“They tell me that yu’d like t make a statue (塑像) f me — is that crrect, Miss Vinnie Ream?” The President’s deep, gentle vice helped calm the nervus girl as he shwed his dubt.
Asking fr the help f the President (总统) f the United States was n casual matter, especially fr a seventeen-year-ld girl.
“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wuldn’t have dared t ask yu, but my teacher, Mr Mills, says I am ready. I plan t make it in an admirable manner.”
President Lincln smiled. “Painters, sculptrs — they’ve all tried t make the best f this rdinary face, but I’m afraid there’s nt much hpe. What did yu have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust (半身像)?”
Befre Vinnie culd say yes, the President hurried n, a shade f aplgy in his vice. “Of curse — I shuldn’t have asked. A full-length pse wuld be much t big a prject fr a yung wman yur size.”
Vinnie’s face turned red. She realized she lked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small des nt mean weak, sir,” she defended herself. “I was brn in the cuntry f Wiscnsin. I’ve driven teams f hrses and carried water. Making a full-length clay (粘土) figure wuld nt exhaust my strength — and that is what I intend t d!”
The President’s eyes, brightened at her shw f spirit. “Srry, madam, I have underestimated yu as I didn’t knw yur backgrund.”
But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bny fingers, in thught. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “I’d like t let yu d it, but as yu knw, we are in the middle f a war. Hw culd I pssibly take the time t pse fr a sculpture nw? I hardly have a minute t myself.”
Vinnie lked arund and nted the size f his ffice. “I wrk quickly,” she said. Her vice was sft but cnfident as she pinted t the crner near the windws. “If I were t bring my clay here and wrk fr three hurs every afternn, I culd cmplete mst f the prject while yu are at yur desk.”
The President seemed t cnsider her idea seriusly. He gt up and shk Vinnie’s hand warmly, “I’ve heard that yu are a talented yung wman, and I have fund yu charming and intelligent as well. I cannt make my decisin immediately, but yu will hear frm me sn.”
The very next day, Vinnie received an invitatin frm the President.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了年轻的雕塑家维尼·瑞姆向美国总统林肯提出要为他做塑像的故事。维尼展现了自己的决心和才华，最终说服了总统接受她的提议，并得到了展示她技艺的机会。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The President’s deep, gentle vice helped calm the nervus girl as he shwed his dubt. (当总统表示怀疑时，他低沉、温柔的声音帮助这个紧张的女孩平静下来。)”和第四段中“President Lincln smiled. “Painters, sculptrs — they’ve all tried t make the best f this rdinary face, but I’m afraid there’s nt much hpe. What did yu have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust (半身像)?” (林肯总统笑了。“画家、雕塑家——他们都试图把这张普通的脸画得最好，但恐怕希望不大。你有什么想法，雷姆小姐?半身像?”)”可知，对于维尼给他塑像的请求，林肯总统最初表示怀疑，因为已经有很多人作过类似的尝试，并不成功。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中维尼的话“I wuldn’t have dared t ask yu, but my teacher, Mr Mills, says I am ready. I plan t make it in an admirable manner. (我本来不敢问你，但我的老师米尔斯先生说我准备好了。我打算以一种令人钦佩的方式来完成它。)”可知，是米尔斯先生鼓励的话语让维尼有信心向林肯总统提出请求。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“Vinnie’s face turned red. She realized she lked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small des nt mean weak, sir,” she defended herself. “I was brn in the cuntry f Wiscnsin. I’ve driven teams f hrses and carried water. Making a full-length clay (粘土) figure wuld nt exhaust my strength — and that is what I intend t d!” (维尼的脸变红了。她意识到自己身材娇小，看起来像个孩子。“小并不意味着弱，先生。”她为自己辩解。“我出生在威斯康辛州。我赶过马队，提过水。制作一个完整的泥人不会耗尽我的力量——这就是我打算做的!”)”可知，维尼通过强调她之前所做的繁重劳动，证明了她制作全身雕像的能力。故选C项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段中林肯的话“Hw culd I pssibly take the time t pse fr a sculpture nw? I hardly have a minute t myself. (我现在怎么可能有时间给雕塑摆造型呢?我几乎没有自己的时间。)”和倒数第三段“Vinnie lked arund and nted the size f his ffice.“I wrk quickly,” she said. Her vice was sft but cnfident as she pinted t the crner near the windws.“If I were t bring my clay here and wrk fr three hurs every afternn, I culd cmplete mst f the prject while yu are at yur desk.” (维尼环顾四周，注意到他办公室的大小。“我工作很快，”她说。她指着窗户附近的角落，声音柔和而自信。“如果我把我的粘土带到这里，每天下午工作三个小时，我可以在你坐在办公桌前的时候完成大部分项目。”)”可知，维尼想选一个靠窗户的角落是为了避免打扰林肯总统的工作。故选D项。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合最后一段中“The very next day, Vinnie received an invitatin frm the President. (就在第二天，维尼收到了总统的邀请。)”可知，文章主要讲叙了年轻的雕塑家维尼·瑞姆向林肯总统提出给他做一个全身雕像的请求，一开始林肯总统对此表示怀疑，但在维尼的不断努力争取后，她最终收到了林肯总统的邀请。由此推知，这个故事说明有志者，事竟成，意志坚定的人终能达成所愿。故选A项。
C
Returning t a bk yu’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an ld friend. There’s a welcme familiarity - but als smetimes a slight suspicin that time has changed yu bth, and thus the relatinship. But bks dn’t change, peple d. And that’s what makes the act f rereading s rich and transfrmative.
The beauty f rereading lies in the idea that ur bnd with the wrk is based n ur present mental register. It’s true, the lder I get, the mre I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all abut the present. It’s abut the nw and what ne cntributes t the nw, because reading is a give and take between authr and reader. Each has t pull their wn weight.
There are three bks I reread annually .The first, which I take t reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Mveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memir f 1920s Paris. The language is almst intxicating (令人陶醉的)，an aging writer lking back n an ambitius yet simpler time. Anther is Annie Dillard’s Hly the Firm, her petic 1975 ramble (随笔) abut everything and nthing. The third bk is Juli Crtazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Pems, because petry. And because Crtazar.
While I tend t buy a lt f bks, these three were given t me as gifs, which might add t the meaning I attach t them. But I imagine that, while mney is indeed wnderful and necessary, rereading an authr’s wrk is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best bks are the nes that pen further as time passes. But remember, it’s yu that has t grw and read and reread in rder t better understand yur friends.
29. Why des the authr like rereading?
A. It evaluates the writer-reader relatinship.
B. It’s a windw t a whle new wrld.
C. It’s a substitute fr drinking with a friend.
D. It extends the understanding f neself.
30. What d we knw abut the bk A Mveable Feast?
A. It’s a brief accunt f a trip.
B. It’s abut Hemingway’s life as a yung man.
C. It’s a recrd f a histric event.
D. It’s abut Hemingway’s friends in Paris.
31. What des the underlined wrd ＂currency＂ in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. Debt
B. Reward.
C. Allwance.
D. Face value.
32. What can we infer abut the authr frm the text?
A. He lves petry.
B. He’s an editr.
C. He’s very ambitius.
D. He teaches reading.
【答案】29. D 30. B 31. B 32. A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了重新阅读的意义和益处并向读者介绍了作者每年重读的三本书。作者鼓励读者去重新阅读书籍。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“But bks dn’t change, peple d. And that’s what makes the act f rereading s rich and transfrmative.(但是书没变，人变了。那就是使重新阅读行为如此丰富和富于变化之处)”和第二段“The beauty f rereading lies in that ur bnd with the wrk is based n ur present register. It is true, the lder I get, the mre I feel time has wings.(重新阅读的美妙之处在于我们与作品的联系是基于我们现在的心理状态。真的，我年纪越大，就越觉得时光飞逝。)”可推知，作者喜欢重新阅读是因为重新阅读可以扩展对自己的理解。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Published in 1964, it’s his classic memir f 1920s Paris.”及“an aging writer lking back n an ambitius yet simpler time”可知，这本书出版于1964年，这是他关于20世纪20年代在巴黎的经典回忆录，是他老年时对那些野心勃勃却更简单的日子的回顾。由此可判断出A Mvable Feast是关于海明威年轻时的生活。故选B项。
【31题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“while mney is indeed wnderful and necessary,(虽然金钱确实是美妙而必要的)”可知，前后句为转折关系，根据上下文的语境可推知，“rereading an authr’s wrk is the highest currency a reader can pay them.”意为“但是但重新阅读作品是读者能支付给他们的最高回报”，由此判断出划线词的意思是“回报”。故选B项。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The third bk is Juli Crtázar’s Save Twilight: selected pems, because petry.(第三本书是胡里奥·科塔扎的《拯救暮光之城: 诗歌精选》，因为诗歌)”可知，作者是由于喜欢诗歌而喜欢这本书。故选A项。
D
After years f bserving human nature, I have decided that tw qualities make the difference between men f great achievement and men f average perfrmance curisity and discntent. I have never knwn an utstanding man wh lacked either. And I have never knwn an average man wh had bth. The tw belng tgether.
Tgether, these deep human urges (驱策力) cunt fr much mre that ambitin. Galile was nt merely ambitius when he drpped bjects f varying weights frm the Leaning Twer at Pisa and timed their fall t the grund. Like Galile, all the great names in histry were curius and asked in discntent, “Why? Why? Why?”
Frtunately, curisity and discntent dn’t have t be learned. We are brn with them and need nly recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he wh des nt lse his child’s heart.” Yet mst f us d lse it. We stp asking questins. We stp challenging custm. We just fllw the crwd. And the crwd desires restful average. It encurages us t ccupy ur wn little crner, t avid flish leaps int the dark, t be satisfied.
Mst f us meet new peple, and new ideas, with hesitatin. But nce having met and liked them, we think hw terrible it wuld have been, had we missed the chance. We will prbably have t frce urselves t waken ur curisity and discntent and keep them awake.
Hw shuld yu start? Mdestly, s as nt t becme discuraged. I think f ne friend wh culdn’t arrange flwers t satisfy herself. She was curius abut hw the experts did it. Hw she is ne f the experts, writing bks n flwer arrangement.
One way t begin is t answer yur wn excuses. Yu haven’t any special ability? Mst peple dn’t; there are nly a few geniuses. Yu haven’t any time? That’s gd, because it’s always the peple with n time wh get things dne. Harriet Stwe, mther f six, wrte parts fUncle Tm’s Cabinwhile cking. Yu’re t ld? Remember that Thmas Cstain was 57 when he published his first nvel, and that Grandma Mses shwed her first pictures when she was 78.
Hwever yu start, remember there is n better time t start than right nw, fr yu’ll never be mre alive than yu are at this mment.
33. In writing Paragraph 1, the authr aims t ________.
A. prpse a definitin
B. make a cmparisn
C. reach a cnclusin
D. present an argument
34. What des the example f Galile tell us?
A. Trial and errr leads t the finding f truth.
B. Scientists tend t be curius and ambitius.
C. Creativity results frm challenging authrity.
D. Greatness cmes frm a lasting desire t explre.
35. What can yu d t recapture curisity and discntent?
A. Observe the unknwn arund yu.
B. Develp a questining mind.
C. Lead a life f adventure.
D. Fllw the fashin.
36. What can we learn frm Paragraphs 6 and 7?
A. Gaining success helps yu becme an expert.
B. The genius tends t get things dne creatively.
C. Lack f talent and time is n reasn fr taking n actin.
