat. But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, resolving instead to sail only “other people's boats”. It didn't last, though. A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat—easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys. I think we'll name her Talisman.
24.What would the author do on summer weekends as a kid?
A.He would help his father build Talisman.
B.He would sail with his father and his sister.
C.He would explore northeast Indiana in a car.
D.He would bring human civilization to sailing.
25.What can we learn about the book Dove?
A.It has something to do with exploring the sea.
B.It was published in National Geographic.
C.It is the most famous work by Graham.
D.It was an inspiration for the author's writing.
26.Why did the author sell his ship Symbiosis?
A.It didn’t function well. B.He couldn’t afford to maintain it.
C.He found a better one to replace it. D.It was damaged seriously during a storm.
27.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A.To show his passion for sailing boats.
B.To stress the influence of adventures on him.
C.To discuss the problems of sailing on the sea.
D.To share his success in exploring the world.
【答案】24.B 25.A 26.B 27.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己对航海的热爱。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段的“My father liked sailing and built them. My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio… through the week(我父亲喜欢帆船,于是造了它们。几乎每个夏天的周末,我和妹妹都被塞进一辆车里,从印第安纳州东北部前往俄亥俄州的伊利湖南岸,父亲制造的Talisman在那里耐心地等待了整整一个星期。)”可知,作者小时候会在夏天的周末与父亲和妹妹一起航海。故选B。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段的“As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham's book, Dove.( 小时候,我读过《国家地理》杂志上的罗宾·李·格雷厄姆的冒险故事,他是一位独自探索海洋的旅行者,后来又读过格雷厄姆的书《鸽子》。)”可推断,这本书与海上探索有关。故选A。
26.细节理解题。根据最后一段的“But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, resolving instead to sail only ‘other people’s boats’.(但船既昂贵又费时。几年前从加勒比海回来后,我们决定卖掉Symbiosis,决定只驾驶“别人的船”。)”可知,Symbiosis是昂贵的,也是耗时的。由此可知,作者付不起保养的钱。故选B。
27.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“And it is why I’m really into sailing.(这就是我喜欢航海的原因。)”和下文的描述可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是通过记叙自己的过往,展现出对航海的激情。故选A。

A
I’ve consulted several travel experts and found out the top places in the USA worth visiting.
Where: New Orleans, Louisiana
Why: New Orleans is known for its music and food scene—not to mention the festivals.
It has about 130 festivals each year so there’s really no bad time to visit. Bourbon Street is the obvious choice for food, drink and jazz and it’s definitely a mustvisit location, especially for firsttimers to the city.
Where: Vail, Colorado
Why: Vail is the perfect destination for travelers looking to find almost everything in one central spot. Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to be steps away from Vail Village, a popular spot with cobblestone (鹅卵石) streets for wandering leisurely. The country’s largest free transportation system runs frequently, making it easy to access almost anywhere from Vail Village to Lionshead Village.
Where: Hudson Valley, New York
Why: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city’s noises when they need a healthy treatment of nature and relaxation. Just an hour and a half drive north of New York City, the Hudson Valley is made up of small, impossibly charming towns, where the air is fresher and things do move slower in the mountains.
1.What is New Orleans famous for?
A.Various festivals. B.Musical instruments.
C.Natural scenery. D.Food processors.
2.Which place would you prefer if you like walking leisurely around?
A.Bourbon Street. B.Vail Village.
C.Lionshead Village. D.New Orleans.
3.What can New Yorkers enjoy in the Hudson Valley?
A.Ancient towns. B.Healthy diets.
C.Bird watching. D.Inner peace.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要讲述了美国值得一游的三个地方。
1.细节理解题。根据小标题Where: New Orleans, Louisiana中“Why: New Orleans is known for its music and food scene—not to mention the festivals. It has about 130 festivals each year so there’s really no bad time to visit. (新奥尔良以其音乐和美食闻名,更不用说节日了。每年举办约130个节日,这使得它成为游客体验和享受各种节日的好地方。)”可知,新奥尔良以各种节日而闻名。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据小标题Where: Vail, Colorado中“Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to be steps away from Vail Village, a popular spot with cobblestone (鹅卵石) streets for wandering leisurely. (入住令人惊叹的韦尔四季度假村及公寓,距离韦尔村仅几步之遥,韦尔村是鹅卵石街道的热门去处,适合悠闲漫步。)”可知,Vail Village为一个适合漫步的热门景点。故选B项。
3.细节理解题。根据小标题Where: Hudson Valley, New York中“Why: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city’s noises when they need a healthy treatment of nature and relaxation. Just an hour and a half drive north of New York City, the Hudson Valley is made up of small, impossibly charming towns, where the air is fresher and things do move slower in the mountains. (原因:哈德逊河谷是纽约人需要健康对待自然和放松的地方,可以避开城市的喧嚣。哈德逊河谷位于纽约市以北仅一个半小时的车程,由迷人的小城镇组成,那里的空气更清新,山上的东西确实变慢了。)”可知,哈德逊河谷是纽约人逃离城市喧嚣时寻找自然和放松的好地方。迷人的小镇和新鲜的空气也有助于放慢生活的节奏,这有助于实现内心平静。故选D项。

Cory, aged 30, was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (脊髓性肌萎缩症)at a very young age. Because of his condition, he began using a wheelchair at age 4. His mother, Sandy Gilbreath, raised him as a single parent. Although taking care of a child with a disability was challenging, she ensured that Cory didn't miss out on the fun things in life. Sandy took him on road trips during summer breaks throughout his childhood. The exciting experiences of exploring new places inspired him to set a lifelong goal of visiting all seven continents.
Fortunately, Cory was able to do that just before the COVID-19 started. He and his mother traveled to Antarctica in February, just before the borders closed. It was the seventh and final continent off his list. He became the first-ever wheelchair user to visit all the seven continents!
According to Cory, traveling in a wheelchair requires a wide range of planning and research. He starts his research six to twelve months before each trip, making sure that there are accessible transportation options in the location. He would also call up hotels or rental homes to confirm if they are truly as accessible as they claim to be.
When Cory started going on adventures, there weren't many online resources discussing accessible travel. To help other travelers with disabilities explore the world as he does, he decided to share his knowledge in his blog. Aiming to promote representation of the wheelchair-using community, Cory and his mother wrote a children's book, titled Let's Explore with Cor Cor, which is about a boy who travels around the world in his powered wheelchair.
Traveling to all seven continents wasn't something I was sure was going to be possible," he said. "But if you stay determined and keep a positive attitude, the opportunities are limitless."
4.What made Cory Lee decide to visit all seven continents?
A.His mother's expectation.
B.His travelling experiences.
C.His dream of helping others.
D.His objective of making a history.
5.What worries Cory most about a trip?
A.Rental fees.
B.Local attractions.
C.Accommodation.
D.Transportation.
6.Why did Cory and his mother write the book?
A.To enrich online resources.
B.To record travelling events.
C.To help people with special needs.
D.To introduce wheelchair adventures.
7.What can we learn from Cory's story?
A.Nothing can prevent a determined heart.
B.Disability can turn into an opportunity,
C.Travelling shapes a positive attitude.
D.Mom is the creator of children's dreams.
【答案】4.B 5.D 6.C 7.A
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了,从小被诊断为脊髓性肌萎缩症的科里在妈妈的爱护下坐轮椅游览了七大洲,他决定在博客上分享他的旅行知识,帮助其他残疾旅行者像他一样探索世界。
4.细节理解题。由第一段中的“Sandy took him on road trips during summer breaks throughout his childhood. The exciting experiences of exploring new places inspired him to set a lifelong goal of visiting all seven continents.”(桑迪(妈妈)在他童年的暑假里带他去公路旅行。探索新地方的激动人心的经历激励他树立了一个终生的目标:游览所有七大洲。),可知是科里童年时,妈妈带他去公路旅行的经历让他下定决心访问所有七大洲。故选B项。
5.推理判断题。由第三段中的“According to Cory, traveling in a wheelchair requires a wide range of planning and research. He starts his research six to twelve months before each trip, making sure that there are accessible transportation options in the location.”(科里认为,坐轮椅旅行需要进行广泛的规划和研究。他在每次旅行前的六到十二个月开始他的研究,确保在这个地方有方便的交通选择。),可知科里因为身体原因要坐轮椅旅行,所以在每次旅行前他研究要去的地方有没有方便的交通选择,可得出科里旅行时最担心的是交通问题。故选D项。
6.细节理解题。由第四段中的“Aiming to promote representation of the wheelchair-using community, Cory and his mother wrote a children's book, titled Let's Explore with Cor Cor, which is about a boy who travels around the world in his powered wheelchair.”(为了促进轮椅使用社区的代表性,科里和他的母亲写了一本儿童读物,名为《让我们和Cor Cor一起探索》,这本书讲述了一个男孩坐着电动轮椅环游世界的故事。),可知是为了促进轮椅使用社区的代表性,即为了帮助有特殊需要的人(坐轮椅的人),科里和他妈妈才写书分享经历的。故选C项。
7.推理判断题。由第一段中的“Cory, aged 30, was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (脊髓性肌萎缩症)at a very young age. Because of his condition, he began using a wheelchair at age 4.”(科里今年30岁,在很小的时候就被诊断为脊髓性肌萎缩症。因为他的身体状况,他从4岁开始使用轮椅。),第二段中的“He became the first-ever wheelchair user to visit all the seven continents!”(他成为有史以来第一个访问所有七大洲的轮椅使用者!)和最后一段“Traveling to all seven continents wasn't something I was sure was going to be possible," he said. "But if you stay determined and keep a positive attitude, the opportunities are limitless."”(他说:“去所有七大洲旅行并不是我能确定的事。”但如果你保持坚定和积极的态度,机会是无限的。”),可知科里从小坐轮椅,但因为保持着坚定和积极的态度,他才能完成游览所有七大洲的目标,可得出即使残疾,坚定的心也能帮助人们实现梦想,所以没有什么能阻止一颗坚定的心。故选A项。

Beth Booker of Florida, turned to Twitter for help last week after seeing the images of her 78-year-old grandmother’s home in Fort Myers Beach, Florida being in water. In the days before Hurricane Ian struck her grandmother’s community, Beth and her husband helped her granny, Carole McDanel, prepare herself and her home for it.
Her granny wanted to stay where she had been living for more than two decades. She felt safe to stay because Ian was heading north for another city and the house had survived quite a few major hurricanes in history. In addition, the home contained priceless family memories and heirlooms (传家宝), among which were photos of Booker’s dad, who passed away when she was only five years old. After her dad’s death, Booker had to live with her grandmother, McDanel.
Once the storm struck, Booker received updates from her granny, who shared photos and videos showing flood started to fill the home. In her last phone call with granny, Booker told her granny to climb on the roof if the flood waters continued to climb. Unable to communicate with her granny any longer, Booker turned to Twitter for help with everything from searching for her granny to contacting local emergency officials.
The Fort Myers area was left devastated Wednesday after Hurricane Ian. On Thursday, as rescue crews came over to search for survivors, Booker’s husband and friend began their own search for her granny by boat. Just a few hours later, at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Booker tweeted the news that her husband and friend found granny sitting on her own sofa, where she was able to remain safe during the storm.
McDanel and Booker, who declined to be interviewed, said in a statement that they felt grateful for the support they had received and that they are calling for the world to continue the same energy and love into recovery and relief efforts for their community.
4.What does the underlined word “devastated” mean in paragraph 4?
A.Disturbed. B.Rebuilt. C.Destroyed. D.Attacked.
5.Where was Carole McDanel found?
A.In her home. B.In a very small boat.
C.In an emergency office. D.Among the flood victims.
6.Which of the following can best describe Booker?
A.Powerful. B.Responsible. C.Hard-working. D.Humorous.
7.What can be inferred from the text?
A.Natural disasters had ever struck the Earth frequently.
B.Booker had a good relationship with her grandmother as well.
C.Booker knew nothing about Hurricane Ian ahead of time.
D.Social media play a very great role in people’s daily life.
【答案】4.C 5.A 6.B 7.B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了佛罗里达州的贝丝·布克的祖母McDanel因留恋家庭记忆而在风暴来袭的时候选择留在家里,救援人员为她提供了帮助和支持,McDanel和Booker拒绝接受采访,他们在一份声明中表示,他们对自己得到的支持感到感激,并呼吁全世界继续以同样的精力和爱心为他们的社区进行恢复和救援。
4.词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词下文“On Thursday, as rescue crews came over to search for survivors, Booker’s husband and friend began their own search for her granny by boat.( 周四,当救援人员前来寻找幸存者时,布克的丈夫和朋友开始乘船寻找她的奶奶)”可知,奶奶所住的地区被飓风摧毁,所以划线词的含义应为“被摧毁”,故选C项。
5.细节理解题。根据第四段“Just a few hours later, at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Booker tweeted the news that her husband and friend found granny sitting on her own sofa, where she was able to remain safe during the storm.( 仅仅几个小时后,也就是周四下午4点,布克在推特上发布了她的丈夫和朋友发现奶奶坐在自己的沙发上的消息,在风暴期间,她可以在沙发上保持安全)”可知,Carole McDanel是在自己的家里被发现,故选A项。

Throughout my childhood, I constantly dreamed of being an only child-having no one around to fight with, to share with, to grab the remote control away from me in the middle of a “big game.” But I have an elder sister, whom I have always called “Kicki,” instead of her real name Christie, because I used to have trouble pronouncing the “r” and “s”.
I started playing basketball in primary school. My dad was the coach of my team, and my mom kept score. So my sister, not old enough to stay home alone, was forced to come to all my games. I remember looking toward the stands for my mother’s approval and seeing my sister’s face, confused. It was obvious that she wasn’t excited, but she cheered along with the crowd anyway.
On the car ride home, my parents and I would relive the game. My sister sat in the back seat with me in silence, not knowing how or when to enter the conversation. Often, she would say, “Good game, Brad. ” I would smile and thank her but never took it seriously. She couldn’t possibly know whether I had played well or not.
It wasn’t until I reached high school that I realized how popular she was, and I was referred to as “Christie’s little brother. ” I played basketball in high school, and although Christie wasn’t forced to attend my games anymore, she still came to cheer me every week. In the last game of the last season, she came with a large group of friends. Printed on her shirt, in big bright red letters, were the words “BRAD’S SISTER. ” Suddenly I was embarrassed, not for her presence, but for my previous attitude to her praise.
Kicki left for college after that game. I finally have the remote control all to myself. However, watching TV alone has turned out to be boring. I went to visit her at college during a weekend, and as I stood outside her dorm, waiting for her to come out, a friend of hers whom I didn’t know walked past me and asked, “Hey, aren’t you Christie’s brother?” I smiled broadly and said proudly, “Yeah, I am. I’m Christie’s brother.”
4.How did Brad feel about being an only child when he was young?
A.Boring.
B.Awesome.
C.Tough.
D.Awful.
5.Why did Christie go to Brad’s games when he was in primary school?
A.She hoped to know more about Brad.
B.She was interested in basketball games.
C.She was too young to be left alone at home.
D.She wanted to spend more time with her family.
6.Why did Brad feel embarrassed according to the last but one paragraph?
A.He treated Christie’s praise lightly before.
B.He forgot Christie’s presence at his last game.
C.He saw the big bright red letters on Christi’s shirt.
D.He received unwanted attention from Christie’s friends.
7.What can be inferred about Christie?
A.She was proud of Brad.
B.She didn’t like watching TV.
C.She enjoyed Brad’s calling her Kicki.
D.She seldom went home during college.

On a typical day, off the coast of a small Brazilian island, Pereira headed out to fish. He was disheartened to find that an oil leak had polluted the waters. Staring out at the waves with their oil sheen(光泽), he decided it was not a good day to fish. But walking on the beach that day, he found a struggling penguin, covered in oil and starving.
Pereira took the penguin home, gently cleaned it and spent the next week nursing it back to health. He named it Dindim, which belongs to a species known for living in the seas of South America. In order to bear babies, they must return to Patagonia, 8,000 kilometers from Pereira’s home. Pereira patiently took Dindim back to the ocean and taught it how to swim again. Soon enough, it was time for Dindim to return to life in the wild. Pereira watched Dindim swim away, believing it would be the last time he saw it.
But the next June,Dindim returned. The two shared a warm-hearted greeting, and Dindim stayed for a month,wandering around the fisherman’s house. The time to leave arrived, and Pereira thought this surely would be the last time he would see Dindim. But in the same month of the year after next, the penguin with a long memory returned again.
It is a common belief among scientists that animals have short memories. So, a couple of them put a tracking device on Dindim to seeif it was indeed the same penguin that returned year after year. To their surprise, but not Pereira’s, Dindim returned, year after year, for more than a decade.
24.Why was Pereira upset about his fishing that day?
A.His fish was eaten up by a penguin. B.The waves were too huge to fish.
C.His fishing area was polluted by oil. D.It was too cold for him to fish outside.
25.What did Pereira do for Dindim?

C.He fished it out from the sea. D.He rescued it from danger.
26.How long apart do Pereira and Dindim get reunited?
A.10 months. B.11 months.
C.12 months. D.13 months.
27.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Scientists generally think much of animals’ memories.
B.Pereira is quite sure about his friendship with Dindim.
C.It’s not the same penguin that returns to Pereira’s home.
D.The tracking device was used to find where Dindim went.
【答案】24.C 25.D 26.B 27.B
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲的是Pereira海钓时解救了一只受困的企鹅,因感恩于Pereira,这只企鹅连续十多年回到Pereira的家乡与他相聚的故事。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段“He was disheartened to find that an oil leak had polluted the waters. Staring out at the waves with their oil sheen(光泽),he decided it was not a good day to fish.(他沮丧地发现漏油污染了水域。他凝视着油光闪闪的海浪,决定今天不是钓鱼的好日子。)”可知, Pereira心情沮丧是因为海域表面漂浮着油污,不适合钓鱼。故选C项。
25.细节理解题。根据第一段“But walking on the beach that day, he found a struggling penguin, covered in oil and starving.(但那天在海滩上散步时,他发现了一只挣扎着的企鹅,浑身是油,快要饿死了。)”以及第二段“Pereira took the penguin home, gently cleaned it and spent the next week nursing it back to health.(Pereira 把企鹅带回家,轻轻地给它清洗了一下,然后花了一周的时间照顾它,让它恢复健康。)”可知,企鹅Dindim遇到了危险,Pereira解救了它。故选D项。
26.推理判断题。根据第三段“But the next June, Dindim returned. The two shared a warm-hearted greeting, and Dindim stayed for a month, wandering around the fisherman’s house. The time to leave arrived, and Pereira thought this surely would be the last time he would see Dindim. But in the same month of the year after next, the penguin with a long memory returned again.(但第二年6月,Dindim又回来了。两人热情地打招呼,Dindim在渔夫的房子周围徘徊了一个月。离开的时间到了,Pereira想这一定是他最后一次见到Dindim了。但在第三年的同一个月,这只记忆力很好的企鹅又回来了。)”可知,Pereira和Dindim每年6月份团聚,相处一个月后再分开。由此可以推断,每隔11个月他们相聚一次。故选B项。
27.推理判断题。根据第四段“It is a common belief among scientists that animals have short memories. So, a couple of them put a tracking device on Dindim to see if it was indeed the same penguin that returned year after year. To their surprise, but not Pereira’s, Dindim returned, year after year, for more than a decade.(科学家们普遍认为动物的记忆力很短。因此,他们中的一些人在Dindim身上安装了跟踪装置,看看它是否确实是那只年复一年回来的企鹅。令他们吃惊的是,Dindim年复一年地回来了,持续了十多年,但Pereira并不吃惊。)”可知,科学家们对Dindim的行为感到非常吃惊,但是Pereira并不吃惊,由此可以推知,Pereira非常相信他们之间的友谊。故选B项。

My wife, Hannah, and I don’t usually keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered, but after my diagnosis (诊断) with brain cancer, I loved the idea of having something green around.
A friend gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green bowl. We placed the plant in the living room and I told Hannah I wanted to care for it myself. When it didn’t immediately turn yellow or lose leaves, I was pleasantly surprised. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment when I sometimes felt useless. As a family physician, I was used to offering care, not receiving it.
Since my diagnosis, I had to rely on help from other people. Watering the plant, small act as it was, connected me to a core part of my old identity.
After I recovered from the operation and returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height. Both the tree and I were thriving (茁壮成长). Then, without any reason, it began to show signs of stress. Its leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. Hannah reminded me that we’d seen houseplants die before, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that the plant had become a symbol of my health. I grew increasingly depressed and fearful.
Looking back, I realized I had wrongly connected my caring of the plant—something I could manage—with my own survival—something I couldn’t. Knowing I couldn’t control my fate (命运), my anxiety actually lessened. I began to search online to figure out how to care for my plant. Following the instructions, I transplanted the tree to a larger pot, giving it room to grow. When it was back in the sunny window, we both began to thrive again. Whenever I look at the plant in its new pot, I make a point to think of those who have cared for and supported me.
4.Why was the author surprised about the plant’s good condition?
A.Because of his recent diagnosis. B.Because of his worsening health.
C.Because of his previous failures. D.Because of his unusual good luck.
5.What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 imply?
A.The author considered himself useless. B.The author felt connected to the plant.
C.The author desired to provide care. D.The author hoped to return to work.
6.Why was the author fearful?
A.Because the plant’s poor health might indicate his death.
B.Because the stress of work would harm his well-being.
C.Because he may have to rely on others from then on.
D.Because he would experience a rather risky operation.
7.How did the author lessen his anxiety?
A.By searching plant knowledge online. B.By thinking of those who supported him.
C.By knowing he will survive in the end. D.By accepting his unavoidable limitation.
【答案】4.C 5.C 6.A 7.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的经历,作者和妻子每次养室内植物都会失败,后来作者患病后,养了一株竹子,作者也把竹子和自己的健康联系在一起。
4.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My wife, Hannah, and I don’t usually keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered, but after my diagnosis (诊断) with brain cancer, I loved the idea of having something green around. (我妻子汉娜和我通常不养室内植物。花盆里的任何东西要么浇水过多,要么浇水不足,但在我被诊断出患有脑癌之后,我喜欢周围有一些绿色的东西。)”可知,作者和妻子每次养室内植物都会失败;再根据第二段“When it didn’t immediately turn yellow or lose leaves, I was pleasantly surprised. (当它没有立即变黄或落叶时,我感到惊喜。)”可知,作者看到竹子没有变黄和落叶时,感到惊喜是因为他和妻子之前养室内植物都失败了。故选C。
5.词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“As a family physician, I was used to offering care, not receiving it. (作为一名家庭医生,我习惯于提供照顾,而不是接受照顾。)”可知,作者一直以来都习惯于提供照顾。而根据划线句子前一句“Since my diagnosis, I had to rely on help from other people. (自从我被确诊后,我不得不依靠别人的帮助。)”可知,确诊之后,作者不得不依靠别人的帮助,也就是不能继续给别人提供照顾了。因此,划线句子的隐含意思指的是,给植物浇水又唤起了作者照顾别人的渴望。故选C。
6.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Hannah reminded me that we’d seen houseplants die before, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that the plant had become a symbol of my health. I grew increasingly depressed and fearful. (汉娜提醒我,我们以前见过室内植物死去,但我无法摆脱这种感觉,那棵植物已经成为我健康的象征。我变得越来越沮丧和恐惧。)”和最后一段“Looking back, I realized I had wrongly connected my caring of the plant—something I could manage—with my own survival—something I couldn’t. Knowing I couldn’t control my fate (命运), my anxiety actually lessened. (回想起来,我意识到我错误地把我对植物的照顾——这是我能做到的——和我自己的生存联系起来——这是我不能做到的。)”可知,作者感到恐惧的原因是因为作者把植物的健康和自己的健康联系在一起,所以看到植物开始枯萎,作者就联想到自身的健康,因此感到害怕。故选A。
7.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Looking back, I realized I had wrongly connected my caring of the plant—something I could manage—with my own survival—something I couldn’t. Knowing I couldn’t control my fate (命运), my anxiety actually lessened. (回想起来,我意识到我错误地把我对植物的照顾——这是我能做到的——和我自己的生存联系起来——这是我不能做到的。知道自己无法控制自己的命运后,我的焦虑反而减轻了。)”可知,作者接受了自己不可避免的局限性,知道自己无法控制自己命运后,他的焦虑也就减轻了。故选D。

About 400 pounds of food is wasted per day from 5 pm to 8 pm in Douglass Dining Hall. “We scrape(刮掉) the food from the conveyor belt into the buckets by hand. Working for Dining Team Green, I don’t expect to basically become a garbage girl,” Roll said. “We do the work because we care much about it. We all have a responsibility to take care of the environment.”
To have more approachable composting(把……制成堆肥) machines on campus, Roll now has a new sustainable project investing in Lomi, an automated compost machine. “I learned about Lomi through an ad,” Roll said. “Funny enough, I just saw it and thought it perfect. It really interested me how the mechanism worked. ”
Lomi is a new technology that can break down food waste into natural compost. According to Roll, it breaks down waste in the way: grinding(碾碎) the food into plant fertilizer. Unlike most composting machines, Omi can compost animal products, such as small bones. Another huge benefit is that it doesn’t have smell and can convert waste to compost in a shorter time.
Roll plans on using the compost in the Gilbert community garden so that Dining Team Green can give back to the community. “It’s very exciting to see our food waste that would otherwise have gone in the trash and pollute the environment go to our community,” she said.
Roll is excited to introduce a new form of composting to the residents. She hopes that this machine will inspire other composting machines in all residential buildings. “I want Lomi not only to be a way to reduce food waste on the floor, but an educational tool to make people compost in a real way and not just talk about it in a theoretical sense,” Roll said.
4.Which of the following can best describe Lomi?
A.Elegant. B.Widespread.
C.Low-powered. D.Environmentally friendly.
5.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The reasons for designing Lomi. B.The impact of wasting food.
C.The solution to food waste. D.The advantages of Lomi.
6.What may be Roll’s expectation?
A.More people will get involved in composting initiatives.
B.Dining Team Green will become an educational tool.
C.More developed composting machines will be invented.
D.Dining Team Green will build community gardens.
7.What can we know about Roll?
A.She lives in the Gilbert community.
B.She is a member of Dining Team Green.
C.She knows a lot about residential buildings.
D.She plans to design more composting machines.
【答案】4.D 5.D 6.A 7.B
【导语】本文是篇记叙文。为了解决食物残渣问题,Roll专注于推广一台制作堆肥的机器。
4.推理判断题。根据第三段“Lomi is a new technology that can break down food waste into natural compost. ”(Lomi是一种可以将食物垃圾分解成天然堆肥的新技术。)可知,Lomi将食物垃圾分解成天然堆肥,避免了食物垃圾对环境的污染,有着环保作用。故选D。
5.主旨大意题。根据第三段“According to Roll, it breaks down waste in the way: grinding(碾碎)the food into plant fertilizer. Unlike most composting machines, Omi can compost animal products, such as small bones. Another huge benefit is that it doesn’t have smell and can convert waste to compost in a shorter time.”(根据Roll的说法,它通过这样的方式来分解废物:将食物研磨成植物肥料。与大多数堆肥机不同,Omi可以堆肥动物产品,如小骨头;另一个巨大的好处是它没有气味,可以在更短的时间内将废物转化为堆肥。)可知,第三段主要讲述了Lomi的优点。故选D。
6.推理判断题。根据最后一段“I want Lomi not only to be a way to reduce food waste on the floor, but an educational tool to make people compost in a real way and not just talk about it in a theoretical sense,”(我希望Lomi不仅是一种减少食物浪费的方式,而且是一种教育工具,让人们真正地堆肥,而不仅仅是在理论上谈论它。)可知,Roll可能是希望Lomi能够教育人们积极地、用实际行动去堆肥,让更多的人参与到堆肥计划中。故选A。
7.细节理解题。根据第一段“Working for Dining Team Green, I don’t expect to basically become a garbage girl,”(在Dining Team Green工作,我不期望从根本上成为一个垃圾女孩)和第四段“Roll plans on using the compost in the Gilbert community garden so that Dining Team Green can give back to the community.”(Roll计划在Gilbert社区花园使用堆肥,这样Dining Team Green就可以回馈社区。)可知,Roll为Dining Team Green工作,是其中一员。故选B。

There is no way they just drove into that water, thought Corion Evans. The 16-year-old was hanging out in a parking area underneath a Moss Point, Mississippi, highway in July when a car with three teenage girls inside rushed off a boat ramp and into the Pascagoula River. It came to rest some 20 feet from land, then sank. The driver, Evans would learn, had blindly followed wrong directions from her GPS.
It was around 2:30 a. m. by the time Evans got to the river’s edge. In the darkness, he could barely make out the girls clinging to the roof, the only part of the car still, barely, above water. But he could hear screaming.
Evans ripped off his shirt and shoes, tossed his phone down, then dived into the water, a river he knew alligators (鳄鱼) called home. He helped the first girl he saw and, keeping her head above water, led her ashore.
Just then, a man called out. Police Officer Garry Mercer had arrived. He dived into the river to help another of the girls. But halfway back to shore, she panicked and went underwater, pulling Mercer down with her.
Evans jumped back into the water and helped them until they could stand. “If he hadn’t been there, who knows?” Mercer told the Washington Post.
There was still one girl in the water. Cora Watson, 19, could not swim. She was gulping water, struggling to stay afloat. And scared.
“I heard Cora screaming ‘Help!’and I thought she was going to the dogs,” Caleb told WLOX in Biloxi.
“I just knew my last breath was coming,” Watson said. “My mind said, You’re slowly losing yourself.” She began to go under. Then, a jolt. “Corion had grabbed me.”
The three girls and Officer Mercer were taken to the hospital and released. They’re alive because Corion Evans risked his life to save them. They’re alive, says his mother, Marquita Evans, because Corion Evans broke his curfew.
But she’s not mad, she told the Post. “He had a good reason.”
4.According to paragraph 1, what can we know about the accident?
A.The three teenage girls were about to hang out when they dropped into the river.
B.The wrong navigation confused the driver and caused the accident.

What does a PhD student do? I am a PhD girl student being responsible for the tear where undergraduate and master students work together. They work on different aspects of my project and other projects in the team. I offer them advice and sort out issues they have. I also assist them with computer-aided design (CAD), programming, and teach them how to use some equipment, like 3D printers. Being in charge of the research group while working or my PhD is also a learning process for me. There is so much support from my supervisors and senior students. There is usually someone to turn to for help!
I start my day at 5 am. I will read some papers and work on my project before heading to the lab in the hospital at 11:00. This summer, our team consists of 40 students, so the lab is usually occupied when I get there. I will attend some meetings, meet with students, and then program or work on CAD.
The best part of my research work is the flexibility in that it involves both software and hardware development. Whenever I get stuck on the programming part, I will move onto CAD for a break. It does not require me to be attached to my screen at all times, which can be quite refreshing.
My project about the development of a robotic system impresses me a lot. A huge milestone for me is designing and developing my first model of a robot. It is quite satisfying to make progress and be reminded of the great potential my research has for improving the current medical treatment.
I think I can progress even further if I have more confidence in myself and ask others for help when I need it most. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter who you want to ask for help, because they may know more about the topic than you do. So, expose yourself to people in the roles you wish to be in and make lots of connections!
4.What does the author think of being responsible for the research group?
A.Troublesome.
B.Beneficial.

6.What does the author convey in paragraph 4?
A.Her pride in the research result.
B.The importance of teamwork in the research.
C.The difficulty of developing a robotic system.
D.Her confusion about designing a robot model.
7.What does the author want to tell us to do in the last paragraph?

14.【2023届四川省成都市第三次诊断试题】
Jeff Jensen, the business and Boy Scout leader, was in a dilemma and had painful damage in his leg and foot. He needed surgery, but he doubted whether he could afford it, even with insurance. “There’s nothing more depressing than seeing a bill for 24, 000 dollars and going. How much of this will my insurance cover and how much is mine to cover?” Jensen told WWAY-TV.
Luckily for Jensen, his doctor is Demetrio Aguila. The nerve specialist gives patients the option to pay for surgery through volunteer work. He founded an organization called M25 Program. “We can’t ignore the people in our own backyard,” Aguila told CBS. “We want to be able to offer hope to patients who have lost hope medically.”
Using an algorithm (算法), the clinic calculates community service hours based on the price of the surgery. In Jensen’s case, the $12, 000 operation equaled 560 hours of helping out at one of the local charitable organizations registered with the M25 Program.
Like 10 percent of Aguila’s patients, Jensen chose the community service. And because hundreds of hours of community service can seem difficult, Aguila, 50, not only lets others participate, he encourages it. “I had this hope that we would reawaken in our neighbors and in ourselves a sense of volunteerism,” he told CNN.
Jensen, whose surgery was completed in February 2020, was helped by more than 100 friends and strangers who volunteered at Orphan Grain Train, which donates food, clothing, and medicine nationally and globally.
Dave Harvey, founder of the homeless aid organization Least of My Brethren, is counted as one who is inspired by Aguila. “He is making things easier by sending volunteers our way!” he told KMTV in Omaha. “What a cool thing!”
4.What can a patient do if he can’t afford surgery according to the text?
A.Seek aid from social media. B.Raise money in the hospital.
C.Join in the voluntary service. D.Turn to the insurance company.
5.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.People’s help. B.The M25 Program.
C.Community service. D.Medical assistance.
6.What’s Harvey’s attitude to Aguila?
A.Cautious. B.Concerned. C.Grateful. D.Doubtful.
7.Where is the text probably taken from?
A.A local newspaper. B.A medical journal.
C.A clinic advertisement. D.An insurance brochure.
【答案】4.C 5.A 6.C 7.A
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是Jeff Jensen在医生Demetrio Aguila成立的M25 Program的帮助下通过参加社区服务来支付了手术费用的故事。
4.细节理解题。根据第二段的“The nerve specialist gives patients the option to pay for surgery through volunteer work.(这个神经专家让病人选择通过志愿工作来支付手术费用。)”可知,如果病人负担不起手术费用,他可以参加志愿服务。故选C。
5.词句猜测题。根据第四段的“Like 10 percent of Aguila’s patients, Jensen chose the community service.(像Aguila的10%的病人一样,Jensen选择了社区服务。)”,“hundreds of hours of community service(数百小时的社区服务)”和“not only lets others participate(不仅让别人参与)”可知,他不仅让别人参与,而且鼓励别人参与到社区服务当中来,因此it指的是“人们参与进来”,即人们的帮助,故选A。
6.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“He is making things easier by sending volunteers our way!(他把志愿者送到我们这边来,让事情变得更容易了!)”可知,Harvey觉得Aguila所做的事情很好,因此他对Aguila的态度是感激的,故选C。
7.推理判断题。根据第二段的“Luckily for Jensen, his doctor is Demetrio Aguila. The nerve specialist gives patients the option to pay for surgery through volunteer work. He founded an organization called M25 Program. “We can’t ignore the people in our own backyard,” Aguila told CBS. “We want to be able to offer hope to patients who have lost hope medically.”(Jensen很幸运,他的医生是Demetrio Aguila。这位神经专家让病人选择通过志愿工作来支付手术费用。他创立了一个名为M25计划的组织。Aguila对哥伦比亚广播公司说:“我们不能忽视自己后院的人。”“我们希望能够给那些在医学上失去希望的患者带来希望。”)”可知,本文主要讲的是Jeff Jensen在医生Demetrio Aguila的帮助下通过参加社区服务来支付了手术费用的故事,应该是一篇新闻报道,来自于当地的报纸,故选A。

Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula broke their record for most visitors in a year back in 2019, with over 3.2 million1 visitors. Recently, Mexico’s first long-distance hiking and cycling trail (步道) has been completed here, which will attract tourists from all over the world once more. The tourist attraction and trail, which goes through local cultural relics, will give visitors a wonderful glimpse into the incredible history to Maya’s history.
Considering that most tourists travel to Mexico, particularly Cancun, with the 5-star hotels and perfect beaches, getting them to visit the other history-filled areas isn’t always so easy, unless they happen to be history lovers.
But with the newly constructed Camino del Mayab, tourists can experience the rich Mayan culture, history, food, and civilization. The trail is a 68-mile journey that hopes to aid in bettering the lives of the 14 communities of Mayan descendants (后代) that live along the trail. The journey can take three days to cycle or five days to walk. Those on the journey will begin in the town of Merida, and then head to many abandoned haciendas, which remind you of Mayan labor. Along the trail, visitors can purchase handicrafts and taste the delicious food of the Yucatan and the Maya from local stores and restaurants.
All throughout the trail is also a jungle where various birds and other types of animals are found. The trail ends at the very top of the pyramid of Kulkulkan at Mayapán.
The Yucatan civilization collapsed during the 9th century and its people became slaves in the 15th century. Yet, the locals worked to keep their ancestral homes, animals, cities, foods and culture work for themselves, rather than being overrun by large hotel companies. In this way, the Yucatan civilization managed to remain strong in the region.
And whether you’re a lover of Mexico or not, or possibly one that enjoys these types of camino walks, the Camino del Mayab is definitely worth the time.
8.What is Camino del Mayab?
A.A perfect beach. B.A hiking and cycling trail.
C.A historical site. D.A newly constructed hotel.
9.What is the main purpose of the Camino del Mayab?
A.To protect tropical animals. B.To further promote local goods.
C.To help improve the lives of locals. D.To attract tourists to Mexico’s beaches.
10.How did the people in Yucatan keep their civilization strong?
A.By relying on natural resources. B.By engaging in regional trade.
C.By working with large companies. D.By sticking to their way of life.
11.Why does the author write this text?
A.To advocate donations. B.To introduce a new attraction.
C.To inform a newly-discovered site. D.To call for environmental protection.

A foreigner from Luxembourg expanded the horizons of villagers in Zhadong, a village in Guangxi, across continents.
“The first time I came to Zhadong village, I was impressed by its natural beauty. The adobe (黏土) homes fit perfectly with the green environment,” recalls Hansen Nico Rene,a 63-year-old retired policeman. “But when we entered the houses, we found people were very poor.”
Before coming to Zhadong, Hansen had settled in Guangxi’s Hechi city for six years. What brought him to Zhadong was a notice for volunteers to aid the poverty relief campaign in March 2018.
In 2015, of some 600 residents in the village, over half lived under the national poverty line. At the time of Hansen’s first visit, there were still some parts of the village that were not accessible by road. “We first thought he was a tourist, as he was carrying a camera with him,” a local villager says. “But later, we learned he was a volunteer. He is always giving a hand to the villagers on their farms when he sees them. When visiting my home, he always helped with the farm chores.”
After the visits, Hansen suggested that the village use the land behind it to build a farm, and he also participated in the construction work himself. “It was a jungle. We brought electricity and water, and then we built a small farm. Now there are nearly 2,000 pigs and 200 cows. It is still growing,” Hansen says. Today, this farm brings an income of over 100,000 yuan to the villagers each year.
Under Hansen’s assistance, the village’s officials and other poverty relief workers developed featured industries, including cattle and sheep breeding and fruit planting. Their efforts paid off. By November 2020, the whole of Zhadong village had successfully wiped out poverty. Now local authorities are leading the villagers on a new journey to rural vitalization.
4.Why did Hansen come to Zhadong in 2018?
A.To appreciate the natural beauty. B.To launch a poverty relief campaign.
C.To help the villagers get rid of poverty. D.To expand his horizon across continents.
5.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.Hansen’s working principles. B.Hansen’s popularity in the village.
C.Hansen’s efforts to relieve poverty. D.Hansen’s financial aid to the villagers.
6.Which of the following best describes Hansen?
A.Modest and creative. B.Humorous and considerate.
C.Ambitious and helpful. D.Warmhearted and hardworking.
7.What will be probably talked about in the next paragraph?
A.The villagers’ appreciation for Hansen. B.Hansen’s future plan to relieve poverty.
C.The achievements of the featured industries. D.The villagers’ continuous efforts for well-being.

I was cutting up lettuce in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a video about soaking the lettuce stub(残余部分)in water to grow a whole new vegetable. So I took out a wide-mouthed mug and placed the stub into it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the window.
On a snowy morning, I noticed the first sign. A first small leaf from its heart spread out. A tiny green flag of hope. Beaten, but not defeated. This lettuce was not done living! Within days, it was impossible to see the cuts where I had removed the leaves. The growth was explosive. And when I lifted the blossoming head out of the mug(大杯),tiny root threads fell down, seeking for the earth. What is growing here? Lettuce or hope?
If I were a lettuce in a similar condition, I’d want to skeptically assess where I found myself before committing to full growth. Yet for this lettuce, my inadequate offering of water and a place by a window was enough for it to decide to reclaim itself again. It grew in a mug of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided to call it Monty.
Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two ingredients were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. With the right ingredients, this is the tendency of all living things.
Monty still lives in a mug, but I’m going to transplant him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my capacity to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger.
I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in and decay(腐败),or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave.
4.Why did the author soak the stub in water?
A.To hope that it would grow. B.To decorate the nice mug.
C.To conduct an experiment. D.To remove his bad mood.
5.What is the first sign of life in the author’s eyes?
A.The remaining stub. B.The small leaf.
C.The disappearing cuts. D.The tiny root threads.
6.How would the author feel if in the lettuce’s situation?
A.Hesitant. B.Fearless. C.Aimless. D.Annoyed
7.What can we learn from Monty?
A.Enjoying your own life to the fullest.
B.Believing in yourself when in trouble.
C.Never being afraid to restart yourself.
D.Giving freedom to the heart in a way.

17.【2023届四川省宜宾市高三三诊试题】
I came to love the way Morrie lit up when I entered the room. He did this for many people, I know, but it was his special talent to make each visitor feel the smile was unique.
“Ahhhh, it’s my buddy,” he would say when he saw me, in that foggy, high-pitched voice. And it didn’t stop with the greeting. When Morrie was with you, he was really with you. He looked at you straight in the eye, and he listened as if you were the only person in the world. How much better would people get along if their first encounter each day were like this instead of complaints from a waitress or a bus driver or a boss?
“I believe in being fully present,” Morrie said. “That means you should be with the person you’re with. When I’m talking to you now, Mitch, I try to keep focused only on what is going on between us. I am not thinking about something we said last week. I am not thinking of what’s coming up this Friday. I am not thinking about doing another Koppel show, or about what medications I’m taking.”
Morrie could spend every waking moment in self-pity, feeling his body for decay (腐烂), counting his breaths. So many people with far smaller problems are so self-absorbed, their eyes glaze over if you speak for more than thirty seconds. They already have something else in mind a friend to call, a fax to send, a lover they’re daydreaming about. They only snap back to full attention when you finish talking, at which point they say “Uh-huh”or “Yeah, really” and fake their way back to the moment.
“Part of the problem, Mitch, is that everyone is in such a hurry,” Morrie said. “People haven’t found meaning in their lives, so they’re running all the time looking for it. They think of the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they find those things are empty, too, and they keep running.”
24.What is about Morrie?
A.He likes smiling to others.
B.He likes critical thinking.
C.He is a man of many ideas.
D.He is a man of many words.
25.How do people usually react when someone is speaking to them?
A.They listen to others carefully.
B.They always talk about themselves.
C.They pay little attention to the conversation.
D.They complain to each other about life problems.
26.How does the writer find Morrie?
A.Serious. B.Lazy. C.Optimistic. D.Smart.
27.What does the story convey?
A.People focus on material possessions in life.
B.People had better cherish the present moment.
C.People should learn how to strike up a conversation.
D.People seek for the next thing to achieve happiness.
【答案】24.A 25.C 26.B 27.B
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。我与莫里的接触中,渐渐的明白了一个道理:人们一直在寻找生活的意义,为未来努力奔跑,想着下一辆车,下一所房子,下一份工作,但却忘了珍惜当下,活在当下。
24.推理判断题。根据首段“I came to love the way Morrie lit up when I entered the room. He did this for many people, I know , but it was his special talent to make each visitor feel the smile was unique. (我渐渐喜欢上了莫里在我走进房间时使整个房间变得快活起来。我知道,他为很多人都这样做过,但他的特殊才能是让每个来访者都觉得他的微笑是独一无二的。)”可知,莫里喜欢对别人笑。故选A。
25.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二三句“So many people with far smaller problems are so self-absorbed, their eyes glaze over if you speak for more than thirty seconds. They already have something else in mind a friend to call, a fax to send, a lover they’re daydreaming about. (很多人在处理小问题的时候都很自私,如果你说话超过30秒,他们的眼睛就会变得呆滞。他们心里已经有了其他的想法——一个要打电话的朋友,一个要发的传真,一个他们梦寐以求的情人。)”可知,当有人和他们说话时,他们会眼神呆滞,开小差,很少注意倾听。故选C。
26.推理判断题。根据第三段最后四句““When I’m talking to you now, Mitch, I try to keep focused only on what is going on between us. I am not thinking about something we said last week. I am not thinking of what’s coming up this Friday. I am not thinking about doing another Koppel show, or about what medications I’m taking.” (“我现在跟你说话的时候,米奇,我尽量只关注我们之间的事。我不是在想我们上周说过的话。我没有考虑这个星期五会发生什么。我没想过要再演一部科佩尔的剧,也没想过要吃什么药。”)”可知,作者发现莫里不考虑过去和将来的事,所以认为他很懒。故选B。
27.推理判断题。根据第三段首句““I believe in being fully present,” Morrie said. (“我相信活在当下,”莫里说。)”以及末段最后三句““People haven’t found meaning in their lives, so they’re running all the time looking for it. They think of the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they find those things are empty, too, and they keep running.” (“人们还没有找到生活的意义,所以他们一直在寻找意义。他们想着下一辆车,下一所房子,下一份工作。然后他们发现那些东西也是空的,他们就继续跑。”)”可知,人们一直在寻找生活的意义,为未来努力奔跑,想着下一辆车,下一所房子,下一份工作,但却忘了珍惜当下,活在当下,所以这篇文章告诉我们要珍惜当下。故选B。

Growing up, I always heard people say work hard pays. I never really understood these words until I reached the age where my parents stopped giving me my monthly allowance and asked me to look for a job.
New Year is a season of good news for merrymakers and entrepreneurial (企业家的) characters. My childhood friend was one of the latter. Mike and I were two sides of the same coin. I was an introvert and a bookworm, while Mike was outgoing and a merrymaker. His added advantage over me was that he came from a family of entrepreneurs. Therefore, while I saw the festive season as another time to enjoy, he saw it as a perfect time to make money. Ironically, I needed this side of him, given my present predicament (困境).
Mike was not of the “work hard pays” school of thought but the “work smart” school. When I told him about my predicament, he saw a business partner. He confided ( 吐 露 ) in me about his business idea — making and selling festive decorations. Having noticed my disbelieving look, he told me he had researched and realized that only one shop sold festive decorations with exorbitant ( 过 高 的 ) price, which meant that there was room for competition. However, I reminded him starting a business, let alone competing with an established enterprise, required capital. He told me, “Not really. All we had to do was make some decorations ourselves.” Upon that, we made some special designs and hit the ground running.
News about our selling decorations spread like wildfire. Mike’s decision to publish brochures advertising our products was a genius marketing trick. Within three days, we had sold about 50 sets of decorations, and as they say, the rest is history.
My parents’ decision to stop my monthly allowance served to teach me the value of work. However, it was my entrepreneurial adventure with Mike that taught me that working smart is better than working hard.
4.What was the author’s present predicament?
A.Weak reading skills. B.Lack of financial support.
C.Poor communication ability. D.Awful relationship with parents.
5.What do the underlined words “hit the ground running” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Set off immediately. B.Collected money eagerly.
C.Imagined the future merrily. D.Started the business successfully.
6.What is Mike’s marketing strategy?
A.Advertising their products widely.
B.Doing research in advance.
C.Designing delicate decorations.
D.Making decorations on their own.
7.What can we learn from the author’s story?
A.Smart work outweighs hard work.
B.Wisdom comes from hard work.
C.Working hard pays off.
D.Working smart starts with working hard.
【答案】4.B 5.D 6.A 7.A

Recently I bought a book about signposts. Signposts aren’t very interesting, you’re thinking. Well, that, of course, depends on whether you happen to be lost! Ancient travelers would have been grateful for these when settlements were smaller and further apart. In winter, the ability to reach shelter for the night could be the difference between life and death.
One of the very earliest waymarks discovered is in Cumbria. Dating from Roman times, it had lain fallen until 1836, when a farmer ploughing his fields came across a sandstone shaft (碑文). There are other stone posts that have stood by roadsides for centuries. It wasn’tuntil 1697 that an act was passed declaring that guide-stones must be built.
This applied to remote parts of the country where there might be confusion as to which path led to the nearest market town. Later, with the appearance of the Royal Mail, the number rose still further. Nowadays many of these early road signs are designated (指定) as Listed Monuments.
“How times change!” Lucy, an enthusiastic walker, to whom I loaned the book,exclaimed.
“I suppose now we all rely far more upon mobile phones to guide us.”
“Yet they aren’tperfect. Whenever I go out, I prefer a map. I never have to worry about running out of battery.” “T’m always grateful to whoever is placing way-markers along the route,” she added,“I suppose that however sure we are, a little outside confirmation is always welcome.”
Lucy is quite right there. Life itself can offer us a great many choices of path, and sometimes it isn’t easy to know if we’ve chosen the best one.
Perhaps when it comes to gratitude, we should also include thanks for those people who appear in our lives when we most need them — either giving us gentle warning that we might be heading in the wrong direction, or reassurance that we are on the right track. After all, we’d be lost without them!
4.What does the underlined word “these ” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.Signposts. B.Abilities. C.Settlements. D.Shelters.
5.What contributed to the initial spread of signposts?
A.The market trade. B.The act passed in 1697.
C.The discovery of the sandstone. D.The appearance of the Loyal Mail.
6.What does Lucy think of signposts?
A.Popular. B.Outdated. C.Imperfect. D.Helpful.
7.What does the author learn from signposts?
A.To choose right tracks. B.To live a colorful life.
C.To have a grateful mind. D.To offer practical choices.
【答案】4.A 5.B 6.D 7.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者最近买了一本关于路标的书,以及从书中掌握了解到关于路标的知识。
4.词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Recently I bought a book about signposts.”(最近我买了一本关于路标的书。)提到路标,以及划线单词句中的“when settlements were smaller and further apart.”(当定居点更小、距离更远的时候。)故可猜测,划线单词these指的就是上文中提到的路标,由此可知,该句应为:当定居点更小、距离更远的时候,古代旅行者会很感激这些路标。故选A项。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段“One of the very earliest waymarks discovered is in Cumbria. Dating from Roman times, it had lain fallen until 1836, when a farmer ploughing his fields came across a sandstone shaft(碑文). There are other stone posts that have stood by roadsides for centuries. It wasn’t until 1697 that an act was passed declaring that guide-stones must be built.”(最早发现的路标之一是在坎布里亚郡。它始建于罗马时代,直到1836年,一个农民在耕地时偶然发现了一个砂岩井。还有一些石柱已经矗立在路边几个世纪了。直到1697年才通过一项法案,宣布必须建造路标。)可知,1697年通过的法案促成了路标最初的传播。故选B项。
6.推理判断题。根据第六段““Yet they aren’t perfect. Whenever I go out, I prefer a map. I never have to worry about running out of battery. ” “ I’m always grateful to whoever is placing way-markers along the route,” she added, “I suppose that however sure we are, a little outside confirmation is always welcome.””(“然而,它们并不完美。无论我什么时候出去,我都喜欢带着地图。我从来不用担心没电了。“无论谁在沿途设置路标,我都很感激,”她补充说,“我想,无论我们多么确定,一点外界的确认总是受欢迎的。”)可推知,露西对路标的看法是认为它是有帮助的。故选D项。
7.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps when it comes to gratitude, we should also include thanks for those people who appear in our lives when we most need them—either giving us gentle warning that we might be heading in the wrong direction, or reassurance that we are on the right track. After all, we’d be lost without them!”(也许说到感恩,我们也应该感谢那些在我们最需要他们的时候出现在我们生活中的人——他们要么温和地警告我们可能走错了方向,要么安慰我们走在正确的道路上。毕竟,没有他们我们会迷路的!)可推知,作者从路标中学到了要有感恩的心。故选C项。

I was picking through coat pockets and madly shaking all my old purses and wallets. I was looking for pennies, quarters — anything that would help me make it to the end of the week. It sure was feeling heavy.
A hopeless girl in her twenties,I was a single parent, with a one-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter.
Life consisted of ups and downs. One year, I was having baby showers and taking vacations in the mountains of Tennessee. The next, I was searching around my small, two-bedroom apartment collecting loose change to buy food and gas. Suddenly, I found myself becoming poor, and it was hard.
I’ll never forget the joy of finding one penny during my hunt, then two, then fifteen, and then twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six. Every time I found one, I felt excited. Looking back now, I see that it was somewhat ironic (讽刺的) because I had looked down on pennies at one point in my life.
I sat in my bedroom that night and sorted all the change from my hour-long quest. I smiled and made jokes with my daughter while we packed our pennies. Her brother joyfully bounced up and down in his bouncer. They had no idea how many nights I would cry with my face buried in the pillows, wondering how I would keep a roof over their heads, lights on in the house, and food on the table.
I remember those days like they were yesterday, but I don’t remember them with sadness. I remember them intentionally because I promised myself that if I were ever to escape the pains of poverty, I would never forget the value of a penny.
I’ve kept that promise, too.
4.Why did the author shake her old purses?
A.To look for money to pay for their expense. B.To purchase something for her children.

A.She could make ends meet. B.She often lived a hard life.
C.She was once living well. D.She enjoyed her family life.
6.What is the author’s promise?
A.To help others little by little. B.To find great value in little things.
C.To bring happiness to her children. D.To forget the sad days intentionally.
7.What does this text want to convey?
A.It’s no use crying over spilt milk.
B.We should repair the house before it rains.
C.Each family has its own happiness and unhappiness.
D.One penny is the small seed from which fortunes spring.

Suddenly, I found myself becoming poor, and it was hard.(人生有起有伏。有一年,我在田纳西州的山区举办婴儿派对和度假。接下来,我就在我那间两居室的小公寓里四处寻找零钱,准备买食物和汽油。突然间,我发现自己变穷了,这很艰难)”可推知,作者之前生活富足,而目前却穷困潦倒。故选C。
6.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I remember them intentionally because I promised myself that if I were ever to escape the pains of poverty, I would never forget the value of a penny.(我有意地记住它们,因为我向自己保证,如果我能摆脱贫穷的痛苦,我永远不会忘记一分钱的价值)”可推知,作者承诺要从小事情中发现巨大的价值。故选B。
